Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Happy Honika, Happy belated Christmas. I hope you had a
Speaker 2: great one again. All we want for Christmas is a
Speaker 2: Darth Vader helmet. All we want for Christmas is for
Speaker 2: you to follow our podcast search Covino and Rich Revue
Speaker 2: stream do it. I have a bonus podcast called over Promised.
Speaker 2: In fact, Rich, we're gonna highlight over Promised, our bonus
Speaker 2: pot on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page with a conversation
Speaker 2: titled the Wildest Sports Stories.
Speaker 3: Of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to that plus old school and fifty
Speaker 2: hits and what did Lebron say about the NFL yesterday?
Speaker 2: We got that coming up. But back to your phone
Speaker 2: calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine one Fox. I'm
Speaker 2: Steve Cavino live in Jersey. That's Rich neg Mark and
Speaker 2: Spotty back on the West Side.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at the AFC playoff picture and I want
Speaker 5: to just break it down. Let me get my cardboard
Speaker 5: and do some breakdancing. Let me break this down real quick,
Speaker 5: right quick, don't get to the phone calls. A lot
Speaker 5: of people want to talk about the NBA and Lebron.
Speaker 5: I see NBA phone calls on hold. I said that
Speaker 5: it's a three headed monster and it's gonna be a
Speaker 5: fourth teen that makes it to the divisional round. That
Speaker 5: it's gonna be like a really nice moment for the organization, Like,
Speaker 5: good for you, you made it to the second rounds
Speaker 5: of the playoffs. But let's not be fooled here. Kansas
Speaker 5: City Chiefs are the one seed they play in that
Speaker 5: divisional round. Automatically, as you know, as Andy Reid dressed
Speaker 5: up as Santa Claus and Mahomes and Kelsey made the
Speaker 5: world hate and love them all at the same time.
Speaker 3: I hate them.
Speaker 5: Speaking of my Darth Vader helmet. Are they turning to
Speaker 5: the dark side a little bit?
Speaker 2: Because again, when I'm on the plane, I'm just reading
Speaker 2: feedback a lot of people hating on there subtle arrogance.
Speaker 5: After the game, Danny, there was a sense of I
Speaker 5: hate them, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes said he was watching his diet and he
Speaker 6: didn't want to eat the football cake.
Speaker 3: We're like, bro, you're famous for your dad bod.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm trying to cut back on the calories. Yeah,
Speaker 7: so I'm gonna laugh the cake right now. But we
Speaker 7: pretty much dominated the whole game, and I got a
Speaker 7: cool jacking on right now.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 5: You see you see RG three in the postgame, Bury's
Speaker 5: facing that cake. He was like, Oh, I'm like, damn,
Speaker 5: it's not the first time he's buried his face and
Speaker 5: some cake. You're probably right. So your thoughts on Netflix,
Speaker 5: your thoughts on the NFL. But let me just finalize
Speaker 5: the AFC playoff. Pitcher thought Kansas City and the Super
Speaker 5: Confident and they should be Kansas City Chiefs. At fifteen
Speaker 5: to one, they get to buy. After that, we talked
Speaker 5: about it's all about Buffalo and Baltimore and those two
Speaker 5: teams that have elite talent, Lamar Josh Allen, two of
Speaker 5: your MVP candidates. It really doesn't get better than what
Speaker 5: the AFC is bringing right now with those top three
Speaker 5: teams Kansas City, Buffalo and Baltimore.
Speaker 3: After that, the four seed.
Speaker 2: By the way, Lamar Jackson wasn't eating any cake either.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw that, to be fair, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he turned it down. They just said, hey, prove that
Speaker 2: it's cake, and he opened up the football and it
Speaker 2: was cake, but he didn't have any.
Speaker 5: Wow, A cool cross promotion for Netflix in your cake.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, what do you think, guy from Stranger Things?
Speaker 5: How about you, squid game writer? So you got the
Speaker 5: four seed as the Houston Texans we saw yesterday. As
Speaker 5: much as you like to root for CJ. Stroud and
Speaker 5: that team really did turn around their organization faster than
Speaker 5: you thought postseason for a second year in a row.
Speaker 5: They can't compete at that level. And I'm not saying
Speaker 5: anything we don't already know. When you put the Houston
Speaker 5: Texans up against the three elite, they're gonna fall flat.
Speaker 3: Then the five seed Pittsburgh, you saw what happened yesterday.
Speaker 5: A couple of balls could have bounced their way in
Speaker 5: the first half, and Mike tom would have been pointed
Speaker 5: it out. If you want to be the team like
Speaker 5: Kansas City, they can't fumble and have the ball bounce
Speaker 5: right back into their hands.
Speaker 3: You can't drop two interceptions. You can't. You can't do
Speaker 3: those type of things and expect to compete.
Speaker 5: And then you say, well, the two wild cards after
Speaker 5: that likely going to be the Chargers and the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 3: To AFC West teams.
Speaker 5: The only way I see any team making any like
Speaker 5: whoa making some noise might be if the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 5: slip into the playoffs, because I don't know if you're
Speaker 5: aware of how the Bengals somehow, some way could have
Speaker 5: a shot because they played the Broncos this coming week,
Speaker 5: they win that game, they end against the Steelers. If
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow and the Bengals slipping at nine to eight
Speaker 5: and they're clicking offensively, that could be a team like
Speaker 5: oh Man, maybe Cincinnati gets hot at the right time
Speaker 5: and that was a playoff expected team. But to me,
Speaker 5: it really is the dominant three headed monster of the AFC,
Speaker 5: mahomes Lamar Josh Allen.
Speaker 6: Bengals have a twenty four percent chance right now to
Speaker 6: make the playoffs. If they got to win out obviously,
Speaker 6: then they need a lot of help.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the help they need, the Denver help they need,
Speaker 5: isn't that bad because Denver has to play the Bengal,
Speaker 5: so Burrow that's a must win obviously, and then the
Speaker 5: Chiefs go to Denver. So unless you think the Chiefs
Speaker 5: are going to rest everyone, which they might not, Danny,
Speaker 5: because they have a bye week, So if they don't
Speaker 5: play people week eighteen, then you tell me you want
Speaker 5: Mahomes Kelsey and Hollywood Brown, who's just getting acclimated. Do
Speaker 5: you think you want to rest them for three full weeks?
Speaker 5: Then they also need the Colts and the Dolphins to
Speaker 5: each lose.
Speaker 3: They need help.
Speaker 5: But when you look at the schedule Cincinnati, it's not
Speaker 5: crazy to think that they slide in. So your thoughts
Speaker 5: and then let me throwing the NBA now coming out,
Speaker 5: because I know people want to talk about that Lebron
Speaker 5: James after what many called one of the better Christmas
Speaker 5: games ever.
Speaker 3: Dude, it was crazy back and forth in they game,
Speaker 3: crazy back and forth. Lebron comes out on top and
Speaker 3: he said this, I love the NFL.
Speaker 4: I love NFL.
Speaker 3: Christmas.
Speaker 8: Our day.
Speaker 3: Is Christmas the NBA's day. And did the NBA actually
Speaker 3: win it?
Speaker 2: They may have just based on that Lakers Golden State
Speaker 2: Warriors game and the lopsided scores of the NFL that
Speaker 2: we already discussed. Lakers win one, fifteen, one thirteen, but
Speaker 2: that back and forth at the end sort of had
Speaker 2: you at the edge of your seat. Steph Curry hitting shots.
Speaker 2: Lakers still win it, But I think what upsets you
Speaker 2: is the fact that you know the NBA could be
Speaker 2: that all the time.
Speaker 3: It just isn't right. You know what the NBA is
Speaker 3: capable of, and it's.
Speaker 5: That take on your anniversary when the your wife does
Speaker 5: all kinky stuff. You can do this all the time
Speaker 5: if you want, right, it's a good annealegible. That really
Speaker 5: is a good anog. I mean like just like that,
Speaker 5: I mean, spot when the NBA delivers like that, You're like,
Speaker 5: you can't do this all the time.
