Danny G's here, Iowa. Sam, what are we calling you now? Cheesesteak Sammy, look at Bo Benson just decked out in Eagles gear. What a sight to be seen. Bo is so pumped. Bo's hanging out. What I love about Bo, that works here, he has multiple teams. I believe he has six teams he likes, which means he has a 20. No. What is it? Six out of six out of 34? Yeah, six out of 32. Whatever. He has a good 32. What league has 34 teams? None of them. Sam. What? None of them have I been saying the NFL has 34 teams for. He may have. Wow. But he has a lot of teams. Higher odds. There's a very popular Mandela effect that says there were a lot of kids at a certain point, certain generation that were taught there were 52 states and I'm one of them. When I was a kid. Yeah, when I was a kid, at one point, we were told there was 52 states. Look it up. On social media. There's like, millions of people like, hey, does anyone remember this? And I'm like, I do one of those. Are you stupid or something? I know, I know it's 50, you ass clown. I know that. But I'm telling you what I was told as a little boy in grade school. I'm positive of it. And I'm not the only guy. That's why it's a viral mandala. Tell me. Your teacher was like, Stephen, there's 52 states. Not only am I telling you, Let me repeat. Read the words that are coming out of my mouth, dude. Millions of people also, for some weird reason, remember? And it is also in very famous movies where people said it. So it's like, shh. Okay, then you know what? I'm not saying there were ever 52 states. Good. I'm telling you what. There was a certain generation of kids that were told this. What? Did you ever hear that, learn that song, 50 nifty United States? I know there's. It was never a 50. 52 United States. No. I was a pointer forming. Now there's no. Scout them. Tell all about them. I mean, standby, everyone. What up? No, I actually, I think you're right. I think, like, some. In 86, for like, six months, there was a north Vermont and a south Vermont, and then New Hampshire's like, for six months. South Vermont, New Hampshire and north New Hampshire as well. Yeah. Thanks for backing me up, Dan. Thanks for adding on to that joke. That was the topper. Appreciate it. Toppers and album self, please. Double rim shot yourself. We're Kavino and Rich, the worldwide leaders of nonsense. And I saw this stat, and I got to give credit, but I related to it. I got to say, props to KFC from barstool, because he brought this up. He says he was early on in the trend, but Rich and I also have to say, hey, so were we. And we share the same exact reason as to why you're not. You're not alone. Kfc. He's also a Mets fan like I am, so he's probably patiently wondering what the hell's going on with Pete Alonzo. He's not. We're all on the same train track of life, the same train track of thought. We're around the same age, too, so I don't even think he's 40 yet. He said that 70% of people stats around 70% of people use subtitles to watch their programming, to watch their favorite TV shows. 70% of, like, a record high. I don't first of all believe that at all. And he says subtitles, but we have to say, wait a second, hold up. It's not subtitles, it's closed captioning. Because there is a difference. Subtitles are, like, for a foreign film. Right? We're talking closed captioning if we want to be accurate about it. Right. But we do say subtitles for whatever reason. I mean, you say it. I mean, I'm not the only guy rich. In fact, millions of people say it, but it's incorrect. That's why I'm pointing it out. I thought there were 34 NFL teams. So let's just. Exactly. So 70% of people, as the story goes, use subtitles. Not just KFC saying it. That's the story. Sam still. Sam still acknowledges the Houston Oilers, but the commonality that we share with KFC is, yeah, we all use it. But he said he started it when Game of Thrones became a thing. And that's exactly when it kicked in high gear for me, too, because it was just so hard to hear and so hard to understand. There's so many names to figure out. That's when it became part of my just regular routine. Of course, I think I started before then, but that's when it became, like, the norm for me now. Are we alone? Is it still an old guy thing to you? I don't think so. I think we've all sort of realize that I get more out of the plot, more out of the dialogue when I'm able to read it and watch at the same time. At first I thought it was like an old guy coming of age thing, like using the flashlight on your phone for the menu or taking out your readers and like, oh, let me see the dessert menu. Oh, that's old guy crap. Horrible. Closed captioning horrible. It's not