Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be here in for Dan Patrick,
Speaker 2: the Great, Dan Patrick the Great, not the Great, Dan Patrick,
Speaker 2: Covino and Rich us Up Steve Covino, Rich Davis, Danny
Speaker 2: g Super producing on the phones at eight seven, seven
Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox, Mark Ramsey on the ones and twos,
Speaker 2: Our Boys, Spotty on the videos Everything at Covino and
Speaker 2: Rich Live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm on the
Speaker 2: East Coast, visiting the family, gaining weight, eating Christmas cookies,
Speaker 2: but we all do because it's the ain't quite of
Speaker 2: the holiday season, that space between Christmas and New Year's.
Speaker 2: Happy bleated Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Rich, Yes, get to
Speaker 2: your feedback, but we got to talk the games yesterday.
Speaker 2: There's some games and some shows tonight. But the only
Speaker 2: downside about traveling on Christmas Day, I mean, it's Christmas Day.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be traveling, but I want to
Speaker 2: see my family, right, It's the price you pay when
Speaker 2: you live on the other side of the country. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you got to go visit your family. I'm on the plane,
Speaker 2: I'm on United and I'm thinking to myself, well, I
Speaker 2: get to watch the games only because I forgot, just
Speaker 2: kind of forgot for a second that the games were on.
Speaker 3: Netflix and I couldn't watch them.
Speaker 2: So couldn't watch them on the plane, which was complaint
Speaker 2: number one from me. But I did have Wi Fi,
Speaker 2: so throughout the day, you know, throughout the flight from
Speaker 2: LA to Noork or as we say, NRK Nork, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the scores. I'm like, not very competitive.
Speaker 2: So my interest because again the Chiefs stopped the Steelers.
Speaker 2: The Ravens stomped Houston thirty one to two. That's not
Speaker 2: even a game. But the other side stories were the
Speaker 2: halftime shows and I'm just reading so much smack and for.
Speaker 3: Me, people the worst dude. Yeah, but it was very divided.
Speaker 2: I thought it was very fifty to fifty, again based
Speaker 2: on my weak ass Internet connection I had on the plane.
Speaker 3: I think that the world is full of.
Speaker 4: Just straight up haters that hate anything.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It's the point now where it's almost laughable, where every buffoon,
Speaker 4: because of social media, has a voice that you could
Speaker 4: think something was fantastic. You'll go on social media and
Speaker 4: it's just a bunch of people. And I always want
Speaker 4: to be like, who are you?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 4: What do you bring to the table, because I can
Speaker 4: promise you based on your little profile picture, you look
Speaker 4: at you stink?
Speaker 3: Are you saying a hater's gonna hate Danny J. This
Speaker 3: reminds me. You know, Rich and I have been on
Speaker 3: the air for twenty years now, right, so we have
Speaker 3: lots of stories, lots of moments to makes a sound old.
Speaker 3: I gotta, I gotta. I didn't say in the bedroom,
Speaker 3: you're weirdo. We have lots of wild stories.
Speaker 2: In fact, we're gonna discuss the wildest stories of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four sports stories later on the show, plus Old
Speaker 2: School with fifty hits.
Speaker 3: We throw it back on a Thursday.
Speaker 2: But I remember one day Rich said just let him
Speaker 2: let him run with this conversation.
Speaker 3: He's like, Cavino, I got it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 2: He goes, I got it. There's two types of people
Speaker 2: in life. I'm like, all right, so we don't know
Speaker 2: where he's going with this conversation. And he acted like
Speaker 2: he had the greatest point there ever was, and he goes.
Speaker 5: I've been thinking about a guy. Jesus, I got a
Speaker 5: really hot take here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I swear to you he said this, Oh
Speaker 2: you know how annoying you guys are because you're bringing
Speaker 2: this up spot who was like a sleep in his
Speaker 2: chair two minutes ago, he like popped up, put his
Speaker 2: headphones on, like, oh, let's make some wratchet.
Speaker 3: I had to bear witness to this. He knows who mines.
Speaker 4: Two minutes ago he had left over Christmas cookies and
Speaker 4: he was sleeping with a lot on his belly.
Speaker 3: And that was that. He pops up and he's like,
Speaker 3: let's go just in time has entered the chat. Well
Speaker 3: you know what this spot was there when you did this.
Speaker 2: And he knows that I'm speaking the truth, But he
Speaker 2: acted Danny g. What's funny about it is he acted
Speaker 2: like he was about to make the greatest point there
Speaker 2: ever was.
Speaker 3: Yes, he had a stephen a hot take.
Speaker 6: He's like, guys, I'm about to break the internet with
Speaker 6: my statement here.
Speaker 5: But I rich, David, I'm here to say that Taylor
Speaker 5: Swift is right.
Speaker 2: He said, Taylor Swift is right, and I'm about I'm
Speaker 2: already tuned out because I'm like, what is he even
Speaker 2: talking about? Okay, Taylor Swift is right about what this
Speaker 2: is pre Kelsey, this is a.
Speaker 3: While she's right about cashmere sweaters.
Speaker 2: He's like, Taylor Swift is right, and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: the world's on the edge of their seat to hear
Speaker 2: this amazing point.
Speaker 3: He goes, there's.
Speaker 2: Really when you think about it, guys, there are two
Speaker 2: types of people and they're like, okay, he goes, when
Speaker 2: you think about it, the player it's gonna play.
Speaker 5: Like play play, and a hater it's gonna eat hate, hate,
Speaker 5: hate facts.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, yes, right, there's two types of people
Speaker 3: like that. That's your point. That was my point. That
Speaker 3: was his point. You're either a player or a hater.
Speaker 5: You what are you be daling now?
Speaker 4: No, it's a better way. There's two types of people
Speaker 4: that are doing it. One type of person, you know,
Speaker 4: living their life doing big things.
Speaker 3: You're reading lyrics or that, and.
Speaker 5: Other people's gonna play play, play, play play.
Speaker 3: Some people are doing big things.
Speaker 4: Others are just sitting on the sidelines being haters that
Speaker 4: are hate hate hating.
Speaker 3: So you know what, I'll go back to my point
Speaker 3: from a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: You asked, clowns there are two types of people, because
Speaker 4: yesterday on Netflix, I thought they delivered as good of
Speaker 4: a product as you could for a first run at
Speaker 4: the NFL. They compiled right announcers Iron Eagle from CBS,
Speaker 4: who we love. Greg Olsen was on one of the
Speaker 4: games from Fox. We talked about how he's tops yer
Speaker 4: Rosie Perez there for no reason. No, that's just that's
Speaker 4: only fight spots, only fights. But they had Kay Adams,
Speaker 4: who I'm a big fan of. Mina Kimes did great.
Speaker 4: They had RG three and Mantiteo. It was like a
Speaker 4: youthful halftime show. I thought they had decent chemistry. I
Speaker 4: was not hating at all. I thought the graphics, the
Speaker 4: coverage clearly all freelance from NBCCBS, Amazon and NBC. But
Speaker 4: they put together a really good product for their first
Speaker 4: shot at it NFL. On Netflix, I think, yeah, there
Speaker 4: was some little eye rolliness in the pushing of other
Speaker 4: Netflix properties, like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like forced Netflix promos were a little much like.
Speaker 4: Hey, look there's uh, you know, there's John Hamm. What's
Speaker 4: going on John Hamm. I'll tell you what's going on
Speaker 4: my new Netflix show.
Speaker 2: Yeah there was, But is that just over analyzing and
Speaker 2: hyper awareness because you know, it's the first time it's
Speaker 2: on Netflix, Because.
