that fun and the visuals here on Fox Sports Radio.
So I'm Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis. We have
lots to get to today. When do I want to
catch in my two venti coffees that you owe me
(01:41):
for a two game sweep Mets Yankees whenever you want,
and you deserve it because the Yankees stink to the
high heavens right now, please discuss either that or you
caught a hot Mets team while the Yankees, who are
better than the Mets, we caught your team, called you
caught our team. That's exactly what happened. But I'm telling you,
I knew the chemistry would be jeopardized when DJ Lemayhew,
(02:03):
who I love. I know he has a great history
batting champion in both leagues. I know what he's capable of,
but he's never been the same since he's been hurt,
and I knew it would mess with the chemistry and
it has, and I just hope they find their way again.
But hey, the Mets dominated the Yankees, and the silver
lining here is Aaron Judge is a beast. It on
(02:26):
Danny the way you watch Otani every day on the
Dodgers and you're in awe of this. Dude, I don't
watch the Yankees obviously the way Cavino does.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm a Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Any ball that's pitched in the vicinity, you have this
feeling that Aaron Judge could just yank it out like
line drive into the left field bleachers, exit velocity, not
even getting all of the ball, just like they contact,
it's gone. Because he's so strong. Thirty home runs in
eighty games. He's on a sixty home run pace, so
(02:58):
props to him the same as two actually, so again,
let's get into it. We'll talk hero moments today. Hero
Moments is a story about a ball boy that man, Wow,
he's a hero.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Speaking of Otani, he saved his life. Yes, yes, you're
gonna get to that. Heroes Us every Thursday, we throw
it back. We reminisce old school and fifty hits on
the clock. Let's just say it involves some old school
video games. But there's a little twist, so stick around
for that. And first and first, mostly got to talk
about the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now before we get to the NBA draft, And something
you watched last night that ties into sports.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
A part of sports that I love cheerleaders, Oh America, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well we'll get to that. But I saw a story
that's right up your alley. Because you're a conspiracy weirdo
at times.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, me, way to paint a great picture of your boy,
you know, can you done the guy?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But working with twenty years weirdo? I saw an article
out of the New York Post that is right up
your alley. It said aliens might be living among us
disguised as humans.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And why is that so crazy to think?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You see some of the weirdos that work here at
Fox Sports, Oh, Mike runs his place. I see some
guys talking to themselves, who like, what was that guy doing?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
How do you get a job?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
There is someone here that does talk to them most
didn't you see the classic movie Men in Black?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They're among us?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That movie, Everything about that movie, it all came true.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I'm just saying, imagine it. That's Hollywood's way of preparing
you for the truth. Imagine if everyone that's an elite
level we end up finding out it's because they're an alien.
What if we found out Otani, Aaron Judge, Taylor Swift, uh,
you name it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, these silly humans think I'm real, them.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Thinking Otani unzips his face at night. Yeah, we did
it again. What if like mahomes unzips his face Like, oh,
it makes sense now, Aaron Judge Alien, all these guys aliens,
Elon Musk Alien.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'll forward you that article for later because I just
saw that. I'm like, oh, could you love this?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Sam Cassell Alien.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've always thought that Willie McGee.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Sam Cassell Alien for sure. So anyway, thank you guys,
Thank you Rich You're right. I did watch a cheerleading
documentary that I will get to. But I did tune
into the NBA draft first. Yeah, you know, which is
going on as we speak. Not a draft that will
go down in the history books as like whoa excitement, unless,
(05:28):
of course, some of these guys just turn out to
be bigger than we think. But you heard the narrative
last night, which was a lot of these guys could
be role players, bench players. I don't think anyone's changing
their franchise with the first round last night. That was
the that was the thought I got. But Danny g
your Lakers got the shooter you wanted.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, man, that he was a steal connect. He was
you know, a lot like Steven A.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Woods.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
He was a guy that a lot of people thought
would go in the top. A lot of people had
them ranked like eighth, ninth. And so when the Griz
took Edie off the board, who some people had as
the you know, proported player that maybe the Lakers would
consider at seventeen, all of a sudden, Tennessee Shooter is
their sec scoring leader is there on the board. And
(06:17):
you know, Polenka was salivating.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh yeah, And you know what the observations I made were.
You know, my feelings on draft projections and predictions, they're
all horse manure.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
No one knows until they play.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But no, it's that stuff I use in the shower
rich oh hogwash, Yeah, that stuff it is.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But the narrative today is.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Edie perhaps a little too early, and your boy connect.
You guys got a shooter, As stephen A said, JJ Reddick.
The Lakers are sick of Laham bricks, lebron and Ad
kicking it out to guys that are just missing, miss
and missing. So maybe you have the sharp shooter you
need to fit right into your Lakers. But those are
(07:01):
big takeaways. And then the obvious is it was just
good background TV last night.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It was the com before tonight's Storm of the Debates,
and it was just good background. Now the way, leave
that juicy, nothing that interesting, and people are still waiting
to see what.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Happens to Bronnie. That's the real story.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I feel like I'm putting the wrong emphasis, but I
know I'm not Zacharay your number one pick. It's interesting
also because we've talked about over the last decades how
global the game has become, and you know, another Frenchman
taking number one. Couple French players. In fact, I was
(07:39):
saying to Danny g before the show, and I don't know. Again,
I'm not Doug Gottlieb. I'm not your superstar basketball analyst.
I bring fun, I don't bring the UH. I don't
bring that level of insight. But how do you compare
a guy that played in France against the guy that
played at like Yukon or Kentucky. Like to me, it's
(08:00):
like you're it's any international player. They get extra credit
because they're beyond their years because they play with men
at a professional level early in their life, so they're
sort of prepared in a different way. And that's what
we're seeing with these younger foreign players, you know, like
like men. They're not playing like boys because they've played
with men already a lot of times. The criticism in
(08:22):
the NFL is it's hard to assess a quarterback that
didn't play in a big conference because well, who did
they play against? It is a little interesting when you're like, hey,
this guy played in France, this guy played here, this
guy played in Division one hoops for Duke, Like, how
do you even if they've never played against the same
people in the same league.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Isn't it as risky as any draft pick?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Yeah, I think it's completely risky. And the thing that
was not surprising, but still it jars my ears. Actually
the analysis of Dalton connect one of the reasons that
he fell too old, So it's almost the less you know, right,
the better the possibility of that lottery ticket being the
(09:03):
Mega Millions winner. You're drafting a lot on potential until
you see some of these French guys.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He's twenty four, connects twenty four. They made it tell
like he was seventy four.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, right, truly, like it was like that was
something that was against him. But he plays in rock
ports because you want the guy with the possibility of
being that All Star, you want that lottery ticket.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And that's what the NBA draft has become.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, the NBA draft needs to be all guys wearing
high socks because if you're rocking ankle socks too, all yeah,
you gotta have that high sock energy, not low sock energy.
You gotta be a younger fella. But some of these
foreign players are just far more mature. They play more
of a mature game than today's American That's been the
observation in the past few years.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
In Rich He's not even that at least twenty three.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, you know what, they made it seem like the
dude needed to do. Jesser Menez, Yeah, when's his birthday.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Let's see April nineteen, okay, so he just turned yeah,
just turned twenty. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
If you ask somebody how old they are, and they'll
tell you how old they will be, not how old
they actually are.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, as you get older, you go the opposite wall.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Twenty four in April. I like that.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
No, so you're twenty three? dB I do that too sometimes, Yeah,
all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I don't know why he does it, because you had
like me, every time I talk hi about my age.
As the years pass, I just keep saying forty ish,
I go the other way. I don't you know, we
don't attack it on the years. We interviewed a comedian
named rod Man. Remember Rodman a while back, Not Dennis Rodman,
a guy named rod Man. And I was like, yo, man,
how old are you? He goes, what I'm grown? I'm like, no,
(10:37):
but how old are?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He goes.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I don't tell people how old am because then you're
trying to judge me. I just tell them I'm grown.
