Episode Overview

The hosts swap stories about prioritizing big games amid family functions, setting relationship expectations from the beginning, and even allowing children to play ball inside the house. The episode is peppered with lively debate, relatable anecdotes, and direct listener participation, keeping the tone humorous and engaging throughout.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Sports-Life Balance: The Art of Prioritizing (02:43 – 22:00)

• Holiday Timing and Fan Stress

  • The hosts coin the period between Christmas and New Year’s as “the taint of the holidays,” a confusing in-between, perfect for pajama lounging and sports talk.

• Rich’s Real-Life Dilemma:

  • Rich describes having to navigate watching a pivotal 49ers game versus fulfilling dinner plans with family and friends (07:31).
  • Solution: He made an 8:30pm dinner reservation, hoping the game would be over, but when it dragged on, he sat alone in his car outside the restaurant, catching the final moments on his phone.
    • Quote (Rich Davis, 08:42): “I’m gonna sit in the car... I gotta watch the last 10 minutes of the game.”

• Setting Expectations in Relationships:

  • The hosts explore whether it’s possible to pull off this move when dating someone new, as opposed to a spouse who “knows what I’m made of.”
  • They suggest being upfront early in a relationship about sports priorities:
    • Quote (Steve Covino, 09:24): “You don’t want to falsely advertise... That’s terrible, Danny.”
    • Quote (Rich Davis, 10:39): “You have to set that standard... I don’t think you should hide your priorities.”

• “Don’t Yuck My Yum”:

  • Discussing the need for mutual respect in relationships for each other’s passions, whether it’s sports or social media habits.
    • Quote (Rich Davis, 15:23): “‘Don’t yuck my yum’. Don’t ruin my fun…”

2. Parenting & the Perils of Kids’ Sports Schedules (16:52 – 22:14)

• Kids’ Activities VS Sports Viewing:

  • Rich shares the conflict of his daughter joining flag football, only to discover games are scheduled directly during NFL playoffs and even the Super Bowl.
    • Frustration over leagues scheduling youth games on days like Super Bowl Sunday, which he calls “basically a national holiday.”
    • Quote (Rich Davis, 20:13): “What person is bringing their kid to a game on Super Bowl Sunday? I'll tell you, I am not.”

• Compromises:

  • The hosts discuss solutions, like streaming games on tablets or occasionally skipping a youth game, but stress that being present for your kids is ultimately more important.

3. Listener Engagement: Call-Ins and Community Insights (22:27 – 27:14)

• Listener Bruno from Brooklyn:
  • Emphasizes putting children first, but notes modern tech (like phones) make it possible to keep up with games while present at family obligations.
• Debate over Brock Purdy's Legitimacy:
  • Listeners and hosts discuss Purdy moving from “Mr. Irrelevant” to a high-caliber QB, drawing a boxing analogy with Triple G: “Unassuming but a badass in the ring.”

4. Playing Ball in the House: Parental Rules & Nostalgia (34:16 – 38:20)

• Discussion on Setting Boundaries:
  • Rich weighs the risk of letting his kids play with soft sports equipment indoors and the inevitability of breakage versus fostering their love of sports.
    • Quote (Rich Davis, 35:25): "What's your parental rule or your fun Uncle Steve rule on playing ball in the house?”
• Covino and Danny G’s Take:
  • Suggest only allowing soft or “silent” balls, and accepting that minor chaos is part of being a kid.
  • The segment conjures nostalgia for Nerf basketball and sliding in socks.

5. Memorable Gifts & Movie Memorabilia (38:49 – 43:02)

• Kim Kardashian Buys Pee Wee Herman’s Bike for Kourtney:
  • Leads to a discussion of what would be the ultimate sports or movie memorabilia if money were no object.
    • Quote (Steve Covino, 39:13): “Kim got her hands on one of [Pee Wee’s bikes]—potentially worth over $125,000.”
• Top Memorabilia Picks:
  • Suggestions include Abe Lincoln’s top hat, Rocky Balboa’s trunks, the “F-Face” Billy Ripken bat, the Sandlot’s baseball, golf balls from Caddyshack, and The Big Lebowski’s rug.
• Listener Calls:
  • Callers chime in with their dream memorabilia pieces, mixing pop culture loves with sports fandom.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Yeah, Happy taint to all and to all a great taint. It's the taint of the holidays.

The whole crew, Spotty Boy and Ramsey, everybody back in la. And Rich, I think this hour we need to have some fun, some holiday fun because it is the gooch of the holidays. And I also want to call you out in something that I call the, what do I call it? The sport life balance. I guess the sport life balance.

[Rich Davis]

I had to pull one last night. And by the way, last night, Brock Purdy, beast. I mean beast.

[Steve Cavino]

I think we're fooled by his, his, his boyish looks, his, his Wally Cleaver attitude. But now we're seeing his dance moves and the fact that this guy plays big. I mean the Bears are tough.

[Rich Davis]

What about the, the little juke moves where he finds use check just standing in the end zone. That play, that play as, as they even pointed out last night, Collins Worth, I mean there's a guy that Mahomes who looks like comparing him to Mahomes.

