Steve Covino (3:02)

Alright, bringing it. Alarm went off this morning. Early. Like Mr. Furley. Like the old guy. Alarm Jack. And just one word came to mind. Fudge. But then again, I get so excited to fill in for DP Covino and Rich. Day two of the Dan Patrick unnatural holiday hat trick. Merry Christmas Eve. I'm Christmas Steve. That is Rich.

Rich Davis (3:30)

And there is way too many Christmas story references in the studio. You already did your fudge. We have a leg lamp and spots. Got a bunny shirt on. Oh, you got a Ralphie shirt on.

Steve Covino (3:40)

I do. With the soap in his mouth.

Rich Davis (3:42)

Most overrated Christmas movie. And we're gonna get to it on today's show. I think it's trash. I think it's Garbagio.

Steve Covino (3:48)

Well, actually, hold your horses. We're gonna talk about the greatest R rated Christmas movies today. For your adult viewing pleasures, I guess. But if you want to dump on this classic. Yeah, be my guest. Hey, it's not like I love it so much. Although I do like it. Scut Farkas and Ralphie and Randy and major award. I probably bought this at Target because I had to wear it to a stupid holiday party and it's the only reason I have it. So today's the only appropriate day to wear it and get my money's worth out of this T $10 T shirt of a Christmas story. So I'm trying to be festive. Like I said, Christmas Steve. Christmas Eve. Happy Hanukkah tomorrow. Merry Christmas and thank you guys for being here. Like I said, always a pleasure to fill in for Dan Patrick. If you missed yesterday's show, I thought it was fun. I thought it went great. So catch it on the podcast again. I'm Kavino. That is Rich. We're on two to four out here on the West, Monday through Friday on Fox Sports Radio. Five to seven on the east. Just search Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast. Let's welcome super producer Chase Stu.

Rich Davis (4:53)

Yo, what up?

Steve Covino (4:55)

Hello. Yeah, he's a super producer. He's a super professional. He's been there, done that. From Jim Rome to Doug Gottlieb, he's done it all. He's an actor. He's probably been in a Christmas movie. We don't even know about it. So I feel like we're not worthy of the J. Stu.

Rich Davis (5:14)

I think he was probably in, like, home alone for no, like, yeah, definitely.

Steve Covino (5:16)

In a Hallmark movie. Yeah, he's probably been in one. He's done it all. No time. He was in a lifetime Christmas. Always fun to work with J. Stu. He's on the phones at 877-99-FOX. 87799 on FOX. And being the most interactive show, most inclusive show on radio. We welcome you to talk trash, to say merry Christmas to hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox sports radio on social media. Let's go.

Rich Davis (5:41)

Did J. Stu play, like, the douchey big city boyfriend that was holding the girl back?

Steve Covino (5:45)

Yeah, he's definitely like the Glenn Gulia type. Definitely the Glenn Gulia of Christmas movies. So we'll talk Christmas movies. We're gonna talk the best Christmas sports toy of your childhood. We have a number one answer. It's a clear answer. We're gonna talk a little Charlie woods if we have time. Lots to get to. I just want to give him props. I think he seems like a swell kid, like a nice fella, and I'm happy for his moment with his dad. Is hole in one. That's really it. But before we talk Packers, Rich.

Dan Patrick (6:14)

Yes.

Steve Covino (6:14)

I hope you had a Green Bay packers sort of Monday night. Whoo. Can I just say that it was a boring game? So the whole time I'm sitting there watching him dominate, and I'm like, all right, can I turn it off now? How about now? How about now? And I'm debating that. Keep it on. But I gotta wake up early. I want to get out with my night. So I put on Dexter original sin, the new series.

Rich Davis (6:40)

Episodes deep.

Steve Covino (6:41)

Three episodes deep now. And I gotta tell you, I think there's a lot of people. People sleep on things like the Packers. People are sleeping on the new Dexter prequel. If you never watch Dexter, it doesn't matter. But I could say it's probably one of the best shows of our 20 years of working together.

Rich Davis (7:00)

I agree. I'm a big Dexter fan, so I like what you're saying. People are sleeping on two things. Dexter and the green Bay Packers. We're going to get to.

Steve Covino (7:10)

Yeah.

Rich Davis (7:10)

Why? In a second.

Steve Covino (7:11)

Maybe it's a hot woman that nobody talks about. And you're like, I can't believe nobody talks about it. Who else? What else are we sleeping on? Because the packers are probably the number one answer. But please, let me just tell you this. I'm thinking to myself, self, got to wake up 5am out here on the west side to do DP. Can't stay up that late. So I shut the game off because the packers are destroying, right? They're dominating this game. I put on Dexter. Two new episodes are out. There's three toll. This is the prequel to the original series Dexter. So they had a recast. And this is the key. They had a recast. All the characters you grew up knowing and casting is everything. And this is why you love it. The guy that plays young Dexter, a young Michael C. Hall, almost identical. Dude, you're like, that's the guy. Ah, the guy that plays Bautista, Same guy. Laguerta is Christina Milian. Like, it's unbelievable casting. Mazuka, remember that guy?

Rich Davis (8:11)

Of course. The Asian dude, The young version of him.

