(00:22):
Ready to talk some foosball and week thirteen. I'm ready
to wrap up thirteen with a weekass Monday night football game.
We'll get you excited about other stuff because that game
is going to be doodo pop. I mean, isn't it.
I mean, could we be shocked? I mean, anything's possible.
With stranger things on Netflix, we are living in the
upside down. Yeah. All the teams that we thought were
gonna be good are just okay. And then of course

(00:44):
you got the Packers, the Cowboys, Bangles, and Bears just dominating.
No mind of course Broncos with the win. You keep
just naming the Thursday and Friday games. You did that earlier.
Did you check out after Friday? No, because those are
the biggest surprises to me. The games that happened to
be on Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving games all surprise me. I
know Rich said, you know he was, he believed in
the Cowboys. That feels like none of that. Well, I

(01:06):
hate to break it to you. That was part of
the weekend fun.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
That was ago.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I don't remember talking about it with you. So I
hope you enjoyed all the games, hope you enjoyed all
the fixings. And we're here to discuss all of week thirteen,
not just yesterday, as what we do right, So let's
get into it. We do it every Monday. Things that
made you go hmmm, things that make you go, things

(01:31):
that make you go, well, Mom's stuffing made me go mmmmm.
But a lot of those games I mentioned made me
go hmmm. Rich, you've been on fire with your calls.
But I did not see the Packers winning. I told no,
I said the Lion. The Lion's implosion began this week.
Well you know what week ago. Speaking of that game,
let me start off with the positive. I'm wearing my

(01:52):
Honolulu Blue today Covino and Rich sweatshirt, Covino Andrich dot
com get your holiday merch. I'm wearing this because, well
not because of the Lions, because I thought their halftime
show was superb. It was Jack White is a rock
and roll Hall of Famer, a local good enough with

(02:13):
just Jack White. I'm a big White Stripes fan. I
love him. I think he's a royal weirdo, but I
think he's phenomenally weird because it pale and yeah, who
I was saying, you look at that guy and you
don't think he's a peculiar fellow.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
He's very pale, kind of like Edward scissor Hands pale.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's fine, looks like a normal dude. I know people
saying that's my guy, even though musically he is. Musically
looks weird about him. Besides the paleness, hairstyle, everything about
Rockstar aesthetically he looks kind of aesthetically strange, right, But
as far as musically, one of my favorites. He rocked
the joint rock Contours, White Stripes like all of his stuff,

(02:53):
his solo stuff. So he comes out and rocks it out,
and you're thinking, now, this is a halftime show, this
is great, this is local pro he's from Detroit, rock City.
And then sure enough you get the collaboration of dreams
are made of pleasing everybody in the world of rock
and hip hop. Eminem comes out and you're thinking, now,
that's a halftime show, bro, because everybody's pumped and excited

(03:15):
and surprised and happy in that moment. That's a halftime
Apparently in that moment, Bed Bunny let out a big guy. No, seriously, dude,
because that hits every pocket of awesome. I loved it,
and I'm not criticizing bad Bunny or what that spectacle
is going to be, but that really did hit all
the feelds, all the sweet spots of what you're into,

(03:38):
little rock, little hip hop, both legends, hometown pride. That
got me fired up. That's what a halftime show's supposed
to do. Something way cool and way fun about Jack
why all. I know that feels like a long time ago, rich,
but I never got a chance to express how pumped
I was. And today's my day. So that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Man.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Today's the last day of leftovers, and today's the las
day you can talk about thanks Giving games. I mean, ay,
it made me go hmm, and it made me say,
that's what halftime's supposed to be. Now, Post Malone I
usually find to be a more intriguing artist, but I
feel like his set was sort of a stinker. I
love post Malone. I love his Dallas cowboy love again.

(04:18):
In that game, they brought out another hometown dude, Post
Malone loves his cowboys.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
My favorite was the ten seconds of Little John that
NBC showed. Really, people are like, what happened to the
Little John halftime show?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And what was the other one? Because I missed it?
Wasn't there another halftime show? Or was that? Was that it?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I think that that was it? Yeah? Those three artists.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
That were oh those are the three?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Those were the three being advertised for Thanksgiving? Ye?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
So what made you go? All things are fair? Week
thirteen NFL could have been a movie you watched. I
can't play along. I got NBA thoughts, I got movie thoughts,
I got all sorts of thoughts. I can't play along.
What hell? What are you talking about? Lil John? Little
John came out whatever Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It was halftime. There was a halftime show. They didn't
they didn't show it. Though.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Hold On Rich knows this because he posed this question
on Our Patriot this morning. Wasn't there another one? I
was like, yeah, there was? It was a hip hop
back that come. And then someone corrected us and said, no,
they did like a John Madden tribute.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
The telecast went to the John Madden tribute, but in
the stadium, Little John was performing.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Any thought they didn't show us.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
They came back right before commercial and showed like ten
seconds Little John.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay, I'm glad because I was like, wait a minute,
was I was I in a food coma? But that
makes it all like, man, because I thought the other
two were entertaining, and I remember thinking like, yes, we
had people over, and I'm like, I feel like everyone
would have stopped him, be like, oh look it's Little John.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
There was a a headline here. It says fans erupted
after NBC skips Little John's halftime show during Bengals Ravens game.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, So nbcare you, and I'll bring it up to
yesterday's speed, Rich, And look all's fair as far as
week thirteen. As far as I'm concerned. Rich doesn't want
to talk about anything that happen Thursday Friday. But I like,
this has been four or five days of sports talk
between then and now. I'm here for it. Guess what
I was doing not on the radio. So I'm here
for it though, And I'll bring you up to speed

(06:08):
from yesterday with all sorts of observations, Vikings stink right.
We could admit the Vikings are done. They lost their
way with a four and eight lost their way. Just
no bueno. I'm watching some of the pregame show and
I'm watching I think it was on Red Zone. I
saw it, but I saw that the big dumper, Cal
Rawley was at the game, Seattle. Did you see that?

(06:31):
And when you think of the big dumper, you just
think this guy hits bombs. He's a big dude. We
saw him at the All Star Game. And when you
think wide receivers, when I think Cooper Cup, I don't
think of him to be as you know, big fella.
I think of him as an average fella. You know,
side by side, he looked bigger than he was big dumper.
Was that Cooper Cupp or Jake Paul exactly like? Because

(06:53):
he looked big like Jake Paul. I don't think of
Cooper Cup as big like that. And he was just
as big, not bigger than the big dumper Cal Raley.
Oh out side by side we disagree. I would have
thought Cooper Cup definitely bigger. I say I wouldn't have
thought of him that way. He looked, Oh they talk
about hier ass. Yes, I'm talking just all around mamthity
and mass as size. Cal Raley Caro, he's got the

(07:16):
big ass. We know that, but it was cool to
see them and their mutual respect and just to see
like a guy that I think of as a smaller
whine out is just as big as anybody in the MLB,
just looking big like a beast. But Cooper Cup leading
Seattle twenty six nothing over the Vikings that made me say,
I mean just started off lightly. What makes me think

(07:37):
that's even bigger than you think. I mean, I know
Minnesota is not the most formidable opponent, but Damn Bayer
has to be like secretly pumped that this team. It's
like so under the radar good right now when you
see the Eagles, and we said this like a week ago,
so I feel we feel like geniuses here. The Eagles
are like always, I feel like they're on the brink

