(00:40):
ninety one, the World Wide Web debuted. Now, we didn't

So so I'm gone all September.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, tell everyone beat it, see it. There are so
many great memories from the early days of the internet,
but I don't know about you. You know, when I
was a kid, I cared about sports. I kid about girls.
I cared about baseball cards. When I had those friends
that were into computers, I bet poorly. I was like, yeah,
I don't need to learn that like I was. I
was not the little youngster that was like, let me
(01:48):
learn computers. I was the guy that's like, nah, no, thanks.
Did you ever get an email? I didn't have an
email addressin Dull College. Same and I went to college
in the late nineties. I get my email. I just
to me was like it, I don't know. I bet poorly.
I was like, this ain't gonna catch on. You don't
ended up benefiting me. I took typing in high school
(02:10):
and who knew that would you know, end up benefiting
us because we would be there sitting on a computer
computer for all those years. But I do remember loving
Oregon Trail number and word munchers and you.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Mean orgon trail. What I say, Oregon?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is that how you say no, no Oregon Trail, organ Trail,
Organ trail or Oregon the organ trail trail. All right, well,
let me give you my memories right trail, and then
we'll go to the phones. I was just talking to
Mike who runs this place, you know, Holdstone Mic. Never
heard of him, cold Stone Mic. He was just here
and he brought up something that I was going to
(02:45):
bring up anyway. So I'm like, Wow, more people know
about this than just me in the early or not.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, howd not dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Mike said he got a four point two right going there?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Now it was nine point on that Jersey website with
all the guys with the deep tank.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, what was the name of that one?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, no, but in the early days of like computers again,
worldwide Web started this day in ninety one, but early
computer days I never rooted harder pun intended.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
For my buddy. This is like great school days.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He had a Commodore sixty four, like this is pre
internet though, and you'd be sitting there in your grade
school sweatpants like a pilgrim with the socks pulled up
real high, and he'd be playing Commodore sixty four strip poker,
and dude, I'd be rooting for him to win so
bad because you get some pixelated you know, nudity, and
(03:41):
you're like, yeah, buddy, And Mike said he used to
play that all the time. Well that doesn't dude, you
know what I was like, my buddy had that, I would,
I'd be so like, yeah, come on, let's go. So
the early games, the early websites, now on that same note,
because all these great things are usually used for evil
(04:02):
in perversion. I used to play a game this is now,
this is worldwide Web days. Okay, this is late nineteen hundreds,
early two thousands. There was a game. I bring this
up all the time, Rich, so you know this, I
know this. There was a website called the romp dot
com the romp dot com right, and there was like
an interactive choose your own adventures.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I love that site, man.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So my friends would be sending me like links to
like rotten dot com and banged Up dot Com. I'd
be on the romp dot com right because there was
a game on there and it was called Jake's Booty Call.
And on this game, you remember, right, right, Jake's Boy Call.
So Jake was this guy and he had spiky hair,
and Jake would be at like a club in the
nineteen hundred is like, all right, Jake sees a hot
(04:49):
blonde to the left in a hot brunette on the right,
and you have to make the call for Jake, and
depending on the moves you make is whether or not
you get the booty at the end of the night.
Three days called ja Pooty Call, and it was so
much fun. It was one of my first favorite games
that I played when Internet became a thing and readily
available and accessible to us in the late nineteen hundreds
early two thousands. So on this day, what are those
(05:12):
early games and early websites. Remember when we started our
show fark dot com is where we would go and
get to do all our prep. Yeah, Fark was a
big one.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was a website that consolidated all the main headlines. Cool, yeah,
from all the websites. I remember we would ask Jeeves. Yeah,
poor guy, No one's asking them anything anymore. So what
are those memories for you? I got one because kids,
unless they go into the way back machine online, they'll
never see this stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I got one.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And it's really interesting because during the break, unintentionally, subconsciously,
you said something to me and it hit Sure.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You said, Netflix just announced.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
This is wild.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, Netflix just made an announced. Yo, you know what
you're gonna like this, Ryan, because you're a big gamer.
GTA six gameplay will be exclusively shown on netflit for
six hours, so they're gonna give you an extended look.
You get to watch gameplay of the longly anticipated GTA
system in late August August twenty seventh. Interestingly enough, I
(06:11):
remember my college roommate had a sweet computer set up
and he was into gaming on his computer. This is
I said, like ninety eight ninety nine, freshman in college,
and my roommate introduced me to the original Do you
remember the first ever Grand Theft Auto like the first ever.
Like the graphics like now it's like a you know,
(06:32):
looks like a movie, but back then it was not
complex at all.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was actually so a week but it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You look up the original graphics and you'll be shocked
to be like, oh, that's right, that's what the original
GTA looked like. And I remember thinking like, yo, this
is really cool. So I remember that was a long way.
It's a couple of long hell.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Of a long way.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
So oh that is wild?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Right do you remember now when you look at it, right,
it's two D graphics? So what games were you playing?
What websites were you go into?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Where are your go tos? Think about that because how
often do we even go to remember it was like
the overhead caven. I remember the like that look that GTA? Yeah, yeah,
I do remember that. Let's go to the phones and
say what's up? Yeah, load to get super interactive and
the best call Danny Gill. Decide he'll hook you up
with a summer prize pack of a Covin own rich
Apron and cooozies and some fun stuff.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
It's a grill and Apron that way when you're a
man in the grill, that's right. You can have CNRS
faces yeah, junk gazing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Junk level, that's right, and you could be the man.
So eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Who do
we got Danny?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Let's start n Neil Passo with Jared the Passo.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
What up?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Jared?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Amy?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
So my memories of the Internet back in the nineties
was a dial up sound of an annoying sound that
you would get whenever you were trying to log in
from my go to websites where the Aol chat rooms,
no doubt, wait to get home from high school. I
could not wait to get home from high school so
I can hop into the chat rooms.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Dude, it would be asl age sex location. Let's chat
it up. Who could you, you know, have a conversation with?
Who could you finagle over your place late at night?
Cavino was haunted by that door closing sound effect. How
many people just dissed them? But he's right.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Do you know Big Mike still uses his Aol email?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Betty?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Does?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I bet he?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I bet he still pays too.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
First, I remember, I remember the revelation that I went
over my mom's bills with her. I'm sure a lot
of people as their parents get older, like AOL was
the really we need paying for it? I went over
my mom's bills. I'm like, you're still paying for my
mom was paying for.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
AOL within the last decade.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I saw some comedian do a bit recently. I'll try
to give him props later, but he was something saying
something wrong. Wise, how did they put the Internet on
CD back in the day that you do put the
Internet on CD? Let me tell him the miracle was online.
Let me tell an embarrassing story. I'll call my brother.
He deserves some love and fun make fun of. Once
in a while, I was away at college and I
(08:54):
get a call from my mom. Ritchie, Yeah, what's uping, Mom?
The computer's not working. It's like our first home computer,
like a big gas computer. You know you bought that.
Remember I one had that same like nineteen nineties computer
desk that had like all the shelves to the left
in the right, like it was like the same, the
(09:14):
same exact des desk.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
We all had. And then I had a Hewlett Packard
probably I actually forget.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
The bottom of it had a layer of dust.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, my mom calls me, like, computer's not working, Richie,
I don't know what to do. And at the time,
the move was called the Geek Squad at Best Buy.
Remember like they they had like nerds on standby that
would then't you just have them saved in your phone
as the squad because you were you were down with them,
that rich party with him. So the goon Squad, geek squad,
(09:42):
coon squad comes over the house and.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Sells out my brother. You know what the goon Squad is.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I feel like if we made a movie, like, we
didn't have the rights for the Geek Squad, so we
called it the goon Squad.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
My my mom calls me and she's like, Ritchie, I
want to believe the smut your brother's looking at.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And my mom starts lift listing off all these websites
that my brother was looking to.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Say, a lot of Asian delivery porn.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
My mom's like, the one that we always sad it's
still a family joke. Twenty five years later, she's.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Like, and he looked up some pornography that I had
to do with delivery guys. And to this day, to
this day, like my brother is in his forties, he
can't escape the fact that we're like Jimmy is still
like a delivery let. Us were using it to chat
and to explore things like Rich's brother, and to get
music illegally, the Lime Wires, the Airy Piazaz, the napsters,
(10:38):
spending hours of you know, downloading illegal music and videos
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So, yeah, how did you make your Yeah? I was
gonna say, how you make your mix CDs without it?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
How about before MySpace? Do you remember geo cities?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
But kids, I remember kids in the nineties would build
their own little personal website.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hey, yeah, I do remember that. Yeah, Nadie you mentioned it. Yeah,
I do.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And you know, by the way they're saying, my Space
is coming back. Yeah, so hey, we'll see what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Do we have room for another social media I don't know.