Steve Covino (8:14)

Totally different guy, all different people, different cast, identical nail in the part. You could see how well it was written. It's so good. Dude, I'm not into prequels and things like that. This is so worth the watch. And it's narrated, you got me. By the original Michael C. Hall. So my point is, by the way.

Rich Davis (8:31)

When you said, you know, Masuke, and I'm like the Asian guy, I knew that it wasn't just a guess because that would have been the easiest guess. Oh, Masuka, the Asian guy. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Steve Covino (8:40)

Well, look, Kavito and Rich celebrated 20 years of working together. 20 years of working together and still the youngest in the game. I don't know how. And we were on the air when Sopranos was running. Okay, Dexter's right up there with the best. People sleep on it. And people are sleeping on the new series. I'm here to tell you. Watch it and enjoy. And you can write me a thank you note. At Steve Covkovino, there was a turning.

Rich Davis (9:07)

Point in the original Dexter. See, I watched the whole series, My.

Steve Covino (9:11)

Dark Passenger, but there's a lot of.

Rich Davis (9:14)

People that said after the John Lithgow season.

Steve Covino (9:16)

Who are those people who show me them?

Rich Davis (9:19)

Like most people.

Steve Covino (9:20)

Now, that's the key.

Rich Davis (9:21)

No, it's like Walking Dead. It's like Walking Dead when people say, when Carl died, they gave up everybody.

Steve Covino (9:27)

There was.

Rich Davis (9:27)

There was a point.

Steve Covino (9:28)

There's outrage. Where's the outrage? Show me the outrage. I will tell.

Rich Davis (9:31)

I'm gonna.

Steve Covino (9:32)

You're speaking in. In. In social media headlines. Who said it sucked after that? Show me him. I'll punch him in the face. No one's ever said it. Dexter was great. I love the Criticism was the last episode of the final season, right? How it ended. And I'm telling you, they. I think they saved it because they had a comeback. But watch it and enjoy. But the point is, people are sleeping on it the same way they're sleeping on the Green Bay Packers. Because, look, I do the show with Rich every day. He loves talking NFL. This dude never mentions the Packers. And I see that every once in a while, see one dude say, hey, man, we watched the talking heads on tv. We watched the people on ESPN fighting just like you do. I see Herb street and Stephen A.

Dan Patrick (10:21)

Have it.

Rich Davis (10:21)

Word.

Steve Covino (10:22)

Yeah. I see them having words. Every once in a while, I'll hear somebody say, man, if there's any team that could be any team, any given day, any given Sunday in the NFL, it's the Green Bay Packers. Once in a while, I'll hear that. Once in a blue moon. But they're not sexy. No one really likes to talk about them.

Rich Davis (10:39)

You don't think Jordan Love sexy People.

Steve Covino (10:41)

Are sleeping on him?

Rich Davis (10:41)

I think that Michael C. Hall and Jordan Love have a lot in common. People are sleeping on.

Steve Covino (10:46)

We both have dark passengers.

Rich Davis (10:48)

I think. J. Stu, you and I, before the show were talking about how it's almost like Jordan Love has an on switch that's flipped.

Steve Covino (10:55)

By the way, no relation to Darlene Love, right.

Rich Davis (10:58)

Christmas baby, please come home. I think it's his aunt.

Steve Covino (11:00)

Is it? No.

Rich Davis (11:02)

Start that rumor.

Steve Covino (11:03)

I heard Buddy Love is his uncle.

Rich Davis (11:05)

Buddy Love. By the way, the game was so boring last night. Did you see in the fourth quarter, Joe Buck's doing elf impressions.

Steve Covino (11:13)

You know, I think I missed. You told me, but I missed that part. I must have been sweeping the floor out of boredom.

Rich Davis (11:18)

They're coming out of commercial at this point. It's like 27 nothing.

Steve Covino (11:22)

Can I give you two indicators? When you know you're tuned out of the game or you're bored?

Rich Davis (11:26)

Yeah.

Steve Covino (11:26)

When you start looking at your phone as indicator number one, this is not grabbing my attention. I'd rather look at something stupid on social media. I'm feeling the compulsion to look. Or when you just start wiping down your counters or you pick up a broom, you're like, I guess the game is kind of boring. Because if I choose cleaning over that, it means I'm just trying to do two things at once.

Rich Davis (11:47)

We get those smudges on the window. They're coming out of commercial, and they pan to the crowd, and there's a bunch of people dressed up like Buddy the elf, and Joe Buck's like, hey, Buddy, hope You find your dad and I'm like, well, not bad. Joe Buck, he's doing elf impressions.

Steve Covino (12:02)

There's nothing wrong with bringing personality. I thought it was great. Into a football game. You know, I think that's where sports made a wrong turn. It's sports. It's entertainment, and people take it far too serious. Not that you shouldn't take it serious, but in a stuffy way. Right. I always found it interesting that a bunch of sports fans wearing beer helmets watch dudes in suits talk about it.

Rich Davis (12:19)

I agree 100%.

Steve Covino (12:20)

Guys with face paint in the stands and dudes with suits breaking it down, wearing cufflinks. Yeah, it's fun. So to see Joe Buck have a little fun with a boring game is okay with me.

Rich Davis (12:32)

So let's talk about the packers for a second. And I'm not one of these jabronis that have been downplaying.