So what's your question? So you do get to a
point where you just say I'm grown grown, I'm grown,
grown grown now. I guess all eyes today and of
course Donald Trump a man Joe Biden tonight. But besides
(10:59):
the debate, what I thought you were gonna say? Though,
Rich and I give you a credit for dancing around it.
I thought for sure you were gonna give the lazy opinion,
which is true, because I was feeling it that it
was kind of boring. The draft was boring. I'm surprised
you didn't say that, well, but I thought it was.
I just you know what it is. I praise you
all for focusing on the positives, but I got a
(11:19):
boring vibe out of it. Could have been my mood.
I did go to the gym, I was on the treadmill.
Maybe it was just me, but that's the vibe I guy.
My wife's observation was and again it's not like we're
old timers, but she's like, some of these guys look
like little kids.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They really do.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I like that they showed some emotion that it meant
something to these guys. I saw them fighting back, some emotions,
some tears. That was kind of cool. Did you see
how ab was live tating?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, he got hot water.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, basically said.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Dropping some old school gay slang that is not appreciated
in the twenty twenty four society. Yeah, Antonio' brown somehow
made the headlines last night.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
And besides that, I on Twitter some comments of people
saying this is the first NBA draft class where I
feel like I could beat some of them up.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
My wife is from the San Antonio area in New Brumfles, Texas,
and the Spurs chose Stefan Castle from Yukon.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
My wife's like, how old is he looks like he's sixteen.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He had his you know, he had his cool dreads
under his hat, glasses on.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She's like, he looks like a high school kid.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm like, not far off, you know, greg Odin, Yeah,
that's not true, because high school kids, ok at it
look like alpaca boys, That is true.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Broccoli heads.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Alex Sar, the second overall pick, was brought to tears.
But that's because he found out he had to play
for the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And did he say? Is that a real team? Then
he said, I'm France, is that a real team?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You make me disappear?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So hey, what'd you say, Jenner? Al pakahead, al pakahead,
al packa boys.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yes, that's twenty five thousand dollars alpa Do you.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know every high school kid has that broccoli head.
He looked like a bunch of alpacas walking around. I
told my daughter because she goes into high school next year.
I'm like, dad's got a few rules. One of them
no outpack of boys. Okay, no kids older.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
That's the look.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
She's not gonna date anyone good, even better. Uh So
last night NBA Draft, we're avoiding the word boring because
I go by the mindset if you say something's boring,
that just means you're boring. No, but I thought for
sure that's what you were gonna say, and you didn't,
so I wanted to point that out. I just with
the influx of international players, I think the takeaways are
(13:30):
it's probably even trickier than ever for these front offices
to make the right pick because it's like, again, nineteen
year old kid from France that's been playing with men
versus some dude that's been playing in Cincinnati or Yukat
or Syracuse. So he said, at that point, you're just
going on potential. Yeah, that's it, and uh.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
We come from France.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I think we're about to hit the stage where I
think free agency will be way more exciting than the draft.
But I guess the big story today Danny g is
is Bronnie gonna get picked or the Lakers just gonna
pick him up as an unsigned free agent, and that's
gonna be the path.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
So a little bit of buzz about the Spurs and
what they're doing looking way towards the future, like collecting
picks for twenty thirty, twenty thirty one. All of us
we don't know what we're doing next week, and they're
planning way ahead.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Spurs.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Hey, you know what, You're right. The Spurs are building something.
Unfortunately probably won't be with coach Pop because that he's
getting up there. I don't think he'll be around in
ten years still coaching. But Spurs rebuilding in a pretty
sweet way. So, hey, thoughts on the NBA draft last night?
Let us know at Covino and Rich and if we
hear anything about Bronnie or any other updates, you'll get
(14:37):
him here on Fox Sports Radio Dan b Dan Pyers,
NBA Dan Bate and b He's on the case. And
while I was watching the draft, there came a point
Rich where I was like, you know what, I'm all
draft it out right now.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Let me see what's doing on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh well, it's not like you were going to turn
to the Mets Yankees game. Oh, trending number one. And
I heard some juice things about it, and my girlfriend
agreed to watch. And that's always a struggle in itself,
you know, getting them to agree. Are you agreeing on something?
So I'm like, I'll watch that some beautiful women sounds
good to me, and she wanted to watch it. There's
(15:16):
a new show trending number one called America's Sweetheart the
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. It's been a few seasons, right, this
is on Netflix right now.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Netflix has it now. Another network used to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Right, okay, But the story is like you'd be surprised
to see how much drama these girls go through. That's
sort of the juice and the vibe of it, right,
Like it's brutal because here's what guys don't factor in
a lot of times.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
If you played sports, a lot of it was just based.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
On your athletic ability, right, your hustle, your grind, how
tough you were, did you have a skill? We were
never judged in this esthetic.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Way that women are. And it is brutal.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You know, you're seeing them judge behind the scenes, like,
I don't know, her face is a little fat, I
don't know. No one's ever judged, No one's ever judged
your cankles or thighs exactly And it's like, wow, man,
and we know this, but when you hear it, it's
a different story. I told you that the first time
when when I, uh, you know, I coach the kids sports.
(16:23):
When you get those parents with no kids in the room,
I was shocked at how they talked about the kids. Yeah,
that's what you get on the shot. You're like, man,
there's the seven women put themselves in a position to
be unfortunately criticized in the most brutal of ways. It's
not about necessarily their dancing ability all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's about what they look like.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
And I get it. I'm not playing naive. That's part
of the gig, right. You can't love like a like
a slough dancing for the or cheering for the cowboys
and all of.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
That so they can make a couple hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Per That's where we were going with this. Okay, I'm Danny.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Now, I'm not saying it's the same thing. I have
to make that very clear, and it's a bit of
a stretch. But we all talk about how the WNBA
players aren't making enough. Right, they should be getting paid
with the men get paid. But when you hear what
(17:24):
these women make, and we've known this because we've faited
a few of them dancers, or interviewed them and had
them on the show, when you hear them talk about this,
it's almost like, Wow, that's a little pathetic because they're
not just pretty girls. These are the most talented girls
who've been through this grind, who are reaching and striving
(17:47):
for this goal, who've given up everything to do this
on a professional I guess you would say highest level.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
They're not just girls who could do choreography.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
These are trained expert dancers, experts in their field, the
best of the best, who looked the best. If you're
a girl that could dance and cheer and move, unless
you're you know, in New York City, in New York
City doing ballet or on Broadway or a strip club,
like there's only so many pets a dancer could go, right, No,
these girls are.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Elite the ballet ballroom.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, but it's it's ridiculous to I agree with you
one hundred sem believe or not. When you see the
Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, I was saying, just to google Google
e this for me for as I could get the
Google machine going google the net worth of the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, fair,
but you know they're worth I don't know, tops in
the NFL nine billion.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
So when you're talking about Forbes, the women were being interviewed, right,
they're sitting there and she's saying she makes about as
much as a Chick fil a worker and probably not
meaning they make more. They make about thirty thousand dollars
a year. And look, I get it. They sign up
for this and it's like a prestigious thing. But aren't
(18:58):
they the top notch echalon of what a cheerleader or
dancer is supposed to be. They all have full time jobs,
they're nurses, their professionals, and then they have to do
this later on and get paid penut. It seems like
a weak ass side hustle for the visibility. Like if
you're a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, I would think it's more
(19:19):
than a few, like one hundred bucks a game or
an appearance. Here, it's all for the clout, it's all
for the bragging right of saying you're a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
Because they're not getting paid anything. And my point here
and again it's a stretch, But I don't think it's
for everybody to be so up in arms about what
the WNBA makes. How come no one gives a dittaly
(19:39):
squad about what these girls make. They make nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We have pointed it out on our show before. The
WNBA is still going to be in debt even with
all the popularity this season.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I know.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
So it's simple mathematics when you're talking about the revenue
and the TV contracts and why the WNBA players aren't
earning more. But when it comes to the NFL billions
and billions of dollars, So come on, man, give them
more money and the.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Easy The whole premise of the show is look at
what these girls go through. That's the thing. The reason
these are the chosen girls and this is what they
do is because other girls they're not as qualified, they
don't look as good unfortunately, and they're.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Not willing to do what they're doing. You know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I listen, I have not been addressed yet. I want
to how are they still making a few hundred dollars
per game? But Sam, it's not even just and you
just said they're worth nine billion dollars. This is the
Dallas Cowboys. What do you think other professional dancers are
making in the NBA, The Lakers girls, the Nick City dancers,
they're making chump change.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
To be the best at what they do.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And again, it's weird how we care about certain things
and not about other things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think they add a lot to a game as
a fan, they really do. Can I add one more thing?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's almost like someone I think a couple of magazines
have done this over the years, Like how much a
mom would be paid for all the work that she
does for her kids. It's like one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars a year. Yeah, like changing diapers, making meals, bathtime,
vacuuming everything that's to do with being like a house housewife, soilmmaker.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
The league average, it says, is one hundred and fifty
dollars a game. The Dallas Cowboys upped their feet at
five hundred per game starting in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That's still pathetic, it is. I'm sorry for the best.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
They're doing a lot of work outside just the game.
