Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Thanksgiving, NFL, and the "Turkey Bowl"

• Covino & Rich are amped about the meaningful slate of NFL games on Thanksgiving, especially compared to past years when the games were largely “background noise.”
• Covino: “Who cares about the Thanksgiving Day parade? … The biggest story today, besides turkey ass and friends and family and being in your hometown and what am I going to wear to see the fam, is football, of course.” (05:43)
• Not just fans—this year, every Thanksgiving game has playoff implications, especially in the NFC North.

2. Lions vs. Packers: Playoff Stakes & The Window Closing

• Rich argues the game is, “do or die” for the Lions:
  • “Pay attention. Listen up. Hate to say this, Detroit Lions lose today—it’s over.” (05:43)
• Rich is obsessive about “schedule watching,” explaining how the rest of the Lions, Packers, and Bears’ seasons play out.
• Both agree: “The NFC north is stacked…this is their chance to do it. If not now, what? Another year? … It’s now or never.” (12:14)
• The Lions’ recent struggles on Thanksgiving are noted (losing 7 of last 8 turkey day games) (15:09).
• Covino points out the loss of Lions’ coordinators and injuries as huge hurdles: “It’s not like all of a sudden they woke up and they stink.” (14:15)

Schedule Analysis (Lions, Packers, Bears)

• Lions’ potential path: If they lose, a brutal schedule could push them out of playoff contention.
• Bears: Potential to play spoiler or finish strong.
• Packers: Still in it, but the next stretch will reveal their true identity.

3. The Art of “Schedule Crunching”

• Rich is relentless in where he thinks 11–6 is the magic NFC playoff number and that anything less, except for the likely 9–8 NFC South champ, is “not enough.” (17:34)
• “I love schedule watching. … I just really overanalyze the schedule. I’m the guy that looks ahead. Schedule watching. Yeah, I look way too far ahead on the schedule every week.” (07:09)

4. Thanksgiving Traditions & Family Dynamics

• The hosts riff on typical family chaos during the holidays, and how this year, fans might find it hard to pay attention to their relatives thanks to legit important football games.
• Traditional holiday distractions (“Tell me more about your cruise, Uncle Frank…”) versus all-eyes-on-the-TV urgency. (24:01)
• Covino: “It’s gonna be so hard to be engaged with your family that you never see when you’re really focused in on these games that matter for once.” (23:33)

5. Food Debates: Timing, Pizza Snobbery, and Overrated Sides

• Why do people eat Thanksgiving dinner at 3 pm? The hosts puzzle over this, noting it’s neither lunch nor dinner and is unique to the holiday (49:25).
• Covino: “That’s why the best thing to do is just show up.” (50:01)
• Regional pizza snobbery—East Coast vs. West Coast—sparks a passionate discussion. Rich laments that L.A. kids think Domino’s is what pizza’s supposed to taste like (35:02–39:47).
• Quote: “Domino’s is not Italian pizza. It’s junk food… I love Taco Bell, but I’m not telling you it’s Mexican food.” (35:58–36:22)
• Overrated Thanksgiving sides:
  1. Yams/Sweet potatoes
  2. Green bean casserole
  3. Cranberry sauce
     (52:21–53:47)
• Both hosts agree these sides are better than their reputation but admit that “it’s all in the execution,” especially for green bean casserole.

6. Pop Culture Sidebar: Stranger Things & Wicked

• The long-anticipated new season of Stranger Things launches, providing another generational talking point.
• Quick touch on Wicked and Thanksgiving weekend family-friendly TV recommendations upcoming (32:10).

[Rich Davis]

[Steve Covino]

Exactly. And who cares about the Thanksgiving Day parade? Watch us now. Like Rich said on YouTube, do you really care about the return of Felix.

[Rich Davis]

The Cat out there?

[Steve Covino]

You know, my kid out there knows Felix the Cat.

[Rich Davis]

Love, dude. My daughter wants to probably see the Labubu float or the Stranger Things float or what's the new one? The K Pop Demon Hunters.

[Steve Covino]

Well, Rich's head is equally as big. Tell them to watch. Pull that up on the TV and enjoy. So again, you also live chat on our YouTube page. Covino and Rich FSR. Covino and Rich FSR. But the biggest story today, besides turkey ass and friends and family and being in your hometown and what am I going to wear to see the fam is football, of course.

[Rich Davis]

I mean football, particularly in my opinion. Pay attention. Listen up. Hate to say this, Detroit Lions lose today. It's over.

[Steve Covino]

First and first. Mostly I want to say what action packed games we have for this day. And I'm great at just sitting there and watching people. I say, what's your role? What are you bringing? I'm bringing myself. I already brought myself from LA back to Jersey to see the family. And I sit there and lamp. I'm lime in the rest of the day. Watching tv, watching these games and man, Packers, Lions, Chiefs, Cowboys, Bengals, Ravens. Listen. Doesn't get much better than that.

[Rich Davis]

I know you think that you're just staying out of the way, but you're so unhelpful. Huh?