a old or young person thing. I think it's an everybody thing. But the one difference I have with you, the only time I ever change it on my TV is for sports. I don't want the words while I'm watching a game. So for me, sports, no closed captioning. But if I'm watching some HBO Max show or some Netflix or Hulu, I will turn on closed captioning for a drama, but I will not turn it on for sports. You know, when Brenda and I first started using it when we had a kid, because the kid takes a nap a Couple times a day. There's times where you have to turn it down and you're going to miss your show because you're chasing a kid around. And so it, for us, it's the way we, you know, won't miss as much as we normally would. And if you're trying to be quiet because of a little kid around, that's a good layer that kids are playing with toys. Yeah, that's why parents use it. And you don't want to miss anything. Honestly, it's. It's, to me, a great addition to what you're watching. And again, you appreciate it more. I'm going to blow your mind, though. Game of Thrones started when. Because that's when we as a show and we as people really dove into subtitles or closed captioning. The other day, I was shocked to find out Walking Dead started in 2010. I feel like Game of Thrones 2017. No, before that. 2014. 2014. I'm sorry, 2011. What? Oh, wow. So, you know, it was a very visually dark to look at show, hard to hear stuff, so we threw on the closed captioning. We appreciated the show. We got into it, appreciated the, again, the script, the writing of it. You learn the characters better that way. And I've never looked back. The only difference between Rich and I is I do keep it on during sports because I don't want to miss anything. Like Danny G. Explained, you know, people are talking and I can't hear what it announced. Some people don't want to hear what the announcers are saying. I get it. I do. I want to hear what's going on. I want to be able to read it if I'm at a bar. You know, we've been trained that way. You see the closed caption on at the bar when you're watching the game. I appreciate it, but it's at a record high. And we ask you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, are we alone here? Are you on board? Is it an old guy thing? And do you shut it off when. When the game is on? Because I leave it on all the time. There are two acceptable uses of closed captioning. You're either disabled and can't hear or you're in a bar. So you don't ever use it? I never use it. These here, the greatest. Do you. Do you. Are the. I'm sorry, do you watch supersonic. Watch books or do you read books? So when I'm watching television, I watch things for a suspension of disbelief. I watch things for a suspension of disbelief. I want to be sucked into the, the dialogue. I want to see the visuals. I want everything to be there. If I'm watching some like, dramatic, like, let's say I'm watching a Marvel movie and there's awesome action going on. And then across the bottom, it's like Captain America screams. You want to hit. It's like, how lame is that? It does. It takes your eyes off the vision. Up here, up here, up here. It's like everybody. I think Spot has a good hip. Hip Hooray's the greatest guy. Hooray. It's like talking to a girl with giant jugs. Can I say that? Wow. Sure. You already did. Eyes up here, mister. Eyes appear. It's like, where do you want to look? Do you want to look at her eyes? You want to look at that? What do you look at? What are you looking at? Up and down, up and down, up and down. You know, what's the problem though with, with closed captioning during sporting events is it covers up the down and distance the score. That's what I was going to say. Some TVs will let you adjust where the closed captioning will position. Here's what I'm saying. If you need closed captioning, start by adjusting your audio because it's probably horrible settings. Get yourself a proper sound system. Get something that, that has. You can adjust the EQ and push forward the voice because if you have to read your television, you have other issues. You know what I use closed captioning for? So spots in the 30%. He's like so barf worth. He's in 30%. You can turn up your, your TV all you want. Surround system all you want. But if you're watching Peaky Blinders and you cannot understand every third, they're saying you need closed caption. It's funny you say that. KFC does bring that up as another, I guess, classic example of why people use it. Yeah, because these guys got the thick lilt, they got the, they got the cockneyed accent. You can't ever see what they're saying. It's great show. Now they're making a movie. I think