They and they all it's it's again you learn this
from the show. I'm not the expert. We do have
some knowledge in this but on the show, you just
see what they put their bodies through. The mental stars involved, Yeah,
the anguish involved, the fact that they all have full time,
regular jobs just to survive, but have to go to
(21:44):
this every day after work. The grind is incredible, yet
no one cares that they're paying nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Just think of just think of that and you could
end it there. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
How again, Danny brought up the economics, which is a
big part of it, WNBA, and you could certain people
where you argue they should make more well the company
they work for if it's not making rep money, I
get it. But the Cowboys in the NFL, we always
talk about how it's billions and billions of dollars and
such a part of the ambiance of a stadium or
part of the tradition are these beautiful, talented cheerleaders and
(22:16):
the fact that a nine billion dollar team like the Cowboys,
that's just one of many that are billion dollar teams organizations.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
And we have dancers or cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Again, some are more renown and prominent than other squads.
So imagine what these lower end dance teams make, which
is a cheer teams, which is perfectly goes along with
the theory I've had for years. Have you ever heard
one of the rules of cheerleaders is don't hook up
with players. That's always that's always a rule for every organization.
(22:54):
And I always say that is hilarious because if you
are a young woman and all of a sudden, I
don't know, remember Canil Costik was a cheerleader and Gronk
is crushing on you. If an NFL player is hitting
on you and you're a cheerleader, are you gonna go
for the rich, awesome dude or you get back? No,
I don't want to sacrifice my two hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Dollars a game.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, you can't even paint them out like they're some
thirsty girl. I'm just trying to get because those players
are trying to get with them. It goes both ways.
It's just wild to me. But yeah, hey, look look
at that something you and I agree on. Cheerleaders are
severely underpaid, severely underpaid considering. Like I said, they're looking
for the best of the best, but they're paying garbage
(23:36):
money for that.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I just heard from our promotions extraordinary Jade. She says,
no one does playboy for the money. It's all about
saying I'm in Playboy or I'm a cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Dude, that's very much the vibe that you get because
it's like, well, then why do they do it. They
do it for the clout and not necessarily the bragging, right,
but to say that they're the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader because
in their mind grow up, whether they cheerlead or they
danced or whatever, that's like beings Miss America to them.
You know, that's like being the top of the heat
(24:09):
as a dance Covino.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You could compare this to broadcasting and some TV stations too,
for interns, reporters. We know reporters out on the street.
They make chump change and like Street Team where you
started in New York, garbagee. Either they don't get paid
or they're barely getting paid as a paid intern or
just on a minimum salary or hourly. I should say
(24:31):
so it's the same thing because you could say, hey,
I work for the biggest rock station in New York.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I remember in the nineties and two thousands, when I
was in high school and college, you would know people
that interned or worked part time for MTV, and I
remember being like, Yo, how cool you work at MTV
Time Square, that big building we see trl all the
artists coming through, they were always like, yeah, I like
volunteer or get paid like the minimum wage. Because people
(24:57):
were just excited to say, I work at MTV paying
you in prestige, that's really yeah. But that prestige in
cloud should lead somewhere like if you're if you're a
cheerleader or you were, you know, that should lead to
like the cloud should be attached to money at some point.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Well, you know what, otherwise, what are you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Really bragging about, Like, yeah, I'm on TV, but I
live in a studio apartment. And by the way, you
dedicate your five years of your primo years to this organization.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
True, it's it's a wild thing.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's it's again America's Sweetheart on Netflix, the Dallas Countboy cheerleaders,
and it shows you what they go through the process
to get there, how good they have to be, and
how little they are paid. Again, as as our friend
Jade said, the payoff is the cloud.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Jay's right.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, Well, hey more Covino on Rich We'll talk
some NBA today a very special anniversary and it.
Speaker 2 (25:53):

some final thoughts about America's sweetheart, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's number one on Netflix right now. Absolutely, don't forget.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
We're gonna go old school and fifty hits in a
little bit and on our bonus pot today, Puka Nakua
is going to be hanging with us. So that's on
Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Perfect in about an hour
and a half. All right, so I'll see you there.
You were talking about this, and I agree with you
one hundred percent. Professional cheerleaders are severely underpaid. When you
(28:57):
think about the effort that they put into it, the practices,
the auditions, the ridicule just to have the cloud of
saying I'm an NFL cheerleader. There's a lot of that
goes instead of professionals.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Right. They made it to the bigs.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Of their gig of what they do, dance or cheer.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
They're in the pros now.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I'm not saying they should be making millions like the
players get out of here. That's not what I'm saying
at all, but they should be paid professional money. I
think that if you're a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, you should
make six figures. That's my instinct because you are among
the hottest, talented, fun women that are in that world.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You have to be a double triple threat to be
on that line.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I don't think some girl cheering for the Dallas Cowboys
should get a couple hundred bucks a game.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And I thought about it.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
A lot of the women that do entertain this world
of cheering and dancing and doing all that they're come
from such a competitive cath that I can think off
the top of my head, like women that we've had
on the show, or celebrity esque women that took pride
in being an NFL cheerleader if I'm right. Sarah Shahi actress, Yeah,
well she she danced, she cheered for the Cowboys. Mj
(30:07):
Acosta j NFL Network, Yeah, Bonnie Jill who Bonnie Jill
Laughlin who is in NBA Scout has championship rings. She's
done it all and broadcasting and scouting and everything. Stacey
Keebler Yes, Camille Caustic Gronk's girlfriend SI cover girl and
(30:28):
am I correct in saying the very funny comedian Angela Johnson.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yes, she was a raider girl. She was a raiders girl.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Angela Johnson, famous for the nel salon bit, has a
comedy special like So, I just think a lot of
those women do go on to do big things because
they're cut from such a competitive cloth. So maybe it's
a good launching pad. But still, if they're professionals in
what they do at the highest level, should they be
making Chick fil A money? I don't know about that,
(30:57):
And that's what we learn in this documentary again, how
hard it is to even get to that point. So
just something to check out when you're doning with the
debates tonight. Look, you might need that cleanse later on.
You might need a little break later on. A little
Trump Biden.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The America Sweethearts might be a good solution for you.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
You start watching some heavy stuff, you know what, I
started watching Danny g we'll go over this tomorrow weekend hobnobbing.
There's a couple of good like crime shows. Apple TV's
got the one with Jake Jollenhall, Innocence something about like
I assumed preview for that yet and Your Honor with
Brian Cranston season two is now on Netflix. So I'm
(31:37):
hearing good things about when you're watching, when you're watching
all this like heavy stuff, maybe a little fun Netflix
cheerleader show is what you need. Right, That's not bad,
not bad at all. Right, let's go to Dan Buyer
for an update. Dan, what is going on? My friend Nice?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
We are watching the second round, keeping our eye on
the second round of the NBA Draft, and Brownie James'
name is yet to be announced. This was an interesting tidbit.
