Anytime there's like bad weather conditions like I don't want
to see a leak or something. You know, there's always

midweek or major. And right now again, I'm in Idaho
with my future in laws.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Rich, what does that mean? I mean, that's what is that?
That's a big giveaway. I don't know. What are you
supposed to say? My girlfriend's family?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
There you go, Well, future in laws would insinuate you're
getting engaged.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I mean, I don't. I don't put a lot of
emphastists on that. It's just the same, really, right, I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Laws, It's not really an expressions ring ring box in
your pocket or a potato what's.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That under the tree? All right? So anyway, stop spreading rumors.
Don't do it on Christmas though, because then you can't
take it back because yeah, exact now future in laws. Huh,
oh my god, you're so corny. You're just first tradition.
You're the guys. When you say that's my girlfriend's family,
what do you say? You just say it's the same
(03:09):
you said my family.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Future in laws completely insinuate your getting married.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Just call the in laws.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's like, it's fine, corny. If I said in laws,
does that mean anything? This is my girlfriend's family, right,
I'm here with them.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Fox Sports Boys ninety nine point nine is going wild
right now.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, man is getting a local boise reporter outside your
house getting your radio host and your potato queen are
getting married.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh wow, yes, so her family.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Radio tycoon and local potato girl this Potato twenty twelve.
So I realized that none of her family, well not
her entire family, but her sister, her brother in law,
a lot of the younger people had never seen It's
a Wonderful Life. And I felt like the old guy,
(03:59):
like they made it seem like it was my favorite
movie and it's one of for some wonderful which is
what I'm like, which is what you promised to give
your girlfriend in the future. You guys are corny, dude,
So you know, I'm like, hey, hold on, I'm not
from nineteen forty six. That's when the movie came out.
It's a classic. I'm surprised you guys have never seen it.
And they made it out like, oh, he wants us
to watch it. We should watch it for Steve. And
(04:21):
I'm like, no, I don't know what. Well, hold up,
don't watch it for me, because then I'm gonna be
insulted that. You know, you're looking at your phone and
you're taking bathroom breaks and you're chatting over the movie
like I you watch it if you want to watch it,
And I will say this, we have not yet to
watch it. We have not watched it. In fact, we
watched it Dave Chappelle Special last night. But now I
(04:41):
got all this pressure because they are saying, yeah, we're
gonna watch It's a Wonderful Life with Steve. I'm like, yo, stop,
what's that for me? Like, I don't want you to
do anything for me. You should have seen it a
long time ago.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So you gonna go from Edgy Stand Up Special to
nineteen forty six black and white Christmas movie?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, yeah, because it's it's a slurwer moving movie. And
we put that on the last night, late at night.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The cigarette smoking in both, yeah, exactly, that's the only commonality.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
But you know what, can you know brings up a
good point? Movies, music, sports moments. There are things that
in your mind, dude, there's a freaking classic. How could
someone not appreciate it? But when you show it to
your kids, or a younger girlfriend or tim to be fiance,
or anyone younger in your life, it might not translate.
(05:30):
And I noticed this for the first time years ago
when my nieces and nephew were younger. I was like,
you guys want to watch a scary movie? And they're like, yeah,
Uncle Rich, And I was like, you know, we're gonna
watch Grimulins. I sat down my nieces and nephew, who
are now like grown teenagers, are like they're in college,
but I remember when they were little. I thought I
(05:53):
was going to open their eyes to a legendary classic movie.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I was like, dude, who want they want? They'd want
a magua for Christmas? Yo. They were like, Uncle Rich,
you sucked. This is the cheesiest movie ever. They booed
me and I asked. As I watched it, I was like,
oh my god, this is bad. It's like I stated
(06:17):
on slow the special effects are terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
We'll go back once in a while and you looks
like it looks like something from the early eighties, like blurry,
it came in blurry.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You watch something from your childhood that you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Know how movies coming high different, Okay, came in blurry
eighties blurry.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Watch something from back then and you have such fun
memories of something that was complete trash. Like I remember
going back and watching reruns of shows that I loved
as a kid. I'll name two of them that are
garbage that as a little boy, Rich Davis me loved.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But truthfully, the shows you're about to mention were garbage.
Then you're just a little kid though, see you're your
expectations were low.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, but I mean these were successful shows that rent.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's classics that stand the test of time. Perfect Strangers
is not a classic coffee show from the eighties.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I thought Belki and Larry making Bibby Bopkaz was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It was not. Yeah, because you're a nose pick an
eight year old. What do you know, Willie. I thought
ALF was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I went back and I watched an episode of ALF
once and I'm like, this is nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Most of us thought that was cheesy when it was on. Yeah,
yeah it was. It was cheesy. Yeah. The difference chezy
then means even cheesier.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Now, I'll give you classics then should stand the test
of time, but not all do. And that's how I
feel about Like, dude, Back to the Future came out
in nineteen eighty five. It's still great today. Yeah, because
classics stand the test of time. It's a Wonderful Life
came out in nineteen forty six, and it's in black
and white, and I think younger eyes see anything like
that and they're immediately tuned out because it's not crystal
(07:53):
clear clarity.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's just it looks old.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It looks slow, and they don't It doesn't register to
their weenial social media eyes. You know, it just looks
They won't even give it a chance. Point is keep it.
Like my kids liked Goonies and I thought that was cool.
They were like, yeah, this is cool because it's an
adventure kid's fun.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Time on movie.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, I'm not surprised by that, but I'm gonna upset
a lot of people when I say this.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Kids want fast moving, fast acting. Let me upset a
lot of people, the nerds out there.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
When I was younger, I was certainly not the coolest kid,
but my family was not a Star Wars family.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Still aren't. We're just not a Star Wars family.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
My wife likes Star Wars, but growing up, my brother
and sister and my family we weren't into it. So
when I was older, I investigated Star Wars because everyone
I knew was like, yeah, Star Wars the best. If
you watched the original nineteen seventy something Star Wars now
for the first time, I promise you you'd be terribly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
No, No, that's lasphemy. Yeah, man, I don't know. Classics
tend to test the time. That's my theory.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
They were so ahead of their time with those movies
Rich that that's one of the reasons why the acting,
the storyline, the special effect.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Are you kidding, man, it's not.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I think you also have to explain to whoever's watching,
like you have to realize, guys, Yeah, this might look
a little dated, but these were the innovators, the pioneers,
the first imagine seeing something like this for the first.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And when we were kids, the cool the coolest special
effect when we were kids was large Marge's face like
we've come along, We've come a long way.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I'm not saying Star Wars is bad. What I'm saying
is watching it. You kind of did say watch you know,
you know what. I guess You're right, I do. I
did that gets Some think it stinks watching it now.
You can't get through the first one. It stinks, it does.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I think it's just you're bored by it.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
There there was more storylines going on in older films,
and so to Covino's point, I think it was Cocoa Melon,
where I read that they change the shot like eight
times in a few seconds because the kids nowadays they
need the screen to constantly change the regulation.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You're right, Danny G. There's the show Coco Melon.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
If you got little kids, Coco Melons like a very
popular kid show. They change frames. I believe every three
seconds something absurd where it's because the kid's attentions like
boom bam.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know when I started noticing this, I remember showing
my daughter Mary Poppins and you.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Think a kid's gonna chim Chimaru. Yeah, Like, it just
felt slow. It felt so snow and old.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And it was that song that the Manhatter guy singing
when he's floating around. By the time that song came on,
my kid was sleeping. And you know what, they start
off those older movies with the credits, so the kids
bored before the movie even start.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Dude, my kids love Wicked.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
We went to go see Wicked obviously as a good
dat I'm like, let's watch Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
They loved the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
But I had to fast forward the first minute and
a half because it's open credits of who's in the movie.
There's like two minutes of opening credits, like is it over?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
What are the words? I see? What are why words?
