Episode Overview

This episode of Covino & Rich, within The Dan Patrick Show, is a lively, humor-filled breakdown of current sports headlines, with spirited discussions centered on the MLB playoffs—focusing on the Yankees, Dodgers, and Brewers—plus a heated rehashing of the Chiefs' dramatic loss to the Jaguars on Monday Night Football. Beyond the box scores, the crew digresses into pop culture, Disney, 80s sitcoms, AI's incursion into sports narratives, and the essence of “good losses” in football. Regulars and guests—Dan Byer, Danny G, Iowa Sam—round out the conversation with clever insight, anecdotes, and the kind of classic, friendly rivalries listeners love.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Baseball Playoff Drama: Yankees, Dodgers, and the Underdog Brewers

• Yankees & Playoff Hopes:
  The hosts muse over the Yankees’ chances of forcing a decisive Game 5. Covino urges, “Yankees win today, they win the next game, push it to a game five. ... It's been done before. So let's go.” (04:20)
• Dodgers' Narrow Escape & Manager Moves:
  Detailed analysis of last night's Dodgers game, focusing on bullpen management by manager Dave Roberts. Guest Dan Byer shares, “Dave Roberts gave them a gift putting in Blake Trinein ... Phillies had a golden opportunity there in the ninth. ... Your mind would have been blowing up.” (16:08)
  • The controversial "wheel play" is dissected, with credit debated between Mookie Betts and Dave Roberts:

    “The story was Mookie Betts called the play. ... But Dave Roberts took credit for the play after the game.” – Covino (19:00)

  • The Dodgers' chemistry and timely defense (notably Max Muncie, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman’s roles) are praised as championship-worthy.
• Brewers as Under-the-Radar Contenders:
  Discussion of the Milwaukee Brewers’ postseason grit and standout players.

  “We've downplayed them because they're not New York or LA or Chicago ... This Brewers team's got fight. ... This team is fantastic.” – Rich Davis (10:11)

  • Special mention for pitcher Mizorowski and young star Cheurio.
  • The Brewers’ fan connection is celebrated—“the city and the state have fallen in love with really a bunch of no-name guys.” – Dan Byer (12:31)
• Baseball Fandom and Pop Culture:
  The guys riff on how 80s sitcom theme songs hold life's answers, drawing energy from nostalgia to lift spirits during playoff stress.

  “The keys to happiness all live in the opening themes to 80s sitcoms.” – Covino (04:48)

---

2. Dodgers, Decision-making, and the 'Credit Game'

• The panel critiques Dave Roberts' tendencies (e.g., choosing confidence-building for players over pure competition).

  “You're not a therapist. You're not there to give guy's confidence.” – Covino (17:33)

• The "wheel play" sequence illustrates how leadership and field smarts come together:
  • Mookie Betts gets credit for the idea, but the manager gets public credit—mirroring common workplace experiences.

    “Is that how just life works? ... Whoever's in charge takes credit.” – Covino (19:04)

---

3. NFL Monday Night Football: Chiefs vs. Jaguars, 'Good Losses,' & Season Outlook

• Trevor Lawrence's Wild TD & Chiefs' Letdown:
  The dramatic play is recounted with awe—“Trevor Effin Lawrence fell not once but twice … Touchdown. He got up, he fell down there.” (49:54)
  • The guys debate Chris Jones’ lackluster effort and the defensive lapse; humorously speculate he was “pinching and rolling” on the field (36:02).
• Are the Chiefs Declining, or Is This a ‘Good Loss’?
  The show references Colin Cowherd’s morning take and hashes out whether Kansas City still has championship DNA.

  “There’s a lot of chatter of the Chiefs are ass and the Chiefs have lost it, and Kelsey’s not the same Kelsey that he was. And then on the flip side, ... with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and the veteran leadership, they will make those adjustments and they will be the Chiefs that we know.” – Covino (39:41)

  • Dan Byer highlights peak “Chiefs plays” they're not making this season:

    “Hollywood Brown gets hit in the helmet with the football because he's not aware that it's coming his way. ... These are the plays that the Chiefs aren't making in 2025.” (38:57)

  • Rich Davis sums up:

    “I think there could be such thing as a good loss.” (38:04)

• Jaguars On the Rise:
  The panel acknowledges that Jacksonville may finally be living up to their potential under new coaching.

  "The Jags, who are usually stanking ... they're looking good. ... They're walking the talk." – Rich Davis & Covino (52:05-52:21)

• Pop Culture Tangents:
  Regular digressions include AI deepfakes (and their dangers in sports), nostalgia for 80s sitcoms, and playful banter about Disney movie generations for sports fans.

Ah, yeah, I wanted to leave a dramatic pause just to scare everybody.

[Rich Davis]

Are they there?

[Covino]

Where are they? We're here.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, Danny G. Sort of like in the. In the pods on Love is Blind. Someone goes in there and like, hello, Hello.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[H]

How many people are gonna get ghosted this season?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, my goodness, it is so stupidly good. When I'm done watching baseball playoffs and Trevor Lawrence falling two times and still getting in the end zone, I turned on Love is Blind last night and I got so little sleep because I was up, no joke, till like 1:30 in the morning watching a stupid reality show. That's so entertaining.

[Covino]

All right, well, hey, strokes for different folks. Is that Peter Gammons or Philip Drummond? We be rocking out Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

I learned long ago that the world don't move to the beat of just one drum.

[Covino]

No, I'm gonna watch Love is Blind, but right now I'm focused on the Yankees. You gotta love.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, so you watch Love is Blind tomorrow?

[Covino]

Yeah, I'll watch it tomorrow. You know, I think they're gonna tease us tonight. I think they're gonna. Well, that's what One off tonight.