It's put out there by Bob Myers, who's working as
an analyst during ESPN's current broadcast. He's the former GM
of the Golden State Warriors. This is what Myers had
to say about Bronnie James and his status and where
(32:12):
he's going right now.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Rich Paul's calling teams, don't take Ronnie James.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
He's telling him do not take him, Okay, saying don't
take him, you take him. He's going to Australia.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So he has a plan and he has a place.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
That's outside of the Lakers and the Suns. As a
part of that, telling the other twenty eight teams stay away.
Lakers on the clock at fifty five. We are at
pick forty eight right now of the second round.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You don't think any other organization would be petty enough
to do that, do you?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
I don't know if they would actually do but I
know I think a lot of teams would want to.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
As to the Lakers, Lebron, I saw Bill Simmons had
that theory that he goes. Would it be funny if
like the Celtics or someone just out of Spike because
it's not a talent heavy draft and if you don't
really need that guy, like.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
You know what, I'll change my answer. It may not
be as much to the Lakers because the Lakers would
be like, okay, cool. You know, maybe they don't want
to draft, but feel obligated to do it because of
Lebron and if somebody else did then they'd be off
the hook. So maybe it is just a bleep you
to Lebron if they But yeah, I think that if
a team had enough second round picks and it couldn't
hamper them and other deals, that they would definitely do it. Wow,
(33:21):
But hence that's the NBA, which can always turn petty
every now and then. So still waiting on Lebron James.
There is some other NBA news to report, Jamal Murray
and the Nuggets agreeing on a four year, two hundred
and nine million dollars MAX extension likely to be finalized,
but Nuggets guard Contavious Caldwell Pope, according to The Athletic,
(33:42):
will opt out of his contract to become a free agent.
And the Celtics announced that Christops Porzingis is going to
need about five to six months to recover from the
leg surgery after that injury suffered in the NBA Finals,
So porzingis likely to not play a game for Boston
until December or even January.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Speaking of the Celtics, standby, they have that pick right
before the Lakers. Yeah, before before Lakers got picked fifty five.
So what if what if we went back to the
old school rivalry and I was like, gotcha, Oh, that
would be great, that would be so wild. I'd be
really surprised if that happened. But hey, we've seen crazier things.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
If Bronnie James was at the ESPN studios, do you
think you'd take the cap and throw it in the
garbage if it was you know, give it to somebody else.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
We should do it for ratings, baby, ratings. Yes, that would
be wow, that would be want Thank you dB. See
Grimace chugging beers at City Field last.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Night during the rain the light I did I missed it.
I did not catch it.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Can I just quick tell you a couple of things
after yeah, just before Camino cut me off. Yeah, comes
Giants tied up at three in the seventh, Twins lead
the Diamondbacks thirteen to five, and the sixth White Sox
on top of the Braves one nothing in the sixth.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Now it's all you are I want to hear about
baseball because his Yankees just got swapping the mets of
this stink right now. Man, But Aaron Judge, back up
what we said at the beginning of the show. I
I do get a sense that remember in the early
two thousands, when Barry Bonds entered the batter's box, You're like, yo,
there's a very good chance something awesome is gonna happen
right now.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
The Mets are up so.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Big that I was even saying, like, hit a bomb,
let's see it, and then boom. Just the exit velocity
of that big Goons batch just seems like, you know what,
it's like Herman Munster's stepping up to play, and every
time he connects, it's just a bomb.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean, I'll make a real analogy. If you're a
grown man that played.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
High school sports, college sports, watching Aaron Judge had a
home run out of a big league park would be
like if I said, come in out here, take this
bat and.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Play in a little league field. It just feels like
if he connects, it's just a It's really crazy to watch, dude.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
His pace is well, he's on the same pace as
his sixty two home run season in two thousand and.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
But the other stat he was ahead of that. But
every other stat he's just slaying it.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
All right, all right, you know, Mark and Tucson, you
got thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
We got to move on. But you wanted to talk
about cheerleaders. What's up? Mark?
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Hey, guys, I just was listening to you about the
cheerleader pay and I can't argue with any of the
points you're making in terms of talent for money. But
you know, let's not forget about the free market right there.
There's a reason there's five hundred girls trying out for
thirty spots or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
It goes back to our pet Jades point, which is
women want to do it for the cloud. I'm a
Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Sounds awesome, right.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
No, that's it. Yeah, and they hold that over their head.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Thank you man, Well, thank you Mark, and thank you

Such a good song, Thank you, Iowa Samuel.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Danny g Looking Slim and trim Danny g Yeah, he's
on the phone super producing at eighty seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. I know. One final thought about NFL
cheerleaders NBA dancers. By the way, I used to date
New Jersey Nets power and motion dancer for years, for years,
and I knew, like, man, you're doing this at a
professional level and I'm getting paid more than you doing
(38:24):
part time radio nonsense. But they were very particular on
we're dancers, not cheerleaders. Oh, that was a big thing.
I appreciate you saying that, just to let the world
know you dated an NBA dancer. Finish the story, had
that relationship end, she ended up leaving me for a
guy on the Nets.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
True story. I was devastating, right, just dude, I was devastated.
I really was. I was blind sided. I was against
the rules. I'm believing you for a guy on the team.
I thought you weren't allowed to do that. Yeah, I
believe me.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
It wasn't a brag, that's funny, it was it was
They would be highly a when you said they were
cheerleaders when they were dance Oh yeah, they women get
offended by that. And by the way, before we do
fifty hits, I just want to say one last thing
I was saying brought up a great point to wrap
it up. All these women that are elite dancers and
not how to move. Their quickest way to money is
(39:16):
the worst way, which is like be a stripper. It's
like when they're trying to do it like legit and
just they're paid. They paid one hundred dollars, yeah, you know,
and going Vegas for the weekend, his favorite rhino.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
You get five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Mike who runs this place, was pretty disappointed that we
didn't bring Mike who runs this place. Paul Abdul one
of the most famous in the NBA, and when we
watched Winning Time, it seemed like they gave her a
lot more credit for she was way more involved. She
wasn't just the dancing the evolution of the NBA dancer.
Paul Abduel and Jerry West got a lot of credit right.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
With Yeah, which she became the choreographer of the team.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But the point is based on the Dallas Cowboys Donkey
series on Netflix. They're severely severely overworked and underpaid.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Let's do it. When fifty hit, do we do it?
Every Thursday? There's a surgeon. What we're gonna do is
go back.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday, Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, every Thursday, Every Thursday we go old School when
fifty hits on the clock, when fifty hits in life,
even though fifty is the new forty or thirty five
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Shout out to Derek Chitta today.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, Derek Jeter turned fifty this week, so old school
and fifty hits. Today we discuss the Old School og Atari.
And I bring that up because today is the day.
On this day was the unveiling the creation of the
video game console Atari. Now, I had the Atari twenty
(41:01):
six hundred when it came out.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
I was an eighties kid.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I was a spoiled eighties kid, and I remember being
so excited. The first game I played was I think
combat Zone, combat Zone, but it did come with combat.
I remember it came with combat, and I remember grabbing
the joystick and my Dad's like, hey, would you say,
I said, my joy stick is yeah, I know what
(41:24):
they're trying to say with the joy stick.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
What do you mean that you're playing You're playing what
was it?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Pitfall Harry, Pitfall Burn. Now, all those games captivated us
in the eighties, but the question today based on the
anniversary of Atar, the original Atari. What year Rich nineteen
seventy two, nineteen seventy the original Atari. Yeah, this is
when it essentially was like created. Yeah, like we asked
(41:54):
you this. Of all those old school crappy games, especially Atari,
which ones are still fun to play? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Which ones are playable the Analogjesus.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
There's a lot of great movies we grew up with,
but only a few stand the test of time. The
classics stand the test of time. Are there video games
that we grew up with that kids today would still
find enjoyable?
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Well, let it be known. Everyone has their first gaming console.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
You said Atari. I never owned the Atari. I have
no clue of these games you speak of. My first
video game console. I was a little boy and I
got Nintendo Anies with Mario and Duck Hunt on the
same game. And so I'm a Nintendo say game. But
you didn't call it Mario. You call it Mario. You're
from the East Coast, sober Mario Super Mario Golf but
(42:39):
there are games that stand the test of time. Like
you said, movies and uh, we'll take your feedback next.
