(01:01):
get to. Today, We're gonna talk NBA, NFL baseball. We're
gonna talk about gym class because it's an anniversary of something. Uh,
maybe even bobbleheads will enter the conversation on CNR today
the number eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox.
If you want to chime in at any point now,
I gotta start out by saying, this grimmest thing is real.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's happening. The grimmest thing is real.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Spot.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I mean, yes, it's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Now, it's happening, Danny jan It's it's you know, it's funny.
We talked about it yesterday and I was like, I
just want to touch on it real quick, because all
it takes is a fan base to get excited about
something stupid. And that was the point yesterday. Grimace thrown
out the first pitch just so happens to line up
with the Mets winning now six in a row, nine
(01:56):
of their last twelve, or actually nine of their last eleven,
and the Mets are right there a game out of
the wild Card. And I wanted to bring it up
today for a second because even Brandon Nimo, who had
a big game yesterday for the Mets, referenced Grimace after
the game. How much credit do you guys give to
(02:18):
Grimace for this reason?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I mean, hey, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
About coincidence, and so, you know, I mean he definitely
correlates with us, you know, going on this run, and
you know, if that's what you want to attribute it to.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Then then I'm all for it. Whatever it is, let's
keep it going.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I didn't expect that one, you know, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I love that that was that was a great serious
run into it. I thought I was getting a real
serious question there. But no, I think it's great, you
know whatever. Like like we even said, you know, when
we're having the team meeting, like, you know, we need
to have fun. You know, we need to we need
to come out here, we need.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
To have fun.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
We need to be accountable to each other. But first
and foremost, you know, we all grew up with this
being a kid's game, and so I think that's a
lot of fun, you know, adding Grimace to this.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So I'm all for it. And I almost feel like
they listen to coven on Rich yesterday, Hello New York Mets,
because that's exactly what we said, that if the team
could lean into something fun banter in the locker room,
the fans are like Grimos.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
You know, it's all it does is just.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Make baseball in June exciting for a team that has
otherwise been miserable thus far.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So hey, have at it, Grimace.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
When you guys do go on like a six game
losing streak, what are you gonna blame it on the Hamburger?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm not going to talk about it. Yeah, I'm gonna
blame it on a focus on the positive daty day.
But uh, just another shout out to Grimace as the
Mets take on the Rangers tonight. A lot of baseball, Hey,
because the NBA's behind us. Congratulations to the Celtics. We
knew it was gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I mean, did you Our instincts were right yesterday? Yeah,
low out Central.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You said it, what was it?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Six and a half, and we said, if we had
to be a betting man, probably Celtics by six and
a half. And I'll tell you what that game, there's
never a moment where I felt the MAVs it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
We're in it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
From the first quarter you were like, yeah, today's day.
Boston's ready to celebrate yet another NBA title. And the
crazy part is that puts them above your Lakers, does
that matter to you with all, Danny, or do you
not care about the past time?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
No, that matters to all Lakers fans, and that should
light a fire under Jeanie Buss and.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
J Moore, jmore the decision maker. Now, so we'll talk
a little more NBA a little later on. In fact,
there's a story that involves the Lakers and it has
to do with accidentally ruining a surprise? Have you ever
ruined a surprise? We'll get to that. We'll play a
little game in honor of the Celtics winning the NBA title.
Is it a former Boston Celtics role player that you
(04:52):
might have forgot? Or a Boston Market worker? Come on,
we're really leaning into these gamespo, We're really leaning in
the battle make it today for basketball trivia.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So it was probably like eight Boston Market workers left
because they're gone.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Last night when Danny and I were talking about, I
go just make sure Boston Market's still open. I remember
I remember Boston Market being in my neighborhood as a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It's not there anymore.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
We have three hundred and twenty two locations left.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Wow, Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I At one point there had to be thousands, right,
I love Boston Market back.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
In the day, all those mashed potatoes, like.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Like family meals that were felt like Thanksgiving, like a
random Tuesday after Chickens Beneficent.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A bunch of them closed recently within the last year.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
When I was lately, when I was a kid, I
wanted to grow up to be a meat carver.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I always gave that credit.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I was.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I always gave that person credit because you're right for
a fast food place. You're like, look at them carving
the meat back there. It's like it's like when you
see the Chipotle workers cutting up the meat. You're like, man,
they're the next level. They're not just you know, putting
fries in a box of McDonald's. They're slicing real meat.
They're slicing real meat. It's like the tableside guak guy like, man,
have a you you I'm higher?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
How about that? The best? The other best thing is
they had these rotisserie chickens just glistening in the background. Yes. Yeah,
when they cut up your chicken, they just took it
from a drawer and it just came out as a chunk,
and then they sliced it up like you you thought
like it would I get that one harving of the
leg that it just comes off of the of the
(06:23):
spits that did not Yeah, it wasn't like that.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The days of busting markets are hang out for that
barn burner of a game. We'll do that, surprise they
didn't last, Well, we'll do that a little bit. But
I wanted to celebrate because today, my friends, is the
twenty year anniversary of a movie we all loved and
still do, not Fast and the Furious, that came out
on this day in one. So today is one of
(06:47):
those days where you're getting the anniversaries of some of
those big blockbusters back in the day. Summer movies are
trickling out now, Bad Boys four and Inside Out too.
If you got kids, go check it that out. It
was fantastic. But back in one, Fast and the Furious.
But four twenty years ago a movie debuted that I listen.
It was one of the last movies I feel like
(07:09):
we quoted before social media took over. And that movie
is Dodgeball Global Jim.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Jobs by the only place for Steve.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
If you could dodge Wrench, you could dodge Ball. So
twenty years ago today, Ben Stiller and the cast of
characters from dodgeball that debuted in the summer of two
thousand and four, Oh Patches, Ohulahan, twenty years ago, which
feels like not that long ago, but it is that
long ago.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I ask you let's keep it light here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
To start off, Coavin on Rich today, when you think
back to your gym days, Pe high school, elementary school,
physical education, what was the weirdest or most fun game
or sport you remember? Because I feel like I'm gonna
I'm gonna kick it off with the old school. For
(08:02):
some reason, I thought it might have been only my school,
and you hear people from other states and counties saying
the same thing. Why elementary school decided to put this
in the gym curriculum, the Pe curriculum? Square dancing? I'm
sorry what you did not? I didn't have square?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah? We did did when the record player was the.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Poke? Yeah, Danny g did you do square dancing? Square?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
They did square dancing out of l a unified school district. Yeah,
what a whole week of your partner?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Probably what you think we're playing a joking?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I swear did you guys plan this before I showed
up today?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
People? I was Sam, what's that? Did you have? Square
dancing as part of your gym broke that corn husking
is no I listen, I don't think we ever did
square dancing. Okay, think every time you dance, it's square dancing.
Against it, it's a square dancing. Yeah, so hey, listen,
the weirdest thing you remember doing in gym class or
(09:08):
the most fun you had. I know Cavino's not here today,
but him and I have shared the same sentiment that
none of our friends played volleyball in high school. But
when you played volleyball in gym class.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's so great.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The competitive juices came out because you know, a lot
of the guys like I played basketball or football or baseball,
but not many guys you knew played varsity volleyball. So
when you got to compete against your buddies in pe,
I always thought volleyball was top level. Those type booty
shorts didn't really look good on me. You didn't have
to wear those spot Oh, so square dancings on my list.
(09:46):
I'm going volleyball. Anything else come to mind from you?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Elementary school, we would always laugh when the pe teacher
would say, all right, it's time for banana tag. Did
you ever hear that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I played that in college with girls and no, no,
oh sorry, you go to.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Danny, there's kids. I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Nana tag, banana tag.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, like the kids are the monkeys.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Like you spread the kids around the play area and
then they tag another student and that person turns into
a monkey or a banana.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's banana and a monkey.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Is dreams, Danny.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
No, I swear no. Look it up Google banana tags
and was there.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Okay, the tag as many people you can, turning them
into bananas. Yes, the tagger will attempt to tag the runners.