[Rich Davis]

That's what every good team does. You know what? In fact, for you and for the sake of just good baseball, I'm hoping some of these teams that are down 2, 0, get hot, force game fours and fives. Because otherwise, honestly, we're gonna sit around for like four days waiting for the championship round, and that's not fun.

[Covino]

Speaking of different strokes for different folks. Different strokes to rule the world. As they also said in the 80s, one day at a time. One day at a time. Yankees win today, they win the next game, push it to a game five. Is anybody series. It's been done before. So let's go. And like Rich said, you could hate on the Yankees all you want. That's fine. Just for the fun of it.

[Rich Davis]

Don't you want good baseball?

[Covino]

Exactly. Just for fun of it.

[Rich Davis]

If they win, there's a brand new life around the bend.

[Covino]

Oh, you know, that's an old theory we have, guys. Iowa Sam, Danny G. Dan Beyer, Spotty. You'll love this theory. It's an old Covino and Rich favorite, but we'll take it back on a Tuesday real quick. The keys to life, the keys to happiness all live in the soundtracks in the opening themes to 80s sitcoms. It's true. A brand new life around the bend.

[Rich Davis]

There were times I lost a dream or two.

[Covino]

Yeah. I mean, the world don't move to the beat of just one dream.

[Rich Davis]

Honestly, the words of wisdom lie right there in front of your eyes.

[Covino]

As long as we got each other, we got the world spinning right in our hands. Rain or shine, all the time.

[Rich Davis]

Come on.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

So isn't there Pocahontas just around the Riverbend? Is that like a lyric in one of their songs?

[Rich Davis]

All the answers to Pocahontas. I'm sticking to TV themes there.

[Dan Byer]

Pocahontas.

[Covino]

Boy, Disney. All the answers to Life are an 80s sitcom theme song.

[Rich Davis]

Can I guess something about Iowa Sam?

[Covino]

So if you're feeling down. Hold on. If you're feeling down about your team. Yeah. Just cue up some old who's the Boss or growing pains or Mr. Belvedere. All the answers are there, guys to cheer you up and get you right on track.

[Rich Davis]

Perfect Strangers. Throw that one in there, too.

[H]

What did we learn from Three's Company?

[Covino]

That's 70s. So that's like kind of.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's 80s theme songs, I imagine.

[Covino]

We're watching the rerun. If you.

[Rich Davis]

If you knock on someone's door, you'll be waiting for you.

[Covino]

I swear to God. Though, here's a little fun fact, too. If you look up the old Three's Company theme song in the pilot episode, you know what the lyrics were?

[H]

Oh, you guys have talked about this before.

[Rich Davis]

Dooby dooby doo doo Dooby dooby doo Dooby dooby doo.

[Covino]

Uh, what years did that air, Anyway? Is that late 70s?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, late 70s to early 80s. My dad loved John Ritter.

[Covino]

Hell, yeah. I'll tell you what. If the Yankees lose tonight, I'll meet you for a drink at the Regal Beagle and we'll drink our sorrows away.

[Rich Davis]

Flacco's been ultimately dissed and we'll explain why in a little bit. We'll talk about last night's Monday Night Football game. But I do have an observation about Iowa Sam. He's in a pocket. He's in an age pocket.

[Covino]

He's an old soul.

[Rich Davis]

I was saying he is, but he's in an age pocket much like my wife. And your girlfriend's on the lower end of that age pocket. Where their Disney movie references are the ones that we've never seen. There was the Disney renaissance as they call it, right? Like Lion King, Aladdin, 90s. Yeah, yeah. Beauty and the Beast.

[Covino]

Like even Little Mermaid was Little Mermaid, like 89.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, like, but, but that was like.

[Covino]

But Disney was dry with boring weak ass movies until the 90s. Then they exploded again.

[Rich Davis]

But then before all the ones you know now, the toy Stories and all the, you know, super elaborate Disney movies of today, there was a pocket of movies that my wife will reference. I've seen Covino's girlfriend reference it. Same with you, Sam. Like Hercules and Hunchback and Notre Dame and what's My wife. My wife. Yeah, my wife loves the. Let's get down to business. I'm like, what are you talking about? She's like, Mulan. I'm like, who seem that. She's like, everyone.

[Covino]

Yeah. My girlfriend will swear to you that Hercules is the best Disney movie. I'm like, to who? Interesting. Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

I've actually never seen Hercules or Mulan or Pocahontas. I just happen to know that song.

[Rich Davis]

He's a man of knowledge.

[Dan Byer]

But I love the Lion King.

[Covino]

I love Beauty and the Beast, Little.

[Rich Davis]

Mermaid, all those awesome. A man of wisdom.

[Covino]

Danny G. Loves his dog Aladdin. And I hope you had a Dodgers Jaguars sort of Monday night. Hope you enjoyed your Monday Night Football. We all partied here at Fox, but Dan Beyer has something to say. What's up, Dan Byer.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, you could also have A Brewer sort of night. I know that series doesn't matter to you. Like, again, like.

[Covino]

No, it is.

[Dan Byer]

I. You know what?

[Covino]

Screw it.

[H]

Officially.

[Dan Byer]

Officially, I'm a Rich Davis guy. Yes. As of October 7th. Breaking news.

[Covino]

Well, you know what?

[Dan Byer]

It's 507 Eastern. I'm a Rich Davis guy. Enough's enough.

[Covino]

It's Rich's birthday, everybody. So there you go. This is your first present of the day.

[Rich Davis]

My first present. Dan Byer's a Rich guy. Happy birthday, Rich. Yeah. You say it's Rich's birthday.

[Covino]

Well, it's his mom's birthday, too. Yeah, you say it's Rich's birthday, man. Team Dan Byer is your present. Love, Rich. You say it's Rich's birthday, man.