What old school video games could still be played today
with enjoyment

Fox Sports Radios YouTube page, because we can't fit all
that fun and the visuals here on Fox Sports Radio.
So I'm Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis. We have
lots to get to today. When do I want to
catch in my two venti coffees that you owe me
(01:41):
for a two game sweep Mets Yankees whenever you want,
and you deserve it because the Yankees stink to the
high heavens right now, please discuss either that or you
caught a hot Mets team while the Yankees, who are
better than the Mets, we caught your team, called you
caught our team. That's exactly what happened. But I'm telling you,
I knew the chemistry would be jeopardized when DJ Lemayhew,
(02:03):
who I love. I know he has a great history
batting champion in both leagues. I know what he's capable of,
but he's never been the same since he's been hurt,
and I knew it would mess with the chemistry and
it has, and I just hope they find their way again.
But hey, the Mets dominated the Yankees, and the silver
lining here is Aaron Judge is a beast. It on
(02:26):
Danny the way you watch Otani every day on the
Dodgers and you're in awe of this. Dude, I don't
watch the Yankees obviously the way Cavino does.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm a Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Any ball that's pitched in the vicinity, you have this
feeling that Aaron Judge could just yank it out like
line drive into the left field bleachers, exit velocity, not
even getting all of the ball, just like they contact,
it's gone. Because he's so strong. Thirty home runs in
eighty games. He's on a sixty home run pace, so
(02:58):
props to him the same as two actually, so again,
let's get into it. We'll talk hero moments today. Hero
Moments is a story about a ball boy that man, Wow,
he's a hero.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Speaking of Otani, he saved his life. Yes, yes, you're
gonna get to that. Heroes Us every Thursday, we throw
it back. We reminisce old school and fifty hits on
the clock. Let's just say it involves some old school
video games. But there's a little twist, so stick around
for that. And first and first, mostly got to talk
about the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now before we get to the NBA draft, And something
you watched last night that ties into sports.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
A part of sports that I love cheerleaders, Oh America, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well we'll get to that. But I saw a story
that's right up your alley. Because you're a conspiracy weirdo
at times.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, me, way to paint a great picture of your boy,
you know, can you done the guy?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But working with twenty years weirdo? I saw an article
out of the New York Post that is right up
your alley. It said aliens might be living among us
disguised as humans.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And why is that so crazy to think?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You see some of the weirdos that work here at
Fox Sports, Oh, Mike runs his place. I see some
guys talking to themselves, who like, what was that guy doing?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
How do you get a job?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
There is someone here that does talk to them most
didn't you see the classic movie Men in Black?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They're among us?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That movie, Everything about that movie, it all came true.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I'm just saying, imagine it. That's Hollywood's way of preparing
you for the truth. Imagine if everyone that's an elite
level we end up finding out it's because they're an alien.
What if we found out Otani, Aaron Judge, Taylor Swift, uh,
you name it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, these silly humans think I'm real, them.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Thinking Otani unzips his face at night. Yeah, we did
it again. What if like mahomes unzips his face Like, oh,
it makes sense now, Aaron Judge Alien, all these guys aliens,
Elon Musk Alien.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'll forward you that article for later because I just
saw that. I'm like, oh, could you love this?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Sam Cassell Alien.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've always thought that Willie McGee.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Sam Cassell Alien for sure. So anyway, thank you guys,
Thank you Rich You're right. I did watch a cheerleading
documentary that I will get to. But I did tune
into the NBA draft first. Yeah, you know, which is
going on as we speak. Not a draft that will
go down in the history books as like whoa excitement, unless,
(05:28):
of course, some of these guys just turn out to
be bigger than we think. But you heard the narrative
last night, which was a lot of these guys could
be role players, bench players. I don't think anyone's changing
their franchise with the first round last night. That was
the that was the thought I got. But Danny g
your Lakers got the shooter you wanted.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, man, that he was a steal connect. He was
you know, a lot like Steven A.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Woods.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
He was a guy that a lot of people thought
would go in the top. A lot of people had
them ranked like eighth, ninth. And so when the Griz
took Edie off the board, who some people had as
the you know, proported player that maybe the Lakers would
consider at seventeen, all of a sudden, Tennessee Shooter is
their sec scoring leader is there on the board. And
(06:17):
you know, Polenka was salivating.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh yeah, And you know what the observations I made were.
You know, my feelings on draft projections and predictions, they're
all horse manure.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
No one knows until they play.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But no, it's that stuff I use in the shower
rich oh hogwash, Yeah, that stuff it is.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But the narrative today is.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Edie perhaps a little too early, and your boy connect.
You guys got a shooter, As stephen A said, JJ Reddick.
The Lakers are sick of Laham bricks, lebron and Ad
kicking it out to guys that are just missing, miss
and missing. So maybe you have the sharp shooter you
need to fit right into your Lakers. But those are
(07:01):
big takeaways. And then the obvious is it was just
good background TV last night.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It was the com before tonight's Storm of the Debates,
and it was just good background. Now the way, leave
that juicy, nothing that interesting, and people are still waiting
to see what.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Happens to Bronnie. That's the real story.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I feel like I'm putting the wrong emphasis, but I
know I'm not Zacharay your number one pick. It's interesting
also because we've talked about over the last decades how
global the game has become, and you know, another Frenchman
taking number one. Couple French players. In fact, I was
(07:39):
saying to Danny g before the show, and I don't know. Again,
I'm not Doug Gottlieb. I'm not your superstar basketball analyst.
I bring fun, I don't bring the UH. I don't
bring that level of insight. But how do you compare
a guy that played in France against the guy that
played at like Yukon or Kentucky. Like to me, it's
(08:00):
like you're it's any international player. They get extra credit
because they're beyond their years because they play with men
at a professional level early in their life, so they're
sort of prepared in a different way. And that's what
we're seeing with these younger foreign players, you know, like
like men. They're not playing like boys because they've played
with men already a lot of times. The criticism in
(08:22):
the NFL is it's hard to assess a quarterback that
didn't play in a big conference because well, who did
they play against? It is a little interesting when you're like, hey,
this guy played in France, this guy played here, this
guy played in Division one hoops for Duke, Like, how
do you even if they've never played against the same
people in the same league.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Isn't it as risky as any draft pick?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Yeah, I think it's completely risky. And the thing that
was not surprising, but still it jars my ears. Actually
the analysis of Dalton connect one of the reasons that
he fell too old, So it's almost the less you know, right,
the better the possibility of that lottery ticket being the
(09:03):
Mega Millions winner. You're drafting a lot on potential until
you see some of these French guys.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He's twenty four, connects twenty four. They made it tell
like he was seventy four.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, right, truly, like it was like that was
something that was against him. But he plays in rock
ports because you want the guy with the possibility of
being that All Star, you want that lottery ticket.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And that's what the NBA draft has become.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, the NBA draft needs to be all guys wearing
high socks because if you're rocking ankle socks too, all yeah,
you gotta have that high sock energy, not low sock energy.
You gotta be a younger fella. But some of these
foreign players are just far more mature. They play more
of a mature game than today's American That's been the
observation in the past few years.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
In Rich He's not even that at least twenty three.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, you know what, they made it seem like the
dude needed to do. Jesser Menez, Yeah, when's his birthday.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Let's see April nineteen, okay, so he just turned yeah,
just turned twenty. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
If you ask somebody how old they are, and they'll
tell you how old they will be, not how old
they actually are.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, as you get older, you go the opposite wall.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Twenty four in April. I like that.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
No, so you're twenty three? dB I do that too sometimes, Yeah,
all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I don't know why he does it, because you had
like me, every time I talk hi about my age.
As the years pass, I just keep saying forty ish,
I go the other way. I don't you know, we
don't attack it on the years. We interviewed a comedian
named rod Man. Remember Rodman a while back, Not Dennis Rodman,
a guy named rod Man. And I was like, yo, man,
how old are you? He goes, what I'm grown? I'm like, no,
(10:37):
but how old are?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He goes.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I don't tell people how old am because then you're
trying to judge me. I just tell them I'm grown.
