Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, thanks for listening to the best of Cabino and
Rich podcast. Be sure to catch us live every day
from five to seven pm the eastern two to four
pacifics on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Find your local stations for Cavino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every day.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR. Your pacers
are up two games to one, one sixteen, one oh seven.
Who's the saddest guy in all the land?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Today? Who? Jay Z? I don't care? Oh but he
bet a million? Yeah, but you keep talking about it.
Couldn't care. I'm not saying it's not news.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I'm just saying I feel zero sympathy at all for
that guy. I didn't say. I didn't say you should
be all bent about it. But I'm saying jay Z
was so good you want to bet.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, you would have bet a million dollars beat it.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
I'm glad he's losing. And it's like you drop in
one hundred.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, you're you're so confident that you bet a
million on thunder and five and then just like that,
three games in, your BET's done and is such a battle.
Like I said, it came down to the fourth quarter,
very close game until the Pacers problem solve, figured it out,
made their shots, played good, d turned it around, pulled
away with it in the fourth quarter. It's been so

(01:18):
back and forth that every time a team loses, the
next team wins. So based on this pattern, and it's
been the same for both teams throughout the postseason, throughout
the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Okayc wins the next game. You follow that pattern, Indiana
Pacers win this and maybe Danny g is right all along.
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Let me throw this out I had written down first hour.
Are jay z sympathies? Okay, no, no, no, no, it's a
fund bit of information. But if you think I care
at all, and I'm a jay Z fan, I'm not
saying that he stinks or anything like that. But you
want to blow money and risk money like that, you
deserve to lose. Yeah, losing that bet is like betting

(01:55):
the under. And if you're a football gambler, you know
this failing. You bet the under and it's like twenty
one ten in the first quarter and you're like, you got.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
This ain't gonna work. You know.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The secret weapon for the Pacers Iowa Sam you're gonna
like this stat the Pacers playoff record with Caitlyn Clark
in attendance eight.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
No, they finally won a game three too.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, their series finally won one.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
So maybe she is the good luck Charmiowa. Sam, You're
onto something there.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I think so. Man, so a big night for the Pacers,
and man, just okay, see was.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
So dominant all season long, SGA MVP, you're thinking that
they got this easy, and it doesn't look that way
as of now, but hey, we'll see. Please, if you
don't think that Okac comes back in game four ties
it up, Listen, there might be I.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Think they will.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
There might be all these Jabbronis that are like Swollborg team.
This is gonna go seven and we are gonna get
some thrills. There's no way one of these teams just
closes it out because of anything. You imagine that the
thunder will find the way. SGA didn't have a great game.
They just and the bench won that game for the Pacers. So,
and we said it from the start. Yes, small market

(03:11):
team might equal bad ratings for the NBA, but it
doesn't mean we're not going to have a battle for
the real fans actually, Karen want to tune in. So
that's what we're getting so far. I'm digging it. And
that's the misconception. I saw someone hit us up on
Twitter yesterday with that same dumb debates and that we
were insinuating it's not a good Finals because of the

(03:33):
small market teams. No, no, we've never said that. What
we've said is the networks don't like it, but the
true NBA basketball fans are going to get.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
A great series.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Before the Finals started, we pointed out it was a
great matchup. Yeah, it's I was and I thought it
was going to be fast paced and a lot of
energy on the floor, and that's what we've got.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I just pointed out that who cares about the networks,
but they're the ones that are like, oh no, I'm
in Oklahoma. One thing Jason McIntyre said on The Herd,
it's the lack of star power where the casual fans
sort of tune out. Therefore, and so we'll market Therefore,
the ratings will be down, but we're really great NBA Finals.

(04:12):
You could argue that SGA doesn't appear to be the
guy that carries that Lebron Steph Curry Torch because if
he were, then we'd be excited about the beginning of
a of a dynasty right now, Dann Bayer.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
And guys, just just a heads up with that. Cavino
could have referenced me saying it on his own show yesterday,
but he chose to use Jason McIntire on a completely
different show on Fox Sports. You know what your cavin Yeah,
well we'll see.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Not not so sure, Dan, consider it me keeping you
on your toes. I is that what it is? Oh man?

Speaker 4 (04:46):
You know, I remember Mike Harmon always telling me how
his dad always said.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Step kissing is.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weeknights on Fox Sports
Radio seven Pacific.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'm just making sure you were listening. So that's okay.
He's testing you, Dan, he's testing you. You're right, it is.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's a lack of star power, but guys like Hallan
Burton are stepping up. There are bench players like you
said that are stepping up. You're still gonna get a battle,
so don't be sleeping on it. And again, hope you
had a PACER's night. They're up two to one and
then you got your game four on Friday in Game
four NHL Tonight, Well, Stanley Cup again, another series that
could be tied up at the end of tonight. That's

(05:27):
two to one right now, we'll see what happens. I
do have to selfishly check in with my guy, Dan Byer.
He's slowly becoming a Rich Davis guy. I can tell
how's How's my dude code saying is hamstring.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So this is all that we know.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
MRI scheduled for tomorrow after injuring it today in a
game that they almost gave away after his injury.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, the Mets are hot. They won six in zwo
best record in baseball.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
And I hate Soto heating up. I hate it. I
could see it Sodo. He's got that looking guy. I
hate him.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Give you don't hate Soto so because you could feel
it it happening you, just as a Yankees fans sitting
there watching like, oh no, here, I'll tell you he's
doing for the Mets. That thing he did that I
admired so much when he was on your Yankees where
he swings through a pitch, looks at the pitcher and
he gives him a okay, like I figured you out.
And the next coach hits a rocket. I remember him

(06:19):
doing that on the Yankees in the postseason last year, saying, Yo,
that is ridiculous. But you know what that ties into
what we're saying about the Pacers and the magic that
they're finding able to figure it out, like oh okay.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I got you now.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
And that's what Soto's saying to the picture in that moment,
and that's what the Pacers are able to do. They're
able to adjust and make the changes to be like,
you know what, we figured it out, We got it now,
we're gonna win and we've seen that. Man, that's been
the difference. And it's working for your boy Wan Soto
too right now. Well, he is click and it's clicking.
I'm gonna credit our very own damn Buyer. I'm not gonna,
you know, shout out another show like you because I

(06:53):
respect Dan Byer, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
But it was just Dan yesterday who said, Rich.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
A plethora of starting pitching can not be a bad
thing for your team, Because I said, the Mets got
guys like Frankie Mantas and Manaya coming back, where are
they gonna make room? Hey, listen, if Senga knock on
Whato hopefully has like a mild hamstrain hamstring strain. You
miss a starter or two, you put in Blackburn or
Mantes when he comes back. So I think this is
where you see that depth is never a bad thing,

(07:19):
especially in starting.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
It will be an eye Ale stint, yeah for sure,
but just how long we don't know yet.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's two weeks and he misses two to three starts. Hey, listen,
he has a league leading one point four to seven ERA,
So Senga's health down the line way more important than
rushing him back, especially when the Mets have again a
pretty decent depth at the starting pitching position. And you
know what, could you know? On top of all that,
there are rumors that come trade deadline, it could be

