we throw it back, we reminisce, and we discuss today
(02:07):
what was the best eighties nineties teen drama slash comedy
Because today, June fifth is the forty year anniversary of
Ferris Bueller's actual day off. Now, the movie came out
June eleventh, nineteen eighty six, but his day off was
traced to be on this day forty years ago, June fifth,
(02:30):
eighty five.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
The first to do the research, by the way, was
a sports writer.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You hear the radio announcer in the movie. You remember
Ferris Bueller's there. They see him at the Cubs game.
He catches a foul ball. He's got his vest on.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You hear the.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Radio announcer say, Claudel Washington is a bat and he
was on the Braves at the time. So the scene
was filmed during an actual game between the Cubs and
Braves June fifth, eighty five. The final score of that
game was the Cubs four, the Braves to take a
listen runner at first Fish, nobody got it's the first
(03:07):
have done that, only the fourth. Then in the game,
going to the.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Count, there's a drive le field twisting.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And into foul territory. Oh, I'm really surprised. I didn't
go for it about anything.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Lee Smith.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Is nothing nothing, Who's winning?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That's my favorite line. No, that's great. Everybody knows the movie.
Everybody knows the reference.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And of course the camera went on to Ferris as
he's jumping up and down in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh, it's the best.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Looking away about that? So we better, I mean we
when Cameron was in E Cameron lots, you know what
I mean. It's just a part of us at this point.
Dan Byer's favorite.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Now again, that was June fifth, forty years ago, nineteen
eighty five. And I always remember that because Cludo Washington
was also a Yankee and I was a fan of his,
so he was playing in that game. They figured it out,
but the movie actually came out about a year later,
June eleventh, nineteen eighty six. Now, I think that's everyone's
(04:29):
go to answer, like what's your favorite teen comedy from
the eighties nineties? I think Ferris Bueller would be the
number one answer on the board, I really do. And
it holds the test of time. And that's when Matthew
Broddock was really cool. Really he was cool. You don't
think goonies would give it a run for its money. Actually,
it's a great answer, Danny g Keep that on standby
and let's get the phone calls going eight seven to
(04:50):
seven ninety nine on Fox. Is that a teen comedy?
I think that's a debate in itself. I guess it is.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It is.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, And we could just say eighties nineties teen movies
if you want.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right, because you know to mine for me. And I'm
bringing this up because I don't feel like it gets
enough props. When you think of those John Hughes classics,
John Hughes did Ferris Bueller's Day Off. When you think
of all those famous movies, the breakfast Clubs and the
Pretty and Pinks and all those types of movies, people
(05:21):
often forget about sixteen Candles. And that is my personal
number one, barely edging out of Ferris Bueller. As much
as I love Ferris Bueller. And like I said, I
admit and acknowledge it probably is.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The number one.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Sixteen Candles for me, I think is a really close
second for most.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Number one for me that's.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Long Duck Dong, Jake Ryan.
I don't know those guys' real names, but still a
classic nineteen eighty four came out May fourth, nineteen eighty four,
John Hughes. And here's why I say this. The father
of a teenage daughter teenage pain in the ass, and
(06:05):
I do the teenage kid of today test.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Does the movie stand the test?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Of time from today's eyes, because if you watch like
The Breakfast Club now, it's slow and it's boring, and
kids still like it, but not as much as they
like Feris Bueller and not as much as they like
sixteen Candles. I feel like people sleep on that one.
That's my number one Danny g Goonies. You show a
kid that movie today, they still like it. Yeah, And
(06:33):
that's how you know.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And this this will probably be debated as well, but
McFly was supposed to be seventeen. They were in high school,
So does that count as a teen movie?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I mean that goes down is what they call the
perfect movie, maybe the greatest movie ever. I don't even
know if that's even in this conversation.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It's like that's about it centered the characters it's centered
around Spotty are teenage. Yeah, but it doesn't have teen
movie energy.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
It's it's more of like a time travel dances and
it's like takes child.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's a great I don't think it falls in that
catechyst or. It hasn't, but maybe it should, but it hasn't.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I mean, it's a sci fi travel movie, but it
definitely takes a lot of it takes place in the
high school setting.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Like ferries People's day Off is you know, quintessentially a
teen movie.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Day day off from high school.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yeah, and it was on this day sixteen candles teen movie.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like I mentioned breakfast Club, it's also about high school.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
It takes place on a high school campus. Body, no
one ever fish under the Sea dance.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's so interesting you say that because when people talk
teen movies, it rarely comes up.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
But it's it's a teen going back to change his parents' past.
