Danny g puts up the podcast the best of and
we got our bonus pod today where we said we're
gonna pay a little tribute to Gene Hackman and go
over the best fictional coaches of all time. Our video
pod on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel in about
an hour. We'll also talk some baseball, because we're pretty
(01:04):
hyped about that. But later on this show, Travis Kelcey
will get to that, some NFL and more. But every
Thursday we get you involved eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
If you want to chime in on social media, we reminisced,
we throw it back, and we got some crappy news
(01:26):
that Hooters and theory was always great. I was never
a big Hooters guy, but in theory, No, it wasn't
really big on the East Coast. You grew up in Jersey.
I grew up in New York. It wasn't a big deal.
The rest of the count worked though once in a
while we would go, you know, we would go after work.
It was a good like meeting spot. But you would think,
like I said that that business model was in no fail.
(01:48):
They announced bankruptcy. Maybe it'll be saved, I don't know.
They also said Joe Wann's this week the arts and
crafts place going down. So a lot of the places
we grew up with are gone. Like, did you ever
think Sears would go away? I would have never once
Roebuck said, farewell, No, seriously, you know, and I mentioned
(02:08):
that just recently Rainforest Cafe, they're hanging on by a thread.
They just closed down one of the most iconic locations
in New Jersey, and there's one left in Atlantic City.
I'm sure there's a few here and there, but they're
hanging by a string, by a thread. That being said,
we ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation, let's go back
and reminisce on those national chains that we all remember
(02:29):
that are no longer here, stores that we miss. Do
you think you could buy one of those animatronic alligators
somewhere from Rainforest Cafe? Go for it, man. But speaking
of atatronics, I'll kick it off. Everybody remembers Chuck E Cheese.
It's still around, right, But before that, there was a
place and it was magical, and it was all over
the country, and I used to go there as a kid,
(02:52):
as an eighties kid, anytime there was arcades and pizza involved,
I wanted to go and at place this magical man
memory for me that I miss. And it's not that
I miss it because I missed my childhood and I
want to go back. But I wish I could have
shared these things with my kid, but they no longer exist. Really,
show Biz Pizza Place. Do you guys remember that? I well,
(03:13):
not that I went there before, turned to Chuck E Cheese.
Chuck E Cheese ended up buying it out. But their
animatronics were full body animatronics and the whole premise was
Billy Bob and Fatz and the Rock of Fire Explosion.
They were a band rich, so you were going there
to watch like a show and a performance, like they
were rocking out while you were eating pizza and then
running into the arcade. Yeah, dude, guys were love it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I your mom took us to the McDonald's playground. Yo.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, but theg You don't understand how I had to beg.
We had to beg our parents back then right now
we're such suckers with our kids. So I missed that.
I'll start off by saying show Biz Pizza Place. Missed
that place. I'll hit you up with one. The pizza
tasted just like the Chucky Cheese pizza though, and it
was not great pizza. I loved it as a kid.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
They've actually they've improved their pizza. I went to a
party for my nephew a couple months back. Pizza better
now at Chuck e cheese. Good, good job, but they're animatronics.
It's what Hooters should have done. They should have improved
their food.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You said the like gronk there for a second pizza better?
You know these days pizza be Hooters. It is shocking
that you would think good looking women, tighter food. You know,
sports on like it had the business model and they
had money and they made money as if tacky yet unrefined.
My wife, they're silky pantyhose and those leg warmers they wore.
(04:37):
What are they gonna do with all those white puffy socks?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, I know my wife worked at Hooters when she
was in college and she actually won Miss Hooters International.
Your winner of the twelfth annual Miss Hooters International swim
Suit pageant is number one ten, Sarah from Texas. Can
(05:01):
you name the voice of the announcment? No, but I
think people will be like, her name is Hoots real name, yeah, Hooters,
Chris Rose. Chris Rose. And by the way, money gig.
I did that for like five years. It was the
they so they had money at one point because I
remember being like, what are you gonna pay? Maybe Chris
Rose is why they're going bankrupt. I remember he was
(05:22):
getting paid. I remember thinking, like, yo, they got money.
I was always on like Fox Sports or ESPN or
Spike TV. They would always televise that pageant. And guess
why I got replaced by I did it five years
and around they're like, sorry, we're going with someone else,
Arsenio Hall. Guys, I don't have a dog pound. I
(05:42):
guess I lose this.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
One would have at least got replaced by Steve Harvey, at.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Least by Randa Watson. So bump to see Hooters go
before we go to all the feedback. I'm gonna throw
one out there. I won't be like I was Sam
in List ten. I'm kidding, Sam, Yeah, leave some pizza
for the rest of us. Sam kidding, buddy. If you're
a home owned or you remember buying stuff for your
apartment after college and you were like trying to be
a big boy, there's a couple bed Beth and Beyond.
(06:09):
You would have those coupons that were like twenty percent off,
and you'd always have one like that. Your mom would
leave your apartment for you. I can't believe that they
don't exist anymore. Bed Beth and Beyond Dode, and I'm
gonna throw out another name. You might even forget David existed.
Remember Linens and things?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I remember Linen, Well, all.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Those like home stores that you would go to buy
all the stuff you needed for your college dorm or
you know, you're a new apartment. Yeah, I got my
first big boy apartment. Let me go buy Beth towels
and a toothpaste a toothbrush holder at Linensen. Before we
go to the phones, though, Rich again eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich, let's take
(06:47):
some accountability and say, yeah, we could miss these places
all we want, but we're to blame here because if
oar lazy asses weren't going to Amazon, which changed everything,
a lot of these places would still be here. You know,
you know, we got to say that where the problem.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
That's partially true, but it's also about money management and
how you make ye.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Me, Hi, I'm the problem. It's Steve. I'm not going
to circuit city, dude, I'm buying it online.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
But they have to respond to that though. They have
to like be like, okay, we're just to put your line.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But you know, businesses could have pivoted, but Amazon wiped
out so many and again. Our new habits, in our
new way of world of the world is what wiped
a lot of these places. I know it's not a store,
but I thought this way when remember when they made
the announcement a couple of years back, like we're going
to discontinue Twinkies, And everyone was like, what do you mean?
(07:37):
You can't discontinue Twinkies? And I remember asking everyone, well,
when was the last time you had a Twinkie? And
everyone's answer was like, oh no, no, decade or sell
you go. You can't expect of this stick around if
you're not going there or consuming the product. Let's start
with you, guys, and Danny I was saying, I want
everyone to think of some more josh. You started off
(07:58):
in Ohio. Those discn continued, Uh, those stores that shut down?
What do you got hey?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Happy Thursday, guys. So, as a four year old in
the late eighties and Dayton, Ohio, there was no bigger
thrill than walking into a children's palace and it seemed
like the toys were from the floor to the ceiling.
My older brother got his first Cobra Commander there. I
don't know if you guys had that where you lived
(08:25):
but I believe it in turn became Toys r Us
later on.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, not only Toys r Us and the one you
mentioned Children's Palace. I remember Toys r Us lives in
like in a Kiosk form. It doesn't even really exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Pop ups.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
They're trying to make a comeback. But I mean, who
would have thought Toys on Russ would be gone? I
remember my mom waiting early in the mornings, as a
great mom did in the eighties or nineties, to try
to get me a Nintendo game for my birthday or
something at KB Toys.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, yeah, it'll be a kid popular in the mall
or not that chuck you cheeze. And you know also
in them all Orange Julius was still in Burbank, by
the way, And one last thing about Burbank, California. They
opened up a Toys r Us a big store. It
used to be a kmart. Everybody was so excited as
(09:14):
they were putting the storefront up. Turns out it was
for a movie they were filming.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
No way, really, damn it, we can't go in. Oh
that's sad, dude, all right, don't want to steal all
the pizza. Who's next? Tom in Florida, Tom what store
shut down?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
What's Up in bro was the place that we said
it wasn't because we didn't go. We were every Friday
and Saturday night till late night. I miss Bennigans. Minigans
was on point in the ninety.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I gotta say this, but can you know work? I
worked there forever before. That was my last job before radio.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
They sent Covino to college.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I can't tell you how many Turkyo tools I served,
how many samplers the health Club chicken platter for the
wind Dude, they're nachos, they're honey mustard. Their sampler was fantastic.