So what's your question? So you do get to a
point where you just say I'm grown grown, I'm grown,
grown grown now. I guess all eyes today and of
course Donald Trump a man Joe Biden tonight. But besides
(10:59):
the debate, what I thought you were gonna say? Though,
Rich and I give you a credit for dancing around it.
I thought for sure you were gonna give the lazy opinion,
which is true, because I was feeling it that it
was kind of boring. The draft was boring. I'm surprised
you didn't say that, well, but I thought it was.
I just you know what it is. I praise you
all for focusing on the positives, but I got a
(11:19):
boring vibe out of it. Could have been my mood.
I did go to the gym, I was on the treadmill.
Maybe it was just me, but that's the vibe I guy.
My wife's observation was and again it's not like we're
old timers, but she's like, some of these guys look
like little kids.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They really do.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I like that they showed some emotion that it meant
something to these guys. I saw them fighting back, some emotions,
some tears. That was kind of cool. Did you see
how ab was live tating?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, he got hot water.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, basically said.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Dropping some old school gay slang that is not appreciated
in the twenty twenty four society. Yeah, Antonio' brown somehow
made the headlines last night.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
And besides that, I on Twitter some comments of people
saying this is the first NBA draft class where I
feel like I could beat some of them up.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
My wife is from the San Antonio area in New Brumfles, Texas,
and the Spurs chose Stefan Castle from Yukon.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
My wife's like, how old is he looks like he's sixteen.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He had his you know, he had his cool dreads
under his hat, glasses on.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She's like, he looks like a high school kid.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm like, not far off, you know, greg Odin, Yeah,
that's not true, because high school kids, ok at it
look like alpaca boys, That is true.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Broccoli heads.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Alex Sar, the second overall pick, was brought to tears.
But that's because he found out he had to play
for the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And did he say? Is that a real team? Then
he said, I'm France, is that a real team?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You make me disappear?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So hey, what'd you say, Jenner? Al pakahead, al pakahead,
al packa boys.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yes, that's twenty five thousand dollars alpa Do you.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know every high school kid has that broccoli head.
He looked like a bunch of alpacas walking around. I
told my daughter because she goes into high school next year.
I'm like, dad's got a few rules. One of them
no outpack of boys. Okay, no kids older.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
That's the look.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
She's not gonna date anyone good, even better. Uh So
last night NBA Draft, we're avoiding the word boring because
I go by the mindset if you say something's boring,
that just means you're boring. No, but I thought for
sure that's what you were gonna say, and you didn't,
so I wanted to point that out. I just with
the influx of international players, I think the takeaways are
(13:30):
it's probably even trickier than ever for these front offices
to make the right pick because it's like, again, nineteen
year old kid from France that's been playing with men
versus some dude that's been playing in Cincinnati or Yukat
or Syracuse. So he said, at that point, you're just
going on potential. Yeah, that's it, and uh.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
We come from France.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I think we're about to hit the stage where I
think free agency will be way more exciting than the draft.
But I guess the big story today Danny g is
is Bronnie gonna get picked or the Lakers just gonna
pick him up as an unsigned free agent, and that's
gonna be the path.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
So a little bit of buzz about the Spurs and
what they're doing looking way towards the future, like collecting
picks for twenty thirty, twenty thirty one. All of us
we don't know what we're doing next week, and they're
planning way ahead.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Spurs.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Hey, you know what, You're right. The Spurs are building something.
Unfortunately probably won't be with coach Pop because that he's
getting up there. I don't think he'll be around in
ten years still coaching. But Spurs rebuilding in a pretty
sweet way. So, hey, thoughts on the NBA draft last night?
Let us know at Covino and Rich and if we
hear anything about Bronnie or any other updates, you'll get
(14:37):
him here on Fox Sports Radio Dan b Dan Pyers,
NBA Dan Bate and b He's on the case. And
while I was watching the draft, there came a point
Rich where I was like, you know what, I'm all
draft it out right now.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Let me see what's doing on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh well, it's not like you were going to turn
to the Mets Yankees game. Oh, trending number one. And
I heard some juice things about it, and my girlfriend
agreed to watch. And that's always a struggle in itself,
you know, getting them to agree. Are you agreeing on something?
So I'm like, I'll watch that some beautiful women sounds
good to me, and she wanted to watch it. There's
(15:16):
a new show trending number one called America's Sweetheart the
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. It's been a few seasons, right, this
is on Netflix right now.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Netflix has it now. Another network used to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Right, okay, But the story is like you'd be surprised
to see how much drama these girls go through. That's
sort of the juice and the vibe of it, right,
Like it's brutal because here's what guys don't factor in
a lot of times.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
If you played sports, a lot of it was just based.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
On your athletic ability, right, your hustle, your grind, how
tough you were, did you have a skill? We were
never judged in this esthetic.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Way that women are. And it is brutal.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You know, you're seeing them judge behind the scenes, like,
I don't know, her face is a little fat, I
don't know. No one's ever judged, No one's ever judged
your cankles or thighs exactly And it's like, wow, man,
and we know this, but when you hear it, it's
a different story. I told you that the first time
when when I, uh, you know, I coach the kids sports.
(16:23):
When you get those parents with no kids in the room,
I was shocked at how they talked about the kids. Yeah,
that's what you get on the shot. You're like, man,
there's the seven women put themselves in a position to
be unfortunately criticized in the most brutal of ways. It's
not about necessarily their dancing ability all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's about what they look like.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
And I get it. I'm not playing naive. That's part
of the gig, right. You can't love like a like
a slough dancing for the or cheering for the cowboys
and all of.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
That so they can make a couple hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Per That's where we were going with this. Okay, I'm Danny.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Now, I'm not saying it's the same thing. I have
to make that very clear, and it's a bit of
a stretch. But we all talk about how the WNBA
players aren't making enough. Right, they should be getting paid
with the men get paid. But when you hear what
(17:24):
these women make, and we've known this because we've faited
a few of them dancers, or interviewed them and had
them on the show, when you hear them talk about this,
it's almost like, Wow, that's a little pathetic because they're
not just pretty girls. These are the most talented girls
who've been through this grind, who are reaching and striving
(17:47):
for this goal, who've given up everything to do this
on a professional I guess you would say highest level.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
They're not just girls who could do choreography.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
These are trained expert dancers, experts in their field, the
best of the best, who looked the best. If you're
a girl that could dance and cheer and move, unless
you're you know, in New York City, in New York
City doing ballet or on Broadway or a strip club,
like there's only so many pets a dancer could go, right, No,
these girls are.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Elite the ballet ballroom.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, but it's it's ridiculous to I agree with you
one hundred sem believe or not. When you see the
Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, I was saying, just to google Google
e this for me for as I could get the
Google machine going google the net worth of the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, fair,
but you know they're worth I don't know, tops in
the NFL nine billion.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
So when you're talking about Forbes, the women were being interviewed, right,
they're sitting there and she's saying she makes about as
much as a Chick fil a worker and probably not
meaning they make more. They make about thirty thousand dollars
a year. And look, I get it. They sign up
for this and it's like a prestigious thing. But aren't
(18:58):
they the top notch echalon of what a cheerleader or
dancer is supposed to be. They all have full time jobs,
they're nurses, their professionals, and then they have to do
this later on and get paid penut. It seems like
a weak ass side hustle for the visibility. Like if
you're a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, I would think it's more
(19:19):
than a few, like one hundred bucks a game or
an appearance. Here, it's all for the clout, it's all
for the bragging right of saying you're a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
Because they're not getting paid anything. And my point here
and again it's a stretch, But I don't think it's
for everybody to be so up in arms about what
the WNBA makes. How come no one gives a dittaly
(19:39):
squad about what these girls make. They make nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We have pointed it out on our show before. The
WNBA is still going to be in debt even with
all the popularity this season.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I know.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
So it's simple mathematics when you're talking about the revenue
and the TV contracts and why the WNBA players aren't
earning more. But when it comes to the NFL billions
and billions of dollars, So come on, man, give them
more money and the.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Easy The whole premise of the show is look at
what these girls go through. That's the thing. The reason
these are the chosen girls and this is what they
do is because other girls they're not as qualified, they
don't look as good unfortunately, and they're.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Not willing to do what they're doing. You know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I listen, I have not been addressed yet. I want
to how are they still making a few hundred dollars
per game? But Sam, it's not even just and you
just said they're worth nine billion dollars. This is the
Dallas Cowboys. What do you think other professional dancers are
making in the NBA, The Lakers girls, the Nick City dancers,
they're making chump change.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
To be the best at what they do.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And again, it's weird how we care about certain things
and not about other things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think they add a lot to a game as
a fan, they really do. Can I add one more thing?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's almost like someone I think a couple of magazines
have done this over the years, Like how much a
mom would be paid for all the work that she
does for her kids. It's like one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars a year. Yeah, like changing diapers, making meals, bathtime,
vacuuming everything that's to do with being like a house housewife, soilmmaker.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
The league average, it says, is one hundred and fifty
dollars a game. The Dallas Cowboys upped their feet at
five hundred per game starting in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That's still pathetic, it is. I'm sorry for the best.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
They're doing a lot of work outside just the game.
