But it's NBA Finals Thursday. Super pumped about that. The
only thing that's reminding me that it's Thursday is the finals,
Danny g in dB, because to me, it feels like
a Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, you it's Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
You were actually preparing weekend hobnobbing when we were on
the phone.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Dude, I've been saying to everybody, it's Friday. I'm on
the radio on series extemp saying it's Friday.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's Thursday. I'm geting ahead of myself.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
I believe I blame last week because of the Memorial
Day holiday. I felt it was a short week, so
you're used to a shorter week. Then you come into
this week and it's back to normal, but it feels
longer than what it did.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
So now you're saying that it's a Friday, you know what,
I'll roll with that.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Dan Bayer got my back and he's got your update.
It's great to see dB. Thanks for hanging out with
me today, and thanks again Fox Sports Radio Nation eight seven,
seven ninety nine out Fox Everything at Covino and Rich
and at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Now before we talk the NBA Finals and.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Everything, Adam silver as as Iowa Sam calls him, nos
Faratu has to say about it. I want to let
you know why I'm in New Jersey. I'm in New
Jersey and Riches at a Mets game.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
We get around.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I came to New Jersey to film something early tomorrow morning.
I'm going to be filming something for the History Channel,
right and I'll explain why. But I also want to
remind you guys that if you don't have your real
ID yet, you're gonna get hassled and haggled like I

(03:15):
did and padded down. And I know I'm supposed to know,
and I know they've been telling everybody for a long time,
and I know they've extended it, but I thought we
still had.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Time, and no you don't.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
So here I am rocking like a hurricane, trying to
get through TSA, trying to get through security to catch
my flight last night, and they asked for my ID.
They put it in that little thing and they're like,
you got any other form of ID? And I was like,
why am I that much more handsome now than I
was in my license? I'm like, is it the scruff?

(03:47):
Is it the glasses? And they're like, no, you don't
have the real ID. Like I thought I had more
time and they're like, nope.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Sorry years.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
And yeah, I wasn't buying into it. I didn't find
the importance.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I think this was a Clinton thing. Yeah yeah, Bill Clinton.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You sure, maybe Ronald Reagan. I prove this and I'm
finally getting around.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
But Bush did it. But like the father Bush, I think.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Give you know it's right because when he told Gorbachev
to tear down that wall, he also said, let's implement
real ID.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I think that.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
When George Bush said, read my lips, no new taxes
and get real ID.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I forget either way.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I know it's been a thing that we had to
get and of course when it comes to crastinating. I'm
a professional guys. So I'm there and I'm like, well
now what so now they basically just got to do
extra security, check on you, pat you down, tap on
the way vols. Now I'm sitting in line like an idiot.
They did let me through. But we've been promoting this
party that we're having. We're doing a Fox Sports Radio

(04:51):
live broadcast in Vegas June twentieth, and we invited everybody.
If you're getting on a plane for that, getting on
a plane for anything, your passport.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Trump's everything.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Trump trumps everything, So at least have your passport on
standby or be responsible, not like Steve Cavino and get
the real ID.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I'm gonna be honest because I traveled too. This is
my first day back on the show for a while.
So I traveled, traveled yesterday and a woman in front
of me didn't have real ID and I completely judged
her completely because she had ten years y.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, but you know, hold on, if you think Danny
g or Sam has real I d I think you're mistaken.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
My money would say the don't.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I think you're mistaken because I've had mine for a
couple of years.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
I've had it for like seven six seven years now.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
As Nixon was announcing his resignation, he said one last
thing before I go, I'm going to start real ID.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Are you sure it.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Wasn't Clinton when he said I did not have sexual
relations with that woman, and get your real I d
I think it was in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
It was actually JFK before he was a.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Se Yo dude.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I felt so dumb, and like I said, here, I
am telling everybody to join us in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Guys, have your real ID. That's your reminder.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Don't be like Steve Cavino and or bring your passport
if you don't have it. But now, when I fly
back from Jersey to Los Angeles after this weekend, you
know I have to get padded down and go through
all the hassles in the hofs because I'm an idiot.
That's why, you know why, Because I'm so dedicated to
Fox Sports Radio, I don't have time.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's why. I mean, it was only part of FDR's
new deal.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I know. Seriously, Spot, why didn't you remind me? I
blame all you guys for not reminding me. But anyway,
get the real ID or bring your passport. If you're traveling,
that's your reminder and get ready to pay for your
bags now in Southwest I know, right, And before we
talk NBA Finals, right and Adam Silver and what he
had to say about it and your thoughts on it.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I want to let you know why I'm in New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
It's not just to eat pizza gain twenty pounds and
Oham sandwiches on standby. It's you to see my family.
It's a great free trip to see my family. But
I'm filming this show on the History Channel. It's my
fourth series that I'm on and it's an existing series,
but it's my first time on this show on the

