All right, let's be rocking out. Coveno, Rich and you
heard Isaac Lowencrown's update. We're gonna get back to our
old school conversation on National Senior Citizen's Day. But Jerry
Jones saying that him and Micah Parsons had like an
agreement and the agent said, stick it.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Up your ass. That's that's a wild story. Huh.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it is a wild one, and you heard it.
I oh, I can't say that was awesome. Well Jerry
Jones didn't Jerry Jones say it? Yeah, he can, you can't.
It is an interesting one because who knew that? And
who knew that Michael Irvin had a YouTube show. That
was also a surprise to me. I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Everybody has a show. Everybody's a broadcaster, so stick to
everybody so confused.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, I gotta do my FCC training. You gotta stop
paying your son to do your FCC training.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That's true, do it yourself. That's next. All right?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Old school when fifty hits, we do it every Thursday
and it is Senior Citizen's Day. And it got us
thinking about the wild and crazy world of our grandparents generation.
They fought in the war. They an't have the oldest
hell way. Young grandparents were different back in the day.
My grandmother, I feel like she were a moomou who
her whole life. Did your grandmother wear anything like that
(02:12):
your mom wears now? My grandma had the same clothes
for as long as I could remember. So whatever she
had when I was a little kid is the same
clothes she was wearing when she passed away when I
was an adult. Right, That's just how grandparents were. And
they wore the hammy. My grandma Mexican lady wore like
whatever pair of sneakers that her grandkids gave.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
She wore my brother.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Sneakers, you know what I mean, Like, this doesn't matter
if they fear their clothes. Moon moves like you said,
My other grandma looked like missus claws. She gave me grandcrackers,
she baked your birthday cake. It was a different breed
of grandma and grandpa back then, what their grandpa told stories.
Grandparents now don't even want to hang with their grandkids.
(02:57):
When you think grandparents, do you think, I think expressions.
I remember shaving a haircut, two bits of stuff like that,
and how was a praise? And my grandparents would make
coffee in a percolator. They would say things like you
don't know s from shine Nola. So grandparents, stories, the memories,
(03:19):
the commonalities we all have, we all share. Like I'll
give you one. I'm pretty certain that everybody remembers your
Grandma giving you like Grandma candy. We mentioned those Danks cookies,
you know, those cookies that came in the tines, like
the sugary Pretzel one and the sugary Rectangle one and
all the other ones.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Rich is right.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You don't know if you were getting cookies or sewing
sewing equipment. You don't know what was in that tin.
And how about those strawberry candies, the strawberry candies, the
old people candies. I don't know if Graham Grandma only had.
I don't know if Grandma got like shipment of them.
I don't know where they got them from. The only
place that they still have a lot of old people
candy that'll look right. I was recently, I was recently
(04:02):
that where Grandma's got like generic strawberry wrapped.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Candy that was recently is a Dollar Tree or Dollar Store.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
They're all the Dollar General.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
They have in their candy aisle, all the things that
you would think old people like individually rapped twotsy rolls,
and you know the strawberry candies that are that look
like they are a strawberry?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Can you tell me the brand of that? Though nobody
knows who makes those? Knowing about that old hard can.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Like they magically appeared on earth.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They'd have like old fashioned hard candy. Read the ribbon
candy is, yeah, ribbon candy.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
They got him old root beer barrels for you peppermine stick.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Hey, Grandpa, you got candy. I got root beer barrels.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That ribbon candy is horrible.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Grandma may have had like a Werther's or some sort
of butterscotch, some sort of Brox butterscotch at the bottom
of her purse, and she'd give you. But again, I
my one, Grandma. That's a good one. By the way,
root pier barrels. M Hermann loved them, and your grandpa
loved people root pier taffy. Yeah, your grandpa loved like
bowls of peanuts too, right, crack crack some nuts today.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know what else? You know what else?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Your grandparents loved each and every one of you. Every
grandparent had one of these in the basement or somewhere.
It was like a workout machine, but we didn't know
what it was like. It was just a band that
went around your waist, and I.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Like, what is that it was?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know if they had it on an infomercial,
but you remember it looked like just a belt that went
around you, and like, who knows what it was. I
was just on the carousel of progress at Disney World. Yeah,
that's when they take you through all the decades, and
they actually showed that like when people had.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That thing, no grandparents love to do too.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Maybe it worked because people weren't as fat then as
they are now. You know what it is, obc is
a problem because we don't have those shakers anymore. Old
people loved hanging laundry. They have those episode did my
mom when I was a kid, So if you hit
my dad's tidy whities, it was an automatic double.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
It was always it was always interrupting my with football games.
But I'm saying, like there were drivers. Take Dad's on
the word now, Sam, and there were drivers in the eighties.
I'm just saying, I remember my grandparents would hang all
their laundry in the yard. Like it sounds funny now
because clothes pins were put to use, Like can you
imagine now, like Danny, imagine you and Brenda were doing
like the family's laundry and you just hung it on
(06:21):
a line in your yard.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That just feels weird. My mom still does that we
have a farm. Yeah, so she hangs it out and
it's like windy and hot, it'll get it dry pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So my grandma used to do a few weird things. Again,
she my one grandma. Again I have I feel like
I have a white grandma and like a Mexican grandma.
So that's who I am, right, So my Mexican grandma.
I guess she would like take as much as she could,
like from the diner that she was at or whatever,
like sugar packets and jelly packets, saltines. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:54):
So she'd always like be like she'd be like giving
me treats like little here you go, like because I
was a good kid, and me little jelly packets all
the time, Like thank you, Tita, little jelly packets out
of her purse all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You don't really love those little diner marmalades and yeah, seriously,
I would eat those like they were candy when I was.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Always the reject. Flavors like orange.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, and what else would she always do?
Speaker 6 (07:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Growing up old school, it's more of an old school
because they're from the old country. They're just old people
from a different generation. I remember opening up her fridge.
I told this story recently, and I remember saying, Teta, gross,
what's that? And it was a tomato with like fungus
all over it, like an old rotten tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Pobby there for three months. I'm like, why don't you
throw this away?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
No, no, Juno, it's okay, it's okay. And she rubbed
it out with her thumb, thumb and took like a
giant bite out of it. So it was just like
different generations of people. They wasted nothing. That's just how
it was.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Not for real. And you know what, there's something more.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know. There's something really special about your your
grand parents and old people. Looking back, seriously, they were there,
they wanted to spend time with you. They were great
role models. And that's what we're getting at because National
Senior Citizen's Day.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Did they love jars the way my grandparents did. Everything
was in a jar, quartersicking change. Yeah, jars.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
My grandma in the kitchen had one jar of saltines
and one jar of pieces of sourdough, bread.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Jars of things.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Okay, if you were hungry, shut up and go get
a slice of sour dough and put some butter on it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They'd give you sweet grandparents snacks just like that. Like
I said, yeah, maybe some Graham crackers with jelly on it,
or tortilla gonmnte guilla little salt, whatever it was. You know,
your grandparents did different things for you. So your best
Grandma Grandpa's stories and memories, and if they're sports related,
that's cool too. Mauser hits us up in Cincinnati. Everyone's
(08:51):
grandparents had recipes written on index cards. That's a good
They always had the recipes for sure, recipes written down.
And let's see, Grandma was always bacon stuff. Do you
know what grandma's love to do Go to the salon
and put their head onto that uh that astronaut looking thing.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, under that helmet.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, it could be like like hot air.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think they love I feel like RICHI used to
get his haircut like that when I first met him, Like, dude,
get a fade? What is it with your mel Gibson quaff?
RICHI used to sit under that moon helmet.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Grandparents love perms for some reason. They bingo, so did
Gary Carter. I think Gary Carter and grandparents.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Curling irons and then also wearing curlers to bed. My
grandma's names were Helen and Nancy. How more grandma is that?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
My grandma Harriet and Celia was a very grandma name.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, very grandma names.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Let's go to Dave and Idaho share some grandparents stories,
then we'll get to some more again, a few reasons.
It's National Senior Citizen's Day, and studies prove that all
of our core values, our core values were passed on
from our grandparents. So they had bigger impact than you
even realize on your life and who you are. And
(10:00):
they just were different than today's grandparents. That's just a fact.
And it's also Sister Jean's one hundred and sixth birthday,
the mascot of the Loyola Ramblers, So happy birthday to her.
And we get to your phone calls now eight seven
seven ninety nine, O Fox, You.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Know what grandparents love to do? Hide cash?
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, because they came from a generation under the mat
that didn't believe banks, banks for failing. Again, hide the money.
Do you guys remember this? I just started watching The
Sopranos again just because it's been twenty years. Right, Do
you remember when Pollie Walnuts dos his mom in the
old age home. But he really didn't want to, but
he threw it in the old age home and one
of the ladies it gets out that she keeps money
(10:40):
under the mattress, and Paulie Walnuts breaks into the old
lady's house.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Remember that day?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Hey, how about the when we talked about this a
few months ago, the guy who found forty grand sewn
into a couch.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Oh yeah, Old people loved hiding money, absolutely great one.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That's why a lot of our grandparents hoard things or
hoarded things too, because their parents went through the Great Depression.
So everything they got their hands on that was some
value to them, they kept it forever.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You find some old band aid tin, some old Suecrets
tin and a medicine capsule and.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Nails or something. All right, that's an emergency fund.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Old people loved old just in case of an emergency,
it's a ready day fund.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Give you a couple more. I think I think these
are all universal. I think old people love rocking chairs.
Oh yeah, Oh, they love.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
To rock in a chair. They rocked out, They rocked out.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Furniture was handmade back then, people made rocking chairs all
the time.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know what, Old people loved Ethan Allen. Old people
loved china closets. They love to display their plates. Now
with our generation, do you think you know one grown
man or woman that's like thirty forty fifty years old
that displays plates.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
That's to find china. We break out for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Find China is definitely a generational thing. People of our
generation don't give it.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Really, squad, we're gonna eat off paper plates.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh you know what else Old people love, God bless
my grandma, my nana, my dad's.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Mom, Hummels, old lady Hummels.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Like those collectibles, you know, little statues that they had, figurines.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, glad you bring up the way they decorated. Oh yeah,
they covered all the furniture.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Dole Doile was my grandmam. The only one who hung
up spade shaped fans on the walls.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And they loved screen doors with like a covered wagon
on the on the front. Oh, every screen door had
that same design. It was a white screen door with
like a wagon. Some sort of gick, some sort of jock,
I'll give you not. They loved what do you call
those rug spot Remember we looked at a recently those rugs,
rag mats or something where like when you would go
(12:44):
in their house to wipe your feet, it would just
be a bunch of strings connected by a different colors.
Look up or is it rag mat? Ragrug or rag matt?
And you'd be like, yeah, Greg, grandma had that right
in front.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of the sink.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Grandparents loved I used that for naptime and kindergorns shoehorns.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Who are painting the butt again?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
He needed a horn?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Harriet, where's my shoe horn? It's not bending over? You
put it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Every grandparent and you know what TV's back then, they
were a piece of furniture. Think of like how your parents,
your grandparents TV set.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
That's what it was. It was a TV set.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It was a wood piece of furniture that like sat
as the centerpiece. And you know what they sat in
watching the TV set. We mentioned it the other day,
Grandpa's lazy boy. Grandpa loved his recliner. Grandpa fell asleep
and as a recliner all night. That's how it was.
And it smelled like him, Am I right? And he
smelled what do you smelled like? Stets in brute old spice.
(13:40):
That's what Grandpa smelled like, so we're celebrating old people today.
We'll get to your phone calls. Danny, g you you
said something before? I think did you say after shave?
Someone said after shave aquavella?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Was it you? I was saying, do you know any
young person that uses after shave? I do?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Like, well, I used like you like cramo, like a cream,
like really if I'm shaving my neck and I don't want
wolf neck.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But I'm just saying, like I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I want frog eggs developing underneath their I gotta soothe
it out.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I can't stand that old spice smell.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hey, that's in my mind. I'm like, I didn't know
after shave was still a thing my dad had. I
think he probably got used it because his dad used it.
But it was called royal lime l y m e
and that stuff just smelled like an old man. It's
all royal lime qu l's. You should bring it back, sir.
You can buy it, I get I don't know where