[Rich Davis]

I'm so excited about this.

[Covino]

Happy birthday to you.

[Rich Davis]

It is so funny, though. You were, like, you left out one team.

[Covino]

There was a reason to that, and it wasn't to slight DB's brewers. It was to bring up the fact that there's a lot of talk that the Dodgers should have lost last night. That was really the reason why I only mentioned the Dodgers, you know, when you knew the brewers were going to.

[Rich Davis]

Win that game, I'll be honest. In the first inning, when the Cubbies went up three. Oh, in the top of the inning. Three run bomb. And they just responded in the bottom of the first inning. And I remember thinking to myself, yo, there's this brewers team, maybe like a team of destiny. We've downplayed them because they're not New York or LA or Chicago or Philadelphia. This brewers team's got fight. They got gusto. They got balls. This team is fantastic.

[Dan Byer]

And Mizorowski last night, where you wondered on how he would be able to transition because he hadn't been good at the end of the regular season, was lights out and brought enormous energy.

[Rich Davis]

Dude. When he took the ball on, the comebacker, told the first baseman, I got it, Ran through first and did like a Hulkamania flex. Like, ah, Ah. I was. Yo. In that moment, I'm like, yo, this guy's awesome. He got me as a fan last night, and it's wild that the guy throws now. I just think people lose perspective because you're shocked so much with the athleticism and feats we see in sports these days.

[Covino]

Oh, speaking of, have you seen LeBron's? His feet, man, Those are brutal.

[Rich Davis]

No, I was waiting for his huge announcement. Dan Beyer, when This guy's throwing 103 and 104 on every pitch, like, it's no trouble whatsoever.

[Nicole Garcia]

It really.

[Rich Davis]

We are so spoiled that we don't realize how special and crazy that is. When we were growing up, a guy that threw 93, 94. If you have a young prospect that throws in the 90s, that's insane.

[Covino]

Even wild thing, Rick Vaughn was just hitting high 90s, right?

[Rich Davis]

It's. It's bananas to think that this kid is throwing 104 miles an hour on the regular.

[Dan Byer]

You were disappointed when you only saw 100. Like, I felt like when it flashed up, you're like, ooh, dude.

[Covino]

And his stomach.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, exactly. For perspective, slider.

[Rich Davis]

As a Mets fan, Edwin Diaz, arguably one of the best closers in the game, who will have an opt out of his contract. Maybe he'll end up on your team if the Mets don't keep him. Edwin Diaz, who's considered lights out. When he hits 100, everyone's like, oh, you know, not 99, that was 100. This guy is unbelievable. And as I said last night on the broadcast, even your coach said, your manager, he doesn't even. He hasn't even learned how to pitch yet.

[Covino]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

When they figure out and they have the right coaching and guide this kid, it's something special.

[Dan Byer]

They are. It's such a unique team because the city and the state have fallen in love with really a bunch of no name guys. Outside of Christian Yelich, you know, I mean, Contreras, you know the name. But you actually thought maybe his brother was more of the star. But he's been absolutely magnificent.

[Rich Davis]

I remember because I'm a, you know, I'm a big baseball guy. I've been the last couple years a big fan of Cheerio. I feel like he is one of those underrated guys. Like, if you don't know Cheerio.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. He's also 14 years old. Like, he's like so young.

[Covino]

Such a kid.

[Rich Davis]

And you know, last night, I don't know who hit the ball further that Vladdy grand slam against the Yankees or in the. Or in the bottom of the third, Contreras, did he get all that pitch?

[Covino]

What was the exit V low? Because I believe Vladdy's was 111 miles per hour.

[Rich Davis]

But that bomb by Contreras. Damn. By or you must. That. That was your mom. Like, okay, all right.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. I mean, it was. Vaughn's was such a. Like a question mark. You're like, oh, did he just fly out to end the inning and then it went over? Yeah, not the case with Contreras.

[Rich Davis]

So there you go. You know what? We should all root for a Yankees Brewers World Series. So that Cavino, every day would have to give your brewers props.

[Covino]

By the way, I have nothing at all against the brewers, for the record. And I do think it's a great story that I think the rest of the world is catching up to right now, because they're like, who are these guys? And you're not that far off, like DB Said, and a guy like, nobody. It's not that we knew and you didn't. No one expected them to be this good. They're just a great cast of characters and a great team all around. And again, they won seven, three last year. Cubs are up to nothing.

[Rich Davis]

You know, when you do a deep dive on a team, sometimes it could be football, NBA. When you're like, yeah, let me learn this team more. I actually did that with your brewers maybe a month or so ago. And another guy that I feel like he. He's always showed up when he plays my team. And I feel like Tarang is another guy that goes under the radar. Second baseman who has 81 RBI this year, 18 homers, 288 in today's game. Might as well be betting. 330.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. And he ended the season just absolutely on fire. I can't remember if it was August or September, but he was. I mean, yeah, he was. He was white hot instead of red hot. So they've got, Yeah, a bunch of.

[Rich Davis]

Guys you can talk about Ohtani, Mookie and Freddie and Tioscar, or Judge and Stanton or, you know, Vladdy and, you know, Kirk, that that brewers team is so under the radar.

[Covino]

Well, let me rephrase then. Okay, you big babies, big sports babies. I hope you had a Brewers, Dodgers and Jaguars sort of night. Okay. But the reason I focused on the Dodgers, Rich. And we're going to get to the Chiefs, the Brewers, we already said it. Their chemistry is undeniably good. They're just a great team with all the elements of young energy mixed with some veteran players. But you really don't know him except for, like, he said, Yellich. Last night, there was some criticism. We were here partying, celebrating Rob Parker. So a lot of us were here back at the studio. Rob Parker had a catered celebration last night here at Fox Sports Radio celebrating his press booth.

