chinooka and Rich, congratulations because your forty nine ers look unstoppable.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
To quote my Niner gang. The City Baby.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Rich carried the whole team last night.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Hey, yeah, the City.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
They looked really Look I'm outside looking in, right, I'm
not a forty nine ers guy, but I pay close
attention because my buddy Rich likes Subcity.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And what is it?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
A no punt November and December for these guys. They're unstoppable.
Their offense looks insane.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Their last punt was the very end of November. They
did have a buy in there, but it's still a
great status to say they haven't punted since the month
of November.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
More's head and Morse, they're just dropping the mall.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, he looks bored, doing.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Weird stretches, like he's just hanging.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And I will say this, I'm not all sold on
my Niners yet, but I will say they look explosive.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Hey, bro, I know you don't want to jinxed them
in any way.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You're get too ahead of yourself, right, you don't want
to be braggadocious and boastful after a big win. But dude,
I'm telling you, I don't think anybody could have beat
them last night. Philip Rivers looked great in his return.
I thought he did a great job. Those picks at
the end for both teams really didn't matter much. Rivers
showed a lot old man Rivers that was fun to
root for.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Props to him. He did everything he could.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Their defense couldn't do anything against the forty nine ers offense.
I'm not sure anyone could Kittle. You know, Kittle actually
had that other touchdown. They didn't even give it to him.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh okay, I'm watching with the sound off.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
That was no.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Kittle was out of the game with a you know
by that point, resting on that ankle.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'm schmoozing here in Idaho, but I'm watching the game
with no sound on. Will everyone's you know, singing along
to the Holiday classics?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
They just give me doing Christmas karaoke while he has
the game on in the background.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Dude, other families do sing along. Cards have all been said.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Board games and everything that's not my ste lo. So
I was sitting there watching the game, playing an old
maid with his mother in law. No, no, no, I'm
watching the game sound off, and I'm saying hi to everybody.
But yo, they just have this knack of moving the
ball down the field. When I saw Purdy and Rivers
connecting at the end of the game, I see a
(04:22):
young party saying, hey, man, I watched you growing up.
It's the non or playing with you as he quoted.
But for a rivers, I see him saying, hey, dude,
you're the real deal kid. You know you got some
real skill and it showed he's the perfect fit.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
For that team.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I never want to hear any criticism against this guy again.
They look solid, and I'm saying this all on behalf
of rich because he doesn't want to sound bost.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I didn't want to solid.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I didn't even want to wear forty nine Ers gear
today because I felt like it would be a little
too mostful because I'm I'm ily optimistic because they do play. Dude,
it's just as much their season as anybody else's, and
they're last on the list as far as teams that
people bring up. People are quick to bring up, you know,
the Bills or the Patriots. Dude, the forty nine Ers
(05:09):
are right in that mix, like DJ Khaled bro in
the mix.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
A big game.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Next Sunday night Primetime NBC, forty nine Ers are hosting
the Bears.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
They beat the Bears on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Then I feel like Danny is it safe to say
then I could say, all right, I'm buying in more
like I'm not. You know, just last night they were
just moving the ball where I looked too easy. I
am too easy, So easy, bro, he scored at will
I'm concerned about one thing, and I think Danny may
know where I'm going. Without Nick Bosa, without Fred Warner,
(05:46):
they're just putting no pressure on the quarterback. They scored
forty eight points, so it was like, oh wow, they
won by twenty something. Yeah, they gave You know, Philip
Rivers is one hundred and forty four years old and
he was sacked what once, Like there's no pressure by
a rookie.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
And there were even times where Philip Rivers rushed a
couple of his passes and you could see afterwards he
was upset, like I had a little more time, I
could have put my feet down better.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
The only criticism for a really good night as a
forty nine Ers fan is I don't know if you
get away with that versus Caleb Williams. I don't think
you get away with that versus Sam Darnold and other
teams in the NFC. In the playoffs, you got to
put pressure on the quarterback, and Philip Rivers was dude,
it was.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Great to watch. You know, it all worked out if
you're just a fan of football.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
My team looked great, but I didn't want Philip Rivers
to accumiliate it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So I think it was the best of both worlds
for me. My team looked awesome, and.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Philip Rivers really showed the world that yo, man, you're
never too old. And I was really happy for him
and Danny g putting on something funny.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He said his wife Brenda's.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Like, look at his Look at all his friends and
family in the luxury booth in the box.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, no, that's just his immediate hiling.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Those are just his kids.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Is that wild?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And you know what if you heard the tail end
of the Great Dan Byer Sam played this farewell montage
to Philip Rivers because maybe they were all there to
say goodbye to his dad's return. Well, because they're out
of it now, right, We're almost mathematically right. I mean
it's they're out of it unless like Houston or the
(07:21):
Jags lose out and something crazy happens, which won't happen.
So you got to ask yourself, is there a reason
for Philip Rivers to touch a football again. No, there
really isn't why I put his health at risk. He came,
he saw, he didn't conquer, but he looked great in
the process. I thought he looked really good for especially
for a guy in the age I didn't play for
(07:43):
five years.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
If you're going to try to beat the Seahawks and
the forty nine Ers back to back to keep your
playoff hopes alive, I don't know if any backup quarterback
in the National Football League could tackle upun.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Attended that that obstacle. I mean, if you said, hey,
Philip Rivers, come in, we're playing you know, the Cardinals,
and we're playing the Jets.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Then you're like, all right, well we could do this.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Did you think any backup quarterback Danny in the NFL
is coming in to beat Seattle in Seattle and.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Then beat the forty nine ers. That's a really tough ass.
That's a tall order.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I think Philip Rivers did everything possible. In fact, there
were all the signs that it was it for him.
Not only did he have his whole family on hand. Afterwards,
he waited around to give a little bro hug and
wap up de Winters, who intercepted that pass, which, by
the way, I'm not making excuses for old man Rivers,
that was not his fault.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That tight end.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Totally telegraphed that so turnaround, he did no help in selling.
He oversold it where he gave away the play like
he turned his head around. He let d Winters jump
that route. Terrible play by that tight end.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
It was.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It didn't help Rivers by any means. But I think
we all reaped the benefits of a fun, high scoring
Monday night game. We saw Philip Rivers play hard and
not get embarrassed. I don't think anyone wanted to see
him get embarrassed unless you hate the Colts or Philip
Rivers for some weird reason, and you saw the real
deal of an offense. You're right, Rich if your team
makes some defensive tweaks, they're right in it, man, Yeah,
(09:18):
right in it. And that was a really good showing
for brock Party. He's back his past few games. He's back.
They're clicking at just the right time. They're gelling like
Magellan as they said in the nineties, and or as
doctor Schulz said in the nineties, they're jelling at just
the right time.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Collective soul style.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I think a big task that I think we all
know it's happening. So let's just put a little extra
highlighter on that Sunday night game Niners hosting the Bears.
If the Niners win that game Week eighteen against the
Seahawks will be for the one seed.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's a great game, man, which is I'd be shocked
if the Bear and now the Bears again, I've been
looking good. We just we've been under a them all season.
