Key Discussion Points & Insights

Sam Darnold’s Surprising Company: A Deep Dive

[03:48]

• The hosts debate a football trivia point: Sam Darnold is one of only five quarterbacks to win 13 games in back-to-back seasons (with two different teams, no less).
• Other quarterbacks in this group: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers (with a nod to Steve Young, Joe Montana, and Drew Brees as other consistent winners, though outside this specific stat).

[04:46 – 05:44]

• Context: The NFL’s expanded schedule has made 13-win seasons more attainable, but it’s still rare air and generally reserved for elite QBs and teams.
• Rich and Steve explore how Darnold’s current reputation is hampered by his origins (Jets and Panthers) and previous struggles, even as his stats (and possibly playoff run) suggest he deserves to be viewed differently.

[06:44]

• Big Mike: “[Darnold] enters week 18 with a shot at the number one seed… last year 13 and three, now again.”
• Steve unpacks how rare this back-to-back run is, and ponders what it’ll mean if Darnold truly leads a Super Bowl charge.

What If Darnold Wins the Super Bowl?

[08:26 – 12:34]

• Rich recalls Geno Smith’s famous line: “Sam Darnold was written off, but he didn’t write back.”
• They lay out the question: If Darnold goes to—and wins—the Super Bowl before the likes of Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, or Josh Allen, does he get full credit, or is he always “carried by his team,” Trent Dilfer-style?
  • Memorable exchange:
    • Steve Covino (11:00): “Has a ginger ever won a Super Bowl?”
    • Rich (11:14): “He doesn’t have quarterback face. He’s got red hair. There’s no way he could be that great. Yes. He did it back to back with two different teams. And if he wins a Super Bowl…that gives him a major edge and he should be put in a bigger conversation.”
• The consensus: Darnold’s transformation, perseverance, and success deserve more respect, despite lingering old stereotypes or franchise baggage.

The Path to Quarterback Success

[14:02 – 16:59]

• Comparing Darnold’s non-linear career arc to John Elway, Geno Smith, and current QBs like Trevor Lawrence and Jordan Love.
• The crew notes: Some QBs (Mahomes, Wilson) fall into “ready-to-win” teams; others must stumble until their environment catches up.
• Quote:
  • Rich (16:59): “A lot of the legends we grew up admiring…they all struggled in the beginning. So, it’s not a surprise that a guy like Darnold could do that.”

Sports Windows, Regret & the Burrow/Jackson/Allen Debate

[17:44–21:26]

• Annual “Super Bowl window” discussion: how many great QBs assume they’ll one day ‘get there,’ but most (Marino, et al.) never do.
• Recap of near-misses for Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen; skepticism about how hard it is to get “back to the big game.”
• Steve (18:47): “Everyone loves to say, like, ‘Oh, they’ll be back.’ That’s like B.S.…you might never get another shot.”

NFL Trivia: “Showtime Mahomes”

[29:10–37:10]

• Lively Mahomes-themed NFL trivia contest, featuring faux Patrick Mahomes banter and various sports questions (e.g., first Super Bowl stadium, first helmet logo, etc.).
• Mostly played for laughs, with Rich Davis emerging victorious, punctuated by Mahomes’ tongue-in-cheek lament of the Chiefs' “down year.”

---

Segment 2: UFOs, UAPs, and “The Age of Disclosure”

[37:24–43:11]

• Covino and Rich discuss “The Age of Disclosure,” a new documentary about UFOs (UAPs), touting its credible government sources and high production value.
• Key Points:
  • 34 government insiders—career intelligence and military professionals—break silence on the UAP phenomenon.
  • Congressional hearings have confirmed “unidentified aerial phenomenon” traveling at speeds (40,000 mph) well beyond human technology.
  • The guys ponder: Is it aliens, another nation with advanced tech, or something even weirder (time travelers)?
• Memorable exchange:
  • Rich (39:52): “Our best aircraft travel at, like, 4,000 mph. This [UAP] is traveling at over 40,000 mph.”
  • Steve (42:10): “If they’re saying there’s things that are going 40,000 miles an hour going against all science and physics…how do you describe it?”
  • Big Mike: “Just because it’s unidentified doesn’t make it aliens.”
• Humorous skepticism about blurry footage (“travels in a bubble!”), government secrecy, and whether people could ever handle confirmation.