[H]

At SCSU Press box.

[Covino]

Naming press box named after him at his alma mater. So we had a good time watching. But there was a lot of speculation, not only on the Chiefs, like, what's the deal with the Chiefs? We're going to get to that. But the Dodgers, because a lot of people Were saying last night, Danny G. That your Dodgers and Dave Roberts especially deserve to lose that game. In fact, I'll just play a clip Rich for you to listen to NBC Sports. Philly former pitcher for the Phillies, Ricky Botalico was saying that Dave Roberts almost blew it.

[Dan Byer]

Let's face it, Dave Roberts gave them a gift putting in Blake Trine and Blake Trine and has been awful all season long. Phillies had a golden opportunity there in the night. They couldn't come up big. I would absolutely question what if I was think about being a Dodger fan. You would have been going, your mind would have been blowing up. It was perfect for the Phillies. He basically on a silver platter said hey I'm going to throw this guy out there because I don't think you guys are going to do anything.

[Rich Davis]

Tried to.

[Covino]

Then Vessia and then finally Sasaki.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, I mean we're kind of sitting here surmising maybe something's wrong with Sasaki and then he gets up in the bullpen. Yeah, you know what? Dave Roberts deserved to lose that game.

[Covino]

Well, he did.

[Rich Davis]

They at times will overcompensate for some mismatched play like the Dodgers. I know enough about him just from watching. And Danny G. Every day we talk Dodgers off the air. Even those two guys training and Vessia are liabilities at times.

[Covino]

Yeah. Why the hesitation though, Danny G. For Sasaki there?

[H]

Well, Dave Roberts and they were, they were debating this at the end of the broadcast as well, saying that Roberts had said before the game that if he had a chance to maybe give Trine in some confidence going into the rest of the postseason, he would do it. And there we go again. We talked about this just a few weeks back. Remember how I lost it when Roberts blew a couple of those no hitters, Remember? And I said dude, you're not a therapist. You're not there to give guy's confidence.

[Covino]

And is a close game to the time to play games like that was.

[Rich Davis]

The time to try things out.

[H]

Look, without being a hyper fan, you could argue that he was trying to give Sasaki some time to rest. He's coming off a surgery from last year, but he had a day off. He hasn't thrown a lot of pitches and he's turning into their ace closer and then there'll be a day off tomorrow. So he was sitting in a perfect pocket to bring him in. But you saw what happened right away. It was a four to three game in the bottom of the ninth and then he had to go to Sasaki and it turned Out. Great with that. Of course, you saw the wheel play, and then you saw Freeman save the.

[Rich Davis]

Game by stretching out Tommy Edmond. You know, he had to. When something like that happens, when Edmund ground ball weird. Not like a tough play for Freeman to scoop like that at first, and he did it. So, of course, Freddy continues to just.

[H]

Yeah, because it looked like a routine throw to first base. And on the telecast, he's like. He threw a lawn dart, and that's what it was.

[Rich Davis]

You got to ask yourself, after that game, Tommy's got to go up to Freddie and be like, yeah, man. You know, honestly, dinner, drinks, whatever, on me. I mean, he. He saved Edmond from being catch it.

[Covino]

No, I get it. I get it. It was a close game, so they got away with one yesterday. And you brought up that wheel play, and there's some controversy there, too. I don't know how you want to spin it or look at it, but when they got together at the mound, the story was Mookie Betts called the play.

[H]

Right.

[Covino]

But Dave Roberts took credit for the.

[H]

Play after the game. Yeah.

[Covino]

Is that how just life works? It doesn't matter who comes up the idea. Whoever's in charge takes credit for it.

[Rich Davis]

If you're. If you're at a meeting and you come up with an idea, then your boss is like, I got this great idea. That's life. That's just how Dave Roberts is the boss.

[Covino]

So I think we all saw Mookie Betts make that call, or at least bring it up.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And it does take Dave Roberts to say, yeah, do it. Yeah.

[H]

He had to agree to it.

[Covino]

Classic case of you come up with a great idea and someone else takes credit for it.

[H]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And that's just how it is.

[H]

One thing I liked about Bets is he gave credit to Rojas. He said, playing with a great infielder like him, he's taught me when to call plays like that. And he said, rojas taught me in a must win situation, we should always go with the wheel play.

[Covino]

Got so many examples of that just from real life. Bosses taking credit for your ideas. I'm sure it's happened to you and your radio career, Danny G. Anyone's career, anyone's career. And we saw that last night.

[Rich Davis]

And every movie. Is that like the plot line to every movie? Like someone's boss takes the credit for their cool idea.

[Covino]

I used to see my boss get plaques dedicated to him based on some of my ideas.

[Rich Davis]

Some of your songs were like, you got to play the song, and then it becomes a, you know, a platinum Record.

[H]

A friend of mine at Power 106, he watched Big Boy get a Rolex watch from Dr. Dre. And he was the one who put the record into rotation, right? And he just had to live with it. He's like, oh, man, I don't get a Rolex.

[Covino]

A good manager listens to his team, his players, his employees, whatever the case may be, you know, when he feels it's right.

[H]

But why won't Dave Roberts sometimes just close out a game?

[Covino]

I hate to say the dirty word, but it's probably. It all goes back to analytics, and then, as you said, confidence building. But I think that was poor timing there. I think a lot of those questionable moves come back to that.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I think that Dave Roberts is well respected in my eyes, at least among the team. And, you know, the fans may get on him, but, you know, if your boss treats you well, like, for instance, not to kiss ass around here, but our bosses treat us really well here. So if they steal an idea of mine, I don't care, because they treat us well.