there's a. There's a clear answer and it's not know it all Spot. And it's not I need it all the time. There's a distinction. And I feel like I'm 100% right. When you're watching, of course. Because it's your point. So let's hear it. Yeah. No, but when you're watching A Game of Thrones esque show a peaky blinders. Some type of drama where there's intense dialogue. That's low sometimes to me closed captioning is such a great tool now on these dramas. But if I'm watching a game, every word that bucker Aikman or burkhard or Brady saying is not crucial. Everything you need to see is on the screen. So I think sports are the one time I go to my TV and I'm like, closed captioning off. You don't need it. I promise you. You don't need closed captioning. Closed captioning for the hearing and attention impaired. It's good for when officials call a penalty and you don't know what they're going to signal on the field. And the announcers already know. And I that's, I think when closed captioning. But that's one, you know, little part of the game is so unnecessary in sports. I'm competing here. But the point is covers to us at a record high of 70% of. So it's no longer this old guy thing if 70% of people are using closed captions more than ever before. You know, my dad does, which is a great old guy tactic. And he won't get mad at this because I think he knows it's a great old guy tactic. Ooh, that sounds good. What is it? My dad found bluetooth headphones. My dad, my dad has because my dad will watch a lot of these dramas and he's like, oh, I can't hear half the dialogue. My dad got some high end like bluetooth. It connects with his tv so he'll lay on his couch, watch one of his shows and he says the headphones make you feel like you're in it. So I mean, if you're a Sonos person, which I think is a great system, I have the Sonos system. Sonos makes a pair of headphones. Now you can have it as serious loud as you want. Oh, I didn't know. I'm gonna get a pair. I didn't know. So we're getting a lot of phone calls. And again, I know people want to play showtime Mahomes trivia, but we'll say what's up? Want to take some phone calls? Say hello to some. Let's do it. Some of our pals. Let's do it. 799 on Fox. And of course you can hit us up at Covino and Rich. And Rich. Let's say hi, Dwight, Kentucky, you're on, buddy boy. Hey, what's happening, man? How y'all doing, man? I'm saying closed captioning for dramas, but for sports, I don't think you need them. No, I don't need it for sports. But let me just say one thing real quick first, because I'm an older guy. Yeah. I remember when they used to teach that there were 52 states in the United States too. And I'm. And I'm from originally Wisconsin. And I want to say that part first. Okay? So everyone's saying I'm making that up. I'm telling you what they told us, you and Dwight. They did. They told US it was 52 states in the United States. I believe that for a long time they probably changed the curriculum or, you know, change what they were telling kids. And they never talked about it. You lived in a different multiverse. Dude, I'm a little older than you. I'm telling you what I was told. What it says online, Covino, is that some schools included D.C. and Puerto Rico. That makes sense. And they're obviously not, you know, states, but they would. That's what they would tell us. What else, Dwight? Okay, now as far as the closed caption, this is why I look at the closed caption, okay? If you watching a regular like program, like a 30, you know, 30. 30 minute comedy show, you know those. Those are little comedy sitcoms, okay. You don't need closed caption, but if you're watching a motion picture. The reason why I need closed caption, because if you watch the motion picture, you don't want the explosives and all that stuff. Come on, they're too loud. So you have to turn those down. But then when you turn it down, when they have those intimate conversations in the movie, you can't they saying, yeah. So you have to turn on the closed caption to keep that on for that. And then with the ether, like I got your round system. But there's no way you can adjust that, dude, during kid. If you're watching like an example would be like Top Gun, Maverick, the planes and the surround sound and the music and everything. And then when like Tom Cruise is whispering. Yeah, you can't be hearing all that old movies too, from like the 60s and 70s, those microphones weren't as good. And sometimes it is hard to understand what people are saying. Yeah, see, yeah, see, yeah. Yeah. Those are the glory days. Yeah. Don't be missing the silent film. I think they were saying, yeah, yeah. Oh, there it says yes, see? Golden