Steve Covino (12:38)

You are a jabroni, though.

Rich Davis (12:39)

The Green Bay packers, my wife, her family, they're packers fans. So I got my fear to the streets of the Packers.

Steve Covino (12:45)

Meaning squad. Oh, meaning you don't. You never talked about the Steelers, and I'm starting to see why the Steelers.

Rich Davis (12:50)

Because I never believed in them. But last night, there's certain.

Steve Covino (12:52)

Certain teams that you just don't hit on and the public sort of forgets.

Rich Davis (12:56)

Let me. Let me first of all tell everyone about the worst beat last night. You know, Scott Van Pelt does bad beats when a bet just misses. I just happen to see someone adamantly on social media talking about the best bet of the night might be Jordan Love, under 29 attempts passing the ball, because the thought was Green Bay would be up so big, they'd run the ball in the second half. And he's thrown under 30 passes the last, like, three out of four games. So I was like, you know what? Let me keep an eye. I didn't make the bet. And then in the fourth quarter, he's at 28. I'm like, ooh, this is going to be close. They take him out for the last series. So anyone that made that bet. 28 attempts, and Vegas had it at 29.

Steve Covino (13:36)

16 for 28, 182 yards, one tutty, no picks.

Rich Davis (13:41)

Just a very easy night of work for Green Bay. So to show that I'm not sleeping on this team, I immediately looked at the super bowl odds because I could see one team that I think is the best value. It's by far Matt LaFleur, Jordan Love, and these Green Bay packers, they're just in a loaded division. You're gonna Hate this analogy, but dare.

Steve Covino (14:02)

I say, if you do it like Colin Cowherd, I might like it. Stars attract stars. Stars. And stars are stars.

Dan Patrick (14:10)

Stars, stars.

Rich Davis (14:12)

So when you're in a division with two, 13, two teams and everyone's talking about the gutsy, ballsy Lions and everyone's talking about Sam Darnold, it's not a good story anymore. This guy's legit. They're 13 and two. When you're talking about two, 13 and two teams. And then you got the Packers 11 and four, two games behind them. It's so easy to sleep on them. Dare I say it's like my New York Mets last year. Yes, they caught lightning in a bottle in the playoffs until they hit J. Stu's Dodgers and reality struck. But the Mets spent the whole season in third place behind the Phillies and the Braves. And it made sense because those teams were arguably just better.

Steve Covino (15:00)

Or the Mets stunk for like two months. That was part of it. You tuned out. I hate to call you out, but that's the reason. The reason you tuned out is because they sucked so bad. Which is why it was such a good story when they pulled it all together last month and a half of the season. But let it be known they sucked for a good.

Rich Davis (15:19)

They did. But what I'm saying is they still ended up winning.

Steve Covino (15:23)

Oh, man, they had a magical season. I'm not going to deny that.

Rich Davis (15:26)

Ended up winning 89 games and they sort of had a bad last week of the season. So the Mets are like, they were like a 90 win team and went way under the radar because all year long it was all about Bryce Harper and the Phillies. And look at that. Atlanta won the World Series a couple of years ago.

Steve Covino (15:42)

Sexier.

Rich Davis (15:43)

Yeah. And I think no one really paid attention. And I think right now we're so hung up on man, listen, the Niners are out of it, so it's going to be a new representative in the nfc. Are the Lions finally going to do it? Oh my God, what a great story with Minnesota. And then the other narrative is like, oh, we don't really want Philly again. Unless you live in Philly. No one's talking about Green Bay right now.

Steve Covino (16:03)

Dude, the super bowl odds. Sweet.

Rich Davis (16:06)

The super bowl odds right now are fantastic for the Green Bay Packers. The worst value. You want the worst value. Detroit and Kansas City are both roughly plus 400. Now for the non gambling fool, plus 400 means you bet 100, you win 400. That's terrible value. Kansas City plus 400 plus 450 at some sports books. Plus 375, meaning you're getting like 3 to 1 odds. 4 to 1 odds right now in Vegas. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. They have the seventh best odds. And the reason is Kavina, that they're going to have to play every round of the playoffs and they're going to have to play every round on the RO add because they're a wild card. But right now, the Green bay packers are plus 1400 and plus 1500 in some places. That, to me, is great value. I know that means they have to go on the road multiple times, but do you really look at Green Bay and say they are a lesser team than Detroit? Minnesota.

Steve Covino (17:12)

Yes.

Rich Davis (17:12)

Philadelphia.

Dan Patrick (17:13)

Really?

Steve Covino (17:13)

Yeah. And here's why. And I look at. I'm a fight fan. I look at football the same way I look at fights. I look for the best matchups. I like matchups. And I have a team. I watch the games. That entry interest me the most based on the matchup and any fight that goes down, I'm like, all right, well, who did he be? Or anytime I'm thinking of any boxer or fighter, I'm like, well, who did he beat? Who did he lose to?

Rich Davis (17:40)

By the way, the most weird fact about Steve Covino, if you're new to our show, most of all, the things about you, and I'm sure you can name a lot of weird things about me. The fact that you don't have a football team.

Steve Covino (17:51)

Every other sport.

Rich Davis (17:52)

Yes, football. He's like, I watched the matchups.