It's a time travel the time travel movie back when
they were in high school because he's in high school.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Doc Brown is an you know age Wow. I well,
theyre There's also adults like the principal in Ferris Bueller's
Day Off Clinton.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Oh yeah, so old school in fifty hits. We get
it Righteouster.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
To solve the debate, Fox Sports Radio Nation be dialing
now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Maybe if
you're nice, Danny g You'll give you a prize. Who knows,
I'm just trying to get people to call, bribing you
with a swiggy But eighties nineties teen dramas comedies, I'm
saying sixteen candles. Ferris Bueller is definitely on the Mount Rushmore,
(08:31):
no question.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
He was off on this day. Matthew Broderick at his.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Greatest, in my opinion, so many funny scenes and quotable
scenes from that movie. I think there's one from the
nineties that should be in the conversation, but only one
I agree from the nineties that people also forget about.
But I'm gonna leave it open spot and let's that's
your answer.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It might be my answer.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
All right, let's let's let's what I'm gonna call.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I want people to call yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (08:56):

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Dude, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's a good wasn't That's a really good answer, though
I would say for what yeard that come out?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Though let me double check. It might be two thousand
oh Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Thought it was for some reason.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I also think it's a nice workaround to not doing
Iowa Sam. You know, like you don't you want to
name a couple of movies, but you just throw the
one out there first.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Thanks Dan.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I thought, good call on that, man, because I think
that's another one people tend to forget.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
That's a really good one.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
All right, let's talk to Doug in Maryland.
Speaker 1 (09:50):

Speaker 8 (10:00):
Nineteen eighty two Fast Times Ridgemont High Class.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
That's right up there at the top of the list.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It was a real good one. And you know what,
run right across the street?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, we broadcast right across the street from where that
was filmed, the high school that it was filmed, which
is now like a mall in Sherman Oaks County.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
That was the mall.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
That the mall the mall in the movie There you Go.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
The mall was just different back then. They've reconstructed it.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I knew it was filmed there, I didn't know exactly
what part nice.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
All right, let's talk to Trip in Vegas, Bogus.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Buddy.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Hey, what's up, gentlemen?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
How are you all?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Trip?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Looking forward to seeing you man in Vegas? Twentieth twenty first,
twenty second. Everybody's invited.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
I'm gonna be there braining as many as we can.
I look forward to it. Before my movie, I was
going to clear up that real I D thing that
was the Gettysburg address.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
It was four to four and seven years ago.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
You need a real life D.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
All right, that's the weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, we've been.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
We've had since Abe Lincoln to get our real ID,
and I've procrastinated.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
And then, even though Ferris Bueler is my favorite, I'm
gonna tell you so, I'm gonna tell you the nineties
movie for you. Ready ahead, Yeah, plan lot.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I don't think that it's not a teen movie.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That's like a kid sports movie.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
It's a kid coming of age, and they might have
been around twelve thirteen, maybe technically teenagers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Trip.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I love you and I love that movie, but I
don't consider that a teen movie.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I do consider that that's a little.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
That's more like movie that has more of a goonies vibe,
like at that age group.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
The age group is is like young kid like eight
nine year old boys to like maybe thirteen year old boys.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Let me ask you, guys. The one I first wrote
down here then stand by Me from nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Six, and is the kid's movie of age and their kids.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I think they were America teenagers.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yeah, kids, they were young kids because remember it was
like the old the older kids that they kind of
had that little battle with at the end there.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah key for Sutherland. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Uh, they were like actually high school, you know, because
they can drive and stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Great movie, but I don't get love. Teen movies have
a vibe. It says that the kids characters were twelve
to fourteen. Yes's teen movie.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I do know. Maybe Lardas was fourteen, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I also think that there's a difference between a teen
movie and a movie you watched as a teen. Okay,
that's true. And I say this because the movie lines
that me and my friends in high school recited the
most were from Revenge of the Nerds.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
That's true. That was a college movie. Yes, and the.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Teenagers nonetheless, because they were eighteen and yes, and there
may be scenes that aren't appropriate, but when you were
an older.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Teen you saw those scenes, but it wasn't like a
teen movie like you would put John Hughes. But I know,
in just reciting Booger's lines from that was the movie
that as a teenager in high school that if I
had a buddy that I hadn't seen in thirty years
and this actually happened. He sent me Revenge of the
(12:59):
Nerds lines from that movie.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So I heard that you could burp like Booker, Is
that your.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
No one? No one can do.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You remember Booger's big return on Moonlighting? He was on
Moonlighting with Bruce Willis. Yeah, anyway, you know, I think
that's a great point from everybody, actually, but Dan Byer
make a great point.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
There's a difference you watched it as a teen.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And then there's certain movies that I think just aren't
teen movies, like Back to the Future, it's a time
travel movie.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
E t is an alien movie.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, there's teenagers in the movie riding their bikes around,
but that's an alien movie. I think teen movies are
very specific. Sam Loot, that's a that's a little league
kids movie, are coming of age movie?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
All right, here's what you can't argue with the Yeah,
teen Wolf. That's a teen movie. That's a team no question,
it's a movie of puberty. It's a movie.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, it's teen Wolf. I think Styles and Michael J.
