Underrated Movie & Pop Culture Gems

[03:25]–[22:00]

The Waterboy: An Underrated Comedy Classic

• The Waterboy (1998) turns a year older, and C&R argue it’s time the film gets its due alongside Adam Sandler's more recognized hits.
  • Rich salutes Henry Winkler’s role: “To see the relationship between Adam Sandler and Henry Winkler makes me so happy. You saw it in the movie Click. You saw it in Waterboy.” (05:25)
  • Covino riffs on classic lines: “Water sucks. It really, really sucks.” (05:49)
• Notable cameo: Dan Patrick had a role in "That’s My Boy" and is a staple in Sandler’s movies. (20:19)

Vanilla Ice & Hip Hop’s Mainstream Arrival

• Throwback to “Ice Ice Baby” becoming the first rap song to top the Billboard charts.
  • “People have the nerve to clown on Vanilla Ice. That dude changed hip hop, whether you want to believe it or not...” —Rich Davis (06:39)
  • Danny G recalls: “We all ran to get a copy of it. We thought he was Black.” (07:00)
• Vanilla Ice’s Sandler connection: “He’s a main character in ‘That’s My Boy.’” (07:53)

Underrated Comedies: Call-In & Panel Picks

• Role Models: “That goes so far under the radar…” —Covino (09:02)
• Goon: “Sean William Scott—a pretty good movie, no one ever talks about it. It's about the hockey goon.” —Rich (09:54)

• Bedazzled: The Brendan Fraser/Elizabeth Hurley flick gets shout-ins for 1998 gems. (11:33)
• Mr. Destiny: “So underrated. Jim Belushi, baseball, a magical relived moment.” —Rich (12:54)

• I Love You, Man: “Slapping the bass, man!” —panel reminisces about when movies were truly quotable, pre-social media. (14:58–15:16)
• The Great Movie Quote Shift: “People stopped quoting movies the minute social media came about.” —Covino (15:24)

Rapid Fire: What’s Actually Underrated?

• A lively debate over Little Nicky, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (“We took it for granted. Really, really funny.” —Covino, (18:11)) and music shout-outs (“No one brings up Audioslave as their favorite band, but they're phenomenal,” —Covino, (18:56)).
• Listeners nominate films like Legend of Bagger Vance and Youth in Revolt.
• Even destinations: Covino praises Costa Rica as “underrated.” (31:15)

NBA Deep-Dive: To LeBron or Not to LeBron?

[32:50]–[37:51]

Hot Topic: Luka’s Lakers vs. LeBron’s Return

Luka Doncic Lighting Up The League

• Luka has led the Lakers (in this radio-universe’s alternate timeline, Dallas Mavs achievements are credited to Lakers, for bit’s sake):
  • “Five in a row, 40 PPG, making everyone around him look like a superstar…” —Rich (33:00)
  • “The speculation is Luka’s game is best when he’s in full control. Maybe you just build around Luka…” (25:03/33:03)
• Covino: “Do they even want LeBron James back?” (24:59)
  • Charles Barkley-type voices in the NBA world are suggesting LeBron should retire rather than mess with the team’s synergy.

Is Chemistry Greater Than Legacy?

• Rich: “Like a guy like LeBron only messes up that chemistry…” (25:03)
• Danny G: “Austin Reaves is also off to the best start of his career… now you’re talking too many cooks in the kitchen.” (35:10)
• Monty: “Lakers right now are moving fast. You put [LeBron] on the court, that is not going to be… it’s going to way slow it down…” (39:07)

Counterpoint: The Case for LeBron

• Covino: “That is absurd. … LeBron’s still a guy that could put up triple doubles and put up 25 to 30 a game. So he’s not done.” (36:22)
• “It’s like you could date a good looking girl… but she just might not be right for Steve Covino.” (36:33)
• Danny G: “I think the difference this season is the Lakers have the best bench they’ve had in a long time.” (36:35)

The Middle Ground

• “The answer may lie in between… maybe with the current Lakers team, LeBron just doesn’t fit anymore. Maybe that’s the answer.” —Covino (35:10)

Big Question to Listeners

• “Is this crazy talk? Or does LeBron make every team better?” —Rich (37:04)
• What if “LeBron steps in and what’s already clicking clicks even more?” —Covino (37:11)
• [Callers invited to join, 877-99-FOX]

• “Any Judd Apatow film starts out really good and then it meanders.” —Covino on Pineapple Express and similar movies (21:49)

When you think work, you think boots. You think boots, you think areat, you think grit, concrete, rain and heat and boots that never back down from any of it. You think comfort and durability that hold up on the job, off the clock and every step in between because the day doesn't end when the job does. And from overtime to off duty, you're thinking Ariat boots. Boots that show up, stand out and always back you up. Now it's time to stop thinking and start shopping.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I would say those are clearly most people's top three.

[Rich Davis]

And here's another little reason I should say as to why I love Sidebar. There you go. Thank you, Danny G. As to why I love the Water Boy. And that's Henry Winkler's involved.

[Steve Covino]

Hi.

[Rich Davis]

Hi, Hi. Hi, Coach Klein.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Hi.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I love Adam High.

[Steve Covino]

One of the best dudes we've ever met.

[Rich Davis]

He just turned 80.

[Steve Covino]

To see the relationship between Adam Sandler and Henry Winkler makes me so happy. You saw it in the movie. Click. You saw it in Waterboy. I find their friendship fantastic.

[Rich Davis]

I love the throwback scenes when, you know, he was in the 70s and remember he had the big afro and the whole story of the playbook. And dude, there's so many fun storyboards. Yeah, there's so many fun moments. And remember, water sucks.

[Steve Covino]

It really, really sucks. That was against Iowa. Hawkeyes. That was against Iowa.

[Rich Davis]

There's so many moments and reasons to really love that movie, but we sort of overlook it. So we asked this question on a Throwback Thursday.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, and my boy Joe Montana gets a shout out.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

In the movie, if you remember.

[Rich Davis]

Best tackler I've seen since Joe Montana. What are some other.

[Steve Covino]

Joe Montana was a quarterback, you idiot.

[Rich Davis]

Who are some other underrated.