Speaker 3: What this a couple of times a year? Wait, that's
Speaker 3: usually off the table.
Speaker 6: Well, Steph was still chucking up threes with his eyes closed,
Speaker 6: but he made that one at the end, which was amazing.
Speaker 6: Lebron and Steph were vintage NBA All Stars, Lebron with
Speaker 6: thirty one, Steph with thirty two. Almost identical stats for
Speaker 6: both the guys. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,
Speaker 6: Cove that What stood out about this is what we've
Speaker 6: all been screaming and yelling, drive to the hoop. We
Speaker 6: want to see more dirty dunks and we want to
Speaker 6: see players go to the rim. And Austin Reeves took
Speaker 6: the ball and drove for the final seconds there instead
Speaker 6: of chucking up a bad shot.
Speaker 2: Got lots of props on that it was nice to see,
Speaker 2: like Danny G said, and it really did remind you
Speaker 2: that the NBA is capable of some excitement.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: That was a great game, lot of history there.
Speaker 2: The Lakers come out on top with a like Danny
Speaker 2: G said, a cool bucket from Reeves, some great shots
Speaker 2: by Curry.
Speaker 3: You know, if you want to go, what was more exciting?
Speaker 4: Rich?
Speaker 2: The NBA did sort of win in that sense, but
Speaker 2: overall the season, the NFL wins.
Speaker 3: But what what do you think about? What Lebron had
Speaker 3: to say is really what we're asking here. Let's let's
Speaker 3: go to tea in Georgia. You're all a convenient on Rich.
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 9: MANDNR?
Speaker 4: What's that?
Speaker 9: Fellas shout out in an ag shout out spots for
Speaker 9: the rest of the crew. Listen, I got a couple
Speaker 9: of things. I wrote them down this time. I'm not
Speaker 9: gonna get flustered. So about the Buffalo, Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore,
Speaker 9: that's my that's my that's my three. I got Cincinnati.
Speaker 9: I would love to have Cincinnati come in there in
Speaker 9: the end, But like y'all said, they need a lot
Speaker 9: of help. Holliday hat trick. That's one of the best names.
Speaker 9: I need to keep that for whenever y'all do a
Speaker 9: little two in a space and then another one. And
Speaker 9: also for the NBA. I think the reason why the
Speaker 9: NBA has such a good model is because they're there.
Speaker 9: They have enough games to where they have these spaced
Speaker 9: out events where you can tune into those events Christmaday,
Speaker 9: all Star Playoffs. You know, with the NFL being only
Speaker 9: seventeen sixteen, you know games, you're moments in tune to
Speaker 9: being paid attention to every single one of those games
Speaker 9: and kind of following those games. The NBA has, you know,
Speaker 9: enough to wear in those moments like Christmas, like yesterday,
Speaker 9: a slew of great games, and you know that they're
Speaker 9: capable of those every so often. You just can't pull
Speaker 9: it out every you know, all eighty two, you feel me.
Speaker 9: That's why you know MLB is so kind of shaky
Speaker 9: with one hundred and sixty two games, But they're changed
Speaker 9: their model, so you know, that's basically it.
Speaker 5: But a great Yeah, take great points, bro, great call,
Speaker 5: and Rich I gotta give you props too. That was
Speaker 5: a great bedroom analogy. When it came to the NBA,
Speaker 5: you are left feeling that way.
Speaker 2: That was a Christmas Classic and real quick my thoughts
Speaker 2: on what Lebron had to say, it would have brought
Speaker 2: me the wrong way.
Speaker 5: Hadn't they won and hadn't they delivered in a Christmas
Speaker 5: Classic in that way?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: But I think there's some truth to what he said
Speaker 3: right there. I mean, based on that game.
Speaker 5: If you want to make it less smutty, you could
Speaker 5: say generally in a relationship, when a guy does something romantic,
Speaker 5: you know a lot of times a wife or girlfriend
Speaker 5: is thinking, like, see you have it in you, Like
Speaker 5: you just choose not to be romantic. Like I said,
Speaker 5: you know, someone gets kinky in the bedroom on your anniversary.
Speaker 5: A lot of times you would think, like, you know,
Speaker 5: we could do this on a random Wednesday night. It
Speaker 5: doesn't need to be only on special vacation occasions or
Speaker 5: stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Dude, That's the exact feeling I had when I saw
Speaker 2: the Lakers beat the Warriors in that back and forth.
Speaker 2: I'm like, the NBA is capable of such so much
Speaker 2: excitement here, you know, where they can be more exciting
Speaker 2: than the NFL.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be a conspiracy guy. I guess
Speaker 3: as much as I love.
Speaker 5: Jesse Ventura, the Denver Airport Area fifty one. I'm not
Speaker 5: conspiracy ah JFK. I'm not a conspiracy guy. But would
Speaker 5: it surprise you if you were to say, get win
Speaker 5: that Adam Silver called up teams and was like, y'all
Speaker 5: bring it.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 5: I don't think he would need to do that for
Speaker 5: a Christmas game. I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying
Speaker 5: like scripted or anything like that. I'm saying, what a
Speaker 5: chock you of Adam Silver is Like, all right, Christmas Day, guys,
Speaker 5: and remember commissioner here, you know, but guys, you know
Speaker 5: a lot at stake here, Chris's day.
Speaker 4: Bring it.
Speaker 3: I think every Danny's right.
Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised rich, but I think
Speaker 2: everybody sort of knew that and felt that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: When you see Starting five on Netflix, Jason Tatum was
Speaker 6: upset last season because he had to leave his family
Speaker 6: and they were trying to get to the game and everything.
Speaker 6: But he said, all the eyes, we know the whole
Speaker 6: world is watching our game. So he was excited for
Speaker 6: that reason. And I think that's the mindset of most
Speaker 6: NBA players.
Speaker 3: Steph.
Speaker 6: You know, he thought that he finished with thirty eight
Speaker 6: by the way, and Lebron always turned on the last.
Speaker 10: Year.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, and Lebron always knows when you know, he
Speaker 6: how many households he's visiting. So those guys didn't need.
Speaker 5: Any Santa Claus now yeah, sees you when you're sleeping too.
Speaker 5: We just got the Santa Beard now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: On Christmas Eve, my kids and I were watching Lebron Tracker.
Speaker 5: You know, let's take let's take the four five.
Speaker 3: Let's take a call from Andy and Rhodeye hours.
Speaker 5: Andy wanted to talk n B A and earlier in
Speaker 5: the show, Covino, you're talking about that lost gift from
Speaker 5: your childhood where you always wanted to like, where did
Speaker 5: it go?
Speaker 3: What's up? Andy? A?
Speaker 10: B Oh. The way I look at it with the NFL,
Speaker 10: it was great. I think they learned a lot from
Speaker 10: to type it in logan Paul fight to really know
Speaker 10: J Paul, I means sorry.
Speaker 3: About that brum.
Speaker 10: You know, not have any bluffers happening during the live
Speaker 10: stream pre recording videos out of the question.
Speaker 9: And I just like to sprinkled his in.
Speaker 10: Lebron and Steph Curry, they are the gift that just
Speaker 10: keeps on giving. Yeah, honestly, what is the NBA going
Speaker 10: to do when they are not here.
Speaker 2: That is a great question fall off, like like it
Speaker 2: did when Jordan retired. It's you need your star stars
Speaker 2: stars now they're stars. But we we talked about this
Speaker 2: previously on Fox Sports Radio, where some of the stars
Speaker 2: either don't want to be stars, or there's like a
Speaker 2: cultural disconnect or like a disinterest in like a Luca
Speaker 2: or a Yo Kitch or you know, some of these
Speaker 2: European players don't have that bam, you know, and no
Speaker 2: one will deny his great he's not the guy that's
Speaker 2: going to be the face of the NBA that's going
Speaker 2: to get you tuned in.
Speaker 3: It's just not going to happen.
Speaker 5: Let's say, how to Aaron one last phone call and
Speaker 5: then uh, we'll move on. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 3: Give me on right, Sharon?
Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 8: Guy?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 11: I was calling in regards to how you guys are
Speaker 11: talking about the toys and stuff. Yeah, Well, my mom
Speaker 11: when we were younger, she threw away our comic books
Speaker 11: number one, two, four. What Yeah, by the way, that's it.
Speaker 11: That's all.
Speaker 5: That's unbelievably the sad story of so many of our
Speaker 5: parents generation, right, like how many Taleyball cards.
Speaker 3: But now currently Pokemon cards, which I hear that all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 5: Mom throwing my Pokemon. But yeah, Aaron, you ain't kidding.
Speaker 5: There was a I feel like it was our parent generation.
Speaker 5: If you're roughly forty, your dad was probably collecting Mickey
Speaker 5: Mantles and Roger Maris's and Jackie Robinson's and your your
Speaker 5: grandmother threw them out. But you rich, you made such
Speaker 5: a good point before all the crap they kept, right,
Speaker 5: Like you decided to keep the pogo stick and the
Speaker 5: croquet set, but for some reason you had to throw
Speaker 5: away my baseball cards and my you know whatever was
Speaker 5: valuable to me.
Speaker 3: But for every like valuable item that ended up becoming
Speaker 3: more valuable.
Speaker 5: There was like a beanie baby that you didn't need, no,
Speaker 5: So it was like it was through the way that
Speaker 5: Princess Diana beanie baby. You didn't know, you know, you know,
Speaker 5: my ife and I had this dumb thought when we
Speaker 5: were wrapping presents for the kids the other night, and
Speaker 5: you look at unopened toys from our childhood and now
Speaker 5: they're super expensive, Like look an unopened he Man or
Speaker 5: even at the original iPhone, the iPhone one unopened is
Speaker 5: like tens of thousands of dollars in auction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ken, Golden problem is it? Is it ever your instinct?
Speaker 5: Is it ever your instinct to be like, should I
Speaker 5: buy a couple of random things and just not open them?
Speaker 6: Do you know my grandmother in Long Beach, she threw
Speaker 6: away my grandpa's Playboy collection, but in her garage our
Speaker 6: old roller skates and skateboards with steel wheels, like metal
Speaker 6: wheels in her rest.
Speaker 2: She kept those. That's the commonality here. I think that's
Speaker 2: the greatest point we've made so far.
Speaker 5: Your mom threw away all your sweet Yankees memorabilia, but
Speaker 5: she kept your She kept your social studies notebook from
Speaker 5: a grant, dude.
Speaker 3: That's the truth.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: Yet she has my trapper keeper upstairs for some reason.
Speaker 2: And I want to make this point before we move on.
Speaker 2: We have so much to get to On the Cavino
Speaker 2: and Rich Show, and for Dan Patrick, Lebron James and
Speaker 2: what he said, I sort of like that, man. I
Speaker 2: think that's the kind of attitude you have to have
Speaker 2: in anything, into everything you do, because if these guys
Speaker 2: don't care, then why should we care? And I like
Speaker 2: that fight in that pride that Lebron James expressed in
Speaker 2: his Lakers in his game, essentially in the NBA. He
Speaker 2: was defending the NBA there, and that's like you and
Speaker 2: I defending radio. Like if someone says, yeah, man, you
Speaker 2: know with streaming and podcast radios.
Speaker 5: Dying you as a radio host, what would you say
Speaker 5: was like, you're wrong. Audio entertainment all time high, and
Speaker 5: you start getting defensive.
Speaker 3: And right because you have a pride in that right.
Speaker 5: And I don't have any sort of bad feelings when
Speaker 5: I hear Lebron take ownership and pride in the NBA there,
Speaker 5: I sort of want that from the face of the league.
Speaker 2: I think he's doing what he's supposed to be doing.
Speaker 2: He delivered on the biggest day. I think that's a
Speaker 2: great sign that he's like, yeah, I love the NFL.
Speaker 2: And he said it respectfully. Yeah, because who doesn't look it?
Speaker 5: And if you missed hearing Lebron say it, take a
Speaker 5: listen one more time yesterday after the Lakers game.
Speaker 3: I love the NFL. I love NFL Christmas Our Day.
Speaker 3: A playful, prideful statement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it garnered some speculation and some eye rolls, but honestly,
Speaker 2: he did the right thing there. And I think all
Speaker 2: of us would do that and something that we all
Speaker 2: take pride, and that's what you want from a leader
Speaker 2: and from again the face of your organization.
Speaker 5: But the cliff Notes version of the last half hour
Speaker 5: of conversation Netflix did a fine job Lebron and Steph delivered.
Speaker 5: Yet you go on social media and there's still hater
Speaker 5: hater haters, there's still people hating.
Speaker 3: And it to me because what rich day? Ain't playing
Speaker 3: playing plays?
Speaker 5: It's fascinating that on a day where you're probably opening
Speaker 5: gifts with your kids, it's a joyful day. You got
Speaker 5: to see some Randall family members. You were wearing your
Speaker 5: pajamas all day? Like what why do you Why is
Speaker 5: your instinct to hate? Just think about that as you
Speaker 5: move into twenty twenty five? Why lead with that? Stinks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know I like that thought too. We're entering
Speaker 3: a new year.
Speaker 5: If we have any influence at all, we should all
Speaker 5: change at the fall and help in assisting other people change.
Speaker 3: You have their default, like, hey, dude, you need a hug?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 5: I'm not sure it'd be all uh, you know, I'm
Speaker 5: not like Tony Robbins or anything. I'm not trying to
Speaker 5: be like Gary vayner Chuk. I'm not some motivational speaker,
Speaker 5: but what I'm saying is it is very instinctual sports music.
Speaker 3: Anything to be like that stinks.
Speaker 5: How about just take a step back and say, you know, Netflix,
Speaker 5: that was their first go at it with the NFL.
Speaker 5: Man they put together a decent broadcast team that the
Speaker 5: broadcast was clear, the graphics were good, the game's sort
Speaker 5: of stunk. But and by the way, it's probably where
Speaker 5: the future is heading, right, So what do you do?
Speaker 5: Be the reluctant guy and then the guy who's not
Speaker 5: on board, maybe the old guys, and you say, all right,
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm not the biggest Beyonce fan. I
Speaker 5: respect a hell out of her, but I'm not like
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not downloading Queen Bee albums the minute
Speaker 5: they come out. But you had to acknowledge the fact
Speaker 5: that she brought out some stars post Malowe was there.
Speaker 5: It was an extended halftime, and some would argue more
Speaker 5: entertaining than a lot of NFL halftime shows.
Speaker 3: So you know what, Beyonce, that was probably a big
Speaker 3: win for the NFL.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to not come across as a hater.
Speaker 5: If you were used to be stunk it was Christmas
Speaker 5: you had two football games on Get over yourself.

Speaker 5: but you did. How did it make you feel?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 3: Tell us about that moment.
Speaker 8: Hey, television had really changed, but that became a big thing.
Speaker 8: That's just so ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Did you expect that to be even a little story
Speaker 3: when the fight was over.
Speaker 8: That's I've looked. I've been that way my whole career.
Speaker 8: My butt be shown on took a picture of it.
Speaker 5: Hey, did you ever think, well, maybe it's just better
Speaker 5: than ever? Because it seemed like the whole world is
Speaker 5: taken by it? Hey, man, I guess so the time ever, Mike,
Speaker 5: as we as we signed on here to see you,
Speaker 5: you lit up Tyson two point oh. Last time we

Speaker 3: I love them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I gotta tell you, I see Aaron Rodgers doing ayahuasca.
Speaker 5: You were smoking toad venom, you got, Tyson two point zero?
Speaker 5: Tell us what we got to be trying? And what
Speaker 5: do you recommend for a guy that's open to this?
Speaker 4: Hey, I recommend you try everything?
Speaker 3: Yeah, open your mind though.
Speaker 4: You try everything?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what would you say you've learned from your experiences
Speaker 5: with toad venom and all your experiences.