Fox and Chubbs and yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Teen movies.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
I think the commonality is it has to sort of
take place in high school. I think there has to
be some sort of school Envarn describing back to the future,
you know what take place A.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Nice spot line hit him with the one from the nineties,
and if I could read Spot's mind, there's one from
the nineties that could sort of fit into the John
Hughes Ferris Bueller's Day Off Old School in fifty hits
conversation the same. I hope you're not does it involve
Seth Green, We're not giving it? Okay, then we're on
the same page.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
It is nineteen ninety eight's Can't Hardly Wait. Definitely it
is the movie quintessential teen movie.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think that's the only one from the late nineties
that has the same heart and vibe of an eighties
John Hughes film. That's with Amanda Beckett and Josh what
was his name, Mike Dexter.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Mike Dexter Jennifer So, Nathan Embry, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and
Peter Fatchinelli. It was just an It was an all
star cast.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Basically, the question is this, These are all great movies.
But I'm here to say that even my number one,
sixteen Candles, because I watched it with my daughter and
it still holds up, It's still.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Not bigger than Ferispueler's day off.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So on his day off June fifth, nineteen eighty five,
this day, forty years ago, is there anything that rivals
that one as far as universally accepted as still watchable,
holds the test of time and great, let's.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Go to the phones.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Ah yeah, loaded lines here. Let's start with Jeremy and Spokane.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Jeremy, you're on the show, Cavino and Rich, Yes.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Guys, I'm gonna go with Spaceballs.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
From the opening scene when the ship is too long
to the comb in the desert, I mean, the black
guys got to pick is just all all over the state.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I love your call, what I appreciate you contributing, but
you did exactly what Dan Byer just said. You watched
it as a teen. That doesn't make it a teen movie.
That's a space comedy.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
It's adult comedy movie.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Teams.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
There's not even any teenagers in the movie, just because
as a team. That doesn't make it a teen movie,
but a great call, a great movie. Yeah, yeah, Sam,
before we get to the phones, what's up?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Sam?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Good one from the nineties Ten Things I Hate About
You love it? It's definitely a teen movie.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeap.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Who's in that one?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Heath Ledger and what's your Name?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And I'm not sure I'm that familiar with that movie,
so maybe it's.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
One I watch based on Teaming of the Shrew.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I mean, I obviously know the title and the movie
and Heath Ledger, but yeah, I don't think i've seen it.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Who else we got?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Dannyj Let's Talk to Alex in Maine.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Alex can anything rival?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Ferris Bueler's Day Off Dan Byer's favorite movie on his
actual day off.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Now.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
I wouldn't consider myself a nineties kid. I was born
in ninety eight, but one of my favorites was Matthew
McConaughey Classic Days Didn't Confuse Great?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You know that's borderline too. I think that's a team movie.
But I also think that's like a like a pot movie,
like a week.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
It's a retro teen movie because it was it took
place in the eight took place in the seventies, but
it came out in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Group of southern California high school students.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Right, I'm glad you brought it up. Man, good one.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
It's definitely debatable, and it has a huge cult following, no.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Question, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
All right, Bobby in Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Bobby, you're on the show.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Cavino and Rita took mine, so I had I had
one as a backup, and that maybe borderline, but stand
by me.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Yeah, that was on my list. Man. They say no though,
and I wanted to. I wanted to play the pie
eating clip that we had the audio affair.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Play it anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I think it's debatable on whether or not it's considered
a team movie.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Let's play the clip.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I'll get it in a second here. Well, I erased
it after you guys, after we shot you. Yeah, if
you ruined my dreams, All right, let's talk to Steve
and I'll Alaska.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Hey, Steve, Hey, how you guys doing today?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Doing good?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Man?