[Steve Cavino]

Of course, you know what it is, Rich, can I give you some fight analogy and by the way, thoughts and prayers to Anthony Joshua. It seems like a terrible story in Nigeria. I'm glad he's okay, but apparently a tire blew out and the driver lost control. Two were dead. He seems to be okay, but like a horrific scene that's developing as we speak. You heard perfect talking about it but we mentioned it before. A fight analogy would be like Brock Purdy is. Is unassuming. What really brought me back to boxing and fighting again was Gennady Golovkin in the early 2000s. Triple G. And he was the most, like, unassuming dude and. But he was a badass in the ring. Like, he was unstoppable. Such a force.

[Rich Davis]

Max. Max, Triple G, Triple G, Drama show.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, I punch, I destroy, you know, but he was the goofiest looking dude, but just fought so tough and he seemed so unstoppable. And I think that's the thing with Brock Purdy. He really does look like a little boy out there, and we know him as Mr. Irrelevant. We have all these pre, preconceived ideas of Brock Purdy and who he is and what he looks like, but when he's out there, dude, he just clicks with the squad. He makes big plays. We have to erase that and see what he's doing out there. What he's doing out there is. Is highly competitive and. And I fear sounds too, too RuPaul for me. Give me a word. It's fierce, ferocious. You know, he's playing. He's playing with some. Some gusto and some confidence and poise. Noticeable poise.

[Rich Davis]

Well, they did point last night. Like, here's one guy that was your number one overall pick, and here's one guy that was the last pick. As they pointed out, Brock Purdy was chosen when they were cleaning up the joint at the very end of the draft and, you know, came to get that idea out.

[Steve Cavino]

He's a bonafide star now. He's surrounded by stars, but he works well with them. And he's playing big. 303 yards, three touchdowns, five total, one one pick. But just playing big and Christian McCaffrey and having all these weapons. But again, he was. He was minus Kittle yesterday. So he looked great, dude. Props to your team. They played big and I know that you were really in the zone when I get.

[Rich Davis]

I get so nervous, by the way, every time Christian McCaffrey gets tackled because I'm like, you need him. Because their game and the 49ers run. I mean, you could say there's factors like a big Trent Williams on the, you know, on the left side or, you know, Kittle, what he does, catching the ball but also blocking. But Christian McCaffrey, that offense, as much as I give him Purdy props, McCaffrey is so key. And every time he gets hit hard on a long run and they like, someone has to go help him up, I'm like, please don't be Limping, please. And last night, when he was stretching his. His. His oblique a little bit, I was like, oh, please, please. So the 49ers do run through McCaffrey, but last night, Kavina, I had to pull that sports life balance move where, you know, we are still living our life, even though we do revolve a lot of it around watching our big games. I have family in town. I have friends that are as close as family.

[Steve Cavino]

And it's the Gooch of the holidays. Everybody's doing their thing.

[Rich Davis]

We have people in town. And I said, you know what?

[Odoo Advertiser]

Let's.

[Rich Davis]

We'll leave the kids at home. One of our friends, kids, a teenager, like, your daughter's age almost. So it was like, all right, she could watch the kids, go get a dinner, just the adults. And we made an 8:30 dinner reservation. Because I was like, yeah, 8:30 seems about fair. Sunday night football starts at 5:15. I'm like, and even if the fourth quarter, if the Niners are up big or down big, I won't care as much. And I, you know, I'll catch the end of the game, and boom, the restaurant's five minutes away. That game dragged that deliberate, though, because.

[Steve Cavino]

That'S sort of a late reservation. You were just trying to catch all the games.

[Rich Davis]

Well, yeah, they were like, you want to get dinner? And my wife's like, how about, like, seven? I'm like, how about not.

[Steve Cavino]

Had a say in that.

[Rich Davis]

Like your husband. Look at the shirt I'm wearing. But, yeah, so I said, let's make the 8:30 reservation. Game is.

[Steve Cavino]

There's.

[Odoo Advertiser]

It's.

[Rich Davis]

We leave the house. And luckily, I'm. I immediately put the game on my phone. I'm like, babe, can you drive? I'm going to be passenger, princess. I'm watching during the five minute. I. I left right after the 49ers went ahead with their touchdown.

[Steve Cavino]

Mm.

[Rich Davis]

Bears get the ball with, like, a minute, whatever, you know, that two minutes left. I have to get in the car. They walk in the restaurant, and I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna sit in the car. And I sat in the car for it.

[Lil Dude Wipes Advertiser]

Not long.

[Rich Davis]

Good. Ten minutes or so by myself. And it makes you. It makes you wonder, like, when you do date, it's my wife. It doesn't matter, you know, she knows what I'm made of. She knows who I am.

[Steve Cavino]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

If you're dating someone new, can you ever pull a move like that and expect to get any booty? Like, can you imagine being like, yeah, we gotta, like, let's Just sit in the car. I gotta watch the last five minutes of the game. Is that something you do with a new person? Because then you're sort of setting the precedent like, this is who you're with.

[Steve Cavino]

Man, that's. That's a tough one because you don't want to falsely advertise like, Danny. Let's say this was called the bait and switch. Like, honey, I'm. I'm not into watching the game and then be into the game. Like, that's. That's terrible, Danny.

[Rich Davis]

If I were a single guy and last night I'm so. I'm. Let's say I'm meeting a date and it's not my wife and I'm a single dude. Do you set the precedent early and be like, hey, I know we just met, but I'm going to. I have to watch the last 10 minutes of this game at the restaurant or in my car?