If tagged, the runner will turn into a banana by
holding both arms above their head, hands together in the
shape of a banana.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You grow up, Danny.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Game of Thrones. I touch another one, it becomes Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
The bananas will have to stay still with their arms
up until they've been peeled by two runners. Each one
peels at arms and the banana becomes a runner. Any
I'll be honest, I don't think the kids sounds vaguely familiar.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I'm shout back on shouts out rial to California.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't think the kids in my school were smart
enough to play what you're describing so all right, banana tag,
we got volleyball, we got square dancing, and you guys
could chime in now at eighty seven seven, nine to
nine on Fox my height and this is a crazy thing,
but it is kind of crazy to give you played
sausage tag. No high school students bows and arrows, but
we did. We had an archery like semester where Big
(11:26):
Mike who runs his place saying oh yeah, big Mike
in We did it in the gym. They would set
up the targets. I was great at it because it
required no physical ability whatsoever. But sometimes then we would
go outside and do like more long range bow and
arrow That was so much fun. Spot confirmation from our
buddy Sean Weller, who listens out here on the Fox
(11:47):
Sports radio app in La. He said, Yo, Danny's right,
La Unified square dancing. It was always a week or
so where and you know what I always felt bad for.
You know, back then it was like grab a partner,
so boys and girls would partner of you know, partner.
It was a different time. Everyone was just like boy
and girl team up and there was always a few
extra boys and it was always probably like the foreign
(12:09):
exchange student. They got stuck just square dancing with another boy,
which is never good for like your reputation. When you're
a little school boy and you're dancing together, it's it's
a memory. I remember square dancing was a big one
now when it was a rainy day in New York
or snowy does not apply to you out here in
La Danny g. But do you guys remember something called
(12:32):
silent ball?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Or seven up?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Seven up?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sounds familiar, right, So these are two classroom games that
were extensions of pe where so silent balls, everyone sat
on their desk in a square. No one could talk.
This is probably the teacher's way of just being like,
shut the hell off.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah, but you would.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You could fake throw in a different day like you could.
You could do a I can look at Danny G
and throw the ball, damn buyer, And if you bobbled
it or dropped it, you were out. It was essentially
just uh dodgeball light But you sat on your desk
and it was called silent ball. But seven up, you remember,
like you put your head down on your desk with
your thumb up, heads heads up, seven up. These are
(13:11):
all games from back in the day. Any others come
to mind.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Uh I got one?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, what you got? I was saying, so well, before
this became a national or international sensation. Uh, back all
the way back to junior high school. Our schools were
playing pickleball, and we had all of this stuff to
play pickleball.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
And this is more of an inside the gym's kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But you could have invested in pickleball back then. We
were like what you even like you had bitcoin before
it was bitcoin. Like imagine if Danny j imagine if
I was saying it was one of the original investors
in the rage of pickleball? What am I investing in
the paddles the idea of it? Did you call it
corn cob ball?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
No, it was keeping coming, keeping coming, But no, we
were we were playing brought ball, right, Yeah, there you go,
they brought pack but no, we were playing something and
like then it's you know, twenty years later it takes off.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
We were like, we've been playing that weird kids. So
just to clarify, we're only making find of sam State today. Okay,
that's Wisconsin's off. Yeah that was yesterday. Was draw pack
mailed it. We're done. Iowa is today's vicuy.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
We have parachute that the teacher brought that out. It
was like a lazy day.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Great spotlight when the teacher wheeled in the VCR. So
there was a game that we played. Now some called
it wallball. We called it. The teachers didn't call this,
but the kids did your plate asses up.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
We called it butts up, butts up.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Now again, you may have played a different version of
this in college, but it was you threw a handball
or tennis ball against the school wall. Ye when fielding
it like a ground ball off the wall. If you
bobbled it, you had to run and touch that wall
before someone either pegged you at the ball or you
touched the wall. Now, if you spelled out ass, you
(14:57):
had to stand up there defenseless, like hands on the wall,
like you're being arrested. The fastball at the back of
your and every one of your buddies got one fastball attempt.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We used those real racquetballs, the blue ones.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's stung a little bit if something
called your kidney.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So hey, phones are all lit. If you want in,
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox celebrating the
twenty year anniversary of Ben Stiller and Dodgeball. Spot.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
You still go to Global.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Gym, right, I do twenty year anniversary patches of Hula him.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I'm still hung up on archery to be out, Like
were they actual arrows or were they like suching cups?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Spot took out of kids through the neck. I heard murder, murderer, Yeah.
And they were actually weaponry, yeah, Like they were real
archery targets.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Did you shoot at squirrels in the trees?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It was mostly in the gym, but I just remember
like we went outside like maybe once a week.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Spot was way into it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Remember when walking down the uge, he was like, dude,
was like Daryl Dixon.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I was. I was great at it. Lawn darts you know, no,
can't do those, but let's bring in the arrows for urchery.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Love it, you know what was great? And that was
great in high school. Again, it's gonna be different wherever
you grew up. But you know, we had the football team,
but there were there was a week or so where
we played flag football in pe class and it was
a good chance for all the kids that weren't on
the football team to show off their their skills. And
it got a little rough and I always remember flag
(16:30):
football was really fun week or so. In high school.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I will also say this, and I don't know if
you guys went to a middle school or a junior high,
but we had a junior high, so it was six
to seven. When I was growing up, the toughest transition
was lack of recess and then what gym class was,
because in elementary school it was all games except for
the stupid two weeks of square dancing and parachute. But
(16:54):
then when you actually went and you were in middle school,
it's like, let's lift weights. You're like, no, I want
to play you know whatever, hit the guy against the
wall game like that. That was the worst.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Let me tell you it was. I don't want to
insult anyone now, but I will.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You're still good at it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
If you were one of those people that during gym
class you opted because sometimes remember you had the option of,
like if you just want to walk the track, you can,
because it was always those like the non athletic like
are her sports nerd crew.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That was like, I don't want to play anything.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They don't want to want to sweat one drop of perspiration.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And I don't know why they let him get away
with it, but do you remember the pe teachers would
be like, all right, well then just you know, for
the next forty minutes, just walk around the track. And
it was like, in my opinion, like the lazy loser's
way of handling pe, like that was an opportunity. Now
let me take you back on a take it back tuesday.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I guess right.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So that smell of a high school locker room they
could do nothing about that, huh.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Was baked into the walls.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I mean it was brutal and when you think about it,
I don't know about you. My high school, we didn't
shower after gym class, like maybe like in teen movies
you see people showering. That wasn't a thing. So I
just feel like we would put on and a lot
of guys kept the same dirty gym clothes and a
bag in their locker would change in and out of them,
(18:16):
and then you would just stank the rest of the day.
Teenage boy stank like covered in axe bodies, Like why
were we okay with that? You ever think back, like
how it was just a bunch of stinky teenagers, half
of which like we're scared to ask their parents to
buy them deodorant. And it was Jim clothes that like
stayed in your locker all the time. Like you see,
you didn't have a gym bag that you brought to
(18:37):
school with you every day. Dude, that locker of smell
like your dog's feet like that, like that chet like that, No,
like that, like that Freedom's corn chip smell. So, hey,
you know what We're gonna go to all your phone
calls next, Cameron, Jody, Eric Jason, everyone hang on, uh,
doing a little reminiscing on the twenty year anniversary of
Dodgeball Ben Stiller, a legendary movie, in fact, one of
(18:57):
the last movies we ever quoted. So we'll go over
your favorite old school and weirdest gym games from your childhood.
And of course, congrats to the Celtics tonight. The Panthers

we'll have an NHL Stanley Cup champ the day after

You'll be there.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Relax, you'll be there.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
But right now we're talking to NBA. We talked a
little baseball, but on the twentieth anniversary of Dodgeball, a
lesson we learned twenty years ago from Patrick oh Land
Ben Stiller, a classic.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So we reminisce a little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
That's what we do here in covinon rich So when
you think back gym class pe, we talked about that
stanky corn chip spell of the locker room. We talked
about somehow square dancing made it into the rotation. The
pennies that were probably not washed in thirty five years.