My grandfather's name was Dwayne.
Speaker 2 (14:45):

Rock Johns, So that Dwayne is an old guy named though,
but there's some young Duins.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Back in the early eighties, my dad's whole side of
the family diehard brown Fans, and we came home from
overseas because my dad was in the military, got us
Packers Brown's tickets a fifty yard line in like nineteen
eighty two or eighty three, hoping I'd come out of
that game a Browns fan, but I walked out of
cheese it. So my best memory of my grandfather is
(15:12):
going to that football game and coming out of Packers fan.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
You made a better choice, Packers, way better choice than
the Browns. Thank you. Sorry man, Thank you Kyle and Montana.

Old like don't believe in seat bills old Like my grandparents,
they would be like seat say they restrict you.
Speaker 9 (15:46):

Speaker 2 (15:58):
I'm I'm quite sure if everyone else's grandparents the Lawrence
Welk Show, but I I grandparents loved that show. I
don't know if my I'm being serious, I don't know
if my grandparents slept in their bed the last like
ten years of their life. I think they slept every
night in side by side recliners. Did your grandfather sleep
in a bed every night? I feel like you, yeah,
asleep on the recliner. I have the same memory.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
They couldn't get up the stairs, so they slept in
My grandma my grandma hell in it and my grandpa
Bernard had matching recliners. They didn't even have a couch.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What old names do you remember them bringing up? Like
Grandpa Mike Tyson is the greatest of all time? Eh, Well,
excuse you hadn't seen Jack Timpsey fright, I'll tell you
and that Rocky Marcian like that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You probably heard them bring up some old ass names.

seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I do appreciate the
phone calls. I'm glad you'd like this discussion. It's our
way of just paying homage and honoring the old people
that had huge impact on our lives. Like I said before,
(17:54):
your core values, you think they come from your parents.
But where do you think your parents got those core values?
They see most of it came from your grandparents.

Respects on National Senior Citizens Day and later today rich
In about forty minutes on over promised our bonus podcast,

in sports, or at least the people we thought were
super old when we were little, like the Don Suttons
of the world. Yeah, like that. We're gonna we're gonna
(18:24):

our YouTube page YouTube dot com. Slash Covino and Rich FSR.

Speaker 6 (18:37):

Thimble, which is basically hot cold.

And I didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I don't want to disrespect the family game, and that
wasn't the point. So thanks for sharing. But you know
what else I thought of too? I thought, does everybody
have this memory of Grandpa and his obsession with his
Cadillac or Lincoln town Car, whatever you wanted. And they
would play elevator music like they played some old guy
elevator music. It was just a different sort of thing
(19:31):

I was just gonna say, I know, somebody brought up
Prices right when I was answering the studio lines. My
grandmother she loved Bob Barker. She wanted him so bad.
She talked about Bob. No, she did, she's she would
watch the Prices right. I swear she drooled the whole
time because every time he came out.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
She was.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
One of her dreams. She wanted to get on that
show so bad so that she could give.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Him a kiss. Wow, dig in his pockets. Yeah, it
was a fun show. A guy giving that the best kisses.
Family feud, Richard Dawson, it was oddly kissing everyone.