[Steve Cavino]

No. She'd also have to be a Niner fan. Which is why I say, when you're out there in the dating pool, find somebody that loves the same teams you do. It just makes life. That's why Rich found his life on onlyniners dot com.

[Rich Davis]

Now, see, I. The hot ass is way more important than my rooting interest. But I. But I do think dating.

[Steve Cavino]

You wouldn't think that if Sarah was a Seahawks fan.

[Rich Davis]

My wife's family likes the Packers. I will say, though, that dating a woman whose family is into football does help. Like, when your wife or the girl you're dating, if she grew up where her dad was really into the game, that's a woman that sort of understands it because she was raised with that. Like, my wife never once questioned, like, you have to watch the end of the game. I've had exes that are like, let's go. Let's. Let's leave.

[Steve Cavino]

And I'm like, always the case. I. Again, I'm not trying to debate your sentiment here. I actually agree with that. It's a. It's a better situation. No doubt. But my girlfriend's dad is a big football fan, and she still gives me flack. I'm like. And it's my job to know what's going on. Well, you know, so the sports life balance is. Is real. So, Rich, you got to tell them what you did, though. Yeah. I feel like you're beating around the bouche, Rich. And he posted this on social media.

[Rich Davis]

I was like. I was sitting in the. I was sitting in the car while they. I was like, you guys go get apps. I don't want watch us sitting at a table in a restaurant. I just want to sit in the car by myself and watch the last 10 minutes of the game.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, my thinking was not only did you want to watch, and I don't blame you for that. While they sat in the restaurant and ate and waited for you. But I felt like you didn't want to like, move because you didn't want to jinx the situation.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't want to curling. I didn't want to jinx it. But I also didn't want to like. I wanted to be able to react. I. I wanted to be able to.

[Steve Cavino]

Alone in your car.

[Rich Davis]

I wanted to be able to let out a big F. Like fudge. I wanted to be able to let out like a. Like a Josh Allen. You saw Josh Allen's lip reading yesterday?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Fudge. I wanted to be able to let out a big F or. I wanted to be able to do a little Fred Warner Dub City. Like, I wanted to be able to let out a little Dub City or a big.

[Steve Cavino]

Without looking like a maniac.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't want to look like an a hole at the sushi place.

[Steve Cavino]

And I was like, thing though. I don't want to give out bad advice because, you know, we, believe it or not, guys, we do this for a living and we've done it for a long time. Right?

[Odoo Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

So that's Rich's sort of scapegoat here. It's his excuse. And he's a die hard 49ers fan. For the regular guy who's just a fan to have his family going without him and they're waiting around while he sits there for another five plus minutes. It was more than that. It was five minutes left on the clock.

[Rich Davis]

I think I got into the. The restaurant reservation was at 8:30. I think I got into the restaurant at like 8:40 something. 8:42 or. Too bad. I would think that go order a drink.

[Steve Cavino]

Sort of frowned upon.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you know, you could see this if you go to my Instagram story. Rich Davis. I got my kids new Niners gear for Christmas and then I posted my little reaction video outside the restaurant. I'm like, I gotta go eat. But it brings up a couple questions. Of course, your observations from week 17. We're always taking them on a Monday throughout the whole show. As Scott Mayer said on the, on the chat, you know, boss move, man. That took stones telling your wife and family, go in the restaurant.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. By the way, please. You could see his react. You could see everything. We're talking about IG story. Go to Rich Davis on Instagram. And you see this guy, you know, leaving his car in the parking lot, joining his family after they've been waiting for him because he wanted to watch the end of the game. And I don't blame him at all. What I would have done, I probably would have sat my phone down and joined them and just had the phone on there and said, hey, guys, I hope you don't mind. You know, I, I would have used work as an excuse. Or you could just use your fandom as an excuse or just say you had money on it or whatever.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, Mike said, do judge, though.

[Steve Cavino]

Because not everybody relates.

[Rich Davis]

Mike said, in a marriage or in a relationship, you do have to, you do have to set that standard. And it's not like you're the boss, but I don't think you should hide your priorities when you're, you know. Like early on, I think I was like, yeah, like, it's the eighth inning of a game, but we'll, yeah, we're running a little late, but I got to see if the Mets win this one. Like, I think you, you have to let your partner know where you're, you.

[Steve Cavino]

Know, where you're on the fly. You can't pretend to like stuff that you don't. I, for example, my girlfriend, I've been aware of long time, but when we first started dating, we were out and about a lot and, and every time we went out, it was like drinks and fun and she's really fun when she has a drink or two and then, you know, fast forward, she doesn't have a drink ever. And like, really rarely now. She's no fun.

[Rich Davis]

You said. No, I never said that. I'm sorry. You said that to me. Oh, sorry.

[Steve Cavino]

But then you know what happens? And you're, I'm drinking by myself and I feel like a loser and I'm like, wait a minute, have a drink with me. She's like, I don't drink.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, but you did when we.

[Steve Cavino]

Were first going out, right? So you also can't like, pretend to be into stuff that you're not. So just be true to yourself is the obvious sentiment here. But it's really the question of sports life balance. I'm thinking of things like, I'll call my brother in law out because he listens to Fox Sports Radio. My brother Dan, he's one of the biggest supporters, huge Fox Sports Radio fanatic, big sports fan. But he'll leave a family event and family will be like, hey, where'd Dan go? Dan, like, moonwalked out of the family party to go watch WrestleMania with his buds. But we know that's what Dan's into.