[Steve Covino]

I said Joe Montana.

[Rich Davis]

Underrated comedies. I said Joe Montana shows, maybe even music. Because on this day, Danny G. Was talking about that. Sidebar.

[Steve Covino]

Get this.

[Rich Davis]

This week, 30 years ago, this week, 30 years ago, 30 years ago, a song was released and it became the the first ever rap song to reach number one on the Billboard charts.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, vip.

[Rich Davis]

And people have the nerve to clown on Vanilla Ice. That dude changed hip hop, whether you want to believe it or not, Ripley style. Whether you want to give him the credit or not. You can't take away from the fact that that dude had everybody doing the Running man and everybody rapping that song. I knew two words to every song, and that was Happy Birthday and Ice.

[Danny G]

Ice baby when this came first, dropped in Mick shows and on the radio. We all ran to get a copy of it. We thought he was black.

[Rich Davis]

We didn't know, nobody knew.

[Danny G]

And then it turned out he lied about where he was from and all that. I think that's why. Yeah, that's why he gets a lot of backlash to this day.

[Rich Davis]

First rap song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Ice, Ice, Baby. Vanilla Ice. 1990, November 3rd. All those years ago. So, you know, based on that and based on Water Boys Anniversary, just underrated comedies. Underrated things that come to mind for you.

[Steve Covino]

Well, if you want to tie it all together. Robert Van Winkle, Vanilla Ice has starred in Adam Sandler movies.

[Rich Davis]

Robbie Van Winkle, bro to the extreme. He rocks the mic like a vandal.

[Steve Covino]

I was Sammy trying to think of which one.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I know which one. Grown Ups. Doesn't he work the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

[Steve Covino]

He might have been in that one, but I'm thinking of the one with where the Sandman got his teacher pregnant and Andy Sandberg's his kid. And Vanilla Ice Like a main character in that one.

[Rich Davis]

Doesn't him and Colin Quinn have a scene?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, what that is called. And you know who's in that also? Milo Ventimiglia.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, yeah, I know I could picture it, but I got.

[Steve Covino]

That is all grown up. No, that isn't that.

[Rich Davis]

That's my boy. That's my boy.

[Steve Covino]

That's my boy.

[Rich Davis]

So Water Boy, Water Boy, Bobby Boucher. Foosballs. The Devil. Underrated.

[Steve Covino]

Tackling fuel.

[Rich Davis]

What else are we adding to the list? Let's talk about it.

[Steve Covino]

Hell, I'm going to add that one. That's My Boy was watchable for sure.

[Rich Davis]

I thought you could say Role Models because you often do. I have these conversations with Rich often. He loves to bring up role models. All the comedies. Because a good comedy. They say comedies haven't really been the same since the Wedding Crashers super bad era. Those were some of the last great comedies of our life.

[Steve Covino]

But they got credit. You know what didn't get credit? Sean William Scott, Paul Rudd. It was fantastic. That cute little black kid that was always.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, dude was funny. You know, he's a grown up now.

[Steve Covino]

Jane lynch was in that. Like that to me was a fantastic movie. If you've never seen Role Models that goes so far under the radar, you know who else is in that? Is his name. Ken Marino from Eastbound and Down. Remember he was the dad that was disappointed in his son.

[Rich Davis]

I haven't seen it in a minute, so. No, I don't. I'm not going to lie. But you know what? I could say yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Well, McLovin played the son.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Monty Bolanos]

For a second I thought Role Models was the one with Adam Sandler.

[Steve Covino]

What is that one?

[Monty Bolanos]

I literally just looked up Role Models because I thought it was a different one. What's that Adam Sandler movie with adults?

[Rich Davis]

Grown ups. Grownups.

[Monty Bolanos]

Grownups.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Monty Bolanos]

That's what I thought you were talking about.

[Rich Davis]

No, those are. Those are pretty raving.

[Steve Covino]

If you've never seen Role Models, Monsieur, honestly, it's like really?

[Monty Bolanos]

No, I've seen it now, but it's been since it came out.

[Rich Davis]

You know what movie? I think it's a sports movie that I think is underrated because nobody talks about it and it's a comedy, but there's some serious undertones. Goon with Sean William Scott.

[Steve Covino]

It's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

I thought that was a pretty good movie. No one ever talks about it. It's about the hockey goon. You know, he's a hockey player. It's kind of funny.

[Steve Covino]

I think we're just fans of Sean Williams. Scott, good guy. All right, let's say hi to David in Missouri. David, when we, when we say underrated movies and even comedies, what comes to mind for you? Hey, guys, thanks for taking the call. No problem. I got two quick ones. The first one, it just got removed from Netflix and I hear. I never hear anybody talk about it, but it's Wet Hot American Summer. I laugh throughout every time. I always see it, but I never clicked on it. Maybe I will now. Okay, second one I saw about 30 years ago. It was on skin and Max called 90 and Naughty.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, sounds hot.

[Steve Covino]

You say 90 and naughty. I've seen Wet Hot American Summer. That is very funny.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not. I don't know about that. Second one I like. First guy you talked about. It was great. Wet Hot American Summer.

[Steve Covino]

Really funny, really good cast. Really? Which one are you talking about? Wet Hot American. Yeah, you like that? Yeah, yeah, I like that one.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's like.

[Steve Covino]

Is it a little. I feel like you like, like artsy comedies. Like you probably think it. It's just, it's, it's, you know, it's got a great cast. Paul Rose, like I was saying, I feel like Law and Order.

[Rich Davis]

Bradley Cooper's in it. I feel like you're smart humor.

[Steve Covino]

You're cut from a Michael Ceracloth. It depends. It depends. It depends which I find funny. All right, let's go to Josh in Ohio.

[Rich Davis]

Does that like. Like a polyester?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, like a. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

All right, who do we got?

[Steve Covino]

That's Josh.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Josh, you're on the show. Hey, guys.

[Steve Covino]

Happy Thursday. The same year 98. It was a great year for comedies.

[Rich Davis]

But Brendan Fraser sold his soul to.

[Steve Covino]

A hot Elizabeth Hurley and became an eight foot basketball player. But with not all his equipment.

