phones at eighty seven seven ninety nine on Fox. If
you want to chime in, Iowa Sam Sam. We car
polled with Sam yesterday. Yes, I was very much appreciate
that Rich, really great guy.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Car got Sam got carsick?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah I did. I got jorin Sam.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
You really are who what man in his late thirties
early forties is used to riding in the backseat of
a car.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
You get sick. I don't know, we're just dry hand.
It's like pull over, I'm gonna spew. That was weird
parking on Like, just let me out. I'm sick. And
by the way, this is before any cocktails. You know,
it wasn't like it wasn't like I was Sam's dead
driver R. It's on the way there.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
I stand with Iowa, Sam, I'm with you back seat
No good.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Sam and Spots. So I'm guessing you guys are not
roller coaster types. No, that's different.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Oh well I don't. I love roller coasters. I just
think being in the backseat of car makes you. Yeah,
it's very different. Yeah, it's it's a less controlled situation. Well,
a bunch of whenies. But it's always great to see
Spot on the videos. And of course the great Damn
Bayer Dan Byer, great hair, great guy, and just great
at what he does, even though he can't sit in
the back seat.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Great job. He doesn't want to show us up because
he's got the coff of a lifetime. So guys, we
have lots to get to today between where we do.
By the cowboys or do they still have a shot
now they don't have a shot, But I don't know
if we were, I mean they still have a shot
they win them all, Yeah, but I mean like a

(02:53):
less than ten percent shot, But they have a shot.
It's just no, they're at eight percent. I believe if
they win them all, it's it's like almost fifty percent
or something like that, if they win every game moving forward,
that's a big if. Well, you just had you Now
you're saying if a team wins every game, they have
left the night after they got rocked. Yeah, but I
do like Dak Prescott's fortitude, his ambition, everything he says

(03:16):
afterward about you know, we're just pissed off. Now now
they're playing with a little edge. I mean, anything's possible,
but yeah, highly doubtful. I agree the Lions stepped up.
So I hope you had a Lions sort of night.
Did you change your mind on anything though the Lions?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Rich? Didn't you proclaim that the Lions were done though?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah? I mean I picked the Lions over here, you did?
I don't think I'm I'll be truthful. What did Dan
Campbell say in the locker room?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
He so, I wasn't there. I was well after the
company holiday party went to that he went to the
locker room. I went and hung out with Dan Campbell. No,
I went and saw the highlights and everything, and you know,
we were watching at the bar, watching the game, and
he said, you know, we should be proud of this victory.
That it's a hell of a team. Man. They were
playing really good, really good football play with a lot

(04:04):
of momentum, and it's.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
How we thought they were gonna play on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
The Lions stepped up. But then again, I don't think
the Lions have lost back to back games in years,
So shame on us for thinking otherwise. They proved to
be the better team, and I'm on Ross. Saint Brown
stepped up, and Dan Campbell gave him the ultimate compliment, said,
he epitomizes. He's the epitome of what the Lions are

(04:31):
all about, all heart, discipline and kick assery. And that's
what we saw from them yesterday beating a hot team
in the Dallas Cowboys, and of course the big Lebron story.
So there's a lot to get to. Man, get back
to me next week after they have to come out
here and play the Rams, because that'll be that'll be
yet another amazing test. And you know, when we're done

(04:52):
sweating all the games this week, like, man, this is amazing.
Next week you're gonna go see if the Lions, who
are eight and five, You're gonna be like, wow, they
are they ready to play the Rams out here in
LA Because then if they beat the Rams and you're
like Oh wow, the Lions are right there in the mix.
But then if they lose, Yeah, they're eight and six
and they're fighting, Bro, they're fighting. So no, I know, Hey,

(05:13):
but they stepped up when they had to yesterday, and
I was riding high on the Cowboys. I was believing
the hype and your thoughts at eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox Fun Thursday night football game. And that
leads us to all the kick ass games this weekend,
feeling like playoff caliber type of games. And 're just

(05:33):
gonna pick his big TV games at a week so
very diff a round for that, very difficult this week
because there's so many games of importance now, listen, we
can move past it already. I don't think there's, you know,
a deeper conversation than hey, I don't know if the
Cowboys tricked us, but they were hot, and the Lions
are a good team and they decided to play to
their potential last night. I'm around say Brown, like you said,

(05:56):
epitomized what Lions football, what their fans wanted to and
that's who he is and Finn kid, and he stepped
up even hurt and played a pretty big game for
a guy. We weren't sure it was gonna play.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Did you get I'm sorry, Rich, I was gonna say.
I think what tricked us a little bit is it
seemed like the old Cowboys defense before they got Quinn Williams.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, and you know what it felt like to me.
We watched the first half casually were at the bar.
He got home. For the second half, I felt like
any time the Cowboys were in striking distance, the Lions like, Yeah,
that's cool, We're gonna score another touchdown. So you're you're
playing from behind, you put together a drive and then
the Lions would have like four or five played drive

(06:37):
touchdowns and it's like, wow, hey that went back. We're
down double digits again. And I'm not saying if there
was another quarter to play, but it just felt like
the Cowboys were playing catch up and they just could
never quite do it right. Yeah, you're down by seven,
all right? Sweet? And there was close for that one
second thirty seven thirty I believe it was, and then
Cowboys pulled away.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
There were also, I mean, Dallas said turnovers. They neither
team hunted in the second half of this game, and
I think it just looking at the game, there were
two punts in the first quarter and then one on
the second quarter, and that was it, Dallas turning it
over three times. And there was also an awful call
that went against Dallas interference.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, that was That was a rough one and I
saw that. But Dan byer every week to sort of
get a gauge of all the games, the ones. Even
I don't watch that closely. I always look at the
team stats that they always put out, and much like
my baseball coach in college said, most of the time,
the team that makes the most errors will lose, like
ninety percent of the time if some team turns the

(07:36):
ball over three times and the other team doesn't. Even
in the NFL, the team that turns the ball over
is gonna lose.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Even in this game turning it over once and there
was a late interception that really didn't matter for Dallas,
but the two that they had and then the bad
penalty when you're already kind of working at a deficit
because you're the underdog in the game, like the Lion's
just you're right, the line's going to be stopped. But
I felt that there was the opportunity for Dallas to
match them and to answer them and be able to
and then you know the Cavino's point. They came back

(08:02):
and they made it a touchdown game, but just in
the end they couldn't overcome their own mistakes or even
that call by the by the official.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I feel like, uh, it's when when when the other
team is unstoppable, Like Cavino, you two weeks ago when
we were in our guys strip you at cornhole. Oh Jesus,
she would have saw this guy. He would have beat
anyone in a tailgate parking lot. Wasn't every time you
were catching up to Cavino? He had this smooth little dude.
Did you just stop talking to everybody then as well?

