Our Bonus Pot Episode one twelve premieres today. Let's go right,
all right now, all right, Thursday, we do something called
old school Win fifty HiT's, we reminisce and we throw
it back. And on this day in eighty six, the
Fox Network launched and their whole angle was We're edgy.

(01:20):
Oh yeah, and I think it was led by married
to a children person. Honestly, it took a couple of
years for the network to build some steam.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
But I think if you want to say, what's the.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Trifecta of early Fox days, married with children, Simpson's in
living color stick out to me. But Spotty, our video
guy was saying, you gotta remember, like twenty one Jump
Street Cops was a big show, America's.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
What was it? What was the video on h Totally
hidden video, totally.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Hidden video, That's what it was. I'm sorry, and America
is most wanted. That was sort of like so yeah,
and again you gotta remember for the time, if you're
younger than us, yeah, it may have seen normal to you,
but back then, nothing like that was on television, on
regular network television. So this became the fourth major network

(02:11):
and it changed away. We watched, so on this day
we throw it back in reminisce and we get you
involved on what was considered edgy. Well, there was something
also a little more diverse and edgy about Fox. Because
keep in mind, like if you think CBS has always
been like very vanilla, very like middle America safe CBS,

(02:31):
Fox came out. Oh I thought when you said vanilla,
it means like there was no chocolate involved. There was
no uh, it was nothing else involved. Honestly, CBS still
gets criticized, right, They're like, they're just very white, especial
and spicy and and truthfully, like I always to this day,
a little sprinkle of time till till this day, Danny
g And I don't think I'm saying anything revolutionary here.

(02:54):
I think Jim Carrey benefited more than anyone else based
on how he was the one white dude or your
predominantly black sketch comedy show and Living Color. And I
think if you ask a lot of you, if you
asked any of your black friends, Ye'll give me like
a white comic you like Gary Owen, Gary Owen and
Jim Carrey. And Jim Carrey really was the crossover, you know, culturally,

(03:18):
And I think when he started coming out with movies,
I think all all your friends that were aftering at
American were like, yo, Jim Carrey's my dude. So without
a doubt, but again, this was way edgy for the
time and it sort of opened the floodgates. It's when
like printal advisory albums were also a big deal right,

(03:39):
So take you back to those cartoons, those albums, the music,
the movies that were edgy, and you'd lower the volume
where you'd change the channel when your mom walked in
on you, and I think of I don't know if
it was meant to be edgy, but it was a
little on the perverted side.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
My dad would be watching Benny Hill as a kid,
and I would watch with him, and they would they
would be women in lingerie running around on all over
the place. Willard go wid that's his Willard. It was
great because you'd sit there as a kid. My dad
would be laughing his ass off, but I'd be like, whoa,
what's up?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Willard?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Hey, what's up? Covino? What's up? Rich? What's up? Diamonds
and Pearls? Diamond Dan? You know you know how long
I've been listening Diamond Dan. Anyways, Guys, I used to
have a string hooked up to my TV to where
I can turn it off because it had to switch.
I could turn it. I can make the string and
turn it off before my mom walked in. And yes,

(04:38):
Bennie Hill was one, but the real one, the real one,
the real one was on Showtime and it was after hours.
He man, you will, you will.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I love that. I remember that.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I love if you had that box too. We had
a box with the wire, the box of the wire.
Before we had like I don't know, your regular remote
was an analog cable cable box. If you pressed three
channels just a certain way, the right way, you'd get
that scrambled Playboy or Spice channel.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
And again that's what we're talking about.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
The cable boxes that had the turn knobs. You could
also like hold it in between two of the pay
channels and get it to unscramble. But my brother would
like get a baseball card folded and happen stick it
in there so that it would hold the position, or.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
He would just make you hold it.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Your imagination would run because you swear you see some
crazy stuff.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
He watched the show called Lady Chatterly on Cinemax.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I remember that. I remember Lady channeling. I remember Late Night.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Skin Ax was pretty edgy for the time for you know,
a regular cable channel. But back to Benny Hill. You know,
Benny Hill would be patting the old guy in the head.
But they be running around in fast speed to that
song with all these women with their with their.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Ghibli bits hanging out for the most so you're like, whoa.
I remember, as I've joked before, I used to.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I used to take some of those late night Cinemax
movies on VHS tapes and label them forty nine Ers Game,
so that my mom would never you know, I'd be
like forty nine ers Bears Monday Night. Meanwhile it would
be do you remember Bikini car Wash Company? Out also
perverted eighties comedies. There was one that I I'll never
remember the name, but it was a dude that made

