Episode Overview

This hour of “The Dan Patrick Show,” hosted by Covino and Rich, dives into two core themes: modern collectibles in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), and the annual NFL tradition of quarterbacks gifting their offensive linemen—spotlighting this year’s standout gifts and the thought (and sometimes, the practicality) behind them. The hosts blend humor and nostalgia, peppering their sports talk with personal stories, pop culture references, and interactive moments.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Ever-Changing NFL: Hot Takes and Unpredictability

• NFL predictions are constantly proven wrong as the season unfolds.
  • Example: “Two months ago, people were talking about a possible Baker Mayfield–Daniel Jones Super Bowl. That storyline’s ancient history now!” – Rich (04:13)
• The unpredictability of the NFL means “nobody has it right.”
  • “It’s fun to see, fun to watch, fun to be wrong, I guess.” – Covino (06:09)

---

2. Collectibles in the AI Era

• The Hosts’ Story: Covino shares a story about his girlfriend’s family using AI (ChatGPT) to scan old coins and currency, seeing if anything's valuable.
  • “You just lay out all the dollar bills, all the coins, take group Snapshots, throw it through ChatGPT. It’s scanning serial numbers, checking for serious value…” – Covino (09:23)
• Modern Trends: AI can also identify flowers, assess house features, help estimate costs—technology is rapidly changing how we interact with the material world.
  • “I think AI is scary and amazing.” – Rich (11:04)
• Sports Collectibles:
  • Most “are worthless unless authenticated”; getting collectibles graded costs money, and that’s where real value lies.
    • “I learned that from your dudes on the collectible shows. All these things, Chumbley's gonna give you a dollar.” – Rich (11:48)
  • Even seemingly valuable items (old baseball cards, coins) have little value if not verified, not in good condition, or not rare.
  • “You might have a Mickey Mantle, but if it’s not graded, it’s not really worth anything.” – Rich (15:18)
  • Covino suggests AI could soon scan and price sports memorabilia the way it does coins and currency.

Notable Quote

• “Just run some of these things through ChatGPT... you might be sitting on a goldmine, or you’ll just clean out the clutter.” – Covino (12:46)

---

3. Regional Collectibles: Nostalgia & Value

• Hess Trucks: The East Coast tradition of holiday Hess trucks is addressed with a humorous take on their supposed long-term value.
  • “My parents made me feel like that was gonna—boy, you’re gonna pay for college with your Hess trucks!” – Rich (12:46)
• Regional Gas Station Brands: Covino and Rich riff on which gas stations are known in different US regions, wavering between nostalgia and the reality that, outside of rare items, most collectibles are not worth much.

---

4. AI, AR, and Collectibles: The Near Future

• Imagining a future with AR glasses that identify valuable objects in real time.
  • “I wonder if you could put this through your meta glasses... so you could see things of value? ... So you know what to steal—er, I mean, what you have!” – Covino (17:26)

---

5. Quarterbacks’ Gifts to Linemen: Tradition and Evolution

• Overview: It’s a long-standing NFL tradition for QBs to gift the offensive line at year’s end (and around the holidays).
  • “You got to take care of people that take care of you. That’s just true in life.” – Covino (18:38)
• Classic Story: Dan Marino’s Isotoner gloves started the public QB-gift tradition in the 1980s.
  • “Was that the first time a quarterback was like, I’ve got an endorsement—here, linemen, I’m going to give you gloves?” – Rich (30:27)
• Modern Gifts:
  • Vary from custom watches, ATVs, and even unique items like samurai swords and dinosaur fossils (Joe Burrow), to luxury bags, golf carts, and high-end tech.

Notable Quote

• “What do you get a wealthy person, right? ... while people might laugh at Joe Burrow getting fossils and samurai swords, that’s something you wouldn’t have got on your own.” – Rich (29:40)

6. Josh Allen’s Lineman Gift – The Most Practical of All?

• Gift: Each Bills lineman got a quarter of a premium wagyu cow (cuts included filet, skirt steak, ground beef, and more)—plus an infrared grill.
• Reactions: Linemen loved it, finding it far more practical than a sword or a collectible.
  • “We are so grateful to Haley and Josh. They’re the sweetest people ever. This is such a good, functional gift...” – Alicia Monet, wife of Bills lineman Alec Anderson (36:12)
  • “It’s probably super high quality cuts. Yeah, it’s awesome. No one’s going to complain about that.” – Covino (37:28)
• Hosts’ Verdict: The perfect blend of practicality and thoughtfulness, tailored to the recipients' lifestyles.

---

Memorable Moment

• “Josh Allen gave what some are calling the most functional, most useful gift of all—quarter primo premium meat and an infrared grill.” – Rich (34:45)

---

7. Debate: Do Free/Sponsored Gifts Count Less?

• Does it matter if a QB gets gifts for free through endorsements?
  • “What if Mahomes, who is such a face of the NFL... everything in his gift bag was from sponsors? Does that matter to you?” – Rich (39:46)
  • “No, good for him for using his contacts wisely... it’s the thought that counts.” – Covino (40:01)

[Covino]

Wonderful time of the year.

[Rich]

And also a wonderfully busy one.

[Covino]

All that merriment can weigh down even Santa's sleigh. So keep it wonderful by keeping yourself.

[Rich]

Wonderful with a crisp, cold Coca Cola. Ah, pause for fizzy joy. Look out for yourself and then look out for everyone else.

[Covino]

And together we'll make this season as wonderful as it's meant to be.

[Rich]

Enjoy a Coca Cola refresh your holidays. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. All right. Hey, sit down, everyone.

[Covino]

Relax.