[Steve Covino]

I do nothing. Yeah, that's really my role. It's like my biggest role is how could I eat and not hate myself later on? Because yesterday I cracked. I coasted through the day yesterday knowing that Thanksgiving was today. I'm like, you know what, let me sort of eat, but not too much today. And by the end of the day, I cracked. And I ate everything in sight. It's almost impossible to eat healthy at mom's house or wherever you're going. Job today is to, is to eat, not hate myself and just not get up and watch some football. That's really it. And we got some great games. Dude, it's going to be really great to just be chilling, enjoying a drink, enjoying the holiday, being thankful and being thankful for these matchups.

[Rich Davis]

Well, let's, let's, let's dive in. No more dilly dally. No Lions, Packers. This, this game means so much more than we think. And you know, it's the backdrop of a holiday where you are sitting around with your stinky uncle who's probably going to, you know, arg about politics. At dinner later in the day, you're sitting there with your cousins and siblings and you know, it's a day of friends and family. But let's not forget this game is so significant. And I'll say it again if you didn't hear me, Lions lose today. I think they're out. In fact, I think they're out because I've been crunching the schedule. I love schedule watching. If you don't know Kavino and Rich, I just really overanalyze the schedule. I'm the guy that looks ahead. Schedule watching. Yeah, I look way too far ahead on the schedule every week. In fact, I'm guilty of it in every sport. Like some people sit back and just live in the moment.

[Steve Covino]

I think you've evolved it, though. You're no longer the schedule watcher, which I used to criticize you for, but I do feel the importance. You've. You've really convinced me to be more of a schedule watcher. And now you're the schedule cruncher. You like the captain Crunch of crunching the schedule.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's B.S. when athletes say, well, not, not so much B.S. but I don't buy it when they're like, yo, you know, we play today, we win today. That's, you know, you know, we're only worried about one game at a time. I get that sentiment, but it's human nature to be like, all right, well then what? Like you just said it before. Your daughter had her sweet 16 this past weekend. And by the way, happy birthday to her. You're the dad of a pain in the ass teenage daughter.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Steve Covino.

[Steve Covino]

True. Yes. And very, very expensive.

[Rich Davis]

But yes, you yourself were like, once I get past the sweet 16, then I got to worry about the holidays. Like, you're. We're all very stressful, dude.

[Steve Covino]

Y.

[Rich Davis]

Looking ahead as people. So I'm scheduled, watching it. I want to look at the Lions schedule and you tell me, you look me in the eyes in the alls. Tell me this isn't a pain in the ass schedule if you're a Lions fan. Because then I want to break down the NFC north and look at how difficult all three of these teams schedules are moving forward. Because we talked about it on our show. So if you listen to us on the daily in the afternoon, we talked about how the Lions, packers and Bears. Oh my, one of those teams is out. I'm convinced that the Seahawks and the Niners are both making the playoffs. The Seahawks have a cake schedule and they're. I think they're pretty Good. I'm a Niners fan, and I'm not being a homer when I say this. The Niners next two games, the Browns and the Titans. If the 49ers beat the Browns and the Titans, they're 10 and 4. And I'd argue they don't have to win one more game out of their final three. Go 11 and 6, you're in. The Lions, packers and Bears. Listen to these schedules. If the Lions lose today to Green Bay, first of all, Matt LaFleur is going to be sweating a little less because that guy could possibly be on the hot seat in green bay. Lions, 7 and 4, they lose today. They're 7 and 5, which is pedestrian, as they say. Then they got to play the Cowboys. And I said to Danny G. Before the show, Danny, we were like not sleeping on the Cowboys, but they're like, so just coasting through this season that the tie they had with the packers is so indicative of how I feel about them. They're so like, meh. But if they win today, if they upset the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas, not impossible at all.

[Steve Covino]

They changes their narrative a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, they'd be 6, 5 and 1. So why are we making it seem like they're completely at it? If they went on a run, Right. So they. The Lions would have to play the Cowboys next week. Then they play the Rams in la, who you could argue is the best team in the NFL. Then they play the Vikings and the Bears. And to me, I just think that the packers, if the packers beat the Lions today, you could see Dan Campbell and Jared Goff just feeling really like, wow, what a step backwards for a team that would you say for the last couple of years was. Everyone's like. Other than their own team was like, man, it's sort of nice to see the Lions good again. That story might be over.

[Steve Covino]

It's the most detrimental for the Lions. No question. No diggity. No doubt. The NFC north is stacked. We're going to see this all pan out and play out through the day. I think we need to start by saying, where were we with the Green Bay packers early in the season? Right. With Michael Parsons and everything. Very high on them. Let's keep that in mind and think about where we are today. The Lions, however. Here's how I see it, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, and they have to play the Steelers. That was the one game I forgot. But that's again, that's. That's like one of those, I don't know. Steelers.