When does it start?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I'm like, oh, geez, you know you know what they
need to start backwards doing like you know how with
podcasts you can listen at like one and a half
or two time speed.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
They need to do that with old movies you need
to be able to like there needs to be away,
you want the mar.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What the more right man in town? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Right, and then it's just everything moves it two times
the speed and you can listen to it and then
it's like it's over in half the time they need.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You're right, it's about like a podcast or like a
I know a lot of baseball networks like s n
Y and Yes for the Yankees could be know and
I'm sure Spectrum for the Dodgers' ness in mess in
all the they do the like a two and a
half three hour game, they do some type of like cutout,
they cut out the fat.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And it's like a half hour game. The condensed version
is great. Yeah, so based on this, you know, what
do you think about It's a wonderful life? Is it
a fail? Am I setting myself up for failure. Are
they going to be bored seeing through younger eyes? Does
it not stand to test the time I look at it,
I really look at it like a timeless story of
life lessons and what the holiday really means. And I
(12:20):
think classics never die. I think it's the Wizard of
Oz of Christmas movies. I really do. But then again,
I don't want that pressure and vouching for it, and
I don't want them to be bored, and it's all
my fault, and I don't want to be.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Booed the way your nieces and nephews booed you, Rich
when you show them Gremlins.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
But think about this, if certain movies and even to us,
certain movies right that maybe your mom watched, are boring
to us, Like, man, I don't know. Do those sports
highlights that we cherish, that we saw, that we watched,
that we grew up thinking we're the coolest do those games?
Do those moments also not translate because.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
They look so old.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You could see a highlight from the nineties and it
looks old and blurry, and a kid today I just think, yeah,
that's weak. Or even the moves like I reference this
to you the other day, Rich like when we saw
Magic Johnson making those moves the first time you saw
him making those moves, the first time you saw someone
play that way.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
So you're blown away by Magic Johnson. Nobody hid today sees.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That on and one videos and one on one competitions
and kids on social media every minute of the day.
It doesn't hit the same way.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And it looks old Magic. That's kind of laying dad.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
No look past in the eighties was something we had
never seen before. Magic's on a breakaway and this is
the ball off like not looking at all.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It was like, oh my god, no, we remember were
like a no look past. Right.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You want to talk about that Lway documentary, So I'm
gonna watch it tonight. He was released on Netflix Monday.
And when they got to the part where Elway did
the helicopter, I think that was Super Bowl thirty two
in my mind as as a little kid watching that.
He helicoptered way high off the ground into the end zone.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Same Danny, that's all same thing.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
That's the Lord Like, that's what I think of. But
it was just to get a first down. It was
right right inside the five yard line. Wasn't for a touchdown.
And also he got like ankle high almost of carel.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
My memory of it was different than the reality. You're right,
because we're kids, our perspectives off. Steve Mann one nine
nine says nostalgia is a drug, and yeah, when kids
see it from their younger perspective, it doesn't hit in
the same way.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Not to take anything away from Elway, because he was
such a gamer in that Super Bowl, wanted it so
bad and it was awesome how he took the ball
and ran. He was an older guy, he was battling injuries,
but in my mind as a kid, that was one
of the most awesome quarterback runs ever. And now watching
that documentary, I was like, yeah, it was cool, but
we've seen bigger, faster, stronger quarterbacks running the football. Now
(14:59):
that's it's weird.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I just googled John Elway doing the helicopter and I
got something else.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
There's footage of that.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Yeah, I think that was far bro farv coodn't helicopter?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
That was weird? You know, like a mad dog.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Will like bring up Bob Coozy all the time, Bob,
and then you'll look at the highlights and Bob Coosey
was playing a bunch of goofy white guys. He had
no competition, and you're not really impressed with it. That's
how your kids look like. Look at Mike Tyson highlight
and they're like, yeah, but that look who he's fighting.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
The way he's fighting some bum by the way, if
you looked at a Bob Coosey clip when you were
a kid, it would be the equivalent of looking at
something from like the two thousands.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, I'm telling you that. That's that's the age difference.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
These movies, these highlights, these sports moments. Forget about an
entire game. Think of like the greatest game, the Flu Game.
Think about the greatest game you mentioned Brett Farv, Brett
Farv's game when he when his dad died and he
threw for a million yards. Think of a legendary game.
A kid today would never even want to sit through
it because it looks old. As simple as that, it
(16:08):
could be the greatest game. They don't care because it
doesn't work with them. It's not enough stimulation. That's the
shame of it. My kids watch it.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
But you remember I told the story a while back,
how I showed my kids the Mets eighty six game
six gets by Buckner and my kids like, Dad is like,
it's all blurry, Like is it like, is something wrong?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It's all blurry? I'm like no.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
But hey, rich, you remember when you were a kid,
you thought life was in black and white because all
your Grandpappy's pictures and movies were in black and white.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
My grandparents would tell me a story, I would picture
it in black and white. I thought your kids probably think.
Your kids probably think we grew up in the blurry era. Dad,
When you were a kid, was everything just blurry? You
ask a college kid now, you ever see where they
ask a college athlete's like, what makes someone old? And
they're like, yeah, when they were born in the nineteen hundreds, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So basically, the question is if classics like It's a
Wonderful Life might not stand in the test of time.
I'm not sure if it does. I haven't really put
it to the test yet, and I don't think it will.
I really don't. That's why I'm hesitant to these moments
that we cherished growing up in the world of sports,
Like Danny g said, the John l a helicopter, Like,
(17:22):
we have this vision of this legendary moment in our brain.
Kids today would hold home at this moment, and you
feel insulted as a result.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
It's just how it.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Is, Coch when you think of sports movies, to combine them,
both movies and sports. And by the way, I'm curious
what people think at Covine and Rich at Fox Sports Ready,
and of course eight seven seven nine nine on Fox.
I am curious if people think, first of all, will
It's a wonderful life translate to anyone that's never seen it? Now,
that's question number one. Number two sports movies, which are
(17:56):
so near and dear to us as sports fans and
movie fans. I heard our pal Collin how Heard recently
talking about how.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Stars star Stars, the best stars attract stars, the best
sports movie ever, and he was very adamant in saying
Star's Brian Song, which I thought was an emotional, tear
jerking great movie. But would anyone younger now have the
patience to sit through Brian Song.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Nope, North Dulands forty Caddy Shack. No young person would
ever sit through that, no matter how great it is.
We're not saying it's not great. We're just giving you
the truth. So all these things that are near and dear,
they're not fast moving enough.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
These kids have pea brains.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Social media has rotted everybody's attention span, including ours, especially kids.
And I made this point recently, Rich, and I'll make
it again, the difference between us. If you're forty something
around that age, you're fluent an old guy in the
analog lifestyle, but you're also fluent in fast moving social
media culture of today. If you grew up younger than that,
(18:59):
your reference is fast moving social media culture. You do
not have the attention span. You're not fluent in old
timey time analog, slow moving movies. You have no patience
for it. You think it sucks. There's nothing that anyone
could say that could convince you that at one time
this was cool, because in their mind it's not.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
They don't have that reference point.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's what makes gen X and and you're you're after that, right,
What do you are?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
What are you? Rich? Alfalfa generation? What is it? Alpha?
Jen Alpha? I'm I'm a gen X? Right? Are you
a gen X? I think I'm just.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I'm borderline millennial. If you're born in like, not around
nineteen eighty, early eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
We can appreciate both. That's what makes us unique. That's
what makes us valuable. Honestly, we're fluent in two different mindsets.
It's like being being fluent in uh like Android and iOS.
You know your your your mind works in both ways.
A younger person only wants fast moving content, or they're
(20:01):
falling asleep, or they're looking at their phone, or they're
not interested.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Do you think some younger person.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Who is spending their free time playing stupid games like
all right, dog dog dog cat dog cat like people
that are doing stupid TikTok Instagram games, do you think
they're gonna sit down for two hours and watch a
black and white Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
No, that's the shame of it. So if that is true,
that's what I'm saying. If that is true, and we
all agree it probably is the same applies to these
sports highlights and the games that we hold near and
dear to our hearts. They do not care. All right,
(20:45):
here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
We're gonna take your feedback thoughts on old school sports clips,
sports highlights, old school movies.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Do they know how goofy?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You know how goofy stirrups must look to a young kid.
George Bretton is nineteen eighty stirrups?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
What are those? Dad? Well, we used to put these
things over your sock and stirrups. What are you from
the eighteen hundreds?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
That?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah? But why were we all were stirrups? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But dad, I don't what to hold up your stockings?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
But but dad, why don't they just wear baseball socks?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Hey dad?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
How come the kickers only had one bar in their helmet?