---

Birthday Debate: LeBron vs. Tiger

[50:37–53:07]

• On the day both LeBron James (41) and Tiger Woods (50) celebrate milestone birthdays, the cast votes on who’s had a bigger impact:
  • Rich: “LeBron…he’s been on our conscious radar for 20 years.”
  • Big Mike: “Tiger transformed a whole sport.”
  • Consensus: Tiger had a bigger impact on his sport (golf), but LeBron is the bigger global superstar.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments With Timestamps

• On Darnold’s Company:
  • Rich (05:44): “The only reason we question [Darnold] is because of where he came from…He’s a completely different quarterback now.”
• On Darnold Winning a Super Bowl:
  • Steve (10:28): “If Sam Darnold gets to the Super Bowl and wins one before Lamar Jackson, Burrow, Josh Allen…do you have to start really respecting Sam Darnold on a different level?”
• On Second-Chance QBs:
  • Rich (08:26): “‘Sam Darnold was written off and he didn’t write back.’ He paved his own way.”
• On Windows & Super Bowl Rings:
  • Steve (18:16): “So many of these guys will never, ever get there.”
• On UFOs/UAPs:
  • Rich (39:14): “There is unidentified aerial phenomenon. It’s not a maybe.”
  • Steve (42:10): “If they’re saying that there are things that are going 40,000 miles an hour…how do you describe it?”
• On LeBron vs Tiger:
  • Big Mike (51:28): “Tiger transformed a whole sport, though.”
  • Steve (52:48): “Tiger Woods made a bigger impact in his sport; LeBron James is the bigger global star.”

Summary

This episode rethinks NFL narratives around “winner” quarterbacks by spotlighting Sam Darnold’s rare achievement—and raising sharp, humorous points about how public perception is shaped by early-career struggles, team quality, and even appearance. The hosts draw on other sports legacies (Elway, Wilson, Mahomes) to illustrate how success depends on timing and environment as much as talent. A spirited detour into UFO/UAP discourse offers both awe at the scale of unknown phenomena and skepticism at our ability (or desire) to understand it. The episode wraps with a duel of icons—LeBron James vs. Tiger Woods—prompting broader reflection on legacy, impact, and global reach.

---

For listeners: Whether you’re tuning in for sports takes or the UFO banter, Covino and Rich deliver fast-paced, engaging commentary that doesn’t shy away from nuance or the absurd. Even if you missed the show live, this episode captures why sports talk is at its best when it’s both inside and outside the box.

[Steve Covino]

You know I am totally going to make an excuse.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Steve Covino]

And say I missed the trivia question because I think Sam Darnold doesn't belong in this category. Sam Darnold's one of five think it's.

[Rich Davis]

More impressive that he did it with two different teams.

[Steve Covino]

Sam Darnold has won 13 games back to back seasons and it's only been done by four other people.

[Rich Davis]

Now quarterbacks.

[Steve Covino]

Now four other people. Who are those four other quarterbacks that have won 13 games in back to back seasons?

[Rich Davis]

You got two of them, Manning and Brady.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but then I conked out because I, Joe Montana, Steve Young and Drew Brees and and you know what I thought about and I and Big Mike confirmed this. Do you know how many elite 12 and 4 teams there have been in the NFL that mathematically had there been a 17 game schedule, they probably would have won 13 games because those teams win more than 50% of the game. So all the teams from the 80s and 90s and 2000, you always say.

[Rich Davis]

You'Re the first to say this. You can't fault the guy for doing what he's capable of doing.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, what I'm saying, it's like I'm not taking anything away from Sam Darnold. I'm just saying 12 and 4 was like your quintessential division winning one seed or two seed record for our whole life until that 17th game came into play. 12 and 4 was sort of the benchmark. If you had a 13 and 3 or 14 and 2 record, you were.

[Rich Davis]

Elite 12, 13 winners on this list. Hall of Famers or future hall of Famers.

[Steve Covino]

So the hint was the other two guys, besides Manning and Tom Brady were on the same team. Yeah, my friend.

[Rich Davis]

Again, the reason we bring this up is you're trying to assess Sam Darnold, especially Rich, who, you know, his team takes on the 49ers this week. You're trying to figure out how good is this guy. And I think the only reason we question that is because of where he came from. We've seen him struggle in the past, but he's a completely different quarterback now.

[Steve Covino]

The high risk, high reward. The guy's a little reckless, has a lot of turnovers, but can make some big plays. I thought of the other two. If you're saying they're on the same team, that was. That was the giveaway hint. So thank you. For a second, I dabbled with Josh Allen and Jim Kelly that I'm like, no, no. What am I thinking? Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre.

[Big Mike]

Yes, sir.

[Steve Covino]

I was gonna say, because Aaron Rodgers. There were years where I think, you know, we see the possibly 10 and 7 Steelers. If Aaron Rodgers won 10 games for the packers, you would have been like, well down year. Even though they did win their super bowl as a 10, 16. There were years where I felt like the bro. The. The packers were 13 and 3, 14 and 2, 12 and 4 consistently.

[Rich Davis]

Now, I'm not trying to be Santa Claus here or give away the inventory, but Steve, man199 also got the answer on our live chat. So I do. I do want to give him props. I didn't say we got to give him prizes, but I do give him props.

[Big Mike]

A turbo prop.

[Steve Covino]

Give some turbo props.