some old people memories today because it's National Senior Citizen's Day.
You know what old guys did every day, shave their
(22:20):
face every day. We live in a society now where
I can't tell you last time I shaved with a
razor blade on my face. Everyone's got some type of
stubble or beard or something going on. Isaac Longcron's cut
from the old school. Do you know anyway, Isaac one
of the few people that I know that shaves their
face every.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Day, fully shaven. He's a gentleman.
Speaker 13 (22:41):
Oh face, okay, So well today I'm going to be
out and about so I made sure of that, but
I've actually been slipping and sliding with that recently.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Isaac, you had a beard a couple months ago and
I thought it did not go well. I thought it
looked amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I thank you in the middle of a bender. People
love and I'm basing this on an old Twilight Zone episode.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Kick the Can. Oh, We're gonna play kick the Can.
They loved walking uphill both ways as Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right, So we honor senior citizens on their day,
and I'm sure they share their There are stories of
sports and their sports heroes, and hey share your stories now, we'll.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
We'll do a quick rapid fire eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, and then there's an update about MLBY
and we'll talk some NFL to wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Ronnie in New Orleans, you're on with C and I,
what's up, Ronnie?
Speaker 10 (23:34):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Man?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yo? Ronnie?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
What's up? Man?
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Little same home getting off for work?
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Heading home?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Nice? So so what did grandparents love?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
IM?
Speaker 10 (23:44):
All love the Yankees and the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
And he passed it on to you, and I pass
it on to my song.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Well, he passed it on to my mom, husband and
my dad, and he passed it on to me and
to my son.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
So it goes generational.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I was gonna say way less and things to choose
from back then. We grew up in an area where
there's a lot of people that love the Brooklyn Dodgers,
a lot of grandparents love the Brooklyn Dodgers, and they
were caught in a pickle of what to do. Now,
let's say, how to Rodney and Sacramento. What's up Rodney?
Speaker 14 (24:13):
Hey, it's going on fellas anybody? Hey, So my I
just want to point out that our grandfather's man were
a different breed of gentlemen I remember, you know, being
Filipino and Hispanic. He always smelt like flowed his palmade
slicking his hair back, and he would always carry a
bro or a comb in his pocket and a handkerchief, handkerchiefs.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Good.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Can I tell you, Rodney, thank you for that. I
know what I'm looking for with these phone calls. I'm
looking for something like that to make you go to speaking.
How gross that is?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Think about Grandpa would be a car and then put
it right back in his pocket. So this is really
a question of grandparents loved blank, didn't they? And handkerchiefs, handkerchief,
handkerchief It's like you're right, they would blow their no,
wasn't it? And he mentioned the h You mentioned the
different breed on my dad's side. My dad's daddy, he's
a butcher, right. But when you see that he's a butcher,
(25:08):
his fingers are mangled like mangled, right, like there's a
different type of man.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
It was that type of man back then didn't care
about his skin, no would Yeah.
Speaker 13 (25:21):
Do you guys remember the Mister Good Wrench commercial when
we were growing up about the pair of hands, washing
the hands and all the dirt and grime would come off,
and that was the whole commercial. Yes, same principle.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
It's just how it was in Missouri. What's up, Clade Clay,
what up?
Speaker 11 (25:38):
Hey, guys? How you doing? An old guy calling in
on the topic. All right, man, Hey, So I would
have my grandfather World War two, Ben Box in the army.
Came out of World War Two. He's a pullman conductor
out of Saint Louis, which was on the trains, the
guy the entertainment trains, and he had trained from Saint.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Louis to Vegas.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
You know, a lot of drink and going on and such,
and so he had to take care of that work.
Well Pas where he died. I went up to say
last to visit him, and we were watching Roadhouse and
that line where he said, you're nice to you, it's
not time to be nice anymore. Grandpa just pointed at
(26:19):
it and looked a grind because he had taught.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Me that exact same.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Line my whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's awesome, man, that's really cool. Grandpa loved the Roadhouse.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Grandpa's loved Let's make this simple. You know grandparents loved
having the same job for fifty years. People job hop Now,
how many grandparents do you know?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They were like who.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Worked for the electric company for forty eight years old?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
People love keeping the same job their whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, I was thinking when he was telling that story,
World War two veteran all that you always hear a
similar story followed up. He boxed in the army and
he would come home from work and never complained. So
that was another like different personality trait of that generation.
He rarely complained about, you know, the stuff they'd seen.
They'd seen some stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I always think about that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
My grandfather was in Germany, I lived war, World War
two everything, and I think that generation was told to
just I just tuck those thoughts away.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yes, they never talked about.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
It, and rich we got to shout out the US military. Course,
the breed they were, they would win medals of honor
and hide those they like. My grandma would ask my
grandpa to take out his medals and he said no,
he never wanted to show off anything. And now think
of this generation and how everybody wants the spotlight on
them all time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Man, you said it, dude for real, but yeah, a
different breeded guy. Thank you guys. We got what two
or three more calls. I'll take two more. We'll a
couple more quick as we'll go to Robin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Hey Rob.
Speaker 12 (27:42):
Yeah. So I get punished in college, bad grades and
I got simp for spring break to go clear Land
with my grandfather who I grew up with. That was
just say he was respected, but he was feared. And
my grandmother first down there bus me for having cigarettes
and zip bowliner. It takes some away from me. Very
next day go out and clan my My grandfather would
(28:05):
be getting the truck after work and he's like, here
we go. We go through a drive through liquor store
outside of work, gets a bottle of gym Beam, the
six pack of co and a pack of cigarettes. He goes,
we're not going home until.
Speaker 14 (28:19):
He finished this.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Grandparents cut from a different cloth. Grandparents used to come
from handkerchiefs. Great grandparents used to also.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Grandma loved to knit and make blanket.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Grandparents also love scarfs.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
They were big on using alcohol with like for children's
like sore teeth or something like. Grandparents were quote love
to be like that's put a little whiskey on it.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
My grandma loved vix Vapo rub for everything. Yeah, let's
let me know with this. Let's say how to Kyle
in Missouri to wrap it with Kyle?
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Grandparents?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
What did grandparents love? Kyle?
Speaker 10 (28:58):
My grandpa was he was retired before I was born,
but he loved waking up in the morning and putting
on his coveralls. He also had a goodie drawer that
was filled with it was orange Circus peanuts.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And that's good, coach, you know, Orange Circus peanuts is
a good one. You just said another one. Old people
they love to wake up early. I want when we're older,
we gonna want to wake up at five in the morning,
just for the hell of it.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I think they go to bed at eight o'clock, so
they're up at five thirty.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I'm I tell you.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I worked at a cards and gift store once that
opened at like five thirty six in the morning, and
I hated it. But when I got there, there were
old people waiting for the store to beat. They want
their scratch us, I mean my scratchers at my Lucky Strike.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
They want to go to the diner at six am
for their black coffee and their toast and their meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And you know what. We're better for knowing them.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
So we'll finish with Craig and then we'll talk some
MLB real quick, right quick, Covino and Rich?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
What up Craig, Craig, Hey.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
I love you guys in the afternoon.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
So anyways, I used to go walking with my granddad and.
Speaker 12 (29:58):
He would always tell me weird stories.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
He would say, when he was a little kid, him
and his brother would walk on.
Speaker 12 (30:03):
The sidewalk and pull car out of the crack into
it from bubblegum.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Wow, that's for some manly stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Do you ever know how to say that your grand
wouldn't be kids today with your hubba bubbas? You ever
your grandparents ever tell you a story where you couldn't
believe it because of how cavalier they seemed to be
back in the desk.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Called the movie. It's a movie called Big Fish.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Like my grandparents, they would tell stories and this is
a true one. I mean the proof was in his hands.
My grandfather got his finger cut off by his brother.
They were chopping wood. And I remember being like Grandpa,
like from the knuckle down like he was had a
half a finger, and I remember saying, well, what did
(30:46):
you do? And he goes, I just picked it up
and threw it out. I'm like, you just picked up
your finger and threw it out.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's how old.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
And he goes, And my brother ran away for a
week because he thought he'd get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I'm like, and for a week, no one looked for him.
They eventually came back like what.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Wow, they operated differently. God bless them. The greatest generation.