Are you from the eighteen hundreds?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
So you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And you're trying to tell them that it's cool and
they're like it's not.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah. Man, the evolution of of what.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Keeping We appreciated it because we lived both lives.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
We're a different generation.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Younger generation has no exposure to anything but fast moving,
fast acting social media expectations. The wild thing is the
attentions fan is is not there, so it is disintegrated
your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It's a wonderful life. Sports highlights and you know what's
interesting too? What was impressive then versus now also changed.
My quick example would be you're seeing, guys.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
What did Kim Little kick the other day in practice?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Seventy three yard?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
A seventy three yard field goal that they said would
have been good for seventy five and he just missed
a seventy five yarder. And the other Eddie Pinero and
the Niners on Monday Night Football, just for the heck
of it, tried like a sixty.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Five yarder at the half and it joinked off the thing.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It was like, oh, man, if you tell kids, yeah,
the Buffalo Bills, they've lost four Super rolls in a row,
one because of a missed field goal. And you they're thinking, oh,
what did the kicker miss like a sixty seventy fifty
yard field goal? No, it was a thirty nine yard field.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Goal, scotty like, it's like looking but we didn't think
it was a chip shot.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Then, Yes, that's what I'm saying. They're saying through different eyes,
your thoughts and midweek Major.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
A lot of fun here filling in for the great
Dan Patrick cave Mean on Retch Red here on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Paully Fools gohead with Tony Foosco. Yeah, as everybody knows,
we're the hosts of the Award winning Polly and Toni
Foosco Show. Yeah, but instead of us telling you how
great we are, here's how Dan Patrick described us when
he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fusco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yee hey, we'relying from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Well
they are. I'm in Idaho. Shout out to ninety nine
point nine. It's Cavino and Rich. He's still driving that
trusty old ride. Keep you looking sharp like Iron, Mike
looking sharp with Mako from dense to faded paint. We've
(24:03):
got you covered. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better
get Mako now. We got midweek major coming up. But Rich,
I just took a little bathroom break and I had
an ep Fennie, an ep fenny. Oh that's when you
have great thoughts in the middle of the pay. You
gotta keep expectations low. The question is if some of
the old time classics don't stand the test of time,
(24:25):
like It's a wonderful life, Do our sports highlights stand
the test of time when kids see him today, keep
expectations low because when you overhype it, it.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Usually under delivers. Right. So if you're like, you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Gotta see this play from Montana, Oh man, it's cold.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The catch to Dwight Clark legendary.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The catch this kid has, this impression of this is
gonna be the most legendary, and all you see is
Dwight Clark sliding through the end zone, catches it with
his fingertips. They're not gonna be impressed with that because
we oversold it. And catch to them is a obj
one handed snag receivers there catching them in their back pocket.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Puka made a catch this week more impressive. Maybe I
get it was the magnitude of the catch, but you're right,
expectations low.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
It's a big borrow.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
And then it makes you think, well, which highlights would
stand the test of time, like maybe it's a wonderful
life does stand the test of time? Like it have
to be like Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield because they're desensitized.
They've grown up seeing UFC fights, So you have to
show them something outlandish for it for it to resonate.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
So you know what, We're gonna take your phone calls.
Hang on, We're gonna get to your phone calls on.
Do those things stand the test of time? Just to
prove the point though, Matt and Minnesota hit us up
and he said, we have very few highlights in Minnesota
with our sports teams. And his son won't watch the
ninety one World Series because he's like dad, it looks old,
and he's like.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Son, it's the only thing we have. Van Gladden's got
a mullet. Yeah, well, you not feeling it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You're feedback on the old school Calika fan says that
old school sports comedies hold up like Major League, for example,
Bulldrum but a Brian song and The Natural not so much.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
And Rich you proved that recently. You said you couldn't
even sit through The Natural. You it was rough.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Hey, listen, we're gonna get to the rest of your feedback,
but we're running low on time here and Spot's got
midweek major, so let's do it.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Let's do it.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Covino and Rich get you over the Middle of the
Week where mid Week Major that we throw sports and
pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and it's
like the.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Kids say that we definitely major.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Seeing our score Midweek Major.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Oh yeah, you guys ready, I'm ready. I was boring.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Say ho you say ho ho ho.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Oh he's gotten that Idaho delay there all right.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
So before we hand things over to the number one
and only hosts of the segment, usually we roll the
two big red love dice to see who gets first take.
But since Covino's with his future in laws, oh man,
the chum, you're in the home studio, Rich, you get
to call Ben Maller's famous ass pennies in my hand?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Are you gonna flip it? Or are you gonna drop it?
Like Donald Trump? Where it just the lands, I'll go heads? Heads?
All right, here we go?
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yeah, from Benny versus the Penny on YouTube, it is heads.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I'm rad. That means Rich gets to go first.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Points New Jersey Spotty Boy.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Fuck.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Hey, guys, well, Rich, since you're going first. I'll start
with a forty nine or slightly forty nine Ers related story.
So if brock Perty goes down, don't worry Rich because
Steve Young's ready to jump in. Oh. Philip Rivers returned
into the field years after calling it quits. Former forty
nine Ers QB Steve Young, who is currently sixty four
years old, was asked if he could pull pull off
(27:56):
something similar to Rivers, and he said as a QB,
he believes that one of the things that would be
like riding a bike is sitting in the pocket and
reading defenses, which he said Rivers was great at doing.
That's not going away, and it didn't for Philip. He
says that he feels confident he could take the snap,
run the screen game, throw the ball in the flat,
maybe throw a slant. He said that if he was
something that he had to do, he absolutely could pull
(28:18):
it off. He absolutely could suit up and go on
the field. Not happening anytime soon, but I'm sure it's
got a lot of retired players thinking once they saw
Rivers on the field.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Anyway, midweek are major. I think it's major move over
Mac Jones. We got a new backup Steve Young. Listen.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Steve Young was always an intellectual guy. I mean, one
of the smartest players in NFL history. They say, you
saw Philip Rivers and Danny g I believe you. And
I were talking the other day about how you don't
see guys commands the line of scrimmage the way Philip
Rivers did.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
It was almost a throwback the other night, just.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Reading a defense and the mental part of being a quarterback,
which is why Tom Brady played so long. Tom Brady
was the unique guy who his body held up long
enough where the mind and body matched.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I know that sounds ridiculous, but I think a.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Lot of these old guys, other than getting hit and
other than scrambling out of the pocket, reading coverages and
throwing the ball, they could still do. I'm not saying
Steve Young could play, but getting his part of the game,
that part of the game, I think all these old
guys could do.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
If he's saying it's like getting on a bike, I
think if he got into today's game, it'd be like
getting on a Kawasaki motorcycle.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, and he'd be like, WHOA, this is really fast.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
However, Yeah, think about Steve Young. Sam has called games
and he you know, and he analyzed.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
The legend for sure, so I think four. No, I
don't think he could play, but I know what he's saying.
You can stand there.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Over the offensive line. He's too small in today's game,
no way, dude. You know what I'm going mid And
I'll start by saying this. I gave out all the
props in the world for having that type of attitude,
that competitive edge. I love that. I love that competitive nature.
He still has it, so congrats to him. He's sixty
four is a big differences sixty four and Philip Rivers
(30:00):
forty four, not to mention father times undefeated. And last
time I saw Steve Young and I say this, oh respectfully,
because he is a legend. Dude, he looks like Leslie Nielson.
Now he's full on gray. I thought it was Phil Donahue.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
And you know what, last time we gave it an
old guy too much credit, and it was Mike Tyson
and we saw how that ended.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Right by the way you compared him to Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Tom Brady said recently as well, he can get out
there and play, no doubt. And I believe that because
he's still in his forty sixty four.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Look. I love the attitude, but it's not realistic. I
have some audio from Steve Young here here, here we go.
How much you want to make a bet I can
throw football over the mountains. I don't want to bet you.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Steve, You're great, because when you get older, you shrink
a little bit. We've seen Steve Young in person. He
looks small man all right. Over to the Chiefs and
Travis Kelce retirement. Rivers are building as the Chiefs prepared
to play their final game this season at Arrowhead, So
coach Andy Reid spoke yesterday saying he's unsure if Kelsey
(30:57):
will return to the team next season, saying they haven't
about it. I'm sure they have, although he's publicly saying
they haven't. But his numbers, per and personality speak for themselves.