(07:58):
of unraveling. This stinks. I mean, whether it's the Bucks
or the Panthers, that's a first round elimination. The West
is decked and the North is confusing. Yo, the Seattle
Seahawks might be like arguably the top two teams in
the NFC right now? What is going on? Nine in three?
There's dope.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I thought yesterday on a scroll guys of one of
the one of the screens that it was they were
tied for second for the shortest odds for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
So they were tied for second.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
I don't know if it was Rams number one, because
the Rams have the edge over them right now.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
But it's true.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
And in fact, when you look at the playoff picture,
you always have to kind of read with the details,
Like you look at the Bears. They're number one right
NFC on top of everything, look at playoff probability for
them right now, and then look at what it is
for the Rams and the Seahawks where they're locked in
a lot more than the Bears are. But yeah, guys,
it's right there. And coming up in a couple of weeks,
the Seahawks have the Rams coming to Seattle for a

(08:56):
Thursday night game with an opportunity to overtake the Divisi
should lead in the NFC West, and then a date
looms with Riches, Niners and we eighteen dude.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
And as of right now, I mean I know my
Niners are in full health but who is right? I mean,
I thought the season was yeah, maybe a wash after
Bosa and then Fred Warner got hurt. But the Niners
are showing some grit and heart. They're well coached, nine four,
looking way to beat the Browns just like you thought
they would. They're winning the games they should and and
dB what a division when you think that the of

(09:29):
the forty nine ers, My forty nine ers are nine
and four and they're in third place. The NFC West
is nine and three, nine and three, nine and four.
What a division. It's fantastic.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Seahawks have a game against the Falcons coming up this week,
so that should be that's a winnable football game for them.
But it's funny because with those percent chances, the Buccaneers
are at eighty eighty six percent, Packers are at eighty eight.
The Bears right now still seventy six percent playoff possibility,
where your Niner rich ninety two percent that they're going

(10:02):
to be in.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well you know why, because the Niners have a bye
week and then they play the Titans, who are one
to ten. You win that game, you're ten and four,
and as we've done the math, I think you need
to win eleven games on you're in, which means a
nine er would have to win one of their final three,
and then you're eleven and six, and I feel like
that might be enough to punch a ticket to the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah, it better be. Last year there were fifteen double
digit win teams in the NFL. One missed the playoffs.
Those the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
They were ten and seven seven. I think eleven eleven
does it? What does brock Perdy do that hooty, the
dougie or the gritty? What's he doing?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
And so, Yeah, you liked how you hit that motion?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, what's he doing next? Solder boy, I don't know
why you guys are so gonna do the worm if
they made the playoffs? Why is everyone so shocked? As
George Kittle sait after the game, Why is it weird
to you that some white dude has rhythm hit me
with the dougie? I was, Sam, do you know how
to do the dougie? It's not really that weird. All
young people dance, young dudes dance, All young dudes dance.

(10:56):
It just looks corny. I think, just doesn't look Do
you think he look corny? Or I thought he looked
smooth dance for like half a second. Corny. He's a
great football player, but he's sort of nerdy. It's like
Eli Manning doing the Douggie. Do you think brock Purty's
is nerdy as Eli Manning? Yes, I want to see
him do the Harlem shake. So a young person dancing,
that's just like sort of their birthright. All young dudes

(11:16):
do that, all right, So then let me ask you what.
I'm not like that impressed, but it is. It just
looks odd because we're not used to it. I'm not
mad at him for doing it. What was more fun
for you to see him brock perty do the Dougie
or cam binam After an interception for the cults, he
broke out a dance and everyone's like, what's that dance?
Why does that look familiar? It was the Erkle dance.

(11:37):
Perkle dance. Oh you have to do with your bed
that's Richard's birthright. This is what I would know. That
got me cheese? Did I do that dance? Young people dance?
I'm not surprised, but it was a bit of a

(11:58):
story that Purdy did Douggie and he did it well.
But it's just I don't know's there's something there. I
just I don't know if I'm the guy to point
it out.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
We see him pushing cowboy boots and TV commercials, that's why.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, that's probably it. Got to talk Steelers too. The
Steelers loose to the Bills twenty six seven, Steelers are
six and six, and the buzz here is and we
see Aaron Rodgers looking old, taking those hits, bleeding, getting sacked,
blood on his nose and everything else. He bled his
own blood. He bled his own blood. It just adds.

(12:30):
Just asked the sad story. And you see the highlights
and you see the photos and you're like, these hits
have to hurt a little more and getting up if
you feel it in your back and you feel it
and you're in your bones, you're like, ah, I'm too
old for this nonsense. So what's it the hand of
Tomlin and Rogers? And I say, yeah, it looks that way.
It's the beginning of the end. Right, was it the
hit that Bosa put on him? I think so where

(12:51):
you were like, oh, it looks like you could feel
when you watch those plays and you watch Aaron right,
like there's something about it, like you feel it in
your in your wavos, like you feel like you feel
in your bones when he's hit you. You know, when
I like send you a video like I don't know,
like some fat mom or dad like trying to do
a cartwheel and they fall and you feel their pain, like, oh,

(13:13):
you don't usually feel that in sports because you're like, oh,
they're professional athletes. When Aaron Rodgers gets smushed, you're like, oh,
like dad, you okay, your sciatica kicks in. Yeah, exactly.
There's something about that. So interestingly enough, if you want
to talk about things that made you go hm, week
thirteen of the NFL, I think that's a trend of

(13:34):
and I get it because we live in a clickbait world.
We live in a world where you see short little
clips on TikTok and Instagram, and that's the worldly living.
So you can't deny how we consume clips in media, right,
Like a lot of things you see. The sad reality
is you're like, yeah, I saw it. We live in
a red zone sort of world on TikTok. Yeah I
did see both of these clips on TikTok. I can't lie.
I'm scrolling and you see some of the sports highlights

(13:56):
and there's a trend of and I get it because
if you're reporter, what do you want? You want people
to be clicking. There's a lot of reporters trying to
set up quarterbacks and players with like gotcha type of questions.
And I thought it was cool that a young dude
like Shad or Sanders. Here's the juxtaposition, my favorite word
of the buth a young guy who just started in

(14:18):
the league and another guy who's like been in the
league twenty years, both being baited by the press, insinuating
like come on, say something bad about your coach, and
neither guy twenty years old or forty years old essentially
took the bait. Let's start with Chador questioning Kevin Stefanski's
play calling, and they were trying to get Shador to

(14:39):
throw coach onto the bus? Did you like Kevin having
the address amiss.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
There even backed up in your care cur I mean, first,
that's a rude question to ask if I'm if I
think you know, it was a great call, but my coach, you.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Know, like the impression that you like the call, like
do you like I'm being out there playing? So so
whatever that comes with it comes with I love that reaction,
I do. I don't know how rude it was, but again,
it was a question of baiting him to say something negative.
I mean, but but I love that he spun it

(15:12):
positive because I think we all get that vibe. Even
though you couldn't do much against your forty nine ers,
rich you know, he wants to be out there playing,
and I love that for him. I don't know if
it was Stephanie Tanner rude, Yeah, no, I don't think,
but I mean, but he was baiting though. And then
Aaron Rodgers took more of an approach of like, I
see what you're trying to do here.

Speaker 7 (15:31):
Do you see the flatness with the end of the
game and in practice it's something that's not being done
right from a coaching aspect or preparation aspect.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's kind of bringing good guys in the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
He looks, he looks for a second. I know what
you're trying to ask, and I'm not going to go
down that road at all. I believe in the coaching staff.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
I believe in Mike Tumblin.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
That's why I came here. And players need to take.