Speaker 3: You have to keep that in mind. Rich is right
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 2: Rich better point already here on Fox Sports Radio, Hay.
Speaker 3: If you weren't haway, that means you were playing right, No,
Speaker 3: concause I think the other networks.
Speaker 7: I think the other networks coveno, they know how to
Speaker 7: kind of ease into those promos and just show the
Speaker 7: actor like in attendance and then mention it. And when
Speaker 7: we're used to like Jim Nance's voice or a voice
Speaker 7: doing that. But let's go to the sideline and then
Speaker 7: they interview somebody for the Netflix show and the Netflix
Speaker 7: show promos popping up.
Speaker 3: It just felt like it was pushed in our face.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a little batch.
Speaker 4: I know you're saying, like Jim Nance would be like,
Speaker 4: welcome back to NFL on CBS. I'll look at there,
Speaker 4: there's Jim Parsons. Don't forget Monday Nights exact Big Bang
Speaker 4: Theory on CCREBO is like that. You're used to that
Speaker 4: in the past. This was a blatant let's talk about
Speaker 4: our hottest properties on Netflix. Hey, look, does Nate BARGHESI, Hey,
Speaker 4: you know my new stand up special, Like it was pushed,
Speaker 4: but I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think.
Speaker 2: Crossovers, cross promos. But again, you already said it, first
Speaker 2: run at it. You look at anybody's first run on anything,
Speaker 2: it's never gonna be where it's at.
Speaker 3: Now, first run at it. Let's think of the positive.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it all to you, rich because I
Speaker 2: wasn't able to watch because it was on a flight.
Speaker 2: But from the flight looking in, when you talk about
Speaker 2: that cast, if you have complaints about menachimes, I think, hey,
Speaker 2: k Adams balances that out right, They balance each other, right,
Speaker 2: I thought. I think they're both great. I think Greg
Speaker 2: Golds is great. RG three is great. I think that
Speaker 2: whole cast, like you said, I think if you want
Speaker 2: to focus on the positives, I think they're great and
Speaker 2: they're only going to get bat We.
Speaker 4: Always talk about the world loves to hate as a
Speaker 4: first instinct. Might one might say hate, hate hate. It's
Speaker 4: our default setting and it is bad because it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: that's stunk. I really want you then tell me what
Speaker 4: really stuck about it? What Kay Adams, who was fantastic?
Speaker 4: What if you do DraftKings or FanDuel one of her shows, right,
Speaker 4: she was on the NFL Network she's good, mean to Collams,
Speaker 4: ESPN talented and I really thought RG three and meant Titeo,
Speaker 4: you know, brought like a fun youth to the set.
Speaker 3: And it was only the halftime.
Speaker 4: In pregame, they had a couple Netflix celebrities spiced in
Speaker 4: here and there, and I thought, I an Eagle made
Speaker 4: the funny joke when he.
Speaker 3: Was with JJ Watt and who else was he with?
Speaker 4: And he said, Hey, if you're turning into Netflix, I know, right,
Speaker 4: the Stranger Kid the Stranger Things kids got old real quick.
Speaker 3: He even made a like a fun liner. I thought
Speaker 3: it was great Beyonce.
Speaker 4: People are saying that was better than some of the
Speaker 4: halftime shows of Super Bowls passed.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it was cool. Again, I only saw highlights.
Speaker 2: I got to make that very clear. So I'd love
Speaker 2: to hear from the opinions of the Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Nation eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3: Because the feedback on social media was split.
Speaker 2: I think it's cool that post belone came out, but
Speaker 2: I did hear that it wasn't that good. Like there's
Speaker 2: a lot of questions posed of hey, what did you
Speaker 2: think of these performances, and those questions are posed because
Speaker 2: not everybody was feeling good.
Speaker 4: As the phrase goes, opinions like buttholes. Everyone's got one
Speaker 4: and most of them staking.
Speaker 3: Always reading lyrics. Again, no, it's opinions are like podcasts.
Speaker 3: Everybody got one.
Speaker 7: I think there would have been less criticism if the
Speaker 7: games were more competitive, because overall it left a little
Speaker 7: bit of a bad taste for Christmas Day because we
Speaker 7: were hoping for some good matchups.
Speaker 3: G buh bam.
Speaker 2: That was like when I was getting at If the
Speaker 2: games were competitive, they were good, you don't think there
Speaker 2: would be less complaints about what was going on. Look
Speaker 2: what they had to work with here, two boring games.
Speaker 2: In reality, they were just trying to polish a turd.
Speaker 3: These games were not competitive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean score of sixty to twelve, twenty nine, ten,
Speaker 4: and thirty one two. The games were not competitive, no doubt,
Speaker 4: in fact, no diggity, no doubt. But I think Netflix
Speaker 4: as a whole. You turned on your TV, you're smart TV.
Speaker 4: There was you clicked on Netflix. As soon as you
Speaker 4: clicked on Netflix, they gave you the live option. Hey
Speaker 4: we're doing NFL today, Boom play, you can rewind, fast
Speaker 4: forward stop.
Speaker 3: There was no weird. It was even easy for your
Speaker 3: parents to find, is what you're saying, no doubt. And
Speaker 3: again they.
Speaker 4: Hired out some big guns, Iron Eagle, Gara, greg Olsen.
Speaker 4: They had some familiar faces from ESPN, from Fan Duel
Speaker 4: and DraftKings, and all the networks had their own little
Speaker 4: way of throwing one or two of their guys or
Speaker 4: girls in. I thought it was great, and anyone that
Speaker 4: hated it truly was just the type of person that's
Speaker 4: instinct is to just pounce and hate hate.
Speaker 3: Remember there's players and haters. Jey Switch is right, you know.
Speaker 2: Let me let me read what you actually said, just
Speaker 2: to get the phones going, because we're going to you now.
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. As an observer
Speaker 2: on a plane, all I saw was a lot of
Speaker 2: split people on this Rich is saying it was really good,
Speaker 2: especially for a first run. He said, Netflix killed it.
Speaker 2: Everybody sucks. That's what you said, and I want you
Speaker 2: to stick to that.
Speaker 3: I think Netflix did.
Speaker 4: Like, if you are part of the Netflix production, you
Speaker 4: got to be waking up today saying, hey, listen, we
Speaker 4: had four Marquee teams, two trash games. But as far
Speaker 4: as the coverage, the graphics, who we freelanced from Fox, CBS, ESPN.
Speaker 4: We put together a quality product. We brought Beyonce in
Speaker 4: to do the halftime show, where again my algorithm showed
Speaker 4: more people loving Beyonce than hating Beyonce. And it's wild
Speaker 4: to see back to back comments on Twitter or Instagram
Speaker 4: or TikTok where one person could be like better than
Speaker 4: any halftime show in the last decade, and then other
Speaker 4: people were like trash.
Speaker 3: I thought the overall.
Speaker 4: Production, the only thing I thought suck butt cheeks was
Speaker 4: Mariah Carey.
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you why you gotta say deflated but
Speaker 3: cheeks if you're gonna say that.
Speaker 4: The only thing that was the equivalent of whack ass
Speaker 4: deflated butt cheeks was my interpretation of something. And I'm
Speaker 4: wondering if you could think of other examples of when
Speaker 4: something was advertised and you're like, that's not what.
Speaker 3: I thought was happening.
Speaker 4: I thought Mariah Carey was gonna be at Hinzfield fifty
Speaker 4: yard line wearing like some fur with some you know,
Speaker 4: people with bells, and like a gospel man behind her,
Speaker 4: and she was gonna sing All I want for Christmas
Speaker 4: is you to kick off the NFL on Christmas Day.