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Hey, I got one for you. It's one that probably
not too many people know about John Cusack Better Off Games.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I was just thinking of that. It's a great one.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I want my two dollars, dude.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Honestly, that's such an underrated movie that I every time
it was on, I left it on.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I thought that was a great one.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
And it had the random Hamburger dance scene that the
kids could get into and the Hamburgers playing van Halen.
Everybody wants some so random, so fun.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I love that movie. I think it's great.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, Better that's a real good one. Let's talk to
Chris and Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Chris a few of them.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I got one that's not exactly a teen movie, but
something I watched as a team National Lampoon Vacation. Yeah,
that's that's on the list I'm looking at for you.
It's vacation. Yeah, but okay, very specific.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I actually agree.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I know certain lists group these things together, but I
think eighties movies have a totally or teen movies have
a totally different vibe about him, and John Hughes is
responsible for most of them.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, like we had we had a Kelly tweeted in
Uncle Buck, like you know, and so then you're they're like, okay,
blurring lines or.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, his niece was in high school. Yeah, like yeah,
but it's not a school movie, more about their uncle.
It's like a family's uncle. Bucks. What would you what
would you guys say about the Karate Kid? Karate Kid
is a teen movie? Okay, thank you damn.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Then that might be my number one, because I still
think that's great, even though people are torn on the
new one. Karate Kid Legends in theaters now with Jackie
Chan and Ralph Maccio. You know, there's a movie that
people forget and people often think, at least I often
think it's a John Hughes movie, but it's not. But
it comes up in these conversations some kind of wonderful
love it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It's not a On Hughes movie, but a great eighties
sort of teen movie. But when it comes to the nineties,
I think the Kings of the nineties we already got
the American pies and can't hardly wait. Yeah, are the
ones we're forgetting from the nineties.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Oh yeah, there's like a few random ones like Iowa,
Sam mentioned what.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Did you mention? I was saying again, ten things I hate,
ten things I hate about you is a good one.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
It was the one where Rachel Lee Cook She's all that,
which I was just about to say, that's a good one.
And Freddy Prince right, isn't any of that one Drive
Me craz Yeah, Freddy Prince was in that Drive Me
Crazy with Adrian Grenier and Melissa Joan Hart was another
one that was ninety nine. There was a lot of
good random that to that to me is like a
nineties teen movie style, just like eighties to me as
(20:43):
a John Hughes movie teen movie. So I think we
we crowned the king on this day, So we did
solve that. I think no matter how much we love
a particular one, we all could universally agree, unanimously agree
that we all love Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Dan Byer,
You're not wrong about that, and it still holds the
test of time. When you watch it with your little son,
(21:04):
I'm guaranteeing he's still gonna like it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
He's gonna think that Ferris Bueller was the coolest.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I watched with my daughter, and I was amazed to
see how she still identified with it. She thought Sloan
Peterson was a hotty, just like you did, just like
you did growing up because she was and still is.
And it's a classic that we honor on his day off,
on Rich's day off, because Rich is at the Mets game,
so again, forty years ago today, Ferris took the day
(21:32):
off and enjoyed the Cubs and the Braves and the
rest of your feedback at Covino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio. And if you're on the phone now, we'll
do a little rapid fire on the other side, all right,
and I'm gonna tell you why the Mets are so
unlikable and more NBA, Fox Sports Radio, Covino and Rich.

Get home on time before his parents got there. What
is the best team comedy drama from the eighties nineties?
Before we get to your phone calls? Rapid Fire, dB,
what's up, buddy?
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You know you and me love some TikTok. A lot
of people love TikTok. There is a TikTok video that
popped in my algorithm lately. On how all of the
license plates in Ferris Bueller's reference other John Hughes movies.
So if you look at the license plates, say in
that chase scene where his mom and you know, or
Genie's driving and then his dad's driving, you look at
(24:38):
the license plates, they all reference different John Hughes films
from the past.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Some easter eggs, all right, so we'll take your phone calls.