[H]

You hoping for a birthday gift from them?

[Rich Davis]

By the way, speaking of birthdays, shout out to another birthday boy today. Speaking of which, Mookie Betts turns 33.

[Covino]

And as I mentioned before, Rich's. It's Rich's mom's birthday, and she tunes in, too. Rich is born on the same day as his mom.

[H]

It's Toni Braxton's birthday today, too, and Simon Cowell.

[Rich Davis]

But yeah, no. Mookie, 33 years old, in the prime of his career, trying to win another World Series.

[Covino]

Mookie Betts, just a winner, showing leadership, doing his thing. And the Dodgers looking solid, as you.

[Rich Davis]

Always love to point out.

[Covino]

Just.

[Rich Davis]

Also, just an all around great athlete and guy. Mookie Betts, like Camino's impressed with his bowling.

[Covino]

The dude could bowl like he's legit.

[H]

No, and maybe we should explain the wheel play really quick because we don't see that it was a wheelchair baseball. Yeah. So the third baseman rushes in towards home plate because you're expecting a bunt there.

[Covino]

The shortstop covers third.

[H]

Exactly. So it was a five, six. And that's the first time the Dodgers have had that combination during the season.

[Covino]

That's what makes it a really good play. The shortstop has to cover.

[Rich Davis]

Right.

[H]

Well, Bets has to be fast enough and have the athleticism.

[Covino]

Exactly.

[H]

To get to third base. And you saw him leap and. And make the. Out there. It was pretty well, you know what, though?

[Covino]

Danny G. Cause I saw Danny. I was with Danny G. Last night.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, really? What do you tell us? All about it.

[Covino]

What are you guys doing? What are you plotting? Steamy night. Oh, we were here for Rob. I don't know if this was, like, the general consensus of everybody but Danny G. Your first impression was that Mookie Betts was saying that we got to get Sasaki in. Was that the rumor?

[H]

Yeah. Cause online I kept hearing, oh, Bets made that call. Bets made that call, but people weren't saying what call.

[Covino]

Right.

[H]

And then later in the night, it was like, oh, okay, he made.

[Covino]

Are you following? Like, at first, everyone was like, yo, Mookie Beth was the one that said, sasaki needs to come in.

[Rich Davis]

Dave Roberts.

[Covino]

So that was the buzz at first. Well, then it turns out he called that wheel play solid.

[H]

Really quick. Rich, our listener tweeted last night, Dave Roberts owes Roki Sasaki a sushi dinner. Tommy Edmond owes Freddie Freeman a Porsche.

[Covino]

There you go.

[Nicole Garcia]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You know, by the way, I want to point out one last thing before we move on to so many other things we're going to get to today.

[Covino]

But Chiefs, too.

[Rich Davis]

But Dodgers, Phillies. That was Phillies opportunity to split the series. That ninth inning, they had momentum, gaining momentum. They had momentum on their side. And I'm telling you that just seeing the next play when Harrison Bader rips a nice line drive, you're like, that wheel play turned out to be so important. Otherwise, it's a tie game. But fans of other teams will tell you the execution by Max Muncie and Mookie Betts was perfect. That the likelihood of that play not working out as perfect. Like Muncie, Charge fielded it cleanly, didn't hesitate, turned around, immediately fired a strike, while Mookie's athleticism, like, quickly straddled the bag. Like, everything about that play was textbook. If you were given a baseball seminar, if you were Coach ball game, you'd.

[Covino]

Be a wheel play.

[Rich Davis]

It really was a master class. And that's how you apply the tag. That's how you don't block the base, but you straddle it. Like, everything about that, you're right.

[H]

That throw that easily 9 out of 10 times could just go past the short covering third and go down the third baseline.

[Rich Davis]

Every Met fan friend I had said, you know who throws that ball into left field? Mark Vientos, Brett Beatty, or anyone. The Mets would have had third base. So congrats to again, everyone contributing. Max Muncie.

[Covino]

Now do you guys. When I see you guys. Hey, you guys.

[Rich Davis]

The collective. The collective you guys from and gals.

[Covino]

Because every. Every night is ladies night here on Fox Sports Radio. Everybody listening. Do you guys believe in a good loss? You guys, the collective have to believe in that, right? But do you believe that the Chiefs had a good loss yesterday? Because that's the speculation here. Even Colin Cowherd was saying that this morning. You know, when you really look at what the mistakes were and what they could improve on, or do you look at it as this is the decline of the Chiefs and the incline. This is the start of something big for the Jaguars. How do you look at last night? We'll talk about that too. And of course we're giving away prizes. Showtime a homes trivia after a tough loss yesterday.

It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges we aim to explore that culture.

[Covino]

It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric that this is something we've been doing for hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.

[Nicole Garcia]

That's Sierra Teller Ornelas who with Rutherford Falls became the first Native showrunner in television. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges we explore her story along with other Native stories such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage, Burn bridges on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effort to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Covino]

Iowa Sam, is this the Doobie Brothers? Well, yes, it is, Covino. I remember one time Rerun got caught recording the Doobie Brothers.

[Rich Davis]

That's where I learned the lesson to never bootleg anything. I'm not caught.

[Covino]

Is this an original track or a bootleg from Iowa Sam? You'll never know. That's Sam on the ones and twos. We got Danny G on the phone super producing at 87799 on Fox. He'll take your phone calls because we're the most interactive, most inclusive show on radio. We love to chop it up with you guys. Dan Byers got your update in about eight minutes. We're Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

Spotty Boy.

[Covino]

What was that?

[Rich Davis]

What's that new AI like technology you and Kavino keep showing me?

[Covino]

Sora by by OpenAI When I tell.

