Speaker 1: What's up Pilgrims, Happy Turkey Day Buzz, Happy Turkey Day Week.
Speaker 2: Welcome to over Promise, brought to you by DraftKings Sportsbook.
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Cavino live in Idaho, as Rich Davis in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Thanks for being part of our bonus podcast.
Speaker 2: We have lots to talk about. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 2: the Thanksgiving traditions. Lions Cowboys is sometimes tradition making the
Speaker 2: same mistake over and over again. That's sort of the
Speaker 2: buzz right now. We'll explain fantastic.
Speaker 1: Plus, I got some parlays gonna be perfect for your
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and Black Friday and the Sunday. So Hank tied
Speaker 1: a fun episode of over Promised. As you get closer
Speaker 1: to just sitting on your ass and scratching your belly
Speaker 1: and watching football and drinking and eating and having fun. Again. Remember,
Speaker 1: don't bring up politics at Thanksgiving. And that's about it,
Speaker 1: really everything else you could do and save me the
Speaker 1: turkey ass. Yeah, save me the turkey ass part. You
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 2: Rich part of Thanksgiving is being home with friends and family,
Speaker 2: which is a blessing and a curse sometimes, right, But
Speaker 2: you get excited about tomorrow because they say tomorrow is
Speaker 2: the biggest party.
Speaker 1: Night of the year. Well, if you're headed to your hometown,
Speaker 1: they always say the night before Thanksgiving is where all
Speaker 1: the people from your old high school, your hometown all
Speaker 1: go to the local bars. And that's when you bump
Speaker 1: into all those delinquents and random high school girls with
Speaker 1: booties that you remember it's the.
Speaker 2: Night now you forgot, and the old towny who's still
Speaker 2: there and he was there the last time you were there.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that it's a it's a not a
Speaker 1: judginess too, because everyone's like, you never left this town.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the biggest part of that. But people say,
Speaker 1: is it amateur night? Much like New Year's Eve? Right,
Speaker 1: It's like, is it amateur night or really a fun night?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: I think there was a point in time where I
Speaker 2: thought I was a little too cool for the amateur night.
Speaker 2: But I think you get to a point in life
Speaker 2: where you're like, that's just the grumpy guy mentality. That's
Speaker 2: just the grumpy old guy mentality, Like you know the
Speaker 2: mentality of why do I want to go to a
Speaker 2: class reunion? I see everybody I want to see, especially
Speaker 2: with social media, but nothing beats that face to face
Speaker 2: interaction with an old friend and if they're really your friend.
Speaker 2: I think reconnecting is mandatory because there comes a point
Speaker 2: in life where I guess you're just not friends anymore
Speaker 2: because you could so easily communicate again on social media,
Speaker 2: and you probably don't. You have an opportunity to see
Speaker 2: some friends that are in town. Why wouldn't you take
Speaker 2: that opportunity? To me, there's something deeper going on if
Speaker 2: you're not willing to go. My thought is always, you
Speaker 2: go to a bar, you go to a club, restaurant,
Speaker 2: wherever you go, why would you not want to bump
Speaker 2: into people from your past.
Speaker 1: It's either strangers or people you know. I'll go for
Speaker 1: the people I know every time, even if it's a
Speaker 1: little awkward, Like, YO, didn't you hook up with her
Speaker 1: back in the two thousands. That could provide some fun stories. Hey,
Speaker 1: maybe a little rekindling of fun. They would say, it's
Speaker 1: a big night for hooking up with that random person
Speaker 1: from the past. So Thanksgiving uh bood? Yeah? Thanks Giving
Speaker 1: turkey stuffing of your own. Im you know what I'm saying. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know you always bring up the little Tortilla girl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the old El Paso. Yeah, why not both? Can it
Speaker 1: be amateur night and also fun?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like I said, I think it's amateur night for
Speaker 2: that person who just stopped partying.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But if you're that person who hasn't reconnected in a
Speaker 2: long ass time, or maybe you just do it once
Speaker 2: a year, a lot of time the year is stuck
Speaker 2: in that grind of Monday through Friday, your mundane work routine,
Speaker 2: this is the time to say, hey, I'm still alive.
Speaker 1: Look.