Steve Covino (17:54)

I look at it this way.

Rich Davis (17:55)

How do you not have a lot of the great team?

Steve Covino (17:56)

I don't think Colin Cowherd does either.

Rich Davis (17:58)

A lot of the greats.

Steve Covino (18:00)

Yeah, yeah. Can I keep my opinions, you know, objective analyst. It keeps me honest.

Rich Davis (18:06)

Cavito the journalist.

Steve Covino (18:08)

And it keeps me tuned in because of games that I like. As opposed to one team.

Rich Davis (18:12)

Please. You're as much of a journalist as Bobby the Brain.

Steve Covino (18:15)

He knows, dude, you're already tuned out because your Niners are out. I'm still tuned in because I like the matchups. Every week he wears an NFL hat like Rob Lowe did. That. I do, I do. It's true. No, no, no. But, like, anytime a boxer comes up, I'm like, well, what was his legacy? He lost three fights. Well, who did he lose to? And if he loses to all the big names, like, all right, he beat a nobody. Nobody, nobody, nobody. But he lost to three names that I know. It's like, well, he was good, but he wasn't that good because he lost to all the big names. That's how I look up the Wikipedia and the fight records. The same way you're looking at. Well, who did Green Bay lose to? They're 11 and 4.

Dan Patrick (18:53)

Right?

Rich Davis (18:53)

He's a big Roger Goodell fan.

Steve Covino (18:55)

They're 11 and 4. Yeah, but they lost to the Eagles. They lost to the Lions twice, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, they lost to the Broncos in a preseason. That's preseason. So they lost to the Lions. Lions.

Rich Davis (19:08)

Get the schedule. If you're gonna. If you're gonna make this battle, get your schedule ready and they'll be looking at preseason games.

Steve Covino (19:13)

No, I just said it. They lost to the Lions, Lions, Vikings, Eagles.

Rich Davis (19:16)

This is horse.

Steve Covino (19:17)

Okay, hold on. That does not. I. Again, styles make fights. Matchups are what I love, so I get it. But if they can't beat those teams, that says a lot to me. I'm not saying that's the be all, end all, but it shows that those teams are a little bit better to me. Doesn't mean they can't make adjustments. Sports, life, football, it's all about adjustments. Do you think they have enough momentum? Where. Oh, they could beat an Eagles. They could beat Alliance. They could. You know what I mean? They could be that team. They could be a Vikings. I don't know. I think they're good, but they're like, right under. Right under that level of good. They got, like, a bright future. I think Vegas might disagree with you, Covino. Only because I just looked at the odds for Sunday. This is early. Packers are at the Vikings and they are getting a point and a half, which essentially means they're favored. I bet Vegas thinks the packers are. And I would never bet against Vegas. Yeah, somehow they always know these things. And I often wonder, like, rich, what the hell do they know? How do they know?

Rich Davis (20:18)

Can I. I hate to call you out because it is, you know, Christmas Eve and you're Christmas Eve with your stupid ass Christmas Story shirt on.

Steve Covino (20:27)

Hey, I came in festive. We're all festive. Except you. Except for you. He rolls out in his pajamas. What is that, a buffalo on your shirt? Yeah.

Rich Davis (20:34)

Catalina island trip. I was at the wine mixer.

Steve Covino (20:38)

Yeah. So they are going to call me out on.

Rich Davis (20:41)

I mean, I want to call you out.

Steve Covino (20:42)

Your word is no better than mine. It's not like you have a crystal ball. You bone. Do you have Biff's Almanac where you're right and I'm wrong? I don't think so. I'm just telling you why I think what I think.

Rich Davis (20:51)

But you Just said the matchups show you that when they played those better teams. Can I give you the scores of these games you speak of? And I want to tell you when these games were.

Steve Covino (21:00)

But how do my facts lose to your just assumption here? Based on. The scores were close, but they still lost because you have a crystal ball. Like I said. Are you a genie of sorts?

Rich Davis (21:11)

Week one of the NFL, Brazil. That feels like an eternity ago. Remember that game?

Steve Covino (21:16)

Yeah, I do.

Rich Davis (21:17)

We're talking about all the Brazilian booties. And remember there was the rumor, like, should they wear green in Brazil? That would. That felt like 10 years ago. They lost 34, 29 in a. Like a really back and forth week one game against the Eagles that you can't even count that three months later, that's like. That's a different team that. That starts crossing.

Steve Covino (21:40)

What's the update on Hertz, by the way?

Rich Davis (21:43)

I don't know. I'll look it up a second. But you know, I want to tell you.

Steve Covino (21:47)

Concussion protocol.

Rich Davis (21:48)

Yeah, it's still happening.

Steve Covino (21:49)

Okay, so if you're gonna tell me. Yeah, he's not playing. Yeah. Green Bay, you know, they would have the edge now. No question. It's a long season. Things change. I get all that.

Rich Davis (21:59)

That game was a two point game until a field goal iced it at the end. And again, you know when that was.

Steve Covino (22:05)

But hold on, Rich, as we go through this and it's fun to look back and see if they've improved. If you think there would be a different outcome, I do appreciate that. You know, there's a reason that we're talking about this. People are sleeping on them. I think they're. Because they're not. They haven't proven yet that they could beat that caliber of team. Yeah, they could. Romp of Saints 34, nothing.