When you would play like pennies.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That's what they are called, those little sad little pennies.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
It would be jersey, I guarantee, the ones you use
for field hockey. You were wearing something that hadn't been
washed since the seventies. They stunk. But hey, your favorite
old school gym games and weirdest things from archery to
Danny g You said ultimate frisbee. You played that out
(22:37):
here in La.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Oh, Yeah, that was a huge spoil all through California.
Everybody loves ultimate frisbee.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
In New York.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
My high school gym teacher swears that he was one
of the people behind this sport becoming an Olympic event.
And I don't know if he was BS and US
or not. His name was mister Walpole, and mister Walpole
said that h speedball, which everyone knows is team handball,
which is a US Olympic sport, which is an Olympic sport.
(23:06):
It was like soccer, but you dribbled a few times
and you would pass it essentially soccer with your use
of hands. And it was called speedball. And yo, we
had speedball tournaments. People love that crap on the East Coast.
But let's go to Cam in Myrtle Beach. What comes
to mind for you?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Cam?
Speaker 9 (23:25):
You know, actually I was about to say ultimate fersbey myself.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
I grew up in I grew up in Missouri and
we were so bad at throwing the frisbee. They just
eventually just said screw it and we played ultimate frisbee,
but with the football because none of us can throw frisbee.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So you know, what is that a true test of
a man or woman?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Can you throw frisbee?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Would you?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Danny G? Can you throw a frisbee?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I actually could? Yeah, if you're at a.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Beach and someone stinks at frisbee and also I'd be like,
it's like someone you give a ping pong paddle, You're like, yo,
did you not have a basement as a kid?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Did you not have a did you have a garage?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
There is a difference between doing the old backhand and
so yeah, and then what these guys do in the
underhand from the hip, yo, chuck it.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, back can frisbee is easy, You're right. The people
that do like the side arm front swing. Yes, like
you're swinging a tennis racket. It's about the angle of
your wrist when anyway you throw, because I've done a
lot of I played was it frolf you know frisbee
golf and those are like hard rubber you know discs,
and you really have to have the right strategy with
(24:26):
your wrist. Your LETTERD in fral right F. Yeah, that's
how you got all the girls. Oh my god, it's
a froth champion.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Got a park in San Diego one time and saw
a league these guys had, like a rec league for
ultimate frisbee and they were all chucking it like that.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
It's a lot of cardio ultimate frisbee, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Let's go to Eric in Phoenix, what's up, Eric covin Rich,
what's up?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Man?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Your phone's stinking like Abe Blincoln. Hold on one second,
Jason and san Antonio, what's up?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Jason?
Speaker 10 (24:57):
Hey man?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
First of all, I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Uh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I I'm gonna be there soon. My wife's from New Bronfels,
so I go to I go to San Antonio every summer.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
What's up there we go? I got two for you.
One's a pretty weird one. But first of all, the
classic tether ball. Yeah, that's that's that's one of the best.
But all right, so for my elementary school, we had
a unicycle team, and that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It was.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
It was one of the dopest things. But not looking
back on it, it's like probably one of the dorkiest
things that I've ever done. But yeah, we had a
unicycle team for the fourth and fifth grade and our
biggest performance was the halftime at the Spurs game. But yeah,
I just wanted to.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Share that with you, you know, the fact that you
got to perform at the Spurs halftime show. There is
Jason on a unicycle. I want to see those.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
Pictures probly, Well, actually I got I got in trouble
for kissing a girl in the bathroom, and they sat
and they benched me on that one because of it.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So I think it was worth That's definitely worth worth.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It, because I was saying, any guy that dress a
unicycle probably don't have any options of girls.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Hoot, gets to work. What was the what was the
first one.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
He said before he said the unicycle?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
There's something else, he said.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I don't know. We all got stuck on this you're
talking about?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a bird brain, all right, Adam Florida.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (26:20):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (26:21):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Hey, buddy, what comes to mind?
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Listen?
Speaker 9 (26:23):
So you never played it in gym, but you definitely
played it in school.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Bloody Knuckles, yo.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Them not only Buddy Knuckles. Cavino is a you know,
I'll speak on behalf of him. Since we've been buzzed
for twenty plus years. Cavino claims to be the pencil
fighting champion. Remember you would you would uh hit the
other guy's pencil and Cavino's like dude.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Oh and and knuckles that was tough, they would.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yeah, you want to talk illegal games? At school? We
played quarters every day at lunch.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
So yeah, these are all bringing us back a little
bit on the twenty year anniversary of dodgeball. We'll take
one more quick phone call trip in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You're on What's up?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Man?
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Hey guys, Grady's always talking to y'all on the back Thursday.
But for today, a great game was obviously red Rover
because you called out the weakest kid. You called out
a kid and they let him break your hands, and
you call off the weak kid in the clothes line
because that was always oh.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You know that definitely read Reverend. But I will say
that kid said tether ball. I remember what I was
going to say. Do you remember at least one kid
getting like a bloody nose because someone whipped around that
tether ball and some kid that wasn't athletic or no,
like right like right in the face. That was like
an automatic bloody nose for some kid. Now we left
out something that I was Sam said during the break,
(27:42):
and I'm thinking, how did no one say the ultimate
game in gym class and recess that somehow everyone loved,
everyone played. It was probably the league leader of what
you played most kickball? Hell, yeah, I love Do you
like it a little bouncy or do you like it
a little?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Most embarrassing moment, I'm gonna tell you right now, Top
three embarrassing moment in my life for real. There's this
little cutie. Her name was Cassie. I had a crush
on her. Sixth grade. The late great mister Frasca was
our gym teacher. Oh and Cassie was in a different class.
Damn Bayer, you could picture this. I'm trying. I got
(28:23):
my glasses on my mullet. Nineteen ninety something. I'm a
little nerd, but I had this crush on this girl.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And she was.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Pitching in kickball, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna show
her on the man watch this. There I go, Hey, Cathy,
I like a little bouncy. So she bounces the kickball
eleven year old May with all my might. I wind
up like I'm adam vinit, Terry trying to kick a
(28:55):
sixty yard field goal. I miss it and I follow
my back. Cassie Brown, Charlie Brown, you know, this girl
struck me out, and I feel like I'm probably the
most humiliated I've been in my forty plus years of life.
So Cassie shout out to Cassie Costa was her name,
so shout out to her.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I actually thought she was going to take one off
the dome because of a line drive. As you built
up the story.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I thank god. Oh my nose like marsh like a.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Rush.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Brady, all right, you know what, Dan, let's go to
you for an update, and you guys can always chime
in at Covine on Rich again the twenty year anniversary
of Dodgeball. You probably saw it in the theater, one
of the last movies we quoted.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
We'll kind of keep with the kickball theme. Talking some
baseball right now. College World Series. Florida States up on
North Carolina nine to five. It's an elimination game in Omaha.
There will be no game tonight between Kentucky and Florida
that has been postponed because of inclement weather coming to
Omaha tonight. They're gonna play that game tomorrow morning. Other
(30:01):
baseball notes, Astros pitcher Justin Verlander placed on the fifteen
day I l with neck discomfort. And the Diamondbacks are
getting Corbyn Carroll back in the lineup set out Sunday,
but he'll bet lead off tonight as they face the
Washington Nationals. Eurero twenty twenty four in stoppage time.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Check you is so near to an invaluable point hot
opening night for them.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Hang on a second, they be coaching Wolf.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And would get no points because Portugal scored in that
stoppage time with a two to one victory. Today. You
saw it on Fox earlier Turkey beat Georgia three to one.
France will not have Killian and Bape Friday against the Netherlands.
He's not gonna play because of that broken nose suffered yesterday.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Rich back to you, No thank you, Dan Bayer at
Covin and Rich if you want to chime in, It's
always fun reminiscing and I feel like Jim class. Do
you remember your rotation of I guess you would call
them extracurriculars, Like, do you remember one day it was
like music class and you went to library one day?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Is this just an East Coast thing?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Did you do that?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And then like PE was a couple days a week.