Speaker 4: It was like a pre made video that she could
Speaker 4: have very well recorded six months ago. It was the
Speaker 4: whackest crap I've ever seen in my life. I'm like,
Speaker 4: that's the Mariah Carey kickoff, like a weird taped version
Speaker 4: of her singing the songs she sung a million times.
Speaker 3: Super weak.
Speaker 4: That is the only ridiculously weak element of the NFL
Speaker 4: on Netflix.

Speaker 3: We got that coming up.
Speaker 2: But back to your phone calls at eight seven, seven
Speaker 2: ninety nine, Oh Fox, I'm Steve Cavino live in Jersey.
Speaker 3: That's rich tonyg Mark and Spotty back on the west side.
Speaker 4: Now I'm looking at the AFC playoff picture and I
Speaker 4: want to just break it down. Let me get my
Speaker 4: cardboard and do some breakdancing. Let me break this down
Speaker 4: real quick, right quick. Don't get to the phone calls.
Speaker 4: A lot of people want to talk about the NBA
Speaker 4: and Lebron. I see NBA phone calls on hold. I
Speaker 4: said that it's a three headed monster and it's gonna
Speaker 4: be a fourth team that makes it to the divisional round.
Speaker 4: That it's gonna be like a really nice moment for
Speaker 4: the organization, Like, good for you, you made it to
Speaker 4: the second rounds of the playoffs. But let's not be
Speaker 4: fooled here. Kansas City Chiefs are the one seed. They
Speaker 4: play in that divisional round. Automatically, as you know, as
Speaker 4: Andy Reid dressed up as Santa Claus and Mahomes and
Speaker 4: Kelsey made the world hate and love them all at
Speaker 4: the same time hate him.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Mike Darth Vader helmet, are they turning to
Speaker 2: the dark side a little bit, because again, when I'm
Speaker 2: on the plane, I'm just reading feedback a lot of
Speaker 2: people hating on their subtle arrogance.
Speaker 3: After the game, Danny, there was a sense of I
Speaker 3: hate damn. Yeah, so good.
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes said he was watching his diet and he
Speaker 7: didn't want to eat the football cake. We're like, bro,
Speaker 7: you're famous for your dad bod Yeah.
Speaker 4: Trying to trying to cut back on on the on
Speaker 4: the calories.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm gonna laugh the cake right now. But uh,
Speaker 6: we pretty much dominated the whole game, and I got
Speaker 6: a cool jacket on right now.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 4: You see, uh, you see RG three in the post
Speaker 4: game bury his facing that cake. He was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm like, damn, it's not the first time he's buried
Speaker 4: his face and some cake. You're probably right. So your
Speaker 4: thoughts on Netflix, your thoughts on the NFL. But let
Speaker 4: me just finalize the AFC playoff picture thought.
Speaker 3: Kansas City and.
Speaker 4: The super confident in the should be Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3: At fifteen to one, they get to buy.
Speaker 4: After that, we talked about it's all about Buffalo and
Speaker 4: Baltimore and those two teams that have elite talent, Lamar
Speaker 4: Josh Allen to your MVP candidates, it really doesn't get
Speaker 4: better than what the AFC is bringing right now with
Speaker 4: those top three 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 4: Wow, a cool cross promotion for Netflix in your cake.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, what do you think, guy from Stranger Things?
Speaker 4: How about you, squid game writer? So you got the
Speaker 4: four seed as the Houston Texans we saw yesterday.
Speaker 3: As much as you like to root for CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud and that team really did turn around their organization
Speaker 4: faster than you thought postseason for a second year in
Speaker 4: a row. They can't compete at that level. And and
Speaker 4: I'm not saying anything we don't already know. When you
Speaker 4: put the Houston Texans up against the three elite, they're
Speaker 4: gonna fall flat.
Speaker 3: Then the five seed, Pittsburgh, you saw what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4: A couple of balls could have bounced their way in
Speaker 4: the first half, and Mike tom would have been pointed
Speaker 4: it out. If you want to be the team like
Speaker 4: Kansas City, they can't fumble and have the ball bounce
Speaker 4: right back into their hands. You can't drop two interceptions,
Speaker 4: can't You can't do those type of things and expect
Speaker 4: to compete. And then you say, well, the two wild
Speaker 4: cards after that likely going to be the Chargers and
Speaker 4: the Denver Broncos to AFC West teams. The only way
Speaker 4: I see any team making any like Whoah making some
Speaker 4: noise might be if the Cincinnati Bengals slip into the playoffs,
Speaker 4: because I don't know if you're aware of how the Bengals,
Speaker 4: somehow Someway could have a shot because they played the
Speaker 4: Broncos this coming week. They win that game, they end
Speaker 4: again the Steelers. If Joe Burrow and the Bengals slipping
Speaker 4: at nine to eight and they're clicking offensively, that could
Speaker 4: be a team like oh Man, maybe Cincinnati gets hot
Speaker 4: at the right time and that was a playoff expected team.
Speaker 4: But to me, it really is the dominant three headed
Speaker 4: monster of the AFC. Mahomes Lamar Josh Allen.
Speaker 7: Bengals have a twenty four chance right now to make
Speaker 7: the playoffs. If they got to win out obviously, then
Speaker 7: they need a lot of help.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the help they need, the Denver help they need,
Speaker 4: isn't that bad because Denver has to play the Bengals,
Speaker 4: so Burrow that's a must win obviously, and then the
Speaker 4: Chiefs go to Denver. So unless you think the Chiefs
Speaker 4: are going to rest everyone, which they might not, Danny
Speaker 4: because they have a bye week. So if they don't
Speaker 4: play people week eighteen, then you tell me you want
Speaker 4: Mahomes Kelsey and Hollywood Brown who's just getting acclimated.
Speaker 3: You think you want to rest them for three full weeks.
Speaker 3: Then they also need the Colts and the Dolphins to
Speaker 3: each lose. They need help.
Speaker 4: But when you look at the schedule Cincinnati, it's not
Speaker 4: crazy to think that they slide in.
Speaker 3: So your thoughts and then, uh, let me throwing the.
Speaker 4: NBA now coming out because I know people want to
Speaker 4: talk about that. Lebron James after what many called one
Speaker 4: of the better Christmas games ever.
Speaker 2: Dude, it was crazy back and forth in that game,
Speaker 2: crazy back and forth.
Speaker 4: Lebron comes out on top and he said this, I
Speaker 4: love the NFL. I love NFL.
Speaker 3: Christmas.
Speaker 4: Our day is Christmas, the NBA's day.
Speaker 3: And did the NBA actually win it?
Speaker 2: They may have just based on that Lakers Golden State
Speaker 2: Warriors game and he 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: Lake 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.
Speaker 2: You know what the NBA is capable of, And it's
Speaker 2: that it's.
Speaker 4: Like on your anniversary when your wife does all kinky stuff,
Speaker 4: like you can do this all the time if you want, right,
Speaker 4: it's a good annealegment.
Speaker 3: That really is a good anno. I mean like just like.
Speaker 4: That, I mean, spot when the NBA delivers like that,
Speaker 4: You're like, you can't do this all the time.
Speaker 3: What you do this a couple of times a year? Wait,
Speaker 3: that's usually off the table.
Speaker 7: Well, Steph was still chucking up threes with his eyes closed,
Speaker 7: but he made that one at the end, which was amazing.