[Big Mike]

By the way, something else we're not really thinking about two years in a row. Darnold enters week 18 with a shot at the number one seed.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, all right.

[Big Mike]

So last year, you remember what. I'm sorry, Minnesota fans.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. You know, Danny G. That's a fantastic point. And you know what's. What's interesting about your. Your. Your fun fact stat. Right now, The Seahawks are 13 and 3. So you know what? Shame on me, because he would have had 13 wins back to back even without week 17. So my. My point of Sam Darnold, a lot of being in that category, I just totally bumped my own point because both years he was 13 and three last year. Last year 13 and three. They played, if I remember correctly, Detroit and got whooped. Detroit gets the 1 seed. Minnesota was a wild card. I'm hoping the same fate is for Sam Darnold this year if the Niners win. Ah, Sam Darnold loses week 18 and instead of being a 13 and 4 or a 1314 win division winner, he now is a wild card again. So Sam Darnold with this wide open division and wide open NFC conference, if Sam Darnold did go to the super bowl, how do you assess him? How do you look at Sam Darnold and say he's not like a Trent Dilfer like quarterback that you know is being carried, that doesn't belong there, but he's certainly not a Peyton or a Brady or Mahomes.

[Rich Davis]

Well, to quote the great Geno Smith, because I feel like Geno started that trend of, of second lives. The recent trend is, you know, Sam Darnold was written off and he didn't write back. You know, he paved his own way and he had a tough go at it. He bounced around a little bit and showed that he had the skills to be a dominant quarterback in the NFL. How about this? A winning quarterback.

[Steve Covino]

If I told you though that Seattle wins in the Bay this Saturday, which I hate the thought of that, but it's, it's possible, in fact their defense.

[Rich Davis]

Stop the 49ers offense.

[Steve Covino]

In fact, Vegas, Las Vegas, this is.

[Rich Davis]

A question of defense because we know the 49ers defense isn't really going to stop the Seahawks offense.

[Steve Covino]

They've been hammering, hammering like they're freaking hammering, Hank. They've been hammering the Seahawks in Vegas. That line opened with 49ers as a one and a half point favorite and now the Seahawks are one and a half point favorite. A three point swing.

[Rich Davis]

You know why? Because the 49ers just let up a lot of points.

[Steve Covino]

But what I'm, what I'm saying is I don't know if people are assuming, oh maybe Trent Williams is out and that's a big enough swing. But the simple fact that the 49ers, I know it's still one and a half points either way and that's, you know, you could say what does that even mean? It's, it's practically a pick them. But the fact that the point spread swung three points is significant. That shows that people are betting or someone's betting heavy on Seattle to win in the Bay. Now if Seattle wins, it's probably sir.

[Rich Davis]

Mix a lot putting money on it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Who's a. Who's. Who's Rich and Seattle.

[Rich Davis]

He's sitting there on his ass State. He's sitting there on Ass Mountain, putting money down.

[Steve Covino]

So Cove, let me ask you this. If Seattle wins and the super bowl, the road to San Francisco for the super bowl goes through Seattle, 12th man, one of the. One of the great home fields in football history, raising that 12th man flag, and everyone gets all fired up. If it goes through Seattle, Chris Pratt.

[Rich Davis]

Putting his money down.

[Steve Covino]

If. If that's the case, buddy boy. And Sam Darnold gets to the super bowl and wins one before Lamar Jackson, before Joe Burrow, before Josh, before Josh. Lamar or Joe, what does that say about Sam Darnold? Is it a, oh, the team carried him, or do you have to start really respecting Sam Darnold on a different level?

[Rich Davis]

You said it.

[Danny G]

Why.

[Rich Davis]

Why even question it? Because he's. Because he's got red hair. I don't even understand why.

[Steve Covino]

Has there ever been a. Has a ginger ever won a Super Bowl?

[Rich Davis]

No, I'm serious. It's either the fact that we've seen him struggle, but that should be even more of a testament of how far he's come.

[Steve Covino]

Gingers can't be Super Bowls. They don't. They don't have souls.

[Rich Davis]

He doesn't have quarterback face. He's got red hair. There's no way he could be that great. Yes. He did it back to back with two different teams. And if he wins a Super Bowl. Yes. Nanny, nanny, poof. Poof. To Josh Allen, Lamar and Joe Burrow. That gives him a major edge and he should be put in a. In a bigger conversation. And that's what we're doing right now when we say that he's in rare company with Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Peyton manning. He's got 13 wins back to back seasons. He's very capable. This team is very capable. So I think it puts him in a. In a. In a different conversation. You got to give him his props.

[Steve Covino]

I am. I only have room for Ed Sheeran in my life. The only redhead. I love Ed Sheeran. Besides that, there's people that agree with you, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

So let me back you up now. Troy V On the chat. Covino and Rich FSR live chat on YouTube Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube Troy V8513 Sam Darnold equals Rich Gannon Mouser. And Cincy says now he's basically Trent Dilfer.