Speaker 8: That definitely beautiful and definitely nothing to be afraid of.
Speaker 3: Is that why you're willing to leave it all in
Speaker 3: the ring?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I think that's just my personality, but that what I love. Well, Mom,
Speaker 8: all of this medicine was not to be afraid of that.
Speaker 2: You know, that's kind of an interesting statement because a
Speaker 2: lot of us think about those things right before we're
Speaker 2: going to sleep, right, some deeper stuff. If you're not
Speaker 2: afraid of things like that, Mike, from your experiences, what
Speaker 2: do you think about before you go to bed? What
Speaker 2: sort of stuff runs to your mind?
Speaker 8: Listen, I don't think about always trying to be the
Speaker 8: best that could possibly be, the best me that could
Speaker 8: be before I go to bed.
Speaker 2: Well, you're a great dad. We know that you're a
Speaker 2: great family man. Congrats on your beautiful family. We saw
Speaker 2: your family on the Netflix special. We saw your daughter
Speaker 2: is a great tennis player. We saw you there supporting
Speaker 2: your daughter. Is there any other sport Mike Tyson could
Speaker 2: have competed in besides boxing?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I would like to try tennis. Well,
Speaker 4: do you ever tennis fans over here?
Speaker 3: Are you any good? Have you tried or no?
Speaker 4: So I tried to hit the ball before it? What's
Speaker 4: so far in the here?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 5: Imagine Mike in the eighties wearing those little John McEnroe shorts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like me playing baseballscket.
Speaker 2: No, but you're such a disciplined guy, right, and you
Speaker 2: could be great at anything you put your mind to
Speaker 2: show that in boxing. Do you think there's another sport
Speaker 2: you could have been a professional at if you dedicated
Speaker 2: yourself to that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I had no idea about that.
Speaker 3: No, just boxing.
Speaker 4: Well I knew is boxing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike, I'm a big Mets fan and I there's
Speaker 5: a classic picture of you in the eighties with Darryl
Speaker 5: Strawberry and Doc Goodin, and you know, at the height
Speaker 5: of what they were doing and what you were doing.
Speaker 5: What athletes now are you intrigued by? Like, who are
Speaker 5: you following in the boxing world, NBA football? There other
Speaker 5: athletes you keep your eye on.
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just a guy chilling out.
Speaker 8: I'm not much of it. I don't watch sports much
Speaker 8: besides tennis.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Most of the most of the guys that played for
Speaker 8: that I know is the athlete's a friend of mine.
Speaker 4: They don't blame anymore.
Speaker 2: So we got to talk about the fight. Mike Tyson's
Speaker 2: here on the Cavino and Rich Show. What do you
Speaker 2: have to say to all the critics who say you
Speaker 2: held back on punches? There was a lot of viral clips.
Speaker 2: What do you to say to the critics that brought
Speaker 2: that up.
Speaker 4: Oh, no, I don't remember the fight that much. I'm
Speaker 4: kind of blanked out a little bit.
Speaker 3: Did you watch it back or anything, or no, we'll
Speaker 3: watch the fight.
Speaker 4: No, I had not.
Speaker 2: Okay, So there was a lot of casual fans. First,
Speaker 2: I want to thank you again for bringing people together.
Speaker 2: It was like the nineties all over again. We got
Speaker 2: together with friends, we had a great night. It was
Speaker 2: highly entertaining. But then of course clips go viral. A
Speaker 2: lot of casual fans speculating there's a few clips where
Speaker 2: like you're holding back a right hand punch, in my
Speaker 2: opinion as a fan, to not be exposed so that
Speaker 2: you don't get hit.
Speaker 3: Is that what was happening in that clip? Or you
Speaker 3: don't even know?
Speaker 8: I was, let's know what I remember, No, coming back
Speaker 8: from the first round and then the next ding.
Speaker 4: I remember Jacob doing some kind of I don't know
Speaker 4: what was he doing?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, little bow with the doubt last I remember, dude.
Speaker 5: There was a lot of people online that said, that's
Speaker 5: when you should have hit him when he was bound.
Speaker 3: Down like that, that's why get married.
Speaker 4: I was like, what was he doing?
Speaker 3: So it went that quick for you? Yeah, Mike, I
Speaker 3: was tie you.
Speaker 8: I was a sweaty I went to the hotel. No,
Speaker 8: I went to the house that we stayed in and
Speaker 8: I left the house, name my wife, my kid. Then
Speaker 8: we went to the after party, then we came back.
Speaker 2: So for us, right, it was two minute rounds and
Speaker 2: it felt really quick for us. We're like, dang, we
Speaker 2: wanted more. Is there anything about the fight you would
Speaker 2: have changed based on the experience.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I listen. I wouldn't have realized any of it if
Speaker 8: it went three minute round I didn't realize.
Speaker 5: The question you come down to the ring solo. I
Speaker 5: can only imagine there were people that wanted to come
Speaker 5: down to the ring with you. Who wanted to come
Speaker 5: down to the ring, And why did you choose to
Speaker 5: have no one with you?
Speaker 8: Hey, listen, someone you say, Mike, is your time to
Speaker 8: come out?
Speaker 4: And I just came out.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 3: I would assume anyone wanted to come back.
Speaker 5: I would assume there was there was Sabriday celebrities, you know, colleagues,
Speaker 5: you know friends of yours that wanted to be out there,
Speaker 5: but you did it.
Speaker 3: We were rooting for you. Man pulling for you so hard.
Speaker 2: And I know you often say we're fans Mike, you
Speaker 2: don't care about ego and legacy, But after something like that,
Speaker 2: do you think it adds to your legacy?
Speaker 3: How do you think you're viewed after this fight?
Speaker 4: Wow? I thought about that, you know.
Speaker 8: But the day after the fight, right after the day after,
Speaker 8: I told my wife why.
Speaker 4: Did I do that? I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 4: what the hell go go?
Speaker 3: And what was her response? Like, what was your family's
Speaker 3: response to everything?
Speaker 4: It was just supporting me.
Speaker 3: I can only imagine.
Speaker 5: I So, we saw your great relationship with your daughter,
Speaker 5: like if you don't said on the Netflix special and
Speaker 5: by the way, Mike, you're.
Speaker 3: Brushing your teeth, wore net or what working on it?
Speaker 5: Well? Okay, okay, I saw the great relationship you had
Speaker 5: as a dad and daughter. It was it cool for
Speaker 5: your family to see that the public rallied around you
Speaker 5: so much All these years later, I feel like everyone
Speaker 5: I knew was just like, come on, let's go, Mike.
Speaker 5: You had the world behind you. Is that a cool
Speaker 5: feeling to know you still had it in your family?
Speaker 3: To see that.
Speaker 4: I'm still happy. I am happy with my family.
Speaker 8: For that, But we don't normally go around and talk
Speaker 8: about me fighting, and so I say I'm a fight
Speaker 8: and then they say, you know, Dad's gonna fight.
Speaker 3: Right, So that was like a different side of them
Speaker 3: of you for your.
Speaker 4: Like a party for the like going out, but normally, yeah, Dad,
Speaker 4: he's gonna fight.
Speaker 2: It was a party for everybody. Man Rich and I
Speaker 2: were buddies in Miami rooting you on. Now, there's been
Speaker 2: a lot of rumors since the fight. Are there any
Speaker 2: rumors you'd like to clear up or is there any
Speaker 2: truth to any of the rumors? Is there anything you
Speaker 2: want to share with the Fox Sports Radio Nation about
Speaker 2: what's next?
Speaker 4: The real fight?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a real fight. What did you think
Speaker 3: of Jake's power? Man, when you were in there, I
Speaker 3: don't remember, you don't you didn't even remember it.
Speaker 4: I heard, but my body was really sore.
Speaker 3: It was sore the next day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my body, my chest and my stomach and stuff
Speaker 4: was really sore.
