(01:05):
CNR on FSR live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio. Okay,
so I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis, Dandy g
Sam and Byer. And before we take your phone calls
because we get you involved right now at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Can I shamelessly promote two things.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Tonight on the History Channel brand new episode of Mysteries Unearthed,
and I think I'm on it and ask me to
promote it, and I want you to see me, so
check it out. I posted a clip, so please like
my clip at Steve Covino. And while you're on the
IG and TikTok at Steve Covino, I posted a picture
of me with my original mister Potato Head. It looks
(01:43):
like it's from like nineteen sixty something. It's so gross.
I'm how old it looks. The picture looks like. But
she was like the early eighties. Covina looks like you's
seventy five years old. You look like you were a
child when it was black and white film. But dude,
everybody had a mister Potato Head?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Am I right? Nours? Of course?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
In fact, the late great Don Rickle played mister potato
Head on the Toy Story movies. I'm a marriage put
single fellas all right, so you could see me my
OG original mister potato Head at Steve Covino, and everyone
took the glasses of the lips and you put them
on your own face. But on this day in nineteen
(02:19):
fifty two, mister potato Head became the first toy ever
advertised on TV. And if you see the original commercial
as wild because like Rich said, it was just a
potato and you were supposed to put the nose and
the eyes on a real potato.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It looked creepy as could be.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You ever see like you ever see someone with really
old school creepy like Santa Claus decorations back in the
day for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
This is like the Easter Bunny from the fifties or forties.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Like like, yeah, your parents' Easter Bunny was like just
a creepy rabbit.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The OG nineteen fifty two potato Head commercial, mister potato head,
it was really like I said, the eyes, the mouth
and the ears. And some people put it on like
a like a skinny sweet potato like ay, some put
it on a like just a regular potato, it looks creepy,
and the voiceovers Grace, this is all old school like
brought to you by Hasbro.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, Hasbro shit introducing shee a hand. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So on that note, and based on that thought, I
think we all had one. But what were where were
the toys or or even items, merchandise whatever that you
always wanted that you never got, right?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
What are those toys? I got too?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And they still bothered me to this day because then
you often battle too, like, well, I'm an adult, can
I go and find it on eBay? Just to fulfill
my childhood dreams? I did what you just inside?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Really?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, because it's always that question. Let me let me
hit you with it. And I was disappointed and my
parents were probably right. And it wasn't the animal. I
did get that, the worst remote control car ever. Yeah,
an the animal put anything off then and the claws
would come out of the tires. My parents did get that.
So that's not on my list. But did you return it?
Because it sucked what my parents wouldn't get me? When
(03:59):
I was a grown man, I got one like in
like a weird like that wasn't spiteful, but it was like,
oh well now I so badly wanted a Snoopy snow
cone machine. Oh yeah, And I remember my parents being like,
it's stupid, Richie, it just grinds ice.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm like snowcone and my parents like, just so, it's stupid. Yeah,
I got my mom. That was her answer for every
toy commercial.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's stupid, that's stupid kids, kind of like stupid day.
My kids don't care, they just want it. Oh but
that's just for LOSAs. My just wants it. And Mom
were like, no, it's it's what is it? It grinds
up ice and no, you don't need we don't need that.
I have to be honest. I loved my Snoopy Soaco machine.
I did, but you're right, it didn't work the way
(04:41):
it was advertised. None of the stuff did that we
had growing up. For me, it was my pet monster.
Always wanted it, never got it. Remember that weird looking
monster with the handcuffs, Like, oh, I want my pet monster.
And I sort of grew out of it, I guess,
I don't know. Never no one ever bought it from me.
But I was a spoiled little a hole, so I
(05:02):
had most.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Things of designer jeans.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I had a lot yeah, I was. I was spoiled, dude.
I had so many Nintendo games. I was so spoiled,
and I was.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was not.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I lived a great little childhood. But I'll give you
an example, Danny. If we went to a game on
the circus whatever was in town at Nassau Coliseum or
Madison Square Garden in New York, no way on planet
Earth would my family buy me cotton candy every time.
I'm like, Jeff, can't believe cotton never like I feel
like sugar.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's just sugar melts in your mouth. Exactly your mom.
I feel like they have the same play.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You know what happens parents over correct now, now rich
by All, you know all the kids in his section
cotton candy.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He's the concady man.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know the the toy car tracks and we used
to see all the cool team with a gun.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And had that hot burning smell.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, my older brother and I we wanted those cars
so badly. And my mom's like, no, no, no, no,
that those are made cheaply. She had a story for everything.
The one thing we bugged her the most for though,
Castle Grayschool, actual Castle. I had a he man and
I wanted that Castle so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I' still one of the only things I still have
my parents ad. I'm sorry to tell you, Danny, I
had one.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I also had Snake Mountain and it came with a
little microphone. That's how he started his broadcast. It was
my first broadcast was from Live from Snake Mountain.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
It wasn't just the toy commercials. I wanted the Magic
Johnson purple and golden white Converse weapon yes, so bad.
And of course they came out in the mid late
eighties with the Larry Bird Magic Johnson commercial where they
were dueling against each other and those Converse I wanted
those shoes.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'm that note. Man. I'll never forget this. I was
at Bamburger's.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
This is like Macy's before Macy's, right, So I'm a
little kid and this is timely and it's one of
the only things I didn't get because I tell you,
I was pretty spoiled. And I don't take any pride
in saying that. I don't think it got to my head.
I don't think I'm the worst guy ever, but I
try not to be.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
But anyway, didn't get this.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm curious what Danny's mom would have approved of. Him
in terms of toys, like what did she sign off on?
She was like, no, that's stupid, that's poorly made. What
did she actually think was like quality?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Got a water gun?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
She got me a big wheel. It was a Darth
Vader big wheel. That was her cool though made in America,
quality made.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So I was at Bamburger's with my mom and my
grandma and dude, I saw what I thought was the
coolest thing that ever was, and till this day, I
still think it is. It was the Michael Jackson like
thriller jacket, but there was also like the beaded jacket
they read, you.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Know, the red leather.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I remember what they had him at the store, and
Michael Jackson was everything and you could see why based
on the box office numbers right. And I remember this
is one of my only moments. I was crying because
they wouldn't get it from me. I'm like, oh, the
jacket didn't get it, never got it, man. But if
you can get a sequence glove or that jacket back then,
(07:56):
you were the coolest kid going. The funniest part is
we do over correct with our kids now and buy
them way too much.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And our parents were great.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I have no complaints for my childhood, but there were
things my parents said no to.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
In fact, maybe I should take a.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Note out of their book, because I feel like too
many times my wife and I were like.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, sure, they're only young ones, Like we'll go.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
To Like let's say it's a pumpkin festival for Halloween.
Do your kids really need like the twenty dollars little
glow light at like a carnival?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Did they really need all that stuff? The junk?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But if you could afford it, man, and they are
young ones, Yeah, that's the constant battles. Another conversation for
another day. Let's say you, bro, let's me say no
just to say no.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Let's say, take your daughter to go see h Frozen
on ice? Does she need the little elsa you know,
thirty dollars spinny light. When they're grown up and you're
yearning for that time again, you're really gonna hurt you
in the wallet when you look back and say, man,
I know, I wish i'd admire that six dollar thing.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I have overcorrected so badly on toys. CoA has bins
and boxes. Yeah, he has so many toys. During the break,
I'll show you got a picture just from the other day.
He will empty out buckets and barrels of toys. This kid,
it looks like we have a daycare set.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
But is he a good kid? He's a great kid.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well that's that's how I look at it, right. Yeah,
if they're good kids and they're doing their part or whatever,
and they're getting good grades, it's like, well more do
you want to get to do? So anyway, based on
mister potato.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Head, if I still want my he man cash, get it,
Danny g Danny can sell those toys too. By the way, toys.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Quick trivia for you guys, because because as you said,
this is the anniversary nineteen fifty two the first TV
commercial advertising toys. How much money do you think advertisers
spend each year now advertising toys?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Good question.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