(08:30):
Were people just leaving you alone because you were in
that corn hole zone? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean and
he was thinking it not fun? Like I was like,
what is this guy a cornhole champion? He had the
day of his life. But yeah, there are times where
like you could be playing well but you just can't
catch up. And you see that in baseball. Sometimes it's
a bummer. Your team's down five runs, you have a
great inning, you you tie it, and then you're your

(08:51):
bull thing gives up two runs and you're like, now
we're done. Too. Again, So you know last night there
were opportunities, but the Cowboys just could not quite stop
what Detroit was doing. And if you can't stop them,
how are you gonna get the ball back? And tied up?
It was a double digit chase for the whole second half.
So obviously the Lions win, But if you were at

(09:12):
a company party, maybe it missed it forty four to thirty,
but it was closer at one point over the Cowboys.
Do you feel duped or are the Cowboys who you
thought they were? And are you laughing at anyone that
believed otherwise? Because they were playing pretty strong up until yes,
or even though they didn't play that bad, Like dB said,
I have a more bad few turnovers. And then of

(09:35):
course there was some really excellent NBA last night. Oh
we're gonna get to that. But I have a more
of a social question about last night's holiday party. Sure,
so I So, first of all, it's nice to say
everyone I had a problem with him, like taking the
food away while we were still picking at it. Oh yeah,
there was a lot of food. Least if I were

(09:55):
our boss who and iHeart and Premiere and everyone that
put this party together. I think I would have been
a little bummed by them, like being like all right,
skidattle now they had like another party coming in, so
we had all go out on the porch. Yeah, Like,
let's just say our party ended at five thirty or six.
There were some pretty much had to stop watch and
they're like they were like sweeping us out, Like who

(10:16):
was the name of a guy on showtime at the
Apollogy honestly name Sandman. Let's say, hey, yeah, you're sweeping
a sound like the Sandman was like, Yo, let's just
say we're chilling. Let's just say they're like, oh, the
iHeart buffet is open till six. At five point fifty
nine and fifty eight seconds, they were like pulling a
French cry out of Covino's hands. I was enough, Sirry,
you've had enough. Been moving along. But it was really
fun to see everyone. We have a really great team

(10:38):
at iHeart and sports Radio. It's awkward when some of
your colleagues been trying to talk to you, but your
stuff in your face with sliders and buffalo wings, because
you're just trying to really cash in on the free grindage,
the free grub, and people are talking like uh, huh yeah, yeah,
you do you do sales for our show? Yeah, I

(10:59):
want to pip away. It's like, let me eat first,
let me scoff is this ScOTF for scarf? That's a demandself.
Let me scoff this down.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Scarf and let me scott. If you're from the East Coats,
it's scaff this down.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Me scaffed this down, and then we could chat a
little bit about the holidays.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
It's weird eating in front of someone you've only met
a few times.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
You ever met.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
The booze and schmooz was strong. It was weird when
Sam's like, you take this end of the spaghetti, I'll
take the other end, and then no, I did have
one observation that we'll get to the NBA and a
bunch of other fun stuff. This is a weak move
because I listen, I'm not a twenty year old kid. Well,
that's even illegal. I'm not a twenty one year old
kid trying to get trashed. Now I was gonnay twenty

(11:40):
year old kid drinking, but that's illegal, so it's a
bad example. I'm not a twenty one year old kid
trying to get trashed. I'm not out like hey, I me.
My buddies are getting ripped to playing Hey mister, yeah,
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not in that world. I'm like, God,
I'm a guy in his forties. I'm a dad. I'm
having like one cocktail and I'm you know, moving along.
You're not playing beer and having some brew hahas. So

(12:02):
some teddy Bruce Ki's I had. I had to. It
was it was gross because I had everyone try my drink.
So if one of us is sick, we're all sick now.
But Danny and I was saying, did they not give
me straight vodka?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
That was like rubbing alcohol, but it killed everything in
your mouth anyway, if.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
They give you and it didn't seem like I said
Tito's in my mind, I'm like, this isn't Titos. You
can't tell the differences all vodcast. It was like rubbing
alcohol vodka, but there was no soda or sprite or whatever.
Is it a weak move for a grown man's back.
This drink is too strong. I didn't know what to

(12:44):
I am because they're acting like they're a favorite. I said, hey,
I went to the bartender. I'm like, hey, man, I
don't want to look like a wooz or anything. But
can you give me like a glass of club soda
or something to water this down?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Like, honestly, that's the move. You just ask for something
on the.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Side, because I feel like, uh, if you're a bartender's
just a message to people that bartend they're working restaurants.
You're doing the twenty year old twenty one year old
kid of favor by giving them a hefty poor I
think anyone of grown man or woman age rather a
tasty cocktail than a loaded cocktail. Say that though, but
some of the adults there are pretty tipsy on a

(13:20):
random Thursday night, and that's the truth. So some people
want to cash in on that too, like, oh, man,
free moves, let's go, that's my Christmas bonus. Yeah, I
got to tell you. We got there after the show,
so people were feeling pretty nice.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
I could tell no.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
And that's always a fun thing too, when someone's already
a couple drinks in and you just get there you're like, oh,
yeah's conversations lopsock. We had to catch up. To put
it kindly, well, hey, hopefully you're enjoying your company parties,
your work events, all that good stuff as Christmas is here.
Can I say on our bonus podcast over promised, we
do talk about the company holiday party, rule, the dues

(14:00):
and don'ts of the company holiday party. So can I
give everyone one here just a little teas to watch
the podcast and that's on our YouTube page, Covino and
Rich FSR. If you want to watch it. It's sort
of a must watch before you go out. Some great
reminders to share with people. I'll give you a really
good one. I think it's okay to get a little
buzz at the company part party.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Fun.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
But you know what, you gotta be not the drunkest,
because there's gonna be one person who's the talk of
the office. Like God, you see Doug or John or
Frank or hey, you know afraid you know Johnny had
one too many, see what he was doing. There's always
gonna be one guy that drinks too much and thrills

(14:40):
a chair. Don't be no, he wasn't drunk. I heard
him talking about it. Don't be that you named someone
who actually is named Doug who works here. Let's he's
just got leave in the press. I uh, I'm telling
you you're listening to that. He's a fabio. He's just
one name celebrity nowadays.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Sam was amazed that when Dug through the chair that
they just referred to him as Gottlieb on a website
like like Share Madonna, Gottlieb.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's how I think of those That's what I think
of him. Yes, he's no longer Doug. I like the aggressiveness,
by the way. Yeah, I mean, passion is a good thing.
Home on that's believing.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Thro I would thrown two chairs.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
But you never want to be the most drunk Tom, Dick,
Harry or Doug. Never want to be a druggist person
at the party. And more of that on over promised
our bonus pod. So Rich, let's set this up and
let's get the phone calls going about Lebron too, Okay,
because it was a big game for the Lakers last night.