[Rich Davis]

In the movie Bedazzled, the scene where he sees son and he's. Or when he's the Spanish guy. That whole movie is really funny.

[Steve Covino]

You guys always joke about when he starts crying.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. And on a side note, it's been announced he's going to do a mummy. He's going to do another mummy movie. Mummy for yeah.

[Steve Covino]

With Rachel White.

[Rich Davis]

So there's a nice little comeback for him. But yeah, Dazzled's really funny. I agree with you. That's a really funny underrated movie.

[Steve Covino]

There's a movie that I think is fantastic. I'm gonna throw it out there. And by the way, I have a rule on this topic. The movie has to be known by some. You can't be like, well, there's this independent movie. I'm telling you, I don't care. Never gonna watch it. I'm talking about movies. We know that. It's like, you know what?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it is good, but no one really talks about it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Cavino can mock me all he wants. There's a movie from the spot. I know. You know, late 80s, early 90s. Jim Belushi, he's a baseball player that strikes out in a big game, and he goes to a bar, has a drink, and he does the whole, like, man, I wish I could relive that over. And he wakes up and he had hit the home run. I thought this was your Mr. Destiny.

[Rich Davis]

Haven't seen it forever.

[Steve Covino]

Mr. Destiny is so underrated.

[Rich Davis]

Is it really, though? I haven't seen it in a minute.

[Steve Covino]

John Lovitz is in it.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, that's the ticket spot.

[Steve Covino]

Do you not like Mr. Destiny? Feel like you're gonna be right there with me?

[Rich Davis]

So music, TV, movies I've seen.

[Steve Covino]

Mr. Destiny was one of my favorite movies as a kid. So he goes to that bar and they give him, like, that secret, like, milky kind of cocktail drink. I haven't seen that movie in 25 years.

[Rich Davis]

Probably.

[Steve Covino]

Is that Michael Caine that gives him that? Yeah, he's like. I think he's like the sort of the spiritual liaison who kind of appears and then. But then he gets a life where he hit the home run. And then his life just started building further and further. But then when he. I don't want to give it away, but when he lives his new life, he finds that it's not quite what he married. He married. Married a different woman. The cast in that movie is incredible, too.

[Rich Davis]

You made me think of two movies. Just while he was yapping there, he made me think of two movies that are great that no one talks about. Family man with Nicolas Cage again, it's about a different destiny.

[Danny G]

We talk about that during the Christmas season.

[Rich Davis]

It's so good. Nobody talks about that movie. And I actually got two more. Frequency with Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid. Great movie. And I had one more and I forgot it, but I'll get back to you.

[Steve Covino]

No, Caviezel and Quaid's a good one. That was. That was when he talks.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I got it.

[Steve Covino]

He talks to his dad on a CB in 1969 from the future. That's a really good movie.

[Rich Davis]

Sometimes things get lost in the mix because there's a bigger name or bigger movie and it gets overshadowed. The Sixth Sense came out and it got all the buzz because of the Twist. And what a great movie it was.

[Steve Covino]

He was dead the whole time.

[Rich Davis]

But there was another movie. I think it was called Stir of Echoes. Kevin Bacon. There's a Kevin Bacon movie called Stir of Echoes that is fantastic. And nobody talks about it because everyone was talking about Sixth Sense.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I agree with you.

[Rich Davis]

Definition of underrated. It got Sixth Sense, got all the press. No one talked about Stare Veckos. Great movie. Underrated.

[Danny G]

Back to Paul Rudd for a second. I was answering the studio line. So I don't know if you guys mentioned. I love you, man.

[Steve Covino]

Good movie.

[Rich Davis]

Slap at a base, dude, you know, so funny. That is, in my world and in my life, the last movie that I heard this idiot and Spot come into work one day and you were quoting it like. Like. And I was. I was not in on the joke.

[Danny G]

That's crazy.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Slapping the bass, man. I'm slapp.

[Steve Covino]

Happened to me. That was a good movie because we.

[Rich Davis]

We are no longer in that, like, quotable movie era that we were living in. That was the last one I heard this guy quote.

[Steve Covino]

And what year was that? What year was that? It had to be mid 2000s because we've done our homework and social media killed the movie. Quote, people stopped quoting movies the minute social media came about. It just. It didn't happen anymore.

[Rich Davis]

2009, man.

[Steve Covino]

So Lou Ferrigno was in that movie, right?

[Rich Davis]

Underrated. Sorry. Lou Ferrigno. Yeah. Underrated movies based on the waterboy came out on this day in 1990. And of course, like we said, we don't think Vanilla Ice gets the credit he really deserves. He became, you know, someone people sort of laughed at a little bit, when in reality, he put rap on the mainstream and number one on the charts this week, Coincidentally, ironically, this is the first time since 1990 that a rap song hasn't been on the charts. So we need a little Vanilla Ice.

[Danny G]

Love him or hate him, he was a big part of rap history.

[Steve Covino]

Yep. That's the truth. Kyle in Vegas. What's up, Kyle? Kyle.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, guys. I got two of them.

[Steve Covino]

Really quick.

[Rich Davis]

Cop out. Tracy Morgan. Bruce Willis.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's a really. That's.

[Rich Davis]

That's.

[Steve Covino]

That's a movie no one talks about, but it's so watchable. You're right. It really. Honestly, Tracy Morgan. How do you not love Tracy Morgan? It's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

And the other one is little Nikki.

[Steve Covino]

And then I have one really quick for your last segment, when y' all talking about coaches making culture changes.

[Rich Davis]

Doug Collins and getting fired for Phil Jackson. Yeah, yeah. That's A good one, by the way.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

I'll just say, I don't know about the Little Nicky one. Unless I have to give it another shot. I like Harvey Keitel. We love Adam Sandler, but I remember watching that and really just not liking it. Well, it's bizarre.

[Steve Covino]

Listen, there's movies, and you could call me out and be like, yo, dude, that's definitely rated. So. Because I don't. You don't want to bring up a movie and be like, it's owned rated. And everyone else in the room's like, no, it's. It's pretty rated, properly rated. You can't be like. Like, hey, TV show that's underrated.

