Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Eagles' “Positivity Bunny” Controversy

• [05:08–14:36]
• The Eagles introduced an inflatable “positivity bunny” into their locker room to boost morale amid negative vibes, despite their winning record.
• C&R ridicule the move as forced and corny, comparing it to failed attempts at organic team bonding and referencing other sports gimmicks (like the “rally monkey” and Mets’ Grimace).
• Jason Kelsey's take is shared: he found the bunny hokey and distracting, and felt a football locker room requires intensity, not childish props.

Notable Quotes:

• Rich [06:05]: “Lawn inflatables are tacky, tacky, tacky. But you know what? I have a five year old and an eight year old and you give in... now I’m the guy with an inflatable Santa on my lawn.”
• Covino [07:55]: “That [Grimace] was more organic... [the bunny] is something they forced upon the team. ...When you’re losing, those antics come back to haunt you.”
• Dan Byer quoting Jason Kelsey [08:57]: “I don’t really like the rabbit. I think it’s a little hokey… You gotta go back it up… the thing’s gotta go. ...This is something you do when everything’s rolling and you’re freaking performing.”
• Covino [12:33]: “I think that’s stupid. ...That’s for, like, a little kids little league team.”

Summary Judgment:
Organic team rituals work when a team is winning; forced mascots like the Positivity Bunny are “double doozy of lame” and disconnect from NFL locker room ethos.

2. NFL Playoff Race: Cowboys vs. Eagles

• [15:15–17:19]
• Rich analyzes remaining schedules and playoff scenarios for the Cowboys and Eagles.
• To make the playoffs, Cowboys must win out; Eagles could clinch with a 2–2 finish if the Commanders manage a split in their head-to-head.

Notable Quote:

• Rich [15:16]: “The Cowboys are 6, 6 and 1. The Eagles are 8 and 5... The one real big obstacle for the Dallas Cowboys: they play the Chargers, but that game is in Dallas. ...You win four in a row, that's the Jerry Jones, Cowboys fan dream.”

3. “Big TV Game of the Week”: What to Watch in the NFL

• [17:27–21:16]
• Rich picks out NFL games worthy of prime attention, both in early and late windows.
• Early: “Bills at Patriots” is the big matchup, highlighting Josh Allen and potential playoff implications.
• Late: Debates between “Lions at Rams” and “Packers at Broncos” as the must-see; lands on Packers vs. Broncos as the top pick.

Notable Exchange:

• Covino [20:47]: “I think that’s the best game. Me personally.”
• Rich [20:55]: “I’m going Packers, Broncos. That’s my big TV game of the week.”

4. “Brainwave”: The Game Show Segment

• [27:06–38:11]
• Caller Shane from Redding, CA plays “Brainwave,” where contestants try to match the crew’s answers on subjective sports/entertainment questions.
• Highlights include debates about the best movie snack pairing with popcorn, the worst team logos, greatest guitar shredders, and sports’ lamest debate topics.

Notable Questions and Outcomes:

• Best Movie Snack w/ Popcorn: M&Ms, Icy, or Sour Patch Kids – consensus is M&Ms.
• Worst Team Logo: Thunder, Rockies, or Rams – lively debate, some cite the Rams’ new logo as “croissant-like,” others pan the Thunder for a messy design.
• Greatest Guitar Shredder: Eddie Van Halen, Prince, or Clapton – Van Halen wins, but hosts acknowledge Prince’s all-around musical genius.
• Lamest Sports Debate: Jordan vs. LeBron wins over “Mount Rushmore” topics.

Notable Quotes:

• Dan Byer [34:55]: “We’re trying to win a game here. It’s Eddie Van Halen.”
• Rich [37:30]: “Jordan-LeBron is obvious. It’s like the worst conversation of all time.”

This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation. Learn more at don'tsleep on osa Com.

[Rich]

[Covino]

And now let's talk real quick before we talk about the games this weekend. The Eagles. Yeah, this is a classic Chris Rock grand opening grand closing because they busted out this positivity bunny because vibes are bad. Even though the Eagles have a winning record. Vibes are bad in Philadelphia.

[Rich]

Did like a therapist suggest this? Like remember on Ted Lasso they had like, they had like the in team therapist. Yeah. Maybe you guys should do a positivity bunny.

[Covino]

Eagles have installed a positivity rabbit. Bunny sounds lamer. So let's stick with bunny, positivity bunny into the locker room to emphasize positivity and good vibes. And it's one of those things, those, like, inflatable. Like those lawn inflatables.

[Rich]

You mean like the things on my lawn I said I would never have? And Now I have two little kids, so I have 10 of them.

[Covino]

I was going to say that Rich used to dump on those so hard. In fact, I know what word he used to describe him every time. When you were a younger fella used to say, those are the tackiest.