You know what, I wonder if it's as much as
it was when we were kids growing up, because now
they just hit like social media.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's still a lot. It's got to be like a
year how much and bis and billions million dollars.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, this isn't just limited to TV. It's the advertising
budgets for toys.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Maybe a billion. I have twelve billion dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, but you think the original mister Potato had cost
It's in the OG commercial.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I'm gonna guess, uh like a dollar twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well kind of say it has bro the original missed
the potato head one dollar one dollar. I bet you
most of us here didn't get, even me, who was spoiled.
We all wanted a Diamondback, a mongoose, a GT performer.
We wanted that sweet BMX bike and we probably got
a basic or generic one. Well, my story goes, you
(10:35):
know what am I wrote it down. I we were
at that transition age. I had a Columbia I so
badly wanted a diamondback or something. You know, that transition
transition age where you went from I guess you would say,
like some people called dirt bike or the small bike
to a bigger bike, right, yeah, Well we.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Called them dirt bikes growing up, but they're BMX bike. Yeah,
BMX bikes.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Maybe they were the rich kid had the mongoose of
the GT performer, you might have had a huffy. Everyone
started from that to like getting a sweet mountain bike.
And my parents bought me a tense speed like I
was Lance Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I remember being and I remember, like my dad.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
My dad still rolls his eyes when I tell that story,
but it's like, oh, Richie, it was a good bike.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But then yours have an intercom and you're like, rich
was the first kid with a water bottle, but he
started the tread day. But picture all the all the
boys in my neighborhood riding around on their like their
mountain bikes.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And I had a ten speed with those thin tires.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Like you probably wore speedos or those bicycle pants, and
you know, you bring back so many funny memories telling
that story, Rich And we're gonna go to your phone
calls now. Eight seven seven ninety nine, O Fox. My
buddy Barry also wanted the sweet mountain bike and his
parents bought him like you know, like like a weak version,
but it had the newspaper rack in the back.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
We made such fun.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of him, bro, you know you know what I'm talking about,
Like I think there was a basket in the front
and newspaper rack in the back, like that weird rack
in the back of it.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And get older and you need that rack though, because
like you would that's when you didn't have a car yet.
You need to transport stuff. Yeah, oh, I love the basket.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We made fun of him so hard, and it goes
back to the first hour because making fun of people
is fun.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You just don't want to take it too far. I
have a question. Did everyone in this room.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I doubt this is an East Coast thing, but did
everyone at least give their effort once to do some
type of penny saver or paper route?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Dude, I had two paper rocks? Did any did did
you do that?
Speaker 7 (12:31):
I had to fill in on a paper rock. It
wasn't my own, but I was. I was a sob
if the other kid didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That was the thing going around the neighborhood, throwing it
on their porch, penny saver or whatever the local paper was.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
That's a job that your kid today would look at
you like you were like telling you a lie. Like
I could picture dB wanting like a specific sort of
like starter jacket or something and not get it.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I hated it. I hated working. I hated Yeah, none
of it. I would rather have nothing than work for money.
When I was a kid, all I wanted to do
was play, Honestly.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, so based on the potato head. What are some
things that you you always wanted but never got? Eight
seven seven ninety nine five. Let me give you one
more and then we'll go rapid fire not so much
a toy, actually two quick ones. Every time I watched
the commercial for Sports Illustrated, I wanted that football phone.
And I remember again, like everything else, your parents are like,
that's stupid. Everything that you liked was stupid.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
How easy that's going to break your fine?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
It will make that for you in the garage. Yeah,
we got that at home. We have a football phone
at home.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And the other I s. I did a great job
of marketing those those.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Fo anytime your team won a championship, which is rare,
they would always come out with like those packs that
like right away. That and I wear contact lenses. Now
I wear glasses as a kid. Nowadays kids wear glasses.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
No one makes fun of anyone. Glasses are like glasses.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Embraces went from being nerds to like, oh good, no
big deal. My daughter has like an expander. Ever one
kid said anything to her. I remember back in the day,
you get made fun of her glasses or braces.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's a thing of the eighties. Nerds.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I had the thickest glasses. If you wear contact lenses.
You know what I'm about to say, I'm minus I'm
minus five in each eibe, meaning like if I took
my contacts out now.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I'd be like, Danny, is that you? I wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
If it was your eye with Sam really my glasses,
you would see Sam and say what's up? Mary mac
My My glasses were so thick, but it cost a
little extra money to get those thinner glasses.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah. And my parents are like, no, this is the
one on our plan. Oh, these are just fine thes
the one on the plan. Oh.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I was like, how much more could it have been
for the thinner glass? I ever choke bottled glass? I couldn't,
couldn't and wouldn't splurge. That's the wild part for me.
It wasn't so much toys. It was food items in
the fridge. We were never allowed We were only allowed
to have skim milk, never two percent or whole milk,
which tastes way better. And we were never allowed to
have like condiments like ranch. So when I'd go to
a red str and, I get to have ranch. Now
(15:01):
there's always ranch in my fridge, and my heart is
probably clogged because of it. But when I was growing
up deprived, I was deprived of ranch and two percent milk.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Oh, you got to be thinking so much. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
This is such a relatable fun not let you get
good toothpaste. He got offended by this pepsident is just
fine brand. That's all you get when I remember when
I was a kid, For some reason, my mom when
when she would do the supermarket run, would never get
me Caprice Sons. When Caprice Sons first came out the
(15:35):
idea of it's not a juice box, it's a pouch.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
That's why you wear capri pants till this day, protest.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I remember being like mom quick at Caprice Sons and
we would always get like sipsips, you know.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And I remember being like, Ratchie, I bought you some
juice boxes. Juice. How many of those could you crush
in a row? Can? Three in a row? Six?
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
All right, so let's go to the phones things that
you just didn't get as a kid. Because it's mister
potato head days.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Speaking of spudge will start in Idaho. It's Craig's man.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
How you doing the goofballs?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What's up? Man? So?
Speaker 10 (16:18):
And your topic triggered me. So we're gonna go way back, okay,
way back, okay nineteen six, nineteen sixty five. I was
a THI years old, Thank you, Oh my head, I'm busy.
So all my friends had G I Joe's, the original
G I Joe, and I was anticipating getting money for
(16:40):
Christmas and I wanted the frog Man.
Speaker 11 (16:44):
But what did I get instead?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
A beautiful Triumph three speed bike. And I was devastated.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I think you got G I Jeff like the
generic one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He's just because that happened too.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's why G I Joe was that, like the big
G I Joe's, the fuzzy heads and everything.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
All right, who do we got? Next day, Let's travel
to North Carolina Anthony in the.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
House eighty six GI I Joe USS flag, aircraft, carrier.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Aircraft, everything. Man, that was a big deal if you
had that. Yeah, every kid wanted that. I could see
why a parent wouldn't want to buy that. I think
was big and they probably had to put it together.
That's another thing that we didn't think about back then.
Parents were like, yeah, I'm gonna have to put that together,
and yeah, we know that's an I remember Kno's daughter
(17:42):
is a teenager, she's sixteen. I remember when your daughter
was little. I remember you bought her an elsa castle.
That didn't you tell me took you like a week
to put together, Queen forever.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I remember that kitchen set we put together together.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I do. Yeah, So, like you know, as a parent,
we didn't. We didn't think about that back then. But
now you're like, yeah, I don't know about that aircraft.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Can all tedious assembly required?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yes, you know, you know what we sucked at those
kids putting the stickers on those things, because we would.
You would ruin it, right if you had like a
millennium falcon and you had to put the stickers on it,
that's where you ruined it as a kid. My parents
didn't want to buy that for you because you're gonna
ruin it anyway. All right, So back to the phones.
Things you never got on a throwback Thursday, Old school
and fifty hits, all right, John and mein a John.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of cards that we
always wanted never got. Maybe a piece of supporting equipment
you always wanted never got. Everybody wanted the adjustable rim
and not everybody had it. Yeah, as long as one
kid in the neighborhood had it, you needed warm five