He says he's been such an asset to the team.
Other teammates like Chris Jones chimed in, saying that it's sad.
He hopes it's not his last ride, but if it is,
I tip my hat off to him.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Hell of a career.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Even offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said he reflected on his
time with Kelsey and what he's done for the organization.
So it seems like, with all these people expressing this
in the press conference yesterday, that the vibe is a
huge possibility that this may be Kelsey's last season.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Midweek or Major.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Do you mean the number one vote getting pro bowler,
I mean Travis Kelcey. Listen, I think it's I think
it's mid because everyone retires at some point. I just
think that you can't go out like this. I know
no one really has a happy ending unless you're John
el Way, which I'm gonna watch that documentary.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Most people don't go out on top.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
But I don't think you go out after your one
week last season where the Chiefs don't even make the
playoffs and they're under five hundred and Mahomes is out though.
I just feel like if it reeks up, remember when
Marian Rivera got hurt and then during his final season
and he came back for one more season.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, I'm not getting that vibe.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I think it's major because he's done and he's one
of the greatest to do it, one of the greatest
tight ends to do it. He's what you think coming
back next year guarantees a better season.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
At all. I don't think he's getting better. I don't
think the team is guaranteed to get better. And he
has other things to do.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
He's got a bride waiting for him, he's got a
family hopefully to build.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
He's got a podcast. This is making millions of dollars.
He doesn't need this anymore. This is it for him, man,
and congrats on a great career.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Speaking a million dollar podcasters. Joe Rogan issuing a warning
to Jake Paul after his battle with Anthony Anthony Joshua
on Friday. Paul, who broke his jaw being knocked out
in the sixth Rogan, who has long been associated with
the UFC as you know, urged Paul to consider his
longevity in the sport. He said, don't do this very
long because there's a price you pay the it's not
worth it, and that price is depression, deep depression, a
(33:03):
severe brain imbalance that's going to lead you to addiction.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
He said.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
It leads many to have very impulsive behavior from gambling
addition addictions, alcohol addictions, drug addictions. He said that there
was a lot of concussion in that one punch that
he received from Anthony Joshua. It was real damage. Jake
appeared on his brother's podcast Impulsive saying talking about the damage,
saying he has what four titanium plates in there and
(33:28):
that his jaw basically snapped. Sot a lot going on there,
midweek er, Mate, it's.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Major, man, And you said impulsive and impulsive in the
same sens as.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
All right, thank you. I was gonna make that pun
and you did it for me.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I think it's major because what did Terrence Bud Crawford
just say the other day? Can you know you're a
big fan of the pound for pound undisputed undefeated champion.
Didn't he say like he's the real winner because he's
able to walk away with his health.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, Yeah, that's that's really uh, that's it really right.
That's really all you want to do is come out
clean and make your money.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
For sure, when you're an NFL player or a boxer
or someone that plays a high impact sport, if you
could come away successful with your health, you've won it.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
And I think there's no reason why Jake.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Paul needs to prove anything else, but you know he
will and it's dangerous, but he'll do it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
You know what, It's major, and I'll tell you why
a stat came out of the most watched boxing matches
in the twenty first century. Jake Paul is in the
top three of the five most viewed fights. And I'll
explain what those are later on. And he's saying that
he's going to continue doing it because he loves the sport. Look,
(34:38):
he's still young. I think he has a few fights
in him. It's a few fights left. But I agree
with Joe Rogan, like, no need to push it further.
You made your money. You made ninety two million on
that last It's fine. One more quickie, someone in there.
I don't really have the time. Sorry, guys. Oh well, hey,
but thank you, it's your fault. Put a little pull
in our stocking. Don't threaten me, you know what. Thank
(35:00):
you for being on time with the clock. Spot Yeah,
I do my best. You guys being all diligent. The
boss will give you a little pad.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Rich is in a in the middle of a monsoon
in Los Angeles. What you got, buddy boy, give me
give me your fun stat First off, there's two stories
this is a double logan. Paul has said he said this
on first take, by the way, or he posted its
posted on first take. W WE is way harder than
fighting Floyd Mayweather. It's the hardest thing I've done.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
By a mile. I could see that one.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I can't really getting punched in the face for real
by a Floyd Mayweather training that.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I'm not saying that preparing for a wrestling event is easy.
I think him jumping a little guy, flying off the
top turn buckle and doing flips and putting your body
on the line way tougher than fighting one hundred and
forty pounds Floyd Mayweather.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I'd like to see you do it.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You know, I'd be gassed in the first round. Yeah,
but I'm you know why, because it's real, That's why. Yeah,
but see what happens. You get about I don't know
how about a guy that's done both is telling you
and use your fight out buying it. He's he's also
working in the WWE. I'm not buying that for a minute.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And that's not the downplay. How tough it is and
how great he makes it look. He's great at it.
But in Jake Paul news and we just talked about
him in midweek. Major Jake Paul is part of the
top five most watched boxing matches in the twenty first century,
so since the year, since the year two thousand, j
(38:40):
car five. All right, just to put in perspective, speaking
of Mayweather, when this spectacle in Circus began back in
twenty seventeen, he fought Connor McGregor and we were all
intrigued to watch. Four point three million people tuned in. Again,
that's pay per view. Just keep that in mind.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
That was pay per view four point three million coming
in at number.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Four Mayweather pokiaw So Mayweather and two of the top
five four point six million in twenty fifteen, So four
point three four point six Now watch the jump it
takes when Netflix becomes a thing and Jake Paul gets involved.
Just recently this past weekend, Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua twenty
(39:24):
twenty five, thirty three million people tuned in, So we
jumped from four.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Point six million to thirty three million. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Number two Canelo Crawford just recently again Netflix, forty one
million people tuned into that and the number one fight
of the twenty first century Jake Paul again versus Mike
Tyson last year one hundred and eight million. So again
we went from Mayweather McGregor four point three to one
(39:53):
oh eight million. So hate him or not. The eyes
that this guy brings you can say Netflix and make
any sort of excuse you want. It's bringing eyes to
the sport. And it's unbelievable how big he's he's making it.
You know, it's kind of crazy to think of those
those numbers.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Well, then you know what, don't bust Mike Huevos when
I tell you that, you know people care about this,
and don't tell me about Fight of the Year with
two no names.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
These are the fights people want to see.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Whether you like saying there's there's spectacles, and there's fights
that matter made up belt has zero ramifications. What do
you mean why doesn't matter? Is a mismatch, it's a
circus fight. It's fun, entertaining, and I'm there for it
all day. But Ti Fimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson next month.
But makes that more important because some fake w B
(40:42):
O whatever WBC, I mean, use your common sense, bro.
One one is a circus act and one is a
legitimate fight for legitimate belts. You could say there's no
value on the belts until there's one belt. I'm with
you all day on that. But there's legitimate fights with
legitimate contenders, and then there's a circus fight. And that's
what we got last weekend.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
It was fun. It was fun, but people are watching,
is the point? All right?
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Hey, before we say farewell to the Dan Patrick audience,
go around the room. Anyone want to make a little
Christmas wish, a little wish to Sanna on anything that
they want. I'm reading my list here. Dear Santa, please
sign Cody Bellinger.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
For the mess Yeah, continue signing Yankees. How lame is
that you mean to get to play for the Yankees
for a cup of coffee.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
He's not a Yankee, said Dodger, and a Cubby and
other teams like I don't think a Cody Bellinger is
a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
And the rest of your bullpen or what leftover Yankees
leftover side.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Senator Santa, please let Tom Brady mentor Mendoza. There you go,
and bring in leadership to get the Raiders a top
o line.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
All right, Dear Sanna, have David Stearns pull the trigger
on a Scooball trade.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Oh you stole my Christmas.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Wish and dear Sana, let this be the year where
Brock Party and the Niners get over the hump and
an un assuming you where no one expects it.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
You know what, continue your dear standa know at Covino
and Rich on social media. I'd love to see everyone's
wish out there. You're saying, put Anthony Vopie on the
bench and signed Boba Schett.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
There you go, Hey, Merry Christmas. Stay safe to you
and your families. Appreciate all the Covino Rich support. Thank you,
Dan Patrick and the dan Nets. Until next time, all
rive it there at you baby.

