The Best of The Dan Patrick Show

00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:30
Speaker 3: So anyway, that is Rich all our.

00:00:33
Speaker 4: East Coast affiliates, right, I know Dan has a ton of people in the East Coast.

00:00:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, us no projection, projections and predictions.

00:00:39
Speaker 2: So hey, stay safe, put on your freezy freaky that white Christmas. Yeah, and Rich, I want to throw a few shout outs to you, say shot out, I said, shout outs Kay, Rain Becker, Scott Tallica Willelmina Krinder Green for eight seven seven, Jen Brown, A lot if you people chiming in live on the live chat streaming live Coveno and Rich FSR on YouTube. Covino and Rich FSR join the fun, say what's.

00:01:10
Speaker 3: Up and see what you hear? So we have lots to get to. We have prizes to give away.

00:01:14
Speaker 2: Today Midweek Major, We're gonna give you the news and sports and pop culture and decide together are these stories mid as the kiddo say Week or Major? We do that every Wednesday on our show and Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. All you have to have to do is listen and repeat verbatim and you get a prize. But strength of schedule doesn't matter. Unfortunately it does.

00:01:39
Speaker 4: But you can only win the games you play and the teams you play.

00:01:45
Speaker 3: It's true.

00:01:46
Speaker 4: I mean that you can't be like, hey, man, you know we really moved like a tougher schedule. Yeah, no, man, why and you know why would you why would you not want a cake schedule? In fact, if your team like the forty Niners who had an off year last year, if you remember McCaffrey was out the whole year, kid, all every like that team was decimated. Right, So because you suck, you get a favorable schedule the next year.

00:02:12
Speaker 3: You take advantage of that.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: Hey, if you were the prom king in your high school, but your high school is like forty kids, you're not that awesome.

00:02:19
Speaker 3: You didn't have any competition that's insulting.

00:02:21
Speaker 5: You know.

00:02:21
Speaker 3: That was Spots girls. Spot's wife is the prom queen.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's like three girls and are graduating class. Does it matter as much?

00:02:27
Speaker 1: She's beautiful?

00:02:28
Speaker 4: But I mean, I mean, but still, that's how life works, you know, like it does. Competition matters, you know what I know when I think about that a lot, Danny g. You ever see someone playing Rex sports and they talk about their high school prowess and you're like, it does no way.

00:02:43
Speaker 3: You were a good athlete, and you're like, what did you go to high school with? Like four people?

00:02:46
Speaker 4: Like the guys I play REX softball with coming on and they're like, yeah, back in the day when I was old County what like what county?

00:02:53
Speaker 5: Like?

00:02:54
Speaker 6: Yeah? Meanwhile, meanwhile, Rich has JJ McCarthy face paint on.

00:02:57
Speaker 4: That was I'm balling, bro Yes, yes, hey, I told you about a forty nine er little not fun fact.

00:03:04
Speaker 3: There's nothing really fun about it, but really interesting.

00:03:06
Speaker 4: More so than the whole Morstead hasn't punted since he was having Thanksgiving leftovers. The forty miners, they are that their mine, They're my team. The forty nine ers. You know, they might not have to leave the Bay area until August.

00:03:26
Speaker 3: I did not know that. Then again, you're the schedule watcher. Think about it.

00:03:30
Speaker 4: If the forty nine Ers win on Sunday Night against the Bears, then it's a all or nothing Week eighteen, and you know they're gonna make that the primetime game against the Seahawks Niner.

00:03:43
Speaker 3: Seahawks winner would get the one seed.

00:03:45
Speaker 4: Let's say the Niners win that game, then the path to the super Bowl goes through San Francisco, so they would they play against the Bears in Santa Clara. They play against the Seahawks, then the playoffs would go through Santa clas and then the super Bowl is in San Francisco this year, So if the forty nine Ers win, they don't have to leave the Bay until next season.

00:04:15
Speaker 6: Dude.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: So if you think comfort and not having to travel plays a factor, the forty nine ers could unpack the bags. McCaffrey could be hanging out with Olivia Culpo and his beautiful baby. George Kittle can be hanging out with his awesome wife, and yust Check could be you know, designing jackets with his you know girlfriend and what.

00:04:32
Speaker 3: So this could all be easy, Breezy.

00:04:35
Speaker 5: Niners just got to win.

00:04:36
Speaker 2: Now, look realistically, what Randy Mochoman Savage said rings true. The cream rises to the top regardless. But this is all great for forty nine ers. What you're saying is the eleven and four forty nine ers have everything going for him because not only strength of schedule and not having to leave for a while.

00:04:54
Speaker 4: What else did macho man say any other words? Wisdom to come to mind? Snap bit, that's one of my favorites.

00:05:01
Speaker 3: What about?

00:05:01
Speaker 4: What about what he proposed to Elizabeth? And he's like, Elizabeth, will you marry me?

00:05:10
Speaker 3: What is it? What did you say about three sixty one? Yeah? Yeah? But what Rich?

00:05:16
Speaker 1: Is?

00:05:16
Speaker 3: Also that?

00:05:17
Speaker 5: Again?

00:05:17
Speaker 6: Elizabeth?

00:05:18
Speaker 3: Elizabeth will will you marry me?

00:05:23
Speaker 4: They have a lot of things going their way because here to use him. They're clicking just the right time.

00:05:29
Speaker 2: So not only do they have to not travel and haven't punted and all that good stuff, they're clicking. Their offense seem seemed unstoppable against the Colts this week. They moved the ball down the field with ease, They made it look easy, and they scored at will. So it seems like, you know, Rich doesn't want to get ahead of himself as the excited forty nine ers fan, But they've got everything in their favor right now. And honestly, I don't hear a lot of people buzzing about the forty nine ers, maybe until this past week.