Speaker 7 (15:53):
Accountability, my self included, and I will and I will
continue to I got to play better.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
So other great response there's and I get it because
you get these guys in a vulnerable postgame moment where
they're adrenaline still pumping, they're coming off a loss. Both
of those guys coming off in.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
L People were cheering or chanting fire Tomlin at the game,
and I think you'd hear. I think he was being
picked up by the cameras and Shador knows.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
You know, you know what Rogers could have done, though
it would have been petty, but he could have hit
him back with like, what do you think? Because remember
when they asked Tomlin about Rogers and his performance, he
said something kind of questionable. I thought in response, there
was a little long lines of what did you think?
Or you saw it? What do you think? Rodgers could
have hit him back with that, Ye tell me what

(16:37):
you think. But again it would have been petty and
uncalled for. And as his coach, and I do believe
that's why he went. If he didn't believe in Tomlin,
he wouldn't be on the Steelers right now getting his
ass handed to him. So I thought great responses handled
well by a rookie and a veteran in that situation.
You know what I made me go. I'll tell you
what maybe go and you probably see this week two

(16:58):
week dB, because I know you're monitoring these games when
you're live here on Fox Sports Radio. I wonder, I'm like,
why are the Browns so bad if they have such
a great defense, because they make a lot of mistakes
and the offense really can't do much special teams they
make they I don't know if there's like blunders like
the Niners. The Niners didn't play that well, yet they

(17:19):
won by like almost twenty. There's like a muffed punt,
there's like fourth downs where they fumble the snap like
this just a folly of error.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yeah, I would have to think it's pretty amazing in
the contrast, because I know you're a forty nine Ers fan,
but there are obvious wards, especially because of the injuries,
where maybe you're not believing as much in your team,
but they are just significantly better than a team that
is one of the best units in all of the
NFL on defense. It is such a weird contrast.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Like discipline and like good coaching and like minimizing your
little mistakes.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Like, yeah, I think it makes you realize that your
problems aren't as bad as you may think that they are,
especially at nine to four, Like when you see how
other shops are run.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Huh, it was.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
It was wild. I'm like, man, this team. If I'm
a Browns fan and our buddy Shay heroes me Chipotle,
he hit me up and he goes, yo, bet on
the game, and I'm like, you want to bet on
your Browns. I'll take for Chipotle, but you're a young kid.
I'm not gonna take more than that, but I'll let
you buy me a burrito bowl. You really want to
bet this? He's like, yeah, So, y'all that Browns team
personnel wise, you would think, like they kept talking the

(18:23):
whole game about how number two defense, number two this
sacks on quarterback rushing and pressure they put on the quarterback.
And it's true, it's just they they can't do much
more than that. Well, I was saying, I hope you
had a panther sort of weekend. We got to talk
about them too. There were some big surprises over this weekend,
and we've had that all season long. Week thirteen, So

(18:46):
what were your thoughts. In the world of movies, I
saw some movies that made me say hmm. I saw
some things in the NBAS made me say I saw
things in the Fight game that made me say, hmm.
But we'll take your phone calls and feedback next anything
you observed as we head into your weekass Monday night
football game is Cavino and Rich It's good to be back.

(19:08):
Two observations, sure, one with football, one that has nothing
to do with football. Yeah, I got a bunch of
different ones football. Sorry, Detroit fans. I declared it last
week that if you lost your you were chopped. It's
over right. Could very well be the case seven and
five now and they're up. You know they have some
tough games. It might be it for the Lions. Could

(19:31):
I give you my other team that I think is
headed in that direction? And you know, don't need to
obviously say this, because I think it is obvious after
yesterday they caught some bad luck the Colts. Yeah, the
momentum is the thing, and if you believe in momentum,
we'll get their schedule coming up. And yesterday was more
important than you thought, because now Texans defense and I

(19:51):
got it. Huh, look like that. But I thought the
Colts were still good enough to to maybe pull that
one out, Rich.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I feel like the Colts are similar to the arger
situation where they have money in the bank from their
wins earlier year.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
They do. It's almost like they're playing with they're playing
they're playing with house money for a while, but you're
now in second place technically behind the Jags. Houston's right
there on your heels at seven and five. And if
you look at Indie schedule coming up, it's not nice.
They play the Jags in an amazing early game on Sunday,
then they have to go play your Seahawks. Then they

(20:24):
the Colts have to play my Niners, then they play
the Jags again, and then the Texans Colts are toasts.
Butter them up, dude, they had toast stick a fork,
but as Grandma would do, put a little cinnamon sugar
on it. While you're at it. The Colts are done.
Not looking good. Texans over the Colts this weekend with
up DP Your thoughts, Well, I was.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Just a man, Rich Davis. He just stole my line.
Oh guy, yeah, you may have you may have heard.
You may have heard of if the glove don't fit,
you must have quit.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I do know that one. Yeah, if Daniel Jones can't run.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
The Colts are done and he has a fracture in
his leg and he cannot move.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
I've heard people that he kills you can't run colts. Yes,
that is exactly it.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
So you know Johnny Cochran up there has given us
the thumbs up on that one.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
He's got a fracture on his leg.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Sauce Gardner is now out a couple of weeks because
of his calf strain. They just gave up two first
round picks for him. Yes, momentum is not a friend
of those in Indy.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Dude, that Chiefs loss that we were like, well, you know,
you win so many little some and the Chiefs needed it.
That lost to the Chiefs and then that lost of
the Texans yesterday and then again Camino. They're eight and four.
I would not be like, I would not well, I
think they're gonna go under five hundred and their final five.
I wouldn't be shocked if they're one and four. They
played the Jacks twice, the Niners, the Seahawks, and the

(21:42):
Texans again. That is the most unforgiving schedule culture toast.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
Did you see they wore their alternate uniforms yesterday. They
didn't wear the horseshoe. It was a man walking under
a ladder.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Done done, done done. That's bad luck. The horseshoe is
good luck. Headline on their head cinnamon, that's yeah, that's
that's for the forty nine ers games, the black Cat uniforms.
So we talked about the Lions last week and now
it's the Colts. Two teams that Uh my goodness, how
things work so quickly. A month ago we're saying, Yo,

(22:16):
Daniel Jones have the juice to win a Super Bowl?

Speaker 8 (22:18):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Does this team have the juice to make the postseason?
I say no, Well you know who has the juice? Oh?
I think is out by the way, I think the
culture out, and I think the Chargers if they stumble
one more time. There's there's teams that are on their tail.
There's hot teams like the Texans that you don't want
to bump into right now. No, No, they're heating out
for sure. But who has the juice? How far would
you go to get it? Des Rocks has the juice?

(22:39):
Does Rocks has a new song called the Juice Out?
But the Broncos got the juice and they beat the
Commanders yesterday, And you know what made me say, hmmm,
the pronunciation of Marcus Mariota. I'm sorry, do you mean Mariota?
The emphasis on the tea, the hard tea. All of
a sudden, had the world thrown for a loop last night.