I was just really sold on how hard your forty
nine ers were clicking. If their defense could stop the Bears,
they win that game. I think there's another factor. How
bad is Kittle's ankle?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He downplayed in the post game, saying, hey, listen, it's
not a high ankle sprain, but yeah, I'm in some
pain and we will see, Like, uh, profet, is there
any update on Kittle's ankle?
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Funny you should say that. I just saw that that
Fowler is saying Kittle is dealing with what is being
called a quote mid to low ankle sprain right now.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
So maybe as a decoy, maybe he rests up, maybe
he gets some reps. I think against the Bears at home,
such a game of importance, like, well, again, this is
the the importance is so high. So if Kittle could play,
he'll be out there. But I guess you just got
to put him in one of those cryo chambers for
the next five days and don't bet his his ankle
(10:51):
feels better, tape it up, a little brace or something.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You need him, You definitely need I mean, of course
you do.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He's such a part of what makes that offense work, blocking,
catching passes.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
George Kittle, Sam, I know you're a fan Iowa boy.
He's the heart of that team of beast.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
He's so tenacious, he's.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That he's got that typical tight end quality. A great
tight end has to be a gamer, and he's he's
the epitome of every of what every team should want
in their tight end for sure. So yeah, let's just
hope he's okay because that just makes everything more exciting.
Rich I feel like we've downplayed the forty nine ers
for a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, but you know what, because, as I believe Trey
Aikman and Joe Buck even pointed out, when Nick Bosa
and Fred Warner went down and Big Trent, Big Trent
Williams talked about this after the game when he sat
down with Scott Van Pelt. When a guy like Fred
Warner goes down, who's essentially your quarterback on defense, he's
your team leader, everyone in the locker room gets down
(11:51):
because the reality is you're feeling like, oh, man, like
we're good, but we just lost, like the best player
on our team. And he said, Kyle Shanahan is such
a great coach that he will He has done such
a great job of telling this team like no, no, no.
While Fred Wanner is the best in the game, you
guys could still do this. And props to Kyle Shanahan.
(12:11):
As brock Party said last night, he pulled out the
whole Shanahan playbook. Last night they didn't have to punt once.
So I'm done hanging from my Niners suavos. But I
do have a question for you. After the game last night, I.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Saw I said no to giant Jenga because I don't
do that. Oh after the karaoke they broke out the Jenga.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, I'm like, I don't do that. Would you kidding me?
Playing apples to apples, this cavino, this category, No, I
don't do that.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Honestly, I watch about what they busted when they busted
out the UNO cards.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
You were first in.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Line, though, Now you know what, Danny, those things just
make me. I don't know, they make me feel so
awkward inside. Like family fun time like that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It's just not my val I don't care why family
fun time with your girlfriend and her family would be
weird if they said, just I.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Just I don't know. I feel extra vulnerable. Like you know,
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
You makes you feel vulnerable?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, I don't like it. No, I don't have the
attentions of it. I really don't. I get so bored.
I get so bored from those games, dude. That's why
they're called bored. Game the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
If I told you you were playing charades or something
where you really had to put yourself out there and
act out something, that's one thing.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But you know, makes you feel vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I hate. I don't like kind of what my here's
the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I don't like playing with my own family, let alone
like someone else's family.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Like?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
No, thanks, dude, yo, you you get anxiety to drop
like a draw four on her dad or something.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, I don't like the whole vibe. Of it, and
and they're in my girlfriend's family.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I love them. They're great.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They're listening on ninety nine to nine Idaho right Fox
Sports Radio, Idaho. And they're a big time board game family, Like,
let's bust out the board games.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Let's you know, my pal that I work with at
serious XM to call her family every time the holidays hit.
I see on like her ig story, like they're playing
Yatzi and Monopoly.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And some people I say Nazi. No, thank well, don't
say Nazi.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't mean it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I don't mean an as. I mean I think you
should it to start ot z. Yeah, well yeah, not
that kind.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But yeah, some people are board game families. Some people
like to just chill, have a drink and listen to music.
Other families, you know, you could say, equally boring is
a bunch of lumpy dudes like your uncles and dad's
not talking, just sitting scratching their belly watching a game.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
That's sort of boring too, though.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, you know, I'm a good audience. You know, I
sit there with a drink and chat and laugh. You know,
call me old fashioned rich, but I'd rather sit there
with old fashion and share a fun conversation, you know,
so that's what I did after the game.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But yeah, so you were onto something.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
So after the game when Cavino was saying, yeah, don't
I don't do Jenga and you were trying to dip away.
I saw two legendary running backs, Christian McCaffrey, beast and
his beautiful wife and daughter, Like who's living a better life?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And that guy man Olivia Colpo McCaffrey power couple.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, he's just he's so great.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, really great game and as you saw last night,
like I said, I couldn't I could see, but I
couldn't hear anything.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You ever had it right out there with the greats?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You ever have those debates like nature and nurture in
the world of sports, right, Like like.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
His dad, Ed.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
McCaffrey, great football receiver back in our childhood, Have you
ever seen what Ed McCaffrey would have his kid do
we saw we saw on receiver am Mara Saint Brown's
dad's like the most militant he's been kids doing push
ups and bench res when he's five. McCaffrey was always told,
(15:48):
like you have to have an early bedtime. This guy's
been Christian McCaffrey from a time he was a little boy.
Always knew that he wasn't gonna be a party kid.
He wasn't gonna be drinking and drugging. He knew that
he was going to go to sleep like eight pm
every day. He's going to work out. From the time
he was a little child.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He puts the work in and it shows.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Everything from his diet, Like this kid was probably on
a nutrition plan when he was nine. So you see
McCaffrey out there and he's wapping up in bro hugging
Jonathan Taylor and they do a jersey swap, and it
seemed like a really beautiful moment.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
What happens and how often do you think it happens
when somebody of I'm.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
From Jersey rich That's when back in the day, it
wasn't like we didn't exchange shirts.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
We exchanged gold chains.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Bro, Oh, that's the jersey swap. Yeah, you exchange Italian
gold horns back in my nineties Guido days. Yeah, but
I really do want to know, I said, sut of
probably embarrassing, but how do you work your way out
of the request for.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
A jersey swap?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
But it's not someone of a high enough magnitude.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You're not saying that, You're not implying that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, I think these are two these are two guys
with the jerseys say that's a great one right there.
But I feel you that's why that happened recently. Bro,
I'm pretty sure that happened where someone got denied. Danny
g double checked it. I feel like I saw that recently,
or I thought I had that thought.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like if you see a Steph Curry and like a
Giannis or someone I don't know doing a jersey swapp
or in the NFL, it happens more because they play
each other less.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But if you were to see it's got to be
a mutual respect.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
If you would have see like some let's say some
young tight end that we don't know, or some young
defenders like yo yo kittle jersey swap, Like could he
be like, yeah, nah, can you say no, it's dam
that's really you know, it paints, it paints, it paints you.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Will I'm good, weird, No, No thanks, I'm good, No thanks,
I'm good, thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Tim.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You know you could respectfully decline the offer. You really could.