[Rich Davis]

Breaking Bad.

[Steve Covino]

No, it's. It's rated. Like, do you guys think enough people think forgetting Sarah Marshall is as good as it is? I watched that with Kavino recently.

[Danny G]

That's a great one.

[Steve Covino]

Because I don't think anyone. You talk about your favorite comedies.

[Rich Davis]

Not to mention. Right.

[Steve Covino]

That's what she does.

[Monty Bolanos]

A little British action accent to like. Oh, yeah. I did not love that movie.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not even a big Mila Kunis fan, but she was looking. Dino might in that movie.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Mila Kunis. And I like Kristen Bell and Russell Crowe and Jason Siegel. I just think that we took it.

[Rich Davis]

For granted back then.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I think it's underrated. Because when you talk about your favorite 2000s movies. Russell Brand, by the way, what I say Russell Crowe.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, in my mind.

[Steve Covino]

In my mind, Russell Crowe's in that. Russell Brand.

[Rich Davis]

Are you not entertained?

[Steve Covino]

So when you talk about 2000s comedies, people will say, you know, Wedding Crashers and Super Bad and the Hangover. We name the same one. So I think if it's not in that. But they always get named.

[Rich Davis]

I think we took that one for granted. And you watch it back now, and it's really, really funny. I actually enjoyed it. I watched it with Rich recently, and I was like, yeah, this is way better than I remember. I feel that way about a band, actually. And it's a band that's rated. But I think they're very underrated. And I think because we took them for granted, there were a super group. So people are like, yeah, whatever, super group. But I wish we had more Audio Slave. If you're a rock fan, the thought of Rage against the Machine teaming up with Chris Cornell, when you listen back and you hear their songs now, you're like, man, I don't know. We cared as much as we should have, because they are that good. They were that awesome. But no one brings up Audioslave as their favorite band. But they're phenomenal. So underrated, waterboy style. Who else do we got?

[Steve Covino]

Paul. Or maybe Paul. I'll call him Powell. In Orlando, it's Raul, so why not Powell? That's what I'm saying. Yeah. What's up, Paul?

[Rich Davis]

It's Paul. One little comment about Adam Sandler. He wasn't playing a water boy.

[Steve Covino]

He was a hydration engineer. That's right. I'm sorry, my bad. And secondly, here's the movie, underrated.

[Rich Davis]

The Legend of Bagger Vance with Redford Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron. And hey, Muncie.

[Steve Covino]

Speaking of Will Smith. Let's go, Dodgers. There you go. My daughter loves Will Smith because she's also number 16. And that's our lucky number. So she likes Will Smith. Did he call you Muncie? Like Max Muncie?

[Monty Bolanos]

I wasn't sure if he was talking to me or he was talking about Max Muncie, who did a lot of.

[Steve Covino]

His Max Muncie bolognas. I'm going to call you Muncie from now on.

[Rich Davis]

Muncie Bolognas.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, there she has Muncie.

[Monty Bolanos]

I may listen to you, I may not.

[Steve Covino]

It's like the How I Met yout Mother episode where they wrote the wrong name on Barney's coffee and all his friends called him that name, like Schwarzly. I'm gonna call you Muncie from now.

[Danny G]

And the Dodgers re signed Muncie.

[Monty Bolanos]

That's right. Yeah, they picked up his option.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that was in your update, Muncie. All right, let's go to Joe. Joe, you're on the show.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, buddy. Hey, guys.

[Steve Covino]

I listen to you all the time.

[Rich Davis]

You guys are great. Crack me up every time. Thank you, man. You're talking about, that's my boy. And I love that. That scene where Dan Patrick is playing.

[Steve Covino]

That cheesy daytime drama host, you know.

[Rich Davis]

And he gets paid to come in there and talk about it.

[Steve Covino]

But Dan, I forgot. That's right. DP's in a lot of Sandler movies, but he's prominent in that one. Dan Patrick is prominent in that. My boy. Can I share a quick trivia fact about the waterboy?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So our very own levar Arrington was the inspiration for the linebacker he plays. You remember he jumps over the line to sack the quarterback. Yeah. Adam Sandler and lavar Arrington spent time together while preparing for the role. So he was the. He was the, like the way the guy that Bobby Boucher played at linebacker. Levar Arrington was the inspiration for that. Are you saying we're the only hosts here that don't hang out with Adam Sandler?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, we got.

[Steve Covino]

Sounds like it.

[Rich Davis]

We have to change this right away. And it's kind of cool, though.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

Like, Lavar.

[Rich Davis]

It's ironic. I saw Rich at the gym yesterday, and he wears Adam Sandler, like, mesh shorts to the gym.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, like big, baggy shorts.

[Rich Davis]

You did. I'm like, where'd you get those from the Adam Sandler collection.

[Danny G]

I got one from 2008, and I think it's one of Tom Cruise's best roles ever in Tropic Thunder with Robert Downey Jr. Now, a lot of the humor in that movie could not be replicated right now in 2025.

[Rich Davis]

Definitely not. Definitely not. Such a funny.

[Danny G]

Such a funny movie.

[Steve Covino]

But it was great, though, honestly.

[Rich Davis]

It's Danny McBride.

[Steve Covino]

I thought we were supposed to be a unit.

[Monty Bolanos]

Speaking of Danny McBride, Pineapple Express.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, is that what I'm. I think. Oh, yeah, that's.

[Monty Bolanos]

I feel like I love that movie.

[Danny G]

And I feel like.

[Steve Covino]

Did it.

[Rich Davis]

I did not think that.

[Monty Bolanos]

I loved Pineapple. Exclusive.

[Steve Covino]

Any Judd Apatow film starts out really good and then it meanders. All right.

[Rich Davis]

Just end this movie. Well, we're getting a lot of phone calls and we appreciate it. So if we don't get to you remember, hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.

[Steve Covino]

I got one that encompasses the two things we love most.

[Rich Davis]

Go ahead.

[Steve Covino]

Football and radio. Cuba Gooding Jr. In radio. No one ever puts that on their list of like, yo, that's a great movie. He plays the special needs dude that hangs around the football guys. They sort of take him in. It's heartfelt. Like, that's a hell of a movie.