Then I'm gonna tell you why the Mets stink, why
I don't like him, why they're the most hate herble team,

Speaker 1 (24:53):
But your phone calls.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Now, who we got, DNG, Let's go to Missouri Kelly?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Hey, Kelly, I got two really quickly Varsity Blues and
Can't Buy Me Love?
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Now they don't rival faris Feeler's Day Off.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Because that is my all time favorite.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
But those are definitely up there as far as teen
movies in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
And you know, I'm going you're bringing these up too,
because not everybody has seen them. Maybe you check them out,
Maybe check them out with your kids too, to see
if they still hold up.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Thanks. Who do we got? I Don't Want Your Life?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Tony in Virginia? Hey, Tony Hey?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And R rated one Porky.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Yeah, Porky's is on some of the lists I looked
at today.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Oh what is that like? A R rated teen comedy?
I guess so, yeah, eighties teen comedy. You're up late
at night? Go ahead, Sam, that was one you definitely
stayed up late to watch.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Yeah, I guess was sort of supposed to be shot
in the same era. But it makes me think of
like Grease. It Greece is a high school Definitely high
school movie seventy eight, I know, but it takes place
in the fifties. Both of those films, Porky's and Grease
both take place but they're.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
High school kids. There's also all their difference is in Greece.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
No, definitely the adult human No, just like like Porky's
to me was the dirty movie growing up, right, Like
that's what it was. It never I never would have
considered that a teen Yeah, not exactly in the genre. No.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I sort of agree with dB only because it was
so next level, Like I said, who else we got, right.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Let's go to Pennsylvania, Josh, what up?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Josh?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Hey guys, you guys are like, uh, you got a
knee for the uh teen movie? I think if you
got teens in it, it's a teen movie, but something more.
My vibe is The Lost Boys. I love Farrispieler's day Off,
but I didn't watch Lost Boys every week.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Lost Plays is kind of a teen movie, it is.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think that is a sort of a teen movie.
And a good one. So I'm glad you added to
the conversation. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Is that it, Danny g No, we got a few
more here. Oh wow, yeah, man, phones have been melting

like that will replace it.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
COVID have I have a nominee, but I don't want
to take any of the callers. So if we have
a few more callers, but I want to run one
by you, all right, definitely cool.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Let's talk to Taylor in Orlando.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Hey Taylor, Hey guys, how's it going good? I'm one
of my favorite movies from I think it's maybe eighty
is Caddy Shack.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Movie? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
No, don't even just say no. I mean Danny Noonan
is trying to earn a scholarship. He's a teen Yeah,
he's a teen.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Movie just because it's I dodn't want to debate our callers.
I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That doesn't mean as a teen movie.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
All right? Dan in Minnesota, Hey Dan.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
How's it going fast? Times at Ridgemont High? No shoes,
no day?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Definitely early eighties classic teen movie for sure.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I know DV has one there.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah, I'm curious and your guys saw because I don't
consider it a teen movie. But where are you on footloose?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I'll tell you a movie.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
My feet were never that loose. I've never never seen it.
I've never seen it. You believe that that's right?
Speaker 4 (29:06):
And he wants to put it on his list to see,
and he said, no.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
You never saw dirty Dancing.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
The whole dancing thing sort of threw me off.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It is because it's based in high school. It's that
whole theme, but I think I get so focused on
the John Hughes aspect of and I love Footloose. It's
one of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You kick off your Sunday shoot, Hey, buyer, I have
one that I'm surprised nobody said. And we wore this
VHS tape out Weird Science.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh, yes, absolutely, that's absolute. Anthony Michael Hall and Wyatt
whatever his name was, Yeah, that belongs to the conversation.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I'm younger Robert Downey Jr. Yes, Yes, I'm a big
Vision Quest fan. Great movie, so it's Botty's favorite. That's
a good team movie.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Hey, thanks again for participating. I think we did establish
that nothing really beats today's anniversary Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Now,
the movie came out again eighty six June eleventh, but today,
forty years ago was.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
His day off.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
And we have a lot in common, to be honest,
Ferris Bueller and I both very popular with the sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods,
waste toys, gweebiesdale O, Doormy.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I think it's righteous dude.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I'm Steve Cavino, Dan Byer, Danny g Sam and spot
is here. I'm gonna tell you why the Mets stink,
but first let's talk to Dan Byer getting updated.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
No, I'm so sorry I stepped on you. I apologize
for that one. Aaron Rodgers stepped on the NBA Finals
because he's gonna sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The free
agent quarterback gonna sign a one year deal to play
in twenty twenty five in the steel City NFL network.