(06:20):
a wish and the genie was like really hot.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It was like something on a beach. Is this just
a fantasy? I had no, But if everyone.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
What I'm talking about, Miracle Kazam was Shaquille O'Neil, is
it miracle beach?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Is that possible?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
So anyway, if you know, let us know. At eight
seven seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, and I'm gonna give
you one more. I gave you Benny Hill and he agreed,
Thanks for the call.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Man.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
On the music front, I remember how how naughty and
wild and rebellious I felt listening to Twisted Sister as
a kid. Maybe for you that was Nwa or even
run DMC early on or something, or dare I say
the genre of rep sid Sister for me was that
band Parental Advisory D Snyder actually fought that right, but

(07:07):
I would have to lower it. If I heard my
mom coming up the steps and I was listening to
You're Gonna Burn in Hell, Ah Burn in Hell, I'd
have to lower it that because I'm like, I know
what my mom wol think I'm some sort of devil worshiper,
and that it was a different time. My aunts would
go to my mom, are you sure you want Stephen
listening to that? So I'd have these posters in my room,
but that's what was considered edgy. Yes the time, does

(07:29):
it start you to let something like you were listening
to it? If I would you if I could just
kill a man?

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
That was the only time my dad. Yeah, it was
the only time. My dad sort of reprimanded me. I
was listening to the O G Cypress Hill. Hey, ri
is something you can't understand? How could just kill him?

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Man?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
My dad came in.

Speaker 7 (07:46):
Amen, that's what you're listening to killing main that you
listen to me? And I was like, I don't know,
so I peril you want to kill people would row
with you. But that was that was nineties, right, But
we're going eighty six. But whatever that story is for you,
there's rules here. Yeah, we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
What you remember pushing the envelope that now when you
look back, really is nothing. Danny, I'll say it again.
He brings up the music. I think the genre of
rap in itself was there.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Was a lane in My mom used to tell me,
why can't you just listen to the positive rap because
there was like, you know, gangster rap.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, there was.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
There were different kinds of rap.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Guys like Snoop Dogg and guys like Ice Cube are
like family friendly dudes, right now, those were the most
bad dudes on planet.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Earth at one point. There was definitely edgy, there's no
question about them.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
On Yeah, there were rappers like Chuck D and kras
One and guys like that that were trying to teach
you something. And I know because of kr as well, right,
and then there was NWA and some of the gangster rap.
And my mommy remember those MEMORYX tapes that were like
pink and yellow swirl colors. Of course, my mom was
curious about what was on some of those tapes in
my bedroom while I was at school. She listened and

(08:54):
it was nw A how to blank a blank, and
she lost her mind. When I got home from school,
she said, just because we're in this environment we're in
we were in LA at the time, doesn't mean you
could listen to this raunchy music edgy either you listened
to the Either you listened to positive rap.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Music or no rap music.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Right, Yeah, And so you know, I had to be
very careful with what music I was even djaying on
my turntables in my bedrooms.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Kimino's mom give him a Karen Carpenter CD the cassette
and said, how about this?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Even I'm like, no, christ and sister, I want to rock.
But you know, back to TV too. I don't think
anyone's gonna say it, so I'll say it. Andrew Dice
Clay was as edgy as a guy because he was
doing nursery rhymes. You vibed with that as a kid,
but you didn't want your mom hearing, you repeated him
at a recess. Yeah it was, but you played dumb.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
When your mom's like, well, what's that?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know, let's go the phone calls and on the
anniversary of Fox debuting, and again it just pushed the
envelope with in living color and like we said, the
Simpsons and married with children what used to be considered
pushing the envelope. Looking back, it's pretty funny that should
we blame Fox for opening up the floodgates?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are we better off with all this smut and runch?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I have a few more great examples, but I don't
want to steal them, So let's go to Boo in Texas.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
We'll start with you. What's up, Boat?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Hey, boot Hey, we're here you man?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
What what? What was considered raunchy or or edgy back
in the day.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
Yeah, so my mom was pretty cool, like stuff like
Saturday Night Live she thought was pretty edgy, but she
let us watch it, like me and my brother and
even some of the late night stuff on HBO. But
she was like, don't don't ever tell anybody outside the house, like,
don't talk about it at school and all this kind
of stuff. Until my brother brought home the first two Live.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Crew, Oh forget about even the album cover was edgy.