00:06:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, say, you know, sometimes better to go under the radar. Reading the feedback wishing everyone to merry Christmas. Say, like you said, a lot of people chiming in live.

00:06:10
Speaker 6: What's up?

00:06:10
Speaker 3: Scott William, Michelle, Mike Christmas, filthy Animal. I'm gonna go to Little Nero's Pizza tonight. Sam buys your girlfriend?

00:06:24
Speaker 4: Speaking speaking of Buzz's girlfriend, I have a Christmas thought. We're gonna get to next. But Danny, g who do you got on the phone? Who are wishing to marry Christmas?

00:06:30
Speaker 3: To?

00:06:30
Speaker 5: Here?

00:06:30
Speaker 6: Patrick, let's start listening to a five seventy in La. Travis, Yeah, what's up?

00:06:35
Speaker 3: Trav? Hey? Travis?

00:06:37
Speaker 7: Hey, you guys haven't mentioned baseball yet, but I know that Rich I think you don't care about the Mets doing liquidation because you're gonna flip to the Dodgers.

00:06:46
Speaker 3: I know people people speculate that I'm I'm jumping ship. Oh yeah.

00:06:51
Speaker 4: He drops little seeds here and there, just to let everybody know that he's about to make the move.

00:06:55
Speaker 3: That would be the weakest sports fan.

00:06:58
Speaker 4: Benedict Arnold like he gets to ask move of all time if I dropped the Mets after four plus years, it's.

00:07:04
Speaker 3: The standard move. Let me tell you something.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: If you have a wife or girlfriend and she drops the name every once in a while, that's the dude she ends up with. And Rich drops the Dodgers a lot. And he always talks about how his kids are Dodgers' fans. He brings that up to everyone who's willing to listen, just so he could forewarn us for when it happens.

00:07:22
Speaker 4: Shadow, I think the Mets decimating their team, and yeah, I saw a little a little someone did a little ai of Edwin Diaz, Pete Alonzo, Jeff McNeil, Brandon Neimo, all like walking away from City Field, all sad looking.

00:07:35
Speaker 3: Listen, if I'm those guys, I'm not sad. Go live your life.

00:07:39
Speaker 4: Edwin Diaz is gonna be uh entering Dodger Stadium to Timmy Trumpet's Life's good for Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonzo is gonna be in Baltimore, where he's probably the coolest thing that's happened to them since cal Ripken Jr. When you really think about maybe Brady Anderson. Who who else comes to mind? Oh that's a good one, Jim Palmer. When our parents were younger, like Baltimore has been Thurston. If they're like Thurston Hawl of the third, they're Thurston for a superstar. And can you know that small outfield wall, Pete A Lonzo is gonna hit fifty home runs and everyone in Baltimore is gonna appreciate him. The Mets are like the crappy ex girlfriend that then it tickle is, you know, like the Mets never appreciated Pete a Lonzo.

00:08:21
Speaker 3: And I'm a Mets fan.

00:08:22
Speaker 4: I think it's disgusting when the Mets are wanting to give guys like and and granted he's a star, but when you're hearing these big deals they want to give a guy like a Cody Bellinger or some of these folks, and the Mets won't want to give Pete more than three years. Good for him to tell the Mets to beat it.

00:08:37
Speaker 3: And Adam Jones brawling the Orioles. He was a beast.

00:08:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what, how about Brady Anderson? I did I said that by.

00:08:45
Speaker 6: One for one year about Mike Flanagan.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: Mike, What about Mike? That wasn't Mike Messina dominant for a minute? He was the moose. Absolutely.

00:08:55
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:08:55
Speaker 4: So, I mean they've had some great players, but this is a big deal for sure for them.

00:09:00
Speaker 2: So Rich is the Mets fan. Thank you Travis for the call. Always take your phone calls. The most interactive, most inclusive show on radio eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and like I said, live chat, you can watch the show.

00:09:10
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich FSR.

00:09:12
Speaker 6: Can't believe you guys left out Eddie Murray.

00:09:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean that's way back. You know, what is that Eddie Murray.

00:09:18
Speaker 4: Everyone in the media when they talk about like the best of all time, you know why because apparently Eddie Murray was a jerk. It's true, you get that, that's the legend. You've heard that story many a times where Eddie Murray. You know, depending on how you you know, ask a legend like Rob Parker who works here at FSR. There's certain athletes that are that are kind and ones that are not. And if you're a jerk to everyone in the media, you could be the greatest event. But you know, no one's gonna do any favors and then talk about how great you are, just how it.

00:09:48
Speaker 5: Is all right?

00:09:49
Speaker 4: You know what, Cove. There's a few things I want to get to coming up. It's a Christmas Eve extravagance, as we feel in for Dan Patrick. So there's a deep thought about movies and sports I want to get to. And there's a new NBA tradition. You tell me you let's choose our own little Christmas adventure.

00:10:09
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the NBA tradition because I know what you're talking about is the Spurs here. And it's a really simple question that we ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation. Is it cool or corny the new Spurs tradition? Weenbin Yama, you know, took it upon himself as a leader to introduce this new tradition, And man, I could sum it up by this rich I could say that it's cool for them and probably corny for everybody else, because traditions, I think are supposed to happen organically, or has every tradition as we know it been forced in some sort of way, like it shouldn't feel forced like a nickname.

00:10:47
Speaker 4: You can't force a nacky Before we give you the new Spurs tradition. Danny g has a queue up on standby. I want to think of some of the other things we've seen in the last you know, in our lifetime. You know, let's say, let's go from nineteen eighty two.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: Now, all right, can I give you like an example of what I meant?