The first to report the news, Pittsburgh Post Becausette says
Rogers is going to sign in time to take part

in next week's mandatory mini camp. Other NFL new Steelers
did place tennant Donald Parham on the reserve injured list
of the rupture. Early's tended ending his twenty twenty five
season before it began. Colt quarterback Anthony Richardson gonna miss
next week because of a shoulder issue. He's also in
jeopardy of missing the start of training camp starting July twenty.
(31:13):

Mets five apiece now in the bottom of the eighth inning.
All the other action in Day Baseball his final. Giants

They swept the Mariners, winning four to three. Today, A's

Speaker 4 (31:35):
White Sox needed ten.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
We got pass the Tigers three to two, and the
Jays were a nine to one victor against Philadelphia. While
earlier today in Atlanta, down the.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Left field line into the corner, it goals Marte stores
Argas right behind him and the Diamondbacks take the lead
eleven to ten. It's a miraculous seven run ninth fitting
it and you Henel s or As is too RBI
double that you heard of the Diamonbacks Radio network gave
(32:03):
the Snakes the lead for good.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
They win in Atlanta with that seven run ninth, eleven
to ten. French Open Coco Goff, second seed in American
advances to the final on the lady side. She'll face

and again tonight game one of the NBA Finals, Pacers
(32:26):

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Go back to you.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Thank you, Dan Byer, Thanks Fox Sports Radio Nation. Thanks
all the feedback too. Again at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio. Now it's getting late early, so remember
to tune into over Promise right after this show in
just how many minutes, like twenty minutes, over Promised with
Cavino and Rich. Rich will be on over Promised. We're
going to talk about Tom Thibodeaux. We're going to talk
(32:51):
about bald guys and short kings, trying to uplift all
the short kings out there again us on Fox Sports
Radio's YouTube channel right after this show, episode ninety five,
and we're also going to talk some NBA Finals wrap
it up. We did that earlier. If you missed it,
catch to podcast. But I do want to set this up.
(33:11):
It's Rich Davis's day off. He thinks he's Ferris Ferris Bueller,
but he's a goon who likes the Mets. I gotta say,
I don't know if it's the whole Jan Soto thing.
It probably is a lot of it has to do
with Wan Soo. As a Yankees fan, my bitterness probably
starts there, but it doesn't end there. I truly believe
that the Mets are the most unlikable team in the MLB.
(33:35):
And I'll tell you why, because I think they were
arguably the most likable team last year, and they got
rid of a few key players and they added Wan Soto,
and I'm here to tell you that I think they're
more unlikable than the team that actually beat my team,
the Dodgers. The Dodgers are way more likable than the
(33:55):
New York Mets, and I want to know your thoughts
about it and your reasons as to why you think.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I'm right or wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
We're gonna chop it up and talk more MLB and
NBA next right here on Fox Sports Radio, Coveno and Rich.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
All right, welcome.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Back Throwback Thursday that I thought was a Friday of
the entire day Covino and Rich Steve Covino with Danny
G dan Byer, Iowa, Sam, and you Fox Sports Radio Nation. Now,
from searching online, asking your friends and family, there's lots
of ways to look for jobs, so remember express employment
(34:38):
And for over forty years, tire Rack has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive fast and free back by free road hazard
protection with Coveni inslave installation options like mobile Tire Insallation,
tire rack dot Com the way tire buying should be now.
I gotta tell you, I've had a lot of fun
(35:00):
hanging out with you guys today. But Rich Davis taking
his day off like Ferris Bueller to see the Mets
really got me thinking about the Mets, and I really
despise him. And of course it all goes back to
Juan Soto. The Yankees did everything they could to keep
the guy, and he leaves. So every time he strikes out,
(35:23):
and every time I look and he's still batting into
two thirties and he's not doing much. I am so
pumped about it. If his biggest highlight so far was
a few home runs and him flipping a water bottle, Yes,
but it's not just that, man. It's like anything when
you rip the heart out of something, it's just never
the same. It could be a TV show you like
(35:45):
or a movie you like. Speaking of movies, you know,
when Wesley Snipes was no longer in Major league, it
just wasn't the same to me. And when you think
of the Mets last year, when you think of the Mets,
what made him really likable was the heart that they
played with and the fun stuff that they were surrounded by,
like the whole OMG thing, as corny as I thought
(36:06):
as it was, I feel like Jose Iglesios was a
major part of that team. And they threw him away,
toss him aside like yesterday's diapers. They threw him in
the trash. He's a padre. Now the whole candle, eat
the thing. Omg. That was all the Mets last year. Oh,
we love the Mets and they were a fun, lovable
team that I mean even the casual fan could get
(36:27):
behind Lindor really likable guy Polar Bear, Pete big Goon.