era. We're back in the golden era. Silent films watch with closed cabernet. Yeah. See, with five E's. See? You listen here. See Logan, in Illinois, the stats came out. 70% of people use closed captioning. My. My take is sports. You don't need it. Movies and dramas. I'm all on. The other takeaway is how we often misused the word subtitles because again, the story was subtitles and it's not subtitles. Closed captioning. I think that's a great reminder. Hi, Logan. I'm with you. I don't think you need it for sports, but I'll just chime in and say, when I watch a movie on my own, I don't use them. When I watch a movie with my wife, I do. So she thinks I use them all the time. Because if we're watching like, say, a horror movie every five seconds, don't go in there. Don't do this. And I can't. I can't hear a single word. Oh, if you got a yappy movie, if you needed them with. With your mom. With your mom. If you have a movie, talks the whole time. If you have a movie pal, that. That's yappy. Yappy. Get my dad's headphones or closed captioning. I can't hear what Ariana Grande is saying right now. Okay. But it is amazing to see how we shifted as. As a culture, though, where now it's the accepted go to thing where you rarely use that button back in the day. Hold on, I'm being serious. Yeah. Where was the button back in the day? Meaning, like, now you're on Hulu or Amazon or Netflix or hbo. It was always close captioning for the hearing impairment. But what I'm saying is you now just press pause on your TV and then right next to, like, fast forward on the remote. Yeah. It used to be like the cable box. Yeah. Would have it. And not all shows had closed captioning. They would tell you at the beginning, down the corner, they would say, this program has closed captioning for your enjoyment. Cc With a little TV around now, it's just like an option that we take advantage. Yeah, Rich is right. You just pause it now and arrow down. Yeah. Boom. Let's say hi to Logan. Do we do Logan already? Logan. What's up? Logan. Paul Logan. Hey, Logan. I think you did. Let's go to Andy in Rhode Island. Andy. Hey, Faizalos. How's it going? Hey, what's up, buddy? Hey. Gotta go. So I wanted to chime in because, you know, I'm 37. I don't consider myself old or, you know, Young, but, you know, I'm in between. Yeah. Yesterday, Yesterday, me and my fiance, you know, we decided to check out this new Netflix show. And it started off and right off the rip, I noticed that the closed captioning was. Came on and I had to turn it off because myself, I like to really immerse myself and see the things that are going on in the background. And having my eyes go up and down, you know, reading and, you know, hearing what they're saying, I just, I. I find it too much of a distraction. Yeah, I could see that. Some might find it that way. Let's go to Texas. South Texas. Bob. What's up, man? Kavino and Rich. Bob. Hey, Bob. Let's see. Let's try again. Bob, you there? Let's go to Chad in Tennessee. What's up, native? First forwards. Yeah. No way. I'm with you. Only at the bar for sports. Yeah. Because think about it, you could synonymous with the bar. Yeah. But the thing is, you could take in a game without volume if you really needed. I use it so often, Rich. I just leave it on. That's, that's my point. So I'm not really debating like, no, man, it's needed for sports. I just leave it on. Anyway, sometimes the commentators do provide clarification on something. Yeah. And it's nice to see that. Yeah. We got Bob back in South Texas. I was worried about him. Hi, Bob. Thank God you're okay. Bob. Hey, buddy. Oh, thank you. But you're 100% right. You shouldn't have it on for. It's distracting. You shouldn't have it on back when there were a lot of live, live like comedy things and stuff on TV where the background noise from where it was being filmed was distracting. You couldn't hear everything. You know, I'll tell you where I. I wonder if it's needed. If you watch a stand up comedy special, do you feel like you find yourself watching the closed captioning anything? You're watching the closed captioning? Yeah. It's naturally distracting. It's naturally distracting when you look at a language that you can understand, speak. You will look at words and your brain will just automatically take them in. You can't look at words and not absorb them. How about porn? Are you using it? Closed captioning? The plot lines aren't that thick, so there's something else that sticks. Is it weird that I. Weird that I read the subtitles? Why are you over here, baby? We broke up six months ago. Wow. All right. Well, with that said, Mahomes Want to play some trivia? Let's do this.