The live chat's popping, Lisa's there, Michelle Tallica, Mark James,
a lot of people hitting us up live. We appreciate
(02:02):

We got midweek major this hour, the biggest stories in
sports and pop culture. We decide with spot if they're
midweek or major. And right now again, I'm in Idaho
with my future in laws.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Rich, what does that mean? I mean, that's what is that?
That's a big giveaway. I don't know. What are you
supposed to say? My girlfriend's family?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
There you go, Well, future in laws would insinuate you're
getting engaged.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I mean, I don't. I don't put a lot of
emphastists on that. It's just the same, really, right, I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Laws, It's not really an expressions ring ring box in
your pocket or a potato what's.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That under the tree? All right? So anyway, stop spreading rumors.
Don't do it on Christmas though, because then you can't
take it back because yeah, exact now future in laws. Huh,
oh my god, you're so corny. You're just first tradition.
You're the guys. When you say that's my girlfriend's family,
what do you say? You just say it's the same
(03:09):
you said my family.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Future in laws completely insinuate your getting married.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Just call the in laws.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's like, it's fine, corny. If I said in laws,
does that mean anything? This is my girlfriend's family, right,
I'm here with them.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Fox Sports Boys ninety nine point nine is going wild
right now.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, man is getting a local boise reporter outside your
house getting your radio host and your potato queen are
getting married.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh wow, yes, so her family.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Radio tycoon and local potato girl this Potato twenty twelve.
So I realized that none of her family, well not
her entire family, but her sister, her brother in law,
a lot of the younger people had never seen It's
a Wonderful Life. And I felt like the old guy,
(03:59):
like they made it seem like it was my favorite
movie and it's one of for some wonderful which is
what I'm like, which is what you promised to give
your girlfriend in the future. You guys are corny, dude,
So you know, I'm like, hey, hold on, I'm not
from nineteen forty six. That's when the movie came out.
It's a classic. I'm surprised you guys have never seen it.
And they made it out like, oh, he wants us
to watch it. We should watch it for Steve. And
(04:21):
I'm like, no, I don't know what. Well, hold up,
don't watch it for me, because then I'm gonna be
insulted that. You know, you're looking at your phone and
you're taking bathroom breaks and you're chatting over the movie
like I you watch it if you want to watch it,
And I will say this, we have not yet to
watch it. We have not watched it. In fact, we
watched it Dave Chappelle Special last night. But now I
(04:41):
got all this pressure because they are saying, yeah, we're
gonna watch It's a Wonderful Life with Steve. I'm like, yo, stop,
what's that for me? Like, I don't want you to
do anything for me. You should have seen it a
long time ago.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So you gonna go from Edgy Stand Up Special to
nineteen forty six black and white Christmas movie?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, yeah, because it's it's a slurwer moving movie. And
we put that on the last night, late at night.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The cigarette smoking in both, yeah, exactly, that's the only commonality.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
But you know what, can you know brings up a
good point? Movies, music, sports moments. There are things that
in your mind, dude, there's a freaking classic. How could
someone not appreciate it? But when you show it to
your kids, or a younger girlfriend or tim to be fiance,
or anyone younger in your life, it might not translate.
(05:30):
And I noticed this for the first time years ago
when my nieces and nephew were younger. I was like,
you guys want to watch a scary movie? And they're like, yeah,
Uncle Rich, And I was like, you know, we're gonna
watch Grimulins. I sat down my nieces and nephew, who
are now like grown teenagers, are like they're in college,
but I remember when they were little. I thought I
(05:53):
was going to open their eyes to a legendary classic movie.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I was like, dude, who want they want? They'd want
a magua for Christmas? Yo. They were like, Uncle Rich,
you sucked. This is the cheesiest movie ever. They booed
me and I asked. As I watched it, I was like,
oh my god, this is bad. It's like I stated
(06:17):
on slow the special effects are terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
We'll go back once in a while and you looks
like it looks like something from the early eighties, like blurry,
it came in blurry.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You watch something from your childhood that you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Know how movies coming high different, Okay, came in blurry
eighties blurry.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Watch something from back then and you have such fun
memories of something that was complete trash. Like I remember
going back and watching reruns of shows that I loved
as a kid. I'll name two of them that are
garbage that as a little boy, Rich Davis me loved.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But truthfully, the shows you're about to mention were garbage.
Then you're just a little kid though, see you're your
expectations were low.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, but I mean these were successful shows that rent.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's classics that stand the test of time. Perfect Strangers
is not a classic coffee show from the eighties.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I thought Belki and Larry making Bibby Bopkaz was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It was not. Yeah, because you're a nose pick an
eight year old. What do you know, Willie. I thought
ALF was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I went back and I watched an episode of ALF
once and I'm like, this is nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Most of us thought that was cheesy when it was on. Yeah,
yeah it was. It was cheesy. Yeah. The difference chezy
then means even cheesier.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Now, I'll give you classics then should stand the test
of time, but not all do. And that's how I
feel about Like, dude, Back to the Future came out
in nineteen eighty five. It's still great today. Yeah, because
classics stand the test of time. It's a Wonderful Life
came out in nineteen forty six, and it's in black
and white, and I think younger eyes see anything like
that and they're immediately tuned out because it's not crystal
(07:53):
clear clarity.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's just it looks old.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It looks slow, and they don't It doesn't register to
their weenial social media eyes. You know, it just looks
They won't even give it a chance. Point is keep it.
Like my kids liked Goonies and I thought that was cool.
They were like, yeah, this is cool because it's an
adventure kid's fun.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Time on movie.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, I'm not surprised by that, but I'm gonna upset
a lot of people when I say this.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Kids want fast moving, fast acting. Let me upset a
lot of people, the nerds out there.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
When I was younger, I was certainly not the coolest kid,
but my family was not a Star Wars family.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Still aren't. We're just not a Star Wars family.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
My wife likes Star Wars, but growing up, my brother
and sister and my family we weren't into it. So
when I was older, I investigated Star Wars because everyone
I knew was like, yeah, Star Wars the best. If
you watched the original nineteen seventy something Star Wars now
for the first time, I promise you you'd be terribly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
No, No, that's lasphemy. Yeah, man, I don't know. Classics
tend to test the time. That's my theory.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
They were so ahead of their time with those movies
Rich that that's one of the reasons why the acting,
the storyline, the special effect.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Are you kidding, man, it's not.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I think you also have to explain to whoever's watching,
like you have to realize, guys, Yeah, this might look
a little dated, but these were the innovators, the pioneers,
the first imagine seeing something like this for the first.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And when we were kids, the cool the coolest special
effect when we were kids was large Marge's face like
we've come along, We've come a long way.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I'm not saying Star Wars is bad. What I'm saying
is watching it. You kind of did say watch you know,
you know what. I guess You're right, I do. I
did that gets Some think it stinks watching it now.
You can't get through the first one. It stinks, it does.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I think it's just you're bored by it.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
There there was more storylines going on in older films,
and so to Covino's point, I think it was Cocoa Melon,
where I read that they change the shot like eight
times in a few seconds because the kids nowadays they
need the screen to constantly change the regulation.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You're right, Danny G. There's the show Coco Melon.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
If you got little kids, Coco Melons like a very
popular kid show. They change frames. I believe every three
seconds something absurd where it's because the kid's attentions like
boom bam.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know when I started noticing this, I remember showing
my daughter Mary Poppins and you.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Think a kid's gonna chim Chimaru. Yeah, Like, it just
felt slow. It felt so snow and old.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And it was that song that the Manhatter guy singing
when he's floating around. By the time that song came on,
my kid was sleeping. And you know what, they start
off those older movies with the credits, so the kids
bored before the movie even start.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Dude, my kids love Wicked.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
We went to go see Wicked obviously as a good
dat I'm like, let's watch Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
They loved the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
But I had to fast forward the first minute and
a half because it's open credits of who's in the movie.
There's like two minutes of opening credits, like is it over?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
What are the words? I see? What are why words?