Uh So, there's a thirteen year age gap from me
and my younger sister. She got one of these. I
still am pissed off about it to this day. I
wanted one for so long. I asked for it Perthday, Christmas,
every time I wanted a power wheel, didn't get it.
My little sister got the Barbie Jeep power wheels when
I was like, I don't know twelve. I was so
(21:22):
pissed off because I never got one and she did.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You know, dude, always want one, but I aged out. Yeah, Kevino,
the the power wheel goal. Though a couple of year
age difference between you and I is I just was
able to get one. You remember the show Chips, Baker
and Punch the California Highway Patrol. I had the Chips
motor symptom. We should be Chips for Halloween. Bro mean, yeah,
Baker and Punch. Who't it ride a little Chip motorcycle?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Maybe that's Maybe that's subconscient Maybe that's subconsciences. How we
found each other, like power wheel, power makes it go.
They hated each other in real life, Yeah they did.
They hated each other.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Baker and so Punch, Yeah, hey, but you know what,
punch got Baker fired.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So be careful Punch and Bakers. I had that one.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
But you're right, those power wheels, if you were younger,
let's say you're in your thirties now, you definitely want
one of those, because that's when they were in their
those big fember to kids on the street. I was
too old for him, but they would have the bigfoot ones.

tire swing. They liked that with things my family got out,
by the way, do you see that ever anymore? I
have younger siblings, Yeah, and I feel like there were
things they got after I was like old, and I'm like,
do you know I would have liked that first word
the worst, Like uh, you could say they got I
got it in other ways, like my family got me braces, right, you.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Had those leg ones, like uh, like rich Elvis had
a dance. That's true.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I thought Elvis had to dance. Like certain things like
they played paid more attention to me is the oldest.
But then there's other things like oh, Rish, like if
I'm much like my brother and sister, they didn't train
Elvis Sam. But they did have a pool, Like my
family got a pool. When I was like old, I'm like,
look you got a pool.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, I wasn't that spoiled. I had was a mister
turtle pool. But look you had a willy water bug. Right,
I did have a willy water bug, But I was Sam.
It's not that I was a spoiled little jerk. I
was just the greatest kid ever. No, you think I'm
a jerk, now, man really a jerk. When I was
a kid, I was like the best kid that ever was.
So I feel like there's a reason. I just want
(27:08):
people to understand. You know, he really believes he was
the greatest kid.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
I was.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
So the things you didn't get that you always wanted.
We'll wrap it up. We got two more phone calls

town bragging that their son hit twenty seven Little League
home runs.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I mean, yeah, you jerk.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Let's go back to the studio lines. Anthony is in
North Carolina.