Speaker 7: Lebron and Steph were vintage NBA All Stars, Lebron with
Speaker 7: thirty one, Steph with thirty two, almost identical stats for
Speaker 7: both the guys. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,
Speaker 7: Cove that What stood out about this is what we've
Speaker 7: all been screaming and yelling, drive to the hoop. We
Speaker 7: want to see more dirty dunks, and we want to
Speaker 7: see players go to the rim. And Austin Reeves took
Speaker 7: the ball and drove for the final seconds there instead
Speaker 7: of chucking up a bad shot.
Speaker 3: Got lots of props on that.
Speaker 2: It was nice to see, like Danny G said, and
Speaker 2: it really did remind you that the NBA is capable
Speaker 2: of some excitement.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 3: That was a great game, a 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? Rich?
Speaker 2: The NBA did sort of win in that sense, but
Speaker 2: overall the season, the NFL wins. But what what do
Speaker 2: you think about? What Lebron had to say is really
Speaker 2: what we're asking here.
Speaker 3: Let's let's go to t in Georgia.
Speaker 2: You're all a convenient Rich, what's up MANDNR.
Speaker 10: What's that fella? Set up any g shout out spot
Speaker 10: for the rest of the crew. Listen, I got a
Speaker 10: couple of things. I wrote them down this time. I'm
Speaker 10: not gonna get flustered. So about the Buffalo, Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore.
Speaker 10: That's my that's my that's my three. I got Cincinnatity.
Speaker 10: I would has Cincinnati come in there in the end,
Speaker 10: but like y'all said, they need a lot of help.
Speaker 10: The Holliday hat trick as one of the best names.
Speaker 10: I need to keep that for whenever y'all do a
Speaker 10: little two in a space and then another one. And
Speaker 10: also for the NBA. I think the reason why the
Speaker 10: NBA has such a good model is because they have
Speaker 10: enough games to where they have these spaced out events
Speaker 10: where you can tune into those events Christmas Day, all
Speaker 10: Star Playoffs. You know, with the with the NFL being
Speaker 10: only seventeen sixteen, you know games, you're more less in
Speaker 10: tune to being paid attention to every single one of
Speaker 10: those games and kind of following those games. The NBA has,
Speaker 10: you know, enough to where in those moments like Christmas,
Speaker 10: like yesterday, a slew of great games and you know,
Speaker 10: that they're capable of those every so often. You just
Speaker 10: can't pull it out every you know, all eighty two
Speaker 10: you feel me. That's why you know NBA MLB is
Speaker 10: so kind of shaky with one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 10: But they're changing their model, so you know, that's basically it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take great points, Bro, great call, and Rich I
Speaker 2: gotta give you promps too.
Speaker 3: That was a great bedroom analogy.
Speaker 2: When it came to the NBA, you are left feeling
Speaker 2: that way that was a Christmas classic and real quick
Speaker 2: my thoughts on what Lebron had to say, it would
Speaker 2: have brought me the wrong way. Hadn't they won and
Speaker 2: hadn't they delivered in a Christmas classic in that way?
Speaker 2: You know, But I think there's some truth to what
Speaker 2: he said right there. I mean, based on that game.
Speaker 3: If you want to make it.
Speaker 4: Less smutty, you could say generally in a relationship, when
Speaker 4: a guy does something romantic, you know a lot of
Speaker 4: times a wife or a girlfriend is thinking like, see
Speaker 4: you have it in you, like you just choose not
Speaker 4: to be romantic, like I said, you know, someone gets
Speaker 4: kinky in the bedroom on your anniversary. A lot of
Speaker 4: times you would think like you know, we could do
Speaker 4: this on a random Wednesday night. It doesn't need to
Speaker 4: be only on special vacation occasions or 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 4: I don't want to be a conspiracy guy. I guess
Speaker 4: as much as I love Jesse Ventura the Denver Airport
Speaker 4: Area fifty one, I'm not conspiracy JFK. I'm not a
Speaker 4: conspiracy guy. But would it surprise you if you were
Speaker 4: to say, get win that Adam Silver called up both
Speaker 4: teams and was like, yo, bring it.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 7: I don't think he would need to do that for
Speaker 7: a Christmas game.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying like scripted or
Speaker 4: anything like that. I'm saying would chock you of Adam
Speaker 4: Silver is like, all right, Christmas Day guys, and memory
Speaker 4: commissioner here, yo, but guys, you know a lot at
Speaker 4: stake here, Chris's day, 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 7: Yeah, when you see Starting five on Netflix, Jason Tatum
Speaker 7: was upset last season because because he had to leave
Speaker 7: his family and they were trying to get to the
Speaker 7: game and everything. But he said, all the eyes, we
Speaker 7: know the whole world is watching our game. So he
Speaker 7: was excited for that reason. And I think that's the
Speaker 7: mindset of most NBA players. Steph. You know he thought
Speaker 7: that he finished with thirty eight, by the way, and
Speaker 7: Lebron always.
Speaker 3: Turned on the last game.
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, and Lebron always knows when you know, he
Speaker 7: how many households he's visiting.
Speaker 3: So those guys didn't need any reminds Santa Claus Now
Speaker 3: he sees you when you're sleeping too. He's got the
Speaker 3: Santa Beard now. Yeah.
Speaker 4: On Christmas Eve, my kids and I were watching Lebron Tracker.
Speaker 4: You don't let's take he's on the four or five.
Speaker 4: Let's take a call from Andy, and Andy wanted to
Speaker 4: talk NBA and earlier in the show, Covino, you're talking
Speaker 4: about that lost gift from your childhood where you always
Speaker 4: wanted to like where did it go?
Speaker 3: What's up? Andy?
Speaker 8: As Oh the way I look at it with the NFL,
Speaker 8: it was great. I think they learned a lot from
Speaker 8: the type it and Logan Paul fight to really know
Speaker 8: j Paul, I mean, I'm sorry about that, brum. You know,
Speaker 8: not hav any buffers happening during the live stream pre
Speaker 8: recording videos.
Speaker 10: Out of the question.
Speaker 8: And I just like to sprinkled this in Lebron and
Speaker 8: Steph Curry.
Speaker 10: They are to get that.
Speaker 11: Just keep on giving.
Speaker 8: Honestly, what is the NBA going to do when.
Speaker 10: 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 you need your star
Speaker 2: stars stars now they're stars.
Speaker 4: But we talked about this previously on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 4: where some of the stars either don't want to be stars,
Speaker 4: or there's like a cultural disconnect or like a disinterest
Speaker 4: in like a Luca or a Yo Kicch or you know,
Speaker 4: some of these European players don't have that.
Speaker 3: Bam you and no one will deny his.
Speaker 2: Not the guy that's going to be the face of
Speaker 2: the NBA that's going to get you tuned in.
Speaker 3: It's just not going to happen.
Speaker 4: Let's say, how to Aaron one last phone call and
Speaker 4: then uh, we'll move on.
Speaker 3: What's up? Body coming on wretch?
Speaker 10: Aaron, Hey, what's going on? Guys?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 9: I was calling in regards to how you guys are
Speaker 9: talking about the toys and stuff.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, my mom when we.
Speaker 9: Were younger, she threw away our comic books.
Speaker 12: Wolverine number one, two, four?
Speaker 3: What that? Yeah, by the way, that's it.
Speaker 4: That's that's unbelievably the sad story of so many of
Speaker 4: our parents generation, right, like how.
Speaker 2: Many times you cards but now currently Pokemon cards? Rich,
Speaker 2: I hear that all the time.
