I hope you're having a Knicks Thunder, Pope Leo sort
of day. By the way, Dan Byer was so right
that Pope leo announcement today was so action back.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It was like a major event. It had I said,
the analogy.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I'm not prat shops man. It had like I
don't know, there was great entertainment value. Of course, we
understand the real life importance and significance of the Catholic
Church and what it means to people. I get that right,
but there was like as far as entertainment value.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It was really game.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It had an NFL draft vibe because it was red Zone.
The God Danny and we respectfully joked about this on
our Patreon Early Today Live. The only thing that was
missing was like a ring entrance, like a song, like
we were saying James Lennon came out, well I am
(02:00):
a real American or something like that could have been
really cool. Well, I said, imagine, because everyone was waiting,
I said, what if all of a sudden you heard
like the stone cold Steve Austin glass break.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's just me.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It missed a little bit of theatrics, but otherwise that
was great.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
He's from Chicago. Alan Parson's Bull Steam like doom, Doom doom.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Did you do?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I know, dude, So that's the only Maybe some cooler
uh graphics packages maybe to make it look cool. But imagine, Rich,
just imagine, just picture this Vatican city this morning, and.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Now it's time for your new pop.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
He's from Chicago, pope saying.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Wait, where's his height? And wait in school from Ilenova.
He loves deep dish pizza and probably will invite Michael
Jordan into the Vatican.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, he was wearing Air Jordan's sot of people don't
know that. He wasn't wearing your traditional slipper.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He was wearing air. Pope's air. He was wearing the.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Air Jordan's eighty five's. But anyway, it was really awesome.
And we say that respectfully. I was having a sort
of day. I mean, it's Catholic, dude. I had my
even if you're not about I have a little pride
in America. We have an American pope. There's one point
four billion Catholics out there. And for the record, Rich
and I were all, we're all pretty much raised Catholic.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You know my do you know my confirmation name?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You got to pick it. Where I grew about it, like,
and I chose. I chose Joseph because of Joe. Oh,
I took because if you had an amazing technicolor dream coat.
I chose Thomas after my grandfather, Thomas Thomas.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
So I was supposed to be Javier. But the the
Xavier it was my information name.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
What that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
But the clergyman that was doing the ceremony he called
me Xavier, and I'm like, no, it's Javier. He's from
like I think he was from Argentina or something.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So you so you picked like a saint, right? Is that?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I just picked my grandfather's name, Javier bro Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Ioa Sam I was.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
But he is it is spelled x A v I
e R. He was from Oh he's from Spain.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Spain.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Okay, if we called you that, Javier is his confirmation
name er Spain.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
By the way, that might be the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'm gonna say, Javier L. Johnson.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's how Dan.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Byer, you know, on on I'm more on the Pope talk.
This is this is actual audio. This is not me
building it up, and it's it's it's a joke because
I was amazed by this. W G N gets an
interview with the Pope's brother. This, this is like a
huge get It's a huge You have a thousand questions
(05:04):
that you could ask. Maybe they don't have that much time,
so you ask the important questions. Then as you guys
know and Danny knows and circling and trying to figure
out what's the best of the one video clip that
they put on WGM in talking to the Pope's brother.
The guy's brother just became pope five hours ago. Here's
(05:25):
the question you ready for this? Cubs are white Sox fan?
Speaker 8 (05:30):
Yeah? He was never ever a Cubs fan, so I
don't know where that came from. He was always a
Socks fan.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Wow. Yes, our mother was.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
A Cubs fan. I don't know, maybe that include in there.
And our dad was a Cardinals fan, so I don't
know where that all came from.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
There.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
So that's the But that's the video that they put up.
Not like, what was it like growing up with the
Pope or having him as your brother?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Can you imagine Harold Bains and guys like Calton Fist like, yeah,
he's a fan of me, Pope. Frank Thomas is like,
that's crazy white jersey.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Underneath all the roads.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
No joke's got that new city connect Yo. That is cool. Man.
That sounds came out with that Chicago bulls.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Sounds like the Sebastian Man Scalcal controversy. He's like, you know,
I'll do both.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's great And honestly, guys, we say all this respectfully.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That was so cool to see.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And the fact that he's American and from Chicago, that's
a that's a win for America today.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I agree with them by one hundred percent. W g
In that is a cool get the Pope's brother. The
day he's announced as the Pope, very cool. And I'll
give shout out to our buddy KFC from barstool. Did
you see he broke down what he thinks was harder
to become a cardinal in the Catholic Church or a
Saint Louis cardinal And when you look at the odds similar,
(06:50):
it really is a cool little breakdown. So I'll shout
out to him, Well, congrats again. And it's been a
crazy day. But back to our previous conversation, guys, not
only was the Pope announced, but today happens to be
by the world a coke day. And I know that
pales in comparison to the Pope the Pope Day. But
coke is a major part of our lives and a
(07:12):
major part of Americana eighteen eighty six, a part of
our history. And this is when it came out. It
actually had cocaine in it when it first came out,
And I'm a big fan.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't drink coke as much anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Un less, of course it's Mexican coke with the real
sugar in them, right, it comes to the old school
bottle with the real sugar cane.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm a fan of cherry coke.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean, who isn't. Those remix machines are insane, right,
we get to mix it up. But I do have
a Coke zero still once or twice a week, right
out of the machine right there. I'm a big fan
of that. But Rich already said it. Coke zero was
a thing. One misstep, and it was a misstep new coke.
And you said coke there, Coke zero is delicious. I'm sorry,
(07:54):
new coke. New Coke. Coke zero is great because it
tastes a lot like coke. Yeah, new coke is When
he us with the formula and people are like, what
that is too sweet? Yeah, we don't like this. Bring
back the old Coke. So new Coke came out, grand opening,
grand close. It so based on that old school and
fifty hits. So it back on a Thursday. What were
some other nostalgic things that came and went discontinued? Items
(08:18):
that come to mind for you now at every.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Bas based on soft drinks.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
If you're gonna get mentioned and shout out coke on
Coke Day, do you guys remember how cool you thought
for a minute Crystal Pepsi was.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I was just looking at it right now, Crystal Pepsi.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Maybe they did Crystal gravy on Saturday Night Live. Well
you know what, that was the age we got it.
I mean, it's Coke Day. But you got to give
props to Pepsi because without that rivalry, like we say
all the time, every Muhammad Ali needs their Joe Frasier, right,
everybody needs their Yankees for real, they need that to
get the best out of each other. That wore the
cola war is what made Coca Cola what it is today.
(08:54):
It's a monster and Pepsi's not too far behind. But yeah, myself,
you are a pepsi guy. Yeah, you're the choice of
You're the choice of the generation.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Hobvier.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I like the flavory. I like the Swiss, the sweeter.
It's a little sweeter than coke. I just like I
would lean that direction too, because I like diet pepsi.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I don't hate on pepsi.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But as far as branding, dude, look, if there's kitties watching,
if there's kitties listening, I should say ear muffs kitties
of the car.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I think we could talk around it. Yeah, really, I
think that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I'll just say that Coca Cola also responsible for some
of the greatest Christmas characters that we know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, some of the some.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of the colors that represent Christmas, and so they sort
of Shake Cola shaped the.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
World we live in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right, So on this day discontinued items a lah new Coke.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
New Coke came out April twenty third, nineteen eighty five. Wow.
Coca Cola said that they hoped it would be talked
about for generations to come, and this article says, well
they got their wish.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, we're talking about it today. So Crystal Pepsi new Coke.
I'll throw one out there and then we'll go to
the fall for me. We somehow mentioned Fat Albert and
Bill Cosby earlier in the show. My favorite ice cream treat.
When I was a kid, frozen food section of the supermarket.
I thought there was nothing better than a jell O
(10:15):
pudding pop.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They were so good, man.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They get a little icy too, a little bit he
bite the signs of them. There was something about a
pudding pop so good that was so good.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
They really were.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Why did they get rid of them? Bill Cosby was
the spokesman at the time. General put them pups, but
they were great. I never understood why they went away.
I'm with you on that discontinued items. Let's go to
the phones because there's so many. We could talk about
this all day. I'm trying to think of one that
really broke my heart the most eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox, Who do we Got?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Do you want to start?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Let's say hi to Josh and Tennessee. Hey, Josh, thanks
for waiting. Everybody, We appreciate it. What's up, buddy? Hey?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
What comes to mind for you?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm kind of on the line with him on the
ice cream. Mine is a taco taco and whatever I
can find me or my wife can't find it, whatsoever.
And I was in love with it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That was in the past few years in fact. But
then it's only us to blame. And it's the twinkie theory,
right If you remember a few years ago, we've talked