Speaker 2: Think about the person that ignores the high school for you, right,
Speaker 2: it's usually that person that has some weird high school
Speaker 2: resentment or a guy who's not happy with where they
Speaker 2: are right now, or they let themselves go or some
Speaker 2: shit like that. So that's what I'm going to assume
Speaker 2: if you're sitting it out because what you're really sitting
Speaker 2: out is a night of fun.
Speaker 1: So you're too good for fun, that's what you're telling me.
Speaker 2: You're telling me that you're in town to see family
Speaker 2: and stuff your face with turkey, but when it comes
Speaker 2: to fun and seeing old friends, you're just too good
Speaker 2: for it. Or is there something more? So I think
Speaker 2: you got to button up and suck it up and
Speaker 2: just go out there and have a good time, or
Speaker 2: try to have a good time and have a drink
Speaker 2: with some old pals. Otherwise do years go by and
Speaker 2: they're not your pals anymore?
Speaker 1: Did you better than me? Do you better than me? A? Well, listen,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the Thanksgiving tradition that is
Speaker 1: the Lions and the cowboys at all your games. But
Speaker 1: I want to give you guys some picks. Can you
Speaker 1: know you down for some picks? I'm down for some picks.
Speaker 2: But I do want to make it clear that there
Speaker 2: are a few things if you are going out that
Speaker 2: are gonna date you.
Speaker 1: And it's your choice of drink, your choice of.
Speaker 2: Jeane, and maybe your song selection at the juke box.
Speaker 2: Just letting it be known that those three things will
Speaker 2: date you if you go out this weekend.
Speaker 1: So don't weigh your two thousands boot cut jeans. Don't
Speaker 1: don't choose only like two thousands, like Green Day on
Speaker 1: the jukebox, right right, and uh yeah, don't don't pick
Speaker 1: an old person drink. Then you go to a bar
Speaker 1: recently and order a drink and they're like, what is that?
Speaker 2: Exactly? The drinks will if you're ordering a Jaeger bomb.
Speaker 2: It's gonna date you. I mean, and by all means
Speaker 2: do that if you want to, but it's gonna date
Speaker 2: you for sure.
Speaker 1: So anyway, have fun and be thankful. I got a parlay.
Speaker 1: This is my Thanksgiving Black Friday parlay money line special. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at four games where yo, like truthfully,
Speaker 1: as Rocky Boubo would say, like absolutely blowout possibility. So
Speaker 1: there's four games that are going on between Thanksgiving and
Speaker 1: Black Friday. Now it's really simple. I think this is
Speaker 1: a simple pick. And you could say, oh, dude, have
Speaker 1: a little more fun with it, maybe throwing some player
Speaker 1: prop make some own bets on your own with DraftKings,
Speaker 1: but I like a money line parlay for all the favorites.
Speaker 1: Let's start with Detroit. They're at home. It's a Thanksgiving tradition.
Speaker 1: The Packers just came off that odd win against the Chargers,
Speaker 1: which no one really saw happening. I think the Packers
Speaker 1: aren't going into Detroit a team that's eight and two
Speaker 1: playing the best football they played in like almost a century.
Speaker 1: The Lions are big time favorites. Just take a money line.
Speaker 1: Then you got Cowboys hosting the Commanders again. Do you
Speaker 1: see the Cowboys losing on Thanksgiving to the Commanders who
Speaker 1: just lost to the Giants? Can I give it a
Speaker 1: big Rocky Babo? Absolutely no. I'm gonna say like, absolutely no,
Speaker 1: absolutely no. And then, fresh off of another convincing win
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, here's the only tricky part. They're
Speaker 1: traveling up to Seattle. It's that special Thanksgiving night game
Speaker 1: they're playing the Seahawks. The Seahawks just blew a fourth
Speaker 1: quarter lead to the Rams last week and dropped a
Speaker 1: game behind the Niners. I think this way the Niners
Speaker 1: nail that coffin shut in the NFC West. I know
Speaker 1: we still got a lot of season to play, but Niners, Cowboys, Lions,
Speaker 1: three power teams playing on Thanksgiving, And then you know
Speaker 1: what you want to add to that Cavino, a team
Speaker 1: that's definitely checked out this year. Aaron Rodgers take it east.
Speaker 1: Because the season's over, you don't need to worry about
Speaker 1: rehabbing form mid December, the Jets are playing the Dolphins
Speaker 1: on the first ever Black Friday game, which is sort
Speaker 1: of awesome. We get an extra bonus football game on Friday.