But he came through in the clutch. You're like, wow,
there's something magical about this.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Team, Grimace Hawk to a girl.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, there was a lot going on that made them
likable even if you don't root for the Mets. But
they tossed away a lot of that for Juan Soto,
and to me, that makes them so much less likable.
And how about the whole vibe of they were so
on the fence of even bringing back Polar Bear Pete.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You know, he's not the most likable dude, but he
plays hard.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
He's a met the way I see it, no one's
really screaming about keeping them. They were ready to dish
them aside, and now he's the only guy really delivering.
Guy hit what two bombs yesterday and you know everyone's
still talking about Wuan Soto.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I'm like, yo, he's your guy.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Ever since they got Sodo, dude, I feel like the
whole image has changed, and I dislike them more than
I like then. I dislike the Dodgers and they beat
the Yankees this year because I think the Dodgers are
still just more likable with a bunch of likable people.
And it starts with show Heyo Tani Sho Heo Tani,
Max Muntzy, Mookie Betts. Dude, the guy's so likable. There's
(37:42):
lots of guys that are fun to root for, even
though they're overpaid, even though they're ridiculously good. There's something
about the Mets that just rubs me the wrong way.
And it's not just and that doesn't feel very met
to me. I feel like they're better when they're likable.
Having Juan Soto has ruined their image, and I think
it's gonna cost them when it comes to chemistry in
(38:02):
the long run.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
That's my take on that.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
It's like getting rid of Jose Iglesias to make room
for this guy. I just feel like you got rid
of the heart of what made the Mets the Mets
and what made them likable. It's like Roseanne without Roseanne.
It's like your favorite band without the main guy. Dan Byer,
what are your.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Thoughts on, Yeah, it's funny because your team, could you know,
I think is a team that everybody loves to hate
every single year. But I felt like the year when
Aaron Judge was a rookie, yeah, and he was coming
on the scene, that they turned likable. And I felt
the Mets last year, that last year was a throwaway
year that ended up ending up very well for them.
But once you get back to doing what you normally
(38:41):
do as a fan of neither of the teams. And
I don't even think it's fair for Danny to comment
because he's a Dodgers fan of You know, you guys
are fans of these big, big baseball teams, and the
general consensus around I think major League Baseball with the
other twenty seven teams or twenty five teams, however you
want to say, are on the outside looking into those
big market squads. We usually look down on our nose
(39:05):
at those, being like, oh, those are the big spenders.
And I think you're exactly right about the Mets. Last
year they had an organic feel to them and the
run that they went on in the second half of
the year was amazing, and now it just kind of
seems manufactured.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Nailed it, Dan Bayer, We could wrap on that. The
point is, it's not the Yankees. Judge is a likable guy.
It's not the Dodgers, Mookie Betts, Shohil Tani. These are
likable guys. The Mets now and everything they did to
disregard their key players to get Wan Soto, they're the
least likable. That being said, NBA Finals Thursday, let's get
(39:43):
a fire. Let's start with you. Let's go Game one.
Who you got to win and why?
Speaker 5 (39:48):
Okay, So just for tonight, I think the Thunder will win,
but I like the Pacers to be able to cover.
I think that they'll be able to keep it close,
but in the end, the Thunder win. Tonight, but the
Pacers cover.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Nice Danny g NBA guys.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Yeah, man for the series. Besides Siakam and Halliburton being huge,
of course, I think Nie Smith and Turner are going
to be huge in this series. I like the Pacers
in six.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, the way Nie Smith was hitting threes too, always dangerous.
Iowa was Sam, you gotta pick here, Pacers, Shocked tonight,
Shock tonight. But who do you got?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
I'll take the Pacers why.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I completely agree with dB and thank you guys for
hanging out.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
It's Covino and Rich see you in the over Promised Land.
Let's go
