(00:22):
Did you hear what Jerry Seinfeld said, I don't like
Caleb Williams fingernails. No, I didn't say that. Caleb Williams
is part of a big announcement today, as Moncey Bolano said,
and Dan Byer told us, I believe August sixth the
Bears hard knocks. I'll be tuning in and thank you
guys for tuning in to us Covino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. Let's hear it for Danny Ja Yeah, Hey,
(00:46):
happy Thursday. Hell yeah, let's hear it for Iowa Samuel?
What up Iowa sam and Manzi is still hanging out,
but I think Dan Byers coming back. But it's one
big Fox Sports Radio party. What up Monzi? It's like
a tag team situation over there. Yeah, does he take
you out? We're doing a double team here? Whoa is
that in your new contract. Thank you, Monci. What would
(01:09):
you say there? Are they sort of like uh, demolition bushwhackers.
They're like accent smash, yeah, demolition. We started the show,
and you heard the the show open with Mike Tyson
and I have a trivia question for you guys to
start the show. Sure. I was in Denver, Colorado, Colorado
Springs to be exact, the Springs, and my nephews like,
(01:33):
Uncle Rich, can you play video games with me? And
I'm like, yeah, let's do it. So I start playing
some of his video games. And I'm weak because I don't,
you know, you're a grown ass man. You don't really
know some of the newer video games. You're not going
to compete with a teenager. And he said, I have
all the old games too, So I go break out
Mike Tyson's punch Out just for a minute, and just
(01:56):
like that, I felt like I was back in my
little Mike Tyson's punch out rhythm. Remember King Hippo hit
him in the face one time and then belly belly
belly belly knock him out one time. He's done, yees
pants fall down. You remember the whole thing. Don Flamenco
with the big hooks. You just move away one time
and you get them. Because this was punch Out, Mike
Tyson took his name off it, obviously because of Wright's reasons.
(02:21):
The guy at the end is not Mike Tyson. It's
a white version of the same figure Nintendo created. Who
is the last guy you face on punch Out? When
it's not Mike Tyson's punch out, Mister Sandman, you have
Super Macho Man, Soda Popinski. It's not Piston Honda. They
were the same body type. Piston Honda and Tyson were
(02:44):
the same in the video game Mike Tyson's punch out
in the final In the actual arcade, it was Baul Bull,
it was Glass Joe. It's different, you're saying the regular
Nintendo version was it? Mister Sandman? Good guy, but not
you know, you fight Piston Honda a couple of times,
a couple of times you get von Keiser. Yeah, mister Dream,
(03:08):
mister dreamed, mister dream. Because I told my nephew I
got I got. You want to hear some mental muscle
memory from Uncle Rich's childhood double O seven three seven
three five nine six three the little punching sound, and
I'm like, wait, a minute. That's not Mike Tyson. That's
white Mike Tyson because you know the graphics back then,
(03:30):
it was really just Mike Tyson, but with light skin.
And they call mister Dream.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, I remember my cousin playing that would not share
the controller.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Mister Dream looks like Howie Long. He fights how We
Long at the end of the game. But remember your
starting lineup figures that you put on your dresser as
a kid. They were all the same. They just changed
the uniforms and the color of the skin, let's be honest.
So it's like, yeah, it's like bubbleheads when we were kids. Colors.
(04:00):
Who was the catcher of the Dodgers in the eighties,
Mike Sosha, You're Mike Soshia. Starting lineup was Mike Gary Carter.
They just added a perm and it said the same thing, right,
same mold, Yeah, same mold. So uh yeah, mister Dream.
For all the old school Nintendo nice freaks, I saw that.
I'm like, mister Dream, Huh, doesn't have the same pizazz
(04:20):
as Mike Tyson's funny great fighting. You're an upper coming boxer.
That was the arcade man. I used to look body blow,
body blow I used to wet so many quarters body blow,
and there was always some kid trying to jump in
my game. Body blow, body blow. So thank you guys.
Speaking of eighties kids, nineties kids, we're gonna throw it
back today, Throwback Thursday, Old school in fifty hits. It
(04:41):
involves the eighties and nineties and social media. What we'll explain,
and of course we might argue about Lenny Kravitz. He's
also in the news along with Jerry Seinfeld, who wants
some masculinity back. And I figured we'd start off today's
show rich with Jorge Lopez and what happened yesterday with
(05:04):
your Mets who were about to get swept. It's embarrassing.
The state of the Mets is embarrassing. Francisco Lindor Nimo.
They call the team meeting after getting beat again, and
I'm like, I don't know, do team meetings work. Maybe
once in a while that pumps better than not having one.
I don't know if they work, but doing nothing also
doesn't work. I saw Mets owner Steve Cohen, now that
(05:27):
was before the blown game, after a game against the Dodgers,
saying that he still thinks the Mets are a wildcard team,
a playoff team. Let me tell you third worst record
in the National League with a payroll like that and
high hopes, and I think all the feelings of Met
fans and Mets players came out through Jorge Lopez yesterday. Well,
(05:52):
this is a question of was Jorge Lopez misquoted? Was
it a language barrier, or is it the media stirring
things up again? And you don't have to decide. It
could be a little bit of everything here. I think
we can all agree that if he wasn't misquoted, he
wasn't necessarily wrong. The Mets stink. So it's very frustrating,
(06:14):
but all right, so the progression of events, he argues
a check swing by Freddie Freeman umpires had enough, you're
out here, throws out Lopez on the way to the
dugout in total frustrated, Like the guy's playing Rex softball
or high school baseball. When you let your emotions get
the best of you. The guy takes his glove, throws
(06:38):
it over the netting into the crowd. Some lucky fans
holding up a sweet new black leather rawlings kind of
make it clear if you haven't seen it. Though, it
wasn't like an aggressive throw into the stands. It was
almost like a frustrated toss out. There's a pop up. Yeah,
it was like it was just a toss up into
the stands, almost like here you go, I'm done with this.
(06:59):
But he saw me out of fans. Nonetheless, untucked his jersey,
had like an f everyone look on his face and
beg throws. I just don't want the visual to be
off because when you say he threw the glove into
the stands, he could have throw it like at a fan,
you know what I mean, That's not what happened. I
think it was worse that he untucked the jersey, just
had that apathetic like oh no, givenn f Look, yeah,
(07:20):
it's not something you loss, is it. And then here's
where the real dramatics start. Like already it's like, oh man,
the Mets are in such a bad spot as a
team that, like I said, sort of symbolizes where they're
at this year. In fact, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez,
you know, a couple of Mets legends on the broadcast
(07:41):
were sort of like, man, that's just that's a bad look.
That just that just shows where the team's at. Like
that's like I said, symbolic of the fails so far
in the twenty twenty fourth campaign. But then they get
to the locker room. Everyone has a moment to cool
down and our former coworker, really good dude, Steve Gelps,
who's like the main sideline reporter for SNY. We had
(08:04):
a TV show throw back Thursday on s n Y
Live from Times Square, and we were working there when
Steve Gelbs was just getting his feet wet. He replaced
why am I ding a blank? I'm gonna let you
try to find the name Kevin Burkhart. I was gonna
say KB. KB was the guy, and man, he had
some swag back then. Fil he has some swags still,
(08:27):
but Burkhart was the guy. Gelbs replaced him. So we
were there when all that happened in transitioned. So Gelb's
been doing this for like a decade now. Yeah, gets
to talk to Jorge Lopez and you're thinking, oh, here's
this guy's opportunity to say I overreacted, my mad sorry
to my teammates, and Gelp starts with the you regretitakea listen,
(08:53):
I don't regret it.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I think I've been looking the worst deam in probably
in the whole MLB, So you know, whatever happened happened.
So whatever they want to do it, I'll be tomorrow
here if they want me, you know, whatever they want
to do. So I'm gonna keep doing this thing, you know,
so I'm healthy on whatever, you know, whatever to do.
(09:19):
You know, I'm I'm ready to come back tomorrow and
the day one may be here, so I'll be here.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well you're not here because a couple hours later he
was let go by the New York Mets. But there's
a part of this we're missing. Did did Did you
get the follow up from Gelves? Galves wanted to clarify,
hold on, did you just say that you're playing for
(09:46):
the worst team in the MLB? And he sort of confirms, like, yeah,
that's what I said. But still, when you listen to
what he actually said, he says teammate. He does say teammate,
So there's a a clear language barrier because Gelps does
the investigation and he does say, hey, is that what
you meant? And he does, Lopez does double down and yeah,
(10:08):
that's what I meant. But then you fast forward to
today and he said, no, no, no, no, that's not
what I said. He says, he's talking about himself being
a bad teammate. He didn't call the Mets the worst
team in MLBRIGHT. Take a listen to the follow up
from Gelps just.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
To clarify what what you said, just because I didn't
fully understand. Did you say I'm on the worst team?
Is that? Is that what you had said?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Probably it looked like.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Then that they were embarrassed by you. Is that what
you Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Probably looks like yeah, but he's just saying, are you
saying you're on the worst team? Probably looks like. I know,
Gelves is doing a great job and he's great at
what he does, so it's no knock on him, but
I think he almost put those words in his mouth
at that point. Guy said, not listening to words that
Lopez said, says teammate when you're reading the script, because
(11:03):
when this clip went viral, you're reading and it says
team yeah, but you're like, hold on, he said, teammate.
So you have to believe the guy when he comes
back later on and says, wait, hold on, language barrier,
that's not what I said. I said I'm the worst teammate.
And then when you listen to what he says, after that,
he's talking about himself and about him and him and him,
(11:23):
So I do believe him. It's really a question of
do you believe the original story or is the media
just stirring things up, or do you believe the follow up,
which came out today courtesy of s N Y and ESPN,
he said he doesn't regret it. And then I heard
him say, I play for the worst. You're half in
team in baseball. This is a matter of green needle
And what was that brainstorm?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Brainstorm right when you texted this to all of us
in the group chat yesterday afternoon, Rich Coveno and I
heard the same thing the very first time we played
the clip. In fact, what did I tell you Covina?
Right after we looked at.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It sounded like he said team. Yeah, I was like,
wait a second, it sounded like he said teammate. But
the story was he said team, and that's why he
was designated for assignment because it's a bad look and
nobody needs that type of attitude in the locker room.
And then going public with that sort of statement. I
also don't think Steve Gelbs led him. I think Steve
(12:19):
Gelbs No, no, I think Steve gelbs heard what I
heard and stuff like that was his intent. Rich I
just said, it sounds like he fed him something and
he disagreed with it, like yeah, yeah, I guess yeah,
probably play one more time. I mean, I don't. Again,
I don't think Gelves was looking for something salacious. I
think he genuinely heard like I don't either, But like
that clear, I'm not saying Gelves was looking for the
(12:42):
salacious headline. I think that's what he thought he heard,
but that's not what he said.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I don't regret it. I think I've been looking the
worst demon probably than the whole MLB. So you know,
whatever happened happened. So whatever they want to do this,
I'll be tomorrow here if they want me, and you know,
whatever they want me to st there.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I think he hears said the worst team in the
hall F and MLB. I heard team, And so you
could believe whatever you want, right and you could believe
the story that came out yesterday, which was he said team,
or you could believe what came out today. That's really
what it comes down to. You do you believe what
came out yesterday or do you believe what came out today?
Which is he saying. I didn't say that. I said
(13:28):
I was a bad teammate. I didn't call the Mets
the worst team in the MLB. He was talking about himself. Yeah,
that's also courtesy of s n Y as of today
and ESPN, who reported it. That's what he said. He said,
I don't regret it, but I was. He was frustrated
with himself. So it's really a matter of what you believe.
What do you believe? Is he doing damage control today? Absolutely?
(13:52):
In fact, the last thing smy tweeted, the last thing
sounds like a major language barrier. The last thing the
Mets Network s n Y put on social media was
a progression of the events. Seven PM questions the check swing,
seven oh one PM ejected, seven oh one throws a
glove into the stands. Fast forward a couple hours now,
(14:13):
we're looking at nine o'clock. He gets let go by
the team. Yeah, but five hours ago he's saying, won't
that's not what he said. Take that was the latest report.