Happy the old people and the old people around today.
I mean it is Senior's Day, Senior citizen Day. And again,
happy birthday, sister Gene, one hundred and six years old.
Now we were just hanging here getting all the phone calls.
Danny g was hard at work. Eight seven, seven ninety
(31:21):
nine h Fox and Rich started doing what Rich does best.
He started looking at these potential what would you call it,
Rich rearrangements.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
There's the baseball division. There's a lot of chatter.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
There's a lot of chatter about divisional realignment.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
If then when there's expansion in baseball.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Rob Manford opened a can of worms, intentionally or not
during the Little League Classic when he said, oh, we're
looking at expansion and perhaps realignment. And by saying that,
I said the baseball in the sports world has now
since speculated what would these divisions look like.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
City who's getting the team.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
There's been some projections, I said, the guy from the
Athletic I thought had the best possible projections, But based
on thirty two teams, I just read something else that
if every team's going to play each other the way
the schedule has been working with that number thirty two,
they're saying they wouldn't be shocked if, with all the
revenue and everything coming into baseball two new teams, they
(32:18):
may cut the schedule to one fifty four or one
fifty six. And I said, look, I want all the
baseball I could get because I'm a fan. I don't
care dragon out as long as you want. But in reality,
the problem with baseball is that the season's too long,
and for the casual fan, I think if you shorten
it up a few games, that's another win for baseball. Yeah,
(32:38):
but there is a part of me though, that thinks
all six games, does I mean it would take it
eight games? Would take it back to what the OG
baseball season was, one fifty four right before they went
to one sixty two.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Correct, Yeah, the Babe Birirth days.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That might be the only argument, like, well, we used
to have one fifty four with the babe, but I
think taken away games baseball such a statistically driven sport.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Everything in baseball, in my mind, has something to do.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
With stats and streaks, and out of one hundred and
sixty two, I think just by elimiting any games, you're
messing with baseball stats, which, for some reason of all
the sports just seems to have some relevance, right, Yeah,
But I think we're sort of getting away from that
past that yeah, because I mean, we've made so many
changes in the game and it's all benefited for the
(33:24):
greater good. So if it did go down to one
fifty four, I think you'd see again, just another positive
change for the game. People like quicker, people like shorter.
It's just how it is. Our attention spans don't have
the band with Like, for example, tonight, would you rather
watch a forty minute show or documentary on Netflix or
(33:45):
a two hour movie? I so, are you watching the
Biggest Loser documentary? Simply because they're like three forty minute episodes.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
You think of movie. I ain't got time for that.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
So one hundred and sixty two games, it just feels
like forever, everyone would sign up for a shorter season,
even the players would, well, of course they would, right,
all right, let's go to Isaac Loewencron for an update.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
What's going on?
Speaker 13 (34:06):
I low well on National Senior Citizens Day. During an
appearance on Michael Irvin's YouTube show, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones eighty two years young, said that earlier this year,
he agreed to terms of a contract extension with star
linebacker Micah Parsons, but then.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
When we wanted to send the details to the agent,
the agent sold us to stick it up right. Wait now, see,
I will show you clear. Mike and I talked, and
then we were going to send it over to the age,
and we had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything.
We were going to send it over to the agent,
(34:43):
and the agent's trying to get his nose in it
and try to come in there and improve off the
mark that we'd already said. It's the Mam and Daddy.
Speaker 13 (34:53):
Jones also said he's prepared to franchise Tag Parsons in
twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven, and added that
he the offered Parsons the most guaranteed money of any
defensive player in NFL history, as well as the most
guaranteed money of any active non quarterback.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Could it be that the agent really is sticking their
nose And you've hear this a lot, Isaac with the
you know when you have friends or family go through divorce,
like them and their wife seem to be on the
same page and then out of nowhere, the divorce attorney's like.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
No, no, fight for more.
Speaker 13 (35:22):
That's a big narrative, indeed, And at the same time,
typically it's just not something that's supposed to be done,
for an actual negotiation to be done without an agent present.
So at the same time, it was also an uncomfortable
situation that Micah Parsons was put in or contributed to
putting himself into. There's a bit of a he said.
(35:44):
He said, Well, unfortunately I stalled long enough. I have
to tell you that the Washington Nationals are leading the
New York Mets six to three now in the bottom
of the eighth inning, a game that the Mets originally
led three to nothing. Frances No Hartman, I know, Francisco
Lindor let off the game with his twenty fifth home
run of the seasons. Starling Marte added his seventh home run,
but again they're down six to three. In the bottom
(36:05):
of the eighth, Padres lead the Giants eight to four
after seven in San Diego. Earlier, Clayton Kershaw improved his
record to eight and two in the Los Angeles Dodgers
nine to five victory at Colorado.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Guys, Thank you, Isaac Lone Crown. We got more. Cavino
on Rich.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Next here on Fox Sports Radio, Hang Tight, reminiscent about
the Golden Years, The Olden Years, Great Song Iowa, Sam.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Danny g Super producer.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're Cavino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
For over forty years, tyrack has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyraq dot Com.
A tire buying should be. You know, we celebrated National
Senior Citizen's Day, and our natural default is to talk
(36:55):
about our grandparents because those were the old people in
our minds, right, they defined what old people were to us.
But really the senior citizens parents and like, yeah, the
Wade Boggses and Don Mattingly's in the George Bretts of
the world. That's the generation that's the senior citizens today. Yeah,
(37:17):
so it's kind of funny when you think about it. So, Hey,
call your dad and wish I'm a happy National Senior
Citizen's Day. And we're gonna talk more old people in
about nine minutes on over Promised. What is over promised?
It's a really fun twenty two minutes. I got a slogan,
by the way, give us twenty two minutes, We'll give
you the world.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, it's really catching on.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It's about twenty twenty five minutes Covino and Rich overpromised
because we always over promise things we don't have time
to get to. And we're gonna talk seniors and sports
like the old guys and people we thought were really
old growing up, like you said Don Sutton earlier, guys
like that. Plus we're gonna talk sports, movies and nepotism,
(38:00):
Jersey sales.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
What does it mean? Find out?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
On over Promised Brand new episode We Go Live, Episode
one oh five and nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Well, you were talking about all those seniors. You're right,
We're we're.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
We're talking about seniors from when we were kids, because
you're right, you know parents are today. Michael Jordan's a
couple of years away from being a senior. Magic Johnson
sixty six, he's a senior citizen. There you go like,
I mean, are like you said, all those baseball players,
all these guys, how old is Joe Montana?
Speaker 6 (38:30):
Now?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
What the hell do you think about that?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
There? Right?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Just think about all the people your parents' age, they're
around that age.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
John Tanna's sixty nine, senior citizen exactly. See.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
So it's funny how our default goes to our grandparent.
It's like that meme that says when you think thirty
years ago, you think that's nineteen seventy exactly. And speaking
of senior citizens, Low and Cron dropped that bomb about
Jerry Jones eighty two years old.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
He looks, say's one hundred and eighty two. All her
thoughts on that.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Do you think Michah Parsons and Jerry Jones are your
casual conversation or right? I believe they probably had an understanding.
But agents complicate things because they're fighting for more, and
they look at it like, well, we're just doing our job.
Their job is to get you the best bottom dollar
that you could get. But that's what makes things sticky.
(39:18):
And I love your example of divorce lawyers complicating things.
But even in our field, Rich, we're at the point
where you have to let agents do that work for you.
And it becomes a question of I always found this interesting.
Do you want an agent that sort of compliments you
or counteracts what you're really about? Like, if you're a
really nice guy, do you want a pit bull to
fight for you? Or do you want someone that sort
(39:40):
of mirrors the personality type that you have.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
But because once I get it, Rich and I we.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Had because Rich and I are nice guys, right, and
big companies sometimes take advantage of nice guys. So we're like, going,
we need a pit bull lawyer, pit bull agent. And
that guy rubbed everybody the wrong way, and the bosses
came back and even told us, like, this guy's not
representing you the right way.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
So MICHAEH.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Parsons is MICHAEH Parsons not being represented playing good Cup
bad Cup too. He could be like, yeah, Jerry, I
want to do this and then be like and then
tell his agent you know, you know.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's not gonna be good enough.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
But if Jerry, tell why you need an agent too,
because you don't want to ever come across like the
bad guy.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
You can't negotiate your own contract.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
If Jerry Jones is saying that he has offered Michah
Parsons the most guaranteed money for a defensive player, ever,
I am you want? I am curious what the hang
up is that? That's it right there, So it's an
interesting story. Thank you Isaac long Crown for the scoop
on that, and Michael Irvin and his YouTube show. All right, perfect, Well,
we'll see you guys tomorrow, but we'll see you in.
Speaker 1 (40:42):