about this many times. They were going to discontinue the
twinkie and everyone's like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And Rich and I. Rich was like, when's the last
time you bought a Twinkie? And you're like, well and forever, Well,
that's your fault.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Were you out there buying choco tacos because I love
them too, because what I hadn't bought any in a while.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
If you are not to blame, if you're.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Not buying Choco tacos on the regular, don't be mad
if they get discontinued.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I know, sometimes things I'm sorry, Sam, I was just
gonna say, sometimes things get discontinued when it seems like
they're a fan favorite, agreed, Like you see fast food
restaurants all the time. They'll bring something back for you know,
a limited time, and you're like, no, keep it on
your menu forever, Like we love that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Fighting now My wife is baffled how Taco Bell got
rid of the ste case a rito.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
She's like, oh, that was so good.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
She made you order it like on the app and
they took it off the menu.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, And I was like, what the heck? So you
guys also like it, Like my wife's like, it was
steak cheese on a in a burrito form, like.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You tell Casa in a burrito combine.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I thought it was great.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, I agree. See, I'll tell my wife. You guys
could order them together, Sam doing the app anything else?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Come to wut for you? Dan Bayer, I'm.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Having dja vous because I felt we've hit on a
little of this because I remember talking about outback steakhouses
tassie bites because.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
They were so delicious bringing them up. They were taking
it off.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
But it leads me to the point of my buddy
told me that I think Olive Garden maybe had a
spinach article choke dip or something like that that they
took off the menu because nobody else would order any
other appetizer, So they were losing money on all of
the other appetizers that were going to waste because everybody
was ordering that other stuff that that was his.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
No, I don't know that's real, and I'm not the
restaurant business.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I believe your friend.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm not Robert Irvine.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I'm not sure if that that works or not, but
that's what I was told.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Let's go to Wisconsin and talk to the Fats. The
Fats you're on with Kevin on Retchords Ubuddy sounds like
a perfect conversation for the Fats.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Hey, I'm a Catholic who grew up on Patsy.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's why they taste formula because they took the challenge.
You remember that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, yeah, Tepsi challenge.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
That's what it was all about.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I'll tell you what the thing nice. Discontinue the greatest
breakfast cereal of all time? Apple Jacks.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Wait a second, well, hold on, don't they live in
little variety packs?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
At least anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Apple Jacks are gone? Apple Jacks are gone. Don't they
come in those little packs? Are like fruit loops?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Do they only come in the tiny box?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah? They're just tiny? Hold look, that's crazy. If that's discontinued.
I know dunk Ruse were discontinued. I don't know if
they brought him back or not.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Let's say hi, to Mark in New Mexico. What's up, Mark?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Hey? What up? Mark?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Good man?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
What's up Hey? Something that broke my heart recently from
my childhood is when they discontinued one of the Little
Debbie cakes. You see, we weren't rich enough to get
the high end Hostess Twinkies and cupcakes and snowballs. We
had to settle for the lower level Little Debbie Cakes,
and they discontinued the Banana Twins.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Bro, as long as the cosmic Brownie is still out there,
you're okay.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Ore kasaic Brownie is still there. I see it at
the same as all that's alive, You're good.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
By the way, Internet's saying, Applejack's cereals still available, it's
by Kellogg's and it's still out there. Maybe this gentleman
in his neck of the woods they don't have to.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's yeah, that's possible, but yeah, I'm pretty sure. But
you only see it in those little variety packs. Yeah,
Apple Jackson, that's real, old school man. That is hard
to find. And I only know because oddly enough, my
wife recently got them and I questioned the move.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Like, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
A lot of these things go away, but they do
come back, Like if you're a count Jocula and Frankenberry,
and you know, Booberry went away for a long time,
but then all of a sudden he comes back out
of nowhere. You're like, oh, I guess maybe for Halloween
or something. But I did discontinue it at one point.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Can I give you guys a dessert that I'm sure
you're gonna go down memory lane with me on deep
The og apple pie from McDonald's, Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Dude, like extra Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It was so hot it could burn a hole in
your cheek. And at first they changed it, which stunk,
and then it's off. I think it's off the menu
altogether now if.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I mistake and they never brought back the og one
that was so good.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Speaking of McDonald's, who is synonymous with Coca Cola, if
you think it tastes different at McDonald's, it does. You know,
McDonald's and Coca Cola have an agreement where the syrup
carbonation ratio is different to McDonald's than anywhere else. So
there's people that like they store it differently. I'm pressure, yeah, pressure,
and the syrup ratio. So when people say nothing better
than like a fountain coke for McDonald's, it is different.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That is a fact.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And speaking of McDonald's and the apple pie. On every
list you look up, like favorite discontinued food from McDonald's,
one that comes up on every list is coming back
this this summer and that's a McDonald's snack wrap.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Those snack they're coming back this summer.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
You know what McDonald's they did briefly, I think in
the eighties was they made pizza. McDonald's made pizza.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You know what our video guy spot always brings up.
He goes, you know what, I loved the Arch Deluxe.
Does anyone remember the Arch Deluxe vaguely at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, that was that was a big one.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Hey, speaking of Coca Cola and again new Coke, do
you guys remember your parents when they were trying to
stay healthy, they would drink tab Yes, Yeah, because I
am I'm pretty certain it's discontinued.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
To pay for it now? Yeah, can I have order
something if you want.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
To take exactly? It only lives in back to the
future reference and the jerk.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That's it. That's so funny.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Tab.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Let's say, hi, we'll take one more on the one.
Move on, say how to trip our good pala in Vegas?
What's up trip trip?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Like I do?
Speaker 4 (16:54):
What's got the trip?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Like I do? What's up in?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
You took the first two.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I was gonna say putting Jellow pudding pops. I was
going to say Hostess products. But then the third one,
how about kudos?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, that was a big.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Deal in the eighties and nineties. I feel like kids
would always put those in their lunchbox. Codes are a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And uh, you know, since we're talking Colin, thank you trip,
You're the man, dude. Have a great, great well Mother's
Day weekend, and final talk to you. Well hopefully you're
listening tomorrow. You're making me think of other like Surge.
Remember that green drink Serge.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I think it had extra caffeine.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, that's so. It was like a weird soda.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And then of course the Soby rage and nan Nantucket
nectars even exist?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I think Nantuck does Soby does not exist?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Does I have two in my mind? Does Jolt Cola
still exist?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I haven't seen it? Remember jolts?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, novelty item Now they might have.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Those, you know those boxes where you could buy olds.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Being Jolt Calos being re launched in twenty twenty five.
This is what the wow interwebs. That's what the kids need. Yeah,
remember code red? Yes, oh yeah, that's good. They're calling
it red con one. Is Jolt Cola? Okay, red con one?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, sorry, red con one. I'm trying to think of
any other any other treats. Yeah, I'll give you one.
I don't even know. I don't know if I even
though the name of a lot of the good humor
stuff we grew up with is gone, like Bubbalo Bill
and Fat Frog and things like that. Let's you know,
let's go to Alaska real quick, Steve, you're on. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Hey, guys, tell you doing We're good man.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah, you guys just took the words right out of
my mouth. I was not ready to say the joke. Cola.
We used to drink that back in the eighties when
I worked the graveyard ship at the post office.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, that was the extra sugary caffeinated with the lightning
bolt on it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Let me let me kick one more at you and Danny.
I'm gonna give you Sam.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You might be a little young you're a couple years
younger than us, but if you were kid of the
eighties and nineties, I'm gonna give you a cookie that
I feel like was in your your parents' cabinets. Look
up Giggles. They were like bootleg oreos, but they had
smiley faces.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
They don't exist anywhere the Oh yeah, I totally remember those.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, you remember Giggles, especially the ones with the chocolate
covering on the other. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So think about it if you want to talk about it.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox again, it's what's
the actual title of the Coke Day?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Share it? What is it? It's a have a Coke,
Have a Coke Day?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
National have a Coke Day in eighteen eighty six, and
they're only missed. I'm sure there's more, but their biggest
misstep is new Coke and was discontinued.
Speaker 1 (19:39):