I did like MySpace? All right, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, hot, and they're jumping.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You know, Danny Ryan, anyone want to chime in with Rich?
It's it's definitely hot.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Okay, Let's let's go to up beautiful upstate New York. JP.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Hey, JJP, Hey, how you guys doing.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Hey listen, I was one of the original first owners
of a Commodore sixty four, and then it went to
the one twenty eight and I still got it with
all those games they had, and they were pretty good.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Did you play?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
A friend of mine college he got a job with
AOL when it was brand new and they needed one
hundred people to sign up to be guinea pigs, and
I did. And then, uh, the first search I did
on a search engine was DeLorean because I was in
the car business too, and I wanted to, you know,
the Deloreent came out and guess what came up, John Deloreent,
(11:52):
cocaine arrest. But anyway, when you were mentioning the games,
tears came out of the game called Pong, and you
could buy it from Sears. It was ninety nine dollars
and ninety five cents. I went to the store, I
got the first one that they hadn't stocked. They only
had three, and uh, it was one you put on
your own TV and it was just time. And then
(12:13):
of course the bars came out with the pac Man
and and Space Invaders and things like that, and I
just really, that's.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's pong led right today, I have the twenty six
hundred rafter that this guy, this guy's going old school.
I always found it interesting that even today, you would think,
because everyone's so interested in buying technology and immediately using
it and opening it, you ever noticed that like those
people that have this weird instinct to keep like one
of the originals still wrapped, like the first iPhone, even
(12:44):
the first the first commodoor. These are like million dollar
items now at auctions like un you know, unboxed, unwrapped,
still sealed. You would think that now you would be
buying stuff insane. I'm gonna keep it sealed, but we
still we don't have the instinct to do it. That dude,
he he was old school. He was like one of
the ogs. His you remembers his first search, like, what
(13:04):
do you think yours was?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Although, what was that's name?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
JP?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Only pony?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He was JP at aol dot com? Like he didn't, Yeah,
like wow, what a fun fact. Let's ask him J
first search?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
JP? What was your first email address?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Kay Glenville at aol dot com? And you know what,
I still got it and it was number thirty six
that AOL had.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You know what, I'm gonna feel like we should. I'm
gonna send you a junk shot.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Right now, I'm going to send him a grill and aprons.
That is impressive. That's impressive that he still uses his
old AOL JP hang on the line.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Okay, thank you, buddy. That is crazy to think that
appreciate you. That you know, like every time, you know,
when you try to think of a username and it's
like it's been used, there's someone that has, like Danny
at aol dot com.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That's why so many people have numbers after your name.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is that why you go by Genberger sixty nine, Guenberger
Davis sixty nine. Don't tell everyone my old AOL all right,
so look back at the phone.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, let's go to Terry in Saint Louis.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Back it up, Terry, Hey, Terry, Hey, guys, looks up
Terry here in Saint Louis.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
It's a birthday. Yeah, hey, happy birthday, Steve.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Do you guys remember that website ami Hot or Not
dot com of course.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Where the people who uploaded their picks and you rated
like the girls on a one to ten of course?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely that that was definitely a thing that
was pre MySpace, I think even pre Friends through Days
and yeah, completely remember that one that that's a famous.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
One, yeah, is it?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Why when you watch uh no social or too though,
Like because I worked at a radio station when that
was the thing too. It's like when people started uploading
your photos and other people's photos they worked with, it
was like it became really weird. But if you watch
the social network, isn't it crazy to think that Zuckerberg
was just a college kid that's connected the dots on
all this stuff, like, hey, people are interested. I remember
(14:54):
again not the date ourselves and me in my forties,
I remember going to college and they would hand out
a freshman book of people's pictures, like a Facebook of like, hey,
here's the freshman class so in case you bump into someone,
here is.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Like a you know, essentially like a pre yearbook.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
How about nowadays we're so spoiled with all of the
radio shows having their own YouTube channels. Do you remember
in the late nineties when radio stations first got their
webcams in the studio and you could stream the radio
station audio on your little computershakers.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Their own website.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Finally, you know, you could see who was on the air,
you could see That's when you started seeing these you
know what these idiots looked like for the first time,
you couldn't you couldn't hide behind us. That's handsome, Dan, Yeah,
you couldn't be like, ooh, I'm Hollywood Jackson.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And then you're like, yeah, Lama.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Hollywood Jackson looks like that, right, So everything changed as
a result. Again, if you just joined us the night guy,
I I have a question for you. So Worldwide Web
debuted in ninety one, but of course we had computers
in the eighties. Even in late seventies computers existed. Worldwide Web, however,
ninety one was the first time. Yeah you could access
then we didn't get it at home till the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
We know all that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So we're asking what are those early websites and games
you played on the computer that kids will never know
this day? Were looking up sports, like do you guys
remember like you're like the early like dead Spins, but like,
were there earlier ones that you remember to access sports
back in the day?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I mean I I had an ESPN cell phone. Do
you remember this?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Of course, But I'm like thinking, like, what was your
first Like I'll go check right now. Was it just
our team dot com? Let see Yankees dot com? It's
kind of wild because I don't remember how we would
access that. We were we still like just watching Sports
Center all the time, reading the box sport. That's why
the Sports Center did have more pullback then because you
were waiting. But dB, what do you remember we're looking at?
Speaker 11 (16:46):
Well, I was gonna say, first of all, do you
remember ESPN dot go dot com?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Yeah, like because of the sponsors, so you had to
type in dot go dot com. I remember that, good
buddy Ben Maller would have the gathering of all the stories.
I feel like Ben was you guys were talking about
the fark site or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I like Benmallard dot com.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (17:08):
Benmallard dot com was one of the one of the earlier,
you know, to do something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was like TMZ sports. Did he ever cash it?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
No matter know, No, he said that he was doing
it ten years too early.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh he could. He was the guy that did that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, because later Jason McIntyre, for instance, came along with
the big lead and sold that for a lot of money.
So Ben Maller could have done the same thing had
it been ten years later in time.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
He was no way. That sucks for malor Well, you
know what.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It's sort of like it's like Kevin know and I
joke that good looking women in like the nineties and
two thousands missed out on being like a hot influencerho
had brand deals because there's a lot of good looking,
you know, talented women that that monetized social media. Women
of the nineties and two thousands must hate that, have
they have to? I don't remember how we were accessing
(17:57):
sports information back then. I really don't, honestly. That's why
you've probably watched it. Yeah, probably still just watching it.
That's why I watched ESPN Sports and over and over
and over. Worldwide Web debuted on this day, nineteen ninety one. WW.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
By the way, if you say that now, it sounds
like you're a dinosaur.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Once in a while you'll still hear it and somebody's
commercial and you're like, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, Www, you using Netskit Navigator? What are you using?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Me?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I don't know what do we got. Let's go back
to the phones here. How about Josh and Idaho?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Hey, Josh, Hey, guys, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Hey? I got an early one, early two thousands, kind
of late nineteen ninety nine, but I remember my granddad
got the IMACG three, a big blue one where it
was just like the monitor and the computer was built
into it, and there was an old game on there
called Mortimer. I remember me and my brother playing so
much all the time, and that's just an old memory
I got.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
That's awesome, dude. Like when it came to actual computer games,
I didn't play a lot of them. I'm trying to remember.
You member of your computer would come with like weak
ass games.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's interesting everyone here is roughly around the same age.