(07:17):
History Channel.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
America.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yes, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I can't say what it is yet because it's not out,
but I will tell you it has something to do
with great discoveries and fines. So before we get into it,
do you guys have any amazing finds that come to mind?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Because, as I discussed with Spot.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Earlier on our Patreon Cavino and Rich on Patreon, it's
so few and far between you find anything of value.
Find money. How many times in your life did you
find money?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Maybe?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Maybe five times in your life?

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Sounds about right, I found a dollar bill last night
walking out of Ralph's Supermarket.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
But Spot, that's what's crazy about your story. Yeah, you
found a twenty dollars bill. Last time I found a
twenty dollar bill is probably ten years ago.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So like, do you have a great fine that comes
to mind?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Maybe you were rummaging through your grandpa's attic and you
found a sweet baseball card? Do you have a fine
you were thrifting, you were at a garage sale. Do
you have a crazy discovery that comes to mind for you?
As I get ready to discuss this stuff for the
History Channel. That's not exactly what we're talking about, but
it has to do with that sort of stuff. Do

(08:29):
any of these things come to mind for you? Because
for me, I'll let you think about it. Fox Sports
Radio Nation eight seven, seven ninety nine, Oh Fox Everything
at Covino and Rich. I remember finding out that my
uncle's collected baseball cards when they were kids, and there
was rumors that they're in cigar boxes at an old

(08:52):
property that my grandma still owned, and they're somewhere in
the basement.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
If the flood didn't ruin them, maybe they're there somewhere somehow.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Dude, I had my dad drive me to another town
far away to rummage to that stuff.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I found Mickey Manto cards.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I found, Yeah, I found Bob Clemente cards, Old Roberto
Clemente cards, Roger Maris, hey Stan Musual, Hank Aaron's, and
dude finders keepers. Unless, of course it's somebody's wallet and
there's money in it, then do the right thing. But
as a kid in that day, at that time, when
baseball was life and cards were everything, you can't imagine,

(09:33):
or maybe you can, how I felt finding these treasures.
I still have them till this day. So does anything
come to mind for you, guys.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
I'll tell you this much Camino, because I've thought about this.
I don't have any huge finds, but I've thought about
what if I went to a rummage sale and found
something I've seen my TikTok algorithm. I don't know if
it's popped up of like this one picture that had
like a photograph of Billy Kid or something like that
that someone got at a rummage sale, and it's the

(10:05):
I've thought about, what if I went to a rummage
sale and found something of value?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
What I tell the people who sold it?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Dude, it's so funny you say that, dB, because that's
the premise of one of the stories I'm discussing for
the History Channel. It's a moraled limit. They're selling it
for a dollar because it means nothing to them, but
you know it has value.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Do you let them know? What would you do?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah? I think I would have to.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
And this could be a variety of things, especially if
we're talking about like mucho bucks here. I almost feel
like trading cards in a way are fair game because
that's where everybody looks for. But I think that you
would have to, Like if if there was a golf club.
That's another thing that I've seen on TikTok is maybe
somebody's got a putter that was very high quality or rare. Yeah,

(10:51):
and you were able to find that. Maybe it's like
nine hundred bucks or a thousand bucks. Maybe you just
kind of chalk that up and say, hey, this is
you know, this is just a.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Good good find by me. Too bad for them. I
cashed out.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
But if you have anything that I think at least
with a comma in it, that you have to at
least consider going back and saying, hey, this is I
found this at your rubberd sale. I got it for
a buck fifty, but this is actually how much it's worth.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
TB.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
You're a better guy than most and here's how right here. Yeah, Like, YO,
props to you, man, because I think if someone's selling
something for five bucks and it's worth five thousand, those
are the rummage gods shining on you that day. And
here's how I rationalize it. They're selling it for five
bucks because they see no value in it. That's almost

(11:41):
shame on them. But if I find value in that,
and it's not like maybe any personal connection to them,
I think you just offer them a little more like, hey,
you know, I know you're selling it for five bucks.
Here's one hundred. Thanks a lot later. Like that's what
I think you do in that moment, unless there's a
person connection that maybe they should know about if you