[Rich]

Relax.

[Covino]

Hey, that's us. Relax. I've been doing a lot of relaxing during the gooch of the holidays.

[Rich]

Oh, yes, the old taint. You know what I watched last night, by the way? That's Cavino. I'm Rich, in for the great Dan Patrick. And by the way, you can watch everything you see. Just makes it more fun. And if you're sitting at home on your ass, you know, with a couple of days off, throw us on YouTube.com @covino and Rich FSR. It'll be your after holiday re gift to us.

[Covino]

Read the copy, Rich. The copy says CR Enormous Noggins. As we saw guest right now on the YouTube channel head. Covino and Rich FSR. Covino and Rich FSR. And the chat is popping.

[Rich]

All right, how about this?

[Covino]

Chime in.

[Rich]

How about this? Yeah. You said enormous head. Danny G in the coffee noggins.

[Covino]

Cotton headed Nini.

[Rich]

Danny G. Thinks we're Ron Burgundy. He always throws things in like that. Enormous heads. How about this? You want a Cavino Rich Nerf Turbo football? If you know the movie I just quoted, first person through at 87799 on Fox wins a Covino Rich Nerf Turbo Football. I'm feeling generous. The quote again. You said a Norse head. I said head move. That's all I'm giving you. What movie? I feel like you don't know Kavino.

[Covino]

I do.

[Rich]

Oh, you do. Okay.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Big Mike, who runs this place, I think he knows. Yes. Yes. All right, so I want to bring up one.

[Covino]

I don't like the movie. I think it's a little overrated. I like the actor that says it.

[Rich]

All right, well, before we get to Josh Allen's meat, which I know you've been waiting for. What does that mean? I do want to point out the crazy nature of the week to week hot takes in football that we all fall victim to. I was just talking to Big Mike who runs this place. Who? And we're joking about how rewind two months. You, me, everyone, DP Colin, you know, the odd couple. All you know on espn, Stephen A. Everyone was saying that it's a possibility of a Baker Mayfield Daniel Jones Super Bowl. That was at one point is storyline. So just to show you how long an NFL season is and how much could change so quickly.

[Covino]

That's why you got to say as of right now. Yeah.

[Rich]

Because there was a point.

[Covino]

Take those sound bites and make fun of it.

[Rich]

Yeah, there was a point. Where do you idiots were saying like, man, should the Niners consider Mac Jones instead of Brock Purdy? Then you see Brock Purdy the other day.

[Covino]

In all fairness, we didn't have the second half of the season to discuss. You know, that's all you had. So at that moment. But yeah, it's, it's a matter of how quickly things change and the tale of two seasons, especially for the Colts.

[Rich]

And you know, especially the unpredictability of every season going into it. Even like we have that sheet in the studio where all the producers, all the behind the scenes people, everyone and the hosts fill out a who's going to make the Super Bowl? Who's representing the AFC and nfc. You look down that list that's laminated in the Fox Sports Radio building, do you know how many Lions and Ravens I see half of the picks are one, you know, the Lions or the Ravens representing the NFC or afc. And you know, there's a very good chance both those teams don't even make the postseason. So a lot could happen in one season to the next.

[Covino]

It's been fun to see, fun to watch, been fun to be wrong, I guess. But yeah, nobody has it right. No one could have have foreseen this season to be what it is. And we're head. All right, we'll take your calls. 87799 on Fox. We will talk Josh Allen's meat real quick. We were talking collectibles. We talked panini. America, Rich, everybody's doing different things during the ain't quite of the holidays. The taint of the holidays ain't quite Christmas, ain't quite New Year's yet. Hey, Rich, get this before we get back into football, get this. I'm at my girlfriend's place in Idaho, right? And their grandma left like all these old coins and all these old two dollar bills and rare dollars and silver certificates and things like that, right? You know, grandmas collect those things. You know what to do with them. Did you know you could just take pictures, like group pictures of it on AI on ChatGPT and it'll scan it and tell you if it's worth anything. I'm wondering, like, can you do that with collectibles and sports collectibles? Like if you have a 1958 Hank Aaron and it's all bent up, are you able to like put it through AI and be like, hey, AI Chat GPT, is this worth anything?

[Rich]

I do, bro, I want to talk about a and I say let's just get this winner out the way. Let's say how to Colton in Utah, he thinks. Is Colton in a rush?

[Covino]

He couldn't wait two seconds.

[Rich]

I want to get this out of the way because I have thoughts on collectibles and AI and all that, so.

[Covino]

Plus, it was a non sanctioned game that Rich did.

[Rich]

Yeah. I was a not. This is not approved by the wbc, WBA or anyone. Colton in Utah. Head move. What movie?

[Covino]

Like an orange on a toothpick.

[Rich]

So I married an axe murderer. There you go. So I married an axe murderer. Congrats, Harriet, sweet Harriet.

[Covino]

Tis the season to give and let it be known. I'm a big Mike Myers guy. I think is funny. That movie is cheeks. It is Buns not good. No, it's not that good. Maybe when it came out and you were all in that Mike Myers zone, but if you watch it now, it's not that good. Is that not one of his best.

[Rich]

Is that one of those you show like your kids and they're like, dad, this sucks.

[Covino]

Yeah. But that moment is funny.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Moment. That's a really funny moment for sure.

[Rich]

All right, thank you, guys.

[Covino]

Congratulations.

[Rich]

All right, so I'm fascinated. You said you're taking pictures of collectibles and AI will tell you.