much like sports, thrives on competition. When you get a
(20:06):
McDonald out to each other, when you get a McDonald's
and a Burger King, or you know, a pepsi and
a coke. Every industry needs an opponent toys, same thing
like you need an opponent. Got bots needed transformers, like
you need someone to motivate you. And you see that
in sports and you see it in life. Yeah, we

calls and then talk some Nicks actually Nicks tickets. Yeah,
discontinued items that the National have a Coke Day got
us thinking that they're only missed up.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That you could maybe say.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Is when they decided to go with new coke when
we were kids in the eighties, the bad idea backfire.
They then said, oh, classic Coca cola, and then they
were back to normal. But everyone has a misstep, you
know what you always We've talked about this in the past.
I've been hanging with Rich forever. I know the things
you always bring up, those putting pudding pies. Yeah, yeah,
(24:15):
they they always they still have, like the cherry and
apple one. But I usedill love the vanilla pudding pie,
the chocolate pudding pie, eight and fifty calories in one
of those bad boys. When you were a kid, you
didn't care. Dude, you were sitting here, like the sugary
glazed hard shell. Remember they made a Ninja turtle one
and had u it was vanilla pudding. But they died
at green Oh, I'm sure that was healthy when we
were kids. Remember Teddy Grams. I remember the song Joe's
(24:40):
well to have those two?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, then dude, they're gone. Let's go rapid fire.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
What discontinued item reminds you of your childhood that you
loved again? The league leader by far the number one
answer any list you look up on social media, Reddit,
anywhere online, BuzzFeed, the pudding pop and it makes you
wonder why no ice cream company has said, hey, Jello,
let's partner up.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Clearly, I can still taste a piece of wood at
the end.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
The reason.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Can I actually ask you guys a kind of an
offshoot question, did you grow up with the very Okay,
I'm all right now, emotional or yes both. Actually, did
you grow up with a very cheap but very good
dessert when you're a kid of the jello chocolate pudding
in a pie crust like in the Graham cracker crust.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Of course for every holiday when you'll make a pudding pie. Oh,
it's so good.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
You put them in the fridge and it would kind
of solidify, of course, and then you put so affordable
ready whip on top. Oh man, what I haven't had
that in years?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Come over my house?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yes, please?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Are you sure you're gonna write them? I was?
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I was Sam, Xavier wants some chocolate pudding pie.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You got it? Javier? I was Sam's confirmation named Javier.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
But Heyavier, Iowa, Iowa.
Speaker 3 (26:00):

But you know you look like such a Javier. I
really do you know? I'm Sam.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I'm one of those blonde Spaniards.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm serious when I say this. He wears Javier Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
If you go to someone's house on Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving,
someone makes a pudding pie, it's gonna go before someone's
homemade apple pie with out of that, it's a no fail.
It's great, so good, all right, rapid fire David and Reno.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (26:26):

Speaker 4 (26:29):
I got two things, Zema beer and low and Brown.
Can't find either one of them anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Zeema was such a big thing for all. They made
a little comeback years ago, but it never caught on.
But they did try to like relaunch Zema. That was
your it was something different.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, yeah, Zema basically today is the white claw. You know,
it's just it's just a seltzer with alcohol.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Zema was like.

What about the zebra striped gum?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You could eat the wrapper fruit stripe?
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Man, that's so sad that they discontinued, just went actually
discontinued this year.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I read fruit Strive. I was like fifteen seconds of greatness.
Fruit stripe was the gum your grandmother had. If I
would go to my grandma's house, she would have fruit
strip gum. And you remember blackjack gum. It was licorice flavored,
like that's like old people, gum. What did you do
with the rappers of fruit stripe? They were tattoos, remember,
oh yes, and they would wash away with like a
within a day. Yeah, I dude, fifteen seconds of intensity
(27:34):
of awesomeness.

But after that you were, hey, talked about your night
last night with your wife girlfriend?

metal foil anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
And the Jeff Peanut Butter cookie.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Jeff Peanut butter cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And I think I remember the weird Al Yankovic video
for I'm Fat and they're like, ding dong, man, ding
you know you ain't fat, you ain't nothing because he
didn't want to eat the ding dongs anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Gain, Let's go to justin Northern Cali. What's up? Justin?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Hey? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
First off, I want to say they definitely still have
Apple Jacks.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, we corrected that.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Okay. The one drink that I wish they would bring back,
granted I was thirteen or fourteen when I loved it
was Pepsi blue.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah. That That's been on a couple of list times.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I've been looking at Pepsi blue as a thing for
a second, don't know one.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, you know what, I haven't needed the money.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Oh you know, I haven't. I haven't really f'd with
those machines much. But some of those you go to,
like a good Burger place or the movie theater. Damn,
your kids could grab a cup and make every flakes.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
With that drink. Scared of it?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
How does that matter? Dude?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
You're not like Mixmester Mike. We're just scared to step

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Budh big fan? Guys can't waiting in June. I know
you guys mentioned the fight apple Pie and McDonald's and

No, and we're gonna get to that in a second.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I have one last thought though, if we could go
round the room and then go to Dan Buyer's update.
Is there an old school treat that if you just
say it, you could almost visually like taste it or
just even the texture. I saw some kid on social
media and he was talking about how his dad's still
obsessed with eating devil dogs chokers, And if you say
a devil dog, can't you just in your mind picture
(30:35):
that it was so good? But you'd be like, because
it devil dogs? Did your family house devil dogs? Oh yeah,
Drake's cakes, dude, all day, my dad sold them in
his vending machines. I lived off of Yankee doodles and
devil ducks. I didn't realize he was in the pastry
game before wrapping. Yeah Drake, Yeah, oh yeah, Drake's cakes. No,
(30:58):
but I'm not even kidding. My dad, for I mean,
for anyone who cares, was a vendor. That was what
he did. That was the family income, his own business.
And Drake's cakes were all over my house, my whole life.
So yeah, we lived on devil dogs and all that stuff.
All right, Well, hey, hopefully you enjoyed reminiscing with us.
Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update. Dbebe, what's up.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
I still reminisce about the taste because it's different now
of the Domino's pizza When it opened up in our hometown.
We talked a lot about Pizza Hutt and memories. I
remember when we came minutes or let there, yes, and
you would time them. A small town, we didn't have
a We had a KFC, We had a pizza Hut
and a dairy Queen that was opened from April to October.
But other than that, than when Hardy's came into town,
(31:38):
it was a big deal. But Dominoes, they brought it
to your door.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
There was a There was a different taste to it
that I can still taste to this day.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Wish wish we could have that back.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Warriors and Timberwolves play game too tonight eight thirty Eastern Time.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Warriors up one.
Speaker 7 (31:53):