Speaker 1: But I think the Dolphins take care of the Jets.
Speaker 1: So I got all the power teams. We're talking about,
Speaker 1: some of the elite teams, Lions, Cowboys, Niners, Dolphins, Spotty.
Speaker 1: Throw it up there. This is your Thanksgiving Day, your parlay,
Speaker 1: your Thanksgiving parlay special. I like you, I mean, where
Speaker 1: does that go wrong? You tell me Seahawks upsetting the Niners.
Speaker 1: I can't see that. Packers going to Detroit. Nope, Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I feel confident that's a winner right there, the Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: moneyline parlay.
Speaker 2: The only question mark would be the Seahawks. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening either.
Speaker 1: Doesn't it doesn't pay big. One hundred pays out one
Speaker 1: point thirty because those are a lot of big point spreads,
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm doing money line. I'm like gey,
Speaker 1: I want to watch with the comfort of like, I
Speaker 1: don't need this team to cover nine, or this team
Speaker 1: to cover seven and a half, or this team to
Speaker 1: cover ten. Four teams that are, in my opinion, convincingly
Speaker 1: gonna win. Pile them up. I know you need four
Speaker 1: things to happen, and that's where shit goes wrong. But
Speaker 1: I don't see any big upsets on Turkey Day. Now,
Speaker 1: let's fast forward to Sunday. This is where it gets
Speaker 1: a little trickier for me. I got a two team
Speaker 1: parlay now, fresh off of our little bro trip Cavino
Speaker 1: to Denver, Colorado. We saw this team find a way
Speaker 1: to freaking get back to five and five. The Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos are in the mix anyway.
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's playing good man. Yeah, it's all coming together
Speaker 2: now finally, and who just lost their quarterback? Besides the Bengals,
Speaker 2: we're overlooking because of the Joe Burrow, Like, holy shit,
Speaker 2: we're forgetting the Deshaun Watson. Also, holy shit, he's out
Speaker 2: so Cleveland at Denver two weeks ago. I would have
Speaker 2: said Cleveland all day. I get it, the defense is great.
Speaker 2: In fact, he under in this game, so it looks
Speaker 2: like a good pick. But Denver is favored by two
Speaker 2: and a half at home. We were just in Denver.
Speaker 2: They don't have to travel.
Speaker 1: They get to stay home, have a little Thanksgiving dinner
Speaker 1: with the family, and then host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I like Denver minus two and a half. I really do.
Speaker 1: I think that this team has found a way. We
Speaker 1: never thought that when they were one and four, one
Speaker 1: and five and everyone's like, Dude Russ and Sean Payton
Speaker 1: might not make it through the year. They might make
Speaker 1: a bid for the playoffs. So if they win, they're
Speaker 1: six and five and everyone's gonna be shocked. So I like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like Denver at minus two and a half against
Speaker 1: Cleveland honestly, just because Cleveland doesn't have a QB and
Speaker 1: that defense is too good for a young rookie quarterback
Speaker 1: to play well against the other one. You might think, Oh, Rich,
Speaker 1: this is a tricky one too. Buffalo at Philly, Buffalo
Speaker 1: is a three and a half point underdog, and I
Speaker 1: love them here because Josh Allen and the Bills need
Speaker 1: this win. And I think Philly's coming off of a
Speaker 1: very emotional Monday night game where they battled their Super
Speaker 1: Bowl rival in the Chiefs. They came out with a
Speaker 1: really tough win over the Chiefs. I think it's a
Speaker 1: trap game a little bit for Philadelphia. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: They just beat the Chiefs, right, you know who they
Speaker 1: played the week after the forty nine Ers. I feel
Speaker 1: like after coming off of that emotional win against the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: knowing that the forty nine ers are next week, I
Speaker 1: feel like they slip up or Buffalo keeps it close.
Speaker 1: Buffalo plus three and a half, because even if Buffalo
Speaker 1: lose my field goal, they win the bets. So I
Speaker 1: like Denver at home and Buffalo against the Philadelphia Eagles. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm not a gambling guy. Rich the way you are.