(15:43):
They won on a buzzer beater, Hachi Mora with the
three point buzzer beater. Lots of excitement. Dude, I had
a double take. I didn't have my glasses on. I'm like,
is that Lebron jumping up and down like a little
school boy? Like I really couldn't tell, And I'm like,
oh my god, it was. It was really cool. To see.
It was really cool to see how much he still cares,

(16:04):
how much it still means to him. I'll never question
his passion or his game in that way, but we
did question the streak. We did, and I'm doubling down
on everything I said leading up to it. Interestingly enough,
before that game last night, we had posted a clip
on social media from our show the day before and

(16:26):
we had debated Wednesday show, we had debated Lebron James
and how in some of that garbage time at the
end of a loss to the Suns, Lebron was out
there and it was clear it was to keep the
double digit streak alive. It felt that way, and my
take was during garbage time, you know what, it's garbage time.
I have no problem with Lebron keeping that streak. And

(16:47):
then Cavino said, well, it just leans into his Mebron
selfish and given haters ammunition. People need to understand too,
I'm not coming from a hateful place, not hating, just
stating if people could see that he's not playing def
and he's only there to score to ten points, it's
going to give ammunition to those people that want to
talk about Lebron James and my point was, dude, let

(17:09):
it go. Let's focus on wins and let it go.
It takes a lot of pressure off, a lot of
relief off this streak. And you know what, with Lebron's legacy,
While it is a cool streak, I don't think it's
I don't think it's going to change the way any
of us think of him if that ends or begins
or And that's why I said, like, just let it go,
because then they could focus on other things like Lebron

(17:31):
dishing off and letting these other dudes shine, because that's
the chemistry that's working for the team right now. And
that's exactly what happened the very next day, and within
twenty four hours of us doing this in plus in
the clip, Lebron scores eight and instead of going for
the game winning shot on his own to get to
double digits, he dishes it off for the assist. And

(17:54):
by the way, I was premeditated too, because according to Hachimur,
he said that before the play, like it's going to you.
So it was so cool to see how it played out.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, Lebron knew Austin Reeves would get doubled.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, Yeah, it was so cool that he had the
foresight to do that and it all panned out that
he hit the shot, and what a perfect way to
end that streak. But there's so many levels to this
conversation that we got to open it up and go
deeper to what level one? If he takes the shot,
he's selfish, right, right? Yeah, if he makes it awesome,

(18:26):
but oh it's me Bron. If he dishes it off
and got you more misses, Lebron's scared to take the
last shot. You know, big game players take the show,
watersn't take the shot. So it's almost like Lebron's in
a no win or.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
He's selfish going to continue trying to continue his.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Right, Yeah, either way, So he's either selfish because he
takes the shot and he's me Bron, or he dishes
it off and you know he's not a big game
player because he doesn't want to take the last shot.
So either way, it feels like he has Lebron and
to no win. And you know what, I'm not buying, though, Rich,
I'm not buying because after the game, obviously they talked
about it and yeah, what does it mean to you?

(19:03):
It means nothing because we got the win. And I
believe that the win meant a lot. We saw his celebration.
It was a perfect way to end the streak. But
don't tell me after two thousand and seven and ninety
seven games with ten points or more it doesn't mean anything.
Absolutely means something. But I think it was a perfect
time to let it go, in a perfect way to

(19:25):
let it go. dB, you got some thoughts on this,
because we're gonna open it up to some phone calls.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
I think Lebron was so excited that they won on
his pass without Luka Doncic's playing. Oh, that's why I
think he was so excited. They won a game against
a good Toronto team, one of the better teams of
the East so far this season, doing it where he
was a part of the play and Luka Doncic, everybody's
new favorite, was not there to save.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
The day for the Lakers. That's how I read it.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's why I love chopping it up with you guys. Honestly,
didn't even cross my mind. And I think that's such
a great point. Yeah, I love that. I love when
as a new angle that because he was like really excited, Yes,
you're right, you should be. I'm like damn man, that's
kind of crazy. So your thoughts. And then there's of
course the thought of we were just talking about this
on Wednesday. We posted a clip about it yesterday, and

(20:17):
then there's a lot of feedback of like, your clip
aged poorly, and I get that sentiment. I understand I'm
going to get that feedback, but did it really We
pointed it out and it ended the very next day.
You know, it's so funny. I asked my wife, because
my wife is quick to be like, yeah, you're wrong,
I go, babe, watch this clip. And then I explained

(20:38):
to her what happened with Lebron last night, and she's like,
how did that age wrong at all? I don't She's like,
I don't get it. You and Cavino debated what Lebron's
you know, what to take is and it just coincidentally happened.
If anything, you could argue that you guys were on
point with a good conversation. Yeah, or I don't get
she doesn't even understand how. I was like, yeah, I
don't get it either. You know, the feed will say like, yeah,

(21:01):
what do you got to say now, It's like, well,
I was never hating Ana.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I didn't think it aged. I didn't think that was
the problem that when people comment this aged poorly. I
didn't think that was the case. I just thought because
the streak ended, maybe we could update it. But yeah,
the point was, the big point we were making was
stay in the flow of the game. Remember how I
talked about when we filled in for the Dan Patrick
Show and Lebron made his debut on the season and

(21:26):
he fit in perfectly that night, remember, and we were saying,
if he could find that role that niche on the
team and just go with the flow and not force things,
this Laker team could go deep.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Like El Payeha said, this video aged poorly. I'm like,
how but other people are hit us up saying, Yo,
it's your fault, like laughing that we brought it up
and that's the day. But you knew what was gonna
happen because Lebron's role on this team, Danny, as you said,
it does seem like there's an emphasis to maybe take
a little bit of a back up. Then arthritis in

(21:58):
his foot, which is something else we got to talk about,
like some old guy injuries and things like that. So
your thoughts on Lebron's streak, It almost ended, like I said, perfectly,
what a perfect way to end it, dishing it off,
showing everybody that I'm not selfish. Luca wasn't there, Like
dB said, you know, they won because I dished it off.

(22:19):
But I think it's also like foreshadowing of what's to
come and how they're gonna win and the way they
should be playing moving forward. Lakers win one twenty three,
one twenty. But that's a streak that started when Bronni
James was just a little baby. Just at Kim our
buddy Wyman on the chat to the saying the chat
is lit today, Steban Steban R Said KD, I don't

(22:44):
know if this true goes KD is at like two
hundred and sixty seven. So for someone to match that streak,
it's a long, a long road ahead. For anyone to
match that streak of double digits, it's a pretty impressive thing.
But it was the perfect way to end it, right.
Eighteen years of ten points or more ended last night,
the day the very day after we were talking about it.