It's like, I don't know how to how to put it, like, Rich,
your time is of value, right, Can you go and
hang with everybody that you work with?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, you can't, cove.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
I do remember last season in the NBA, SGA denied
a jersey swap with Miles Bridges.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
See you I remember that.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah, I remember that being a headline.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
So I feel like it has happened before.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But my point in saying that was like, there's just
an unwritten understanding where let's say a higher up at
Fox Sports Rich invited you to a holiday get together,
You're probably gonna be like, yeah, you know, I gotta
make time as higher up or a colleague of yours,
(18:48):
of on the equal playing field. Right, If Stu Goats
or Dan Byer or somebody here Colin invited you to
a holiday party, were like, yeah, I'm gonna have to
make time. But if so, I'm young kid is having
a little get together at his apartment or something, you
might not be as willing.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And it's not because you don't like it sounds a
little big timing.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
It sounds big timy, but are you I'm just trying
to put it in everyday terms, right, Like you're really
not gonna make that same attempt to make it happen.
You might do your best, but there's an understanding that
you might not be able to do that because your
time is of value. It's not because you're too cool.
If so, you're not gonna just jersey swap with everybody
(19:30):
that requests it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
If THEOV or Joe Rogan was like, Yo, come on
my podcast, you're dropping everything. I mean, if Joe Schmo's like, hey, man,
can you do my podcast, you might be like, yo,
I'd like to, but let me see if it works.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, you can't just it's a little big timy. But
you can't just say yes to everybody. Hey, when you
say yes to something, you're saying no to something else.
If Sga is saying yes to this guy, he's saying
no to someone else who.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Might be a little more worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And when I say worthy, I mean like James Yes,
someone who's paid their dues, someone on.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
That level worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hey, as the game goes, as they played last night,
apples to apples, rich, it's got to be apples to apples. Yeah,
it can't be someone who hasn't. It's got to be
an honor.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
For the other guy. What does the other guy get
out of it. Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Like if it was like Christian McCaffrey and the backup,
backup running back for the Colts, it'll be like you're
gonna give McCaffrey keep.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
A charity situation, Like, hey, that guy's got to earn that.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Do the players have to have like a list in
their back pocket of Madden ratings?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I mean, you know what, here's how they have to
approach it though. Right, let's say it's a special team nobody.
Hey McCaffrey, I'm a big fan. I'm I really adore
and admire everything you do, Like there has to be
a little more to it, like, hey, I'm only in
the NFL because of you, and you're making that dude's
childhood dream come true.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know that's really it.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You have to really humble yourself to expect that in return.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I know it sounds.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Crazy because people don't like hierarchy in today's world, but
there is one. I'm sorry, that's just how life works,
and I know people don't like that. It's like these
a lot of and I'm not calling out the weien Eels,
they're great, but they expect to be on on Well,
it's actually the bottom of the totem pole because the
bottom is the more powerful, right, But they expect to
be right up there playing in the big leagues without
(21:27):
putting their dues in. You got to put your dues in, man,
That's just really what it is, Just an interesting thought.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I saw.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I saw the jersey swap, and I'm like, that's a
nice equal jersey swap.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I'm sure there's times where a player's like, oh, that's
a good one.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And you know, we all start off, dude, I would
never expect that as a young man coming up.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You got to earn earn it. You got to earn it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
At least those are the rules we were taught and
we played by young people have different expectations and every
path is different. But uh, I think you respectfully decline
unless there's no unless there's no one, if you're not
giving it to anyone else. Maybe I don't know your thoughts.
You know, no one likes to hear those things. But like,
let's say you're at a club in Vegas when you're
(22:09):
a younger guy.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Hey, man, like.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
They bring they let the hot girls in. They don't
let the dudes or the ugly girls. It's you know,
like there's there. Yeah, yeah, r everybody right. Nobody likes it,
but just how life works.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
No one needs to hear those things, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
It's kind of true.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Hey, listen, we have more covin on rich. Congrats to
the forty nine ers last night, putting themselves in a
category now of like, ooh, teams that you might be
scared of going into the postseason.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think they solidify themselves in the conversation for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Man, I was.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I was really impressed with what I saw. Just like
I said, they made it look really easy to move
the ball down the field. It's like every play they executed,
every play, man, the only weakness is zero pressure on
the opposing quarterback.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And I'm talking about the offense.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And we'll see how that works out against Kayleb Williams
next week. That is your game of the week by far.
So we'll get to uh, we'll get to that. We'll
talk about some Christmas classics. Cavino has a dilemma. He's
not playing scategories tonight. But no, there's a uh.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
What's that other week one that people that Shannon brought
and she brings all the time. What's that other one
that people love to play as a newer one. Oh
what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, that's the other one.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Uh oh man, what is it called? Spiny knows what
I'm talking about. I don't play any of those games.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's that's the dirty version of apples to apples.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
A yeah against humanity?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Talks against humanity?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, no, thanks, man, I'd rather, uh, like I said,
rather have a conversation than play these awkward games with people.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, Cavino has an old school dilemma, and I think
you guys are gonna love it, and and it somehow
ties into classic sports. We'll get to that. Ben Simmons,
the Fisherman, We'll get to that. Somebody random stories today,
we'll get to all of it right here. Cavino Rich

For the last I would say, playoffs in practice practice,

the number one most watched boxing match of all time
Jake Paul Tyson last year one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (29:59):

Speaker 4 (30:01):
So you know, hate him, love him. Jake Paul brings
the eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
He really does. Man, it's changing the game.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Like when you're talking four point something million, that's like
baby games compared to the forty and one hundred million
that we're tuning in for these other Netflix events still
Paul Events, and now I want to talk about things
that we have to watch this holiday season. Can I
first just say this Rich, because I forgot to mention
this on our Patreon today. Shout out to the Carls
(30:28):
of Patreon, the Covino and Rich listeners on our Patreon.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm going to be on the History Channel tonight. Yeah, buddy,
what he talking? What do you know about history?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Not a whole lot, but I'm making it and I'll
be on tonight with a brand new episode.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Danny Trejo's Oh Mysteries Unearthed.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I think you're going to talk about that time President
taff got caught in a bathtub.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
You're not doing that special on the History Channel. No, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
So tune in tonight the History Channel just for something
to watch because I forgot to mention it earlier today and.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I forgot to mention that the Road to Milan runs
through Saint Louis. See Ilia milanins Alyssa, lou and Amberg
Line compete in the twenty twenty sixth Priviaging US Figure
Skating Championships.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
That's January seventh.
Speaker 1 (31:08):

Speaker 3 (31:09):
If you're interested, be there as the twenty twenty sixth
US Olympic Figure Skating team is named Live tickets available
at US figure Skating dot org.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Hell yeah, look at that man. So thank you guys
again for hanging out with us, but look out for me.
Tonight on Found Fortunes is the episode called Found Fortunes
on Mysteries on Earth with Danny Trejo History Channel. And
then after that, right after I boast in front of
the in laws and hey, look at me, as I
point at myself, gottnardos DiCaprio, I have a question.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Do you let them though you're on or do you
just casually put on the History Channel and wait for
like your father in law to be like.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Truthfully, I'll probably I'll probably be at the beginner. If
you know what, man Rich, I wish people cared. Nobody cares,
Nobody gives it deadly squat. Imagine if your dad was
on TV or someone you knew growing up, the whole
family would be around to watch.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No one gives a turd about your boy.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
I think Covino runs to the bathroom, puts TV makeup on,
sits down in the same outfit that he's going to
be on the TV show.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, strangers at the bar, Matt are going to care
more than people that know me, all.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Right, So there there was a funny time. Can I
just tell a quick story. We'll go to Profet's update
after the script story and now, no, we're going to.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Talk about what you need to watch tonight. Okay, classic,
Now we did.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
We did a TV show for ESPN and it would
air at different times. Now We're never, Now We're Never,
and Dandy g. Covino and I had to record the
show earlier in the day because we were traveling for Fox.