(32:56):
the Golden Knights at nine thirty Eastern guys back to you.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Thank you, dB and by that's sad to hear about
chet Lemons. It is just one of those names you
knew synonymous with Detroit growing up. Yeah, that Lew Whitakers
and Alan Trammels and all those dudes. For sure, sixteen
years in the Bigs. Let's see career average two seventy three.
It sounds about right. Two seventy three nowadays is like
three hundred and two fifteen career home runs. But definitely
(33:21):
one of those names. You also played seven years with
the White Sox, but I think of them as a
Tiger me too, chet Lemon on the road again? Was
it White Sox and Tigers anyone else? Yep, No, that's it.
I think he played for two teams. Yeah, team guy,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Nine years.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, he ended with Detroit in nineteen ninety. But definitely
one of those dudes you remember from like RBI baseball
and Harris, you know, collecting baseball cards and watching them.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Play, No doubt, Hey, rest in peace. I listen to
NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
There there's such a vibe I'm guessing in the East
Coast right now on the.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
East Coast, New York City. Game three when they go
back I'm walking in again my thicket.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
When they go back to Madison Square Garden on Saturday
game three, let's talk about that. Tickets, and that's the
afternoon game, by the way, so we'll get to that
next right here, Covin on Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,
some old school throwback. STP one of my all time favorites.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I have a theory Nirvana changed the game, right. We
know that I love Nirvana, but when it goes song
for song, I think STP has more songs than any
of those bands of the nineties song for song, like.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, I love that song, love this song, love that song.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
With that, I'm telling you he's playing Wicked Garden if
you're listening to the podcast and you'll hear it, but
good choice. Iowa Samuel Covino and Rich the Radio Musical
on Fox Sports Radio live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
For sure to check out the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel.
Search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube and watch all the
video highlights. And remember, in about eleven minutes we go
(35:05):
live on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page for over promised
episode ninety one. We're gonna talk about home runs. There's
a new home run stat in the works. We're gonna
talk home runs. I got my own theory on home runs. Okay,
where we're gonna talk a little. There's a new updated
one gorilla versus one hundred people debate, there's a new yeah,
(35:25):
I got We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Put that to rest.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
We got lots to talk about and over promised our
bonus podcast because we ran out of time today having fun.
You know when you talk about music and you said, oh,
Carino Rich, you know the Fox Sports Radio Radio musical, Well.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
You and I always thought they went hand in hand.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I never understood people that didn't think they went hand
in hand. And when we linked up with Danny G
as our producer, one of the commonalities we had was
Danny G was a sports fanatic, But Danny G knew
as much about music as anyone of this hit and
everything else. Danny doesn't it boggle your mind when you
meet someone that doesn't know the other.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Yeah, they're like an Aley.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Like, wait, so you no music?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Real, dude, you play, you play guitar and love music,
but you know nothing about sports. And then on the
flip side, you love sports, but you can't name who
sings that song.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Like, I never got that. Like, to me, music and
sports so.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Many of us growing up. Yeah, the two things crossed
each other when.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The guys play in the locker room, in the clubhouse.
What do you hear at a stadium? Guys worry about
what their walk up music is? What's their hype up music?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
An athlete, a star athlete? What did he secretly always
want to be a star rapper? What is the star
rapper secret secretly wanted?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Athletes?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Star wide receiver, quarterback?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
So to me, it's a weird thing. Yeah, we're here
to say that they go hand in hand. I never
understood it. I never will the same way I never
understand understood how back in the day, if you were
in like the drama club in school, that was like nerdy,
yet we glamorized and loved actors and actresses. It's like, well,
where do you think they start? It's hard, it's hard
to even like for me to pick what I like.
(36:57):
More like, I don't know, I don't know. I like sports,
sports and music.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
What do I like?
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Betters a tie. I'm a bigger sports fan of the music.
But then again, you are way more passionate about music.
Hey maybe, but it's it's the say it's close, dude,
I don't know. So thank you guys for hanging out
with us before we go. We promised us and we
got to mention it. The Knicks play on Saturday afternoon.
I mean, what a series Celtics bringing it back to
(37:21):
the Garden. What you know, how pumped they I think
they lost just already. I know they're their favorite win
and favorite to win, but they're going into the most
rowdy environment.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
They got a bunch of the Knicks. Baby, Yeah, they're
gonna be to go down there and lose.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, we're walking khakis going to the God and Yeah
in New York, Knicks, get your Kaki's.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
We're driving down you know.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Pumped the Knicks fans are going to be. I just
think they're walking into an electric environment. The Garden's gonna
be ready. But here's the thing. Everybody's trying to get there,
and the tickets right now is low as six hundred
and thirty four. That's your your cheapest nosebleed is six
to seven hundo. So I want to pose this question
to you guys. The Knicks haven't been in it at
(38:08):
this level in a minute. So I could see where
if you got kids, or if you want to go
with a date and yeah, yo, let's let's do it up,
going and get some coffee and some Knicks tickets. Ay
Le's about the Knicks in New York. Le's about this
game in particular. But have you ever tried this little deal?
Because someone mentioned this. Have you ever gone to a
(38:29):
stadium or an arena waited fifteen minutes after the game
started and then go on like secondary ticket apps and
go into the game late or do you have no
interest in doing that? Like what if I told you, yeah,
go to a Mets player, go to a Dodger's playoff game,
but uh, in the third inning?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Like tickets of fifty.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Bucks When you say that, I'm not judging right, but
I think that's that's a young man's game, Like if
I would have done that my twenties each.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
But that's what I'm saying. Yeah, maybe for a young man.
I'm at it down.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
If you're a younger dude, and honestly you have no responsibilities,
You're trying to get in there. Yeah, you can wait
around all day and just get in and say you
were there.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Oh, because as an adult, you don't want to leave
things a chance.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
No, No, that's what I'm saying, Like there are sometimes
I used.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
To do that at Yankee Stadium when I was when
I was in my twenties.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
What I'm saying if you're a young dude in New
York for this example, or hey, you want you want
to see a game in the Bay Area, Golden State
and you're saying to yourself, I can't really afford what
these ticket prices are. Is there any shame in the
game of like, I'm gonna hang around the stadium until
things start and then you know, because you see that happen.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Like, let me ask you, guys, you're both from the
East coast. If the Knicks advance, what's it going to
start looking like? Because we're right, God, Jeep's right now,
six hundred, we're not to the conference finals.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
She double that at least at least for now.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Nicks haven't made it to the NBA finals in the
twenty first century, right, they lost to the Spurs and
then before that OJ was in a car chase.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I mean, it's been a minute, and you earlier on
the show, you guys called the Garden electric. What comes
to mind and YouTube this? If you didn't see or
you have never seen this Larry Johnson's famous four point
play to come back and beat the Pacers in the
ninety nine Eastern Conference Finals. It was like an earthquake
happened in New York. You see, the cameras can't stay still.
(40:13):
Really the crowd all erupts and stands up at the
same time and lose their you know what minds. It's crazy,
that's what they've been winning.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I'm not counting out the calves, but I think it
would be such a throwback to our old school MBA
days if the Eastern Conference Finals were the Pacers and Knicks.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Oh man, that's that's so good.