Rich Davis (22:26)

So they lose week one in Brazil. Odd game. You're traveling around the world now. Let's go to Week 4. They lose to the Vikings by two in September.

Steve Covino (22:36)

Again, this is the Vikings. Got any less, though? They're on fire.

Rich Davis (22:40)

But you know what, though? It's like you're a big baseball fan. It's like me talking about a Yankees game in April or May. Come postseason, it's like, dude, that was a different squad. That was a different team.

Steve Covino (22:49)

Could the packers win? I'm not hating on the Packers. I think they're a really exciting team.

Rich Davis (22:53)

They've lost close games to everyone in this division. That's the problem. They lost to the Lions twice, but you know What?

Steve Covino (23:00)

Yeah, but no. 1.

Rich Davis (23:01)

They lost to the Lions last A couple weeks ago, you know what that score was? 34,31. And it was fantastic. And it was in Detroit.

Steve Covino (23:08)

Could they win? Yeah, but they didn't. Does Vegas say something different? Yeah. So I'm probably wrong. But the proof is here. And the wins and losses. If you ask me, I think I like the Packers. Let's make it clear. And that's the reason we're talking about them. People are sleeping on them. They could beat all of these teams any given day. I agree with that. But they haven't. I also think Tyson Fury could be Oleks. Anthur Usyk, maybe on another day, but he didn't. So your thoughts? Other things we're sleeping on. I thought of a few bands. I thought of a few fighters. Maybe there's women, maybe there's shows. I told you, Dexter. Original sin. Who are the packers of your life? Who else are we sleeping on?

Rich Davis (23:47)

That's a good question.

Steve Covino (23:48)

Yeah. Anything else? It's a brand. Can I give you a brand before we talk about rapid radios?

Rich Davis (23:53)

Don't sleep on rapid radios.

Steve Covino (23:55)

Don't sleep on them. You go to Target with your wifey, right? You go in there for one thing, then you end up with a $500 bill. You ever see the brand Goodfellow at Target? I think people are sleeping on it.

Rich Davis (24:06)

It's a good brand for a discount store. Good brand.

Steve Covino (24:08)

You know how many people are like, yeah, where'd you get that? And I'm like, don't worry about it. You know why I say don't worry about it? Because I don't want to tell them I got it at Target. Goodfellow is a great clothing brand and everybody sleeps on it because no one wants to admit that they got their clothes at Target. It's a really good brand. I like it a lot, okay?

Rich Davis (24:24)

I just don't like telling people when I buy clothes at Costco, that's what still.

Steve Covino (24:29)

But I think it's like such a good quality seasonal. I'm not saying it's made from the greatest materials in all the land, but I really feel like, hey, if you need some shorts, you want to go to lucky store, pay $100 for a pair of shorts, go to the mall and overpay or go to Target because you need shorts and you paid 30 bucks. You know what?

Rich Davis (24:52)

What else are we sleeping on besides the new Dexter and the Green Bay Packers? What in life is it? A new good looking woman on the scene? Is it a show? Is it a team? Is it the Packers?

Steve Covino (25:03)

I agree. We're sleeping on the Packers.

Rich Davis (25:04)

Who are the packers of your life? We'll take your feedback next. Having fun Christmas Eve Kavino and Rich in for the great Dan Patrick.

Rich Davis (31:21)

Fun fact about Darlene Love. You think I'm gonna say she performed on Letterman every year for like 30 years in a row? Not what I was gonna say. She's Danny Glover's wife and lethal weapon. Mrs. Murtaugh. Darlene Love.

Steve Covino (31:34)

Good one.

Rich Davis (31:35)

Rich Davis (32:07)

Well, Merry Christmas.

Steve Covino (32:09)

What am I getting? No, but it's a pleasure to be here. What's up, J. Stu. What's up? Fox Sports Radio Nation. Remember, all I want seriously for Christmas is peace, happiness. Like leave me alone. That Kind of peace. Not like world peace. I wasn't getting all righteous on you. Not peace on earth. No, not peace on earth.

Rich Davis (32:26)

No one hassled him.

Steve Covino (32:27)

Like, stop bothering me. As your buddies say, Rich. Stop squeezing my shoes. As my dad say, stop busting my chops. The strife come with a gift receipt. As Jackie Chan says, leave me alone. Just leave me alone.

Rich Davis (32:39)

Just leave him alone. Leave him alone.

Steve Covino (32:41)

And I want you guys to follow our podcast search Coveeno Enrich. That's really all I want for qus moist cuz I got everything else.

Rich Davis (32:49)

So I have to go to the mall today.

Steve Covino (32:50)

For what? Why? Who were just there yesterday, you weirdo. Why? To people watch. Because he's such a people person.

Rich Davis (32:58)

No, first of all, I need to see people. I. You were just there yesterday, late last night. Started assessing my kids presence and anyone with multiple kids has been here. It's lopsided. I assessed everything and I'm like, oh.

Steve Covino (33:14)

Lucky they're getting anything.

Rich Davis (33:15)

My daughter has significantly more than my son in the current moment.

Steve Covino (33:19)

Maybe she deserves more.