Speaker 2: To that level, I should say you're the guru the
Speaker 2: Eagles nine and when the Eagles that scares me a
Speaker 2: little bit. I see Jalen Hurts got that fire and
Speaker 2: his e II the Tiger. He's got the high of
Speaker 2: the Tigers. You know he's got it. The story was
Speaker 2: his screensaver on his phone is a picture of him
Speaker 2: losing the Super Bowl to keep him and the team motivated.
Speaker 1: You know, the way they played against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could say the Chiefs lost that game, but
Speaker 2: I feel like that team's fired up.
Speaker 1: I can't see them losing that game. That's why we disagree,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's the fun of it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just look at Buffalo. Josh Allen's gonna be fired up,
Speaker 1: and I know the games in Philly. I just think
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm not saying trap game because trap game would
Speaker 1: insinuate that they stink, that Buffalo stinks, and the Eagles
Speaker 1: are just looking past them. I'm looking at it as
Speaker 1: Buffalo really needs it, and Philadelphia just came off a
Speaker 1: big win. They have an emotional game the following week
Speaker 1: against the Niners. I think you could very easily look
Speaker 1: past Buffalo to San Francisco, and I don't know. I
Speaker 1: do like Buffalo, So lock it up. Buffalo plus three
Speaker 1: and a half Denver minus two and a half. That's
Speaker 1: your Sunday parlay. And I like the Thanksgiving Day Black
Speaker 1: Friday moneyline parlay as well. So lock them in Draftking

Speaker 1: There's there's football traditions. We're going to get to. But
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta ask, what's your favorite fixing? Your favorite side? Stuffing? Guy? Yeah, stuffing.

Speaker 2: at Covino and rech hashtag over promised. Now, when I
Speaker 2: think of Thanksgiving, I think of being lazy. I think
Speaker 2: of stuff in your face. I think it's stuffing. I
Speaker 2: think a turkey ass. That's the best part. I think
Speaker 2: of the March of the Wooden Soldiers, which you have
Speaker 2: never seen. I can't believe that. I like that turkey ass.
Speaker 2: Oh the best part.
Speaker 1: I think of planes, trains and automobiles. You know you
Speaker 1: see Santa Come at the parade. You know that's the
Speaker 1: official start of Christmas time. I guess you could finally
Speaker 1: officially play Christmas music. Santa Came the parade is kind
Speaker 1: of fun. These are all traditions, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that's more of what we need, not less of what
Speaker 1: we need as a country. As a cult.
Speaker 2: Sure, and I feel there's a little bit of a
Speaker 2: buzz on social media. I saw some articles and some
Speaker 2: people saying that Detroit and Dallas playing on Thanksgivings getting
Speaker 2: a little old.
Speaker 1: I listen, as you said before, sometimes traditions the same
Speaker 1: mistake over and over. I don't think that's the case
Speaker 1: here now it all started. Let me be the CNR
Speaker 1: Pilgrim rich historian of the show for a second. Well,
Speaker 1: you're gonna take us back to nineteen thirty four. The
Speaker 1: year it was nineteen thirty four. The tradition is entering
Speaker 1: its eighty ninth season. The Lions started playing on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: Day in nineteen thirty four. The initial scheduling was no accident.
Speaker 1: George A. Richards, the then owner of the Lions, wanted
Speaker 1: to attract some new fans and thought it would be
Speaker 1: great publicity for the Lions to play a special Turkey
Speaker 1: Day game.
Speaker 2: And people thought he was crazy, Right, that's never gonna
Speaker 2: work Thursday, Thanksgiving, And then turns out like twenty five
Speaker 2: thousand people show up.
Speaker 1: It was like the biggest thing, and hence the tradition.
Speaker 1: Thirty forty four and two on Thanksgiving Day, So the
Speaker 1: Lions are trying to creep back to a five hundred record.
Speaker 1: You can just get to think there are a lot
Speaker 1: of shitty years in there for the Lions. So thirty seven,
Speaker 1: forty four and two. Then in nineteen sixty six, let
Speaker 1: me take you back to that year. That was when
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had the same idea little publicity. Let's add
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to the mix, and they're thirty two, twenty
Speaker 1: two and one on Thanksgiving Day. So the Lions have
Speaker 1: been doing it since thirty four, the Cowboys in sixty six.