[Rich Davis]

What are you gonna do?

[Steve Cavino]

But that is that the sports life balance. Right?

[Rich Davis]

As my wife does. My kids said there's an expression with kids now. I don't. Don't yuck my yum right here.

[Steve Cavino]

So let them enjoy.

[Rich Davis]

Don't ruin my fun. If I. If, like, you know, the end of the 49ers game is, like, emotionally crappy or awesome for me. What are you gonna. What type of wife would my wife be if she was like, put down your phone and come in the restaurant? Like, I'd be like, I hear you. You know, like, you would. You would end up.

[Steve Cavino]

At the same time, dude. We also are very critical. Like, I can't help but notice that my girlfriend pauses the actual dinner to make sure she take. Takes pictures of her meal. Because she's into social media, right? So you allow that? I kind of want to yuck that yum a little bit. Like, hey, can we just eat without.

[Rich Davis]

The photo shoot you should do when she gets her, like, dessert or food, immediately smush it with.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. You know, but then again, that's. That's. That's her.

[Lil Dude Wipes Advertiser]

Have you seen.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, has anyone else seen that trend on social media?

[Steve Cavino]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

It's guys who have women that love to take pictures of their food. The minute the food gets there, the guy will be an a hole and just take their fork and, like, messes up the plate. I will ruin the. The. The aesthetic of the meal. So this brings up a good question, Kavita, because forget my dinner. Forget the Niners. I don't want to make it about me, but I can't be the only one that deals with a bunch of kids sports. My kids are very active. They play a bunch of sports. And get this. My daughter has joined girls flag football, which I'm pumped about. I think this is a, you know, good exercise, good fun. She understands the game from watching with dad.

[Steve Cavino]

Let me ask this. I don't know if it's just in la, but there's a lot of girls that play just regular. Is this a girl?

[Rich Davis]

I think it's coed. I think it's co ed.

[Steve Cavino]

I think it's gonna ask you that because it's mostly coed, but I think.

[Rich Davis]

They made a team.

[Steve Cavino]

They're really good.

[Rich Davis]

I think they made a team of girls, though. I think the team of girls are going to be competing with boys as well. But they're so young, so the gap in athleticism isn't necessarily there yet. So I think they could still hang.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, fun dude. I mean my, I have nephews in the flag football leagues which are really exploding. It's an Olympic sport now, as we know, but it's, it's very much boys and girls.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you the BS I got yesterday. And, and you know, I coach my kids for baseball and softball for flag football. I told them, I was like, yeah, I'll help out if you want, but I sort of want to just watch my kid, you know, sometimes you don't want to coach everything you want to. Sometimes you just want to be dad in his folding chair and you just want to watch and take it in. Right? You don't want to, you know, you don't need to coach everything. I get to schedule yesterday and its flag what? Kavino football.

[Steve Cavino]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

It starts this little winter season. Starts the same weekend as wild card weekend. There's a game every Sunday in the middle of the afternoon. Yeah, and get, and this is not even a joke. There's a game. We live on the West Coast. So the super bowl starts at what, 3:30, right? Because the Super bowl usually starts at 6:36 or something east coast time. There's a game like that ends around the start time of the Super Bowl. And my first thought is I can't be the only dad that's like, or mom that's like you're, you're putting all these kids football games on at the same time as the NFL playoffs.

[Steve Cavino]

It really forces the sports life balance. Luckily for you, there's something called a tablet you could bring or your phone and watch the game.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, well I, I said to my wife, I said, she's like, you signed.

[Steve Cavino]

Her up for this?

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, I know. But I said there might be times where I might say I'm skipping this one, you know, my game's on or something.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, it's tough man. It really is. The expectations are real. But so you have a choice to make. But I think the obvious choice here is unfortunately for you, you got to go to the game. I mean you don't have to go to every game. You do. You got to go to the game if you can. And you just bring, bring a tablet with you and enjoy. Bring some AirPod and watch the game and cheer her on.

[Rich Davis]

I mean your kids more important than the NFL. But no question, you watch a whole season not to miss, not to miss a playoff game because your 8 year old is running around missing balls. You know, like it's, it's an interesting thought, but the super bowl was an interesting one. Can you imagine anyone bringing their kid to a sporting event? Gymnastics, basketball, football, flag football. Can you imagine any event going on Super Bowl Sunday?

[Steve Cavino]

Like that's got to imagine that guys who organize a league would know not to do that. That, yeah, that seems like a little much. It's, it's basically a national holiday. Like I remember people coming every something going on.

[Rich Davis]

I remember game seven of the World Series. I know it's a silly analogy, but game seven of the World Series, my adult men's softball league, they're like, yeah, we're canceling all the games tonight because what grown man that plays softball as a 30, 40, 50 year old that loves baseball enough to play soft? A grown man, you don't think any of those guys want to watch game seven of the World Series? So I just, I don't get it sometimes. It's, it's that schedule maker. I'm like, do they not live the normal life? Who, what person is bringing their kid to a game on Super Bowl Sunday? I'll tell you, I am not.