[Rich Davis]

It is a good movie.

[Monty Bolanos]

People don't want to watch heartfelt things that are gonna make them sad over and over.

[Steve Covino]

I like the crowd.

[Monty Bolanos]

It's like the Notebook. I've seen it done. Don't wanna watch it again.

[Rich Davis]

One and done with Muji.

[Steve Covino]

One and done for me on the Notebook.

[Monty Bolanos]

Exactly.

[Rich Davis]

I gotta. I'm gonna take it back to sports real quick. Big here's an obvious one, but it's one of the most underrated World Series champions that I watched day in, day out growing up that not enough people give credit to because, I don't know, he just didn't play a sexy game, I guess. Burnaby Bernie Williams. Burn, baby, burn. Like this, dude. You look at his stats, you'd kill for those stats and the way he played and the Way he carried himself as a Yankee. Multi talented guy, switch hitter, plays guitar at Carnegie hall just like he. That dude is a treasure. I just think as a dude, he's underrated.

[Steve Covino]

I just think he got a crush on Bernie Williams.

[Rich Davis]

I just think he's a great guy and he was a great Yankee. I don't. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves.

[Steve Covino]

Bernie Williams, he's definitely one of those guys that just. He just happened to play on a team with other bigger stars, superstars, and.

[Rich Davis]

He was like a, you know, a mild mannered sort of dude. I don't think he gets that credit that he deserves.

[Steve Covino]

All right, on the anniversary of Waterboy, let's take one more for now and then we'll come back and we'll talk some NBA, some NFL as we get into week 10. Wrap it up. Virgil in Phoenix. What's up, my dude? Hey, how's it going, guys?

[Rich Davis]

Hey, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

Hey. So I got a good underrated comedy, one of my favorites. Michael Sarah, youth in Rebowl.

[Rich Davis]

Never saw it.

[Steve Covino]

Never see. Yeah, I haven't seen it, so.

[Rich Davis]

Never seen it. So. Hey, maybe you're right. Maybe it's not rated at all. We got to check it out.

[Steve Covino]

I've not even heard of that film.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, maybe you're lying to us, but thank you very much for all the phone calls, but we gotta move on. We gotta move on. And we'll get all your feedback at covinoenrich now. Want you guys to start thinking some NBA. Yeah, I know we're still on a baseball high. And you got your Thursday night foosball and football week 10 already. Geez Louise.

[Steve Covino]

There you go quoting Waterboy again. Foosball.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, see quote. I quote water boy every day. The Lakers are playing pretty solid. We saw them beat the spurs yesterday, five in a row. Luca, slim and trim and playing maestro, playing big. Do they even want LeBron James back? And then you got guys like Charles Barkley saying, like, he should just retire. Like, when you're getting old that way and you're struggling with your health, like, maybe that's when you call it quits.

[Steve Covino]

There's two reasons why you're out of your mind. I'm going to tell you though, I'm saving it.

[Rich Davis]

The speculation is Luca's game is best when he's in full control. Danny, Geo back you up. And the speculation is maybe you just build around Luca because they're playing like fire right now. Like a guy like LeBron only messes up that chemistry that they're building. We all know he's the goat. We know how great he is, but it might take away from Luca's game.

[Steve Covino]

That is absurd. And I'll explain why. I have two well, that's the debate. Two main reasons why you're out of your mind. And I'll tell you what those are next right here, Covino and Rich.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arnaz, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama. And yes, I grew up watching him. Probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From cleaning canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you on a journey through destination, his life, the moments it has overlapped with mine. How he redefined American television and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like ours on screen. This is the story of how one man spotlight lit the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today.

She said Johnny the kids didn't come home last night.

[Danny G]

Along the Central Texas plains, teens are dying. Suicides that don't make sense.

[Steve Covino]

Strange accidents and brutal murders in what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people.

[Monty Bolanos]

There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.

[Steve Covino]

Listen to Paper Ghosts, the Texas Teen murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts on the podcast. Health stuff. We are tackling all the health questions.

[Rich Davis]

That keep you up at night.

[Steve Covino]

Yes, I'm Dr. Priyanka Walley, a double board certified physician.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm Hari Kondabolu, a comedian and someone who once googled do I have.

[Steve Covino]

Scurvy at 3am on health stuff, we're talking about health in a different way. It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes in the United states. I mean 50% of Americans are pre diabetic. How preventable is type 2?

[Rich Davis]

Extremely.

[Steve Covino]

Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that like your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible.

[Rich Davis]

But like you don't even know.

[Steve Covino]

You don't know, you don't know. It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in. Listen to health stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

The Rich Russians falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, the window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

[Rich Davis]

We gotta move on. We gotta move on. So much feedback and we appreciate it, but we gotta move on. Cavino and Rich throwing it back on a Thursday old school and 50 hits.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, but you can always hit us up. I mean it's not like we're unaccessible. We're, we're there. Scrolling with you at Covino and Rich at Rich Davis at Steve Cavino. If you want to throw in some of those underrated movies in honor of Waterboy.

[Steve Covino]

I'm going to hang with Sam.

[Rich Davis]

I'm going to hang with.

[Steve Covino]

I would say I'm on Electric Avenue.

[Rich Davis]

I love it.

[Steve Covino]

Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

Those are all great places to go. Hey, speaking of, I got an underrated place to go. It's very rated for some people, like Monte Bolanos, but where I come from, being a half breed, Vato Loco forever. Yeah. Everybody loves to talk about Mexico and Mexico, great culture. My mom's from there. Nothing bad about it. I love it. But it seems to be like your go to destination. Like, yeah, man. Going to Cabo, going to Mexico, going.

[Steve Covino]

To Cancun, going to Riviera, Mayo.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, I went to Costa Rica, where Monty's family's from. My goodness.

[Steve Covino]

Didn't you stay with her, Abuelita?

[Rich Davis]

No, but of course it's rated. I'm not saying, but I had never gone. I feel like it's not marketed enough. And maybe that's the beauty of it, because my. I wanted to be Costa Rican. I loved every moment of it. I feel like as rated and beautiful as it is underrated. Not enough people talk about it.