You had an art class one.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Day and PE every day? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Man, maybe we're just lazy Long Islanders. I guess kickball
once in a while. But hey at covin on Rich
if you want to chime in at all. Now coming
up on the show, I do want to talk about
the idea of not realizing you ruin the surprise. It
could be a party, it could be something that you
weren't supposed to tell someone like oh, congrats, I heard

times where you shouldn't know something and you're like, oops,

Davis at COVID on Rich anything you want to chime
in on fun first hour, talked about old school pe
and Jim Class, being that it's the twentieth anniversary of
dodgeball hitting theaters, which man feels like yesterday but twenty
(33:50):
years ago. Talked a little bit about Grimace and six
in a row for the Mets.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Let's roll with it.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Let's roll with the Mets.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
A lot still to get to, but I want to
talk about bobbleheads for just a minute because I'm scrolling
on social media and I see that they're doing another
O Tani bibblehead at Dodger Stadium and I didn't remember correctly.
I'm like, didn't the first one go over really well?
And yeah, it did so well that fifty thousand plus
(34:22):
fans filled Dodger Stadium for this game, and they were
forty thousand bobbleheads made seventeen hundred or a little easter egg.
He was wearing his road jersey like the Dodger Grays,
and spot how much of those going for on like
e May and like Amazon at there's there's an array,
(34:45):
but it's going upwards of like fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars for a road gray Otani bobblehead jersey, and
the home ones are going for a one hundred. So
there's a new Otani bobblehead. And before I tell you
what it is, I gotta ask, are you, uh, you
know a little judge. If you go to someone's house
and the dude's got a ton of bubbleheads? Is that
(35:08):
a nerdy collectible or a cool collectible? Because I do
have a couple of buddies where I'm like, you think
you think women like your multiple shelves of bibbleheads.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Now, I know you don't do everything for women.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
But if you're a single guy and you're think welcome
toy pad and you got a you know, fifty eight
bobble heads on a shelf, I don't know. Is it
in your living room or in your game room? You know,
it's a big difference if if you got your man
cave or your game room or you know where you
got a couple of jerseys. Hung, I look at it
this way. I'm a big fan of a jersey signed
(35:41):
in a frame or a beautiful photo.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Maybe you got to meet.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
The person I think the best rememberabilia is you got
to meet the person and you even have the picture
of you and them in the frame with the sign piece.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Yeah, except you look, you look really bloated in the photo.
Maybe that's just me.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
That's that's usually all of us. Now, Dan bar, are
you a bobblehead type of guy or what?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
dB? I don't mind the bobbleheads. I am not a
huge collector. I do have a few, but if I
were to see fifty or sixty in someone's home, I
would not look down upon them. I would actually probably
look at them and be like, oh that's interesting. Oh
that's a cool one. So I am. I guess I
am pro bobblehead. The only problem that I have with
(36:26):
it is I think there's no guidance on it. Like
when you would collect baseball cards, we would try to
collect the set.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, this arbitrary, right, Like, Yeah, there's like Big Mic
has like four random bubble heads.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
He has a bottlehead of Magic Johnson and an elfhatt.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, here's my James Worthy Kroger.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
You know, bobblehead, you're like, and some of them are
like more official than others. You're right, right, you might
have the Otani Dodger Stadium one, but someone else might
have like, oh, I got it at a Texico correct.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Correct, that's the only that's the only thing that I
would just like to see is just some guidance along this,
some guide.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, get the rim shot ready, Iowa Sam
Big mic just popped his head in and he said
he has a ton of bobbleheads in his bedroom because he.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Likes an audience. Big mic Hey Richard gets on air.
Dg uh, We're to repeat this one.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But there is a new Otani bobblehead, and they're saying
already people are scoping out tickets trying to figure out
how to get their hands on the new And by
the way, this is his second of the year to
show you the bobblehead rage. That is a show Hey
Otani the Road Jersey one going for thousands. There's a
new bubblehead and it's show Hey with his puppy decoy,
(37:41):
so it's Otani holding his puppy. And they're saying that
this is going to create such a buzz that people
already trying to figure out how to get their hands
on one. But I'm just saying, bobbleheads, I'm with dB.
I'm not going to judge you too much. Have it
in your man cave of your space. But there is
no uniform. Doesn't Dodger Stadium have a nice little area
(38:02):
when you walk into the stadium.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I left yoga there's a display case of a ton.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Of great right by the first bar there.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
So, Hey, your thoughts on bobbleheads compared to other memorabilia.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
How about the name that That's just what struck me.
I'm not a huge o'tani guy, but the name of
the actual pat was decoy. Yeah. Yeah, after his interpreter
just kind of some of us think may have taken
the fall, Like, isn't that odd as anybody else's ring?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Just maybe could he change the name of his dog
if it was named by a guy that almost got
him put in prison? Well, I if you if you
and your girl get a dog and you break up
quickly after, could you rename the dog?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah? I'm just thinking, like they have a you know,
decoy hey. All right, just as it hits a little
too close to home when there may be a certain
amount of people that still believe that show, Hey was
the one who was making those bats.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
So they're saying, mark your calendars. Once they figure this
all out, the new show, Hey o Tani bobblehead featuring
his little puppy decoy. By the way, decoy also has
had also bobbles, so it's not just show Hayes head
that bobbles.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
The dogs had bobbles as well.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
See now, now you're going next level kid that you
know what they had at City Field? Thro all my
East Coast Mets fans, I know this some of us.
There's some Met fans out there. I promise heartbreaking loss.
You know they will have a they will have a
Grimace bobblehead. Do you mark my words? If this continues?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Is this whole body just bobble I thought I thought that.
Speaker 10 (39:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I thought that it sucked last year that they continued
on with a Timmy Trumpet's Edwin Diaz bobblehead, even though
he was out for the whole year.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It was like insult to injury.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
It's like, hey, the Mets think this year we lost
Edwin Diaz, but hey, here's a bobblehead of him holding
a trumpet. Oh you should have canned that one. But
they had their three announcers, Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and
Ron Darling. They had a three piece bobblehead where you
connected them and made the booth and made the broadcast booth.
So there's some cool ones out there. But I just
thought that was very much in the vein of our
(40:06):
show that Otani because of the success of Bobblehead Night
number one him with his puppy.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So, hey, look at that.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
I collected mini helmets back to your original points. Yeah,
and so I've displayed them in my home in our
loft area. And what's that?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
How do you display them on severed head spots?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
No little mediature heads of yourself.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
So for a while I did on the square ikia
shelves that you could just you know, I would have matchups.
But now there are some people who make custom ones
where it's almost like the shape of a j where
you can stick it on the wall and then you
place the the and so I've done that. And maybe
my wife has been lying to me for all these years,
(40:49):
but she says that she actually thinks it looks cool,
that it does present some sort of you know, atmosphere
to the area if it's done correctly.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I'm a bigger fan of that than the bobbleheads. Sure,
brings me back to our childhood when you went to
the supermarket with mom or dad and you were done paying,
Mom was done. Uh you know you're bagging the groceries
on your way out. How many times you could I
get a quarter and you would get that? Yeah, the
gumballs out of the gumball machine, those quarter helmets. Looking back,
(41:22):
I cared way too much about it, Like I would
get so excited if I if I got a team
that I had not gotten before, and then if you
got like a dud, like oh the Colts again, like
you you put like think about like eight year old
you and how much stock you put in those little helmets.
Always the Colts and the Browns.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah, my kid was playing with the Jets, one of mine,
like if they you know, the other day, I'm like,
should I not? Maybe they could be worth something. I
just let them play with it.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Nothing with the Jets with anything unless it's name of
its fur coat.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
I think you're good.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Listen, we got a lot coming up. We are gonna
play a new game. We're gonna have fun with this
selfis random role player? So is it a Boston Celtic
or a Boston Market employee.