(23:00):
I did what we all do. I immediately went to
social media. I read there were seventeen different pronunciations of Marioto.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I was likely say, Marioto, this is.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Driving me insane. Marioto. It was driving me insane to
the point where I was like, I can't be the
only one. This is annoying. I go on Twitter, it's trending.
No one can understand why I was sudden. Chris Collinsworth is
putting some hard emphasis on Marioto. Made me go, hmm,
is there had to be some sort of pre show
meeting where he actually said or someone actually said, well,
the real pronunciation is mariotome.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yeah, because he said that to the press before they've
asked him. All of a sudden, your family say it right.
We've heard other players say their names, but that's not
how the general public or sports reporters say the name.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So earlier in the year, remember Bjon Robinson was like, yes, Bajon,
but you guys can call me Bjon and of course
the tad tyrod all that.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
But this was funny because one of the only things,
one of the only reasons I would trade Brenda in
is she hits her tees really hard and annoy me
every day. Instead of just saying mountains, look at the
mountains over there, she says look at the mountains over there.
Often hit so hard on every word that has a
tea in it. I've often the family decade, Danny g

(24:19):
that we've known this dude well over a decade.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
He's been Marcus Mariota all of a sudden last night, Mariota,
however you.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Say it, just don't say it like NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Marcus Mariotto exactly what.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
It's crazy. Brenda's been saying his name the right way
this whole time.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
See that made me go home last night. But the
Broncos again tending to look dominant. I said the other
team besides the Cults, that if they don't get their
act together, could be done. So they won yesterday. They
beat up your Raiders. That's not a good gauge, no offense,
Danny g Right, the Chargers listen to the Chargers schedule
coming up, Eagles, Chiefs, PuF. The Witch loves to look

(25:01):
at the schedule, game schedule.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Watch it.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
They play the Eagles, the Chiefs, who you know are
gonna be fighting for a spot at that point. Then
they have to go to Dallas, who the Cowboys have
looked really good. Then they play the Texans and the Broncos.
Chargers and Colts. Enjoy Walt Less because I think you
might be on the outside looking in within a few weeks.
You Aaron Lewis and Stained but Rich. I'll tell you what.

(25:25):
You know what made me go hmm about Danny's Raiders.
It is Max Cosby knocking Herbert on his ass and
then realizing, yeah, it was great, but then realizing like
ah my bad apologized and you know, they sort of
hugged it out a little bit.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
He pulled a Philip Rivers though, Like remember that famous
clip where Philip Rivers is shouting in the defender's ear. Yeah,
at that time, Philip Rivers did not get pushed down
the way all of us wished to. He did, and
half the Internet was like, thank goodness, someone needs to
push Herbert down when he's screaming like that.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
But I, you know, noticeable. I don't know how I
feel about it, but I thought it was interesting to see.
Maybe I got I got an observation not football related
Thanksgiving that we got a couple of people over the
house trying to figure out what you throwing. You know,
games are over. I saw your gravy. Oh the great
the fixings.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'll give you something X rated wife something. My wife
did something to the turkey that sounds x rayed, you like,
specocked it or something cock doing? What did you do
to it?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Spatch cock?

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, if I spot, I posted something about scratch. My
wife is the cook of the house, even on the
green Egg. Everything of the house by the handyman. My
wife is the man of the house. She does everything.
She's also like the landscaper and everything. Watch kids, babysitter.
That's all the crafting. My wife, handlestick maker. She specocked
the turkey.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
No, no, you're I don't think you're getting it right.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
What is it? Spot? Spatch cocked?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
She You're gonna talk about it multiple times a day.
Maybe you should get it right, Mario. It's a well
known term.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Rich Can you please explain the process of spatch cocking.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Apparently she said she violated this bird, like you have
to like break it apart and break it essentially make
it flat. If she put on the green egg and
it was the juiciest best turkeys.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
We've never had, so it could lay flat for you
remove the backbone and then you flatten the breastbone so
everything cooks evenly, so it's not you know, you're not having.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Dry I don't know the process I that. Yeah, Well, anyway,
it was fantastic, juiciest turkey. After the fixings, after the food,
after the football. I throw on Netflix, and I just
want to throw this out here. This is an observation
I made. Have you ever played games on Netflix? No,
you could play like there's all these multiplayer games board.

(27:46):
I'm just saying, Danny, if the five of us are
at my house right, we could all scan a QR
code and you're playing like pictionary on your phone on
the TV. There's team trivia that you just you just
scan a QR code. I don't think most people even
know this exists.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
I've seen it because co Op Press is on it
constantly thinking it's a video clip.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
You scroll past it all the time. But there's a
game section where there's all these like interactive games. So
you've got friends over your kids whatever, Hey, give it
a shot. This is a weekend observation, is it not?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I got another weekend observation then, and I'll save mine
after Dan Bayer gives you a sweet ass update. That
was a sweet ass I mean Dan Byer's got a
sweet ass true.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
But also I was trying to look for the spatchcocked
chicken that I had cooked a couple of years ago.
Have the old picture on the photo album on the phone,
so likely coming to an inbox near you. Guys, coming
to a college football field near you, or at least
in Baton Rouge. Lane Kiffin introduced today as the new

(28:47):
at football coach at LSU.

Speaker 6 (28:49):
I felt like everybody that I talked to outside of
the state that I was in, Paul basically said the
same thing. You were going to regret it if you
don't take the shot and you don't go tell us
you best job in America is the best resources and
doing it.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
So Kiffin is not going to coach Ole Miss.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
We knew that in the college football Playoff, but he
could get paid for how well they do bat Rouge
advocate says that LSU is going to pay him the
bonuses that he could have earned if he would have
coached Ole Miss through the college football playoff.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Hey, it's Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington from The Odd
Couple on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
It's Christmas time and we're live from the Fox Sports
Radio studio and it's time for our tire rack. Play
of the day. The Broncos blocked Mariota in overtime? Who
Mariota in overtime? Marioto Denver with the blitz on the way.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
Baka fucking by Nick Banto.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Heavy Broncos won it. Great play by Nick Benito.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
He came untouched and the Broncos in overtime have beaten
the Commanders twenty seven to twenty six.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
And the frustrating part of your commanders. Fan, get that
ball over Benito's hand. It's a walk in two point conversion.
You win that game. And it was a hard fought battle.
But Mariota look pretty good. He looked pretty good. I
feel like he is a legitimate backup in the NFL.
That's courtesy of KOA eight fifty AM and ninety four
to one FM, Broncos Radio. That's our tire rect play

(30:49):
of the day, wrapping up things that made you go.
Any other athletes come to mind where we just started
pronouncing their name different. Our buddy Rob who listens on
our affiliate in San Antonio, said, in college, it was
Tony Dorset and then in the NFL it was Tony Dorset.
Terrelduh to than and he broke his thisman, didn't he Haybell?

(31:16):
George Bell. After a while, like we started switching up
John Carlos Stanton was originally Mike Stanton. He changed his name.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, Y went to Yael.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
Yeah uh.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Sarah Michelle Geller went to Galar. That's true, Sarah Michelle Galar.
You know Denzel Washington. We called her Camilla Cabello for
a long time until she was like, nah, it's cabe.
I thought the Denzel thing was recent. Didn't we just
see that on like it was trending on like social media? Denzel,
Denzel Washington, Denzel Better. Yeah, but he said his mom

(31:50):
called him Denzil Denzil. So in non related observations, non
football revent at observations, I should say is I saw
Wicked for Good over the weekend with family. Wicked for Good,
the sequel for Wicked. It was Wicked, like barely good Wicked. Okay.
I thought it was great, and I'm a fan. For

(32:11):
the record, I've seen the play. I like Wizard of Oz.
He was just a yeah, maybe you're in a bad mood.
I thought it was great.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I mean, I don't know how much of a better
mood I could have been. It was Thanksgiving weekend with
my entire family, so it was just in basketball news.
Can anyone make Sketchers?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Now?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Look, I'm not the guy dumping on Sketchers. I think
they're a great brand, they serve a purpose, they're comfortable.
I used to rock them back in the day, but
they've got a stigma now right. Joel Embiid debuted his
Sketcher sneaker over the weekend and it's kind of cool.
But I'm wondering can he be the guy to change
the stigma to make him cool again? The first slip

(32:50):
on NBA Tennisue. Everything goes in cycles, right, Danny G.
It just thinks that one person, Snoop Dogg put a
line out there that people say is great for Sketchers.
Was he the guy? I don't know? Did you buy him?
Come on? Could someone in the NBA make them cool?
That made me say, hmmm? I think it takes I
think someone told us once. I think you actually asked
someone that was a marketer for a car company. Sometimes

(33:13):
it could really just take a generation to change your
perception of a brand, like younger people like Hyundai Kiya
this car brands that your generation might be like trash cars.
Younger kids might be like, oh, Kia halftime show with
the NBA, or they might think it's a cooler brand
than you think. Joel mb Debut's first signature shoe with

(33:34):
Sketchers nice. I don't know. They're kind of cool. They
are cool. They know you could show me all day,
but I can't tell you any dude that that would
I know that would rock Sketchers on purpose in you
early two thousands, I was rocking them, and then all
of a sudden, like they became affiliated with like nurses
and cooks and like little kids with light up shoes
or something guys. Comfort guys. You got associated with comfort guys,

(33:54):
rock Jordan's or dunks, and then hipster younger people knew
balance and back again. That's here in this country the world.
Why they're like number two after Nikes. I'm just saying, like,
you know then that what we used to call dat.
You like that new balance, Like mow the launch all white,
that's new balance. That's barbecue and mow the lawn that's
popular again with young dudes. I just can't. I just
can't see anyone rockin Sketchris and this made me go, hmmm.