I hope you're having a Knicks Thunder, Pope Leo sort
of day. By the way, Dan Byer was so right
that Pope leo announcement today was so action back.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It was like a major event. It had I said,
the analogy.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I'm not prat shops man. It had like I
don't know, there was great entertainment value. Of course, we
understand the real life importance and significance of the Catholic
Church and what it means to people. I get that right,
but there was like as far as entertainment value.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It was really game.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It had an NFL draft vibe because it was red Zone.
The God Danny and we respectfully joked about this on
our Patreon Early Today Live. The only thing that was
missing was like a ring entrance, like a song, like
we were saying James Lennon came out, well I am
(02:00):
a real American or something like that could have been
really cool. Well, I said, imagine, because everyone was waiting,
I said, what if all of a sudden you heard
like the stone cold Steve Austin glass break.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's just me.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It missed a little bit of theatrics, but otherwise that
was great.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
He's from Chicago. Alan Parson's Bull Steam like doom, Doom doom.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Did you do?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I know, dude, So that's the only Maybe some cooler
uh graphics packages maybe to make it look cool. But imagine, Rich,
just imagine, just picture this Vatican city this morning, and.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Now it's time for your new pop.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
He's from Chicago, pope saying.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Wait, where's his height? And wait in school from Ilenova.
He loves deep dish pizza and probably will invite Michael
Jordan into the Vatican.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, he was wearing Air Jordan's sot of people don't
know that. He wasn't wearing your traditional slipper.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He was wearing air. Pope's air. He was wearing the.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Air Jordan's eighty five's. But anyway, it was really awesome.
And we say that respectfully. I was having a sort
of day. I mean, it's Catholic, dude. I had my
even if you're not about I have a little pride
in America. We have an American pope. There's one point
four billion Catholics out there. And for the record, Rich
and I were all, we're all pretty much raised Catholic.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You know my do you know my confirmation name?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You got to pick it. Where I grew about it, like,
and I chose. I chose Joseph because of Joe. Oh,
I took because if you had an amazing technicolor dream coat.
I chose Thomas after my grandfather, Thomas Thomas.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
So I was supposed to be Javier. But the the
Xavier it was my information name.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
What that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
But the clergyman that was doing the ceremony he called
me Xavier, and I'm like, no, it's Javier. He's from
like I think he was from Argentina or something.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So you so you picked like a saint, right? Is that?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I just picked my grandfather's name, Javier bro Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Ioa Sam I was.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
But he is it is spelled x A v I
e R. He was from Oh he's from Spain.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Spain.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Okay, if we called you that, Javier is his confirmation
name er Spain.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
By the way, that might be the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'm gonna say, Javier L. Johnson.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's how Dan.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Byer, you know, on on I'm more on the Pope talk.
This is this is actual audio. This is not me
building it up, and it's it's it's a joke because
I was amazed by this. W G N gets an
interview with the Pope's brother. This, this is like a
huge get It's a huge You have a thousand questions
(05:04):
that you could ask. Maybe they don't have that much time,
so you ask the important questions. Then as you guys
know and Danny knows and circling and trying to figure
out what's the best of the one video clip that
they put on WGM in talking to the Pope's brother.
The guy's brother just became pope five hours ago. Here's
(05:25):
the question you ready for this? Cubs are white Sox fan?
Speaker 8 (05:30):
Yeah? He was never ever a Cubs fan, so I
don't know where that came from. He was always a
Socks fan.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Wow. Yes, our mother was.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
A Cubs fan. I don't know, maybe that include in there.
And our dad was a Cardinals fan, so I don't
know where that all came from.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
There.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
So that's the But that's the video that they put up.
Not like, what was it like growing up with the
Pope or having him as your brother?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Can you imagine Harold Bains and guys like Calton Fist like, yeah,
he's a fan of me, Pope. Frank Thomas is like,
that's crazy white jersey.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Underneath all the roads.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
No joke's got that new city connect Yo. That is cool. Man.
That sounds came out with that Chicago bulls.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Sounds like the Sebastian Man Scalcal controversy. He's like, you know,
I'll do both.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's great And honestly, guys, we say all this respectfully.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That was so cool to see.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And the fact that he's American and from Chicago, that's
a that's a win for America today.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I agree with them by one hundred percent. W g
In that is a cool get the Pope's brother. The
day he's announced as the Pope, very cool. And I'll
give shout out to our buddy KFC from barstool. Did
you see he broke down what he thinks was harder
to become a cardinal in the Catholic Church or a
Saint Louis cardinal And when you look at the odds similar,
(06:50):
it really is a cool little breakdown. So I'll shout
out to him, Well, congrats again. And it's been a
crazy day. But back to our previous conversation, guys, not
only was the Pope announced, but today happens to be
by the world a coke day. And I know that
pales in comparison to the Pope the Pope Day. But
coke is a major part of our lives and a
(07:12):
major part of Americana eighteen eighty six, a part of
our history. And this is when it came out. It
actually had cocaine in it when it first came out,
And I'm a big fan.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't drink coke as much anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Un less, of course it's Mexican coke with the real
sugar in them, right, it comes to the old school
bottle with the real sugar cane.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm a fan of cherry coke.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean, who isn't. Those remix machines are insane, right,
we get to mix it up. But I do have
a Coke zero still once or twice a week, right
out of the machine right there. I'm a big fan
of that. But Rich already said it. Coke zero was
a thing. One misstep, and it was a misstep new coke.
And you said coke there, Coke zero is delicious. I'm sorry,
(07:54):
new coke. New Coke. Coke zero is great because it
tastes a lot like coke. Yeah, new coke is When
he us with the formula and people are like, what
that is too sweet? Yeah, we don't like this. Bring
back the old Coke. So new Coke came out, grand opening,
grand close. It so based on that old school and
fifty hits. So it back on a Thursday. What were
some other nostalgic things that came and went discontinued? Items
(08:18):
that come to mind for you now at every.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Bas based on soft drinks.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
If you're gonna get mentioned and shout out coke on
Coke Day, do you guys remember how cool you thought
for a minute Crystal Pepsi was.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I was just looking at it right now, Crystal Pepsi.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Maybe they did Crystal gravy on Saturday Night Live. Well
you know what, that was the age we got it.
I mean, it's Coke Day. But you got to give
props to Pepsi because without that rivalry, like we say
all the time, every Muhammad Ali needs their Joe Frasier, right,
everybody needs their Yankees for real, they need that to
get the best out of each other. That wore the
cola war is what made Coca Cola what it is today.
(08:54):
It's a monster and Pepsi's not too far behind. But yeah, myself,
you are a pepsi guy. Yeah, you're the choice of
You're the choice of the generation.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Hobvier.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I like the flavory. I like the Swiss, the sweeter.
It's a little sweeter than coke. I just like I
would lean that direction too, because I like diet pepsi.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I don't hate on pepsi.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But as far as branding, dude, look, if there's kitties watching,
if there's kitties listening, I should say ear muffs kitties
of the car.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I think we could talk around it. Yeah, really, I
think that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I'll just say that Coca Cola also responsible for some
of the greatest Christmas characters that we know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, some of the some.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of the colors that represent Christmas, and so they sort
of Shake Cola shaped the.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
World we live in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right, So on this day discontinued items a lah new Coke.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
New Coke came out April twenty third, nineteen eighty five. Wow.
Coca Cola said that they hoped it would be talked
about for generations to come, and this article says, well
they got their wish.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, we're talking about it today. So Crystal Pepsi new Coke.
I'll throw one out there and then we'll go to
the fall for me. We somehow mentioned Fat Albert and
Bill Cosby earlier in the show. My favorite ice cream treat.
When I was a kid, frozen food section of the supermarket.
I thought there was nothing better than a jell O
(10:15):
pudding pop.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They were so good, man.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They get a little icy too, a little bit he
bite the signs of them. There was something about a
pudding pop so good that was so good.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
They really were.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Why did they get rid of them? Bill Cosby was
the spokesman at the time. General put them pups, but
they were great. I never understood why they went away.
I'm with you on that discontinued items. Let's go to
the phones because there's so many. We could talk about
this all day. I'm trying to think of one that
really broke my heart the most eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox, Who do we Got?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Do you want to start?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Let's say hi to Josh and Tennessee. Hey, Josh, thanks
for waiting. Everybody, We appreciate it. What's up, buddy? Hey?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
What comes to mind for you?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm kind of on the line with him on the
ice cream. Mine is a taco taco and whatever I
can find me or my wife can't find it, whatsoever.
And I was in love with it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That was in the past few years in fact. But
then it's only us to blame. And it's the twinkie theory,
right If you remember a few years ago, we've talked