[Steve Cavino]

And I think, I think you could use the game as an excuse to get out of things you don't want to participate in. To be honest, when it comes to the sports, life balance and it's real around the grundle of the holidays, the grassy knoll that we're in right now, the space between. Because even last night it was like family fun time. I'm with my, my girlfriend's family and she's like, what's that Monopoly card game that people like? Monopoly go or whatever, let's play Monopoly go. And I'm like, ah, you know, I wish I could, but I can't. The, you know, the Niners game.

[Lil Dude Wipes Advertiser]

You.

[Steve Cavino]

Know, I'm like, I just, I'm sorry guys, I just can't concentrate, you know. So you have fun though.

[Rich Davis]

I'll be right here in the backyard and play Jenga. Yeah, sorry. The, there's a college. The Snoop Dogg bowl game is on.

[Steve Cavino]

I was. And by the way, that doesn't compare to your kids flag football game. But you know, you're also able to use it as an excuse.

[Rich Davis]

Don't get me wrong, find the balance. I gotta let it be known. Watching my kid takes precedence obviously. But I'm just fascinated that I can't be the only. And I say dad and mom, but. But I'm just stereotypically saying more dads probably aren't looking at the same schedule I am. And they're saying, so wait, every game is during the NFL playoffs, and there's even a game scheduled on Super Bowl Sunday. This is flag football. If I'm signing my kid up for flag football, there's a very good chance I and my kid, like, you guessed it, football. I wild to me.

[Steve Cavino]

We have a few phone calls on this to Sports Life balance. Let's do it challenging, especially around the holidays, because you're surrounded by family, too. And that's when your. Your habits are exposed a little bit. 87799 on Fox. Who do we got?

[Rich Davis]

Bruno in Brooklyn. What's up? What's up? Hey, buddy.

[Caller]

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Happy New Year first and foremost.

[Rich Davis]

Back at you.

[Caller]

Thank you, man. Hey, listen, real quick on this thing, I think where the wheels have turned. Obviously, children first. I know with my kids. Or else.

[Rich Davis]

But.

[Caller]

But what's really made this so much better. Excuse me. Is the fact that you got a cell phone now, man, you can cheat, you can sit, watch the game and keep on top of what's going on with your pro sports team, primarily football or baseball. But you can do it. But, man, you got to be there. To Richard's point, who is scheduling these things? They know we used to have tournaments on Mother's Day and Father's Day weekend.

[Lil Dude Wipes Advertiser]

Okay.

[Caller]

And that really put a punch on my going away and seeing family out of the area.

[Rich Davis]

Whatever.

[Caller]

On another note, real quick, I won't keep you. This idea that Purdy. All the talking heads that say Purdy's not the real deal is crazy. Purdy put on a show last night. He's one of the best. Top shelf in the wild. Thing was every time the Bears scored, I said, well, that's it. And then he'd come right back down the field. The guy's the real deal. And my favorite part last night, the dude was flexing after he scored. He ran a couple. He threw a couple. Fantastic. That game had me on the edge of my seat and I'm like, I'm not a fan of either team.

[Rich Davis]

I loved it.

[Caller]

It was some of the best football I've seen in a long.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it was great. I'll tell you what it was. If you love offensive football, it was great. And I'll tell you this as a Niners fan, and we got plenty of friends that are Bears fans. Shout out to our buddy Carlos, our buddy Sammy J. Our Budd Mike Valesco. Like, I know so. I know so many Bears fans that hit me up there. They were say, Carl Reinhart was hitting me up. Bears fans and Niners fans alike saying, yo, these teams can't be stopped. That doesn't really say great things about the defenses, though.

[Steve Cavino]

Exactly.

[Rich Davis]

Like I do Wonder Will, clearly the Seahawks. Someone's got to put pressure on Brock Purdy. Caleb Williams had all the time in the world. I said the 49ers have to score 40 points because he saw him against Philip Rivers in India a week ago. Philip Rivers had all the time in the world in the pocket at 44 years old. The Niners, without Fred Warner commanding that team and without Nick Bose's pass rush, they're lacking. They need to score 40. If the 49ers want to make a playoff run, they're gonna have to win games scoring 35 plus in every game.

[Steve Cavino]

Fact, Rich, you're the gambling fool. I imagine it went over the. Over. No. 42, 38. Halftime. I think they went up 42, 30.

[Rich Davis]

What was that?

[Steve Cavino]

Fun fact.

[Rich Davis]

It was the only game, like, ever. That was. It was 7, 7, 14, 14, 21, 21, 38. 28.

[Steve Cavino]

And I told you when the Bears had a. Had that field goal, you're like, yeah, they're going to lose because now the 49ers are going to come back and score a touchdown.

[Rich Davis]

It was just so back and forth at that moment. I thought, please don't be now when you stall, right? It's like it's. It really was a matter of who had the ball last, because the reality is that there was another minute in that game. I think the Bears win. So the Bears have nothing to be ashamed of. Let's go to J.P. in Northern Cali. J.P. what's up, buddy? Yo.

[Caller]

Good morning, fellas.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, bud.

[Caller]

I just wanted to bring up a thought. I want to bring up the thought that, you know. Yes. You guys want to set that precedent early when you're dating a girl of, hey, you know what? I watch my football. I'm sorry, but this is what I do. But there are times, right, where you can go, you know what? This first game of the season, maybe second game of season, I might be able to watch it till halftime.