(23:04):
So it almost felt like orchestrated in a way. I'm
not trying to say Lebron intentionally scoring under ten points
to take the heat off of them. But I think
he was okay with it on that day, like all right,
it's time.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
And I think it highlights his new role on this
current team, you know what.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
And I think he accepted that last night being boozled.
I was not aware of this. There's jelly Belly's like
weakest worst flavors they have like vomit flavor, flush and
milk fish.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah. I know, there's a famous serious clip of you guys.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh yeah, can we know vomit into a trash can? Seriously?
And if you dig your hand into a tasty bag
of jelly bellies and you get that popcorn one, you're like,
one does taste like bar? Can I tell you maybe
next week?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Rich.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
That's when I was in the back of your backs
of your car. You gave me one of those popcorn
jelly bellies and then you said this, if.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
You begin, it's spew spew into this. So that's what
made me sick. It wasn't the car. How about uh,
next week for the holidays, Daddy want to do some
uh some like some trivia and if we get the
question wrong, you have to eat one of the bad
jelly beans.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's like a like a roulette. Really yeah, bean boozle,
what's that dam?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Has anybody got the Curius's thumb flavor or Cavino's ring
finger flavor for just putting your hand?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, it is a.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Communitypool brown thumb okay, thumb flavor.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Definitely touch parts of their body and then reached their
hand in there without watching their hands.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Gross. Yeah, everybody here is digging in that bang all day.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Thank god. I haven't even taken one of those.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
I hadn't had one. It's where Big Sexy Ryan put
his hand there and then he started smelling his fingers. Rich,
which one did you say you had?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
And then I had the liquorice one. Okay, well hold
that from black liquorice guy. Because Cavino and Rich are
live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, no more waiting
your goals start now, Rich write this down because you've
been eating lots of candy. Cyber Monday deals are still
going on, Cyber Friday continues. Take your workouts around the
world with Nordic track and I fit stave big on treadmills.

(25:15):
So if you're eating all the candy and all the
holiday Fixin's like, Rich, I fit Nordic Track and I
fit bikes and rowers at Nordic track dot com, Nordic
Track train anywhere, explore everybody. I need some Nordic track
in my life to go with my new supplements that
the Boss was being in fun of. I told them
I was like, I'm gonna look twenty five by next

(25:36):
month because I started taking nad Plus twenty five pounds heavier.
And he's like, my man's jellybeans. My man, you're just
gonna peeed out. That ain't gonna work. So I had
to loading up on NATS nad Plus. If you don't
know about it, look it up. I'm not promoting, I'm
just saying I feel like, by next week, Sam, I'm
gonna look twenty five years old. So get this, guys,
I hope you had a Lion's I'm gonna Ross Saint Brown,

(25:58):
Dan Campbell gops tonight, a Lebron James Lakers swore tonight.
But there's an update with Lebron.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
And I do think he ended that streak perfectly, even
though he lied about it. I think he cared about
the streak. Come on, you can't have a streak. It's
beautiful for the majority of your career since two thousand
and seven and not care. But it did end perfectly.
Now they could focus on the chemistry that works for
that team, which is exactly how it ended. Yesterday, Lakers
announced that Lebron James has been dealing with left foot

(26:29):
joint arthritis left foot joint arthritis in addition to his
right sciatica, so he's doubtful to play against the Celtics, unless,
of course, dB has an update that.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I don't know about yet. My grandma has that.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, well that's perfect funny would say that because now
we're gonna talk about old guy injuries and old guy
things like things that date you. Because Rich just had
the black liquorice and he said it was his favorite one.
I said, I must Does that mean I'm getting old?
Because I had the black liquor guy flav And I
was like, well, this is pretty good beer barrels like

(27:01):
you remember Grandpa would eat root beer barrels exactly. Maybe
I'm a sucker for a good old guy. Grandpa came
every age that Davis. Maybe I'm you know who else
loves them? Pee wee herman. He does look it up.
He puts a little strong and he puts a little
straw on them. Pee wee. You know what, I'll tell

(27:23):
you what when it comes to little things where you're like,
oh man, this feels like an old guy thing about
a year and a half ago, two years ago. What
else do you like? Rich ribbon candy, no I sassafras soda.
I came in here a couple of years ago, and
luckily I'm all good now. But I remember telling you guys.
I'm like, guys, I have plantar fasci itis. My foot
was hurting, and I'm like I need Like, uh, that's

(27:45):
not something you want to say with like hot chicks
are around, I know. I was like, I have to
put aside like nice sneakers and I'm like, guys, I
need like a really good, really good, supportive pair of sneakers.
And I was like, do I have to buy like
Brooks or so? What are they hocus Like? I remember
having a footage and I was like, oh man, is
this what happens when you're forty and Lebron is you know,

(28:05):
his injury reporter helped those nads work. His injury report
is starting to sound like ailments. Your forty something the
your old buddies have, so just you know, it's it's
amazing what he's doing when you think about the reality
of how old Lebron he has the luxury of in
Austin Reeves, who's playing like a superstar, right, hitting shots
like crazy shots off the glass that aren't even supposed

(28:27):
to go in there going in. So I think he
needs to lean into the fact that they don't need
him to play that much, and they don't need you know,
the Lebron we're used to, and he could rely on
those dudes, and I think that could work. But you're right,
it sounds like an old guy thing. And he said
it like, hey man, it's just because I'm getting old.
I think the one word that if you say, I

(28:50):
don't care if it's Lebron James or you know, a
legendary veteran quarterback, if it's Matthew Stafford or anyone a
little older, when you say the word are thritis. I
think of my grandma. I really do. I think of
my grandma. They're reaching my art right is yeah. But
you know what, people on their phones all the time
with tech neck and type and all the time, their

(29:11):
hands are getting sore, numb, thumb. Younger, Yeah, numb thumb.
Younger people are experiencing this stuff. So I want you
to start thinking about this, and we're gonna go to
Dan Bayer. What are some ailments or references or black
liquorice sort of things that are dead giveaways that you're older?
Right if someone says, oh, if someone says something about

(29:31):
there out the right, is you automatically know they're probably
older than me. One of those dead giveaways we'll talk about.
Let's go to Dan Byerve. Put my numb thumb in
the ball.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
I heard you ordered around a boost for everybody, less
than a company party one for everybody. Did you say
Lebron was doubtful? Is that what you said? Cavino, what
were you saying?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
That's what I said? According to the Bleacher Report earlier today,
good because I can update it. He's out.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
He's not gonna play for so he has been ruled out.
In fact, head coach JJ Reddick said that there's a
possibility Luka Doncic could return Sunday when they face the
seventy six Ers. No Luca tonight either, as the Lakers
face the Celtics.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Hey, it's Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington from The Odd
Couple on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
And in addition to hearing us live weeknights from seven
to ten pm Eastern on Fox Sports Radio, we are
excited to announce brand new YouTube channel.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
For the show.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
That's right. You can now watch The Odd Couple live
on YouTube every day.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
All you gotta do search Odd Couple FSR on YouTube
again YouTube, Just search Odd Couple FSR. Check us out
on YouTube and subscribe.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Covino and Rich out here on the West Side Line
from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Happy Holidays. It's time
for our tire rect play of the day. Lebron made
the right play instead of going for his record double
digit streak.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Just make sure you get the last shot in regular weirds.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
There it goes Riots to Jones chicken corner, growing.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
To win the game. James gave him the basketball. I love,
I love, and James gave him the basketball. The assist
was as impressive as the shot. Lakers win buzzer beater
over the Raptors one twenty three, one twenty courtesy of
Lakers Television from Spectrum Sportsnet. And that's our tire rack

(31:36):
play of the day. And you know, as I heard
that call, and you know, we saw it, and we
saw Lebron freaking out in excitement. The whole team was
super pumped, lost to lots of chest bumps. That's sort
of how we end every good, every good show here
at Fox Sports Radio. If he didn't hit that shot,
then Lebron just ends the streak and it's weak. I mean,