(12:03):
have that knowledge. But like Rick from Punt Stars always says,
you're also taking that chance on whether or not it's real.
You still have to get it graded, you still have
to do a lot of the legwork. So it is
a moral question. But based on that and based on
the reason why I'm here, do you have Maybe it's

(12:24):
a sports find, maybe it's something you found in the attic.
Maybe it's something cool that comes to mind, just something
to think about. You can call in, you get us
up on social media at Covino and Rich. But these
moments are so few and far between that, like I said,
when's the last time he even found some cash, It's
probably been a.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Minute a long time, Like there's I mean to go
to a rummage sale. I also think I don't of
you guys feel the same way if you have driven
past a rumberd sale past twelve that all of the
experts have already been there since eight am and have
found anything good. No, I haven't been to a rubbered
sale in years. I would think that any of the

(13:00):
stuff that is that is worth the value has been
gone and been picked over by noon.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
I had an estate sale from my family house last
year in New Jersey, and yeah, they advertise it. People
will line up hours before just to be the first
to get in and do the first pickover of all
the good stuff because they have an eye for that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
You know.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
A spot told me he said he found a ball
with some lady's name on it.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh, Ruth or something, I don't know something. I was like, what, so, anyway,
something to think about, Danny G. Yeah, you haven't found
money or found anything good in the luck time.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
And it's been a while. In high school, I actually
found an old cartridge because we had an electronics rop class.
They were like broken down VCRs and old technology that
they would let us work on. And there was some
machine it was prior to VCRs and I was working
on this thing and old like cartridge popped out of
it and it says super Bowl one on it and

(13:58):
it has like the graphics. I'm not sure if it's
worth money. I've held onto it all these years, but
it's like some old Silicon Valley technology that didn't catch on,
kind of like beta Max.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Well, will you should look into it because it does
have value. I think the NFL network even did something
a couple of years ago where they were able to
splice together two broadcast because there were two networks that
were actually doing Super Bowl one at the time where
they were able to put together like a broadcast of
the game. So it actually, yeah, you may you may

(14:29):
be onto something, Danny G.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
That's wild. Yeah, yeah you should look looked at it.
Look that up. I woua say many stories for you.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Oh, the only thing I can think of happened recently
is finding a single a one dollar bill on the
bench at a bus stop. See what I mean, one
one dollar bill and I gladly took it.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
That's like half your salary, right, It's.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
So few, it's so rare that this happens that when
you see that one dollar bill, you actually look over
your shoulder.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You think you're being.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Punked by somebody, like anybody, is it anybody's But no,
it's your lucky day. Share your stories at Covino and
Rich and again. That's why I'm here in Jersey. I'll
be talking about this sort of stuff. I'll give you
all the details when I can for the History Channel tomorrow.
I'll let you know when that airs. But today, Thursday
is a super dope night. We're gonna be throwing it back.

(15:20):
I'm gonna be hanging with my parents. I'll be ordering
some pizza here in Jersey, be watching Game one of
the NBA Finals. Now, Rich and I we've been debating
this for the past week plus. Rich who's not here,
he's at the Mets game. We're gonna make fun of him.
Trust me, he's real quick and he's not the only

(15:41):
one In fact, I love when he brings it up
because it's sort of the vibe and temperature of society.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
He's real quick to always.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Bring up, man, the ratings are not gonna be that
good man. The networks are gonna hate this matchup. Man,
if it was the Nicks or if someone else was
in it, the finals would be a lot better because
the ratings are really gonna stink.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
And my immediate reaction is always who cares?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Who cares what the ratings are? I never care about
that as far as newsworthy. Okay, I get it. You
want to bring up you know what's hot in the
box office? What are the ratings? It's to me, just
a blip on the radar. It's part of the story,
but it's not the whole story. So when people talk
about the ratings and small markets and no one's gonna
care about okay, seeing the pacers, I always bring it

(16:33):
back to fights because it's always the marquee fights that
let you down, and it's the undercards that tend.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
To bring it a lot.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
The games, the fights, the pitching, matchups that you weren't
expecting to be good, or always the good ones, the
ones that are hyped up or big markets or you know, flamethrowers,
Johnson versus Clemens. It's always turns out to be a dud.
So for me, it's about the matchups. It's not necessarily

(17:02):
the cities, the markets, the marquee names or anything like that. Yeah,
it would have been great for the NBA and great
for ratings if the Knicks moved on.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
But maybe, just maybe.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
And again trying to give you more reason to tune
in tonight, maybe this is the better matchup. You got
two young teams that Hey, maybe not everybody does know
a lot about these teams, But did you know about
the Oklahoma City Thunder when it was a young Harden
and Westbrook and all these young cats coming up?

Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, but you got to know them.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Did you know a whole lot about Steph Curry and
his run with the Golden State Warriors. No, but you
got to know them. Hey, shame on you for not
tuning into the playoffs. But this is your chance to
know these Halliburtons and SGAs of the world. This could
be the start of something dope. And just because it's
not big market teams doesn't mean it's not going to
be a big market matchup. You see what I mean,

(17:56):
like a high profile battle.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Absolutely see your playing.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
And I think that your argument of is this the
start of something big with Oklahoma City is probably the
strongest one that we have out there for people that
only want to watch like the top level stuff. Maybe
it's kind of like your opportunity to hear a band
that's going to make it big right before they make
it big. You want to have that jump on everyone

(18:21):
else that I heard them way before, or I was
at this concert now waiting to the NBA finals, you know,
for them being in the first time, maybe a little late,
but I think that there is something to that, and
this is comno. I've said that I don't feel that
this NBA champion is going to be thought of as
one of the greats, and I could very well be
proven wrong. And I said, you could stack them up

(18:43):
to most of the champs, if not all the champs
in the last forty years of my lifetime at least,
and I think it could be the weakest champion that
we have. But the flip side is the side that
you're talking about. This could be the start of something great,
This could be the start of the run, This could
be the start of you know, maybe maybe it's that
next Spurs dynasty if you will, you know that ends

(19:04):
up running.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
For so long because they do have the ability with
how many.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Draft picks they have and and the maneuvering that they
could do with the flexibility that they have, plus just
having a star like Sga. I think that that's that's
a fair argument for for those that want to that
that like the finals of the past or like that
dominant team, that's a good, good reason why you would
want to.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Watch this and maybe not even just run or start
of something as far as franchise. Maybe it's the start
of a sweet rivalry. Maybe this is the start of
a sweet rivalry two young teams that maybe you don't
know a lot about, but you should have been tuned in.
That's why I always tune in extra for the playoffs,
so that you are aware when it happens. Now, it's

(19:45):
not even about what I think, it's about what you
guys think. Fox Sports Radioation. I do want to get
you involved, but I also want to let you know

of the talking heads, and I'm on there from time
to time, so definitely tuned in. But this particular show
has to deal with things that you find. And Dan Bayer,
you're a better man than me. There was a story
You're like this guy. I want to give props to

(22:50):
this guy. There was a story recently out of Michigan.
Howard Kirby of Michigan bought a couch at a thrift
shop and he felt like it was a little uncomfortable
and he cut open the ottoman and it was forty
thousand plus in cash.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
In the ottoman.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Now, a guy like Dan Meyer is saying that he
would return it. A guy like me is saying, oh, man,
I don't know what I would do, but that's a fine. Yeah,
he tracked down the original owners, and the original owners
didn't realize that their grandparent had stashed away all this
cash money in there, and they took all that money back.
So what would you do and what was your last

(23:31):
great find? We have people on the phone. Let's take
the calls and then we'll get back to the NBA.
Who do we got, Danny G.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Let's start with Tim in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Hey, Tim All, Hey Timmy?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Oh hang on, Oh.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
No, hold on, we can't he Tim Timmy, Tim timrou.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
I will say this, could you know as we get
we connect with Tim. If that guy that found that
automan and said, guess what your family stashed away twenty thousand, you.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Know, took his share off the top and then gave
it back. Yeah that seems reasonable.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, at you're cashing in on half car.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah yeah, man, God bless that guy.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
We could try again. When I first sat down today,
Jay Stu told me the phone might be broken, and
I said, I hope not well.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
And the other reason we bring it up again is
because we su not.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
During that break, Danny G's wife called him up to
tell him that she found twenty dollars cleaning up.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
At the house shut up.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, swear to God, because's so rare you find money.
No one carries money anymore. What was the last great
discovery you made? And was it sports related? Because sometimes
that happens. You're like, you find a glove and it says,
you know, photographed by Carlton Fisk, and you're like, is
this realer?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
What?