Speaker 1 (42:05):

If you want to chime in at any point now,
I gotta start out by saying, this grimmest thing is real.

It's happening. The grimmest thing is real.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Spot.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I mean, yes, it's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Now, it's happening, Danny jan It's it's you know, it's funny.
We talked about it yesterday and I was like, I
just want to touch on it real quick, because all
it takes is a fan base to get excited about
something stupid. And that was the point yesterday. Grimace thrown
out the first pitch just so happens to line up
with the Mets winning now six in a row, nine
(01:56):
of their last twelve, or actually nine of their last eleven,
and the Mets are right there a game out of
the wild Card. And I wanted to bring it up
today for a second because even Brandon Nimo, who had
a big game yesterday for the Mets, referenced Grimace after
the game. How much credit do you guys give to
(02:18):
Grimace for this reason?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I mean, hey, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
About coincidence, and so, you know, I mean he definitely
correlates with us, you know, going on this run, and
you know, if that's what you want to attribute it to.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Then then I'm all for it. Whatever it is, let's
keep it going.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I didn't expect that one, you know, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I love that that was that was a great serious
run into it. I thought I was getting a real
serious question there. But no, I think it's great, you
know whatever. Like like we even said, you know, when
we're having the team meeting, like, you know, we need
to have fun. You know, we need to we need
to come out here, we need.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
To have fun.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
We need to be accountable to each other. But first
and foremost, you know, we all grew up with this
being a kid's game, and so I think that's a
lot of fun, you know, adding Grimace to this.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So I'm all for it. And I almost feel like
they listen to coven on Rich yesterday, Hello New York Mets,
because that's exactly what we said, that if the team
could lean into something fun banter in the locker room,
the fans are like Grimos.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
You know, it's all it does is just.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Make baseball in June exciting for a team that has
otherwise been miserable thus far.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So hey, have at it, Grimace.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
When you guys do go on like a six game
losing streak, what are you gonna blame it on the Hamburger?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm not going to talk about it. Yeah, I'm gonna
blame it on a focus on the positive daty day.
But uh, just another shout out to Grimace as the
Mets take on the Rangers tonight. A lot of baseball, Hey,
because the NBA's behind us. Congratulations to the Celtics. We
knew it was gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I mean, did you Our instincts were right yesterday? Yeah,
low out Central.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You said it, what was it?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Six and a half, and we said, if we had
to be a betting man, probably Celtics by six and
a half. And I'll tell you what that game, there's
never a moment where I felt the MAVs it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
We're in it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
From the first quarter you were like, yeah, today's day.
Boston's ready to celebrate yet another NBA title. And the
crazy part is that puts them above your Lakers, does
that matter to you with all, Danny, or do you
not care about the past time?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
No, that matters to all Lakers fans, and that should
light a fire under Jeanie Buss and.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
J Moore, jmore the decision maker. Now, so we'll talk
a little more NBA a little later on. In fact,
there's a story that involves the Lakers and it has
to do with accidentally ruining a surprise? Have you ever
ruined a surprise? We'll get to that. We'll play a
little game in honor of the Celtics winning the NBA title.
Is it a former Boston Celtics role player that you
(04:52):
might have forgot? Or a Boston Market worker? Come on,
we're really leaning into these gamespo, We're really leaning in
the battle make it today for basketball trivia.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So it was probably like eight Boston Market workers left
because they're gone.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Last night when Danny and I were talking about, I
go just make sure Boston Market's still open. I remember
I remember Boston Market being in my neighborhood as a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It's not there anymore.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
We have three hundred and twenty two locations left.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Wow, Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I At one point there had to be thousands, right,
I love Boston Market back.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
In the day, all those mashed potatoes, like.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Like family meals that were felt like Thanksgiving, like a
random Tuesday after Chickens Beneficent.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A bunch of them closed recently within the last year.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
When I was lately, when I was a kid, I
wanted to grow up to be a meat carver.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I always gave that credit.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I was.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I always gave that person credit because you're right for
a fast food place. You're like, look at them carving
the meat back there. It's like it's like when you
see the Chipotle workers cutting up the meat. You're like, man,
they're the next level. They're not just you know, putting
fries in a box of McDonald's. They're slicing real meat.
They're slicing real meat. It's like the tableside guak guy like, man,
have a you you I'm higher?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
How about that? The best? The other best thing is
they had these rotisserie chickens just glistening in the background. Yes. Yeah,
when they cut up your chicken, they just took it
from a drawer and it just came out as a chunk,
and then they sliced it up like you you thought
like it would I get that one harving of the
leg that it just comes off of the of the
(06:23):
spits that did not Yeah, it wasn't like that.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The days of busting markets are hang out for that
barn burner of a game. We'll do that, surprise they
didn't last, Well, we'll do that a little bit. But
I wanted to celebrate because today, my friends, is the
twenty year anniversary of a movie we all loved and
still do, not Fast and the Furious, that came out
on this day in one. So today is one of
(06:47):
those days where you're getting the anniversaries of some of
those big blockbusters back in the day. Summer movies are
trickling out now, Bad Boys four and Inside Out too.
If you got kids, go check it that out. It
was fantastic. But back in one, Fast and the Furious.
But four twenty years ago a movie debuted that I listen.
It was one of the last movies I feel like
(07:09):
we quoted before social media took over. And that movie
is Dodgeball Global Jim.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Jobs by the only place for Steve.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
If you could dodge Wrench, you could dodge Ball. So
twenty years ago today, Ben Stiller and the cast of
characters from dodgeball that debuted in the summer of two
thousand and four, Oh Patches, Ohulahan, twenty years ago, which
feels like not that long ago, but it is that
long ago.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I ask you let's keep it light here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
To start off, Coavin on Rich today, when you think
back to your gym days, Pe high school, elementary school,
physical education, what was the weirdest or most fun game
or sport you remember? Because I feel like I'm gonna
I'm gonna kick it off with the old school. For
(08:02):
some reason, I thought it might have been only my school,
and you hear people from other states and counties saying
the same thing. Why elementary school decided to put this
in the gym curriculum, the Pe curriculum? Square dancing? I'm
sorry what you did not? I didn't have square?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah? We did did when the record player was the.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Poke? Yeah, Danny g did you do square dancing? Square?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
They did square dancing out of l a unified school district. Yeah,
what a whole week of your partner?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Probably what you think we're playing a joking?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I swear did you guys plan this before I showed
up today?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
People? I was Sam, what's that? Did you have? Square
dancing as part of your gym broke that corn husking
is no I listen, I don't think we ever did
square dancing. Okay, think every time you dance, it's square dancing.
Against it, it's a square dancing. Yeah, so hey, listen,
the weirdest thing you remember doing in gym class or
(09:08):
the most fun you had. I know Cavino's not here today,
but him and I have shared the same sentiment that
none of our friends played volleyball in high school. But
when you played volleyball in gym class.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's so great.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The competitive juices came out because you know, a lot
of the guys like I played basketball or football or baseball,
but not many guys you knew played varsity volleyball. So
when you got to compete against your buddies in pe,
I always thought volleyball was top level. Those type booty
shorts didn't really look good on me. You didn't have
to wear those spot Oh, so square dancings on my list.
(09:46):
I'm going volleyball. Anything else come to mind from you?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Elementary school, we would always laugh when the pe teacher
would say, all right, it's time for banana tag. Did
you ever hear that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I played that in college with girls and no, no,
oh sorry, you go to.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Danny, there's kids. I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Nana tag, banana tag.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, like the kids are the monkeys.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Like you spread the kids around the play area and
then they tag another student and that person turns into
a monkey or a banana.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's banana and a monkey.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Is dreams, Danny.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
No, I swear no. Look it up Google banana tags
and was there.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Okay, the tag as many people you can, turning them
into bananas. Yes, the tagger will attempt to tag the runners.