about this many times. They were going to discontinue the
twinkie and everyone's like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And Rich and I. Rich was like, when's the last
time you bought a Twinkie? And you're like, well and forever, Well,
that's your fault.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Were you out there buying choco tacos because I love
them too, because what I hadn't bought any in a while.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
If you are not to blame, if you're.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Not buying Choco tacos on the regular, don't be mad
if they get discontinued.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I know, sometimes things I'm sorry, Sam, I was just
gonna say, sometimes things get discontinued when it seems like
they're a fan favorite, agreed, Like you see fast food
restaurants all the time. They'll bring something back for you know,
a limited time, and you're like, no, keep it on
your menu forever, Like we love that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Fighting now My wife is baffled how Taco Bell got
rid of the ste case a rito.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
She's like, oh, that was so good.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
She made you order it like on the app and
they took it off the menu.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, And I was like, what the heck? So you
guys also like it, Like my wife's like, it was
steak cheese on a in a burrito form, like.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You tell Casa in a burrito combine.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I thought it was great.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, I agree. See, I'll tell my wife. You guys
could order them together, Sam doing the app anything else?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Come to wut for you? Dan Bayer, I'm.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Having dja vous because I felt we've hit on a
little of this because I remember talking about outback steakhouses
tassie bites because.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
They were so delicious bringing them up. They were taking
it off.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
But it leads me to the point of my buddy
told me that I think Olive Garden maybe had a
spinach article choke dip or something like that that they
took off the menu because nobody else would order any
other appetizer, So they were losing money on all of
the other appetizers that were going to waste because everybody
was ordering that other stuff that that was his.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
No, I don't know that's real, and I'm not the
restaurant business.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I believe your friend.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm not Robert Irvine.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I'm not sure if that that works or not, but
that's what I was told.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Let's go to Wisconsin and talk to the Fats. The
Fats you're on with Kevin on Retchords Ubuddy sounds like
a perfect conversation for the Fats.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Hey, I'm a Catholic who grew up on Patsy.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's why they taste formula because they took the challenge.
You remember that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, yeah, Tepsi challenge.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
That's what it was all about.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I'll tell you what the thing nice. Discontinue the greatest
breakfast cereal of all time? Apple Jacks.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Wait a second, well, hold on, don't they live in
little variety packs?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
At least anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Apple Jacks are gone? Apple Jacks are gone. Don't they
come in those little packs? Are like fruit loops?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Do they only come in the tiny box?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah? They're just tiny? Hold look, that's crazy. If that's discontinued.
I know dunk Ruse were discontinued. I don't know if
they brought him back or not.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Let's say hi, to Mark in New Mexico. What's up, Mark?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Hey? What up? Mark?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Good man?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
What's up Hey? Something that broke my heart recently from
my childhood is when they discontinued one of the Little
Debbie cakes. You see, we weren't rich enough to get
the high end Hostess Twinkies and cupcakes and snowballs. We
had to settle for the lower level Little Debbie Cakes,
and they discontinued the Banana Twins.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Bro, as long as the cosmic Brownie is still out there,
you're okay.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Ore kasaic Brownie is still there. I see it at
the same as all that's alive, You're good.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
By the way, Internet's saying, Applejack's cereals still available, it's
by Kellogg's and it's still out there. Maybe this gentleman
in his neck of the woods they don't have to.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's yeah, that's possible, but yeah, I'm pretty sure. But
you only see it in those little variety packs. Yeah,
Apple Jackson, that's real, old school man. That is hard
to find. And I only know because oddly enough, my
wife recently got them and I questioned the move.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Like, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
A lot of these things go away, but they do
come back, Like if you're a count Jocula and Frankenberry,
and you know, Booberry went away for a long time,
but then all of a sudden he comes back out
of nowhere. You're like, oh, I guess maybe for Halloween
or something. But I did discontinue it at one point.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Can I give you guys a dessert that I'm sure
you're gonna go down memory lane with me on deep
The og apple pie from McDonald's, Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Dude, like extra Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It was so hot it could burn a hole in
your cheek. And at first they changed it, which stunk,
and then it's off. I think it's off the menu
altogether now if.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I mistake and they never brought back the og one
that was so good.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Speaking of McDonald's, who is synonymous with Coca Cola, if
you think it tastes different at McDonald's, it does. You know,
McDonald's and Coca Cola have an agreement where the syrup
carbonation ratio is different to McDonald's than anywhere else. So
there's people that like they store it differently. I'm pressure, yeah, pressure,
and the syrup ratio. So when people say nothing better
than like a fountain coke for McDonald's, it is different.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That is a fact.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And speaking of McDonald's and the apple pie. On every
list you look up, like favorite discontinued food from McDonald's,
one that comes up on every list is coming back
this this summer and that's a McDonald's snack wrap.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Those snack they're coming back this summer.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
You know what McDonald's they did briefly, I think in
the eighties was they made pizza. McDonald's made pizza.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You know what our video guy spot always brings up.
He goes, you know what, I loved the Arch Deluxe.
Does anyone remember the Arch Deluxe vaguely at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, that was that was a big one.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Hey, speaking of Coca Cola and again new Coke, do
you guys remember your parents when they were trying to
stay healthy, they would drink tab Yes, Yeah, because I
am I'm pretty certain it's discontinued.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
To pay for it now? Yeah, can I have order
something if you want.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
To take exactly? It only lives in back to the
future reference and the jerk.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That's it. That's so funny.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Tab.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Let's say, hi, we'll take one more on the one.
Move on, say how to trip our good pala in Vegas?
What's up trip trip?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Like I do?
Speaker 4 (16:54):
What's got the trip?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Like I do? What's up in?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
You took the first two.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I was gonna say putting Jellow pudding pops. I was
going to say Hostess products. But then the third one,
how about kudos?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, that was a big.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Deal in the eighties and nineties. I feel like kids
would always put those in their lunchbox. Codes are a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And uh, you know, since we're talking Colin, thank you trip,
You're the man, dude. Have a great, great well Mother's
Day weekend, and final talk to you. Well hopefully you're
listening tomorrow. You're making me think of other like Surge.
Remember that green drink Serge.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I think it had extra caffeine.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, that's so. It was like a weird soda.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And then of course the Soby rage and nan Nantucket
nectars even exist?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I think Nantuck does Soby does not exist?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Does I have two in my mind? Does Jolt Cola
still exist?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I haven't seen it? Remember jolts?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, novelty item Now they might have.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Those, you know those boxes where you could buy olds.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Being Jolt Calos being re launched in twenty twenty five.
This is what the wow interwebs. That's what the kids need. Yeah,
remember code red? Yes, oh yeah, that's good. They're calling
it red con one. Is Jolt Cola? Okay, red con one?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, sorry, red con one. I'm trying to think of
any other any other treats. Yeah, I'll give you one.
I don't even know. I don't know if I even
though the name of a lot of the good humor
stuff we grew up with is gone, like Bubbalo Bill
and Fat Frog and things like that. Let's you know,
let's go to Alaska real quick, Steve, you're on. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Hey, guys, tell you doing We're good man.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah, you guys just took the words right out of
my mouth. I was not ready to say the joke. Cola.
We used to drink that back in the eighties when
I worked the graveyard ship at the post office.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, that was the extra sugary caffeinated with the lightning
bolt on it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Let me let me kick one more at you and Danny.
I'm gonna give you Sam.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You might be a little young you're a couple years
younger than us, but if you were kid of the
eighties and nineties, I'm gonna give you a cookie that
I feel like was in your your parents' cabinets. Look
up Giggles. They were like bootleg oreos, but they had
smiley faces.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
They don't exist anywhere the Oh yeah, I totally remember those.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, you remember Giggles, especially the ones with the chocolate
covering on the other. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So think about it if you want to talk about it.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox again, it's what's
the actual title of the Coke Day?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Share it? What is it? It's a have a Coke,
Have a Coke Day?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
National have a Coke Day in eighteen eighty six, and
they're only missed. I'm sure there's more, but their biggest
misstep is new Coke and was discontinued.