[Covino]

Yes. My girlfriend Jordan, her sister, they have a ton of grandma's collectibles, Grandma's coins, Grandma's again. Dollars that she kept, silver certificates, all this stuff. And last night, while I'm watching the game, this is what they're doing. They're sort of getting mad at me because I'm not helping and participating. I'm like, I got the game. The game's up. The game's a great excuse to sort of just like zone out and do your own thing.

[Rich]

You're also the type. You're also the type of guy. Also heard you. I've also heard you, like, over. Overemphasize, like. Yeah, but it's like for work.

[Covino]

Yeah. Poker. The coins. You see that catch.

[Rich]

I know.

[Covino]

Yeah. Right? So how many times.

[Rich]

How many times you think Camino was unhelpful and he said the following phrase, but, babe, I'm in for Dan Patrick in the morning.

[Covino]

I got to. Absolutely. Yeah. And like, then they're fighting about me. Like, he's got to be prepared for tomorrow. Right. Because everyone knows I'm not helping. Right. And I'm not part of it. But what they're doing is. And I never really thought of this, but this is how young minds work. It seems obvious. You just lay out all the dollar bills, right? All the coins or whatever, and then they're taking like group Snapshots, throwing it through ChatGPT, and it's like, hold on, I'm scanning them. It's scanning them, checking the serial numbers, and making sure there's no serious value in all these things. And I'm like, wow, that's pretty cool. I didn't know. I never thought of that. And then it dawned on me that we have a lot of, like, goofy other collectibles and sports collectibles. Can you just run that through Chat GPT and it could tell you, like, what it's valued at or if it has some sort of value or if it's worth keeping. Why wouldn't it. If it's able to pull this information from all sorts of information online, then why wouldn't it be able to do that?

[Rich]

I'm fascinated by even what we're seeing now with AI and any type of artificial intelligence and any type of, like, what you just said with coins.

[Covino]

Like, Rich, you have an autographed Tom Seaver jersey. You don't know the value of that, the real value of that. Take a picture and I'll probably ask you, is it autographed by Tom Seaver? Yeah. Can we verify? I mean, it should be able to verify if that's legitimate. So you take a picture of it.

[Rich]

It'll.

[Covino]

Based on my guess, I'm not saying this is legit. It could give you an estimated value of that item.

[Rich]

I think AI is scary and amazing. Like, you could be looking to do work. Like, hey, I want to put a fence in my house, in my backyard. I want to put up a new fence. Here's the zip code I live in, and here's the square footage. Well, if you live in this area, most fences will cost blank to blank. I'm fascinated. You can walk around your neighborhood. What you'd scan with the coins. You can walk around your neighborhood and be like, yo, that's a cool little tree they got. Or a nice. Oh, that's a nice flower. What's that? Your phone does that already? Like, you, like, take a picture and it'll show you what type of flower it is.

[Covino]

Yeah, but how many of grandpappy's coins do you have lying around because you think there's some sort of value to it worth nothing.

[Rich]

I learned that from your dudes on the collectible shows. All these things are. Chumbley's gonna give you a dollar.

[Covino]

So then unless there's sentimental value, you might as well just throw it into the bank, get rid of it, make some space, you know, keep a few in grandpa's Memory or whatever. But a lot of these aren't worth what you think they might be worth, unless they're silver or something like that.

[Rich]

But anyway, my grandparents insisted. Like, they used to buy me Hesh trucks around the holidays.

[Covino]

Hess trucks back, and it's bigger than ever.

[Rich]

Hess truck is here. The Hess, the gas station. We used to give you that. And they used to talk on the east coast about how Hess trucks. Oh, man, they're worth a lot, the old ones. I remember my grandparents and parents would buy me a Hess truck every Christmas.

[Covino]

And they were cool, though. They would have the layout.

[Rich]

Yeah, but what were they, like 10 or 20 bucks at the time? But I do. But I look back and I'm like, my parents made me feel like that was going to. Both you're going to pay for college or your has trucks. I feel like they were running through.

[Covino]

Running through ChatGPT. You might be sitting on a gold mine. And that's really the thought, right? Sitting on a gold mine. ChatGPT will answer it for you tonight. When you have all this downtime during the grundle of the holidays, just run some of these things through ChatGPT and you'll see.

[Rich]

Hey, how'd you pay off Your mortgage? My 1987 Hess truck.

[Covino]

These Hess trucks, Danny G. Do they.

[Rich]

Do they have these out here any, like, stupid collectibles or. No, you don't. The Hess trucks, do you know what that is?

[Covino]

No, I don't know what that is. Yeah, gas stations are regional, rich. The ones we grew up with aren't everywhere. Yeah, we discovered that recently. Not everyone grew up with Exxon or Golf or Shell. And, I mean, some of them are more well known. But I brought up Getty recently. People, like, never heard of it. I was like, what? How about a Sunoco? You got a Sunoco around here? Some of them are dated. They're all different regionally. But again, the point is, if you just joined me, my girlfriend's family, they were laying out like a bunch at a time, bro. Like, you know, 50 bills at a time. And it would scan the serial numbers to see if these are worth anything or they're just face value. Well, the key to regular. If they're just regular $2 bills, unless you're going for some sort of massive collection, you might as well cash them in. Yeah, they're not really worth anything.

[Rich]

And unfortunately for all the collectibles out there in the world of sports and coins and different things, unless. And Danny, you know this well because it's a good hobby of yours. Unless something is graded and authenticated, it's worthless.

[Covino]

That's the thing.

[Rich]

Like if somebody costs money, like you could say all, yeah, it costs money to authenticate them. Like Kavino, you could tell me right now, yo, bro, I got, I got an Ozzy Smith when he was a rookie on the Padres. Remember he had a rookie card and him and another dude. Was it Gary Templeton or someone probably on it. You could have all these cards. I have a Mattingly rookie or I have a bond. It's all worthless unless you have it graded.