[Rich Davis]

And.

[Caller]

And then we can go do what we need to do. But last night's game. Sorry, I wouldn't have moved.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, exactly. Trust me, dude, I'm not even joking. As lame as it sounds, we went to an all you could eat sushi spot, and I was starving. I'm like, oh, I can't wait to sit. But I'm like, I hope I sit down in a really good Mood. And I did, but I said, go in there, order the first round, order a bunch of appetizers. Let's do it. Here's my drink order. I'll be in in 10 minutes. I couldn't leave my little spot sitting in the car watching the game.

[Steve Cavino]

Dang. You gave them your drink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you could see this again on Rich's IG story. He was sitting in his car until the game ended. The whole family was there, you know, already ordering already with the food. Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Give me the shishito peppers and a spicy tuna roll to start. Thank you.

[Steve Cavino]

We have a patented rule that we've been preaching for years, and that is you have to date somebody for a full calendar year before you actually, like, commit to the relationship. That way they see all your hab and, you know, all of theirs, too. Because your habits change as seasons change, as the summer kicks in or football season kicks in. And if your significant other can't deal with the fact that, yeah, man, these games are important to me and I'm going to be watching them, maybe that's not the one for you. And it's not easy to find that sports life, balance.

[Rich Davis]

No. So relationships, sports, your kids, sports. I think we all deal with this type of stuff. So if you have any feedback or thoughts, anything you want to chime in. Hey, hey. Having fun. A casual Monday in for the great Dan Patrick, Cavino and Rich.

Man, the Raiders are the fun young quarterback. Could make the world of a difference. When was the last time the Raiders had a fun young quarterback?

[Steve Cavino]

You imagine Tom Brady as the mentor to Mendoza? That would be great.

[Rich Davis]

It's a good story.

[Steve Cavino]

That would be great with a hot young quarterback like that who I've already seen photoshopped in the silver and black comes a cool young coach too, I imagine. Major culture shift.

Covino and Rich, fsr, you know you have a question.

[Rich Davis]

I, I have a question about balls.

[Steve Cavino]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

If that's cool with you.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

Not, not your not like just sports balls, mad balls. What's your, what's your parental rule or your fun Uncle Steve rule on playing ball in the house? My kids are getting to the age where more and more nerf footballs, more and more little tennis balls. More and more things are being thrown around and nothing valuable has been knocked down yet. And I just know as a kid how many times did your parents like no throwing the ball in the house. And I don't want to be, I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I don't want any of my valuable crap getting ruined. But I also, if I see my son wanting to throw a little, a little, what do you call like a.

[Steve Cavino]

It'S like a rite of passage for sports.

[Rich Davis]

What do you call like a little, a little smush ball? Baseball. It's like a stress ball almost thing. I see him just throwing it against the side of our kitchen aisle. What am I gonna say? Stop it or do I let him do it until something breaks? Like do you, do you have a parental rule, Danny, in your house you have two college aged stepsons and a little boy. What's the rule in the Danny house?

[Steve Cavino]

It has to be the special balls like the silent basketball and the ball you're talking about, almost like the stress ball material. They make all that now to where you can throw these around the living room. You're not gonna break anything.

[Rich Davis]

I saw an ad on Instagram and I'm like, they're full of plenty.

[Steve Cavino]

It won't break window.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm like, there's no way. I saw some dude on Instagram or Tik Tok, he's like, look at this baseball. It's foam, but it has like the stitching of a real baseball. And this guy turns around and whips it against like his huge ass window.

[Steve Cavino]

And he's like, they're, they're like those squishy stress balls, but they're dimpled like, like golf balls kind of. And they have this technology that allows that according to these ads, that allows them to not break glass. And kids could throw them around and they're a little more worry free, but still, you can knock stuff over.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know if I trust that. It's remember, remember Elon Musk?

[Odoo Advertiser]

Life.

[Steve Cavino]

Parents are going to complain and kids are going to be kids. It's just how it is.

[Rich Davis]

Remember Elon Musk was like, this is unbreakable, didn't he? Like at some demonstration with a hammer and then broke the Tesla. Oh, I thought it was unbreakable.

[Steve Cavino]

You got to work harder, Rich. You know what it makes me think of? It's the most random line of a very divisive song. You either love Rockstar by Nickelback or you hate Rockstar.

[Rich Davis]

I'll have a quesadilla.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, that line itself is controversial. But you know the part where he goes, you know, because he's talking about being a rock star and living the life of a rock star. He's so rich and famous, he has a bathroom that he could play baseball in.

[Rich Davis]

That's what I like to play baseball. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

That's like, you want to have that sort of ability. Like, that's just how it is when you're a rock star. And that's how you feel when you're a kid. Like you're invincible and you can do whatever you want.

[Rich Davis]

I'm just, I'm just wondering, like, am I, am I like a cool dad or an a hole dad? Depending on whether or not I let my kids play ball in the house.

[Steve Cavino]

And you know what else it makes.

[Rich Davis]

Me think if they're throwing like in their football and like jumping on the couch, like, I feel like, am I gonna stop the fun?