We're trying for ESPN at the time. We were at
the airport bar waiting for our flight to board, and boom.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
We look up at the TV.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
And it's us and the guy we're talking to at
the bar is commenting on us, like, what are these
doingiots talking about?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, we were talking to a professional wrestler.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
I remember.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I forget who it was though, is it what's her
name again? The girl with the black hair. She's kind
of pale, she's kind of hot. They made the movie
about her.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I forget, but yeah, we were interviewing her on the
show and these guys were talking about us to us,
and the guy didn't realize it was us until the
very end.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We were about to boil the fight, like you know
that's us up there, and he's like, holy yeah, so
true story.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
People's heads are up their ass is the point.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
You wanted that guy to be like the dude from
The Fugitive who's reading the newspaper and he turns it
over and he sees the picture of Harrison Ford, doctor
Richard Kimball, and then he looks up and he's like, oh,
that's the Fugitive, late doctor Richard Kimble. And then he
gets up and he goes in and tells a cop.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I guess my point.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I woulday it would be like if I'm talking to
you at a bar and I look up and there's
you on the TV. You would think I'd put two
and two it together. People's heads are up their ass.
It's like Bob from La Bamba.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Remember when Bob was watching Richie on TV and the
bartender shut it off.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
He's like, that duel is my brother?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
That my brother cares. Guy's like, yeah, I'm your white
Irish uncle. Get out here, buddy, listens. Yeah, five hundred
dollars aren't listens. I know what, let's go to Let's
go to profet for an update. We'll come back and
Kendo's got a fun dilemma tonight. What's up for fet?
Speaker 8 (34:15):
All right, guys. Pro Bowl rosters were announced today. We
have nineteen first time Pro Bowlers, including Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens. AFC quarterbacks are Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, and
Drake May. NFC has Matthew Stafford, CM Darland Dak Prescott.
Four teams have six Pro Bowlers, the forty nine Ers,
(34:35):
the Ravens, Broncos, and Seahawks. Although I got to say
forty nine Ers and Ravens both juicing their numbers a
little bit. The forty nine Ers are sending special teamer
Luke Gifford, a long snapper, and both the Ravens and
forty nine Ers have their fullbacks and their probably last
teams to the feature full backs Kyle Kylie Uchchecking and
Ricard for the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, Kyle us Check of the forty nine Ers will
be a Pro Bowler every year because I think he's
the only quote full back in the NFC.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
Yeah, it's a dying group and we're still getting guys,
to the full back position. We're trying to kneel down
this game here at the Bush's Baked Beans Boca Raton
Bowl twenty seven to twenty two, Louisville over Toledo. However,
things have gotten progressively more nasty as late hits are happening,
(35:22):
fights over the kneel downs, and we're waiting to see
what is going to happen with the venerable Boca Raton
Bowl and its reputation. This fight really tarnishing those things.
MRI results reveal Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy as a hairline
fracture in his hand from an injury he suffered on Sunday.
Kevin O'Connell says this puts him out for the Christmas
Day game against the Lions. Max Brosmer is in line
(35:45):
for the start. Vikings also claimed Brett Rippen off Waivers.
Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski said quarterback Deshaun Watson will
not be activated off the pup list and he will
not play in the twenty twenty five NFL season. The
Pirates and All Star first baseman outfielder Ryan O'Hearn are
reaching an agreement for a two year twenty nine million
dollar deal and Commander's quarterback Marcus Mariotto is held out
(36:08):
a practice for the second straight day. He remains in
concussion protocol. Guys, back to you, Thank you, proeses me.

in the air.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I'm in Idaho for the holidays, friends and family, all
that good stuff. It's a wonderful life as a classic,
but does it stand the test of time through the
eyes of younger people? And we're gonna tie that into sports,
So think about the classics and think about that question.
Does this still hold the test of time or do
(37:06):
we just hold it near and dear because we grew
up watching it. It's a wonderful life. We'll explain. Plus
we got prizes and more. Next hour, just stick around,

It's just not a great the greatest, It's just the
question the greatest.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No profet the sesame street read and I threw in
the old classic twelve twelve.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You know who?
Speaker 9 (39:10):
This big Mike Wills in here and he's like, do
you know who sings is?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I knew, Yeah, you actually do know who's Yeah, the monkeys,
that's not the bunkies.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
I started discussing. I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Well, if I was in studio and I said, I
do Mike any other brainbusters and I guess, yeah, I
get my guess.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I think I'm right.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Hold on, let's let's SAYIM go well, then I'll write
it down, because then you're gonna be like, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Know right now hold on, Chaka con No, I have
one more guess. Yeah, the Partridge Family. Nope, my guess.
I said, like the Jackson five or something. He's like
clothes but not really the.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Pointer sisters, Pointer sisters. Yeah really yeah yeah dude.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
See, man, you think I'm not You think I'm on
the History Channel for nothing. Man, Maybe he does know things. Yeah,
I know a bunch of useless nonsense. I was in
the disco Realm at least you know, yeah, you're singers.
I said, like Donna Summers, I said, I said, I
I thought Donna Summers too, I said, in the family Stone,
I said a name and all the Rando retro acts,
and he's like close porn sisters.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I believe Mike.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
I pulled the old fashion, which is not a dirty move.
The old fashion, I said, where you don't look something up,
you believe the guy at the bar. Remember those days
where some guy would just say something you believed them,
like I have sisters, so here it is, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Fact check it later out of respect. You don't fact
check it at the bar. It's kind of like like
a white family trying to be ethnic.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Partridge Family, Sesame Street Cove all right, hit us up
with your with your dilemma for tonight, because I think
this is actually interesting. I know you're trying to downplay,
but I think this is a really you put yourself
in a pickle, I think, so go ahead.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
First off, I want to say thanks to all the
feedback on the YouTube chat Covino and Rich f Sr,
Michelle m and Russ and Scott for Mayer and Kay
Rain and Joey Elbows everybody, Mike, Oliver Paige is right.
Page is who I was talking about before Rich du
wrestler fighting with my family soriah. So anyway, I'm reading
(41:17):
the feedback because you know it was Page. Now I
am with my girlfriend's family in Idaho and they're a
little younger than me, and I was shocked to find
out they've never seen It's a Wonderful Life. And now
I'm scared because they're like, let's watch it because I'm
the guy that suggested it, and I don't want all
(41:38):
this unnecessary pressure in case everybody hates it, like it
might be too slow moving for young people's eyes. So
now I'm thinking does it stand the test of time?
And if this is too old feeling for them. What
about classic games and moments that we.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Grew up with.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
It's a great thought. We'll go there.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
It's a wonderful life, and you're us ex sports moments.