got my Castle dogs.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, so do, I said, is rich? It was great?
It jerks. I mean, now it's.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's weak because they could have did so much with it,
because it's so cool.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But you know what, They're probably gonna put out a
new one. The new movie comes out in June.
Speaker 2 (27:49):

as well. It's Jared Leto. Yeah, so yeah. Rest in peace.
Roger Sweet, the creator of he Man, passed away at
ninety one, born in nineteen thirty five. He passed away
this week, and he passed away poor. Like there's a
GoFundMe for the dude, Like, how we get back? I
(28:19):
hate when someone created something that meant so much to
us but didn't cash in.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
That's sort of a sad thought, right, all right? Who
else we got there?
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Let's wrap up old school when fifty hits with Taylor
in Illinois?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
What up, Taylor?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
What up?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I just wanted to say there's one thing This probably
isn't usual because there ain't many of us, but one
thing I've always wanted as a kid that I never
got because my mom was a Packer fan, but my
dad was a Jets fan, and then forever me and
my dad were Jets fans, and I've always wanted Jets tickets.
My mom would not let him buy it for us.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So maybe they saved you from misery. They saved you
from a lifetime a misery. Thank you for the call
and round them to wrap the one guy that wants
Jets tickets or found them guys to.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And before we get into show and tell, was there
a piece of sporting equipment like a bat that you
like the clay bats at TPX, or was there a
piece of sporting equipment, you know, a sporting toy that
you always wanted you never got.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Because they got expensive.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know, my family always was good to me, But
I do remember there was a moment where he said
the clay ceramic bats.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, had a moment and I remember being like, do
I want one of these?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But you know nowadays, I'll be honest if you're if
you're rocking the coaching world like I am. We all
and I don't want to sound like the old guy.
We shared helmets with our teammates. Remember you'd be like,
I hope the guy that wears a large is it
on base when I get up?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Or like not just that, but we had hand me
down equipment like the plate. Again, sports was big out
here on the west coast.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Danny, we had a team helmets, like one of each
size that was handed down from the previous year and
the previous year. In the previous year, and there might
have been two kids that had a big barrel. Easton
there was like two sizes of the same rubber handle,
green looking Eastern bat. Now was there the black Magic
I'm coaching six years. They all have their little hype fires.
(30:02):
They have the the bat that looks like a pencil.
They got the cloud, the club, they got all these bats.
It was the Eastern big barrel. I think it was
another one. So now fancy travel team bags Bro. I
got kids that don't even know how to slide, and
they have those sliding gloves. The sliding gloves from that
company that has like the ice cream Sunday looking designs
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
He might be the most popular.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Number eighty three of all time is what Andre Reid,

where his little brother or his older brother. I assume

I you know, I love broadcasting Skelley Biblehead. Were year

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh? It was July twenty fifth, twenty thirteen. I was.
I was there at Dodger State.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I want to call bs because in twenty thirteen, you
and I were working on SNY in New York City. No, no, see,
but I hold on twenty thirteen. It was July twenty fifth,

You don't even bobbleheads, bro, No, but you took that
from my hold on. Wait a minute, is that Dan Byers?

And after the day, what it says right here, it's
time for Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 11 (38:07):
Time for Dodger baseball.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
US Dodgers fan Vin Scully, Guys, No, when we get
back from thirteen, we get back from vacation two thursdays
from now.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
I'm really gonna pin a note on your shirt on
the Wednesday show so your wife season.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
There should be a punishment like in school, your name
would go on the board if you failed a project
or you There's gotta be something like the guys, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
What, you get a legit three weeks in a row.
Back in the day, Danny G.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
We used to give something called nutballs, and we were
to drop a baseball on his package. You know you
get we all get a nutball, like you have to
drop it because there's gotta be a punished eyes.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, because by Vin Skelly Bob.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'm not buying that. It's a great bobblehead twenty thirteen.
I was those there at the stadium.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
You don't even like that camp was playing or something.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
By the way, I'm gonna give a cn our price
pack out to our YouTube chat at NY Jeters at
New York Jeters. He says he was commenting on our
old school topic. He says, grew up in New Jersey.
I had the GT Dino Blast Show. My brother had
the ninety six baby Blue GT Performer.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
With mag wheels. They were so cool.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
He got stolen when we moved to Sturgis, South Dakota,
but we caught the kids days later because it stuck out.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And you know, if you had pegs back then, you
were like the coolest kid going so And.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
By the way, and why Jeters email me it is
CR Prizes at gmail dot com. That's Crprizes at gmail
dot com.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
And by the way, if you're not watching, definitely watched
later at Covino and Rich FSR. Rich clearly stole a
bibblehead from somebody's office here at Fox Sports. Oh no,
I'm an Vince Scully's my guys. He's such a Cohen
guy and such a Mets fan. There's no way he
even has that marblehead. I mean, so anyway, nice try,
buddy boy. And to wrap up our previous discussion, I
(39:57):
kind of think, like we already talked about how you
don't want to take things too far, and we all
know that Phillies fans are the toughest, or Philadelphia fans
are the roughest, the roughest.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
If the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Show up at a Flyers game and they throw them
on the big screen and they get booed, I kind
of think that's warranted when they're just as bad as
your Mets rich they're eleven and nineteen and they're three
and seven in their last ten they were.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Sitting there with their wives and girlfriends. It's embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
What do you expect when they think so bad around
boo your hometown?
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Really, I kind of under like, there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
With booing, it's it's when you say other things that's
when it gets too far. Well, Donny, Baseball's in charge.
Now you should be thinking. They're about I'm rooting for
Donnie baseball. But you know, it proves the point. If
you want to talk about the roughest city to play in,
this just proves that whether you're.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
A Philly, a Flyer, an.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Eagle, it's seventy six are Eagles. It's Philadelphia many they
have the title. The Eagles booed Donovan McNabb when he
got drafted. The guy, as you know, the guy's one
of the best quarterbacks of that generation.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
They booed him.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
I mean, it's not like high expectations. Of course they
have that. You know, New York has that lay. Everybody
wants to win. It's it's how they react.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I want to know.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
I know recently Stu Gott picked Philly as one of
the most tortured fan bases, and they have won some
Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Recently they've won Super Bowl. They still not happy.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
They won a World Series. In the twenty first century,
they've been to a couple like being angry. That's why
you know why I was cold on the East Coast.
Let me tell you, growing a lot of lead the
water growing up in New York. Yeah, New York's a
tough place to play Boston. They got some Weisenheimer's up there.
Philadelphia by far the roughest most. But first of all,
you could say two things. Probably the most supportive, amazing
(41:44):
fan base when they're doing well, but if they struggle.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
It's tough. Philly is rough shout out to our Philly
in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
When I would go to a Mets Phillies game, I'd
put my jersey on once I got closer to the
stadium because I feel like if they saw me coming
out of my car with a Mets jersey, did keep
my car. I didn't expect them to cheer. Put it
that way, all right, we got over promised next, so
join us live right. Don't even there with you, baby,
See you in the over Promised Land. Vince Sculley