[Steve Covino]

We were very high on the packers leading into this season. But we've been high on the Lions for like the past three years. And how much time do you really get in the NFL to really make that impact and really break through? You know, you're the guy. I got to quote Captain Crunch Rich Davis. Mmm. The Crunch Berries, the Soggies. You also say that there's only little windows in the NFL. And when you think about the Lions and Dan Campbell and Jared Goff, this is their chance to do it. If not now, what? Another year. You can give them another year to be dominant in the NFL, another year to be dominant in this ever changing NFC north, where you got the Bears who are looking legit. It's now or never. Like that old ESPN show we used to host. It's now. Or honestly, that's how I'm seeing it. And Jared Goff, he's 31, but he feels like he's 41. He feels like he's 30.

[Rich Davis]

You know why he feels older? Because he was straight up traded for Matthew Stafford. And we're like, what? Stafford 37? So what? Is Goff 37?

[Steve Covino]

No, that was.

[Rich Davis]

But it feels like it.

[Steve Covino]

It feels like it. And also feels like he's had his chance with the Lions. The Lions have come so close. They've played so tough. Right. They've proven to be like, we've criticized Dan Campbell and. And his rah rah attitude at first, and he proved to be that guy. And they proved to be that team to take chances. And they play tough and gritty, but they're not playing that same way this year. Seven and four. This is the weekend they have to turn it around. So when Rich and I agree, it's a fact. Lions have to beat the packers today at home. And if they don't, I'd have to say that little window that we're talking about, that little window of opportunity is definitely closing if it's not now.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, we talk about these little windows, and we want to assume that everyone's. Everyone peaks with a Super bowl appearance or win. Some teams peak and it's almost there, and that's the peak.

[Steve Covino]

Sometimes windows get jammed up, though, because Detroit lost their offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson.

[Rich Davis]

Without Ben Johnson, you could see that something's just not clicking right.

[Steve Covino]

Offensively, you hear that on radio and TV shows, but you also don't hear anyone mention anymore that they also lost their defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn, and then. So that hurts as well.

[Rich Davis]

Sam laporta.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Their center, Frank Ragnow, who is coming back now, retired, not coming back for them. And guard, they're one of their best guards signed with the Titans. So there is some context to this. It's not like all of a sudden they woke up and they stink.

[Rich Davis]

Well, that's what happens as you know, when a team, when a team is good and this happens in all sports, but especially the NFL. A team gets good. All of a sudden everyone wants to and deserves to get paid and you can't really keep that team fully intact anymore. If you're really good, you know what happens? Your offensive and defensive coordinator start to get opportunities to head coach. Other places your, your role players get the most money role players could get and your star players on the top of the tier for wide receiver, quarterback, tight end. So it's very hard to keep a dynasty together. And the Lions right now are at a very big crossroads today, Thanksgiving, where they've lost seven of their last eight Thanksgiving day games. Now I know they weren't really good for most of those years, but dude.

[Steve Covino]

This is such a big crossroads. I saw Bone Thugs in harmony just by by the way, I know it's not sexy football talk to talk about the line in the center, but we heard Isaac Lohenkron on our afternoon show yesterday talk about how Rag now is going to come out of retirement.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

The Lions could see him return against the Rams.

[Rich Davis]

Oh wow. So yeah, and he's a big deal. He was a four time Pro Bowler.

[Steve Covino]

Makes a big difference.

[Rich Davis]

And you know, we've seen it with certain players in the NFL. You see with Joe Alt for the Chargers, you lose or big Trent Williams for the Niners if one of your big linemen are down like a star player, that changes the whole complexity of.

[Steve Covino]

Like every just ask the Chargers, ask the Raiders.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So but again, we can't be surprised if it doesn't go the Lions way today. When you think about again how quick the narratives change and how high we were on the packers leading into the season. Right. So we're starting to see those things pan out. But I think we've made it clear. Fox Sports Radio Nation Dan patrick, Nation this is the biggest for the Lions right now. It's their time. They have to make it happen. They have to win today if they want to see the playoffs, if they want to make that impact. And we want to know what you think about the NFC North, Bears, Packers, Lions, Vikings, what do you think in 87799 on Fox we're telling you what we're thinking here.

[Rich Davis]

If you said Vikings and the funny part is like such a non factor but not really? You know why, though? Because the Vikings could very well be the team that F's up someone's little mission or goal. Like. Like, division games are never easy because these teams know each other. There's history, there's rivalries. Like, so what if the Vikings are the team that.

[Steve Covino]

Or what if. Rich, the Bears really are that good. Of all the teams that we speak of, they're the ones you sleep on the Most. And they're 8 and 3, and they're the ones that have been consistently better and better every week. I don't want to sound like a broken record record, but on our show, I'm telling you, they're like a stock that just keeps going up. They're just going up and looking better every week.

[Rich Davis]

The Bears are what. What happens when a plan works out the way you think it will? Like, all right, we're going to get Ben Johnson, and he. What he's going to do is he's going to, you know, really be an asset to Caleb Williams, and you'll see. And it's working out the way they wanted. Chicago crap never works out that way, but is working out perfectly. But, you know, dare I look at the schedule just a little more?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, here we go.

