we love to reminisce PM Dawn style. I remember that song,
(01:06):
didn't We're gonna say reminisce like the Little River Band.
That's another one. That's another good one, and reminiscing. We
like to reminisce over you, and we like to throw
it back Pete Rock and see all smooth. That's right,
and it was a meme that got us thinking. First
and first mostly we have to acknowledge that social media
tonight is going to be a nightmare. It really is.
(01:28):
Tonight's the start of it all, the start of the nightmare,
which is an election year. I was ham said, I
won't even look, no, dude, but you're gonna I'm with
you no tonight. I might end Yeah, I'm gonna watch
the game tonight. Why get all worked up if you
don't need to. I just like to. I get to
make myself a popcorn, and I like watching others fight.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I don't have the patience for it. It's exhausting. I'm
over it. I don't need to witness.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I'm with you with all the Trump news again, guilty
on all charges. Social media might be a place you
want to avoid tonight, or you might want to pick
a fight with your aunt Nancy. I don't know, but
let's pretend it's the eighties and you have a feather
haircut and a and uh, rabbit's foot in your pocket
(02:16):
for good luck. If you don't know what I'm talking about,
it's the eighties or the nineties. For your nineties, kid,
and you have social media, you have Facebook. What's something
you would have posted back then? And then, you know,
for the sake of fun Fox Sports Radio conversation, Rich,
you did say if social media existed back then, it
would changed the way we viewed the troubles of Michael
Jordan at one point in his life. For sure. You know,
(02:39):
we didn't know celebrities and athletes the way we know
them today. So maybe we wouldn't have been singing like Mike.
I like to be like Mike. We don't know, We
don't know, because there was a mystery still there about
celebrities and athletes that we admired. Now I'll tell you
(02:59):
what I would put, because you got to think social
media today is really a matter of your flex As
the kiddos say, you're bragging rights. And we often say
on the Coveno and Rich Show when it comes to
social media, are you sharing or are you bragging? Ooth
in line, And if it were the eighties, I would
have been bragging about things that I had, like a
(03:20):
mean Hamburger helper, like a mean TV dinner. You would
take a picture of us, yo, check me out. Well,
you would have been bragging about Coavi youno. What have
took a screenshot when he got to a certain level
of Mario I got some Yeah, yeah, yeah, you would
would have been screenshot just got to warp zone sixteen.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But I really think I would have done this for real.
This is for real, for real, because when I say
it now, nobody believes me. So to have proof, I
would have taken a picture of one of my favorite
things to brag about. Back then, I grew up in
New Jersey and Cavaici's were a big deal. I was
the only half breed Mexican Italian kid rocking Cavalricci's and
(03:59):
Iowa you sweatshirts from Chess King and Merry Go Around.
If you remember those stores, dude, I promise you I
had thirty five pairs of cavalrici my friends. My friends
would come over and they would be like, oh, no way,
let's see the collection, and I'd be like, but I'm
not thirty five perfectly folded pairs of Cavarici pants their pants.
(04:21):
If you don't know, can I tell you? I'm yeah ridiculous,
heard this before, but thirty five. I don't believe you.
And I had a sweatshirt to go every pair. Thirty
five spoil as hell. I don't believe it because Caverriccie
is like one hundred dollars, which means your parents spend
thousands of dollars on your stupid pants. Snh vending was
rolling back then, bro dad was doing good. Your caption
would have been which one should I wear today? Yes,
(04:45):
with the sunglass emoji, like what's up? Yeah, I remember
the z Cavalricci pant rage of like maybe early nineties
had a hard time decided, Like kids even that had
money had like two or three pairs thirty five. That
sounds like, like, honestly, you know why because I was
the greatest kid. I was spoiled because I was a
good kid.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I think you guys were part of this too. I
don't know if listeners know this. We were all in
a bike gang when we were kids, eighties nineties kids.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
BMX is Mongoose Diamondback. We were a couple of the
other brands ohjtt sweet pegs. You know, we would have
at least posted about where we were meeting up with
friends for our BMX jumps. We would have took pictures
of the jumps we made.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Dude, that's a great one. You know why, because when
I talked to my teenage daughter, she'll ask me things like, well,
how did you guys know where to meet up? It's like,
I don't know, we had like intuition or conversations or something.
I don't know. I recently asked was asked this question
by my niece that would be a sweet tweet, right,
meeting at the street light in two hours. And because
she asked me, well, when you were in college, how'd
(05:51):
you meet up with your friends at the bar or
somewhere on the game. And I said, you know what,
then back then in college, and I'm not that old.
I went to college in the early two thousands, not
everyone had a cell phone. In fact, it was the
time where like occasionally every so of another friend got
a cell phone, like, oh you got a cell phone. Now,
early two thousands, you were still rocking dry erase boards
(06:14):
on the dorm room doors. You'd be like, hey, we're
going to we're going to Chuck's. We're going to Chuck's
Bar at nine o'clock. And then it was like if
you were there, you were there. That's the fun of
like bumping into people like you made it, you're here.
You know what else you would have posted too on
social media if it existed in the eighties nineties, If
you were fortunate enough to go to a baseball card
(06:35):
show or some sort of convention, comic book or something
and you got to meet a celebrity back then, like
no way, Claudelle Washington's here signing autographs, you would definitely
have posted that picture of you and Tim tuffl Rich
take a picture with Vince Evans. Heah, yeah, me and
Butch Wining geru bro. Don't be jealous, sink of hashtag.
(06:57):
You wish you were me right now. Think of all
the eight nineties hot women that made zero dollars for
being hot, and they're probably very jealous of the influencers
of today. Like there's a good looking women today that
do nothing more than like have a little ten second
jingle of a TikTok song, turn to the side, pop
their butt and like wink at the camera, and it's
(07:18):
like twelve thousand, I'm sorry, twelve million views. They're probably
women in the eighties or nineties, Like man, I wish
I could have just put it out there like that
and made money. They had to find modeling contracts and
you know, go the hard route. Think about it. It's
the eighties nineties, Like we said in our fantasy throwback
old school in fifty hits. What would you have been
posting back then? It could be sports related, doesn't have
(07:38):
to be. You gotta think about the way we lived, right,
Like if you were going places, because again, people use
it to brag about where they are and what they're doing, right,
so you probably would have posted a mean picture of
here I am at sesame place, because where else were
your parents taken? Oh ba, I'm saying where else where
you go? And it's not that you came from a
(08:00):
lot of us didn't come from money. So what you're
saying here I am at the pocon House, I'm thinking
of sports cultural events that would have had social media
talking and fighting, and I feel like one of those
big ones. I hate to take the conversation all serious
on you. You're gonna go challenger on us. No, I was
saying sports not spaceships. When Magic Johnson HIV positive, that
(08:26):
would have been the most divisive should he play, shouldn't
he play? Because people at that time were still unaware,
like could you catch it? What if he touches you? Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They the meme game would have been pretty fun without
Remember Karl Malone didn't want to play against him. Yeah, yeah,
there would been a lot of memes and guys like
Karl Malone would probably be in prison. See that's what
we think about. Honestly, when you think about how it
was such a different world back then, Kadem Hardison style,
it's different. You know. The athletes didn't have to deal
(08:57):
with that twenty four to seven the way they have
to deal Dan Byer think of the eighty six Mets.
And I only bring that up because it's not just
my team. There's been books the bad guys won. They
were historically known as just honestly partying, having sex with
women and doing cocaine. Lenny Dykstra, Darryl Dwight, Keith Hernandez.
The only clean cut guy on the team was the
(09:18):
late great Gary Carter, who is an outcast in a
way because he was a good guy. Yeah, imagine those
fights I think there was a fight where like Timmy
Tuffel and Ron Darling or Ray Knight were having fist
fights every time they went on the road women in drugs.
That team would have been destroyed. Have you ever read
the book? No, I haven't, but I believe you.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I think the meme game with Magic Johnson, by the way,
would be horrendous. Like I wouldn't want to it would
have been. It would have been the absolute worst. I'll
tell you guys what I even look back to in
terms of what I would post my tech mobile stats,
you know, like if Danny's running for eight hundred yards
with bo Jackson, like you'd.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Be posting those on YouTube of you playing and even
the end screen, you know, or the Christian Okoya like
eighteen touchdowns, you know, six hundred yards. That's what I
would be left exactly what I would be posting. Damn well.
Also TV, I like that.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
I like that because we used to go to arcades
and we have to explain to kids what those are
unless they've been to one of the throwback ones that
is opened up now. But remember at the end, you're
the order the stats would come up on the screen.