[Steve Cavino]

It can't disrupt company, right? And they can't be knocking things off the shelf. But you gotta let the kids be kids and have fun. You did it, right? So especially if you did it, then you gotta let them do it. But remember, there was a setting in, I think it was like an early PlayStation game. It was. It was an MLB Home Run Derby game, but you actually played home Run Derby, like, in house, and you would just break things. Do you remember that?

[Rich Davis]

I remember what you're talking about.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. It was the best. It was so much fun. Yes. You let a kid. Okay, question. You let a kid be a kid, and you show. You let them show their. Their promise and love of the sport. You encourage it the best way you can, and then you. You. You give them a stern reprimanding when they break something.

[Rich Davis]

That's just how it is. Yeah, I. I agree. Hey, let them have fun. They're all. They're all young ones. And if your kid shows an interest to. Actually, if your kids. Kid wants to throw a football around the living room and dive on the couch instead of sitting on their tablet, I think you. You choose.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Here. Here's the football. Jump on the couch.

[Steve Cavino]

We didn't all slide around in our socks in the kitchen playing Nerf basketball with the. With the rim above the doorway.

[Rich Davis]

It's true.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, Come on. We all did this stuff. It's just part of being a kid. So just don't break anything now. Danny G's looking for winners in the chat. Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. Covino and Rich FSR On YouTube. You can see our stupid face faces. You see Rich's sweet 49er shirt that he's wearing all proudly today that Santa Claus brought him. But speaking of gifts, Rich, who gave you that shirt? Santa Claus? I. Listen, I.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I. I'm my own. I might. I'm the only person that bought me a gift this Christmas.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Nice.

[Steve Cavino]

Nice. I said that. You work hard, buy yourself something, right? Listen to this. Get this. This might be the. The greatest gift of all. Kim Kardashian went big for Christmas. This is according to us.

[Rich Davis]

She got more. Butler worked on it. Oh, went big.

[Steve Cavino]

Even bigger. Went big for Christmas gifting sister Courtney Peewee Herman's iconic red Schwinn bicycle from peewee's Big Adventure, a legendary piece of film history and memorabilia potentially worth over 125,000. And I think Kim got it at auction. Now you're like, wait, I thought the Alamo just bought one recently for their collection. And they did. There's apparently 14 of them that were used in the film the 1985 classic that came out on my birthday in 1985.

[Rich Davis]

So wait, you're August 9th. Is it true. Is it really true that the Alamo, for the fun of it, bought one just to put, like, in the basement? Of the Alamo.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. Well, there is no basement, but they temporarily put it on display. But I believe they are the proud owners of one of the bikes, my bike. Go to some museum or something and see one there. There's 14 of them. Kim got her hands on on one of them, and I think they posted it and it, you know, you remember the back license plate.

[Rich Davis]

The best bike in the whole world.

[Steve Cavino]

And it says Pee Wee, property of Pee Wee Herman on the license plate.

[Rich Davis]

Does it come with his bike chain? Remember the long, never ending bike chain?

[Steve Cavino]

I. I don't know what it comes with, but it's a story, you know, from the weekend. And it got me thinking, like, as a big fan of the movie I think is one of the classics. It's right up there with Casablanca and, you know, it's right up there. Back to the future, Peewee's big adventure. Is there other memorabilia in sports, in movies and film? That. That would be the only.

[Rich Davis]

So you're. So you're saying if. If you were taking it back to the 90s when, like, place like Planet Hollywood were impressive.

[Steve Cavino]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

What would you. What would be your 1. 1.

[Steve Cavino]

I'm not talking replicas either. I'm saying that what would be your one?

[Rich Davis]

Like, hey, welcome to my. Welcome to my. My TV room. Welcome to my man cave. Welcome to my setup. Take a look at this. I got my answer.

[Steve Cavino]

We always jokingly say rich. Yeah. Like in history. Like, Abe Lincoln's top hat would be like, wow, what a conversation.

[Rich Davis]

I've said that. I've said that. If I was. Was super baller, you'd wor.

[Steve Cavino]

You'd probably wear it out to dinner.

[Rich Davis]

I always thought it was funny how David Wells got the Babe Ruth Yankees hat and he tried to wear it in a game.

[Steve Cavino]

He wore it on the field taking off. Yeah, he had it on, so I.

[Rich Davis]

Thought that was cool. He got Babe Ruth's Yankee hat.

[Steve Cavino]

That's the best.

[Rich Davis]

I think Peewee Herman's bike's a good one. But if you were to ask me, I'd say, as far as history goes, yeah. Abe Lincoln's top hat has got to be the number one historical item that I'd be like, yo, how badass that it's Abe Lincoln's freaking top hat. Better yet, what about this one? Abe Lincoln's top hat. Or in the world of movies, which is sort of sports also, I would. I think Rocky Balboa's red, white, and blue trunks that he wore against Drago. Those, like, USA flag ones, which I know they make bathing suits and swim trunks like that now.

[Steve Cavino]

But the ones from them now, doesn't it?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but I think the ones that Creed and Rocky wore, that's, that's a top five answer for me. I think that's a cool movie item.

[Steve Cavino]

All right, so it is the holidays. Tis the season to give. It's the grassy knoll grundle of the holidays. What piece of sports memorabilia. Movie memorabilia would be the ultimate gift. And all we want from you guys is a quick follow at covinoenrich and of course Covinoenrich FSR on YouTube. YouTube and we're giving gifts to you.