(31:58):
I know, the fact that he hit, that he made
that perfect pass and that he hit the shot is
what made it awesome. It's imperfect. It's indicative of the new,
unselfish team play of Lebron James at this stage of
his career, you know what. So good for him. He
had that shot, so he made the ending of the
streak perfect and poetic and they get the W. So

(32:19):
it really was awesome.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I love the three pointers from Ruly too. They're almost
like line drives, like smooth line drives, the opposite of
the rainbow from Jamal Clafford back in the day.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Now, two quick thoughts Number one, I'm still thinking about
Dominic to donkeying. You know why Santon needs Dominic to
Donkey I was Sam because Rudolph don't. Rudolph can't climb
the hills of it to Lee. Come on, don't they fly?
Are you ruining the song? Don't bring your logic into

(32:50):
this Christmas classic. Don't be Matt Rife. So my other
thought was, if you're in Boston tonight, I'm sure it
might be snowy. My mom and brother in Maryland and
my sister in New York. Bolt said, snowy, very very
you know, cold wintery weather on the East Coast. Imagine
you put on your big ass jacket, you bundle up

(33:12):
to go see the Celtics Lakers. No Lebron, no Luca.
I get it. You expect that, you got almost prepare
for that when you go to the NBA. Oh, that's
a major. When you go to an NBA game regular season,
it's a possibility. But Celtics Lakers historic rivalry, you show
up there with your kid, no Luca, no Lebron, It's

(33:32):
gotta be disappointing, right. It makes me think of Rich's
dad the Birthday Boy. This week, Rich's dad had tickets
to see Hugh Jackman in the lead of a play
on Broadway and they found out Hugh Jackman wasn't performing.
It's like, oh, I want a refund an he got
my dad's Like I did not come to New York City.
I want to see the understudy. Yeah, this is not

(33:52):
what I paid for. So my Dad's like, I got it.
You can, By the way, you can get a refund
if you go to a Broadway show and the star
is not there, you could. Yeah, this could have been
your chance to see Lebron and Luca and it's not happening.
But guess what, you can't get your money back. All right,
We got more cn R next on Fox Sports Radio.
What do we learned yesterday? Lebron is unselfish, the streak

(34:15):
is over, but the Lakers are good, and we learned
that maybe the Cowboys aren't there and the Lions, who
we thought well, I mean, I can't say I totally
changed my mind. I'm not that flip floppy. I still
think they might not make the playoffs, but yesterday, if
they would have lost, it's over. I still think it
doesn't look good because they gotta go play the Rams
in a week. I know they have a little extra rest,

(34:36):
but that Rams Lions game that's now even bigger. So
NFL just continues to deliver. You are pretty flip floppy,
though no one wears flip flops more than you. I
think I wear. I think you're a weirdo that you
think like showing your feet flip flops with jeans. No,
I don't wear flipoue one of them. Google it in

(34:57):
in the New York post on a red carpet. Maybe
post on the red carpet. Look it up, maybe in
the two thousands. All right, So I don't rock jeans
with flip pups. But you're the type of guy that
we're sneakers to the beach because you must have busted
feed or something. Lies. These are lies, though, these are
just straight lies. I'll show you my feet right now
on YouTube. But anyway, you have to pay for that.

(35:21):
Looking at the door right now, I have an OnlyFans
paid for that. Now, that ties into the rest of
our conversation. Lebron has a luxury where he could have
these old guy injuries because he could rely on his
young teammates like Reeves and and Luke had a step up.
When he's not feeling right. He has left foot joint
arthritis and sciatica. Right, So we just want to wrap

(35:44):
up the conversation of what are some ailments or references
or old guy things that are dead giveaways that that
person's older than you. Oh, and your dad is victim.
He calls flipflops thongs. Oh, Richie, I got my thongs.
My dad your thongs. He goes, yeah, oh all right,
you called them flip fall My parents call them thongs too.

(36:04):
It's generational, you know, I because they're old. So when
I hear about Rich's dad's thongs, I'm like, yo, man,
this guy's showing a lot of cheek this summer.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
So that's an old guy thing we already mentioned, like
the old people candy. I'll give you one, I said,
bust out of Werthers or one of those strawberry dollar
tree candies. I said something the other day and I
stopped myself because I was like, I don't want to
sound like the old guy. I mean, I don't expect
you to remember every story we tell on the show.
But do you remember I went to take my kids
to go see Wicked two and it was the same

(36:33):
day as the forty nine ers. Yeah, Carolina Panthers Monday
and night.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I said you were gonna tape something.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah. I was like, I'm gonna tape the game, and
I'm like, hold on, correction, I'm gonna record it. I'm
not such a good one taping it. I hope the
VHS works.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Another one along those lines, my mom. I talked to
her a couple of weeks ago, and she said, yeah,
I gotta go run some errands. I got to deposit
some money at the bank. What Yeah, who goes to
the money the bank to deposit money that we all
have direct.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Apolicit for that, or like even if someone gives you
a check, just you take a picture.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Of it on your phone, or if somebody writes a
check or talks about their check book, do you guys
on's the last time any of us wrote an actual check.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
I still write checks for my landlord requires it. I
used to use your landlord, mister Robert, my previous landlord
said you zell or like a you know, and so
like I went in back in time.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
I like regress. But landlord, it's a very old guy
thing to not have Venmo, to not have zel, to
not have you know, access cash aff you know, And
there's no shade here. But it is an old guy thing.
And I have to check myself sometimes because my references
are a little older. But when mad Dog talks about
Bob Coozy every second vibe could Hey, it just sounds

(37:47):
so old to me, right, and he's the best, and
then we love him, so that's no shade there, the
old guy stuff. You know, we started noticing that when
we would reference LT, but we meant we met Lawrence Taylor. Obviously,
Younger people are like, you mean with Danny and Tomlinson
were like, no, you mean Lawrence Taylor. So certain things
could date you without even realizing it. And Lebron's injuries

(38:08):
are one of those things. I got one that I'm
calling out you buddy, I dude, believe me. When I
start talking about Atari and things like that, then that's
a big one because I'm I'm a kid whose first
video game console was Nintendo. Yeah. So in Cavinos talking
about Yo with Tari Bro, I'm like, what are you
like a sixty bro? Yeah, I know you're way too

(38:29):
young to play Atari. I mean, I know you had
older cousins and stuff. I chuck it out to. I
have a great memory.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
What's up, dB, what's your favorite episode of Seinfeld?

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Well that's a good one, the bet, No, it's that's
the question.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
If you ask thirty somethings now, they're like, I've never
watched it. I've never seen it. I've never watched it.
It's a good one and so like I think it's
so recent in my life and it isn't. But I
will bring up episodes and I'm like, yeah, I never
saw it. They go watch Friends. I don't know Sam's
that they like.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
You know, it's also very confusing too to a younger person.
You know, you'll say something like yeah, yeah, you know
on on Brady Bunch or I Love Lucy. You'll bring
up an old show like how old are you dude,
but they don't realize that you watched it on Nick at.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Night or yeah, like that was our version of how
the twenty somethings watch Friends? Right now?