(34:18):
Jimwell pociaw was a guest on our bonus show Over
promised you could watch it on Covino and Rich FSR.
That's Manny's son. He made his debut over the weekend.
I saw the highlights with the draw. Though Brandon Lallely
got the draw because he fought a really tough opponent
for his debut fight. People are saying that's a mistake.
They should have gave him a tomato can, and then
of course he got Jake Paul aj eighteen days from

(34:40):
now because it's the first of the month, but as
of today, Tia Fimo versus Shakur Stevenson January thirty first
for the WBA WBO super Lightweight. So that makes me
go hmmm, well, more of your observations from week thirteen
of the NFL. Plus, we're gonna go away up prize
this hour, We're gonna play our favorite game, Last One Standing.
Plus we're gonna talk about all fights at work or

(35:01):
in the clubhouse or locker room, all coming up. Everybody
chiming in live at Covino and rich FSR and YouTube.
We're streaming live heay way, so watch we hear Covino
and rich FSR and we be rocking out. Let's go
action packed our Last one Standing. We're gonna play some games,

(35:21):
giving away surprises. So excited. I'm gonna do the dougie
like rock party. Then I'm gonna do rkle dance like
cam bining them maybe you shouldn't and wrapping up things
that made you go hm. There's any final thoughts or
phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine O Fox get
to us now. I don't know if you heard what
I said, but a fight was announced and it's better

(35:42):
than Jake Paul aj There's more to life than spectacle nonsense, right,
So tia Fimo Lopez fighting Shakur Stevenson. Nothing, that's a battle.
January thirty first, a WBO super Lightweight bout Chakor's defense.
Will tia Fimo be able to penetrate when again, he's
arguably better fighters. He beat Lomachenko, So tia Fimo Chakurt,

(36:04):
that's a battle. January thirty first. So the new year's
starting off with a bang, and we're closing out with
Jake Paul and a jan in December. So some good
fights maybe no WBO, more like BO. Yeah, that stinks.
Spot Danny Jos thinks Wicked and Rich came in here
cheering about it and that movie was so mediocre it's crazy.

(36:25):
I know it's terrible. Made a quarter billion dollars, something
doesn't matter. Susan Boyle sold millions of CDs. That doesn't
mean it's good. It was just okay. So Hit Corse,
Stephenson and tia Fimo Lopez are both guys that haven't
done anything exciting in a while. Tia Fimo stunk it
up almost boring. Fight. You're ever gonna see the one
outside in New York City? Right, He's the only guy

(36:46):
that fuck could that night?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
So again.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Today and any thoughts, just give us a call eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Who do we got Danny J.
Let's start with Trip in Vegas? Trip? Why are you tripping? Yo?

Speaker 10 (36:58):
What I've aut of gentle unhappy holidays? It's good to
have you all back at the regular time. I have
two things. One uh for MB He's perfect for sketchers
because if you're not going to play their comfortable shoes.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Aah, that's a good one. Comfortable for lounging. Trip. I
posed the question a few minutes ago. People just joined
us that Joel andb debut is new sketcher shoe. I said,
can anyone make it cool again? Because I'm not denying
that it's a comfortable shoe and at a super popular worldwide,
but here in the USA it has a stigma of
like a like an elder shoe. Maybe I don't know.

(37:36):
And there's a lot of feedback on her chat that
were saying, now they'll never get past that stigma. So
it takes a younger generation to just say, now that's that,
we own it and it becomes cool again. All right,
d then then let's go through this, right, Let's let's
keep it real. Let's think it through instead of just
dismissing it. Sketchers what I consider a nerdy shoe. That's

(37:58):
somehowmer shoe Esteban says a listen, dude, I'm not a
sneakerhead by any means. You're just a balloonhead, but a
good one. I don't know any grown man someone actually
laughing at that, that that's gotta be a fake left
here in their head. That's why I can't say what

(38:20):
I want to say, right. So my point is Sketchers,
which has a reputation that's hard to get. It's hard
to like really make it something trendy and cool, right,
like you think like your uncle might wear sketches, that
your little nephew might wear sketches. I warm in nearly
two thousands. It's twenty five years ago. I know, go

(38:41):
through all four major sports. Due people are buying them.
They're the only shoe brand, or one of the only
shoe brands with their own you know, their own stores
at the mall just out. There's a sketchy store right
here in Ventura. Dude, it's a warehouse. You should be
in OZ gifts full on where I don't get it.
So people are buying them. You tell me knucklehead, and

(39:02):
I don't Want'd rather say something else other than knucklehead.
You tell me what Major League Baseball player, what NFL star,
what NBA star? Like? Who do you think right now
is so cool? Allah? The Michael Jordan of their time,
the Tom Brady someone that that You're like, Oh, they're
just so damn cool that a younger generation would be like, well,
if they're wearing it, so do Like how the Jenners

(39:24):
have makeup. That's billions of dollars because the Jenners and
the Kardashians wear makeup and skims and all this stuff,
and millions and millions of people buy it immediately. Well
you you bring them up. They made Champion cool again. Champion,
you were buying it Dick's Sporting goods. No one was
rocking Champion for twenty years, and then the Kardashians start
wearing Champion. I need a trend again. But then all right,

(39:44):
didn't answer, this is it if show Hey Atani yesh Hey.
But if show Hay instead of buy, if show hayes
like I got these new Sketcher cleats, yes, would every
someone of that caliber? Yes, because and I'll go international
star helps too. But again, internationally Sketchers does well, and

(40:07):
I'll put them in the same category. New Balance always
known for their comfort and quality of shoes. Sketchers good
quality shooters, no question.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Yeah, I think of dad shoes when you say New Balance.
But how about Steph Curry? People were rocking under armour
because of him. He's a free agent now, by the way,
so maybe Sketchers should talk with him.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
But I look at Steph as a star, but he's
not the young cool guy anymore. He's like the veteran champion,
one of the veterans, so that kids still I'm just thinking, like,
is there someone because that gut doesn't have the juice. No,
SGA got to deal with Nike because he was the

(40:44):
main guy that Shaq was trying to recruit for Rebox.
That was the whole special was about trying to recruit
him for Rebock. But he was already under contract. I'm
pretty sure with Nike he already had a sweet deal going.
Who would be that guy to change the stigma? Your thoughts?
But Trip, you had one more thought? What up Trip,
I do?