[Covino]

But AI will tell you in good condition, it's worth this, you know, and I'm sure it'll say if, if graded or verified, it's, it's worth that. That's the crazy part of the technology. Like my kid use it that way. And I'm not saying it's a guarantee that it works for SP sports memorabilia. If it's working for serial numbers on, on rare coins and dollar bills, I would imagine it does.

[Rich]

I just think people overvalue those things. Like, my kid's got a ton of Pokemon cards. He loves collecting baseball cards and Pokemon cards. He's five, he knows all their. He knows more. He can name as many baseball players as he can Pokemon.

[Covino]

He would take a Charizard over a Shohei Otani.

[Rich]

Yeah. But my kid, I'll look up some of these cards with sparkle. They're like sparkly looking Pokemon cards. Like, yeah, let me look it up. I'm like, damn, $70 for that. But I'm like, he's got his little jelly fingerprints on. It's worth nothing. Like so, you know, when you, when you see your kids or your, you know, oh, I found my uncle's baseball cards. Yeah, you might have a Mickey Mantle, but if it's got a little bend in it or something and it's not graded, it's really not worth anything.

[Covino]

Unfortunately, I have a Pete Rose rookie in my collection.

[Rich]

But one of the corners is bent. Yeah. And that little bend. Dan. What bucks? Maybe, you know, like it loses all its value.

[Covino]

Not all of it. I mean, you still, you still can get it graded. And you know, you see three and fours out there where they're still worth money. If it's a rare card, it's just how many were out there on the market. That's why how we all got duped with the, you know, the famous rookie. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Throw it through Seattle. Hey, there's some weak ass cards lying around the studio. Obviously no cards of value. Throw them in Chatgpt and see what it says. Tell Spotty to do it. Spot's good at it. So, anyway, it worked. Just giving you some. Some something to do to kill time during the taint of the holidays. Saw that last night while watching the game. That's what my girlfriend's family was busy doing last night while I was watching Puka Nakua make an amazing catch that was turned over. Well, by the way, our video producer.

[Rich]

Spotty, is now looking through all the.

[Covino]

Baseball cards in the studio. Yeah, I don't know if that works, but I imagine that it does.

[Rich]

Oh, this one's got to be worth something. It's my Todd Van Poppel 1980.

[Covino]

Hey, maybe it's a rare one, like.

[Rich]

Greg Jeffries, future star. I guarantee this is worth $2.

[Covino]

Dude, I wonder if burglars are going to go around people's houses, you know, scanning things for value.

[Rich]

Oh, my Yankee Brian's worth. Who is that Yankee that hurt himself at a bar fight? It was supposed to be the most valuable. Valuable. Taylor. Taylor. Brian Taylor. Yeah, yeah, I got that one. An upper deck. I got a stadium club. Brian Taylor. All right, so I had a question. I got a question for you.

[Covino]

Hey, I wonder if you could put this through your, like, meta glasses just so you could see things of value. So, like, does it register if it. If you're looking through your glasses, like, does that have value? So you know what to steal? I mean, so you know. You know what you have.

[Rich]

Listen to you, future boy. Kavina wants to walk. Camino wants to walk around like he's in some black mirror episode where he has glasses on. That tells him the value of everything around them.

[Covino]

Yeah, that's. That's what I'm getting at. But again, I think a lot of us have coins or an old gun your grandpappy left behind, or my dad has a Civil War sword that he gave me. I'm like, I don't know what it's valued at. You know, if it's able to see this currency and tell you what the real value is, why wouldn't it be able to look at your sports collectibles and tell you what the estimated value is if graded? And everything else but rich. Tis the season to give it.

[Rich]

I was going to say it is a season to give. And I was. I was thinking about this. Because every quarterback in the NFL is probably being judged by his offensive line. Because every quarterback in their mind has what they think is the perfect gift for the men that protect them. 18 weeks of a season.

[Covino]

Well, I think that's also the moral of the story here. You got to take care of people that take care of you. I think that that is just true in life. It really is. If people help you throughout the year and they make your life easier, you got to give back a little bit. That's just how it works.

[Rich]

It's the time of year where you tip your barber. Yep. You know, the pool guy, the babysitter, the landscaper, whoever you know is in your life. If you live in a doorman building in a city, if you rent an apartment and you, you know, you got to tip the door guy. You know, there's. There's different people around the holidays that you throw a little something to. And it's a tradition in the NFL for quarterbacks to treat their O line. I mean, these, again, these are the men that keep their ass safe.

[Covino]

You know, before we talk about Josh Allen's gesture, the famous story in the past year or so is Dak Prescott. He bought his O line. And a lot of the coaches, they're like pre nouveau scans. I don't know if that was the actual brand of scan that he did, but it was a pre. No, a type of pre novo scan that basically tells you what you're susceptible to or if there's any sort of cancer in your body. It scans your entire body. He saved the lives of one of his coaches. I don't know if you heard that story, but, yeah, the coach said straight up, I would be dead if it wasn't for his gesture, his kindness here, because I would have never gotten checked because I felt fine. But I caught it early enough where, you know, he was able to treat it and take care of it. So. All right, now I feel these. Now I feel dumb because I was gonna bring up Joe Burrow. Samurai swords, hey, like I said, some are more meaningful and thoughtful than others, but it's.

[Rich]

No, this is even cooler. So Joe Burrow is a fun, quirky guy at times. Right. Like, who doesn't love Joe Burrow?

[Covino]

He's big into fossils and.