(07:47):
your Yankees or my Mets that bring Jacob de Ground
back to New York. Have you seen those rumors?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah? I mean it could happen.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I'll say this as much as I want to hate
on your Yankees in a playoff series, if you had
Max Freed and Jacob de Gram won two punch, you.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Know what, I give that a James Hetfield.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh yeah, imagine if you had Garrett Cole too, But
then again, he's not a big playoff guy.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
He has stumbled in the playoffs, but this might be
his chance to show that he's got it.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
He could earn that ring because Rich's biggest criticism about
the Grams he left the Mets to win with the Rangers,
but he really didn't play with the Rangers. No, I'm
saying the gram is a big game pitcher. Garrett Cole.
Oh Cole, Yeah, yeah, he hasn't been. So I'm saying,
when you lost Cole, a lot of people said, well,
how can the Yankees. They're gonna win ninety games, they'll

(08:39):
make the playoffs. But the Yankees got to do something
to make fact that they lost Garrett Cole. Except big
moves don't come cheap, so you might have to lose
a Jason Dominguez or something like that, a high young
prospect or Well, if you don't know what I'm talking about,
I'll wrap up the baseball talk quick with Earlier today,
the Mets continued there they're winning ways and on a

(09:02):
groundball to first base, Kde senga Mets ace Cy Young
Level candidate this year, runs over to first base to
cover Pete Alonzo, who's been errant with his throws here
and there. You saw it against your Yankees. Yeah, he
tosses the ball a little high to Senga and you
see him over extend the leg and he comes down
and starts rolling on the floor, and it's like, oh, no, scaring,

(09:26):
come on. He walks off the field. So they're hoping
it's just mild, but yet happens all the time in sports.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
You just help you up depth, all.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Right, speaking of baseball, and it's not just baseball. This
applies to all of sports, but especially baseball because baseball
is the longest schedule.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
There was an article from the Athletic New York Times
dot com Athletic about how one hundred and thirty ballplayers
were interviewed and surveyed, and he went over the misconcep sions.
That's the real pronunciation. I never get surveyed. Have you
ever been surveyed? Never?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Has anyone ever come up to you and said, survey
says minus Rich Davis family feud ratings, TV radio. Has
anyone ever surveyed you politics? You know they'd be like,
this guy's leading in the political polls.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
No one's asked me, crap I.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Only skipped surveys. Would you like to skip survey. Yes,
if I know it was for family feud, it'd be like,
sign me up.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know that's true, right, you do skip it? So
that's probably yeah, you probably are asked rich But anyway, yeah, man, that's.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
What all those Netflix and YouTube things, they're actually for
family feud and we're just skipping them.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Damn. Yeah, man, I never surveys. Survey says, well, could
you know?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Survey says there's a lot of ballplayers out there that
are saying there's a lot of misconceptions of what it's
like to be a big leaguer. Now again, if you're
not a baseball fan, it doesn't matter because this applies
to all professional sports. And my question right off the
gate is do you feel bad for them?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Love? It's kind of hard to have sympathy.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Goes back to the jay Z thing when these guys
are making millions of dollars in living the dream.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
All professional sports you include hot dog eating or now
of course, yeah, make sure if I could put Joey
Chesnut in this conversation.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I mean, of course, it's the tough side of sports.
That's basically what they're talking about in this new article.
The challenges and the misconceptions of what it's like to
be a big leaguer. Many baseball players can recognize the
privilege that they have of playing the sport for a living,
but every job, your job.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
People in the.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
NBA, NFL, and EHL, MLB has its share of challenges.
Our life is awesome, but it's not as easy as
people think it is. Yeah, money and celebrity and hitting
home runs and playing a kids game. It's fun, but
it's not all it's cut out to be. That's what
they're saying, And they go over some of the things

(11:56):
that some people sometimes forget about. And I'm wondering, again,
do you feel bad? Do you keep these things in mind?
Or do you not care at all? Get out there
and play, and get out there and win because you're
compensated fairly for it.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Look at it this way.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
The other day, I forgot what the conversation was because
we talk about a million things every day. We're the
most not only interactive, but we cover so much in
this two hour span. The other day, we were just
talking about how no matter what your job is, you're
gonna have moments where it sucks. Remember, I even reference
like you could be an adult film star and be like, man,
today I gotta go and so me and four women.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
There's even dudes in the adult industry that are like, man,
I hate my job today. No matter what you do.
You could be a starting quarterback in the NFL, and
there's days we're like, man, just stink sayings. Dude, you're
a quarter hat.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
That's life, right, But their life is not all sunshine
and rainbows. As the great Rocky Bilboa said, I mean, dude,
think about presidents of the United States. You talk about,
is there any more of an honor than being the president?
And you always see those before and after pictures of Obama, Clinton, Bush,
and Trump? Like you age four years later, you look

(13:07):
like old man clements anytime they they often compare like
manager of the Yankees the same way too. I mean,
any coach, sure, big league manager. It's highly stressful. You're
putting wear and tear and age on your body, dealing
with the media, dealing with the day to day grind.

(13:28):
So the athletic covers MLB players and the biggest misconceptions
about travel and missing family events. Now, Danny g sam
byer Rich, this whole thing was done anonymously, though I
don't know how you feel about that.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I like it. You like that.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I like it because people will not be scared to
give a real answer, because if let's say Bryce Harper
or Mike Trout or Pete A. Lonzo or some big
star said something, you might be like, oh you okay,
cry baby. I bet you want Sotos at all of
this stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
That's you love one.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
So I could were here, but I miss my family.
I bet just Soto said all this t that's my guests.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I feel like, before we even get into this, I'm
gonna have way more sympathy. Okay, So because you're a
like work, work, work type of guy, I'll give you
some of the examples.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, you gotta keep in mind, Rich, they're playing a
kid's game. They're living the dream. These are the players
blessed from the gods that actually made it. Every young
boy all over the world, especially here in America, pick
up a bat and like, you know what, even before
you have the stupid thought.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Of I'm gonna be an astronaut, you're like, I'm gonna
play in the big leagues. I'm gonna be a fireman.
I'm gonna play in the NFL. They're living the dream
and they're getting paid millions of dollars, women, celebrity mansions,
fast cars, they got it all.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
But they're saying there is a tough side. And one
of the things that comes up is, Dude, I missed
my mind. I miss seveneventeen birthdays in a row. I
didn't even get to celebrate with my mom. Missed his
family's birthday seventeen years in a row, was one of
the stories. And forget about your mom, even though time
with your mom and dad is limited, and that's important.