[Rich]

Yeah, they are. Lawn inflatables are tacky, tacky, tacky. But you know what? I have a five year old and an eight year old and you give in and you're like, oh, my God, now I'm the guy with an inflatable Santa on my lawn.

[Covino]

So they had a giant inflatable rabbit. You may have missed the story, but this is true. And it's a goofy Easter bunny. It looks like the paws or like the Dudley Easter bunny.

[Danny G]

Lame.

[Covino]

The offense. Thank you, pw. The offensive line. The offensive line stressed that they're not sad.

[Rich]

This is offensive.

[Covino]

It's kind of offensive. The offensive line stressed that they're not sad. They just wanted good vibes and they had this bunny put into the locker room.

[Rich]

The cheesiest things could be awesome if it's combined with winning. And of course, you know, I'm gonna go back to my Mets, because why would I not? It's me.

[Covino]

It's me. Jessica.

[Rich]

It's me.

[Danny G]

Hawk to a girl.

[Rich]

She was part of the fun.

[Covino]

But I mean, you're talking about stupid grimace.

[Rich]

I mean, but there was.

[Covino]

You're just grasping at straws. You're looking into something. You're forcing like a moment, but people could sniff right through that, man.

[Rich]

Yeah, the Mets might suck now, but let me tell you this, buddy.

[Danny G]

It's better. When Hawk to a girl was in the locker room in a cage.

[Rich]

You know what? Two years ago, when the Mets took their season of magic all the way to the NLC against Danny's Dodgers, that was a team that just really had a lot of walk offs and magic and great moments. Remember, they stunk and then they turned it on and they. They said it was because the minute grimace throughout the first pitch, that's when the hot streak started. And you know what? Something as corny as grimace becomes funny, cool and gimmicky. If your team wins.

[Covino]

Yeah, but that was more organic, Right? Like, he happened to throw out the first pitch. So they rolled with that. Even though it's corny, it was a little more organic than this because this was something that they forced upon the team. And it's like, eh, whatever, you know? But Rich nailed it. It's about, well, did they win? Because when you're losing, those antics come back to haunt you, and people start pointing at, like, these moves you're making.

[Rich]

You know when a rally monkey's cool? When you win the World Series.

[Covino]

Exactly.

[Rich]

You know when a rally monkey is not cool? When you're like, the worst team in the AL West. What's up, Angels?

[Covino]

And we're not the only ones saying it now, because even Jason Kelsey spoke about it, and if you missed it, he sort of went off on the positivity. Bunny.

[Dan Byer]

It's a lot of negativity in Philadelphia and before the game for an 8 and 4 team that's first in their division and certainly looking like they're going to be in the playoffs. I think the team was trying to make a statement, like, hey, we're. We're all in on this together. We feel like we're still the real deal.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

If I'm being honest, I don't really like the rabbit. I think it's kind of like, it's a little hokey. You got to go back it up. I think they tried it. It didn't work. You got to ditch the rabbit. I mean, the whole thing's got to go. It's got to go. That's my. I honestly, if I'm being very brutally honest, I thought it was a. To see the rabbit because I'm like, it's a sign of just, like, too much, like, joking around or something that I think is, like, actually, like, you should be really pissed off with the way you're playing. It's okay to be positive, but, like, you know, this is something you do when everything's rolling and you're freaking performing.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

It's just too corny for a team that has to get out of this funk.

[Rich]

These things are usually, again, like you said, symbolic. Like Kelsey said of a. Of a good moment. Now Spot, our video guy is a huge Seinfeld fan. I'm pretty sure no one I know knows more about Seinfeld.

[Covino]

And by the way, Rich, it's gone.

[Rich]

This bunny.

[Covino]

Oh, God.

[Rich]

I'm sure.

[Covino]

Yeah, just like that.

[Rich]

Spot, would you. Would you. Would you almost equate this to, like, you can't give yourself A nickname. George Costanza style can't be T bone or eight ball.

[Covino]

You can't force it.

[Rich]

You can't give yourself a nickname. You can't decide. It's like, have you ever been in a meeting? I'm talking to the general. You. You ever been in a meeting at work? You could work in a variety of jobs, and you'll hear some older person at the meeting say, make it go viral. Make it go viral. You don't choose what goes viral.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

I said, make it.

[Rich]

You know, we got to do. This is a great idea. Make it go viral.

[Covino]

Go viral.

[Rich]

You can't force something to go viral. You can't make something be organic. It's either just organic or not.

[Covino]

Yeah. So the Grimace example you gave organic yet cheesy, but gimmicky and cheesy. But. But Kavino, this is just. This is both. So this is double doozy of Lane.

[Rich]

Why the Grimace?

[Covino]

The corniest thing, like, what is the. What's the connection with the Eagles? I go, there may be an inside joke that I don't know, but that, like, what's the connection? The positivity Bunny. The reason I'll stick up for the horny and forced.