so I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis, Dandy g
Sam and Byer. And before we take your phone calls
because we get you involved right now at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Can I shamelessly promote two things.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Tonight on the History Channel brand new episode of Mysteries Unearthed,
and I think I'm on it and ask me to
promote it, and I want you to see me, so
check it out. I posted a clip, so please like
my clip at Steve Covino. And while you're on the
IG and TikTok at Steve Covino, I posted a picture
of me with my original mister Potato Head. It looks
(01:43):
like it's from like nineteen sixty something. It's so gross.
I'm how old it looks. The picture looks like. But
she was like the early eighties. Covina looks like you's
seventy five years old. You look like you were a
child when it was black and white film. But dude,
everybody had a mister Potato Head?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Am I right? Nours? Of course?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
In fact, the late great Don Rickle played mister potato
Head on the Toy Story movies. I'm a marriage put
single fellas all right, so you could see me my
OG original mister potato Head at Steve Covino, and everyone
took the glasses of the lips and you put them
on your own face. But on this day in nineteen
(02:19):
fifty two, mister potato Head became the first toy ever
advertised on TV. And if you see the original commercial
as wild because like Rich said, it was just a
potato and you were supposed to put the nose and
the eyes on a real potato.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It looked creepy as could be.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You ever see like you ever see someone with really
old school creepy like Santa Claus decorations back in the
day for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
This is like the Easter Bunny from the fifties or forties.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Like like, yeah, your parents' Easter Bunny was like just
a creepy rabbit.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The OG nineteen fifty two potato Head commercial, mister potato head,
it was really like I said, the eyes, the mouth
and the ears. And some people put it on like
a like a skinny sweet potato like ay, some put
it on a like just a regular potato, it looks creepy,
and the voiceovers Grace, this is all old school like
brought to you by Hasbro.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, Hasbro shit introducing shee a hand. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So on that note, and based on that thought, I
think we all had one. But what were where were
the toys or or even items, merchandise whatever that you
always wanted that you never got, right?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
What are those toys? I got too?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And they still bothered me to this day because then
you often battle too, like, well, I'm an adult, can
I go and find it on eBay? Just to fulfill
my childhood dreams? I did what you just inside?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Really?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, because it's always that question. Let me let me
hit you with it. And I was disappointed and my
parents were probably right. And it wasn't the animal. I
did get that, the worst remote control car ever. Yeah,
an the animal put anything off then and the claws
would come out of the tires. My parents did get that.
So that's not on my list. But did you return it?
Because it sucked what my parents wouldn't get me? When
(03:59):
I was a grown man, I got one like in
like a weird like that wasn't spiteful, but it was like,
oh well now I so badly wanted a Snoopy snow
cone machine. Oh yeah, And I remember my parents being like,
it's stupid, Richie, it just grinds ice.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm like snowcone and my parents like, just so, it's stupid. Yeah,
I got my mom. That was her answer for every
toy commercial.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's stupid, that's stupid kids, kind of like stupid day.
My kids don't care, they just want it. Oh but
that's just for LOSAs. My just wants it. And Mom
were like, no, it's it's what is it? It grinds
up ice and no, you don't need we don't need that.
I have to be honest. I loved my Snoopy Soaco machine.
I did, but you're right, it didn't work the way
(04:41):
it was advertised. None of the stuff did that we
had growing up. For me, it was my pet monster.
Always wanted it, never got it. Remember that weird looking
monster with the handcuffs, Like, oh, I want my pet monster.
And I sort of grew out of it, I guess,
I don't know. Never no one ever bought it from me.
But I was a spoiled little a hole, so I
(05:02):
had most.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Things of designer jeans.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I had a lot yeah, I was. I was spoiled, dude.
I had so many Nintendo games. I was so spoiled,
and I was.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was not.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I lived a great little childhood. But I'll give you
an example, Danny. If we went to a game on
the circus whatever was in town at Nassau Coliseum or
Madison Square Garden in New York, no way on planet
Earth would my family buy me cotton candy every time.
I'm like, Jeff, can't believe cotton never like I feel
like sugar.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's just sugar melts in your mouth. Exactly your mom.
I feel like they have the same play.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You know what happens parents over correct now, now rich
by All, you know all the kids in his section
cotton candy.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He's the concady man.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know the the toy car tracks and we used
to see all the cool team with a gun.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And had that hot burning smell.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, my older brother and I we wanted those cars
so badly. And my mom's like, no, no, no, no,
that those are made cheaply. She had a story for everything.
The one thing we bugged her the most for though,
Castle Grayschool, actual Castle. I had a he man and
I wanted that Castle so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I' still one of the only things I still have
my parents ad. I'm sorry to tell you, Danny, I
had one.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I also had Snake Mountain and it came with a
little microphone. That's how he started his broadcast. It was
my first broadcast was from Live from Snake Mountain.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
It wasn't just the toy commercials. I wanted the Magic
Johnson purple and golden white Converse weapon yes, so bad.
And of course they came out in the mid late
eighties with the Larry Bird Magic Johnson commercial where they
were dueling against each other and those Converse I wanted
those shoes.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'm that note. Man. I'll never forget this. I was
at Bamburger's.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
This is like Macy's before Macy's, right, So I'm a
little kid and this is timely and it's one of
the only things I didn't get because I tell you,
I was pretty spoiled. And I don't take any pride
in saying that. I don't think it got to my head.
I don't think I'm the worst guy ever, but I
try not to be.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
But anyway, didn't get this.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm curious what Danny's mom would have approved of. Him
in terms of toys, like what did she sign off on?
She was like, no, that's stupid, that's poorly made. What
did she actually think was like quality?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Got a water gun?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
She got me a big wheel. It was a Darth
Vader big wheel. That was her cool though made in America,
quality made.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So I was at Bamburger's with my mom and my
grandma and dude, I saw what I thought was the
coolest thing that ever was, and till this day, I
still think it is. It was the Michael Jackson like
thriller jacket, but there was also like the beaded jacket
they read, you.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Know, the red leather.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I remember what they had him at the store, and
Michael Jackson was everything and you could see why based
on the box office numbers right. And I remember this
is one of my only moments. I was crying because
they wouldn't get it from me. I'm like, oh, the
jacket didn't get it, never got it, man. But if
you can get a sequence glove or that jacket back then,
(07:56):
you were the coolest kid going. The funniest part is
we do over correct with our kids now and buy
them way too much.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And our parents were great.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I have no complaints for my childhood, but there were
things my parents said no to.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
In fact, maybe I should take a.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Note out of their book, because I feel like too
many times my wife and I were like.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, sure, they're only young ones, Like we'll go.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
To Like let's say it's a pumpkin festival for Halloween.
Do your kids really need like the twenty dollars little
glow light at like a carnival?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Did they really need all that stuff? The junk?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But if you could afford it, man, and they are
young ones, Yeah, that's the constant battles. Another conversation for
another day. Let's say you, bro, let's me say no
just to say no.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Let's say, take your daughter to go see h Frozen
on ice? Does she need the little elsa you know,
thirty dollars spinny light. When they're grown up and you're
yearning for that time again, you're really gonna hurt you
in the wallet when you look back and say, man,
I know, I wish i'd admire that six dollar thing.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I have overcorrected so badly on toys. CoA has bins
and boxes. Yeah, he has so many toys. During the break,
I'll show you got a picture just from the other day.
He will empty out buckets and barrels of toys. This kid,
it looks like we have a daycare set.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
But is he a good kid? He's a great kid.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well that's that's how I look at it, right. Yeah,
if they're good kids and they're doing their part or whatever,
and they're getting good grades, it's like, well more do
you want to get to do? So anyway, based on
mister potato.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Head, if I still want my he man cash, get it,
Danny g Danny can sell those toys too. By the way, toys.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Quick trivia for you guys, because because as you said,
this is the anniversary nineteen fifty two the first TV
commercial advertising toys. How much money do you think advertisers