Speaker 9 (10:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
Yeah, he kind of snuck it in and he was like,
look what I got And we never we never played.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
That one out, dude, there's smut everywhere now right, I mean, listen,
the younger generation. What's that fact that one out of
ten girls eighteen to twenty five has our own OnlyFans page?
Like we live in a world where, yeah, people tame.
I remember bringing home, Like if you brought home a
like a post of a girl big boobs from Spencer's
Gifts and put on your wall, your mom might have

(11:20):
been like, what are you doing? My mom had a
heart attack when I took down my Don Matting the
Hitman poster to put up some Cindy Crawford really quick.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Just to go back to what you were saying a
minute ago about how it opened things up, it did
off the air, Iowa Sam was saying that we got
to see a lot of good programming that we would
have missed out on. And also it was some creative
freedom that we still wouldn't have maybe because I worked
at NBC Sports Radio prior to this network. Most of

(11:50):
the stuff, I'll say eighty percent of what we joke
about on this show and what we're able to do,
I couldn't do on that network. We'd get yelled at
because they wanted to be more a CBS. You know
what Rich was saying before about bland and be careful
and safe and all that. And because the Fox brand
is somewhat irreverent, we're able to do things and have
fun in a way that we normally wouldn't get to.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Sure they were I'm thinking any rules. Technically, they were
just pushing them as far as they could go. I'll
tell you what, when we before here, we were I
think we're a little less fun. At ESPN, they were
a little you know, before they let McAfee so of
just do what he wants.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Before that they.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Were very like, no, no, absolutely, so back to your
phone calls because they got a bunch of answers. But
what was considered edgy back then you want to tuck
the trip.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, let's let's go to Vegas. Hey, trip in Vegas.

Speaker 10 (12:38):
Hey, gentlemen, I've been watching you all on TV. I
think you'll need money again and you're looking kind of
thin around there. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna watch the Bikini
Card Wash too when I get home on HBO. Max.
That's a great one.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Say back in the day.

Speaker 10 (12:53):
First parent advisory lyrics I had was Icy back when
he was a rapper, and then Richard Pryor. I brought
that home one time and they turned it on and
the first words out of his mouth was the effort.
My father's like, you turned that off? Yeah, I mean,
because it was a look on their face the first word.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
So it's good. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Now, honestly, it's a lot of Eddie Murphy too, you're
I mean, I remember my mom walking me out of movies,
like pulling me by my ears because it would get
too raunchy.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
I remember my mom walking out of like.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I think it was like forty eight hours Eddie Murphy movies,
like because of the language.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Do you remember just a different time.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Speaking of which, And now that you got me thinking
of even deeper stuff, now, of course there's gonna be
really good general answers, but specific movies and shows that
had a scene that made you feel uncomfortable. But looking
back now, it would be nothing in twenty twenty five tame.
But maybe back then you were like, oh my god,
because I just thought of one. We all watched this
movie a million times as a kid, Goonies when they

(13:52):
dropped the statue and the penis breaks off the statue.
Oh my god, with that little scene when you pun
attended with that scene when you you watch that and
and you know, mouth is like, yeah, that's her favorite
part of the statue that when watching that with your parents,
I remember having stomach aches.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
They gluted upside down.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, they when you were a weird part of the story, though,
is when Rich told me this earlier. He said that
giant penis, and I was like, what are you talking about.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
That is a great thought, though, Rich, because there were
certain scenes in certain VHS tapes where our parents would
make us hit the fast forward button top gun whenever
that scene would come on where he finally hooked up
with his instructor. Yeah, and it's I look back at
it now, it's such a lame love scene, but my
mom made us fast forward that every time.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's funny.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
My dad used to love the movie and probably still does.
Bachelor Party, Oh yeah, I don't even know, an I
don't know if I know that movie. And it's entirely
because my dad would let me watch. But ever so
often he would just be like, put a pillow in
front your face with us, and I would I'd I'd
have to do that. So I'm gonna steal a Danny
g answer because I felt the same thing when we said,
let's talk about this. When I was a kid, I

(14:58):
remember listening to early Howard Stern because my dad would
listen to him, and I remember he would get those
Bungo fiestas he would order those early pay per views.
I'd be sneaking down the stairs just to see what
was going on, like what are they watching over here?
But listening to those early radio programs, that was wow.
That was way edgy for the time.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
I texted you guys this morning about this topic that
in the early nineties, my mom would not let us
have Howard when he was on E. She'd make us
turn the channel. I watched so much Howard Stern on E.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, because you remember the commercials that were there during
that Girls Gone Wild commercials were those and Wild on
would be on after that.

Speaker 11 (15:37):
Were those episodes of Howard Stern like of the time
or were they like from years prior?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Now I worked with all those dudes.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Oh man, Yeah, that was that was going on before replays,
but they were all current real time.