Speaker 4: Mom, you threwing my Pokemon But Aaron, you ain't kidding.
Speaker 4: There was a I feel like it was our parent generation.
Speaker 4: If you're roughly forty, your dad was probably collecting Mickey
Speaker 4: Mantles and Roger Maris's and Jackie Robinson's, and your your
Speaker 4: grandmother threw the mout. But you, Rich, you made such
Speaker 4: a good point before all the crap they kept, right,
Speaker 4: Like you decided to keep the pogo stick and the
Speaker 4: croquet set, but.
Speaker 2: For some reason you had to throw away my baseball
Speaker 2: cards and my you know, whatever was valuable to me.
Speaker 13: But for every like valuable item that ended up becoming
Speaker 13: more valuable. There was like a beanie baby that you did. Indeed,
Speaker 13: so it was like it was through the way the
Speaker 13: Princess Diana beanie baby.
Speaker 3: You didn't know.
Speaker 4: You know what, do you know my wife and I
Speaker 4: had this dumb thought when we were wrapping presents for
Speaker 4: the kids the other night, and you look at unopened
Speaker 4: toys from our childhood, and now they're super expensive, Like
Speaker 4: look an unopened he Man or even at the original iPhone.
Speaker 4: The iPhone one unopened is like tens of thousands of
Speaker 4: dollars in auction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ken, Golden problem is it? Is it ever your instinct?
Speaker 4: Is it ever your instinct to be like should I
Speaker 4: buy a couple of random things and just not open them?
Speaker 7: Do you know my grandmother in Long Beach, she threw
Speaker 7: away my grandma's Playboy collection, But in our garage, our
Speaker 7: old roller skates and skateboards with steel wheels, like metal
Speaker 7: wheels and.
Speaker 2: Arrest she kept those. That's the commonality here. I think
Speaker 2: that's the greatest point we've made so far.
Speaker 4: And Richard, your mom threw away all your Sweet Yankees memorabilia,
Speaker 4: but she kept your She kept your social studies notebook
Speaker 4: from agriand.
Speaker 3: Dude, that's the truth.
Speaker 2: Yet she has my trapper keeper upstairs for some reason.
Speaker 2: In the attic, I want to make this point before
Speaker 2: we move on. We have so much to get to
Speaker 2: on the Cavino and Rich Show, and for Dan Patrick,
Speaker 2: Lebron James and what he said, I sort of like that, man.
Speaker 2: I think that's the kind of attitude you have to
Speaker 2: have in anything, into everything you do, because if these
Speaker 2: guys don't care, then why should we care?
Speaker 3: And I like that fight in that pride.
Speaker 2: That Lebron James expressed in his Lakers, in his game
Speaker 2: essentially in the NBA. He was defending the NBA there,
Speaker 2: and that's like you and I defending radio. Like if
Speaker 2: someone says, yeah, man, you know with streaming and podcast
Speaker 2: radios dying you as a radio host, what would you.
Speaker 4: Say was like, you're wrong. Audio entertainment all time high,
Speaker 4: and you start getting defensive and.
Speaker 3: Right because you have a pride in that right.
Speaker 2: And I don't have any sort of bad feelings when
Speaker 2: I hear Lebron take ownership and pride in the NBA there,
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 3: Said it respectfully. Yeah, because who doesn't love it?
Speaker 4: And if you missed hearing Lebron say it, take a
Speaker 4: listen one more time yesterday after the Lakers game.
Speaker 3: I love the NFL. I love NFL Christmas Day. A playful,
Speaker 3: 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. But the
Speaker 2: cliff Notes version of the last half hour of conversation,
Speaker 2: Netflix did a fine job. Lebron and Steph delivered. Yet
Speaker 2: you go on social media and there's still hater hater haters,
Speaker 2: there's still people hating.
Speaker 3: And it to me because what rich Da ain't playing
Speaker 3: playing play.
Speaker 4: It's fascinating that on a day where you're probably opening
Speaker 4: gifts with your kids, it's a joyful day. You got
Speaker 4: to see some Rando family members. You were wearing your
Speaker 4: pajamas all day, Like why do you Why is your
Speaker 4: instinct to hate? Just think about that as you move
Speaker 4: into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Why lead with that? Stinks? Yeah, you know I like
Speaker 3: that thought too. We're entering a new year.
Speaker 2: If we have any influence at all, we should all
Speaker 2: 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 4: I'm not sure it'd be all uh, you know, I'm
Speaker 4: not like Tony Robbins or anything. I'm not trying to
Speaker 4: be like Gary vayner Chuk. I'm not some motivational speaker.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is it is very instinctual sports music.
Speaker 3: Anything to be like that stinks.
Speaker 4: How about just take a step back and say, you know, Netflix,
Speaker 4: that was their first go at it with the NFL.
Speaker 4: Man they put together a decent broadcast team that the
Speaker 4: broadcast was clear, the graphics were good, the game sort
Speaker 4: of stunk.
Speaker 2: But and by the way, it's probably where the future
Speaker 2: is heading, right, So what do you do? Be the
Speaker 2: reluctant guy and then be the guy who's not on board,
Speaker 2: be the old guy.
Speaker 4: And you say, all right, you know what, I'm not
Speaker 4: the biggest Beyonce fan. I respect the hell out of her,
Speaker 4: but I'm not like you know, I'm not downloading Queen
Speaker 4: Bee albums the minute they come out. But yeah, how
Speaker 4: to acknowledge the fact that she brought out some stars
Speaker 4: post Malone was there. It was an extended halftime, and
Speaker 4: some would argue more entertaining than a lot of NFL
Speaker 4: halftime shows. So you know what, Beyonce, that was probably
Speaker 4: a big win for the NFL.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think it's hard to not come across as a hater.
Speaker 4: If you were used to be stunk Christmas, you had
Speaker 4: two football games on, get over yourself.
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 WAPP.
Speaker 2: If you missed any of our show, search Covino and
Speaker 2: Rich wherever you stream. In fact, just search it anyway, follow,
Speaker 2: rate and review because we do this every day five
Speaker 2: to seven on the East Monday through Friday, and two
Speaker 2: to four on the West side. But just search Covino
Speaker 2: and Rich. CoV I n O, just a kid from Union,
Speaker 2: New Jersey on the lebron of the Show, yea I'm
Speaker 2: too big when it matters. Rich Davis always thought about
Speaker 2: you Covino the lebron of the show, but I was,
Speaker 2: I usually think about the hairline.
Speaker 3: That's usually what I'm thinking. Hey, I thought our.
Speaker 4: Last conversation had a little more juice to be squeezed
Speaker 4: out of it. So if you want to chime in
Speaker 4: at Covin on Rich later on what quarterback being that
Speaker 4: today was the release of Squid Game two.
Speaker 3: What quarterback?
Speaker 4: If your life was on the line, what current quarterback
Speaker 4: would you put the ball in the hands of? And
Speaker 4: my thought was, you can't include Mahomes in this conversation
Speaker 4: because he would be ninety five out of one hundred
Speaker 4: people's answer.
Speaker 3: Stop giving us rules. Yeah, Richness rules.
Speaker 2: At Cobino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, on social media,
Speaker 2: and we move on because every Thursday on our show
Speaker 2: we bring it to you. On Dan Patrick, we do
Speaker 2: a little old school in fifty hits, an old school
Speaker 2: throwback Thursday sort of conversation. And today we celebrate Lars
Speaker 2: from Metallica. Now Metallica formed in La October late October
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty one. Lars and James Hetfield original members, along
Speaker 2: with Dave Mustaine from Mega Deeth Fame.