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Why is this guy selling it? So? What do we got?
Is tim back?

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, we'll give it a try here all right, Hey, Timmy,
can you hear us? Yeah? I'll get the engineer in here.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
All right, no worries, Let's get back to the NBA
NBA Finals tonight. A lot of people complaining about small
market teams and knows faratu as Sam called them. I'll
blame Sam Casey's listening. Adam Silver was on Breakfast Ball
on FS one and he explains that, hey, why is

(25:26):
this such a big deal? People wouldn't make a big
deal if it were the Super Bowl, if it was
Packers Steelers, no one would care. Why is why's everyone's
painties in a bunch that? It's okc Indiana, you know
what better him than me? Take a listen. If you
missed Adam Silver talking about it.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
We're going to have to go through a process of
getting to the point where people are accustomed to tuning
into the finals because it's the two teams that deserve
to be there and it's the best basketball as similar
to again with the super Bowl. If I asked somebody
they were gonna watch the super Bowl, they wouldn't say
who's playing?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's a national holiday.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
And dude, I gotta back that up too. If the
Knicks are so good, they would have been there. Don't
you want to see the best? Yeah, it's the biggest city.
Who cares they're not the best basketball team. I know
it's more exciting when you got two monsters going at it,
Godzilla versus Kong, But you know what, they weren't the best.
This year you got OKC and the Pacers. Everyone wants

(26:28):
the Monster Movie, but that's for dummies. Really, that's to
appease the casual fan. If you're a real basketball fan,
then don't you just want to see good basketball?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
And I'm here to.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Remind you here's my point in all this. I'm not
here to defend Adam Silver. I'm here to say that
it's a different world we live in. It's a much
smaller place and where you can only live in certain places.
I think I could live anywhere nowadays. I don't think
the market size matters the way it used to. Guess what,
I've never been to Oklahoma City, but I bet you I.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Could live there.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
And I'm from New York and I live in LA.
What's the difference nowadays? In fact, Shaquille O'Neal backs me up,
and I'll explain what he has to say right after
we get to your phone calls.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Who we got Dan? Tim?

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, let's start with Tim in Minnesota? Who needs an engineer?
Spotty came in the studio here head budded the phone,
and I think it's working multi faceted all right. He
does have a bruise on this fort.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
I think the fonds of engineers. Yep, Timmy, what's up?

Speaker 9 (27:28):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (27:29):
So?

Speaker 9 (27:30):
I was in fifth grade, so late nineties, on the
playground found a crumpled old twenty dollars bill. I was
so pumped, but I turned it in and all my
buddies were wondering if I was going to be able
to keep it or if it was getting claimed. At
the end of the day, a guy, one of the
guidance counselors came.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
In and we all gathered around. The whole class was there,
and he said, no one claimed it. Gave it to
me and I opened it up and it was one
of those Jesus tracks and it said, are you disappointed.

Speaker 11 (28:01):
After not going to heaven?

Speaker 10 (28:02):
You'll be even more disappointed in hell.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
That was Hey, you did the right thing. But that
proves how few and far between these great finds happened,
you know, but they do happen, They do happen.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Wait, I'm sorry, what the Jesus? What? What was in there?
It was bait?

Speaker 6 (28:18):
Yeah, so it was like a fake like a little
note in there.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
You ever you ever seen those fake the business cards
that look like money? You pick them up and on
the other side.

Speaker 12 (28:29):
Oh man, hey, thanks twenty dollars went a long way back. Then,
appreciated lunch for a week. Could have got lunch cocatta
lap dance. But no, So who else do we got?
Danny g We're dominating in Minnesota. Let's go there again,
Mike this time?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yo?

Speaker 5 (28:43):
What up?

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Mike and Minnesota?

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Hey Mikey, yep, hey, Mikey, You're are romantic?

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Uh? I was?

Speaker 13 (28:56):
I was at an Applebee's with having some fine dying,
and uh, there's a sign up on the wall that
says I was a millionaire and til my mom threw
away my baseball cards. But then the other one was
So I'm in my garage on Memorial Day unpacking it,

(29:17):
cleaning it up.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
You know.