(15:12):
Part of that is missing your own kids' birthdays and
missing them grow up. So that's that's a big big
factor for all professional sports because you're traveling.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
All the time. And that's another thing. The travel.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
There seems to be a giant misconception of yeah, they
got on a plane, whoop dee do. But the wear
and tear that it takes on your body to recover,
the packing up every week that no one ever factors in.
And when you think about what a dragon is to
pack up, Like even if you're going to the sweetest destination,
you know you put off packing to the last minute
because it sucks.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
They have to do that every basically every other week.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, if not every week, so traveling, packing up, missing birthdays,
the feeling of they're letting he pulled down.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
This was another big one too. They see their time
is so limited.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
It's like they gotta get out there, take some batting practice.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
They see these kids and they want.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
To sign autographs and everything, but you know what, they
gotta get out, They gotta get ready, they gotta pack,
they gotta get on a flight, they got to get
into the clubhouse and get ready. They don't have time
for all that. So they feel like they're letting kids
down all the time. They come across as arrogant, and
that's never how they want to be perceived, but that's
how they are left feeling, and that's how people talk
about them on social media, which is a whole other

(16:30):
aspect of the misconceptions and downside of everything that we
seem to glorify. I saw something in this athletic article
that hit me, which was, yeah, you missed some birthdays
and events for your kids. One of the anonymous players
said he hasn't been to the wedding of a family
member or friend in a decade because weddings are always

(16:52):
usually what spring and summer or fall weekends and if
you're playing and your team makes the postseason, you're not
going to a wedding. You You are missing every wedding
unless it's in a little couple month windows, because there.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Might be a good thing. Been to some weddings where
you didn't want to be there. I don't want to
do to disappoint that. I'm a huge wedding fan. I
love going to wed That's not surprised me.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Rich shows off as electric slide.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
I love drinking, I love dancing, I love seeing love
high love a wedding. Well, speaking of summers, Rich, when
these weddings go down anonymously, of course, I haven't had
a summer since I was.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Eight or nine years old. Think about that.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Now, Okay to say that yet that that's a big one.
You haven't had a summer since you were eight or nine.
But you have probably some sort of.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Built in pull, some sort of grotto, probably in your
own backyard that you know, diving off of. I'm sure
you're able to use it from here, here and there, dude,
I mean, can we go back to the travel really quick?

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, they're saying anyway more grind than we could ever imagine.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
I understand that it takes some out of you to travel,
but I feel bad for players way back in the
day who traveled commercial, who traveled on broken down buses.
Nowadays they are in the lap of luxury. These teams
really take good care of them. And in your life
as a famous athlete, you have a lot of people
trying to help you. Like if you watch The Starting
Five on Netflix, Anthony Edwards, his uncle did all of

(18:24):
his packing for him for every trip, and Anthony Edwards
threw him some money. He said every other week. He
gave him some money for helping out. These guys are
not doing this on their own. Some of them might be,
but a lot of them have the family support. Do
their wives have to grind and do a nine to
five like our wives do. I'm sure they're there to support.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Well, Dan, I'm glad you brought that up too, And
you're right, there's a flip side, right, hey man, you
got the money to make all these things happen. But
think of the pressure you're putting on your significant other
who signed up for this lifestyle, right, But that puts
a major strain on your relationship. So not only are
you missing out on time with your kids, major strain

(19:01):
on any relationship in your life. That's why I hate
to quote him, but he did it all right. He
did everything.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
There's more strain not having money to pay your bills
and your significant other having that trust.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
You know a lot of people say absence makes the
heart grow fonder. It sometimes makes the heart grow colder.
And that wife, that significant other starts getting bitter towards
you not being there, and she's picking up all the
slack while you're hitting home runs.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I agree, being.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Broke is worse than missing someone in so many cases.
But you know, the guy who had the greatest blueprint
to life, Derek Jeter, didn't get married, didn't have kids,
didn't do any of these things until his career was over.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
And as if I was a professional athlete, I think
I would wait as well.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
There's still other things to get to the downside. Because
we do we glorified every day. What are some of
those other things that maybe we have a misconception of.
It's all in this article from The Athletic, and we'll
get to it next I think about it, and I'm
going to read our feedback at Coveno and rich Well.
The question is do you have any sympathy I I do.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
I do.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I listen because I know it's a big thing to
say we'll put money aside, because money is such a
big part of it. It's like it's telling you to
put the biggest element aside. You know, put aside the
fifty million dollars you're making in the NBA. That's hard
to put aside. But being away from your family, that's
a price tag of its own right. It is, and

(20:24):
it's a sacrifice. I think, you know, the unsung heroes
are the guys that travel with these teams that aren't.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Paid that way podcasters do that.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I think about it all the time, Like, don't you
wonder how Michael Guys like Michael K have a life.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
We have a buddy that works with the WWA.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
We have friends that work for the NBA, or like baseball,
like Steve Gelbs and Gary Cohen and these guys that
they're going on every road. Tip to me, some of
those jobs seem so cool, Like, oh man, that must
be awesome. I don't think I would ever want to
do it. Yeah, you're sacrificing a lot.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah, And I don't think that ballplayers are the only
profession that travels. So like there's others that were see
and people are flying across country and doing this and that.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
People in sales, Yeah, and they're.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Making a fraction of the money right absolutely, and they're
not playing a kid's game.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
And they're doing it year round.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
And that's the one place where I have like sympathy
and empathy is where you just you don't get a
day like very rare, like you get a day off,
but that day off maybe like hey, we're traveling to
Baltimore because we got to start a three game set
at that point to sit there and always have to
be there and in baseball player mode for five straight

(21:31):
months or waiting up at least to the All Star breaks,
breaking in.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
The All Star breaks like three days. Yes, and we
make it seem like they got a month off. Damn
buyer again. Amazing point. And I'll tell you why you
can see nay because Dan's right.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
We we do our show here on Fox Sports Trading
on Friday. We don't do our other podcast on Fridays.
We have so sort of like a half day we
just do this show. Then we have Friday nights, Saturday Sunday,
and we some times like man, that wasn't enough to refresh.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Dan Buyer's right. A baseball player has a Monday or
Thursday off, but you know in that day is usually
spend a lot.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
There's a flip side. Like danyg pointed up before, they
also have youth on their side. So tell me when
you were in your early twenties in early thirties, in
the prime of your career, you weren't putting in the
extra work, the extra hours, the extra grind. It's kind
of what they're doing for the rest of their life
because they have the rest of their adult life to
sort of chill their careers over.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
At forty I traveled for college football early at my
time here at Fox Sports Radios, every weekend at a
different game and usually on the other side of the country.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
You're grinding it was, but it was every weekend.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
So I'd come back, fly back on a Sunday, leave
again on a Thursday, and it was the same way.
Circle through the one week where they're like, we do
we're not going to a game that weekend, We're not coming.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
It was amazing.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
It was like it was worth the world to not
just go on a plane that one weekend after doing
it for ten straight weeks.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I don't know if you've noticed because of our industry,
Dan Buyer, I'm sure you follow a lot of broadcasters
and your you know, acquaintances with folks that work for Fox, ESPN, NBC.
You you do notice that once the season ends, they
all go on like three week vacation with their with
their family.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Like you always see like.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Oh, there's Kevin Burkhard on a you know, on a
vacation for three weeks, or hey, there's this guy you
know why Covino. Because they put so much time in
that when that season ends, it's it's you know, they
have the only time of the year to do what
they want to do exactly, and there's more reasons that
you might feel a little bad for them or not

(23:34):
at all. Are you hearing wow, is that we're here
or are you saying, you know what?