Speaker 6: Good morning me, it's me again. Hey, Dave Mustaine, big
Speaker 6: fan of Covino, That rich guy I'm not too sure of.
Speaker 6: Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney and as you know, Kirk
Speaker 6: Hammett and Rob Truheio the members now of Metallica, but
Speaker 6: they transcend generations. They've been doing it since the early eighties.
Speaker 6: Hit it big in the nineties.
Speaker 2: Like I said, the Black Album sold more albums than
Speaker 2: Nirvana never mind, but when you think nineties rock, you
Speaker 2: think Nirvana Black Album legendary. A lot of people like
Speaker 2: the old stuff.
Speaker 3: I mean. The point is, Lars has been doing this
Speaker 3: for a long ass time.
Speaker 4: Out Today's sixty first birthday, and every year the same
Speaker 4: conversation comes up.
Speaker 3: Metallica come on halftime Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: They are one of the few rock bands that could
Speaker 4: translate on that main stage that I wouldn't be shocked
Speaker 4: if before all was said and done and we're run
Speaker 4: out of time, they're not getting any younger. Get Metallica
Speaker 4: out there. If you're a rock fan, I'm sure that
Speaker 4: would be something you would want.
Speaker 3: But here's the question.
Speaker 4: You see Lars, you see Metallica. Many that see them
Speaker 4: do shows still say they got it?
Speaker 3: They do, and they've been doing it. Look kill them all.
Speaker 3: To put it in perspective. Came out in eighty three,
Speaker 3: going to be twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Five, forty plus years ago. Who is standing the test
Speaker 4: of time? What athlete, what musician? What actor? Who hasn't
Speaker 4: lost a step? And I'm not gonna intentionally try to
Speaker 4: throw many people under the bus, but when you think about.
Speaker 3: The flip side.
Speaker 4: Just recently, a guy that I still think has guests
Speaker 4: in the tank, Bob Costas, removed himself from baseball play
Speaker 4: by play begauc He's like, yeah, it's not for me anymore.
Speaker 4: Letterman was wise to know a daily late night talk
Speaker 4: show not for me. And he's doing great now with
Speaker 4: his Netflix special that he does every so often where
Speaker 4: he'll do a couple of fun interviews. But knowing when
Speaker 4: to walk away is a skill in itself. But who
Speaker 4: still has the juice? One person comes to mind for me.
Speaker 4: Can you know in the music world, And I know
Speaker 4: it's a fact because I don't even really care for
Speaker 4: this performer, but they haven't missed a beat. You're in
Speaker 4: New Jersey right now, so people in your home state
Speaker 4: will be disgusted by me saying I don't even love
Speaker 4: this guy, Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 2: I know, dude, I'm more of a Bonjovy guy if
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk Jersey bands. But you're right, he's a legend.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's still in shape. I saw a picture
Speaker 2: of him where he looks more like Woitoty Allen than
Speaker 2: Woody Allen. Looks like Woody Allen. Have you seen that one?
Speaker 9: I have.
Speaker 3: But he's still ripped still, and he still puts on
Speaker 3: a performance.
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I'm I'm an East Coast guy, even
Speaker 4: though I live out here in LA. I'm more of
Speaker 4: a like I said, bon Jovi or Billy Joel or
Speaker 4: certain artists. But Billy Joel's the guy that still brings
Speaker 4: it on stage. But I'm picturing Billy Joel uptown girl
Speaker 4: in the eighties with hair, and he's dancing around.
Speaker 3: Now Billy Joel.
Speaker 4: Limps around the stage with a bed knee. Hey, he
Speaker 4: could still play the piano. He's the freaking piano man.
Speaker 4: But Billy Joel's not an answer in this conversation. But
Speaker 4: I saw Bruce Springsteen at a small venue show a
Speaker 4: couple of years back. Spot you were there serious XM.
Speaker 4: He's crowdsurfing, jumping around the stage. And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 4: how old is Bruce Springsteen sick looked at us, he is,
Speaker 4: He's one hundred and sixty three. He really is still
Speaker 4: able to deliver. So my number one answer in the
Speaker 4: music world might be Bruce springsto he still hit those
Speaker 4: notes seventy five. Oh my gosh, I love you.
Speaker 10: Wow.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine your dad crowdsurfing and jumping.
Speaker 13: Like on a he climbed levels at the Apollo Theater.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're amazed that he still has that energy level
Speaker 2: to perform that way and he's still in shape. So,
Speaker 2: you know, Rich, that's a great it's a great answer
Speaker 2: as far as again, we're celebrating longevity in the world
Speaker 2: of sports and entertainment. So the numbers eight seven, seven
Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox if you want to get involved
Speaker 2: here on the Cavino and Rich Show, you think he
Speaker 2: could hit that?
Speaker 3: You think you hit that?
Speaker 9: Dude?
Speaker 5: I think you could.
Speaker 4: You know what, here's a good question, Danny. I want
Speaker 4: you to think of this angle too. We're talking a
Speaker 4: lot of music. What about coaches. Sometimes a coach's style
Speaker 4: sort of expire expires yeah, like he may connect with
Speaker 4: the players and now you're like, no, no, your style
Speaker 4: with the story.
Speaker 7: You almost have to be a jolly, lovable coach like
Speaker 7: Andy Reid. He has to stand in the test.
Speaker 4: He's the oldest coach in the NFL and he's on
Speaker 4: the top of his game on a fifteen to one team.
Speaker 4: But a lot of times you'll be like, nah, some
Speaker 4: of these young thirty eight to forty something year old
Speaker 4: NFL coaches Mike connect Moore, and you know, many would
Speaker 4: argue that's why Belichick couldn't find the job in the
Speaker 4: NFL real quick, because people are like, yo, you're a legend,
Speaker 4: six super Bowls, you and Tom Brady.
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, that was then.
Speaker 4: This is now, and you may want to McVeigh or
Speaker 4: you know, a Kyle Kyle Shanahan type or some younger,
Speaker 4: different type of thinker.
Speaker 7: I'll give you, guys, a rapper who is so beloved
Speaker 7: that he became a really good actor and still wraps
Speaker 7: up to par with M and M on Murder Graham
Speaker 7: on his new album The Force, produced by Q tip
Speaker 7: ll Cool on the Scene in nineteen eighty four Crush Groove,
Speaker 7: famous movie you guys know well from the East Coast, Yeah,
Speaker 7: eighty five, and he reinvented himself so many times musically
Speaker 7: and obviously acted in movies and TV shows and you know,
Speaker 7: you think of the police TV shows and there's Ll
Speaker 7: Cool Jay's mug. But his fourteenth studio album was released
Speaker 7: in September and it still hits the way youngster's music
Speaker 7: hits right now, like he has not fallen off whatsoever.
Speaker 7: So as far as longevity and the hip hop world,
Speaker 7: ll cool J stands right on top.
Speaker 2: Who's holding up is the question? I love that answer
Speaker 2: so much, Danny G. I wish I came up with it.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great answer, and I think part
Speaker 2: of it has to do with looking the part too.
Speaker 2: I give a lot of the credit not only to
Speaker 2: you know, his skill level and his commitment, but how
Speaker 2: great he still looks and how he stays in shape.
Speaker 2: That has a lot to do with it, because it
Speaker 2: makes him still real of it in my mind, like
Speaker 2: Ll cool J still looks the part, and he's been
Speaker 2: doing it since the eighties. Guys, and let me tie
Speaker 2: this to sports real quick. Ladies love Cool James. Of
Speaker 2: course you love him as an actor, like dannag said,
Speaker 2: But he's in one of your favorite football movies nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety nine, Any Given Sunday, right as an actor. But
Speaker 2: what's the term that we use all the time in sports?
