  • Steve Covino suggests, "Bruno Mars for the heck of it because he's impressive" [09:35], praising Bruno Mars's multifaceted performance abilities.

• Critique of Previous Acts:

  • The hosts critique Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance, mentioning it "lacked fun" [07:24] and didn't cater to a wider audience by excluding his hits for artistic reasons [06:17].

• Alternative Rock Suggestions:

  • Danny G recommends the Foo Fighters, arguing their broad appeal with both older and younger audiences [04:48].

• Devonte Adams' Performance and Attitude:

  • Rich Davis contrasts Kupp with Adams, expressing concerns over Adams' apparent dissatisfaction, "he seemed a little disgruntled in Las Vegas and then he went to the Jets" [31:24].
  • Steve Covino highlights Adams' potential if motivated by a winning team, "If you're asking me if I had to make a choice, it'd be that guy right now" [32:35].

3. Baseball Insights: Shohei Ohtani's Dual Role

The discussion briefly touches on baseball star Shohei Ohtani's performance, debating the sustainability of his dual role as a pitcher and hitter.

• Managing Ohtani's Workload:
  • Steve Covino suggests innovative scheduling, "Why not have him go every seventh day. If you say hot right now is different" [35:54], proposing that Ohtani could start fewer games to prolong his career.
  • Rich Davis considers the practicality, "It could be crazy to say Ohtani starts 15 to 20 games a year instead of 33, 34" [35:21], acknowledging the challenges in altering traditional roles.

4. Listener Interactions and Light-Hearted Banter

Throughout the episode, the hosts maintain a playful dynamic, engaging with callers and sharing humorous anecdotes.

[Rich Davis]

Aren't they like both like 20 something?

[Steve Cavino]

I mean, I don't know, but I just saw that and they were like, we're happy to share the news.

[Rich Davis]

That's very young. No.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, anyway, yeah. You have your whole life to ruin it.

[Rich Davis]

Is this true? Our buddy Spot hit me up saying that Bianca Sensory has left Kanye and I'm guessing myself, like, I mean, what else would it have to take?

[Steve Cavino]

So she's saying there's a chance.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, you know, as I said the other day, so if you're in.

[Steve Cavino]

The market for an AI robot person, she's available.

[Rich Davis]

There. There are women. There are women. Now, I did. I mentioned this the other day. There's women taking photos of her when she was naked on the red carpet to plastic surgeons being like, that's the ass I want. So listen, I guess that'll cost you $100,000. I guess when you're married to a guy that's, you know, openly talking about how he loves Hitler and he's a Nazi. That's the breaking point.

[Steve Cavino]

So why do you.

[Rich Davis]

If that's not the breaking point? If that's not the breaking point, then what is?

[Steve Cavino]

Why do you have that picture saved on your phone?

[Rich Davis]

A Bianca Sensory.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, in case I want to get my ass done.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, that's the ass you want to. I didn't know. All right. So anyway, we're Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Shout out to Elijah puts our videos up at Covine. Owen Rich, fox Sports Radio, YouTube. Danny G's on the phones at 87799 on Fox. Sam is here. DB has your updates. But we're doing Old School when 50 hits our Throwback Thursday conversation again. 50, 50. When it came to the reactions of halftime this year. So if you were in Roc Nation, if you were part of Jay Z's crew, who would you have lined up for next year? San Francisco.

[Rich Davis]

And.

[Steve Cavino]

And what was your favorite from back in the day?

[Rich Davis]

Could I. I'm going to show you how this is done so we don't have bird brains going on and on and on. Meanwhile. Is that what I'm doing?

[Steve Cavino]

I think so.

[Rich Davis]

All right, here's how it goes. What's your favorite? Who do you suggest? Here's my answer. My favorite. Everybody. Prince in the Rain, Silhouette. Unbelievable. Prince is my answer. My favorite old school halftime show. And who do I think should perform in the Bay area Super Bowl 60. And we said the one rub. You can't say Metallica. It's too obvious an answer. They're from the Bay Area and we are due for a rock show. I'm going a combo show. Post Malone featuring Miley Cyrus.

[Steve Cavino]

I like it. I like it.

[Rich Davis]

Post Malone and Miley.

[Steve Cavino]

That's a good one, actually. Yeah.

[Danny G]

I've seen the past couple days, since the weekend, people saying Post Malone would be a good idea. But because they're like, oh, he could bring out country stars now and rock stars and obviously he had hip hop back in the day. Book. You've made the point, Covino. It gets kind of corny when things are staged like that.

[Steve Cavino]

It could. But I like, look, I hate Rich's music taste, let's be honest about it. But I think that's a pretty decent answer. I really do. Because Post Malone's so versatile.

[Rich Davis]

Post Malone could bring out a country artist and then a hip hop artist and then pop star.

[Danny G]

But then what does he look like? Like, does, you know, does he keep going back and changing to what he looked like in white? IVERSON to now, what he's doing, the way he looks with his country music now, you know what I mean?

[Steve Cavino]

Wardrobe changes, man.

[Rich Davis]

I'll give you this, Danny Jake.

[Danny G]

That's why I think it could be kind of corny.

[Rich Davis]

I think that he's also the answer that because he's mainstream enough, he has about five songs. Like your Aunt Nancy would recognize. He's a big star. Post Malone. Let's go to Tripp in Vegas. Trip, you're on with Kavin on Rich Old School. And then who do you think?

[Steve Cavino]

Trip McNeely. What up, Tripp, everybody.