Speaker 10 (41:03):
Hey? Thanks for keeping me on my line. How about
this things to make you go human home? You know
what I'm saying. But tiight end, Greg Olsen is now
calling plays for the Raiders and brock Burs regardless of
the outcome, has a big game. That's what I was
thinking about.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
I was thinking about the pizza you bought us last week,
and I don't want to thank you for that. Appreciate it,
That's what I was saying. That was great. We must
thank Trip for that delicious speech. Hey, speaking of Steph Curry,
did you see over the weekend? Again? We got fixing's
on our mind. You're visiting friends and family. You may
have missed a few things here and there. Seth Curry
signed with the Golden State Warriors. I thought that was
pretty cool. Maybe go hmmm, I mean Thanksgiving. He missed

(41:44):
out on all my trips fun you know, all the
winning that the Golden State Warriors did. But to say
that he played for them with his brother, I think
that's kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (41:52):
I felt bad for Ad when we filled in on
Thanksgiving for Dan Patrick. We talked about how Anthony Davis
had was going to return for the Black Friday game
against the Lakers, and after the Laker w didn't he
just look kind of like homesick when he was hugging
Ruey and some of his former teammates.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
It was so sad, it really was. And seeing that
he and Lebron still had their handshake and everything, Yeah,
it looks like he doesn't belong. And now we're hearing
today that they're thinking about aditioning to him to the Bulls.
But that's his hometown, which would be cool, but you
don't want to see a superstar bouncing around like that
year after year like it's it's kind of messed up.

(42:29):
What's happening to Anthony Davis? That's the vibe I'm getting.
So to wrap it up all the things that made
you go from Week thirteen of the NFL and sports
in general, Austin Regis should be playing in Sketchers bro
Austin they are, and Sketchers hitting threes. It just fits. Yeah,
what's up? I was Sayinguel, I am a Sketcher's purchaser.

(42:49):
I'm a Sketchers buyer. But the biggest three. They need
to rebrand because of me. People like me by the
eye buy him because they're really you're the guy that'
say at the beginning of the show, Jack White's up peculiar,
Like no, Sam also walks to work and so he's
a you know, traveling man.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
I think sketchers are just really affordable, like they always
have like a by one get one half off deal,
So like it's a cheaper kind of shoe. If you're
trying to look at the economical side of.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Things, Yeah, I'd say not cheaper is a bad word.
Maybe inexpensive economic less expensive quality. Why they nurses were
absolutely and they're comfortable. So it's a matter of that
right person changing the image. I don't know if embads
the guy, but he debuted his And who comes to mind, dude,

(43:36):
not an immediately automatic person, that's for sure. There's not
like one young cool guy that comes to mind for
me and says to me, yeah, that's the guy. I
got two more quick NFL questions that we're going to
get deeper into some stuff. Will play game. We'll have
some deeper ins and stuff, meaning like just talk more
about specific teams. When I say AFC self and we

(44:00):
just talked about how the Cults are struggling. Yeah, not
even you're saying they're sort of done when you look
at the rest of their schedule. They just lost two
in a row, close games that it's like, oh man,
and you see the Jags, who you know, they didn't
play a tough opponent, but they they did win over
the Titans twenty five to three, just an easy local

(44:21):
game they cruised through. And you see the Texans looking sharp.
Who's the team that emerges from that division? Danny g
you high on that Texans defense? And do you think
Trevor Lawrence who looked, you know, he looked happy after
yesterday's game, saying like, Yo, we're not done. We're just
starting to peak now.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Like, yeah, that Texans defense is fun to watch. But
I gotta think that Daniel Jones can get enough things
good health here towards the end of the season to
at least make a push into the wild card.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
I love how they all play each other over the
next weeks. It's gonna be fantastic football. And one of
the thought that I think, because of their strength of
schedule is sort of weak sauce for the most part,
considering they are over five hundred. You guys think it's
crazy to not count out the Dallas Cowboys. No, And

(45:10):
you know that's just from what I see and from
what I hear, and people are really high on the Cowboys.
Is even high on the Cowboys. That says little something.
The Cowboys are a game. They're game and a half
behind the Eagles. And as of right now, the Cowboys
they play the Vikings. They're six and five the Commanders

(45:30):
than the Giants. They when you say they're more on
a higher trajectory than the Eagles. Eagles are eight and
four in first place the NFC East. But the Cowboys
have been at least playing upward where the Eagles have
been playing downward. I just wish they played against each
other one more time, even though the Cowboys did take
the last one. I'm just saying the Eagles, Eagles have
to play the Bills, they play the Commanders twice, so

(45:53):
maybe the Washington could help out the Cowboys and one
of those. But I'm just saying, like, don't I wouldn't
out out the Cowboys. I really wanted that would be
a wild story and we've been saying it. Man, I
wouldn't really count anybody is anyone season right now. So
as Timmy Nobriks would say, get this, get this as
anybody shot. If the Chargers who play the Eagles on

(46:16):
Monday Night, the eighth, if the Chargers beat the Eagles
and the Cowboys beat the Lions, they're a half a
game apart with like five games to go.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
dB, this is not over, No, And I think a
lot of people just looked at the wild car. But
the division is definitely now in hand, and that is
such a huge game for the Eagles. Could be weighing
on the hand of Justin Herbert on what the outcome is,
but yeah, it's it's really like there's there's multiple ways
for the Cowboys to maybe make this postseason, and they

(46:51):
could They could do a double in almost kind of
knocking out the Lions in a way if they beat
them on Thursday, and then you kind of move up
the ranks in that way the wild Card, you'd be
able to pass Detroit and then still be in position
for the division.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Interestingly enough, we you now when that tie happened with
the Packers and Cowboys, and we said, oh, this is
gonna like it's it's always plays a role that tie
always is you know, it's funny in the standings always
keeps saying it keeps things like so lops, like so uneven.
Do you remember that last play of that tie game.
I know I'm asking you to remember a play, but

(47:26):
Jordan Love throws a ball through the back of the
end zone and it was ill advised and they gave
the Packers all this one second on the clock, and
everyone that was watching was like, ooh, that's close. It
felt like the clock very well could have run out
and the Packers were out of luck if they didn't
give the Packers that one second to kick a field
goal and type the game. Cowboys, we be seven and

(47:49):
five right now, they're one second away of a of
a reference call to give them one second where you
know what I'm saying. So I'm just saying seven and
five is a lot different than six, five and one
at this stage of the game.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
We all hate ties, we do like we can't stand them.
But in like the case for Green Bay in that instance,
better than a loss, and for the Cowboys better than
a loss.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
That's true, true, But hey, it's it's gonna that tie
is gonna really mess with you. Hey, speaking of weird calls,
and we wrap up things that made you go, hm,
anyone see that extra point where it was the Texans game.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Watching the announcers were like, miss but dude, when you
were watching it from the naked eye, didn't you automatically
say that naked eye?

Speaker 1 (48:36):
So who is that who sings naked eye luscious Jackson style?
From the naked eye? Everybody saw that it was no
good they called it good, So that was kind of interesting. Ivy.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
I'm glad you brought that up because it's actually been
a thought of mine.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Because of this problem. You can't make uprights go all
the way to the top of the stadium, right, It's
just it's not feasible.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Yeah, why not have lasers like laser lights shooting through Yeah, Okay,
if you kicked it that high, sure it's not going
to ricochet off. But the whole point is if it
goes over the point of the bar, it's good.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Right you would see it pass through the lasers or
touch the laser seriously, yes, and you don't have to
have them illuminated the whole time. Remember, on the the
only said fortunate unfortunate thing I could think of was
after nine to eleven, they had those huge as lasers
going to the sky where the twin towers were. You
could just have two illuminating. That's it. Yes, solves that issue. Yeah,

(49:34):
but I made me go, hmm, like we all saw it,
How did they keep that good? It was so weak?
How many times have you seen a promo for a
club somewhere and they got you know, huge as lights
in the sky, light the beam and Sacramento and they
get a win. Right, Yes, write it up and get
it right, because what if that was a what if
that was a field goal and you know it was

(49:55):
an integral part of the game. You're like, that is
to have sharks with freaking laser fix the NFL because
I made me go any other thoughts you could share
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, and we're
gonna get ready for Last One Standing, the game that's
sweeping the nation. And there was an argument. I don't
know if you saw this, there's an argument between Clippers announcers.