[Steve Covino]

I see. That's what I'm saying. Like I wonder.

[Rich Davis]

So I get that's. The sort of stigma. But that stigma comes from a weird place of. Yeah, you mean the guy that was on the jets and sucked? You mean the guy that bounced around? He was on the Panthers. Oh, you mean the guy with red hair and goofy face. That's what you're really doing. Because the stats speak for themselves.

[Big Mike]

Yo, Dilford did not have Darnold's arm.

[Steve Covino]

That's true.

[Rich Davis]

Darnold's got a cannon. You mean Rich Cannon. He's got a cannon.

[Steve Covino]

There's a part of me that says, does it? Would we. You know, people want to give and take away credit very easily in sports. Like if Sam Donald's found a way to be the one seed and let's say they won the whole thing. It's funny how we would try to give the credit to, like, well, a new coach and the way of the defense and the team overall, like, the camaraderie, like, no one would want to really be like, well, you know, Sam Donald's a hell of a leader. We forget a couple years ago. Of course I'm going to credit my own team. I feel like him backing up Purdy in that Kyle Shanahan system. Remember, like, anytime there was a little glimmer, you're like, oh, you know what? Maybe, maybe Sam Darnold's, you know, if given the opportunity, and then he goes to Minnesota, lights it up, then goes to Seattle. He's lighting it up. And then you wonder to yourself, was he just. Did. Did he just. Did he just get the bad luck, though, of like, yeah, you start out with the jets and then the Panthers, two of the crappiest organizations in the NFL. Like, that's is. You maybe say, like, yeah, he just had terrible, terrible luck. Like, it's like someone that finds the love of their life, like, later, and it's like, yeah, they're a great person. They just couldn't find the one until they were 40.

[Rich Davis]

You know, sometimes again, he had the luxury. It really benefited him playing behind Purdy. Like you said, it gave him another chance, another year to learn and gain some confidence and grow a little bit. A luxury that a lot of young players don't have today. You watch that John Elway documentary I was talking about. Look, it's the Gooch of the holidays. Watch the John Elway documentary in your downtime. It's on Netflix. It's not that we forget, but it's crazy to be reminded that he had a bunch of losing seasons. He didn't come out. He struggled a lot to develop. He lost Three eventually again, got to super bowl, lost three. But in the beginning of his career, dude, he struggled. They took him out, he struggled. And that's what you saw with the Darnold. But he had the luxury of sticking around and playing behind Purdy and now maybe he found his confidence, he grew into the league and figured it out. Some guys, young quarterbacks don't get that now.

[Steve Covino]

Some guys get into a situation that is, you know, the team's more ready to win than others.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, dude, look at Lawrence, dude. People are going to write him off.

[Steve Covino]

To Trevor Lawrence finally coming into his own. And you could, he's maturing.

[Rich Davis]

You could argue that takes a minute.

[Steve Covino]

You could argue Kavino, Danny G, you guys could all, we could all argue that Trevor Lawrence right now is right about where he should be. And we're just so damn impatient.

[Rich Davis]

Yes, he's right where you, you expected him to be. It just took a minute.

[Steve Covino]

Not everyone.

[Rich Davis]

NFL's a fast moving league, man. A lot of these quarterbacks, some of these quarterbacks need time to adjust.

[Steve Covino]

You know, we, you know, his reput has certainly went the opposite, opposite direction now. But not everyone gets the like where Russell Wilson is drafted a little later and he, and he finds himself on a pretty ready Seattle Seahawks team at the time. Not everyone's Mahomes who isn't drafted at the top where he gets to sit behind Alex Smith for a year and he's on a ready team. Like so many of these young teams are not ready teams.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, they're just Jordan Love. Like look at, absolutely helped him a little bit.

[Steve Covino]

Now look at Cam Ward. You know, he's a good young player, but he's on a very not ready Tennessee Titans team.

[Big Mike]

Also, ETN doesn't get enough love running the ball. What did we see in the Elway documentary? What saved his career?

[Steve Covino]

The run game.

[Big Mike]

TD Terrell Davis.

[Steve Covino]

Terrell Davis giving that team another dimension.

[Rich Davis]

And Shannon Sharp.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, they were.

[Rich Davis]

But yeah, he credits Terrell Davis. Says one it's one of his favorite teammates.

[Steve Covino]

Well, how could it not be when you, when, when, when a good quarterback has a run game that, that is on the elite side that just opens up everything.

[Big Mike]

Christian McCaffrey.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, yeah, you could, you could say that McCaffrey gives you every opportunity to have Brock Purdy be more, more, you know, more versatile and more elite than he is. Right.