[Rich Davis]

The Rich loves to look at the schedule game. I love looking at the schedule. And I'm sorry if it's a pain in the ass to you, but let me break something down because I said The Lions are 7 and 4. They have a tough road ahead. They could go 5 hundo the rest of the way. And I don't know if that's enough because we've talked about how in the NFC, I think 11, 6 is that magic record that will get you into the postseason. I think 10, 7 will not make the playoffs except for the winner of the NFC south, which is probably going to be like the Bucks at 9 and 8 or something. I know we're still a little while away. I don't want to look too much ahead, but here I am getting down on the Lions. I want to hear from you guys. Dan Patrick, Dan at nation, because I feel like you could make that same argument that if.

[Danny G]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

Well, if the packers lose today, they're 7, 4 and 1. They have to play the Bears twice. They have to play the Ravens and. And the Broncos. The Ravens fighting for their division. The Broncos, one of the best AFC teams. So you can see the packers falling apart, and there's this weird sentiment that, you know, six weeks ago, we're like, man, they got Micah Parsons. This team's the team to beat. And then all of a sudden, they played average. Jordan loves, had some good moments, but I think we also want to just believe that, man, the packers are a quarterback machine. Like, they go from, you know, Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers and then Jordan Love. Like, like, are we, like, too quick to think Jordan loves in that progression? Like, hold up, maybe not. I don't know. And then your Bears, your Bears people.

[Steve Covino]

Have been saying, who are the packers and their identity issues are? With that schedule coming up, you're going to find out real quick who they really are because that's competitive.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's, let's do the Bears schedule and then we'll take your feedback at 877-99-FOX. Appreciate it if you're listening on the app. If you're on your way to Grandma's, drive it around. 877-99-ON FOX. Kavino and Rich, try to keep it as interactive as possible. Love filling in for Dan Patrick. I'll give you the Bears final six games. Now, I don't, I don't want to be a pain in the ass and make you do this, but I'm going to.

[Steve Covino]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

They play tomorrow on Black Friday in arguably their biggest game of the year because they're eight and three. A test of all tests. They go to Philadelphia. Let's say the Eagles win. Little. Little. Maybe, maybe you could argue, hey, it's a close game, but we'll give experience and home field to the Eagles tomorrow. And that's how, that's how you may look at it or what? Eagles are favored by seven. I thought that would be like three and a half or so. Seven there.

[Steve Covino]

So Vegas say the Bears win and they're nine and three.

[Rich Davis]

Let's be negative Norbertos for a second. Just say, let's be negative Nancy's. Let's say, let's say the Eagles just outclass them.

[Steve Covino]

Okay.

[Rich Davis]

Now they're 8 and 4. They play two games against the Packers. Still, let's say they split those games, right? Nine and five. You one loss, one win.

[Danny G]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

A little push. They beat the Browns. Now they're 10 and 5. They play the 49ers and the Lions. Wow. One in one. So they may end 11 and 6. Like 11 and 6, I think is a conservative. I think that's fair to say. Right. Because the Niners are gonna schedule.

[Steve Covino]

Not easy either. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So I think today. So I'll stick by my original feeling that whoever loses today, packers or Lions.

[Danny G]

Out.

[Steve Covino]

Ouch. Whoever loses today, I'm Pretty sure Danny G. Agrees. I think the whole show agrees that it's most important for the Lions right now.

[Rich Davis]

I hate to say it because again, I think all these teams are fun. But you know what threw everyone for a loop? The NFC west having three teams that are going to have double digit wins. Because I thought. I think a lot of people thought that the 49ers would either struggle if people were hurt and they've actually. Kyle Shanahan's out coached the world. The Rams are really good. No one thought they'd be that good. I mean, Matthew Stafford's been as healthy as could be in the. Cool was the only guy banged up for a little bit and he's back. And the Seahawks, that, that team, like, if we're trying to figure out their identity, how about their identity is just that they're really good and Sam Darnold's playing like a G. Like that team surprised the hell out of me. So I think because the NFC west had the weakest out of conference schedule, out of division schedule, they're all double digit win teams. A lot of tough games for the NFC North. So one of those three powerhouse teams is out. And I think, I think it's very clear that whoever loses today, A is not going to get a turkey leg. And they're not. And they're. And then no turkey ass.

[Steve Covino]

That's the best part.

[Rich Davis]

So whoever loses today, Jared Goff might be walking away without turkey ass and without a playoff spot.

[Steve Covino]

You know what the toughest part is that you're saying all this. You're getting me excited.

[Danny G]

Right?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Rich, great job crunching numbers, crunching schedule.

[Rich Davis]

I just love watching.

[Danny G]

I know.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I don't care about the parade today. I'm not even caring that much about the turkey ass. I am really caring about these games. And that's what we're trying to do. Get you pumped about it and trying to see what you think about it.

[Rich Davis]

Think of how many years. Think of how many years we watched a meaningless like Bears, Lions, Thanksgiving game just because it was tradition and they were both under 500. Today we have games of significance and that is because usually it's like, oh, background football. We love it. It's Thanksgiving. We actually have games that are worthy of paying attention to.