[Rich]

No, I was gonna say. So he went one year with unique, legitimate, like, samurai swords.

[Covino]

It's kind of cool.

[Rich]

Now, he followed this up with even an older thing than a samurai sword. You said it. He gave each offensive lineman, like, a legit, like, dinosaur fossil.

[Covino]

This guy's cool, too.

[Rich]

So if you've been a Lyman predicting Joe Burrow for a couple years in your man cave, you have a samurai, a legit samurai sword from a samurai, and you have a dinosaur fossil.

[Covino]

I was scanning on ChatGPT to see the value and validity.

[Rich]

But yeah, but if you are, if you, you know, if you play for Brock Purdy, you know, he's got a partnership with Toyota, you have probably have some new car. If you're Aaron Rodgers line, you get some 20, $30,000. What would you even call it, UTV? It's like it's in between a car and like an atv. You ever see those? It's like you could drive it on the road, but not. Have you seen what Aaron Rodgers gave his lineman? Yes, those look dope. But Josh Allen, this is wild because some are saying this is the best gift of all. If you haven't heard what Josh Allen got as lineman, hang tight. We're going to let you know next. And then I got to ask you, which of these gifts would you genuinely be like, dude, I want that? Because there are times where I guarantee someone's like, yeah, great, thanks, Joe Burrow. A samurai sword. I guarantee there's one guy that's like, samurai sword. How about a new car? You know, So I wonder what you've put the value on because there's people saying what Josh Allen gave his lineman is actually really legit. Because you got to wonder too, Kavino, when it comes to gift giving, sometimes it's not about the value, it's about, oh, you know, will I use this?

[Covino]

Right? The usefulness.

[Rich]

Like you could like, you know, like you would say a Cy Young award winner a lot of times gives his catcher a Rolex, you know, so like, but, but if you're not a watch guy, it's like, yeah, thanks. Your thoughts? We'll get to your feedback next. Covino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

What's up? It's big Lone from it's Up There podcast. On this episode, we're unpacking the difference between toxic love and a real bond. How so many of us were taught to survive love instead of experiencing it. A lot of men think being solid means being silent. I'm good. I got it. That's the script we memorize before we even know ourselves. Because somewhere along the line, expression got labeled weakness. So now we perform composure while we're falling apart. You'll share your body, but not a conversation. And that's not intimacy. But what if being a man really means you care enough to communicate? Real love isn't loud. It's consistent. It's the small things, the small check ins, the shared accountability, the honesty that feels awkward but keeps everyone safe. Stop confusing numbness with dependability. We gotta break the cycle and break the pattern.

[Covino]

Hey, welcome back. Good day. I said good day. From your boys, Covino and Rich. Your boys you never asked for.

[Rich]

What's up?

[Covino]

We're happy to be here.

[Rich]

Hey, Pump Happy almost New Year.

[Covino]

Happy New Year's Eve.

[Rich]

Eve.

[Covino]

We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. I'm live from Idaho. Shout out to 99.9. Shout out to all the affiliates that are hanging out with us. I'd love to hang out with you every day. Hey, we're on normally on 5 to.

[Rich]

7 in the afternoon.

[Covino]

Add us.

[Rich]

Add us to your station, damn it. You know, we're going to get to a lot of NFL and we were talking about quarterbacks in the NFL and do you think there's a pressure to be a quarterback that gives a good gift to your lineman? Or do you think they're, they're tighter on a different level? That they're not judging someone based on that?

[Covino]

That. I don't think there's that much pressure. I mean, there's a little more than there used to be because it becomes a public thing. Dare I say you want to be judged for your gesture, but you don't know what they're. They may all bond over swords and sabers and things like that.

[Rich]

I think you know what it reminds me of? Like, like rich people, they don't really need anything. So to me, as much as, like, I think it's, it's fun to see these little videos or TikTok or Instagram clips of, oh, look at whatever this quarterback gave his teammates. In my mind, I'm like, rich guy giving another rich guy thing. And I might say, I don't want to sound jealous, but we're talking about guy, you know, quarterbacks that make 50, 60 million dollars a year, gifting guys that make 5 to 10 million dollars a year like these, these guys are, are all doing just fine. So I'm not even sure if these gifts mean much or is it just the gesture.

[Covino]

I mean, it's also the gesture coming from a quarterback or maybe hall of fame potential quarterback. It's. It's also who it's from that matters. The thought that counts. All these things matter. Like, I don't know, how about four brand new tires? I take them.

[Rich]

But, you know, for over 40 years.

[Covino]

Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires. How, what and where they drive ship fast and free and backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack.com retire buying should be.

[Rich]

That's a good one, bud.

[Covino]

Hey, Rich, for all we know, Joe Burrow and his lineman Bondo over dinosaurs and things like that. Because that's just what Joe's into. So when they're not talking plays in football, he's talking about things like that.

[Rich]

Can I tell you? It means something there, there's something to be said about what do you get a wealthy person, right? Like there. I think while people might laugh at Joe Burrow getting fossils and samurai swords, that's something that you really can't. Like a watch, a nice watch, a fossil watch. You could like, you could go buy, you could go buy like a random watch. I just feel like there was a little more thought put into it. Like, I know it might sound weird, but it's something you wouldn't have got on your own. But because Joe Burrow got it for you now you have like a cool piece.

[Covino]

Yeah. And it's a, it's a conversation piece not only in itself, but who got.

[Rich]

It for you forever on your. Yeah.

[Covino]

Something from Joe Burrow in your man.