Speaker 2: Well, you got to give credit to a then Cowboys
Speaker 2: GM tex Shram for thinking outside the box. I'm saying, hey,
Speaker 2: if it's working for the Lions, maybe we could do
Speaker 2: this too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I got a trivia question. I want to
Speaker 1: put you on the spot. There's one team and one
Speaker 1: team only. And by the way, look at that picture
Speaker 1: against spot. You see that throwback Cowboys white helmet that
Speaker 1: they've been wearing on occasion on Thanksgiving Day. That's the
Speaker 1: throwback that when they celebrated the seventy fifth anniversary of
Speaker 1: the NFL. That was the Cowboys throwback in the still
Speaker 1: brock that bad boy with the white shoulders once in
Speaker 1: a while, So pretty cool. Now, I gotta ask you
Speaker 1: the one team that has never played on Thanksgiving Day?
Speaker 1: Only one team has never played on Turkey Day. You
Speaker 1: gotta think it's a newer team. I mean, obviously, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I was gonna say the Texans. Who is it?
Speaker 1: A good guess, but it is the team playing the
Speaker 1: Texans this Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jacks. Yeah, Jacks
Speaker 1: are the only team that have never appeared on Thanksgiving Day. Okay,
Speaker 1: So tradition or making the same mistake over and over again?
Speaker 1: Do we need to open up? Do we need more teams?
Speaker 1: Or do we like how this worked? There the beesome
Speaker 1: part of it.
Speaker 2: That may be old school rich, but that's okay because
Speaker 2: here's my thought on it. I don't think tradition is
Speaker 2: making the same mistake over and over all the time always.
Speaker 2: Why can't you introduce new traditions without getting rid of
Speaker 2: some of the old ones.
Speaker 1: It's the theme of today's over promised spot. Hit me
Speaker 1: with Little Tortilla Girl one more time? Why not both?
Speaker 1: Because we could keep the true addition and this is
Speaker 1: what we are doing effectively, we're keeping the tradition. By
Speaker 1: the way, the little tortilla gro what was it, hard
Speaker 1: hard shell? Soft shell tacos? Why not corner flower? Yeah,
Speaker 1: corner flower? Why not both? Look at this way? You
Speaker 1: could keep the traditions of the Lions of the Cowboys
Speaker 1: every Thanksgiving Day. But you know what, the innovation is
Speaker 1: coming because the combination of tradition and innovation is where
Speaker 1: you always want to be. Keep the Lions, Keep the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: We added that third Thanksgiving game in our lifetime, I
Speaker 1: think over the last ten or twenty years, that nighttime game.
Speaker 1: So we have a third game, and this year we
Speaker 1: have our first ever Black Friday game. So the fact
Speaker 1: that we have three Thanksgiving Day games now and a
Speaker 1: Black Friday game, I think is the perfect combination of
Speaker 1: tradition and innovation.
Speaker 2: And by the way, how suspect I agree with you,
Speaker 2: and when Rich and I agree, it's fact. But of
Speaker 2: all the years to start buzzing about this tradition getting old,
Speaker 2: it's when the Cowboys are playing well and the Cowboy
Speaker 2: and the Lions are eight and two, like how like
Speaker 2: if any year they deserve to be there playing, it's
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 1: How many shit years? How many years where we were like,
Speaker 1: oh man, we got to watch the Lions. This year
Speaker 1: you're like, oh cool the Lions. Yeah, you want to
Speaker 1: watch the Lions. You want to watch the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: So you know, for me, this is an odd year
Speaker 2: for this to even be a conversation or to even
Speaker 2: be brought up. But we're here to shoot it down
Speaker 2: and say yo, keep it going and add some new
Speaker 2: ones if you want. And both young people read stupid.
Speaker 2: There was something else going on. Now we're going to
Speaker 2: take you back to nineteen sixty two because the last
Speaker 2: time the Lions were this good, the last time the
Speaker 2: Lions were eight and two was in nineteen sixty two
Speaker 2: when JFK was president.