(02:08):
chinooka and Rich, congratulations because your forty nine ers look unstoppable.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
To quote my Niner gang. The City Baby.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Rich carried the whole team last night.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Hey, yeah, the City.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
They looked really Look I'm outside looking in, right, I'm
not a forty nine ers guy, but I pay close
attention because my buddy Rich likes Subcity.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And what is it?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
A no punt November and December for these guys. They're unstoppable.
Their offense looks insane.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Their last punt was the very end of November. They
did have a buy in there, but it's still a
great status to say they haven't punted since the month
of November.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
More's head and Morse, they're just dropping the mall.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, he looks bored, doing.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Weird stretches, like he's just hanging.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And I will say this, I'm not all sold on
my Niners yet, but I will say they look explosive.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Hey, bro, I know you don't want to jinxed them
in any way.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You're get too ahead of yourself, right, you don't want
to be braggadocious and boastful after a big win. But dude,
I'm telling you, I don't think anybody could have beat
them last night. Philip Rivers looked great in his return.
I thought he did a great job. Those picks at
the end for both teams really didn't matter much. Rivers
showed a lot old man Rivers that was fun to
root for.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Props to him. He did everything he could.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Their defense couldn't do anything against the forty nine ers offense.
I'm not sure anyone could Kittle. You know, Kittle actually
had that other touchdown. They didn't even give it to him.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh okay, I'm watching with the sound off.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
That was no.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Kittle was out of the game with a you know
by that point, resting on that ankle.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'm schmoozing here in Idaho, but I'm watching the game
with no sound on. Will everyone's you know, singing along
to the Holiday classics?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
They just give me doing Christmas karaoke while he has
the game on in the background.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Dude, other families do sing along. Cards have all been said.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Board games and everything that's not my ste lo. So
I was sitting there watching the game, playing an old
maid with his mother in law. No, no, no, I'm
watching the game sound off, and I'm saying hi to everybody.
But yo, they just have this knack of moving the
ball down the field. When I saw Purdy and Rivers
connecting at the end of the game, I see a
(04:22):
young party saying, hey, man, I watched you growing up.
It's the non or playing with you as he quoted.
But for a rivers, I see him saying, hey, dude,
you're the real deal kid. You know you got some
real skill and it showed he's the perfect fit.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
For that team.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I never want to hear any criticism against this guy again.
They look solid, and I'm saying this all on behalf
of rich because he doesn't want to sound bost.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I didn't want to solid.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I didn't even want to wear forty nine Ers gear
today because I felt like it would be a little
too mostful because I'm I'm ily optimistic because they do play. Dude,
it's just as much their season as anybody else's, and
they're last on the list as far as teams that
people bring up. People are quick to bring up, you know,
the Bills or the Patriots. Dude, the forty nine Ers
(05:09):
are right in that mix, like DJ Khaled bro in
the mix.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
A big game.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Next Sunday night Primetime NBC, forty nine Ers are hosting
the Bears.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
They beat the Bears on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Then I feel like Danny is it safe to say
then I could say, all right, I'm buying in more
like I'm not. You know, just last night they were
just moving the ball where I looked too easy. I
am too easy, So easy, bro, he scored at will
I'm concerned about one thing, and I think Danny may
know where I'm going. Without Nick Bosa, without Fred Warner,
(05:46):
they're just putting no pressure on the quarterback. They scored
forty eight points, so it was like, oh wow, they
won by twenty something. Yeah, they gave You know, Philip
Rivers is one hundred and forty four years old and
he was sacked what once, Like there's no pressure by
a rookie.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
And there were even times where Philip Rivers rushed a
couple of his passes and you could see afterwards he
was upset, like I had a little more time, I
could have put my feet down better.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
The only criticism for a really good night as a
forty nine Ers fan is I don't know if you
get away with that versus Caleb Williams. I don't think
you get away with that versus Sam Darnold and other
teams in the NFC. In the playoffs, you got to
put pressure on the quarterback, and Philip Rivers was dude,
it was.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Great to watch. You know, it all worked out if
you're just a fan of football.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
My team looked great, but I didn't want Philip Rivers
to accumiliate it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So I think it was the best of both worlds
for me. My team looked awesome, and.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Philip Rivers really showed the world that yo, man, you're
never too old. And I was really happy for him
and Danny g putting on something funny.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He said his wife Brenda's.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Like, look at his Look at all his friends and
family in the luxury booth in the box.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, no, that's just his immediate hiling.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Those are just his kids.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Is that wild?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And you know what if you heard the tail end
of the Great Dan Byer Sam played this farewell montage
to Philip Rivers because maybe they were all there to
say goodbye to his dad's return. Well, because they're out
of it now, right, We're almost mathematically right. I mean
it's they're out of it unless like Houston or the
(07:21):
Jags lose out and something crazy happens, which won't happen.
So you got to ask yourself, is there a reason
for Philip Rivers to touch a football again. No, there
really isn't why I put his health at risk. He came,
he saw, he didn't conquer, but he looked great in
the process. I thought he looked really good for especially
for a guy in the age I didn't play for
(07:43):
five years.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
If you're going to try to beat the Seahawks and
the forty nine Ers back to back to keep your
playoff hopes alive, I don't know if any backup quarterback
in the National Football League could tackle upun.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Attended that that obstacle. I mean, if you said, hey,
Philip Rivers, come in, we're playing you know, the Cardinals,
and we're playing the Jets.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Then you're like, all right, well we could do this.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Did you think any backup quarterback Danny in the NFL
is coming in to beat Seattle in Seattle and.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Then beat the forty nine ers. That's a really tough ass.
That's a tall order.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I think Philip Rivers did everything possible. In fact, there
were all the signs that it was it for him.
Not only did he have his whole family on hand. Afterwards,
he waited around to give a little bro hug and
wap up de Winters, who intercepted that pass, which, by
the way, I'm not making excuses for old man Rivers,
that was not his fault.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That tight end.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Totally telegraphed that so turnaround, he did no help in selling.
He oversold it where he gave away the play like
he turned his head around. He let d Winters jump
that route. Terrible play by that tight end.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
It was.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It didn't help Rivers by any means. But I think
we all reaped the benefits of a fun, high scoring
Monday night game. We saw Philip Rivers play hard and
not get embarrassed. I don't think anyone wanted to see
him get embarrassed unless you hate the Colts or Philip
Rivers for some weird reason, and you saw the real
deal of an offense. You're right, Rich if your team
makes some defensive tweaks, they're right in it, man, Yeah,
(09:18):
right in it. And that was a really good showing
for brock Party. He's back his past few games. He's back.
They're clicking at just the right time. They're gelling like
Magellan as they said in the nineties, and or as
doctor Schulz said in the nineties, they're jelling at just
the right time.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Collective soul style.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I think a big task that I think we all
know it's happening. So let's just put a little extra
highlighter on that Sunday night game Niners hosting the Bears.
If the Niners win that game Week eighteen against the
Seahawks will be for the one seed.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's a great game, man, which is I'd be shocked
if the Bear and now the Bears again, I've been
looking good. We just we've been under a them all season.
I was just really sold on how hard your forty
nine ers were clicking. If their defense could stop the Bears,
they win that game. I think there's another factor. How
bad is Kittle's ankle?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He downplayed in the post game, saying, hey, listen, it's
not a high ankle sprain, but yeah, I'm in some
pain and we will see, Like, uh, profet, is there
any update on Kittle's ankle?