Speaker 11 (15:52):
They're on like eleven thirty at night on E. So
were I was just that was what I watched as
like a teenager. So funny, man, I have another one
that I watched this with my mom at this show
on ABC in the mid nineties, like actually late eighties,
I think pushed the envelope. Do you guys know this
theme NYPD blue for both language and nudity.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
This show was.

Speaker 11 (16:13):
Very edgy, very raunchy, very real, and also homicide Life
on the Street we watched together.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
No, that's why it's a great answer, Sam, because you
think from today's perspective of like this was edgy and
it was that. That's how much things Yeah, that's how
much life has changed. So let's get back to the
phone calls, you know what, one more and then we'll
go to the feedback. I don't think anyone's gonna say
this one. Did you mentioned how It Stern? Yeah, I
mean he was Iver the member pig Vomit in the movie.

(16:40):
He was how It stn is the devil. I mean,
so think about where you know, especially women have learned
to really own their sexuality. Right Like back in the day,
I remember sitting in my room listening to Loveline.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
There was Doctor Judy.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I know there were other ones, Doctor Ruth, but the
Doctor Judy was a syndicated show and Rember Doctor Drew
had his show.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Love Line was a big deal.

Speaker 11 (17:04):
Wasn't Adam Carolla on that show at one point?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Adam Carolla of course.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
And now fast forward, Call Her Daddy is like one
of the top podcasts in the country, and it is
like it makes that seem like children's cartoons. What you
listen to on Loveline.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Calls actually helping people.

Speaker 11 (17:21):
People call in and they have like an STD and
they like describe it for doctor Drew and he's like, yeah,
you have.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Now Call Her Daddy just teaches women how to give
good gin. You know too.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Rich As a parent, though, you have these viversations with
your with your kids because I'll tell my daughter melody
about Beavis and butt Head or something like that. Like
with television MTV. MTV was kind of edgy, yeah, and
they had Beavis and butt heead but at the time
that was pushing the envelope even further than The Simpsons
and then of course South Park. But to me, Buttead, Yeah,

(17:52):
Ren and Stimpy, they all pushed the envelope. So a
kid will watch that today and be like, got, that's stupid,
but you have to explain to them.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, but at the time, Beeves and butt hat.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's like your parents or grandparents telling you, like, oh,
they had a blur out. They had to cut out
Elvis shaking his hips. I mean right, Women and men
didn't sleep in the same bed in television.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Until what was it The Flintstones or I Love Lucy
one of those.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, you know, she could have also sexuality. I'm pretty
certain this fun fact is Dawson's Creek in the two
thousands had the first gay kiss on television. Before that,
that was you know, where we are in twenty twenty
five compared to twenty years ago, so we've we've come
a long way. So let's go to Mike in Minnesota.
What's up, Mike?

Speaker 12 (18:35):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
You know, so you stole the love line.

Speaker 10 (18:38):
It was one of the things, Oh lookt at y.

Speaker 12 (18:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (18:41):
The other one though, that I get a kick out of.
It's like after watching a rerun of Wings or something.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Nikita Usa, Yeah, those are good ones for sure, Nikita,
Chris and Indy.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
You're on with Kevin and retche Chris.

Speaker 12 (18:58):
All right, you guys got my uh my wild on
e Rook Burke scene. Because every few minutes you can
you may be able to catch a thong, but Uh, so,
I've got another one for you.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
You guys.

Speaker 12 (19:10):
Remember the Man Show. I don't remember what channel it
was on.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
K Yeah, Corolla, Camo back in the day. Yeah, that
was that was you know, that was great. That's what
you know is ironic about Jimmy Kimmel today. I'm not
saying people don't grow and change, but that's always what
comes back at him, like, hey, you mean the guy
that had women on trampolines with the little people, And
that's fine, that's funny. It was great. In fact, I
like that version, but I mean people love to bring

(19:37):
that up. He also hosted Win Benstein's Money Right.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Of course.

Speaker 11 (19:41):
I love both of those shows. I think they're on like,
I don't know, back to back, but the same night.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I think so edgy programming, comedy, music, movies, throw Wilmore.
You sure something that used to be considered like wild right,
Oh my god? And now it's like every tattoos. Dennis
Rodman having tattoos in the NBA made him seem like
a maniac.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Without a doubt. Tell me a guy, Alan Iverson, tell
me can name it.