McDonald out to each other, when you get a McDonald's
and a Burger King, or you know, a pepsi and
a coke. Every industry needs an opponent toys, same thing
like you need an opponent. Got bots needed transformers, like
you need someone to motivate you. And you see that
in sports and you see it in life. Yeah, we

discontinued items that the National have a Coke Day got
us thinking that they're only missed up.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That you could maybe say.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Is when they decided to go with new coke when
we were kids in the eighties, the bad idea backfire.
They then said, oh, classic Coca cola, and then they
were back to normal. But everyone has a misstep, you
know what you always We've talked about this in the past.
I've been hanging with Rich forever. I know the things
you always bring up, those putting pudding pies. Yeah, yeah,
(24:15):
they they always they still have, like the cherry and
apple one. But I usedill love the vanilla pudding pie,
the chocolate pudding pie, eight and fifty calories in one
of those bad boys. When you were a kid, you
didn't care. Dude, you were sitting here, like the sugary
glazed hard shell. Remember they made a Ninja turtle one
and had u it was vanilla pudding. But they died
at green Oh, I'm sure that was healthy when we
were kids. Remember Teddy Grams. I remember the song Joe's
(24:40):
well to have those two?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, then dude, they're gone. Let's go rapid fire.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
What discontinued item reminds you of your childhood that you
loved again? The league leader by far the number one
answer any list you look up on social media, Reddit,
anywhere online, BuzzFeed, the pudding pop and it makes you
wonder why no ice cream company has said, hey, Jello,
let's partner up.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Clearly, I can still taste a piece of wood at
the end.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
The reason.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Can I actually ask you guys a kind of an
offshoot question, did you grow up with the very Okay,
I'm all right now, emotional or yes both. Actually, did
you grow up with a very cheap but very good
dessert when you're a kid of the jello chocolate pudding
in a pie crust like in the Graham cracker crust.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Of course for every holiday when you'll make a pudding pie. Oh,
it's so good.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
You put them in the fridge and it would kind
of solidify, of course, and then you put so affordable
ready whip on top. Oh man, what I haven't had
that in years?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Come over my house?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yes, please?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Are you sure you're gonna write them? I was?
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I was Sam, Xavier wants some chocolate pudding pie.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You got it? Javier? I was Sam's confirmation named Javier.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
But Heyavier, Iowa, Iowa.
Speaker 3 (26:00):

But you know you look like such a Javier. I
really do you know? I'm Sam.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I'm one of those blonde Spaniards.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm serious when I say this. He wears Javier Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
If you go to someone's house on Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving,
someone makes a pudding pie, it's gonna go before someone's
homemade apple pie with out of that, it's a no fail.
It's great, so good, all right, rapid fire David and Reno.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (26:26):

What's up?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I got two things, Zema beer and low and Brown.
Can't find either one of them anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Zeema was such a big thing for all. They made
a little comeback years ago, but it never caught on.
But they did try to like relaunch Zema. That was
your it was something different.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, yeah, Zema basically today is the white claw. You know,
it's just it's just a seltzer with alcohol.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Zema was like.

What about the zebra striped gum?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You could eat the wrapper fruit stripe?
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Man, that's so sad that they discontinued, just went actually
discontinued this year.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I read fruit Strive. I was like fifteen seconds of greatness.
Fruit stripe was the gum your grandmother had. If I
would go to my grandma's house, she would have fruit
strip gum. And you remember blackjack gum. It was licorice flavored,
like that's like old people, gum. What did you do
with the rappers of fruit stripe? They were tattoos, remember,
oh yes, and they would wash away with like a
within a day. Yeah, I dude, fifteen seconds of intensity
(27:34):
of awesomeness.

But after that you were, hey, talked about your night
last night with your wife girlfriend?

metal foil anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
And the Jeff Peanut Butter cookie.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Jeff Peanut butter cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And I think I remember the weird Al Yankovic video
for I'm Fat and they're like, ding dong, man, ding
you know you ain't fat, you ain't nothing because he
didn't want to eat the ding dongs anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Gain, Let's go to justin Northern Cali. What's up? Justin?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Hey? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
First off, I want to say they definitely still have
Apple Jacks.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, we corrected that.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Okay. The one drink that I wish they would bring back,
granted I was thirteen or fourteen when I loved it
was Pepsi blue.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah. That That's been on a couple of list times.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I've been looking at Pepsi blue as a thing for
a second, don't know one.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, you know what, I haven't needed the money.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Oh you know, I haven't. I haven't really f'd with
those machines much. But some of those you go to,
like a good Burger place or the movie theater. Damn,
your kids could grab a cup and make every flakes.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
With that drink. Scared of it?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
How does that matter? Dude?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
You're not like Mixmester Mike. We're just scared to step

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Budh big fan? Guys can't waiting in June. I know
you guys mentioned the fight apple Pie and McDonald's and

No, and we're gonna get to that in a second.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I have one last thought though, if we could go
round the room and then go to Dan Buyer's update.
Is there an old school treat that if you just
say it, you could almost visually like taste it or
just even the texture. I saw some kid on social
media and he was talking about how his dad's still
obsessed with eating devil dogs chokers, And if you say
a devil dog, can't you just in your mind picture
(30:35):
that it was so good? But you'd be like, because
it devil dogs? Did your family house devil dogs? Oh yeah,
Drake's cakes, dude, all day, my dad sold them in
his vending machines. I lived off of Yankee doodles and
devil ducks. I didn't realize he was in the pastry
game before wrapping. Yeah Drake, Yeah, oh yeah, Drake's cakes. No,
(30:58):
but I'm not even kidding. My dad, for I mean,
for anyone who cares, was a vendor. That was what
he did. That was the family income, his own business.
And Drake's cakes were all over my house, my whole life.
So yeah, we lived on devil dogs and all that stuff.
All right, Well, hey, hopefully you enjoyed reminiscing with us.
Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update. Dbebe, what's up.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
I still reminisce about the taste because it's different now
of the Domino's pizza When it opened up in our hometown.
We talked a lot about Pizza Hutt and memories. I
remember when we came minutes or let there, yes, and
you would time them. A small town, we didn't have
a We had a KFC, We had a pizza Hut
and a dairy Queen that was opened from April to October.
But other than that, than when Hardy's came into town,
(31:38):
it was a big deal. But Dominoes, they brought it
to your door.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
There was a There was a different taste to it
that I can still taste to this day.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Wish wish we could have that back.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Warriors and Timberwolves play game too tonight eight thirty Eastern Time.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Warriors up one.
Speaker 7 (31:53):