spend each year now advertising toys?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Good question.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
You know what, I wonder if it's as much as
it was when we were kids growing up, because now
they just hit like social media.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's still a lot. It's got to be like a
year how much and bis and billions million dollars.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, this isn't just limited to TV. It's the advertising
budgets for toys.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Maybe a billion. I have twelve billion dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, but you think the original mister Potato had cost
It's in the OG commercial.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I'm gonna guess, uh like a dollar twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well kind of say it has bro the original missed
the potato head one dollar one dollar. I bet you
most of us here didn't get, even me, who was spoiled.
We all wanted a Diamondback, a mongoose, a GT performer.
We wanted that sweet BMX bike and we probably got
a basic or generic one. Well, my story goes, you
(10:35):
know what am I wrote it down. I we were
at that transition age. I had a Columbia I so
badly wanted a diamondback or something. You know, that transition
transition age where you went from I guess you would say,
like some people called dirt bike or the small bike
to a bigger bike, right, yeah, Well we.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Called them dirt bikes growing up, but they're BMX bike. Yeah,
BMX bikes.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Maybe they were the rich kid had the mongoose of
the GT performer, you might have had a huffy. Everyone
started from that to like getting a sweet mountain bike.
And my parents bought me a tense speed like I
was Lance Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I remember being and I remember, like my dad.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
My dad still rolls his eyes when I tell that story,
but it's like, oh, Richie, it was a good bike.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But then yours have an intercom and you're like, rich
was the first kid with a water bottle, but he
started the tread day. But picture all the all the
boys in my neighborhood riding around on their like their
mountain bikes.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And I had a ten speed with those thin tires.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Like you probably wore speedos or those bicycle pants, and
you know, you bring back so many funny memories telling
that story, Rich And we're gonna go to your phone
calls now. Eight seven seven ninety nine, O Fox. My
buddy Barry also wanted the sweet mountain bike and his
parents bought him like you know, like like a weak version,
but it had the newspaper rack in the back.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
We made such fun.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of him, bro, you know you know what I'm talking about,
Like I think there was a basket in the front
and newspaper rack in the back, like that weird rack
in the back of it.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And get older and you need that rack though, because
like you would that's when you didn't have a car yet.
You need to transport stuff. Yeah, oh, I love the basket.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We made fun of him so hard, and it goes
back to the first hour because making fun of people
is fun.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You just don't want to take it too far. I
have a question. Did everyone in this room.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I doubt this is an East Coast thing, but did
everyone at least give their effort once to do some
type of penny saver or paper route?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Dude, I had two paper rocks? Did any did did
you do that?
Speaker 7 (12:31):
I had to fill in on a paper rock. It
wasn't my own, but I was. I was a sob
if the other kid didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That was the thing going around the neighborhood, throwing it
on their porch, penny saver or whatever the local paper was.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
That's a job that your kid today would look at
you like you were like telling you a lie. Like
I could picture dB wanting like a specific sort of
like starter jacket or something and not get it.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I hated it. I hated working. I hated Yeah, none
of it. I would rather have nothing than work for money.
When I was a kid, all I wanted to do
was play, Honestly.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, so based on the potato head. What are some
things that you you always wanted but never got? Eight
seven seven ninety nine five. Let me give you one
more and then we'll go rapid fire not so much
a toy, actually two quick ones. Every time I watched
the commercial for Sports Illustrated, I wanted that football phone.
And I remember again, like everything else, your parents are like,
that's stupid. Everything that you liked was stupid.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
How easy that's going to break your fine?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
It will make that for you in the garage. Yeah,
we got that at home. We have a football phone
at home.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And the other I s. I did a great job
of marketing those those.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Fo anytime your team won a championship, which is rare,
they would always come out with like those packs that
like right away. That and I wear contact lenses. Now
I wear glasses as a kid. Nowadays kids wear glasses.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
No one makes fun of anyone. Glasses are like glasses.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Embraces went from being nerds to like, oh good, no
big deal. My daughter has like an expander. Ever one
kid said anything to her. I remember back in the day,
you get made fun of her glasses or braces.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's a thing of the eighties. Nerds.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I had the thickest glasses. If you wear contact lenses.
You know what I'm about to say, I'm minus I'm
minus five in each eibe, meaning like if I took
my contacts out now.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I'd be like, Danny, is that you? I wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
If it was your eye with Sam really my glasses,
you would see Sam and say what's up? Mary mac
My My glasses were so thick, but it cost a
little extra money to get those thinner glasses.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah. And my parents are like, no, this is the
one on our plan. Oh, these are just fine thes
the one on the plan. Oh.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I was like, how much more could it have been
for the thinner glass? I ever choke bottled glass? I couldn't,
couldn't and wouldn't splurge. That's the wild part for me.
It wasn't so much toys. It was food items in
the fridge. We were never allowed We were only allowed
to have skim milk, never two percent or whole milk,
which tastes way better. And we were never allowed to
have like condiments like ranch. So when I'd go to
a red str and, I get to have ranch. Now
(15:01):
there's always ranch in my fridge, and my heart is
probably clogged because of it. But when I was growing
up deprived, I was deprived of ranch and two percent milk.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Oh, you got to be thinking so much. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
This is such a relatable fun not let you get
good toothpaste. He got offended by this pepsident is just
fine brand. That's all you get when I remember when
I was a kid, For some reason, my mom when
when she would do the supermarket run, would never get
me Caprice Sons. When Caprice Sons first came out the
(15:35):
idea of it's not a juice box, it's a pouch.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
That's why you wear capri pants till this day, protest.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I remember being like mom quick at Caprice Sons and
we would always get like sipsips, you know.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And I remember being like, Ratchie, I bought you some
juice boxes. Juice. How many of those could you crush
in a row? Can? Three in a row? Six?
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
All right, so let's go to the phones things that
you just didn't get as a kid. Because it's mister
potato head days.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Speaking of spudge will start in Idaho. It's Craig's man.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
How you doing the goofballs?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What's up? Man? So?
Speaker 10 (16:18):
And your topic triggered me. So we're gonna go way back, okay,
way back, okay nineteen six, nineteen sixty five. I was
a THI years old, Thank you, Oh my head, I'm busy.
So all my friends had G I Joe's, the original
G I Joe, and I was anticipating getting money for
(16:40):
Christmas and I wanted the frog Man.
Speaker 11 (16:44):
But what did I get instead?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
A beautiful Triumph three speed bike. And I was devastated.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I think you got G I Jeff like the
generic one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He's just because that happened too.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's why G I Joe was that, like the big
G I Joe's, the fuzzy heads and everything.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
All right, who do we got? Next day, Let's travel
to North Carolina Anthony in the.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
House eighty six GI I Joe USS flag, aircraft, carrier.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Aircraft, everything. Man, that was a big deal if you
had that. Yeah, every kid wanted that. I could see
why a parent wouldn't want to buy that. I think
was big and they probably had to put it together.
That's another thing that we didn't think about back then.
Parents were like, yeah, I'm gonna have to put that together,
and yeah, we know that's an I remember Kno's daughter
(17:42):
is a teenager, she's sixteen. I remember when your daughter
was little. I remember you bought her an elsa castle.
That didn't you tell me took you like a week
to put together, Queen forever.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I remember that kitchen set we put together together.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I do. Yeah, So, like you know, as a parent,
we didn't. We didn't think about that back then. But
now you're like, yeah, I don't know about that aircraft.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Can all tedious assembly required?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yes, you know, you know what we sucked at those
kids putting the stickers on those things, because we would.
You would ruin it, right if you had like a
millennium falcon and you had to put the stickers on it,
that's where you ruined it as a kid. My parents
didn't want to buy that for you because you're gonna
ruin it anyway. All right, So back to the phones.
Things you never got on a throwback Thursday, Old school
and fifty hits, all right, John and mein a John.