old school conversation on National Senior Citizen's Day. But Jerry
Jones saying that him and Micah Parsons had like an
agreement and the agent said, stick it.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Up your ass. That's that's a wild story. Huh.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it is a wild one, and you heard it.
I oh, I can't say that was awesome. Well Jerry
Jones didn't Jerry Jones say it? Yeah, he can, you can't.

Yeah, I gotta do my FCC training. You gotta stop
paying your son to do your FCC training.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That's true, do it yourself. That's next. All right?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Old school when fifty hits, we do it every Thursday
and it is Senior Citizen's Day. And it got us
thinking about the wild and crazy world of our grandparents generation.
They fought in the war. They an't have the oldest
hell way. Young grandparents were different back in the day.
My grandmother, I feel like she were a moomou who
her whole life. Did your grandmother wear anything like that
(02:12):
your mom wears now? My grandma had the same clothes
for as long as I could remember. So whatever she
had when I was a little kid is the same
clothes she was wearing when she passed away when I
was an adult. Right, That's just how grandparents were. And
they wore the hammy. My grandma Mexican lady wore like
whatever pair of sneakers that her grandkids gave.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
She wore my brother.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Sneakers, you know what I mean, Like, this doesn't matter
if they fear their clothes. Moon moves like you said,
My other grandma looked like missus claws. She gave me grandcrackers,
she baked your birthday cake. It was a different breed
of grandma and grandpa back then, what their grandpa told stories.
Grandparents now don't even want to hang with their grandkids.
(02:57):
When you think grandparents, do you think, I think expressions.
I remember shaving a haircut, two bits of stuff like that,
and how was a praise? And my grandparents would make
coffee in a percolator. They would say things like you
don't know s from shine Nola. So grandparents, stories, the memories,
(03:19):
the commonalities we all have, we all share. Like I'll
give you one. I'm pretty certain that everybody remembers your
Grandma giving you like Grandma candy. We mentioned those Danks cookies,
you know, those cookies that came in the tines, like
the sugary Pretzel one and the sugary Rectangle one and
all the other ones.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Rich is right.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You don't know if you were getting cookies or sewing
sewing equipment. You don't know what was in that tin.
And how about those strawberry candies, the strawberry candies, the
old people candies. I don't know if Graham Grandma only had.
I don't know if Grandma got like shipment of them.
I don't know where they got them from. The only
place that they still have a lot of old people
candy that'll look right. I was recently, I was recently
(04:02):
that where Grandma's got like generic strawberry wrapped.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Candy that was recently is a Dollar Tree or Dollar Store.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
They're all the Dollar General.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
They have in their candy aisle, all the things that
you would think old people like individually rapped twotsy rolls,
and you know the strawberry candies that are that look
like they are a strawberry?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Can you tell me the brand of that? Though nobody
knows who makes those? Knowing about that old hard can.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Like they magically appeared on earth.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They'd have like old fashioned hard candy. Read the ribbon
candy is, yeah, ribbon candy.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
They got him old root beer barrels for you peppermine stick.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Hey, Grandpa, you got candy. I got root beer barrels.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That ribbon candy is horrible.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Grandma may have had like a Werther's or some sort
of butterscotch, some sort of Brox butterscotch at the bottom
of her purse, and she'd give you. But again, I
my one, Grandma. That's a good one. By the way,
root pier barrels. M Hermann loved them, and your grandpa
loved people root pier taffy. Yeah, your grandpa loved like
bowls of peanuts too, right, crack crack some nuts today.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know what else? You know what else?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Your grandparents loved each and every one of you. Every
grandparent had one of these in the basement or somewhere.
It was like a workout machine, but we didn't know
what it was like. It was just a band that
went around your waist, and I.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Like, what is that it was?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know if they had it on an infomercial,
but you remember it looked like just a belt that went
around you, and like, who knows what it was. I
was just on the carousel of progress at Disney World. Yeah,
that's when they take you through all the decades, and
they actually showed that like when people had.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That thing, no grandparents love to do too.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Maybe it worked because people weren't as fat then as
they are now. You know what it is, obc is
a problem because we don't have those shakers anymore. Old
people loved hanging laundry. They have those episode did my
mom when I was a kid, So if you hit
my dad's tidy whities, it was an automatic double.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
It was always it was always interrupting my with football games.
But I'm saying, like there were drivers. Take Dad's on
the word now, Sam, and there were drivers in the eighties.
I'm just saying, I remember my grandparents would hang all
their laundry in the yard. Like it sounds funny now
because clothes pins were put to use, Like can you
imagine now, like Danny, imagine you and Brenda were doing
like the family's laundry and you just hung it on
(06:21):
a line in your yard.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That just feels weird. My mom still does that we
have a farm. Yeah, so she hangs it out and
it's like windy and hot, it'll get it dry pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So my grandma used to do a few weird things. Again,
she my one grandma. Again I have I feel like
I have a white grandma and like a Mexican grandma.
So that's who I am, right, So my Mexican grandma.
I guess she would like take as much as she could,
like from the diner that she was at or whatever,
like sugar packets and jelly packets, saltines. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:54):
So she'd always like be like she'd be like giving
me treats like little here you go, like because I
was a good kid, and me little jelly packets all
the time, Like thank you, Tita, little jelly packets out
of her purse all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You don't really love those little diner marmalades and yeah, seriously,
I would eat those like they were candy when I was.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Always the reject. Flavors like orange.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, and what else would she always do?
Speaker 6 (07:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Growing up old school, it's more of an old school
because they're from the old country. They're just old people
from a different generation. I remember opening up her fridge.
I told this story recently, and I remember saying, Teta, gross,
what's that? And it was a tomato with like fungus
all over it, like an old rotten tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Pobby there for three months. I'm like, why don't you
throw this away?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
No, no, Juno, it's okay, it's okay. And she rubbed
it out with her thumb, thumb and took like a
giant bite out of it. So it was just like
different generations of people. They wasted nothing. That's just how
it was.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Not for real. And you know what, there's something more.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know. There's something really special about your your
grand parents and old people. Looking back, seriously, they were there,
they wanted to spend time with you. They were great
role models. And that's what we're getting at because National
Senior Citizen's Day.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Did they love jars the way my grandparents did. Everything
was in a jar, quartersicking change. Yeah, jars.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
My grandma in the kitchen had one jar of saltines
and one jar of pieces of sourdough, bread.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Jars of things.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Okay, if you were hungry, shut up and go get
a slice of sour dough and put some butter on it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They'd give you sweet grandparents snacks just like that. Like
I said, yeah, maybe some Graham crackers with jelly on it,
or tortilla gonmnte guilla little salt, whatever it was. You know,
your grandparents did different things for you. So your best
Grandma Grandpa's stories and memories, and if they're sports related,
that's cool too. Mauser hits us up in Cincinnati. Everyone's
(08:51):
grandparents had recipes written on index cards. That's a good
They always had the recipes for sure, recipes written down.
And let's see, Grandma was always bacon stuff. Do you
know what grandma's love to do Go to the salon
and put their head onto that uh that astronaut looking thing.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, under that helmet.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, it could be like like hot air.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think they love I feel like RICHI used to
get his haircut like that when I first met him, Like, dude,
get a fade? What is it with your mel Gibson quaff?
RICHI used to sit under that moon helmet.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Grandparents love perms for some reason. They bingo, so did
Gary Carter. I think Gary Carter and grandparents.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Curling irons and then also wearing curlers to bed. My
grandma's names were Helen and Nancy. How more grandma is that?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
My grandma Harriet and Celia was a very grandma name.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, very grandma names.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Let's go to Dave and Idaho share some grandparents stories,
then we'll get to some more again, a few reasons.
It's National Senior Citizen's Day, and studies prove that all
of our core values, our core values were passed on
from our grandparents. So they had bigger impact than you
even realize on your life and who you are. And
(10:00):
they just were different than today's grandparents. That's just a fact.
And it's also Sister Jean's one hundred and sixth birthday,
the mascot of the Loyola Ramblers, So happy birthday to her.
And we get to your phone calls now eight seven
seven ninety nine, O Fox, You.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Know what grandparents love to do? Hide cash?
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, because they came from a generation under the mat
that didn't believe banks, banks for failing. Again, hide the money.
Do you guys remember this? I just started watching The
Sopranos again just because it's been twenty years. Right, Do
you remember when Pollie Walnuts dos his mom in the
old age home. But he really didn't want to, but
he threw it in the old age home and one
of the ladies it gets out that she keeps money
(10:40):
under the mattress, and Paulie Walnuts breaks into the old
lady's house.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Remember that day?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Hey, how about the when we talked about this a
few months ago, the guy who found forty grand sewn
into a couch.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Oh yeah, Old people loved hiding money, absolutely great one.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That's why a lot of our grandparents hoard things or
hoarded things too, because their parents went through the Great Depression.
So everything they got their hands on that was some
value to them, they kept it forever.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You find some old band aid tin, some old Suecrets
tin and a medicine capsule and.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Nails or something. All right, that's an emergency fund.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Old people loved old just in case of an emergency,
it's a ready day fund.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Give you a couple more. I think I think these
are all universal. I think old people love rocking chairs.
Oh yeah, Oh, they love.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
To rock in a chair. They rocked out, They rocked out.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Furniture was handmade back then, people made rocking chairs all
the time.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know what, Old people loved Ethan Allen. Old people
loved china closets. They love to display their plates. Now
with our generation, do you think you know one grown
man or woman that's like thirty forty fifty years old
that displays plates.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
That's to find china. We break out for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Find China is definitely a generational thing. People of our
generation don't give it.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Really, squad, we're gonna eat off paper plates.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh you know what else Old people love, God bless
my grandma, my nana, my dad's.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Mom, Hummels, old lady Hummels.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Like those collectibles, you know, little statues that they had, figurines.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, glad you bring up the way they decorated. Oh yeah,
they covered all the furniture.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Dole Doile was my grandmam. The only one who hung
up spade shaped fans on the walls.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And they loved screen doors with like a covered wagon
on the on the front. Oh, every screen door had
that same design. It was a white screen door with
like a wagon. Some sort of gick, some sort of jock,
I'll give you not. They loved what do you call
those rug spot Remember we looked at a recently those rugs,
rag mats or something where like when you would go
(12:44):
in their house to wipe your feet, it would just
be a bunch of strings connected by a different colors.
Look up or is it rag mat? Ragrug or rag matt?
And you'd be like, yeah, Greg, grandma had that right
in front.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of the sink.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Grandparents loved I used that for naptime and kindergorns shoehorns.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Who are painting the butt again?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
He needed a horn?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Harriet, where's my shoe horn? It's not bending over? You
put it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Every grandparent and you know what TV's back then, they
were a piece of furniture. Think of like how your parents,
your grandparents TV set.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
That's what it was. It was a TV set.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It was a wood piece of furniture that like sat
as the centerpiece. And you know what they sat in
watching the TV set. We mentioned it the other day,
Grandpa's lazy boy. Grandpa loved his recliner. Grandpa fell asleep
and as a recliner all night. That's how it was.
And it smelled like him, Am I right? And he
smelled what do you smelled like? Stets in brute old spice.
(13:40):
That's what Grandpa smelled like, so we're celebrating old people today.
We'll get to your phone calls. Danny, g you you
said something before? I think did you say after shave?
Someone said after shave aquavella?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Was it you? I was saying, do you know any
young person that uses after shave? I do?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Like, well, I used like you like cramo, like a cream,
like really if I'm shaving my neck and I don't want
wolf neck.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But I'm just saying, like I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I want frog eggs developing underneath their I gotta soothe
it out.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I can't stand that old spice smell.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hey, that's in my mind. I'm like, I didn't know
after shave was still a thing my dad had. I
think he probably got used it because his dad used it.
But it was called royal lime l y m e
and that stuff just smelled like an old man. It's
all royal lime qu l's. You should bring it back, sir.
You can buy it, I get I don't know where
you buy it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
You buy anything?