I loved working there. I had a great experience there.
I miss it as well because they had a great
bar with over one hundred beers on tap and dude,
it was a scene. I loved it. It was that
(10:11):
that Bennigan's, Friday's, Chili's, Applebee's scene. It was that level
of restaurant and uh Chi's on the walls. We talked
about this briefly when they announced what earlier last year
that they're going to reopen one Chee Cheese, Yes and listen,
I think some of these may come back in one
(10:34):
off pop up type of situations because then nostalgia general,
the nostalgia generation people want that Monte Cristo. Yeah, they
thirst for it. So I wouldn't be shocked if they're like, hey,
we're gonna do a ben against pop up in a
few big cities. I used to love that. And and
if you guys don't know the reference, if you guys
remember the movie Waiting with Dane Cook and Ryan Reynolds.
They worked at a place called Shenanigans and it was
(10:56):
a parody on Bennigans. Let's go to Trip. What a
great guy in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Hey Trip, Hey guy, it's always great to hear to
speak with y'all. Heybody, Danny g took the one. I
was gonna say, owns Julius, but a couple more would
be sharp. We're images online. But radio Shock used to
be fun in the mall when you were a hit
because during Christmas you could go play with all the
electric cars. Yeah, like they would let you run them
all over the mall.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
If you needed a wire or a remote control car. Yeah,
the radio shack was your spot. That's a good one.
Trip And you know what, Kevino and I worked at
Serious XM in the early days of satellite radio and
Radio Shack was the one place that had like the
early satellite radio right for the plug and plays or
whatever you needed, any component.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
When we were little kids, they had the free battery cards.
You'd go in and get a free battery and they
would cut a little hole out of the card.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I saw a story about Radio Shack doesn't like Nick
Cannon on them. I think they might be like one
or two's own. Somebody owns it, wants to bring it back.
There's only a couple left. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna
look that up right now. But I mean that was
the spot if you needed anything, Let's go to mars
Well in Los Angeles. You're all with Covin on retch.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
What's up, Bud, I don't know yet, but not a restaurant,
but a blockbuster definitely going there on Friday and Saturdays
on the weekend when you're getting out of school with
your parents.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You know you're you're so right on, Marcel. It's an
obvious answer that no one said yet. So thank you,
my friend, Blockbuster, Hollywood Video. Whatever your spot was, I
wonder if we glorify it because the reality is you
love sitting on your lazy ass just going through our
Hulu Netflix. It wasn't even that chbox. It was the
experience of it going there four plus Yeah, the new releases.
(12:37):
You would go that. You would rent the video game
for the kid in your family just to keep them
out of your hair so you could squeeze some cheeks
watching a movie with whoever you were with. Like if
your girlfriend had a little brother, you got him a
video game. Get him out of your hair, Get him
out of yeah, get him out of your face.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It was like the ramp up to a great night.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, that was it. You'd see some local people that
you knew there, Hey what's up John.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
They'd sell candy and microwave popcorn at the at the
counts you get a sour Jacks price.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They had that same smell when you walked in you
know what.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
In the Blockbuster documentary they described that smell. It was
a combination of wet carpet from like just so many
people walking through with like soppy sneakers, combined with plastic
from all the the cases, and popcorn. So it was popcorn,
dirty carpet, and plastic and it had a specific smell.
(13:27):
But Blockbuster video. I'm telling you the ultimate four play.
If you were a teenager or a college kid, Let's
go pick out a movie. You and your girl would
hold hands, start at the a's week, work you way
to disease new releases and you're right, Cavino. I always
remember they had sour Jacks instead of sour Patch kids.
I always wanted to rent Blackula and I never I
never did. I remember always wanted to rent barbed wire
(13:50):
with pam me too. Yeah, by the way, I looked
it up for trip. Nick Cannon was named the CEO
for Radio Shack in twenty twenty.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I thinks that an honorary title. Yeah, I don't know.
He's busy with thirty five kids, so I don't know
how that worked out. Maybe maybe they'll stay business. If
he buys them all the remote control car he can
just employ them at all those Seriously, they can be
all these employees. These are stores that we miss doors
based on the Hooters and Swan's News stores.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Who do we got?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Uh? Let's say how to Todd in Michigan. Hi, Todd,
Todd's the coolest.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
You're doing today?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Anybody that was a big, big, big.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Because the green Onion scandals.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, No, Todd's underwater. I'll see if I can get
a better connection, Todd. All I heard was green onion scandals.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What God needs to go to? Uh the cell phone store?
A new cell phone because they don't. He needs to
got a singular wireless? Yeah, what's up there?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But I got eighteen here that I would like to
run down.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
More than Merrier Dan. It's not taking a given. I
know he got full.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Calls, but I want to give these eighteen restaurants that
I miss, and it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Has a whole list. I'm ready. Dad's gonna give his
top ten a number. A.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
W has revitalized themselves in a different way. Sonic has
taken over the drive in, But the A and W
drive in was a big deal when I grew up,
the frosty mugs being taken out to your car as
you wait. I know Sonic does it now, and A
and W is still thriving, just in a different fashion,
But there was something about the A and W drive in.
(15:27):
In fact, the building that ours in my hometown, it
hasn't been open for forty years, still has the same
building and the same awning where you would park in
place your order in that speaker.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Totally remember the A and W, and you made me
think of something else, dB, And I don't think anyone's
gonna say it, so I'm not taking anyone's answer. But
when we do those graduate hotel appearances, a lot of them,
they just take over other hotels and the rebrand them.
And one of them we went to was an old
Howard Johnson's hotel that.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Was sixteen on my list.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, that was I was gonna say, Howard Johnson, Yes, Joe,
and I'm not talking the New York Rich's favorite New
York Met I'm talking the hotel. But we would go
there for breakfast. He was a thirty thirty guy, by
the way. He was, yeah, and a sweet mustache. But
Howard Johnson's we would go there, not to spend the
night or anything. We would go there as a family
for breakfast all the time. By the way, can you
(16:17):
imagine as a little kid, how confused I was thinking
that Howard Johnson was my New York Mets. But there
was also hotels and like, is it him? Wait again?
A breakfast spot? No joke, you know, before we go
to I'll take everyone's answer. East Coast. After every school play,
concert or a Little League game that was of importance.
(16:41):
They may remain in a small way, but does anyone
on the West Coast have you guys heard of Friendlies?
You'd go for a fribble? Yeah, after a big school event.
They had ice cream. It was a like a diner,
but they also had ice cream and milkshakes, and you know,
like it was a major chain on the East coast
for sure, you would. It was the quintessential. Oh, you
(17:02):
had your school concert or the playoff game in Little League,
afterwards everyone went to.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Friendly Like we went to Tcby that was.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That, But this place had food too. Ccby was the
country's best yogurt, and I remember being like, who wants
frozen yogurt? But they are also very few and far between.
TCB wise and one more and then uh, we'll go
to the Phones, a very East Coast truck stop place.
They were in neighborhoods as well. They had a thick
(17:34):
fins bar and there was nothing better than Roy Rogers.
I used to love they had, specifically their nuggets and
their sweet and great fried chips. Do you guys have
Roy Rodgers here in l a party? Like? There? Uh?
Over a lot of those good dude, and they used
to have a sweet bacon berger.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Did Roy Rodgers have curly fries? Or my confusing that
with the Rby's. I think your Arby's did, But right,
I remember only going to Roy Rogers when I'd be
on like a road trip and we'd stop there.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, the big truck stop type of place. All right,
let's start at the top and we'll go rapid fire
Mike and Florida Hooters and Joe Anne's the latest to
be gone. What do you got?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
I got two?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Hey? What your weigh? At South Florida ground Round was
a nightmare for any chubby kid grown, Mike, try to
tell us the second one again.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I want to do city in South Florida Sunrise.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't think I knew that one, but ground Round,
that Cavino is not joking, a nightmare for chubby kids. Parents.