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I never thought of it that way. I kind of understand.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
They also express that even when your family's in town,
they're there to support you, but you don't have time
for them because you're obligated to be there at practice,
Like your schedule doesn't align with everything they're doing. Your
hours are always off. And we can't forget the struggle
that they all put in just to be there with

(24:05):
the minor league salaries and things like that.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Can I give you the weakest mild comparison. Sure.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Next weekend we're going to be having a big event
in Vegas. The head count is getting a little out
of control. Keep them coming. I'm excited. This could be
our biggest party we've ever had. My wife's coming, bro,
all seven of my kids are coming, Danny. I I
already told my wife like, I'm probably not gonna talk
too much.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, we all have the divine because.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
We're going to be schmoozing and being thankful for the
listeners and support. So I said, honey, yeah, And so
it's like a wedding that's like a small microcosm of the.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
The what you still they still get to give you
a hug? What about our military?

Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's true. Yes, you don't get to go.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Visit your your mom or dad when they're in the military.
That's also chosen. There's no draft. They choose that life.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
You chose the professional sports life as well. How many
people in this country are checked to check? Right, So
a lot of people reading this and sevent percent of.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Us Yeah, so a lot of people are like, oh,
you didn't get to go to the wedding. Wow, And
I do sympathize with a lot of their schedule and
a lot of the struggles. It's gotta be tough, but
like Dany g said, they made that choice. They're living
that life. But please keep in mind too, the flip
side here is these dudes are done at forty something

(25:21):
years old. They got the rest of their life to
do everything else. That's not the case for the average
American person. You keep saying it like the rest of
your life is guaranteed, and oh, you're gonna live to
ninety and have a healthy lung, Which that's a better
you would this better lottery draw grab than what regular
people have, you know, to compare it to a celebrity couple.

(25:41):
That's why it was very talked about when Travis Kelcey
and Taylor Swift seem to go above and beyond to
be there for each other, which got a lot of
eye rolls, but a lot of attention because you know,
he's going to Japan showing up to a game. She
in between her tour stops are like, you know, I
don't I love this dude. She's thinking I got to
go see them and when you really think about those

(26:04):
two easy to mock. But that's what made them such
an interesting story last year.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I think the takeaway here is, yes, these guys are
living the life in all professional sports.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
They really are. They're living the dream. And they were
asked by the way, what the what the setback is?

Speaker 1 (26:21):
It's not all fun. It's not all sunshine and rainbows.
Not to repeat myself, but it's just not all glamour
and glitz. There's a lot of downside.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I would say it's like a movie set coveno, like
we put actors and actresses up on a pedestal. Yeah,
but there's so much downtime, you know, it's to hurry
up and wait life exactly. They're out on time with
the Yes, their lives are very interesting. We see the
finished product, right, but we're we're not there during the
grind of it all.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
So and truthfully, we don't care. So they have to
deal with that too. So nobody cares that. You know,
we play one hundred and sixty two games a year.
We don't, We really don't. But this article is trying
to express that, Hey man, it's not as easy as
we think. Yeah, let's go to my favorite news anchor.
Maybe not Covinos, Damn Bayer.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
What's going on? Man?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
When Manzi's here in an hour, I know that answer
may change, but since it's not here, I'll take it
right now.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Hey, look at the clock, it's time win fifty hits.
Let's go. There's a certain ya. What we gonna do
is go back back into time.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Throwing it back for a Thursday, Old School win fifty hits.
That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
and we reminisce together.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, we reminisce and we get you involved. Every Thursday,
old School win fifty hits on the clock with any
g this Thursday. It's like one line at a time, right.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, for sure, So your call is really gonna matter
this afternoon. Slash this and even got to make it
count because they're working on our phone system right now.
Only one of the lines is functioning at the moment.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Can we give incentive though, Like if you completely unlock a.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Memory and we're all like no, oh, man, I forgot
about that. How about we'll give you a swiggy if
you're able to do that? All right, I got the
mailing list right in front of me.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Perfect eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. Now,
you got to realize that this week out here in California.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, lots of protests and lots of.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Craziness, right, but school also wrapped up this week here
in La Fools, look at me, and school is pretty
much winding down for everyone else in this.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Country next Friday, the first official day of summer.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, kids are graduating out here in La. So we're
starting to think about school time and the end of
school and something that you would find in schools.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
In the eighties and nineties that you wouldn't find today.
That's the question.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
So think back, put yourself in your grade school, high
school classroom. Something that used to see there then that
you don't see now that your kid's like, I don't
know what you're talking about. So many things come to mind.
So I'm gonna give you one. I'll get the obvious
one out the gate, out the way. You think there's

(29:17):
a number one answer.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I mean one that you know you're just not seeing anymore.
You know what that is?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
That old ass TV with the VCR on that roller
and it was like had like a rope around it.
They always call this genius from the av club in
there and it has Yeah, it has that stupid rope
or that stupid heart. It's like a harness to keep
it on the stand, had wheels on. No one knows
how to really use it ever.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Or the teacher would pick two students to go wheel
it in.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah that's so funny, But I don't think that's the
number one answer. I think that's a great answer that
we all remember. And unfortunately that's how a lot of
us saw the Challenger. And yeah, you know, pivotal moments
nine to eleven for some younger kids, someone wheeled it
in that old ass TV wheeled in with the VCR
and again there was that like harn, this rope that
kept it all together.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I don't know what you're talking about, man.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
I think the number one answer on the board is
the shock you feel when you go to your kids
classroom for open house or whatever and you realize that
there's no more chalkboards. There's no more chalk or chalkboards.
You're like, you have dry erase boards.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
So what kid gets to go bang out to the erasers?
That feeling on your fingers.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
One your dad wouldn't appreciate it at the beginning, of the
school year, we got an email from the district saying
no more vending machines on campus.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Oh wow, something. We all lived off the vending machine
for sure.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
So things that you saw in schools in the classroom eighties,
nineties that aren't there anymore.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'll give you another one. I don't want to steal
anyone else's answer, but you know what I'll tell you next.
How about that I said chalkboards because everything's dry erase.
But I have another one.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
I think that that rivals, but I don't want to
give away anyone else's answer. Let's let's go to your feedback,
Danny G. Phones are hot, but again they're broken. So
I don't got the names, but I see them ringing, yes, sir.
Let's start with Milo and Bakersfield. Yeah, so breaking news.
Four of the lines now are functioning, yeah baby, plus.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Three five all right? Uh yeah, for some reason, some
of the lines are dark today. But Milo and Bakersfield.
Let's start off with you.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (31:18):
My low, Hey, big respect the CNR and the crew,
thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Thank you man. What's up?