They and they all it's it's again you learn this
from the show. I'm not the expert. We do have
some knowledge in this but on the show, you just
see what they put their bodies through. The mental stars involved, Yeah,
the anguish involved, the fact that they all have full time,
regular jobs just to survive, but have to go to
(21:44):
this every day after work. The grind is incredible, yet
no one cares that they're paying nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Just think of just think of that and you could
end it there. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
How again, Danny brought up the economics, which is a
big part of it, WNBA, and you could certain people
where you argue they should make more well the company
they work for if it's not making rep money, I
get it. But the Cowboys in the NFL, we always
talk about how it's billions and billions of dollars and
such a part of the ambiance of a stadium or
part of the tradition are these beautiful, talented cheerleaders and
(22:16):
the fact that a nine billion dollar team like the Cowboys,
that's just one of many that are billion dollar teams organizations.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
And we have dancers or cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Again, some are more renown and prominent than other squads.
So imagine what these lower end dance teams make, which
is a cheer teams, which is perfectly goes along with
the theory I've had for years. Have you ever heard
one of the rules of cheerleaders is don't hook up
with players. That's always that's always a rule for every organization.
(22:54):
And I always say that is hilarious because if you
are a young woman and all of a sudden, I
don't know, remember Canil Costik was a cheerleader and Gronk
is crushing on you. If an NFL player is hitting
on you and you're a cheerleader, are you gonna go
for the rich, awesome dude or you get back? No,
I don't want to sacrifice my two hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Dollars a game.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, you can't even paint them out like they're some
thirsty girl. I'm just trying to get because those players
are trying to get with them. It goes both ways.
It's just wild to me. But yeah, hey, look look
at that something you and I agree on. Cheerleaders are
severely underpaid, severely underpaid considering. Like I said, they're looking
for the best of the best, but they're paying garbage
(23:36):
money for that.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I just heard from our promotions extraordinary Jade. She says,
no one does playboy for the money. It's all about
saying I'm in Playboy or I'm a cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Dude, that's very much the vibe that you get because
it's like, well, then why do they do it. They
do it for the clout and not necessarily the bragging, right,
but to say that they're the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader because
in their mind grow up, whether they cheerlead or they
danced or whatever, that's like beings Miss America to them.
You know, that's like being the top of the heat
(24:09):
as a dance Covino.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You could compare this to broadcasting and some TV stations too,
for interns, reporters. We know reporters out on the street.
They make chump change and like Street Team where you
started in New York, garbagee. Either they don't get paid
or they're barely getting paid as a paid intern or
just on a minimum salary or hourly. I should say
(24:31):
so it's the same thing because you could say, hey,
I work for the biggest rock station in New York.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I remember in the nineties and two thousands, when I
was in high school and college, you would know people
that interned or worked part time for MTV, and I
remember being like, Yo, how cool you work at MTV
Time Square, that big building we see trl all the
artists coming through, they were always like, yeah, I like
volunteer or get paid like the minimum wage. Because people
(24:57):
were just excited to say, I work at MTV paying
you in prestige, that's really yeah. But that prestige in
cloud should lead somewhere like if you're if you're a
cheerleader or you were, you know, that should lead to
like the cloud should be attached to money at some point.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Well, you know what, otherwise, what are you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Really bragging about, Like, yeah, I'm on TV, but I
live in a studio apartment. And by the way, you
dedicate your five years of your primo years to this organization.
Speaker 2 (25:25):

That's expresspros dot com. And Rich, I know you have
some final thoughts about America's sweetheart, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's number one on Netflix right now. Absolutely, don't forget.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
We're gonna go old school and fifty hits in a
little bit and on our bonus pot today, Puka Nakua
is going to be hanging with us. So that's on
Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Perfect in about an hour
and a half. All right, so I'll see you there.
You were talking about this, and I agree with you
one hundred percent. Professional cheerleaders are severely underpaid. When you
(28:57):
think about the effort that they put into it, the practices,
the auditions, the ridicule just to have the cloud of
saying I'm an NFL cheerleader. There's a lot of that
goes instead of professionals.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Right. They made it to the bigs.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Of their gig of what they do, dance or cheer.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
They're in the pros now.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I'm not saying they should be making millions like the
players get out of here. That's not what I'm saying
at all, but they should be paid professional money. I
think that if you're a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, you should
make six figures. That's my instinct because you are among
the hottest, talented, fun women that are in that world.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You have to be a double triple threat to be
on that line.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I don't think some girl cheering for the Dallas Cowboys
should get a couple hundred bucks a game.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And I thought about it.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
A lot of the women that do entertain this world
of cheering and dancing and doing all that they're come
from such a competitive cath that I can think off
the top of my head, like women that we've had
on the show, or celebrity esque women that took pride
in being an NFL cheerleader if I'm right. Sarah Shahi actress, Yeah,
well she she danced, she cheered for the Cowboys. Mj
(30:07):
Acosta j NFL Network, Yeah, Bonnie Jill who Bonnie Jill
Laughlin who is in NBA Scout has championship rings. She's
done it all and broadcasting and scouting and everything. Stacey
Keebler Yes, Camille Caustic Gronk's girlfriend SI cover girl and
(30:28):
am I correct in saying the very funny comedian Angela Johnson.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yes, she was a raider girl. She was a raiders girl.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Angela Johnson, famous for the nel salon bit, has a
comedy special like So, I just think a lot of
those women do go on to do big things because
they're cut from such a competitive cloth. So maybe it's
a good launching pad. But still, if they're professionals in
what they do at the highest level, should they be
making Chick fil A money? I don't know about that,
(30:57):
And that's what we learn in this documentary again, how
hard it is to even get to that point. So
just something to check out when you're doning with the
debates tonight. Look, you might need that cleanse later on.
You might need a little break later on. A little
Trump Biden.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The America Sweethearts might be a good solution for you.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
You start watching some heavy stuff, you know what, I
started watching Danny g we'll go over this tomorrow weekend hobnobbing.
There's a couple of good like crime shows. Apple TV's
got the one with Jake Jollenhall, Innocence something about like
I assumed preview for that yet and Your Honor with
Brian Cranston season two is now on Netflix. So I'm
(31:37):
hearing good things about when you're watching, when you're watching
all this like heavy stuff, maybe a little fun Netflix
cheerleader show is what you need. Right, That's not bad,
not bad at all. Right, let's go to Dan Buyer
for an update. Dan, what is going on? My friend Nice?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
We are watching the second round, keeping our eye on
the second round of the NBA Draft, and Brownie James'
name is yet to be announced. This was an interesting tidbit.
It's put out there by Bob Myers, who's working as
an analyst during ESPN's current broadcast. He's the former GM
of the Golden State Warriors. This is what Myers had
to say about Bronnie James and his status and where
(32:12):
he's going right now.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Rich Paul's calling teams, don't take Ronnie James.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
He's telling him do not take him, Okay, saying don't
take him, you take him. He's going to Australia.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So he has a plan and he has a place.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
That's outside of the Lakers and the Suns. As a
part of that, telling the other twenty eight teams stay away.