[Steve Covino]

But dude, get this. I'm so glad you said that.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, Timmy, no breaks. Get this.

[Steve Covino]

Games that you want to pay attention to. Because why? Usually it's just background fun while you're stuffing your face and chatting it up with Uncle Bart. Right. If Uncle Fred and Your little Uncle.

[Rich Davis]

Bart's already drunk at lunchtime.

[Steve Covino]

No, but you got your little nieces and nephews and family there, right? It's kind of hard to really chop it up and pay attention to whatever nonsense they're yapping about when you're so glued on these games that matter for once. It's gonna be so hard to be engaged with your family that you never see when you're really focused in on these games. Yeah, your uncle. Your Uncle Fred and Aunt Fanny are like. And you're like, yeah, yeah, Uncle Frank.

[Rich Davis]

Tell me more. You'd say you went on a cruise. Where'd you go? Okay. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, wow.

[Rich Davis]

Royal Royal Caribbean Carnival.

[Announcer]

What?

[Rich Davis]

You. Oh, sounds great. Oh, so. Oh, you met another couple on the cruise from. Oh, that's. Tell me more.

[Steve Covino]

You are not going to care about anything anyone's saying today. Good luck trying to pay attention to that when you got these games.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on, Cousin Al, wait. Oh, you got new pavers in your driveway. Tell me more.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, it's gonna be not. You're not gonna care one bit.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not gonna give a sh. So schnikes about it.

All right, Covino and Rich in for Dan Patrick. Good morning. Happy Thanksgiving. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Danny G. Rich Davis Ramsey spots on the videos Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. Join the live chat Covino and Rich FSR I'm out here in Jersey, bro. Dirty Jersey. And it's so tough, Rich, because like I said, I cracked last night.

[Rich Davis]

Don't they put gabagool on their turkeys in Jersey?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, we put some fresh mozzarella and.

[Steve Covino]

We dip it in gravy. Oh, but tomato sauce gravy.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Rich. Yeah, I had about 14 slices of pizza yesterday. You know, you're in Jersey, you have to have pizza. And now I hate myself and the day hasn't even started yet.

[Steve Covino]

And before you know, I fell asleep yesterday rubbing my belly from all the pizza. And I'm gonna do the same thing tonight with all the fixins and all the turkey and everything else. I did watch a little bit, a little bit of the Stranger Things that debuted. Stranger Things Season 5 debuted.

[Rich Davis]

You know who did a pretty. I'll give him some love. Our buddy KFC from barstool. Yeah, he did like a three minute. Where are we at right now on Stranger Things?

[Steve Covino]

I have no idea.

[Rich Davis]

And started watching and dude, I watched his recap. I watched Netflix recap and I'm still like where elevens with and the. The original. The vectors. The original kid001 I don't. I'm gonna watch at some point.

[Steve Covino]

This show should have ended two seasons ago, bro.

[Rich Davis]

The kids are like 40 years old now. Yeah, it really is weird. Fixated on it to watch some football. Maybe Planes, Trains and Automobiles tonight. Maybe the new Kevin Hart comedy special that's out. But I don't know.

[Steve Covino]

No, but I'll tell you firsthand. We're buzzing about the NFC North. We made our CNR proclamation that the Lions have to win. It's the most important for them. So excited to watch it today. I'll be laying there again lamping. I'll be lying around watching the Lions. But the buzz is real for Stranger Things because the younger kids feel like they grew up with these kids. So my. My daughter, who's a teenage pain in the ass, I thought she was sort of over it, but she was like live watching with her friends. Like they were all chatting together.

[Rich Davis]

I like start the episode now.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly, dude. Exactly. So it was kind of wild for me to see their excitement. I'm like, oh, wow, you guys still.

[Rich Davis]

Care about nerdy kid. All the girls like, like Rod Wolfhard or something like that. What is it it Hard Wolf Rod. Hard Wolf Rod.

[Commercial Voice]

What?

[Steve Covino]

I think. I think that's his name. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

What's his name? What's up? He has like a name that sounds like a porn star. Like Hard Wolf Rod.

[Steve Covino]

That's it. I think you nailed it. But like, their excitement was real.

[Rich Davis]

Rob Wolf.

[Steve Covino]

I fell asleep because I'm like, I'm not that. I'll watch another day.

[Rich Davis]

Finn Wolfhard. Oh, Finn Wolfhard. Thank you, Spot.

[Steve Covino]

So I'm just throwing it out there that aside from all the great football, there is the buzz of the return of not only Stranger things, but Wicked weekend. So have a wicked weekend. Enjoy Wicked. I'll be seeing Wicked tomorrow. Finally. I'm hearing lots of great things about that. So lots of things going on.