You were always trying to.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Put your initials on it.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, you were always trying to get up to the
top of the leader board a number five. Imagine taking
a shot of that and then posting it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
By the way, dude, that is the best memory in
dan Byer. You're soul right, because that was the coolest
thing to have your initials right up there with the
league leaders at the arcade. You all roun third on Cubert, Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
And then when you went back to the arcade, you
you always checked to see if it was still there,
if you were still in the.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Top, parents that their quarters were worth something. Look what
I did so proud of it. You were so proud
of that. You would have definitely been posting that, There's
no question. Then there were idiots like me. You could
never get on the board. But if I did once,
I didn't know how to put my initials in, so
it would just be like d you know, and I
like I couldn't get the other two because I had not,
Like I would have hit the enter and then it
(11:15):
would have just locked it in and frozen. That's so funny, dude,
Or like your Papa shot scores, like hell, yeah, So
what would you have been posting back then? We didn't
have the opportunity to think about your kids, think about
young players today, athletes, and think about what they would
have been doing back then, you know, and who would
have been a nightmare to deal with. There was a
lot of flashy dudes back then that we didn't get
(11:37):
to see how flashy they were, Like like Deon Sanders.
We see it now, but we didn't see young Neon
Dion and his social media ways. We didn't see those things.
We didn't have the opportunity. What do you think we
would have seen it this hypothetical. Are we holding athletes
to the political correct standards of today or oh we
just keep it inconsistent with the times. Because there's guys
(12:02):
like Charles Barkley. There's guys like Dennis Rodman. There's guys that,
like I feel like, have always spoke in their mind,
and you know, back then it was like, yeah, who cares.
Now they might have been under more of a microscope. Hey,
I think Dennis Rodman would have found himself in more
controversial situations, being outspoken, coming at people posting weird things.
You know, we would have been like, man, I mean
it was already a debate. We would have more insights
(12:23):
on all those guys already a debate to begin with.
But I think if social media existed in the early
eighties and mid eighties, the whole Larry Bird versus Magic
Johnson like that, you know, the whole the tired debates
of you know, MJ or Lebron. I feel like it
would have been a lot of magic Larry.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Also think about this with music and Facebook and other
social media platforms, kids coming out of school have been
caught for posting lyrics like athletes. You know, somebody digs
it up, like, oh, they wrote the N word on
there because it was part of lyrics they quoted. We
grew up with NWA. We were in the NWA days.
Can you imagine the lyrics we would have posted.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Oh I'd gotten so much trouble would have haunted us. Yeah,
we had been canceled because Lukes Gywalker. Yeah we posted
some lyrics from NWA. So we're canceled now. Yeah that
we got away with that. Definitely got away with that.
What else would you have posted? Think of this too,
just polarizing figures from back then. Athletes from back then,
(13:24):
we would have seen a completely deeper side of what
they were really about. And it's kind of interesting when
you think about how younger kids are growing up knowing
everything about these dudes.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I could see Steve Cavino standing in the left field
wall or out like forty feet past it and being like,
here's where my twenty fourth home run land is.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, but you know, shooting back to home plate like wow,
that is far. And I posted all my trophies on
my Instagram story. You know what you would You would
definitely have taken your news clippings, right, because that's all
you had. We had the Internet, but you had your
news clippings of articles that you may have been involved
in or hey, Dan Meyer pitched a two hit shut
(14:05):
out for the Little League Warriors. I don't know. And
you know, you would definitely have posted your clippings because
you didn't have that. You didn't have that. I didn't
have that. I'm just thinking. I was just thinking of
a would you have used it? Like back then? What
made you popular or what got you? You know and
(14:27):
in with maybe a girl you liked was all stuff
you did in person, like you never had to worry
about having a strong social media game. No, and rich
you probably would have tried to throw your game at
you know, some of the female athletes of the day
probably just to like get on their radar. Rich was
like Rich was big, big, Tanya Harding fan Rich probably
(14:47):
would have been diving into ms.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That's a great thought, Rich, Because those of us who
had strict parents, like my mom was strict, the girls
couldn't really call the house, you know what I mean.
There was no way for us to take those old
school phones with the long cards and hide like in
the garage or a room and talk to a girl
without being bothered by somebody in the family. So we
would have communicated with the opposite sex a lot better
back then, had we had social media.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And really that's a great thought, but not just the
opposite sex. Seriously, like professional athletes like in order to
like if you collected baseball cards or if you wanted
an autograph, they would put out those address booklets like
those what Ady Beckett books of the addresses and of
course the value of the cards, but you would get
(15:31):
books with the addresses, and you would take your chance
to write to somebody and get it back. You be
so thrilled. Imagine if you had the opportunity to just
hit up Don Mattingly on social media when you were
a kid and just ask for an autograph or something like.
They have that opportunity. We didn't have that. The accessibility
of out of communicating what your heroes back then was
(15:51):
like unheard of. Yeah, the accessibility of celebrity and athlete,
I think sort of watered down celebrity and athlete, right
maybe yeah, Like no, you're right, or we're looking at
it different.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
We learned to write like an English teacher would always
do the same exercise back in the eighties or nineties.
The whole class would write to one of their heroes
and we'd always see who got a letter back.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I was one for one I did it with because
I didn't. I was like, if I write to Dave Winfield,
I'm gonna be one of you know, a one hundred
million kids. So Cavino decided, I decided, I'm writing to
Bobby Meacham, Number twenty short stop for the New York Yankees.
No one cares about Bobby Meacham except for me. And
I sent them like a stack of cars that I
had had, all the Bobby Meacham's, the Fleer to Don Russ,
(16:33):
the tops, you name it, leaf. I thought you reach
out to Richard Simmons. No, you did so reach out
to Bobby Meacham sent me back a letter, handwritten letter,
Yankee like pens and pins, nice and all autographed cards.
You know, so I was like, man, you would have
thought I would have tried again. I was one for one.
I stopped at the perfect record. But if you had
(16:54):
that accessibility in the eighties nineties, you would have been
trying to be friends with with your random sports here,
I think we're we're hitting a bunch of different angles here.
Simplify with this simple question, would you have wanted it?
Or are you happy with the way we were raised
in the eighties nineties. Maybe you were raised before that.
If you're a kid, if you're roughly forty, you grew
(17:16):
up without social media and smartphones. Do you look back
and say, I cherished the mom I'll be back for dinner.
I cherished the You know you have a click call
from mom at the ball pick me up? Like do
you cherish the I rode my bikes around town and
no one knows where I was. The simplicity of like
any independence, Hey Danny, when do we having dinner? I
(17:37):
don't know when your father gets home and you'd be
playing wiffle ball in the street you saw your dad's
car coming down the box. That's just thinking. The way
we grew up was the best. I'm saying. You saw
your dad's car driving down the box and you're like,
all right, let's wrap up wiffle ball because as soon
as dad goes in the house, Mom's gonna say ritchie dinner.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Well, we know all of our dads and granddads had
more fun back then because nobody could track then.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
You didn't touch on if we had access to social
media eighties nineties, you would have had all those memories
playing with football. You might not have been outdoors riding
your bike as much as you would. Yeah, they might
not be as many of those moments.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I think in general, you just I remember things a
lot better because now we rely on endless pictures we
can take on our cell phone. We have posts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's true. I don't remember the phone. It's a phone
number theory. Sam. It's like if I asked you to
tell me your grandma's phone number, you know it like that.
But if two best friends too, if I asked you
anyone today's phone number, you like, I don't know because
I have something I can soult a piece of technology
and rely on that which I have memories that are
much more vivid from up until, like I don't know,
endto high school. Well, I was saying, that's that's uh.
(18:43):
Kavino and I always have the theory of while your
kids generation are kids. Have you got little kids now?
You might say, oh, how cool for them. They're gonna
have every memory possible videos at every event of their life,
but they might not really care that much because it's accessible.
We sort of want what we can have, right, Like,
Danny G. Why would a video of you playing football
(19:04):
with your neighbor when you're seven mean a lot to
you because you don't even think it exists? Yeah, little CoA.
How old your son two? Yeah? Not even very Oh
he looks too, he's nine months. Why do I kill
It's time's not flying for that kid, dude, So nine
months old. He's got a mustache already. Yeah, nine months.
The kid's forty pounds took him to get his first
(19:26):
Raiders tattoo last week. Nine months old. Danny G. You probably,
I guarantee you and Brenda, your wife, probably have twenty
thousand photos of him on your phone's combined easy. My
parents might have thirty photos from eighty five to nineteen ninety.
You would have a lot of pictures of you and
your friends on bikes, and we don't. I have maybe one.