If tagged, the runner will turn into a banana by
holding both arms above their head, hands together in the
shape of a banana.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You grow up, Danny.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Game of Thrones. I touch another one, it becomes Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
The bananas will have to stay still with their arms
up until they've been peeled by two runners. Each one
peels at arms and the banana becomes a runner. Any
I'll be honest, I don't think the kids sounds vaguely familiar.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I'm shout back on shouts out rial to California.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't think the kids in my school were smart
enough to play what you're describing so all right, banana tag,
we got volleyball, we got square dancing, and you guys
could chime in now at eighty seven seven, nine to
nine on Fox my height and this is a crazy thing,
but it is kind of crazy to give you played
sausage tag. No high school students bows and arrows, but
we did. We had an archery like semester where Big
(11:26):
Mike who runs his place saying oh yeah, big Mike
in We did it in the gym. They would set
up the targets. I was great at it because it
required no physical ability whatsoever. But sometimes then we would
go outside and do like more long range bow and
arrow That was so much fun. Spot confirmation from our
buddy Sean Weller, who listens out here on the Fox
(11:47):
Sports radio app in La. He said, Yo, Danny's right,
La Unified square dancing. It was always a week or
so where and you know what I always felt bad for.
You know, back then it was like grab a partner,
so boys and girls would partner of you know, partner.
It was a different time. Everyone was just like boy
and girl team up and there was always a few
extra boys and it was always probably like the foreign
(12:09):
exchange student. They got stuck just square dancing with another boy,
which is never good for like your reputation. When you're
a little school boy and you're dancing together, it's it's
a memory. I remember square dancing was a big one
now when it was a rainy day in New York
or snowy does not apply to you out here in
La Danny g. But do you guys remember something called
(12:32):
silent ball?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Or seven up?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Seven up?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sounds familiar, right, So these are two classroom games that
were extensions of pe where so silent balls, everyone sat
on their desk in a square. No one could talk.
This is probably the teacher's way of just being like,
shut the hell off.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah, but you would.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You could fake throw in a different day like you could.
You could do a I can look at Danny G
and throw the ball, damn buyer, And if you bobbled
it or dropped it, you were out. It was essentially
just uh dodgeball light But you sat on your desk
and it was called silent ball. But seven up, you remember,
like you put your head down on your desk with
your thumb up, heads heads up, seven up. These are
(13:11):
all games from back in the day. Any others come
to mind.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Uh I got one?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, what you got? I was saying, so well, before
this became a national or international sensation. Uh, back all
the way back to junior high school. Our schools were
playing pickleball, and we had all of this stuff to
play pickleball.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
And this is more of an inside the gym's kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But you could have invested in pickleball back then. We
were like what you even like you had bitcoin before
it was bitcoin. Like imagine if Danny j imagine if
I was saying it was one of the original investors
in the rage of pickleball? What am I investing in
the paddles the idea of it? Did you call it
corn cob ball?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
No, it was keeping coming, keeping coming, But no, we
were we were playing brought ball, right, Yeah, there you go,
they brought pack but no, we were playing something and
like then it's you know, twenty years later it takes off.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
We were like, we've been playing that weird kids. So
just to clarify, we're only making find of sam State today. Okay,
that's Wisconsin's off. Yeah that was yesterday. Was draw pack
mailed it. We're done. Iowa is today's vicuy.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
We have parachute that the teacher brought that out. It
was like a lazy day.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Great spotlight when the teacher wheeled in the VCR. So
there was a game that we played. Now some called
it wallball. We called it. The teachers didn't call this,
but the kids did your plate asses up.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
We called it butts up, butts up.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Now again, you may have played a different version of
this in college, but it was you threw a handball
or tennis ball against the school wall. Ye when fielding
it like a ground ball off the wall. If you
bobbled it, you had to run and touch that wall
before someone either pegged you at the ball or you
touched the wall. Now, if you spelled out ass, you
(14:57):
had to stand up there defenseless, like hands on the wall,
like you're being arrested. The fastball at the back of
your and every one of your buddies got one fastball attempt.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We used those real racquetballs, the blue ones.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's stung a little bit if something
called your kidney.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So hey, phones are all lit. If you want in,
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox celebrating the
twenty year anniversary of Ben Stiller and Dodgeball. Spot.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
You still go to Global.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Gym, right, I do twenty year anniversary patches of Hula him.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I'm still hung up on archery to be out, Like
were they actual arrows or were they like suching cups?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Spot took out of kids through the neck. I heard murder, murderer, Yeah.
And they were actually weaponry, yeah, Like they were real
archery targets.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Did you shoot at squirrels in the trees?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It was mostly in the gym, but I just remember
like we went outside like maybe once a week.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Spot was way into it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Remember when walking down the uge, he was like, dude,
was like Daryl Dixon.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I was. I was great at it. Lawn darts you know, no,
can't do those, but let's bring in the arrows for urchery.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Love it, you know what was great? And that was
great in high school. Again, it's gonna be different wherever
you grew up. But you know, we had the football team,
but there were there was a week or so where
we played flag football in pe class and it was
a good chance for all the kids that weren't on
the football team to show off their their skills. And
it got a little rough and I always remember flag
(16:30):
football was really fun week or so. In high school.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I will also say this, and I don't know if
you guys went to a middle school or a junior high,
but we had a junior high, so it was six
to seven. When I was growing up, the toughest transition
was lack of recess and then what gym class was,
because in elementary school it was all games except for
the stupid two weeks of square dancing and parachute. But
(16:54):
then when you actually went and you were in middle school,
it's like, let's lift weights. You're like, no, I want
to play you know whatever, hit the guy against the
wall game like that. That was the worst.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Let me tell you it was. I don't want to
insult anyone now, but I will.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You're still good at it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
If you were one of those people that during gym
class you opted because sometimes remember you had the option of,
like if you just want to walk the track, you can,
because it was always those like the non athletic like
are her sports nerd crew.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That was like, I don't want to play anything.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They don't want to want to sweat one drop of perspiration.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And I don't know why they let him get away
with it, but do you remember the pe teachers would
be like, all right, well then just you know, for
the next forty minutes, just walk around the track. And
it was like, in my opinion, like the lazy loser's
way of handling pe, like that was an opportunity. Now
let me take you back on a take it back tuesday.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I guess right.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So that smell of a high school locker room they
could do nothing about that, huh.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Was baked into the walls.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I mean it was brutal and when you think about it,
I don't know about you. My high school, we didn't
shower after gym class, like maybe like in teen movies
you see people showering. That wasn't a thing. So I
just feel like we would put on and a lot
of guys kept the same dirty gym clothes and a
bag in their locker would change in and out of them,
(18:16):
and then you would just stank the rest of the day.
Teenage boy stank like covered in axe bodies, Like why
were we okay with that? You ever think back, like
how it was just a bunch of stinky teenagers, half
of which like we're scared to ask their parents to
buy them deodorant. And it was Jim clothes that like
stayed in your locker all the time. Like you see,
you didn't have a gym bag that you brought to
(18:37):
school with you every day. Dude, that locker of smell
like your dog's feet like that, like that chet like that, No,
like that, like that Freedom's corn chip smell. So, hey,
you know what We're gonna go to all your phone
calls next, Cameron, Jody, Eric Jason, everyone hang on, uh,
doing a little reminiscing on the twenty year anniversary of
Dodgeball Ben Stiller, a legendary movie, in fact, one of
(18:57):

your favorite old school and weirdest gym games from your childhood.

I got the message like twenty minutes ago, Relax, loop cars,
You'll be there.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Relax, you'll be there.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
But right now we're talking to NBA. We talked a
little baseball, but on the twentieth anniversary of Dodgeball, a
lesson we learned twenty years ago from Patrick oh Land
Ben Stiller, a classic.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So we reminisce a little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
That's what we do here in covinon rich So when
you think back gym class pe, we talked about that
stanky corn chip spell of the locker room. We talked
about somehow square dancing made it into the rotation. The
pennies that were probably not washed in thirty five years.