[Rich Davis]

You the AI you're seeing now is ridiculous. My mother, I don't think she's getting fooled. I think she's a little keen to it now, but she's like, did you see Mahomes after the game? And you're seeing like really crazy AI where it's like, it looks like Mahomes on the field? Like crying and punching someone.

[Covino]

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that wasn't real. Insane. Great for society. Have you seen Michael Jackson's stand up comedy? Oh, it's great. How about Martin Luther King? That guy was a. Oh, you see him?

[Dan Byer]

Dj.

[Covino]

He was a caller. He's a great dj. Yeah, it's sad.

[Rich Davis]

Did you see the one?

[Covino]

I don't like it.

[Rich Davis]

Did you see the one where it's Martin Luther King? King. And he's like, I didn't have a dream. And he's like 6, 7. Honestly, did you see that stupid one?

[Covino]

So dumb. But it's also like do that to.

[H]

An icon of our country.

[Rich Davis]

No, it's ridiculous.

[Covino]

It's disrespectful. It's dangerous because we already live in a world where we don't know what's real and what's. Do it to Kavino, Rich. Don't do it to me. Even more so now I don't like all the AI stuff. Thank you, Kavino. And if you're off the radar on it, let's just say it's next level overnight because of what's called Sora. Sora. Yeah, Sora. So again, Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

Speaking of which, Robin Williams, the late, great Robin Williams, his daughter said, my dad wouldn't want you doing these things to his likeness and everything. So please, yeah, stop sending me because people are sending, I guess, gross Robin Williams family. They're like, oh, the look what we did with like your dad's likeness. And it's like, no, we don't.

[Covino]

And it's permeating sports. I mean it's relevant because you always see like the post game press conferences.

[Dan Byer]

Where they make them say random weird.

[Covino]

Things and it, as the AI gets better, you're going to believe it more and more. It's great. And they circulate so fast. So fast, so fast. Because immediately after the game, if the Yankees, if the Yankees lose tonight, you're going to see Aaron Boone saying some weird stuff that's not real guaranteed in a matter of minutes. So who's ever doing this? I guess. Congrats. You're quick and you're good at it.

[H]

But I love some of the dopes in the comments. Can't believe he said that. Read the room.

[Covino]

They gotta be trolling. I didn't know.

[H]

Some of, some of the people in there seem fooled.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, dude, you never know. Danny's right. I think some people believe it.

[Dan Byer]

Can I say one thing? After those awful floods in Texas, they had these fake Pictures like Blake Shelton and Patrick Mahomes down there helping. And there was like 200,000 loves and likes on Facebook. And people were thinking that was real. I'm like, it looked. Did not look real, but people just get fooled.

[H]

Yeah. Cuz Cove. There's some that are extreme, and even the biggest dummy would know, okay, that's fake. And then there's some where they just tweak it and it's more subtle. You don't know right away that it's fake.

[Rich Davis]

Spot showed me one. Not to sound sacrilegious, Spots showed me one. It was Jesus doing a selfie at the Last Supper. And he's.

[Covino]

And he's got all the apostles behind him so wild.

[Rich Davis]

And I saw one, too.

[Covino]

It's easy, too, because they were all on the same side of the table.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah, it was good. And I saw another one, and it was the. The commentator, Jim Ross from WWE fame. Remember the legendary. Oh, my God, Jim Ross. He's calling a wrestling match where Jesus beats Satan. It's like, these things and, dude, it's insane.

[Dan Byer]

I saw the one of Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross on top of the ladder.

[Covino]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. You saw that one, too?

[Dan Byer]

Yes.

[Covino]

It's all over. Yeah, they get around quick.

[Rich Davis]

I just want. I said to Spot this morning. I said, maybe it's a fad, and it goes away. I hope that's the case because I hope this future isn't all like, is that real or not? And using people's likeness when they're dead. It's weird. It's weird stuff.

[Covino]

But speaking of weird, before we get to db, just your quick thoughts on the Chiefs, Jaguars, because that was also exhilarating last night. And it's always fun when you're, you know, with a bunch of people. And like I said, we just so happened to be celebrating Rob Parker yesterday. And when you saw Trevor Lawrence run that in, the place exploded. No, because that was wild. Dude gets tripped up, falls down, falls down again and still runs it in. And the Jaguars beat the Chiefs. On what planet? This one.

[Rich Davis]

Last night on a planet where. Where Chris Jones looked like he was standing around picking his ass. And he was just standing there.

[Covino]

Like, I think he was doing the pinch and roll. Rich.

[Rich Davis]

He. I get it. Listen, sometimes. Sometimes a play does seem far enough away from you, and there is a sense of, like, do I fake it? Because, listen, if there's a roll left.

[Covino]

No, there was a pinching roll. There was a pinching roll going on.

[Rich Davis]

I get where sometimes a guy, Danny G. Looks like. Well, he's so far away from the play.

[H]

And when a quarterback' usually they stay there and protect the football.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but Chris Jones got caught off guard because of Trevor Lawrence's wherewithal to, oh, I wasn't touched. I'm going to get up. So you see Trevor Lawrence juking and moving and everything, and Chris Jones makes no attempt to even go towards him.

[Covino]

And it's so weird. It's like, you know, it's like, you know, a fly ball that's just up there forever and no one catches it. Like, that ball is up there for three minutes. No one caught it.

[Rich Davis]

I thought you were going to call it.

[Covino]

To think that he fell once. He fell once and then fell twice and then still ran it. And you're like, no one touched him.

[Rich Davis]

You know the old saying, fall once, shame on you. Fall twice, shame on the Chiefs. Can't fall again. Yeah, can't fall.