If you're in your forties, you have a unique perspective.
I was always a console guy. It's the only generation.
If you were born I would say roughly around nineteen eighty,
you have this unique perspective of growing up without the
internet really at all. Then there were glimpses of it
(19:25):
towards the end of high school, but it still wasn't
a factor in your life. Then all of a sudden,
college soda hit and you made this transition to like
you had an email address, you were looking things up online.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
But we're at nerd stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
But we're a generation that grew up doing book reports
with encyclopedias and microfiche and stuff like that, and then
by the time you're out of college, everyone was using
the computer. It really is a unique perspective because the
generation are kids that we're raising now don't know a
world without any of this, and our parents knew most
of their life without it. The sentiment of some kids
(20:02):
today saying they can't imagine writing a book report, ten
thousand word book report without AI, and the comment back
it was actually one of our listeners was like, we
would write a ten thousand book report without even reading the.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Book let alone. AI. It was a skill. Yeah, it
was a skill to bs you're wearing through that report.
I want everyone to raise their.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Hand if you faked a work sited sheet or bibliography,
what everybody?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
And thank God for Cliff's notes.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Even a man of integrity like you would do a
book report you like, I guess I have to list
these sources.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It taught us how to be they were like faking that.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
At the end, I remember I had a book. It
was an annual tradition. The sugar bowl used to be
at nights on New Year's New Year's Night, and we'd
have to go back to school on the second. I
would have done no homework over Christmas night. So somehow
during the Sugar Bowl, I'm supposed to cram through two
hundred pages of a book. I had a book report
due on like the sixty seven Packers, And while I
(20:59):
my whole book report was just the results, like I
knew that they won. I have no idea what happened
in between. But to the point of of like cheating
and faking. Absolutely, I just wrote what they beat the Bears,
and they you know that to beat the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
How's the skill? Yes?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Absolutely? For sources. Yeah, we would make up fake names
of authors and titles of books that didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Dude, anytime is it true? I mean we all work
in the sports world now, But isn't it funny how
anytime you had the opportunity to do something sports related
for a book report or project.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You would jump at it.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You know, like with you you have to do a
biography and you just Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson like you would.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You would never I didn't want a Magic John.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I did one on Babe Roof. Yeah, when I was
in elementary school.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
All that stuff is that when you realize he was
imaginary or no, no, I thought he was real at
the time PCI. Sorry, so early websites, early video games
that you played on the computer, basically right eight seven
seven ninety nine, O Fox, Well, let's go rapid fire
winners here.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Let's go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Todd Hey, Todd, he fellas Hey.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
First of all, the guy with AOL address is not
telling the truth, because every guy's first search involved the
word boobs.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
He searched delareon I'm nus.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Yeah, and then the next there were two I'm taking
back to computer lab days middle school and high school.
You had to know they were there because they weren't
part of any curriculum. There was a first generation multiplayer
game called Scorched Earth, where you have multiple people shooting
missiles and stuff at each other's castles on all these
different heels. And the other one was a little seedier.
It looked like Mario in a leisure suit. Was called
(22:33):
leisure Suit Larry.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He walked around Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Trying to score right, like wow and everything else.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, that unlocks a memory, Todd, hang on the line,
We're gonna get a great one.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And we worked with a dude at SERA six that
called him his radio name was leisure based on that
great great call Man Great call and some fun memories.
And it is wild though unless our kids the when
you'll see a documentary about this stuff, they'll never really know.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You could tell them about it, but yeah, you know,
they're not going.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To know what it was like, or what it or
the excitement it was for us to experience this.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's hard. It's hard to really grasp something.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
If you weren't there like the same way you might,
you'll never understand what it was really like when JFK
got killed and we landed on the moon. If you
weren't alive, we don't know. You don't you can't really
figure it out or get that feeling.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No, but they'll never know.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Having information, you know, without encyclopedia is on a computer
like that was all new to all of us. Oh,
could I give you an early Internet memory, not a
game or a site, Danny, The idea of someone in
your house picking up the phone all of a sudden
you get kicked off or that was always I think
younger youngsters, as you say, I don't even know if
(23:46):
they realized that you couldn't be on the phone and
the computer at the same time.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
No, you might as well be speaking in French when
you try.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
To America is online. Man, All right, let's go through
it quick.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, we got one more for now then I'm going
to reset all the lines there melting so really good
topic today. Thanks for all the calls. JP, by the way,
call back because of all the phone calls, he's got
a call back in for his prize trip trip in
Vegas right now.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sure trip.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Hey guys, a great conversation. Thank you for my grilling aperns.
I'll send you a picture in me and it just
doing some different type of grilling. Oh, thanks for my
rich will love that.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
And then back in the day, how about Mana Zuma's
Revenge Castle, Wolfenstein? Maybe, uh, Rollercoaster Tycoon? Were games you played?
And of course, asked Jeeves, was the first thing I
really used on a computer?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, that you know.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I think at one point they were trying to revive
Oh no, what it was. It was like a year.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Within the last months.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Asked Jeeves officially shut down first search engine. I believe,
I believe I'm going to Google that right now, but
then it turned into ask But the reality is within
the last two months, Danny, for a fact, I remember
seeing the headline, like, after all these years, they've officially
apparently first internet search engine was something called Archie created
nineteen ninety. But yeah, Jeeves, is this is my first
(25:00):
memory of a go to for sure?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, I remember my mom going to the Netflix website

Otherwise Oregon Trail and Off the Air. Danny g and
I are talking about the early days of like grade
school and Macintosh computers, the logo program where you would
(27:23):
just send her enter commands, and like they were.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Teaching us how to be little computer programmers.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
For I grew up in the East Coast. Danny g
grew up in Silicon Valley, so he had access to
more of these. For a lot of us, it wasn't
the curriculum you had to be in like after school
computer club, and you know, it was some nerd stuff
just to even get your hands on a computer.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
One cool thing is my family was La to the Bay,
back to LA, up to the Bay, back to La
eight different times we moved. But when we were in
the Bay, we'd go into the library at the school.
In the library was sponsored by Macintosh. How cool is
that they had the dopest Macintoshes that were out at
the time. In rows. There'd be like four classes and
they're all doing computer programming, and it would like print
(28:03):
out the image of an apple from all your computer programming.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So nineteen ninety one, on this day, the World Wide
Web began. On this day ninety one, we asked you
the early websites, the early games, the early things you
remember and for now you could either leave us a
comment at coven on Rich FSR or just set us
up at Covin and Rich on social media or at
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Let's go rapid fire.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Then we'll end with some fun NFL stuff and a
quote from Coco GoF tennis star Cocoa GoF, I think
she sums up one of the most controversial sports topics
right now perfectly, and we'll explain.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So let's let's rapid fire.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
All right, Ashton, He's in Downy and socol what I'm in.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
So, my dad was an elementary school teacher when all
this was coming out, and being the kid I got
stuck with my dad. I was at one school with
him where we had those old Macintosh computers with the
ninth like huge floppy disc. And then he got put
in the new school and the new school got sponsored
by I want to say it was IBM, but we
(29:04):
got a whole bunch of the brand new stuff. Windows
ninety five came on them, and I will never forget
playing for hours and hours on the stupid paint program
where you didn't get colors, but you gotta put your
black and white squares in the little box and then
you minimize it and you get all your different color
shades are gray.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That was cool. I remember what you're talking about, Danny.
Interestingly enough, thank you man.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I think I saw a clip on the BuzzFeed or
bunk feed or something where in early two thousands websites.
But I mean it still exists, but now it became
like eye rolling. But back when it was closed feed
to bunk feed because it was a cool website, they
were showing kids and you know they always show kids
old technology, and they're like, what's Yeah, what's this? All
(29:47):
these kids didn't know what at actual disc was.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
To them. It's like it was the real life version
of the save symbol. Oh right, they don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
They don't notice a disc, they know what it's like.
Oh my god, you somehow created.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Say It's like.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
They only saw a little icon.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
To them, Wait, someone made the save icon? How cool?