00:11:02
Speaker 2: Though it's cool for them, corny for everybody else, Like the rally monkey in Anaheim, Like that was the weakest gimmicky tradition for them or for everybody else, but cool for them.

00:11:16
Speaker 3: Why do you got a probam with the rally monkey.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: Because let's be real, it's kind of corny, right, What did the rally monkey ever do to you? I decided let me give you one fan, I say, no.

00:11:26
Speaker 3: Let me give you one in the UH in the NBA.

00:11:29
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start naming sports traditions and just give me your first instinct. Don't even don't overthink it. I want the Steve Cavino, who thinks he's the coolest guy in the world barometer on this.

00:11:40
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: You know, I'm willing to give you my opinion because you're the first time you're the first time you see them unfurl and develop before your eyes. It takes away, like pulls back the curtain on the origin.

00:11:53
Speaker 4: And I say this, I say this like kindly, Cavino is and we all have friends like this, And Cavino speaks on behalf of a lot of dudes where your instinct for a lot of things, like.

00:12:02
Speaker 3: Yo, if that corny, it's like a sixth sense. You were born without it. Rich like you you you don't have that corny like.

00:12:10
Speaker 2: I guess instinct where you could you could pick up on it, Like, nah, man, that's just that's just lame.

00:12:15
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that.

00:12:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like Covino is like, yeah, they if they put the macarena at a wedding, that's when Cavino dips away to get a drink.

00:12:21
Speaker 3: I'm the guy. I'm the guys, Like, let's do it.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: I don't jump in the conga line for Buster Poindex rest in peace. He was a great performer. But I'm not feeling hot, hot hot when that song comes on, you know corny? Yeah, Like it's just the truth, man, Like some things are corny, and you also have to let things develop a little bit.

00:12:41
Speaker 4: But okay, let me give you a couple and then you know they will break and come back and and talk about the spurs and tradition.

00:12:47
Speaker 3: But let me hit you with a couple Now, you tell me corny or yeah, that's cool.

00:12:53
Speaker 4: In Sacramento, like a year ago or so, when they started to do the light the beam and after the game, like big Beam alike comes out of the arena.

00:13:01
Speaker 2: You know, I thought that was kind of cool, But I don't feel like it caught on the way they wanted to. So, you know, I think the public picked up on the fact that it's just not that cool. But I wasn't hating on it.

00:13:14
Speaker 4: That started in twenty twenty two, So in your mind, nope, okay.

00:13:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, not really, it's not really it's not really hitting it. It's been going off for a little while.

00:13:23
Speaker 4: Now, how does Steve Covino feel about touchdowns scored in Green Bay, Wisconsin followed by a Lambeau leap?

00:13:31
Speaker 3: Now, dude, that feels like tradition, right?

00:13:33
Speaker 2: Does it not feel like tradition that happened organically?

00:13:37
Speaker 3: Like that's the difference. That's the difference of organic and forced.

00:13:41
Speaker 2: And you know, some people could smell that a mile away, and to me, that one has been around long enough where it's just tradition. That's just how it is. Nothing corny about it, all right. You know what I find corny though, cheeseheads wearing a block of cheese on your head.

00:13:55
Speaker 3: That's I would never do that.

00:13:57

00:14:19
Speaker 4: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.

00:14:23
Speaker 3: What what are you doing? We were interrupting our promo.

00:14:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally out of context.

00:14:30
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you out and beat you.

00:15:30
Speaker 4: You know what people will say, Oh, they really want a white Christmas. You know what no one says, Yeah, well, like a wet, rainy Christmas, soggy, clustering, soggy Christmas. And by the way, as we look at the three games for Christmas Day tomorrow, some of them such high hopes early on, like the NFL does a great job of somehow, like they just strike gold, like they're a sour dough.

00:15:56
Speaker 3: Sam the forty nine ers of mascot.

00:15:57
Speaker 4: They're striking gold constantly with like Y know this, and the games that they get in primetime are awesome. But Christmas Day just didn't work out the way they thought. The Chiefs didn't deliver on their end of the deal. Where it's Broncos at Chiefs. Chiefs are done, Lions and Vikings both out of the playoff mix, and the Commanders, you know, laid an egg after a great season last year and the Cowboys came up short.

00:16:22
Speaker 6: So no, man, yep, So doesn't it still feel like an NBA day to you? Anyways?

00:16:29
Speaker 5: Though?

00:16:29
Speaker 6: To me Thanksgiving football and Christmas Day basketball?

00:16:34
Speaker 4: I agreed, but I feel like the NFL is trying to hijack.

00:16:39
Speaker 6: I mean, I think they have Chris forday and hijack. But like you said, with the bad games, this is a chance for the NBA to take their rightful throne.

00:16:48
Speaker 3: Curious how the.

00:16:48
Speaker 4: Ratings will be, Well, we'll see because these are three irrelevant NFL games, So the question will be does an irrelevant NFL game still dominate the NBA and rating? So we'll see tomorrow. Merry Christmas, Uh, Danny g We're gonna do Mike's words wisdom. In a little bit, we'll talk some more NFL, but you want to take a couple quick phone calls.

00:17:05
Speaker 3: I know people have been on hold. Let's say, how did Jay in Delaware?

00:17:07
Speaker 4: He just want to talk about strength of schedule, which is something we talked about last hour.

00:17:11
Speaker 6: Really quick, Rich, just so the phone stop ringing about this. Ryan and Cincy and several others called in, citing the Chappelle Show two thousand and four for pioneering the Kobe. Do you remember the skit? Rashida Jones is famously in it, and Kobe, the fake Kobe, makes her sign a contract. Listen, don't tell anybody.