I got two things, if I may. I'm a Niner fan,
Bigniner fan, like rich, same generation, and they're one kid
that had this, and all of us just thought it
was amazing, And finally I fulfilled my childhood dream. Last
week I went to a baseball card shop and I
bought a Jerry Rice rookie card.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Dude, that's awesome, that's nice.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I was thinking about buying a Ben Rice rookie card
because he's so hot right now. Relation by the way,
but you know how much I say you back? Oh
we lost him.
Speaker 13 (20:24):
I wonder it was like one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Nice. Yeah, that's good, that's really dope.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of cards that we
always wanted never got. Maybe a piece of supporting equipment
you always wanted never got. Everybody wanted the adjustable rim
and not everybody had it. Yeah, as long as one
kid in the neighborhood had it, you needed warm five
at least that's what your parents would tell you. Oh,
why do you need one? Jerry down the street has one,
of course, so all right, we'll wrapping up with your

and my younger sister. She got one of these. I
still am pissed off about it to this day. I
wanted one for so long. I asked for it Perthday, Christmas,
every time I wanted a power wheel, didn't get it.
My little sister got the Barbie Jeep power wheels when
I was like, I don't know twelve. I was so
(21:22):
pissed off because I never got one and she did.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You know, dude, always want one, but I aged out. Yeah, Kevino,
the the power wheel goal. Though a couple of year
age difference between you and I is I just was
able to get one. You remember the show Chips, Baker
and Punch the California Highway Patrol. I had the Chips
motor symptom. We should be Chips for Halloween. Bro mean, yeah,
Baker and Punch. Who't it ride a little Chip motorcycle?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Maybe that's Maybe that's subconscient Maybe that's subconsciences. How we
found each other, like power wheel, power makes it go.
They hated each other in real life, Yeah they did.
They hated each other.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Baker and so Punch, Yeah, hey, but you know what,
punch got Baker fired.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So be careful Punch and Bakers. I had that one.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
But you're right, those power wheels, if you were younger,
let's say you're in your thirties now, you definitely want
one of those, because that's when they were in their
those big fember to kids on the street. I was
too old for him, but they would have the bigfoot ones.

by the way, do you see that ever anymore? I
have younger siblings, Yeah, and I feel like there were
things they got after I was like old, and I'm like,
do you know I would have liked that first word
the worst, Like uh, you could say they got I
got it in other ways, like my family got me braces, right, you.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Had those leg ones, like uh, like rich Elvis had
a dance. That's true.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I thought Elvis had to dance. Like certain things like
they played paid more attention to me is the oldest.
But then there's other things like oh, Rish, like if
I'm much like my brother and sister, they didn't train
Elvis Sam. But they did have a pool, Like my
family got a pool. When I was like old, I'm like,
look you got a pool.