[Covino]

But I'm telling you, Rob Parker, everybody here celebrating. Rob Place exploded because we're like, oh, my God. And The Jaguars win 31, 28. Now there's so many ways to dissect what happened yesterday. And you could say, wow, the Jaguars are finally turning a quarter a corner here. New coach Trevor Lawrence is, you know, playing big, stepping up. You could say the Chiefs are losing the juice, you know, their windows closing. Or is it because there is speculation too that, hey, man, a lot of the mistakes that they're making, the reason they're losing are things that could be corrected. When you have a coach like Andy Reid and you got plenty of season left and Rich as a schedule watcher, you'll see that they'll still be up there when all said and done if they make those adjustments. And again, I'm, I'm paraphrasing some of what Colin Cowherd was saying yesterday because he still believes that the Chief Chiefs are going to chief and there's still a team, a dangerous team that are going to make those adjustments.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I think, I think there could be such thing as a good loss. Did you guys, any of you guys happen to see the pre game where Jason Kelsey sat down with Mahomes, Travis and Andy Reid? It was a really good little pre game like interview where, you know, he jokingly starts with I. The question we all want to know, hey, Travis, when's the wedding date? Then they got into to what's going on and Mahomes and Andy Reid honestly both echoed what you're saying now, which is, hey, in the past the balls bounced our way and you know, we're seeing adversity where things like one or two plays are making the difference and they're not going in our favor.

[Covino]

And when you got Patrick mahomes still throwing 318 yards, you know, still playing good, still showing his signs of magic, you have to assume that they're going to turn it around. Or maybe not. What's up, db I was just going.

[Dan Byer]

To say, the thing that stood out to me the most was the drive that the Chiefs had at the end of the game. We all remember what they did against the Bills in the playoff game to Tyree Kill, to Kelsey, bring Butker out. That was the plan this time. And what happens? Hollywood Brown gets hit in the helmet with the football because he's not aware that it's coming his way. And Troy Aikman even said on the broadcast that he probably could have gotten around to midfield. Like, those are the plays that peak Chiefs made. This version of the Chiefs, Chris Jones not running around, Hollywood Brown getting hit in the helmet. These are the plays that the Chiefs aren't making in 2025.

[Covino]

You know what the opposite of peak Chiefs is, right? Buns. Chiefs cheeks. Cheeks.

[Rich Davis]

Chiefs cheeks.

[Covino]

And so how do you view it? Because in a world to tie it back to what we were saying before about AI where you don't know what to believe. Right. You do hear a lot of people. I mean, believe your own eyes and make your own assessment. Yeah. But there's a lot of chatter of the Chiefs are ass and the Chiefs have lost it, and Kelsey's not the same Kelsey that he was. And then on the flip side, you're like, no, no, no, no, no. There's a lot of young players making a lot of young, stupid mistakes. And with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and the veteran leadership, they will make those adjustments and they will be the Chiefs that we know. Give it a few more weeks.

[Rich Davis]

I think there's a.

[Covino]

What do you believe?

[Rich Davis]

I think there's a. You know, when the packers acquired Micah Parsons, or as Jerry Jones would say, Michael Parsons, the Vegas odds gave them another game or so. I think the difference between a Chiefs team that goes 15 and 2 or 14 and 3 or 13 and 4 versus a team that goes maybe 10 and 7, 11 and 6, tries to sneak in at 10 and 7. That's the difference between these close games going one way or the other. We spent years and years watching the Chiefs win every one of those close games, and now those close games are bouncing the other way. Which doesn't mean they're bad. It just means they're not getting it anymore.

[Covino]

And it did take an incredible play from Trevor Lawrence to win that game. 31:28. So both could be true. The Chiefs could have had a tough loss, but a good loss because they could correct some of these mistakes. And maybe the Jaguars just.

[Rich Davis]

I want to talk about, I want to talk about the next, but let's go to DB for an update.

[Covino]

Dan Byer, what up, db?

[Dan Byer]

Guys, we've got some updates on the baseball game that's being delayed by rain in Detroit. Mariners and Tigers have yet to get underway with game three of their American League Divisional Series, the broadcast on Fox Sports 1. The guys just said that they're hoping for a 7:30 Eastern Time start. Now that would be opposite the 8:00 Eastern Time start of the Jays and Yankees in their game 3. So Mariners and Tigers would move to FS2. You could also see it on the Fox Sports app. And MLB Network is expected to carry the game two of the Mariners and Tigers. So if you can't see that, but because of the game being on Fox Sports 1, that's where you can find the Mariners and Tigers.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Dan Beyer, I just had a question for you yesterday because I'm sure you were locked in on the brewers game when Suzuki hit that home run. If you were watching the Dodgers, Phillies, they cut to that game right, as Suzuki was rattling the bases. Were they playing that game on TNT or tbs? Was it? Or did you missed it? People missed it.

[Dan Byer]

I missed it. Yeah, I missed it.

[Rich Davis]

I just wondered. I was like, was it airing somewhere else or did they just sadly cut, thinking nothing would happen that early?

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, because you've only got so many options, right? Like Fox can do fs. But if you're tbs, do you cut out Bones on TNT to bring it in?

[Rich Davis]

I was thinking that we need David Boreanas. I'm sorry, back to you.

[Dan Byer]

I was shocked when he wasn't Bones. I never watched the show and I'm like, he's not Bones.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I thought, same thing. I learned that now.