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah? No, you're right. So it's like the way like
How I Met your Mother or Friends or one of
those shows Riairs. You're right, Covino, because it's like Brady Bunch,
what are you?

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Smart? Gets smart? Let me take it to sports for
a second. Is there a stadium reference? Like I don't know,
I'm not saying people do, but like the Niners, what
if someone accidentally drops like a candlestick reference or like
Brendan Bernerina, Yeah, like if you know you like you,
I think you may have slipped recently into the new
Jersey nets, Like you know, is there a absolutely is
there like a oh man, you're an old guy reference,

(39:48):
Like if you say the Redskins, you're like, all right,
old timer, it's the commanders now. Like I was thinking
along those lines too, because you could tell an older
guy when they say something that's politically incorrect without trying
to be rude, but it just dates them as they're older,
and like, yay, you can't be saying that anymore. You
may think you're edgy, you mean, like you can have

(40:08):
the conversations with your parents. Yeah, you may think you're edgy,
but you're just really showing me how old you are.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
And when you have fathers and sons that aren't juniors,
and you like put the wrong name in front of
or even something of David Carr instead of Derek Carr,
you know, like you know something like that, You're like, okay,
you're going to the older side of things.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Well, you know how any way, my name is starting
to date me. Just my name period. Steve is serving
the older I remember, so I remember. It might as
well be easier. So look at the names on our
show like Sam. Believe it or not, I was Sam.
Sam's like a popular name again, I bet you when
you grew up, Sam felt like like a name that
not many kids.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Had, right, it was like it's Sam's never been like
an overused name, but it was a lesser used name
when I.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Was a kid.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
But like when I was a kid, every kid was
Mike or Anthony. My dad's name is Mike. And I'm
thinking about what we talked about, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson,
Michael j Fox, Michael and shout out to Michael Anthony
van Halen.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Does that date me?

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yes? It absolutely does. But I think when you see,
you know when I coached on a CD for Danny,
when I when I coach all these little kids on
my son's team, it's Dylan and Phoenix and Adler in
this all names that are not like Rich, Rich and Steve.
We got old guy names because I remember when we
were fans of like Howard Stern back in the day, Howard,

(41:26):
Gary Arty, fred AARTI there's no kids named Gary in
my mind. I was like, yo, that they were starting
to be dated. But that's us now. Yeah, so these
are dead giveaways complaining about your ailments, conversations about doctor visits. Uh,
you're pumped to tell me about vitamins or supplements you're taking.
This is all old.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Guys talking about how you need readers.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, Rich has his proactive sixty that. I wrote that
down because Cavino, who is old hawkeye over here, who
was like bro twenty ten vision hit five hundred indice
school baseball, Like Cavino bragged about like he could see
a street sign a mile away. They call me all ego.
We were at we were at a fight in Vegas,

(42:09):
and I remember being like, yo, you think he's gonna
knock him out. There's a minute fifteen left in the round.
The comunoe is like, where were you seeing this? I
couldn't see. That's when I got glasses. Yeah, the big
score boat. He's like, I don't see a thing. COVID
Ive been COVID. Yeah you could say COVID. I you
could say you're forty something. Yeah maybe, but yeah, readers.
When you see your buddies who you went to the
club with ten twenty years ago and they're buying readers,

(42:31):
that's when you know, let's say, had a trip in Vegas.
One of our good buds, Trip, how do you know
you're getting older? What's up? Man? When you're Lebron James
and you have arthritis?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
What are those references? What's up? Trip? Hold on? Danny's
phones are hot. Hold on phones are on fire eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox or at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio on social media.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
What's up? Trip?

Speaker 6 (42:55):
Hey, gentlemen. Always good to hear you right there in
my weekend listening to y'all.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
You know what it's called Danny answers a phone that
has a chord on it when you when you call,
that is true, what's up? Man?

Speaker 6 (43:05):
But a term would be go to the market instead
of the grocery store, like where the hell is the market?
And then h for injuries, I would go with tennis
elbow and versaidas oh my.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Dad had tennis elbow. That isn't all I think? That's like, uh, yeah,
you know what? Thank you, Trip. You know the old
guy reference to like give me a call is doing
like the Cowabunga shaka, like thumb to ear, and a
kid today would just put his hand to his ear they.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Call me yeah, like a flat iPhone.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Like a flat iPhone. So even our like they'd say,
even our gestures are like old guy gestures. Don't call
me text me?

Speaker 6 (43:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Question, but yeah, you know what rich calling me all
the time. I'm like, dude, what are you seventy five
years old to shoot me a text? You know these
you do these thumbs, So I won't tell you anymore.
I have a question. I know this is uh Ellen
degenerous did this in a stand up routine like years ago,
So why you think I'm stealing Ellen's jokes of all people?
But she did do a joke about like, how do

(44:04):
you tell someone to roll down their car window now?
Because remember back in the day, your parents would be
like roll it down, Like, roll it down, like you're
the great poopon you make a circle with your finger?
Do you what do you do now? Just like if
you needed to get someone's attend, like roll down the window.
Do you still do that?

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Roll it down? I'm gonna ask my kid that there's
a universal sort of updated sign language. But if you
want to feel if you want to feel old, look
up some of these videos on TikTok or Instagram where
they ask, well, there's two ways to feel old. They
ask like, let's say UNC's men's basketball team. How old
is someone? What year do they need to be born?

(44:42):
And they'll be like in the nineteen hundreds. It makes
you feel like garbage. And the other one is when
they when people show teenagers literally technology from the eighties
or nineties and they pick up a cassette and they're like,
what is this? Or they pick up a VCR and
they're like, I don't know, Like it's wild. Was it
to give away? Along with Lebron's recent injuries, but a

(45:04):
game that was an interesting one. I saw a clip
on social where they were asking kids what they thought
the yellow pages and the white pages were and watching
kids learn that numbers you should just be in a big,
fat book. They were like, what, like they could addresses
right if you want to look people up? So random?

(45:27):
You know it's it's we said it's snowy on the
East coast. Remember on those days where the weather was
a little suspect, they would be like a phone chain
at school, Like your mom would get a call from
someone like school's canceled, then she had to call someone else's.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Watch the news.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Roll channel, Yeah, town channel. I'm not trying to cramp
local radio, but local radio used to be important because
they'd be like, remember they do like traffic time and weather,
and it's like traffic ways, weather, iPhone time phone, Like
is there really a need for some local got to
be like here's the traffic in the weather.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Some people like to kick back and have somebody tell
it all to them.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
You think if I'm going to see you and Danny,
if I'm gonna if we're covering for, if we're covering
for like Colin and I got to see the traffic
on the way to Fox. Do you think I'm listening
to like the local traffic eye or you think I'm
just going to waising Google Maps. I got two more
dead giveaways that you have arthritis in your foot, like
finding me in a backup on the Verrizontal Bridge. If
a younger person hands you their phone and you take

(46:29):
the picture landscape, that's like an old guy move because
every young person does it. They want they want it
for like the Graham, they want it for Instagram or whatever.
And if your references Facebook or even in Instagram, you're
kind of an older guy because every young kid's on
like Snapchat or something else. Yeah, I don't know. I
think everyone knows that right, like your kids think that

(46:49):
Facebook's like the old person in social media. And that's
for my aunt Sharon. I will wrap it and then
we're gonna talk about our big games and we're gonna
play a game. What's up? Will?