Speaker 3: Goat? Right, the goat?
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, he is credited, Yeah, sometimes, you
Speaker 2: know in some circles he's credited. You mentioned his what
Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen albums in that Lone Jay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his fourteenth album dropped in September in two thousand.
Speaker 3: He came out with the Goat.
Speaker 2: Now, remember Rich, prior to that, we always use the
Speaker 2: goat as like a term to describe a curse or
Speaker 2: the mush. He's the goat based on the curve of
Speaker 2: the billy goat from the cups, right, like the goat?
Speaker 2: Oh man, like that was a bad thing. The goat
Speaker 2: became a good thing when ll cool J came out
Speaker 2: with the Goat the Greatest of all time, and that
Speaker 2: sort of changed how we even used the term. I
Speaker 2: love that answer, and again I think looking the part
Speaker 2: gives him a lot of longevity. My answer that the
Speaker 2: first thing that came to mind, and because it's fresh
Speaker 2: on my mind when you think of longevity, because Lars
Speaker 2: turned sixty one, they've been doing it since eighty something Metallica.
Speaker 2: His birthday was yesterday. He just passed away at sixty five.
Speaker 2: Ricky Henderson, dude, because it's fresh on my mind. We're
Speaker 2: talking about Ricky Henderson last week. You look at the
Speaker 2: back of a baseball card, You're like, dang, dude, this
Speaker 2: dude played twenty five years in the big leagues and
Speaker 2: then he played like years after in the minor leagues.
Speaker 2: And then Danny g said something that felt weird when
Speaker 2: he said it, but then I understood what he meant.
Speaker 3: He was like, yeo, man, I feel like he wasn't
Speaker 3: playing that long ago.
Speaker 2: And it's because you know, when you look and think
Speaker 2: about it, it wasn't that long ago. He was playing
Speaker 2: with the Mets and the Dodgers, Like, it wasn't that
Speaker 2: long ag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't stand the test of time because you know,
Speaker 4: he died the other day and he hasn't been playing
Speaker 4: for hot longevity.
Speaker 2: Yeah the game, dude, he played over twenty five. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he may have died a little too soon, but he
Speaker 2: had longevity. Man, his career longevity, yeah was off the charts.
Speaker 2: He was off the charts, all right. Yeah, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: he passed away. But as far as career longevity, man,
Speaker 2: that dude brought it, and it's just fresh on my mind.
Speaker 2: His birthday was yesterday. I was just looking at how
Speaker 2: many years he played. If you get, dude, if you
Speaker 2: get sixteen fifteen years out of somebody professionally, now you're like, whoa,
Speaker 2: he did twenty five and then if you count his
Speaker 2: minor league years, like more than that, it's pretty wildly
Speaker 2: you just don't see that anymore. So anyway, I came
Speaker 2: to mind, but if you because he passed away at
Speaker 2: those change things.
Speaker 3: But I was talking professionally. Yeah, you know Mark scot One,
Speaker 3: what's up Mark?
Speaker 14: I know he's about to retire from concerts and he
Speaker 14: is the goat in my mind. Elton John still the
Speaker 14: one of the greatest yea. He performed until the guy's
Speaker 14: losing his eyesight.
Speaker 4: He I saw his last play at Dodger Stadium, and
Speaker 4: you know, he's an older dude, but it's wild when
Speaker 4: you see people will still come out to see Elton John.
Speaker 3: He has a Christmas swag with Ed Sheeran.
Speaker 4: A couple of years ago he sort of reinvented himself
Speaker 4: with Dua Lipa and Britney spears releasing stuff a couple
Speaker 4: of years ago. So Elton John, I think because of
Speaker 4: that crazy longevity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the fact that he was able.
Speaker 4: To do that, the fact that he you know, remix
Speaker 4: some of his songs with some of some younger female artists.
Speaker 4: I think they gave him that feather in his cap
Speaker 4: where he had like number one songs in all these
Speaker 4: different decades.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: His debut album, Empty Sky, I think came out in
Speaker 2: sixty nine.
Speaker 3: Dude, and he's still sixty now.
Speaker 2: That might be that might be a top like technical
Speaker 2: answer there, based on like he was putting out songs
Speaker 2: that charted from the sixties till recently.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what you see how it's not
Speaker 4: easy because even a guy like Steven Tyler recently is
Speaker 4: calling the you know, con quits in the performing side
Speaker 4: of things. Right, yes, even Tyler, you forg get tired,
Speaker 4: you forget dream on was like fifty years ago, and
Speaker 4: they were making songs for soundtracks in our you know,
Speaker 4: in our childhood in the nineties two thousand. So So again,
Speaker 4: longevity artists, athletes who stood the test of time. I
Speaker 4: got a I got give me this is there an
Speaker 4: age limit for you? Meaning it's someone too young where
Speaker 4: you're like, dude, they're still sot young. Hmmm, Because like
Speaker 4: I look at I look at a guy, someone say,
Speaker 4: I look at a guy every day that looks like.
Speaker 3: This guy, Steve Cavino, Mario Lopez.
Speaker 4: As much as there's times where you look at me like, yeah,
Speaker 4: mariy O Lopez a c slid, I want to punch
Speaker 4: this guy in the nose. He is in probably better
Speaker 4: shape than he's ever been. He's always working on something.
Speaker 4: You look around Mary Opez, always on TV hosting something,
Speaker 4: and if you follow him on social media, seems like
Speaker 4: he's really good dad. It's like he's always dancing with
Speaker 4: this always dancing with his kids, and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 4: Mario Lopez, Like he's one of those guys. I'm like,
Speaker 4: is he as as big now as he was saved
Speaker 4: by the bellant?
Speaker 3: Everywhere? He's at the boxing scene. I saw him ringside
Speaker 3: at the Fury Using fight.
Speaker 2: He's in Saudi Arabia, he's got his boxing podcast with
Speaker 2: Steve Ordolay Kim. Look, I think that's a great I
Speaker 2: really think that's a great answer. I loved everybody's answers
Speaker 2: so far, so don't let us down Fox Sports Radio Nation.
Speaker 2: Those are some great answers. I may have had the
Speaker 2: worst answer because Ricky Anderson died, but I was talking
Speaker 2: career lunch Yeah. I mean, I'm not talking a career lunge.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm saying like this person. I mean, I
Speaker 2: hate to say it, but I think the answer to
Speaker 2: the prisoner should be alive.
Speaker 3: Like there.
Speaker 4: You watch them now and yeah, they may not be
Speaker 4: who they were, but they're still delivering. I have one
Speaker 4: last controversial one. Not controversial, that's the wrong word. I
Speaker 4: have one that you might not agree with, but I
Speaker 4: still think and a lot of people be like, no,
Speaker 4: he not anymore. I still hear al Michael's voice and
Speaker 4: it feels like a big game to me. I know,
Speaker 4: people say he's lazy, and his presentation is a little lackluster,
Speaker 4: and sometimes his call seems a little unenthusiastic. But I
Speaker 4: just think his voice alone still makes me feel like
Speaker 4: it's important. When I hear Al Michael's voice, it feels
Speaker 4: important to me. Danny, the later days of Vince Scully,
Speaker 4: you probably felt the same way. He wasn't the same guy,
Speaker 4: i'd imagine, but hearing his voice made it feel big.
Speaker 3: There was nothing like it.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Tim in Michigan. Kevino will go to
Speaker 4: all the phone calls.