Yeah that's fine.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
All right, let's go to Missouri. Kyle.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Can you feel that floppy disc in your hand?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, I said disc? All right, who do we got?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What's Kyle?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Kyle?
Speaker 15 (30:20):
This a little bit later, but uh, the first iterations
of fantasy football before the wide adaptation of smartphones, you.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Had to go to ESPN and they did not have
live scoring.
Speaker 15 (30:34):
You had to wait until the next day to find
out how your fantasy football team did, or you could
pay an additional fee and you could get the live scoring.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
See that's that's the OG.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
That's like, uh, that's old school, Dan Buyer and he
was talking to Monsei and there having an update. How well, Dan,
do you remember the OG days of fantasy football where
ESPN had you had to wait to find out how
you did.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
Yeah, I remember watching NFL primetime and filling out some
of the box scores because they would only show the
certain stats of players and then you'd have to fill
it out when the paper came, you know, the next morning.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
But is simply in our lifetime from like very little
games on TV to if you did gamble or play
fantasy sports, you look at box scores the next day,
to now you could be at your kid's game, watching
multiple games on your phone with live updates of every
half of point in fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
It's wild.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
But yeah, we're so spoiled with our access, but we
were okay back then.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
We didn't didn't know any better.
Speaker 11 (31:31):
Certain games didn't make the paper because they were too late.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Dude, We're so spoiled with you know, Wi Fi and
the internet.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
If you don't have your Wi Fi and an airplane
for like ten minutes, you get angry. I just got
back from the East Coast and the Wi Fi it
takes a little while. I was like, so frustrated. What's
wild is you guys grew up on the West Coast,
dB in the Midwest. But Danny, you never lived a
life where you got the newspaper the next day and
some scores are imprinted.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It just said late games.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, dog, I never saw that.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Lake Lake game. Just that you accepted it.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
All right, Let's wrap these calls up a couple more
here North Carolina will Hey, well, all right.
Speaker 16 (32:12):
I've got a couple of points here. Think it back
to nineteen ninety six. I'm in seventh grade, Dude, I
had a fire or Geo City's website.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
He told you of.
Speaker 16 (32:22):
A ton of Chips challenge, Mike Stewart body boarding. I
was before Kelly Slater on PlayStation. And then I got
actually suspended from school for a week because I affected
our entire uh middle school computer lab with a virus
for showing my whole class the White House website before
the DC uh you know, got got you know, fully
(32:44):
adapted to uh to the to the Internet, and then.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Was like, wow, hit your website.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Since you see like a little troublemaker. Let's get this guy,
Let's get this, Let's get this.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Bozo and like them, Will hang on the line. We'll
get just seeing our summer price back. Thank you man, Thanks,

to Dan Bayer for an update.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
We got and Rich up da guys.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Big news in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (33:53):
We'll get to that in the second. But in baseball,
the Cubs were stiming by Dylan Cees today for seven innings.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
The Blue Jay's pitchers druck out ten.
Speaker 11 (34:01):
However, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth
inning and the Cubs trailing to nothing, Alex Bregman came
to the plate with a runner on and the pitch.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Trail in the air. That field down the line. That
bark is going to be a fair ball.
Speaker 16 (34:14):
A fair ball.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That's a home run. That's a home run. The ball
game is tied.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
You heard it land in the basket of Wrigley Field,
and that tied the game up at two apiece on
the Cubs radio network. And then in the bottom of
the eleventh, it's.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Not a ton of turk ice, it's a wild crow
takes to the store cots.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
When the ball game cots.
Speaker 2 (34:36):

Nationals two to one in the bottom of the second
Jimior gives the highest paid running back now in NFL history.

Lines gave him a three year extension.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
We're seventy five point seventy five million dollars a guarantee
of fifty one and a half million, topping the deal
signed by Jon Robinson. Yesterday, Colton running back Jonathan Taylor
agreed to terms on a two year extension. That deal
could be worth up to forty seven million dollars. No
practice for Josh Jacobs and the Packers today set out
with a groin injury well Buccaneers GM Jason light wad
(35:28):
In on Vita Veas trade request.
Speaker 12 (35:30):
Yeah, we love Vita. We've we've been engaged with his
agent recently. Don't want to I don't know how it's
going to end, but we've been engaged and that's that's
at least some progress.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
Well, i'd also said it's a possibility they used the
franchise tag on Baker Mayfield next offseason, despite Mayfield not
getting that extension.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Back to you, Thanks, Dan Byer, have a great night,
but enjoy NFL preseason Hall of Fame game. We'll talk

FSR on YouTube, and of course the NFL kicks off
(37:50):
tonight and we couldn't be more excited just because now
Danny life changes, right, It's just like a life changer.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah about I'm gonna watch quarterbacks at the whole.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Hard Knocks after that, speaking of life changing football, this week,
Chiefs no longer this was a headline, Chiefs no longer
g e h a field.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
They're back to Arrowhead Stadium. Oh yeah, Dan Buyer said that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yes, no, I know, but who ever called it? There
was never that was a field. Never this this this
story is like it's back to Arrowhead. You mean, like,
did anyone ever really make the switch?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's really what I'm getting.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
At, Like how we still call it Staples Center?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, I mean yeah, the sponsor sometimes is more irrelevant,
but they want to Arrowhead. But yeah, a lot of
fun stuff on over promise. But I did say there
was a Cocoa Goff message that I thought was I
really think it was the best she sums up transgender
folks in sports, And I thought this was really interesting
(38:51):
because you know, anytime an athlete to ask these questions,
people are just what waiting for them to say?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
What something they could jump at right. Yeah, and Cocoa
Goff said.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
People are waiting to jump on whatever you're about to say, too, right,
I only got two minutes, That's what I couldn't care less.
But I think, you know, she makes a lot of
good points in a simple statement. It's almost like it
was crafted with chatchipt or something. She says, I understand
the reasoning behind what people are trying to do. I
do think this kind of conversation has created a lot
(39:22):
of animosity towards the trans community, which I'm not a
big fan of. But I also understand the biological difference
and the need to protect and preserve that. So I
think it's a conversation that is very nuanced, and I
need to have a nuanced answer like that. And how
could one answer a question better than that? No one
(39:42):
should be coming down on the trans community, but to say,
but I also think perhaps biological men that are now
trans should not necessarily be involved in women's sports. Can
you give a more polished answer than that.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
No, it's a fair answer, too fair and balanced.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I don't know how anyone can have an opposition to
that answer. So Coco got, Coco got, Coco got for
putting that in chat GPT, I thank you for I
feel like everyone's answer.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
We have that answer in our back pocket and when
it ever comes.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Up and they're baiting everyone and every sport, every sport,
Danny g. You know that at a podium that that
question is being thrown out.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, every athlete's publicist and PR company should have this
on standby.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
And if you don't answer, some people are coward and
if you do, they're like jerk.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
You know, it's who things could be true.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
We always say that, so you know, there's two signs
to this story that are true. But and she hit
both of them. The reality the source matters to some
people just don't like you, Coco. Coco GoF saying this
is like all right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
But you know what, we accept it. I'll say this
she uh. I think.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
I think nuance is the best word. So many people
find the complex issue and it doesn't need to be
trans in sports. It could be anything, right, But so
many times the answer which is not a simple yes
or no or I agree to disagree. Sometimes the answer
is more complex than that, and you take a SoundBite
and it's never gonna truly explain that what you're feeling.
(41:11):
My take from this is, honestly, try to recite and
remember that answer, and you always got one on standby.
I always got it in your pocket. I'm gonna print
that with cocoa goff set and we'll put that on backtime.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Memorize it and have it on standby.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Listen, have a great night, enjoy your kickoff to the
NFL season gets from now until Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
It's on. Let's go until tomorrow until over promise.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
In ten minutes, a Rivendacci baby, see you in the
over Promised land gear.
Speaker 1 (41:36):

(00:40):
ninety one, the World Wide Web debuted. Now, we didn't

to eleven.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So so I'm gone all September.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, tell everyone beat it, see it. There are so
many great memories from the early days of the internet,
but I don't know about you. You know, when I
was a kid, I cared about sports. I kid about girls.