Speaker 12 (20:07):
Now.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
The biggest nerd on Love Is Blind has full on sleeves. Seriously,
it's it's really something that was edgy and now everybody
has them.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
The NBA. I want you to think of a player.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's hard to think of a player now that doesn't
have tattoos everywhere. Back then, Dennis Rodman was like a trailblazer, like,
can you believe he's got all those tattoos and piercings
and he dyed his hair that was considered wildest could be.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Evan in Los Angeles. You're on what's up? Buddy?

Speaker 12 (20:38):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Guys?

Speaker 12 (20:39):
I have one that's a little bit more obscure. Do
you guys remember the animated movie Heavy Metal?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I do?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
WHI yeah?

Speaker 10 (20:45):
I mean my dad like would always quote that movie.
I remember showing it to some friends and they go
home and tell their parents the next thing here not well,
are you sure it was like what you saw? Some
animated tits and ass and cursing like it over it?

Speaker 2 (20:59):
That's so funny. Man, Hey, thank you to hear what
Evan said. Catch the podcast. I don't think you can
say that word. I'm not sure if you could say that,
but please catch our podcast. All right, thank you, thank you. Sam.
So it wasn't for Fox, we couldn't say any of
the words. It was considered edgy back in the day.
You know, you could say we've come a long way,
or you could say, I don't know, we are we

(21:22):
better off?

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I don't know, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I don't want to sound like missus Grundy, I don't
want to sound prudish. But it is interesting to look
back at what we thought was dangerous and it really was,
or what we thought was edgy, and compared to today
it really wasn't not unnecessarily edgy, but like, wow, what
are like how risky?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Look around the room.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Every one of us, for the most part, has some
type of facial hair going on. Back in the day,
Like if you saw a guy with a big beard,
it would almost be like was this was out of prison?
This guy's got a beard.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
My mom would be like, what's he hiding under there?
Beard and tattoos?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
And uh, I'll give you one more and then we'll
take your feedback when we get back. Do you remember
Madonna and Britney kissing at the VMAs?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, that was considered like whoa Christina Aguilera was involved to?
That was like Harry Taboo? Can you believe it? I
nowadays college girls and guys do all these crazy things.
Remember in college when two girls would kiss for like
a free shot. It was like, oh my god, girl's
gone wild. Yeah, girls gone wild, Like you mentioned it was,

(22:24):
it was a thing. Now it's like everyone's gone wild
and loss their damn mine. All right, your feedback, your.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Calls, all that.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Next, Uh, the topic at hands on the anniversary of
Fox becoming a network. What was once edgy? That's not
really that edge anymore. All right, Well, wrapping up with

Speaker 2 (24:00):
So funny, Well, it used to be edgy, is now
like what you know what was edgy but still is edgy.
But it was really edgy for the time, basic instinct
because of one particular scene.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, you know why you ain't kidding.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Right, because that was like I took the world by storm,
Sharon Stone was naughty and your mom didn' why you're
watching that?

Speaker 5 (24:20):
No.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio love throwing it
back and reminiscing with You Here every Thursday on the
show Old School and fifty Hits the music Rental Advisory songs.
Anytime the word hell was sung or it was a
curse word in your rap song, Dan Byer, I can't
imagine listening to I Want Your Sex in front of
your parents.

Speaker 13 (24:40):
Well, I can tell you this that when I was
a kid, I bought Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue
on cassette. Oh and because well when they said kicking
you know what on the wild Side, it was in
the lyrics and my mom was not having that, so
I had to give it to my cousin. I even
tried to scribble out the word I think it would

(25:03):
be okay, it was not.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Our buddy Jeff hit us up in Alabama. He said,
with his allowance money, he went to go buy an
Eminem album and his mom immediately hold he say, he
goes one of my first seeds I bought with my
own allowance money. I got the Eminem show. My mom
took one listen and she made me return it. Dude,
any sexual reference like Belle Bivdevo do me, or any

(25:28):
time they sing about sex or push It by Sultana,
Those really, you gotta lower it when the parents were around,
because it was edgy for the time. Now that's just
pop music. They have a sex jingles that your kids
are singing to.

Speaker 11 (25:42):
Listen to Doja Cat or Crampy and you're like.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Whoa, yeah, so again edgy for the time because on
this day that show, what was that a song two
years ago? Wet ass? Yeah exactly, that's where we're at now.
So on this day the Fox network became a thing.
They pushed the envelope and the parents like, whoa, what
do you watching the Simpsons? Were you crazy? What were
those edgy things? Please continue to chime in at Covino

(26:05):
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio on social media? Could
you know is one hundred percent right when it comes
to just the word s e X Oh yeah. I
remember Madonna like a Virgin was a weird song when
it would come out, because I'm like, that would insinuate
you knew what a virgin meant around your parents, like.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh virgin, there was something very strange about him.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Man.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
I used to have to have that talk with my friends.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Oh, like if I had like some sort of lamp
wick edgy type of friend, Hey, guys, listen we don't
laugh to any dirty jokes, and we don't curse in
front of my parents. All right, I'd have to talk
with my friends before they came in the house. Let's
say hi to We'll go Rapid Fire, and then we'll
go to DB's update. We'll start with Waco Adam. You're
all with Cee and all. What's up buddy?