Speaker 7 (31:24):
So you stole my answer with.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
The VCR combo cart. But the best thing about that
was then on day on a Friday, three day weekend,
we saw that in class. You knew it was gonna
be a chill day. Nowadays everything streaming, so you don't
don't win. The teachers are gonna throw anything up.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
You would try my hardest to not to like not
fall asleep while they were playing something on.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
On that But I got I got another answer, overhead projector.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
That was mine. Man, I'm glad I didn't say it.
I was thinking the same thing. What do they do now?
Just uh, it's all it's all computer screens, so you
just nicer projectors actually fit to the ceiling exactly. It's
you know, you know, usually projecting something off the computer,
mirroring your laptop on that screen.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Remember when Al Davis wheeled went out for his press
conference and people were like.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (32:11):
But ours had the same technology as like an old
school bowling alley kind.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
I remember they put this like like wax paper, what
do you even call that?

Speaker 1 (32:20):
That that transiency transparency paper with the this is mark
two sangle. This is an acute angle exactly those old
school overhead projector.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Hated when the teacher spent two hours doing that. Well,
I think we'll get hot too. I'm gonna say one
that No one's gonna say that old school pencil sharpener
from eighteen hundreds, that Ben Franklin style pencil. You got
that right? Pencils anymore? What No, kids don't.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Even write script their cursive anymore, but remember that old
it was like there probably for one hundred years.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
It was from like Walnut Grove.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
It was like Charles Ingles used that pencil sharpener and
you used the same one. What up, Dan Byer, I'll
tell you what, guys, there was one thing that I thought,
this may be a bit of stretching it. How about
actual students, Because when I was growing up, homeschooling was
so foreign. If there was a kid who was homeschooled,
he might also have been a Sasquatch.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
It's true because like you heard of him, you didn't know.
Maybe you saw him in town once, but he wasn't
within your friend group. He was just a kid that
was there trams. Schooling was so foreign, so to spin
it that way actual students now it is very common.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Really funny would say that because when I, you know,
coaches kids in Little League and pony ball, there's always
one or two kids on the team that are homeschooled,
and yeah, I don't think I.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Knew a homeschool Yeah you heard of one. Yes, his
mom gives him haircuts with a ball. He's very pale.
It doesn't step up, correct. I got were rare.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
It was like Bigfoot and dB During COVID, the kids
were all on zoom.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yes, nobody now it's normal. I got one that might
still be there because they never removed them. But you
don't see kids using him anymore.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
The old water fountain, because every kid has their water bottle,
bottle of water.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
I remember Jim at my Stanley, our gym teacher, how
you supposed to fill up the water unless you have
a founda.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm saying they have the like filter thing when you
like at the airport where you hold your water bottle.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
You have to sit there and line and wait and
line like oh, especially the machines that the fountains that
had like the engine in it that would cool the water,
make it really cold. House You're like, oh, this is
the best water I've ever had. Yeah, those are so
old school. It's funny would say that.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
A shout out to the late mister Frasca. We used
to we used to laugh out. He would let you
get a drink for the quickest three seconds.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah yeah, next like one two three, next meadhead, one
two three, next meadhead.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
And I'm thinking to myself, like, now we're like kids,
you got to hydrate back then if you.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Can I get a drink of water, You're like, no, exactly.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
The old water fountains are like old phone booth. Now,
like we do you know we have one here in
the hallway. No, obviously, no one ever uses I haven't
used that thing in years.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
I'm the only one that occasionally, on my way out,
we'll take a sip and it shoots to the ceiling.
It's not cool. Yeah, room temperature, it's awful. That's a
bidet bro oh. Yeah, someone's got to tell them that explained.
Brush your teeth, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
I think you know what.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
We're gonna go to phones again eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. But I just thought one, I'll unlock
the memory. I thought one that no one's gonna get Dad.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Who do we got? We got Danny? Who see? Let's
move on to Joe in Illinois. Hey Joey, what's up? Hey?

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Hey guys, how's it going up there?

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Commited what what do you what will you never see
in a classroom now that you saw in the eighties
or nineties.

Speaker 8 (35:45):
Well, do you remember the Earth globes? You know, the
big globe thing of the the Earth, the planet that
would spin around that have all the countries on it.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah, teacher would point to it with a big ruler
by globe.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Jut down globe like me, globy. I love how Joe
explained the globe like, I've never seen one. I know
it has the countries on it. He's like, you know,
the teacher with the nice globes. So I'm like, huh,
it's a globe. Yeah, who miss Leppy? Yeah, thank you buddy.
We got Danny. Before you go to the next one,
I'm gonna hit you up with one because I don't
know if anyone will say it.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
No, I got the best one. Do you remember that
long stick with the hook on it, you son of
a bee that would open like the high thought about that.
It's like they would call on you to open up
a window and you have to. It's again, it's something
designed by Ben Franklin, and you would take this early
eighteen hundreds pole. You have to put it in that

(36:41):
little loop to push the window open.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Rich you win a swiggy for that Ben Franklin pole.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
But you know it's funny, Danny. You guys are the
one that has a dent in it back.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
No air conditioning a lot of our schools. Danny, you
grew up on the West Coast. Here's Ben Franklin music
for you. Maybe a little you.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Up on the West Coast, Danny and the window a
can opener?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
What was that stupid thing called I'm gonna ask chat
ChiPT you right now. You guys grew up on the
West coast, Camnos a Jersey guy. I'm in New York, Eve.
You know what baffles me Sending my kids to school
out here in La. All the classrooms are like outside.
We only saw that, Danny modulars. We only know what
I'm saying. We only saw that. Yeah, we saw in

(37:26):
the movies, not even trailers. I'm saying, like my kids school,
the entrances to the classroom are out.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
I see what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
My elementary, middle school, high school was all like you
walk in the front doors of the building and everything
is interior.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
And some of your schools were stacked up. We have
three floors of the cinderblocks. Yeah, our schools were spread
out all one.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
No, we had three, three levels, but it was all
interior here in La My kids like they like eat
lunch outside. They walk into their classroom outdoors, like it's different.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
I only saw it on TV. All right, let's go
to who Danny? Who do we have? Let's talk to
your boy Trip in Vegas? Yeah? What up? Trip?