[Rich]

The reason I'll stick up for the dumb Grimace thing was because no one sought out and said, oh, Grimace. This will be the solution. Some. A fan or someone pointed out in, like, a funny, observational way, like, yeah, you know, ever since Grimace throughout that first pitch on, like, McDonald's promo day.

[Covino]

So I never made fun of, you.

[Rich]

Know, the Mets are like, they've won, like, six in a row or eight in a row. And it became like this organic, like, yeah, Grimace.

[Covino]

True.

[Rich]

Again, natural. When you say, oh, you know what'll be the trick, Bunny? Positivity Bunny.

[Covino]

So Jason Kelsey spoke in on it, and he sort of described it the same way we see it here.

[Rich]

I admire the attempt to be like, well, there's a problem. Let's fix it. But you can't. You can't force chemistry.

[Covino]

Hokey. He used the word hokey. That's a good word. Lame is another one. Pee Wee Herman. Thank you. Not everybody vibes with lame things like that. This is the NFL. These guys are putting their war paint on. They're getting fired up. They're trying to get in a zone.

[Rich]

No way, people.

[Covino]

This is NFL. I'm saying not everybody vibe like that.

[Rich]

I don't buy when a locker room is vulnerable and funny. You see guys like rookies go up there and do karaoke and do fun things.

[Covino]

Everybody vibes that way. You think I want to go out and do karaoke in front of a bunch of grown men?

[Rich]

That's why everyone around here says behind your back that you would not be a clubhouse guy.

[Covino]

But that's my point. Not everybody vibes that way. So if I'm really, like, trying to get in a mindset of, yo, we're going to go out there and we're going to. We're going to beat the S out of this team today, man. And it's a no holds barred, Hulk Hogan sort of atmosphere. You think that bunny's going to help me? I don't think so. I think that's stupid. Steve. The NFL Steve.

[Rich]

You want you to hug the positivity bunny. You want a bunny?

[Covino]

Go do that in your own time and then go tackle. I don't like that. I think it's corny for the NFL. That's for, like, a little kids little league team.

[Rich]

I think you're corny, dude.

[Covino]

Do you use that for your daughter's softball team for a toddler playroom? Philadelphia Eagles bad. There's. You're supposed to be a badass. You had the baddest fans in all the land. You got goofy bunny. That's corny, dude. I'm sorry. That's how I see it.

[Rich]

Well, that's in Tambuyer. Call Amazon. Stop the order on the fsr, buddy.

[Dan Byer]

I may be too late. I might just have to return it.

[Covino]

Hey, but I at least acknowledge that you make it down that way. Why are you failing to acknowledge that? I don't.

[Rich]

Okay, fine. I'll acknowledge it.

[Dan Byer]

So, I mean, I think you guys are kind of talking about, like, superstitious stuff. What about stuff like, remember the Jaguars put, like, a wood stump in their locker room and had an ax, and then someone, like, had an accident, like, well, we can't do this.

[Covino]

Had an axe.

[Dan Byer]

They did. There's something like that. Like, are you good with something like that? Like, this is like, we're.

[Covino]

It's not as corny.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, yeah. It's not as. It's not as flippant as, you know, Camino.

[Rich]

No. Camino has a problem with DB That I do not like during the baseball season. We're big baseball guys. As, you know, like the Mariners with their trident or, you know, the samurai helmet for the Angels or, you know.

[Covino]

Some are lamer than others.

[Rich]

But. But I think those little things, like, I find that to be team building and camaraderie, and guys get a kick out of it. They bust chops. Yeah.

[Covino]

I Mean, they're not little league, but.

[Rich]

It'S a grown their kid. It's a kid's game that is being played by turnover chain.

[Dan Byer]

Like, you like turnover chain?

[Rich]

Yeah. Do you like turnover chains?

[Dan Byer]

Do you like, you know, where they put the medallion?

[Covino]

I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I hate fun.

[Rich]

You like connection in college sports, they have like big turn like turnover teams in college.

[Covino]

There's teams that I'm not hating on the fun. I just don't like the gimmicky feeling of it. And by the way, I mean, I'm not alone. Jason Kelsey, who played for the Eagles, feels the same way, knows the vibe of the Eagles. I don't think that matches the vibe. And I get it. They're trying to keep it positive, but winning keeps things positive. If stupid rabbit's not going to change anything.

[Rich]

If Covino is a defender and everyone ran into the end zone after an interception to do like a choreographed dance, Kavino would be the one guy standing on the side. Like, you guys could do it.

[Covino]

I'm not. Maybe. It depends how I feel about it. And if you haven't seen Kavino won't.

[Rich]

Do the Urkel dance.

[Covino]

It's a giant inflatable, goofy looking Easter bunny. Dude.