(50:18):
It was sort of ingest and fun, but not really
as a broadcaster, I do believe that they were agitated
with one another, and we got to like break it
down and play it out and see how you feel
about it too. You want to do this. There's lots
to get to. Yes, right, you want to want to
play now? I want to hear these two guys. Yeah.

(50:39):
So this is Brian Seeman and Jim Jackson calling the
Clippers game, and the story is basically about how one
of the announcers sort of what's the.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Word he said? He said, ambush, ambush? How you ambushed
me with that triviu.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
He pushed him with a like a pop quiz at nowhere.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
Brian, Yeah, Brian Semen didn't appreciate the fact he didn't
have time to reach.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
They got into a little bit of an argument about
it on TV. Let me let me you know, I
purposefully did not listen to this because I wanted to.
I wanted to get my fresh reaction because I've been
working with this guy and you guys for a while.
So when it comes to being ambushed on the air,
or when there's disagreements and you could tell you know,
this is real versus like you know they having phone
this or are they genuinely mad. We've we've said this

(51:27):
a couple of times. Let's take a lesson.

Speaker 7 (51:30):
So I go back to that trivia question you swung
on me, ambushed is a better orders?

Speaker 1 (51:35):
The Trios is the NBA. I didn't have Bush.

Speaker 10 (51:39):
What was it ambushed?

Speaker 1 (51:40):
So the whole promise of the question was way off.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
No, it was not.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Perfe.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
I'm not telling you.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
You tell me exactly what I asked family members and
say what was the first?

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I did say that?

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Last I didn't say go ahead? Didn't even.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Because I'll tell you where it's all? Okay?

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Would it be? Mister events? That was the big thing.
You don't get it, nice, I do get it.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Why you could go one of two ways? Boxing had
a main event. Also, a little thing called the w
w F had a main event.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
No, he's from Maine. See that's what I'm saying. Now
you want to twist my word. No, so give me
the question. I'm not what I think you could cut it. Sam.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Let me let me tell you Rich. This went on
for most of the third quarter, these two bickering guys
with each other, and all the comments.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
One guy felt shown up by the other. And that's
what happens when you have two separate egos here on
one broadcast.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Here's the problem, though, Cavino. You guys do an opinion
based show together and you can have a full segment
where you're disagreeing. These are play by play in color, dudes,
they're supposed to be caught. They're supposed to be commentating
on the action on the floor. Do something completely different, Yes,
and that's why the internet went crazy, Like Cooper Flag
posterized Zubat from the Clippers and they didn't even acknowledge it.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah, so how do you feel about that? Because I'm
one of those guys that Luckily Rich and I've been
working together for over twenty years, so he's like working
with an annoying brother and vice versa, right, so there's
no ego there and I'm never offended. But Rich is
the type of guy that ambushes people with trivia where
it makes him look smart, but it only because he

(53:31):
knows the answer or he just saw the answer or
heard it the day before. Now he's posing it to
make you, to put you on a spot. It look
like an idiot pulld up. I would never do that
every day, would never hit you up with something I
know you didn't know every day. You do that every day.
But luckily I don't care because I'm like and most
of the time, you know, I say, dude, just tell

(53:53):
me I say that all the time. Just tell me,
because you know, hold on because you're setting me up.
Either I know or I'm gonna say something that just
makes me look No, I'm never gonna what It makes
you look smart because you just read the answer two
minutes ago. No, no, No. Trivia is different than your sports.
Know how Like if I said, hey, com you know

(54:13):
there's five guys that have hit you know, went thirty
thirty in baseball the last couple Yeo, can you think
of it? And if I feel like you're like, dude,
I can't think right now, I'll be like, all right,
let me tell you. No, there once a show. I say,
at least once a show, dude, just tell me, dude,
just say it because I could be right, but I
could say something that makes me look like a toll

(54:34):
idiot for what for to make rich look great? Disagree
because I think you disagree because you're so unaware. See
now we're fighting about it. He does it every show.
He'll throw a random quiz out there. I'm like, oh, geez,
I wish I would have been able to prepare something.
You know, And that's fine, and that's fun because I
know you If there's two broadcasters that don't know each
other that well, or they're just work acquaintances. It comes

(54:58):
across as you're showing up that person. And that's why
duos and trios never really work in broadcasting, because someone's
toes are getting stepped on, someone's egos bruised, someone doesn't
like how they feel in that moment. What are you
trying to show me up? Bro? That's why these things
don't pan out. I don't care when you do it.
Whatever you know, I'm used to it. I'll take it

(55:19):
per se. And there are times which you're questioning their
their I think giving giving someone a trivia question is
way different than throwing someone a question that if they
don't know the answer, they look exposed. Way different if
I'm like, well, I felt exposed. If I say who's
got the most triple doubles this year? You get a guess.

(55:40):
You might guess right or wrong. That's not exposed to you.
But if I said, how that yet, it does because
it's weak because the only reason you know is because
you just looked it up, because you saw it. So
it's a sneaky way of looking like you knew this
when you just heard it, probably a minute before. But
now you're posing it as if you always knew and
that other guy doesn't. But I no, that's a big difference.
That's how that guy felt. That's why they fought, he said,

(56:02):
that's why he used the word ambushed. You ambushed me
because there are two regular dudes who are working together
trying to do a fun broadcast. And Danny G's right,
that's not even their job at that job at that
point is to be talking about the.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
Why why are they even talking about trivia questions? If
I tune in to see the Clippers on TV, I
just want to see the action on the floor. I'm
not trying to hear about trivia question, I know, but
I'm just saying to fill time too. There's a lot
of there's a lot of in between talk, but there's
not not an NBA game that's up and down the floor.
You say, like maybe some.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Other sports take that much time.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Though, It's like yo, man, people are tuning in to
hear about what's going on.

Speaker 5 (56:37):
I'm going to just quick another dynamic with this. Brian
Seemens usually the guy giving the questions. Okay, he's usually
the one, he's the lead. Yes, he's the host. He's
the one that you know, Jim Jackson is the player,
the guy who's going to tell you about the game.
But the guy who knows the information is Brian. So
all of a sudden, Brian doesn't know the information. Brian

(56:59):
gets a little hard.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Yes, that's the reversal of it is Brian's supposed to
know everything. Yeah, And I only know this from experience
of like yes, of like doing a show Carrie Rhodes,
who knows you know, played the game for eight years,
knows so much about football, and Kerry's never ambushed me
on the show. But like there's like I need to
keep up my end of the bargain, like of it.

(57:22):
And if I don't know my own territory, man, I'm
telling you.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Know, Rich, how many times have we seen duos in
radio or broadcasting fall apart because they felt like they
were trying to be one upping each other all the
time or they were exposing each other with these sort
of agree I agree with the dynamic, right, Like as
a Mets fan, you have your play by play guy
and then you're your athletes for the color commentary. You know,

(57:46):
if Gary Cohen drops a fun fact, you know, the
players like Keith and Ron aren't expected to know. They're like, oh,
that's something else Gary. They're not asking Gary Cohen trivia
because in your mind you're assuming he knows, right. So
what if you have that's Ron Darling being boozled Gary
Cohen with like and dary co Manama. It makes him
lose credibility to the viewer. So now he's scammering like man,

(58:09):
that was sort of messed up. So your thoughts okay,
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, and we're gonna
play Last one Standing actual trivia. Oh, we're gonna do
that next for some prizes. Right here on the Cavino
en Rich Show Gram program. It's time for the game
that stresses us all out. But it's a great game.