Take a listen to the follow up from GELBS yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Just to clarify what what you said, Just because I
didn't fully understand, did you say I'm on the worst team?
Is that? Is that what you had said?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Probably it looks like is.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
That how you got it?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Probably looks like.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
The language rich You know how some guys have translators
and we know they don't really need them. In this case,
it sounds like he really needs one because it doesn't
sound like he understands the follow up question.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Can I tell you Jorge Lopez loves both of you?
And you know what I for his dake kill get
a another chance somewhere, probably, but he's hoping that everyone
is on team Danny gene Cavino where it's like language barrier. Regardless,
he wasn't wrong because your Mets are guarding everything about
his attitude from arguing the pitch, throwing the glove in
the stands. Is that not sort of on brand with Yeah,
(15:15):
I'm on the worst fan team? Like it seems like
the guy had a moment. He did what everybody on
that team wants to do. And it's a matter and
Fox Sports Radio Nation, we leave it to you. You
heard where I stand. It's a matter of do you
believe the original story or do you believe the latest
story from sn Y It's the same source, the same source.
And then ESPN reported this five hours later, five hours ago,
(15:38):
that that's not what he said, or that's what he's saying.
That's not what he said. He said teammate, not team.
But if he said team, on a personal note me personally,
I don't blame him. I don't blame him one bit.
If that's what he said. Well, see, according to it's
funny usually getting all these different sources and a big
(16:00):
sports writer in New York that followed up with, well,
because that's the juicier story, though followed up with he
said both when when asked again, like, yeah, I'm a
bad teammate and I'm on the worst team. Well, because
that's what Kelbs led him to say, He's like, is that?
(16:21):
He said, He's like, yeah, probably. I mean we heard
it three times. You make the call. I'm telling you
where I stand on it, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. But it did make me think this. We
hear stories, we hear rumblings, we watch it with our
own eyes to see how frustrating it is sometimes when
you're playing for a bad team. But I don't think
(16:41):
we really understand how bad it could get, like how
miserable and toxic it could gets. In the locker room
when things are that bad, you know what I mean, Like,
that's how frustrating. What we saw is what people usually
keep behind closed doors in the locker room, as they should.
I'm not defending his behavior. I'm just saying I understand.
(17:03):
I think we fail to realize sometimes how bad it
really gets because we've never really been there. Imagine being
under those bright lights one hundred and sixty two games
with people that don't care, with people that are half
fast in it, not putting the heart and effort that
you put into it. You're just losing every day, embarrassing,
your values going down. You're struggling, You're mentally struggling. We
(17:26):
don't know the nightmare that they go through if you
we hear about it. Heard athletes talk about the difference
in a clubhouse or locker room of a winning team
and a losing team. In fact, this is about as
close as you're going to get to see it. I mean,
I have an example of that. I'll tell you in
a second. But nine to nineteen last night, this is
after the GELBS interview. Anthony Dicomo, who is a big
reporter in New York for sports, works with SNY Regarding
(17:49):
the confusion of whether or not Lopez was on the
worst team or was the worst teammates, Lopez explained to
teammates and other medias the members of the media that
it was a combination of both. He claims that he's
the worst teammate on the worst team. Well, that's what
he said, and then he also just agreed with Gelves.
What aren't you hearing now, you're confusing me because you're
(18:11):
going back to nine pm yesterday. What I'm telling you
five hours ago. The update is he said he was
the worst teammate. It's right here. It's right here. So
why are you sticking with that because we're seeing things
on the same timeline. Because I'm seeing on SNY, the
(18:31):
Mets Network, on Instagram four hours ago what I'm reading
to you now, okay, five hours ago on ESPN via SNY.
That's not what he said. That's not what he said.
And again that could be that could be great pr
damage control. Let's get this guy picked up somewhere else.
Let's not make him the worst. I'm with you, there, Rich,
(18:53):
I'm with you. Could be just the Hey, they spun
it because it sounded like he could have said both,
but I do believe, he said teammate, I do, and
then he was sort of led somewhere else, and at
a frustration, he agreed, Look, there's a language barrier here,
as you've been saying over and over again the past
few days. You got to give him some grace here.
(19:15):
He's playing for the weakest team. No one's going to
debate that. I think there's a language barrier. I do.
So what you're saying is yes, yes, ce see. Oh
so I guess he is saying it. Yeah. Probably. He's
been playing in the Big since twenty fifteen from Puerto Rico.
What do you guys think it's interesting? Actually, he's a
(19:38):
really good question. It's a matter of do you believe
the original story or do you believe the update. I
don't know. It's not a guy that came up through
the Mets system, so it's not like he owes them
anything like a lot of foreign players. Yeah, feel like
a closeness to the team that drafted them from a
foreign land. They have that connection, right. This is a
(19:59):
guy that's been through the big Milwaukee Brewers. He started
with Dan Buyer's team in twenty fifteen. Kansas City Royals,
Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins, Miami Marlins, Baltimore again. Then the
Mets just a thought, could they be? I think they're
just trying to go easy on this guy because it
was it's the Mets are in a rough spot and
the guy's been let go, so go somewhere else. You know,
(20:23):
you'll fill someone else's. But I do hear a teammate.
I hear teammate. You know, he did throw his glove,
he did show frustrations. It's possible. He said team and
again he's been again. When you read team, you hear team.
He's you're thinking teammate or can you do me a favork?
(20:44):
Can you do an experiment? Yeah, can you think teammate?
And maybe you'll hear teammate. I was Samuel. If you
don't mind one more time, everybody, Fox Sports, Radio, Nations,
close your eyes unless you close your eyes and think teammate. Okay,
I don't regret it.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I think I've been looking the worst team in probably
in the whole MLB. So you know, whatever happened happened.
So whatever they want to do it, I'll be tomorrow
here if they want me, and you know, whatever they
want to do, so.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
He's talking about repercussions after being the worst teammate in
the MLB.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That's how I took it, That's how I heard it.
I did too. I was like, it didn't sound like
you said team to me. Well he'll he'll find the
new home. Yeah, he's no longer met and by the way,
good for him. You always want to get off that
team too. You could say, what a bush league baby,
move right, what a sports baby throwing his glove and
crying and breaking unwritten rules of disparaging your team and
(21:45):
teammates to the public. But he got out of that nightmare.
So you there's another discussion in itself by doing the
wrong thing. Did he do the right thing for himself?
I don't know. So get a lot of phone calls
on this boy. What a wild day, Jenny g You
see just what news alerts came on. Yeah, listen, We're
(22:06):
gave you the headline.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And I said, I'm not sure if you guys want
to discuss this, but maybe maybe at least acknowledged, let's
say this.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We'll take your phone calls and feedback on Jorge Lopez.
Do you believe the original story or the spin or
the update? However, you want to look at it, let
us know, and do you think he did the right
thing after all? Because he's off the Mets now designated
for assignment.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sometimes maybe maybe he did the Maybe that was the
great move all along? Yeah, right, unpopular but worked out
to his benefit. We'll see, wow, and we'll take your
phone calls on that. But Rich, give us the breaking
random news you got. Yeah, Donald Trump guilty on all
thirty four felony charges and he'll be sentenced on July eleventh.
(22:49):
What will happen there for the hush money trial? And uh,
it's interesting because I did read something yesterday about the
judge is could be the one that we'll be able
to assign, whether it's jail related or probation related. So
that's that's very interesting, is that that we're going to
(23:09):
have our first president who's elected behind bars. It's a mess.
Could be, could be. That's so he gets sworn in
from the from the Big House. Again, this is not
a political show, but the real question is a breaking
new making news. If he is well, I heard this,
the appeals alone would take us past the election. So
(23:34):
if he's elected president, which a lot of us think
is likely, and then the appeal. This is a mess. Huh,
woll buckle up, Buttercup. It's a mess. It's a mess. Hey,
Donald Trump, are you guilty of all thirty four charges?
See see probably, which which.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
You thought your mets were a mess? He threw his
glove into the stands.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
See probably.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
The question is what athlete will voice their opinion? First?
I know Robert de Niro, the Raging Bull. No, he's
doing cart we own outside the courthouse. I saw Dennis Quaid.
Could you call him an athlete? Since he's been in
and he's a clown. He's a punk. He's not a
real New Yorker. He's a punk. Do you see Dennis Quaid, though,
(25:12):
who's played an athlete in more than one way? That
Trump's his a hole. He's voting for Trump. Yeah, so
I mean, like I saw that, I wonder what athlete.
Will there be a big time athlete in the NFL,
NBA somewhere that comments on the Trump trial Harrison Budker,
I don't know, Yeah, someone somewhere, kelsee, Yeah, that's breaking news.
(25:37):
Well the hush money, yeah, Covington maybe hush money charges again,
guilty on all thirty four charges. And then I played
you some deep purple Iowa, Sam played you some deep
purple hush. But I'm just doing this out there. There's
a great cover by Coolest Shaker if you want to
check it out. Coolest Shaker had a cover of that
song back in the late nineteen hundreds, I believe ninety six.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Anyway, I'm by the way, really quick. Conspiracy theories rolling
in on Facebook already. Trump's sentencing set for July eleventh,
four days before the Republican National Convention starts.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's a conspiracy, Come on, Man debate. Does it give
a little more posaster to that debate. Remember we said
the two big showdowns this summer June twenty seventh, Trump
Biden and then Jake Paul Mike Tyson July twentieth, So
you know, politics aside. And by the way, you know
what the funny thing is when you do sort of
try to see all sides of things, everyone hates you.
(26:34):
Our liberal friends call us, you know, right wing Trumpers,
and our Republican friends say we're la Weeni's living out
here on the West Coast, which means you're in the middle,
which means you're in the middle because if republic normal,
if Republicans say you're liberal, and liberals say you're a Trumper,
that means, uh, you sort of an independen, which means
you take each social issue or one financial issue one
(26:56):
by one and you make a good logical decision. It's
a hard plate, it's a hard life to live. And
by the way, we get that feedback every day all
the time, because not only do we do our show
here on Fox Sports Radio, we also have a Patreon
and you should see the feedback we get. And it's like, Noell,
clearly that means we're in the middle, guys to be shocked.
It's like, how could one how could a liberal person
(27:17):
say this about and a Republican say this? It's wild.
But hey, let's uh, let's talk Lopez for a second.
They'll go to Dan Bai for an update. There's the
other story that's dividing the nation. See this is small
potatoes now. Whoor hey Lopez thrown is Glove in the
stands saying that he is on the worst team or
is he saying he's the worst teammate? It doesn't really
(27:37):
matter now, but either way, sort of a fun story.
Who do we got, DANNYJ Let's go to Brian in Missouri. Brian,
what's up?
Speaker 9 (27:44):
Hey, guys, great show, great topic.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Thanks man.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
I think if you listen back to it, he says,
I've been looking and I think he did not say
the word like looking like the worst blanking teammates in
the MLB. I think it's the word like because of
his language. Barrier is missing in that sentence. If you
put it in there, he is talking about himself.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yes, and by the way, if you're right, man, it's
sort of unfair, It really is, and there will be
a lot of people that have his back, because that's
that's not fair. Here's a guy who doesn't speak English
that well, yeah, Rich, that headline caught fire. Truthfully, everybody
ran with it. It's the funny part is no one's
hating on this guy because it's funny because the Mets
(28:30):
are so bad right now that he's not getting real.
But he was designated for assignment as a result. No,
he was desnatd for Simon because he's been stinking it
up and that was probably just the icing on the cake.
And well, the whole team should be designating for assignment.
You know what, I don't disagree. Well, more quickie, what
do we got? Curtis in San Bernardino, California, Kurt Ti, Hey,
(28:50):
buddy Fellas, what's up?
Speaker 10 (28:54):
All right? So I think there's a language barrier.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The part that got me was where he was saying that,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Maybe to me, if he just said the team sucks,
he would have been like, yeah, yeah, no, they suck
or whatever.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
But to me it sounded like it was a little
bit of so doubt.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
So he was like, yeah, yeah, I guess maybe I'm
my worst player in our worst teammate.
Speaker 11 (29:11):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You know, bro, he is a ten year major leaguer.