When does it start?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I'm like, oh, geez, you know you know what they
need to start backwards doing like you know how with
podcasts you can listen at like one and a half
or two time speed.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
They need to do that with old movies you need
to be able to like there needs to be away,
you want the mar.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What the more right man in town? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Right, and then it's just everything moves it two times
the speed and you can listen to it and then
it's like it's over in half the time they need.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You're right, it's about like a podcast or like a
I know a lot of baseball networks like s n
Y and Yes for the Yankees could be know and
I'm sure Spectrum for the Dodgers' ness in mess in
all the they do the like a two and a
half three hour game, they do some type of like cutout,
they cut out the fat.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And it's like a half hour game. The condensed version
is great. Yeah, so based on this, you know, what
do you think about It's a wonderful life? Is it
a fail? Am I setting myself up for failure. Are
they going to be bored seeing through younger eyes? Does
it not stand to test the time I look at it,
I really look at it like a timeless story of
life lessons and what the holiday really means. And I
(12:20):
think classics never die. I think it's the Wizard of
Oz of Christmas movies. I really do. But then again,
I don't want that pressure and vouching for it, and
I don't want them to be bored, and it's all
my fault, and I don't want to be.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Booed the way your nieces and nephews booed you, Rich
when you show them Gremlins.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
But think about this, if certain movies and even to us,
certain movies right that maybe your mom watched, are boring
to us, Like, man, I don't know. Do those sports
highlights that we cherish, that we saw, that we watched,
that we grew up thinking we're the coolest do those games?
Do those moments also not translate because.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
They look so old.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You could see a highlight from the nineties and it
looks old and blurry, and a kid today I just think, yeah,
that's weak. Or even the moves like I reference this
to you the other day, Rich like when we saw
Magic Johnson making those moves the first time you saw
him making those moves, the first time you saw someone
play that way.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
So you're blown away by Magic Johnson. Nobody hid today sees.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That on and one videos and one on one competitions
and kids on social media every minute of the day.
It doesn't hit the same way.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And it looks old Magic. That's kind of laying dad.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
No look past in the eighties was something we had
never seen before. Magic's on a breakaway and this is
the ball off like not looking at all.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It was like, oh my god, no, we remember were
like a no look past. Right.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You want to talk about that Lway documentary, So I'm
gonna watch it tonight. He was released on Netflix Monday.
And when they got to the part where Elway did
the helicopter, I think that was Super Bowl thirty two
in my mind as as a little kid watching that.
He helicoptered way high off the ground into the end zone.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Same Danny, that's all same thing.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
That's the Lord Like, that's what I think of. But
it was just to get a first down. It was
right right inside the five yard line. Wasn't for a touchdown.
And also he got like ankle high almost of carel.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
My memory of it was different than the reality. You're right,
because we're kids, our perspectives off. Steve Mann one nine
nine says nostalgia is a drug, and yeah, when kids
see it from their younger perspective, it doesn't hit in
the same way.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Not to take anything away from Elway, because he was
such a gamer in that Super Bowl, wanted it so
bad and it was awesome how he took the ball
and ran. He was an older guy, he was battling injuries,
but in my mind as a kid, that was one
of the most awesome quarterback runs ever. And now watching
that documentary, I was like, yeah, it was cool, but
we've seen bigger, faster, stronger quarterbacks running the football. Now
(14:59):
that's it's weird.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I just googled John Elway doing the helicopter and I
got something else.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
There's footage of that.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Yeah, I think that was far bro farv coodn't helicopter?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
That was weird? You know, like a mad dog.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Will like bring up Bob Coozy all the time, Bob,
and then you'll look at the highlights and Bob Coosey
was playing a bunch of goofy white guys. He had
no competition, and you're not really impressed with it. That's
how your kids look like. Look at Mike Tyson highlight
and they're like, yeah, but that look who he's fighting.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
The way he's fighting some bum by the way, if
you looked at a Bob Coosey clip when you were
a kid, it would be the equivalent of looking at
something from like the two thousands.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, I'm telling you that. That's that's the age difference.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
These movies, these highlights, these sports moments. Forget about an
entire game. Think of like the greatest game, the Flu Game.
Think about the greatest game you mentioned Brett Farv, Brett
Farv's game when he when his dad died and he
threw for a million yards. Think of a legendary game.
A kid today would never even want to sit through
it because it looks old. As simple as that, it
(16:08):
could be the greatest game. They don't care because it
doesn't work with them. It's not enough stimulation. That's the
shame of it. My kids watch it.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
But you remember I told the story a while back,
how I showed my kids the Mets eighty six game
six gets by Buckner and my kids like, Dad is like,
it's all blurry, Like is it like, is something wrong?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It's all blurry? I'm like no.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
But hey, rich, you remember when you were a kid,
you thought life was in black and white because all
your Grandpappy's pictures and movies were in black and white.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
My grandparents would tell me a story, I would picture
it in black and white. I thought your kids probably think.
Your kids probably think we grew up in the blurry era. Dad,
When you were a kid, was everything just blurry? You
ask a college kid now, you ever see where they
ask a college athlete's like, what makes someone old? And
they're like, yeah, when they were born in the nineteen hundreds, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So basically, the question is if classics like It's a
Wonderful Life might not stand in the test of time.
I'm not sure if it does. I haven't really put
it to the test yet, and I don't think it will.
I really don't. That's why I'm hesitant to these moments
that we cherished growing up in the world of sports,
Like Danny g said, the John l a helicopter, Like,
(17:22):
we have this vision of this legendary moment in our brain.
Kids today would hold home at this moment, and you
feel insulted as a result.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
It's just how it.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Is, Coch when you think of sports movies, to combine them,
both movies and sports. And by the way, I'm curious
what people think at Covine and Rich at Fox Sports Ready,
and of course eight seven seven nine nine on Fox.
I am curious if people think, first of all, will
It's a wonderful life translate to anyone that's never seen it? Now,
that's question number one. Number two sports movies, which are
(17:56):
so near and dear to us as sports fans and
movie fans. I heard our pal Collin how Heard recently
talking about how.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Stars star Stars, the best stars attract stars, the best
sports movie ever, and he was very adamant in saying
Star's Brian Song, which I thought was an emotional, tear
jerking great movie. But would anyone younger now have the
patience to sit through Brian Song.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Nope, North Dulands forty Caddy Shack. No young person would
ever sit through that, no matter how great it is.
We're not saying it's not great. We're just giving you
the truth. So all these things that are near and dear,
they're not fast moving enough.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
These kids have pea brains.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Social media has rotted everybody's attention span, including ours, especially kids.
And I made this point recently, Rich, and I'll make
it again, the difference between us. If you're forty something
around that age, you're fluent an old guy in the
analog lifestyle, but you're also fluent in fast moving social
media culture of today. If you grew up younger than that,
(18:59):
your reference is fast moving social media culture. You do
not have the attention span. You're not fluent in old
timey time analog, slow moving movies. You have no patience
for it. You think it sucks. There's nothing that anyone
could say that could convince you that at one time
this was cool, because in their mind it's not.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
They don't have that reference point.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's what makes gen X and and you're you're after that, right,
What do you are?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
What are you? Rich? Alfalfa generation? What is it? Alpha?
Jen Alpha? I'm I'm a gen X? Right? Are you
a gen X? I think I'm just.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I'm borderline millennial. If you're born in like, not around
nineteen eighty, early eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
We can appreciate both. That's what makes us unique. That's
what makes us valuable. Honestly, we're fluent in two different mindsets.
It's like being being fluent in uh like Android and iOS.
You know your your your mind works in both ways.
A younger person only wants fast moving content, or they're
(20:01):
falling asleep, or they're looking at their phone, or they're
not interested.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Do you think some younger person.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Who is spending their free time playing stupid games like
all right, dog dog dog cat dog cat like people
that are doing stupid TikTok Instagram games, do you think
they're gonna sit down for two hours and watch a
black and white Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
No, that's the shame of it. So if that is true,
that's what I'm saying. If that is true, and we
all agree it probably is the same applies to these
sports highlights and the games that we hold near and
dear to our hearts. They do not care. All right,
(20:45):
here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
We're gonna take your feedback thoughts on old school sports clips,
sports highlights, old school movies.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Do they know how goofy?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You know how goofy stirrups must look to a young kid.