Speaker 1: Yea, this is just a little time step. This is
Speaker 1: fun because as we do get ready to watch the
Speaker 1: Lions on the big on the big stage Thanksgiving Day,
Speaker 1: which always the highest NFL ratings of the year. Right,
Speaker 1: so Thanksgiving Day, we get to see the Lions at
Speaker 1: eight and two, you know, a playoff team with Super
Speaker 1: Bowl hopes for the first time in our lifetime. I
Speaker 1: can remember thinking, well, the Lions might do it right,
Speaker 1: so for the first time and for forever. So just
Speaker 1: to show you the last time the Lions were this
Speaker 1: good in nineteen sixty two, here's a couple things that
Speaker 1: were happening in the world, just to show you how
Speaker 1: long ago the Lions were this good. It was the
Speaker 1: first game ever played at Dodger Stadium. Feels like forever ago, right,
Speaker 1: we were we weren't alive, like Dodger Stadium opens up
Speaker 1: that was the last time the Lions were good. How
Speaker 1: about this one? Being a East Coast New York Mets fan,
Speaker 1: how was the year the Mets became a team? That
Speaker 1: was their first year?
Speaker 2: Became a team, first year, Casey Stangele, And of course
Speaker 2: you know they won it.
Speaker 1: What seven years later, But sixty two is when it
Speaker 1: all started real the old miracle Mets. Like you said,
Speaker 1: seven years later, but sixty two the Mets won forty games.
Speaker 1: One of the worst teams of all time, that nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty two New York Mets team. I get this.
Speaker 2: It's also when this is when you know people are old.
Speaker 2: You think of late night TV. It's like, well, what
Speaker 2: era of late night TV did you watch? That's when
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson debuted.
Speaker 1: That's how you know.
Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty two. Yeah, Johnny Carson debuted and it went
Speaker 2: from sixty two to ninety two. So I mean some
Speaker 2: of us caught the tail end of his career, but
Speaker 2: it ran for thirty years, and I did. Samanth He
Speaker 2: was born in twenty five. He'd be ninety eight right now.
Speaker 1: So again, that's how long it's been since the Lions
Speaker 1: were this good. Last time the Lions were this good
Speaker 1: Walmart opened for the first time. These are all great timestamps.
Speaker 1: The first ever of Walmart when the Lions were good.
Speaker 2: And get this, it opened in Rogers, Arkansas. And since then,
Speaker 2: since sixty two, there's eleven five hundred Walmarts around the
Speaker 2: world and nationwide. So that's how far it's come since
Speaker 2: sixty two. And that's how farn look, that's how long
Speaker 2: its beens since we cared about the Lions.
Speaker 1: Now, oh, with a little Barry Sanders mixed in the middle,
Speaker 1: the Lions had not really brought us joy, so it's
Speaker 1: sort of fun to watch him be a contender now.
Speaker 1: It was also the year, I mean your grandparents and
Speaker 1: parents probably talked about the Cuban missile crisis. That was
Speaker 1: a big deal in nineteen sixty two. JFK. That was
Speaker 1: I think the same year Jackie O gave everyone a
Speaker 1: first look at what the inside of the White House
Speaker 1: looked like. So this is a long.
Speaker 2: Ass time ago. Are you just quoting? We didn't start
Speaker 2: the fire lyrics now, I think I am. I think
Speaker 2: Rich got all of his history from Billy Joel. It's
Speaker 2: also the year very sad that Marilyn Monroe died. You
Speaker 2: know you mentioned JFK. I heard there was some controversy there.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to spread any rumors from one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty years ago. But Marilyn Monroe died at the
Speaker 2: age of thirty six in her Brentwood, California home in
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 1: An American icon. But again, that feels like forever ago. Well,
Speaker 1: we just started getting robots, Cavino, you knew who had
Speaker 1: a robot before everyone. The Jetson's debuted in nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 1: Meet George Jetson. That's grazy. I think your dad looks
Speaker 1: so much like George Jetson. He does, he does, and more.
Speaker 2: You know, wait, hold on, you know the theory about
Speaker 2: Hannah Barbera and like the parallel universe or actually they
Speaker 2: say that the Jetsons takes place the same time as
Speaker 2: the Flintstones, except the Jetsons aren't outer space and the
Speaker 2: Flintstones our cavement on Earth.
Speaker 1: Look at that. I don't know if that's true, but
Speaker 1: that's what I've heard. And one last musical note, where
Speaker 1: was the world? As far as music goes, it was
Speaker 1: like early Beatles, like first hit Time? What was it? Love?
Speaker 1: Love Me Do was their first big hit, and that
Speaker 1: was nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty two again, the last time the Lions were
Speaker 2: eight and two. Last time they were a team that
Speaker 2: we cared about to this level, and that makes it
Speaker 2: more exciting to see them on Thanksgiving.