[Rich Davis]

Wicked's fantastic. You got some great TV and of course, the best Thanksgiving football games. And I don't want to sound like I'm hosting the Bachelor, but it's the best Thanksgiving games ever. It really is, like, best season ever. As far as, like, you have significance. It's usually. Honestly, think about it. It's usually like Cowboys versus a team that doesn't matter. Or like I said, it's usually some bunk. Lions stink versus the Bears, who stink. It's on in the background and you're watching because you love football. These games matter a lot. Even tonight matters a lot. You got Joe Burrow. There's people that are like, why is he even playing versus a Ravens team that if they win and keep winning that like, they went from one and five, they're going for six in a row. Honestly, two reasons.

[Steve Covino]

One is his job. Number two, for the fans, dude, I mean, come on. I think that's obvious why he's playing. I think he has to get his groove back. There's so many reasons as to why he needs to play. But I bring up Wicked and I bring up stranger things. Rich, just to let you know that coming up later this hour and throughout the show, we're going to start talking about family friendly things that we need to watch over the holiday weekend. So just start thinking about that. We'll explain. But go ahead. Back to you.

[Rich Davis]

I had a pizza question question before I went back to football. Not a question, more of a take. A disappointing observation.

[Steve Covino]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

I grew up on the east coast and I know Dan Patrick got a lot of affiliates on the east coast. What's up, everyone?

[Steve Covino]

Me, you, Spotty. We all grew up in the East Coast. Danny G. Is the only resident LA guy.

[Rich Davis]

Now, I'll say this, I know so many of our affiliates are on the east side. When I was a kid, you'd order pizza and. And my theory is this. And this is fact. And Spot, I feel like you could back me up. You two cove. If pizza's good, you don't need toppings. You'd get a plain pie. You might get a grandma pie or Sicilian. The thicker crust and you become a pizza snob. It's so disappointing out here when I'm in LA and I had like my son's baseball end of year party at my house the other day and all the kids are like, Domino's I'm like, you kids have terrible gauge of what good pizza is. Like, I don't know. Domino's is great junk food pizza, it got better. But I'll give you the analogy.

[Steve Covino]

But it's not real.

[Rich Davis]

I love Taco Bell, but I'm not telling you. It's Mexican food. I love Taco Bell. I love a gordita crunch. I love a steak wrap. I love Taco Bell. But that would be like me saying, guys, you know my favorite Mexican food is Taco Bell. You'd punch me in the face. Domino's is not, not Italian pizza. It's not pizza, it's junk food. It's like I'm drunk.

[Steve Covino]

No, it's fast food pizza. I think we know that, right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's like I'm at my kid's birthday party or end of season baseball party. But I'm just so disappointed that kids out here, they don't know any better. Like they don't know like.

[Steve Covino]

Well that's their parents fault then. Cause my kids know Round Table.

[Rich Davis]

But even the place you like poppers, that's a. Oh, are you.

[Steve Covino]

Stop it. No, that's not real pizza, Donnie.

[Rich Davis]

Danny. It's not real pizza. I'm sorry to tell you. I'm sorry to tell you. Like, sorry. I know.

[Steve Covino]

Danny. You guys like like the cheese falling off the table. Guys, stop. It's getting personal. Yeah, Grease coming out your pores. No, no, no. Your hands and your face are orange after you eat your pizza. Danny.

[Rich Davis]

There's like, there's like one place. There's one place here in la. Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn. Brooklyn Pizza Wagon, whatever it's called. Spot. I always forget their names.

[Steve Covino]

Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn.

[Rich Davis]

Pizza Wagon to Brooklyn. And you know what, Spot, the place down the block too, that Danny, we.

[Steve Covino]

Mulberry Street.

[Danny G]

Mulberry Street.

[Rich Davis]

There's a couple good ones, but I'm just saying.

[Steve Covino]

And isn't it Wolf Hard Rod's Pizza Wagon?

[Rich Davis]

What? Wolf Hard Rod. So my point is regionally I just want to let it be known that people outside of Connecticut, New York, you know, Jersey, they kids think like Domino's is good pizza.

[Steve Covino]

Dude. I posted a full on pie that I pretty much ate myself on my Instagram store. If you want to see a real pizza slice from New Jersey, if you want to see a real piece of.

[Danny G]

Right.

[Steve Covino]

Plain pizza pie.

[Rich Davis]

A pizza pie.

[Steve Covino]

I was hanging out with my guy Pete last night. Pete Zapai. Steve Covino.

[Rich Davis]

Keep that dad joke to yourself. What's up, Ramsey? How are you, man? Steve Covino Are you saying you have no place in your heart for pizza adjacent?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, I do.

[Rich Davis]

Like, if it's.

[Steve Covino]

If I go to.

[Rich Davis]

It serves the purpose of pizza. Yes. You serve it to the kids and to your friends. It's pizza. Agreed. But I, as a New Yorker, felt. Felt good. You can pull the New York car. Thank you very much, bro. Honestly, Ramsey, I know it sounds douchey.

[Steve Covino]

Arrogant, but as a new sounding extra pizza. Ompus pizza. Very pompous about your pizza as a New Yorker.