George Bretton is nineteen eighty stirrups?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
What are those? Dad? Well, we used to put these
things over your sock and stirrups. What are you from
the eighteen hundreds?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
That?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah? But why were we all were stirrups? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But dad, I don't what to hold up your stockings?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
But but dad, why don't they just wear baseball socks?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Hey dad?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
How come the kickers only had one bar in their helmet?
Are you from the eighteen hundreds?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
So you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And you're trying to tell them that it's cool and
they're like it's not.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah. Man, the evolution of of what.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Keeping We appreciated it because we lived both lives.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
We're a different generation.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Younger generation has no exposure to anything but fast moving,
fast acting social media expectations. The wild thing is the
attentions fan is is not there, so it is disintegrated
your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It's a wonderful life. Sports highlights and you know what's
interesting too? What was impressive then versus now also changed.
My quick example would be you're seeing, guys.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
What did Kim Little kick the other day in practice?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Seventy three yard?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
A seventy three yard field goal that they said would
have been good for seventy five and he just missed
a seventy five yarder. And the other Eddie Pinero and
the Niners on Monday Night Football, just for the heck
of it, tried like a sixty.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Five yarder at the half and it joinked off the thing.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It was like, oh, man, if you tell kids, yeah,
the Buffalo Bills, they've lost four Super rolls in a row,
one because of a missed field goal. And you they're thinking, oh,
what did the kicker miss like a sixty seventy fifty
yard field goal? No, it was a thirty nine yard field.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Goal, scotty like, it's like looking but we didn't think
it was a chip shot.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Then, Yes, that's what I'm saying. They're saying through different eyes,
your thoughts and midweek Major.

I just took a little bathroom break and I had
an ep Fennie, an ep fenny. Oh that's when you
have great thoughts in the middle of the pay. You
gotta keep expectations low. The question is if some of
the old time classics don't stand the test of time,
(24:25):
like It's a wonderful life, Do our sports highlights stand
the test of time when kids see him today, keep
expectations low because when you overhype it, it.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Usually under delivers. Right. So if you're like, you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Gotta see this play from Montana, Oh man, it's cold.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The catch to Dwight Clark legendary.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The catch this kid has, this impression of this is
gonna be the most legendary, and all you see is
Dwight Clark sliding through the end zone, catches it with
his fingertips. They're not gonna be impressed with that because
we oversold it. And catch to them is a obj
one handed snag receivers there catching them in their back pocket.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Puka made a catch this week more impressive. Maybe I
get it was the magnitude of the catch, but you're right,
expectations low.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
It's a big borrow.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
And then it makes you think, well, which highlights would
stand the test of time, like maybe it's a wonderful
life does stand the test of time? Like it have
to be like Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield because they're desensitized.
They've grown up seeing UFC fights, So you have to
show them something outlandish for it for it to resonate.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
So you know what, We're gonna take your phone calls.
Hang on, We're gonna get to your phone calls on.
Do those things stand the test of time? Just to
prove the point though, Matt and Minnesota hit us up
and he said, we have very few highlights in Minnesota
with our sports teams. And his son won't watch the
ninety one World Series because he's like dad, it looks old,
and he's like.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Son, it's the only thing we have. Van Gladden's got
a mullet. Yeah, well, you not feeling it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You're feedback on the old school Calika fan says that
old school sports comedies hold up like Major League, for example,
Bulldrum but a Brian song and The Natural not so much.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
And Rich you proved that recently. You said you couldn't
even sit through The Natural. You it was rough.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Hey, listen, we're gonna get to the rest of your feedback,
but we're running low on time here and Spot's got
midweek major, so let's do it.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Let's do it.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Covino and Rich get you over the Middle of the
Week where mid Week Major that we throw sports and
pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and it's
like the.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Kids say that we definitely major.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Seeing our score Midweek Major.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Oh yeah, you guys ready, I'm ready. I was boring.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Say ho you say ho ho ho.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Oh he's gotten that Idaho delay there all right.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
So before we hand things over to the number one
and only hosts of the segment, usually we roll the
two big red love dice to see who gets first take.
But since Covino's with his future in laws, oh man,
the chum, you're in the home studio, Rich, you get
to call Ben Maller's famous ass pennies in my hand?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Are you gonna flip it? Or are you gonna drop it?
Like Donald Trump? Where it just the lands, I'll go heads? Heads?
All right, here we go?
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yeah, from Benny versus the Penny on YouTube, it is heads.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I'm rad. That means Rich gets to go first.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Points New Jersey Spotty Boy.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Fuck.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Hey, guys, well, Rich, since you're going first. I'll start
with a forty nine or slightly forty nine Ers related story.
So if brock Perty goes down, don't worry Rich because
Steve Young's ready to jump in. Oh. Philip Rivers returned
into the field years after calling it quits. Former forty
nine Ers QB Steve Young, who is currently sixty four
years old, was asked if he could pull pull off
(27:56):
something similar to Rivers, and he said as a QB,
he believes that one of the things that would be
like riding a bike is sitting in the pocket and
reading defenses, which he said Rivers was great at doing.
That's not going away, and it didn't for Philip. He
says that he feels confident he could take the snap,
run the screen game, throw the ball in the flat,
maybe throw a slant. He said that if he was
something that he had to do, he absolutely could pull
(28:18):
it off. He absolutely could suit up and go on
the field. Not happening anytime soon, but I'm sure it's
got a lot of retired players thinking once they saw
Rivers on the field.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Anyway, midweek are major. I think it's major move over
Mac Jones. We got a new backup Steve Young. Listen.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Steve Young was always an intellectual guy. I mean, one
of the smartest players in NFL history. They say, you
saw Philip Rivers and Danny g I believe you. And
I were talking the other day about how you don't
see guys commands the line of scrimmage the way Philip
Rivers did.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
It was almost a throwback the other night, just.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Reading a defense and the mental part of being a quarterback,
which is why Tom Brady played so long. Tom Brady
was the unique guy who his body held up long
enough where the mind and body matched.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I know that sounds ridiculous, but I think a.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Lot of these old guys, other than getting hit and
other than scrambling out of the pocket, reading coverages and
throwing the ball, they could still do. I'm not saying
Steve Young could play, but getting his part of the game,
that part of the game, I think all these old
guys could do.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
If he's saying it's like getting on a bike, I
think if he got into today's game, it'd be like
getting on a Kawasaki motorcycle.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, and he'd be like, WHOA, this is really fast.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
However, Yeah, think about Steve Young. Sam has called games
and he you know, and he analyzed.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
The legend for sure, so I think four. No, I
don't think he could play, but I know what he's saying.
You can stand there.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Over the offensive line. He's too small in today's game,
no way, dude. You know what I'm going mid And
I'll start by saying this. I gave out all the
props in the world for having that type of attitude,
that competitive edge. I love that. I love that competitive nature.
He still has it, so congrats to him. He's sixty
four is a big differences sixty four and Philip Rivers
(30:00):
forty four, not to mention father times undefeated. And last
time I saw Steve Young and I say this, oh respectfully,
because he is a legend. Dude, he looks like Leslie Nielson.
Now he's full on gray. I thought it was Phil Donahue.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
And you know what, last time we gave it an
old guy too much credit, and it was Mike Tyson
and we saw how that ended.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Right by the way you compared him to Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Tom Brady said recently as well, he can get out
there and play, no doubt. And I believe that because
he's still in his forty sixty four.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Look. I love the attitude, but it's not realistic. I
have some audio from Steve Young here here, here we go.
How much you want to make a bet I can
throw football over the mountains. I don't want to bet you.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Steve, You're great, because when you get older, you shrink
a little bit. We've seen Steve Young in person. He
looks small man all right. Over to the Chiefs and
Travis Kelce retirement. Rivers are building as the Chiefs prepared
to play their final game this season at Arrowhead, So
coach Andy Reid spoke yesterday saying he's unsure if Kelsey
(30:57):
will return to the team next season, saying they haven't
about it. I'm sure they have, although he's publicly saying
they haven't. But his numbers, per and personality speak for themselves.
He says he's been such an asset to the team.
Other teammates like Chris Jones chimed in, saying that it's sad.