He'll be fine. It's a funny story. We'll forget about
it by the end of the day. But I remember
last night Danny g and I and Covino, we were like,
what is this true? We're you know, texting each other
different articles and clips and stuff because people want that
juicy story. I kind of wanted that. You want, No,
for real, it's it's a better story. It's we're sallacious
(29:34):
if it's bleed. If it bleeds, it leads. And we
wanted to believe that. He said that it's the worst
team in MLB history, But it's not, according to him,
It's not what he said. Now I've been watching the Mets.
He's not far off, all right, Dann Buyer, Let's get
an up dates, all right, guys?
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Game five tonight Mavericks and Timberwoves, eight thirty Eastern Time.
MAVs up three to one. Derek Lively questionable because of
that neck injury. Twins beat the Royals today seven and six,
while the Rays were six five winners against Oakland in
twelve while in Milwaukee.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Garry's said chest at the bottom of the eighth gifts.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
The Brewers away to run Sean on the Brewers Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
They beat the Cubs today six to four. You know what,
look at the clock, fifty has hit. There's a certain
What we gonna do is go back.
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, yeah, boy, he said. Already social media is gonna
be a nightmare tonight. Everybody with their opinions. This did. Yeah,
Divided States of America continues tonight. Whatever season two forty nine,
it's gonna suck tonight. But speaking of social media and
(31:04):
speaking of throwback Thursday, we throw it back went fifty hits,
and we ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation to pretend
with us, throw it back with us back to the eighties,
the nineties, when you were rocking your parachute pants, playing
pac Man, when you had your mushroom haircut, listening to
sound Gordon. Hell yeah, let's pretend it's the eighties or
(31:28):
the nineties. Run DMC, and you have social media, you
have Facebook. Let's just say face. By the way, do
you remember the first time someone described certain social medias
to you. Yes, I remember Comino. It was your it
was it your ex. Yeah, there's this thing Twitter that
you put down your thoughts, and I remember you being like,
who cares about that? That's stupid. I remember my buddy Nico,
(31:50):
one of our good friends. We saw in Arizona, Danny
g He's like, yo, man, there is this new thing Instagram.
I was like, so that's like Facebook or MySpace with
just pictures, and he's like, yeah, but it's gonna be big.
I don't think so, how would anyone want to see
my pictures? That's dumb. I don't know. But my Space,
I ate, is so stupid. Just for the record, we're
coming up on twenty one years almost right now, the
(32:10):
twenty year anniversary of when my space was founded. So
so my friendship with Tom has been twenty years long.
You've been peals with Town. You've known Tom just a
little longer than Tom. Here's everybody's friend. So the question
is this in the world of social media. As we
just said, my Space launched twenty years ago. Let's pretend
it's the eighties or nineties. Let's pretend to the eighties
(32:32):
or nineties and you have social media you have Facebook.
What's something you would have posted back then? It could
be sports related, it could be star related, could be anything.
So let's pretend you had social media back then? What
would you have posted? Or ask yourself what events? Whether
they be sports, politics, news events, tragedies, happy things like
(32:53):
one of my biggest flexes your home runs in literally
well you know why, my god? Would you took the
words right out of the I would would have posted
your status. Yeah, I would have posted my little league stats.
Not even Aaron Judge could claim he had twenty seven
out of the park. I would have definitely been posting that.
Covino would have made his parents like, Mom, Dad, do
(33:15):
you put together like you like a little compilation of
my home.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Runs like a video Colague Well VHS compilation?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Post that on Facebook. Make the family proud, for sure.
But think about your flexus or maybe the teams that
you would for. What would you have posted it existed?
Think about when Michael Jordan here's a good one. When
mj stepped away from basketball and there were the rumors
like did he step away or did the NBA secretly
tell him lee for a little while, you don't think
that would have been the big, most controversial talked about
(33:44):
social media story. Of course it would. I think we
would have viewed his career completely different. Well you know
what your thoughts at Coveno Ritch or eight seven seven
nine nine on Fox Next. I would have taken a
picture of one of my my favorite things to brag about.
Back then, I grew up in New Jersey and Cavaricci's
(34:04):
were a big deal. I was the only half breed
Mexican Italian kid rocking Cavalricci's and iou sweatshirts from Chess
King and Merry Go Around. If you remember those stores, dude,
I promise you I had thirty five pairs of cavarici
my friends. My friends would come over and they would
be like, oh, no way, let's see the collection, and
(34:26):
I'd be like, cut up, but I'm not thirty five
perfectly folded pairs of Cavaricci pants their pants. If you
don't know, can I tell you, I'm yeah, ridiculous, heard
this before, but thirty five. I don't believe you. Yeah,
And I had a sweatshirt to go every pair. Thirty
five spoil as hell. I don't believe it because Caviriccie
is like one hundred dollars, which means your parents spend
(34:46):
thousands of dollars on your stupid pants. Snh vending was
rolling back then, bro, dad was doing good. Your caption
would have been which one should I wear today? Yes,
with the sunglass emoji, like what's up?
Speaker 9 (34:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I remember the Zekevriccie pant rage of like maybe early
nineties had a hard time decided. Kids even that had
money had like two or three pairs thirty five. Like, honestly,
you know why because I was the greatest kid. I
was spoiled because I was a good kid.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I feel you guys were part of this too. I
don't know if listeners know this. We were all in
a bike gang when we were kids, eighties, nineties kids.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
BMX is Mongoose Diamondback. We were a couple of the
other brands GTT Sweet Pegs. You know, we would have
at least posted about where we were meeting up with
friends for our BMX jumps.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
We would have took pictures of the jumps we made. Dude,
that's a great one. You know why because when I
talked to my teenage daughter, she'll ask me things like, well,
how did you guys know where to meet up, and
it's like, I don't know, we had like intuition or
conversations or something. I don't know. I recently asked was
asked this question by my niece, So that would be
a sweet tweet, right, meeting at the street light in
two hours. And he asked me, well, when you were
(36:01):
in college, how'd you meet up with your friends at
the bar or somewhere a game? And I said, you
know what, yeah, then back then in college and I'm
not that old. I went to college in the early
two thousands, not everyone had a cell phone. In fact,
it was the time where like occasionally, every so often
another friend got a cell phone, like oh you got
a cell phone. Now, early two thousands, you were still
(36:23):
rocking dry erase boards on the dorm room doors. You'd
be like, Hey, we're going to We're going to Chuck's.
We're going to Chuck's bar at nine o'clock. And then
it was like if you were there, you were there.
That's the fun of like bumping into people like you
made it, you're here, Like you know what else? You
would have posted too on social media if it existed
in the eighties and nineties, if you were fortunate enough
(36:44):
to go to a baseball card show or some sort
of convention, comic book or something and you got to
meet a celebrity back then, like no way, Claudelle Washington's
here signing autographs. You would definitely have posted that picture
of you and Tough Rich. Yeah, take a picture with
Vince Evans. Eah, yeah, me and Butch Wine geru bro.
(37:05):
Don't be jealous. Think of hashtag you wish you were
me right now. Think of all the eighties and nineties
hot women that made zero dollars for being hot, and
they're probably very jealous of the influencers of today. Like
there's a good looking women today that do nothing more
than like have a little ten second jingle of a
TikTok song, turn to the side, pop their butt and
(37:28):
like wink at the camera, and it's like twelve thousand,
I'm sorry, twelve million views. They're probably women in the
eighties or nineties, like, man, I wish I could have
just put it out there like that and made money.
They had to find modeling contracts and you know, go
the hard route. Think about it. It's the eighties nineties,
Like we said in our fantasy throwback old school in
fifty hits. What would you have been posting back then?
It could be sports related, doesn't have to be. You
(37:50):
gotta think about the way we lived, right, Like if
you were going places, because again, people use it to
brag about where they are and what they're doing, right,
so you probably would have posted a mean picture of
here I am at sessame place because where else were
your parents taken? But I'm saying where else where you go?
And it's not that you came from a lot of
(38:11):
us didn't come from money. So what you're saying here
I am at the poking house. I'm thinking of sports
cultural events that would have had social media talking and fighting,
and I feel like one of those big ones. I
hate to take the conversation all serious on you. You're
gonna go challenger on us. No, I was saying sports,
not spaceships. When Magic Johnson HIV positive, that would have
(38:37):
been the most divisive Should he play? Shouldn't he play?
Because people at that time were still unaware, like could
you catch it? What if he touches you? Oh?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
They the meme game would have been pretty fun without
Remember Karl Malone didn't want to play against him. Yeah,
it would been a lot of memes and guys like
Tar Malone would probably be in prison. See that's what
we think about. Honestly, when you think about how it
was such a different world back then, kadem Hardison style
different where you know, the athletes didn't have to deal
(39:07):
with that twenty four to seven the way they have
to deal with it now. Dan Bayer think of the
eighty six Mets, And I only bring that up because
it's not just my team. There's been books the bad
guys won. They were historically known as just honestly partying,
having sex with women and doing cocaine. Lenny Dykstra, Darryl Dwight,
Keith Hernandez. The only clean cut guy on the team
(39:29):
was the late great Gary Carter, who is an outcast
in a way because he was a good guy. Yeah,
imagine those fights. I think there was a fight where
like Timmy Tuffel and Ron Darling or Ray Knight were
having fist fights every time they went on the road,
women in drugs. That team would have been destroyed. Have
you ever read the book? No, No, I haven't, but
I believe you.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
I think the meme game with Magic Johnson, by the way,
would be horrendous, like.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I wouldn't want to.
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Yeah, it would have been. It would have been the
absolute worst. I'll tell you guys what I even look
back to in terms of what I would post my
tech mobile stats. You know, like if Danny's running for
eight hundred yards with bo Jackson, like, you'd.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Be posting those on YouTube though of you playing sure
and even the end screen, you know, or the Christian
Okoya like eighteen touchdowns, you know, six hundred yards. That's
what I would be left exactly what I would be posting. Damn. Also,
g TB I like that.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I like that because we used to go to arcades
and we have to explain to kids what those are
unless they've been to one of the throwback ones that
is opened up now. But remember at the end, you're
the order the stats would come up on the screen.
You're always trying to.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Put your initials on it.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, You're always trying to get up to the top
of the leader board a number five. Imagine taking a
shot of that and then posting it.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
By the way, dude, that is the best memory in
Dan Byer. You're soul right, because that was the coolest
thing to have your initials right up there with the
league leaders at the arcade. You all roun third on Cubert.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yes, and then when you went back to the arcade,
you you always checked to see if it was still there,
if you were still in.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Your parents that their quarters were worth something. Look what
I did. You're so proud of it. You were so
proud of that. You would have definitely been posting that,
There's no question. Then there were idiots like me. You
could never get on the board. But if I did once,
I didn't know how to put my initials in, so
it would just be like d you know, I like
I couldn't get the other two because I had not,
Like I would have hit the enter and then it
would have just locked it in and frozen. That's so funny, dude.
(41:29):
Or like your papa shot scores, like hell yeah, So
what would you have been posting? Back then? We didn't
have the opportunity to think about your kids, think about
young players today athletes, and think about what they would
have been doing back then, you know, and who would
have been a nightmare to deal with. There was a
lot of flashy dudes back then that we didn't get
to see how flashy they were, Like like Deon Sanders.
(41:50):
We see it now, but we didn't see young Neon
Dion and his social media ways. We didn't see those things.
We didn't have the opportunity. What do you think we
would have seen it in this hypothetical? Are we holding
athletes to the political correct standards of today or are
we just keeping inconsistent with the times. Because there's guys
(42:12):
like Charles Barkley, There's guys like Dennis Rodman. There's guys that,
like I feel like, have always spoke in their mind,
and you know, back then it was like, yeah, who cares.
Now they might have been under more of a microscope. Hey,
I think Dennis Rodman would have found himself in more
controversial situations, being outspoken, coming at people posting weird things.
You know, we would have been like, man, I mean
it was already a debate. We would have more insights
(42:33):
on all these guys, already a debate to begin with.