I cared about baseball cards. When I had those friends
that were into computers, I bet poorly. I was like, yeah,
I don't need to learn that like I was. I
was not the little youngster that was like, let me
(01:48):
learn computers. I was the guy that's like, nah, no, thanks.
Did you ever get an email? I didn't have an
email addressin Dull College. Same and I went to college
in the late nineties. I get my email. I just
to me was like it, I don't know. I bet poorly.
I was like, this ain't gonna catch on. You don't
ended up benefiting me. I took typing in high school
(02:10):
and who knew that would you know, end up benefiting
us because we would be there sitting on a computer
computer for all those years. But I do remember loving
Oregon Trail number and word munchers and you.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Mean orgon trail. What I say, Oregon?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is that how you say no, no Oregon Trail, organ Trail,
Organ trail or Oregon the organ trail trail. All right, well,
let me give you my memories right trail, and then
we'll go to the phones. I was just talking to
Mike who runs this place, you know, Holdstone Mic. Never
heard of him, cold Stone Mic. He was just here
and he brought up something that I was going to
(02:45):
bring up anyway. So I'm like, Wow, more people know
about this than just me in the early or not.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, howd not dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Mike said he got a four point two right going there?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Now it was nine point on that Jersey website with
all the guys with the deep tank.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, what was the name of that one?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, no, but in the early days of like computers again,
worldwide Web started this day in ninety one, but early
computer days I never rooted harder pun intended.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
For my buddy. This is like great school days.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He had a Commodore sixty four, like this is pre
internet though, and you'd be sitting there in your grade
school sweatpants like a pilgrim with the socks pulled up
real high, and he'd be playing Commodore sixty four strip poker,
and dude, I'd be rooting for him to win so
bad because you get some pixelated you know, nudity, and
(03:41):
you're like, yeah, buddy, And Mike said he used to
play that all the time. Well that doesn't dude, you
know what I was like, my buddy had that, I would,
I'd be so like, yeah, come on, let's go. So
the early games, the early websites, now on that same note,
because all these great things are usually used for evil
(04:02):
in perversion. I used to play a game this is now,
this is worldwide Web days. Okay, this is late nineteen hundreds,
early two thousands. There was a game. I bring this
up all the time, Rich, so you know this, I
know this. There was a website called the romp dot
com the romp dot com right, and there was like
an interactive choose your own adventures.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I love that site, man.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So my friends would be sending me like links to
like rotten dot com and banged Up dot Com. I'd
be on the romp dot com right because there was
a game on there and it was called Jake's Booty Call.
And on this game, you remember, right, right, Jake's Boy Call.
So Jake was this guy and he had spiky hair,
and Jake would be at like a club in the
nineteen hundred is like, all right, Jake sees a hot
(04:49):
blonde to the left in a hot brunette on the right,
and you have to make the call for Jake, and
depending on the moves you make is whether or not
you get the booty at the end of the night.
Three days called ja Pooty Call, and it was so
much fun. It was one of my first favorite games
that I played when Internet became a thing and readily
available and accessible to us in the late nineteen hundreds
early two thousands. So on this day, what are those
(05:12):
early games and early websites. Remember when we started our
show fark dot com is where we would go and
get to do all our prep. Yeah, Fark was a
big one.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was a website that consolidated all the main headlines. Cool, yeah,
from all the websites. I remember we would ask Jeeves. Yeah,
poor guy, No one's asking them anything anymore. So what
are those memories for you? I got one because kids,
unless they go into the way back machine online, they'll
never see this stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I got one.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And it's really interesting because during the break, unintentionally, subconsciously,
you said something to me and it hit Sure.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You said, Netflix just announced.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
This is wild.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, Netflix just made an announced. Yo, you know what
you're gonna like this, Ryan, because you're a big gamer.
GTA six gameplay will be exclusively shown on netflit for
six hours, so they're gonna give you an extended look.
You get to watch gameplay of the longly anticipated GTA
system in late August August twenty seventh. Interestingly enough, I
(06:11):
remember my college roommate had a sweet computer set up
and he was into gaming on his computer. This is
I said, like ninety eight ninety nine, freshman in college,
and my roommate introduced me to the original Do you
remember the first ever Grand Theft Auto like the first ever.
Like the graphics like now it's like a you know,
(06:32):
looks like a movie, but back then it was not
complex at all.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was actually so a week but it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You look up the original graphics and you'll be shocked
to be like, oh, that's right, that's what the original
GTA looked like. And I remember thinking like, yo, this
is really cool. So I remember that was a long way.
It's a couple of long hell.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Of a long way.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
So oh that is wild?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Right do you remember now when you look at it, right,
it's two D graphics? So what games were you playing?
What websites were you go into?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Where are your go tos? Think about that because how
often do we even go to remember it was like
the overhead caven. I remember the like that look that GTA? Yeah, yeah,
I do remember that. Let's go to the phones and
say what's up? Yeah, load to get super interactive and
the best call Danny Gill. Decide he'll hook you up
with a summer prize pack of a Covin own rich
Apron and cooozies and some fun stuff.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
It's a grill and Apron that way when you're a
man in the grill, that's right. You can have CNRS
faces yeah, junk gazing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Junk level, that's right, and you could be the man.
So eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Who do
we got Danny?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Let's start n Neil Passo with Jared the Passo.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
What up?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Jared?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Amy?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
So my memories of the Internet back in the nineties
was a dial up sound of an annoying sound that
you would get whenever you were trying to log in
from my go to websites where the Aol chat rooms,
no doubt, wait to get home from high school. I
could not wait to get home from high school so
I can hop into the chat rooms.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Dude, it would be asl age sex location. Let's chat
it up. Who could you, you know, have a conversation with?
Who could you finagle over your place late at night?
Cavino was haunted by that door closing sound effect. How
many people just dissed them? But he's right.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Do you know Big Mike still uses his Aol email?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Betty?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Does?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I bet he?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I bet he still pays too.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
First, I remember, I remember the revelation that I went
over my mom's bills with her. I'm sure a lot
of people as their parents get older, like AOL was
the really we need paying for it? I went over
my mom's bills. I'm like, you're still paying for my
mom was paying for.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
AOL within the last decade.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I saw some comedian do a bit recently. I'll try
to give him props later, but he was something saying
something wrong. Wise, how did they put the Internet on
CD back in the day that you do put the
Internet on CD? Let me tell him the miracle was online.
Let me tell an embarrassing story. I'll call my brother.
He deserves some love and fun make fun of. Once
in a while, I was away at college and I
(08:54):
get a call from my mom. Ritchie, Yeah, what's uping, Mom?
The computer's not working. It's like our first home computer,
like a big gas computer. You know you bought that.
Remember I one had that same like nineteen nineties computer
desk that had like all the shelves to the left
in the right, like it was like the same, the
(09:14):
same exact des desk.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
We all had. And then I had a Hewlett Packard
probably I actually forget.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
The bottom of it had a layer of dust.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, my mom calls me, like, computer's not working, Richie,
I don't know what to do. And at the time,
the move was called the Geek Squad at Best Buy.
Remember like they they had like nerds on standby that
would then't you just have them saved in your phone
as the squad because you were you were down with them,
that rich party with him. So the goon Squad, geek squad,
(09:42):
coon squad comes over the house and.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Sells out my brother. You know what the goon Squad is.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I feel like if we made a movie, like, we
didn't have the rights for the Geek Squad, so we
called it the goon Squad.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
My my mom calls me and she's like, Ritchie, I
want to believe the smut your brother's looking at.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And my mom starts lift listing off all these websites
that my brother was looking to.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Say, a lot of Asian delivery porn.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
My mom's like, the one that we always sad it's
still a family joke. Twenty five years later, she's.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Like, and he looked up some pornography that I had
to do with delivery guys. And to this day, to
this day, like my brother is in his forties, he
can't escape the fact that we're like Jimmy is still
like a delivery let. Us were using it to chat
and to explore things like Rich's brother, and to get
music illegally, the Lime Wires, the Airy Piazaz, the napsters,
(10:38):
spending hours of you know, downloading illegal music and videos
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So, yeah, how did you make your Yeah? I was
gonna say, how you make your mix CDs without it?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
How about before MySpace? Do you remember geo cities?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
But kids, I remember kids in the nineties would build
their own little personal website.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hey, yeah, I do remember that. Yeah, Nadie you mentioned it. Yeah,
I do.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And you know, by the way they're saying, my Space
is coming back. Yeah, so hey, we'll see what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Do we have room for another social media I don't know.