[Rich]

They're reaching its straws. Which is why I wanted to bring this up. We're gonna get to my big. We're going to get to my big TV game in a second. But I did want to bring up where the Eagles and Cowboys are headed. Sam, hit me up with a quick schedule watcher because no one watches the schedule quite like me.

[Covino]

The rich loves to look at the schedule.

[Rich]

Game, schedule watching.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rich]

All right. Cowboys, Eagles. You might think this is all done. Eagles are 8 and 5. As Kelsey said, likely to make the playoffs, but not necessarily so.

[Covino]

The Cowboys, silly rabbits.

[Rich]

The Cowboys are 6, 6 and 1. The Eagles are 8 and 5. Now, the way the Cowboys make the postseason would be simple. You have to win four in a row. You win four in a row, you're 10, 6 and 1, right? I'm not, I'm not breaking the glass. I'm not doing any hard, you know, what do they call it now with our kids? Like Common Core math.

[Covino]

Yep. When you draw all those little legs.

[Rich]

Yeah. But no, I'm not doing that. You're 6, 6 and 1. You make the playoffs if you're 10, 6 and 1, you sweep against the Vikings, which you should. Washington and the Giants. Those are three wins. The one real big obstacle for the Dallas Cowboys they play the Chargers, but that game is in Dallas, and the Chargers need the game as well. So if they can get past that Chargers team in Dallas, you win four in a row. That's the Jerry Jones, Cowboys fan dream. You're 10 and 6. You're 10, 6, and 1.

[Covino]

It's not impossible.

[Rich]

You need the Eagles to then go 10 and 7, and you sneak in by a half a game. That means you need the Eagles to go 2 and 2 over their final four. One of those games the Eagles can lose for short is at the Bills.

[Covino]

Right?

[Rich]

So now you got one L. They're playing the Raiders this week. Danny G. I hate to say it. I think that is the W for the Eagles. Right? So now you got to say to yourself, their other two games are against the Commanders.

[Danny G]

Well, they're not beating Kenny Pickett.

[Rich]

Can he pick it?

[Covino]

Yes, he can.

[Rich]

Can he pick it?

[Covino]

Yes, he can.

[Rich]

It's all going to come down, in my opinion and the opinion of many. Can Washington. Can the Commanders force a split with a division rival? If they do, if they win One of the two games against the Eagles, they're 10, 7, 10, and 7. And the Cowboys would be 10, 6, and 1.

[Covino]

I don't see the Commanders beating the Eagles.

[Rich]

Well, then you know what? You and Jason Kelsey and all Eagles fans should be pumped. All right, let's get into this. The big TV games of the week.

[Covino]

You should see my. Fed up. I got an extra tv.

[Rich]

The game that I will have.

[Covino]

We should call It Rich's big TV game of the week. It's Rich's big TV game of the Week. Ooh. Week 15, bro. Ooh. Ow. Dude, if you don't have Philip Old Main Rivers on here, then I'm not watching with you.

[Rich]

All right, well, let's take a look at the early games. There's a lot of bunk games that I know you're not gonna care about. Like I said, Eagles, Raiders. No, thanks. Giants? Commanders? Nope. Browns and Bears. Texans and Cardinals. These are a lot of games where good teams should just win and, you know, just move a step closer to the postseason. Chiefs and Chargers. Interesting. Not that the Chiefs are totally dead, but the Chargers can put a nice exclamation point on the season and be like, yo, we're 10 and four now. We're in it to win it. But that's not the big TV game, and it's certainly not the Jags hosting the Jets, Ravens, Bengals. That would have had pizzazz had the Bengals won last week. But it's all about the Bills At Patriots. Bills at Patriots Is Drake May.

[Covino]

No doubt. No diggity. For real.

[Rich]

Is Josh Allen going to go to Foxborough and say, yo, I'm still Josh Allen? Did you see the pictures of my wife, Hailee Steinfeld that she posted for her birthday? So hot.

[Covino]

Really?

[Rich]

So, yeah, Hailee Steinfeld posted some.

[Covino]

Look him up right now.

[Rich]

Some nice. I wouldn't say they're not racy, but they're hot.

[Covino]

Where do I find these?

[Rich]

Just Google Haley Steinfeld. You'll see them. So Bills at Pats.

[Covino]

That creepo.

[Rich]

That's your tcl. Big TV game of the week. That's what you throw on?

[Covino]

Yeah, no, that's.

[Rich]

That's the early big game.

[Covino]

Great game.

[Rich]

I don't think any. Any other game competes there. I think, believe it or not, there's five games in the late window, and usually the late window is the easy one to choose. I gotta be real. My Niners Titans. For me, as a Niners fan, I don't even think it gets the big tv. I'll just have it on my phone or iPad or something. But that doesn't deserve the big TV. The Niners should win. The Niners should win by 20. Saints and Panthers. Nope.