[Tripp McNeely]

Hey, gentlemen, first, real quick. I know. I don't mean to be long, but, hey, I just want to say to the nation, your people, thanks a lot, Danny G. For setting that up to come out and meet you guys at the fight. You guys could not be two of the more nicer people I've ever met in my life. Tripp, I just want to say that.

[Rich Davis]

It was a pleasure. And by the way, Tripp, thanks for the Tito's vodka you bought me. I remember those things. I owe you. Next time, Tripp.

[Steve Cavino]

You were taller than I expected. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Tripp's like. Tripp could play in the NBA.

[Steve Cavino]

Trip's like six'four who's this guy? He's seven foot tall.

[Tripp McNeely]

The best part about it was when he ordered his drink, he goes, don't forget my straw. I'm like, no, I'm just kidding.

[Rich Davis]

Give me your old school, Trip. And who do you think should be in the Bay Area next year?

[Tripp McNeely]

You've already. You said what I was going to say. Prince 2007, because that was insane. In the lightning, he said, the show's going on. And then I was going to say post Malone. Unbelievable.

[Rich Davis]

Look at that. Am I that? Am I that on the right.

[Steve Cavino]

You know why? Because the criticism with Kendrick Lamar is. Or the show was. It was. It was so Kendrick that if you don't know his music, like, then you really weren't entertained that much. And he didn't play any of his. Any of his hits for money reasons.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, he.

[Steve Cavino]

That's the rumor.

[Rich Davis]

He left off some hits and you could argue is more artistic than for the masses.

[Steve Cavino]

And. And you could argue that Post Malone gives you a little bit of everything where that would eliminate the controversy. Right. It would include more people. So I do like that answer. I don't hate Post Malone. I think you know where I changed during COVID He did a rock. A live rock concert from, like, his house. And he did a Nirvana tribute. He won you over With Travis Barker and everybody. Yeah, I thought that was awesome. I was like, man, this guy's great. I didn't realize he was that versatile.

[Danny G]

Huey Lewis in the news, you know.

[Rich Davis]

Huey Lewis and Joe Montana were great, great friends when. You know what Danny played for the.

[Steve Cavino]

Hold on Here, let's. That sounds like you're being facetious. Right?

[Rich Davis]

But you could do a tribute.

[Steve Cavino]

No, no, like an 80s.

[Danny G]

Oh, that would be cool.

[Steve Cavino]

Like, featuring Huey Lewis, Lionel Richie, like, you know what I mean? Like an 80s. Like, whoa. No way. Google.

[Danny G]

Yeah, because we just did.

[Sam]

We just did Boy George.

[Steve Cavino]

No way.

[Danny G]

Three or four contempor artists in a row, so that would make sense.

[Steve Cavino]

Yo, but how fun would that be? Well, you know, and that brings back the fun. Like, you know what? You know what Kendrick Lamar lacked, in my opinion? And this is no criticism. This is just my stupid opinion. Opinions are like podcast. Everybody has one. Most of them stink. It lacked fun. It's the Super Bowl. There was no fun had. Right? Imagine Boy George comes out after Lionel Richie, after Huey Lewis.

[Rich Davis]

But what if it was all like.

[Steve Cavino]

And by the way, I'm just naming random 80s.

[Rich Davis]

I was gonna say a criticism is that also, do you like it when they tie the artist to the city? That's why everyone thought it was gonna be Lil Wayne this year, because it's New Orleans. I think they should, because it's the Bay Area. Do you say, all right, a compilation of Bay Area artists, or do you say that's. Nah, who cares?

[Steve Cavino]

I like the whole. You just. Hey, it's an 80s celebration. You have 80s pop stars out there. There's so many pop stars. Cyndi Lauper comes out.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, you're trying to appeal to a younger audience. You go, Kendrick Lamar. You don't go. You don't appeal to our dads the next year. That's a good point.

[Danny G]

What if you did. Each generation represented, like, Bay Area musicians.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. You could be creative. I like that. I like that.

[Rich Davis]

Any ideas, Dan Byer?

[Dan Beyer]

Well, I was gonna say one thing, and then I'll give you another. The performance by Kendrick Lamar. And I know I'm one of the fortunate and the few that was in the dome during the performance, and I was critical of it, so I watched it when I got home, and it was a better TV viewing experience, as you likely would expect, than being there. But my experience from being there, it was, you know, the crowd wasn't. Wasn't super into it, but I could see why people really enjoyed it. And I enjoyed it more watching it on TV than being in the dome. So maybe that's why there weren't a lot of loud cheers.

[Steve Cavino]

Super creative camera angles and.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, imagery and everything else. Yeah, I mean, I could see that completely.

[Dan Beyer]

What about the Killers?

[Steve Cavino]

Well, you said. You said Mr. Brightside had the stadium going crazy.

[Rich Davis]

Well, Mr. Brightside, I think I've. I always say this when I'm on the SiriusXM channels. I think Mr. Brightside is the best bar song and stadium song in the last 25 years.

[Dan Beyer]

You're thinking of. You need five songs, six songs. It's 13 minutes is basically what you got to fill your portions of each of them.

[Steve Cavino]

I think they close with.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm the man.

[Steve Cavino]

I like that one. All right, so let me give you my answer before we go back to the phones. 877-99-FOX. You're going to say I'm being facetious. I'm not. If you really want my super bowl halftime pick, there's not many. I'm not, like, blown away by super bowl halftime shows. I'll say Bruno Mars for the heck of it because he's impressive.

[Rich Davis]

That was your favorite?