Hey audiobook lovers. This week on the podcast I'm sitting down with musician, producer and walking encyclopedia Questlope, we're talking about Mark Ronson's memoir, Night how to be a DJ in 90s New York City. All right, like we talked about before, Mark Ronson found sanctuary in the DJ booth. What's a tool or piece of equipment in the studio or on stage that gives you the most control? So I have two microphones on stage. We have the microphone that you hear as the audience. Then we have a second microphone in which we communicate with each other. I feel like that second microphone kind of saved all of our friendships. No band likes each other after 20 years or 25 years. Like the Beatles broke up in seven and a half years and we're going on 35. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Danny?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, so earlier in the morning I noticed that Bleacher Bum 1695 wrote, Glad to be catching you guys live. It's making this workday a lot easier.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Sweet.

[Steve Cavino]

So I selected him for a Nerf football because you guys started the show by talking about everybody who has the week off or the day off. How about all of us warriors working?

[Rich Davis]

That's right.

[Steve Cavino]

So you know what?

[Rich Davis]

Bleacher bum, well done. You get that Nerf football. Thank you, Danny G. And just a shout out to Michael and Colin and Megan. Let's see. Scott Connolly, everyone chiming in on our intro chat. Scott Mayer, Jeremiah and let's go to your feedback, people. Also calling at 877-99-FOX. What is that memorabilia piece in the world of sports or movies that you. You would think would be the ultimate talking piece in, like, your man cave or your office? Ron, you're on. Of in front, Florida.

[Caller]

Hey, how you guys doing? I was going back and forth of.

[Rich Davis]

This, but I think ultimately I came.

[Caller]

Down to the golf ball that went in the hole in Caddyshack.

[Rich Davis]

It's a good one.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, especially if you're a golf fan. Yeah, that'd be a major bragging, right? For sure. And Rich, I was talking about baseball cards a minute ago. We always go back to that Billy Ripken f face car that we all had the coveted F face card. What if you had the actual bat?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, the f face bat had to exist, right?

[Steve Cavino]

Like, where's the bat? Like, yo, yeah, you got. That's cool.

[Rich Davis]

Never thought I got the bat.

[Steve Cavino]

Here it is, the actual bat.

[Rich Davis]

Josh in Ohio. What's up, Josh?

[Steve Cavino]

Hey.

[Caller]

Hey. Great to hear you guys. On my way to work instead of my way home from work. It's great that this is the conversation because I was introducing my 6 year old daughter to the sandlot today. I would like to have the forged Babe Ruth, the replacement ball from the sandlot that they put in Dennis Leary's den while they try to get the other one.

[Steve Cavino]

It's a good one, you know, especially if it's one of your favorite movies. What a cool piece that would be, right? Because it would just mean that much more. Forget about the monetary value of it. It's like the sentimental value. Like, this is one of my favorite movies. I love baseball. This is a cool piece of it. You know, these things are impossible to get.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go to Leanne in Toronto. Hey, Leanne.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Leanne.

[Caller]

Happy New Year, guys.

[Rich Davis]

Back at you. What's up?

[Caller]

I'm going off the grid a little little. I'm a big fan of everything by the Coen brothers. And I would like the rug from the Big Lebowski because we all know that it tied the room together.

[Rich Davis]

I think that's a great example. I think we're gonna say like a bowling ball from the Lebowski. Hey, listen, these are all great answers. I think everyone needs one piece in their house. I just don't know what I want to spend my money on. What's your one talking point piece?

[Steve Cavino]

Well, what's your favorite. Your favorite movie is. Is what Love? Actually Stop. Something with Rick Moranis.

[Rich Davis]

What's your favorite Honey I shrunk the kids.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, you know, Ace Ventura, like, you know, this is the actual Ace Ventura shirt. You know, like, you know, there's got to be something that you, your own.

[Rich Davis]

Little planet Hollywood if it was 1990 something. You know what? We got the time's up already. I can't believe this show went so quick. I have one final.

[Steve Cavino]

We're still going to be here tomorrow.

[Rich Davis]

So one final thought about last night's game because I'm seeing all the highlights like we all are going to see throughout the day of Bears, Niners, you could argue game of the year. That and Seahawks, Rams. We got two great games over the last couple weeks. They could arguably be game of the year. Everyone talking about how Caleb Williams missed a guy wide open in the back corner of the end zone on that last play. Yeah, I want to remind people that you know how wide a football field is. We know it's 100 yards, you know, long plus your end zones. We're talking about 50 plus yards wide. So if he's rolling back, scrambling around, backpedaling down the left sideline, essentially, you think he not only sees but could hit a guy in the back right corner of the end zone.

[Steve Cavino]

I mean it's, it's, it's all easier said than done, Rich. It's what people do. I mean, I saw the same thing and of course we're going to see that speculation. But is it easy? No, but I'm saying, but I'm saying.

[Rich Davis]

If he's rolling left and backpedaling on the left side sideline, everyone's like, there's a guy wide open.

[Steve Cavino]

You don't.

[Rich Davis]

The 49ers probably saw him and said, yeah, he's not gonna make that throw. So there you go.

[Steve Cavino]

Enjoy your Monday night football. We'll get you. We'll talk about it tomorrow. How about that? Right here on FOX sports radio, baby. See you in the promised land.

[Rich Davis]

Goodbye.