I did like MySpace? All right, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, hot, and they're jumping.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You know, Danny Ryan, anyone want to chime in with Rich?
It's it's definitely hot.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Okay, Let's let's go to up beautiful upstate New York. JP.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Hey, JJP, Hey, how you guys doing.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Hey listen, I was one of the original first owners
of a Commodore sixty four, and then it went to
the one twenty eight and I still got it with
all those games they had, and they were pretty good.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Did you play?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
A friend of mine college he got a job with
AOL when it was brand new and they needed one
hundred people to sign up to be guinea pigs, and
I did. And then, uh, the first search I did
on a search engine was DeLorean because I was in
the car business too, and I wanted to, you know,
the Deloreent came out and guess what came up, John Deloreent,
(11:52):
cocaine arrest. But anyway, when you were mentioning the games,
tears came out of the game called Pong, and you
could buy it from Sears. It was ninety nine dollars
and ninety five cents. I went to the store, I
got the first one that they hadn't stocked. They only
had three, and uh, it was one you put on
your own TV and it was just time. And then
(12:13):
of course the bars came out with the pac Man
and and Space Invaders and things like that, and I
just really, that's.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's pong led right today, I have the twenty six
hundred rafter that this guy, this guy's going old school.
I always found it interesting that even today, you would think,
because everyone's so interested in buying technology and immediately using
it and opening it, you ever noticed that like those
people that have this weird instinct to keep like one
of the originals still wrapped, like the first iPhone, even
(12:44):
the first the first commodoor. These are like million dollar
items now at auctions like un you know, unboxed, unwrapped,
still sealed. You would think that now you would be
buying stuff insane. I'm gonna keep it sealed, but we
still we don't have the instinct to do it. That dude,
he he was old school. He was like one of
the ogs. His you remembers his first search, like, what
(13:04):
do you think yours was?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Although, what was that's name?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
JP?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Only pony?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He was JP at aol dot com? Like he didn't, Yeah,
like wow, what a fun fact. Let's ask him J
first search?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
JP? What was your first email address?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Kay Glenville at aol dot com? And you know what,
I still got it and it was number thirty six
that AOL had.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You know what, I'm gonna feel like we should. I'm
gonna send you a junk shot.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Right now, I'm going to send him a grill and aprons.
That is impressive. That's impressive that he still uses his
old AOL JP hang on the line.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Okay, thank you, buddy. That is crazy to think that
appreciate you. That you know, like every time, you know,
when you try to think of a username and it's
like it's been used, there's someone that has, like Danny
at aol dot com.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That's why so many people have numbers after your name.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is that why you go by Genberger sixty nine, Guenberger
Davis sixty nine. Don't tell everyone my old AOL all right,
so look back at the phone.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, let's go to Terry in Saint Louis.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Back it up, Terry, Hey, Terry, Hey, guys, looks up
Terry here in Saint Louis.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
It's a birthday. Yeah, hey, happy birthday, Steve.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Do you guys remember that website ami Hot or Not
dot com of course.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Where the people who uploaded their picks and you rated
like the girls on a one to ten of course?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely that that was definitely a thing that
was pre MySpace, I think even pre Friends through Days
and yeah, completely remember that one that that's a famous.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
One, yeah, is it?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Why when you watch uh no social or too though,
Like because I worked at a radio station when that
was the thing too. It's like when people started uploading
your photos and other people's photos they worked with, it
was like it became really weird. But if you watch
the social network, isn't it crazy to think that Zuckerberg
was just a college kid that's connected the dots on
all this stuff, like, hey, people are interested. I remember
(14:54):
again not the date ourselves and me in my forties,
I remember going to college and they would hand out
a freshman book of people's pictures, like a Facebook of like, hey,
here's the freshman class so in case you bump into someone,
here is.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Like a you know, essentially like a pre yearbook.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
How about nowadays we're so spoiled with all of the
radio shows having their own YouTube channels. Do you remember
in the late nineties when radio stations first got their
webcams in the studio and you could stream the radio
station audio on your little computershakers.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Their own website.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Finally, you know, you could see who was on the air,
you could see That's when you started seeing these you
know what these idiots looked like for the first time,
you couldn't you couldn't hide behind us. That's handsome, Dan, Yeah,
you couldn't be like, ooh, I'm Hollywood Jackson.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And then you're like, yeah, Lama.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Hollywood Jackson looks like that, right, So everything changed as
a result. Again, if you just joined us the night guy,
I I have a question for you. So Worldwide Web
debuted in ninety one, but of course we had computers
in the eighties. Even in late seventies computers existed. Worldwide Web, however,
ninety one was the first time. Yeah you could access
then we didn't get it at home till the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
We know all that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So we're asking what are those early websites and games
you played on the computer that kids will never know
this day? Were looking up sports, like do you guys
remember like you're like the early like dead Spins, but like,
were there earlier ones that you remember to access sports
back in the day?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I mean I I had an ESPN cell phone. Do
you remember this?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Of course, But I'm like thinking, like, what was your
first Like I'll go check right now. Was it just
our team dot com? Let see Yankees dot com? It's
kind of wild because I don't remember how we would
access that. We were we still like just watching Sports
Center all the time, reading the box sport. That's why
the Sports Center did have more pullback then because you
were waiting. But dB, what do you remember we're looking at?
Speaker 11 (16:46):
Well, I was gonna say, first of all, do you
remember ESPN dot go dot com?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Yeah, like because of the sponsors, so you had to
type in dot go dot com. I remember that, good
buddy Ben Maller would have the gathering of all the stories.
I feel like Ben was you guys were talking about
the fark site or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I like Benmallard dot com.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (17:08):
Benmallard dot com was one of the one of the earlier,
you know, to do something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was like TMZ sports. Did he ever cash it?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
No matter know, No, he said that he was doing
it ten years too early.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh he could. He was the guy that did that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, because later Jason McIntyre, for instance, came along with
the big lead and sold that for a lot of money.
So Ben Maller could have done the same thing had
it been ten years later in time.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
He was no way. That sucks for malor Well, you
know what.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It's sort of like it's like Kevin know and I
joke that good looking women in like the nineties and
two thousands missed out on being like a hot influencerho
had brand deals because there's a lot of good looking,
you know, talented women that that monetized social media. Women
of the nineties and two thousands must hate that, have
they have to? I don't remember how we were accessing
(17:57):
sports information back then. I really don't, honestly. That's why
you've probably watched it. Yeah, probably still just watching it.
That's why I watched ESPN Sports and over and over
and over. Worldwide Web debuted on this day, nineteen ninety one. WW.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
By the way, if you say that now, it sounds
like you're a dinosaur.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Once in a while you'll still hear it and somebody's
commercial and you're like, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, Www, you using Netskit Navigator? What are you using?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Me?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I don't know what do we got. Let's go back
to the phones here. How about Josh and Idaho?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Hey, Josh, Hey, guys, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Hey? I got an early one, early two thousands, kind
of late nineteen ninety nine, but I remember my granddad
got the IMACG three, a big blue one where it
was just like the monitor and the computer was built
into it, and there was an old game on there
called Mortimer. I remember me and my brother playing so
much all the time, and that's just an old memory
I got.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
That's awesome, dude. Like when it came to actual computer games,
I didn't play a lot of them. I'm trying to remember.
You member of your computer would come with like weak
ass games.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's interesting everyone here is roughly around the same age.
If you're in your forties, you have a unique perspective.
I was always a console guy. It's the only generation.