Lakers on the clock at fifty five. We are at
pick forty eight right now of the second round.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You don't think any other organization would be petty enough
to do that, do you?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
I don't know if they would actually do but I
know I think a lot of teams would want to.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
As to the Lakers, Lebron, I saw Bill Simmons had
that theory that he goes. Would it be funny if
like the Celtics or someone just out of Spike because
it's not a talent heavy draft and if you don't
really need that guy, like.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
You know what, I'll change my answer. It may not
be as much to the Lakers because the Lakers would
be like, okay, cool. You know, maybe they don't want
to draft, but feel obligated to do it because of
Lebron and if somebody else did then they'd be off
the hook. So maybe it is just a bleep you
to Lebron if they But yeah, I think that if
a team had enough second round picks and it couldn't
hamper them and other deals, that they would definitely do it. Wow,
(33:21):
But hence that's the NBA, which can always turn petty
every now and then. So still waiting on Lebron James.
There is some other NBA news to report, Jamal Murray
and the Nuggets agreeing on a four year, two hundred
and nine million dollars MAX extension likely to be finalized,
but Nuggets guard Contavious Caldwell Pope, according to The Athletic,
(33:42):
will opt out of his contract to become a free agent.
And the Celtics announced that Christops Porzingis is going to
need about five to six months to recover from the
leg surgery after that injury suffered in the NBA Finals,
So porzingis likely to not play a game for Boston
until December or even January.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Speaking of the Celtics, standby, they have that pick right
before the Lakers. Yeah, before before Lakers got picked fifty five.
So what if what if we went back to the
old school rivalry and I was like, gotcha, Oh, that
would be great, that would be so wild. I'd be
really surprised if that happened. But hey, we've seen crazier things.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
If Bronnie James was at the ESPN studios, do you
think you'd take the cap and throw it in the
garbage if it was you know, give it to somebody else.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
We should do it for ratings, baby, ratings. Yes, that would
be wow, that would be want Thank you dB. See
Grimace chugging beers at City Field last.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Night during the rain the light I did I missed it.
I did not catch it.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Can I just quick tell you a couple of things
after yeah, just before Camino cut me off. Yeah, comes
Giants tied up at three in the seventh, Twins lead
the Diamondbacks thirteen to five, and the sixth White Sox
on top of the Braves one nothing in the sixth.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Now it's all you are I want to hear about
baseball because his Yankees just got swapping the mets of
this stink right now. Man, But Aaron Judge, back up
what we said at the beginning of the show. I
I do get a sense that remember in the early
two thousands, when Barry Bonds entered the batter's box, You're like, yo,
there's a very good chance something awesome is gonna happen
right now.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
The Mets are up so.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Big that I was even saying, like, hit a bomb,
let's see it, and then boom. Just the exit velocity
of that big Goons batch just seems like, you know what,
it's like Herman Munster's stepping up to play, and every
time he connects, it's just a bomb.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean, I'll make a real analogy. If you're a
grown man that played.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
High school sports, college sports, watching Aaron Judge had a
home run out of a big league park would be
like if I said, come in out here, take this
bat and.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Play in a little league field. It just feels like
if he connects, it's just a It's really crazy to watch, dude.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
His pace is well, he's on the same pace as
his sixty two home run season in two thousand and.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
But the other stat he was ahead of that. But
every other stat he's just slaying it.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
All right, all right, you know, Mark and Tucson, you
got thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
We got to move on. But you wanted to talk
about cheerleaders. What's up? Mark?
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Hey, guys, I just was listening to you about the
cheerleader pay and I can't argue with any of the
points you're making in terms of talent for money. But
you know, let's not forget about the free market right there.
There's a reason there's five hundred girls trying out for
thirty spots or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
It goes back to our pet Jades point, which is
women want to do it for the cloud. I'm a
Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Sounds awesome, right.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
No, that's it. Yeah, and they hold that over their head.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Thank you man, Well, thank you Mark, and thank you

Such a good song, Thank you, Iowa Samuel.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Danny g Looking Slim and trim Danny g Yeah, he's
on the phone super producing at eighty seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. I know. One final thought about NFL
cheerleaders NBA dancers. By the way, I used to date
New Jersey Nets power and motion dancer for years, for years,
and I knew, like, man, you're doing this at a
professional level and I'm getting paid more than you doing
(38:24):
part time radio nonsense. But they were very particular on
we're dancers, not cheerleaders. Oh, that was a big thing.
I appreciate you saying that, just to let the world
know you dated an NBA dancer. Finish the story, had
that relationship end, she ended up leaving me for a
guy on the Nets.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
True story. I was devastating, right, just dude, I was devastated.
I really was. I was blind sided. I was against
the rules. I'm believing you for a guy on the team.
I thought you weren't allowed to do that. Yeah, I
believe me.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
It wasn't a brag, that's funny, it was it was
They would be highly a when you said they were
cheerleaders when they were dance Oh yeah, they women get
offended by that. And by the way, before we do
fifty hits, I just want to say one last thing
I was saying brought up a great point to wrap
it up. All these women that are elite dancers and
not how to move. Their quickest way to money is
(39:16):
the worst way, which is like be a stripper. It's
like when they're trying to do it like legit and
just they're paid. They paid one hundred dollars, yeah, you know,
and going Vegas for the weekend, his favorite rhino.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
You get five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Mike who runs this place, was pretty disappointed that we
didn't bring Mike who runs this place. Paul Abdul one
of the most famous in the NBA, and when we
watched Winning Time, it seemed like they gave her a
lot more credit for she was way more involved. She
wasn't just the dancing the evolution of the NBA dancer.
Paul Abduel and Jerry West got a lot of credit right.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
With Yeah, which she became the choreographer of the team.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But the point is based on the Dallas Cowboys Donkey
series on Netflix. They're severely severely overworked and underpaid.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Let's do it. When fifty hit, do we do it?
Every Thursday? There's a surgeon. What we're gonna do is
go back.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday, Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, every Thursday, Every Thursday we go old School when
fifty hits on the clock, when fifty hits in life,
even though fifty is the new forty or thirty five
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Shout out to Derek Chitta today.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, Derek Jeter turned fifty this week, so old school
and fifty hits. Today we discuss the Old School og Atari.
And I bring that up because today is the day.
On this day was the unveiling the creation of the
video game console Atari. Now, I had the Atari twenty
(41:01):
six hundred when it came out.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
I was an eighties kid.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I was a spoiled eighties kid, and I remember being
so excited. The first game I played was I think
combat Zone, combat Zone, but it did come with combat.
I remember it came with combat, and I remember grabbing
the joystick and my Dad's like, hey, would you say,
I said, my joy stick is yeah, I know what
(41:24):
they're trying to say with the joy stick.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
What do you mean that you're playing You're playing what
was it?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Pitfall Harry, Pitfall Burn. Now, all those games captivated us
in the eighties, but the question today based on the
anniversary of Atar, the original Atari. What year Rich nineteen
seventy two, nineteen seventy the original Atari. Yeah, this is
when it essentially was like created. Yeah, like we asked
(41:54):
you this. Of all those old school crappy games, especially Atari,
which ones are still fun to play? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Which ones are playable the Analogjesus.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
There's a lot of great movies we grew up with,
but only a few stand the test of time. The
classics stand the test of time. Are there video games
that we grew up with that kids today would still
find enjoyable?
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Well, let it be known. Everyone has their first gaming console.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
You said Atari. I never owned the Atari. I have
no clue of these games you speak of. My first
video game console. I was a little boy and I
got Nintendo Anies with Mario and Duck Hunt on the
same game. And so I'm a Nintendo say game. But
you didn't call it Mario. You call it Mario. You're
from the East Coast, sober Mario Super Mario Golf but
(42:39):
there are games that stand the test of time. Like
you said, movies and uh, we'll take your feedback next.
What old school video games could still be played today
with enjoyment