I don't have any one cracked polaroids somewhere in a
(19:47):
box you know. Com You don't ask me recently because
we were celebrating an anniversary of our show and we
were saying, like, yo, early on, we have some pictures
of our show. Would you believe I don't have one
picture of me at my college radio station. I don't
have one picture of my college dorm room. Dude.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
That's a great point. Somebody asked me on I think
National Radio Day. Somebody said in the group, uh, post
a picture of you at your first radio station.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm like, I don't even have a picture of that. Yeah,
because we weren't. It's not what we were concerned about either. No,
I have a pervy question because you don't have cameras
and you don't have cell phones and stuff like that
back then on hand, do you wish you had a
picture of every girl you dated, or went on a
day with, or hooked up with, because the reality is
(20:32):
you probably some of them were just a blurry memory
in your mind like you mean you mean like a
smutty picture. I'm just saying even a regular picture, like
you know, I mean I kind of do. You don't
have pictures of all the girls you date? Oh you
mean like hooked up? Like like if you were to
like you nowadays, if you were to go to a
college bar all night, you'd be a click click click
people taking a million photos. Yeah, might have been some
(20:53):
cute I remember that cute bong girl you made out with,
and you know, and and by the way, you could
tie that right back into sports. I was at nineteen
ninety six World Series when the Yankees won. I have
one picture, no one picture. I don't got no one
picture of me at the parade, not nothing, nothing, got
nothing from that except hear what's in my brain? I was.
That's a whole lot. You chose, you the difference. I
(21:13):
was at the twenty fifteen World Series and the Mets
are in it, miserable because the Mets stink. But I
have like a whole, like you know, probably hundreds of
photos of that experience. So it just shows you times
have changed. And this is all based on a meme.
We saw, and we do this every Thursday. We throw
it back old school in fifty hits and the meme reads,
let's pretend it's the eighties or nineties whenever you grew
(21:35):
up and you have social media, you have Facebook, what's
something you would have posted back then? And then you
got to think about, well, what's social media used for?
Mostly now tonight it will be used for fighting politics.
Tonight's gonna be all about politics because of Trump's conviction
ANDBA and NBA and NHL playoffs. It's really a big
(21:56):
look at me, and how would you have said, hey,
look at me? Hey? And if you want at if
you want a little fun conversation at dinner tonight when
you get home from work, Hey, ask your husband or wife,
ask ask your family. What would you have wanted to
post back in your childhood if you had social media?
And what would you have wanted to look back on?
But you got d Your parents were young, so your
mom would have been posting pictures of her meat loaf. Well,
(22:17):
think about it? Is that any endo for something? No?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Well, yeah, quickly on the phone, heres Reno Trevor and Reno, Yo.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Trevor, what's up man?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Hey, how are you guys.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
The first thing that I thought of when you guys
are talking about it was I would definitely be posting
like my Halloween candy hall and my Christmas presents and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Oh yeah for sure. Yeah, Yo, check out with seeing
it brought me? Bro What else we got? Daddy? Uh?
Brian and Augusta? Yo, Bry what's up?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
What you got?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
What would you look back on social media wise if
we had it.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
If we had it, I probably would post Because I
talked to a friend of mine about this the other day.
Our parents would have died if they knew how far
from home we actually went.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
CA. You know, and I have talked about that feeling
of you know, when you're riding your bike and you
even know yourself, you're like I've gone too far, you
know feeling anyway, You're like you're one town too far.
You're like where am I? I know I'm too far
and there's no GPS, no int Wait, Brian, would you
have posted where you were at? Or no?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Now, I probably would have posted where I was at
because my mom probably wouldn't have had social media anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh you know what a lot of our moms would
have been posting booty shots. There's a lot of moms
now the shots, right, what if your mom was what
if your mom was posting like bikini pictures.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Well, a lot of our parents snooped in our rooms.
They probably would have snooped on our social media too.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, we would have had a lot of pictures of
our rooms, which we don't have because we would have
been whatever we were doing, we'd be taking pictures of it,
whether we were in our room messing around, horsing around,
or if you were outside. You know how you see
people kids today, they got a little phone set up
and they're they're just filming themselves taking swings or whatever.
You would have none of that. That would have been
(23:59):
valuable a fun way, Like Danny, imagine me, you and
Covino we're playing out of the NBA jam and I
would have been on my Instagram story like, hey, what's up?
But you playing in your jam? Like like that would
have been you know, that's right.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
We would have took pictures of our record and CD collections,
our posters, sports posters.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Oh that's a good one, my tvd cliss, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I would have took pictures of my first speakers and turntables,
all the DJ equipment.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, uh, you know what's a good thought. You know what, though,
I do have something based on that on VHS somewhere, somewhere,
who knows where, but somewhere I do have the first
time I got to Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's punch Out,
and it was when he lost to Buster Douglas. So
nineteen ninety. I have that VHS somewhere and I go,
but Dad, come here, good luck find me at the
(24:44):
camera of fighting Mike Tyson. Hey, so, what would you
have posted if it existed back then? How would have
it changed? Sports? Let us know at Covino and Rich
and at Fox Sports Radio. All right now the first centuries,
the bond between horse and human has been forged by
trust and hands on care. Back in the day, they
(25:04):
couldn't tweet about it, Nope. Now the sport of thoroughbred
racing is combining those traditions with cutting edge tech and
meaningful reforms, raising its safety standards to the highest levels.
New investment in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes
and a horse has stride, and the use of advanced
imaging technologies help fleag potential problems in the early intervention
by expert veterinarians, reducing injury risk. Scientific experts test, measure,
(25:27):
and analyze racing surfaces to ensure consistency, and the sport's
new and dependent regulator, the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority,
is implementing comprehensive reforms, including state of the art testing, monitoring,
and strict enforcement, along with new uniform safety standards andenhancevedinary
protocols and other measures to ensure the safest environment possible
for racing meaningful reforms the latest technology, higher standards. Every day.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
We didn't do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man.
Shout out to Billy Joel. I don't even want to
add to the nightmare that is social media later tonight.
Oh my goodness, right now, you know who another quote
innocent man is? Jorge Lopez dan Byer, What a producing
(27:11):
news anchor printed out the statement First and foremost, this
is the Met who threw his glove into the crowd
and then said he was the worst team in baseball.
That we spent the first dowur discussing. First and foremost,
I apologize to my teammates, coaches, fans in front office.
I feel like I let them down today, both on
and off the field. I also want to clarify my
(27:32):
post game remarks because I had no intention of disparaging
the New York Mets organization. During that interview. I spoke
candidly about my frustrations with my personal performance and how
I felt it made me the worst teammate in the
entire league. Unfortunately, my efforts to address the media in
English created some confusion and generated headlines that do not
reflect what I was trying to express. I wish the
(27:55):
team the best and hope that God continues to give
me the strength to know move on with his personal
professional life. You know, I hope that sums it up.
Is that a great spin or is that the truth?
Do I think that's what happened. You remember when Joe
Rogan had the epiphany to not interview fighters after they
(28:17):
lost and after they got knocked out because they're not
in the right state of mind. So he doesn't do
that anymore. Yeah, I think this is a lesson learned here.
It's like, when you're speaking to somebody with a language barrier,
you can't just assume and run with the story that
he disparaged the team, because guess what, now he has
no job, And for an entire twenty four hour cycle,
everybody in sports built a reputation for this guy that
(28:39):
he didn't even really deserve. He was taking accountability of
his own crappy actions, and we ran with the bleeding story.
That's not fair at all, and I think that people
should have learned a major lesson from this.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
It's a very good point, Cavino, because it is also
why some athletes strictly use an interpreter. Yeah, some people
feel that it's the opposite that they are hiding or
want to say it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
But it's for that reason.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
There's also a reporter aspect to this, where because the
media guidelines and this may have popped up in COVID,
but sometimes always seems to be a deal of a
cool off period from the game, and reporters in media
are like, we don't want to wait an hour afterwards,
Like we want the real emotion, because that's what you
get when you're in media. But there there's there are
(29:26):
two sides to everything, and this this story has multiple
facets just in regard to how you deal with media
and how you use possibly an interpreter.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, I was thinking about this. Mike blamed the Mets
here where was the guy, you know, where was the
organization backing up their player? Well, I mean he chose
not to have an interpreter, which is odd because there's
never been a time in baseball history. Mean into something
you're not one hundred percent confident about it. Even though
they tried to get the the words out of his mouth,
(29:56):
that's not He was having a hard time in that situation.