[Steve Cavino]

I mean, I love him.

[Rich Davis]

He's like.

[Steve Cavino]

He went on the drum kit. He's like a. He could do it all. So I'm impressed by the guy. It's a fair answer, I think. Creed. 2001 Thanksgiving game in Dallas.

[Rich Davis]

Creed.

[Steve Cavino]

Because they did that. My Sacrifice Higher mix, there was an aerialist floating around guy like, on the Scar. It was like it had the essence of a real halftime performance. Can you take me and. Dude, they had a major successful run last year. So when. When I'm saying my favorite, it's almost a joke at this point, but when you watch it now, it's sort of magnificent. It's the 2001 Thanksgiving Dallas game. Creed. Right. So I'll say that's my favorite. That or Bruno Mars. But as far as who, who could they do? Let's balance it out. Kendrick Lamar was very. Kendrick Lamar was Kendrick and. And Sza. Why can't they do an angry divorce dad rock combo? Right? Like, hey, you know what? We're going to rock out this year? Switch it up. It's Roc Nation. And we're going to bring it not too far back, but to the early 2000s. The Butt Rock. I got to say this because I'm synonymous with Turbo 41 on SiriusXM. Yeah, I'm on every night. But you bring out System of A Down and corn. Who is not going to rock out to that?

[Rich Davis]

People that don't like rock music. I like the answer. I get it. But guess what?

[Steve Cavino]

Not everybody loves rap music. So they didn't care about you then.

[Danny G]

How about Covina? A little compromise? Because my answer is Foo Fighters.

[Steve Cavino]

I love Foo Fighters.

[Danny G]

Who I saw in Tennessee a couple years back. And I say that because our 14 year old who's been sick at home all week pumping her music.

[Sam]

Have Foo Fighters already done a show?

[Steve Cavino]

No, no Super Bowl.

[Danny G]

She plays Foo Fighters from her playlist. She likes a couple of their songs. Her parents like the song. So I'm trying to think of a rock group.

[Steve Cavino]

Wait, I got.

[Sam]

Here's the.

[Steve Cavino]

Hold on.

[Danny G]

Yeah, Parents and the kids.

[Sam]

Here's the problem with the Killers. System of Down Corn. And what did we just say? Foo Fighters. They're not. They're, like, not the most relevant they've ever been right now.

[Steve Cavino]

Okay, I got dead.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's be real.

[Sam]

There's no big rock band in the top five.

[Steve Cavino]

Matchness Ready? Rock needs to come back to life, Sam. Imagine this.

[Sam]

Lay it on me.

[Steve Cavino]

You hear the sweet baseline kicking in, right? Just imagine. And all of a sudden you see, like, a red Yankee hat popping out. And you hear, y'all know what time it is. Oh, my God, it's Fred there. But he brings out Wuang Clan and Method Man. So Limp Bizkit, we just came up with corn. No, because they did a song together in Together Now. So what if Limp Bizkit comes out and they're all angry dads with beards and everything? Yeah, and then Method. Yeah, it's a cow. Method Man's doing his thing. So you got hip hop, rock and rap all going on, bro. If you want to sign me up.

[Sam]

If you want to capture, like, what they did with Snoop and Eminem and. Was it Mary J. Blige, all those people in L. A? Kind of the nostalgia thing. But again, it's like you're kind of like Limpisky was, like, 25 years ago.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, I was saying. Let me. Let me take you back.

[Steve Cavino]

They do.

[Rich Davis]

They do.

[Sam]

That's why if you're going to go for that, it's okay.

[Rich Davis]

I would say I like it. Let me take you back. Because before. Before they've gone more relevant, Right. Recently, it's been about who's hot now.

[Steve Cavino]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

It's true.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. But you know, it's not about who's hot right now. Because then you would say, chapel Ron should be in the halftime show. You got to have a resume.

[Rich Davis]

What I'm saying is, lately it's been a Star that's currently peaking.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, but Patrick has a resume. He's been doing it for over 10 years.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Steve Cavino]

But you say hot right now is different.

[Rich Davis]

No, you're not letting me finish my sentence. I was Sam as saying these other artists are not washed, but their. Their best days are behind them. They are so hot right now. Recently, they've gone with artists who have a current big smash. Not Like Us was the most decorated song of all time at the Grammys a week before he did halftime. Rihanna, Beyonce. You know, we've done retro acts back in the day. It just recently, it feels like they've gone to the current artist. I mean, there were years when they had Paul McCartney coming out there.

[Sam]

And the who.

[Rich Davis]

They had the who.

[Sam]

They had Bruce Springs for decades past. So.

[Rich Davis]

So to. So to say that the super bowl halftime show never goes retro. The Foo Fighters is a great answer because I don't know who doesn't like Dave Gro in the Foo Fighters. So if you said Foo Fighters, but then also brought out a Miley or Post Malone, and I keep bringing them up because I think they're mainstream enough. But Miley, who doesn't like Miley?

[Steve Cavino]

I got it. I got it. A rock star that even your most like, urban hip hop guy could appreciate. Lenny Kravitz comes out and brings out everybody. He brings out rock stars and hip hop stars. He's like Bailey Bailey.

[Rich Davis]

Did he ever do a Super Bowl?

[Steve Cavino]

No, but he should. He's a rock star. He, in my opinion, is the epitome of rock star. That could bring out a Little Wayne and that could bring out a Dave Grohl. Yeah, he's right there in the middle man for me. He collaborates with a lot of people.

[Rich Davis]

I don't trust anyone with a six pack when they're 60 years old.