He hopes it's not his last ride, but if it is,
I tip my hat off to him.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Hell of a career.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Even offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said he reflected on his
time with Kelsey and what he's done for the organization.
So it seems like, with all these people expressing this
in the press conference yesterday, that the vibe is a
huge possibility that this may be Kelsey's last season.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Midweek or Major.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Do you mean the number one vote getting pro bowler,
I mean Travis Kelcey. Listen, I think it's I think
it's mid because everyone retires at some point. I just
think that you can't go out like this. I know
no one really has a happy ending unless you're John
el Way, which I'm gonna watch that documentary.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Most people don't go out on top.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
But I don't think you go out after your one
week last season where the Chiefs don't even make the
playoffs and they're under five hundred and Mahomes is out though.
I just feel like if it reeks up, remember when
Marian Rivera got hurt and then during his final season
and he came back for one more season.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, I'm not getting that vibe.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I think it's major because he's done and he's one
of the greatest to do it, one of the greatest
tight ends to do it. He's what you think coming
back next year guarantees a better season.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
At all. I don't think he's getting better. I don't
think the team is guaranteed to get better. And he
has other things to do.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
He's got a bride waiting for him, he's got a
family hopefully to build.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
He's got a podcast. This is making millions of dollars.
He doesn't need this anymore. This is it for him, man,
and congrats on a great career.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Speaking a million dollar podcasters. Joe Rogan issuing a warning
to Jake Paul after his battle with Anthony Anthony Joshua
on Friday. Paul, who broke his jaw being knocked out
in the sixth Rogan, who has long been associated with
the UFC as you know, urged Paul to consider his
longevity in the sport. He said, don't do this very
long because there's a price you pay the it's not
worth it, and that price is depression, deep depression, a
(33:03):
severe brain imbalance that's going to lead you to addiction.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
He said.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
It leads many to have very impulsive behavior from gambling
addition addictions, alcohol addictions, drug addictions. He said that there
was a lot of concussion in that one punch that
he received from Anthony Joshua. It was real damage. Jake
appeared on his brother's podcast Impulsive saying talking about the damage,
saying he has what four titanium plates in there and
(33:28):
that his jaw basically snapped. Sot a lot going on there,
midweek er, Mate, it's.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Major, man, And you said impulsive and impulsive in the
same sens as.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
All right, thank you. I was gonna make that pun
and you did it for me.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I think it's major because what did Terrence Bud Crawford
just say the other day? Can you know you're a
big fan of the pound for pound undisputed undefeated champion.
Didn't he say like he's the real winner because he's
able to walk away with his health.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, Yeah, that's that's really uh, that's it really right.
That's really all you want to do is come out
clean and make your money.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
For sure, when you're an NFL player or a boxer
or someone that plays a high impact sport, if you
could come away successful with your health, you've won it.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
And I think there's no reason why Jake.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Paul needs to prove anything else, but you know he
will and it's dangerous, but he'll do it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
You know what, It's major, and I'll tell you why
a stat came out of the most watched boxing matches
in the twenty first century. Jake Paul is in the
top three of the five most viewed fights. And I'll
explain what those are later on. And he's saying that
he's going to continue doing it because he loves the sport. Look,
(34:38):
he's still young. I think he has a few fights
in him. It's a few fights left. But I agree
with Joe Rogan, like, no need to push it further.
You made your money. You made ninety two million on
that last It's fine. One more quickie, someone in there.
I don't really have the time. Sorry, guys. Oh well, hey,
but thank you, it's your fault. Put a little pull
in our stocking. Don't threaten me, you know what. Thank
(35:00):
you for being on time with the clock. Spot Yeah,
I do my best. You guys being all diligent. The
boss will give you a little pad.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
The wind and the rain. It's ridiculous out here. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Rich is in a in the middle of a monsoon
in Los Angeles. What you got, buddy boy, give me
give me your fun stat First off, there's two stories
this is a double logan. Paul has said he said this
on first take, by the way, or he posted its
posted on first take. W WE is way harder than
fighting Floyd Mayweather. It's the hardest thing I've done.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
By a mile. I could see that one.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I can't really getting punched in the face for real
by a Floyd Mayweather training that.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I'm not saying that preparing for a wrestling event is easy.
I think him jumping a little guy, flying off the
top turn buckle and doing flips and putting your body
on the line way tougher than fighting one hundred and
forty pounds Floyd Mayweather.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I'd like to see you do it.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You know, I'd be gassed in the first round. Yeah,
but I'm you know why, because it's real, That's why. Yeah,
but see what happens. You get about I don't know
how about a guy that's done both is telling you
and use your fight out buying it. He's he's also
working in the WWE. I'm not buying that for a minute.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And that's not the downplay. How tough it is and
how great he makes it look. He's great at it.
But in Jake Paul news and we just talked about
him in midweek. Major Jake Paul is part of the
top five most watched boxing matches in the twenty first century,
so since the year, since the year two thousand, j
(38:40):
car five. All right, just to put in perspective, speaking
of Mayweather, when this spectacle in Circus began back in
twenty seventeen, he fought Connor McGregor and we were all
intrigued to watch. Four point three million people tuned in. Again,
that's pay per view. Just keep that in mind.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
That was pay per view four point three million coming
in at number.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Four Mayweather pokiaw So Mayweather and two of the top
five four point six million in twenty fifteen, So four
point three four point six Now watch the jump it
takes when Netflix becomes a thing and Jake Paul gets involved.
Just recently this past weekend, Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua twenty
(39:24):
twenty five, thirty three million people tuned in, So we
jumped from four.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Point six million to thirty three million. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Number two Canelo Crawford just recently again Netflix, forty one
million people tuned into that and the number one fight
of the twenty first century Jake Paul again versus Mike
Tyson last year one hundred and eight million. So again
we went from Mayweather McGregor four point three to one
(39:53):
oh eight million. So hate him or not. The eyes
that this guy brings you can say Netflix and make
any sort of excuse you want. It's bringing eyes to
the sport. And it's unbelievable how big he's he's making it.
You know, it's kind of crazy to think of those
those numbers.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Well, then you know what, don't bust Mike Huevos when
I tell you that, you know people care about this,
and don't tell me about Fight of the Year with
two no names.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
These are the fights people want to see.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Whether you like saying there's there's spectacles, and there's fights
that matter made up belt has zero ramifications. What do
you mean why doesn't matter? Is a mismatch, it's a
circus fight. It's fun, entertaining, and I'm there for it
all day. But Ti Fimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson next month.
But makes that more important because some fake w B
(40:42):
O whatever WBC, I mean, use your common sense, bro.
One one is a circus act and one is a
legitimate fight for legitimate belts. You could say there's no
value on the belts until there's one belt. I'm with
you all day on that. But there's legitimate fights with
legitimate contenders, and then there's a circus fight. And that's
what we got last weekend.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
It was fun. It was fun, but people are watching,
is the point? All right?
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Hey, before we say farewell to the Dan Patrick audience,
go around the room. Anyone want to make a little
Christmas wish, a little wish to Sanna on anything that
they want. I'm reading my list here. Dear Santa, please
sign Cody Bellinger.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
For the mess Yeah, continue signing Yankees. How lame is
that you mean to get to play for the Yankees
for a cup of coffee.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
He's not a Yankee, said Dodger, and a Cubby and
other teams like I don't think a Cody Bellinger is
a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
And the rest of your bullpen or what leftover Yankees
leftover side.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Senator Santa, please let Tom Brady mentor Mendoza. There you go,
and bring in leadership to get the Raiders a top
o line.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
All right, Dear Sanna, have David Stearns pull the trigger
on a Scooball trade.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Oh you stole my Christmas.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Wish and dear Sana, let this be the year where
Brock Party and the Niners get over the hump and
an un assuming you where no one expects it.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
You know what, continue your dear standa know at Covino
and Rich on social media. I'd love to see everyone's
wish out there. You're saying, put Anthony Vopie on the
bench and signed Boba Schett.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
There you go, Hey, Merry Christmas. Stay safe to you
and your families. Appreciate all the Covino Rich support. Thank you,
Dan Patrick and the dan Nets. Until next time, all
rive it there at you baby.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
See you in the Promised Land. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Christ chriss right, Merry Christmas.