But I think if social media existed in the early
eighties and mid eighties, the whole Larry Bird versus Magic
Johnson like that, you know, the whole the tired debates
of you know, MJ or Lebron, I feel like it
would have been a lot of magic.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Larry also think about this with music and Facebook and
other social media platforms, kids coming out of school have
been caught for posting lyrics like athletes. You know, somebody
digs it up, like, oh, they wrote the N word
on there because it was part of lyrics they quoted.
We grew up with NWA. We were in the NWA days.
(43:09):
Can you imagine the lyrics we would have posted.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Oh, I'd gotten so much trouble would have haunted us. Yeah,
we'd been canceled because Luke Skywalker. Yeah we posted some
lyrics from NWA. So we're canceled now. Yeah that we
got away with that. Definitely got away with that. What
else would you have posted? Think of this too, just
polarizing figures from back then. Athletes from back then. We
(43:35):
would have seen a completely deeper side of what they
were really about. And it's kind of interesting when you
think about how younger kids are growing up knowing everything
about these dudes.
Speaker 6 (43:47):
I could see Steve Cavino standing in the left field
wall or out like forty feet past it and being like,
here's where my twenty fourth home run land is.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Yeah, but you know, shooting back to home plate like, wow,
that is far and I posted on my trophies on
my Instagram story. You know what you would You would
definitely have taken your news clippings, right, because that's all
you had. We had the Internet, but you had your
news clippings of articles that you may have been involved in.
Or hey, Dan Meyer pitched two hit shut out for
(44:16):
the Little League Warriors. I don't know, and you know,
you would definitely have posted your clippings because he didn't
have that. You didn't have that. You didn't have that.
I'm just thinking, it's just thinking of a would you
have used it? Like back then? What made you popular
or what got you you know and in with maybe
(44:38):
a girl you liked was all stuff you did in person,
like you never had to worry about having a strong
social media game. And Rich, you probably would have tried
to throw your game at you know, some of the
female athletes of the day probably just to like get
on their radar. And Rich was like Rich was big, big,
Tanya Harding fanch. Rich probably would have been diving into
(44:59):
your DMS.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
That's a great thought, Rich, Because those of us who
had strict parents, like my mom was strict, the girls
couldn't really call the house, you know what I mean.
There was no way for us to take those old
school phones with the long cords and hide like in
the garage or a room and talk to a girl
without being bothered by somebody in the family. So we
would have communicated with the opposite sex a lot better
back then, had we had social media.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
And really that's a great thought, but not just the
opposite sex. Seriously, like professional athletes, like in order to
like if you collected baseball cards or if you wanted
an autograph, they would put out those address booklets like
those Warry Beckett books of the addresses, and of course
the value of the cards, but you would get books
(45:42):
with the addresses, and you would take your chance to
write to somebody and get it back. You be so thrilled.
Imagine if you had the opportunity to just hit up
Don Mattingly on social media when you were a kid
and just ask for an autograph or something like. They
have that opportunity. We didn't have that. The accessibility of
communicating with your heroes back then was like unheard. Yeah,
(46:02):
the accessibility of celebrity and athlete I think sort of
watered down. Celebrity and athlete, right maybe yeah, like no,
you're right, or we're looking at it different.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
When we learned to write, like an English teacher would
always do the same exercise back in the eighties or nineties,
the whole class would write to one of their heroes
and we'd always see who got a letter back.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
I was one for one. I did it with because
I didn't. I was like, if I write to Dave Winfield,
I'm gonna be one of you know, a one hundred
million kids. So Covino decided. I decided, I'm writing to
Bobby Meacham, Number twenty short stop for the New York Yankees.
No one cares about Bobby Meacham except for me. And
I sent them like a stack of cars that I
had at all the Bobby Meacham's, the Fleer to Don Russ,
(46:44):
the tops, you name it. Leaf. What thought you reach
out to Richard Simmons, No, you did, so reach out
to Bobby Meacham. Sent me back a letter, handwritten letter
Yankee like pens and pins, nice and all autographed cards,
you know. So I was like, man, thought I would
have tried again. I was one for one. I stopped
at the perfect record. But if you had that accessibility
(47:06):
in the eighties nineties, you would have been trying to
be friends with with your random sports hero. I think
we're we're hitting a bunch of different angles.
Speaker 5 (47:13):
Here.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Simplify with this simple question. Would you have wanted it?
Or are you happy with the way we were raised
in the eighties nineties? Maybe you were raised before that.
If you're a kid, if you're roughly forty, you grew
up without social media and smartphones. Do you look back
and say, I cherished the mom, I'll be back for dinner.
I cherished the you know you have a click call
(47:36):
from mom at the ball pick me up? Like, do
you cherish the I rode my bikes around town in
no one knows where I was. The simplicity of like
any independence, Hey Danny, when do we have in dinner?
I don't know. When your father gets home and you'd
be playing wiffle ball in the street, you saw your
dad's car coming down the box. That's just thinking the
way we grew up was the best. I'm saying. You
(47:57):
saw your dad's car driving down the box and you're like, all,
let's wrap up whiffle ball, because as suited, Dad goes
in the house Mom's gonna say, Richie dinner.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Well, we know all of our dads and granddads had
more fun back then because nobody could track them.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
You didn't touch on if we had access to social
media eighties nineties, you would have had all those memories
playing with football. You might not have been outdoors riding
your bike as much as you would. Yeah, they might
not be as many of those moments.
Speaker 8 (48:24):
I think in general, you just I remember things a
lot better because now we rely on endless pictures we
can take with our cell phone. We have posts and stuff.
That's true. I don't remember the phone. It's the phone
number theory.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Sam. It's like if I asked you to tell me
your grandma's phone number, you know it like that. But
if two best friends too, if I asked you anyone
today's phone number, you like, I don't know because I
have something I can soult, a piece of technology and
rely on that which I have memories that are much
more vivid from up until like I don't know endto
high school. Well, I was saying, that's that's uh. Kavino
and I always have the theory of while your kids
(48:57):
generation our kids have you got little kids. Now you
might say, Oh, how cool for them, They're gonna have
every memory possible videos at every event of their life,
but they might not really care that much because it's accessible.
We sort of want what we can have, right, Like
Danny G. Why would a video of you playing football
with your neighbor when you're seven mean a lot to
you because you don't even think it exists? Yeah, little CoA.
(49:21):
How old your son two? Yeah? Not even very Oh
he looks too, he's nine months. Why do I kill
It's time's not flying for that kid. So nine months old.
He's got a mustache already. Yeah, nine months. The kid's
forty pounds. Took him to get his first Raiders tattoo
last week, nine months old. Danny G. You probably, I
(49:41):
guarantee you and Brenda, your wife, probably have twenty thousand
photos of him on your phone's combined easy. My parents
might have thirty photos from eighty five to nineteen ninety.
You would have a lot of pictures of you and
your friends on bikes, and we don't. I have maybe one.
I don't have any of one cracked polaroids somewhere in
a box, you know. Com You don't ask me recently
because we were celebrating an anniversary of our show, and
(50:03):
we were saying, like, yo, early on, we have some
pictures of our show. Would you believe I don't have
one picture of me at my college radio station. I
don't have one picture of my college dorm room.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Dude, that's a great point. Somebody asked me on I
think National Radio Day. Somebody said in the group, post
a picture of you at your first radio station.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
I'm like, I don't even have a picture of that. Yeah,
because we weren't. It's not what we were concerned about either. No,
I have a pervy question, because you don't have cameras
and you don't have cell phones and stuff like that
back then. On hand, do you wish you had a
picture of every girl you dated or went on a
day with, or hooked up with, because the reality is
(50:42):
you probably some of them were just a blurry memory
in your mind. Like you mean, like a smutty picture.
I'm just saying, even a regular picture, like you know,
I mean, I kind of do you don't have pictures
of all the girls you date?
Speaker 4 (50:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (50:53):
You mean like cooked up? Like if you were to
like you nowadays, if you were to go to a
college bar, all night. You'd be a click click click
taking a million photos. Yeah, might have been some cute
Oh I remember that cute blonde girl you made that
with in you know, And by the way, you could
tie that right back into sports. I was at the
nineteen ninety six World Series when the Yankees won. I
have one picture, no one picture. I don't got no
(51:15):
one picture of me at the parade, not nothing, nothing,
got nothing from that except hear what's in my brain?
I was. That's a whole lot. You chose, you the difference.
I was at the twenty fifteen World Series and the
Mets are in it miserable because the Mets stink. But
I have like a whole cat like you know, probably
hundreds of photos of that experience. So it just shows
you times have changed. And this is all based on
(51:36):
a meme we saw and we do this every Thursday.
We throw it back old school in fifty hits, and
the meme reads, let's pretend it's the eighties or nineties.
Whenever you grew up and you have social media, you
have Facebook, what's something you would have posted back then?
And then you got to think about, well, what's social
media use for? Mostly now tonight? It will be used
(51:57):
for fighting politics. Tonight's gonna be about politics because of
Trump's uh conviction and NBA and NBA and NHL playoff.
It's really a big look at me and how would
you have said, hey, look at me? Hey? And if
you want a little, if you want a little fun
conversation at dinner tonight when you get home from work, hey,
ask your husband or wife, ask ask your family. What
(52:18):
would you have wanted to post back in your childhood
if you had social media? And what would you have
wanted to look back on? Who you got? Danny? Your
parents were young, so your mom would have been posting
pictures of her meat loaf. Well, think about it? Is
that innuendo for something?
Speaker 2 (52:30):
No? Yeah, quickly on the phone, says Trevor and Reno. Yo, Trevor,
what's up?
Speaker 1 (52:37):
Man?
Speaker 5 (52:38):
Hey, how are you guys?
Speaker 10 (52:40):
The first thing that I thought of when you guys
are talking about it was I would definitely be posting
like my Halloween candy hall, my Christmas presents and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
Oh yeah for sure. Yeah, Yo, check out with sand
it brot me bro what else we got daddy?
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (52:53):
Brian and Augusta Yo, Ry, what's up?
Speaker 10 (52:55):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (52:56):
Fellas what you got?
Speaker 9 (52:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (52:57):
What would you look back on? Social media? Wise if
we had it?
Speaker 10 (53:01):
If we had it, I probably would post because I
talked to a friend of mine about this the other day.
Our parents would have died if they knew how far
away from home we actually went.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
Would cause you know, and I have talked about that
feeling of you know, when you're riding your bike and
you even know yourself, you're like, I've gone too far.
You feel anyway, You're like you're one town too far.
You're like, where am I? I know I'm too far?
There's no GPS? No, And so wait, Brian, would you
have posted where you were at? Or No?
Speaker 10 (53:31):
Now, I probably would have posted where I was at
because my mom probably wouldn't have had social media anyway.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
No, you know what a lot of our moms would
have been posting booty shots. There's a lot of moms
now the shots, right, what if your mom was what
if your mom was posting like bikini pictures.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
Well, a lot of our parents snooped in our rooms.
They probably would have snooped on our social media too.
Speaker 4 (53:49):
Well.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
We would have had a lot of pictures of our rooms,
which we don't have, because we would have been whatever
we were doing, we'd be taking pictures of it, whether
we were in our room messing around, horsing around, or
or if you were outside. You know how you see
people kids today, they got a little phone set up
and they're just filming themselves taking swings or whatever. I
would have none of that. That would have been valuable
(54:10):
in a fun way. Like Danny, imagine me, you and
Covino We're playing out on the NBA jam and I
would have been on my Instagram story like, Hey, what's up,
but you playing in jam? Like that would have been
you know, that's right.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
We would have took pictures of our record and CD collections,
our posters, sports posters.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
Oh that's a good one, my tvd cliss, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
I would have took pictures of my first speakers and turntables, all.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
The DJ equipment. Yeah, you know, what's a good thought.
You know what, though, I do have something based on
that on VHS somewhere somewhere, who knows where, but somewhere
I do have the first time I got to Mike
Tyson on Mike Tyson's punch Out, and it was when
he lost to Buster Douglas. So nineteen ninety, I have
that VHS somewhere and I go, but Dad, come here,
(54:53):
good luck, fight me hit the camera of fighting. Mike Tyson, Hey,
so what would you have posted if it existed back then?
How would have it changed sports? Let us know at
Covino and Rich and at Fox Sports Radio, we didn't
do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man.