Speaker 13 (29:18):
We just moved into our house a couple of years
ago and still had some box ox that I had
some college and I opened it up, and what is
in there but two, not one, but two original Nintendos,
one of which works Mike Tyson's punch out Super Mario
Brothers Super Mario Brothers three, which Super Brothers two is terrible,

(29:40):
so I'm happy it's not there. And my PS two
and my Super Nintendo with Mario cards.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Wow, that's amazing, Mike. That was the greatest story I
ever heard. Mike Tans.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
You don't know what I love about that story.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
You know, I love that he calls it Applebee's when everybody,
those Mexicans call it at lebis at lebis is, I
just want to correct them, but go ahead.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
When he was at at Plebys and this all happened.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
I love that this is stuff that we actually that
it became valuable even though we didn't think it was
worth anything at that time. Because baseball cards when you
and I, like in the prime of like eighty seven
to ninety, we thought just like that Appleby's sign and
then Tops and Fleer and Donras, all those cards completely overproduced.

(30:30):
None of them are worth anything whatsoever. But I like
how something from that generation, from our generation is actually
worth something, because if you went through your nineties Tops
or nineties Doners and whatever and got all your Todd
Zeal cards, they're worth nothing.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
But at least where Nintendo stuff is.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, you swore that eighty six Conseco rated rookie was
gonna make you right. Yeah, but yeah, those Nintendo games
the once he speaks of, especially if they were still
in the package, would be worth a hell of a lot.
Thanks for calling. I think we got one or two more,
Danny G. Who else?

Speaker 3 (31:05):
We got a couple more here at Jeremy in South Dakota.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Jeremy, You're on the show is Cavino and Rich with
Dan Bayer and Danny G.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Today.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Man?

Speaker 11 (31:13):
Hey man? What's up? First time caller?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Man?

Speaker 11 (31:16):
Love for you guys' show. Yeah, I'm from Rapid City,
South Dakota. You know right where Mom Rushmore is and
my grade is fine.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
I love South Dakota.

Speaker 11 (31:27):
Walking down the street, walking down the street next to
my junior high So you know how old I am
now I was the first year to go to the
middle school. Situation. Well, I'm walking down the street and
I look over and there's this nice cottonwood tree and

(31:48):
right as it comes up, there is a bo Jackson
nineteen eighty seven rookie card in a sleeve, not a
hard sleeve, sitting in the tree. And I'm like, oh
my gosh, like, what what is going on here?

Speaker 1 (32:03):
So it was the Giving Tree.

Speaker 11 (32:04):
Grabbed the card and I kind of looked around. I
kind of still feel bad because I don't know if
some kids accidentally left it there.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
How do you accidentally leave something in a tree?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
That's the story of the Giving Tree. I want to
go back and maybe get a Mike Schmidt rookie or
something that'd be cool.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
It wasn't tops and it was leaf.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, it right over my head.

Speaker 14 (32:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Leaf was the Canadian Don russ uh.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Let's wrap with Austin or call any way. It was
the most random story. He found a Boat Jackson card
in a tree. Okay, Well, but in Austin.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Hey, Bud, Hey you guys, how you doing doing good?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Man?

Speaker 5 (32:52):
I love to listening to you guys. I just want
to let you know it. I'm in the truck all
day long, and you guys are the best part of
the day.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Man.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Okay, sorry to hear that, but thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
You're welcome.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Yeah, and Sam, don't ever make that celebration sound again.

Speaker 11 (33:09):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Anyway, So I'm between ages of the twelve and fifteen.
My dad works for college over in eastern Oregon, and
I've got free reign of this whole campus. I go
into the gymnasium and there's nobody around, and the Pepsi
machine door is open, and I walk up to it,
look inside and the coin box is absolutely flooded with change,

(33:36):
and I look around. I take the box out, I
go into the bathroom, stuff all my pockets and come out,
put the box back in the Pepsi machine. Nobody around.
I run across the street back into my bedroom and
dump everything out on the bed. I had candy money
for weeks.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Meanwhile, the vendor, which is what my I was just
gonna say that man coming back, He's like, where the
hell's on my quarters. That sounds like a story of
thievery in my opinion. But Jay, great fine.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Would your dad then be going out and kicking ass?
Who are you doing that instead of kissing it?