Speaker 14 (26:48):
Hey guys, You guys have a funny story. When I
was fifteen or sixteen, my mom and I decided to
go to the movie Theatergether. We didn't know we were
going to see, so we end up seeing something about
Mary Together.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh, the in the well, the Franken beans, the in
the hair hair, Oh my god, oh yikes.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You know it was pretty edgy. I'm gonna bring it
back to sports just for a second. It's Fox Sports Radio.
I always thought morgana the Kissing Bandit was kind of
edgy because she came out and bouncing around. If you remember,
I thought Elviro's kind of edgy. She was showing a
lot back then. I'd stay up late for it. Could
I tell you that My brother is newly single, just
went through a divorce, and it was the most cringey

(27:27):
thing is, you know, we're all adults now. My mom
in front of me and my brother said, well, Jimmy,
you're single now, like when you go on these dates,
Like how long are you waiting to have sex.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
With these random women? My brother and I like, Jesus
D Mom, that's it. My Mom's like, we're all adults. No,
we're not, Mom, we don't know. These are lines we
don't cross. We leave the room and there's a NUDI scene.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
We do not have these conversations, and you know what,
just to take you back to that mindset, we talked
about the scrambled channels. You know, you stayed up late
watching that HBO jingle, that feature presentation waiting for Rated R.
You're like, come on, rated R, let's go, yes, ate it.
Let's go back to the rapid fire. As soon as

(28:07):
you finish this lyric for me that you were scared
to sing as a kid.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Ready, Yeah, old.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Miss John Glenn, listen, beat Patterson, Pope, Paul Malcolm X,
British politician sick JFK. Blow it away. Yeah, I'm not
saying that. John and Montana, what's up, Johnny?

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (28:27):
Real quick with a rapid Fire kind of took the
Beavis buttead here, but uh, that was my whole thing
as a like an eight nine year old kid.

Speaker 12 (28:36):
And then my older brother introduced me to a little
movie called South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Way, that's great, way different. And you know what, it's
so tough to monitor as a parent, Like you're gonna
try to keep euphoria away from your teenage kids. They're
exposed to so much. It's horrible, it really is, but
like it's almost something you need to prepare air them
for because there's no way to stop it.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Our teenager watches Love Island, right, and I don't like it,
but there's no way I.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Can stop her.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
All the kids are talking about watching phone, Yeah exactly,
go to a friend's house. It's there's no way. So
they're exposed to so much. You almost have to you know,
not necessarily, you know, giving advice here, but you almost
have to just be a good parent, guide them the
right way and hope they make the right decisions because
you can't keep this stuff away from me. Right, Dan,
do you have a teenage daughter watching Love Island? What
do you think that's not gonna happen, And it's as

(29:30):
simple as them. Like for you to be exposed to something,
it's because you found it in the streets somewhere, or
you found your dad's collection or whatever happened by chance.
You almost now it's a link. Your kid opens a
link and be something terrible. So you just got to
tell them, look, that's not the norm and make good choices,
like Rich said, Now Dylan in Illinois, what's up, Dylan?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Hey, I got one.

Speaker 14 (29:53):
That kind of bas the lines of edgy. Hey, if
you guys remember talk sex Johansen, But a little old
lady would talk about everything from like positions to the
things they've been throwing on the court.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
At w NBA game.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, so that like a doctor Rufe, that's very doctor
Lennie and I were talking about.

Speaker 11 (30:13):
It was like better sex end you're getting in high school,
absolutely better. And she was a Canadian and she would
come home and I think on e after Howard Stern.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Anyone ever find it weird than in school?

Speaker 2 (30:22):
It was like the random gym teacher that had to
like talk to you guys about stuff like that. Mister
Buzzcutt taught you about that puberty, Rob, what's up?

Speaker 4 (30:34):
What up Texas.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
So back in the day when you had to pay
one hundred dollars for video membership and DHS just came
out through my uncle bringing home uh uh, risky business,
and the parents and all the adults sitting is back
to our bedrooms, good bed early and watching it.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
What I thought he was gonna say?