[Rich]

Cave or your beautiful lineman home, you'll forever have like a sword on display. And people be like, what's that? You know, Joe Burrow got me that Christmas 2025, you know, like it's, it's a thing. But I looked up what some quarterbacks got their teammates and Danny G, can you try to look up the origin of this? Big Mike who runs this place is like, don't you remember when Dan Marino gave his lineman all isotoners and they made a commercial? I'm like, yes, I remember that. I was like, I was a kid, but I remember. Yeah, I remember.

[Covino]

I do remember.

[Rich]

I remember Dan Marino and his isot at toters. But was that the first time a quarterback's like, I have an endorsement here, lineman I'm going to give you. Was that it?

[Covino]

That's the first time I remember ever seeing. Oh, no, I remember that. And because I remember he was also in the ads for it. And you unlocked the memory. Rich. Mom would come home. Like if your mom worked at an office. My mom always worked at Prudential or some sort of office and she was the office people would give her. She'd come home with the gifts from the office and there would always be some dude probably trying to schmooze up to her who would give her isotope. Like she'd always come home with isotopes.

[Rich]

Dan Marino loves them.

[Covino]

Yeah, isotone.

[Rich]

But is Dan Marino giving his lineman gloves the first example of a quarterback gifting the people that protect him?

[Covino]

OJ Wore isotoners.

[Rich]

OJ Gave people a set of Cutco knives. That was weird. He wasn't a quarterback, though. I apologize. Let's see. Caleb Williams gave. Correct me if I don't. Is it, Is it Damn. Reno.

[Covino]

It says Marino's commercials were likely the first widely seen instance of a QB.

[Rich]

Publicly giving a O line gifts.

[Covino]

You guys doubted Big Mike, who runs this place? He runs this place for a reason. No, no, you and I agreed instantly. Rich over there is the, the gen zer. Yeah, Rich, I, I remember Dan Marino, the isotoner guy for sure because they were like, like form fitting, like slender fitting gloves. So yeah, he needed to be able to grip that football. Hands that protect you.

[Rich]

Yeah, well, I'm sorry, I was thinking of dumb and dumber old people. Slow and dangerous behind the wheel can serve a purpose. Thanks, Mike.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Caleb Williams. I don't know this brand. Kavino, you, you know more luxury brands than I do. Are you familiar with Bottega?

[Covino]

I know the brand, yeah, but apparently.

[Rich]

Like women's handbags and men's accessories. Caleb Williams gave them, gave his lineman like some sweet Bottega, you know, bag type of gift pack with a Don Julio package. Jacoby Brissette, who wasn't even your full time starter in Arizona, he bought cologne and suitcases for his lineman.

[Covino]

That's dope.

[Rich]

Mahomes did a variety pack of AI glasses, $50,000 watches, and also suitcases and a golf setup, like an indoor driving range. You know how you could like those screens and everything.

[Covino]

We'll ask him about it later when he does some trivia here.

[Rich]

And, and apparently Lyman must love golf carts because a few quarterbacks, including Jared Goff, went the route of like souped up smart golf cart. And as you saw, Aaron Rodgers, similar, but more of a like some type of car, ATV crossover. So it started with Dan Marino and ISA toners. And here we are quarterback spending, you know, some tax write off money every year.

[Covino]

So is there more pressure? Yes, because it becomes something that people like us criticize. It becomes something people write about. And the reason we bring it up is, well, it's that time of year and Josh Allen's gift is in the news. We already hinted at it. He said Josh Allen's meat.

[Rich]

Yeah. And you know what? And by the way, one more. Brock Purdy gave personalized Rolexes to his lineman. Like each one was different and personalized. So that, you know, a little personal touch is nice. But Josh Allen gave what, what some are calling the most functional, the most useful gift of all these. I mean, what are you really going to do with a samurai sword or a golf cart? It's like a peloton back in the day. You used it for a little bit, then it became a coat rack.

[Covino]

Display it in your DP man cave.

[Rich]

So Josh Allen gave each one of his linemen a quarter of a cow. And his linemen are saying like, yo, completely useful. We're talking like Danny G, like wagyu beef and chunks, choice meats, like, like out of here.

[Covino]

It was a wagyu filet, chuck eye skirt steak, ground beef and more.

[Rich]

And you would think his linemen are like, really? I would have preferred a car.

[Covino]

He also received a steak searer.

[Rich]

And guess what, cove. When you think about these big ass linemen, what do you think they're doing all day? They're beefing up in protein. Protein. These guys a quarter primo premium meat. Like a. And not just that, he also gave each lineman an infrared grill to grill all these meats on. So the grill and the meats. And there was a video of one of his linemen. Hold on, let me get to, let me get the name.

[Covino]

Alicia Monet. Is the wife Alec Anderson? He looks like Arne Anderson. I wonder if there's a relation there.

[Rich]

No, they said Josh Allen and Haley Steinfeld, gifted, did all the lime in a quarter of a Cow.

[Covino]

And I have her right here talking about it.

[Rich]

Oh, let's hear about it. Yeah, let's. Let's hear it. He got everybody. How much? A half a quarter.

[Covino]

Cow.

[Rich]

A quarter of a cow. This has an insane amount of different cuts of meat. Like, we have, like, wagyu in here. Some filet chuck, roast, scrambled steaks. I think like, ground beef.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Literally 35. Like, this is. It's so dope. We are so grateful to Haley and Josh. They are the sweetest people ever.

[Covino]

And this is such a good, functional gift. We got Alec Anderson, offensive lineman there shirtless and his slippers and. Yeah, but that's a lot of meat, dude. A lot of meat. So that's Josh Allen's meat gifted to his offensive lineman. And you're right, Rich. It's practical but useful. It's. You know, they're gonna take advantage of it. It's not something silly. They're gonna use it.