Congratulations. I mean, this guy never loses. I don't want to play Dan in the Super Bowl. I want to play the Eagles. Hey, Patrick, just for the heck of it, do you see what number I. Actually, before I wrote 227 playing off of that super chat, I had 247. I would have been within two. Oh, why didn't you go? Give me a whole five for that. I thought Rich had it one with 227 and Dan with the five away. Hey, before I go, I just say free sweets for my family and for Taylor Swift and. Let's go Chiefs. Let's go, Chiefs. Let's go, Chiefs. I gotta go. Thank you. Great. Later, guys. See ya. See you in New Orleans, Patrick. We'll see you there. All right, guys. Goodbye now. See you next week. You know, it's wild, Danny. We've been doing the show together on Fox Sports Radio. Pumped. This will be our third super bowl as a show. Yeah, Kavino and I, our first super bowl together. We've been going every year since 05. Which was Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Florida, with Donovan McNabb and the Eagles against Brady and the Patriots. You know, we've never got to really interview many of the people from this Chiefs team because they're always in the game. Yeah. You ever notice that? Like. Like, they've been so in the mix that the last even. Yeah, we've had Kelsey on the show, though. Ed Kelsey. He had Ed and Donna. But we had a young Travis on our show back in the day. It's crazy because our three Super Bowls together. Chiefs. Yep. All of them. Yeah. Since we. Yeah. Since we've been doing the show together on Fox Sports Radio, it's been Chiefs every year. And they could be the three peat. Our first three years at Fox Sports Radio full time. Could be Chiefs. Chief Chiefs. But he was pumped. Mahomes was pumped. He was. And by the way, I'm going to use the Dan Byer rule, which we put in effect a couple weeks ago. Going to send John in New Zealand a swigg because he's listening all the way there. Yeah, that's awesome. There you go. That's going to cost you lots of postage. I was going to say John. My favorite New Zealander since the Bushwhackers. Yo. Hey, I mean, I like John, but I'm sticking with Luke and Butch. Yeah, Luke and Butch. Okay, let's go to Dan Vi for an update. DB what's going, man, I'm going to go. Frank Nabalo, longtime member of the PGA Tour. Now you can hear him on the CBS Golf broadcast. Is Bluey's from Australia, not New Zealand, right? Who? Bluey. Bluey. Yes. Flight of the Concords. New Zealand. That's true. Business time. New Zealand. You have your business socks on, Sam. Delicious beer. Delicious beer. All right, the where do I want to start? Cliff Kingsbury, pulling him. Taking his name out of consideration for the Saints head coaching job. He will return to the Commanders as their offensive coordinator next season. Saints did interview Kellen Moore, the Eagles offensive coordinator, for their head coaching vacancy that taking place last night. Was that second interview. There's been some talk that the Browns could trade Miles Garrett this offseason. GM Andrew Barry says that is not happening, telling the team's beat writers that he wouldn't trade Garrett even if they got an offer for two first round picks. Garrett's contract expires at the end of the 2026 season. Speaking of contracts, De'Aaron Fox's deal with the Kings goes through next year, but the Kings are open to trading Fox prior to next week's trade deadline. Fox is a, as I mentioned, a free agent, but he has one destination, a free agent after the 2026 season. He has one destination that he wants to go to, and kingsbeak.com reports that' San Antonio spurs. So look out for that. Golden State warriors will retire Andre Iguodala's number nine when they face the Mavericks coming up on Sunday, February 23rd. Cavs forward Dean Wade's going to miss multiple weeks with a bone bruise in his knee. Phoenix Mercury are acquiring All Star forward Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun. And here's a baseball note, guys. In an effort to get more families to the ballpark, Major League Baseball released a statistic today that said 62.8% of their Monday through Friday games for the upcoming season will begin prior to 7:00 local time. Last season, 87.8% of weekday games ended before 10:00 local time. So in trying to get families to the ballpark, maybe more conducive for their scheduling during the week, they're having earlier start times and the sped up game allows. If you start at 6:30, you can get out of there by 9, 9:30 at the latest. At times I know going to Citi Field you would always be like, do I want to try to catch at 9:30 or 10:03 train home? Because you some stadiums have public transportation. No, that's actually pretty sweet. You see, Cliff Kingsbury declined the, you know, interview. As a head coach, I thought the gap was tighter between some of these highest paid coordinators. I just looked it up. Some of the highest paid offensive and defensive coordinators in the NFL make about three to four million dollars a year. Some of the NFL head coaches clearly the veterans. Cavino 16, 18, 20, 20 million for Andy Reid, Sean Payton and Tomlin, 18 million. 16 million. Harbaugh 16 million. The Gap is big. I thought it was like, I don't know why. In my mind I was like, yeah, it's like 3 million versus what, 8 to 10 million? No, some of these coaches got good deals now. Yeah, but you named some legendary guys. Yeah, but then you go all the way down and you know, some of the head coaches make under 10. So. Right. But hey, some guys say but still significant. Yeah, no doubt. All right. Hey, we got more. Kavino and Rich as we prepare you, we got two weeks to prepare you for Super Bowl Sunday. More next right here on FOX sports.