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I thought he was gonna say when you would go
to the video store and they had the one part
where it was behind like the beaded and like you
would see like your you know, your neighbor back there.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
What does he do?

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Can't go back there? Hiding in Florida? What's up? Hidi?

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Hey, Heidi, Hey, Hey.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
For me, I was a young teenager and I had
the album Donna Summer and she had the song loved
to love You Baby, and it went it got very orgasmic.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
That was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Wow, love me baby.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm wearing a Playboy T shirt today.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
This is in reference to a Muhammad Ali article that
they wrote in seventy four Playboy. But to think that
this doesn't even exist because we're so past the envelope,
that's not enough. It's not enough, man. Playboy was his risk.
If you got your hands on a VHS. This is
risk as a guy, Steven Odessa wrap it up and
then we'll go to Dan for an update. What's up Steve?

Speaker 6 (31:50):
What's up? Guys? A long time? Second time? I remember
and my mom worked nights, this product of a single mom.
And when I was a kid, there was a late
night show on Eastfield called The Hitchhiker.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
It was like a thirty minute kind of sludy that
kind of mixed some horror in there. But that was
like my first introduction staying up late a night just
to you know, catch thirty minutes and hoping they'd have
a nudity because I always say bad language.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah, it was great.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
It was very dud It was very tales from the
crypti ish kind of the Hitchhiker. Good one, Thank you
so much, Thanks for reminiscing with us. The rest of
your answers at Covino and rich and we still got
to get you ready for NFL Thursday night.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
But dB first, DB's got an update. What's up? Then, buyer.

Speaker 13 (32:32):
I have no idea how you could get your record
player to play backwards, but even if we could, we
were not allowed. Some of those albums and the messages
from the various rock bands and metal bands. That was
a no no. We don't have a no no going
on in Game four the nlds. But the Phillies and
Dodgers are scoreless right now on the top of the

(32:52):
third inning in their Game four, Dodgers up to one
in the series. Harrison Bader not in the lineup for
the Phillies today. Brewers and Cubs come up nine o'clock
Eastern Time in their Game four in Chicago, with Milwaukee
leading that series two to one. Former Red sax outfielder
Mike Greenwell died. He passed away at the age of
sixty two after a battle with cancer. Week six in
the NFL season starts with the Eagles and Giants eight

(33:13):
to fifteen Eastern Time. Some injury news in the NFL.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed another practice today because of
his strained hamstring. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray didn't practice he's
dealing with that foot injury, while forty nine Ers quarterback
brought Perty miss practice with his toe injury. According to ESPN,
party was spotted doing conditioning drills on the side and
the portion of practice open to the media. Patriots corner

(33:34):
Christian Gonzalez popped up on the injury report with a
hamstring injury, and sciatica is what's got Lebron James, the
Lakers forward, gonna miss the first a couple of weeks
of the NBA season, Lakers saying he's out three to
four weeks according to ESPN with sciatica on his right side,
that would rule him out of their opener against Golden
State in less than two weeks.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Guys, back to you, Jim Byer, you're a fantasy football expert.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Is it safe to say this year a lot of
bang ups a lot of guys, even if it's for
a weak or so. I feel like I feel like
every team's got a couple key offensive players that are
finding their way on and off the bench.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yes.

Speaker 13 (34:10):
I think more so now too. With the seventeen game schedule,
it's a much longer regular season. Teams aren't willing to
risk their players. It's a different ballgame than it was
twenty thirty years.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Every week in our Guillotine League, I feel like I
have to figure something out.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yes, yeah, somebody's in, somebody's out. It's a lot of fun.
Thanks for inviting us into that.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
All right, we got more, Covino and rich we'll go
over Tonight's Thursday and at football matchup. Is it all
about Jackson Dart tonight? Or is it all about Eagles
domination in Philly? Will break that all down next right
here on Fox Sports Radio. There's just five words to

(34:48):
say as.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
You go down, down, down, Oh, I gotta lower it.
My mom's coming. Oh lower it.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Ah, What are you listening to, Steven?