Hey, thanks for listening to the best of Cabino and

(00:22):
Did you hear what Jerry Seinfeld said, I don't like
Caleb Williams fingernails. No, I didn't say that. Caleb Williams
is part of a big announcement today, as Moncey Bolano said,
and Dan Byer told us, I believe August sixth the
Bears hard knocks. I'll be tuning in and thank you
guys for tuning in to us Covino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. Let's hear it for Danny Ja Yeah, Hey,
(00:46):
happy Thursday. Hell yeah, let's hear it for Iowa Samuel?
What up Iowa sam and Manzi is still hanging out,
but I think Dan Byers coming back. But it's one
big Fox Sports Radio party. What up Monzi? It's like
a tag team situation over there. Yeah, does he take
you out? We're doing a double team here? Whoa is
that in your new contract. Thank you, Monci. What would
(01:09):
you say there? Are they sort of like uh, demolition bushwhackers.
They're like accent smash, yeah, demolition. We started the show,
and you heard the the show open with Mike Tyson
and I have a trivia question for you guys to
start the show. Sure. I was in Denver, Colorado, Colorado
Springs to be exact, the Springs, and my nephews like,
(01:33):
Uncle Rich, can you play video games with me? And
I'm like, yeah, let's do it. So I start playing
some of his video games. And I'm weak because I don't,
you know, you're a grown ass man. You don't really
know some of the newer video games. You're not going
to compete with a teenager. And he said, I have
all the old games too, So I go break out
Mike Tyson's punch Out just for a minute, and just
(01:56):
like that, I felt like I was back in my
little Mike Tyson's punch out rhythm. Remember King Hippo hit
him in the face one time and then belly belly
belly belly knock him out one time. He's done, yees
pants fall down. You remember the whole thing. Don Flamenco
with the big hooks. You just move away one time
and you get them. Because this was punch Out, Mike
Tyson took his name off it, obviously because of Wright's reasons.
(02:21):
The guy at the end is not Mike Tyson. It's
a white version of the same figure Nintendo created. Who
is the last guy you face on punch Out? When
it's not Mike Tyson's punch out, Mister Sandman, you have
Super Macho Man, Soda Popinski. It's not Piston Honda. They
were the same body type. Piston Honda and Tyson were
(02:44):
the same in the video game Mike Tyson's punch out
in the final In the actual arcade, it was Baul Bull,
it was Glass Joe. It's different, you're saying the regular
Nintendo version was it? Mister Sandman? Good guy, but not
you know, you fight Piston Honda a couple of times,
a couple of times you get von Keiser. Yeah, mister Dream,
(03:08):
mister dreamed, mister dream. Because I told my nephew I
got I got. You want to hear some mental muscle
memory from Uncle Rich's childhood double O seven three seven
three five nine six three the little punching sound, and
I'm like, wait, a minute. That's not Mike Tyson. That's
white Mike Tyson because you know the graphics back then,
(03:30):
it was really just Mike Tyson, but with light skin.
And they call mister Dream.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, I remember my cousin playing that would not share
the controller.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Mister Dream looks like Howie Long. He fights how We
Long at the end of the game. But remember your
starting lineup figures that you put on your dresser as
a kid. They were all the same. They just changed
the uniforms and the color of the skin, let's be honest.
So it's like, yeah, it's like bubbleheads when we were kids. Colors.
(04:00):
Who was the catcher of the Dodgers in the eighties,
Mike Sosha, You're Mike Soshia. Starting lineup was Mike Gary Carter.
They just added a perm and it said the same thing, right,
same mold, Yeah, same mold. So uh yeah, mister Dream.
For all the old school Nintendo nice freaks, I saw that.
I'm like, mister Dream, Huh, doesn't have the same pizazz
(04:20):
as Mike Tyson's funny great fighting. You're an upper coming boxer.
That was the arcade man. I used to look body blow,
body blow I used to wet so many quarters body blow,
and there was always some kid trying to jump in
my game. Body blow, body blow. So thank you guys.
Speaking of eighties kids, nineties kids, we're gonna throw it
back today, Throwback Thursday, Old school in fifty hits. It
(04:41):
involves the eighties and nineties and social media. What we'll explain,
and of course we might argue about Lenny Kravitz. He's
also in the news along with Jerry Seinfeld, who wants
some masculinity back. And I figured we'd start off today's
show rich with Jorge Lopez and what happened yesterday with
(05:04):
your Mets who were about to get swept. It's embarrassing.
The state of the Mets is embarrassing. Francisco Lindor Nimo.
They call the team meeting after getting beat again, and
I'm like, I don't know, do team meetings work. Maybe
once in a while that pumps better than not having one.
I don't know if they work, but doing nothing also
doesn't work. I saw Mets owner Steve Cohen, now that
(05:27):
was before the blown game, after a game against the Dodgers,
saying that he still thinks the Mets are a wildcard team,
a playoff team. Let me tell you third worst record
in the National League with a payroll like that and
high hopes, and I think all the feelings of Met
fans and Mets players came out through Jorge Lopez yesterday. Well,
(05:52):
this is a question of was Jorge Lopez misquoted? Was
it a language barrier, or is it the media stirring
things up again? And you don't have to decide. It
could be a little bit of everything here. I think
we can all agree that if he wasn't misquoted, he
wasn't necessarily wrong. The Mets stink. So it's very frustrating,
(06:14):
but all right, so the progression of events, he argues
a check swing by Freddie Freeman umpires had enough, you're
out here, throws out Lopez on the way to the
dugout in total frustrated, Like the guy's playing Rex softball
or high school baseball. When you let your emotions get
the best of you. The guy takes his glove, throws
(06:38):
it over the netting into the crowd. Some lucky fans
holding up a sweet new black leather rawlings kind of
make it clear if you haven't seen it. Though, it
wasn't like an aggressive throw into the stands. It was
almost like a frustrated toss out. There's a pop up. Yeah,
it was like it was just a toss up into
the stands, almost like here you go, I'm done with this.
(06:59):
But he saw me out of fans. Nonetheless, untucked his jersey,
had like an f everyone look on his face and
beg throws. I just don't want the visual to be
off because when you say he threw the glove into
the stands, he could have throw it like at a fan,
you know what I mean, That's not what happened. I
think it was worse that he untucked the jersey, just
had that apathetic like oh no, givenn f Look, yeah,
(07:20):
it's not something you loss, is it. And then here's
where the real dramatics start. Like already it's like, oh man,
the Mets are in such a bad spot as a
team that, like I said, sort of symbolizes where they're
at this year. In fact, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez,
you know, a couple of Mets legends on the broadcast
(07:41):
were sort of like, man, that's just that's a bad look.
That just that just shows where the team's at. Like
that's like I said, symbolic of the fails so far
in the twenty twenty fourth campaign. But then they get
to the locker room. Everyone has a moment to cool
down and our former coworker, really good dude, Steve Gelps,
who's like the main sideline reporter for SNY. We had
(08:04):
a TV show throw back Thursday on s n Y
Live from Times Square, and we were working there when
Steve Gelbs was just getting his feet wet. He replaced
why am I ding a blank? I'm gonna let you
try to find the name Kevin Burkhart. I was gonna
say KB. KB was the guy, and man, he had
some swag back then. Fil he has some swags still,
(08:27):
but Burkhart was the guy. Gelbs replaced him. So we
were there when all that happened in transitioned. So Gelb's
been doing this for like a decade now. Yeah, gets
to talk to Jorge Lopez and you're thinking, oh, here's
this guy's opportunity to say I overreacted, my mad sorry
to my teammates, and Gelp starts with the you regretitakea listen,
(08:53):
I don't regret it.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I think I've been looking the worst deam in probably
in the whole MLB, So you know, whatever happened happened.
So whatever they want to do it, I'll be tomorrow
here if they want me, you know, whatever they want
to do. So I'm gonna keep doing this thing, you know,
so I'm healthy on whatever, you know, whatever to do.
(09:19):
You know, I'm I'm ready to come back tomorrow and
the day one may be here, so I'll be here.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well you're not here because a couple hours later he
was let go by the New York Mets. But there's
a part of this we're missing. Did did Did you
get the follow up from Gelves? Galves wanted to clarify,
hold on, did you just say that you're playing for
(09:46):
the worst team in the MLB? And he sort of confirms, like, yeah,
that's what I said. But still, when you listen to
what he actually said, he says teammate. He does say teammate,
So there's a a clear language barrier because Gelps does
the investigation and he does say, hey, is that what
you meant? And he does, Lopez does double down and yeah,
(10:08):
that's what I meant. But then you fast forward to
today and he said, no, no, no, no, that's not
what I said. He says, he's talking about himself being
a bad teammate. He didn't call the Mets the worst
team in MLBRIGHT. Take a listen to the follow up
from Gelps just.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
To clarify what what you said, just because I didn't
fully understand. Did you say I'm on the worst team?
Is that? Is that what you had said?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Probably it looked like.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Then that they were embarrassed by you. Is that what
you Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Probably looks like yeah, but he's just saying, are you
saying you're on the worst team? Probably looks like. I know,
Gelves is doing a great job and he's great at
what he does, so it's no knock on him, but
I think he almost put those words in his mouth
at that point. Guy said, not listening to words that
Lopez said, says teammate when you're reading the script, because
(11:03):
when this clip went viral, you're reading and it says
team yeah, but you're like, hold on, he said, teammate.
So you have to believe the guy when he comes
back later on and says, wait, hold on, language barrier,
that's not what I said. I said I'm the worst teammate.
And then when you listen to what he says, after that,
he's talking about himself and about him and him and him,
(11:23):
So I do believe him. It's really a question of
do you believe the original story or is the media
just stirring things up, or do you believe the follow up,
which came out today courtesy of s N Y and ESPN,
he said he doesn't regret it. And then I heard
him say, I play for the worst. You're half in
team in baseball. This is a matter of green needle
And what was that brainstorm?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Brainstorm right when you texted this to all of us
in the group chat yesterday afternoon, Rich Coveno and I
heard the same thing the very first time we played
the clip. In fact, what did I tell you Covina?
Right after we looked at.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It sounded like he said team. Yeah, I was like,
wait a second, it sounded like he said teammate. But
the story was he said team, and that's why he
was designated for assignment because it's a bad look and
nobody needs that type of attitude in the locker room.
And then going public with that sort of statement. I
also don't think Steve Gelbs led him. I think Steve
(12:19):
Gelbs No, no, I think Steve gelbs heard what I
heard and stuff like that was his intent. Rich I
just said, it sounds like he fed him something and
he disagreed with it, like yeah, yeah, I guess yeah,
probably play one more time. I mean, I don't. Again,
I don't think Gelves was looking for something salacious. I
think he genuinely heard like I don't either, But like
that clear, I'm not saying Gelves was looking for the
(12:42):
salacious headline. I think that's what he thought he heard,
but that's not what he said.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I don't regret it. I think I've been looking the
worst demon probably than the whole MLB. So you know,
whatever happened happened. So whatever they want to do this,
I'll be tomorrow here if they want me, and you know,
whatever they want me to st there.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I think he hears said the worst team in the
hall F and MLB. I heard team, And so you
could believe whatever you want, right and you could believe
the story that came out yesterday, which was he said team,
or you could believe what came out today. That's really
what it comes down to. You do you believe what
came out yesterday or do you believe what came out today?
Which is he saying. I didn't say that. I said
(13:28):
I was a bad teammate. I didn't call the Mets
the worst team in the MLB. He was talking about himself. Yeah,
that's also courtesy of s n Y as of today
and ESPN, who reported it. That's what he said. He said,
I don't regret it, but I was. He was frustrated
with himself. So it's really a matter of what you believe.
What do you believe? Is he doing damage control today? Absolutely?
(13:52):
In fact, the last thing smy tweeted, the last thing
sounds like a major language barrier. The last thing the
Mets Network s n Y put on social media was
a progression of the events. Seven PM questions the check swing,
seven oh one PM ejected, seven oh one throws a
glove into the stands. Fast forward a couple hours now,
(14:13):
we're looking at nine o'clock. He gets let go by
the team. Yeah, but five hours ago he's saying, won't
that's not what he said. Take that was the latest report.