I don't know, there's never been a time in baseball
history where it interpreter has gone wrong. I know, no one, no, no, no, no,
no one. Yeah, show Hey, I got it. But I'm
just saying like it's a I think it's a lesson
learned here Alison Chaine style again, we're live from the
tire rack dot com Studios. That's the Jorge Lopez Update
(30:18):
where Cavino and Rich at Covino and Rich and based
on our previous old school in fifty hits, thought about
how would social media have changed our lives growing up
in the world of sports in the eighties nineties. Dan
Byer announced that the Chicago Bears are going to be
featured on Hard Knocks August sixth. Who do you think
(30:40):
would have been the coolest team to get an inside
scoop on back then? I'd say your Mets. Honestly, like
your eighty six Mets, that would have been wild. I
told you that we're just all doing cocaine and right,
maybe again like the eighty five Bears, Like the eighty
five Bears with the refrigerator, Perry and Jim mccander's right,
that's what makes hard knocks all. You get to know
(31:01):
the players and you see the cast of characters, and
you're more familiarized with them and you're invested in them. Imagine,
imagine more in imagine more real insight on like the
Showtime Lakers of the eighties. Right.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Also, how about the glory days of the Hollywood Raiders
when they were in LA with Howie Long and Lyle Alzado.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And dude, that would have been so cool to see
how these dudes, you know, not to be interacted in
the locker room and what it was all about back then,
that would have been really cool. Not to be a
homer for my team. But the straight up quarterback controversy
of Steve Young and Joe Montana genuinely dude, not really
thinking the other person deserved it. Farv and Rogers, that controversy,
you know, see just that interaction I'm saying, you know,
(31:40):
did he really embrace Saron Rodgers back then? What was
it like to be part of that scene, part of
that locker room? We didn't have that. We didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Also, we didn't mention we didn't have Facebook when the
whole OJ thing was going on. Man, can you imagine,
Oh James would have Yeah, oh, Rodney King, from Rodney
King to OJ. Everyone would have been giving their thought
on that.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And then think about it about the Bears hard Knocks
announcement to it. That's pretty cool. The crude memes, the
ones that are just terribly tasteless, you would have seen
those for the Challenger. You'd have seen those for all
types of tragic Clinton. Bill Clinton almost exists now we
find him now then they're you know, twenty five years old.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Seriously, that black and blue dress meme when I had
a whole different meaning, Oh yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Think of how many people would have remixed Bill Clinton
saying I did not have sexual relations until I get
a club song or something great. Yeah, we missed that
on a lot. I did not have sexual sexual sexual
But then again, would you have changed anything? Probably not. Yeah.
I think we grew up just fine. Yep. I mean,
you know, I feel like we are prisoners of our
own childhood. But I would argue that growing up in
(32:49):
the eighties and nineties was pretty sweet. I almost enjoy
getting social media as a young man instead of as
a kid. You got to we were the last generation
to truly enjoy worry free childhood activity, maintain our innocence,
you know, not for sure? Yeah, I think that made
all the difference. Bliss when you got a preteen teenage
daughter and young girls are like, don't post that, Oh,
(33:11):
don't take my picture, don't pull Like imagine if you
told your parents, like, don't post that, or mom, I'm
not make up ready for a picture. Our kids are
that's bad they were. My parents would have definitely posted
a picture of me like on the toilet, and I
would have been so embarrassed. Why would you do that?
(33:32):
Why would you do that? The kids are making fun
of me. There's a classic picture that we could never post, obviously,
but this picture of Kavino's sitting on his mom's lap,
and Cavino's like naked, and he's got to be at
least like nine. I think I'm like fifteen years old.
It's just you know, my mom, he's my baby. I
think my mom gave me a bad looking baby. Yeah,
I had a mustache for Shiv said to me once
(33:53):
he goes, don't you remember getting a bath? In the sink.
I was like, well, when you're a little kid. Yes,
I'm pretty sure he remembers because his mom bab him
until until he was like five. Was a mama's boy.
What are you gonna do. Let's go to an update.
We got dB dan byendan.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yeah, guys, in case anybody was just tuning in at
this point. Mets reliever Jorge Lopez was de fade earlier
today released the statement apologizing for his actions on and
off the field during the last night's game against the Dodgers.
Lopez said he had no intention of disparaging the Mets
organization and intended to say that he felt like the
worst teammates in the league.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Hey, by the way, I don't know if the Hispanic
culture has like a like an Al Sharpton type or
like a Jesse Jackson type. You're you know, why don't
you be the guy if there was one, or if
there is one, he should be coming out and be like, Yo,
this is unjust, this isn't right. What happened to his
dude is wrong. The guy could be put him on
the spot. They ran and now he doesn't have a job.
(34:49):
Who's the guy on Fox News or the mustache. Who's
not John Stossel. No, No, the coldo Roldo Rivera. He
could be the guy should He needs to come out
and be like, yo, I'm calling a meeting for all
Latino players. This is wrong. He's kind of an ambassador
for a lot of people. I'll be the first to
say it right here on Fox Sports. It's wrong. I
like Herodo Vivera. But but now I leave it to you. Herldo,
(35:11):
oh man.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
I never have heard somebody stumped on Heraldo's name before.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
That's what it was like. It was just evading me.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
That's all right, that happens good in day baseball. Astro's
just blank the Mariners for nothing. Brewers were six to
four winners against the Cubs. Twins got by the Royals
seven to six, while in twelve it was the Raise
six A's five. The NFL selected the Bears to appear
on hard Knocks during training camp in early August on HBO.
At least early August is when it's going to start
(35:38):
Tuesday night, August sixth. More NFL News Drew Brees will
be inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame during the
twenty twenty four season, saying today.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
That is.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Saying today that if his arm didn't give out, he
could have played three more seasons.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
His body feels fine. It was good to go tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Game five Mavericks Timberwolves, eight thirty Eastern Time, Derek Lively
still a question mark for Dallas.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
You guys. Sorry to interrupt, Dan Vir, but it's timber Wolves.
Let's get it right. I think Manzi's leaning into it now,
right I listen, she's saying now she's just going timber Wolves.
One other update, Donald Trump lost thirty four nothing right. Blowout,
by the way, not politically, it's not funny. It's that
(36:22):
it's an actual sports score.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
That's why, Like, I think it's funny, and that it
turns out that way.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Thirty four nothing. It sounds like when Brady the Patch
played like a bottom feeder in the two thousands, I tweeted.
I asked if it was Scoragami. Thank you, thank you

because my mom broke him down throughout the years, and
I'm sure right about now he's in his tidy white

(39:06):
it's time for this week's pro theweek drums please the
Express pros Pro Theeek Award goes to because I feel
like it's going under the radar, he Lopez. No, dude,
that's a shame. What's happening to him? You're making a mock.
Make him the Proeka, make him the pro the week.
He can't, but he is setting a good example of
(39:27):
what not to do in the future. Okay, the Express
Pro Pro Theeek Award goes to Anthony Volpi of the
New York Yankees. You're probably saying, why I'll get you
got to pick it because I got the picture and
I'm a Yankees fan. And guess what. He's got a
twenty one game hit streak going on really ties him
with Joe DiMaggio for the second longest hitting streak in Yankees'
(39:49):
franchise history by a player who's twenty three years older younger.
He's going for twenty two street games tonight against the
Anaheim Angels of California or whatever we call them now,
and dude is just yeah, and it's just exciting to
see a dude that had so much promise. He got
a Gold Glove last year, but as you know, he
(40:09):
struggled at the plate and the dude is just playing
the way everybody expected him to play as one of
those untouchable Yankee stars and stars. Props to him. Let's
see how far it goes. But when you're doing things
as a young player that guys like Derek Jeter didn't do,
that says something. Twenty two games. If he gets a
(40:30):
hit tonight, something to look forward to aside from your
NBA playoffs, you know. Graps again to Anthony Volpi for
being our express Pro Pro the week. While to think
how insane that Demaggio status. Yeah, I mean, he'd have
to he'd almost have to triple what he's doing now,
(40:50):
which is just seems un unlikely anyone will ever ever
do that fifty six game. Real shame is Dom Dimagio.
You know why, because it's brother. There was Joe, and
Dom was a beast, and he lost three years of
his prime serving the military or else. That dude could
have been a Hall of Fame player. And everyone talks
about ugly as Joe all the time. Yankee clipper Dom DiMaggio,
(41:12):
Dom DiMaggio's brother, But Joe had fifty six games in
nineteen forty one, as you guys know. Second place is
Pete Rose right, forty four games. I believe Pete Rose. No,
in fact, all the numbers have changed, right, but it
was I guess hal Chase in nineteen oh seven. I
guess that's the Yankee record. Volpi clearly has ways to go,
(41:35):
and if he hits twenty five, the only Yankee batter
to achieve hitting that streak is Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter.
So he's getting closer and closer now, and he up
his average to two eighty five. Longest hitting streaks in
Major League Baseball history. DiMaggio number ones at fifty six,
number two, I don't think I count it if it's
(41:55):
the eighteen hundreds he counted, of course, eighteen ninety six
Willie Keeler of the Orioles. But in modern history, Pete
Rose in nineteen seventy eight had forty four games. Oh,
you were right. Mallitter had thirty nine and eighty seven.
I'm just looking at like modern history thirty eight game
hitting Street for Jimmy Rollins and five o six. As
(42:17):
far as modern history, a lot of these like eighteen hundred,
is Chase Outley have thirty five? He could hit, hit
a little squibbler and run it. Down and keep that
streak going. He's a fast player anyway. Thoroughbred Racing has

(01:06):
didn't We're gonna say reminisce like the Little River Band.