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Funny you should say that. I just saw that that
Fowler is saying Kittle is dealing with what is being
called a quote mid to low ankle sprain right now.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
So maybe as a decoy, maybe he rests up, maybe
he gets some reps. I think against the Bears at home,
such a game of importance, like, well, again, this is
the the importance is so high. So if Kittle could play,
he'll be out there. But I guess you just got
to put him in one of those cryo chambers for
the next five days and don't bet his his ankle
(10:51):
feels better, tape it up, a little brace or something.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You need him, You definitely need I mean, of course
you do.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He's such a part of what makes that offense work, blocking,
catching passes.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
George Kittle, Sam, I know you're a fan Iowa boy.
He's the heart of that team of beast.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
He's so tenacious, he's.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That he's got that typical tight end quality. A great
tight end has to be a gamer, and he's he's
the epitome of every of what every team should want
in their tight end for sure. So yeah, let's just
hope he's okay because that just makes everything more exciting.
Rich I feel like we've downplayed the forty nine ers
for a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, but you know what, because, as I believe Trey
Aikman and Joe Buck even pointed out, when Nick Bosa
and Fred Warner went down and Big Trent, Big Trent
Williams talked about this after the game when he sat
down with Scott Van Pelt. When a guy like Fred
Warner goes down, who's essentially your quarterback on defense, he's
your team leader, everyone in the locker room gets down
(11:51):
because the reality is you're feeling like, oh, man, like
we're good, but we just lost, like the best player
on our team. And he said, Kyle Shanahan is such
a great coach that he will He has done such
a great job of telling this team like no, no, no.
While Fred Wanner is the best in the game, you
guys could still do this. And props to Kyle Shanahan.
(12:11):
As brock Party said last night, he pulled out the
whole Shanahan playbook. Last night they didn't have to punt once.
So I'm done hanging from my Niners suavos. But I
do have a question for you. After the game last night, I.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Saw I said no to giant Jenga because I don't
do that. Oh after the karaoke they broke out the Jenga.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, I'm like, I don't do that. Would you kidding me?
Playing apples to apples, this cavino, this category, No, I
don't do that.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Honestly, I watch about what they busted when they busted
out the UNO cards.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
You were first in.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Line, though, Now you know what, Danny, those things just
make me. I don't know, they make me feel so
awkward inside. Like family fun time like that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It's just not my val I don't care why family
fun time with your girlfriend and her family would be
weird if they said, just I.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Just I don't know. I feel extra vulnerable. Like you know,
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
You makes you feel vulnerable?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, I don't like it. No, I don't have the
attentions of it. I really don't. I get so bored.
I get so bored from those games, dude. That's why
they're called bored. Game the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
If I told you you were playing charades or something
where you really had to put yourself out there and
act out something, that's one thing.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But you know, makes you feel vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I hate. I don't like kind of what my here's
the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I don't like playing with my own family, let alone
like someone else's family.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Like?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
No, thanks, dude, yo, you you get anxiety to drop
like a draw four on her dad or something.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, I don't like the whole vibe. Of it, and
and they're in my girlfriend's family.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I love them. They're great.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They're listening on ninety nine to nine Idaho right Fox
Sports Radio, Idaho. And they're a big time board game family, Like,
let's bust out the board games.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Let's you know, my pal that I work with at
serious XM to call her family every time the holidays hit.
I see on like her ig story, like they're playing
Yatzi and Monopoly.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And some people I say Nazi. No, thank well, don't
say Nazi.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't mean it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I don't mean an as. I mean I think you
should it to start ot z. Yeah, well yeah, not
that kind.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But yeah, some people are board game families. Some people
like to just chill, have a drink and listen to music.
Other families, you know, you could say, equally boring is
a bunch of lumpy dudes like your uncles and dad's
not talking, just sitting scratching their belly watching a game.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
That's sort of boring too, though.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, you know, I'm a good audience. You know, I
sit there with a drink and chat and laugh. You know,
call me old fashioned rich, but I'd rather sit there
with old fashion and share a fun conversation, you know,
so that's what I did after the game.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But yeah, so you were onto something.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
So after the game when Cavino was saying, yeah, don't
I don't do Jenga and you were trying to dip away.
I saw two legendary running backs, Christian McCaffrey, beast and
his beautiful wife and daughter, Like who's living a better life?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And that guy man Olivia Colpo McCaffrey power couple.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, he's just he's so great.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, really great game and as you saw last night,
like I said, I couldn't I could see, but I
couldn't hear anything.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You ever had it right out there with the greats?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You ever have those debates like nature and nurture in
the world of sports, right, Like like.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
His dad, Ed.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
McCaffrey, great football receiver back in our childhood, Have you
ever seen what Ed McCaffrey would have his kid do
we saw we saw on receiver am Mara Saint Brown's
dad's like the most militant he's been kids doing push
ups and bench res when he's five. McCaffrey was always told,
(15:48):
like you have to have an early bedtime. This guy's
been Christian McCaffrey from a time he was a little boy.
Always knew that he wasn't gonna be a party kid.
He wasn't gonna be drinking and drugging. He knew that
he was going to go to sleep like eight pm
every day. He's going to work out. From the time
he was a little child.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He puts the work in and it shows.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Everything from his diet, Like this kid was probably on
a nutrition plan when he was nine. So you see
McCaffrey out there and he's wapping up in bro hugging
Jonathan Taylor and they do a jersey swap, and it
seemed like a really beautiful moment.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
What happens and how often do you think it happens
when somebody of I'm.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
From Jersey rich That's when back in the day, it
wasn't like we didn't exchange shirts.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
We exchanged gold chains.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Bro, Oh, that's the jersey swap. Yeah, you exchange Italian
gold horns back in my nineties Guido days. Yeah, but
I really do want to know, I said, sut of
probably embarrassing, but how do you work your way out
of the request for.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
A jersey swap?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
But it's not someone of a high enough magnitude.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You're not saying that, You're not implying that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, I think these are two these are two guys
with the jerseys say that's a great one right there.
But I feel you that's why that happened recently. Bro,
I'm pretty sure that happened where someone got denied. Danny
g double checked it. I feel like I saw that recently,
or I thought I had that thought.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like if you see a Steph Curry and like a
Giannis or someone I don't know doing a jersey swapp
or in the NFL, it happens more because they play
each other less.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But if you were to see it's got to be
a mutual respect.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
If you would have see like some let's say some
young tight end that we don't know, or some young
defenders like yo yo kittle jersey swap, Like could he
be like, yeah, nah, can you say no, it's dam
that's really you know, it paints, it paints, it paints you.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Will I'm good, weird, No, No thanks, I'm good, No thanks,
I'm good, thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Tim.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You know you could respectfully decline the offer. You really could.