Speaker 7 (38:06):
Hello? Gentlemen, I got three But I want to say
one thing real quick to everybody listening. Do not think
you can't meet Rich and Cavino in the crowd. Please
come out. You guys waited one night for me just
to meet me an hour, so please everybody come see them.
They will spend time with everyone.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Thank you, buddy, the most interactive. We are so appreciative
of the listeners. This the head count's getting high. It's
going to be the biggest party that we've ever had
as a show. And we've been together a long time.
So I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Trip.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
All right, So here we go. One, someone go in
order the ten lunch box with the matching thermos. That
would break first day because it DENTI number two or three,
a floppy disc in the nineties that doesn't even go
and from the eighties, the number one thing you were
most scared of the paddle hanging on the wall.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
If you miss, there's no kick, there's no there's no sister.
Whoever had Catholic school hitting the kids with the ruler? No,
definitely not. He brought up a good one, though he
brought He brought up a couple of good ones. He
got me thinking of the library and microfiche. The kids
even know what microfiches, catalogs and all that.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I have never seen that in their life. No, anyway,
Danny g.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Remember that week ass work sited or bibiliography you'd have
to put together and you get all your sources at
the library decimal system. Please get add last time I
saw microfiche was probably on like Dexter or something.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
You know, Seriously, when's the last time you saw that?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
There's no way and trip made me think of when
he brought up the thermist and the lunch box that
we had growing up. I know exactly which ones he
was talking about.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
I did.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, I used to use that bad boy. But it
makes me think of the products that just really aren't
around anymore, like the trapper keepers that we often reference,
like I loved my apper keeper as an eighties kid.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
You're not seeing that anymore, not at all.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
All right, So things that you saw in the eighties
nineties classroom that you don't see anymore. Do kids still
rock the pencils where you could look like you're giving
yourself a needle? Yeah, they do. Those, you know pencils
that I get you would like to buy the lead for.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
How about the troll pencil toppers? Oh yeah, what about
the pen that had the multicolors that you would click
on the top of that? Tell them Sam, I was
gonna say that sounds like something Sam would have happen.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Everyone always tried to get all four colors out at
the same time when it works, but you could.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
I have one.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
How about this the school compass Not a compass you
think about finding directions, but the compass where it was
the pencil in one a circle and then you make
a circle. I don't know if kids because that that
one the point where you stuck it into the into
the desk.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
That's like sharp. That could be a weapon. You know what, Sam,
We all have kids. My daughter is a teenager now.
She's never once asked me like Dad, we got to
go buy a compass, So maybe you're right. Pro tractor Yeah, yeah,
never not onet pro tractor, Holy nikes.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Daddy described the protractor again protect it would look like
a half a circle.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
With angles and yeah, and like the right angle thing,
the little device for geometry.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
So things you saw then that you don't see. Now,
let's go wrapped up this week. Who do we got,
Danny Jon Kentucky, our boy nick A Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
What's up? What's up? Nick?

Speaker 7 (41:22):
Hey man, you all took a lot of mine, But I'm.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Gonna say the food pyramid is exactly opposite one of.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, we were told the worst advice on like health
and fitness and food categories and everything like they were clueless.
They were clueless Joe Jackson in the eighties with food stuff. Well,
you know what I've noticed, and I know this isn't everywhere.
It's regional. There's regional differences. We're here in Los Angeles.
Right when I was a kid, and when we were
kids of the eighties, the kid that brought their lunch

(41:50):
was sort of the weird kid. Right as you got older, Right,
if you were in high school, you bought your lunch
at school, Right, if you brought your lunch where I
went to school. Yeah, you're like the weenie, a nerd,
because you know what what you wanted to do is mom,
give you like two bucks because you wanted pizza or
PBJ or whatever they had pizza, taco bo taco boats if.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
You because you wanted to go on the lunch line
and chop it up with the other kids. Porcroll on
a bun, get your little cookies and get your little
remember the the wax triangle push up like ice pop? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you would get all that crap if a kid brought
like a PBJ. I was like, what's wrong with you? Yes?

Speaker 1 (42:27):
And now from again, everything's different. But my daughter's in
high school now. The people that get the lunch at
the school and don't bring their own are almost like,
what's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Your mom's all the opposite. It's the opposite. It almost
like what are you pour or something? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Why you? Why are you eating school lunch? Because it's
so bad. I used to.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Beg my folks to I brought my lunch pretty much
through junior high school from you know, k through whatever, Kait,
and I used to beg them like can I just
get a school lunch once a week because I wanted
that hot pizza, that hamburger patty. O.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Know they didn't call hamburger, know why because the meat
was called the beef patty on the pond because it
wasn't the quality enough to be called technically a hamburger.
Fun fact, So if you went to school and it
was like today, beef patty on a bun on a bun,
you know why they didn't say hamburger to call it
a hamburger.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Around like slong, yeah, ground meat. Did you guys have
taco boats? Yeah? He just said that.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Yeah, taco boats just one of my patty biggest memories
from the cafeteria.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
So funny that could you know? That's all right?

Speaker 1 (43:31):
You know when you go back to your old college,
the bars that were cool are now lame, and the
lame bars they're cool.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Like it just changes. Yeah, Kavino brought up a good point.
We have to reiterate that when you were a kid,
if you grew up in the eighties or nineties, if
you brought your lunch, you're a weirdo.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
If you you wanted to buy the school lunch and
be cool. Yeah, as you got older now, if you
get the school lunch as there's almost a vibe of
like you're getting the school lunch. Yeah, like there's a
prison food our mom and dad on vacation or something
like they are you not healthy.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
About the cafeteria something you would never see nowadays in
high school. I think it was like this in junior
high in middle school as well. In California here, if
say you had a family where they were struggling a
little bit, like a single mom, and so they assisted
her with paying for the lunch.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Yeah, they'd give you a pink ticket every day. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
The kids who paid for the lunch with full money
paid their parents paid the full price, had a green ticket.
So all of us with the pink ticket were looked
at as these poor bastards. Oh you're one of the
poor kids and rich they would not let you get
the premium items.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
In the cafeteria. Sorry, Danny, you have a pink ticket.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Well, they had alternate lunches for both dietary and for financially.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
So what a a friend of mine, what we would do.
We would wait until almost the end of lunch and
then go in. They had nothing left except some of
the premium stuff. They'd have to give us the good stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
You know what else you wouldn't find, Danny g Fox
Sports Radio Nation, blow your mind the art of the
origami notes or the little notes being pass shaped like
footballs that we would play with at lunch. Because kids
are just texting each other all day, they're not passing notes.
I was cleaning not happened. I was cleaning up some
boxes recently in the guest bedroom of hey old school memory,

(45:17):
sports memorabilia, you know, high school stuff. And I saw
a bunch of random, like love notes from like high
school girlfriends, mixed in with like, you know, like baseball stuff.
And I thought about how our kids generation they won't
write each other a little cute teen age love notes
because they're just not sending texting each other, right, yeah,
inappropriate things. How many times would you try to scope

(45:37):
out that girl in between periods to hand her a note?

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
You know what else you won't see in my high school.
In my high school, we had like a smoking area.
I don't think you'll see that anymore. Is there a
vaping area.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
May I don't know. I don't know, but we did
have a smoking area where kids would go there. Uh,
during lunchtime, but there may be a weed area for
anxiety exactly right.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Things you don't see in schools anymore, but we were
subject to in the eighties and nineties.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
We do this on Thursdays.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
We throw it back old school in fifty hits and
we're gonna get back to your phone calls now eight seven,
seven ninety nine out fox.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Yeah, thank you for all the calls coming in. Adam
in Waco, No, what's up, Adam?