If you ate, if you bought an entre, your kids
paid what they weigh. So if you eighth eighty five
pounds of a little kid, five cents. So the whole
joke was like, don't bring your favor But that was
(18:53):
the spot for sure.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
As Slider Sundays. Yeah, I have so many of those
little baseball helmets left over.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You know what fascinated me as a kid, so I
know I can't be alone. Remember the first time you
were allowed to do soft serve by yourself. Places like
that would have the ability as a kid you could
pull the lever, yeah and do your own soft serve. No,
I remember that aglorious, but it made me think of
two again. I'm from New Jersey, so Route twenty two,
New Jersey. You go up. Our guy that mentioned Bennigans
(19:21):
before the parent company also owned Steak and Ale and
that was the higher end version. Oh, that does not
exist as far as I know. I used to love
that place. Demetrius in Tulsa, what's up Tulsa King?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Well, three things. One, an old franchise, Arthur Treachers kind
of was part of that Fish and Chips stace that
was going on for a while. Second of all, Howard
Johnson's not only did hotels, but they also did restaurants.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
And we have we have a turnpike between Tulsa, Oklahoma
City and the Midway at Howard Johnson's was always open
twenty four hours, so if we were going between the two,
we could stop there. And Third, somebody that had to
be really old to remin remember this. But Sears and
I think Montgomery Ward had a house. You could buy
a house kit and build it.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's insane, Sears and Roebuck. Originally you can do that
at Costco. You can get like sheds and stuff. The
LV in Vegas, what's up? LV?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I got two for you love your show?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Thanks?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Uh, little League of Shakey's Pizza after the game. And
then who did not go to a Towers record in
the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Tower Ower, Virgin Sam Goodie, Coconuts Tower?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh got Tower Records? Was that? And what was the
name of the other one? You? What?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What did you guys? Mostly Sam Goodie? Okay, you had
Sam Goode?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Rgeon?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh man, did you.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Have did you have Nobody Beats the Whiz?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
No? We didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You guys have Amba records out here?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Oh we had Warehouse Music.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Warehouse music.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's what the one I was thinking about, Danny, You.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Know the as I love when you always say the youngsters,
the youngsters today, they don't know that thrill of you
had a weight at a record store or a video
store to get concert tickets.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That and also when there would be a big music released,
like I remember when Snoop Dogg's first solo album came out,
there was a line outside the Warehouse music store. You
waited in line for hours to get that new CD.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That's where I'm always so torn with music and entertainment, podcasts.
We have everything at our fingertips. Does it make us
lazy or is it convenient? I just can't ever put
my finger on if I'm glorifying the past. Like if
I wanted to listen to music, you got to go
buy a CD or a record to go, you know,
to listen to a radio show, you had to listen live.
(21:37):
There was no podcasting and movies and everything. You'd have
to go to a video store. Now everything's just everything's
on your phone. Hey, awesome or not? I don't know
it is. But again, you know, you lose a lot
as a result, And that's what we're going over and
we're probably moving in a better direction, but it is
kind of sad to see these things go away. Speaking
of music, I'm pretty certain that sam Ash closed down
(22:02):
their last store, Guitar Center still remains sam Ash Gone.
So if you want to buy a trumpet, not getting
it Sam It's really funny who asked that, because when
you said Sam that'sh My only thought was I think
that's why my grandparents bought me my saxophone, no doubt. Yeah, Sam, Hey,
if you need to buy some reeds or a pair
of drumsticks, sam Ash was your spot. Yeah that that
(22:23):
doesn't exist as far as I know. Again, certain brands
here and there online. Maybe look Rich and I we worked.
Our first show together was on Maxim Radio. I mean
magazines barely exist. Yeah, it's true. Three more quickies. We'll
go rapid fire with John and Illinois. What's up, budd?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Hey, guys love the show, Thank you? Heya.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Most of the might have been taken by two quick things.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
If you want your orange Julius, Dairy Queen.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Has it now, they own it.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I wanted to way around.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
We saw thousands of.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Pages for that stuff, Trulius. That's cool though, I didn't
know Dairy Queen own that.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
And secondly, you notice on the socks that booters.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Who's looking at the socks? Yeah, I didn't even know
they had feet. Wait, they wait to have you have
anything below the knee?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Just kidding? No, I'm not Josh in Pennsylvania. What's up, Josh?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Damn you guys, killed my store idea. I was going
to say the wall in Pennsylvania. You just go down
to the mall, and I feel like it was like Thursday.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It was a certain day of the week.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I think it was Thursday when you know your favorite
rock band was dropping their new album, and you'd be
so exciting hopping in the car, you know, skipping school
heading down to the mall. You'd have the headphones that
you could pop on so you know, hear the different
tracks you'd played like thirty seconds of the song and
test it out before you buy the set.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I'm so convinced, and I know it's self serving. I'm
so convinced we had the best childhood if you're roughly
forty ishes. I feel like my daughter watches you know,
like Stranger Things, your throwbacks, and she swears that we
had at the best. I'm like, yeah, I think we did.
I'm convinced life now is better and more convenient. But
I feel like if you grew up in the eighties
and nineties, we grew up in a very special, more
of a magical time. Yeah, Dwight, wrap it. We're running late,
(24:11):
but a lot of fun talking to you guys. What's
up Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
All right, I just.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Heard you guys say y'all want to be at forties.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
So I'm going will take you way back twenty more years.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Okay, you guys remember George Will's restaurant.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
And then I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It used to be a woo Woolworths cold. I mean
it was kind of like a Walmart of course.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh yes, woolworth There was an East Coast place called Caldoor.
I don't know if that made it out of Camart.
Woolworth's for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Gramma used to tell stories about eating at Woolworth's Bradley's.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Two guys, but you know what I do want to
just plant one more thought before we move on, because
this stuff we didn't even talk about. But mall stores
like like obviously structure's gone, but I didn't be working
a place press. It became Men's Express. Now now it's
Panda Express there. Yeah, now, so they saw a panda
close now. I used to work at a mall store
(25:01):
called the Garage, and it's not what you see now garage.
There are some stories called garage. I used to work
an immense clothing store called the Garage, and they sold
like Levi's and uh boss sweatshirts and things like Big
Johnson T shirts and all that. But if you remember,
there was a whole chain of Merry Go Round, Chess King,
a Tvo, all these stupid stores that don't exist anymore
(25:24):
at the mall. Well, hey, speaking of clothes, what do
you got a rock nowadays? By the way, we'll take
the rest of your feedback and we'll get into some
Travis Kelsey and NFL next. But how about Travis Matthew.

I'm here for the Snoop Dogg album. Now, back then,
he's like, I'm here for the studio. It was a
little lower, The voice was a down I'm here for
the Snoop dog Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Voice already sounded like this in fifth grade.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, that was him in fifth grade. He had a
beard and everything. He's wearing a do rag. You had
a beard I'm here for snoop now to wrap it
up again, Hooters and Joanne's going out of business. Other
stores we miss it is Fox Sports Radio, Covino, Enrich Life,
Tyreck dot Com Studio, Hooters, Yum. We gotta say that.
(27:36):
I mean, even in the world of sporting goods, we've
seen them all come and go. Dix is the go to,
I guess Big Five out here in LA. But growing
up Hermons we are sports Herman's sports authority. Gotta go
to Moo's mode, go to MODD Clothes. Did you guys
(27:57):
have played against sports?
Speaker 9 (27:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But I still an.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I feel like they are so good for people on
a budget because.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Sporting good stores. I could spend hours just walking around
a sporting good store. Oh, look at these batting gloves,
Look at these badminton rid soccer ball around. You could,
if you're a grown man or a woman, you could
kill two hours in a sporting good store Big one.
But they're just not what they were. And you know,
the sad reality is some of these smaller ones, like
(28:26):
out here in Los Angeles we have Big Five.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, they were always too small.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Danny, I went there to get my kids some sporting
goods for baseball and softball and the like, we don't
have this in that size, and I talk to my
wife and I go they're pushing us to order on
Amazon because we go there to try to support the
sporting good store and they're like, oh, we don't have
small batting gloves. Oh you need this in a size one.