[Danny G]

Lame, man.

[Rich]

There's three games. You tell me. Cavino. Colts and Seahawks. You would say yes. That might be because Philip Rivers wins.

[Covino]

That just adds to the drum.

[Rich]

Oh, my God, I feel like such a gimmicky fan. Because the other two games that deserve the big tv.

[Covino]

Lions. Rams.

[Rich]

Lions at the Rams and Packers at the Broncos.

[Covino]

Yeah, yeah, those are all packers at Broncos. Hey, you're calling. You tell us Lions and Rams. You're a big TV dude.

[Rich]

Lions and Rams.

[Covino]

They're all great games.

[Rich]

Lions and Rams. Buddy boy.

[Covino]

What if I told you that Philip Rivers is starting to. It's official. Does that change it?

[Rich]

I. I've never done this before on my big TV game of the week. Oh, can I change a game mid game?

[Danny G]

Oh, I thought you were gonna go split screen.

[Rich]

I could do that. But you know what I think I'm gonna picture? What I could do is say, hey, guys, I'm gonna watch the first 10 minutes. I want to see Phillips Rivers first two drives and then that'll change it. So I think you start with Philip Rivers, but I think after that.

[Covino]

I get you because the intrigue is there, right? So you gotta see what's going on.

[Rich]

Philip rivers in the third quarter if the Seahawks are winning. 28.

[Covino]

10.

[Rich]

Worth watching. No, it's really a matter of Packers. Broncos. Do you want to see what's going on in Mile High against Jordan Love or do you want to see Goff Stafford run it back? You know, another matchup on opposite teams.

[Covino]

I think that's the best game. Me personally.

[Rich]

I'm going Packers or Broncos? Packers. Broncos.

[Covino]

Tv.

[Rich]

Because these are two teams that both have super bowl hopes. I think the Rams should beat up on the lines pretty good. So I'm going Packers, Broncos. That's my big TV game of the week. And hey, let me know yours, Davis at Kovino and Rich. And coming up we are going to play Brain Wave. If you want in, you could win a Covino Rich Nerf football. This is last year's football. We got a new one.

[Covino]

It's a multiple choice too. So no pressure, just a lot of fun. Are you on the same Brain wave as everyone here in the studio? Break out 7799 on Fox.

[Rich]

Break out the dry race boards. We play next. And again looking for a contestant at 87799 on Fox. And their football up for grabs here at FOX Sports Radio now, buddy.

[Covino]

Yes.

[Rich]

Tcl.

[Covino]

Tcl.

[Rich]

You got a new tv. You watching on at least a legitimate TCL TV holiday upgrade because you can't be watching on some old small TV that doesn't have all the fixing. So right now TCL's QM8K.

[Covino]

Did you say fiction?

[Rich]

I said fixins. Their mini LED is the real MVP. Ultimate brightness, ultimate black levels for the ultimate experience. Picture so clear you could taste the turf.

[Covino]

The turf with some fiction. Fiction. And it's not fixed. Thin. I did say fixin. And it's not just football. Movies look cinematic. Games feel smooth. And yes, the in laws, everybody that comes by, yeah, your neighbors, your friends, they all notice. They don't want to leave. That's the only downside.

[Rich]

You know what? I'm going to watch my TCL next Friday. I think we'll have some people over to watch it. Jake, Paul, Anthony, Joshua.

[Covino]

Nice.

[Rich]

All right, let's be fun. Let's tell everyone about the holiday savings. Guys. TCL TVs go premium with the QM8K. That's brilliant picture, huge sound. That's the ultimate choice. Or you could grab the versatile QM6K that's got the elevated game day experience.

Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everybody. And an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard.

It's the game, the new game that's sweeping the nation. We do it on Fridays. It's Brain Wave. Do Covino and Rich really share the same brain?

[Rich]

Doris Day Rich and Jerry Reed of.

[Covino]

The South Pacific, Joe DiMaggio is their crew not far behind?

[Rich]

We're one.

[Covino]

Welcome to Brainwave.

[Announcer]

Try to make sense of the brain.

[Covino]

It's easy. We drop fun, sports, music and entertainment questions. And if you match with enough of these bosoms, you win. I love that. On the count of three, reveal Brainwave.

[Dan Byer]

One, two, three.

[Covino]

Yeah, you guys are on the same wavelength right now. By the way, if you want to see the reveals right, Danny G. Just go to covino and rich FSR on YouTube. Now play along at home.

[Danny G]

Yes, sir. Yeah, we tailored this game for our new YouTube channel. Happy Friday. Questions in this game are all subjective, but you just need to try and match the brain of our whole crew. Let's get our contestant on the stage. Studio lines and then we're going to explain how everything runs. Shane was the first one through. He's in Reading, California.