Speaker 2: Well, dude, you were You were in great shape. You
Speaker 2: still look great, Mike Mike Tyson on the Coveno on
Speaker 2: Rich Show. Speaking of rumors, there was a rumor today
Speaker 2: that one of your buddies that you fought not too
Speaker 2: long ago. Roy Jones Junior said that he wants to
Speaker 2: maybe test it out with Jake Paul and test Jake
Speaker 2: Paul's chin.
Speaker 5: He's fifty five years old. You think that Roy Jones
Speaker 5: Junior can handle something like that?
Speaker 3: You were just there.
Speaker 8: He's bast enough though. Yeah, if Roy's training, Roy could
Speaker 8: still do a lot of stuff. He got to be training, though.
Speaker 8: Do they have to be training now?
Speaker 3: Mike d much as hard he does. I know, he's
Speaker 3: a big dude man.
Speaker 5: So well, you know years ago you talked about the
Speaker 5: fighting guts, right, you didn't have the fighting guts years
Speaker 5: ago to continue going on.
Speaker 3: So what inspired you at fifty eight to do it finally?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Just yeah, let's fight, Jake. You know we were talking,
Speaker 4: We're talking about it for years.
Speaker 3: Let's just do it, just for the on of it,
Speaker 3: for the excitement of it, and to be part of history.
Speaker 5: I mean, and I'm sure Mike the payday sort of
Speaker 5: helped out a little bit too, right, I mean, it's
Speaker 5: it was no, oh no, this is.
Speaker 8: That that payday is not going to change my lifestyle
Speaker 8: at all.
Speaker 5: Well, I see, is that your house right there? You're
Speaker 5: living in a beautiful place. It looks like you're living
Speaker 5: large right now watching.
Speaker 4: Them very a foridunate.
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank god, a lot of whack boat Mike.
Speaker 5: Of all of all the pop culture moments you brought us,
Speaker 5: you know, for for guys that are in our age range,
Speaker 5: the fight you delivered, Mike, Tyson's punch Out, the Hangover?
Speaker 3: What are you most shocked by the people? Remember? Is
Speaker 3: it the cameo on the Hangover? Is it the video game?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: What do you shock that was as popular as it
Speaker 3: was with your legacy?
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's gonuld be the ad now, but.
Speaker 5: They know, Mike, you should come out with an edible
Speaker 5: Tyson's butt cheeks right so that people can eat it.
Speaker 3: Well, I like like that Tyson's cheeks, sweet cheese, Tyson's
Speaker 3: sweet cheeks. I can see it now. You know Rich
Speaker 3: will be the first to eat them. Rich probably wants
Speaker 3: to eat them right now. Rich loves him. You gotta
Speaker 3: give me like a little small percentage, Mike. It's my idea.
Speaker 2: And you know what, Rich we talked to Mike years ago.
Speaker 2: He said, here, Mike, you said you never played the
Speaker 2: video game. You never played Tyson's punch Out. Ever, that's
Speaker 2: what you told us years ago commercials.
Speaker 8: I wasn't in the games back then, ahead of my time.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you're into games now. But
Speaker 2: my next question was what does Mike Tyson do to
Speaker 2: keep himself happy? Obviously you have a beautiful family. What
Speaker 2: brings you the most happiness?
Speaker 3: Now? You had a lot of fun at that fight.
Speaker 3: It was fun for me, is what we.
Speaker 8: Were talking about. That fight was such a bigger sin
Speaker 8: that we were so up and high. Were the fight
Speaker 8: a boom? Wow, I'm kind of depressed a little bit.
Speaker 8: You know, you gotta get back in a situation, back
Speaker 8: to living where we know because we fight, we're training
Speaker 8: for it.
Speaker 5: Nine months Mike, I saw on the docu series on
Speaker 5: Netflix that you were saying, no matter where you go,
Speaker 5: wherever you go, people want to say hi to Mike Tyson.
Speaker 5: And you said your wife said that if that wasn't
Speaker 5: the case, you'd hate it. Do you do you go
Speaker 5: anywhere where someone doesn't recognize you?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 8: No, Yeah, I think my wife said I probably lose
Speaker 8: my mind the way they didn't know me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's got to be fun to be by Tyson. Yeah,
Speaker 5: what is it like, Mike? Do you go grocery shopping
Speaker 5: on your own. I mean, you're probably the most recognizable
Speaker 5: guy on the planet.
Speaker 4: I do everything on my own.
Speaker 8: I will run into a store real quick and buy
Speaker 8: something come out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Are you immune to people's reaction because everywhere you go,
Speaker 2: Like I remember this is years ago. I was on
Speaker 2: West fifty seventh Street in New York City and I
Speaker 2: saw Muhammad Ali walking down the street. But what I
Speaker 2: noticed first was everybody standing still just watching him, like,
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, this is Muhammad Al walking down the street.
Speaker 5: Do you notice people staring at you? And because that's
Speaker 5: a thrill for anybody wherever you are.
Speaker 4: Hey, listen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I had to go to the police station to
Speaker 8: lift my probation officer know I would leave in town.
Speaker 4: All the police were looking at me like wow.
Speaker 2: See to feel great, man, that's the legacy that we're
Speaker 2: talking about. That's important to us because we're such fans, Mike,
Speaker 2: because of Tyson two point zero. I feel like people
Speaker 2: that smoke weed or enjoy that culture. As Mike lights
Speaker 2: up right now, Yeah, people say I want to smoke
Speaker 2: with Snoop Dogg or Willie Nelson. Is Mike Tyson now
Speaker 2: on that list? Of celebrities people want to smoke with.
Speaker 3: Do people come up to you.
Speaker 4: I'm not too exciting when I'm smoking, you know.
Speaker 8: Snooping pretty exciting and animated when he's smoking.
Speaker 4: But it's good to be around him.
Speaker 3: Are you just you just chill? You more like a
Speaker 3: sink into the couch and get all deep.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm just listen.
Speaker 8: I like to listen.
Speaker 3: Who's the coolest guy you smoked with? Your favorite guy
Speaker 3: you smoked with? Or woman?
Speaker 8: Nobody cooler the snoop?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gotta be an experience. Hey, what would have happened?
Speaker 2: We were at your ranch one time, right and you
Speaker 2: were smoking out at your ranch. We were just so
Speaker 2: happy to be there, just taking it all in. But
Speaker 2: there was a part of us that sort of wanted
Speaker 2: to join in a little circle just to say we
Speaker 2: smoked with you. Would that have been overstepping if we
Speaker 2: jumped in.
Speaker 3: That's what smoke blew hotly blew the opportunity because we
Speaker 3: want Yeah, we.
Speaker 2: Kind of wanted to. Hey, Mike, we saw you another
Speaker 2: time in Vegas. You were doing your podcast. Tell us
Speaker 2: about like that journey that venture. Do you like broadcasting?
Speaker 2: Do you like doing podcasting?
Speaker 8: This is something that's funny. My wife got me into
Speaker 8: this stuff. Yeah, I'm not that crazy, but I do
Speaker 8: love it, love it crazy. I'm very good at it.
Speaker 5: Yes, I was just gonna say that. And your your
Speaker 5: one man show, Like, are we going to see more
Speaker 5: of that? Because you you have the post fight blues
Speaker 5: right now? Right, so what is that next thing you're
Speaker 5: gonna dive into? Man, otherwise you're gonna get bored.
Speaker 8: Well, we're working on that right now. We do my
Speaker 8: new shows coming out a nextflick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you aren't.
Speaker 5: You're great at it, man, So even if you don't
Speaker 5: like it for your fans, I think you gotta do
Speaker 5: it now. I feel like, Mike, what about because I
Speaker 5: feel like when I see the podcast you love to
Speaker 5: have deep conversations. Have you ever thought about just sitting
Speaker 5: down with other fighters and celebrities and having like deep conversations.
Speaker 3: Is that sort of what what a TV show might be?
Speaker 8: Not necessarily the deep conversation, but it's explaining to somebody
Speaker 8: that what's your existence?
Speaker 4: Who you are?
Speaker 5: Hey, Mike, you ever sit down with Neil deGrasse Tyson?