It's like, I don't know how to how to put it, like, Rich,
your time is of value, right, Can you go and
hang with everybody that you work with?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, you can't, cove.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
I do remember last season in the NBA, SGA denied
a jersey swap with Miles Bridges.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
See you I remember that.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah, I remember that being a headline.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
So I feel like it has happened before.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But my point in saying that was like, there's just
an unwritten understanding where let's say a higher up at
Fox Sports Rich invited you to a holiday get together,
You're probably gonna be like, yeah, you know, I gotta
make time as higher up or a colleague of yours,
(18:48):
of on the equal playing field. Right, If Stu Goats
or Dan Byer or somebody here Colin invited you to
a holiday party, were like, yeah, I'm gonna have to
make time. But if so, I'm young kid is having
a little get together at his apartment or something, you
might not be as willing.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And it's not because you don't like it sounds a
little big timing.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
It sounds big timy, but are you I'm just trying
to put it in everyday terms, right, Like you're really
not gonna make that same attempt to make it happen.
You might do your best, but there's an understanding that
you might not be able to do that because your
time is of value. It's not because you're too cool.
If so, you're not gonna just jersey swap with everybody
(19:30):
that requests it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
If THEOV or Joe Rogan was like, Yo, come on
my podcast, you're dropping everything. I mean, if Joe Schmo's like, hey, man,
can you do my podcast, you might be like, yo,
I'd like to, but let me see if it works.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, you can't just it's a little big timy. But
you can't just say yes to everybody. Hey, when you
say yes to something, you're saying no to something else.
If Sga is saying yes to this guy, he's saying
no to someone else who.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Might be a little more worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And when I say worthy, I mean like James Yes,
someone who's paid their dues, someone on.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
That level worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hey, as the game goes, as they played last night,
apples to apples, rich, it's got to be apples to apples. Yeah,
it can't be someone who hasn't. It's got to be
an honor.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
For the other guy. What does the other guy get
out of it. Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Like if it was like Christian McCaffrey and the backup,
backup running back for the Colts, it'll be like you're
gonna give McCaffrey keep.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
A charity situation, Like, hey, that guy's got to earn that.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Do the players have to have like a list in
their back pocket of Madden ratings?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I mean, you know what, here's how they have to
approach it though. Right, let's say it's a special team nobody.
Hey McCaffrey, I'm a big fan. I'm I really adore
and admire everything you do, Like there has to be
a little more to it, like, hey, I'm only in
the NFL because of you, and you're making that dude's
childhood dream come true.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know that's really it.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You have to really humble yourself to expect that in return.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I know it sounds.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Crazy because people don't like hierarchy in today's world, but
there is one. I'm sorry, that's just how life works,
and I know people don't like that. It's like these
a lot of and I'm not calling out the weien Eels,
they're great, but they expect to be on on Well,
it's actually the bottom of the totem pole because the
bottom is the more powerful, right, But they expect to
be right up there playing in the big leagues without
(21:27):
putting their dues in. You got to put your dues in, man,
That's just really what it is, Just an interesting thought.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I saw.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I saw the jersey swap, and I'm like, that's a
nice equal jersey swap.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I'm sure there's times where a player's like, oh, that's
a good one.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And you know, we all start off, dude, I would
never expect that as a young man coming up.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You got to earn earn it. You got to earn it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
At least those are the rules we were taught and
we played by young people have different expectations and every
path is different. But uh, I think you respectfully decline
unless there's no unless there's no one, if you're not
giving it to anyone else. Maybe I don't know your thoughts.
You know, no one likes to hear those things. But like,
let's say you're at a club in Vegas when you're
(22:09):
a younger guy.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Hey, man, like.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
They bring they let the hot girls in. They don't
let the dudes or the ugly girls. It's you know,
like there's there. Yeah, yeah, r everybody right. Nobody likes it,
but just how life works.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
No one needs to hear those things, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
It's kind of true.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Hey, listen, we have more covin on rich. Congrats to
the forty nine ers last night, putting themselves in a
category now of like, ooh, teams that you might be
scared of going into the postseason.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think they solidify themselves in the conversation for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Man, I was.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I was really impressed with what I saw. Just like
I said, they made it look really easy to move
the ball down the field. It's like every play they executed,
every play, man, the only weakness is zero pressure on
the opposing quarterback.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And I'm talking about the offense.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And we'll see how that works out against Kayleb Williams
next week. That is your game of the week by far.
So we'll get to uh, we'll get to that. We'll
talk about some Christmas classics. Cavino has a dilemma. He's
not playing scategories tonight. But no, there's a uh.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
What's that other week one that people that Shannon brought
and she brings all the time. What's that other one
that people love to play as a newer one. Oh
what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, that's the other one.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Uh oh man, what is it called? Spiny knows what
I'm talking about. I don't play any of those games.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's that's the dirty version of apples to apples.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
A yeah against humanity?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Talks against humanity?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, no, thanks, man, I'd rather, uh, like I said,
rather have a conversation than play these awkward games with people.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, Cavino has an old school dilemma, and I think
you guys are gonna love it, and and it somehow
ties into classic sports. We'll get to that. Ben Simmons,
the Fisherman, We'll get to that. Somebody random stories today,
we'll get to all of it right here. Cavino Rich

like in sports radio and TV you hear it all
the time.

For the last I would say, playoffs in practice practice,

Speaker 1 (29:36):
So I just want you to see that the jump

the number one most watched boxing match of all time
Jake Paul Tyson last year one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Eight million in peace damn.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
So you know, hate him, love him. Jake Paul brings
the eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
He really does. Man, it's changing the game.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Like when you're talking four point something million, that's like
baby games compared to the forty and one hundred million
that we're tuning in for these other Netflix events still
Paul Events, and now I want to talk about things
that we have to watch this holiday season. Can I
first just say this Rich, because I forgot to mention
this on our Patreon today. Shout out to the Carls
(30:28):
of Patreon, the Covino and Rich listeners on our Patreon.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm going to be on the History Channel tonight. Yeah, buddy,
what he talking? What do you know about history?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Not a whole lot, but I'm making it and I'll
be on tonight with a brand new episode.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Danny Trejo's Oh Mysteries Unearthed.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I think you're going to talk about that time President
taff got caught in a bathtub.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
You're not doing that special on the History Channel. No, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
So tune in tonight the History Channel just for something
to watch because I forgot to mention it earlier today and.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I forgot to mention that the Road to Milan runs
through Saint Louis. See Ilia milanins Alyssa, lou and Amberg
Line compete in the twenty twenty sixth Priviaging US Figure
Skating Championships.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
That's January seventh.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
To the eleventh.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
If you're interested, be there as the twenty twenty sixth
US Olympic Figure Skating team is named Live tickets available
at US figure Skating dot org.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Hell yeah, look at that man. So thank you guys
again for hanging out with us, but look out for me.
Tonight on Found Fortunes is the episode called Found Fortunes
on Mysteries on Earth with Danny Trejo History Channel. And
then after that, right after I boast in front of
the in laws and hey, look at me, as I
point at myself, gottnardos DiCaprio, I have a question.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Do you let them though you're on or do you
just casually put on the History Channel and wait for
like your father in law to be like.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Truthfully, I'll probably I'll probably be at the beginner. If
you know what, man Rich, I wish people cared. Nobody cares,
Nobody gives it deadly squat. Imagine if your dad was
on TV or someone you knew growing up, the whole
family would be around to watch.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No one gives a turd about your boy.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
I think Covino runs to the bathroom, puts TV makeup on,
sits down in the same outfit that he's going to
be on the TV show.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, strangers at the bar, Matt are going to care
more than people that know me, all.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Right, So there there was a funny time. Can I
just tell a quick story. We'll go to Profet's update
after the script story and now, no, we're going to.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Talk about what you need to watch tonight. Okay, classic,
Now we did.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
We did a TV show for ESPN and it would
air at different times. Now We're never, Now We're Never,
and Dandy g. Covino and I had to record the
show earlier in the day because we were traveling for Fox.