[Covino]

Hey, what up, Shane?

[Danny G]

All the callers, thank you. Phones have been lit all day. Shane, you know how this game goes, right?

[Covino]

I sure do.

[Danny G]

All right. Thank you for being a regular listener. I have five rounds ready to go. Our contestant needs to win two of them to be the champ and walk away with a CNR nerf football. I'm going to ask a sports, music or entertainment question and Then I'll give three debatable answers to choose from. The six of us in studio are gonna write down our answers on the dry erase boards. Our contestant has to match with four of us to win the round. So he's got a bat667. Or no matter the caller's answer, if all six of us in studio happen to match, then Shane, you automatically win that round. All right, guys, all ready with your dry erase boards?

[Rich]

This game sounds a lot. This game's a lot simpler than it sounds. Here we go.

[Danny G]

All right, here we go. Round one. Let's start with entertainment. Which of these movie theater concessions goes best with popcorn? M and M's An Icy or Sour Patch Kids.

[Covino]

Ooh. All right, that's a good one.

[Danny G]

Brenda and I got into a heated debate over this last night as I was preparing the game.

[Covino]

Well, the key is what goes best with the.

[Danny G]

The popcorn.

[Covino]

Yeah, that's the key here, cuz they're all great answers.

[Rich]

I'd say the three choices again.

[Danny G]

M and M's an Icy or Sour Patch Kids.

[Covino]

I'm locked. I'm ready.

[Danny G]

Everybody locked in?

[Rich]

Yeah, locked.

[Danny G]

All right, and Shane, we're going to need your answer now. On the count of three. One, two, three.

[Covino]

Sour Patch Kids.

[Danny G]

Oh, he says Sour Patch Kids. All right, Covina, we start with you.

[Covino]

I don't know how sour Patrick is going with popcorn at all.

[Rich]

Ms, let me tell you. Shane, gets the popcorn out of your teeth. Shane, let me tell you, that's actually brilliant.

[Covino]

That's funny.

[Rich]

Does it?

[Covino]

I don't know.

[Rich]

Oh, he's saying the gumminess will pull the.

[Covino]

That's a funny yes.

[Rich]

Shane, you're thinking on the next level. I was just thinking.

[Covino]

You overthought that.

[Rich]

I was thinking when Camino was thinking, I. If you said rich, what do you like the best? My answer? Sour Patch Kids. But what goes with popcorn? M and M's, right? Salty and sweet.

[Danny G]

All right, Dan Beyer, MMS. He says M&MS.

[Covino]

Oh, wait. Oh, spotty. Three for three. So FYI, today I'm playing courtesy of Wes from Idaho via the YouTube chat. Nice. And he went with M and M's. Oh, cool as well. Salty and sweet.

[Rich]

Come on.

[Covino]

That's what I thought.

[Danny G]

I think of the movie theater on a hot summer day and you sneak inside and you get a cherry icy with your popcorn.

[Covino]

What? I mean, who doesn't like a cherry icy? Come on.

[Rich]

Again.

[Danny G]

No, that's the way to go.

[Rich]

If you're gonna get an icy too. I feel like you gotta get the Coca Cola one.

[Danny G]

What'd you say, Sam?

[Covino]

We were all on the same page here until Danny's icy answer.

[Rich]

I also said Eminem's.

[Covino]

We would have could have gone six for six. He could have got a point. Sounds like we agree with Brenda, Danny, Jenny.

[Danny G]

All right, we're going to move to round two. Now. Let's go to sports. Okay, which of these teams logos is the worst? The Colorado Rockies.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Danny G]

The OKC Thunder or the LA Rams? Okay, These are ones that are on all the lists of worst team logos. All right, so the CR for the Rockies, the OKC Thunder. They did a bad job trying to include a basketball. And then the LA Rams. A lot of people thinks it looks like a croissant.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Danny G]

I think.

[Rich]

I think it's obvious.

[Danny G]

All right, I'm gonna write my answer down. Everybody locked in?

[Rich]

Yes, locked.

[Danny G]

All right, Shane, on the count of three. One, two, three.

[Covino]

Defender.

[Danny G]

Who?

[Covino]

The Thunder.

[Danny G]

Oh, the Thunder. Okay, and we're gonna go in reverse order this time. Samuel L. Johnson.

[Rich]

All right, I gotta get my hands working here.

[Covino]

I said the Thunder.

[Danny G]

Oh, nice.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Danny G]

I. You know, I like their colors, but I just can't get over that latest logo they went with. I said the LA Rams. It bugs me to see that croissant. Spotty Boy.

[Covino]

Wes went with the Rockies. I'm sorry? CNR is the logo. I think that's why he hates it. CNR stands for our show.

[Danny G]

Dan Byer.

[Covino]

Yeah, he hates it.