[Monty Bolanos]

And you know what's crazy is 10 years ago, it was a hole in the wall, which was even better because now I disagree. Now I think everybody goes to Costa Rica.

[Steve Covino]

My wife wants to go to Costa Rica simply for. There's a sloth sanctuary.

[Rich Davis]

And I went.

[Monty Bolanos]

So there's a few sloth sanctuaries that are actually not good. I wonder which one you went to. And then there's some that are actually good, some are not.

[Rich Davis]

It's all the one where the guy was like, baby, touching it and giving it to you.

[Steve Covino]

No, no.

[Rich Davis]

He was like. He was like, hey, you guys.

[Steve Covino]

Wrong sloth sanctuary.

[Rich Davis]

But I came back like, pura vida, bro. So underrate. There's. There's destinations that are also very underrated.

[Steve Covino]

Saying, stay out of our country.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Monty Bolanos]

It's too late.

[Steve Covino]

That's what I was saying.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

It's too late.

[Steve Covino]

It's Too late.

[Rich Davis]

Well, thank you, guys, for hanging out with us. We're talking Luca now, and the story is, yo, he's playing big. Like, this is Luca at his best.

[Steve Covino]

He came in focused.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you some of these stats here that'll make you say, whoa, five in a row, 40 points per game, making everyone around him look like a superstar. 40 points per game in comparison to Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg combined, 35.2 points per game. So that's perspective, right? And they're playing well. He's sort of leading the team, and that's when he's at his best. And they're saying that when LeBron gets in, now, you got too many cooks in the kitchen.

[Steve Covino]

Well, I mean, and then, you know, Reeves hasn't played every game, but when he's in there, he's on fire. So, like, this team has something going on.

[Danny G]

Also, Luca has made DeAndre Ayton very.

[Steve Covino]

Good this season, who, by the way, was a piece that you and other Laker fans are saying, could he be that big guy they need, and will he fit in?

[Danny G]

And apparently in the bigs, love getting those passes from. From Luca Slob city with him.

[Steve Covino]

So Kavito's question is, do you even want LeBron back? And I'm just going to quote Steve Kavino, the guy sitting next to me.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, no, no. Hold on. Don't kill the messenger. I'm saying this is the question that. That can only be posed based on what's happening right now. And you do hear that buzz, and you do hear that speculation. It's like, if they're playing this well, it's like, now you're messing with the chemistry all over again. Like, let them win. Let them keep on winning.

[Steve Covino]

Dare I quote you from a different circumstance?

[Rich Davis]

Sure, sure.

[Steve Covino]

I'll do my best.

[Rich Davis]

Kavino, voice oh, boy.

[Steve Covino]

This is before the World Series. Yo, bro. Dude, bro. Can I show one more dude or bro in there?

[Rich Davis]

I know it's going to be bro.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, if I'm. If I'm the Blue Jays, bro, I don't even know if you bring Boba Shet back. Like, I mean, he might mess with the chemistry, bro.

[Rich Davis]

What he did is sort of unheard of, unprecedented. He stepped right in. Like, he didn't miss a beat.

[Steve Covino]

But you debated whether or not the Blue Jays should mess with that because.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, he hadn't played in so long, right? Not that he isn't good. No one's questioning LeBron being good, but maybe they're just better without him right now. That's all.

[Danny G]

I think the other thing worth mentioning is Austin Reaves is also off to the best start of his career. And then throw in Jake Laravia, who was a great off season pickup. And you, now you're talking. Too many cooks in the kitchen. These are guys that need the ball in their hands.

[Steve Covino]

The answer may lie in between everything we're saying. Like I. There's a little. There's a little place in between all of our points that I think makes the most sense, which is LeBron's not done. But much like in dating jobs situations, you might be awesome, you might just not really be awesome for that scenario. And maybe with the Current Lakers team, LeBron just doesn't fit anymore. Maybe that's the answer because by no means is anyone saying LeBron James willing.

[Rich Davis]

To take a little bit of a step back, which could be good for everybody, and let Luca really lead a little more so that he could still play like luka and use LeBron as an option. You know what I mean?

[Steve Covino]

I just don't know if he's capable of that. But I just, I think LeBron certainly not done LeBron would be such an asset somewhere else. So maybe. I know the only thing that makes sense is maybe you get something from. I don't know how that would even work at this point. But LeBron James, LeBron would have to approve. Yeah, he'd have to make it work.

[Rich Davis]

But by the way, you were shooting a messenger, you were shooting at me before. Don't think that there's not a lot of speculation of that on social media and online. That's where the buzz starts. There are a lot of people saying that, like, maybe that's a possibility.

[Steve Covino]

I get it. But LeBron's still a guy that could put up triple doubles and put up 25 to 30 a game. So he's not done. I just wonder. It's like you could date a good looking girl, Kavino, but she just might not be right for Steve Cavino.

[Rich Davis]

True.

[Steve Covino]

You know, it's like. So let's keep that in mind.

[Danny G]

I think the difference this season so far from what we saw at the end of last year is the Lakers have the best bench they've had in a long time.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, they were. That bench was meager, like Bob Seeger for sure.

[Rich Davis]

And no.

[Danny G]

And you know, besides Jackson Hayes, no real big guys to mention. But, you know, you got to think about how last season ended. Luca and LeBron do play well together, but it's just the other pieces like Austin Reeves and Laravia as I mentioned where you got to figure out how this all fits together.

[Rich Davis]

Is this crazy talk 877-99-NOx or LeBron makes every team better?

[Steve Covino]

Well, that's.

[Rich Davis]

That's really the question.

[Steve Covino]

Tire the whole conversation together and the whole show together. Let's go back to our first conversation about people we owe an apology. We're talking about maybe LeBron needs to go. Imagine LeBron gets healthy, steps in on this team, and they are so dominant that they win the NBA title. LeBron retires, and it's like, can you believe people were saying we should get rid of him? Like that could very, like, imagine if LeBron steps in and what's already clicking clicks even more.

[Danny G]

This is like. It would be like, Dave Roberts should be fired.