Speaker 6 (47:00):
What's up? Fellas?

Speaker 7 (47:01):
First things first, I'll be listening to you guys from
the time you guys gone on Fox Sports and you
guys are.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Like listening to my boys hanging out, because dude, that's awesome.
That's the goal, man, what's up?

Speaker 7 (47:14):
My favorite call in ever was what a guy called
in to talk trash to you guys, Like, wait a minute,
but you're listening to us anyway, I am. I am
not a fashion dude. And where you guys love to
go get your your favorite sports team headwear. I'm a
district sales.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
Manager for out here in Michigan.

Speaker 7 (47:32):
And anyways, when I first started with the company, my
boss at the time was a big shoe guy and
I wasn't so I wanted to be matchie MATCHI with
my outfits, and I went and bought myself some bomb
shoes and they were the old Nike Monarchs, and of
course when he walked in, he's like old guy shoes.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Huh the launcher mow the launchers. And but they're sort
of like they're old guys. Shot, they're old guys. They're
super clunky white. But but don't be shocked if they
make a comeback because kids wear like new Balance. Now
you're right, you're right. Yeah, the old guy shoe was
making a push. But anyway, thank you guys for all
the phone calls. We have a few more.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
We got to move on, guys, just too many phone calls. Yeah,
thanks so much to get to one of those things,
Riches Big TV Game of the Week. All right, it
is time to go over the big TV TV Game
of the Week. We do this every week thanks to TCL.
Let's hit it. Sam. You should hear my fat up.
I got an extra TV the game game that I

(48:31):
will have riches Big TV Game of the Week.

Speaker 8 (48:35):
It's richest big TV game of the week.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Guys. I'm sort of torn like Creed or Natie and Brillier.
Old guy reference, old guy reference. That's have you ever
injured yourself? Laughing because I've gotten a cramp in my
I've heard my neck. Can I tell you howld thing?
Not to get off track, Rich Joe was like a

(49:01):
like a fruit fly. A fly in my kitchen bothered
me and I went to snag it with my Kurt
Russell Miagi, what do you do with reflexes? My Jack
Burton reflexes? And I reached so fast and so hard
I feel I pulled my arm out, and it's been
hurting me for like two weeks. Yeah, sure had commission

(49:23):
because of this. Well, let me tell you early games.
Let's zip through this because it's just too hard to
decide early games. There's three good ones. Forget the Jets
and Dolphins, and the Saints and Bucks and Titans, Browns,
Commander's Vikings, there's some stinkers. Seahawks are gonna kill the Falcons.
There's three early games. And I'll tell you what I'm
gonna watch. I'm gonna watch the Colts and Jags both
at eight and four. Someone's gonna lose, and someone's gonna

(49:46):
have a one game lead in first place. And that's man.
I'm not gonna tell you who I think is gonna
win because I don't even know the Jags maybe, but
Colts and Jags, that's an AFC South matchup that gets
the big TV. You might say, Rich, you're not gonna
give it to the Ravens Steelers. Ooh, that's close behind,
and I am curious to see if the Bills stomp
on the Bengals or if the Bengals start their their

(50:07):
glorious road to like making the playoffs sound like a
dB guy, I think that's his game. Yeah, I honestly
I think the Colts Jags is the game to watch,
but not far behind the Bengals Bills because remember he
said the Bengals could run the table. Who knows. And
of course Steelers Ravens late game not not as hard

(50:27):
because there's only one good one. Broncos Raiders, Danny G.
Do you want you want to see your team even
win this? Well?

Speaker 2 (50:33):
This is actually important for the Broncos because they have
the tie break with the Patriots. If they keep winning,
then the road's gonna have to go through Denver.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
See, so Broncos would likely stomp your team Rams Cardinals. No,
Kyler Murray Rams should easily.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
But Rich you said that last time, and it was
a ten to seven game between the Raiders and Brons.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
That is true, and the one big game it's gonna
be on everyone's TV. I woant to be shocked if
if it got huge numbers. Bears Packers on Fox, it's
a good one nine and three Bears eight three and
one Packers, Packers at Home, a seven point favorite. Some
people say the Bears haven't proven it yet, and there
are people saying, like seven points, how disrespectful to the Bears.

(51:13):
So Bears Packers, that's huge. And then no dispute. Sunday
night you got one game and it's huge Texans Chiefs,
and then Monday Night Eagles Chargers. So all your great games.
The only conflict Cavino was early in the day. Are
you more intrigued by Aaron Rodgers versus Lamar Jackson or
are you more intrigued by that AFC South Colts Jags.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Man, it's funny. I'm more intrigued by the Aaron Rodgers
game to be So if you throw them out, I
think the Colts Jags is probably a better game. So hey,
thank you tcl our big TV game of the week
now coming up, We're gonna play a game that's gonna
give away a prize to one of you. So if
you want to end eight seven, seven, nine to nine
on Fox, are you in the same brainwave as Cavino, Rich, Spot,

(51:57):
Dandy g Sam, Dan Byer. So we're all involve. You
have a chance to win again the number eight, seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox to play. Now, it's time
to play a game where we see if you share

(52:18):
a brain with us fools.

Speaker 8 (52:19):
Let's go do Coveno and Race really share the same brain?

Speaker 1 (52:24):
No Day, Rich chatting, Channy Rays something sides Joe.

Speaker 8 (52:28):
To measure you is their crew not far behind? We're one.
Welcome to Brainway. Try to make sense of the brain.
It's easy. We dropped on sports, music and entertainment questions
and if you match with enough of these bosums, you win.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
On the count of three, reveal.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Brainway one, two, three, Yeah, locked in, guys, you're on
the same wavelength.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Right now, All right, Happy Friday. The question in this
game are all subjective. You just need to try and
match the brain of CNR and the crew. Let's go out.
We're going to get our contestant on the studio line
right now, and then I'll explain the game. Ryan was
first through in Done Moore, Pa, what up? Ran? What's
going on?

Speaker 1 (53:15):
It's a Doubleedore Pa, Ryan fu.

Speaker 7 (53:20):
Done more not Dundle.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Moore, Ryan, what do you do for a living there
in Pennsylvania?

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Work for Dempsey?

Speaker 7 (53:26):
It's a uniform and went into black Company.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Oh very cool. All right, here's how the game works.
I have five rounds ready to go. Our contestant needs
to win two of them to be the champ and
walk away with a CNR. In our football I'm going
to ask a sports, music or entertainment question and then
give three debatable answers to choose from the six of
us in studio. Going to write down our answers on
dry erase boards for our YouTube channel and Ryan, that's
going to give you time to get your answer ready.