[Steve Cavino]

And Lenny Kravitz has the. What's the word? This is the word I'm thinking of. But he has that rock star ability, the moxie. That's a good one. He has the moxie to be.

[Sam]

He's got the. Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

The star of a Super bowl halftime show.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think anyone would argue Lenny Kravitz. I don't think anyone would argue the Foo Fighters, Post Malone and Miley. I keep bringing that up. I'm going to give you one more. And then again, then it's all you. Phones are hot. Every line is lit. They're so lit. There's an artist that I personally love, and I just can't. I don't know if the temperature of the room would agree that. I mean, you would know 10 of their songs immediately.

[Steve Cavino]

Ed Sheeran, he's fantastic.

[Rich Davis]

He does stadiums around the world. It's not like he's. I mean, he's as big as any of them. And Ed Sheeran, he does that thing where he'd play. He does the repeater pedal. And he could do, like, a whole song by himself, like Ed Sheeran. If he brought out, like, Ed Sheeran and friends, because he's worked with Post Malone, he's worked with Miley and stuff, he's worked a lot of these artists. So is Ed Sheeran a bad choice? I love Ed Sheeran.

[Sam]

Do we give international stars, like, the super bowl stage a lot? I feel like we don't. I feel like we always go with, like, a domestic product.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but you make it seem like Ed Sheeran's not a big star here.

[Steve Cavino]

No, he is.

[Sam]

I'm saying he's not American, though.

[Danny G]

He's.

[Sam]

He's Irish, whatever. Scottish or whatever. He's English.

[Steve Cavino]

You just don't like gingers, huh?

[Sam]

Well, people say I look like.

[Steve Cavino]

Tell us how you really feel.

[Sam]

I approve of Ed Sheeran because people say you look like Ed Sheeran.

[Danny G]

That sounded very gingerous.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, you're gingerist, man.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, I don't think it was a compliment. I don't think it was a compliment when that girl said, oh, my God, you look like a cheering. He's known for his talents, but let's go, let's go. We'll start with big Bert in Georgia, and we'll go down. What's up, big Burt?

[Tripp McNeely]

Hey, guys, thank you for having me on again. Hey, great New York minds think alike. Prince in the rain. You can't beat that man. He is the man back in the day. But here's who you need to bring for the next Super Bowl.

[Steve Cavino]

Drake back to Cali.

[Tripp McNeely]

Think about that.

[Steve Cavino]

Drake the year after Kendrick might be my only criticism. Guy for dude has hits for days. I get it. My only criticism for Drake is he's too low energy for Super Bowl. That's my only criticism.

[Danny G]

Big Burch just wants to see the battle continue.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. But, yeah, I get it. He gets his, you know, his chance to clap back.

[Rich Davis]

I felt that way about Usher if he had not brought out, if he had not done. Yeah, a lot of Usher songs I felt were very too R and B ish for that stage. And I love Usher. Bobby in Mississippi. What's up, Bobby?

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Bobby.

[Tripp McNeely]

Guys, I love the show. Thank you. I'm gonna Say, my favorite was Michael Jackson back in the day, the great one. I'd like to see Carrie Underwood at the next one.

[Rich Davis]

She's fantastic. I saw her with Guns N Roses in Nashville. Carrie Underwood is deserving of. And she got the tie in because she does a Sunday night Football.

[Danny G]

She's got a song with Papa Roach right now, too.

[Rich Davis]

She does. That is true.

[Steve Cavino]

There's a light on you.

[Danny G]

There's opportunities to bring. You have some other acts out.

[Rich Davis]

Michael Jackson, quick fun fact. Do you know the story behind him doing the super bowl halftime show? Did you hear. You ever see that?

[Danny G]

How he made the director wait?

[Rich Davis]

Yes. Do you see? It was floating around TikTok and Instagram, apparently. Michael Jackson. You know how the halftime show is timed to the second because they can't delay it. The game has to pick up. Michael Jackson said, don't you dare hit the song until I take my sunglasses off. He's standing there, remember, just still and like Michael, you're 10, 20, 30 seconds over, a minute over. And he wouldn't take the glass off because he was waiting for the right moment to build the suspense. And the director was losing his mind because the halftime show, you can't. You can't be fiddling around with two minutes. And it's hilarious. The guy's. The guy almost lost it. Dave in Missouri, what's up?

[Tripp McNeely]

Hey, guys, thanks for making my call.

[Steve Cavino]

No problem. What's up?

[Tripp McNeely]

The most memorable there. I remember several good ones, but that's the most memorable to me. Also. Blink 182. They're from California, not San Fran. They're from San Diego. But you can't tell me no one's going to be sitting or everyone's going to be going crazy if all the small things comes on, you know, I.

[Steve Cavino]

Think it's got to be a Blink slash Green Day performance at that point.

[Sam]

Green Day is from that area.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. Well, they're all from California and I think that.

[Rich Davis]

Throwing the Chili Peppers while you're at it.

[Steve Cavino]

No, because they're both considered punk in their own way. Mainstream punk. So I think you combine them two and you have a massive performance. Um. But yeah, I think, man, there's so many people that love Blink 182 there. These are all pretty good answers, to be honest. I don't hate any of them.

[Rich Davis]

I think we could all agree that this year's halftime show will lean rock or mainstream. I just think. Only because I think so many of the bigger R and B and hip hop names have done the show in the past five to 10 years. I can't think of a top tier hip hop artist that is. We're itching to see Steven Minnesota. What's up, Steve?