[Dan Byer]

By the way, I remember what was said about me and Monty when we filled in for you guys. Yeah, about six months ago. So there's no way I'm going with cnr then. I'm going with okc. Okc.

[Danny G]

All right, Rich.

[Rich]

Danny, it's really funny what you said about the Rams because I love this team's colors. It was my kids first T ball team. I love the colors, but that. It looks like word art. The Rockies need to upgrade. The Rockies logo stinks.

[Covino]

Oh, my logo is our.

[Rich]

Our logo. No, no, no. Their logo is like a mountain range with like. It looks.

[Dan Byer]

It looks.

[Covino]

I get it. I'm going with. With Danny G. And the Rams.

[Rich]

I think the Rams in that phone.

[Covino]

Gray the most criticism. I like their colors too. And I'm. I don't hate on it, but a lot of the criticism was it looks like the old Internet Explorer.

[Dan Byer]

The Thunder have seven different colors. There isn't really even a lightning bolt or anything. It's just some shield.

[Rich]

That's true.

[Dan Byer]

It's a mess.

[Rich]

There's something there.

[Danny G]

I Like that debate. All right, we're going to go to round three. Shane, need to step it up here. Let's go to the music category. Out of these artists who shredded on the guitar the hardest in their prime. Oh, Eric Clapton. Oh, Prince or Eddie Van Halen. All right, Clapton, Prince or Eddie Van Halen.

[Rich]

All right, I think it's. I don't think it is.

[Danny G]

You don't think so?

[Rich]

No, I mean breezy or.

[Danny G]

You think so?

[Rich]

All right, let's. Let's see what. Let's see what Shane's got to say.

[Danny G]

All right, everybody locked in?

[Rich]

Yep.

[Danny G]

All right, on the count of three, Shane. One, two, three. Eddie Van Halen says Van Halen Covino, you are the rock God on our show.

[Covino]

That's right. It is obviously Eddie Van Halen. I even drew the little logo there. Van Halen, definitely.

[Rich]

Okay, Rich, on our bonus podcast, over promised yesterday, we had Grammy award winner and music legend Jimmy Jam. And he said, in his career, you know, the guy that's made number one records for everyone, he said, there is no better musician he's ever met in his life. A guy that could pick up any instrument and play it better than that person, than Prince, and even.

[Covino]

Hands on your eyes.

[Dan Byer]

You know what? Gosh.

[Covino]

Am I up?

[Danny G]

Yeah, you are.

[Dan Byer]

I. I feel that this is the people. No offense, Rich. The people that want to say Prince want to make their music like. They're like, no, it was Prince. I know. We're trying to win a game here. We're trying to win a game here. It's Eddie Van Halen.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, we're trying to win a game here. So much about music. I'm gonna say. I was just gonna say because of that one clip that we've seen at the George Harrison where he shreds it. So that's. That's why I. That's what I think is.

[Rich]

Hey, I hope he wins. I'm just saying. I was listening to our new pal, Jimmy.

[Dan Byer]

Jim.

[Danny G]

That's Spotty Boy.

[Covino]

Eruption. Hello. Yes. Yeah. Eddie Van Halen, man.

[Danny G]

Shane, I'm sorry, because even Clapton has commented on how great Prince was with the guitar in his hands. I said Prince.

[Covino]

Yeah. What's wrong with you?

[Dan Byer]

You guys are trying to be smarty pants here. We're trying to give away a prize. Come on.

[Covino]

What's the tally here?

[Danny G]

Yeah, but he's trying to read our minds. We're not trying to read the caller's mind.

[Covino]

Van Halen. Yeah, we have Prince. We have. Okay, so if he. If I say Van Halen, he Gets the point, right?

[Dan Byer]

Yes.

[Covino]

Well, it's your lucky day because I said any Van Halen. All right, you got one point, buddy.

[Dan Byer]

Nice.

[Danny G]

All right, Shane, you're on the board. Halfway to CNR Nerf football. All right, let's go. Let's go back to sports for round four. Prince, which of these. This is the lamest sports talk topic. Oh, Jordan versus LeBron. Who's on your Mount Rushmore list? Or steroid users in the hall of Fame?

[Covino]

Oh, man, all classics.

[Rich]

I think Des in number one.

[Covino]

Yeah, me too.

[Danny G]

All right, let's all write our answers down. Everybody locked in?

[Covino]

Locked.

[Danny G]

Shane, we need your answer on the count of three. One, two, three.

[Covino]

Jordan and LeBron.

[Danny G]

Is that a question? All right, we go in reverse order this time. Samuel L. Johnson.

[Covino]

All right, if I hear this topic come up, I either doze off or turn. Turn the channel. I said Jordan versus LeBron.

[Danny G]

All right. I also said Jordan versus LeBron. Although I gotta say, the Mount Rushmore thing is a close second. Spotty boy.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

So Wes went with the Mount Rushmore.