Speaker 5: I feel like the other Tyson? I mean that guy's
Speaker 5: pretty deep.
Speaker 4: You know that nothing else, isn't they?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyson and Tyson. That's a good show. Tyson and Tyson. Hey, Mike,
Speaker 2: I know one of your heroes growing up was Berto Duran, Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, from today's perspective, these one thirty five, one forty guys,
Speaker 2: do you think any of those dudes have the same
Speaker 2: fighting guts like of the Devin Haines, Tank Davis's, Ryan Garcia's,
Speaker 2: Tia Fimo's of that.
Speaker 8: We can overlook those guys. Those guys have a tough
Speaker 8: guy they're just different errors.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you have a favorite of all those young guys?
Speaker 5: You keep your ear to that a little bit or
Speaker 5: just heavyweights?
Speaker 8: No, they're all the station too. I think Ryan and
Speaker 8: Devon should fight again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 4: H That was a good fighting man. That was a
Speaker 4: good one.
Speaker 5: Do you still make a night of it? Let's say
Speaker 5: there's a big fight coming up, right, what's it like
Speaker 5: for you? How do you enjoy the fight? Because you
Speaker 5: gave us all these opportunities, all these memories you sold
Speaker 5: us unboxing in the nineties. For me, it was Julio S. Sarchavez.
Speaker 5: Mike Tyson, you know, you'd get a pay per view,
Speaker 5: you'd have friends and family over.
Speaker 3: What's that like?
Speaker 2: If there's a good fight and you're interested, how do
Speaker 2: you party? Do you write people over your house?
Speaker 8: Do you I try to go to the fight if possible,
Speaker 8: but we're not going to the fight. People just come
Speaker 8: over the house as I go with the one's house.
Speaker 3: Mike.
Speaker 5: I've seen you at fights where when they put you
Speaker 5: on the big screen, you get the biggest applause of all.
Speaker 5: Does that make you feel good? Because it's got to right.
Speaker 5: They go around the crowd when they go to Mike Tyson,
Speaker 5: the crowd goes nuts. Is that is that the respect
Speaker 5: you feel?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: You've earned over the years.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm just very grateful, that's all.
Speaker 8: I'm very I'm becoming familiar with the acting gratitude.
Speaker 2: You know, we were talking about other fights. You got
Speaker 2: fury Usik coming up at the end of the month,
Speaker 2: the rematch fury Usik too. Any thoughts on that because
Speaker 2: I know you have connections with Tyson.
Speaker 3: Fury won that fight.
Speaker 4: He wasn't playing around early in the fight.
Speaker 3: I agree, it wasn't that fight. So do you think
Speaker 3: he's got the second one?
Speaker 4: I want him to have. I want him to be
Speaker 4: serious enough, you.
Speaker 5: Know, I know you like him, but how did you
Speaker 5: get in Ghanu's corner against him? I always thought that
Speaker 5: was interesting too, because Fury looks up to you so much.
Speaker 5: Did you feel bad going against him?
Speaker 4: I don't even know how that happened, But I don't
Speaker 4: know how the hell that happened.
Speaker 5: Well, Mike uh Tyson two point zero Mike Tyson dot com.
Speaker 5: People could support all the stuff you're doing, any of
Speaker 5: any other stuff, any other stuff going on right now?
Speaker 3: You got the Netflix thing in the works.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm doing the Nextflix one Man's show and I'm
Speaker 8: a movie again.
Speaker 4: You know, God, woman, you know the sky the limits.
Speaker 3: Nice man.
Speaker 5: Well, the next time we're in Vegas, hopefully bump into
Speaker 5: you and we could take you up on that.
Speaker 3: Maybe have some mic bites together, some edibles.
Speaker 5: No sweet cheeks, Mike sweet Mike sweet cheeks, and then
Speaker 5: the tagline is everybody's eating them.
Speaker 4: Oh God, got the money.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get in on.
Speaker 12: That, Mike.
Speaker 3: We'll see you on Vegas. I'll hang man, let's thank.
Speaker 4: Some money.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Hey, Mike, I want to thank you for everything.
Speaker 2: Congrats on your career, on being a better person, thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you for your time.
Speaker 5: Just thank you and thanks with all the joy you
Speaker 5: brought us. Mike, Thank you guys, have a great one.
Speaker 5: Mike Ray Syson, Mike Tyson there he is Iron Mike.
Speaker 3: That was a lot of fun. So I'm glad we
Speaker 3: got to uh share that with you guys here on
Speaker 3: The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 5: CA.
Speaker 3: You know on Rich filling in Christmas Eve, you think
Speaker 3: you'll get some Mike sweet cheeks and your stocking this
Speaker 3: year or no?
Speaker 5: You know what I as I said in the interview,
Speaker 5: he is on that list now with Snoop Dogg and
Speaker 5: Willie Nelson. You know, people that are into that culture
Speaker 5: would want to smoke with Mike.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 13: W AP Dan Patrick Show here Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington,
Speaker 13: Rady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you. You can find this
Speaker 13: show on the iHeartRadio app and you can always find
Speaker 13: us weekdays Monday through Friday, three to six am Pacific time,
Speaker 13: six to nine am Eastern time here. So we preced
Speaker 13: this show here on The Dan Patrick Show, and apparently
Speaker 13: they've decided you know what.
Speaker 3: We're gonna let you guys go.
Speaker 13: Ahead and sit in for DP and the guys here
Speaker 13: today and then on Monday here as we get you
Speaker 13: set for a busy weekend in the world of football.
Speaker 13: And by the way, some of these bowl games have
Speaker 13: been pretty entertaining. We've got a couple of five or
Speaker 13: six over.
Speaker 14: There about Kansas State last night coming back. That was
Speaker 14: fun Toledo, Chris Climbs an amazing job, man was that.
Speaker 14: I think he's won three bowl games the last four years.
Speaker 14: You'll get enough credit.
Speaker 3: You got a Colorado and BYU this weekend, so that'll
Speaker 3: be a fun one.
Speaker 14: So I did see an article, how what was it
Speaker 14: claiming it was like Deon Sanders gets a historical amount
Speaker 14: of insurance for Shador Sanders and Travis Hunter to play
Speaker 14: in it. It's like, okay, like it's not the first
Speaker 14: time that's ever happened. We don't need to make it
Speaker 14: bigger than what it is. This is actually pretty common
Speaker 14: and this dates back. I don't know decades of players
Speaker 14: get insurance before games. Did you get insurance far I
Speaker 14: certainly did. Sweet, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 12: Yeah, my whole my whole last year, my junior year,
Speaker 12: I got the whole season in short.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, it's common for a
Speaker 14: lot of guys to get insurance before the entire season,
Speaker 14: and it usually ends up being quote unquote historical because
Speaker 14: every year the draft goes up in value as far
Speaker 14: as what that player is making. So if you're slated
Speaker 14: to be a first round pick or however it works,
Speaker 14: or projected to be a top ten pick, whatever it is,
Speaker 14: they're gonna add on what three four percent, whatever it is.
Speaker 14: So every year it's historical in nature.
Speaker 3: But I love how we read the headlines. Now.
Speaker 13: Nick Sirianni's at it again, the pison passion in Philly
Speaker 13: the passion. Apparently he had a little bit of a
Speaker 13: dust up with zach Ertz, former Philadelphia Eagle after the
Speaker 13: game over the weekend where last weekend we're apparently beef water. Yeah,
Speaker 13: it was just kind of, you know, talking trash. He
Speaker 13: made a reference to the fact that zach Ertz didn't
Speaker 13: really do much in the game, according to Nick Sirianni,
Speaker 13: and they had to be separated. I guess they spoke afterwards.
Speaker 13: Zach Ertz said, it's all good, you know whatever, But
Speaker 13: this was Nick Sirianni discussing it yesterday.
Speaker 15: I'll just keep all my conversations with any guys private.
Speaker 15: I got a lot of respect for Zach. A great
Speaker 15: football player, great person to be around, you know, I
Speaker 15: really really got a lot of respect for Zach and
Speaker 15: all the good things that he's done in my relationship
Speaker 15: with him.