Rich Davis (33:20)

Rich, I'm just. I have to. I'm like, so now I have to just go buy stuff because listen, you got multiple kids, mom and dad and Santa. You can't have a lopsided Christmas if you have two little kids.

Steve Covino (33:30)

She's been around longer. It's smart though. It's a smart move. She's got longevity. Is it in the long run? Trust me, I have a spoiled teenager. I don't know. I'm just saying to be grateful.

Rich Davis (33:40)

It sounds ridiculous, but it could be small gifts from Target, Walmart, anything. They just. They can't have an uneven number of things under the tree. Kids.

Steve Covino (33:49)

God bless kids. But one of the great things about.

Rich Davis (33:52)

Being a kid is you don't have.

Steve Covino (33:53)

To deal with social graces like looking a gift horse in the mouth. They don't even know what that means. They're going to do the math on this. You need to even out the ledger. They're gonna see, does my sister have more gifts than me?

Rich Davis (34:03)

And the size too true. I know that sounds ridiculous. Like if my daughter has one, if she has one big gift. I'm just talking about in size. Not even in price. Like in size. My son needs a big gift in size. If you have two kids around the same age, you know what a pain in the ass they are. So yeah, I have to. I have to run to the mall.

Steve Covino (34:22)

Get into the show. Ty. Those are my favorite little paddle of the ball. As we get back to things that we slept on, like the Green Bay Packers.

Rich Davis (34:28)

Yeah.

Steve Covino (34:29)

Or that we're sleeping on. Still. We're not giving enough credit to. Can I throw a toy out there that I think we all slept on? That was awesome. Before we get into the best Christmas sports toys and our Tyson interview, third hour. We caught up with Mike Tyson. We want you guys to hear it. We caught up with him last week. It was a lot of fun. You're going to hear the great, the real Mike Tyson on the show. About an hour and a half or so. So stick around for that.

Rich Davis (34:57)

Perfect.

Steve Covino (34:58)

But you don't need to spend a lot of money. Rich. A toy that we all had, I think we all had that I thought was a great toy that cost maybe three bucks, but you still had to beg your parents to buy it for you.

Rich Davis (35:09)

Please.

Steve Covino (35:11)

That disc gun you would buy at the pharmacy, that's a good one. That plastic gun that shot discs, you know I'm talking about. Not those little yellow pellets, not a cap gun. They shot little discs.

Rich Davis (35:22)

I was convinced the different colors went different speeds, but I think that was a rumor.

Steve Covino (35:26)

Well, that's because you were a bonehead, but it's possible. Yeah, that was an underrated toy. Buy your son something cheap. Buy him some shrinky dinks. Buy him, say he doesn't need anything extravagant. He's. He's a nose picking 4 year old. So the packers now in the same breath when I said, I look at a fighter and I see who they beat and who they lost to. If they lost to a legend, if their losses are Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. And Joel Calzaghi and they're legendary names. It doesn't mean that I think they suck. They beat everybody else. They just weren't able to beat those great dudes. And then I'll look. Well, they went the distance though, so they still put up a good fight. It doesn't mean I think they suck. It just means to me that they were really good. Just not good enough to edge out those dudes who had that intangible that made him a little better. And so far the packers haven't proven that they could beat the Vikings, that they could beat the Lions, that they could beat the Eagles. So that's the only thing I'm saying against them. Otherwise, I agree. I feel right up there with the better teams.

Rich Davis (36:33)

I follow what you're saying, but I think, I think the packers could, could beat anyone. I don't know if I could say the same, but they had. I don't know if I could say the same. If you Want to jump to the AFC for a second? Going into the Chargers game, dude, they j still.

Steve Covino (36:50)

I don't know when they will next year for sure.

Rich Davis (36:52)

Yeah. You know what? I hope they win. Just because your point stinks.

Steve Covino (36:55)

No, dude, I'm not. I'm not counting them out. We're bringing this up because we think we're sleeping on.

Rich Davis (37:00)

I think we are because they've played close games and one bounce goes one way or the other. The packers could be winning this division. It's just there, two games out, they lost close games to everyone in the division. I don't think you could say the same about the Denver Broncos necessarily. I think they're like 8 no against bet like teams they should beat. And all the teams that are over.500 they have lost to. I think all of them except one. So that I think there's more proof in the pudding of a stat like that. Figgy pudding.

Steve Covino (37:27)

Figgy pudding.

Rich Davis (37:28)

But I don't know, man. I'm not sleeping on Green Bay anymore. I haven't the whole season.

Steve Covino (37:34)

No one talks more football than you. You've never brought them on to every day. I think I've ever heard about the packers on the show. You're the biggest culprit. That said here every day, you're the.

Rich Davis (37:44)

Lobby picking your belly button lint.

Steve Covino (37:46)

I mean, he's got a lot of it. So the point in bringing this up is they deserve the props now. Especially after that beating they gave the Saints last night.

Rich Davis (37:56)

It was a beat.

Steve Covino (37:56)

So can I give you two other things that come to mind and I'll leave the other answers for you, Fox Sports Radio Nation. Let's get involved. Let's chop it up. What are other things we sleep on? I'm a rock host. That was my career path. That's how I ended up with this bonehead, I mean, co host of mine, Rich Davis.