Kid's like, yeah, we don't have it. It's like, if
you don't have these things, what is your first instinct y'all?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Babe?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Do they have it on Amazon? And then you become
that person And that's how these stores go away exactly exactly.
So it's sad, but again, gotta move forward. If you
want to chime in with other ones that you remember,
or you want to give a shout out to and
recognize stories you miss, hit us at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. All right, Travis kelcey, let's let's
(29:16):
touch on this guy for a second. WHA hold up?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You touch on him?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Travis kelce Not done. And then you got to ask yourself,
not everyone gets to choose to go out on top.
Not everyone's John Lway. Not everyone is. Uh, I'll be honest,
I'm trying to think who else Michael Jordan after the
second three pep but then he came back as a wizard.
Wentworth I mean, uh, Jason Whitworth, jg Andrew, Yeah, Andrew Whitworth.
(29:45):
Very few guys you could say when you look at
what guy won a super Bowl Jerome Bettis, I remember
the bus winning a super Bowl in Detroit. They beat
the Seahawks. Sorry, Dan Byer and he Mayweather went out
on top, and he's in the news today because him
and Jake Paul or beefing publicly. But not many people
get to choose to go out on top. That's a rarity.
(30:08):
That's a special thing. So when Travis Kelsey said, yeah,
I'm not going out like that, I mean, short of
another super Bowl, you're gonna go out on a note
you don't want. It's really what it is. It's a
sad reality. Well hold on, I'm gonna quote him now.
I don't know if you saw it, but he did say,
we ain't going out like that. I'll cypercill style like that.
(30:32):
We ain't going out, he says, Scooby new y'all, Scooby, yeah,
send dog, Yeah, we ain't going out, he said. Losing
Super Bowl Licks, losing the super Bowl left a bad
taste in his mouth, so therefore he wants to go
at it run it back one more time, at least again.
(30:56):
Thirty five year old Travis Kelcey on The Pat McAfee
Show even TB twelve. Remember Tom Brady, Do you remember
how the story ended with.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
A very dispiriting loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the
first round of the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I believe, yeah, I mean, all right, so Tom Brady,
we all thought his first exit was going to be
on a pick to end the game. I believe against
like Jacksonville. Was it Jacksonville, Tennessee? Tennessee? It was against Tennessee,
like a team that really didn't go much further. And
it was like, man, that's how Tom's going to go out.
And then he comes back with the Bucks, wins the
(31:30):
Super Bowl, but then tries to run it back. And
he did have a comeback in that game. That's the
only saving grace is that he actually had a pretty
decent second half. But they just couldn't They just couldn't win.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
That Bucks offense, though, was so hard to watch his
final year. It was just and it wasn't really Brady's fault.
It was just I don't. It was just it was greo.
He was like watching it was offense. It was sad
because you knew it was the end. But it's not
like he sucked that season. The team just wasn't that and.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
The simple fact that he had won the year before
and it was almost like, wow, he really did it. Yeah,
but he also he beat freaking Patrick Mahomes. Remember the
path that he took to get there, and that was insane.
Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Mahomes like that was that was badass.
So again, it is unlikely to ever go out on top.
(32:17):
But even when you try, rich sometimes to take that
mental still image, even in your own life of like, yeah,
this is my last day at the office, you rarely remember.
You rarely remember it. You know, I'm thinking, no matter
what you do, do you guys remember the last time
you played an organized baseball game? Like did you strike out?
Did you ground out?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
What was your hurrah?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Did you hit a home run? Did you end it
like Derek Jeter? No, you would think you remember, right,
like if you played bat dude had a walk off,
you know, hit to end his career. If you feel
as though, if you feel like you cared so much
about sports as a kid. Isn't it shocking how you
probably don't remember your last at bat or your last
football I couldn't tell you if I. By the way,
(33:00):
Jeter's last home game was to walk off. Yeah, he
did get a hit in his last step bat on
the road. Remember it was like a weak infield dribbler
and was like look at that. He even hustled out
who Yeah, but he was always full of magical moments
there no doubt. Again, but professional athletes, they have the footage,
they have the moment, and they rarely go out on top,
so you gotta tip your hat when they do. So
(33:22):
for Kelsey to run it back, I mean he must
really have some regrets of how he played his last game,
because for them to run it back, they think they're
gonna win again. I find that hard to blad ambitious.
You know who would have been great at dealer no
deal or pressure luck, no emmy, no Emmi. Stop John Elway.
(33:42):
When John Elway finally won, he just remember when we
were kids. He lost to the Giants, he lost to
the Redskins, and he lost to the forty nine ers,
And you're like, man l Way zero and three in
the Super Bowl. But he's so cool. He won helicopter
diving too. The end Zone. Underdog beat the Packers, they
ran it back and they beat the Falcons, and I
remember thinking like, why is he That's why I feel
(34:04):
like Kershaw's pressing his luck. He could have went out
of champ Yeah, no, win again.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Let's go to damn Vin for an update, dB, what's
going on, buddy?
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Remember when Brady retired the first time, they thought that
the final touchdown pass would be the one that Mike
Evans threw into the stands.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yes, and so then that ball was the hot commodity.
Speaker 10 (34:23):
And then Brady unretires and then it's like, ah, too bad,
and so whoever bought it got the wrong end of
the deal. The Titans did win the next week, though,
Remember they beat the Ravens and then lost to the
Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. But anyway, speaking of
the Buccaneers, former Buccaneers at coach John Gruden will be
reinstated into the ring. The team's ring of honor once
(34:43):
again removed in twenty twenty one following a New York
Times article at the time that published Gruden's emails from
twenty ten where he used racist, homophobic, and misogynistic terms
in those emails with other NFL personnel. You guys mentioned
Chiefs said on Travis Kels, he confirmed he'll play in
twenty twenty five. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is not
(35:04):
working out in Indianapolis. Did speak with reporters today at
the combine, saying that he's telling teams he wants to
play both positions. NFL salary cap two hundred and seventy
nine point two million dollars for next season. That's the
highest ever. Spurs head coach Greg Popovich says he will
not return to coaching this season following a mild stroke
in the fall and the statement. Popovitch said he is
(35:24):
hoping he can return to coaching in the near future.
Nick center Mitchell Robinson could make his season debut tomorrow
against the Grizzlies, according to ESPN, as he's listed as questionable.
Jannison Teta Koopo will go for the Bucks tonight against
the Denver Nuggets, and Jake Knapp some history on the
PGA Tour, becoming the fifteenth player to shoot a sub
sixty round. His round of fifty nine puts him atop
(35:45):
the leaderboard at the Cognisant Classic at twelve under par guys.
Speaker 1 (35:48):

Be sure to check it out and vice versa again.
I'm Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis and Rich add
(36:55):
another thought. You know how, earlier in the show we
said that we always envisioned our grandparents living in the
black and white because all the footage and photos we saw, Yes,
we're in black and white. So with that thought, do
our kids think we lived in the blurry because all
of our footage and photos of the eighties and nineties
all blurry footage? Now do they think we lived in
(37:17):
the blurry? And the truth is yes, because that's what
your little son said. Yeah, I showed I showed him
a clip of the Mets in the eighties when I
was a little boy, and he's like, Dad, it's so blurry.
And by the way, Dan Buyer showed us a clip
we had never seen. I posted it at Rich Davis
at cavin on Rich and it's uh. When they made
the switch to the news being in color, Now you
(37:38):
know why I was never told the story though. This
is the revelation. I just had my brain right now.
I've never seen that clip, and it's really interesting. There
was a moment where we went from black and white
to color. It's probably because a lot of people didn't
have a color TV. So even though they did that,
Like from my mother's perspective, I never heard my mother
tell me the day it went color because he still
(38:00):
had a black and white television. If you had a
black and white TV, it didn't matter. Even though they
made the Wizard of Oz in color, it was always
it was always in black and white. Like maybe your grandparents,
they it didn't matter to them until they had a
color TV. So I imagine a lot of people didn't
even notice what happened visually because they still had black
and white televisions. Anyway, I digest remember in nineteen fifty five,
(38:25):
the mcflies they had a TV and they were remember
like having a TV. It was like, yeah, you have money,
Yeah I know, Yeah, I got two TVs. I got
some TV TV reruns. Live from thetiraq dot com studio.