[Steve Covino]

Got to fire Dave Roberts and he wins in another World Series. So, I mean, again, it all goes with the patience. It goes with the relax. So we'll. We'll see. But it should be interesting when LeBron does come back.

[Rich Davis]

Your thoughts? Because basketball, I mean, it has been really exciting, even though we've been flooded with great baseball and football. 877-99-FOX. So if you haven't been tuning into the Lakers, I think now's the time. And actually it's time for Monty Bolanos. Or as Rich calls you, Muncie. Hey, Muncie. Bologna.

[Steve Covino]

Muncie.

[Rich Davis]

I know the.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, it's still early. 3 and 4 for your Clippers excitement for you, or you feel like there's a. There's some potential this year or what?

[Monty Bolanos]

I mean, I feel like we're figuring things out. Like, there's almost too many cooks in the kitchen, and some of the cooks are old, and we're just trying to figure out the best way forward because there is talent there. And they looked good. And then James Harden has been on fire, but they can't win. But I just. I feel like they're still figuring out the rotation, how much to use John Collins and all of that. How much to use CP3 off the bench.

[Rich Davis]

But.

[Monty Bolanos]

But we have a. I think a good team.

[Steve Covino]

Did you see CP3 at the Love is Blind reunion?

[Monty Bolanos]

I did. I was like, what are you doing here? What are you doing here?

[Wilmer Valderrama]

He was actually.

[Steve Covino]

He was funny, Danny.

[Rich Davis]

I thought he was, like, charming.

[Danny G]

He was Monty. That was pretty much everyone's sentiment watching, like, what is happening right now?

[Steve Covino]

Wait, they're still shooting. They're still.

[Monty Bolanos]

Yeah, it was very weird.

[Danny G]

And suddenly it was a shoot off for the ring.

[Monty Bolanos]

That was even more awkward. The entire thing was so awkward. It will be awkward when LeBron James returns to the Lakers because I also think Danj Lakers right now are moving fast. You put him on the court, that is not going to be. It's going to way slow it down because LeBron is going to demand the ball in his hands. So I don't know, I don't know how it's going to work. Says Laker hater. I love it so much. There's one game today in the NBA. It's the Clippers and the Suns in Phoenix. No James Harden for personal reasons, no Kawhi Leonard because of his ankle injury. But Bradley Beal will play in his return to Phoenix. When it comes to the NFL, week 10 starts tonight. It's going to be the Broncos and the Raiders. That's going to kick off at 8:15 Eastern Time. Eagles wide receiver A.J. brown and running back Saquon Barkley were both full part full participants at practice today. But I got some news for you, Rich, about Brock Purdy. Okay, so today Kyle Shanahan speaking to knbr, he said that Brock Purdy is getting closer to returning. They're going to make a decision tomorrow, Friday whether or not he's going to suit up for Sunday against the Rams. Ricky Pearsall, it doesn't look like he practiced again today.

[Steve Covino]

All right, well, you know what, I'm not saying the Rams is a gimme game, meaning like I do think the Rams win this game. Yeah. But it's in the Bay Area and the Niners. And the Niners play real well against Rams.

[Rich Davis]

Right.

[Monty Bolanos]

It's like a coaching thing.

[Steve Covino]

Like Kyle Shanahan coaches well against McVay.

[Monty Bolanos]

Exactly.

[Steve Covino]

And then the next week, Covino and I will be at the game when the Niners go to Arizona. And it looks like maybe Pearsall and Purdy are back for that. So we get to see Brock at least Kof.

[Monty Bolanos]

So there you go.

[Steve Covino]

We were there for his first game ever.

[Rich Davis]

We were.

[Monty Bolanos]

Oh, so that would be the good luck charm.

[Steve Covino]

Cavino and I were on a guys trip and that was when Garoppolo got hurt. I remember everyone in the crowd's like, who is this Brock Purdy? Never in a million years in that moment would I have thought, oh yeah, this Guy's gonna make $50 million a year in the future.

[Monty Bolanos]

Your future quarterback.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

That's crazy.

[Monty Bolanos]

I know you guys were at that.

[Rich Davis]

Time and Garoppolo was never the same.

[Steve Covino]

And you know what, when you're at the game, you don't know what happens. Compared to watching on tv totally so we're like, is is like Jimmy G coming back in the game, like what's happening? And the beginning of Rock Party.

[Rich Davis]

The best part of that game was I was sitting next to this Latina lady.

[Steve Covino]

Oh yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And she was feeding me. I'm not even joking. Hi, papa. Come here, chulo. Want some churros?

[Steve Covino]

She thought Kavino was cute and she was flirting with and kept buying him treats.

[Monty Bolanos]

I love that.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. She was a sugar mama for the game.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

[Steve Covino]

And another churro. Mama, you gave me a hot dog too.

[Monty Bolanos]

Was she older? No.

[Rich Davis]

Not really. No. No. Okay.

[Steve Covino]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Steve Covino]

Kavina, Dare I say, is it insulting if I say a little bit of a torta, as they say in the in la?

[Rich Davis]

That's exactly what it. Still haven't figured out if that's derogatory or not. I don't know, it just means big sandwich. Really? That's all it means.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like that's a word.

[Danny G]

I hear tortas are delicious.

[Rich Davis]

It might be a term of a deer.

[Monty Bolanos]

Tortas are. I don't know if it's a term if you called me a torta, but.

[Danny G]

Isn'T it a great sandwich though?

[Rich Davis]

Mostly it is so good. But to be honest, he couldn't be more accurate. That's exactly what it was. And I reaped all the benefits.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know if I said anything wrong. Hey, we'll be back. More Kavito and Rich next.

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood? A Cuban musician with a dream and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time. You get Desi Arnaz, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama. And yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From cleaning canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you on a journey to Desi's life, the moments it has overlapped with mine. How he redefined American television and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like ours on screen. This is the story of how one man spotlight led the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to Starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama as part of the My Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

[Steve Covino]

Strange accidents and brutal murders in what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.

Do to improve our health, but also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes in the United states. I mean 50% of Americans are pre diabetic. How preventable is type 2?

[Rich Davis]

Extremely.

[Steve Covino]

Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that like your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible.