Old man names.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
My grandfather's name was Dwayne.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Was Dwayne Wade and Duyne that this is Dwyne the
Rock Johns, So that Dwayne is an old guy named though,
but there's some young Duins.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Back in the early eighties, my dad's whole side of
the family diehard brown Fans, and we came home from
overseas because my dad was in the military, got us
Packers Brown's tickets a fifty yard line in like nineteen
eighty two or eighty three, hoping I'd come out of
that game a Browns fan, but I walked out of
cheese it. So my best memory of my grandfather is
(15:12):
going to that football game and coming out of Packers fan.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
You made a better choice, Packers, way better choice than
the Browns. Thank you. Sorry man, Thank you Kyle and Montana.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
What's up man, Hey, guys, what's up? I got I
gotta got a story for you. Well, my great grandparents

like died in their nineties after smoking cigarettes since their
twelve crete like like.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Old like don't believe in seat bills old Like my grandparents,
they would be like seat say they restrict you.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
And I'm glad you brought the recliner because they both
died in their recliners watching like their daytime television shows.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I'm not surprised. I don't think my grandpa Price is right.

I don't know you got good on your prices, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I'm I'm quite sure if everyone else's grandparents the Lawrence
Welk Show, but I I grandparents loved that show. I
don't know if my I'm being serious, I don't know
if my grandparents slept in their bed the last like
ten years of their life. I think they slept every
night in side by side recliners. Did your grandfather sleep
in a bed every night? I feel like you, yeah,
asleep on the recliner. I have the same memory.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
They couldn't get up the stairs, so they slept in
My grandma my grandma hell in it and my grandpa
Bernard had matching recliners. They didn't even have a couch.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What old names do you remember them bringing up? Like
Grandpa Mike Tyson is the greatest of all time? Eh, Well,
excuse you hadn't seen Jack Timpsey fright, I'll tell you
and that Rocky Marcian like that.

way of just paying homage and honoring the old people

I don't want to disrespect the family game, and that
wasn't the point. So thanks for sharing. But you know

have this memory of Grandpa and his obsession with his
Cadillac or Lincoln town Car, whatever you wanted. And they
would play elevator music like they played some old guy
elevator music. It was just a different sort of thing
(19:31):

Prices right when I was answering the studio lines. My

out with us now. If you're new to the show,
Every Thursday we throw it back. We reminisce old school
in fifty hits. Get you involved, and we're just sharing
some old people memories today because it's National Senior Citizen's Day.
You know what old guys did every day, shave their
(22:20):
face every day. We live in a society now where
I can't tell you last time I shaved with a
razor blade on my face. Everyone's got some type of
stubble or beard or something going on. Isaac Longcron's cut
from the old school. Do you know anyway, Isaac one
of the few people that I know that shaves their
face every.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Day, fully shaven. He's a gentleman.
Speaker 13 (22:41):
Oh face, okay, So well today I'm going to be
out and about so I made sure of that, but
I've actually been slipping and sliding with that recently.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Isaac, you had a beard a couple months ago and
I thought it did not go well. I thought it
looked amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I thank you in the middle of a bender. People
love and I'm basing this on an old Twilight Zone episode.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Kick the Can. Oh, We're gonna play kick the Can.
They loved walking uphill both ways as Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right, So we honor senior citizens on their day,
and I'm sure they share their There are stories of
sports and their sports heroes, and hey share your stories now, we'll.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
We'll do a quick rapid fire eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, and then there's an update about MLBY
and we'll talk some NFL to wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Ronnie in New Orleans, you're on with C and I,
what's up, Ronnie?
Speaker 10 (23:34):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (23:34):