[Rich Davis]

We had our. My son's pony ball end of the year party at our house. I, you know, I ordered a couple food plates, you know, a nice spread of food. I had the charcuterie for the parents. Classy chips and candy for the kids. And I was like, all right, what all right, kids, what do you want? And the kids like dominoes. And I'm like, oh, you're little brainless buffoons.

[Steve Covino]

I know, but it's like when you want Taco Bell, it's the same thing, Rich. It doesn't mean that's authentic Mexican food, because we could be snobs out here on the west coast about our Mexican food. The real Mexican food, the street tacos.

[Rich Davis]

So trust me, I get, you know, the dude that does the. He cuts the. The tacos in front of you. What is that the spot? What meat is that?

[Danny G]

What?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, is it pastor?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, the pastor. And they do a little pineapple on top. I get that when I can because that's authentic street tacos from a dude set up with. With string lights and a little table in la. That's Mexican food. I get that. Again, that would be like me saying, you know, taco, but I got a gordita crunch. Guys, I love Mexican food. But anyway, that's it. I digress. But Camino, I saw your pizza on your Instagram story, and it got me thinking that that's pizza.

[Steve Covino]

No. Yeah. How's the whole thing, man? So we're going to be eating. Speaking of food radio.

[Rich Davis]

Everyone's going to be eating today, dude.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no. But here's the debate. It's not about turkey. It's about when and what time do you eat and your wildly overrated size. And by the way, you're watching us. My pizza from last night.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, look at that. That's a pie. Danny. Look at that.

[Steve Covino]

You see that little missing slice? That's what I left for the rest of my family. See that little missing spot? I ate the rest of it. That's party cut. That's what they offer you at the office. Damn.

[Rich Davis]

All right, well, you know what? Let me, let me, let me set this up and then we'll take all your feedback. Let's get interactive. Let's get the phones rolling. Let's get the feedback. 877-99-ON FOX. Covino Enrichen for Dan Patrick. I saw an article and it said, don't even waste your time making these three Thanksgiving sides because no one deep down inside likes them. What do you think those unlikable sides are? Because truthfully, I saw all three of these and I'm like, they're all, all those are make my plate. So we'll talk about overrated sides. And it sort of goes along with the list that Jake Paul came out with that's getting some buzz on social media. Jake Paul came out with his overrated athlete list. So we'll talk overrated athletes, overrated food. We'll chop it up, have some fun little casual show in for DP Thanksgiving right here, Kavino and Rich.

Speaking of which, Spot replaced your live video with just a picture of a nice New Jersey pizza. Can we keep it that way? I look at that honestly, I'll look.

[Steve Covino]

At this for the next three hours. You might as well. It was great. I had that last night. So I'm all ready today. Now, Rich, we're going to talk talk food right now. So welcome to Fat Guy Radio. Covino and Rich well, I do want.

[Rich Davis]

To point out one more and we're going to get to way more NFL stuff, but our buddy Drew Mack and his beautiful family listening in Nashville this morning.

[Steve Covino]

Hey guys.

[Rich Davis]

And what's up, Drew Mack? He said, yo, for real guys, you ain't kidding. Good football today.

[Steve Covino]

He goes.

[Rich Davis]

I even find that Cowboys Chiefs game super intriguing because both of those teams are trying to fight for their way into the playoffs. Cowboys are five, five and one, Chiefs are six and five. So usually Thanksgiving. I'll say it one last time. Usually it's more about tradition. Like all the Cowboys are playing and all the Lions are playing. Oh, and there's a night game. Every game today has significance. There's no BS like 3 and 17 against some 4 and 16. Oh, by the way, you know, like.

[Steve Covino]

Speaking of the Cowboys game, don't, don't forget that Post Malone's performance today because that'll be fun to watch.

[Rich Davis]

And isn't Jack White performing at the Lions? Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Jack White's performing. So some good performances. On a side note, you know, that's always part of the fun.

[Rich Davis]

Who doesn't want. Now what do you rather nothing or do you got a Post Malone and you got a.

[Steve Covino]

You know, you made me think of that. Because usually that's what we're sort of tuning into because the games didn't matter that much and. Yeah, man, kind of forgot about that. Give me a time to the focus right now.

[Rich Davis]

Can you give me a timestamp to see how time is flying?

[Steve Covino]

What? That legendary Creed performance, that was 2000, I believe.

[Rich Davis]

No, not that one.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, can you take me higher?

[Rich Davis]

No, not that.

[Steve Covino]

I think that was like 25 years ago.

[Rich Davis]

For real, in my mind. Dolly Parton was last year. Or was it like two or three years ago?

[Steve Covino]

When was two years ago?

[Rich Davis]

Two years ago?

[Steve Covino]

I think so, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Remember Dolly Parton came out. Everyone's like, whoa, hold up, wait a minute. Dolly Parton's like 80 and looks great. What?

[Steve Covino]

But the point is the games actually matter where we're not even talking about that like two years ago. Those are big performances, so enjoy them.

[Danny G]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

This article I read, I thought it was interesting enough to bring up on the DP show because everyone's. Honestly, as we speak, someone might be listening on their AirPods, making some fixes.