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Hey, we had.

Speaker 8 (46:19):
Those red hot radiators that we would take the skin
of our crayons and melt them all over the plate.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
The fact that the fact that you, as a kid
could have leaned into one of those hot radiators, Yeah,
that's They would also make banging sounds and like were
like because it was like getting fired up, get in
the heat going.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
That makes me think of the very unsafe playground toys too,
for the little kids at elementary schools.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Back in the day. Oh, no doubt, steal springs rusted.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Did you guys have like a red box in your
grammar schools where they would open it up in the summertime?

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Do you know what I'm talking about? Or no, every
grade school what popped out of it.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
No, every grade school I'm from New Jersey, and in
the summertime there would be a red box that they
opened up so that you can go to the playgrounds
and play with the kickballs and the knock hockeys and
the paddles, and they'd give you a basket go see, yeah,
sports stuff. I don't see kids going to the local
playground opening up some sort of thing like that.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Like we had in the eighties. I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
I haven't seen knock hockey in a minute, That's what
I mean. Like they had all that stuff in the
red box that they would open up for summertime activities
for kids that were just going.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
There and play.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
My daughter is only just wrapped up second grade, but
she was talking about how she would play kickball with
some of the boys and a couple of girls at
recess and I asked her, I go, when you kick
the ball, can you peg someone to get them out?

Speaker 2 (47:40):
She's like, no, you have to throw the base.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Like I think the newer rules might feel maybe until
they get older, but like, remember you used to be
able to just kick with the ball.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
You sued to be able to call your pitch too straight.
Or bouncy. I don't know a straight or bouncy anyway.
Things you don't see anymore.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Who we got
Danny g Okay, let's.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Talk to John in the San Fernando Valley.

Speaker 7 (47:58):
John, no more American flags up on the walls.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I see that there is an American flag of my
kid's school. You know, there was a moment, but I
think they're back now.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, I see it.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Yeah, they do the pledge every Friday, go to assembly
every Friday. They do it well because there was a
moment where people stopped pledging the flag.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
But I think you know that that changed. It varies
from state to state. Yeah, yeah, no, they do it
every every Friday morning. My kid's school. Same. Let's talk
to Austin. Let's see Jordan. Hey, what up Jordan?

Speaker 7 (48:27):
Hey, how's it going?

Speaker 9 (48:28):
Guys? So, I know y'all mentioned the overhead projector, but
how about the old school projector with a light bulb
and you had to like draw on the clear film.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
No, that's kind of what we were talking about.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
I thought you were going to say, like the old
film project, the film strip projector.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Beep and you have to press the button.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Any like the film strip, that would be nap time
for me in any classroom eight seven seven ninety nine.
One fox will take a few more. Who do we
got the no offense to the school nurses out there.
They're doing great work. But the nurses a little more
efficient now because I feel like the joke in my
school was whatever it was, the nurse would just give
you an ice pack.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
That is true. Remember they would give you the hearing
test though when you were a kid. Did they still do?
Do they still do the lights the lice test with
the sticks you have to raise your hand like I
heard it, left, left hand, right, I heard it.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
So things you don't see at schools that you saw
growing up. Did they give the scoliosis test anymore? I
don't know, Like bend over, let me see your back, dude.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
Can I tell you a story? This is the truth.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
When I was a kid in like junior high, I
think it was like sixth grade junior high time, there
would be a guy that came around due to scoliosis test. Right,
we'd have to get out in our tidy.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Whities, lined up basically doing the elephant walk well each
other and in front of the whole like all the
girls in are tidy whities bending over.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Why do they checked their spines? Doesn't sound right? How
embarrassing is that? I didn't say he was slapping our ass?
Are you sure this was approved or did you just
you know what? Maybe it was a fantasy I had.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
I don't know what the state of californ Ffornia used
to do at our elementary schools. They would have the
kids line up outside and give us each a cup
of fluoride.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Oh wow, No, I don't remember that. You would never
see that nowadays.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
No, I got I got one more in the one,
but they would line us up to check our backs
like that in front of all the kids.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
It was so embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
I got one more. We'll wrap it up with the
phone calls. Then we'll talk some MBA, some NFL. Well,
we'll get to it. I think this is too dangerous now.
I could be wrong, you could correct me, but I
feel like this is long gone. The idea of a
kid in a gymnasium climbing that huge rope with no
real padding underneath. I haven't seen that. You haven't even heard.

(50:37):
There's always like.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
The girl or skinny kid that could do it, and
they'd go to like these, like when you climb the
rope in gym class. I saw that in the Police
Academy movies.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
But does any do you know of your kids? Anyone
with kids? Have you ever heard them be like today
we climb the rope in gym classes. That takes incredible strength,
by the way, yeah, but I thought it was wild.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Give us It was like a flimsy pad at the bottom.
Can I ask kid would go all the way up?

Speaker 1 (51:01):
I want to brag rich because I do hold the
Union High school sit up record seventy two sit ups
in a minute, but eighty three farts and it has
yet has yet to be I feel bad for the
president had to hold your ankles.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Yeah, yeah, so, hey man, add that to your You
see that in any high school Little League home runs?
You're set ups?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
All right, let's wrap up for now on the calls
Brian in Mississippi, Hey Brian, go ahead, buddy.

Speaker 7 (51:28):
Hey man, I just joined in, so I don't I
don't know if this has been said yet or not,
but what about pencil fight?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Oh you're not gonna see that, No, way doesn't.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
And you know what, we would have kids that would
come in with like big giant red carpenter.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Pencils like that doesn't count. Remember the pencils that would bend?

Speaker 5 (51:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Oh yeah, yeah absolutely. The pencil fighting was a big deal.
We did say the pencil, the the the pencil sharper.
How did you even describe that thing?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
The pencil trump It was like screwed into the It
was like an old industrial Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Old and seeing the thing was fun. You like the
shavings and the shavings. Yeah is this was this just
a New York thing.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
I would say obviously from Iowa, Danny West Coast Covino, Jersey.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
I'm actually from Delaware, Delaware. You and Joe Biden, we're
in Delaware? Wow, I gotaware. Do you remember like the
cootie shot? Circle circle dot dot? Now you got the
cootie shot and people would scratch the top of their
hand and leave like a mark. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Were you ever inducted into the penn fifteen club or no? Yeah,
come here, let me let me write pen fifteen on you. Well,
you know what, we'll wrap up your phone calls next,
how about that, right, and we'll talk some NBA finals.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Hey, what does it look like for the thunder and Dodgers?
If we have time.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
There's a Dodger story and it has to do with food.
And we'll get to all that next. Right here, Covino
and Rich let's wrap it up with our last call, DANNYJ.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
Let's go to New York, Greg, Greg, what's up man?