over the best fictional coaches of all time. Our video
pod on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel in about

(01:04):
hyped about that. But later on this show, Travis Kelcey
will get to that, some NFL and more. But every
Thursday we get you involved eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
If you want to chime in on social media, we reminisced,
we throw it back, and we got some crappy news
(01:26):
that Hooters and theory was always great. I was never
a big Hooters guy, but in theory, No, it wasn't
really big on the East Coast. You grew up in Jersey.
I grew up in New York. It wasn't a big deal.
The rest of the count worked though once in a
while we would go, you know, we would go after work.
It was a good like meeting spot. But you would think,
like I said that that business model was in no fail.
(01:48):
They announced bankruptcy. Maybe it'll be saved, I don't know.
They also said Joe Wann's this week the arts and
crafts place going down. So a lot of the places
we grew up with are gone. Like, did you ever
think Sears would go away? I would have never once
Roebuck said, farewell, No, seriously, you know, and I mentioned
(02:08):
that just recently Rainforest Cafe, they're hanging on by a thread.
They just closed down one of the most iconic locations
in New Jersey, and there's one left in Atlantic City.
I'm sure there's a few here and there, but they're
hanging by a string, by a thread. That being said,
we ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation, let's go back
and reminisce on those national chains that we all remember
(02:29):
that are no longer here, stores that we miss. Do
you think you could buy one of those animatronic alligators
somewhere from Rainforest Cafe? Go for it, man. But speaking
of atatronics, I'll kick it off. Everybody remembers Chuck E Cheese.
It's still around, right, But before that, there was a
place and it was magical, and it was all over
the country, and I used to go there as a kid,
(02:52):
as an eighties kid, anytime there was arcades and pizza involved,
I wanted to go and at place this magical man
memory for me that I miss. And it's not that
I miss it because I missed my childhood and I
want to go back. But I wish I could have
shared these things with my kid, but they no longer exist. Really,
show Biz Pizza Place. Do you guys remember that? I well,
(03:13):
not that I went there before, turned to Chuck E Cheese.
Chuck E Cheese ended up buying it out. But their
animatronics were full body animatronics and the whole premise was
Billy Bob and Fatz and the Rock of Fire Explosion.
They were a band rich, so you were going there
to watch like a show and a performance, like they
were rocking out while you were eating pizza and then
running into the arcade. Yeah, dude, guys were love it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I your mom took us to the McDonald's playground. Yo.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, but theg You don't understand how I had to beg.
We had to beg our parents back then right now
we're such suckers with our kids. So I missed that.
I'll start off by saying show Biz Pizza Place. Missed
that place. I'll hit you up with one. The pizza
tasted just like the Chucky Cheese pizza though, and it
was not great pizza. I loved it as a kid.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
They've actually they've improved their pizza. I went to a
party for my nephew a couple months back. Pizza better
now at Chuck e cheese. Good, good job, but they're animatronics.
It's what Hooters should have done. They should have improved
their food.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You said the like gronk there for a second pizza better?
You know these days pizza be Hooters. It is shocking
that you would think good looking women, tighter food. You know,
sports on like it had the business model and they
had money and they made money as if tacky yet unrefined.
My wife, they're silky pantyhose and those leg warmers they wore.
(04:37):
What are they gonna do with all those white puffy socks?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, I know my wife worked at Hooters when she
was in college and she actually won Miss Hooters International.
Your winner of the twelfth annual Miss Hooters International swim
Suit pageant is number one ten, Sarah from Texas. Can
(05:01):
you name the voice of the announcment? No, but I
think people will be like, her name is Hoots real name, yeah, Hooters,
Chris Rose. Chris Rose. And by the way, money gig.
I did that for like five years. It was the
they so they had money at one point because I
remember being like, what are you gonna pay? Maybe Chris
Rose is why they're going bankrupt. I remember he was
(05:22):
getting paid. I remember thinking, like, yo, they got money.
I was always on like Fox Sports or ESPN or
Spike TV. They would always televise that pageant. And guess
why I got replaced by I did it five years
and around they're like, sorry, we're going with someone else,
Arsenio Hall. Guys, I don't have a dog pound. I
(05:42):
guess I lose this.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
One would have at least got replaced by Steve Harvey, at.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Least by Randa Watson. So bump to see Hooters go
before we go to all the feedback. I'm gonna throw
one out there. I won't be like I was Sam
in List ten. I'm kidding, Sam, Yeah, leave some pizza
for the rest of us. Sam kidding, buddy. If you're
a home owned or you remember buying stuff for your
apartment after college and you were like trying to be
a big boy, there's a couple bed Beth and Beyond.
(06:09):
You would have those coupons that were like twenty percent off,
and you'd always have one like that. Your mom would
leave your apartment for you. I can't believe that they
don't exist anymore. Bed Beth and Beyond Dode, and I'm
gonna throw out another name. You might even forget David existed.
Remember Linens and things?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I remember Linen, Well, all.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Those like home stores that you would go to buy
all the stuff you needed for your college dorm or
you know, you're a new apartment. Yeah, I got my
first big boy apartment. Let me go buy Beth towels
and a toothpaste a toothbrush holder at Linensen. Before we
go to the phones, though, Rich again eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich, let's take
(06:47):
some accountability and say, yeah, we could miss these places
all we want, but we're to blame here because if
oar lazy asses weren't going to Amazon, which changed everything,
a lot of these places would still be here. You know,
you know, we got to say that where the problem.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
That's partially true, but it's also about money management and
how you make ye.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Me, Hi, I'm the problem. It's Steve. I'm not going
to circuit city, dude, I'm buying it online.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
But they have to respond to that though. They have
to like be like, okay, we're just to put your line.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But you know, businesses could have pivoted, but Amazon wiped
out so many and again. Our new habits, in our
new way of world of the world is what wiped
a lot of these places. I know it's not a store,
but I thought this way when remember when they made
the announcement a couple of years back, like we're going
to discontinue Twinkies, And everyone was like, what do you mean?
(07:37):
You can't discontinue Twinkies? And I remember asking everyone, well,
when was the last time you had a Twinkie? And
everyone's answer was like, oh no, no, decade or sell
you go. You can't expect of this stick around if
you're not going there or consuming the product. Let's start
with you, guys, and Danny I was saying, I want
everyone to think of some more josh. You started off
(07:58):
in Ohio. Those discn continued, Uh, those stores that shut down?
What do you got hey?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Happy Thursday, guys. So, as a four year old in
the late eighties and Dayton, Ohio, there was no bigger
thrill than walking into a children's palace and it seemed
like the toys were from the floor to the ceiling.
My older brother got his first Cobra Commander there. I
don't know if you guys had that where you lived
(08:25):
but I believe it in turn became Toys r Us
later on.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, not only Toys r Us and the one you
mentioned Children's Palace. I remember Toys r Us lives in
like in a Kiosk form. It doesn't even really exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Pop ups.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
They're trying to make a comeback. But I mean, who
would have thought Toys on Russ would be gone? I
remember my mom waiting early in the mornings, as a
great mom did in the eighties or nineties, to try
to get me a Nintendo game for my birthday or
something at KB Toys.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, yeah, it'll be a kid popular in the mall
or not that chuck you cheeze. And you know also
in them all Orange Julius was still in Burbank, by
the way, And one last thing about Burbank, California. They
opened up a Toys r Us a big store. It
used to be a kmart. Everybody was so excited as
(09:14):
they were putting the storefront up. Turns out it was
for a movie they were filming.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
No way, really, damn it, we can't go in. Oh
that's sad, dude, all right, don't want to steal all
the pizza. Who's next? Tom in Florida, Tom what store
shut down?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
What's Up in bro was the place that we said
it wasn't because we didn't go. We were every Friday
and Saturday night till late night. I miss Bennigans. Minigans
was on point in the ninety.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I gotta say this, but can you know work? I
worked there forever before. That was my last job before radio.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
They sent Covino to college.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I can't tell you how many Turkyo tools I served,
how many samplers the health Club chicken platter for the
wind Dude, they're nachos, they're honey mustard. Their sampler was fantastic.