Speaker 13: So it sounds like a similar tone to every time
Speaker 13: there's another dust up involving him to where he comes
Speaker 13: back afterwards. Yeah, you know, listen whether he takes a
Speaker 13: shot at the fans, whether it was getting into it,
Speaker 13: you know, and yelling obscenities at Mike McCarthy last year
Speaker 13: the week, like is this just is this why there's
Speaker 13: speculation that he could be on the hot seat, Like
Speaker 13: it has nothing to do with the winds because he's
Speaker 13: won a ton of games there in Philly, But it's
Speaker 13: all the other stuff off the field that they can't trust.
Speaker 12: Him, you know. You know what's interesting about the question
Speaker 12: is when you think about when when when a player
Speaker 12: or a person in the business world, or you know, a.
Speaker 3: Bull and in the bull you know, like you're doing bull.
Speaker 12: Riding or whatever it may be, you know, what you
Speaker 12: do to get them to perform at times you agitate them.
Speaker 3: Hey, how do they go about agitating them?
Speaker 12: They poke them, and that them truck nuts. I've seen it,
Speaker 12: and I can't believe it. They make them to go there,
Speaker 12: They make them bulls so upset by poking them in
Speaker 12: their sack. And I'm telling you it is the wildest thing,
Speaker 12: because once they let them free, that agitation is the
Speaker 12: reason why that that riter is in such a bad
Speaker 12: way when they get out there in in the arena,
Speaker 12: all right, And I think siriani is is a poker.
Speaker 3: I think you're saying he's doing that as motivation. They're winning.
Speaker 12: And I haven't heard anything come out and report manner
Speaker 12: that would lead me to believe otherwise, other than last
Speaker 12: year when Don wasn't on the sideline and seems things
Speaker 12: things seem to be spiraling a little bit last year,
Speaker 12: But since then, I just haven't heard anything that would
Speaker 12: lead me to believe that Sirianni is this toxic type
Speaker 12: of dude that is ruining the culture or ruining the
Speaker 12: locker room. And with the way that he is, I
Speaker 12: almost feel like it's quite quite the opposite. They're all
Speaker 12: kind of chippy, they're all kind of coming at it
Speaker 12: from from that kind of like beefing type of approach,
Speaker 12: like we're we're Philadelphians, Like we're Philadelphia, we beef that's
Speaker 12: what we do. We're tough where heart knows, like we're
Speaker 12: blue collar. Like it feels as though that that's kind
Speaker 12: of what the approach is. But I'm gonna lean more
Speaker 12: to that than I would say that this is why
Speaker 12: he's on a hot seat for not keeping his job.
Speaker 3: What else could point? I don't know.
Speaker 12: It's not performing. I think he rubbed some people the
Speaker 12: wrong way though, and they don't like it. But I
Speaker 12: still think he gets results off of the way he's
Speaker 12: running things.
Speaker 13: It's like I'm looking at it, there's two teams that
Speaker 13: have had better records and more wins since he took
Speaker 13: the job in Philadelphia, Buffalo and Kansas City, and like
Speaker 13: he's rare air, yes, and so the and but yet
Speaker 13: we're having these conversations before the year and it's you know,
Speaker 13: died down a little bit, but it's like, hey, what
Speaker 13: do they need to do for him to keep his job.
Speaker 13: Any other organization like he would already have an extension,
Speaker 13: there'd be conversations about what a performance he's off.
Speaker 3: To this hot start, But with Sirianni.
Speaker 13: Is this all about the fact that he's a red
Speaker 13: ass and just likes to mix it up with people
Speaker 13: and he's pissed people.
Speaker 3: Off, And that's why because I guess I'd look at
Speaker 3: it this way. I think Hallie Roseman really runs things there.
Speaker 14: And I think if you go back to even Chip Kelly,
Speaker 14: who we tend to forget, he was what twenty six
Speaker 14: twenty one. I think he won ten games two years
Speaker 14: in a row there and went to the playoffs, and
Speaker 14: he had rubbed some players the wrong way during his
Speaker 14: time there, but from all intentsive purposes, it was a
Speaker 14: successful coach. Like his win percentage was like five fifty three.
Speaker 14: I think Andy Reid's during his entire tenure in Philly
Speaker 14: it was like five eighty three, so not too far
Speaker 14: off from that. Now, the difference was they didn't have
Speaker 14: the postseason success. They didn't get there in his third year,
Speaker 14: and how he Roseman want to move on, so they
Speaker 14: move on to Doug Peterson. Doug Peterson ends up leading
Speaker 14: them to a super Bowl. They win a super Bowl. Now,
Speaker 14: his win percentage was actually worse than Chip Kelly's over
Speaker 14: the course of his time there, but.
Speaker 3: I think it's more about that.
Speaker 14: I think it's more about how He Roseman looking at
Speaker 14: the guy who's in that position coaching this team day
Speaker 14: in day out, and asking himself, like, can this guy
Speaker 14: lead us to a super Bowl? Because the roster is
Speaker 14: good enough to get us to the playoffs? And I
Speaker 14: don't know that anyone would deny that. I think when
Speaker 14: you look at the amount of talent they've stacked up
Speaker 14: on this roster of the years, especially when healthy, I
Speaker 14: mean their backups, A former first round pick I think
Speaker 14: very capable, and Kenny Pickett of being a starter, maybe
Speaker 14: especially if he continues to develop. Now he's playing banged up,
Speaker 14: so we'll see what that looks like. But I think
Speaker 14: it has more to do with that, And I think
Speaker 14: it has more to do with Howie Roseman, when you
Speaker 14: look at his track record since he's been involved with
Speaker 14: this organization, is truly the one calling the shots and
Speaker 14: truly the one evaluating the guy in the position who's
Speaker 14: the head coach saying yeah, well this team should be
Speaker 14: a playoff team, Like that is the floor. It's can
Speaker 14: you get us to a super Bowl? Like we feel
Speaker 14: like we have as good, if not better, of a
Speaker 14: roster than Kansas City. We just don't have Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 14: but we like our the guy that we got in
Speaker 14: Jalen Hurts. And so if that's the case, like kind
Speaker 14: of similar to San Francisco in the run they've had
Speaker 14: of getting the NFC Championships trying to get to a
Speaker 14: super Bowl, like we should be there, we should be
Speaker 14: doing that. So I think that's where it comes from,
Speaker 14: is when you are like a high achieving organization like
Speaker 14: Philly has been, I think they look at it from
Speaker 14: a different prism, and I think they look at it
Speaker 14: and saying, like we're trying to make sure the guy
Speaker 14: who's in that position as head coach isn't the thing
Speaker 14: preventing us from winning super Bowls and getting to supers.
Speaker 14: And under Nick Sirianni, as good as they've been under
Speaker 14: the regular season, they haven't been able to get there yet.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I just think.
Speaker 12: If we're talking Philly and we're talking super Bowls, that's
Speaker 12: that's far and few in between. I mean Andy Reid
Speaker 12: and Doug Peterson like that's it. I mean maybe somebody
Speaker 12: before got close or whatever it may have been, like
Speaker 12: way way back when, but for Meal, dig for meal
Speaker 12: there it is, but they're not a super Bowl. They're
Speaker 12: not like they won one, you know, They're not like
Speaker 12: it's not like their title town like they they come
Speaker 12: up short pretty much the history of the organization, they
Speaker 12: come up short and winning it all and listen, setting
Speaker 12: a standard, the standard that that has been set. You
Speaker 12: can clearly tell that this is a town in a
Speaker 12: city that embraces going forward and getting close to getting
Speaker 12: it or winning it.
Speaker 3: And I understand that.
Speaker 12: But I mean, if you have, if you have a
Speaker 12: coaching staff that has your product on the field performing
Speaker 12: and you're getting rid of them, you know, I don't
Speaker 12: you know, I don't know. I don't know what the
Speaker 12: end result of how to interpret that would be because
Speaker 12: it's like, am I taking a job to be judged
Speaker 12: on success or failure?