[Tripp McNeely]

Hey, Rich. How's it going?

[Steve Cavino]

What's up, buddy? What?

[Tripp McNeely]

Listeners know that it's important to remember.

[Steve Cavino]

Dan Byers wife, Lisa.

[Danny G]

Oh, my gosh. Drop that.

[Rich Davis]

What a doofus.

[Steve Cavino]

What a tool bag.

[Rich Davis]

Yes, Dan Buyers. This guy want your wife or what? Did you steal your wife from him? Is that.

[Dan Beyer]

I don't know. I don't know what's going on. It's a little uncomfortable.

[Rich Davis]

It's my wife's birthday, man. You can talk about my wife. Leave Dan Buyer's wife out of it.

[Danny G]

Marcel Feet.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go to Marcel in la. What's up, Marcel? What's up, man?

[Tripp McNeely]

All right, so for my favorite old school one, I'm gonna keep it old school because it was my. My mom's favorite singer was Prince.

[Rich Davis]

Yep.

[Tripp McNeely]

So I gotta say, Prince's show was the greatest ever. Because one he played in the. In the rain, he says, you know, screw all that. I'm gonna do my show. And it was an amazing performance. Played all his best hits. And for my choice for the super bowl show this coming year, I'm gonna have to say keep it old school again. I'm gonna say Journey.

[Rich Davis]

I think that would appeal to our parents too much. It's not a Journey.

[Danny G]

Could be part of that generation mega mix.

[Steve Cavino]

We were talking about Journey with the Filipino guy or with Steve Perry. That's the controversy here. What are you gonna do? Combine them?

[Rich Davis]

All right, last call. We'll go to Tom in Rochester, New York. What's up Tomorrow?

[Tripp McNeely]

Hey, thanks guys for taking me. Love the show.

[Rich Davis]

No problem.

[Tripp McNeely]

Yo, I think everyone's missing the most obvious one. It's all about ratings anyways. And anytime there's a Chiefs game on, there's an over under on Swift. So why not put Taylor Swift out there and you'll draw the women. And if you want to, like, combo it just for laughs, throw in Ed Sheeran. Thanks, guys. Love that.

[Steve Cavino]

That would be the good combo. If you're gonna go with Taylor Swift and bring out somebody else, bring out Ed Sheeran. That would be cool. But again, yeah, I think that would be huge. And if you just joined us, it was aside from Metallica because we've gotten so many hip hop and R and B artists in the past few years and because Kendrick Lamar just played and because it's going to be in San Francisco next year, the obvious thought is Metallica right? Yo, Metallica. They're on tour again. Metallica. So we said minus Metallica. Who would you choose if you just joined us, minus Human.

[Rich Davis]

Let me ask you this. To wrap it. You're big. You're a big rock guy. No one knows more about rock than SiriusXM Steve Covino on Turbo and Octane and all those channels. I don't preset.

[Steve Cavino]

I mean, Matt Pinfield does and I hope he's doing well. Shout out to our good pal Matt.

[Rich Davis]

Pinfield all your rock channels. Let me ask you, Metallica not known to necessarily collaborate. Maybe, but who would be like if Metallica said, all right, we need to bring it a little more mainstream to bring out someone who, who has done something with Metallica.

[Steve Cavino]

I think post Malone.

[Rich Davis]

You think so?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, I think he would do it in a heartbeat for sure.

[Rich Davis]

That's pretty cool then.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, that would be really cool. Right? So that would be the first person that comes to mind for me.

[Rich Davis]

All right, I'll report back when I have my ROC Nation meeting with Jay Z. Yeah, I'll bring you these notes, guys. Thank you.

[Steve Cavino]

I wrote that. Thank you guys. We had a nice discussion and ritual report.

[Rich Davis]

Man, who at Fox Sports Radio forgot to pay the heat? Why is it so cold in here?

[Rich Davis]

I mean, it's perfectly comfortable in here.

[Steve Cavino]

It's freezing in here today. Man.

[Rich Davis]

Get out of here.

[Steve Cavino]

I found an Icicle on my nose.

[Rich Davis]

You grew up in Jersey. We're in California. It's February and it's 60 and you're complaining.

[Steve Cavino]

It's kind of cold, man. Anyway, Steve Covino, Ice white Iverson over there bringing the Latino fire today. I'm bringing the Latino heat because it's so cold. And that's Rich Davis, the whitest guy I know. The was it free? He cold miser. The cold miser whitest guy you know. Yep.

[Rich Davis]

That's ridiculous.

[Steve Cavino]

And that's Danny G. He's the smoothest guy I know with the buttery voice. Yeah, Danny G. He's our Super Producer at 87799 on Fox and Iowa. Sam, the most interesting guy I know. Are you sure that.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Sam]

You want to know if you want.

[Steve Cavino]

To replace the most interesting man I know.

[Sam]

Hey, I'm translucent.

[Steve Cavino]

87799 off Fox. Sam is on the ones and twos. Elijah's here. Remember he posts our videos along with spot at fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. And immediately after the show, a half hour from now, an exclusive with Joey Chestnut for over promise this week our bonus pod. We didn't have time for Joey Chestnut at Super bowl but we had a nice sit down with the guy and you get to hear it in depth. One of the goats. One of the go. I think there's certain guys we forget in the goat conversation. Like Michael Phelps. Like he's never brought up. Right. I like to say Bruce Lee is.