Speaker 8 (23:37):
Little same home getting off for work?
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Heading home?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Nice? So so what did grandparents love?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
IM?
Speaker 10 (23:44):
All love the Yankees and the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
And he passed it on to you, and I pass
it on to my song.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Well, he passed it on to my mom, husband and
my dad, and he passed it on to me and
to my son.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
So it goes generational.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I was gonna say way less and things to choose
from back then. We grew up in an area where
there's a lot of people that love the Brooklyn Dodgers,
a lot of grandparents love the Brooklyn Dodgers, and they
were caught in a pickle of what to do. Now,
let's say, how to Rodney and Sacramento. What's up Rodney?
Speaker 14 (24:13):
Hey, it's going on fellas anybody? Hey, So my I
just want to point out that our grandfather's man were
a different breed of gentlemen I remember, you know, being
Filipino and Hispanic. He always smelt like flowed his palmade
slicking his hair back, and he would always carry a
bro or a comb in his pocket and a handkerchief, handkerchiefs.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Good.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Can I tell you, Rodney, thank you for that. I
know what I'm looking for with these phone calls. I'm
looking for something like that to make you go to speaking.
How gross that is?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Think about Grandpa would be a car and then put
it right back in his pocket. So this is really
a question of grandparents loved blank, didn't they? And handkerchiefs, handkerchief,
handkerchief It's like you're right, they would blow their no,
wasn't it? And he mentioned the h You mentioned the
different breed on my dad's side. My dad's daddy, he's
a butcher, right. But when you see that he's a butcher,
(25:08):
his fingers are mangled like mangled, right, like there's a
different type of man.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
It was that type of man back then didn't care
about his skin, no would Yeah.
Speaker 13 (25:21):
Do you guys remember the Mister Good Wrench commercial when
we were growing up about the pair of hands, washing
the hands and all the dirt and grime would come off,
and that was the whole commercial. Yes, same principle.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
It's just how it was in Missouri. What's up, Clade Clay,
what up?
Speaker 11 (25:38):
Hey, guys? How you doing? An old guy calling in
on the topic. All right, man, Hey, So I would
have my grandfather World War two, Ben Box in the army.
Came out of World War Two. He's a pullman conductor
out of Saint Louis, which was on the trains, the
guy the entertainment trains, and he had trained from Saint.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Louis to Vegas.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
You know, a lot of drink and going on and such,
and so he had to take care of that work.
Well Pas where he died. I went up to say
last to visit him, and we were watching Roadhouse and
that line where he said, you're nice to you, it's
not time to be nice anymore. Grandpa just pointed at
(26:19):
it and looked a grind because he had taught.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Me that exact same.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Line my whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's awesome, man, that's really cool. Grandpa loved the Roadhouse.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Grandpa's loved Let's make this simple. You know grandparents loved
having the same job for fifty years. People job hop Now,
how many grandparents do you know?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They were like who.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Worked for the electric company for forty eight years old?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
People love keeping the same job their whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, I was thinking when he was telling that story,
World War two veteran all that you always hear a
similar story followed up. He boxed in the army and
he would come home from work and never complained. So
that was another like different personality trait of that generation.
He rarely complained about, you know, the stuff they'd seen.
They'd seen some stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I always think about that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
My grandfather was in Germany, I lived war, World War
two everything, and I think that generation was told to
just I just tuck those thoughts away.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yes, they never talked about.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
It, and rich we got to shout out the US military. Course,
the breed they were, they would win medals of honor
and hide those they like. My grandma would ask my
grandpa to take out his medals and he said no,
he never wanted to show off anything. And now think
of this generation and how everybody wants the spotlight on
them all time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Man, you said it, dude for real, but yeah, a
different breeded guy. Thank you guys. We got what two
or three more calls. I'll take two more. We'll a
couple more quick as we'll go to Robin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Hey Rob.
Speaker 12 (27:42):
Yeah. So I get punished in college, bad grades and
I got simp for spring break to go clear Land
with my grandfather who I grew up with. That was
just say he was respected, but he was feared. And
my grandmother first down there bus me for having cigarettes
and zip bowliner. It takes some away from me. Very
next day go out and clan my My grandfather would
(28:05):
be getting the truck after work and he's like, here
we go. We go through a drive through liquor store
outside of work, gets a bottle of gym Beam, the
six pack of co and a pack of cigarettes. He goes,
we're not going home until.
Speaker 14 (28:19):
He finished this.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Grandparents cut from a different cloth. Grandparents used to come
from handkerchiefs. Great grandparents used to also.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Grandma loved to knit and make blanket.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Grandparents also love scarfs.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
They were big on using alcohol with like for children's
like sore teeth or something like. Grandparents were quote love
to be like that's put a little whiskey on it.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
My grandma loved vix Vapo rub for everything. Yeah, let's
let me know with this. Let's say how to Kyle
in Missouri to wrap it with Kyle?
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Grandparents?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
What did grandparents love? Kyle?
Speaker 10 (28:58):
My grandpa was he was retired before I was born,
but he loved waking up in the morning and putting
on his coveralls. He also had a goodie drawer that
was filled with it was orange Circus peanuts.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And that's good, coach, you know, Orange Circus peanuts is
a good one. You just said another one. Old people
they love to wake up early. I want when we're older,
we gonna want to wake up at five in the morning,
just for the hell of it.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I think they go to bed at eight o'clock, so
they're up at five thirty.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I'm I tell you.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I worked at a cards and gift store once that
opened at like five thirty six in the morning, and
I hated it. But when I got there, there were
old people waiting for the store to beat. They want
their scratch us, I mean my scratchers at my Lucky Strike.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
They want to go to the diner at six am
for their black coffee and their toast and their meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And you know what. We're better for knowing them.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
So we'll finish with Craig and then we'll talk some
MLB real quick, right quick, Covino and Rich?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
What up Craig, Craig, Hey.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
I love you guys in the afternoon.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
So anyways, I used to go walking with my granddad and.
Speaker 12 (29:58):
He would always tell me weird stories.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
He would say, when he was a little kid, him
and his brother would walk on.
Speaker 12 (30:03):
The sidewalk and pull car out of the crack into
it from bubblegum.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Wow, that's for some manly stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Do you ever know how to say that your grand
wouldn't be kids today with your hubba bubbas? You ever
your grandparents ever tell you a story where you couldn't
believe it because of how cavalier they seemed to be
back in the desk.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Called the movie. It's a movie called Big Fish.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Like my grandparents, they would tell stories and this is
a true one. I mean the proof was in his hands.
My grandfather got his finger cut off by his brother.
They were chopping wood. And I remember being like Grandpa,
like from the knuckle down like he was had a
half a finger, and I remember saying, well, what did
(30:46):
you do? And he goes, I just picked it up
and threw it out. I'm like, you just picked up
your finger and threw it out.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's how old.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
And he goes, And my brother ran away for a
week because he thought he'd get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I'm like, and for a week, no one looked for him.
They eventually came back like what.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Wow, they operated differently. God bless them. The greatest generation.
Happy the old people and the old people around today.
I mean it is Senior's Day, Senior citizen Day. And again,
happy birthday, sister Gene, one hundred and six years old.
Now we were just hanging here getting all the phone calls.
Danny g was hard at work. Eight seven, seven ninety
(31:21):
nine h Fox and Rich started doing what Rich does best.
He started looking at these potential what would you call it,
Rich rearrangements.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
There's the baseball division. There's a lot of chatter.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
There's a lot of chatter about divisional realignment.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
If then when there's expansion in baseball.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Rob Manford opened a can of worms, intentionally or not
during the Little League Classic when he said, oh, we're
looking at expansion and perhaps realignment. And by saying that,