I loved working there. I had a great experience there.
I miss it as well because they had a great
bar with over one hundred beers on tap and dude,
it was a scene. I loved it. It was that
(10:11):
that Bennigan's, Friday's, Chili's, Applebee's scene. It was that level
of restaurant and uh Chi's on the walls. We talked
about this briefly when they announced what earlier last year
that they're going to reopen one Chee Cheese, Yes and listen,
I think some of these may come back in one
(10:34):
off pop up type of situations because then nostalgia general,
the nostalgia generation people want that Monte Cristo. Yeah, they
thirst for it. So I wouldn't be shocked if they're like, hey,
we're gonna do a ben against pop up in a
few big cities. I used to love that. And and
if you guys don't know the reference, if you guys
remember the movie Waiting with Dane Cook and Ryan Reynolds.
They worked at a place called Shenanigans and it was
(10:56):
a parody on Bennigans. Let's go to Trip. What a
great guy in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Hey Trip, Hey guy, it's always great to hear to
speak with y'all. Heybody, Danny g took the one. I
was gonna say, owns Julius, but a couple more would
be sharp. We're images online. But radio Shock used to
be fun in the mall when you were a hit
because during Christmas you could go play with all the
electric cars. Yeah, like they would let you run them
all over the mall.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
If you needed a wire or a remote control car. Yeah,
the radio shack was your spot. That's a good one.
Trip And you know what, Kevino and I worked at
Serious XM in the early days of satellite radio and
Radio Shack was the one place that had like the
early satellite radio right for the plug and plays or
whatever you needed, any component.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
When we were little kids, they had the free battery cards.
You'd go in and get a free battery and they
would cut a little hole out of the card.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I saw a story about Radio Shack doesn't like Nick
Cannon on them. I think they might be like one
or two's own. Somebody owns it, wants to bring it back.
There's only a couple left. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna
look that up right now. But I mean that was
the spot if you needed anything, Let's go to mars
Well in Los Angeles. You're all with Covin on retch.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
What's up, Bud, I don't know yet, but not a restaurant,
but a blockbuster definitely going there on Friday and Saturdays
on the weekend when you're getting out of school with
your parents.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You know you're you're so right on, Marcel. It's an
obvious answer that no one said yet. So thank you,
my friend, Blockbuster, Hollywood Video. Whatever your spot was, I
wonder if we glorify it because the reality is you
love sitting on your lazy ass just going through our
Hulu Netflix. It wasn't even that chbox. It was the
experience of it going there four plus Yeah, the new releases.
(12:37):
You would go that. You would rent the video game
for the kid in your family just to keep them
out of your hair so you could squeeze some cheeks
watching a movie with whoever you were with. Like if
your girlfriend had a little brother, you got him a
video game. Get him out of your hair, Get him
out of yeah, get him out of your face.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It was like the ramp up to a great night.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, that was it. You'd see some local people that
you knew there, Hey what's up John.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
They'd sell candy and microwave popcorn at the at the
counts you get a sour Jacks price.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They had that same smell when you walked in you
know what.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
In the Blockbuster documentary they described that smell. It was
a combination of wet carpet from like just so many
people walking through with like soppy sneakers, combined with plastic
from all the the cases, and popcorn. So it was popcorn,
dirty carpet, and plastic and it had a specific smell.
(13:27):
But Blockbuster video. I'm telling you the ultimate four play.
If you were a teenager or a college kid, Let's
go pick out a movie. You and your girl would
hold hands, start at the a's week, work you way
to disease new releases and you're right, Cavino. I always
remember they had sour Jacks instead of sour Patch kids.
I always wanted to rent Blackula and I never I
never did. I remember always wanted to rent barbed wire
(13:50):
with pam me too. Yeah, by the way, I looked
it up for trip. Nick Cannon was named the CEO
for Radio Shack in twenty twenty.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I thinks that an honorary title. Yeah, I don't know.
He's busy with thirty five kids, so I don't know
how that worked out. Maybe maybe they'll stay business. If
he buys them all the remote control car he can
just employ them at all those Seriously, they can be
all these employees. These are stores that we miss doors
based on the Hooters and Swan's News stores.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Who do we got?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Uh? Let's say how to Todd in Michigan. Hi, Todd,
Todd's the coolest.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
You're doing today?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Anybody that was a big, big, big.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Because the green Onion scandals.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, No, Todd's underwater. I'll see if I can get
a better connection, Todd. All I heard was green onion scandals.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What God needs to go to? Uh the cell phone store?
A new cell phone because they don't. He needs to
got a singular wireless? Yeah, what's up there?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But I got eighteen here that I would like to
run down.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
More than Merrier Dan. It's not taking a given. I
know he got full.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Calls, but I want to give these eighteen restaurants that
I miss, and it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Has a whole list. I'm ready. Dad's gonna give his
top ten a number. A.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
W has revitalized themselves in a different way. Sonic has
taken over the drive in, But the A and W
drive in was a big deal when I grew up,
the frosty mugs being taken out to your car as
you wait. I know Sonic does it now, and A
and W is still thriving, just in a different fashion,
But there was something about the A and W drive in.
(15:27):
In fact, the building that ours in my hometown, it
hasn't been open for forty years, still has the same
building and the same awning where you would park in
place your order in that speaker.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Totally remember the A and W, and you made me
think of something else, dB, And I don't think anyone's
gonna say it, so I'm not taking anyone's answer. But
when we do those graduate hotel appearances, a lot of them,
they just take over other hotels and the rebrand them.
And one of them we went to was an old
Howard Johnson's hotel that.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Was sixteen on my list.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, that was I was gonna say, Howard Johnson, Yes, Joe,
and I'm not talking the New York Rich's favorite New
York Met I'm talking the hotel. But we would go
there for breakfast. He was a thirty thirty guy, by
the way. He was, yeah, and a sweet mustache. But
Howard Johnson's we would go there, not to spend the
night or anything. We would go there as a family
for breakfast all the time. By the way, can you
(16:17):
imagine as a little kid, how confused I was thinking
that Howard Johnson was my New York Mets. But there
was also hotels and like, is it him? Wait again?
A breakfast spot? No joke, you know, before we go
to I'll take everyone's answer. East Coast. After every school play,
concert or a Little League game that was of importance.
(16:41):
They may remain in a small way, but does anyone
on the West Coast have you guys heard of Friendlies?
You'd go for a fribble? Yeah, after a big school event.
They had ice cream. It was a like a diner,
but they also had ice cream and milkshakes, and you know,
like it was a major chain on the East coast
for sure, you would. It was the quintessential. Oh, you
(17:02):
had your school concert or the playoff game in Little League,
afterwards everyone went to.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Friendly Like we went to Tcby that was.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That, But this place had food too. Ccby was the
country's best yogurt, and I remember being like, who wants
frozen yogurt? But they are also very few and far between.
TCB wise and one more and then uh, we'll go
to the Phones, a very East Coast truck stop place.
They were in neighborhoods as well. They had a thick
(17:34):
fins bar and there was nothing better than Roy Rogers.
I used to love they had, specifically their nuggets and
their sweet and great fried chips. Do you guys have
Roy Rodgers here in l a party? Like? There? Uh?
Over a lot of those good dude, and they used
to have a sweet bacon berger.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Did Roy Rodgers have curly fries? Or my confusing that
with the Rby's. I think your Arby's did, But right,
I remember only going to Roy Rogers when I'd be
on like a road trip and we'd stop there.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, the big truck stop type of place. All right,
let's start at the top and we'll go rapid fire
Mike and Florida Hooters and Joe Anne's the latest to
be gone. What do you got?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
I got two?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Hey? What your weigh? At South Florida ground Round was
a nightmare for any chubby kid grown, Mike, try to
tell us the second one again.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I want to do city in South Florida Sunrise.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't think I knew that one, but ground Round,
that Cavino is not joking, a nightmare for chubby kids. Parents.