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 4: Longevity? It's Lar's birthday? What artist lands? The test of time?
Speaker 10: Great show, guys. You guys are the best chill in
Speaker 10: for the DP show.
Speaker 3: Thanks man. I hope you guys get the job when
Speaker 3: he retires. I hope so too. Kind of going across
Speaker 3: the tracks here, but I can't believe she's been stealing
Speaker 3: this crap for forty years.
Speaker 11: And still doing it.
Speaker 3: Whoopie.
Speaker 4: You know what, as much as I as much as
Speaker 4: I think The View might be the most unwatchable show
Speaker 4: on planet Earth, Whoopy is in the spotlight and has
Speaker 4: never really gone away.
Speaker 3: So you got a credit, Whoopy Goldberg? That right? I
Speaker 3: mean it's not easy to stay relevant for decades doing
Speaker 3: it since sister act.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I think, uh it's a great answer even
Speaker 2: before that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's been out forever, dude, that's uh. Yeah. I
Speaker 3: like her and Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.
Speaker 4: I feel like I always picture them together, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: comic relief, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, that's what it was. Uh, Travis at La,
Speaker 3: what's up?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 3: Can you don't rich.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, Steve, The reason I don't think you
Speaker 11: could have Metallica on the halftime show is you don't
Speaker 11: want to hear thirty seconds. You know they do those medalis.
Speaker 11: You don't want to hear thirty seconds of the Metallica song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't even get to kill her solos or
Speaker 3: anything like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there'll be too many, not enough. Oh yeah, like
Speaker 4: you need you know, you need some of those.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: But even if they did three strong songs, that would
Speaker 7: still be amazing decison, you know.
Speaker 2: The fun fact though, the fun fact is if they
Speaker 2: were asked, it's impossible for James Field to say no,
Speaker 2: oh yeah. So if jay Z asked him, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: would you do this, James is only capable of saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, show yourself out. Honestly, if you were to do
Speaker 4: a Metallica halftime show, enter sam Man Fuel. They got
Speaker 4: songs for like what's the mainstream ones where you can
Speaker 4: make the argument that, like your mom would know the songs.
Speaker 2: Nothing else matters, but true, wherever I may roam, the
Speaker 2: unforgiven one like I mean, it goes on.
Speaker 4: All right, even the casual fan would know all this.
Speaker 4: But in Austin what artist, announcer, athlete who do you
Speaker 4: credit to having a great longevity?
Speaker 12: Oh, you guys are great. I love listening to first
Speaker 12: of all, thanks man, Uh what longevity? Look, they're on
Speaker 12: too right now and you got to keep your numbers
Speaker 12: up and appeal to almost everybody. Sticks an re e O.
Speaker 4: You know, I actually have a relative that's a big
Speaker 4: Sticks fan, and they swear that they still deliver on
Speaker 4: a high level. Listen if if a retro act is
Speaker 4: still touring and still filling up scene.
Speaker 3: But look, that's that may be a great answer to him,
Speaker 3: but we have to be real about it. I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's the difference between the Elton John answer that Mark
Speaker 2: gave us and that one is like Elton John still
Speaker 2: still made relevant music up until recently.
Speaker 4: I mean, I do love and I can't fight this
Speaker 4: feeling anymore.
Speaker 2: No, songs are great, but when's the last time they
Speaker 2: made a song that anyone cared about?
Speaker 3: That's that's the only difference.
Speaker 2: And I'm only saying that for technicalityality reasons. No, you're right,
Speaker 2: they're probably still great. I'm not going to deny that longevity.
Speaker 4: Would you say that from his college days to his
Speaker 4: NBA days to where he is now in life, Shaquille
Speaker 4: O'Neal has done a great job of staying in our
Speaker 4: in our face. I mean, he has done a fantastic
Speaker 4: job commercial.
Speaker 3: I got a podcast starting. It's called not only pop
Speaker 3: Culture called Shaq.
Speaker 4: Blackfee, Shack Blackavie, Oh Club Shock Shack Shuck standing in
Speaker 4: line at CDs the other day.
Speaker 7: I sent you guys the photo. He has his own
Speaker 7: line of sour Gummy candies now.
Speaker 15: Sour Gummy Candies, reinvented myself, hire commercials, a TV show.
Speaker 4: Shack the world from the minute you saw him from
Speaker 4: the from LSU till now, Shaquille O'Neal has stayed in
Speaker 4: our in our vision or slightly in your peripheral.
Speaker 3: He is always Notice I'm one hundred and fifty years old,
Speaker 3: So I mean we've know, we've know, we have known.
Speaker 3: I'm being serious. We have no longer I'm an actor.
Speaker 3: We have known Shack and we've got to meet Shack
Speaker 3: and it's a true pleasure.
Speaker 15: He's a great Love Shack Love Shock B fifty two
Speaker 15: is about me, Think about me. Love Baby Shack is
Speaker 15: love Shack.
Speaker 4: Shack has been in our life thirty plus years and
Speaker 4: if you know, if you want to see something funny,
Speaker 4: google Covino and Rich. Go to YouTube and search Covino
Speaker 4: and Rich Shack. There's a video and it's one of
Speaker 4: my favorite moments. I'm not I'm not patting myself on
Speaker 4: the back, but it really was awesome.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. My own radio station called Radio.
Speaker 4: Shack I Radio. There's a video of Shaq and myself
Speaker 4: singing white guy Favorites and it's like journey and all
Speaker 4: like cheesy and Shack's like guy favorites with you.
Speaker 3: Very funny video. Just find that. But you know why
Speaker 3: I did that, because you're the whitest guy I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Baker Baker in Illinois. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 9: Hey? Speaking of Lars in Metallica, I've seen him four
Speaker 9: times in the last fifteen months. And those guys are
Speaker 9: all four of them over sixty years old and they
Speaker 9: are still kicking my ass every time I go crazy.
Speaker 9: So you've got to go see him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I don't.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's always something you want to say,
Speaker 4: because you know, when you think of yourself, you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to get older. I'm convinced
Speaker 4: though at what used to be forty, what used to
Speaker 4: be fifty or sixty, what you used to consider getting
Speaker 4: older older is just changing so much. Where I think
Speaker 4: of my grandparents, well, my grandparents were in their sixties
Speaker 4: and seventies. I felt like they look like they were
Speaker 4: fresh out of the Revolutionary Wars.
Speaker 3: Seriously, it's at different times.
Speaker 4: Like my grandmother wore a moomo. My grandfather fought in wars,
Speaker 4: who was a mechanic, Like that.
Speaker 3: Was all hard. And your grandpa's ear lobes were down
Speaker 3: to his shoulders, Yeah, it was like they were.
Speaker 4: My grandfather was like missing a finger because his brother
Speaker 4: cut it off. And they were kids, like they lived
Speaker 4: a wild, hard war depression. Like I said, my grandparents
Speaker 4: died in their early seventies, I felt like they were
Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy. I see our parents now that
Speaker 4: are roughly seventy, and they're like going on cruises, living life, retired,
Speaker 4: wearing like clothes they bought in the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: Like it's just a different world.
Speaker 4: So when I hear some of these artists still rocking
Speaker 4: it on stage at sixty, or athletes that are playing
Speaker 4: into their mid forties now, I really do think it
Speaker 4: is different now. I don't think it's because we're aging.
Speaker 4: Like man, I think I look better than most forty somethings.
Speaker 4: I really do think if you look at a picture
Speaker 4: of yourself compared to your parents, you do look younger.