We're trying for ESPN at the time. We were at
the airport bar waiting for our flight to board, and boom.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
We look up at the TV.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
And it's us and the guy we're talking to at
the bar is commenting on us, like, what are these
doingiots talking about?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, we were talking to a professional wrestler.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
I remember.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I forget who it was though, is it what's her
name again? The girl with the black hair. She's kind
of pale, she's kind of hot. They made the movie
about her.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I forget, but yeah, we were interviewing her on the
show and these guys were talking about us to us,
and the guy didn't realize it was us until the
very end.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We were about to boil the fight, like you know
that's us up there, and he's like, holy yeah, so
true story.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
People's heads are up their ass is the point.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
You wanted that guy to be like the dude from
The Fugitive who's reading the newspaper and he turns it
over and he sees the picture of Harrison Ford, doctor
Richard Kimball, and then he looks up and he's like, oh,
that's the Fugitive, late doctor Richard Kimble. And then he
gets up and he goes in and tells a cop.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I guess my point.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I woulday it would be like if I'm talking to
you at a bar and I look up and there's
you on the TV. You would think I'd put two
and two it together. People's heads are up their ass.
It's like Bob from La Bamba.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Remember when Bob was watching Richie on TV and the
bartender shut it off.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
He's like, that duel is my brother?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
That my brother cares. Guy's like, yeah, I'm your white
Irish uncle. Get out here, buddy, listens. Yeah, five hundred
dollars aren't listens. I know what, let's go to Let's
go to profet for an update. We'll come back and
Kendo's got a fun dilemma tonight. What's up for fet?
Speaker 8 (34:15):
All right, guys. Pro Bowl rosters were announced today. We
have nineteen first time Pro Bowlers, including Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens. AFC quarterbacks are Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, and
Drake May. NFC has Matthew Stafford, CM Darland Dak Prescott.
Four teams have six Pro Bowlers, the forty nine Ers,
(34:35):
the Ravens, Broncos, and Seahawks. Although I got to say
forty nine Ers and Ravens both juicing their numbers a
little bit. The forty nine Ers are sending special teamer
Luke Gifford, a long snapper, and both the Ravens and
forty nine Ers have their fullbacks and their probably last
teams to the feature full backs Kyle Kylie Uchchecking and
Ricard for the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, Kyle us Check of the forty nine Ers will
be a Pro Bowler every year because I think he's
the only quote full back in the NFC.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
Yeah, it's a dying group and we're still getting guys,
to the full back position. We're trying to kneel down
this game here at the Bush's Baked Beans Boca Raton
Bowl twenty seven to twenty two, Louisville over Toledo. However,
things have gotten progressively more nasty as late hits are happening,
(35:22):
fights over the kneel downs, and we're waiting to see
what is going to happen with the venerable Boca Raton
Bowl and its reputation. This fight really tarnishing those things.
MRI results reveal Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy as a hairline
fracture in his hand from an injury he suffered on Sunday.
Kevin O'Connell says this puts him out for the Christmas
Day game against the Lions. Max Brosmer is in line
(35:45):
for the start. Vikings also claimed Brett Rippen off Waivers.
Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski said quarterback Deshaun Watson will
not be activated off the pup list and he will
not play in the twenty twenty five NFL season. The
Pirates and All Star first baseman outfielder Ryan O'Hearn are
reaching an agreement for a two year twenty nine million
dollar deal and Commander's quarterback Marcus Mariotto is held out
(36:08):
a practice for the second straight day. He remains in
concussion protocol. Guys, back to you, Thank you, proeses me.

in the air.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I'm in Idaho for the holidays, friends and family, all
that good stuff. It's a wonderful life as a classic,
but does it stand the test of time through the
eyes of younger people? And we're gonna tie that into sports,
So think about the classics and think about that question.
Does this still hold the test of time or do
(37:06):
we just hold it near and dear because we grew
up watching it. It's a wonderful life. We'll explain. Plus
we got prizes and more. Next hour, just stick around,
we got more Cavino and Rich Next isn't there a

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Stop over hyping it.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
It's just not a great the greatest, It's just the
question the greatest.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No profet the sesame street read and I threw in
the old classic twelve twelve.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You know who?
Speaker 9 (39:10):
This big Mike Wills in here and he's like, do
you know who sings is?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I knew, Yeah, you actually do know who's Yeah, the monkeys,
that's not the bunkies.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
I started discussing. I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Well, if I was in studio and I said, I
do Mike any other brainbusters and I guess, yeah, I
get my guess.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I think I'm right.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Hold on, let's let's SAYIM go well, then I'll write
it down, because then you're gonna be like, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Know right now hold on, Chaka con No, I have
one more guess. Yeah, the Partridge Family. Nope, my guess.
I said, like the Jackson five or something. He's like
clothes but not really the.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Pointer sisters, Pointer sisters. Yeah really yeah yeah dude.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
See, man, you think I'm not You think I'm on
the History Channel for nothing. Man, Maybe he does know things. Yeah,
I know a bunch of useless nonsense. I was in
the disco Realm at least you know, yeah, you're singers.
I said, like Donna Summers, I said, I said, I
I thought Donna Summers too, I said, in the family Stone,
I said a name and all the Rando retro acts,
and he's like close porn sisters.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I believe Mike.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
I pulled the old fashion, which is not a dirty move.
The old fashion, I said, where you don't look something up,
you believe the guy at the bar. Remember those days
where some guy would just say something you believed them,
like I have sisters, so here it is, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Fact check it later out of respect. You don't fact
check it at the bar. It's kind of like like
a white family trying to be ethnic.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Partridge Family, Sesame Street Cove all right, hit us up
with your with your dilemma for tonight, because I think
this is actually interesting. I know you're trying to downplay,
but I think this is a really you put yourself
in a pickle, I think, so go ahead.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
First off, I want to say thanks to all the
feedback on the YouTube chat Covino and Rich f Sr,
Michelle m and Russ and Scott for Mayer and Kay
Rain and Joey Elbows everybody, Mike, Oliver Paige is right.
Page is who I was talking about before Rich du
wrestler fighting with my family soriah. So anyway, I'm reading
(41:17):
the feedback because you know it was Page. Now I
am with my girlfriend's family in Idaho and they're a
little younger than me, and I was shocked to find
out they've never seen It's a Wonderful Life. And now
I'm scared because they're like, let's watch it because I'm
the guy that suggested it, and I don't want all
(41:38):
this unnecessary pressure in case everybody hates it, like it
might be too slow moving for young people's eyes. So
now I'm thinking does it stand the test of time?
And if this is too old feeling for them. What
about classic games and moments that we.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Grew up with.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
It's a great thought. We'll go there.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
It's a wonderful life, and you're us ex sports moments.
Will discuss next right here, Cavino and Rich