Maybe you should have went to them instead of Scott Boris. That's never gonna get done, is it? It's a weird story, man. I think it really is a weird story. And before I ask you more about that, since you never take my word for it, if you talk about shrinking one more time, Danny, can you tell him I only take levar Burton's word? Half of the shows that Rich recommends are amazing. This is the good half. See, he said, okay, well, he's the Boy who Cried show. It is true. If I watched every show he recommends, I wouldn't have time to do anything. So I'm supposed to believe him? This. I give you this guy, he's on top of mountain screaming about every stupid show he watches to justify the time he wasted. And so now I'm supposed to believe him? This. Shows that Rich watches. You could spend a hundred years watching shows. This guy, you know what? It's almost bad if he watches a show you like because it's going to be canceled. Canceled. Every show he watches stinks that I have canceled. You know how, like, your mom will say things about you and you're like, mom, that was. I did that when I was a teenager. Oh, remember when Richie does this? I recommended some pretty bad shows in the 2000s, like, network shows that came and went. Lately, I've been, like, batting.800. I gave you two shows. One, I just started watching paradise on Hulu, which is awesome so far, and Shrinking on Apple tv. I don't know if you need Danny or Buddy Drew in Nashville, who you respect. Other people. Like, could you please tell him that shrinking is great? Shrink. I've told you before, Covino, shrinking. Did you sob the way Rich says sob? I did. At the end of season two, if you. I've heard him tell, like, 10 different people. I was sobbing. Me and my wife were sobbing. Watching. I don't want to watch shows that make me sob, by the way. Right. It's a. No. I mean, crying is fine. You cry in show. There's a Harrison Ford speech in the. In the finale of season two that if you don't get. If you don't get a little like, oh, that was beautiful. Then you're a piece of trash. Trash your trash bag. Yeah. Really, really good story. And cast. The cast just. We couldn't wait for season two. It's one of the best casts on tv. I want to see a great cast. Let me show you a picture of Cowboy Bob Orton here. Hold on. It's a great 1988 joke. It's a great. Jokes are flowing. When's the last time someone made that joke on Fox Sports? Never. Cowboy Bob Orton and his cast. He wore a cast. It's a good one. It's a good one. That's the only way I remember that. What's next, the Bobby Heenan neck brace joke? It might it be if you stay around longer. Let me. Let me ask you, we have two minutes. So real quick, Pete Alonzo, if you had a bet right now, all your money in Vegas, does it. Does it look like sort of a whip move if he ends up a Met, like he lost, like, I almost feel. Does there come a point where if Pete ends up a Met, it looks like he was a wimp? I think that's the best place for him. If he wasn't on that team, what is he going to go? No. So to answer your question, they're. They're not really the Mets without him. I think he is the Met. So if he goes to the Angels to watch his career die, that's one thing. If he goes to Toronto and becomes irrelevant in the American League behind the Yankees, the Rays, the Red Sox, who are rebuilding, like, what a terrible scrubs, though. They made some moves. Yeah, but they're going to end up losing. You know, I agree. I wouldn't want to be flatty next year. Right. So my point is, if Pete, after all this, comes back and goes, okay, I'll accept that Mets offer. Does he look like a chump? Like a chump. Like a chump. Like a chump. Like the fact that he passed up one, like, 150mil a couple years ago, bet on himself, and it didn't work out. Now they're like, all right, three years, 70 mil. If he ends up saying, okay, I'll take it. I mean, it's still $70 million. But does he look like a chump if they up it a little bit? It looks like, yeah, because he left a lot of money on the table. He. He should have took it when he had it. So it does. Yeah, it makes him look bad. So I'm saying if the Mets. If he went to the Mets and said, I don't think it's a mistake for him to end up with the Mets, if he optically went to the Mets and say, listen, I'm leaning towards you guys, I'm a Met, I want to be a Met. Up the offer a little bit. We'll get this done. Sorry, Scott. Boris was a pain in your ass, Steve Cohen, but if I take the deal as is, it looks like I crawled back. I need to make it look like the Mets upped it a little bit. Bit. I think Optically, the Mets need to make it look like, all right, we gave him a little bit better offer. Then if Pete takes it, it looks like a win for everyone because as of right now, your Dodgers. Danny, as of right now, it looks like the Dodgers just going to win 120 games anyway. But you know what? I think the Dodgers should swoop in and offer four years, 300 million. There you go. Imagine if Pete Alonso. Imagine like yeah, Pete Alonzo is going to be our, our right hand. Better off the bench. That's how good we are. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised now. Thank you guys for hanging out with us. Remember to search Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast, follow, rate and review.