00:17:33
Speaker 8: About this from the makers of the love contract comes the confidentiality.

00:17:40
Speaker 6: Don't worry.

00:17:41
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna tell anybody.

00:17:43
Speaker 6: I know you won't well who you is Kobe and that's where he shoots the condom into the wastebasket.

00:17:54
Speaker 3: Was that my origin or did that popularize something?

00:17:57
Speaker 6: At popularize something? I think maybe we were all saying, I see, I don't know, but that's what made That's what blew it up. I put it into our lexicon.

00:18:06
Speaker 4: Sometimes something's been around, but a pop culture moment really enhances it. Like Cavino and I've argued for years that I said the term milf was from American pie, and Cavino's like, you think they invented that, And I'm like, maybe they didn't invent it. But because the popularity of American pie right around the turn of the century, you know, milf became a word. We also a new no.

00:18:29
Speaker 2: I mean, man, I was claiming, like man, I, me and my high school friends used to say milf. It existed, So oh, I'll give you maybe popularize it, though for sure, we've argued.

00:18:38
Speaker 4: We've been on like a Fox Sports radio business trip and when we're meeting for breakfast, you know, I'll knock on Covino's door housekeeping and I'm like, yo, Tommy Boy, and He's like, you think Tommy Boy invented that.

00:18:48
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, but the idea my dad would do that when I was a kid. That's my point.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: So there's a difference between the origin and what popularized it. So Chappelle that he create that. Did he make that or did he popularize it? I don't know, but traditions. Hey, I'm not hating on the spurs, Okay, it takes time to develop a time to build.

00:19:13
Speaker 4: Now, let me ask you this, he said, Chappelle, did you watch any special? I did, Like, Yeah, he's a good storyteller.

00:19:20
Speaker 5: Man.

00:19:20
Speaker 4: Chappelle, I think has gone to like he's less punchliney and he's just more of like an amazing storyteller that tells funny stories. It's it's like the evolution like Sebastian Man of Scalco to me is now like a super physical comic. Totally is in that lane now, and I think David has.

00:19:39
Speaker 2: Like a caricature of himself, you know, highly animated. He really leans into the physical stuff and it works.

00:19:45
Speaker 3: It's funny.

00:19:45
Speaker 4: Chappelle seems like less of a comedian and more of like a generational like orator where he just grabs the mic and you just want to hear what he has to He's a social commentary.

00:19:53
Speaker 3: He's doing like a he's like a.

00:19:55
Speaker 6: Talk like a younger black George Burns Now. The way he's smoking on stage telling stories about how you're buying his whole town.

00:20:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be honest, it's like oddly distracting how he just doesn't stop smoking. Special all right, let's say hi to Jane Delaware. One NFL question, then we'll give away a prize here on Fox Sports Trading.

00:20:13
Speaker 3: What's up, Jay, Becky, you men, Merry Christmas, Buddy.

00:20:18
Speaker 7: Marry Christmas. While I was on hold, you guys, I just real quick out the Christmas movie traditions. But my kids, we are the two movies that we always watch for The Elf and the Muppets Christmas Carol.

00:20:28
Speaker 3: The the Muppets Christmas Carol.

00:20:31
Speaker 4: When they do Marlee and Marlee. My kids love that craft.

00:20:36
Speaker 6: I love that one.

00:20:37
Speaker 4: That's a good one, dude, That's definitely a good one. You know what I realized the other day, there's the biggest jerk.

00:20:43
Speaker 3: You know what. Let me save it. My adds blazing. Uh let's talk strength of schedule, Jay, what you got man?

00:20:51
Speaker 7: Uh So, the two teams in there that I trust the most out of those five, i'd say, or the Patriots, they've once you know, they're undefeated on the road and they finished their games. You know, they've lost for the Raiders of course in the beginning of the season, but that's that was the beginning of the season. But the Niners has brought back five and zero and they're putting away teams. You know, the last five games, they've one bout two scores. They've scored on twenty three straight borders Hunter hasn't punted since November. Those are the two teams that I trust the most of those bottom five, like, even though their strength of schedule of blah blah blah.

00:21:24
Speaker 4: Heyst as a Niners fan, I'm not going to argue that point. But we earlier talked about the five teams that have had the weakest strength of schedule this year are all playoff bound teams Niners, Chargers, Bears, Broncos, and the easiest schedule the Patriots had. And you got to ask yourself the strength of schedule matter much.

00:21:44
Speaker 3: We decided he.

00:21:45
Speaker 2: Made a good point, and I did say that. I did say, you know, it's also how you win. Yeah, you may be playing weaker teams, but how did you beat them? Did you clabbor them?

00:21:53
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:21:54
Speaker 4: That makes it different. Yeah, I think it's a great point. You know what a lot of those teams have in common. And you could say this about a lot of playoff teams, but I look at those five teams with the weakest schedule. Danny g As arguably having five of the best coaches in the NFL listen to those teams. Yeah, Kyle Shanahan, Jim Harbaugh, Ben Johnson, Sean Payton, and Mike Rabel. Those are hell of hell of good coaches that have their teams headed to the playoffs.

00:22:20
Speaker 6: So yeah, Covino said it in the first hour that they all have good fundamentals. And this is strength of schedule during this season, not prior to it. So some of these teams look good on paper going into the year.

00:22:33
Speaker 3: No doubt. All right, let's do this. Let's play a game, giveaway a prize.