Speaker 9 (53:02):
What's blowing on? Guys?

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (53:04):
Uh, well, I'm trying to let you know. I'm sitting
out of my seat and r swiggy right now.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Nice?

Speaker 9 (53:11):
Nice, But what I wanted to say about the school
being on textbooks wrapped in brown paper grocery bag.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Oh, my mom would look that up so funny. And
if your mom didn't do it for you, she didn't
love you, that's true. And the inside always, like the
inside of your book said like shop right, Yeah, absolutely,
and you would, you know, draw some band logos on it,
have some hot girls sign it. Yeah, good one, and
you'd see all the previous owners of that book. Did you,
guys ever have the elastic like stretchy the fabric that

(53:40):
you would put over the textbooks? Maybe that was more
of a my generation.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
No, we had the brown paper bag. It was like
just a spandex sleeve that you would put over the
cover and the.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Back of fancy stuff. I always reminded me of the
Peachy Folders too.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
You grew up on the moon, Sam, Are you from

All right, So it's a visual show. You can also listen.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Just search over promised right now, raceba funny side.

Speaker 9 (54:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
A lot of people are saying, screw the Dodgers, but
there's a big butt.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
You like big butts. I cannot lie, but this is awesome.
Dodgers have added new menu items this summer. They've added
a buzzball cocktail and a frozen cocktail cocktail bat to
their drink menus.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
No, no one loves frozen cocktails more than Covena.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
These looks so good. Check these out again. It's a
money grab, there's no doubt about that. But on a
hot summer today, How are you not grabbing one of
these bad boys a bat of icy basically it's an
icy bat but with alcohol, and then his giant fishball
of whatever that is. Have you guys seen the buzzball?

(55:20):
They're like these little spheres. They sell it like seven
to eleven. They're just a little cocktail drinks. Yeah, it
make a huge one of those, but it's a big
Dodgers one like that. One time I was in DC,
and I know this because I got an email from
the Washington Nationals every day since I bought those tickets.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
And I can't get them to stop.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
It'subscribed. How much you want to pay for one of
those bad boys? The bat looks pretty significant, but they
gotta be easily. I was in d C and I
happen to go to a Mets Nationals game. It was
no joke, like your leg would burn on the seat.
We happen to be there one hundred degree day. My
wife and I got trashed off of those big frozen drinks.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
They are so good at a ball.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
This is an actual conversation I had at the last
Yankees Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium. Our buddy we cool
enough to hook me up. I had a blast, right.
We sat in the cool iHeart sweet the Fox Sports
Radio suite that we got there, and in the suite,
you know it's free dogs, Dodger dogs, fruit drinks, meat balls.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Man, it hooked it up. It was great and I'm
not bragging. I'm just telling you how it went down.
Sweet Perks and I really wanted to get another drink.
I didn't want to have the drinks. I wanted to
get a drink and my girlfriend was like, like, do
you really need one?

Speaker 2 (56:43):
And I'm like, I'm at a ball game. Yeah, kind of.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
That's such a judgmental question. You really do you realize
that I'm at a ball game? So yeah, it's part
of the experience having a Doyer dog. I want to
watch that at least one brew. Is that so wrong?
Am I a bad guy?

Speaker 2 (57:04):
So? Anyway, based on this new Dodger drink menu, I
don't think he really need that.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
What's the one thing that you can't leave the ballpark without?

Speaker 2 (57:12):
I'll give it because it has to be that.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Even though these drinks look delicious, is it the helmet
with the ice c I'm a school boy. It could
be a Dodgers game, Angels Mets. Is it always the
plastic County. I can't leave a ballgame without in about
the sixth or seventh inning getting vanilla soft serve in
an upside down helmet I.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Want to bring.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
I want to bring my own John Olrud size helmet
and say, hey, can you fill this up with soft
serve and extra sprinkles please?

Speaker 2 (57:37):
I'm with you, Richil. I think that's the number one.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Like it might be a hot dog or a saucage
or something special or drink or a beer, this special cocktail,
but for me, it's still that ice cream helmet.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Bringing Bruce Bochie's old helmet, Sunday.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Sliders, you know, I'll tell I'll say this, and old
Kevin min. I don't like the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
You know that.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
I'm a Mets fan, but when I go to Yankee Stadium,
those garlic fro you may not want, You may not
kiss someone or talk to anyone close for a week,
but those are insane.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Is it as an adult? Is it a junk food
item or is it a cocktail alcohol item?

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Is it one of those tall boys or is it
one of these new buzzball.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Yeah, these Dodger buzzballs are vodka rum tequila juices.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Yo, dude, these look so good and it gets so hot,
so I could see these selling out.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
I'm surprised it took this long.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
I think the lesson to be learned here is when
you go to the ball game, they gotcha and you
know what indulged. The ball game is for ice cream,
but you really need a beer, I think I do. Yeah,
you yes, I bet your MANSI would put back three
of those and.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Have stumble up to the passenger easily. Easily, MANSI, she
doesn't hear listening. Yeah, but she'll put them down for sure, MANSI.
This new Dodger blue ice drink. I feel like you
put down like three of them. It's probably really sweet.
I'm not about what's.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
Your item that you can't leave with that, Like I
have to get one of those before ice cream and
a helmet.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Ice cream and a helmet is good. I don't know
if we still have it, but we had a fried peanut,
butter banana and jelly dessert that was to die for.
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
It isn't part of going a ball game though, eating
something gross. You have to eat one gross thing in
a ballpark. I don't think you could go to the
game and be like, I ate healthy. Let me ask
you everything where you binge your bad food? Before we
move on? How many dogs do you think you could down?

Speaker 2 (59:31):
She's a vegetarian, Well, I could have a Dodger of
a veggie dog. We have those. How many veggie dogs
could you get? I've done four? Not full?

Speaker 4 (59:41):
But I died.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
I died really? Yeah, you came back to life. Yeah,
I'm walking back to life. And is this Moonse's ghost?

Speaker 1 (59:48):
My five year old son had three Dodger dogs when
we went last week, So we saw that. Dan Patrick's
one of his behind the scenes guys, Dylan the graphics guy,
the br the back room guy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
He's a BRG.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
He dominated that hot dog challenge that people have been
talking about nine nine nine. Yeah, the nine hot dogs,
nine beers, nine innings, and I wonder like he crushed it?
Is that something like he had way more beers, right,
So props to him, Dylan the graphics guy. But do
you think that's something you could comfortably do enough? I
don't think so. You think you could? But you drink

(01:00:24):
those nine beers throughout the day?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Yeah? Yeah? Who am I weight boxed?

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
I think the nine hot Dogs is way simpler than
the nine Beers. I feel like by beer seven or
eight you'd be all blowedy because each inning you'd be
forcing back a beer. And like the hot Dogs, I
feel like you really could finish.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
You should try it during our Circle live broadcast next Friday.