[Danny G]

Not mad at it.

[Covino]

Yeah, he hates it.

[Danny G]

All right, Dan Byer.

[Dan Byer]

Not only is it number one, it's all of the top 100. LBJ versus Jordan. Yes. No doubt about it.

[Covino]

Bain's Johnson.

[Danny G]

All right, Rich, you could win if.

[Covino]

You have a certain answer I wrote down.

[Rich]

When people talk about a rally rabbit. No, I. An emotional rabbit. Jordan, LeBron is obvious. It's like the worst conversation of all time.

[Danny G]

We got a winner.

[Covino]

He wins.

[Danny G]

Chicken dinner. Shane.

[Covino]

And Reading. Nice, by the way. Fourth on that list.

[Dan Byer]

Rich, Talking about Grimace.

[Rich]

Good one, bro.

[Danny G]

Shane, as soon as the shipment, which is Spot, you said it's almost on arrival?

[Covino]

Yeah, it's here.

[Danny G]

Almost. They said it has been shipped, so we are awaiting it. As soon as it arrived. Boxes and boxes of these footballs. We are gonna mail one out to you there in Reading. Thank you for playing the game.

[Covino]

Congrats, man.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Thank you.

[Covino]

Can I do.

[Rich]

Can I do a write in for the last one? When talk show hosts call Anthony Volpe the Volpedo? Can I. Can I. Can I put that one on there?

[Covino]

Great job. Great game. Danny G. Thank you.

[Rich]

Let's go to Dan Byer for an update. DB let's get into the weekend.

[Dan Byer]

Okay, we're headed into the weekend. I'm just going to say this. So Spot was doing it for west in Idaho. And Cavino knows this because I brought this up with him. As I said, six months ago, Monsieur and I were in and Wes sends us this tweet. That is like why are you talking about Lane bleep NBA? And then he tagged Covino in it and was like hey man, just so you know, I turned it off but I showed you some love over on Turbo. So when you brought up worst topic I I'm surprised he didn't pick NBA because he was giving Monty and me flack for it.

[Rich]

Oh interesting.

[Covino]

Danbayer never forgets, never never forgets, never.

[Dan Byer]

Forget holding grudges like we're taking a curve at 95 miles per hour. Let's hold on to those bad boys.

[Covino]

Wes is thinking.

[Rich]

He's like I'm sorry sorry should I.

[Dan Byer]

Never got an apology for it. Former Michigan head coach Moore charged with a felony count of third degree home invasion during a court appearance in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

That is dangerous. Friday brings us weekend hobnob. Yeah, buddy. What to watch in the world of sports and NP entertainment. So you know what's going on come Monday, I'll kick it off. I'm Cavino and I'm a big fight fan and it's not a whole lot this weekend. Next weekend's the Jake Paul fight, right? Yeah. Going to your place on a Friday night? Yeah, Friday night on the tcl. Well, this week, UFC fight night. Tomorrow you got Royville. Brandon Royville versus Cop. That's the flyweight main event. Enjoy some UFC tomorrow night. This is a little self serving, Rich, but I think people will enjoy it. About two, three years ago I did a special about Santa Claus. About Santa. And now it's on Disney Plus. Toys that Built America Season 3. Toys that Built America Season 3. And of course, if you have the History channel on demand.

[Rich]

What do you know about this stuff?

[Covino]

Well, it's season three, episode eight and it's the episode evolution is the history of Santa and the evolution of Christmas. Now I think it's a great watch, but it's for the adults. Okay, it's for the adults. So check that out. The Toys that Built America, season three, the Santa special, Disney plus. And you know, speaking of Christmas time, I think for old school purposes, maybe have the niece and nephew over this weekend and see if they could sit through one of my favorites, Emmett Otter's joke band Christmas. Jim Henson's Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. I was a big fan of the the River Bottom Nightmare Band and of course Little self Serving Rich. But over promised121, our bonus podcast. It's so worth the watch. Rich referenced it before. We didn't know what to expect when we welcomed hall of famer Rock and roll hall of Famer Jimmy Jam to the show. Super producer Jimmy Jamie. But he was fantastic. He's a big sports fan and he had all these cool stories about working with these music legends like Michael Jackson and Prince and Boys to Men and more Jimmy Jam episode 121 over promises right here on our YouTube page. Check it out.

[Rich]

[Rich]

Well, if you got little kids like I do, you got to break out some of the classics. The Frosty, the Charlie Brown Christmas, the Grinch, and one that. That's fun. Not a. Not a show. More of a game show. Is it Cake with Mikey Day? There's a holiday version.

[Covino]

So is Kim Kardashian on the show?

[Rich]

No, that's a different. Is it cakes?

[Covino]

This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, or osa, in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.