00:22:37
Speaker 4: We'll come back, we'll talk more NFL and I have a more dumb fearies about holiday movies and sports, so we'll get to all that. But we do it every week on Covino and Rich as we fill in for Dan Patrick. There's a guy around here at Fox Sports Radio. His name is Mike Big Mike.

00:22:52
Speaker 2: When we he looks like a stone called Steve Austin. He looks like Rick from Pond Stars.

00:22:56
Speaker 4: And we when we first met him, he just came with a vibe that I thought he ran this place, and it's very clear everyone around here was quick to say, no, no, this guy does not run this place. But we call him Mike that runs this place, and he has words of wisdom. Take it away, Sam, it's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:23:14
Speaker 6: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

00:23:23
Speaker 1: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

00:23:26
Speaker 4: And I think that's a sentiment in a lot of offices where there's someone that appears to have a power and you realized they really don't.

00:23:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:23:34
Speaker 6: I never told you guys this story before, but since Mike's not in the building, uh before, we play his actual words of wisdom here. When I was running the OutKick the Coverage program on this network, Mike got into it a little bit with me one morning because he wanted something done faster, and he raised his voice and I said, Mike, you're not my supervisor. And he's like, well, I'm gonna email your supervisor.

00:23:58
Speaker 3: Then, and I say, he's just he's just the visor.

00:24:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know what, I think.

00:24:04
Speaker 3: Super Heath, it's super about him.

00:24:06
Speaker 6: Really. At the end of the shift, he came up to me and he's like, I'm sorry for raising my voice. I'm like, Mike, you don't run anything here.

00:24:12
Speaker 3: But yeah, but you know what, we really love Mike.

00:24:15
Speaker 6: He's awesome.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, you give them the credit that he deserves.

00:24:18
Speaker 6: He's a big teddy bear. He's one of those kind of guys.

00:24:20
Speaker 3: Let's hear his words of wisdom and it's very simple.

00:24:22
Speaker 4: Guys, repeat it word for word and you want to price eight seven seven nine nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine on Fox. Listen to Mike's words of wisdom.

00:28:28

Speaker 3: You're just coast tradition. You're the guys. What do you say, that's my girlfriend's family. What do you say?

00:29:04

00:29:05
Speaker 4: Then it's like it's corny. If I said in laws, does that mean anything? Is my girlfriend's family? Right, I'm here with them.

00:29:12
Speaker 6: Fox Sports Boys ninety nine point nine is going wild right now?

00:29:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, is getting a local boise reporter outside your house, getting your radio host and your potato queen are getting married.

00:29:22
Speaker 3: Oh wow, yes, so.

00:29:27
Speaker 4: Her family radio tycoon well called Potato Girls.

00:29:32
Speaker 2: Potato twenty twelve. So I realized that none of her family, well not her entire family, but her sister, her brother in law. A lot of the younger people had never seen It's a Wonderful Life, And I felt like the old guy, like they made it seem like it was my favorite movie and it's.

00:29:52
Speaker 4: One of which is what I'm like, which is what you promised to give your girlfriend in the future. You guys are corny, dude, so you you know, I'm like, hey, hold on, I'm not from nineteen forty six.

00:30:03
Speaker 2: That's when the movie came out. It's a classic. I'm surprised you guys have never seen it. And they made it out like, oh, he wants us to watch it. We should watch it for Steve, and I'm like, no, I don't know what we hold up. Don't watch it for me because then I'm gonna be insulted that. You know, you're looking at your phone and you're taking bathroom breaks and you're chatting over the movie, like I you watch it if you want to watch it, And I will say this, we have not yet to watch it. We have not watched it. In fact, we watched the Dave Chappelle special last night. But now I got all this pressure because they are saying, yeah, we're gonna watch It's a Wonderful Life with Steve.

00:30:36
Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, stop, what's that for me? Like, I don't want you to do anything for me. You should have seen it a.

00:30:40
Speaker 3: Long time ago.

00:30:41
Speaker 4: So you're gonna go from Edgy stand up special to nineteen forty six black and white Christmas movie.

00:30:46
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because it's it's a slurwer moving movie. And we put that on last night.

00:30:51
Speaker 6: Late at night.

00:30:52
Speaker 4: This cigarette smoking in both, yeah, exactly, that's the only commonality. But you know what, can you know brings up a good point? Movies, music, sports moments. There are things that in your mind, dude, there's a freaking classic. How could someone not appreciate it? But when you show it to your kids, or a younger girlfriend or sim to be fiance, or anyone younger in your life, it might not translate. And I noticed this for the first time years ago, when my nieces and nephew were younger. I was like, you guys want to watch a scary movie? And they're like, yeah, Uncle Rich, And I was like, you know, we're gonna watch Gremlins. I sat down my nieces and nephew, who are now like grown teenagers, are like they're in college.

00:31:41
Speaker 3: But I remember when they were little.

00:31:42
Speaker 4: I thought I was going to open their eyes to a legendary classic movie.

00:31:47
Speaker 3: I was like, dude, who they want? They'd want a magua for Christmas?

00:31:50
Speaker 5: Yo.

00:31:51
Speaker 3: They were like, Uncle Rich, you sucked. This is the cheesiest movie ever. They booed me movies think and I as night.

00:32:03
Speaker 4: As I watched it, I was like, oh my god, this is bad. It's like I stated once, it's slow, the special effects are terrible. We'll go back once in a while and you looks like it looks like something from the early eighties, Like blurry, it came in blurry. You watch something from your childhood that you know how movies come in high there for and okay, came in blurry.

00:32:24
Speaker 3: Eighties blurry.