When you would play like pennies.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That's what they are called, those little sad little pennies.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
It would be jersey, I guarantee, the ones you use
for field hockey. You were wearing something that hadn't been
washed since the seventies. They stunk. But hey, your favorite
old school gym games and weirdest things from archery to
Danny g You said ultimate frisbee. You played that out
(22:37):
here in La.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Oh, Yeah, that was a huge spoil all through California.
Everybody loves ultimate frisbee.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
In New York.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
My high school gym teacher swears that he was one
of the people behind this sport becoming an Olympic event.
And I don't know if he was BS and US
or not. His name was mister Walpole, and mister Walpole
said that h speedball, which everyone knows is team handball,
which is a US Olympic sport, which is an Olympic sport.
(23:06):
It was like soccer, but you dribbled a few times
and you would pass it essentially soccer with your use
of hands. And it was called speedball. And yo, we
had speedball tournaments. People love that crap on the East Coast.
But let's go to Cam in Myrtle Beach. What comes
to mind for you?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Cam?
Speaker 9 (23:25):
You know, actually I was about to say ultimate fersbey myself.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
I grew up in I grew up in Missouri and
we were so bad at throwing the frisbee. They just
eventually just said screw it and we played ultimate frisbee,
but with the football because none of us can throw frisbee.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So you know, what is that a true test of
a man or woman?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Can you throw frisbee?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Would you?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Danny G? Can you throw a frisbee?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I actually could? Yeah, if you're at a.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Beach and someone stinks at frisbee and also I'd be like,
it's like someone you give a ping pong paddle, You're like, yo,
did you not have a basement as a kid?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Did you not have a did you have a garage?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
There is a difference between doing the old backhand and
so yeah, and then what these guys do in the
underhand from the hip, yo, chuck it.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, back can frisbee is easy, You're right. The people
that do like the side arm front swing. Yes, like
you're swinging a tennis racket. It's about the angle of
your wrist when anyway you throw, because I've done a
lot of I played was it frolf you know frisbee
golf and those are like hard rubber you know discs,
and you really have to have the right strategy with
(24:26):
your wrist. Your LETTERD in fral right F. Yeah, that's
how you got all the girls. Oh my god, it's
a froth champion.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Got a park in San Diego one time and saw
a league these guys had, like a rec league for
ultimate frisbee and they were all chucking it like that.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
It's a lot of cardio ultimate frisbee, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Let's go to Eric in Phoenix, what's up, Eric covin Rich,
what's up?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Man?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Your phone's stinking like Abe Blincoln. Hold on one second,
Jason and san Antonio, what's up?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Jason?
Speaker 10 (24:57):
Hey man?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
First of all, I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Uh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I I'm gonna be there soon. My wife's from New Bronfels,
so I go to I go to San Antonio every summer.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
What's up there we go? I got two for you.
One's a pretty weird one. But first of all, the
classic tether ball. Yeah, that's that's that's one of the best.
But all right, so for my elementary school, we had
a unicycle team, and that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It was.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
It was one of the dopest things. But not looking
back on it, it's like probably one of the dorkiest
things that I've ever done. But yeah, we had a
unicycle team for the fourth and fifth grade and our
biggest performance was the halftime at the Spurs game. But yeah,
I just wanted to.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Share that with you, you know, the fact that you
got to perform at the Spurs halftime show. There is
Jason on a unicycle. I want to see those.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
Pictures probly, Well, actually I got I got in trouble
for kissing a girl in the bathroom, and they sat
and they benched me on that one because of it.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So I think it was worth That's definitely worth worth.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It, because I was saying, any guy that dress a
unicycle probably don't have any options of girls.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Hoot, gets to work. What was the what was the
first one.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
He said before he said the unicycle?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
There's something else, he said.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I don't know. We all got stuck on this you're
talking about?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a bird brain, all right, Adam Florida.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (26:20):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (26:21):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Hey, buddy, what comes to mind?
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Listen?
Speaker 9 (26:23):
So you never played it in gym, but you definitely
played it in school.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Bloody Knuckles, yo.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Them not only Buddy Knuckles. Cavino is a you know,
I'll speak on behalf of him. Since we've been buzzed
for twenty plus years. Cavino claims to be the pencil
fighting champion. Remember you would you would uh hit the
other guy's pencil and Cavino's like dude.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Oh and and knuckles that was tough, they would.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yeah, you want to talk illegal games? At school? We
played quarters every day at lunch.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
So yeah, these are all bringing us back a little
bit on the twenty year anniversary of dodgeball. We'll take
one more quick phone call trip in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You're on What's up?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Man?
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Hey guys, Grady's always talking to y'all on the back Thursday.
But for today, a great game was obviously red Rover
because you called out the weakest kid. You called out
a kid and they let him break your hands, and
you call off the weak kid in the clothes line
because that was always oh.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You know that definitely read Reverend. But I will say
that kid said tether ball. I remember what I was
going to say. Do you remember at least one kid
getting like a bloody nose because someone whipped around that
tether ball and some kid that wasn't athletic or no,
like right like right in the face. That was like
an automatic bloody nose for some kid. Now we left
out something that I was Sam said during the break,
(27:42):
and I'm thinking, how did no one say the ultimate
game in gym class and recess that somehow everyone loved,
everyone played. It was probably the league leader of what
you played most kickball? Hell, yeah, I love Do you
like it a little bouncy or do you like it
a little?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Most embarrassing moment, I'm gonna tell you right now, Top
three embarrassing moment in my life for real. There's this
little cutie. Her name was Cassie. I had a crush
on her. Sixth grade. The late great mister Frasca was
our gym teacher. Oh and Cassie was in a different class.
Damn Bayer, you could picture this. I'm trying. I got
(28:23):
my glasses on my mullet. Nineteen ninety something. I'm a
little nerd, but I had this crush on this girl.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And she was.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Pitching in kickball, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna show
her on the man watch this. There I go, Hey, Cathy,
I like a little bouncy. So she bounces the kickball
eleven year old May with all my might. I wind
up like I'm adam vinit, Terry trying to kick a
(28:55):
sixty yard field goal. I miss it and I follow
my back. Cassie Brown, Charlie Brown, you know, this girl
struck me out, and I feel like I'm probably the
most humiliated I've been in my forty plus years of life.
So Cassie shout out to Cassie Costa was her name,
so shout out to her.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I actually thought she was going to take one off
the dome because of a line drive. As you built
up the story.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I thank god. Oh my nose like marsh like a.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Rush.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Brady, all right, you know what, Dan, let's go to
you for an update, and you guys can always chime
in at Covine on Rich again the twenty year anniversary
of Dodgeball. You probably saw it in the theater, one
of the last movies we quoted.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
We'll kind of keep with the kickball theme. Talking some
baseball right now. College World Series. Florida States up on
North Carolina nine to five. It's an elimination game in Omaha.
There will be no game tonight between Kentucky and Florida
that has been postponed because of inclement weather coming to
Omaha tonight. They're gonna play that game tomorrow morning. Other
(30:01):
baseball notes, Astros pitcher Justin Verlander placed on the fifteen
day I l with neck discomfort. And the Diamondbacks are
getting Corbyn Carroll back in the lineup set out Sunday,
but he'll bet lead off tonight as they face the
Washington Nationals. Eurero twenty twenty four in stoppage time.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Check you is so near to an invaluable point hot
opening night for them.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Hang on a second, they be coaching Wolf.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And would get no points because Portugal scored in that
stoppage time with a two to one victory. Today. You
saw it on Fox earlier Turkey beat Georgia three to one.
France will not have Killian and Bape Friday against the Netherlands.
He's not gonna play because of that broken nose suffered yesterday.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Rich back to you, No thank you, Dan Bayer at
Covin and Rich if you want to chime in, It's
always fun reminiscing and I feel like Jim class. Do
you remember your rotation of I guess you would call
them extracurriculars, Like, do you remember one day it was
like music class and you went to library one day?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Is this just an East Coast thing?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Did you do that?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And then like PE was a couple days a week.