If you ate, if you bought an entre, your kids
paid what they weigh. So if you eighth eighty five
pounds of a little kid, five cents. So the whole
joke was like, don't bring your favor But that was
(18:53):
the spot for sure.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
As Slider Sundays. Yeah, I have so many of those
little baseball helmets left over.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You know what fascinated me as a kid, so I
know I can't be alone. Remember the first time you
were allowed to do soft serve by yourself. Places like
that would have the ability as a kid you could
pull the lever, yeah and do your own soft serve. No,
I remember that aglorious, but it made me think of
two again. I'm from New Jersey, so Route twenty two,
New Jersey. You go up. Our guy that mentioned Bennigans
(19:21):
before the parent company also owned Steak and Ale and
that was the higher end version. Oh, that does not
exist as far as I know. I used to love
that place. Demetrius in Tulsa, what's up Tulsa King?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Well, three things. One, an old franchise, Arthur Treachers kind
of was part of that Fish and Chips stace that
was going on for a while. Second of all, Howard
Johnson's not only did hotels, but they also did restaurants.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
And we have we have a turnpike between Tulsa, Oklahoma
City and the Midway at Howard Johnson's was always open
twenty four hours, so if we were going between the two,
we could stop there. And Third, somebody that had to
be really old to remin remember this. But Sears and
I think Montgomery Ward had a house. You could buy
a house kit and build it.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's insane, Sears and Roebuck. Originally you can do that
at Costco. You can get like sheds and stuff. The
LV in Vegas, what's up? LV?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I got two for you love your show?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Thanks?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Uh, little League of Shakey's Pizza after the game. And
then who did not go to a Towers record in
the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Tower Ower, Virgin Sam Goodie, Coconuts Tower?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh got Tower Records? Was that? And what was the
name of the other one? You? What?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What did you guys? Mostly Sam Goodie? Okay, you had
Sam Goode?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Rgeon?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh man, did you.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Have did you have Nobody Beats the Whiz?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
No? We didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You guys have Amba records out here?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Oh we had Warehouse Music.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Warehouse music.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's what the one I was thinking about, Danny, You.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Know the as I love when you always say the youngsters,
the youngsters today, they don't know that thrill of you
had a weight at a record store or a video
store to get concert tickets.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That and also when there would be a big music released,
like I remember when Snoop Dogg's first solo album came out,
there was a line outside the Warehouse music store. You
waited in line for hours to get that new CD.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That's where I'm always so torn with music and entertainment, podcasts.
We have everything at our fingertips. Does it make us
lazy or is it convenient? I just can't ever put
my finger on if I'm glorifying the past. Like if
I wanted to listen to music, you got to go
buy a CD or a record to go, you know,
to listen to a radio show, you had to listen live.
(21:37):
There was no podcasting and movies and everything. You'd have
to go to a video store. Now everything's just everything's
on your phone. Hey, awesome or not? I don't know
it is. But again, you know, you lose a lot
as a result, And that's what we're going over and
we're probably moving in a better direction, but it is
kind of sad to see these things go away. Speaking
of music, I'm pretty certain that sam Ash closed down
(22:02):
their last store, Guitar Center still remains sam Ash Gone.
So if you want to buy a trumpet, not getting
it Sam It's really funny who asked that, because when
you said Sam that'sh My only thought was I think
that's why my grandparents bought me my saxophone, no doubt. Yeah, Sam, Hey,
if you need to buy some reeds or a pair
of drumsticks, sam Ash was your spot. Yeah that that
(22:23):
doesn't exist as far as I know. Again, certain brands
here and there online. Maybe look Rich and I we worked.
Our first show together was on Maxim Radio. I mean
magazines barely exist. Yeah, it's true. Three more quickies. We'll
go rapid fire with John and Illinois. What's up, budd?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Hey, guys love the show, Thank you? Heya.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Most of the might have been taken by two quick things.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
If you want your orange Julius, Dairy Queen.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Has it now, they own it.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I wanted to way around.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
We saw thousands of.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Pages for that stuff, Trulius. That's cool though, I didn't
know Dairy Queen own that.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
And secondly, you notice on the socks that booters.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Who's looking at the socks? Yeah, I didn't even know
they had feet. Wait, they wait to have you have
anything below the knee?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Just kidding? No, I'm not Josh in Pennsylvania. What's up, Josh?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Damn you guys, killed my store idea. I was going
to say the wall in Pennsylvania. You just go down
to the mall, and I feel like it was like Thursday.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It was a certain day of the week.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I think it was Thursday when you know your favorite
rock band was dropping their new album, and you'd be
so exciting hopping in the car, you know, skipping school
heading down to the mall. You'd have the headphones that
you could pop on so you know, hear the different
tracks you'd played like thirty seconds of the song and
test it out before you buy the set.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I'm so convinced, and I know it's self serving. I'm
so convinced we had the best childhood if you're roughly
forty ishes. I feel like my daughter watches you know,
like Stranger Things, your throwbacks, and she swears that we
had at the best. I'm like, yeah, I think we did.
I'm convinced life now is better and more convenient. But
I feel like if you grew up in the eighties
and nineties, we grew up in a very special, more
of a magical time. Yeah, Dwight, wrap it. We're running late,
(24:11):
but a lot of fun talking to you guys. What's
up Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
All right, I just.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Heard you guys say y'all want to be at forties.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
So I'm going will take you way back twenty more years.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Okay, you guys remember George Will's restaurant.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
And then I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It used to be a woo Woolworths cold. I mean
it was kind of like a Walmart of course.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh yes, woolworth There was an East Coast place called Caldoor.
I don't know if that made it out of Camart.
Woolworth's for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Gramma used to tell stories about eating at Woolworth's Bradley's.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Two guys, but you know what I do want to
just plant one more thought before we move on, because
this stuff we didn't even talk about. But mall stores
like like obviously structure's gone, but I didn't be working
a place press. It became Men's Express. Now now it's
Panda Express there. Yeah, now, so they saw a panda
close now. I used to work at a mall store
(25:01):
called the Garage, and it's not what you see now garage.
There are some stories called garage. I used to work
an immense clothing store called the Garage, and they sold
like Levi's and uh boss sweatshirts and things like Big
Johnson T shirts and all that. But if you remember,
there was a whole chain of Merry Go Round, Chess King,
a Tvo, all these stupid stores that don't exist anymore
(25:24):
at the mall. Well, hey, speaking of clothes, what do
you got a rock nowadays? By the way, we'll take
the rest of your feedback and we'll get into some
Travis Kelsey and NFL next. But how about Travis Matthew.

stores we miss it is Fox Sports Radio, Covino, Enrich Life,
Tyreck dot Com Studio, Hooters, Yum. We gotta say that.
(27:36):
I mean, even in the world of sporting goods, we've
seen them all come and go. Dix is the go to,
I guess Big Five out here in LA. But growing
up Hermons we are sports Herman's sports authority. Gotta go
to Moo's mode, go to MODD Clothes. Did you guys
(27:57):
have played against sports?
Speaker 9 (27:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But I still an.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I feel like they are so good for people on
a budget because.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Sporting good stores. I could spend hours just walking around
a sporting good store. Oh, look at these batting gloves,
Look at these badminton rid soccer ball around. You could,
if you're a grown man or a woman, you could
kill two hours in a sporting good store Big one.
But they're just not what they were. And you know,
the sad reality is some of these smaller ones, like
(28:26):
out here in Los Angeles we have Big Five.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, they were always too small.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Danny, I went there to get my kids some sporting
goods for baseball and softball and the like, we don't
have this in that size, and I talk to my
wife and I go they're pushing us to order on
Amazon because we go there to try to support the
sporting good store and they're like, oh, we don't have
small batting gloves. Oh you need this in a size one.
Kid's like, yeah, we don't have it. It's like, if
you don't have these things, what is your first instinct y'all?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Babe?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Do they have it on Amazon? And then you become
that person And that's how these stores go away exactly exactly.