If you were born I would say roughly around nineteen eighty,
you have this unique perspective of growing up without the
internet really at all. Then there were glimpses of it
(19:25):
towards the end of high school, but it still wasn't
a factor in your life. Then all of a sudden,
college soda hit and you made this transition to like
you had an email address, you were looking things up online.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
But we're at nerd stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
But we're a generation that grew up doing book reports
with encyclopedias and microfiche and stuff like that, and then
by the time you're out of college, everyone was using
the computer. It really is a unique perspective because the
generation are kids that we're raising now don't know a
world without any of this, and our parents knew most
of their life without it. The sentiment of some kids
(20:02):
today saying they can't imagine writing a book report, ten
thousand word book report without AI, and the comment back
it was actually one of our listeners was like, we
would write a ten thousand book report without even reading the.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Book let alone. AI. It was a skill. Yeah, it
was a skill to bs you're wearing through that report.
I want everyone to raise their.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Hand if you faked a work sited sheet or bibliography,
what everybody?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
And thank God for Cliff's notes.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Even a man of integrity like you would do a
book report you like, I guess I have to list
these sources.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It taught us how to be they were like faking that.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
At the end, I remember I had a book. It
was an annual tradition. The sugar bowl used to be
at nights on New Year's New Year's Night, and we'd
have to go back to school on the second. I
would have done no homework over Christmas night. So somehow
during the Sugar Bowl, I'm supposed to cram through two
hundred pages of a book. I had a book report
due on like the sixty seven Packers, And while I
(20:59):
my whole book report was just the results, like I
knew that they won. I have no idea what happened
in between. But to the point of of like cheating
and faking. Absolutely, I just wrote what they beat the Bears,
and they you know that to beat the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
How's the skill? Yes?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Absolutely? For sources. Yeah, we would make up fake names
of authors and titles of books that didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Dude, anytime is it true? I mean we all work
in the sports world now, But isn't it funny how
anytime you had the opportunity to do something sports related
for a book report or project.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You would jump at it.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You know, like with you you have to do a
biography and you just Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson like you would.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You would never I didn't want a Magic John.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I did one on Babe Roof. Yeah, when I was
in elementary school.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
All that stuff is that when you realize he was
imaginary or no, no, I thought he was real at
the time PCI. Sorry, so early websites, early video games
that you played on the computer, basically right eight seven
seven ninety nine, O Fox, Well, let's go rapid fire
winners here.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Let's go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Todd Hey, Todd, he fellas Hey.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
First of all, the guy with AOL address is not
telling the truth, because every guy's first search involved the
word boobs.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
He searched delareon I'm nus.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Yeah, and then the next there were two I'm taking
back to computer lab days middle school and high school.
You had to know they were there because they weren't
part of any curriculum. There was a first generation multiplayer
game called Scorched Earth, where you have multiple people shooting
missiles and stuff at each other's castles on all these
different heels. And the other one was a little seedier.
It looked like Mario in a leisure suit. Was called
(22:33):
leisure Suit Larry.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He walked around Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Trying to score right, like wow and everything else.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, that unlocks a memory, Todd, hang on the line,
We're gonna get a great one.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And we worked with a dude at SERA six that
called him his radio name was leisure based on that
great great call Man Great call and some fun memories.
And it is wild though unless our kids the when
you'll see a documentary about this stuff, they'll never really know.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You could tell them about it, but yeah, you know,
they're not going.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To know what it was like, or what it or
the excitement it was for us to experience this.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's hard. It's hard to really grasp something.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
If you weren't there like the same way you might,
you'll never understand what it was really like when JFK
got killed and we landed on the moon. If you
weren't alive, we don't know. You don't you can't really
figure it out or get that feeling.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No, but they'll never know.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Having information, you know, without encyclopedia is on a computer
like that was all new to all of us. Oh,
could I give you an early Internet memory, not a
game or a site, Danny, The idea of someone in
your house picking up the phone all of a sudden
you get kicked off or that was always I think
younger youngsters, as you say, I don't even know if
(23:46):
they realized that you couldn't be on the phone and
the computer at the same time.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
No, you might as well be speaking in French when
you try.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
To America is online. Man, All right, let's go through
it quick.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, we got one more for now then I'm going
to reset all the lines there melting so really good
topic today. Thanks for all the calls. JP, by the way,
call back because of all the phone calls, he's got
a call back in for his prize trip trip in
Vegas right now.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sure trip.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Hey guys, a great conversation. Thank you for my grilling aperns.

rich will love that.
Speaker 12 (24:21):

Speaker 10 (24:21):
And then back in the day, how about Mana Zuma's
Revenge Castle, Wolfenstein? Maybe, uh, Rollercoaster Tycoon? Were games you played?
And of course, asked Jeeves, was the first thing I
really used on a computer?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, that you know.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I think at one point they were trying to revive
Oh no, what it was. It was like a year.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Within the last months.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Asked Jeeves officially shut down first search engine. I believe,
I believe I'm going to Google that right now, but
then it turned into ask But the reality is within
the last two months, Danny, for a fact, I remember
seeing the headline, like, after all these years, they've officially
apparently first internet search engine was something called Archie created
nineteen ninety. But yeah, Jeeves, is this is my first
(25:00):
memory of a go to for sure?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, I remember my mom going to the Netflix website

Otherwise Oregon Trail and Off the Air. Danny g and
I are talking about the early days of like grade
school and Macintosh computers, the logo program where you would
(27:23):
just send her enter commands, and like they were.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Teaching us how to be little computer programmers.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
For I grew up in the East Coast. Danny g
grew up in Silicon Valley, so he had access to
more of these. For a lot of us, it wasn't
the curriculum you had to be in like after school
computer club, and you know, it was some nerd stuff
just to even get your hands on a computer.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
One cool thing is my family was La to the Bay,
back to LA, up to the Bay, back to La
eight different times we moved. But when we were in
the Bay, we'd go into the library at the school.
In the library was sponsored by Macintosh. How cool is
that they had the dopest Macintoshes that were out at
the time. In rows. There'd be like four classes and
they're all doing computer programming, and it would like print
(28:03):
out the image of an apple from all your computer programming.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So nineteen ninety one, on this day, the World Wide
Web began. On this day ninety one, we asked you
the early websites, the early games, the early things you
remember and for now you could either leave us a
comment at coven on Rich FSR or just set us
up at Covin and Rich on social media or at
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Let's go rapid fire.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Then we'll end with some fun NFL stuff and a
quote from Coco GoF tennis star Cocoa GoF, I think
she sums up one of the most controversial sports topics
right now perfectly, and we'll explain.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So let's let's rapid fire.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
All right, Ashton, He's in Downy and socol what I'm in.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
So, my dad was an elementary school teacher when all
this was coming out, and being the kid I got
stuck with my dad. I was at one school with
him where we had those old Macintosh computers with the
ninth like huge floppy disc. And then he got put
in the new school and the new school got sponsored
by I want to say it was IBM, but we
(29:04):
got a whole bunch of the brand new stuff. Windows
ninety five came on them, and I will never forget
playing for hours and hours on the stupid paint program
where you didn't get colors, but you gotta put your
black and white squares in the little box and then
you minimize it and you get all your different color
shades are gray.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That was cool. I remember what you're talking about, Danny.
Interestingly enough, thank you man.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I think I saw a clip on the BuzzFeed or
bunk feed or something where in early two thousands websites.
But I mean it still exists, but now it became
like eye rolling. But back when it was closed feed
to bunk feed because it was a cool website, they
were showing kids and you know they always show kids
old technology, and they're like, what's Yeah, what's this? All
(29:47):
these kids didn't know what at actual disc was.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
To them. It's like it was the real life version
of the save symbol. Oh right, they don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
They don't notice a disc, they know what it's like.
Oh my god, you somehow created.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Say It's like.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
They only saw a little icon.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
To them, Wait, someone made the save icon? How cool?
Yeah that's fine.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
All right, let's go to Missouri. Kyle.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Can you feel that floppy disc in your hand?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, I said disc? All right, who do we got?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What's Kyle?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Kyle?
Speaker 15 (30:20):
This a little bit later, but uh, the first iterations
of fantasy football before the wide adaptation of smartphones, you.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Had to go to ESPN and they did not have
live scoring.