Take a listen to the follow up from GELBS yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Just to clarify what what you said, Just because I
didn't fully understand, did you say I'm on the worst team?
Is that? Is that what you had said?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Probably it looks like is.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
That how you got it?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Probably looks like.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
The language rich You know how some guys have translators
and we know they don't really need them. In this case,
it sounds like he really needs one because it doesn't
sound like he understands the follow up question.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Can I tell you Jorge Lopez loves both of you?
And you know what I for his dake kill get
a another chance somewhere, probably, but he's hoping that everyone
is on team Danny gene Cavino where it's like language barrier. Regardless,
he wasn't wrong because your Mets are guarding everything about
his attitude from arguing the pitch, throwing the glove in
the stands. Is that not sort of on brand with Yeah,
(15:15):
I'm on the worst fan team? Like it seems like
the guy had a moment. He did what everybody on
that team wants to do. And it's a matter and
Fox Sports Radio Nation, we leave it to you. You
heard where I stand. It's a matter of do you
believe the original story or do you believe the latest
story from sn Y It's the same source, the same source.
And then ESPN reported this five hours later, five hours ago,
(15:38):
that that's not what he said, or that's what he's saying.
That's not what he said. He said teammate, not team.
But if he said team, on a personal note me personally,
I don't blame him. I don't blame him one bit.
If that's what he said. Well, see, according to it's
funny usually getting all these different sources and a big
(16:00):
sports writer in New York that followed up with, well,
because that's the juicier story, though followed up with he
said both when when asked again, like, yeah, I'm a
bad teammate and I'm on the worst team. Well, because
that's what Kelbs led him to say, He's like, is that?
(16:21):
He said, He's like, yeah, probably. I mean we heard
it three times. You make the call. I'm telling you
where I stand on it, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. But it did make me think this. We
hear stories, we hear rumblings, we watch it with our
own eyes to see how frustrating it is sometimes when
you're playing for a bad team. But I don't think
(16:41):
we really understand how bad it could get, like how
miserable and toxic it could gets. In the locker room
when things are that bad, you know what I mean, Like,
that's how frustrating. What we saw is what people usually
keep behind closed doors in the locker room, as they should.
I'm not defending his behavior. I'm just saying I understand.
(17:03):
I think we fail to realize sometimes how bad it
really gets because we've never really been there. Imagine being
under those bright lights one hundred and sixty two games
with people that don't care, with people that are half
fast in it, not putting the heart and effort that
you put into it. You're just losing every day, embarrassing,
your values going down. You're struggling, You're mentally struggling. We
(17:26):
don't know the nightmare that they go through if you
we hear about it. Heard athletes talk about the difference
in a clubhouse or locker room of a winning team
and a losing team. In fact, this is about as
close as you're going to get to see it. I mean,
I have an example of that. I'll tell you in
a second. But nine to nineteen last night, this is
after the GELBS interview. Anthony Dicomo, who is a big
reporter in New York for sports, works with SNY Regarding
(17:49):
the confusion of whether or not Lopez was on the
worst team or was the worst teammates, Lopez explained to
teammates and other medias the members of the media that
it was a combination of both. He claims that he's
the worst teammate on the worst team. Well, that's what
he said, and then he also just agreed with Gelves.
What aren't you hearing now, you're confusing me because you're
(18:11):
going back to nine pm yesterday. What I'm telling you
five hours ago. The update is he said he was
the worst teammate. It's right here. It's right here. So
why are you sticking with that because we're seeing things
on the same timeline. Because I'm seeing on SNY, the
(18:31):
Mets Network, on Instagram four hours ago what I'm reading
to you now, okay, five hours ago on ESPN via SNY.
That's not what he said. That's not what he said.
And again that could be that could be great pr
damage control. Let's get this guy picked up somewhere else.
Let's not make him the worst. I'm with you, there, Rich,
(18:53):
I'm with you. Could be just the Hey, they spun
it because it sounded like he could have said both,
but I do believe, he said teammate, I do, and
then he was sort of led somewhere else, and at
a frustration, he agreed, Look, there's a language barrier here,
as you've been saying over and over again the past
few days. You got to give him some grace here.
(19:15):
He's playing for the weakest team. No one's going to
debate that. I think there's a language barrier. I do.
So what you're saying is yes, yes, ce see. Oh
so I guess he is saying it. Yeah. Probably. He's
been playing in the Big since twenty fifteen from Puerto Rico.
What do you guys think it's interesting? Actually, he's a
(19:38):
really good question. It's a matter of do you believe
the original story or do you believe the update. I
don't know. It's not a guy that came up through
the Mets system, so it's not like he owes them
anything like a lot of foreign players. Yeah, feel like
a closeness to the team that drafted them from a
foreign land. They have that connection, right. This is a
(19:59):
guy that's been through the big Milwaukee Brewers. He started
with Dan Buyer's team in twenty fifteen. Kansas City Royals,
Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins, Miami Marlins, Baltimore again. Then the
Mets just a thought, could they be? I think they're
just trying to go easy on this guy because it
was it's the Mets are in a rough spot and
the guy's been let go, so go somewhere else. You know,
(20:23):
you'll fill someone else's. But I do hear a teammate.
I hear teammate. You know, he did throw his glove,
he did show frustrations. It's possible. He said team and
again he's been again. When you read team, you hear team.
He's you're thinking teammate or can you do me a favork?
(20:44):
Can you do an experiment? Yeah, can you think teammate?
And maybe you'll hear teammate. I was Samuel. If you
don't mind one more time, everybody, Fox Sports, Radio, Nations,
close your eyes unless you close your eyes and think teammate. Okay,
I don't regret it.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I think I've been looking the worst team in probably
in the whole MLB. So you know, whatever happened happened.
So whatever they want to do it, I'll be tomorrow
here if they want me, and you know, whatever they
want to do, so.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
He's talking about repercussions after being the worst teammate in
the MLB.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That's how I took it, That's how I heard it.
I did too. I was like, it didn't sound like
you said team to me. Well he'll he'll find the
new home. Yeah, he's no longer met and by the way,
good for him. You always want to get off that
team too. You could say, what a bush league baby,
move right, what a sports baby throwing his glove and
crying and breaking unwritten rules of disparaging your team and
(21:45):
teammates to the public. But he got out of that nightmare.
So you there's another discussion in itself by doing the
wrong thing. Did he do the right thing for himself?
I don't know. So get a lot of phone calls
on this boy. What a wild day, Jenny g You
see just what news alerts came on. Yeah, listen, We're
(22:06):
gave you the headline.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And I said, I'm not sure if you guys want
to discuss this, but maybe maybe at least acknowledged, let's
say this.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We'll take your phone calls and feedback on Jorge Lopez.
Do you believe the original story or the spin or
the update? However, you want to look at it, let
us know, and do you think he did the right
thing after all? Because he's off the Mets now designated
for assignment.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sometimes maybe maybe he did the Maybe that was the
great move all along? Yeah, right, unpopular but worked out
to his benefit. We'll see, wow, and we'll take your
phone calls on that. But Rich, give us the breaking
random news you got. Yeah, Donald Trump guilty on all
thirty four felony charges and he'll be sentenced on July eleventh.
(22:49):
What will happen there for the hush money trial? And uh,
it's interesting because I did read something yesterday about the
judge is could be the one that we'll be able
to assign, whether it's jail related or probation related. So
that's that's very interesting, is that that we're going to
(23:09):
have our first president who's elected behind bars. It's a mess.
Could be, could be. That's so he gets sworn in
from the from the Big House. Again, this is not
a political show, but the real question is a breaking
new making news. If he is well, I heard this,
the appeals alone would take us past the election. So
(23:34):
if he's elected president, which a lot of us think
is likely, and then the appeal. This is a mess. Huh,
woll buckle up, Buttercup. It's a mess. It's a mess. Hey,
Donald Trump, are you guilty of all thirty four charges?
See see probably, which which.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
You thought your mets were a mess? He threw his
glove into the stands.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
See probably.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
The question is what athlete will voice their opinion? First?
I know Robert de Niro, the Raging Bull. No, he's
doing cart we own outside the courthouse. I saw Dennis Quaid.
Could you call him an athlete? Since he's been in
and he's a clown. He's a punk. He's not a
real New Yorker. He's a punk. Do you see Dennis Quaid, though,
(25:12):
who's played an athlete in more than one way? That
Trump's his a hole. He's voting for Trump. Yeah, so
I mean, like I saw that, I wonder what athlete.
Will there be a big time athlete in the NFL,
NBA somewhere that comments on the Trump trial Harrison Budker,
I don't know, Yeah, someone somewhere, kelsee, Yeah, that's breaking news.
(25:37):
Well the hush money, yeah, Covington maybe hush money charges again,
guilty on all thirty four charges. And then I played
you some deep purple Iowa, Sam played you some deep
purple hush. But I'm just doing this out there. There's
a great cover by Coolest Shaker if you want to
check it out. Coolest Shaker had a cover of that
song back in the late nineteen hundreds, I believe ninety six.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Anyway, I'm by the way, really quick. Conspiracy theories rolling
in on Facebook already. Trump's sentencing set for July eleventh,
four days before the Republican National Convention starts.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's a conspiracy, Come on, Man debate. Does it give
a little more posaster to that debate. Remember we said
the two big showdowns this summer June twenty seventh, Trump
Biden and then Jake Paul Mike Tyson July twentieth, So
you know, politics aside. And by the way, you know
what the funny thing is when you do sort of
try to see all sides of things, everyone hates you.
(26:34):
Our liberal friends call us, you know, right wing Trumpers,
and our Republican friends say we're la Weeni's living out
here on the West Coast, which means you're in the middle,
which means you're in the middle because if republic normal,
if Republicans say you're liberal, and liberals say you're a Trumper,
that means, uh, you sort of an independen, which means
you take each social issue or one financial issue one
(26:56):
by one and you make a good logical decision. It's
a hard plate, it's a hard life to live. And
by the way, we get that feedback every day all
the time, because not only do we do our show
here on Fox Sports Radio, we also have a Patreon
and you should see the feedback we get. And it's like, Noell,
clearly that means we're in the middle, guys to be shocked.
It's like, how could one how could a liberal person
(27:17):
say this about and a Republican say this? It's wild.
But hey, let's uh, let's talk Lopez for a second.
They'll go to Dan Bai for an update. There's the
other story that's dividing the nation. See this is small
potatoes now. Whoor hey Lopez thrown is Glove in the
stands saying that he is on the worst team or
is he saying he's the worst teammate? It doesn't really
(27:37):
matter now, but either way, sort of a fun story.
Who do we got, DANNYJ Let's go to Brian in Missouri. Brian,
what's up?
Speaker 9 (27:44):
Hey, guys, great show, great topic.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Thanks man.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
I think if you listen back to it, he says,
I've been looking and I think he did not say
the word like looking like the worst blanking teammates in
the MLB. I think it's the word like because of
his language. Barrier is missing in that sentence. If you
put it in there, he is talking about himself.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yes, and by the way, if you're right, man, it's
sort of unfair, It really is, and there will be
a lot of people that have his back, because that's
that's not fair. Here's a guy who doesn't speak English
that well, yeah, Rich, that headline caught fire. Truthfully, everybody
ran with it. It's the funny part is no one's
hating on this guy because it's funny because the Mets
(28:30):
are so bad right now that he's not getting real.
But he was designated for assignment as a result. No,
he was desnatd for Simon because he's been stinking it
up and that was probably just the icing on the cake.
And well, the whole team should be designating for assignment.
You know what, I don't disagree. Well, more quickie, what
do we got? Curtis in San Bernardino, California, Kurt Ti, Hey,
(28:50):
buddy Fellas, what's up?
Speaker 10 (28:54):
All right? So I think there's a language barrier.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The part that got me was where he was saying that,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Maybe to me, if he just said the team sucks,
he would have been like, yeah, yeah, no, they suck
or whatever.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
But to me it sounded like it was a little
bit of so doubt.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
So he was like, yeah, yeah, I guess maybe I'm
my worst player in our worst teammate.
Speaker 11 (29:11):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You know, bro, he is a ten year major leaguer.