That's another one. That's another good one, and reminiscing. We
like to reminisce over you, and we like to throw
it back Pete Rock and see all smooth. That's right,
and it was a meme that got us thinking. First
and first mostly we have to acknowledge that social media
tonight is going to be a nightmare. It really is.
(01:28):
Tonight's the start of it all, the start of the nightmare,
which is an election year. I was ham said, I
won't even look, no, dude, but you're gonna I'm with
you no tonight. I might end Yeah, I'm gonna watch
the game tonight. Why get all worked up if you
don't need to. I just like to. I get to
make myself a popcorn, and I like watching others fight.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I don't have the patience for it. It's exhausting. I'm
over it. I don't need to witness.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I'm with you with all the Trump news again, guilty
on all charges. Social media might be a place you
want to avoid tonight, or you might want to pick
a fight with your aunt Nancy. I don't know, but
let's pretend it's the eighties and you have a feather
haircut and a and uh, rabbit's foot in your pocket
(02:16):
for good luck. If you don't know what I'm talking about,
it's the eighties or the nineties. For your nineties, kid,
and you have social media, you have Facebook. What's something
you would have posted back then? And then, you know,
for the sake of fun Fox Sports Radio conversation, Rich,
you did say if social media existed back then, it
would changed the way we viewed the troubles of Michael
Jordan at one point in his life. For sure. You know,
(02:39):
we didn't know celebrities and athletes the way we know
them today. So maybe we wouldn't have been singing like Mike.
I like to be like Mike. We don't know, We
don't know, because there was a mystery still there about
celebrities and athletes that we admired. Now I'll tell you
(02:59):
what I would put, because you got to think social
media today is really a matter of your flex As
the kiddos say, you're bragging rights. And we often say
on the Coveno and Rich Show when it comes to
social media, are you sharing or are you bragging? Ooth
in line, And if it were the eighties, I would
have been bragging about things that I had, like a
(03:20):
mean Hamburger helper, like a mean TV dinner. You would
take a picture of us, yo, check me out. Well,
you would have been bragging about Coavi youno. What have
took a screenshot when he got to a certain level
of Mario I got some Yeah, yeah, yeah, you would
would have been screenshot just got to warp zone sixteen.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But I really think I would have done this for real.
This is for real, for real, because when I say
it now, nobody believes me. So to have proof, I
would have taken a picture of one of my favorite
things to brag about. Back then, I grew up in
New Jersey and Cavaici's were a big deal. I was
the only half breed Mexican Italian kid rocking Cavalricci's and
(03:59):
Iowa you sweatshirts from Chess King and Merry Go Around.
If you remember those stores, dude, I promise you I
had thirty five pairs of cavalrici my friends. My friends
would come over and they would be like, oh, no way,
let's see the collection, and I'd be like, but I'm
not thirty five perfectly folded pairs of Cavarici pants their pants.
(04:21):
If you don't know, can I tell you? I'm yeah ridiculous,
heard this before, but thirty five. I don't believe you.
And I had a sweatshirt to go every pair. Thirty
five spoil as hell. I don't believe it because Caverriccie
is like one hundred dollars, which means your parents spend
thousands of dollars on your stupid pants. Snh vending was
rolling back then, bro dad was doing good. Your caption
would have been which one should I wear today? Yes,
(04:45):
with the sunglass emoji, like what's up? Yeah, I remember
the z Cavalricci pant rage of like maybe early nineties
had a hard time decided, Like kids even that had
money had like two or three pairs thirty five. That
sounds like, like, honestly, you know why because I was
the greatest kid. I was spoiled because I was a
good kid.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I think you guys were part of this too. I
don't know if listeners know this. We were all in
a bike gang when we were kids, eighties nineties kids.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
BMX is Mongoose Diamondback. We were a couple of the
other brands ohjtt sweet pegs. You know, we would have
at least posted about where we were meeting up with
friends for our BMX jumps. We would have took pictures
of the jumps we made.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Dude, that's a great one. You know why, because when
I talked to my teenage daughter, she'll ask me things like, well,
how did you guys know where to meet up? It's like,
I don't know, we had like intuition or conversations or something.
I don't know. I recently asked was asked this question
by my niece that would be a sweet tweet, right,
meeting at the street light in two hours. And because
she asked me, well, when you were in college, how'd
(05:51):
you meet up with your friends at the bar or
somewhere on the game. And I said, you know what,
then back then in college, and I'm not that old.
I went to college in the early two thousands, not
everyone had a cell phone. In fact, it was the
time where like occasionally every so of another friend got
a cell phone, like, oh you got a cell phone. Now,
early two thousands, you were still rocking dry erase boards
(06:14):
on the dorm room doors. You'd be like, hey, we're
going to we're going to Chuck's. We're going to Chuck's
Bar at nine o'clock. And then it was like if
you were there, you were there. That's the fun of
like bumping into people like you made it, you're here.
You know what else you would have posted too on
social media if it existed in the eighties nineties, If
you were fortunate enough to go to a baseball card
(06:35):
show or some sort of convention, comic book or something
and you got to meet a celebrity back then, like
no way, Claudelle Washington's here signing autographs, you would definitely
have posted that picture of you and Tim tuffl Rich
take a picture with Vince Evans. Heah, yeah, me and
Butch Wining geru bro. Don't be jealous, sink of hashtag.
(06:57):
You wish you were me right now. Think of all
the eight nineties hot women that made zero dollars for
being hot, and they're probably very jealous of the influencers
of today. Like there's a good looking women today that
do nothing more than like have a little ten second
jingle of a TikTok song, turn to the side, pop
their butt and like wink at the camera, and it's
(07:18):
like twelve thousand, I'm sorry, twelve million views. They're probably
women in the eighties or nineties, Like man, I wish
I could have just put it out there like that
and made money. They had to find modeling contracts and
you know, go the hard route. Think about it. It's
the eighties nineties, Like we said in our fantasy throwback
old school in fifty hits. What would you have been
posting back then? It could be sports related, doesn't have
(07:38):
to be. You gotta think about the way we lived, right,
Like if you were going places, because again, people use
it to brag about where they are and what they're doing, right,
so you probably would have posted a mean picture of
here I am at sesame place, because where else were
your parents taken? Oh ba, I'm saying where else where
you go? And it's not that you came from a
(08:00):
lot of us didn't come from money. So what you're
saying here I am at the pocon House, I'm thinking
of sports cultural events that would have had social media
talking and fighting, and I feel like one of those
big ones. I hate to take the conversation all serious
on you. You're gonna go challenger on us. No, I was
saying sports not spaceships. When Magic Johnson HIV positive, that
(08:26):
would have been the most divisive should he play, shouldn't
he play? Because people at that time were still unaware,
like could you catch it? What if he touches you? Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They the meme game would have been pretty fun without
Remember Karl Malone didn't want to play against him. Yeah, yeah,
there would been a lot of memes and guys like
Karl Malone would probably be in prison. See that's what
we think about. Honestly, when you think about how it
was such a different world back then, Kadem Hardison style,
it's different. You know. The athletes didn't have to deal
(08:57):
with that twenty four to seven the way they have
to deal Dan Byer think of the eighty six Mets.
And I only bring that up because it's not just
my team. There's been books the bad guys won. They
were historically known as just honestly partying, having sex with
women and doing cocaine. Lenny Dykstra, Darryl Dwight, Keith Hernandez.
The only clean cut guy on the team was the
(09:18):
late great Gary Carter, who is an outcast in a
way because he was a good guy. Yeah, imagine those
fights I think there was a fight where like Timmy
Tuffel and Ron Darling or Ray Knight were having fist
fights every time they went on the road women in drugs.
That team would have been destroyed. Have you ever read
the book? No, I haven't, but I believe you.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I think the meme game with Magic Johnson, by the way,
would be horrendous. Like I wouldn't want to it would
have been. It would have been the absolute worst. I'll
tell you guys what I even look back to in
terms of what I would post my tech mobile stats,
you know, like if Danny's running for eight hundred yards
with bo Jackson, like you'd.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Be posting those on YouTube of you playing and even
the end screen, you know, or the Christian Okoya like
eighteen touchdowns, you know, six hundred yards. That's what I
would be left exactly what I would be posting. Damn well.
Also TV, I like that.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
I like that because we used to go to arcades
and we have to explain to kids what those are
unless they've been to one of the throwback ones that
is opened up now. But remember at the end, you're
the order the stats would come up on the screen.