Speaker 3: Which one is it?
Speaker 12: And if the goalpost is being moved on me having
Speaker 12: success and that's why that's not enough success knowing that
Speaker 12: the history of this organization doesn't say like I could
Speaker 12: see if you go to Green Bay now or not
Speaker 12: green well even green Bay, but say you go to
Speaker 12: New England and it's like your your standard is to
Speaker 12: win a super Bowl, and it's like kind of like
Speaker 12: Super Bowl or bus there.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 12: Y'all win super bowls, Green Bay, they win super Bowls.
Speaker 12: There are places where you can look at the history
Speaker 12: of the organization and say, you win super Bowls. Now,
Speaker 12: if you're trying to create a standard up, this is
Speaker 12: where we're trying to get. I understand that. But you
Speaker 12: also got to be a tap bit flexible and you
Speaker 12: got to have a little bit of grace because y'all
Speaker 12: don't win them. Y'all don't win super Bowls. Y'all won one.
Speaker 12: Y'all made it to to what two two?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well with Andy Reid, well they've made it to three
Speaker 5: three three, they lost to one, so they're wont lost
Speaker 5: two one one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, here you goes.
Speaker 12: I'm just saying, man, I have a little grace on
Speaker 12: on guys that are coming in and they're having success.
Speaker 3: But you don't give people that grace if they've if
Speaker 3: they're turning people off. Want to know, like, and what
Speaker 3: is you off?
Speaker 14: You know what if if you if you again are
Speaker 14: proverbally what was it poking? Poking the bulls and the
Speaker 14: uh truck nuts? Yeah, struck nuts, which is a way
Speaker 14: of motivating, by the way, not to get off on
Speaker 14: a completely separate subject.
Speaker 3: But would that work in trying to motivate Lee? You
Speaker 3: think he'd be like poking a little bit? So, so
Speaker 3: what do they poke? Poking Lee? So I just poke Lee?
Speaker 3: Maybe a couple of breaks in the truck nuts? Yeah?
Speaker 3: What are they poking? Poking?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 3: Are they burning them?
Speaker 12: Or they're just they're not a I mean some would
Speaker 12: say that's abuse what they do, but they're not burning them.
Speaker 3: They're just poking. I mean, do you burning? Yeah?
Speaker 12: Do you got to add burning? Like let somebody poke
Speaker 12: you in your truck nuts and see it like I'm
Speaker 12: just gonna to be burned?
Speaker 3: Does it? Does it need that much? Like to make
Speaker 3: you really think and like shock them?
Speaker 4: Huh?
Speaker 3: You're like you wanted them dudes? Are they shocked? You're
Speaker 3: wearing a chastity belt? What's happening?
Speaker 13: Maybe it's one of those ones that he's gone through
Speaker 13: it so many times. You got to up the ante
Speaker 13: a little bit, so we burn them next time.
Speaker 3: I don't think that I would ever get used to
Speaker 3: somebody poking. So anyway, I'm just saying, how can we
Speaker 3: motivate Lee? Is that one of the ways? Maybe give
Speaker 3: him a flick or something. I think he's motivated. I
Speaker 3: think Lee's great. He cut, he's here.
Speaker 12: Worsely, he's there, I'm here, I guess anybody. I think
Speaker 12: that's what he'd say if you poked them. Heyboddy, anybody,
Speaker 12: what do you think you're doing there? What do you
Speaker 12: think you're doing there?
Speaker 3: Huh? It's gonna poke me there? Huh? Anybody anybody ouch? Ouch?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so uh who knows with that? Nick Siriotti. But
Speaker 3: but he's winning.
Speaker 12: And if I'm looking at the NFC again, one of
Speaker 12: the big bad wolves that are out there is in Philadelphia.
Speaker 12: You gotta be concerned.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 12: Granted, they let one get away from them this last game,
Speaker 12: I get it, But I don't think that that's indicative
Speaker 12: of where what this team is and where they're going.
Speaker 12: I think they have more than enough to be able
Speaker 12: to handle their business in the playoffs. On the NFC side,
Speaker 12: it's looking like Kenny Pickett Time this weekend, though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't think is looking that Jonas.
Speaker 14: I mean, I know you're a little skeptical about now,
Speaker 14: and he plays the ny Time this week Do we
Speaker 14: have any sound on that lead we could play?
Speaker 3: Is there any confirmation of Kenny Pickett's gonna play, we do.
Speaker 3: I promise you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to go into like detail on what
Speaker 5: it is, but you know they're getting better and I'll
Speaker 5: be ready to go for Sunday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, flak jacking on today? Have you ever played before?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I always ad there's actually actually thing I'm doing underneath it.
Speaker 3: Just kind of feel it out for you. Don't bother
Speaker 3: none of your business.
Speaker 14: The best is like when the media asks, I mean,
Speaker 14: do you not stand out there to practice and look
Speaker 14: at the quarterbacks and how their jersey and shoulder pads
Speaker 14: fit and it's different. It's like, yeah, dude, everyone wears
Speaker 14: flat jackets, like everyone wears some some different type or brand.
Speaker 14: I mean they've evolved over time where now they can
Speaker 14: like mold them to your ribs and so if you have,
Speaker 14: for example, an injury where sometimes you know there's only
Speaker 14: a portion of your ribs that are like usually protected
Speaker 14: by a fly jackets. So the newest ones there's like
Speaker 14: this this molding material that you kind of shape and
Speaker 14: contre to your body and you could actually fit like
Speaker 14: two and so it extends up a little bit higher
Speaker 14: to protect you a little bit more, especially if you're
Speaker 14: dealing with the ribb injury.
Speaker 13: I mean, he didn't play that bad against Washington, considering
Speaker 13: he was kind of thrust it in there, and Jalen
Speaker 13: Hurts went out with the injury, which, by the way,
Speaker 13: I still nobody has answered the question why the official
Speaker 13: was laughing.
Speaker 3: At Jalen Hurts like he was some drunk guy on
Speaker 3: this tree.
Speaker 13: Like, oh, he's had too much to drink. Like Jalen
Speaker 13: Hurts gives him a thumbs up and the guy just
Speaker 13: laughs at him. Said, ah, I get to the sideline.
Speaker 13: But you know, I'm glad we're taking concussion seriously in
Speaker 13: the NFL. So no Jalen Hurts this weekend. Kenny Pickett's
Speaker 13: going to be slinging it around for Philly. They've got
Speaker 13: Dallas and Mike McCarthy also trying to save his job
Speaker 13: there with the Cowboys. So that is the update from
Speaker 13: the NFC East. It is too uh not too pro
Speaker 13: Why do I keep doing that?
Speaker 3: Just a bet?
Speaker 12: Well, because we do a show three hundred and some
Speaker 12: days a year, and that's what you say, listen Dan
Speaker 12: Patrick show. But it is we are filling in. It
Speaker 12: is two pros and a cup of Joe filling in.
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick show here and it is all brought to
Speaker 3: you by tire one dot Com.
Speaker 14: Yeah, LaVar, Yeah, you can get to that in a second.
Speaker 14: It's not even part of the read. Did you tell
Speaker 14: Jonas what we call the show when.
Speaker 3: He's not here?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Well no I did not, but go you could tell
Speaker 3: him what is it?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: What I have to tell you?
Speaker 4: Cup?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 12: Gut, there's no Joe. Yeah, two pros and two pros
Speaker 12: and a cup. Two pros and a cup. We didn't
Speaker 12: put the Joe in it, you know, we just left
Speaker 12: the jet there so we can't put the Joe in it.
Speaker 12: I mean that name sounds familiar.
Speaker 3: Two pros and a cup, Yeah it does. Saying it
Speaker 3: does sound from it was very popular on the internet.
Speaker 3: You are you are weird o. Why would you even
Speaker 3: have that as
Speaker 5: A reference, way before TikTok Yeah way, But that was
Speaker 5: like when viral became a thing.