00:32:25
Speaker 4: Watch something from back then and you have such fun memories of something that was complete trash. Like I remember going back and watching reruns of shows that I loved as a kid. I'll name two of them that are garbage that as a little boy, Rich Davis me loved you.

00:32:43
Speaker 2: But truthfully, the shows you're about to mention were garbage. Then you're just a little kid, though, see your your expectations were low.

00:32:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean these were successful shows that.

00:32:52
Speaker 4: It's classics that stand the test of time. Perfect Strangers is not a class what I CoFe show from the eighties. I thought Belki and making Bibby Bopkas was hilarious.

00:33:02
Speaker 3: It was not. Yeah, because you're a nose pick an eight year old. What do you know, Willie? I thought ALF was amazing.

00:33:09
Speaker 4: I went back and I watched an episode of ALF once and I'm like, this is nonsense.

00:33:13
Speaker 6: Most of us thought that was cheesy when it was on.

00:33:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah it was. It was cheesy.

00:33:19
Speaker 4: The difference cheezy then means even cheesier now, I'll give you classics then should stand the test of time, but not all do. And that's how I feel about Like, dude, Back to the Future came out in nineteen eighty five, it's still great today because classics stand the test of time. It's a Wonderful Life came out in nineteen forty six, and it's in black and white, and I think younger eyes see anything like that and they're immediately tuned out because it's not crystal clear clarity.

00:33:45
Speaker 3: It's just it looks old, it.

00:33:47
Speaker 4: Looks slow, and they don't It doesn't register to their weenial social media eyes. You know, it just looks They won't even give it a chance, is really what my point is, even if I hold it up. My kids liked Goonies and I thought that was cool. They were like, yeah, this is cool because it's an adventure kids fun.

00:34:04
Speaker 3: Time one movie. Yeah, I'm not surprised by that. But I'm gonna upset a lot of people when I say this. Kids want fast moving, fast acting.

00:34:13
Speaker 4: Let me upset a lot of people, the nerds out there. When I was younger, I was certainly not the coolest kid. But my family was not a Star Wars family.

00:34:24
Speaker 3: Still aren't. We're just not a Star Wars family.

00:34:27
Speaker 4: My wife likes Star Wars, but growing up, my brother and sister and my family we weren't into it. So when I was older, I investigated Star Wars because everyone I knew was like, yeah, Star Wars the best. If you watched the original nineteen seventy something Star Wars now for the first time, I promise you you'd be terribly disappointed.

00:34:49
Speaker 6: No, no, that's blasphemy.

00:34:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I don't know. Classics tend to test the time. That's my theory.

00:34:55
Speaker 6: They were so ahead of their time with those movies Rich that that's one of the reasons why the acting storyline, the special effect.

00:35:03
Speaker 3: Are you kidding it's not?

00:35:07
Speaker 2: I think you also have to explain to whoever's watching, like you have to realize, guys, yeah, this might look a little dated, but these were the innovators, the pioneers, the first imagine seeing something like this for the first when we were kids.

00:35:18
Speaker 4: The cool special the coolest special effect when we were kids was large Marge's face like we've come along, We've come a long way.

00:35:25
Speaker 3: I'm not saying Star Wars is bad. What I'm saying is watching it.

00:35:28
Speaker 6: You kind of did.

00:35:29
Speaker 4: Say watching that, you know, you know what. I guess You're right, I do. I did that gets I think it stinks watching it now. You can't get through the first one. It stinks, it does. I think it's just slow bored by it.

00:35:41
Speaker 6: There there was more storylines going on in older films, and so to Covino's point, uh, I think it was Coco Melon where I read that they changed the shot like eight times in a few seconds because the kids nowadays they need the screen to constantly change the regulation.

00:35:59
Speaker 3: You're right, Danny g. There is the show Coco Melon.

00:36:01
Speaker 4: If you got little kids, Coco Melan's like a very popular kid show.

00:36:05
Speaker 3: They change frames.

00:36:06
Speaker 4: I believe every three seconds something absurd where because the kid's attentions like boom bam.

00:36:12
Speaker 3: You know what.

00:36:12
Speaker 2: I started noticing this. I remember showing my daughter Mary Poppins, and.

00:36:17
Speaker 3: You think a kid's gonna chim Chimaru yeah, Like it just felt slow. It felt so snow and old.

00:36:23
Speaker 2: And it was that song that the Manhatter guy singing when he's floating around. By the time that song came on, my kid was sleeping. And you know what, They start off those older movies with the credits, so the kids bored before the movie even start.

00:36:38
Speaker 4: Dude, my kids love Wicked. We went to go see Wicked. Obviously as a good dad, I'm like, let's watch Wizard of Oz. They loved the Wizard of Oz. But I had to fast forward the first minute and a half because it's opening credits of who's in the movie. There's like two minutes of this is lying opening credits.

00:36:59
Speaker 3: Like what are the words? I see? What are why words? When does it start? And I'm like, oh, geez, you know, you know what.

00:37:05
Speaker 9: They need to start backwards doing like you know how with podcasts you can listen at like one and a half or two time speed.

00:37:13
Speaker 3: They need to do that with old movies. You need to be able to like there needs to be away.

00:37:16
Speaker 1: You want the moon, Mary?

00:37:17
Speaker 3: What the moon right in town?

00:37:22
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:37:22
Speaker 6: Right?

00:37:23
Speaker 9: And then it's just everything moves it two times the speed and you can listen to it and then it's like it's over in half the time.

00:37:28
Speaker 4: Oh, they need you're right spot like a podcast or like a I know a lot of baseball networks like s n Y and yes for the Yankees, could you know? And I'm sure Spectrum for the Dodgers's in ness in mess in all the they do the like a two and a half three hour game. They do some type of like cutout, they cut out the fat and it's like a half hour game.