So it's sad, but again, gotta move forward. If you
want to chime in with other ones that you remember,
or you want to give a shout out to and
recognize stories you miss, hit us at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. All right, Travis kelcey, let's let's
(29:16):
touch on this guy for a second. WHA hold up?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You touch on him?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Travis kelce Not done. And then you got to ask yourself,
not everyone gets to choose to go out on top.
Not everyone's John Lway. Not everyone is. Uh, I'll be honest,
I'm trying to think who else Michael Jordan after the
second three pep but then he came back as a wizard.
Wentworth I mean, uh, Jason Whitworth, jg Andrew, Yeah, Andrew Whitworth.
(29:45):
Very few guys you could say when you look at
what guy won a super Bowl Jerome Bettis, I remember
the bus winning a super Bowl in Detroit. They beat
the Seahawks. Sorry, Dan Byer and he Mayweather went out
on top, and he's in the news today because him
and Jake Paul or beefing publicly. But not many people
get to choose to go out on top. That's a rarity.
(30:08):
That's a special thing. So when Travis Kelsey said, yeah,
I'm not going out like that, I mean, short of
another super Bowl, you're gonna go out on a note
you don't want. It's really what it is. It's a
sad reality. Well hold on, I'm gonna quote him now.
I don't know if you saw it, but he did say,
we ain't going out like that. I'll cypercill style like that.
(30:32):
We ain't going out, he says, Scooby new y'all, Scooby, yeah,
send dog, Yeah, we ain't going out, he said. Losing
Super Bowl Licks, losing the super Bowl left a bad
taste in his mouth, so therefore he wants to go
at it run it back one more time, at least again.
(30:56):
Thirty five year old Travis Kelcey on The Pat McAfee
Show even TB twelve. Remember Tom Brady, Do you remember
how the story ended with.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
A very dispiriting loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the
first round of the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I believe, yeah, I mean, all right, so Tom Brady,
we all thought his first exit was going to be
on a pick to end the game. I believe against
like Jacksonville. Was it Jacksonville, Tennessee? Tennessee? It was against Tennessee,
like a team that really didn't go much further. And
it was like, man, that's how Tom's going to go out.
And then he comes back with the Bucks, wins the
(31:30):
Super Bowl, but then tries to run it back. And
he did have a comeback in that game. That's the
only saving grace is that he actually had a pretty
decent second half. But they just couldn't They just couldn't win.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
That Bucks offense, though, was so hard to watch his
final year. It was just and it wasn't really Brady's fault.
It was just I don't. It was just it was greo.
He was like watching it was offense. It was sad
because you knew it was the end. But it's not
like he sucked that season. The team just wasn't that and.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
The simple fact that he had won the year before
and it was almost like, wow, he really did it. Yeah,
but he also he beat freaking Patrick Mahomes. Remember the
path that he took to get there, and that was insane.
Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Mahomes like that was that was badass.
So again, it is unlikely to ever go out on top.
(32:17):
But even when you try, rich sometimes to take that
mental still image, even in your own life of like, yeah,
this is my last day at the office, you rarely remember.
You rarely remember it. You know, I'm thinking, no matter
what you do, do you guys remember the last time
you played an organized baseball game? Like did you strike out?
Did you ground out?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
What was your hurrah?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Did you hit a home run? Did you end it
like Derek Jeter? No, you would think you remember, right,
like if you played bat dude had a walk off,
you know, hit to end his career. If you feel
as though, if you feel like you cared so much
about sports as a kid. Isn't it shocking how you
probably don't remember your last at bat or your last
football I couldn't tell you if I. By the way,
(33:00):
Jeter's last home game was to walk off. Yeah, he
did get a hit in his last step bat on
the road. Remember it was like a weak infield dribbler
and was like look at that. He even hustled out
who Yeah, but he was always full of magical moments
there no doubt. Again, but professional athletes, they have the footage,
they have the moment, and they rarely go out on top,
so you gotta tip your hat when they do. So
(33:22):
for Kelsey to run it back, I mean he must
really have some regrets of how he played his last game,
because for them to run it back, they think they're
gonna win again. I find that hard to blad ambitious.
You know who would have been great at dealer no
deal or pressure luck, no emmy, no Emmi. Stop John Elway.
(33:42):
When John Elway finally won, he just remember when we
were kids. He lost to the Giants, he lost to
the Redskins, and he lost to the forty nine ers,
And you're like, man l Way zero and three in
the Super Bowl. But he's so cool. He won helicopter
diving too. The end Zone. Underdog beat the Packers, they
ran it back and they beat the Falcons, and I
remember thinking like, why is he That's why I feel
(34:04):
like Kershaw's pressing his luck. He could have went out
of champ Yeah, no, win again.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Let's go to damn Vin for an update, dB, what's
going on, buddy?
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Remember when Brady retired the first time, they thought that
the final touchdown pass would be the one that Mike
Evans threw into the stands.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yes, and so then that ball was the hot commodity.
Speaker 10 (34:23):
And then Brady unretires and then it's like, ah, too bad,
and so whoever bought it got the wrong end of
the deal. The Titans did win the next week, though,
Remember they beat the Ravens and then lost to the
Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. But anyway, speaking of
the Buccaneers, former Buccaneers at coach John Gruden will be
reinstated into the ring. The team's ring of honor once
(34:43):
again removed in twenty twenty one following a New York
Times article at the time that published Gruden's emails from
twenty ten where he used racist, homophobic, and misogynistic terms
in those emails with other NFL personnel. You guys mentioned
Chiefs said on Travis Kels, he confirmed he'll play in
twenty twenty five. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is not
(35:04):
working out in Indianapolis. Did speak with reporters today at
the combine, saying that he's telling teams he wants to
play both positions. NFL salary cap two hundred and seventy
nine point two million dollars for next season. That's the
highest ever. Spurs head coach Greg Popovich says he will
not return to coaching this season following a mild stroke
in the fall and the statement. Popovitch said he is
(35:24):
hoping he can return to coaching in the near future.
Nick center Mitchell Robinson could make his season debut tomorrow
against the Grizzlies, according to ESPN, as he's listed as questionable.
Jannison Teta Koopo will go for the Bucks tonight against
the Denver Nuggets, and Jake Knapp some history on the
PGA Tour, becoming the fifteenth player to shoot a sub
sixty round. His round of fifty nine puts him atop
(35:45):
the leaderboard at the Cognisant Classic at twelve under par guys.
Speaker 1 (35:48):

I'm Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis and Rich add
(36:55):
another thought. You know how, earlier in the show we
said that we always envisioned our grandparents living in the
black and white because all the footage and photos we saw, Yes,
we're in black and white. So with that thought, do
our kids think we lived in the blurry because all
of our footage and photos of the eighties and nineties
all blurry footage? Now do they think we lived in
(37:17):
the blurry? And the truth is yes, because that's what
your little son said. Yeah, I showed I showed him
a clip of the Mets in the eighties when I
was a little boy, and he's like, Dad, it's so blurry.
And by the way, Dan Buyer showed us a clip
we had never seen. I posted it at Rich Davis
at cavin on Rich and it's uh. When they made
the switch to the news being in color, Now you
(37:38):
know why I was never told the story though. This
is the revelation. I just had my brain right now.
I've never seen that clip, and it's really interesting. There
was a moment where we went from black and white
to color. It's probably because a lot of people didn't
have a color TV. So even though they did that,
Like from my mother's perspective, I never heard my mother
tell me the day it went color because he still
(38:00):
had a black and white television. If you had a
black and white TV, it didn't matter. Even though they
made the Wizard of Oz in color, it was always
it was always in black and white. Like maybe your grandparents,
they it didn't matter to them until they had a
color TV. So I imagine a lot of people didn't
even notice what happened visually because they still had black
and white televisions. Anyway, I digest remember in nineteen fifty five,
(38:25):
the mcflies they had a TV and they were remember
like having a TV. It was like, yeah, you have money,
Yeah I know, Yeah, I got two TVs. I got
some TV TV reruns. Live from thetiraq dot com studio.