[Rich]

I have a question back.

[Covino]

Dude, I. I love these gifts. It's no endorsement at all, but my girlfriend's dad got us all these Omaha Steaks. I'm like, hell, yeah.

[Rich]

Honestly, we used to give you those bad boys. We've done commercials for a lot of these cooking companies from the. You know, the daily, like, food service, meal, meal prep. And they're fantastic.

[Covino]

Shout out to Lynn, man. I was. He's like, yeah, and I got some Omaha steaks coming your way. I was like, I give him a high five.

[Rich]

I'm down with anytime someone delivers food, like our buddy Wes in Vegas. Him and his beautiful wife Bri occasionally would send us, like, oh, what is this package in dry ice? And it's like, you know, you send someone meats, I don't think anyone's gonna be like, no, thanks. Like, that's a great gift.

[Covino]

No, it is a great gift. And. And it's different. Like, you said they could use it. They're linemen. They live. Need protein. It's probably super high quality cuts. So, yeah, it's awesome. No one's going to complain about that. It's not, like, unique. Here's the only thing about it that I could find a criticism on. It's not something you can look back and keep and say, oh, man, Josh Allen, future hall of Famer, gave this.

[Rich]

Gave me this.

[Covino]

You'd still have the grill, though. Yeah, yeah, that's true. You can have the grill.

[Rich]

But I have a question for all you guys, because I heard someone around here chirping, and I won't call anyone out.

[Covino]

Or will I?

[Rich]

Around the Holidays. There was a joke that one of the hosts here at Fox Sports Radio would always, around the holidays, gift his crew all the free stuff he got during the year that he didn't want, like, from his personal prize closet. Like, let's just say one of the hosts, like, along the way got like a free bottles of tea, a free bottle of Tito's at an event, and then he got a free sweatshirt from this company. He'd be like, merry Christmas. And here's like a.

[Covino]

It's called re. Gifting, but is. And look, if it's. If it's decent stuff, I'd be grateful to have it, right? If this guy doesn't drink tequila and he's like, but I know you do. Yeah, I'll. I'll take it.

[Rich]

But here's my question. Do you. Do you look at these quarterbacks?

[Covino]

I think you need to be honest about that.

[Rich]

Do you look at these. I re.

[Covino]

Gifted a shirt to Iowa Sam recently. Yeah, but I was honest about it. I was like, dude, I know you would like this. So here you go. So you just got to be honest about those things.

[Rich]

My question, though, is when you're on a level of an NFL quarterback or even like a regular guy like you or me or any of our listeners, if you give someone something, does it. Is there any difference if they got it for free or not? Like, if, you know, Josh Allen went out of his way to buy this meat? Or what if you found out, like, oh, whatever, meats. Oh, he has a partnership with them. Or like Brock Purdy.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

He's like a spokesman for Toyota. So like, he got, like, now it don't matter. It doesn't matter to you?

[Covino]

Like, hell no. Because they don't have the partnership with Toyota. He made that happen.

[Rich]

What if, like, you think there was.

[Covino]

A lineman there saying, yeah, I got this free truck. But you know what? He didn't even pay for it.

[Rich]

What if Mahomes, who is such a face of the NFL, what if everything in his gift bag, from the meta glasses to the. To the. To the watch to everything, what if they're all sponsors of his and he really didn't pay much at all for that? Does that matter to you at all?

[Covino]

No. No. Good. Good for him for keeping them in mind and using his contacts wisely. So, yeah, he has connections. They don't. And again, the thought that counts. So I think it's a cool move. Josh Allen did a good job. What are your thoughts? You know, here's the other thing, too. When it comes to. Because Tis the season to. Well, the t. The season to give is sort of over. Right Now's the season to return and regift. That's what's going on now. Everyone's making their returns and re gifting and things like that. I remember one year, rich, I had a girlfriend. You know, when you have a new girlfriend, they try to butter up your mom or whatever. So my new girlfriend at the time tried to butter up my mom with like a. I bought you a picture frame, Mrs. Covino. And my mom did the whole.

[Rich]

Oh, thanks. My mom, by the way, is such a sucker.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

For like, I remember, like, my mom would think that if someone was dating one of my mom's kids, one of my siblings, and just brought my mom like a candle, my mom would. No, my mom would be like, they are so nice. I'm like, mom, that present sucked. Oh, but they would bring me a candle every time they came home.

[Covino]

They would bring me a yankee candle.

[Rich]

Oh, Yankee candle company. I'm like, mom, that guy was terrible to like your daughter or like one of my sister's ex boyfriend.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

But you know, he would call, he brought a candle.

[Covino]

Moms are weird.

[Rich]

Moms are weak with.

[Covino]

They bought my mom a frame. It was like a picture frame. I remember this, right?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And my mom gave the whole like, oh, thank you. Oh, so nice. Right. Fast forward. I think it was like the next Christmas or next holiday. My mom re gifted that to like an aunt of mine right in front of my girlfriend. My girlfriend was like, isn't that the frame I bought your mom last year? I'm like, I don't know. But I. I remember how awkward it was because she felt so bad and. And then, you know, must have really liked it. Yeah, it was really awkward. Yeah. I thought she liked it. I'm like, I guess not. I don't know. You are for me.

[Rich]

All right. Well, hey. Yeah, there's a. There's a story and a thought about Sam darnold. We're going to get to. We're also going to get to a couple big stars in the world of sports that celebrate a birthday today. And of course, showtime. Mahomes trivia. We'll do that all coming up right here.