00:37:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, the condensed version is great. Yeah, So based on this, you know, what do you think about It's a wonderful life? Is it a fail? Am I setting myself up for failure? Are they going to be bored? Seeing through younger eyes? Does it not stand to test the time?

00:38:02
Speaker 3: Beautiful?

00:38:02
Speaker 2: I look at it, I really look at it like a timeless story of life lessons and what the holiday really means. And I think classics never die. I think it's the Wizard of Oz of Christmas movies. I really do. But then again, I don't want that pressure and vouching for it, and I don't want them to be bored, and it's all my fault and I don't want to be booed the way your nieces and nephews booed you rich when you show them Gremlins.

00:38:25
Speaker 4: But think about this if certain movies and even to us, certain movies right that maybe your mom watched, are boring to us, like, Man, I don't know. Do those sports highlights that we cherish, that we saw, that we watched that we grew up thinking we're the coolest?

00:38:39
Speaker 2: Do those games? Do those moments also not translate because they look so old. You could see a highlight from the nineties and it looks old and blurry, and.

00:38:50
Speaker 4: A kid today might just think, yeah, that's weak. Or even the moves, like I reference this to you the other day, Rich, Like when we saw Magic Johnson making those moves, first time you saw him making those moves, the first time you saw someone play that way.

00:39:04
Speaker 3: So you're blown away by Magic Johnson.

00:39:07
Speaker 2: Hit today sees that on and one videos and one on one competitions and kids on social media every minute of the day. It doesn't hit the same.

00:39:15
Speaker 3: Way, and it looks old. It's kind of laying dad.

00:39:19
Speaker 4: No look pass in the eighties was something we had never seen before. Magic's on a breakaway and this is the ball off like not looking at all.

00:39:29
Speaker 3: It was like, oh my god, no, we remember, were like a no, look past right.

00:39:35
Speaker 6: You want to talk about that Lway documentary, So I'm gonna watch it tonight. It was released on Netflix Monday, and when they got to the part where Elway did the helicopter, I think that was Super Bowl thirty two. In my mind as as a little kid watching that, he helicoptered way high off the ground into the end zone.

00:39:55
Speaker 3: Same, Danny, that's all same thing.

00:39:57
Speaker 6: That's the lord, Like, that's what I think. But it was just to get a first down. It was right right inside the five yard line. Wasn't for a touchdown. And also he got like ankle high almost off for real.

00:40:10
Speaker 4: My memory of it was different than the reality. You're right, because we're kids, our perspectives off.

00:40:15
Speaker 2: Steve Mann one nine nine says nostalgia is a drug, and yeah, when kids see it from their younger perspective, it doesn't hit.

00:40:25
Speaker 3: In the same way.

00:40:26
Speaker 6: Not to take anything away from Elway, because he was such a gamer in that Super Bowl, wanted it so bad and it was awesome how he took the ball and ran. He was an older guy, he was battling injuries. But in my mind as a kid, that was one of the most awesome quarterback runs ever. And now watching that documentary and I was like, yeah, it was cool, but we've seen bigger, faster, stronger quarterbacks running the football.

00:40:50
Speaker 3: Now, that's that's weird.

00:40:51
Speaker 4: I just googled John Elway doing the helicopter and I got something else.

00:40:59
Speaker 3: Footage of that.

00:40:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was far bro farv coodn helicopter though it was weird. Yeah, Like a mad dog will like bring up Bob Coozy all the time, Bob kuz And then you'll look at the highlights, and Bob Coosey was playing a bunch of goofy white guys. He had no competition, and you're not really impressed with it. That's how your kids look like, look at Mike Tyson highlight and they're.

00:41:19
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, but that look who he's fighting. It looks because he's.

00:41:24
Speaker 9: Fighting some bum By the way, if you looked at a Bob Coosey clip when you were a kid, it would be the equivalent of looking at something from like the two thousands.

00:41:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm telling you that. That's that's the age difference.

00:41:36
Speaker 2: These movies, these highlights, these sports moments, forget about an entire game, Think of like the greatest game, the flu Game. Think about the greatest game you mentioned Brett Farv, Brett Farv's game when he when his dad died and.

00:41:48
Speaker 4: He threw for a million yards. Think of a legendary game. A kid today would never even want to sit through it because it looks old. As simple as that, it could be the greatest game, and they don't care because it doesn't work with them.

00:42:02
Speaker 3: It's not enough stimulation. That's the shame of it. My kids watch it.

00:42:05
Speaker 4: But you remember I told the story a while back, how I showed my kids the Mets eighty six game six gets by Buckner, and my kids like, Dad is like, it's all blurry?

00:42:17
Speaker 3: Like is it?

00:42:18
Speaker 5: Like?

00:42:18
Speaker 3: Is something wrong? It's all blurry?

00:42:20
Speaker 6: I'm like no.

00:42:21
Speaker 2: But hey, rich, you remember when you were a kid, you thought life was in black and white because all your Grandpappy's pictures and movies were in black and white.

00:42:28
Speaker 3: My grandparents would tell me a story, I would picture it in black and white. I thought your kids probably think your kids probably think we grew up in the blurry era. Dad, When you were a kid, was everything just blurry?

00:42:42
Speaker 4: You ask a college kid now, you ever see where they ask a college athlete, it's like what makes someone old and they're like, yeah, when they were born in the nineteen hundreds, Jesus.