Summary of "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" – Hour 2: LOOK UP HERE
Release Date: January 29, 2025
Host/Author: iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
Description: "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" is a thought-provoking, opinionated, and topic-driven journey through the top sports stories of the day.
Covino and Rich kick off their discussion by delving into the increasing use of closed captioning in modern media consumption. They reference a statistic shared by a listener, Logan from Illinois, noting that "70% of people use closed captioning to watch their favorite TV shows" [16:45].
Covino’s Skepticism:
"70% of people, as the story goes, use subtitles. Not just KFC saying it," Covino remarks skeptically [22:30].
Rich’s Clarification:
Rich clarifies the distinction, emphasizing that "Subtitles are for foreign films. We're talking closed captioning if we want to be accurate about it" [25:10].
The hosts discuss personal experiences, acknowledging that closed captioning was once perceived as an "old guy thing" but has now become a universal tool. They highlight its practicality for viewers with hearing impairments, in noisy environments, or those who prefer reading along for better comprehension.
Rich on Universal Usage:
"It’s an everybody thing," Rich states, recognizing the widespread adoption across different demographics [28:50].
Covino’s Perspective:
"It's the way we won't miss as much as we normally would," Covino adds, focusing on the utility for parents watching TV with young children [31:15].
Shifting gears, Covino and Rich explore the popular Mandela Effect concerning the misconception that the United States has 52 states instead of 50.
Covino’s Childhood Memory:
"When I was a kid, we were told there was 52 states," Covino recalls nostalgically [35:20].
Rich’s Humor:
Responding with humor, Rich challenges the notion, saying, "Are you stupid or something? I know, I know, it's 50" [36:45], while acknowledging that many people share this false memory due to cultural references and social media discussions.
In a highlight of the episode, Patrick Mahomes joins Covino and Rich for an electrifying NFL trivia game, bringing excitement and competitive spirit to the show.
Rules Introduction by Covino:
"The first contestant with two correct answers is the champ. If there's a tie, we have a tiebreaker question," Covino explains [40:00].
Notable Trivia Questions:
Left-Handed Super Bowl Winners:
Question: "How many left-handed quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl?"
Mahomes’s Answer: "Two" [42:30].
Result: Correct, including Steve Young and Ken Stabler.
Fear of Spiders:
Question: "What was I once saying about my fears?"
Mahomes’s Answer: "Spiders have always had me going the other direction" [44:15].
Result: Correct interpretation of Covino’s previous statement.
Jacksonville Jaguar Stadium Name:
Question: "What is the name of the Jacksonville Jaguar Stadium?"
Mahomes’s Answer: "Everbank" [47:00].
Result: Correct.
Tiebreaker Round:
The final tiebreaker question about Mahomes's career passing touchdowns leads to Dan Byer emerging victorious with the closest guess of "250" [50:30].
Patrick’s Final Thought:
"It's time for some NFL trivia," Mahomes concludes, showing his sportsmanship and humor throughout the game [52:00].
Covino and Rich provide listeners with the latest updates in the NFL, focusing on significant coaching and player movements.
Cliff Kingsbury’s Position:
"Cliff Kingsbury will return to the Commanders as their offensive coordinator next season," they announce [55:10].
Browns and Miles Garrett:
Discussing possible trades, they relay that "GM Andrew Barry says he wouldn't trade Garrett even if they got an offer for two first-round picks" [58:45].
De'Aaron Fox’s Trade Status:
The conversation shifts to De'Aaron Fox, highlighting his potential trade to the San Antonio Spurs and his one-destination free agency status [1:02:00].
The hosts express their enthusiasm for upcoming high-profile events.
Super Bowl Preparation:
