Hope you had a great Tuesday. Going to turn your hump day into a hump night. Every Wednesday here on the show, we get into midweek. Major, the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. Spotty breaks them down. He's getting ready and prepared as we speak, so stick around for that. Are they mid stories, weak stories, or major stories? You got time, Spot. I think the biggest story of the day is, is TikTok banned yet? Because I get a lot of. A lot of sports headlines and updates to TikTok. Three, three and a half days. My girlfriend always accuses me of watching girls dancing around. I'm like, no, I'm watching sports videos. Hello. My algorithm is disgusting. If you go to my Instagram or TikTok and just go to search and, you know, your algorithm pops up. It's like, it really defines me. Like Mets, 49ers and ass. She's like, that's really watching. I'm like, john Boy, mind your business. What are you watching? That's funny because The Mets and 49ers are ass. Good one. Hey. Oh, man. I'm being facetious, but I'm also telling the truth. I actually do get a lot of sports updates on TikTok, our Fox Sports Radio TikTok, and I haven't gotten any updates yet. I see that there's some people jumping ship already to another platform, but we're supposed to get word today. There's rumors that Mr. Wonderful is going to join a group to purchase it. There's rumors of Mr. Beast buying it. Mr. Bean. Not Mr. Bean. Oh. Even though I follow him on TikTok. Mr. Beast. I heard Tom's bringing MySpace back. Hey, I'm down for it. I used to like MySpace, but the reality is, I'm. I'm not saying I'm feeling so bad, but there are a lot of younger people that make money on TikTok, and their revenue is going to be gone in four days. Well, you know what? I wrote this down on my notes here for the show, so it has to be true. Well, I thought that was your shopping list. I really don't care if TikTok is banned. In fact, I think we'll be sad for a moment. We might have the TikTok blues, but we'll find something else. And I think it's for the greater good of society if it's gone, to be honest, has nothing to do with spies or anything like that, even though that's important. I'm just saying we spend so much time on TikTok and social media, I just think it's frying our attention span. I agree, but my only. It's not good for the kids. And I just think we'd find better use of our time. I think it'd be a blessing in disguise if it were to go away. My only opposition to that statement is I don't think we're gonna take our, quote, TikTok time and use it wisely. You're just gonna look at Instagram more, Snapchat more, Facebook more, and other things. So it's not like, remove TikTok, and all of a sudden you're gonna be reading a book like A.J. brown or something. It's not like, how do you know that? Well, then all of a sudden, Kavino doesn't know that. Yeah. Camino's Gonna put aside TikTok and he's gonna be on his balcony reading Inner Excellence. Rich thinks he's a fortune teller now he's Zoltar. He thinks he could see the future. You don't know anything. You don't know. I might, like, do puzzles and stuff. I don't know Sudoku. I might make Sudoku Steve over here. Yeah. Who knows? I might find a new hobby, New York Times connections. But I think it really does fry our brains. And if it does that to us, and we're grown man boys, we're adults, kind of. I mean, think of what it's doing for the kids. So, honestly, I think it would be a blessing in disguise if it were to go away. I'm too old to look at TikTok. I look at Instagram Reels four weeks later, like every other millennial. What? What are you. What are you mur. Getting too old. But that is the story today. So in the meantime, in between time before it does get banned, be sure to hit us up at covinoenrich@foxsportsradio on all social media platforms. Just one less thing we have to post on. I mean, I agree with that. Danny G. Let me ask you, because you got. You got a toddler, you got grown kids. Before we get into all the meat of the show. And by the way, what's the meat of the show today? Pashami? Gabagool. Gabagool. Before we get into some NFL rewriting, rewriting your story, we're gonna talk about terrible fans. What is the appropriate age? Do we all agree of the age in which a kid should get a phone and be allowed on social media? I bring this up because my daughter's seven, and for the first time, she said, dad, I want a phone. I'm like, you are not even close. Give her a rapid radio and tell her to beat it. I'm like, I'm like, you're not even close, pal. She's. And she's, of course, like every kid, she's like, well, this kid has a phone. I'm like, you know why? You know what happens? Oh, I. Unfortunately, Rich, I'll say it before you get the chance. Got divorced. Right. Rich loves to talk about that. It's my favorite topic. And when you have to co parent with a kid, you have to keep in touch with your kid, right? So my kid did get a phone early, and there's other kids probably in that same boat, and they're like, I got a phone. Yeah, you got a phone. Because dad is living in another house. That's why. Yeah, I told my daughter, I said, everything you want to do on a phone, you could do on your iPad. And you're always with me or mom, so you don't need to call anybody. Right? So, like, if I had it, let's say it was the weekend or week, I didn't have my daughter because I have her 50% of the time. But if I didn't and I wanted to say hi or talk to her, I don't want to have to go through her mom all the time. So she had her own phone at a very. At around seven, eight years old. Yeah. Yeah, seven is a little young, Rich. I remember reading that the average American that was polled on this a couple years ago said 12 years old. That's fair is what they think. Thought I actually should be the age for a first phone. I have a couple friends on the east coast that's east coast that said their kids are around 10 to 12. And that's where, I mean, you shouldn't be worried that much about your kid being the only kid. But by 10 to 12 years old, he did. Are you more worried about the only kid or the only fans? You don't want your kid there. Yeah, we'll, we'll get to that later. But hey, TikTok will keep you in the loop if the supreme court comes out with a decision in the next couple hours. How come we can't get like, how come people can't get their children like a jitterbug? Just something like really simple. It's not cool though, Sam. It's like. No, but like, it's like saying like, hey buddy, do you want Jordans or do you want, you know, Payless shoes? Kids, they're gonna want what's cool. And if all the kids in their class have an iPhone or something. Jitterbug with the big numbers and the big display calls. Kids today don't want stride rights. They don't want Buster Browns. They want Jordans little BlackBerry. You're set. Yeah, kids are spoiled. Hey, kid, you want my old flip phone? You don't need Internet on the. Just calling and, you know, paging. I think you're right. But then they're gonn compare it to especially keep in mind, we also all have to keep in mind, we're in Los Angeles. So the little kid with the phone does have an iPhone. And that's why they're like, why do we have this one? I think when it comes to technology, we're not alone in this though. No, no, not at all. Across the country, kids want the cool electronic gadget. Yeah. It's not like a kid in the middle of America doesn't want something cool. Every kid wants the cool thing. I had a Nokia in eighth grade. That was my first phone. I called the candy bar phone because it looked like a candy bar shaped like that. And it was on indestructible. I could answer it in the shower with a flashlight on it. I was Sam. You had that. I had a Sports Illustrated football flip phone. I had an R2D2 spot. Had a cheeseburger phone. Remember that? Bring those back. You know what's interesting? I was Sam. I was Sam. What are you, 30ish? Or you see Iowa, Sam's in his 30s. It's actually 38. Closer to 40. Iowa, Sam's in his 30as. The difference between your friends or co workers that are in their 30s and then 40s or 50s is when you got your first phone. You Know, I graduated high school in the late 90s. My first phone was in college. I went to college without a cell phone. That makes sense. I went to college without my own computer. I went to the computer lab. By the time I graduated college. What's that? Everyone had a phone and everyone had the Internet. I saw a stat I was recently looking at, like, what percentage of the country had the Internet in the early 2000s? Like 01 2000. Around there, 40% of the country had the Internet. Six out of 10 people like, nah, I don't have Internet at home. So thank God for the Internet. We've come a long way in the last 20 years. The end. Yeah, thanks for addressing that. You got your first phone. As it was becoming more widespread, people getting phones in general. It wasn't because you were living in like, some, you know, Amish community. No, I was saying, you know, not trying to date myself. You know, I'm in my mid-40s. When I was in college, I. I was the idiot that tried to have like a long distance girlfriend. And I had calling cards. I remember buying like $20 calling cards. You scratch off the thing and you're like, all right, you have 60 minutes. And I call my girlfriend at her college, like, hey, babe, what are you doing? Luckily for Rich's girlfriend, she had rollover minutes. So she would call on. Off peak hours. She was rolling over on some other dude. I think so anyway. Hey, we spend way too much time on our phone. Tie it all together. So if TikTok were to get banned, I think it would be better off for everybody. Less time on the phone, more time being productive. Hey, maybe you join that bowling league with your extra time. Maybe you join that softball league. Maybe you do something more productive. We'll keep you posted here on the show. C rake. Now, there was an interesting headline Kavino saw as we were prepping for the show. I'll give props. It's from The Ringer. The Ringer.com. and the story was that this weekend, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are trying to rewrite their playoff story. They're trying to rewrite their playoff story. Big implications, big game. Two monster teams going head to head, but they both have the shot to rewrite their story. And it got me thinking. You know, we see these things play out, and that's a really great feeling for both teams to have that opportunity, both quarterbacks to have that opportunity. But are there other stories that come to mind, especially in entertainment? Definitely in sports where you wish you watch and you wish you could rewrite the Answer. There are so many, so many great answers. And let's get the phones rolling. Let's be the most interactive show, like we always are on Fox Sports Radio. Can I give the two best examples? Please do. Let me give the number for the newbies that might be joining us for the first time. 87799 on Fox. But before you get to your examples, just think about that for a second before you give the great examples I'm sure you have. They're the best examples. Because they're my examples. Exactly. Yeah. Of the two guys you just spoke of the game of the week. Oh, no one so excited. No one, no one has an instinct on this game. And if you do, I would love to hear your amazing instinct because honestly, this is like a heavyweight fight where anything could happen. That's why I love it. That's why I compare it to boxing all the time. This is Fury Usyk. These are two heavyweights going at. It could be anybody's game. Anybody could get knocked out at any time. That's what I love about this. I do think, though, that when you talk about the unpredictability of what's going to go down Sunday night, the last game of divisional weekend, I, much like every other NFL fan, is like, how am I supposed to tell you what I think? Because the reality is Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen both look like they cannot be stopped. Ed, Derek Henry. Add that the fact that Buffalo has a home game and I think that the, maybe the minuscule edge where you're like, man, it seems like Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson are unstoppable. Remember the. Again, you got Lamar Jackson with Henry. Like you said, you have Josh Allen with good vibes, too. Like, he's playing this dream season. He credits his fiance. He's like, he's never been in a better mental space. He's never felt better about his team. Like, this guy's riding on a super emotional high. I'm saying even that little inkling, that little beep, that little part of you that's like, maybe you give the edge to Lamar and Derek Henry, because I kind of do. Again, it doesn't look like they could be stopped. You counter that immediately with, well, the games in Buffalo and the Bills Mafia and balances things out and the fan base and the weather and the vibes, you know, that to me completely offsets that slight little edge you might think the Ravens have. So before you even get to the great examples of what stories and sports and movies and history you'd like to rewrite, who has more at stake here on Sunday, Lamar Jackson. Because if he loses, it's just another year where it's like, dude, this guy is an mvp, but can't. You nailed it. Yeah, that's exactly it. Mvp, but he can't win the big game. Danny, I don't think Josh Allen has that reputation that Lamar has in the playoffs yet. Not yet. And I think going into this season, the narrative has been there were weapons added to the Ravens, whereas the Bills lost a couple of. You got Henry. You're the mvp. Former mvp, and you still can't win. Yeah, that's. That's a bad look for him. So major implications on the line. That's what makes it so exciting, because someone gets to rewrite their playoff story here. Someone gets to rewrite the story. Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, you make the call. And it could be the beginning of something, because we. We mentioned it yesterday. If you watch, like, every other human last dance during COVID Michael Jordan, the Bulls. There was a time. It sounds ridiculous, but we learned in that documentary we were too young to remember. Before Jordan won his first three in a row, there was the narrative that, you know, could Jordan finish? He keeps getting stopped by the Celtics and the Pistons. And then you don't remember any of that because the guy then goes on to win three. Retires, come backs, you know, wins three again. So you forget that. But for all we know, this is when Lamar gets over the hump, and maybe he wins two of the next three, and you even forget that narrative existed. Yep. So that could potentially be the start of that. Rich is absolutely right. Makes it more exciting. So when you think about sports, it's kind of the feeling of watching a replay. And you know what happens. And I'll give the classic example. The classic example is, you know, the ball goes to. But Bill Buckner's legs. You know, it does. But there's a part of you that watches thinking, maybe this time it doesn't remember in Hot Tub Time Machine, Rob Cordry's character bet on the game, and then that little squirrel. Yeah. Messed everything up. Now, Rich, you reap the benefits of that as a Mets fan. Right? But how many times does your heart break for that guy? Like, maybe if I think hard enough and believe hard enough, or maybe I just fell into a weird parallel universe all of a sudden where he catches the ball. You know, don't worry. The Mets are on the opposite end of that quite a bit. I always think about the great Carlos Beltran. Carlos Beltran. I always think, like, what if he swings at that Adam Wainwright curveball with runners on in game seven, bottom of the ninth. What if he doesn't look at strike three and he swings? What if Beltran hits a double down the line and the Mets win and go to the World Series? So when you want to rewrite history, sports, movies, everything, there's a lot of things you could. I don't want to rewrite that ending. I just want to rewrite that moment for Bill Buckner. Okay, so your. Your Mets still win in my fantasy here in my story, but Mookie just beats him to the back. But it's not Buckner's fault. You know, he's not blamed for the next 30 years. So that was my. My starting example here, but not my real example, because my. My real example that comes to mind has to be your Seahawks db. Sorry, Denbigher. That's. That's all right. Like, that has to be rewritten. Dude, I have unacceptable ending, though. The whole scenario, and there's so many different layers to what led up to that point just in the final minute. And, Rich, you've talked about it on the show. Horrible ending. The Seahawks had the ball at midfield, and Jermaine Kearse catches this wacky pass. Felt like destiny. Yeah, that. That, you know, bounces around and he catches it. Now you're down to the five yard line, dude. If that was a movie, right? I would be like, that was. That was great. Until the ending. So unbelievable, the ending. No one would ever make that call. That ending sucked. I hated it. It was my Sopranos. Like, it just ended. My TV broken. What's going on? Let me tell you what happened on the Sopranos, okay? I got inside scoop. Paulie Walnuts was an old neighbor of mine, and he told me, hey, Steve. Hey, Steve. The guy that walked into the diner in the last episode was wearing a Members Only jacket, right? One of the first episodes, I think the first episode of the last season, the title was Members Only. If you go back and watch the last season, I think one of the first episodes of that season, Members Only, is the title. The very last episode, guy with the Members Only jacket walks in, he wipes, he whacks Tony Soprano, front of his family. The end. That's what happened. I died. That's just an opinion. That's why. That's not opinion opinion. It's fact. I'm from Jersey. I know. I don't believe it. You know. You know a guy. I had gabagol for lunch. I know. You asked me the meat of the day. I told you Now, a lot of people, that would be another great example of, I wish I could rewrite that ending. Right. But I love the fact that it left it to interpretation. So the Seahawks is. Is my prime example, unfortunately for you, Dan, because even though it really happened, if you were to say that it was a script, you'd be like, no way would any idiot make that call. No way. Worst ending ever. And that's outside looking in. In the world of entertainment. Rich for me, I always hated in Karate Kid, Karate Kid to when Danielson is like, live or die, man. Live or die. And chosen says die. And Danielson says, wrong, and he honks his nose. Honk his nose. He honks his nose. Which you can say. Which you could say, well, that's more humiliating. But no, that was the corniest S I've ever seen. I hated that ending. I wish I could rewrite it. I feel like they, well, what should we do next? And some jabroni was like, I got it. He honks his nose. And then they're like, yeah, I guess. Honks his nose in a battle. In a battle for his life in Okinawa. That was the weakest ending I'd ever seen. I got. I want to rewrite it. I got two examples. One movie, one tv. But listen, you could go on and on with sports. As a Niners fan, I watched my team lose three Super Bowls in the last 12 years, all games that they were winning or within reach in the fourth quarter. So, I mean, run with Frank Gore, 49ers, Garoppolo, you know, hits a receiver over the middle, you know, overtime. Brock Purdy doesn't settle for a field goal. Like, there's a million examples. Goes on defense first. Maybe just there's so many that would drive you insane. And Rich your head coach. How about going back before that? The famous 28 to 3 game in the Super Bowl. The fact that Matt Ryan got sacked and they got out of field goal range and they just sort of let the Patriots so easily get back in that game. Oh, we have a lot of listeners in Georgia. They would all love to rewrite the ending of that Super Bowl. I'll give you my movie one and my TV one. And both these slight changes, I think would have left such a different taste in our mouth. And then we'll take all your feedback. Movies people love to take a big dump on Rocky 5, Tommy Gunn, George Washington, Duke. I watched it recently. It's not as bad as we remember. It's not. If Rocky fought Tommy Gunn in a ring. We have a different Memory of this movie. The fact that it was that corny, like, go forward, like, street fight made it trash. Oh. If Tommy Gunn fought Rocky in the ring and Rocky wins in the ring, we look at that movie completely different. And the TV example, one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, How I met your mother. I mean, you needed the mom to die. You wait all these years, and then in the final season, Ted Mosby finds the woman he loves, played by Kristen Miliotti. Thanks for ruining it for me, by the way. Cristin Miliotti, who you loved in Penguin. I did, but now I know she died on that show. You ruined my day. Please. It's considered one of the worst endings of all time. So he meets. Finally meets, the love of his life to find out, oh, yeah, she dies, and he ends up with Robin. Why couldn't he just meet the mom and be like, what a great ending to a phenomenal sitcom. You know, I didn't even watch that show. But I do agree with you. I feel like it's. It was too easy. Of an ad. Like, well, what do we do to tug the heartstrings? I got it. I got it. Johnson. She's dead the whole time. Sports, movies, TV shows. What ending would you absolutely go back and say, now we're doing this over. This ending stinks. You know, it's interesting. You and I just both watch the same show per your recommendation. The Penguin. Yeah. Colin Farrell deserved to win awards for that. He's so good. But there were people that said, nah, I didn't like the finale. I loved it. Loved it. I couldn't understand why people didn't like it. I don't want to spoil anything, but there's a deeper meaning as to why it ended the way it did. The deeper meaning, without giving anything away, is everybody hated the Penguin, but you rooted for him because he was like an antihero, right? And he penguined everybody, Meaning he screwed everybody over, causing them to hate him, but you're still rooting for him. And then he screws over more people and they hate him. Then he screws over more people, and they hate him. And somehow you still have a little soft spot. Somehow you're like, you're still rooting for him, but guess what? The very end, he screws you over, and then you hate him. Then I hate this guy. And then you hate him, and you're like, oh, now I know why everybody hated him. And that was a beautiful ending to an awesome first season. I agree. Let's say hi to Joe in Phoenix. Let's. Let's go. A little rapid fire, A little cross fire. What's up, Joe? Rewrite the story, Joe. Yes, I was calling to mention that Game of Thrones ending. Terrible. That was my number one. Okay. Number two, we'll go. Barry Sanders. His career needed a championship, and as a child, I idled Barry Sanders. I think, like, his championship would have really sealed the deal. Hey, Joe, do you think if Barry Sander played in today's game, would he have ended up on a different team? Was it a different day and age where, like, it was like, lions or nothing? Do you think somehow Sanders would have found his way to another team? Oh, he's better than Saquon to me. Yeah. I just feel like if it were a different era ever. Yeah, that is tough. And it's a. There's a great documentary on him if you've never checked it out. Great calls, great examples. For sure. You get the chance to rewrite the story, much like Lamar and Josh Allen. Who do you got? Alex and Fresno. What's up, Alex? Hey, guys, just want to say, big fan of the show for one. Two real quick ones. Yeah. One, I always hit it in the wire how they killed Omar with just some random little kid that you never even. And saw it coming. Just like, come on, man. I think he deserved a better ending than that. And then Chris Weber and that whole timeout thing, I felt, you know, not the way. Not the way to end. Like, maybe the. One of the greatest college basketball seasons and stories. Right. With a timeout. But yeah, you know, when it. When a main character. When a main character gets done wrong or like, that's how they kill them, it does leave you feeling like, oh, man, I would have done that different Blake in St. Louis. What's up, Blake? Hey, how we doing? What's up? One that I would change is the Frank Clark isn't in the neutral zone for the Chiefs and they don't get that flag and they end up going to the Super Bowl. But, you know, St. Louis, born and raised, I was feeling you guys with. My first Sports memory was 2006. That Adam Wainwright curveball. And then also as a. You know, as I went to 2011, game six, when we came back, we were down to our final strike. As a Texans fan, I'm sure that would have to be number one. Yo, that. That. That Texas Rangers world suit, was that the one he's talking about? I think so. He's talking about that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. 2011. I thought you said I was six for a second. That was. That was the Tigers Cardinals 2011. I thought, Ron Washington is George Jefferson haircut was going to finally get to celebrate. I was pumped for them. And then. Oh, like right. Was it out of the reach of Beltray just by like a foot. And then they rallied. Like that's what we're talking about. It's the feeling of. That's how it ended a battle. You see it in sports all the time. It could be a major battle and something like they won on a little number. That's how it ended. After all that, you know, you want to rewrite it. Who else do we got? Let's go to Blake in St. Louis. Hey, Blake. Hey, Blake. Just did Blake. Oh, we did Blake. Can I actually comment on Blake's. So Blake had his own moment. But if he was a St. Louis Rams fan and against the Titans, I bet the Titans fans would love to have that. Kevin Dyson, remember he came up a yard short reach. The reach. That's the way. So the tackle, the one yard short play. And so he. You gotta. He's gotta look at that and be like, oh, well that's something that we. We. Or we're okay with that. You know what, Sam? That would have pushed that game to overtime. Right. Because they were down by seven. I believe that was what, 2316. So I would have to defer to dan on that. 2316. Right. Byer. I know you're. What was the game? What was the Titans. The reach by Dyson. Oh, yeah. So that would have tied up the game. All right, let's go to Sean and Sacktown. Our guy. What's up, Sean? Yeah, my rapid radio, bro. I've been listening and watching how I met your mother for the last 10 years is background noise. Yeah. Never knew the ending. So I appreciate you ruining that me for the rest of my life. Dude, it's one of the best shows. I'm sure he was getting around to watching that it actually, it actually worked out because I keep asking my wife how it ends and she just woman explains it and turns something simple into a three hour conversation and we end up fighting somehow. So I appreciate you on that. And then real quick on the topic, man. Two quick bangers. Chris Weber making a second appearance. The 2002 NBA Finals where Vladi Vod tips out the three pointer to Robert Horry for the dagger, forever ending our hope of ever winning a title. And then the other one, man. So I'm actually going to steal this from the Dan Patrick show, which y'all are, you know, big contributors to the way Breaking Bad ends. If Walter White somehow ends up in witness protection and becomes Hal from. From Malcolm in the Middle. Yeah, Malcolm in the Middle. That would have been the perfect ending and the perfect spin off. Y'all fellas keep a real gangster on there, man. Thank you, man. And you know, he made me think of Dexter, too. So many people had such a problem with Dexter being a lumberjack. But then it continued and it worked out. It all worked out.

We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything because we got lots to say. I text texted you and you text me back. Now, I don't know if you have the update, but, like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it and the heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest. It was a little pink. There was something sentimental when you, like when you send it, it was like, do I send the heart now? I don't like the color edition. It's extremely pink. Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever, wherever you get your podcasts. Chit chat with everyone for one second while I look this up and then we're going to get it to bad fans. NFL midweek. Major. What are you looking up, Brianna Chicken fry, you creep. No, she's on Sports Illustrated. I just opened Instagram. That will pop. That's what popped up. Chill out. What are you looking up? Heidi Montag song. Okay. No, what I was going to look up was at DraftKings. I want to see who is projected to rush for more yards. Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen. Allen. It's an interesting possible prop bet, right? Like, do you think either one of these guys? Because I'm watching all the B roll. We got Fox Sports on, we got ESPN on. This is a lot of B roll of Lamar and Josh Allen making plays. So I wonder, are these guys both going to be, you know, willing to lay it all out there? Is Josh Allen going to be diving for first downs? And Lamar, you know, Josh Allen would be my answer. I mean, even this past week, you got Derrick Henry and Lamar just takes so much pride. Did you hear how he says he loves watching? It's like watching a movie or something. He's like, cars. Yeah, it's Lightning McQueen. He called him Lightning McQueen. He just watches him take off and awe of watching him just barrel people over. So much. So much riding on this playoff game for both quarterbacks, both organizations. I think you're going to see them diving all over the field as if it's a 1980s Celtics Lakers game. Hey, Danny G. Before we wrap it up with the phone calls, if you could rewrite any story. Does anything come to mind for you? Because, like, we already established the ringer had this whole article today about how Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen get the Chance one of them get the chance to rewrite their playoff story. Is there one an ending that you want to rewrite? Yeah, there's a couple. How about you? Darvish pitching for the Dodgers or I guess you could say not pitching. Not pitching. Dodgers against the Astros and and then of course the tuck rule. Charles Woodson hitting Tom Brady in the snow there. And Greg Beaker recovers the ball. Tom Brady in the Patriots offense with their heads held down all walk off the field thinking they lost. Raiders advance with one of the top offenses and defenses that season in the in the entire league. Raiders would have went went very far. Not just my opinion, they had a really good squad. That's when Gruden was at his best. And instead Raiders go home after a weird ending to that game. You know, lives on in infamy. But what spiraled from that was Gruden getting traded to the Tampa Bay Bucks. And then the Raiders were still good enough even with that Callahan dude to go to the big game. But Gruden knew everything the Raiders were going to throw at him. And of course the Bucks blew out the Raiders in that Super Bowl. Let me throw it out there to you guys. There's no wrong answer because it's all guesses. Last week. I'll just give you the stats in the wild car round. Lamar Jackson, 15 carries as the QB. 81 yards rushing for Lamar. Josh Allen, eight carries, 46 yards. So he didn't have to use the wheels as much as Lamar. What do you think the yardage over unders are for this coming Sunday night? And who do you think they're favoring to have more yards? Just tell us. Tell me. I think Lamar's favored. Lamar, 55 yards, Josh Allen, 50 yards. Wow. Are you going over for both or no? You know what's funny is you ask us and you're the guy that gambles all the time. What does your instinct tell you? How about you tell me? I'm not gambling on it. I'm serious. I'm out of here. No, no, no, I'm being serious. It's like you're asking the guy who doesn't gamble all the time. You don't gamble. Ever. I saw Kavito. That's my point. I saw Kavino bet $500 on Ricky Hatton to knock out and that's why I don't employ Mayweather Jr. I'm still down 500 from that fight 10 years ago. Then I saw you bet on another dumb fight. Anyway, my answer is that I think both are going to be Doing everything they can to gain every little yard. So I. I sort of like both of these guys rushing for over 50 yards. So if you want to parlay that bad boy, I might so have at it. There you go. See, that's my. There you go. See, now I'm like, oh, okay, now. Oh, yeah, there you go. Now we also have to talk about this Eagles fan, and we're not talking Glenn Fry and Don Henley. We're talking the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay? We're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles and that viral creepo fan that called the lady A. See you next Tuesday. It's. It was. And as Dan Byer said, even more hurtful. Ugly, I was going to say, because you could use. You could. You could throw around the C word, and that's just rude and terrible and vulgar. Can you. My mom told us growing up that was the one word if she ever heard us say it. Ooh. We. We were dead meat. That was her word. It's. Listen, it's one tier down from a racial slur, I'll give you that. But I agree with Dan Buyer in that while that's awful, calling someone ugly to their face is pretty rude, too. That's just more rude. Right. Because one is like, you're just saying something mean. The other one's like, wow, you're really insulting me. Yeah. My physical appearance here hurt my feelings. Like, have I insulted you, Kavino, and just threw out some random words? Yeah. Hurt your feelings. If I was like, yeah, dude, your hair is awful. No. Oh, my God. Why would you bring my hairline into this? Someone said it. DB just 100% on the use of the other word is like an automatic fast track because it's the worst word that you can use. So for that person, it's the ugly portion of it where you're really trying to get personal. Yeah, man. You had to call me ugly on top of it. Yeah. I mean, not that the alternative was fine. It's just that there really took a reach to go to. Yeah. So anyway, if you don't know the story, I think the guy's name is, what, Ryan Caldwell or whatever. You've added an adjective. So this. Pos. Here we go. Now we're gonna insult this guy, right? Cause that makes it better. But this a hole. Insults. He deserves it right now. He does. He insults the packers fans, this woman in particular. They're in seats way up high at the link. Here's a different spin, something we haven't seen, though. Other Eagles fans then coming out saying, we don't Own this guy. We don't. We don't claim this guy. You know, and they're known for being rowdy, obnoxious fans, but they're like, nah, this guy. We're obnoxious and we're rowdy. But now we don't claim this dude. I mean, listen, there's levels to this. Levels, levels, levels. Level number one is simply Covino and Rich. Rule number one, we have a few givens on the show. Anytime someone gets in trouble, athlete, actor, celebrity, random person, before you defend them, Covino and I always ask ourselves, hey, would you do it? I wouldn't do it. And the answer is, absolutely not. So you're never going to defend someone that does something that you know. In other words, I'll never defend Ryan Caldwell, because I would never call, especially a strange woman in the stands with cameras around me everywhere. I would never lose my cool and be like, you ugly. You know what he said? Yeah. So rule number one, if you want to do it, don't defend some idiots that did it. Number two, Danny G had great question yesterday in the kitchen. Yeah. Someone did that to your wife or girlfriend, would you be throwing fist or what would you do? And I listen, I'll say, would you at least get in their face? Because this guy took a lot of heat online the other night and all yesterday with people saying, hey, you at least got to stand up for your fiance. But he said the reason he didn't go that route was the two goon friends with this Ryan Caldwell. If some guy and his goon friends are there, call me. You know, put him up. Call me the Cowardly Lion. I am not by myself gonna take on three dudes sitting in a row above me at a stadium full of their fans. Why? You're in. You're in. You're right in. Junk shy punch, right in the junk. Bam. Like. Like Ace Ventura boxing in that scene. Yeah, yeah. But I just look at it a step further, though. I just think to myself that I'm just gonna get an ass whooping. Well, that's a question in itself for doing. You know, listen, I'm all about defending my wife, but you gotta know not to be the moron you're not. You gotta know where you're at. Okay, well, let me play devil's advocate then. You gotta know where you're at when you're buying tickets. In that section, there were plenty of Eagles fans saying, hey, I'm a Philly fan, and I won't sit in that section. Danny, you know what? I'm never doing. I'm never going. He put his wife in harm's way. I'm never going to a Yankees game and sitting with the bleacher creatures wearing a Red Sox jersey. So first of all, yeah, use your head. But I don't know. I'm not saying that makes it right, but you got to know where you're going. And Danny, I'm not being righteous. Like, I don't believe in violence, but you know what? I also don't believe in some Jo's words. Insulting my wife would really not only bother me, but of course my wife. I think the wrong move is to be like, I'm gonna fight these guys. You'll get your ass kicked. Your wife will sit there looking at you with a bloody face. What do you, like, show some sort of manhood where you want to defend her? And that was where the criticism came. I. But it's just, it's so tricky. And if any guy is like, yeah, well, I would have whooped her. Yeah. Really? You would have taken on three guys, again, who have leverage. They're a row above you. Picture a stadium seating, right, Danny? And I'm, I'm. I'll give you a second. Let me picture this. Kavino's jokingly said, yeah, but you're a junk level. These guys are above you. They could shove you down. They have all the leverage. They're fighting down, they're punching down. There's three of them, and there's three of them. You're fighting up. Trust me, most, most reasonable wives or girlfriends would be like, honey, don't. Well, what trump that story was the fact that Ryan Caldwell was the jerk of the year, right? Like, people are hating on this guy now. Everyone's trying to figure out who he is. Everybody found out who he was, and now he's fired from his job. The fiance put him on blast. He posted it on Twitter, he tagged a Packers fan group, and it even got to a Philly fan leader. Like a dude that does like a big time Eagles podcast. And so they outed this guy. Good one. Tony the Sluice, the Internet sluice, found out where he worked on the website of his company. They say that they're, you know, a big proponent of human rights and everything and just inclusivity. Inclusivity, exactly. And so they had to make a quick move. They. They fired them. Their last paragraph or the last sentence they wrote though, was they also feel that people should not be judged based on their worst day. So he's sort of getting what he deserves. Maybe they Hire him back when the smoke clears. Who knows they're firing him? Because, again, they stand on inclusivity and being prideful and good things. Do you think he should have been fired for having a bad moment? And I guess the side question is, should the husband of this woman have done something in that moment? And what would you have done? I love the layers of this question. Yeah. Let me answer first, and then we'll pass the baton around. Take your calls at 877-99-FOX. I think the wise move is as much as you feel like confident in your own abilities, I'm not fighting a group of fans when I'm the lone. If I. If I'm the lone packers fan amongst a circle of Eagles fans and someone calls my wife a name. As much as I'd want to whoop someone's ass, I am just going to, with a cooler head, be like, you know, babe, let's get out of here. Secondly, oddly enough, as much as this guy is trash, he did apologize. I don't think he should lose his job. And I know you are constantly nowadays. It's 2025. You're. There's no hiding. He's trash. He. You're taking away a man's livelihood, his mortgage, his money. I get it. And you're taking away his tickets because he's no longer allowed at all future events at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. But, Rich, you're an extension of your company, and we know that better than anybody. I think you're an extension of your company when you're a public figure on the radio, tv, or you're an executive. I think anywhere you go now because of how everybody just can pull their cell phone out and show the world what you're doing. Yeah, that. I mean, right? Yeah. Yeah. There's accountability now. I know. I just. Did this guy work at the jerk store. Wait, where do you work? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sam. Yeah. By the way, Rich, the argument to the other side of your argument about, hey, you're the only packers fan right there, he's got two goons with him. But one comment I saw several times was, yeah, but, dude, you didn't do anything. Your fiance was sitting right next, right below this guy. You didn't even switch seats with her. Yeah. Cause the fiance was on the other side outside of this mess. Yeah. He could have been. That he took out his camera and filmed. At the very least, you need to say, honey, come over here. On this side, I'm sitting next to this guy. That is a great idea. Listen, my wife And I were at a concert once, and there was some drunk idiot behind us spilling beer on us the whole time. I did what you said. I switched chairs with my wife. And then eventually I'm like, yo, dude, you know, game a little. Yeah, relax. Step two, you say something. Yeah, you say a little something kindly like, hey, yo, I know we're at a concert row, but you keep spilling beer on my. You know, my wife and I can you. I think I knew what I would have done. And. And eventually my thought was like, you just said, though, on the flip side, I represent Fox Sports. I represent Sirius XM and our own brand. What am I gonna do? Be like, that's it. You spill beer, you know, like, hit him in the chunk, right? Like. Like Ace Ventura or. What movie was that? No, that was a Dumb and Dumber. Dumb and Dumber. You punch him in the junk like a speed bag, and you poke him in the eyes like Mo from the Three Stooges, right? Then I invent the wrestling move called the triple noggin knocker, where I take his two buddies, heads and all. I ran. Yeah, I ran all three of them together. And then I show my wife who's the man. So how do you. How do you a. You know, in my story that I just wrote, I'm the hero. Without sounding too old school, how do you stick up for, you know, the woman in your life? What do you do? I just told you. How do you handle. Oh, I know. I'm asking everyone else because the phones are hot. Covino, you made me think of the meme I sent you guys the other night from this. This dude on Twitter, Andy Swan. He says, hear me out. A Netflix series where MMA champions go undercover to Eagles games wearing the opposing team's jersey. I love that. There was a. I don't know if it was in Philadelphia, but it was. It was somewhere recently where some dude was picking a fight with this guy, and that guy was a fighter, and the fighter had the. The restraint to not engage in the altercation. Meanwhile, he would have destroyed this dude. When you're a fighter professionally, aren't your hands actually, like, a legal weapon? That is not true, Cavino. It was proven to be false. It was a Bill's Texans game where they thought it was a fighter. But I get what you're saying. I saw the same thing, too. And I showed my wife and said, boy, this guy's really lucky. Then a week later, they're like, yeah, that wasn't the fighter. It was just kind of looked like him or Something. Yeah. I bit for it as well. I was disappointed. It looks just psycho. You feel good though? The Dan fell for it for a second. I did as well. Hey, D.B. you're a reasonable. Saying that to make me feel better. Arguably the most reasonable guy in the room. You're not fighting with some guy. You would be upset. Yeah. And you can't fight him because he's a row above you. It's so good. Take his legs out, pull him by his feet. You got to think quick. Yeah. If he was the row below, maybe you consider it. I understand. And I think that Danny's thing is noble. But then this guy doesn't lose his job. And that's where I disagree with Rich, is. Yeah. See you later. If this is how you're going to act, lose your job, you have to deal with some sort of penalty, a repercussion of it. And if it's your career because. And he didn't stop. It wasn't just a one comment. He was. He kept on doing it. It was hostile, it was awkward. It's gone viral. It's an F round and find out sort of moment. And he found out he lost his job at BCT Partners, a DEI focused management consulting firm. And he lost his opportunity to go to any other games. Everybody hates him. So was the punishment too hard that it matched a crime? And what would you have done in this situation? Your calls. 87799 on Fox. Let's go quickly to you guys. A lot of feedback. Love it. CNR on fsr. We'll start with Noah in Maine. Noah, so many layers. How do you handle it? Do you think the guy deserves to be called out publicly in 2025? Is that how things are? What do you think? So I'm. I'm 27 years old, man. Do I think he should be called out publicly? To an extent, yes. I'll use an example for myself. I went to a concert with my wife like back in November and this guy was being rude to her as man. I said, hey, chill out. After the concert ended. If you're a man, you talk it out. We talked it out. Everything was good. Men are gonna be men. Boys are gonna be boys. I do think the guy could have stuck up for his wife just a little bit more than what he did. Just said, hey, cut it out. Like the thing. Cool. But at the end of the day when it's a three on one situation, even me as a 320 pound man, I'm not. I'm not messing with that one. Yeah. Like, where's the crime? In, like, you could get a feel of a situation, right? You turn around like, hey, man, how about you have a little respect? That's my wife, dude. There should be some sort of man to man understanding. Yeah, but add alcohol, add a boisterous playoff game, and you know what? You. But all you said I know was, can you have some respect? That's my wife. You haven't said anything that is really gonna cause more of a flare up. And if it does, you know, it's a layer. You still did your job. There's another layer of this that we haven't talked about. And it's also how you respond to road rage. What does the guy look like? If some weakling, scrawny nerd tells some, you know, tells off my wife, that's way different than if I turn around and it's a dude that looks like, you know, a linebacker in the NFL. You know, if some beast of Don's like, yeah, I might say, honey, let's get out of here. And if it's, you know, it's a difference if it looks like some guy, you know, you could handle Dan in Washington State. What's up, buddy? Hey, Dan. Hey, what's going on, guys? Kind of deja vu here. 2010. I'm a Packers fan, grew up in Wisconsin. There I am sitting in, in the link, watching the, Watching the wild card game, Packers, Eagles, and a woman in front of me turns around and calls me the C word. Kind of interesting. Not, not, not acceptable by any means. We got good tickets. A bunch of buddies we knew going into there was going to be contentious. My buddy got smoked with a tomato from the upper deck. It's, it's just, it's. It's a wild place. Still doesn't excuse the, doesn't excuse the, the behavior, but brought back some memories, let me tell you. No cornball was so offensive. I call Rich a cornball every day. Oh, different C word. Oh, with a tomato. What is this, a Medieval Times Fozzie Bear? Who are you fighting with? Waka waka. You know, that's some hell of a home field advantage right there, man. You might get a tomato. Can I tell you, we'll take one more phone call from Bruno, but let me tell you, a tomato. I've said this before, and I wasn't lying. When I'm in Philadelphia, when I've gone to go see the Mets, let's say, play the Phillies, I put my Mets jersey or T shirt in a bag. I change in the stadium because I Don't even want to walk through the parking lot or have them see my car or anything with a Met shirt on. So Philly is tough. Deal with it or don't go to the game. You're going to expect it. It doesn't excuse bad behavior, but it. It's expected at this point. Right? Well, Bruno and Brooklyn wrap this up for now. What's up? What's up? I'll keep it tight. Gentlemen, good afternoon. Hey, another great topic. I love the topic. Hey, real quickly, if you read the whole story with this. When the guy started filming, the guys that were up above him said, look, we'll kick your. You know what? You know, you want a piece of meat. I mean, there was a section in there where the guy did threaten you with the phone to put the phone down. So there was going to be an altercation to that point. I'll just tell you, as a Yankees fan going over to Boston, you know, over to the Park Fenway, I've been in that predicament. We've been over there where you're in a section where there's a dozen people around you, you know, pretty much not spitting on you and throwing beers on you, but you don't dare throw because you're not going to come out of that looking good. And, you know, it's just. It is what it is, man. But, hey, listen, guy kept his cool. I don't think his wife thinks any less of him for it. You know what? He's got his teeth and he's not in hostile. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah, you know, it could. It could have ended terribly. Like. So let's say he has this machismo pride and he tries to take on all these guys. You think his wife wants him missing some teeth with a broken eye socket in the hospital? Well, he stuck up for me. I mean, sometimes you gotta put this aside. Did you guys ever watch the show Louie with Louis ck? I love Louis CK okay, so there's like. There is the one episode where he goes on, like, a blind date with a woman, and these teenage boys kind of like get in Louis face or they mess with his date and they, like, threatened to beat him up and he kind of slinks away. Do you remember that? Following the kid, this, like, teenage kid following him on the subway all the way home, and he finds out that, like, the kid's father is, like, abusive, but then he ends up having a conversation with the kid's father. He, like, waits for him outside and then, like, knocks on the door. That shows actually really good. Quick question just. And I know you're short on time, but if you see a car fly past you on the highway, do you want to see him pulled over or do you want to see them sideways in a ditch a mile up the road? It's funny you should say that because I always say to my wife, I hope we see this guy pulled over because you don't want to see anyone get hurt. That's ridiculous. But is he going to learn his lesson? Well, maybe he needs to be in a ditch. I don't know. I guess we'll see. Can I just add on one thing? Sure. To that episode, his date finds it very off putting that he didn't stand up to that teenage kid and she, like, dumps him. She's like, no, I don't like this. Like, you didn't, you didn't do what you're supposed to do. And so like, it kind of. It ticked him off so much, they end up following the kid home. You should be off putting. That's a great point, Rich. In the comments under this story, there were a few women and they started arguing with each other because a few of them said, if my guy didn't at least get in the way and move me out of that situation, I would think less of him. That's what we're saying. I'm joking when I'm saying he should give him a triple nugget knocker. But he didn't do anything tricky. That's the question. That's the criticism. He taped it. He did, yeah. By the way, this guy got. This guy got the last laugh.

Kove gets first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Spotty Boy, if you knew how much effort I put into this, you would really be upset. Oh, I'm sorry. We have no time left. Play the water. The squirrel. Water skiing. All right, file this under the oddest of friends, friendships. I'm really angry. We all know and love Christopher Bad Dog Russo. Well, he's developed. Developed quite the budding relationship with none other than Hollywood star Timothy Chalamet. Timothy Chalamet. Say what I know. Believe it or not, the. A complete unknown star was making the rounds recently promoting his Bob Dylan biopic, made an appearance on college game day, and everyone was impressed with the knowledge that he presented, including Christopher Mad Dog Russo, who was like, get this. Get this guy a show. Timothy Chalamet. Get him a show. Yeah, well, loves him. It got back to Timothee Chalamet. He's like, oh, we gotta. We gotta fly this. He has to come to the premiere. So Timothee Chalamet invited Mad Dog Russo to London to the London premiere of A complete unknown. Mad Dog's daughter documented the whole thing, the trip there, right up to meeting Timothy Chalamet at the London premiere. It's a great. It's incredible. Go check it out on the social media. It was. There's clips all over it online midweek or major. This is major. Definitely. Timothy Chalamet has proven that he's a bros bro. He's changed how everyone perceived him. We all thought he was like a. Like a theater goon. Turns out he's a cool guy. And this makes him even cooler, in my opinion, to treat Mad Dog Russo with the respect he deserves. There's so many people, they're like, who's this Mad Dog guy? Mad Dog's the guy that paved the way for everybody else. We know him personally. We worked with him. I love this story. It's major. I agree with you. I love. I love this story and I love the friendship. It's the modern day Snoop and Martha Stewart. I really, honestly, watching them embrace cracks me up because we all know Mad Dog. He's a. He's a really wild guy. And just the fact that he loves Dylan, he loves the sports knowledge of Chalamet, it's a. It's a really funny friendship. And it was fun to watch. And it proves that Chalamet knows Who he's talking about. He said he wanted to portray Ernie Johnson in a documentary someday, a biopic. He knows his sports. He knows what Mad Dog Russo means to the sports game. All right. We've been talking recently about the decline of NBA viewership. Well, perhaps viewership is down because fans have turned their attention to the adult site only fans. Not that I know what's going on there. The comparison is staggering. So last year, the NBA's combined payroll for the season was 4.9 billion. Yeah. Compared to OnlyFans creators pulling in a whopping 6.6 billion. Obviously it's a little bit of a clickbait headline because there's 560 NBA players and close to 2 million content creators on OnlyFans. That being said, not all of them are pulling in bank. There's only a few, select few that make that much money. So anyway, might bring those. They might have to bring back a little more skin to the NBA. What do you think? Those short shorts midweek or major? That's major, definitely. Because we're very aware of how much money NBA players make. When you realize that OnlyFans is dishing out $6.6 billion, it puts things in perspective. You're like, are you serious? It makes me want to quit this job. No one's gonna pay for you. $6.6 billion. I only made $6.06 on my Los Lonely fans page, so I must be doing something wrong. But yeah, yeah, no, I think this is major because it's just a major industry. Another major headline. Definitely major. And I'll tell you why. Because it's. It just shows that men love sports, women love sports. But you know what men also love booty. $6 billion guys are spending to look at random girls paying. And Danny G. Off air. You pointed out something interesting earlier. Two million creators. There's two million parents out there that have like, what are you doing? It's mind blowing. What are you doing? There's 2 million sad dads. Their revenue, by the way, in 2023 of was 1.3 billion with a B, everybody. That's how much they put in their pocket. Do these people not realize that porn is free? I don't get it. Yeah, I'm gonna have to start putting my reject stories on on only fans. You know, watch me read them. Spot the. The old saying used to be keep. Keep your kid off the pole. Now it's like, keep them off the fans. Keep them off the of. All right. Speaking of NBA, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that LeBron was the special guest on the Kelsey Brothers New Height podcast this past week. And speaking of ratings, address the Christmas Day ratings battle between the NFL and the NBA. If you recall, LeBron after the game was like, yeah, you know, Christmas Day belong or you know belongs to the NBA. Well, you did concede saying obviously the NFL did have big ratings, but because of Beyonce not had nothing to do with the game. If you recall, they had about 65 million viewers on game day for the NFL. He also addressed one of his famous haters online who tweeted out when LeBron turned 30, he's like, Ah, this guy won't last much longer. He said that that tweet haunted him for his entire 30s. And funny enough, the guy actually posted recently on his 40th birthday saying I he's not going to last much longer. So LeBron had some fun with that. Midweek or major? I think it's major. The whole story's major. Anything involving the new Heights podcast, huge show. LeBron James big worlds collide makes big news. The only mid part of it of it is him attributing the ratings to Beyonce. I'm not saying she didn't help, but the NFL clobbered them. Regardless. Regardless, I agree. Listen, I think the story's sort of major mid because it's all stuff we know. Even though the names are big. That's so mid. I don't know. I mean I, I think the, the clips you see with like LeBron and the Kelsey Brothers are funny. I like the their interactions. But you know what? LeBron's still bringing it to 40. I thought that tweet was funny. And Beyonce that is standing alone on Netflix now people like want to just watch that halftime show. It's an isolated show on Netflix now. You want to sneak one more in? Go ahead. Let's come on this. Oh, this is salacious. Still sticking in the NBA. So Kevin Love facing some social media backlash for a post he made after Monday's night night's game versus the Clippers. So the the Heat lost 109 to 98 after giving up 69 points in the second half. So love went on Instagram. Oh, this actually combines only fans as well. Posting a viral or photo of the viral only fans model who was known for having relations with over a thousand men in a day. Dude, that happened this week. She slept with 1057 men in one day with 12 hours. 12 hours with the by the way, listen to this caption. When someone asked me how effed our second Half was last night. So everyone was like, like all the comments section was going wild. Like, bro, I didn't know you were like this. How could you post this? What the heck? So a little bit of a, you know, eye opening post by Kevin Love. Midweek or major? I think it's major. He knows that the NBA and only fans are competing. So he's like, if you can't beat him, join him. You know what? Trying to combine the worlds. I think it shows a little. A little humor out of Kevin Love, who, you know, has been known as a great, you know, great man in the NBA. It deals with a lot of mental health. He's addressed that. Kevin Love's a good dude and I love showing that side of his humor. Listen, it's not like a vulgar joke. I mean, it's funny. I think it's hilarious. Timely joke. Yeah. D.B. you're up. Yeah. Sorry, Spot. Hey, D.B. sorry to make you rush. That was a good segment. Don't worry, guys. It allows me to just tell everyone that again, Only Dance, we're pushing it off to fourth quarter 2025. Early 2025. I'm gonna subscribe to Only Dance. Danny G and I are. Yeah. Please don't make it act like Dan Patrick's not involved. Is there a pre order? Can I get it on? This sounds hot. Fourth quarter, 2025. Mark your calendars. Dan Marino, Aziz, El Shire, Dan, Quinn, Daniels, and Danny's are all welcome as well. Danny, I love when. When you. Cavino, myself, Sam, Spot, if we all end up seeing the same stupid article and we feel the same way, I'm convinced, like, yo, we're onto something. I saw the same clickbait thing that you saw where it's like, Tom Brady really blowing it in the booth. Yeah. And by the way, I don't think Tom Brady's as bad as people think. I'm not saying. Listen, he's. No, he's, you know, it's not Al Michaels in his prime. He's not Mike Tirico or, you know, Joe Buck. He's not Tony Romo. He's. I get it. He's not Collinsworth. Tony Romo's beginning a lot of criticism too, though. Everyone's just a hater. Yeah. Really is. Greg Olson's great. He's probably stronger than Brady, but Brady's Tom Brady. I don't think he's bad. I think he's getting better. I think he's good. Not great. I'm not going to. I think if you let Tom Brady be Tom Brady, his work ethic will put him where he needs to be. But the reality is, I don't think Tom Brady's bad at all. And some people are like, he's terrible. People just hate. Oh, the headline said, Brady makes major mistake on air. And I click, clicked on it. Like, what are you doing? Like, oh, man, Tom Brady. I got to see this, too, because I watch that game and I don't remember a big mistake. Would you believe Tom Brady? Which is something. This is something every single person in this room has probably done 20 times in their life. He was talking about the Eagles. And he goes, yeah, on that third down, the Phillies. I'm sorry, Philadelphia. The Eagles. They should have shifted right there. And people said he called them the Phillies. He doesn't even know what sport he's calling. Everyone that knows sports has one time been like, the Phillies. I'm sorry. I mean, Philadelphia Eagles, because their baseball teams are Phillies. That's so dumb. I felt so dumb for even clicking on this article. Horrible. Yeah. To give him that much criticism. He said, Phillies whoopity do. Just because you're great at some things doesn't mean you're great at others. And that's why I said, he's not great. He can't be great across the board. But he's not bad. But that he also welcomes the hate. That's a slip. People slip all the time. That's dumb because there's a microscope. Here's a guy that lived in the NFL for all those years, he doesn't know it's Philadelphia. He doesn't know they're not the Phillies, you idiots. Sloppy tongue. No, there's a. There's a microscope on him and is out the gate. Is he the best broadcaster ever? No. Could he improve? He definitely can improve. But I don't think he's bad. Right? I mean, I don't think he's bad at all. Yeah. Greg Olson was a stronger combo with Burkhart. He really is good. But he's not Tom Brady. But he's not Tom. Yeah. So it's. There's give and take. Listen. It happens in all businesses. So, hey, at Covino and Rich, if you want to chime in on anything you missed today, remember last week, Rich, when you said Covino and Rick? More Covino and Rick. Yeah. I don't even know Rick. I don't even know my own name. Rick. Someone needs to write an article about it. This guy doesn't even know his own name. The world famous, let alone Rick Sports. He doesn't even know the name of his own show. Well done, Rick. That's funny. Spot the world famous Kavino and Rick. All right, listen, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Have a great night.