You were always trying to.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Put your initials on it.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, you were always trying to get up to the
top of the leader board a number five. Imagine taking
a shot of that and then posting it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
By the way, dude, that is the best memory in
dan Byer. You're soul right, because that was the coolest
thing to have your initials right up there with the
league leaders at the arcade. You all roun third on Cubert, Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
And then when you went back to the arcade, you
you always checked to see if it was still there,
if you were still in the.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Top, parents that their quarters were worth something. Look what
I did so proud of it. You were so proud
of that. You would have definitely been posting that, There's
no question. Then there were idiots like me. You could
never get on the board. But if I did once,
I didn't know how to put my initials in, so
it would just be like d you know, and I
like I couldn't get the other two because I had not,
Like I would have hit the enter and then it
(11:15):
would have just locked it in and frozen. That's so funny, dude,
Or like your Papa shot scores, like hell, yeah, So
what would you have been posting back then? We didn't
have the opportunity to think about your kids, think about
young players today, athletes, and think about what they would
have been doing back then, you know, and who would
have been a nightmare to deal with. There was a
lot of flashy dudes back then that we didn't get
(11:37):
to see how flashy they were, Like like Deon Sanders.
We see it now, but we didn't see young Neon
Dion and his social media ways. We didn't see those things.
We didn't have the opportunity. What do you think we
would have seen it this hypothetical. Are we holding athletes
to the political correct standards of today or oh we
just keep it inconsistent with the times. Because there's guys
(12:02):
like Charles Barkley. There's guys like Dennis Rodman. There's guys that,
like I feel like, have always spoke in their mind,
and you know, back then it was like, yeah, who cares.
Now they might have been under more of a microscope. Hey,
I think Dennis Rodman would have found himself in more
controversial situations, being outspoken, coming at people posting weird things.
You know, we would have been like, man, I mean
it was already a debate. We would have more insights
(12:23):
on all those guys already a debate to begin with.
But I think if social media existed in the early
eighties and mid eighties, the whole Larry Bird versus Magic
Johnson like that, you know, the whole the tired debates
of you know, MJ or Lebron. I feel like it
would have been a lot of magic Larry.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Also think about this with music and Facebook and other
social media platforms, kids coming out of school have been
caught for posting lyrics like athletes. You know, somebody digs
it up, like, oh, they wrote the N word on
there because it was part of lyrics they quoted. We
grew up with NWA. We were in the NWA days.
Can you imagine the lyrics we would have posted.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Oh I'd gotten so much trouble would have haunted us. Yeah,
we had been canceled because Lukes Gywalker. Yeah we posted
some lyrics from NWA. So we're canceled now. Yeah that
we got away with that. Definitely got away with that.
What else would you have posted? Think of this too,
just polarizing figures from back then. Athletes from back then,
(13:24):
we would have seen a completely deeper side of what
they were really about. And it's kind of interesting when
you think about how younger kids are growing up knowing
everything about these dudes.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I could see Steve Cavino standing in the left field
wall or out like forty feet past it and being like,
here's where my twenty fourth home run land is.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, but you know, shooting back to home plate like wow,
that is far. And I posted all my trophies on
my Instagram story. You know what you would You would
definitely have taken your news clippings, right, because that's all
you had. We had the Internet, but you had your
news clippings of articles that you may have been involved
in or hey, Dan Meyer pitched a two hit shut
(14:05):
out for the Little League Warriors. I don't know. And
you know, you would definitely have posted your clippings because
you didn't have that. You didn't have that. I didn't
have that. I'm just thinking. I was just thinking of
a would you have used it? Like back then? What
made you popular or what got you? You know and
(14:27):
in with maybe a girl you liked was all stuff
you did in person, like you never had to worry
about having a strong social media game. No, and rich
you probably would have tried to throw your game at
you know, some of the female athletes of the day
probably just to like get on their radar. Rich was
like Rich was big, big, Tanya Harding fan Rich probably
(14:47):
would have been diving into ms.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That's a great thought, Rich, Because those of us who
had strict parents, like my mom was strict, the girls
couldn't really call the house, you know what I mean.
There was no way for us to take those old
school phones with the long cards and hide like in
the garage or a room and talk to a girl
without being bothered by somebody in the family. So we
would have communicated with the opposite sex a lot better
back then, had we had social media.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And really that's a great thought, but not just the
opposite sex. Seriously, like professional athletes like in order to
like if you collected baseball cards or if you wanted
an autograph, they would put out those address booklets like
those what Ady Beckett books of the addresses and of
course the value of the cards, but you would get
(15:31):
books with the addresses, and you would take your chance
to write to somebody and get it back. You be
so thrilled. Imagine if you had the opportunity to just
hit up Don Mattingly on social media when you were
a kid and just ask for an autograph or something like.
They have that opportunity. We didn't have that. The accessibility
of out of communicating what your heroes back then was
(15:51):
like unheard of. Yeah, the accessibility of celebrity and athlete,
I think sort of watered down celebrity and athlete, right
maybe yeah, Like no, you're right, or we're looking at
it different.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
We learned to write like an English teacher would always
do the same exercise back in the eighties or nineties.
The whole class would write to one of their heroes
and we'd always see who got a letter back.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I was one for one I did it with because
I didn't. I was like, if I write to Dave Winfield,
I'm gonna be one of you know, a one hundred
million kids. So Cavino decided, I decided, I'm writing to
Bobby Meacham, Number twenty short stop for the New York Yankees.
No one cares about Bobby Meacham except for me. And
I sent them like a stack of cars that I
had had, all the Bobby Meacham's, the Fleer to Don Russ,
(16:33):
the tops, you name it, leaf. I thought you reach
out to Richard Simmons. No, you did so reach out
to Bobby Meacham sent me back a letter, handwritten letter,
Yankee like pens and pins, nice and all autographed cards.
You know, so I was like, man, you would have
thought I would have tried again. I was one for one.
I stopped at the perfect record. But if you had
(16:54):
that accessibility in the eighties nineties, you would have been
trying to be friends with with your random sports here,
I think we're we're hitting a bunch of different angles here.
Simplify with this simple question, would you have wanted it?
Or are you happy with the way we were raised
in the eighties nineties. Maybe you were raised before that.
If you're a kid, if you're roughly forty, you grew
(17:16):
up without social media and smartphones. Do you look back
and say, I cherished the mom I'll be back for dinner.
I cherished the You know you have a click call
from mom at the ball pick me up? Like do
you cherish the I rode my bikes around town and
no one knows where I was. The simplicity of like
any independence, Hey Danny, when do we having dinner? I
(17:37):
don't know when your father gets home and you'd be
playing wiffle ball in the street you saw your dad's
car coming down the box. That's just thinking. The way
we grew up was the best. I'm saying. You saw
your dad's car driving down the box and you're like,
all right, let's wrap up wiffle ball because as soon
as dad goes in the house, Mom's gonna say ritchie dinner.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Well, we know all of our dads and granddads had
more fun back then because nobody could track then.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
You didn't touch on if we had access to social
media eighties nineties, you would have had all those memories
playing with football. You might not have been outdoors riding
your bike as much as you would. Yeah, they might
not be as many of those moments.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I think in general, you just I remember things a
lot better because now we rely on endless pictures we
can take on our cell phone. We have posts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's true. I don't remember the phone. It's a phone
number theory. Sam. It's like if I asked you to
tell me your grandma's phone number, you know it like that.
But if two best friends too, if I asked you
anyone today's phone number, you like, I don't know because
I have something I can soult a piece of technology
and rely on that which I have memories that are
much more vivid from up until, like I don't know,
endto high school. Well, I was saying, that's that's uh.
(18:43):
Kavino and I always have the theory of while your
kids generation are kids. Have you got little kids now?
You might say, oh, how cool for them. They're gonna
have every memory possible videos at every event of their life,
but they might not really care that much because it's accessible.
We sort of want what we can have, right, Like,
Danny G. Why would a video of you playing football
(19:04):
with your neighbor when you're seven mean a lot to
you because you don't even think it exists? Yeah, little CoA.
How old your son two? Yeah? Not even very Oh
he looks too, he's nine months. Why do I kill
It's time's not flying for that kid, dude, So nine
months old. He's got a mustache already. Yeah, nine months.
The kid's forty pounds took him to get his first
(19:26):
Raiders tattoo last week. Nine months old. Danny G. You probably,
I guarantee you and Brenda, your wife, probably have twenty
thousand photos of him on your phone's combined easy. My
parents might have thirty photos from eighty five to nineteen ninety.
You would have a lot of pictures of you and
your friends on bikes, and we don't. I have maybe one.