[Steve Covino]

Well, dude, you know what the other part of the story is that's kind of interesting? There was a survey or study that said the average time that American families start eating is around 3 o'. Clock. And that in itself is a little interesting to me.

[Rich Davis]

I never got it. You know what? Maybe you and I are just both in agreement, but maybe everyone else disagrees with us. I can't understand why every day you might have dinner at 6 or 7 o'. Clock. I understand. Like you might have a Sunday dinner with the family at 5 or something. You know, if you have older family members. My dad, I Know, people love to eat early. Older people are like, five o'.

[Steve Covino]

Clock.

[Rich Davis]

Anytime I go away with my dad, a little weekend trip, I go visit my folks. I can't be the only one whose dad's like, oh, five o'.

[Steve Covino]

Clock.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, that's a little early for dinner. Let's compromise. I'll eat dinner at 8. You want 5, 6, 30. I don't get why the one day of the year we all Decide dinners at 3 o'.

[Danny G]

Clock. What are we doing?

[Rich Davis]

I don't get.

[Steve Covino]

I don't get that. To me, that's way too early.

[Rich Davis]

Is it because we're combining lunch and dinner and then people are just slobs and can't wait? Like, I don't think you can't just pick at appetizers in the afternoon and have dinner at a reasonable hour.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, by the way, and can I point out, like, you know, I'm visiting family. I'm home, my hometown for Thanksgiving. Like, the stress involved with your mom and dad and your family, like, my mom is. So I just went downstairs a little while ago and my mom is so stressed out about getting everything ready and all the fixings and all the signs for the family. Like, the stress involved is so hilarious, bro. That's why I just show up, man. I'm telling you. That's why the best thing to do is just show up.

[Rich Davis]

You know, the only stress is just making sure you don't f up the turkey because that, that could happen, right? Like, like you'd be a Clark Griswold and burn the, you know, burn the turkey. You could, you could, A lot could go wrong. Wrong. My wife and I, for the first time were putting our turkey on the green egg. We're doing a little, a little slow cook. We're doing the.

[Steve Covino]

Well, if you're slow cooking, you might want to start earlier. I don't know. Colin in Canada says it's the taste of freedom. You got to start drinking early. He says early dinner. Early dinner. So you can start boozing early. That's why. So you can get the boozing going earlier. That's what they're saying here on the Live Chat. Covino and Rich fsr, I think you.

[Rich Davis]

Could drink more and not feel bad about it if you disguise it as like, oh, it's a holiday cocktail maybe.

[Steve Covino]

So, hey, enjoy your three o' clock dinner. Yeah, we'll, we'll probably be eating around five, I would imagine.

[Rich Davis]

Let me, let me say, I saw an article and this goes along with Jake Paul, who put out A list of who he thought the most overrated athletes of all time were. And. Oh, it's. It's funny because it's controversial. I did see something that said, there's three overrated Thanksgiving sides. And the headline said something like, don't even waste your time making these because no one likes them. And I'm like, really?

[Danny G]

No.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, all right, yams.

[Steve Covino]

Can I get to the yams?

[Rich Davis]

Sweet, sweet, sweet yams. Danny G. With the marshmallows on top. That's not.

[Steve Covino]

No, I like it. But my wife Brenda yesterday said, I didn't even bother with yams because no one really eats it. And I'm like, yeah, hello. I do.

[Rich Davis]

Am I. Am I confusing yet? Like, aren't you thinking with the marshmallow on top? Or is that sweet potato? Same thing.

[Steve Covino]

Sweet potato casserole you're thinking of. Yams are just, like, chunks of sweet potato covered in, like, brown sugar.

[Rich Davis]

It's still good, but it's not like.

[Steve Covino]

The casserole you're thinking of.

[Rich Davis]

Well, the second one on the list, we get a casserole. Another thing that I'm okay with once a year on Thanksgiving, green bean casserole does crispy onions on top. You're not. You're not taking a scoop of that. It's really good.

[Steve Covino]

I'm eating that again. I don't know if there's just holiday spirit in the air or what holiday vibes, but when rich. And I agree, as as far fact, I'm not hating on either one of these. I mean, they're not my favorite by any means, but I'm not passing on them. It's all an execution, though. A lot of people make it where.

[Rich Davis]

It tastes like slop.

[Steve Covino]

You gotta, like, step up your green bean game. So it has a little bit of, like, stability to it.

[Rich Davis]

You don't want it to look like prison, right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, you gotta make it look good and taste good.

[Rich Davis]

And the last one is cranberry sauce, but I think that's like a little. You gotta grab a little scoop or a little slice out of the can, though. In the can.

[Steve Covino]

I get it.

[Rich Davis]

You love it in the can, though, don't you?

[Steve Covino]

No, no. That's what I heard. No, no and no and no.

[Danny G]

No.

[Rich Davis]

You hear it. Okay. All right, we got more CNR in for DP next right here. Hang tight. Happy Thanksgiving. This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Football is back. That means it's tailgate time.