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, he'd be kicking ass.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Your dad would have been swiping for fingerprints.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, there's a difference between stealing and great fines. But
thanks again for sharing at Covino and Richard, thanks again
for the phone call.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Man.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Now, dB, before we wrap.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Up our discussion on small market NBA finals, because I
got to tell you what Shack has to say about this,
let's get a sweet update from Dan Bayer.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Aaron Rodgers is going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. NFL
Network broke the news that Rogers is going to sign
a one year deal to play in twenty twenty five
in the Steel City, and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette says
that Rogers is expected to sign before mandatory mini camp
begins next week. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is dealing with
shoulder soreness stemming from the shoulder injury that required surgery

(34:58):
last year. Head coach Sheen's Steichen says they don't believe
that surgery another surgery is necessary but that Richardson is
out indefinitely and they don't know if he'll be ready
for the start of training camp coming up July twenty second,
RAVENSND wide receiver Reshot Bateman to a three year extension
with thirty six million dollars with twenty million guaranteed. You
mentioned rich is at the Mets Dodgers game today in LA.

(35:19):
Right now, he's happy his team's up four to three
right now on the bottom of the fifth inning, But
the Mets had a four to nothing lead, and now
the Dodgers are threatening in the fifth inning. The A's
are all over the Twins twelve three in the seventh.
Baltimore leads Seattle for to three of the eighth inning,
while the Giants have a three two edge on the
Padres in the seventh. Finals from earlier today include the
White Sox beating the Tigers in ten three to two,

(35:40):
Cardinals over the Royals in ten sixty five, Blue Jays
outscored the Phillies big time, nine to one, and the
Diamondbacks scored seven times in the ninth inning. They topped
the Braves today by a score of eleven to ten. Finally,
Game one of the NBA Finals is tonight, Pacers in
Thunder tipping off at eight thirty Eastern time.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
You appreciate it, Cavino, Danny g dan Byern Iowa Sam.
I do want to play this clip from Shack before
we take a break, if you don't mind. Iowa Sam again,
just trying to prove that small market teams, it just
doesn't matter the way it used to. What city you
live in, just doesn't matter the way it used to.
You're actually thinking small minded if you think it matters,

(36:22):
if you only want the Knicks and Lakers and all
these big teams in the NBA Finals. This is Shaquiel O'Neil,
the real Shaquille O'Neil, talking about Yannis on Yahoo Sports.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
You know, when I was coming up, it was a
small market. You're too small. You probably need to go
to a big market. I taken of them, But now
every market is the same. Nobody cares what city or
anymore this had the nineties.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Is it a lack of star power? Is that why
people are not interested? I could see that, But you
know what, now it's time to become aware of these names,
these up and comers, because we're gonna see a nice battle.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
I think tonight and.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
We'll take your phone calls in old school win fifty hits.
We do it next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

everybody listening in Fox Sports Radio, Nation Beat Dland eight

(39:03):
seven seven ninety nine on Fox and hit us up
at Covino and Rich me personally at Steve Covino. Do
you know what today is? I mean, I keep thinking
it's Friday, but it's Thursday. But it's not just any Thursday.
It's Sinko de Junio. What's the significance.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I don't know. I'll tell you the significance.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Oh, June fifth, spot nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Think about it. June fifth, nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
I know exactly what happened on that day.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
I know it's gone a little viral. It's Ferris Bueller's
actual day off.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
This is the day he played hooky, kind of like
Rich Davis at the Mets Gate So coincidence. I don't
know if went he went to a Cubs game, right, yes,
and I'm bad you said that spot. We've all seen
the movie.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
If you haven't, Dan Byer, please tell me you've seen
this one.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Oh yeah, it's one of my favorites.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
All right, well then every bad you.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Guys got on my case.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
I think I said that this was my all time
favorite movie, and I then you guys ridiculed before it.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Well, then you'd be happy to hear that. They also
call me the Sausage King, except I live in La
the Tonizo King of La Steve pe right, yes, yeah,
your Steve Covino. Yes, I'm the Steve Cavino snoody. It's
Ferris Bueller's day off. The movie came out, not on

(40:25):
this day. This is the day he actually took off,
and researchers figured it out. Websutes figured out which day
it actually was. Cameron Sloane Ferris. They were all at
the Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are
playing the Atlanta Braves. You hear radio announcers say, Cludel
Washington's at bat, former Yankee, and they figured out that

(40:49):
it was June fifth, nineteen eighty five. The Cubs won
four to two. That was the final score, So it
was an actual game that they were at, so easy
to figure out. Now, that's arguably a lot of people's
favorite what's your favorite eighties nineties teen drama comedy? If
it's not this one, which one is it? Because I

(41:10):
think there's one better than this, arguably better than this.
We take your phone calls next. Cadino and Rich on