You had an art class one.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Day and PE every day? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Man, maybe we're just lazy Long Islanders. I guess kickball
once in a while. But hey at covin on Rich
if you want to chime in at all. Now coming
up on the show, I do want to talk about
the idea of not realizing you ruin the surprise. It
could be a party, it could be something that you
weren't supposed to tell someone like oh, congrats, I heard

you're heard your wife's pregnant. What she told you? Those
times where you shouldn't know something and you're like, oops,

Davis at COVID on Rich anything you want to chime
in on fun first hour, talked about old school pe
and Jim Class, being that it's the twentieth anniversary of
dodgeball hitting theaters, which man feels like yesterday but twenty
(33:50):
years ago. Talked a little bit about Grimace and six
in a row for the Mets.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Let's roll with it.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Let's roll with the Mets.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
A lot still to get to, but I want to
talk about bobbleheads for just a minute because I'm scrolling
on social media and I see that they're doing another
O Tani bibblehead at Dodger Stadium and I didn't remember correctly.
I'm like, didn't the first one go over really well?
And yeah, it did so well that fifty thousand plus
(34:22):
fans filled Dodger Stadium for this game, and they were
forty thousand bobbleheads made seventeen hundred or a little easter egg.
He was wearing his road jersey like the Dodger Grays,
and spot how much of those going for on like
e May and like Amazon at there's there's an array,
(34:45):
but it's going upwards of like fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars for a road gray Otani bobblehead jersey, and
the home ones are going for a one hundred. So
there's a new Otani bobblehead. And before I tell you
what it is, I gotta ask, are you, uh, you
know a little judge. If you go to someone's house
and the dude's got a ton of bubbleheads? Is that
(35:08):
a nerdy collectible or a cool collectible? Because I do
have a couple of buddies where I'm like, you think
you think women like your multiple shelves of bibbleheads.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Now, I know you don't do everything for women.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
But if you're a single guy and you're think welcome
toy pad and you got a you know, fifty eight
bobble heads on a shelf, I don't know. Is it
in your living room or in your game room? You know,
it's a big difference if if you got your man
cave or your game room or you know where you
got a couple of jerseys. Hung, I look at it
this way. I'm a big fan of a jersey signed
(35:41):
in a frame or a beautiful photo.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Maybe you got to meet.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
The person I think the best rememberabilia is you got
to meet the person and you even have the picture
of you and them in the frame with the sign piece.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Yeah, except you look, you look really bloated in the photo.
Maybe that's just me.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
That's that's usually all of us. Now, Dan bar, are
you a bobblehead type of guy or what?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
dB? I don't mind the bobbleheads. I am not a
huge collector. I do have a few, but if I
were to see fifty or sixty in someone's home, I
would not look down upon them. I would actually probably
look at them and be like, oh that's interesting. Oh
that's a cool one. So I am. I guess I
am pro bobblehead. The only problem that I have with
(36:26):
it is I think there's no guidance on it. Like
when you would collect baseball cards, we would try to
collect the set.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, this arbitrary, right, Like, Yeah, there's like Big Mic
has like four random bubble heads.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
He has a bottlehead of Magic Johnson and an elfhatt.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, here's my James Worthy Kroger.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
You know, bobblehead, you're like, and some of them are
like more official than others. You're right, right, you might
have the Otani Dodger Stadium one, but someone else might
have like, oh, I got it at a Texico correct.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Correct, that's the only that's the only thing that I
would just like to see is just some guidance along this,
some guide.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, get the rim shot ready, Iowa Sam
Big mic just popped his head in and he said
he has a ton of bobbleheads in his bedroom because he.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Likes an audience. Big mic Hey Richard gets on air.
Dg uh, We're to repeat this one.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But there is a new Otani bobblehead, and they're saying
already people are scoping out tickets trying to figure out
how to get their hands on the new And by
the way, this is his second of the year to
show you the bobblehead rage. That is a show Hey
Otani the Road Jersey one going for thousands. There's a
new bubblehead and it's show Hey with his puppy decoy,
(37:41):
so it's Otani holding his puppy. And they're saying that
this is going to create such a buzz that people
already trying to figure out how to get their hands
on one. But I'm just saying, bobbleheads, I'm with dB.
I'm not going to judge you too much. Have it
in your man cave of your space. But there is
no uniform. Doesn't Dodger Stadium have a nice little area
(38:02):
when you walk into the stadium.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I left yoga there's a display case of a ton.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Of great right by the first bar there.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
So, Hey, your thoughts on bobbleheads compared to other memorabilia.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
How about the name that That's just what struck me.
I'm not a huge o'tani guy, but the name of
the actual pat was decoy. Yeah. Yeah, after his interpreter
just kind of some of us think may have taken
the fall, Like, isn't that odd as anybody else's ring?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Just maybe could he change the name of his dog
if it was named by a guy that almost got
him put in prison? Well, I if you if you
and your girl get a dog and you break up
quickly after, could you rename the dog?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah? I'm just thinking, like they have a you know,
decoy hey. All right, just as it hits a little
too close to home when there may be a certain
amount of people that still believe that show, Hey was
the one who was making those bats.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
So they're saying, mark your calendars. Once they figure this
all out, the new show, Hey o Tani bobblehead featuring
his little puppy decoy. By the way, decoy also has
had also bobbles, so it's not just show Hayes head
that bobbles.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
The dogs had bobbles as well.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
See now, now you're going next level kid that you
know what they had at City Field? Thro all my
East Coast Mets fans, I know this some of us.
There's some Met fans out there. I promise heartbreaking loss.
You know they will have a they will have a
Grimace bobblehead. Do you mark my words? If this continues?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Is this whole body just bobble I thought I thought that.
Speaker 10 (39:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I thought that it sucked last year that they continued
on with a Timmy Trumpet's Edwin Diaz bobblehead, even though
he was out for the whole year.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It was like insult to injury.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
It's like, hey, the Mets think this year we lost
Edwin Diaz, but hey, here's a bobblehead of him holding
a trumpet. Oh you should have canned that one. But
they had their three announcers, Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and
Ron Darling. They had a three piece bobblehead where you
connected them and made the booth and made the broadcast booth.
So there's some cool ones out there. But I just
thought that was very much in the vein of our
(40:06):
show that Otani because of the success of Bobblehead Night
number one him with his puppy.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So, hey, look at that.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
I collected mini helmets back to your original points. Yeah,
and so I've displayed them in my home in our
loft area. And what's that?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
How do you display them on severed head spots?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
No little mediature heads of yourself.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
So for a while I did on the square ikia
shelves that you could just you know, I would have matchups.
But now there are some people who make custom ones
where it's almost like the shape of a j where
you can stick it on the wall and then you
place the the and so I've done that. And maybe
my wife has been lying to me for all these years,
(40:49):
but she says that she actually thinks it looks cool,
that it does present some sort of you know, atmosphere
to the area if it's done correctly.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I'm a bigger fan of that than the bobbleheads. Sure,
brings me back to our childhood when you went to
the supermarket with mom or dad and you were done paying,
Mom was done. Uh you know you're bagging the groceries
on your way out. How many times you could I
get a quarter and you would get that? Yeah, the
gumballs out of the gumball machine, those quarter helmets. Looking back,
(41:22):
I cared way too much about it, Like I would
get so excited if I if I got a team
that I had not gotten before, and then if you
got like a dud, like oh the Colts again, like
you you put like think about like eight year old
you and how much stock you put in those little helmets.
Always the Colts and the Browns.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah, my kid was playing with the Jets, one of mine,
like if they you know, the other day, I'm like,
should I not? Maybe they could be worth something. I
just let them play with it.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Nothing with the Jets with anything unless it's name of
its fur coat.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
I think you're good.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Listen, we got a lot coming up. We are gonna
play a new game. We're gonna have fun with this
selfis random role player? So is it a Boston Celtic
or a Boston Market employee.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
So Danny g breaking out the fun games.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
We'll give away a swiggy, Plus we'll talk about ruining, surprises,
some baseball, some NFL.