[Rich Davis]

Your favorite to add.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, Bruce Lee, man. What he meant to martial arts. Bruce Lee, Evil Knievel. I'll throw him in there motorsports. And Joey Chestnut, he is one of the goats. We talked to him in about a half hour. So join over promised on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page and you could listen to it wherever you are. Just search Kavino and Rich. Over promised.

[Rich Davis]

There's three wide receivers that are on my mind and by on my mind I'm not like thinking about them all day but man, I can't stop thinking about Cooper cup. Now there's three wide receivers and I'm just curious as why don't you send.

[Steve Cavino]

Them a valentine.

[Sam]

Choose you.

[Rich Davis]

You know how, you know how every year they come up with those completely inappropriate NFL themed Valentine's like the Cooper cup your cheeks. Good one.

[Steve Cavino]

Be mine.

[Danny G]

Yeah. It's like Patrick Mahomes hugging a ref.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. I love those. I love those. You'll see those on social media today and tomorrow. But Cooper Cup, Devonte Adams and Debo Samuel. When I say those three wide Receivers, names. Who sticks out to you as someone that could make a legit impact on a new team. I know, I know. On the defensive side of things, Miles Garrett. There's rumors. There's rumors of Danny Garrett, your team, trying to get Miles Garrett and your.

[Danny G]

Boy to pair him up with Max Crosby. I would do a backflip in the middle of the studio here if that happened.

[Rich Davis]

Then I. Then I saw a meme, and you know memes are always true. On a 49ers fan page that. What if the 49ers tried to snag Max Crosby, who wants to play for a winner?

[Danny G]

And you had Nick Rady ain't letting that happen. And you had. The new GM says he's not going to let that happen.

[Rich Davis]

And you had Nick Bosa and. And your boy. I don't know, but. All right. Cooper Cup, Devonte, Adams, Debo Samuel. Who makes the impact, who's washed, who's not? Because those three, you could argue easily that none of them are on the.

[Steve Cavino]

Upward trajectory with the gm, Right?

[Rich Davis]

If you're Tom Brady.

[Steve Cavino]

If you're Tom Brady. If I'm Tom Brady.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. You better do some TV 12 then.

[Steve Cavino]

First of all, if I'm Tom Brady, I'm going to social media and checking my DMs right now. See who's diving in.

[Rich Davis]

There gotta be some.

[Steve Cavino]

See who I'm going out with tomorrow night for Valentine's Day.

[Danny G]

Interestante for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[Steve Cavino]

Three different days. That's the first thing I'm doing.

[Rich Davis]

Not to be pervy. Yeah, but do you think I'm being serious? Do you think every day one random hot girl dives into Tom Brady's dm?

[Dan Beyer]

Are you serious?

[Steve Cavino]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

That's not a boathead question. Every day. So you.

[Steve Cavino]

Every day. Every day a 12 is leaping in there like Lanny Poffo. Leaping. Leap right into his DMs.

[Danny G]

Rich.

[Steve Cavino]

Rich.

[Danny G]

Richard, you and I used to work in FM radio. We had one each day.

[Steve Cavino]

Come on.

[Rich Davis]

I'm just saying, if you're.

[Steve Cavino]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Rich Davis]

You think if you're Tom Brady, every day you open your DMs, and it's.

[Danny G]

A. I would say multiple.

[Rich Davis]

Wow. Okay.

[Steve Cavino]

Yes. Yes.

[Rich Davis]

Because I feel like sometimes you talk to celebrities or athletes of note, and they're like, nah, not as much as you think. Danbire is the voice of reason. Dan Beyer. This is Dan Byers. Like, guys, I don't want to talk about your nonsense, but DB do you think Tom Brady gets DMs from hot women every day.

[Dan Beyer]

No, not every day.

[Rich Davis]

I agree.

[Steve Cavino]

Really?

[Rich Davis]

I feel like it's one of those, like we think that's how we.

[Danny G]

How many times a week?

[Rich Davis]

Maybe once or twice a week. Some girl might be like, hey, Tom, I don't know.

[Dan Beyer]

It's satisfaction.

[Steve Cavino]

You know what?

[Dan Beyer]

I don't think it's as.

[Steve Cavino]

Guess what? We're going to be filling in for Colin Cowherd tomorrow. Aren't they pals? Let's throw it out there. Hey, Tommy, if you're listening, how many days every day. I really believe that I'm not even just saying that. And Dan says no. That makes me question myself a little bit, but I'm pretty confident that he does. Why do you say no though, Dan? Like, do you think we just over exaggerate it in our brain?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. I don't think it's top of mind for. For everyone, maybe.

[Rich Davis]

Kidding me.

[Steve Cavino]

You go to a, like a car show, there's hot women around. Like you go to wherever there's money, there's hot women. He's single, bachelor guy with a lot of money. You don't think there's hot women all over this dude?

[Rich Davis]

I think women.

[Steve Cavino]

Tom Brady.

[Rich Davis]

I, I think it's. I'll give you the analogy. In the 2000s when Covino and I first met, once in a while we. For fun, as a joke, we'd have like a. An early influencer on our show, like some kid that was popular on social media. And Cavino would always say, my goodness, you're popular on the early days of YouTube. You must get so much booty. And you know what they would always say now.

[Steve Cavino]

It became a funny question. That's all. So anyway, if I was Tom Brady and I'm trying to make my organization matter here and I'm trying to get the guy that's going to have the greatest impact on my team. Not necessarily for the Raiders, but I'm saying if I'm that guy or new GM somewhere. Yeah, new GM somewhere. I think it's Cooper Cup. And we talked to so many people last week at Super Bowl. Rich from Pukinakua to man who was singing his praises, Drew Brees. Maybe there was someone that was talking about how. Oh, it was JG Wentworth, Andrew Whitworth, big witch. It was Andrew Whitworth. He was talking about how.