[Rich Davis]

If that's not my point, Rich. And even bringing up Elway though is, you know, we forget that a lot of the legends we grew up admiring, they all struggled in the beginning.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You know, they didn't come out and automatically just play great. So it's not, it shouldn't be a surprise that a guy like Darnold could do that. And you often bring it up like, hey, he was a great college player too. Like, why are we surprised by this?

[Steve Covino]

He's 28 years old.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly.

[Steve Covino]

Like, yeah, we act like Sam Darnold's 38 years old. He's 28 years old. It's.

[Rich Davis]

So if he were to win, he's in great company. Back to back seasons. That's the point of 13 plus wins and that's with two different teams.

[Steve Covino]

Some people find ways to win. I'm intrigued to see how this goes on Saturday night because we talk about it every year.

[Rich Davis]

There's going to be some divide with studio Dan Byers Seahawks, which is 49ers. This could be a fun week coming.

[Steve Covino]

There is a, it's a real interesting sentiment of what. We talk about it every year and it's not a tired conversation. I think it's interesting how as each year passes, that's one more year where some of these people that we all think, well, they're definitely going to win one, didn't win one. Like, how many years could pass where we say, oh, Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, oh, they'll, they'll, they'll eventually win one. Oh, Trevor Lawrence. Oh, yeah, yeah, Dak Prescott. There's a list of guys that we've all thought like, oh, they'll win one.

[Rich Davis]

Tell Dan Marino that. Isotoners.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, we've said it last year. I'll say it again. So many of these guys will never, ever get there. You could argue that Joe Burrow had a shot a couple years ago against the Rams and when the Bengals didn't do it, that was his shot. You could argue that Lamar Jackson, who dropped that ball in the end zone, Mark Andrews, was it their tight end. You could argue that was the Raven shot and they're not going to get back.

[Big Mike]

Hell, there's rumors right now that Baltimore and Lamar Jackson are on the outs with each other.

[Steve Covino]

You could say that Josh Allen has a little window of opportunity here because some of those other teams are out. And if you like, it's so hard to get back. I heard, I think it was DP or it might have been Rich Eisen. I heard, I saw a clip and I was like, I've been saying this for years as well. Everyone loves to say, like, oh, they'll be back. That's like B.S. that's like when the girl dumps you and she sleeps at your friend, and you're like, oh, if it's meant to be, she'll come back. She's like, you guys not come back together. We're on. You ever go on a.

[Rich Davis]

You ever, like, what's that old saying, though, Rich? If it's. If she. It's meant to be, what is that?

[Steve Covino]

Let her go.

[Rich Davis]

And it's, let her go.

[Steve Covino]

I always said that was BS because.

[Big Mike]

Football gods will decide.

[Steve Covino]

Who said that? Jim Harbaugh. No, but there. There's a. There's such a sentiment of, like, well, it's. You know, if it's meant to be. Yeah, I don't know about that. You know, you. I remember any time a relationship, remember, you would always have a buddy and be like, yeah. You know, my girl said, oh, she wanted to, like, go on a break for a little bit and like, yeah, break from your wiener to someone else's.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, Rich, if you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it's not, it was never meant to be.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, put that on a. Put that on a little plaque in a girl's college dormer.

[Rich Davis]

Push the quote. You're like, yeah, shame on you.

[Steve Covino]

And, like, you know, it's not easy. It's not easy to get back.

[Rich Davis]

It's not easy to get back, and it just wasn't meant to be.

[Steve Covino]

And, like, that's why, as a Niners fan, I'm like, oh, by the way.

[Rich Davis]

You know, who really disrupts your little, you know, meant to be thing? The Patriots being good again.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that is true. But that was.

[Rich Davis]

That was a window for a lot of people.

[Steve Covino]

But as a. As a Niners fan, I'm not very optimistic. You would. I love the way the offense is going, but the 49ers have been to the super bowl twice. With this current regime, you could say Garoppolo wants. Purdy wants. But with the Kyle Shanahan team of this core of Kittle and McCaffrey, this is a team that, in my mind, I feel like they've had two shots and they fell short to the Chiefs twice. So if they. If they somehow found a way to get back a third time, you can't let. You got. You got to. Kyle Shanahan has to figure a way to win in the big game because you can only get so many chances. I feel like they've already got their chances. So, hey, we'll see what happens.

[Big Mike]

He's going to be the John Elway of coaching.

[Steve Covino]

I certainly hope not man, listen, we got more Covino and Rich. We'll take your thoughts on Darnold and as we get into week and where do you really assess Sam Darnold if.

[Rich Davis]

He did win right now he's a really good quarterback. If he wins, then, yeah, you got to say, hey, man, he's a great quarterback.

[Danny G]

All right.

[Steve Covino]

Well, hey, coming up, we're going to do showtime Mahomes trivia. Now, you could argue Mahomes is a guy that, I mean, listen, he got in the way of a lot of people. He's already won three. He's been to five. The team's had a down year. Does a guy like, then you could argue like, well, a guy like Mahomes and that team's going to revamp. So you think they're done forever. Tom Brady had a little down moment in between Super Bowls all season.

[Big Mike]

Mahomes walked into our studio for this game on Tuesdays beating his chest about how the Chiefs were going to rip off five or six wins in a row. I can't wait to talk to him.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you want that attitude from your quarterback, right? You got to. You got to be confident.

[Big Mike]

You do. Let's see if he's humbled now, though.

What's up it's big long 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 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. This special episode of It's Up There podcast with Lone brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilead sciences on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm always trying to decide does this Uber or Lyft person want to talk to me or do they want silence? Right. You know, it's kind of funny because sometimes you get on the app, someone is about to walk in your car and it shows show preferences and you see something like prefers not to talk.

[Big Mike]

Where are you driving right now, by the way? Where are you driving through?

[Steve Covino]

Actually, I'm driving out in the Valley right now. I'm on the 101 freeway heading out toward Thousand Oaks. Because, I mean, rides are really slow these days. In this economy, I feel like I gotta drive further and further away just to get something.

[Big Mike]

All right, here we go.

[Patrick Mahomes]

By the way, I'm trying to be generous during the holidays, too. Hey, Rich, since you got that right, I want to re gift you a pair of fuzzy socks that Travis Kelsey gave me. Who the hell wears these things? You could have them.

[Steve Covino]

I love fuzzy socks.

[Patrick Mahomes]

All right, you can have them, buddy.

[Big Mike]

The first one, Rich, is on the board as we move to round three.

[Patrick Mahomes]

All right, Round three. Happy holidays. What was I once quoted saying about limits?

[Steve Covino]

A, limits, limit, limits. One of limits.

[Patrick Mahomes]

One of those funny words. Limits are just an illusion. B, I try to limit the amount to $20,000 for each ref's Christmas gift.

[Commercial Announcer]

Or.

[Patrick Mahomes]

The moment you limit yourself is the moment your life stays basic.

[Commercial Announcer]

[Patrick Mahomes]

Limits are just an illusion.

[Big Mike]

All right. So still Rich. The only one on the board.

[Steve Covino]

I swear, Patrick, it had to be. I thought you were gifting to the ref. No.

[Rich Davis]

All right, all right, all right.

[Big Mike]

We move on.

[Patrick Mahomes]

I. I gave them isotoners.

[Steve Covino]

I love how that was followed up with an 80s laugh track when.

[Big Mike]

Tyler, listen closely. You got a rally here. We go to round four.

[Patrick Mahomes]

All right, round four. Patrick Mahomes here. Happy 10th of the holidays. Who was the first NFL team to put a logo on their helmets.

[Commercial Announcer]

Ooh.

[Steve Covino]

That's rich.

[Big Mike]

Rich for the win.

[Steve Covino]

I'm gonna go Rams.

[Big Mike]

You are the winner today.

[Steve Covino]

Sorry, dude.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Yellow rams horns in 1946.

[Big Mike]

Yeah. They hand painted these yellow ram horns in 46.

[Patrick Mahomes]

And congrats.

[Steve Covino]

I appreciate it. Thank you, man. I appreciate you listening, man. You know, it is. I guess you think back, I feel like. I feel like some of the old footage, like a lot of these teams had no logos, but can you picture a Rams game without a logo?

[Big Mike]

No.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, but like, Bears, I feel like they were the most. Yeah, Bears had the logo back in the day. All right, thanks, buddy. Appreciate you guys.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Hey, thanks, guys. Six and ten. I'm really feeling it. Good luck to your Raiders Danny G next week. And hey, thanks, guys. Happy holidays.

[Big Mike]

Bye now.

[Steve Covino]

Good to see you guys. Thank you. Patrick. Yeah, I actually had a question for Covino. Now that we've got past showtime, Mahomes trivia.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. I'm saying bye to Patrick. Later, Patrick.

[Steve Covino]

He's in Idaho. So I. I watched the movie you recommended, and I recommended a few. You recommended something that. I don't know, I watched it and it's called the Age of Disclosure.

[Big Mike]

Oh, no.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah. Well, it was recommended to me, so I told you about it. I didn't necessarily say you gotta watch.

[Steve Covino]

You could buy. You could currently buy it on prime. My buddy's like, 20 bucks. And my buddy's like, don't worry, I'll find it. So he found it. So if you don't feel like paying the 20 bucks, I'm sure you have your little loopholes, but it's about UAPs, essentially UFOs, and they're saying this is the most legitimate UFO documentary we're talking about. Like, this isn't like crazy dudes with big hair on the History Channel talking about aliens. You got legitimate politicians and people that worked for decades and the FBI and CIA and.

[Rich Davis]

Well, what separates this one, Rich, is the fact that there's. I'm trying to get the stat here, 34 government insiders who reveal the truth. Like, these are all highly ranked and prominent former people who worked and served for the government.

[Steve Covino]

This isn't. Listen, and I'm not some big alien conspiracy guy, but this isn't some jabroni that had a cup of coffee and work for the government 25 years ago and he has a bone to pick. Like this.

[Commercial Announcer]

This.

[Steve Covino]

This. This feels like it's completely legitimate and it's you know, the congressional hearings within the last couple of years about aliens. My big takeaway is that we really don't know what they're. What's going on in the air. No, my big takeaway.

[Rich Davis]

Well, there, there's. It's pretty confirmed, especially after watching this movie.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

That there is unidentified Aerial phenomenon. There are UAPs.

[Big Mike]

Is.

[Rich Davis]

Is it from another planet, another dimension, another universe? Or have one of the nations that maybe we're competing against found some of these crash sites and reverse technology reverse engineered them to spy on us? We don't know. That's the thing.

[Steve Covino]

The ridiculous part is they're saying, but.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, to put it in perspective.

[Danny G]

Rich.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Our, our, our best aircraft travels at like 4,000 miles per hour.

[Steve Covino]

That was exactly what I was going to say there.

[Rich Davis]

This aircraft, those Tic tacs that they' is traveling at like over 40,000 miles per hour. So put that in perspective.

[Steve Covino]

And, and when, and when military mints. When Tic tacs. No, the one you have in your pants.

[Rich Davis]

The Tic Tac UFOs.

[Steve Covino]

The little Tic Tac. No, no, the spot. These they say, they describe them. They look like a huge clear Tic Tac, like the shape of like 40ft long and spot. I know you're a skeptic.

[Rich Davis]

Is it orange? Those are my favorite.

[Steve Covino]

Those are the best ones.

[Rich Davis]

Orange ones are the best ones.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Danny. I don't know if you guys skeptics and I'm not trying to be alien UFO guy with me.

[Rich Davis]

Are you saying you bought into it afterwards?

[Steve Covino]

I'm surprised.

[Rich Davis]

I thought you were gonna dump all.

[Steve Covino]

I just think there's nothing like, there's no like, hey, look at this. We got footage of an alien. But when you're telling when, when the government in Congress and people under oath are talking about unidentified things that are moving at speeds and making.

[Rich Davis]

They, they also say non human discoveries. They, they found bodies and different kinds of. Of bodies in these crash sites which they think may have been used. How do you explain that reverse engineer this technology?

[Steve Covino]

You realize we're talking to like millions.

[Commercial Announcer]

Of people right now, right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but it's a, it's a very popular film, right?

[Steve Covino]

Dude, it's an award winning. It's an award winning documentary that's going to be hitting the mainstream soon. But you can buy it on Amazon now.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly.

[Steve Covino]

The age of disclosure. Let me ask you, I do want to interject here. Let's remember that the key term is unidentified. That does not make them alien. That just means they are unidentified. Mike.

[Rich Davis]

But, but where did we get the technology? Did they always exist here? When we get the technology to, to create these.

[Steve Covino]

How did something, how could something make moves through the sky that we are incapable of doing? Just because you don't have an answer doesn't mean it's aliens, right? Look at Mike's head. It looks like a Tic Tac.

[Commercial Announcer]

He's not an alien.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but they say it could possibly be time travelers. To.

[Steve Covino]

You're saying time travelers?

[Commercial Announcer]

Better.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's better. Is it aliens or time travelers? Make up your mind. Got to be one of the two, right?

[Rich Davis]

What is it?

[Steve Covino]

You know what it is. You know what it is. What is it, Mike? Unidentified but then what is it then? If something is in the air that's.

[Rich Davis]

As smart as people in our, in our universe don't know what it is.

[Steve Covino]

If they're saying that there's things that are going 40,000 miles an hour, stopping on a dime and making moves that just are going against all, all science and physics that we know. How do you describe it? UNIDENTIFIED but what do you think it is? What do you think it is, Big.

[Rich Davis]

Mike but it's something that exists. Is it okay?

[Steve Covino]

Is it okay to just say, I don't know and leave it like that? Why do you have to conjecture? Don't you want that it's aliens or time travel? Sure, I want to know, but I'm okay with not knowing.

[Big Mike]

Let me check my iPhone. Which is the fact that.

[Rich Davis]

There'S, there's no debating anymore that it's real and that it exists. Whether or not we know. I get it. We don't know. And Mike's right about that. But it is real. It's real. And that's the takeaway from this film.

[Steve Covino]

When the smartest people on planet Earth are like, yeah, humans are not capable even close to this type of technology, then you're saying, well, it's unidentified Then what is it? I know it's unidentified, but what is it?

[Rich Davis]

And if you want to know what.

[Steve Covino]

The dumbest people on planet Earth have.

[Commercial Announcer]

To say, more with them next right.

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. This special episode of It's Up There podcast with loan brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilead sciences on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

[Steve Covino]

Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio telling you Aliens, bro. Aliens.

[Rich Davis]

The Age of Disclosure is the movie we're talking about. It's available for purchase only, it's 20.

[Steve Covino]

Beanaroos, but most people would say wait till it's like free on a streaming service. Which I don't think there's an urgency to see it. But let me tell you, talking to people that don't want to hear it, like spot our video guy or Mouser chiming in and Big Mike who runs this place that like just because it's unidentified doesn't mean it's an alien.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, yeah, but it doesn't make it not real either. It doesn't make it smartest. People confusing world can't figure it out. Then what's the issue?

[Steve Covino]

If you tell me something's going through the air at 40,000 miles an hour and operating in a way that human technology isn't even close to. I'm not saying it's a little mackin me looking alien, but then what the hell is it though? Please tell me what it is.

[Big Mike]

How could you not be a believer after that kid in Vegas a couple.

[Steve Covino]

Years back, there's like an eight foot person beside it and another one inside and it has big eyes and looking at us, big eyes.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, he can make the phone call, but he can't film the alien that's in his backyard.

[Steve Covino]

But.

[Rich Davis]

Well, they explain why some images are blurry. Because it travels in a bubble. Yeah, they explain all this.

[Steve Covino]

A bubble spot.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, go watch yourself. Why are we giving away the bubble?

[Steve Covino]

Why don't you go drown in a bubble? You guys, what if they live under the sea and they live in like the Arctic or something? Like, you don't know. You guys all think, you know, you thought Daniel Jones was gonna be the super bowl champion. You think you don't believe in aliens.

[Steve Covino]

All right, now today, two big sports birthdays and we're running out of time. But let me ask you. LeBron turns 41.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And Tiger woods the big five zero today. Is that true?

[Commercial Announcer]

Yep.

[Steve Covino]

Who has left more of an impact in the world of sports, by the way?

[Big Mike]

Tiger now eligible for the champions senior tour.

[Danny G]

Oh.

[Steve Covino]

With Shooter McGavin and Happy Gilmore. Thought so who left more of an impact?

[Rich Davis]

LeBron.

[Steve Covino]

Think so, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, both legendary. And it's kind of cool to pin them against each other because it's always Jordan or LeBron.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, LeBron against someone else.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

LeBron and Tiger woods, both legends, both goats. But as far as impact, Tiger woods, he's, he's.

[Big Mike]

He transformed a whole sport, though.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, no one cared about golf before Tiger woods. Except your uncle.

[Big Mike]

Yeah. I would have never, I would have never watched golf in my adult life had it not been for Tiger.

[Rich Davis]

He got into a lot of controversy for infidelity. Right. Those 18 other holes and you know, the trouble he got in there was a big part of his story. LeBron, though, man, he's. He's, he's been on our radar, our conscious radar, and part of our conversation in life for the past 20 years.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I was going to say Tiger Woods.

[Rich Davis]

It goes in and out.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Well, here's the thing.

[Rich Davis]

Consistent.

[Steve Covino]

I think both could be true. Meaning I think Tiger woods may have made a bigger impact in his sport.

[Rich Davis]

How about internationally? Who has the bigger impact? That's how you have to view it.

[Steve Covino]

That's a great question. The NBA is very international, but people love golf around the world too, I think. I think Tiger woods as a person that made an impact for his particular sport, I think is the answer. Like, who's made an impact on their sport? Tiger woods is the answer. But if you're asking me who's the bigger global star, the answer is LeBron James. You're right. Whether you love basketball or not, he comes up on this network, every sports network, at least once every day or so, just in passing. Oh, LeBron did this. LeBron's kid. LeBron this. Oh, he made the announcement.

[Rich Davis]

Everything LeBron does is news. I can't say the same for Tiger Woods. Even though hugely impactful for golf, they're both legends. There's no question. I think the edge goes to LeBron. That's just my thought. Bigger fun debate, bigger.

[Steve Covino]

International global star. I think the answer is LeBron. Who has met, who has meant more to their sport? Tiger Woods.

[Rich Davis]

Tiger Woods. Yeah.

[Big Mike]

I got one for you guys. Tiger LeBron or Michael Jordan?

[Steve Covino]

Stop it. We'll see you guys. Have a great week. Thank you, Dan Patrick for the letting us fill in. We'll see you guys later. Until then, happy New Year. Right. Arriva d', Arche, baby.

[Rich Davis]

Happy New Year. See you in the promised land.

[Steve Covino]

Goodbye.

[Rich Davis]

Later, guys.

No one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can.

[Steve Covino]

Do to help prevent it. Things like prep.

[Rich Davis]

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 as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs though.