He'll be fine. It's a funny story. We'll forget about
it by the end of the day. But I remember
last night Danny g and I and Covino, we were like,
what is this true? We're you know, texting each other
different articles and clips and stuff because people want that
juicy story. I kind of wanted that. You want, No,
for real, it's it's a better story. It's we're sallacious
(29:34):
if it's bleed. If it bleeds, it leads. And we
wanted to believe that. He said that it's the worst
team in MLB history, But it's not, according to him,
It's not what he said. Now I've been watching the Mets.
He's not far off, all right, Dann Buyer, Let's get
an up dates, all right, guys?
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Game five tonight Mavericks and Timberwoves, eight thirty Eastern Time.
MAVs up three to one. Derek Lively questionable because of
that neck injury. Twins beat the Royals today seven and six,
while the Rays were six five winners against Oakland in
twelve while in Milwaukee.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Garry's said chest at the bottom of the eighth gifts.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
The Brewers away to run Sean on the Brewers Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
They beat the Cubs today six to four. You know what,
look at the clock, fifty has hit. There's a certain
What we gonna do is go back.
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, yeah, boy, he said. Already social media is gonna
be a nightmare tonight. Everybody with their opinions. This did. Yeah,
Divided States of America continues tonight. Whatever season two forty nine,
it's gonna suck tonight. But speaking of social media and
(31:04):
speaking of throwback Thursday, we throw it back went fifty hits,
and we ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation to pretend
with us, throw it back with us back to the eighties,
the nineties, when you were rocking your parachute pants, playing
pac Man, when you had your mushroom haircut, listening to
sound Gordon. Hell yeah, let's pretend it's the eighties or
(31:28):
the nineties. Run DMC, and you have social media, you
have Facebook. Let's just say face. By the way, do
you remember the first time someone described certain social medias
to you. Yes, I remember Comino. It was your it
was it your ex. Yeah, there's this thing Twitter that
you put down your thoughts, and I remember you being like,
who cares about that? That's stupid. I remember my buddy Nico,
(31:50):
one of our good friends. We saw in Arizona, Danny
g He's like, yo, man, there is this new thing Instagram.
I was like, so that's like Facebook or MySpace with
just pictures, and he's like, yeah, but it's gonna be big.
I don't think so, how would anyone want to see
my pictures? That's dumb. I don't know. But my Space,
I ate, is so stupid. Just for the record, we're
coming up on twenty one years almost right now, the
(32:10):
twenty year anniversary of when my space was founded. So
so my friendship with Tom has been twenty years long.
You've been peals with Town. You've known Tom just a
little longer than Tom. Here's everybody's friend. So the question
is this in the world of social media. As we
just said, my Space launched twenty years ago. Let's pretend
it's the eighties or nineties. Let's pretend to the eighties
(32:32):
or nineties and you have social media you have Facebook.
What's something you would have posted back then? It could
be sports related, it could be star related, could be anything.
So let's pretend you had social media back then? What
would you have posted? Or ask yourself what events? Whether
they be sports, politics, news events, tragedies, happy things like
(32:53):
one of my biggest flexes your home runs in literally
well you know why, my god? Would you took the
words right out of the I would would have posted
your status. Yeah, I would have posted my little league stats.
Not even Aaron Judge could claim he had twenty seven
out of the park. I would have definitely been posting that.
Covino would have made his parents like, Mom, Dad, do
(33:15):
you put together like you like a little compilation of
my home.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Runs like a video Colague Well VHS compilation?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Post that on Facebook. Make the family proud, for sure.
But think about your flexus or maybe the teams that
you would for. What would you have posted it existed?
Think about when Michael Jordan here's a good one. When
mj stepped away from basketball and there were the rumors
like did he step away or did the NBA secretly
tell him lee for a little while, you don't think
that would have been the big, most controversial talked about
(33:44):
social media story. Of course it would. I think we
would have viewed his career completely different. Well you know
what your thoughts at Coveno Ritch or eight seven seven
nine nine on Fox Next. I would have taken a
picture of one of my my favorite things to brag about.
Back then, I grew up in New Jersey and Cavaricci's
(34:04):
were a big deal. I was the only half breed
Mexican Italian kid rocking Cavalricci's and iou sweatshirts from Chess
King and Merry Go Around. If you remember those stores, dude,
I promise you I had thirty five pairs of cavarici
my friends. My friends would come over and they would
be like, oh, no way, let's see the collection, and
(34:26):
I'd be like, cut up, but I'm not thirty five
perfectly folded pairs of Cavaricci pants their pants. If you
don't know, can I tell you, I'm yeah, ridiculous, heard
this before, but thirty five. I don't believe you. Yeah,
And I had a sweatshirt to go every pair. Thirty
five spoil as hell. I don't believe it because Caviriccie
is like one hundred dollars, which means your parents spend
(34:46):
thousands of dollars on your stupid pants. Snh vending was
rolling back then, bro, dad was doing good. Your caption
would have been which one should I wear today? Yes,
with the sunglass emoji, like what's up?
Speaker 9 (34:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I remember the Zekevriccie pant rage of like maybe early
nineties had a hard time decided. Kids even that had
money had like two or three pairs thirty five. Like, honestly,
you know why because I was the greatest kid. I
was spoiled because I was a good kid.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I feel you guys were part of this too. I
don't know if listeners know this. We were all in
a bike gang when we were kids, eighties, nineties kids.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
BMX is Mongoose Diamondback. We were a couple of the
other brands GTT Sweet Pegs. You know, we would have
at least posted about where we were meeting up with
friends for our BMX jumps.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
We would have took pictures of the jumps we made. Dude,
that's a great one. You know why because when I
talked to my teenage daughter, she'll ask me things like, well,
how did you guys know where to meet up, and
it's like, I don't know, we had like intuition or
conversations or something. I don't know. I recently asked was
asked this question by my niece, So that would be
a sweet tweet, right, meeting at the street light in
two hours. And he asked me, well, when you were
(36:01):
in college, how'd you meet up with your friends at
the bar or somewhere a game? And I said, you
know what, yeah, then back then in college and I'm
not that old. I went to college in the early
two thousands, not everyone had a cell phone. In fact,
it was the time where like occasionally, every so often
another friend got a cell phone, like oh you got
a cell phone. Now, early two thousands, you were still
(36:23):
rocking dry erase boards on the dorm room doors. You'd
be like, Hey, we're going to We're going to Chuck's.
We're going to Chuck's bar at nine o'clock. And then
it was like if you were there, you were there.
That's the fun of like bumping into people like you
made it, you're here, Like you know what else? You
would have posted too on social media if it existed
in the eighties and nineties, if you were fortunate enough
(36:44):
to go to a baseball card show or some sort
of convention, comic book or something and you got to
meet a celebrity back then, like no way, Claudelle Washington's
here signing autographs. You would definitely have posted that picture
of you and Tough Rich. Yeah, take a picture with
Vince Evans. Eah, yeah, me and Butch Wine geru bro.
(37:05):
Don't be jealous. Think of hashtag you wish you were
me right now. Think of all the eighties and nineties
hot women that made zero dollars for being hot, and
they're probably very jealous of the influencers of today. Like
there's a good looking women today that do nothing more
than like have a little ten second jingle of a
TikTok song, turn to the side, pop their butt and
(37:28):
like wink at the camera, and it's like twelve thousand,
I'm sorry, twelve million views. They're probably women in the
eighties or nineties, like, man, I wish I could have
just put it out there like that and made money.
They had to find modeling contracts and you know, go
the hard route. Think about it. It's the eighties nineties,
Like we said in our fantasy throwback old school in
fifty hits. What would you have been posting back then?
It could be sports related, doesn't have to be. You
(37:50):
gotta think about the way we lived, right, Like if
you were going places, because again, people use it to
brag about where they are and what they're doing, right,
so you probably would have posted a mean picture of
here I am at sessame place because where else were
your parents taken? But I'm saying where else where you go?
And it's not that you came from a lot of
(38:11):
us didn't come from money. So what you're saying here
I am at the poking house. I'm thinking of sports
cultural events that would have had social media talking and fighting,
and I feel like one of those big ones. I
hate to take the conversation all serious on you. You're
gonna go challenger on us. No, I was saying sports,
not spaceships. When Magic Johnson HIV positive, that would have
(38:37):
been the most divisive Should he play? Shouldn't he play?
Because people at that time were still unaware, like could
you catch it? What if he touches you? Oh?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
They the meme game would have been pretty fun without
Remember Karl Malone didn't want to play against him. Yeah,
it would been a lot of memes and guys like
Tar Malone would probably be in prison. See that's what
we think about. Honestly, when you think about how it
was such a different world back then, kadem Hardison style
different where you know, the athletes didn't have to deal
(39:07):
with that twenty four to seven the way they have
to deal with it now. Dan Bayer think of the
eighty six Mets, And I only bring that up because
it's not just my team. There's been books the bad
guys won. They were historically known as just honestly partying,
having sex with women and doing cocaine. Lenny Dykstra, Darryl Dwight,
Keith Hernandez. The only clean cut guy on the team
(39:29):
was the late great Gary Carter, who is an outcast
in a way because he was a good guy. Yeah,
imagine those fights. I think there was a fight where
like Timmy Tuffel and Ron Darling or Ray Knight were
having fist fights every time they went on the road,
women in drugs. That team would have been destroyed. Have
you ever read the book? No, No, I haven't, but
I believe you.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
I think the meme game with Magic Johnson, by the way,
would be horrendous, like.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I wouldn't want to.
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Yeah, it would have been. It would have been the
absolute worst. I'll tell you guys what I even look
back to in terms of what I would post my
tech mobile stats. You know, like if Danny's running for
eight hundred yards with bo Jackson, like, you'd.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Be posting those on YouTube though of you playing sure
and even the end screen, you know, or the Christian
Okoya like eighteen touchdowns, you know, six hundred yards. That's
what I would be left exactly what I would be posting. Damn. Also,
g TB I like that.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I like that because we used to go to arcades
and we have to explain to kids what those are
unless they've been to one of the throwback ones that
is opened up now. But remember at the end, you're
the order the stats would come up on the screen.
You're always trying to.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Put your initials on it.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, You're always trying to get up to the top
of the leader board a number five. Imagine taking a
shot of that and then posting it.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
By the way, dude, that is the best memory in
Dan Byer. You're soul right, because that was the coolest
thing to have your initials right up there with the
league leaders at the arcade. You all roun third on Cubert.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yes, and then when you went back to the arcade,
you you always checked to see if it was still there,
if you were still in.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Your parents that their quarters were worth something. Look what
I did. You're so proud of it. You were so
proud of that. You would have definitely been posting that,
There's no question. Then there were idiots like me. You
could never get on the board. But if I did once,
I didn't know how to put my initials in, so
it would just be like d you know, I like
I couldn't get the other two because I had not,
Like I would have hit the enter and then it
would have just locked it in and frozen. That's so funny, dude.
(41:29):
Or like your papa shot scores, like hell yeah, So
what would you have been posting? Back then? We didn't
have the opportunity to think about your kids, think about
young players today athletes, and think about what they would
have been doing back then, you know, and who would
have been a nightmare to deal with. There was a
lot of flashy dudes back then that we didn't get
to see how flashy they were, Like like Deon Sanders.
(41:50):
We see it now, but we didn't see young Neon
Dion and his social media ways. We didn't see those things.
We didn't have the opportunity. What do you think we
would have seen it in this hypothetical? Are we holding
athletes to the political correct standards of today or are
we just keeping inconsistent with the times. Because there's guys
(42:12):
like Charles Barkley, There's guys like Dennis Rodman. There's guys that,
like I feel like, have always spoke in their mind,
and you know, back then it was like, yeah, who cares.
Now they might have been under more of a microscope. Hey,
I think Dennis Rodman would have found himself in more
controversial situations, being outspoken, coming at people posting weird things.
You know, we would have been like, man, I mean
it was already a debate. We would have more insights
(42:33):
on all these guys, already a debate to begin with.