(32:56):
the Golden Knights at nine thirty Eastern guys back to you.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Thank you, dB and by that's sad to hear about
chet Lemons. It is just one of those names you
knew synonymous with Detroit growing up. Yeah, that Lew Whitakers
and Alan Trammels and all those dudes. For sure, sixteen
years in the Bigs. Let's see career average two seventy three.
It sounds about right. Two seventy three nowadays is like
three hundred and two fifteen career home runs. But definitely
(33:21):
one of those names. You also played seven years with
the White Sox, but I think of them as a
Tiger me too, chet Lemon on the road again? Was
it White Sox and Tigers anyone else? Yep, No, that's it.
I think he played for two teams. Yeah, team guy,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Nine years.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, he ended with Detroit in nineteen ninety. But definitely
one of those dudes you remember from like RBI baseball
and Harris, you know, collecting baseball cards and watching them.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Play, No doubt, Hey, rest in peace. I listen to
NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
There there's such a vibe I'm guessing in the East
Coast right now on the.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
East Coast, New York City. Game three when they go
back I'm walking in again my thicket.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
When they go back to Madison Square Garden on Saturday
game three, let's talk about that. Tickets, and that's the
afternoon game, by the way, so we'll get to that
next right here, Covin on Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,
some old school throwback. STP one of my all time favorites.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I have a theory Nirvana changed the game, right. We
know that I love Nirvana, but when it goes song
for song, I think STP has more songs than any
of those bands of the nineties song for song, like.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, I love that song, love this song, love that song.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
With that, I'm telling you he's playing Wicked Garden if
you're listening to the podcast and you'll hear it, but
good choice. Iowa Samuel Covino and Rich the Radio Musical
on Fox Sports Radio live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
For sure to check out the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel.
Search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube and watch all the
video highlights. And remember, in about eleven minutes we go
(35:05):
live on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page for over promised
episode ninety one. We're gonna talk about home runs. There's
a new home run stat in the works. We're gonna
talk home runs. I got my own theory on home runs. Okay,
where we're gonna talk a little. There's a new updated
one gorilla versus one hundred people debate, there's a new yeah,
(35:25):
I got We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Put that to rest.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
We got lots to talk about and over promised our
bonus podcast because we ran out of time today having fun.
You know when you talk about music and you said, oh,
Carino Rich, you know the Fox Sports Radio Radio musical, Well.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
You and I always thought they went hand in hand.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I never understood people that didn't think they went hand
in hand. And when we linked up with Danny G
as our producer, one of the commonalities we had was
Danny G was a sports fanatic, But Danny G knew
as much about music as anyone of this hit and
everything else. Danny doesn't it boggle your mind when you
meet someone that doesn't know the other.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Yeah, they're like an Aley.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Like, wait, so you no music?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Real, dude, you play, you play guitar and love music,
but you know nothing about sports. And then on the
flip side, you love sports, but you can't name who
sings that song.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Like, I never got that. Like, to me, music and
sports so.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Many of us growing up. Yeah, the two things crossed
each other when.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The guys play in the locker room, in the clubhouse.
What do you hear at a stadium? Guys worry about
what their walk up music is? What's their hype up music?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
An athlete, a star athlete? What did he secretly always
want to be a star rapper? What is the star
rapper secret secretly wanted?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Athletes?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Star wide receiver, quarterback?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
So to me, it's a weird thing. Yeah, we're here
to say that they go hand in hand. I never
understood it. I never will the same way I never
understand understood how back in the day, if you were
in like the drama club in school, that was like nerdy,
yet we glamorized and loved actors and actresses. It's like, well,
where do you think they start? It's hard, it's hard
to even like for me to pick what I like.
(36:57):
More like, I don't know, I don't know. I like sports,
sports and music.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
What do I like?
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Betters a tie. I'm a bigger sports fan of the music.
But then again, you are way more passionate about music.
Hey maybe, but it's it's the say it's close, dude,
I don't know. So thank you guys for hanging out
with us before we go. We promised us and we
got to mention it. The Knicks play on Saturday afternoon.
I mean, what a series Celtics bringing it back to
(37:21):
the Garden. What you know, how pumped they I think
they lost just already. I know they're their favorite win
and favorite to win, but they're going into the most
rowdy environment.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
They got a bunch of the Knicks. Baby, Yeah, they're
gonna be to go down there and lose.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, we're walking khakis going to the God and Yeah
in New York, Knicks, get your Kaki's.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
We're driving down you know.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Pumped the Knicks fans are going to be. I just
think they're walking into an electric environment. The Garden's gonna
be ready. But here's the thing. Everybody's trying to get there,
and the tickets right now is low as six hundred
and thirty four. That's your your cheapest nosebleed is six
to seven hundo. So I want to pose this question
to you guys. The Knicks haven't been in it at
(38:08):
this level in a minute. So I could see where
if you got kids, or if you want to go
with a date and yeah, yo, let's let's do it up,
going and get some coffee and some Knicks tickets. Ay
Le's about the Knicks in New York. Le's about this
game in particular. But have you ever tried this little deal?
Because someone mentioned this. Have you ever gone to a
(38:29):
stadium or an arena waited fifteen minutes after the game
started and then go on like secondary ticket apps and
go into the game late or do you have no
interest in doing that? Like what if I told you, yeah,
go to a Mets player, go to a Dodger's playoff game,
but uh, in the third inning?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Like tickets of fifty.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Bucks When you say that, I'm not judging right, but
I think that's that's a young man's game, Like if
I would have done that my twenties each.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
But that's what I'm saying. Yeah, maybe for a young man.
I'm at it down.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
If you're a younger dude, and honestly you have no responsibilities,
You're trying to get in there. Yeah, you can wait
around all day and just get in and say you
were there.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Oh, because as an adult, you don't want to leave
things a chance.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
No, No, that's what I'm saying, Like there are sometimes
I used.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
To do that at Yankee Stadium when I was when
I was in my twenties.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
What I'm saying if you're a young dude in New
York for this example, or hey, you want you want
to see a game in the Bay Area, Golden State
and you're saying to yourself, I can't really afford what
these ticket prices are. Is there any shame in the
game of like, I'm gonna hang around the stadium until
things start and then you know, because you see that happen.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Like, let me ask you, guys, you're both from the
East coast. If the Knicks advance, what's it going to
start looking like? Because we're right, God, Jeep's right now,
six hundred, we're not to the conference finals.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
She double that at least at least for now.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Nicks haven't made it to the NBA finals in the
twenty first century, right, they lost to the Spurs and
then before that OJ was in a car chase.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I mean, it's been a minute, and you earlier on
the show, you guys called the Garden electric. What comes
to mind and YouTube this? If you didn't see or
you have never seen this Larry Johnson's famous four point
play to come back and beat the Pacers in the
ninety nine Eastern Conference Finals. It was like an earthquake
happened in New York. You see, the cameras can't stay still.
(40:13):
Really the crowd all erupts and stands up at the
same time and lose their you know what minds. It's crazy,
that's what they've been winning.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I'm not counting out the calves, but I think it
would be such a throwback to our old school MBA
days if the Eastern Conference Finals were the Pacers and Knicks.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