Speaker 1 (35:01):
How are you the devil? No, my mom's virgineers.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
You can't believe all the things that go wrong in
my life. I was such a rebel little kid. I
had the best childhood. I was so mad try and.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Not live on the at.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Chabanna the Snyder my hero bro So Covino and rich Man.
I used to lower these lyrics anytime my mom was around.
And ironically, rich twisted sister joined forces with my other hero,
Peewee Herman in the movie nineteen eighty five pew Weeks
Big Adventure. He crashes the video shoot for You're Gonna

(35:41):
Burn in Hell if you guys remember so, we're throwing
it back on a Thursday. Covino and rich can't wait

(36:24):
in front of your parents, it was a nightmare. I
remember hell was a dirty word, yea in hell Like
I remember doing a talent show and it was bon
Jovi and I wasn't great. I was like fifth grade
or whatever you promised me Heaven, you put me through hell. Right,
we had to say put us, put you through pain
or hack or something that because you couldn't say that

(36:46):
in front of people because it was pushing the envelope.
You know, different from today's world you know, it's the
dirty word in today's world. My kids will say, like
you said the S word. I'm like, I said the
S word, like poop like that, Like no, Dad, you
said stupid. I'm like my kids thinks like kids now

(37:07):
they good though, you want.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
To Yeah, teachers, yeah, teachers will tell the kids something if.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
They hear that, like stupid, dumb, and like words that
demean others. So I was reading Doctor Suss the other
day and there's like what was they like? We're reading
like one fish, two fish, red fish, bluefish, and like
they're like and the fat one am? I was like,
who is fat a dirty word?

Speaker 5 (37:29):
There?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
That's a dirty word.

Speaker 11 (37:30):
They wanted to like take fat out of like a
roll doll book, like somebody didn't.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
I'm like not doing That's a word? What what's a descriptor?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
I feel was coming back? Fa Fats was making a
come back. Came back in my living room last night
when I was watching Big Poppy. Well then you said,
Alejandro Kirk, we'll get that fat. I'm like, be nice,
be nice. He beat your Yankee came back yesterday for
me when I was watching Yankees loose.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
All right, So tomorrow Rich's big TV Game of the Week.

I think we prefer it is. So you want to
call up tomorrow play Brainway for some CNR prizes. Get
you ready for the weekend with weekend hob Nobbin. But
right now, Rich, get us ready for Thursday night football.
Eagles at the Giants. Are we hyped about Jackson dart or?
What is this his big like main stage premiere, Like

(38:17):
we're all tuning in watching this, dude.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
The games at the Meadowlands.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
People hate that field, people hate the you know, the conditions.
But it's in New York Division rival Thursday night. You
got to ask yourself what's going to go down tonight?
Eagles at Giants. I don't like to overthink these things
because truthfully, we've been doing a pretty good job on
these teaser bets on Thursday nights and Monday nights.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
In fact, Wait, wait, you're being humbled nine and oh
I'm nine and oh so I'm like, so now you're nervous,
cause so weary.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I don't want to overthink it, but my instinct is
bringing me somewhere, so follow me here. And I think
so the Eagles are seven and a half point favorites
in New York. Well, I do think it'll be fun
to watch Jackson dart and while I do think all
eyes on and you know, see what happens, and you
know cam scataboo and maybe you got some new gloves

(39:08):
will hold onto the ball.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
I like taking that teaser bet seven and a half,
making it one and a half.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I think Philadelphia wins, so Philly minus one and a half.
The over under is forty one and a half. I'm
tempted to go up to forty seven and a half
and taking the under. I just don't see a ton
and ton a ton of points being scored. So I'm
liking under forty seven and a half Philly minus one
and a half. Lock that in as your teaser bet.

(39:35):
Don't see what happens. And by the way, Danny, you
may have just caught a big break and error by
the Philadelphia Phillies now has the Dodgers with first and third,
two down.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
You got and you got.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Mookie Betts at the plate against Sanchez and diving played
by Bryce Harper gets.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Out of the inning.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
That right, there was a that was a we said
Bryce Harper, He's going to be the guy So you
got your Phillies, Dodgers, you got your Brewers Cubs, and
of course your Eagles Giants, and we'll be talking about
it tomorrow on the show. So I helpe all your
teams win. I hope you make some money moves.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
So you think Moncey jinkh yesterday they wore an a
Yankee shirt. Dude, If she did, I'm never talking to
her again. Oh hi, Manzi, Oh what's going on?

Speaker 15 (40:22):
I wasn't listening.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Did you still start over? You Jinks Cadino yesterday bout
wearing a Yankee shirt?

Speaker 15 (40:27):
You know what, I'm sorry, I felt that I felt
the same way anymore. I wore it because I was
like Aaron Judge finally, you know, like, I will not
take slander on just only a few people in my life,
my mom, Taylor Swift, Aaron Judge, Blake Griffin.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Stop, I like that, you like that less?

Speaker 6 (40:43):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (40:44):
So I'm not taking everybody.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Shut up and put the blame on Anthony Volpi. Now,
Manzi set fire to it was Arson Judge. She actually
wearing Arson Judge shirt.