Sam Darnold I want to bring him up because I talked about how excited I am about this weekend. It's only Tuesday and you and I have a couple days off, so you would think I wouldn't want to rush to the weekend because you would want to just chill and take it in. But this game on Saturday night for the one seed, the super bowl could go completely through the Bay Area for the Niners or Seattle 12th. Man, that's a tough place to play. So we'll see.

[Covino]

Still sad as the Saturday night game.

[Rich]

Yeah, only because Danny G. If anyone could get I'm having such a difficult time even following all the experts, Trent Williams, there's no real indication yet of that hamstring and whether or not he tries to give it a go because George Kittle was out this week. But it looks like Kittle is going to try to give it a go this Saturday night on a short week. He didn't play this past week and they were fine without him. But you want Kittle in there not only for his tight end abilities catching the ball, but he's one of the best blockers in the game.

[Covino]

Game that and he's. He's a tone setter.

[Rich]

And he's a tone setter.

[Covino]

Yeah, but I think you want his energy.

[Rich]

The only bummer for me is that it's one more day that Trent Williams can't try to heal up that hammy or get some treatment. But I don't.

[Covino]

I have an idea, Rich. Why don't your Niners just take the week off like a bye week, kind of like the Chargers are doing, and hand the number one seed to the team you're playing, the Broncos.

[Rich]

You know, if the Niners didn't have a chance to get the one seed themselves, I'd say rest them all. But this is for everything. And, and I wanted to bring this up because you talked about my dude, Brock Purdy dancing and having fun and a lot of people on social media saying the world owes him an apology for ever saying he was a system qb because he shows so much more than that at times.

[Covino]

He looks so good right now. You could say he's just the perfect fit for the perfect system or whatever. Whatever it is.

[Rich]

He's playing great now. Opposite of him. A guy that I have such a hard time assessing. Missing Sam Darnold. He's going to end up throwing for over 4,000 yards this year. 25 tutties, 14 interceptions. The guy turns the ball over a ton. He's high risk, high reward. That's Sam Darnold. That, that's who you get with Sam Darnold. High risk.

[Covino]

That's just who he is. High risk. By the sword. Died by the sword.

[Rich]

Yeah. I mean he's going to have games where you're like, what the hell is he doing? And then you have other games where you're like, look at that. He found that little window. He extended that play. Look at Sam Darnold. Darnold.

[Covino]

He's in some elite company though. Rich, I've seen some pretty interesting stats about Sam Darnold. He's got two back to back 13 plus win seasons. Not a lot of quarterbacks have done that. Five total. I know. Covino, you've seen this. Rich, can you name the other four?

[Rich]

I haven't seen this. Let me guess. Okay.

[Covino]

Five total. And. And some of those quarterbacks have done it multiple times. All right, I'm.

[Rich]

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna be.

[Covino]

I have.

[Rich]

I've not only QBs all time with.

[Covino]

Consecutive 13 win seasons.

[Rich]

All right, I'm not gonna BS you. I haven't seen the stats. So these, these are pure guesses.

[Covino]

By the way, this puts Darnold in perspective. His name is up there. Some of the great. And he did it with two different.

[Rich]

He's one of five. He's one of five. So Darnold last year with Minnesota, this year with Seattle. 213 win team. So he's one of five. So there's four others. Yes.

[Covino]

Yeah. But don't you think that makes it even more impressive that he was able to do it with two completely different teams and systems says a lot about him and his leadership and what he's capable of.

[Rich]

13 wins. But here, here's my rub.

[Covino]

The back.

[Rich]

Here's my rub. Adding that 17th game helped him be on this list because I'm thinking a lot of 13 and three teams back in our. Back in the day. So my guess is I'm going to go. Peyton Manning had to have done it. He did.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

All right. Peyton Manning. Because they were 2012. 2013. Yeah. I was gonna say there were years where I felt like the culture. 14 and 213 and 3 perpetually. Like every year. So Peyton Manning is one of those other four. I'm going to go. My dude. Steve Young. Not. Not Montana. I'm going to go Young. Oh, is it Montana? Montana?

[Covino]

No. Another X on the board.

[Rich]

Oh, damn. Okay.

[Covino]

All right.

[Rich]

No Montana, no Young.

[Covino]

You only have one strike left.

[Rich]

There was a lot of 12 and four Steve Young teams. That's why.

[Covino]

Damn it.

[Rich]

All right, I'm going to go.

[Covino]

And by the way, didn't Manning do it with the Broncos?

[Rich]

He did, but he's only one of the other four. I'm going to go. Drew Brees.

[Covino]

No, that's your three strikes.

[Rich]

Tom Brady on the list. Of course. Yeah, I was good. I mean, I always did it multiple times. I was saying Tom. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Besides those guys, you're telling me there's two others? So it's Sam Darnold, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and two others. And those two others are not.

[Covino]

They wore the same uniform. I'll give you that hint.

[Rich]

They're not Steve Young, they're not Joe Montana, and they're not Drew Brees. Huh? Huh?

[Covino]

Danny G. Gave you a really good hit. The last two guys wore the same uniform. I know.

[Rich]

I heard it. It's not Mahomes.

[Covino]

No, because they're not.

[Rich]

No, that's not. That's why I'm saying it's not my homes.

[Covino]

One of the guys still playing.

[Rich]

One of the guys is still playing. Is it?

[Covino]

How about you think about it?

[Rich]

Is bi.

[Covino]

No. How about Fox Sports Radio Nation? Think about it.

[Rich]

Okay. I'll think of the other guy. We'll do it.

[Covino]

Next. Darnold's an elite company. Who's he with?

[Rich]

No one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for Pre Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more. Sponsored by Gilead what a matchup we got y'.