[Dan Byer]

Some people learned that the NHL's regular season started today. It's already underway. Blackhawks and Panthers tied up at one apiece, playing midway through the first period. It's one of three games to start the NHL season. The big news in the NFL, the Bengals acquired quarterback Joe Flacco in a trade with the Browns. Cleveland gets a fifth round pick. Bengals get Flacco and a sixth rounder. Cincinnati released quarterback Brett Rippon. Chargers acquired Ravens outside linebacker Otofe owe. He had 10 sacks last season. As part of the deal, the Chargers send safety Ola hi gilman and a fifth rounder to Baltimore Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, fined $250,000 for making an obscene gesture towards fans during Sunday's win in New Jersey against the Jets. Reports are that he's going to appeal the fine. He has until Friday to do so, and ESPN reported earlier today Bucs forward Yanisan Tedokumpo told the team he'd be will be dealt to the Knicks this past summer. And the Bucks and Knicks did have some conversations in August, but never amounted to anything. Guys, back to you, man.

[Rich Davis]

That's like, you know that hot girl, she wanted to sleep either but. But she didn't. Imagine the Knicks fans like thinking like, wow, we could have added Giannis.

[Covino]

And by the way, imagine if you knew of all the hot girls that wanted you that you didn't know about.

[Rich Davis]

Oh my goodness.

[Covino]

That you passed on. Oof. My goodness.

[Rich Davis]

All right. Hey Kavino and Rich, we got a lot to get to NFL. I mean we're, we're there man. For week five is is is a race and we're going to get to some more NFL and of course Major League Baseball playoffs all coming up and we'll give away some prizes with my home Showtime Trivia Hang tight.

It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia and on Burn Stage Burn Bridges. We aim to explore that culture.

[Covino]

It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric that this is something we've been doing for like hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.

[Nicole Garcia]

That's Sierra Teller or Ellis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of Reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage, Burn bridges on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive stre strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, like go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Covino]

Happy birthday to Rich Davis. It's the Rich Davis celebration Taco Tuesday fiesta. Happy birthday to your mom, Rich Marianne and Tony Braxton, apparently.

[H]

Yep, they're all turning 50.

[Rich Davis]

Stop it.

[Covino]

Happy 58th to everybody.

[Rich Davis]

Stop it. I'm still my 40s.

[Covino]

Covino and Rich, still the youngest in the game. We've been doing it a long time, though, and always happy to be hanging with you guys. Fox Sports Radio Nation, thank you for everything. Danny G, DB Dan Byer, IA Sam and Spots on the videos. Remember cavino and rich FSR on YouTube. And now it's time.

[H]

Really quick though. Braxton really is 58 today. Crazy, right?

[Covino]

That girl is fine. She still looks good, man. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time for our tire rack play of the day. Trevor Effin Lawrence fell not once but twice.

[Rich Davis]

Trevor under center, he slipped and he fell down.

[Covino]

Trevor fell down on the play.

[Rich Davis]

Now he's going to try and run in. He's in. And he's a touchdown. He ran in. Touchdown. He got up. He fell down there.

[Covino]

Wow.

[Rich Davis]

That is courtesy, as you could guess it, the Jaguars radio network. That's 10, 10 XL and 92.5 FM. And that was our tire rack play of the day. And for over 40 years, Tire Rack they've been helping people find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Free road hazard protection, convenient installation options all@ TireRack.com the way tire buy should be.

[Covino]

Now, Rich, besides that majestic shot of Trevor Lawrence digging for gold last night, it's like his hair was blowing in the wind. It was like a Fabio moment. And then he starts digging up his Nose. Have you seen this clip? I've seen still shots.

[Dan Byer]

Like, how did that get captured on camera?

[Covino]

He was looking like right at the camera.

[Rich Davis]

I know.

[Covino]

That's why it looks really weird. It's a strange moment. Besides that, that like any other takeaways? Like, is he showing that he's the guy that we all expected him to be? Well, Jaguars under new leadership. Are they legit? Well, last night prove that. What are your final thoughts on the Jacksonville Jaguars?

[Rich Davis]

You know, it's so funny you would say Duval. I always say I'm gonna play that because the same way Dan Campbell, a couple years we mocked when he was like, we're gonna be, you know, what is it? Bite their kneecaps and. And people mock Dan Campbell. And that dude changed around the whole culture in Detroit. And that team for the last two, three seasons is a Super bowl contender. But he was mocked at first. And same thing with Duvall.

[Covino]

When you back up, Cohen was your words. Yeah, it's always better.

[Rich Davis]

Cohen's a goofball. But guess what? The Jags, who are usually stanking like the great stink of 1858, they're looking good. Now, let's not get carried away. They're 4 and 1. Let me give you the 4 and 1.

[Covino]

But they're walking the talk. They are.

[Rich Davis]

I'm really curious to see what it looks like. We're not going to see a matchup for a minute, but when they play the Colts, that's going to show me where the AFC south is all at.

[Covino]

I mean, you say that, but they did beat Chiefs.

[Rich Davis]

So they beat the Panthers to beat your Niners. They beat the Panthers when you have to have. Right. You beat the lowly. You lost to the Jags. I'm sorry. You lost to the Bengals with Barbara.

[Dan Byer]

Last second.

[Rich Davis]

Loss. Last second. Yeah. So they hung in there, beat the Texans before the Texans turned it around, beat the Niners, capitalized on mistakes of Brock Purdy, and then they beat the Chiefs. So it's sort of. I'm not convinced you. This week they're one and a half point favorites over Dan by. Or Seahawks. That's a really telling game for me. So I. That's one of those. I'm really going to be watching closely. That's an early game on Sunday. Seahawks at Jags. Seahawks got to go all the way to Florida. It's going to be an interesting one. So that. That's a big one. And I don't know any. Any other final thoughts from last night?

[Covino]

No, just that it's going to be exciting. Like you said, watching them moving forward, man. And I don't believe that they're the Kansas City cheeks. I don't. I do think that they'll turn it around and we're going to see the same usual suspects come playoff time.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, and one last note. We hit our teaser bet again, so. So when we don't bet, we're nine and zero. Congrats, everybody.