Now.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, I wasn't that spoiled. I had was a mister
turtle pool. But look you had a willy water bug. Right,
I did have a willy water bug, But I was Sam.
It's not that I was a spoiled little jerk. I
was just the greatest kid ever. No, you think I'm
a jerk, now, man really a jerk. When I was
a kid, I was like the best kid that ever was.
So I feel like there's a reason. I just want
(27:08):
people to understand. You know, he really believes he was
the greatest kid.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
I was.
Speaker 2 (27:11):

Yeah, so do, I said, is rich? It was great?
It jerks. I mean, now it's.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's weak because they could have did so much with it,

as well. It's Jared Leto. Yeah, so yeah. Rest in peace.
Roger Sweet, the creator of he Man, passed away at
ninety one, born in nineteen thirty five. He passed away
this week, and he passed away poor. Like there's a
GoFundMe for the dude, Like, how we get back? I
(28:19):
hate when someone created something that meant so much to
us but didn't cash in.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
That's sort of a sad thought, right, all right? Who
else we got there?
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Let's wrap up old school when fifty hits with Taylor

Speaker 1 (28:30):
What up, Taylor?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
What up?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I just wanted to say there's one thing This probably
isn't usual because there ain't many of us, but one
thing I've always wanted as a kid that I never
got because my mom was a Packer fan, but my
dad was a Jets fan, and then forever me and
my dad were Jets fans, and I've always wanted Jets tickets.
My mom would not let him buy it for us.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So maybe they saved you from misery. They saved you
from a lifetime a misery. Thank you for the call
and round them to wrap the one guy that wants
Jets tickets or found them guys to.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And before we get into show and tell, was there
a piece of sporting equipment like a bat that you
like the clay bats at TPX, or was there a
piece of sporting equipment, you know, a sporting toy that
you always wanted you never got.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Because they got expensive.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know, my family always was good to me, But
I do remember there was a moment where he said
the clay ceramic bats.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, had a moment and I remember being like, do
I want one of these?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But you know nowadays, I'll be honest if you're if
you're rocking the coaching world like I am. We all
and I don't want to sound like the old guy.
We shared helmets with our teammates. Remember you'd be like,
I hope the guy that wears a large is it
on base when I get up?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Or like not just that, but we had hand me
down equipment like the plate. Again, sports was big out
here on the west coast.

size that was handed down from the previous year and
the previous year. In the previous year, and there might
have been two kids that had a big barrel. Easton
there was like two sizes of the same rubber handle,
green looking Eastern bat. Now was there the black Magic
I'm coaching six years. They all have their little hype fires.
(30:02):
They have the the bat that looks like a pencil.
They got the cloud, the club, they got all these bats.
It was the Eastern big barrel. I think it was
another one. So now fancy travel team bags Bro. I
got kids that don't even know how to slide, and
they have those sliding gloves. The sliding gloves from that
company that has like the ice cream Sunday looking designs

Number eighty three of all time is what Andre Reid,

but I hold on twenty thirteen. It was July twenty fifth,

Time for Dodger baseball.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
US Dodgers fan Vin Scully, Guys, No, when we get
back from thirteen, we get back from vacation two thursdays
from now.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
I'm really gonna pin a note on your shirt on
the Wednesday show so your wife season.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
There should be a punishment like in school, your name
would go on the board if you failed a project
or you There's gotta be something like the guys, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
What, you get a legit three weeks in a row.
Back in the day, Danny G.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
We used to give something called nutballs, and we were
to drop a baseball on his package. You know you
get we all get a nutball, like you have to
drop it because there's gotta be a punished eyes.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, because by Vin Skelly Bob.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'm not buying that. It's a great bobblehead twenty thirteen.
I was those there at the stadium.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
You don't even like that camp was playing or something.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
By the way, I'm gonna give a cn our price
pack out to our YouTube chat at NY Jeters at
New York Jeters. He says he was commenting on our
old school topic. He says, grew up in New Jersey.
I had the GT Dino Blast Show. My brother had
the ninety six baby Blue GT Performer.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
With mag wheels. They were so cool.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
He got stolen when we moved to Sturgis, South Dakota,
but we caught the kids days later because it stuck out.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And you know, if you had pegs back then, you
were like the coolest kid going so And.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
By the way, and why Jeters email me it is
CR Prizes at gmail dot com. That's Crprizes at gmail
dot com.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
And by the way, if you're not watching, definitely watched
later at Covino and Rich FSR. Rich clearly stole a
bibblehead from somebody's office here at Fox Sports. Oh no,
I'm an Vince Scully's my guys. He's such a Cohen
guy and such a Mets fan. There's no way he
even has that marblehead. I mean, so anyway, nice try,
buddy boy. And to wrap up our previous discussion, I
(39:57):
kind of think, like we already talked about how you
don't want to take things too far, and we all
know that Phillies fans are the toughest, or Philadelphia fans
are the roughest, the roughest.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
If the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Show up at a Flyers game and they throw them
on the big screen and they get booed, I kind
of think that's warranted when they're just as bad as
your Mets rich they're eleven and nineteen and they're three
and seven in their last ten they were.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Sitting there with their wives and girlfriends. It's embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
What do you expect when they think so bad around
boo your hometown?
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Really, I kind of under like, there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
With booing, it's it's when you say other things that's
when it gets too far. Well, Donny, Baseball's in charge.
Now you should be thinking. They're about I'm rooting for
Donnie baseball. But you know, it proves the point. If
you want to talk about the roughest city to play in,
this just proves that whether you're.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
A Philly, a Flyer, an.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Eagle, it's seventy six are Eagles. It's Philadelphia many they
have the title. The Eagles booed Donovan McNabb when he
got drafted. The guy, as you know, the guy's one
of the best quarterbacks of that generation.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
They booed him.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
I mean, it's not like high expectations. Of course they
have that. You know, New York has that lay. Everybody
wants to win. It's it's how they react.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I want to know.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
I know recently Stu Gott picked Philly as one of
the most tortured fan bases, and they have won some
Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Recently they've won Super Bowl. They still not happy.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
They won a World Series. In the twenty first century,
they've been to a couple like being angry. That's why
you know why I was cold on the East Coast.
Let me tell you, growing a lot of lead the
water growing up in New York. Yeah, New York's a
tough place to play Boston. They got some Weisenheimer's up there.
Philadelphia by far the roughest most. But first of all,
you could say two things. Probably the most supportive, amazing
(41:44):
fan base when they're doing well, but if they struggle.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
It's tough. Philly is rough shout out to our Philly
in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
When I would go to a Mets Phillies game, I'd
put my jersey on once I got closer to the
stadium because I feel like if they saw me coming
out of my car with a Mets jersey, did keep
my car. I didn't expect them to cheer. Put it
that way, all right, we got over promised next, so
join us live right. Don't even there with you, baby,
See you in the over Promised Land. Vince Sculley