(53:49):
On the count of three, Ryan shouts his answer out.
Then we go around the studio to reveal ours. Our
contestant has to match with four of us to win
the round. So he's got a bat six sixty seven
or no matter the callers answer. If all six of
us in studio happen to match, Ryan, you automatically win
the round. Right. Here we go. Round one. You guys
have your dry race.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Boards, right, Yeah, I'm trying it out.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
Now. Hold on, he's trying something bad over there that
HR would not approve. All right, we're gonna start with
enter Yeah, we're gonna start with entertainment. It's widely considered
that Christian Bale played the best Batman. Which of these
actors is second best, Michael Keaton, Robert Pattinson or Adam West?

(54:37):
All right, we're all writing rotters down. It's easy you say,
all right. There's a lot of debate about this online.
All right, on the count of three, Ryan, you're gonna
shout out your answer. One, two, three, Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton,
he says, cave youn know, you go first.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
I'm an old guy. Three runs Adam West. Oh, come on,
aw so I love the Son of a Gun. I
gave the old guy answer too, because I'm like they
only did like one movie, and like Adam West is Batman,
Adam West, those are old guys, all right, dB, Adam West,
what show working with?

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Okay? Right now, he's oh for three, but everybody's but
it doesn't. It doesn't sound like Spotty's in agreement though.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Oh man, not a chance.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
Michael Keaton, by far is the best Batman, even better
than Ben.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Michael Keaton was over auting.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
No, there we go. No, you did get one right
with that.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Yeah, I can't get it, though. I also said Adam West,
shame on. You have you ever seen the documentary spot
he is Batman? Oh?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Come on? I gave Michael Keaton. Come on, Michael Keaton
was still Batman eighties?

Speaker 3 (55:48):
And what I didn't get an option for belly old
guys Batman?

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Danny didn't give Val Kilmer.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
There's a reason why, because Val Kilmer's ahead of these guys.
It's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
All right, we're gonna moved around too. It's all right,
there's four more.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Even no, let choose Clooney. Oh no, we don't talk
about that.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
I'm not all right. Round two, let's go to sports.
Which of these is the most memorable baseball card of
the nineteen eighties? The nineteen eighty nine Tops Billy Ripkin
f Face, the nineteen eighty nine Upper Deck Ken Griffy
Junior Rookie or the nineteen eighty four Don rust Down
Mattingly Rookie everybody fought for? Oh, all right, f Face,

(56:28):
Ken Griffy Junior Rookie or the down rust On Mattingly Rookie.
Oh all right, think about your answer, Ryan. The rest
of us will answers down. Yeah, this one's hard. It's
the most memorable. I bet all right, everybody locked in,
locked in, think so Ryan, we need your answer on

(56:48):
the count of three, one, two, three, I gotta go Griffy.
It's going Griffy. We're going in reverse order this time.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Iowa, Sam, I said, Griffy, all right, one for you.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
You know, yeah, Griffy. But the one card we were
tearing packets opening up looking for was the f face card.
It's a spotty I.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Went with Griffy as well. I do agree, Danny, but
like I think the more coveted card was the Griffy.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
All right, Dan Bier, Yeah, I mean it's gonna pay
for my son's college, of course, the Griffy upper Dogs.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
All right, that's what we thought at the time, all right,
Rich Davis, I wrote.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Griffy Junior, but I put three f's for some reason.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Was that is that four four?

Speaker 1 (57:37):
I went with Billy Ripkin fear card was legendary, and
with Danny g But congrats you got that round.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Yes, all right, so you're halfway to a CNR prize.
We go to round three. Let's go to the music category.
Which of these music acts most deserved to be inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Oh, Billy Idyl,
the Black Crows were the B fifty two.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
There's debate on all three of them any other brainbusters?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
All right, we're all writing our answers down and we
need your answer. Ryan. On the count of three, one, two, three,
he said, B fifty two's all right, Covino, we start
with you.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Well, I guess Rich is the only guy I can
agree with him. But Billy Idol, come on, I mean Rich, Ryan,
it's a nast day for a what wedding, and he
was also in wedding singer Billy Idol. Come on, go
with to B fifty two.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Dan Byer, I think you guys know where I'm going
with this.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
He is our former teammate at Fox Sports Radio, and
even though he had a falling out with the Robinson Brothers,
shout out Steve Gorman. Black Crows are a great band.
I used to listen to the Gorman Brothers.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Shake Your money Maker was a game changer.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
All right, Spotty?

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah, you know, I do agree on the B fifty
two's should have made it, But I went with Billy
Idol just because he's more rock.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I don't know, but.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Great, he was so emptyv punk rock elbows Man.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Before he passed. Even Ozzie Osbourne said that Billy Idol
should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
So I said, Billy.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
And Sam I did say the b fifty twos are legendary.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
They should be.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
What are the things besides love, chef rock, lobster, Private Idaho,
My private own private Idaho.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
They have a lot of hits.

Speaker 7 (59:36):
You.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
They're a little bit more like Kitchie though, like the
are their niche. Why I think they deserve it because
they are a little bit unique. They're very unique, very unique.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
Sam just needed to come up with two two more
songs and then put her on cruise control.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Let's uh, let's go back to sports. All right, all right,
a couple, we're claren, we're claring our dry erase boards.
We're gonna go to words. Which of these legendary wide
receivers had the best hands? Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Largent or
DeAndre Hopkins. Out of those three, which legendary wide receiver

(01:00:13):
had the tough best hands? Yeah? Yeah, the options again,
Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Largent or DeAndre Hopkins. Hum all right,
we're all writing our answers. Everybody locked in. Yeah, all right, Ryan,
we need your answer on the count of three, one, two, three.

(01:00:36):
Larry app Okay, he says Fitzgerald, which way do we go?
Last time Sam starts, we got to reverse order, So iowa, Sam,
all right, here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
This is hard because I have to use one hand
to reveal one hand for the dinger.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
I said, Larry Fitzgerald, Gerald, leave your dinger out of this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Whoa. I remember seeing some spidy catches from this dude,
I said, d hop he had a wide radius and spotty.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
I went with Gerald Fitzlary.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
I feel you guys put me at a bad spot
here because I knew that I was gonna say Larry Fitzgerald,
but I got you think I'm gonna go against Largent
like there's no lad.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
However, you know what, he's the only guy whose hands
we saw because he didn't wear gloves, best hands, nice hands.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
No Largent was amazing rich. What did you say?

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):

film where you needed a leading lady Margo, Robbie, a
Stone or Zendaya. Those are like the three leading ladies
on the internet. Right now, all right, we're all gonna

count of three, Danny dooit all right, one two.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):

Margot Robbie, Easy peasy, summer squeeze, rich, cheeky. Let me
tell you. I don't think there's a hotter woman on
earth than this woman in the Wolf of Wall Street.
She was also Barbie. I think this is a no brainer.
Margot Robbie one thousand, all right, DV.