00:42:52
Speaker 2: So basically the question is if classics like It's a Wonderful Life might not stand in a test of time. I'm not sure if it does. I haven't really put it a test yet, and I don't think it will. I really don't. That's why I'm hesitant. Do these moments that we cherished growing up in the world of sports, like Danny g said, the John l a helicopter, like, we have this vision of this legendary moment in our brain. Kids today would hold home at this moment, and you feel insulted as a result.

00:43:23
Speaker 3: It's just how it is, Coch.

00:43:25
Speaker 4: When you think of sports movies, see to combine them, both movies and sports. And by the way, I'm curious what people think at Covine on Rich at Fox Sports Radio and of course eight seven to seven nine nine on Fox. I am curious if people think, first of all, will It's a Wonderful Life translate to anyone that's never seen it? Now, that's question number one. Number two, sports movies, which are so near and dear to us, as sports fans and movie fans. I heard our pal Colin Cowhard recently talking about how star star stars, the best stars attract stars, the best sports movie ever, and he was very adamant in saying stars Brian Song, which I thought was an emotional, tear jerking great movie. But would anyone younger now have the patience to sit through Brian Song.

00:44:13
Speaker 2: Nope, North Dunlands forty Caddy Shack, No young person would ever sit through that, no matter how great it is. We're not saying it's not great. We're just giving you the truth. So all these things that are near and dear, they're not fast moving enough.

00:44:28
Speaker 3: These kids have pea brains.

00:44:29
Speaker 2: Social media has rotted everybody's attention span, including ours, especially kids. And I made this point recently Rich and I'll make it again, the difference between us. If you're forty something around that age, you're fluent an old guy in the analog lifestyle, but you're also fluent in fast moving social media culture of today. If you grew up younger than that, your only reference is fast moving social media culture, you do not have the attention span. You're not fluent in old timey time analog, slow moving movies.

00:45:00
Speaker 3: You have no patience for it. You think it sucks.

00:45:02
Speaker 4: There's nothing that anyone could say that could convince you that at one time this was cool because in their mind it's not.

00:45:09
Speaker 2: They don't have that reference point. That's what makes gen X and you're you're after that?

00:45:14
Speaker 6: Right?

00:45:14
Speaker 3: What you are? What are you?

00:45:15
Speaker 6: Rich?

00:45:16
Speaker 3: Alfalfa generation? What is it? Alpha? Jen Alpha?

00:45:19
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a gen X?

00:45:22
Speaker 5: Right? I was?

00:45:23
Speaker 3: Are you a gen X?

00:45:24
Speaker 4: I think I'm I'm borderline millennial? If you're born in like not around nineteen eighty early eighties.

00:45:31
Speaker 2: We can appreciate both. That's what makes us unique. That's what makes us valuable. Honestly, we're fluent in two different mindsets. It's like being being fluent in uh like Android and iOS. You know your your your mind works in both ways. A younger person only wants fast moving content, or they're falling asleep, or they're looking at their phone, or they're not interested.

00:45:55
Speaker 4: Do you think some younger person who is spending their free time playing stupid games like all right, dog dog dog cat dog cat like people that are doing stupid TikTok Instagram games, do you think they're gonna sit down for two hours and watch a black and white Christmas movie.

00:46:14
Speaker 2: No, that's the shame of it. So if that is true, that's what I'm saying. If that is true, and I and we all agree it probably is the same applies to these sports highlights and the games that we hold near and dear to our hearts. They do not care.

00:46:35
Speaker 3: All right, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take your feedback thoughts on old.

00:46:39
Speaker 4: School sports clips, sports highlights, old school movies.

00:46:43
Speaker 3: Do they goofy?

00:46:45
Speaker 2: You know how goofy stirrups must look to a young kid? George Bretton is nineteen eighty stirrups?

00:46:50
Speaker 3: What are those?

00:46:51
Speaker 1: Dad?

00:46:52
Speaker 3: Well, we used to put these things over your sock that are called stirrups. What are you from the eighteen hundred to that?

00:46:58
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:46:58
Speaker 3: But why were we all worse? Yeah? But dad, I don't wat what to hold up your stockings? But dad, why don't they just wear baseball socks?

00:47:08
Speaker 4: Right? Hey?

00:47:10
Speaker 3: Hey dad? How come the kickers only had one bar in their helmet? Are you from the eighteen hundreds?

00:47:16
Speaker 4: So you know what I mean? You're trying to tell them that it's cool, and they're like, it's not yeah, man, the evolution of of what we appreciated it because we lived both lives.

00:47:28
Speaker 3: We're a different generation.

00:47:29
Speaker 4: Younger generation has no exposure to anything but fast moving, fast acting social media expectations. The wild thing is the attention span is not there, so it is disintegrated your thoughts. It's a wonderful life. Sports highlights and you know what's interesting too. What was impressive then versus now also changed. My quick example would be you're seeing, guys, what did Kim Little kick the other day in practice seventy three yard a seventy three yard field goal that they said would have been good from seventy five and he just missed a seventy five yarder. And the other Eddie Pinero and the Niners on Monday Night football, just for the heck of it, tried like a sixty five yarder at the half and it joinked off the thing. It was like, oh, man, if you tell kids, yeah, the Buffalo Bills, they've lost four Super rolls in a row, one because of a missed field goal, and you're they're thinking, oh, what did the kicker miss like a sixty seventy fifty yardfield goal? No, it was a thirty nine yard field goal. Oh, scottiz like it's like looking, but we didn't think it was a chip shot.

00:48:35
Speaker 3: Then Yes, that's what I'm saying. They're saying through different eyes, your thoughts and midweek major.

00:48:42
Speaker 4: A lot of fun here filling in for the great Dan Patrick can mean on rech red here on Fox Sports Radio,