Rich Davis (38:14)

Yeah, Kavino's all like the rock channels that no one listens to on SiriusXM, man.

Steve Covino (38:18)

Well, I am still on the rock channels. I'm on Turbo. I'm on ozzy's boneyard on SiriusXM, right? I'm on Turbo every night.

Rich Davis (38:24)

What do they call that? Divorced dad rock.

Steve Covino (38:26)

It is angry divorced dad rock. It's funny because it's true.

Rich Davis (38:29)

If you're like 40 something and you like Papa Roach, you'll love Kavina.

Steve Covino (38:31)

Yeah, kiddos call it Butt Rock.

Rich Davis (38:34)

Hey, you want some Limp Bizkit? Here's a guy, some angry system of A. Down. Covino's in the house.

Steve Covino (38:43)

So Chevelle Is one of those bands. Yeah, Chevelle is one of those bands that people sleep on. They're legitimate. They rock just as hard as anybody. They might not have that flair. They might not have that superstar look about them. Very unassuming, but they have songs for days. You go to a Chevelle show, you're like, I know this song. They got like 10 songs deep, and they're great. And yet they're just Chevelle. And I say that respectfully. I say that with love with Jordan, love with Darlene Love. I say that with love. That's not to undermine them by any means. That's to lift them up and give them props. I think people sleep on how good they are. People forget Chevelle is one of those bands right up there with the best of them in the dad rock genre, divorced ad rock genre, and fighters. I'm going to throw this guy Richard Torres out there. No one talks about him. I'm talking about him. Richard Torres Jr. He's a vato loco young guy. Think he's like 25 years old. He's only 14 0, but dude is knocking everybody out. Richard Torres Jr. People are like, I want to see Jake Paul fight a real boxer. I want to see Richard Torres knock his ass out.

Rich Davis (39:57)

No one knows who that is, so he'll never fight Jake Paul. But that would be.

Steve Covino (40:02)

I don't know about that. I think you're. Again, the point is, you're sleeping on them now. People that know.

Rich Davis (40:07)

No, let's go to your phone calls. What are we sleeping on? Sports, entertainment, music. What are you up on that? You're like, why is no one else. Charlie in Florida. What's going on? Kavino and Rich in for Dan Patrick.

Steve Covino (40:20)

What's up, boys? Actually, the first time I heard you was yesterday. Nice. And then Covino.

Dan Patrick (40:26)

I.

Steve Covino (40:26)

Obviously, I enjoyed the show, which is why I'm calling in. But I, too, am from Queens, and I moved when I moved to Tampa 15 years ago. I was living in Massapequa park, but I went to St. Francis Prep in Bayside. So I don't know. We might know each other maybe.

Rich Davis (40:41)

Camino's a Jersey guy. I'm Rich. I'm more of the New York guy. Bell Boulevard. That White Castle. That white. That White Castle over there. I know you've been there. So what's up, man?

Steve Covino (40:50)

I used to work at KROC in New York. Rich, listen to me. White Castle, me and my friends have. We've uprooted that. That's off of its foundation right now. I've literally ordered $50 worth of White Castle piss drunk at 2 in the morning. And my friends and I, we've finished it, definitely, and we have destroyed that White Castle and you're actually going home. My dad passed away seven years ago and I haven't found the strength to go home since then. But I actually am going home next week for the first time in seven years. So I'm sure it's going to look a lot different than it did seven years ago.

Rich Davis (41:26)

Queensland. Nice man, Wilson. Have a good, have a good trip home. What's your thought, man? What are we sleeping on real quick?

Steve Covino (41:33)

So what's that?

Rich Davis (41:34)

What are we sleeping on?

Steve Covino (41:36)

The one sort of pick the freaking Mets over the Yankees. That is mind boggling. It is.

Rich Davis (41:42)

It's mind boggling. Thank you.

Steve Covino (41:43)

We're not sleeping on it.

Rich Davis (41:44)

It's mind boggling to people like you and Cavino that can believe someone would choose someone over the Yankees. Andrew in Rhode Island. What's up, Andrew? And thanks for the call, man.

Dan Patrick (41:54)

Hey, paisano.

Rich Davis (41:56)

What's up, man?

Steve Covino (41:57)

Oh, hey, how's it going, guys? What's up? Yeah, I would say for me, I would say one of the biggest things that, you know, we can go back in time is, you know, how a lot of people just kind of just underrated Steph Curry to where he was at that time in his development and, you know, all those ankle injuries and how a lot of people didn't think that he would have became what he became. And now look at him. And now the league is clinging on to him. LeBron, KD, all these older guys are about to be out the league and it's, it's going to be very interest.

Rich Davis (42:29)

I agree. But I think people did sleep on Steph Curry early on. I mean, listen, teams he wanted to play for passed on him. One more quickie, then we got to go. Travis in California. What's up, Travis?

Steve Covino (42:39)

Travis.

Rich Davis (42:39)

What's up, Travy? Hey, you know what, Rich?

Steve Covino (42:41)

One thing you can do with your daughter, you can do like my grandma used to do with me. Like pull me in a side room, be like, listen, I got you more presents than your cousins. Don't tell them, but here you go.

Rich Davis (42:49)

Maybe I'll do that. If I don't have time to go to Walmart or Target or anything, I'll.