But I think if social media existed in the early
eighties and mid eighties, the whole Larry Bird versus Magic
Johnson like that, you know, the whole the tired debates
of you know, MJ or Lebron, I feel like it
would have been a lot of magic.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Larry also think about this with music and Facebook and
other social media platforms, kids coming out of school have
been caught for posting lyrics like athletes. You know, somebody
digs it up, like, oh, they wrote the N word
on there because it was part of lyrics they quoted.
We grew up with NWA. We were in the NWA days.
(43:09):
Can you imagine the lyrics we would have posted.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Oh, I'd gotten so much trouble would have haunted us. Yeah,
we'd been canceled because Luke Skywalker. Yeah we posted some
lyrics from NWA. So we're canceled now. Yeah that we
got away with that. Definitely got away with that. What
else would you have posted? Think of this too, just
polarizing figures from back then. Athletes from back then. We
(43:35):
would have seen a completely deeper side of what they
were really about. And it's kind of interesting when you
think about how younger kids are growing up knowing everything
about these dudes.
Speaker 6 (43:47):
I could see Steve Cavino standing in the left field
wall or out like forty feet past it and being like,
here's where my twenty fourth home run land is.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Yeah, but you know, shooting back to home plate like, wow,
that is far and I posted on my trophies on
my Instagram story. You know what you would You would
definitely have taken your news clippings, right, because that's all
you had. We had the Internet, but you had your
news clippings of articles that you may have been involved in.
Or hey, Dan Meyer pitched two hit shut out for
(44:16):
the Little League Warriors. I don't know, and you know,
you would definitely have posted your clippings because he didn't
have that. You didn't have that. You didn't have that.
I'm just thinking, it's just thinking of a would you
have used it? Like back then? What made you popular
or what got you you know and in with maybe
(44:38):
a girl you liked was all stuff you did in person,
like you never had to worry about having a strong
social media game. And Rich, you probably would have tried
to throw your game at you know, some of the
female athletes of the day probably just to like get
on their radar. And Rich was like Rich was big, big,
Tanya Harding fanch. Rich probably would have been diving into
(44:59):
your DMS.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
That's a great thought, Rich, Because those of us who
had strict parents, like my mom was strict, the girls
couldn't really call the house, you know what I mean.
There was no way for us to take those old
school phones with the long cords and hide like in
the garage or a room and talk to a girl
without being bothered by somebody in the family. So we
would have communicated with the opposite sex a lot better
back then, had we had social media.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
And really that's a great thought, but not just the
opposite sex. Seriously, like professional athletes, like in order to
like if you collected baseball cards or if you wanted
an autograph, they would put out those address booklets like
those Warry Beckett books of the addresses, and of course
the value of the cards, but you would get books
(45:42):
with the addresses, and you would take your chance to
write to somebody and get it back. You be so thrilled.
Imagine if you had the opportunity to just hit up
Don Mattingly on social media when you were a kid
and just ask for an autograph or something like. They
have that opportunity. We didn't have that. The accessibility of
communicating with your heroes back then was like unheard. Yeah,
(46:02):
the accessibility of celebrity and athlete I think sort of
watered down. Celebrity and athlete, right maybe yeah, like no,
you're right, or we're looking at it different.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
When we learned to write, like an English teacher would
always do the same exercise back in the eighties or nineties,
the whole class would write to one of their heroes
and we'd always see who got a letter back.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
I was one for one. I did it with because
I didn't. I was like, if I write to Dave Winfield,
I'm gonna be one of you know, a one hundred
million kids. So Covino decided. I decided, I'm writing to
Bobby Meacham, Number twenty short stop for the New York Yankees.
No one cares about Bobby Meacham except for me. And
I sent them like a stack of cars that I
had at all the Bobby Meacham's, the Fleer to Don Russ,
(46:44):
the tops, you name it. Leaf. What thought you reach
out to Richard Simmons, No, you did, so reach out
to Bobby Meacham. Sent me back a letter, handwritten letter
Yankee like pens and pins, nice and all autographed cards,
you know. So I was like, man, thought I would
have tried again. I was one for one. I stopped
at the perfect record. But if you had that accessibility
(47:06):
in the eighties nineties, you would have been trying to
be friends with with your random sports hero. I think
we're we're hitting a bunch of different angles.
Speaker 5 (47:13):
Here.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Simplify with this simple question. Would you have wanted it?
Or are you happy with the way we were raised
in the eighties nineties? Maybe you were raised before that.
If you're a kid, if you're roughly forty, you grew
up without social media and smartphones. Do you look back
and say, I cherished the mom, I'll be back for dinner.
I cherished the you know you have a click call
(47:36):
from mom at the ball pick me up? Like, do
you cherish the I rode my bikes around town in
no one knows where I was. The simplicity of like
any independence, Hey Danny, when do we have in dinner?
I don't know. When your father gets home and you'd
be playing wiffle ball in the street, you saw your
dad's car coming down the box. That's just thinking the
way we grew up was the best. I'm saying. You
(47:57):
saw your dad's car driving down the box and you're like, all,
let's wrap up whiffle ball, because as suited, Dad goes
in the house Mom's gonna say, Richie dinner.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Well, we know all of our dads and granddads had
more fun back then because nobody could track them.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
You didn't touch on if we had access to social
media eighties nineties, you would have had all those memories
playing with football. You might not have been outdoors riding
your bike as much as you would. Yeah, they might
not be as many of those moments.
Speaker 8 (48:24):
I think in general, you just I remember things a
lot better because now we rely on endless pictures we
can take with our cell phone. We have posts and stuff.
That's true. I don't remember the phone. It's the phone
number theory.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Sam. It's like if I asked you to tell me
your grandma's phone number, you know it like that. But
if two best friends too, if I asked you anyone
today's phone number, you like, I don't know because I
have something I can soult, a piece of technology and
rely on that which I have memories that are much
more vivid from up until like I don't know endto
high school. Well, I was saying, that's that's uh. Kavino
and I always have the theory of while your kids
(48:57):
generation our kids have you got little kids. Now you
might say, Oh, how cool for them, They're gonna have
every memory possible videos at every event of their life,
but they might not really care that much because it's accessible.
We sort of want what we can have, right, Like
Danny G. Why would a video of you playing football
with your neighbor when you're seven mean a lot to
you because you don't even think it exists? Yeah, little CoA.
(49:21):
How old your son two? Yeah? Not even very Oh
he looks too, he's nine months. Why do I kill
It's time's not flying for that kid. So nine months old.
He's got a mustache already. Yeah, nine months. The kid's
forty pounds. Took him to get his first Raiders tattoo
last week, nine months old. Danny G. You probably, I
(49:41):
guarantee you and Brenda, your wife, probably have twenty thousand
photos of him on your phone's combined easy. My parents
might have thirty photos from eighty five to nineteen ninety.
You would have a lot of pictures of you and
your friends on bikes, and we don't. I have maybe one.
I don't have any of one cracked polaroids somewhere in
a box, you know. Com You don't ask me recently
because we were celebrating an anniversary of our show, and
(50:03):
we were saying, like, yo, early on, we have some
pictures of our show. Would you believe I don't have
one picture of me at my college radio station. I
don't have one picture of my college dorm room.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Dude, that's a great point. Somebody asked me on I
think National Radio Day. Somebody said in the group, post
a picture of you at your first radio station.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
I'm like, I don't even have a picture of that. Yeah,
because we weren't. It's not what we were concerned about either. No,
I have a pervy question, because you don't have cameras
and you don't have cell phones and stuff like that
back then. On hand, do you wish you had a
picture of every girl you dated or went on a
day with, or hooked up with, because the reality is
(50:42):
you probably some of them were just a blurry memory
in your mind. Like you mean, like a smutty picture.
I'm just saying, even a regular picture, like you know,
I mean, I kind of do you don't have pictures
of all the girls you date?
Speaker 4 (50:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (50:53):
You mean like cooked up? Like if you were to
like you nowadays, if you were to go to a
college bar, all night. You'd be a click click click
taking a million photos. Yeah, might have been some cute
Oh I remember that cute blonde girl you made that
with in you know, And by the way, you could
tie that right back into sports. I was at the
nineteen ninety six World Series when the Yankees won. I
have one picture, no one picture. I don't got no
(51:15):
one picture of me at the parade, not nothing, nothing,
got nothing from that except hear what's in my brain?
I was. That's a whole lot. You chose, you the difference.
I was at the twenty fifteen World Series and the
Mets are in it miserable because the Mets stink. But
I have like a whole cat like you know, probably
hundreds of photos of that experience. So it just shows
you times have changed. And this is all based on
(51:36):
a meme we saw and we do this every Thursday.
We throw it back old school in fifty hits, and
the meme reads, let's pretend it's the eighties or nineties.
Whenever you grew up and you have social media, you
have Facebook, what's something you would have posted back then?
And then you got to think about, well, what's social
media use for? Mostly now tonight? It will be used
(51:57):
for fighting politics. Tonight's gonna be about politics because of
Trump's uh conviction and NBA and NBA and NHL playoff.
It's really a big look at me and how would
you have said, hey, look at me? Hey? And if
you want a little, if you want a little fun
conversation at dinner tonight when you get home from work, hey,
ask your husband or wife, ask ask your family. What
(52:18):
would you have wanted to post back in your childhood
if you had social media? And what would you have
wanted to look back on? Who you got? Danny? Your
parents were young, so your mom would have been posting
pictures of her meat loaf. Well, think about it? Is
that innuendo for something?
Speaker 2 (52:30):
No? Yeah, quickly on the phone, says Trevor and Reno. Yo, Trevor,
what's up?
Speaker 1 (52:37):
Man?
Speaker 5 (52:38):
Hey, how are you guys?
Speaker 10 (52:40):
The first thing that I thought of when you guys
are talking about it was I would definitely be posting
like my Halloween candy hall, my Christmas presents and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
Oh yeah for sure. Yeah, Yo, check out with sand
it brot me bro what else we got daddy?
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (52:53):
Brian and Augusta Yo, Ry, what's up?
Speaker 10 (52:55):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (52:56):
Fellas what you got?
Speaker 9 (52:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (52:57):
What would you look back on? Social media? Wise if
we had it?
Speaker 10 (53:01):
If we had it, I probably would post because I
talked to a friend of mine about this the other day.
Our parents would have died if they knew how far
away from home we actually went.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
Would cause you know, and I have talked about that
feeling of you know, when you're riding your bike and
you even know yourself, you're like, I've gone too far.
You feel anyway, You're like you're one town too far.
You're like, where am I? I know I'm too far?
There's no GPS? No, And so wait, Brian, would you
have posted where you were at? Or No?
Speaker 10 (53:31):
Now, I probably would have posted where I was at
because my mom probably wouldn't have had social media anyway.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
No, you know what a lot of our moms would
have been posting booty shots. There's a lot of moms
now the shots, right, what if your mom was what
if your mom was posting like bikini pictures.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
Well, a lot of our parents snooped in our rooms.
They probably would have snooped on our social media too.
Speaker 4 (53:49):
Well.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
We would have had a lot of pictures of our rooms,
which we don't have, because we would have been whatever
we were doing, we'd be taking pictures of it, whether
we were in our room messing around, horsing around, or
or if you were outside. You know how you see
people kids today, they got a little phone set up
and they're just filming themselves taking swings or whatever. I
would have none of that. That would have been valuable
(54:10):
in a fun way. Like Danny, imagine me, you and
Covino We're playing out on the NBA jam and I
would have been on my Instagram story like, Hey, what's up,
but you playing in jam? Like that would have been
you know, that's right.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
We would have took pictures of our record and CD collections,
our posters, sports posters.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
Oh that's a good one, my tvd cliss, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
I would have took pictures of my first speakers and turntables, all.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
The DJ equipment. Yeah, you know, what's a good thought.
You know what, though, I do have something based on
that on VHS somewhere somewhere, who knows where, but somewhere
I do have the first time I got to Mike
Tyson on Mike Tyson's punch Out, and it was when
he lost to Buster Douglas. So nineteen ninety, I have
that VHS somewhere and I go, but Dad, come here,
(54:53):
good luck, fight me hit the camera of fighting. Mike Tyson, Hey,
so what would you have posted if it existed back then?
How would have it changed sports? Let us know at
Covino and Rich and at Fox Sports Radio, we didn't
do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man.