The Rich Russians falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. Chances we dig deeper into these odd deaths which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, the window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media and Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

What? Yeah, yo, am I hearing some Vanilla Ice in my headphones? Turn up the bass on this boy, Iowa Sam is this little Play that funky music. Oh, I used to love this one.

[Steve Covino]

Cavino's favorite is what it's like having.

[Rich Davis]

A Roni to the extreme. Covino and Rich drop that hero and.

[Danny G]

Get with this zero. That's what he said. No, the other way around.

[Rich Davis]

I used to love it.

[Danny G]

He should have said that though.

[Rich Davis]

Play that funky music. All right, Cavino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. I'm Cavino, that is Rich. He eat spaghetti with a spoon. Rich Davis.

[Steve Covino]

You know what, Happy birthday. Shout out to my dude, Coach Ball game. So if you follow Coach ball game let him know Covino and Rich were showing some birthday love. I think one of the best followers on social media other than us.

[Rich Davis]

Nah, he's a good dude.

[Steve Covino]

He's such a good dude. Ambassador to baseball.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. A guest on our over promised show. That's our bonus pod and a new episode debuts in 10 minutes so join us live on Covino and Rich FSR. You could also listen but you could watch the show. So it's a TV show of sorts and we're going to discuss good rumors in sports. Good rumors like Khalil.

[Steve Covino]

Like you got two and a half coke cans in your pants.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly like Matt Khalil. We're going to talk who might be ass this week and bad tattoos in Sports on over promised 115kavino and rich FSR for over 40 years Tirex been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive shipped f fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com the way tire Buying should.

[Steve Covino]

Be, hey, do I like old guy candy or does everyone like the variety bag that someone put in the kitchen? Because, yo, I was saying, you brought that in. I had to get rid of that, man, because it was giving me the beatus, the diabetes. I had to be like, I gotta get rid of this bag. It's gonna cause me an early death. And now everyone. Martin got a sucker. You had a sucker. A Tootsie Roll Pop. No, you're all a bunch of owls. It was Tootsie Roll Pops. Dots. Remember we talked about Dots? Mini Tootsie Rolls and those. The flavor Tootsie Rolls. Like the vanilla one, the cherry one, best. Like, I think kids would say that's old people candy, but I'll take it. I. I love that whole variety pack.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I know.

[Steve Covino]

It was cheaper too. It's a nice mix up. Instead of getting the usual mix, we said last week that every kid has the same Kit Kat, Twix, Reese's.

[Rich Davis]

So it was how co workers and colleagues just throw the bait out there to, to get all the fatties.

[Steve Covino]

Sugar.

[Rich Davis]

If you have stuff you want to get rid of in your pantry, you know, you could bring it to most kitchens and all the, all the.

[Danny G]

It's a torta trap.

[Rich Davis]

It is. It's a torta trap. And you can watch. You're like, all right, who's going to go for my stale Oreos? You know, who's going to go for the stale candy? And they'll be gone. Honestly, if it was a trap, bring the weirdest stuff. Like you could bring. Bring like leftover, like things in your, in your medicine cabinet. It'll go. You can bring. I haven't used this, this cream. I'm gonna leave it here. Someone will take it.

[Steve Covino]

You can put a little, you can put a little plate of like, no joke, like Gordon's Fisherman.

[Rich Davis]

It's gone. I mean, here's some cough drops.

[Steve Covino]

Here's some flintstones vitamins from 1982.

[Rich Davis]

Gone.

[Steve Covino]

Enjoy.

[Rich Davis]

Yep. You leave them on the kitchen counter and someone will take them. All right.

[Steve Covino]

We should do the experiment. It's like, you ever see that How I Met yout Mother episode where they say when you put, put something out, like a big furniture item for trap, for trash, by the time you get to your apartment and look out the window, someone's already taken it.

[Rich Davis]

True.

[Steve Covino]

People love stuff.

[Rich Davis]

It is like free candy. Especially free stuff.

[Steve Covino]

I can't take any more, man.

[Rich Davis]

I can't have any more now. Thank you, Sam, for that. Iowa. Sam. Danny G. Spots on the videos Covino and Rich FSR Monsieur was fun hanging with her today. If you missed the show, you could watch back. You could watch Monsieur Covino and Rich FSR Rich, I know you're going to give us more picks on over promised.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, buddy.

[Rich Davis]

But what are your thoughts? Week 10 begins tonight. Broncos, Raiders. I mean we spent the whole first hour talking about the Broncos and how wrong we were and Sean Payton was right and he turned the whole team around. You got your seven and two Broncos, your two and six Raiders. The outcome is going to be obvious. But how do you, how do you look at this?

[Steve Covino]

Danny G. Is the most optimistic fan and I and I love him for that. He reminds me of how I talk about the Mets. That's how he is optimistic about the Raider. That's a divisional game.

[Danny G]

I told you last Friday to look out for Brock Bowers and he had a huge game.

[Steve Covino]

He did. I don't know if I, if I had a bet on this game, I Broncos are favored by eight and a half. I'll touch on this more. I'm going to put it as part of my teasers and my over promise bets. I would take that down to two and a half and partner it up with another bet. Make it a teaser. But if I would have to bet this game straight up, I'm sorry, Danny, I just still think if you told me the Raiders at the Broncos want 2717 or you know, 2410, I think they win by double. I think they win by double digits. And I hate to say that because I would love to see your team be competitive, but I think in Denver the Broncos are starting to make a push towards like are we dominant?

[Danny G]

What's scary is the Broncos defensive line and so Gino's going to have to get rid of that ball very quickly.

[Rich Davis]

If he he's not batted down again like he was last week.

[Steve Covino]

If Gino has a first quarter turnover, I feel like it might be over early.

[Danny G]

Get some quick passes off to Bowers, let him pick up the yards.

[Steve Covino]

Now Brock Bowers, you think he might get some some good fantasy numbers because Gino will have to start dumping it off to someone.

[Rich Davis]

Could be.

[Steve Covino]

All right, we'll see you guys later on. Arrived at baby.

[Rich Davis]

See you in the over promised land. Let's go. Thanksgiving isn't just about food. It's a day for us to show up, up for one another.
