Summary

The Dan Patrick Show: C&R - Dunne's Buns, Big TV NFL, Brainwave!

Date: November 22, 2025
Podcast Network: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
Hosts: Covino and Rich (C&R), with contributors Danny G., Monsi, and others

Episode Overview

This episode of The Dan Patrick Show (featuring Covino & Rich) was an energetic blend of sports talk, pop culture debate, and humor. The hosts dove into hot topics from NFL viewing choices, the evolving boundaries in swimwear fashion (prompted by Livvy Dunne's popular swimsuit photo), and rolled out their weekly interactive game, "Brainwave." The conversation, with its lively banter and sharp observations, provided both expert takes and comedic relief, in line with the show's irreverent personality.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Swimwear Standards Debate – “Dunne’s Buns”

[05:51 – 11:02]

The hosts sparked a debate on the "appropriateness" of current women’s swimwear, referencing a viral Livvy Dunne photo.
Covino questions whether high-cut, cheeky swimsuits are suitable around mixed company (families, in-laws, etc.), drawing lines between context and personal preference.
- “You think it’s appropriate for your wife with her ass out in front of your dad, in front of like your cousins? You think that’s appropriate?” ([09:35])
Rich counters that it's simply the style of today and believes women should not have to adjust their swimwear based on who’s present.
- “I feel like, hey, you got a good body. Show it off.” ([09:18])
Monsi adds perspective as a woman:
- “Let’s be real. Why I’m putting that on. It’s not the style. There’s a reason I’m showing it off.” ([08:25])
- “I purposely wore that right out at the pool party. But not at the gym.” ([09:02])
Memorable Quote:
- Covino: “Just because people do it, doesn’t mean it should be appropriate.” ([09:35])
- Rich: “Break out the granny style!” ([09:51])
Consensus: There’s generational tension and personal values at play, with no clear resolution, but plenty of laughs and mock outrage.

2. NFL Week 12 Viewing Guide - “Big TV Game of the Week”

[11:15 – 17:33]

Rich breaks down which NFL games deserve the “big TV” treatment on Sunday, giving his expert picks for must-watch action.
- Primary Pick: Colts at Chiefs
  - “You got Colts at Chiefs in the early games.” ([13:24])
  - Stakes are high for the Chiefs’ playoff hopes, and the discussion included whether Taylor Swift would be in attendance for Travis Kelce.
- Secondary Games: Steelers vs Bears gets a mention for its “good battle” and Aaron Rodgers’s attempts to change his villain image with Bears fans ([13:39]).
- Late Game Spotlight: Browns at Raiders – the “Shaduer Sanders Watch”
  - Focuses on rookie QB Shaduer Sanders’ first big start and the curiosity about whether he’s NFL material.
  - “If anything, this is almost an FU game from Shador to the Raiders.” ([16:25])
  - Danny G.: “Raiders passed on him with pick six. 58, 68, 98, 99, 108, and 135.” ([16:22])

3. NFL Prop Bets

[17:47 – 20:50]

Deep dive into prop bets around Shaduer Sanders—will he rush for 10+ yards, throw multiple TDs, complete 40+ yard passes, etc.
- Covino: “He’s a pocket passer…maybe a 10 yard run…no 20 yard gain for Shaduer.” ([18:06])
- Panel generally bets conservatively on his debut.
Rich lays out his statistical projection:
- “17 for 31, 71 touchdown, one pick. One pick. It’s like going to be…a very close game…” ([20:03])
- Predicts Raiders win 24–21, Browns to cover ([20:42])

4. Interactive Game Segment – “Brainwave”

[27:31 – 38:17]

A trivia game testing whether callers can get on the same wavelength as the hosts on pop culture and sports topics.
- Example Q1: Which 80s video game would a kid today enjoy most?
  Unanimous Answer: Super Mario Bros.
- Example Q2: Greatest team ‘choke job’—Yankees 2004, Falcons SB, Bills SB?
  Panel splits between Yankees and Falcons, highlighting Red Sox’s comeback.
Fun banter about generational references:
- “You ever meet an Italian guy that’s like, my name’s Mario. Mario. Mario, like your uncle Mario.” (Rich, [30:20])

5. Chris Brown “Flex” Story & Usher v. Chris Brown

[36:08 – 38:17]

Post-game banter leads to a story of how Chris Brown, at a NYC club, handed Rich his drink so he could impress women with dance moves.
- “He just starts popping and locking…then he looks at me and goes, give me my drink back. I was his biatch.” ([37:45])
Debate on which R&B artist—Usher or Chris Brown—would get a bigger female audience reaction. Panel largely votes Usher, with some pointing out Chris Brown’s controversial popularity.
- Monsi: “Let me tell you what. I’m not screaming for Chris Brown.” ([36:19])