I said the baseball in the sports world has now
since speculated what would these divisions look like.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
City who's getting the team.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
There's been some projections, I said, the guy from the
Athletic I thought had the best possible projections, But based
on thirty two teams, I just read something else that
if every team's going to play each other the way
the schedule has been working with that number thirty two,
they're saying they wouldn't be shocked if, with all the
revenue and everything coming into baseball two new teams, they
(32:18):
may cut the schedule to one fifty four or one
fifty six. And I said, look, I want all the
baseball I could get because I'm a fan. I don't
care dragon out as long as you want. But in reality,
the problem with baseball is that the season's too long,
and for the casual fan, I think if you shorten
it up a few games, that's another win for baseball. Yeah,
(32:38):
but there is a part of me though, that thinks
all six games, does I mean it would take it
eight games? Would take it back to what the OG
baseball season was, one fifty four right before they went
to one sixty two.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Correct, Yeah, the Babe Birirth days.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That might be the only argument, like, well, we used
to have one fifty four with the babe, but I
think taken away games baseball such a statistically driven sport.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Everything in baseball, in my mind, has something to do.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
With stats and streaks, and out of one hundred and
sixty two, I think just by elimiting any games, you're
messing with baseball stats, which, for some reason of all
the sports just seems to have some relevance, right, Yeah,
But I think we're sort of getting away from that
past that yeah, because I mean, we've made so many
changes in the game and it's all benefited for the
(33:24):
greater good. So if it did go down to one
fifty four, I think you'd see again, just another positive
change for the game. People like quicker, people like shorter.
It's just how it is. Our attention spans don't have
the band with Like, for example, tonight, would you rather
watch a forty minute show or documentary on Netflix or
(33:45):
a two hour movie? I so, are you watching the
Biggest Loser documentary? Simply because they're like three forty minute episodes.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
You think of movie. I ain't got time for that.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
So one hundred and sixty two games, it just feels
like forever, everyone would sign up for a shorter season,
even the players would, well, of course they would, right,
all right, let's go to Isaac Loewencron for an update.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
What's going on?
Speaker 13 (34:06):
I low well on National Senior Citizens Day. During an
appearance on Michael Irvin's YouTube show, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones eighty two years young, said that earlier this year,
he agreed to terms of a contract extension with star
linebacker Micah Parsons, but then.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
When we wanted to send the details to the agent,
the agent sold us to stick it up right. Wait now, see,
I will show you clear. Mike and I talked, and
then we were going to send it over to the age,
and we had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything.
We were going to send it over to the agent,
(34:43):
and the agent's trying to get his nose in it
and try to come in there and improve off the
mark that we'd already said. It's the Mam and Daddy.
Speaker 13 (34:53):
Jones also said he's prepared to franchise Tag Parsons in
twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven, and added that
he the offered Parsons the most guaranteed money of any
defensive player in NFL history, as well as the most
guaranteed money of any active non quarterback.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Could it be that the agent really is sticking their
nose And you've hear this a lot, Isaac with the
you know when you have friends or family go through divorce,
like them and their wife seem to be on the
same page and then out of nowhere, the divorce attorney's like.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
No, no, fight for more.
Speaker 13 (35:22):
That's a big narrative, indeed, And at the same time,
typically it's just not something that's supposed to be done,
for an actual negotiation to be done without an agent present.
So at the same time, it was also an uncomfortable
situation that Micah Parsons was put in or contributed to
putting himself into. There's a bit of a he said.
(35:44):
He said, Well, unfortunately I stalled long enough. I have
to tell you that the Washington Nationals are leading the
New York Mets six to three now in the bottom
of the eighth inning, a game that the Mets originally
led three to nothing. Frances No Hartman, I know, Francisco
Lindor let off the game with his twenty fifth home
run of the seasons. Starling Marte added his seventh home run,
but again they're down six to three. In the bottom
(36:05):
of the eighth, Padres lead the Giants eight to four
after seven in San Diego. Earlier, Clayton Kershaw improved his
record to eight and two in the Los Angeles Dodgers
nine to five victory at Colorado.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Guys, Thank you, Isaac Lone Crown. We got more. Cavino
on Rich.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Next here on Fox Sports Radio, Hang Tight, reminiscent about
the Golden Years, The Olden Years, Great Song Iowa, Sam.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Danny g Super producer.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're Cavino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
For over forty years, tyrack has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyraq dot Com.
A tire buying should be. You know, we celebrated National
Senior Citizen's Day, and our natural default is to talk
(36:55):
about our grandparents because those were the old people in
our minds, right, they defined what old people were to us.
But really the senior citizens parents and like, yeah, the
Wade Boggses and Don Mattingly's in the George Bretts of
the world. That's the generation that's the senior citizens today. Yeah,
(37:17):
so it's kind of funny when you think about it. So, Hey,
call your dad and wish I'm a happy National Senior
Citizen's Day. And we're gonna talk more old people in
about nine minutes on over Promised. What is over promised?
It's a really fun twenty two minutes. I got a slogan,
by the way, give us twenty two minutes, We'll give
you the world.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, it's really catching on.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It's about twenty twenty five minutes Covino and Rich overpromised
because we always over promise things we don't have time
to get to. And we're gonna talk seniors and sports
like the old guys and people we thought were really
old growing up, like you said Don Sutton earlier, guys
like that. Plus we're gonna talk sports, movies and nepotism,
(38:00):
Jersey sales.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
What does it mean? Find out?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
On over Promised Brand new episode We Go Live, Episode
one oh five and nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Well, you were talking about all those seniors. You're right,
We're we're.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
We're talking about seniors from when we were kids, because
you're right, you know parents are today. Michael Jordan's a
couple of years away from being a senior. Magic Johnson
sixty six, he's a senior citizen. There you go like,
I mean, are like you said, all those baseball players,
all these guys, how old is Joe Montana?
Speaker 6 (38:30):
Now?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
What the hell do you think about that?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
There? Right?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Just think about all the people your parents' age, they're
around that age.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
John Tanna's sixty nine, senior citizen exactly. See.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
So it's funny how our default goes to our grandparent.
It's like that meme that says when you think thirty
years ago, you think that's nineteen seventy exactly. And speaking
of senior citizens, Low and Cron dropped that bomb about
Jerry Jones eighty two years old.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
He looks, say's one hundred and eighty two. All her
thoughts on that.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Do you think Michah Parsons and Jerry Jones are your
casual conversation or right? I believe they probably had an understanding.
But agents complicate things because they're fighting for more, and
they look at it like, well, we're just doing our job.
Their job is to get you the best bottom dollar
that you could get. But that's what makes things sticky.
(39:18):
And I love your example of divorce lawyers complicating things.
But even in our field, Rich, we're at the point
where you have to let agents do that work for you.
And it becomes a question of I always found this interesting.
Do you want an agent that sort of compliments you
or counteracts what you're really about? Like, if you're a
really nice guy, do you want a pit bull to
fight for you? Or do you want someone that sort
(39:40):
of mirrors the personality type that you have.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
But because once I get it, Rich and I we.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Had because Rich and I are nice guys, right, and
big companies sometimes take advantage of nice guys. So we're like, going,
we need a pit bull lawyer, pit bull agent. And
that guy rubbed everybody the wrong way, and the bosses
came back and even told us, like, this guy's not
representing you the right way.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
So MICHAEH.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Parsons is MICHAEH Parsons not being represented playing good Cup
bad Cup too. He could be like, yeah, Jerry, I
want to do this and then be like and then
tell his agent you know, you know.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's not gonna be good enough.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
But if Jerry, tell why you need an agent too,
because you don't want to ever come across like the
bad guy.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
You can't negotiate your own contract.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
If Jerry Jones is saying that he has offered Michah
Parsons the most guaranteed money for a defensive player, ever,
I am you want? I am curious what the hang
up is that? That's it right there, So it's an
interesting story. Thank you Isaac long Crown for the scoop
on that, and Michael Irvin and his YouTube show. All right, perfect, Well,
we'll see you guys tomorrow, but we'll see you in.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
A few seconds.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Over promise, We'll see you a riva dereci baby, you
and the over Promised Land.