[Rich Davis]

Call 877 CASH now.

[Sam]

It's your money. Use it when you need it.

[Steve Cavino]

Not only is he such a great player, but what he brings to the game into the team as far as football iq, his leadership.

[Danny G]

Yeah, big. Witt said he was one of the guys who helped turn that franchise.

[Steve Cavino]

Remember that?

[Danny G]

Yep.

[Steve Cavino]

And we've seen the interviews. Our first, I think, memory of that was when he was talking about some routes that he was running, plays that he was running. Like, man, this dude knows his football. Man, he was speaking an alien football language. So.

[Rich Davis]

But there was no guy. Listen. There was no one, though, more effective in his hybrid role of running back, wide receiver than Debo before he seemed to get disgruntled in San Francisco.

[Steve Cavino]

Look what Cooper did, not only with his own stats and his own gameplay, but as a leader with Puka Nakua and how he helped him grow as a player, what he could do for another team and still. And still has some legs. I think he's more valuable. I think Debo had a little bit of controversy around him and weight issues and everything else. I like the guy, but listen, Devonte Adams, he was never happy. Cooper cup wasn't. It wasn't an issue or wasn't a problem.

[Rich Davis]

If Devonte Adams hears this, he'd probably, you know, want to strangle me because I'm sure he's a hell of a fella diva. But when I watched him on receiver and he just seemed a little disgruntled in Las Vegas and then he went to the jets and I just feel like he production wise and I feel like almost like his passion seems to. He would have to be motivated. Like, if there's a team that's like, yo, devonte, we're a winner. Come here and bring it.

[Danny G]

Although the second half of the jets season, I will say he flexed a little bit. There are times, some, a few amazing catches and, you know, at least had something going there at the end.

[Rich Davis]

But Kavino, your answer is Cooper Cup?

[Steve Cavino]

It is for leadership reasons. And I think he still has game in him and I think that's the type of guy you want on your team. I mean, you and I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing Debo and he seemed like a really swell fella. Like, I liked him a lot. So it's nothing personal, but if you're asking me if I had to make a choice, it'd be that guy right now.

[Rich Davis]

I just, you know, it's. I felt like when Cooper cup was healthy on any given game, he was good for a hundo. Like, like. But is that. Am I imagining a Cooper cup that doesn't exist anymore?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, that's. That's the question.

[Rich Davis]

Am I imagining a Debo Samuel if he wasn't again. He seems like sort of just unhappy. Remember this year, like he wanted the ball more and Debo's numbers were meager this year, right?

[Steve Cavino]

He you were waiting for him to turn it on. You're like where's the explosiveness? What's up with him? He seems pouty.

[Rich Davis]

Rewind a couple of years. Debo Samuel was what made the 49ers go. Remember, it was like before McCaffrey. It was like McCaffrey and Debo Debo because at any given moment, jet sweep, right? He would run, he would slant pattern, go deep. Debo did everything for that team and then it just sort of like went away.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, we ask you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, you heard our answer and we'll get to your phone calls and your feedback right after our good pal DB Dan Beyer.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey Dan, fellas talking about quarterbacks in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers is one, but he won't be a Jet next season. Team releasing a statement saying they are moving on from the quarterback after two years. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter will participate as a defensive drills at the NFL combine later this month in Indianapolis and all 329 invites to the combine. One did not go to Colorado safety Shiloh Sanders. New Saints head coach Kellen Moore confirmed he'll call plays on offense next season but was non committal when he was asked about the quarterback Derek Carr's future with the team. Moore introduced as the Saints head coach earlier today. Clippers guard Ben Simmons is off the injury report and there's a chance he could make his Clippers debut tonight when they face the Utah Jazz. You will not see the three point contest between Steph Curry and Sabrina Unescu at this weekend's All Star festivities in San Francisco. Last year's event will not be held this year. Caitlin Clark reportedly was asked to take part. Instead, she's going to make her Three Point Shootout debut at the WNBA All Star Game coming up this summer. Clay Thompson and Kyrie Irving questionable for tonight's Mavs game against the Miami Heat. Dodgers signed Clayton kershaw to his one year deal. It's worth seven and a half million dollars and Denny McCarthy as the first round lead at the Genesis Invitational being played on the South Course at Torrey Pines. McCarthy's at four under par. Scotty Scheffler's got three holes to play on his first round. He is two back at minus two. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you Danbury. About the Travis Hunter, that's really interesting. The intent is for him to play both sides of the ball in the NFL.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, yes, but I don't think that you would see the workload on offense right away. That's just me. That's my own opinion. But I think that he would be drafted as a defensive back in the net six some point. Probably put into that role.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, buddy.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Hey Dan, Danny J. Being to flip to baseball though, when you see Shohei Ohtani and how you guys won the World Series and he didn't even have to pitch a baseball, is there a party that's like, man, are we pushing it by throwing him back into that? I'm Ohtani, I could pitch and bat. Like do you want him?

[Danny G]

There's a big part of me remember last season in the postseason, I said don't because we thought the hard part for the Dodgers last postseason was going to be their pitching staff. But bullpen guy stepped up and remember I said on the air, how about we just keep Ohtani as a batter only?

[Rich Davis]

I mean Ohtani, you guys have, you guys have an arguable eight man rotation.