I don't have any one cracked polaroids somewhere in a
(19:47):
box you know. Com You don't ask me recently because
we were celebrating an anniversary of our show and we
were saying, like, yo, early on, we have some pictures
of our show. Would you believe I don't have one
picture of me at my college radio station. I don't
have one picture of my college dorm room. Dude.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
That's a great point. Somebody asked me on I think
National Radio Day. Somebody said in the group, uh, post
a picture of you at your first radio station.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm like, I don't even have a picture of that. Yeah,
because we weren't. It's not what we were concerned about either. No,
I have a pervy question because you don't have cameras
and you don't have cell phones and stuff like that
back then on hand, do you wish you had a
picture of every girl you dated, or went on a
day with, or hooked up with, because the reality is
(20:32):
you probably some of them were just a blurry memory
in your mind like you mean you mean like a
smutty picture. I'm just saying even a regular picture, like
you know, I mean I kind of do. You don't
have pictures of all the girls you date? Oh you
mean like hooked up? Like like if you were to
like you nowadays, if you were to go to a
college bar all night, you'd be a click click click
people taking a million photos. Yeah, might have been some
(20:53):
cute I remember that cute bong girl you made out with,
and you know, and and by the way, you could
tie that right back into sports. I was at nineteen
ninety six World Series when the Yankees won. I have
one picture, no one picture. I don't got no one
picture of me at the parade, not nothing, nothing, got
nothing from that except hear what's in my brain? I was.
That's a whole lot. You chose, you the difference. I
(21:13):
was at the twenty fifteen World Series and the Mets
are in it, miserable because the Mets stink. But I
have like a whole, like you know, probably hundreds of
photos of that experience. So it just shows you times
have changed. And this is all based on a meme.
We saw, and we do this every Thursday. We throw
it back old school in fifty hits and the meme reads,
let's pretend it's the eighties or nineties whenever you grew
(21:35):
up and you have social media, you have Facebook, what's
something you would have posted back then? And then you
got to think about, well, what's social media used for?
Mostly now tonight it will be used for fighting politics.
Tonight's gonna be all about politics because of Trump's conviction
ANDBA and NBA and NHL playoffs. It's really a big
(21:56):
look at me, and how would you have said, hey,
look at me? Hey? And if you want at if
you want a little fun conversation at dinner tonight when
you get home from work, Hey, ask your husband or wife,
ask ask your family. What would you have wanted to
post back in your childhood if you had social media?
And what would you have wanted to look back on?
But you got d Your parents were young, so your
mom would have been posting pictures of her meat loaf. Well,
(22:17):
think about it? Is that any endo for something? No?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Well, yeah, quickly on the phone, heres Reno Trevor and Reno, Yo.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Trevor, what's up man?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Hey, how are you guys.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
The first thing that I thought of when you guys
are talking about it was I would definitely be posting
like my Halloween candy hall and my Christmas presents and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Oh yeah for sure. Yeah, Yo, check out with seeing
it brought me? Bro What else we got? Daddy? Uh?
Brian and Augusta? Yo, Bry what's up?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
What you got?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
What would you look back on social media wise if
we had it.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
If we had it, I probably would post Because I
talked to a friend of mine about this the other day.
Our parents would have died if they knew how far
from home we actually went.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
CA. You know, and I have talked about that feeling
of you know, when you're riding your bike and you
even know yourself, you're like I've gone too far, you
know feeling anyway, You're like you're one town too far.
You're like where am I? I know I'm too far
and there's no GPS, no int Wait, Brian, would you
have posted where you were at? Or no?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Now, I probably would have posted where I was at
because my mom probably wouldn't have had social media anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh you know what a lot of our moms would
have been posting booty shots. There's a lot of moms
now the shots, right, what if your mom was what
if your mom was posting like bikini pictures.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Well, a lot of our parents snooped in our rooms.
They probably would have snooped on our social media too.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, we would have had a lot of pictures of
our rooms, which we don't have because we would have
been whatever we were doing, we'd be taking pictures of it,
whether we were in our room messing around, horsing around,
or if you were outside. You know how you see
people kids today, they got a little phone set up
and they're they're just filming themselves taking swings or whatever.
You would have none of that. That would have been
(23:59):
valuable a fun way, Like Danny, imagine me, you and
Covino we're playing out of the NBA jam and I
would have been on my Instagram story like, hey, what's up?
But you playing in your jam? Like like that would
have been you know, that's right.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
We would have took pictures of our record and CD collections,
our posters, sports posters.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Oh that's a good one, my tvd cliss, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I would have took pictures of my first speakers and turntables,
all the DJ equipment.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, uh, you know what's a good thought. You know what, though,
I do have something based on that on VHS somewhere, somewhere,
who knows where, but somewhere I do have the first
time I got to Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's punch Out,
and it was when he lost to Buster Douglas. So
nineteen ninety. I have that VHS somewhere and I go,
but Dad, come here, good luck find me at the
(24:44):
camera of fighting Mike Tyson. Hey, so, what would you
have posted if it existed back then? How would have
it changed? Sports? Let us know at Covino and Rich
and at Fox Sports Radio. All right now the first centuries,
the bond between horse and human has been forged by
trust and hands on care. Back in the day, they
(25:04):
couldn't tweet about it, Nope. Now the sport of thoroughbred
racing is combining those traditions with cutting edge tech and
meaningful reforms, raising its safety standards to the highest levels.
New investment in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes
and a horse has stride, and the use of advanced
imaging technologies help fleag potential problems in the early intervention
by expert veterinarians, reducing injury risk. Scientific experts test, measure,
(25:27):
and analyze racing surfaces to ensure consistency, and the sport's
new and dependent regulator, the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority,
is implementing comprehensive reforms, including state of the art testing, monitoring,
and strict enforcement, along with new uniform safety standards andenhancevedinary

We didn't do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man.
Shout out to Billy Joel. I don't even want to
add to the nightmare that is social media later tonight.
Oh my goodness, right now, you know who another quote
innocent man is? Jorge Lopez dan Byer, What a producing
(27:11):
news anchor printed out the statement First and foremost, this
is the Met who threw his glove into the crowd
and then said he was the worst team in baseball.
That we spent the first dowur discussing. First and foremost,
I apologize to my teammates, coaches, fans in front office.
I feel like I let them down today, both on
and off the field. I also want to clarify my
(27:32):
post game remarks because I had no intention of disparaging
the New York Mets organization. During that interview. I spoke
candidly about my frustrations with my personal performance and how
I felt it made me the worst teammate in the
entire league. Unfortunately, my efforts to address the media in
English created some confusion and generated headlines that do not
reflect what I was trying to express. I wish the
(27:55):
team the best and hope that God continues to give
me the strength to know move on with his personal
professional life. You know, I hope that sums it up.
Is that a great spin or is that the truth?
Do I think that's what happened. You remember when Joe
Rogan had the epiphany to not interview fighters after they
(28:17):
lost and after they got knocked out because they're not
in the right state of mind. So he doesn't do
that anymore. Yeah, I think this is a lesson learned here.
It's like, when you're speaking to somebody with a language barrier,
you can't just assume and run with the story that
he disparaged the team, because guess what, now he has
no job, And for an entire twenty four hour cycle,
everybody in sports built a reputation for this guy that
(28:39):
he didn't even really deserve. He was taking accountability of
his own crappy actions, and we ran with the bleeding story.
That's not fair at all, and I think that people
should have learned a major lesson from this.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
It's a very good point, Cavino, because it is also
why some athletes strictly use an interpreter. Yeah, some people
feel that it's the opposite that they are hiding or
want to say it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
But it's for that reason.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
There's also a reporter aspect to this, where because the
media guidelines and this may have popped up in COVID,
but sometimes always seems to be a deal of a
cool off period from the game, and reporters in media
are like, we don't want to wait an hour afterwards,
Like we want the real emotion, because that's what you
get when you're in media. But there there's there are
(29:26):
two sides to everything, and this this story has multiple
facets just in regard to how you deal with media
and how you use possibly an interpreter.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, I was thinking about this. Mike blamed the Mets
here where was the guy, you know, where was the
organization backing up their player? Well, I mean he chose
not to have an interpreter, which is odd because there's
never been a time in baseball history. Mean into something
you're not one hundred percent confident about it. Even though
they tried to get the the words out of his mouth,
(29:56):
that's not He was having a hard time in that situation.