Steve Covino (42:53)

Slip you a few bucks, a strawberry candy.

Rich Davis (42:55)

Honey, you got more than your brother. I want to put him aside for you, man.

Steve Covino (42:58)

You guys had great grandmas. My grandma would give me jelly packets. Like, come here, I got some jelly packets.

Rich Davis (43:04)

Hey, by the way, yeah.

Steve Covino (43:06)

I thought of two movies that people sleep on because everyone talks. Sixth Sense, Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon. Great movie. Great movie. Everybody slept on it. And Frequency with Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid. So good. Frequent. No one talks about it ever. Great movie. People sleep on it. Sleepers. People sleep on sleepers. So hey, if you have other answers, hit us up 87799 on Fox.

Rich Davis (43:29)

Welcome back to the show Covino and Rich. Steve COVINO From Union, NJ. Out here in the mean streets of LA. Live from the Bar E OSC live in the Valley.

Rich Davis (48:56)

Fatos Locos Forever Carnal.

Steve Covino (48:58)

Feliz Navidad. That's Rich Davis. You live in a condo? I do. That's Rich Davis. Nice street in la. It's an all right street. Rich Davis. Cavino and Rich celebrate 20 years of radio together. But we've been in the game for a long ass time. That's spotty. And we got J Stu here, got Mark hanging out and appreciate you being here. 87799 on Fox. Thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation. All we want for Christ is for you to follow our podcast. Just search Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast. Covino C O V I N O for free. We have a bonus pod too called over promised and we're gonna highlight some of that when we talk about the best Christmas sports toys growing up and best R rated Christmas movies. And stick around cause in about an hour. Plus Mike Tyson on the show. The Mike Tyson. We get his take on Fury and Usyk. But Mike Tyson, if you missed it will be on the show. And Rich to wrap up the Packers. It's a good place to be. I really think that you want people to sleep on you. You know, I feel like we're a show that people slept on. We've been doing this 20 years. You know, I feel like that's when, that's when you win because no one really took you that serious. Oleksandr Usyk, dude, he's been knocking people out his whole career. Now he's the the top dog in the heavyweight division. You know why people slept on him? Someone was talking Fury, everyone was talking Wilder, everyone was talking Joshua. No one's talking Usyk. Who's the best of them all, Oleksandr Usyk. So that might be the packers. When all said and done, might be them.

Rich Davis (50:34)

Maybe you don't want to, you know, come out the gate all hot. Maybe you want. Maybe you want to more of that slow burn. And listen, it happened last year. The packers clicked in the second half and the 49ers just got a couple lucky breaks here and there. Keep in mind the 49ers, who I think should have won the super bowl, they shouldn't have won two playoff games. They should have lost to the Lions, some bad calls by Dan Campbell. And the week before that, they got very lucky against the Green Bay Packers. So if anything, I'm a Niners fan. I'll tell you, Green Bay, I thought they were going to pick up where they left off last year. Which is why a lot of people in the industry, sports, the Collins of the world and other people, that's why Jordan Love got paid. That's why, you know, the big names like the Dan Patrick's, the Collins, the Stephen A's, that's why everyone was so high on the packers going into this year. And then because the Lions picked up where they left off. And Minnesota, out of nowhere, there are people at this company, we have a little sheet in the studio where people made predictions preseason. There were some people that picked the Vikings to be one of the worst in the league. They surprised everyone. I think by the Vikings surprising everyone, it took away from the Packers.

Steve Covino (51:43)

Can I tell you a movie that I saw recently that I'm like, people slept on this, dude. I'm about to say something bold. I got a Stephen A. I got a Rob Parker hot take right now.

Rich Davis (51:52)

Fugazi.

Steve Covino (51:53)

Seriously, this is a Rob Parker take for sure. And I say that respectfully because I love him.

Rich Davis (51:58)

What do you tell me? Bronnie's better than LeBron?

Steve Covino (51:59)

What do you. No, no, dude. I happened to watch the movie Troy recently with Brad Pitt. Good movie, dude, it's so good. Really good. I feel like I enjoy it better than Gladiator. Everyone's like, gladiator, man, Gladia, Gladiator. Glad. And don't get it twisted. Loved Gladiator. I watched Troy recently. I remember I watched it when it came out. I'm like, eh, whatever. It's not Gladiator, dude. I watched it recently and J. Stu just said, great movie, dude. So no one talks about that movie. Yeah, no one talks about it. No one talks about it. Slept on it.

Rich Davis (52:32)

Let me tell you something so good. I don't think I've ever seen it. See, I've seen Gladiator plenty of times.

Steve Covino (52:37)

That's what I bro. See, like certain things get hyped.

Rich Davis (52:40)

Speaking of the packers, who you're saying people are sleeping on their path once in the playoffs because you got to keep in mind there's going to be a Rams, maybe Seahawks, but likely a Rams team. And I think the Bucks will sneak in over the Falcons. I don't think those teams beat anyone from the NFC North. So I think you're looking at four teams and that's three NFC north teams. Lions, Packers, Vikings, oh my. And the Eagles. And then from that point on, I think all four of those teams. If you think you have an instinct, I think you're wrong. I think those four teams, anyone could come out of the nfc. We got more next Seeing off in for Dan Patrick.