(58:31):
It's called Less one Standing.

Speaker 9 (58:33):
You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia
live mant it. Put your electronic devices down and pick
your sports knowledge.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Oh cnrs Last one standing, Last one standing?

Speaker 4 (58:53):
All right, I have four categories ready to go if
needed a tiebreaker, Each contestant gets five seconds to stay
alive in the round. If you run out of time
or answer incorrectly, Iowa Sam takes you out with his
big bad buzzy Oh don't want to hear them. We
keep battling until you are the last one standing. If
you win two of the rounds, you are the top dog.
Here are the contestants. Eleven time winner Steve Cavino right

(59:13):
over there next to him, momentum on his side the
last two weeks. Seventeen time winner Rich Davis.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Wow, yeah, he's streaking the past, like yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Yeah one of those weeks.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
DV wasn't here, thirty six time winner Leader in the
Clubhouse dB. Hello, all right, let's go to the studio
lines to see who's playing for a CNR prize.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
First one through was Mike in Peoria, Illinois. Hey Mike,
what up? Mikey?

Speaker 10 (59:39):
Hey, good afternoon guys.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
What's up man, Mike? What do you do for living
there in Illinois?

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Well, I'm I'm retired now, so I uh pretty much
go to church a lot.

Speaker 10 (59:48):
And I pray for forgiveness from Joe Girardi for making
the laugh out of his high school baseball career.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
Great, it's a lot of information trivia right all right.
By the way, spot is the fact during this game
I hated so much. He has a lot of anxiety,
so be patient with him as he checks, answers Gray
to God about that. All right, clock's gonna start when
I say your name. The first category is take two.
You have five seconds to name one of the thirteen
NFL teams who lead the league with the most two
point conversions made this season. All right, ten teams tied

(01:00:19):
with two. Two's team at the top has five. Yeah, two,
All right, Covino, you're gonna be a first starting right now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Go Dan Campbell's a risk taker. I'll go Lions here.
Lions are not on the list. All right, well, process,
sorry about that, Rich, I mean, I'll go very similar
to Cavino, Little Tushy Pushy the Eagles.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
The Eagles are not on the list, Man Buyer, Andy
Reid loves going for two, right with all those trick plays.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Chiefs. The Chiefs are on the list too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Buyer saved the category. All right, Mike, I'm going with Broncos.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Broncos are on the list with four.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):

Bears bearssnum bearss not on the list on the list,
d G what bills bills bills not on.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
The list would have been my second guest Josh Allen.
My second guess, Josh Allen at Boring at number one
with five would be the Jets. By the way, juicy,
Josh Allen became the what it was a seventy six
rushing touchdown or something like that, the most ever leader,
So that that would have been my thought process that
maybe he just ran a few.

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
But some of the other teams you missed Niner all
he's had two Niners, Bengals, Colts, Commanders, dang Dolphins, Falcons, Packers, Patriots.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Zero, Vikings. I hate tough on. I tell you I
hate categories like that because it takes no skill. But
I will say this though, last night, last night, Washington
could have had one more if not for Marcus Mariota.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
All Right, buyers, wide open, Yes, buyer on the board.
We go to the second category, Priceless Possessions. You have
five seconds to name an NBA player who leads all
time in most career turnovers. A lot of stars on
this list too. NBA player who leads all time in

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Hang on, let me get it up. You said some
big names. Let's hear some of those big names. I
wanna hold on. I was thinking longevity.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Was a big list.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Yeah, all right, Mike there in Illinois. We thank you
for playing the game.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Appreciate you, Thank you, buddy, Thanks for having me guys
every Monday. Thanks Mike, you can play again or play tomorrow.
We're gonna do Showtime Homes Trivia tomorrow. Danny yes, so
showboy Mahomes will be here asking some multiple choice trivia
if you want another chance to win. Always giving away
prizes on the Cavino and Rich show, Can I give

(01:05:10):
everyone a homework as simon. I know no one likes
school and homework from back in the day, but it's
a fun one. Sure, no thanks, I didn't ask you
spot all right, you said, everyone, I'm here, I'm here.
ESPN has that playoff simulator on their website. Cavino knows
you guys know that I love looking at the schedule

(01:05:31):
geek for this the iguscated both both Rich and I
ended up with the rams as a first seat, obviously,
but mine's a little different than Cavinos. If you go,
Danny g Is called the NFL playoff Machine, the NFL
playoff Machine. I'll give ESPN website props. Look, just google
ESPN playoff machine. It pops right up. You could start
with week fourteen, Danny to you know, just click that

(01:05:53):
the Patriots win tonight. I mean, I know it's not
a given, but right it takes like four minutes. It
took Cavino that commercial break. I said, weeks fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
seventy and eighteen. It's five weeks, but just zip through
the schedule and without thinking too much, just be like
click click click, click click, and then by the end
of it, it'll show you what your playoff pitcher looks like,
and ours is different. Cavino has the Canno has the

(01:06:16):
Packers missing the playoffs, and you know, I have the
Colts and the Chargers missing the playoffs. Like, it's really
interesting to see where you think things will go in
the next five weeks because listen, we've had enough time now,
we've had thirteen weeks of football. The Colt's not making
the playoffs. Yeah, you have the Cults missing too, Yeah
m hm. So my first seed, I'm the Patriots. Mine

(01:06:41):
is the Broncos and the Rams. Okay, I have the
Pats as the number one seed and I have the
Chiefs sneaking in at ten and seven as a seventh seed.
It is kind of cool, though, I'll back rich up
on it, and it takes you know, just a shit yeahnutes,
what you thinsed on your guesses like you have Caroline
kind of I have Tampa right, yeah, yeah, so that's

(01:07:03):
it's it's different. We both have somehow though I'm not saying,
I'm all of a sudden anti Eagles, Danny g but
it's very easy to find a path for the Cowboys
if they play the way we think they're capable playing,
and they're Cowboys, and you see the Eagles sort of
I got your forty nine ers playing the Cowboys in
the first round. Yeah, look, so hey, it's kind it

(01:07:26):
is kind of cool. I don't normally like to schedule
watch or go that far ahead like Rich does, but
it is kind of cool to see. I just want
to see where your heads shot it and see how
close you are when we get there, because we'll be
there before you know it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
Rich, any feeling on tonight's game? You think Jackson Dart's
return is going to give the Giants any juice?

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Listen?

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Will they cover?

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
I don't know what is?

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
What is even the points? But this is one of
those games I already told you just a second ago.
I've already like looked past it. So let me let
me not do that. Let me was it ten? And
what's tonight's point spread? Ten?

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
No juice? I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:08:00):
And I.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Patriots went easy. It's New England by seven and a half.
I think they cover. It's in New England. I mean,
historically giants have really broken a lot of hearts in
New England. But this ain't the Tom Brady Eli Maning era.
You know like this, I think New England cruises. They'll
be a halftime. You might want to catch up on
stranger things. Yeah, there'll be eleven and two and then
I think next week, y'all. Each week I feel like

(01:08:25):
we're we sad, like the host of The Bachelor, Most intense,
greatest week ever. Do you see some of the matchups
Dan e g For next week?

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Dude, Bears, I can't wait for that one.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Nice, Oh my god, Packers Bears. Then even like a
Monday night Eagles out here in La versus Chargers. So
many telling games, Chiefs and Texans. So we'll get to
all that this week. Have a great night a ribadirci baby,
see you in the promise,