[Steve Cavino]

That's what I'm thinking. Why not have him go every seventh.

[Rich Davis]

Day, spread it out. Would it be crazy to say Ohtani starts 15 to 20 games a year instead of 33, 34?

[Danny G]

I'm with you. Think outside the box for his longevity.

[Steve Cavino]

I think that's the luxury of having all these extra arms. Rest his whenever you can.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you know, we'll take some thoughts on that next. More Covino and Rich. Now we're not TV weatherman, though your hair looks like one. But we know about driving in winter conditions forecast for a lot of the country. Snow and ice here makes driving a challenge. Out here it's raining. It's terrible. Makes driving very tough.

[Steve Cavino]

Super bowl mvp.

[Rich Davis]

I was thinking about Jimmy Butler because he played after he, you know, soiled himself.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, I was thinking Jimmy Butler, he went for a three but got a two in his pants. I think it happened in the third.

[Danny G]

Quarter here till Thursday.

[Steve Cavino]

Third quarter.

[Rich Davis]

I was going to think about Devin Williams, you know, having to shave his beard and carry on as a Yankee. But no, of course, big numbers. MVP Jalen Herz. And there you go. He's our express Pros Pro of the week.

[Steve Cavino]

Did you see how Saquon wouldn't make an appearance on the Tonight show unless he could bring the lineman with him? Thought that was pretty cool. Giving props to his lineman.

[Rich Davis]

Let's see, that's a good team guy right there.

[Steve Cavino]

So again I'm Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis. Props to Danny G, Sam Elijah and DB for rocking with us today. Spotty's getting our over promise show ready in about 10 minutes guys. It's the debut of Joey Chestnut from Super bowl with cnr. One of the goats your eating champion. But we actually had a fun sit down with them and you get to see our whole setup from super bowl. Like backstage, behind the scenes, a little lounge area that's on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page debuting in nine minutes. So join us there. It's a live chat and everything as our bonus show. We try to do it every Thursday.

[Rich Davis]

The rain out here is cramping. You know the number one coach on Fox Sports Radio. Oh no, not Doug Gottlieb.

[Steve Cavino]

Coach Rich, that's cause you haven't played yet.

[Rich Davis]

I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to have more wins this season.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, to be fair. Cause you guys haven't played yet.

[Rich Davis]

I know every practice or game my kids have had scheduled so far has been rained out.

[Steve Cavino]

We talking about practice.

[Rich Davis]

Last two weeks at rain. Rain, right. Today, rain.

[Sam]

We need the rain.

[Rich Davis]

Desp. That's like one of those things people say. They mean it, right, though. Like, we need the rain after all.

[Steve Cavino]

Those fires, I'd say we need it. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I think the rain was poorly timed. Couldn't we have used these rain like a month ago when people's houses burned?

[Steve Cavino]

Yes.

[Danny G]

Not good for the mudslides, though, now.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, that's true. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, he says mudslide not your favorite dessert at TGF Fridays.

[Sam]

That's what Jimmy Butler.

[Danny G]

Oh, but play the rim shot on yourself.

[Steve Cavino]

Geez, that's fine.

[Rich Davis]

That was your best joke of the day. That was a good one. But, yeah, now the rain is crampet sports. You remember when you were a kid that feeling of, is the game gonna be canceled? That to me, is a. It's a. It's a feeling that if you played kid sports, that's how I know we're the same cat. That's how I know I could. I could roll with you. We could chop it up. If you were the kid that would be in school all day and you thought, oh, we could play. We could play. There was always a kid that was quick to be like, games canceled.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, it's always that weak feeling when there's a drizzle all day, like, are we going to play in this or what? It's pretty evident the way the weather's been here that no game games are canceled. It's just been raining nonstop.

[Danny G]

My older brother and I, we were excited when there was weather, like, to play in. And you're right, Rich. Those kids that were like, stay inside now with our Super Nintendo.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. And I always say that, you know how you could tell as a grown up? You're like, you could assess your parents better. My mom always leaned negative. There was a drizzle. My mom's first instinct. I bet you your game's canceled tonight. I'm like, shut up, Mom.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. Thanks, man.

[Rich Davis]

Mom.

[Steve Cavino]

For being positive. Yeah, exactly. So it is.

[Rich Davis]

And, you know, you'd go the field, there'd be a puddle by shortstop. And in your mind, you're like, we could rake that out. And then there'd be, you know, people quick to be like, no, just call it. I'm dealing with that 30 years later as a parent now. And the coach. Yeah. So, hey, hopefully.

[Danny G]

And general manager.

[Steve Cavino]

And general manager of his team and his daughter's team, for the record. For future reference, Rich is coaching his nose picking Sons Pony League baseball team for four year olds. Which means you're going to get a lot more gray hair this season. Can't wait to see that. And his seven year old daughter's softball team. Did you name them yet or what?

[Rich Davis]

No, I think they're teal. Remember we went over the chest today. They might be the Teeler Swifts. The Teeler Swifts. That might be the one I said.

[Danny G]

Aqua Barbies.

[Rich Davis]

I like that one too.

[Steve Cavino]

That's not bad.

[Rich Davis]

We choose on Saturday at practice. But there probably won't be one because it's raining.

[Steve Cavino]

How about the Aquabats? The Aquabats?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, there you go. All right, listen, we'll see you tomorrow. In for the herd. Have a great Thursday night. Until then, Arriva. Dare she, baby.

[Steve Cavino]

See you in the over promised land. Joey Chestnut, let's go.