I don't know, there's never been a time in baseball
history where it interpreter has gone wrong. I know, no one, no, no, no, no,
no one. Yeah, show Hey, I got it. But I'm
just saying like it's a I think it's a lesson
learned here Alison Chaine style again, we're live from the
tire rack dot com Studios. That's the Jorge Lopez Update
(30:18):
where Cavino and Rich at Covino and Rich and based
on our previous old school in fifty hits, thought about
how would social media have changed our lives growing up
in the world of sports in the eighties nineties. Dan
Byer announced that the Chicago Bears are going to be
featured on Hard Knocks August sixth. Who do you think
(30:40):
would have been the coolest team to get an inside
scoop on back then? I'd say your Mets. Honestly, like
your eighty six Mets, that would have been wild. I
told you that we're just all doing cocaine and right,
maybe again like the eighty five Bears, Like the eighty
five Bears with the refrigerator, Perry and Jim mccander's right,
that's what makes hard knocks all. You get to know
(31:01):
the players and you see the cast of characters, and
you're more familiarized with them and you're invested in them. Imagine,
imagine more in imagine more real insight on like the
Showtime Lakers of the eighties. Right.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Also, how about the glory days of the Hollywood Raiders
when they were in LA with Howie Long and Lyle Alzado.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And dude, that would have been so cool to see
how these dudes, you know, not to be interacted in
the locker room and what it was all about back then,
that would have been really cool. Not to be a
homer for my team. But the straight up quarterback controversy
of Steve Young and Joe Montana genuinely dude, not really
thinking the other person deserved it. Farv and Rogers, that controversy,
you know, see just that interaction I'm saying, you know,
(31:40):
did he really embrace Saron Rodgers back then? What was
it like to be part of that scene, part of
that locker room? We didn't have that. We didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Also, we didn't mention we didn't have Facebook when the
whole OJ thing was going on. Man, can you imagine,
Oh James would have Yeah, oh, Rodney King, from Rodney
King to OJ. Everyone would have been giving their thought
on that.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And then think about it about the Bears hard Knocks
announcement to it. That's pretty cool. The crude memes, the
ones that are just terribly tasteless, you would have seen
those for the Challenger. You'd have seen those for all
types of tragic Clinton. Bill Clinton almost exists now we
find him now then they're you know, twenty five years old.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Seriously, that black and blue dress meme when I had
a whole different meaning, Oh yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Think of how many people would have remixed Bill Clinton
saying I did not have sexual relations until I get
a club song or something great. Yeah, we missed that
on a lot. I did not have sexual sexual sexual
But then again, would you have changed anything? Probably not. Yeah.
I think we grew up just fine. Yep. I mean,
you know, I feel like we are prisoners of our
own childhood. But I would argue that growing up in
(32:49):
the eighties and nineties was pretty sweet. I almost enjoy
getting social media as a young man instead of as
a kid. You got to we were the last generation
to truly enjoy worry free childhood activity, maintain our innocence,
you know, not for sure? Yeah, I think that made
all the difference. Bliss when you got a preteen teenage
daughter and young girls are like, don't post that, Oh,
(33:11):
don't take my picture, don't pull Like imagine if you
told your parents, like, don't post that, or mom, I'm
not make up ready for a picture. Our kids are
that's bad they were. My parents would have definitely posted
a picture of me like on the toilet, and I
would have been so embarrassed. Why would you do that?
(33:32):
Why would you do that? The kids are making fun
of me. There's a classic picture that we could never post, obviously,
but this picture of Kavino's sitting on his mom's lap,
and Cavino's like naked, and he's got to be at
least like nine. I think I'm like fifteen years old.
It's just you know, my mom, he's my baby. I
think my mom gave me a bad looking baby. Yeah,
I had a mustache for Shiv said to me once
(33:53):
he goes, don't you remember getting a bath? In the sink.
I was like, well, when you're a little kid. Yes,
I'm pretty sure he remembers because his mom bab him
until until he was like five. Was a mama's boy.
What are you gonna do. Let's go to an update.
We got dB dan byendan.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yeah, guys, in case anybody was just tuning in at
this point. Mets reliever Jorge Lopez was de fade earlier
today released the statement apologizing for his actions on and
off the field during the last night's game against the Dodgers.
Lopez said he had no intention of disparaging the Mets
organization and intended to say that he felt like the
worst teammates in the league.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Hey, by the way, I don't know if the Hispanic
culture has like a like an Al Sharpton type or
like a Jesse Jackson type. You're you know, why don't
you be the guy if there was one, or if
there is one, he should be coming out and be like, Yo,
this is unjust, this isn't right. What happened to his
dude is wrong. The guy could be put him on
the spot. They ran and now he doesn't have a job.
(34:49):
Who's the guy on Fox News or the mustache. Who's
not John Stossel. No, No, the coldo Roldo Rivera. He
could be the guy should He needs to come out
and be like, yo, I'm calling a meeting for all
Latino players. This is wrong. He's kind of an ambassador
for a lot of people. I'll be the first to
say it right here on Fox Sports. It's wrong. I
like Herodo Vivera. But but now I leave it to you. Herldo,
(35:11):
oh man.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
I never have heard somebody stumped on Heraldo's name before.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
That's what it was like. It was just evading me.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
That's all right, that happens good in day baseball. Astro's
just blank the Mariners for nothing. Brewers were six to
four winners against the Cubs. Twins got by the Royals
seven to six, while in twelve it was the Raise
six A's five. The NFL selected the Bears to appear
on hard Knocks during training camp in early August on HBO.
At least early August is when it's going to start
(35:38):
Tuesday night, August sixth. More NFL News Drew Brees will
be inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame during the
twenty twenty four season, saying today.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
That is.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Saying today that if his arm didn't give out, he
could have played three more seasons.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
His body feels fine. It was good to go tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Game five Mavericks Timberwolves, eight thirty Eastern Time, Derek Lively
still a question mark for Dallas.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
You guys. Sorry to interrupt, Dan Vir, but it's timber Wolves.
Let's get it right. I think Manzi's leaning into it now,
right I listen, she's saying now she's just going timber Wolves.
One other update, Donald Trump lost thirty four nothing right. Blowout,
by the way, not politically, it's not funny. It's that
(36:22):
it's an actual sports score.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
That's why, Like, I think it's funny, and that it
turns out that way.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Thirty four nothing. It sounds like when Brady the Patch
played like a bottom feeder in the two thousands, I tweeted.
I asked if it was Scoragami. Thank you, thank you
the man appreciating all. Listen. Job searching can be a

(37:35):
of a broken Man. That man being Steve Cavino Senior,
because my mom broke him down throughout the years, and
I'm sure right about now he's in his tidy white

(39:06):
it's time for this week's pro theweek drums please the
Express pros Pro Theeek Award goes to because I feel
like it's going under the radar, he Lopez. No, dude,
that's a shame. What's happening to him? You're making a mock.
Make him the Proeka, make him the pro the week.
He can't, but he is setting a good example of
(39:27):
what not to do in the future. Okay, the Express
Pro Pro Theeek Award goes to Anthony Volpi of the
New York Yankees. You're probably saying, why I'll get you
got to pick it because I got the picture and
I'm a Yankees fan. And guess what. He's got a
twenty one game hit streak going on really ties him
with Joe DiMaggio for the second longest hitting streak in Yankees'
(39:49):
franchise history by a player who's twenty three years older younger.
He's going for twenty two street games tonight against the
Anaheim Angels of California or whatever we call them now,
and dude is just yeah, and it's just exciting to
see a dude that had so much promise. He got
a Gold Glove last year, but as you know, he
(40:09):
struggled at the plate and the dude is just playing
the way everybody expected him to play as one of
those untouchable Yankee stars and stars. Props to him. Let's
see how far it goes. But when you're doing things
as a young player that guys like Derek Jeter didn't do,
that says something. Twenty two games. If he gets a
(40:30):
hit tonight, something to look forward to aside from your
NBA playoffs, you know. Graps again to Anthony Volpi for
being our express Pro Pro the week. While to think
how insane that Demaggio status. Yeah, I mean, he'd have
to he'd almost have to triple what he's doing now,
(40:50):
which is just seems un unlikely anyone will ever ever
do that fifty six game. Real shame is Dom Dimagio.
You know why, because it's brother. There was Joe, and
Dom was a beast, and he lost three years of
his prime serving the military or else. That dude could
have been a Hall of Fame player. And everyone talks
about ugly as Joe all the time. Yankee clipper Dom DiMaggio,
(41:12):
Dom DiMaggio's brother, But Joe had fifty six games in
nineteen forty one, as you guys know. Second place is
Pete Rose right, forty four games. I believe Pete Rose. No,
in fact, all the numbers have changed, right, but it
was I guess hal Chase in nineteen oh seven. I
guess that's the Yankee record. Volpi clearly has ways to go,
(41:35):
and if he hits twenty five, the only Yankee batter
to achieve hitting that streak is Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter.
So he's getting closer and closer now, and he up
his average to two eighty five. Longest hitting streaks in
Major League Baseball history. DiMaggio number ones at fifty six,
number two, I don't think I count it if it's
(41:55):
the eighteen hundreds he counted, of course, eighteen ninety six
Willie Keeler of the Orioles. But in modern history, Pete
Rose in nineteen seventy eight had forty four games. Oh,
you were right. Mallitter had thirty nine and eighty seven.
I'm just looking at like modern history thirty eight game
hitting Street for Jimmy Rollins and five o six. As
(42:17):
far as modern history, a lot of these like eighteen hundred,
is Chase Outley have thirty five? He could hit, hit
a little squibbler and run it. Down and keep that
streak going. He's a fast player anyway. Thoroughbred Racing has