Speaker 15 (30:34):
You had to wait until the next day to find
out how your fantasy football team did, or you could
pay an additional fee and you could get the live scoring.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
See that's that's the OG.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
That's like, uh, that's old school, Dan Buyer and he
was talking to Monsei and there having an update. How well, Dan,
do you remember the OG days of fantasy football where
ESPN had you had to wait to find out how
you did.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
Yeah, I remember watching NFL primetime and filling out some
of the box scores because they would only show the
certain stats of players and then you'd have to fill
it out when the paper came, you know, the next morning.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
But is simply in our lifetime from like very little
games on TV to if you did gamble or play
fantasy sports, you look at box scores the next day,
to now you could be at your kid's game, watching
multiple games on your phone with live updates of every
half of point in fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
It's wild.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
But yeah, we're so spoiled with our access, but we
were okay back then.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
We didn't didn't know any better.
Speaker 11 (31:31):
Certain games didn't make the paper because they were too late.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Dude, We're so spoiled with you know, Wi Fi and
the internet.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
If you don't have your Wi Fi and an airplane
for like ten minutes, you get angry. I just got
back from the East Coast and the Wi Fi it
takes a little while. I was like, so frustrated. What's
wild is you guys grew up on the West Coast,
dB in the Midwest. But Danny, you never lived a
life where you got the newspaper the next day and
some scores are imprinted.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It just said late games.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, dog, I never saw that.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Lake Lake game. Just that you accepted it.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
All right, Let's wrap these calls up a couple more
here North Carolina will Hey, well, all right.
Speaker 16 (32:12):
I've got a couple of points here. Think it back
to nineteen ninety six. I'm in seventh grade, Dude, I
had a fire or Geo City's website.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
He told you of.
Speaker 16 (32:22):
A ton of Chips challenge, Mike Stewart body boarding. I
was before Kelly Slater on PlayStation. And then I got
actually suspended from school for a week because I affected
our entire uh middle school computer lab with a virus
for showing my whole class the White House website before
the DC uh you know, got got you know, fully
(32:44):
adapted to uh to the to the Internet, and then.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Was like, wow, hit your website.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Since you see like a little troublemaker. Let's get this guy,
Let's get this, Let's get this.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Bozo and like them, Will hang on the line. We'll
get just seeing our summer price back. Thank you man, Thanks,
well that was awesome. Well Will's causing trouble back then?
All right, and before we get to DB's update here

All right, thank you, Colin Hank Tight and let's go
to Dan Bayer for an update.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
We got and Rich up da guys.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Big news in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (33:53):
We'll get to that in the second. But in baseball,
the Cubs were stiming by Dylan Cees today for seven innings.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
The Blue Jay's pitchers druck out ten.
Speaker 11 (34:01):
However, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth
inning and the Cubs trailing to nothing, Alex Bregman came
to the plate with a runner on and the pitch.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Trail in the air. That field down the line. That
bark is going to be a fair ball.
Speaker 16 (34:14):
A fair ball.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That's a home run. That's a home run. The ball
game is tied.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
You heard it land in the basket of Wrigley Field,
and that tied the game up at two apiece on
the Cubs radio network. And then in the bottom of
the eleventh, it's.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Not a ton of turk ice, it's a wild crow
takes to the store cots.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
When the ball game cots.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
When Crow Armstrong, he's making a case for MVP.
Speaker 11 (34:41):
Really is They scored another run.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
It was the game winner.
Speaker 11 (34:44):
Three to two was the final again Cubs Radio Network

today five to two, Angels dropped the Orioles four to one.
Rich Your Mets beat the Guardians thirteen to six, and
the Reds got past the A's at six to five.
Tiger's taking it to the Mariners right now in the
ninth inning eight to nothing. Phillies up early on the
Nationals two to one in the bottom of the second
Jimior gives the highest paid running back now in NFL history.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Lines gave him a three year extension.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
We're seventy five point seventy five million dollars a guarantee
of fifty one and a half million, topping the deal
signed by Jon Robinson. Yesterday, Colton running back Jonathan Taylor
agreed to terms on a two year extension. That deal
could be worth up to forty seven million dollars. No
practice for Josh Jacobs and the Packers today set out
with a groin injury well Buccaneers GM Jason light wad
(35:28):
In on Vita Veas trade request.
Speaker 12 (35:30):
Yeah, we love Vita. We've we've been engaged with his
agent recently. Don't want to I don't know how it's
going to end, but we've been engaged and that's that's
at least some progress.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
Well, i'd also said it's a possibility they used the
franchise tag on Baker Mayfield next offseason, despite Mayfield not
getting that extension.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Back to you, Thanks, Dan Byer, have a great night,
but enjoy NFL preseason Hall of Fame game. We'll talk

FSR on YouTube, and of course the NFL kicks off
(37:50):
tonight and we couldn't be more excited just because now
Danny life changes, right, It's just like a life changer.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah about I'm gonna watch quarterbacks at the whole.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Hard Knocks after that, speaking of life changing football, this week,
Chiefs no longer this was a headline, Chiefs no longer
g e h a field.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
They're back to Arrowhead Stadium. Oh yeah, Dan Buyer said that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yes, no, I know, but who ever called it? There
was never that was a field. Never this this this
story is like it's back to Arrowhead. You mean, like,
did anyone ever really make the switch?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's really what I'm getting.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
At, Like how we still call it Staples Center?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, I mean yeah, the sponsor sometimes is more irrelevant,
but they want to Arrowhead. But yeah, a lot of
fun stuff on over promise. But I did say there
was a Cocoa Goff message that I thought was I
really think it was the best she sums up transgender
folks in sports, And I thought this was really interesting
(38:51):
because you know, anytime an athlete to ask these questions,
people are just what waiting for them to say?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
What something they could jump at right. Yeah, and Cocoa
Goff said.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
People are waiting to jump on whatever you're about to say, too, right,
I only got two minutes, That's what I couldn't care less.
But I think, you know, she makes a lot of
good points in a simple statement. It's almost like it
was crafted with chatchipt or something. She says, I understand
the reasoning behind what people are trying to do. I
do think this kind of conversation has created a lot
(39:22):
of animosity towards the trans community, which I'm not a
big fan of. But I also understand the biological difference
and the need to protect and preserve that. So I
think it's a conversation that is very nuanced, and I
need to have a nuanced answer like that. And how
could one answer a question better than that? No one
(39:42):
should be coming down on the trans community, but to say,
but I also think perhaps biological men that are now
trans should not necessarily be involved in women's sports. Can
you give a more polished answer than that.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
No, it's a fair answer, too fair and balanced.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I don't know how anyone can have an opposition to
that answer. So Coco got, Coco got, Coco got for
putting that in chat GPT, I thank you for I
feel like everyone's answer.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
We have that answer in our back pocket and when
it ever comes.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Up and they're baiting everyone and every sport, every sport,
Danny g. You know that at a podium that that
question is being thrown out.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, every athlete's publicist and PR company should have this
on standby.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
And if you don't answer, some people are coward and
if you do, they're like jerk.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
You know, it's who things could be true.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
We always say that, so you know, there's two signs
to this story that are true. But and she hit
both of them. The reality the source matters to some
people just don't like you, Coco. Coco GoF saying this
is like all right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
But you know what, we accept it. I'll say this
she uh. I think.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
I think nuance is the best word. So many people
find the complex issue and it doesn't need to be
trans in sports. It could be anything, right, But so
many times the answer which is not a simple yes
or no or I agree to disagree. Sometimes the answer
is more complex than that, and you take a SoundBite
and it's never gonna truly explain that what you're feeling.
(41:11):
My take from this is, honestly, try to recite and
remember that answer, and you always got one on standby.
I always got it in your pocket. I'm gonna print
that with cocoa goff set and we'll put that on backtime.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Memorize it and have it on standby.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Listen, have a great night, enjoy your kickoff to the
NFL season gets from now until Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
It's on. Let's go until tomorrow until over promise.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
In ten minutes, a Rivendacci baby, see you in the
over Promised land gear.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Bye. All right, let's go later.
