That is this Showtime, Go time? NBA Finals Thursday, Let's
(00:26):
go on, ve go back Thursday? Can we go old
school Arsenio style? I used to love you some Arsenio
Danny g super producing Moncey for fet Spotty. I am
convinced that anyone younger you know how you'll never quite
be able to explain to a young kid. I'll give
you a few examples, how dominant bo Jackson was good one,
(00:50):
how OJ Dicky, How OJ was like Shack. So when
people are like when OJ did what he did, yeah,
it would be like if Shack.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Did that today.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And I think people will never quite realize the power
of our Senio Hall in his prime. I think he
hit his style off of Carsenio, though Carsenio was the original.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I used to love Carcidio.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah. So anyway, thank you guys for hanging out with us.
I agree, I was a big Arsenio Hall fan. But
way to throw it back on a Thursday, Rich, I
love Reminiscent with you man said it was a moment
in time. I feel like you probably even loved it
more than I did, kidding me. Our president at the
time was on the show playing the saxophone. Bill Clinton
was playing the sacks. That inspired you to play the sacks,
didn't it rid?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And it also inspired you to get what interns I
remember that's Rich Davis. Everybody, Hey, oh true, but not
but yesb Cafino, it's the show on Fox Sports Radio.
And if you like Reminiscent throwing it back on a Thursday,
well good because when fifty hits in life, when fifty
hits on the clock, we go old school when fifty hits.
(01:52):
And today we're talking game shows because it's a sad
and special coming of an end to a very popular
game show. Not that game show, but the host. Yeah,
I'm a wheel watcher, a wheel watcher, people know. I
know this is Pat se Jax last week. So we'll
(02:12):
talk a little old school video whe I'm sorry, game
shows fortune, So we'll talk some game show fails, and
we'll reminisce a little bit. But there's basketball to talk about,
there's life to talk about. This is a little of everything.
But you know, if you ask me, Rich, what do
you spend and waste money on the most when it
comes to fast food or just you know, takeout, It's
(02:36):
got to be Starbucks and Chipotle. I'd say that's the
top answer for a lot of people. However, I'm hearing
rumors about chip pult Day. First of all, people over
who's Chapolte? Sebastian Man of Scalco started it? You her
Portinoy saying on barstool, is anyone over forty says chippult Day?
(02:57):
Under Chipotle? It's Chipotle. Hey, okay, but before we hear
about your love of Chipotle and Starbucks, Basic Rich, We're
broadcasting live from the ti iraq dot com studios. Tyre

g does a best of and the best of the week.
It's all there. Send it to your friends and get this.
Two more things because it's Thursday and we don't have
(03:41):
time to fit in all our great ideas. A brand
new episode of over Promised debuts at four pm right
after this show seven pm Eastern over Promised on Fox
Sports Radios YouTube page. We're also going to be on
We've already been one The Fusco Show if you want
to check it out.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So yeah, I don't think people get it. That was
we story.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That was crazy. Look it up later on your own
time The Fusco Show. But back to the Chipote, don't
say that Chipote. The rumor is they're raising prices even
more and well it's a little inflation and shri inflation
because they're cutting down the size of your burrito again.
Wells you see the social media trick, Monci. People are
(04:22):
going in to Chipotle and they're filming the person making
their meal to make sure they get proper portions.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I would be so annoyed I saw someone with like
a Chipotle.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, you're Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Saw someone with like a light kit, like a full
They brought in like a light kit to like film
This thing jumped the counter at.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
That you shouldn't bring ring lights into Chipotle. There is
an update on this. The ce CEO of the company
spoke up at the end of last week and he
said this is not going to work. All the employees
have been told to go business as usual, even if
there's a camera on them.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, trick.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
There's a trick though, to make sure to ensure you
get the proper portion you want to explain, since you're
the Chipotle.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Expert, I was just saying, give me a little more Nerd. No, No,
that's just run you kick.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That's it. That's what you're gonna give me. And then
the sixty year old pimple faced idiot says, oh, yeah,
whatever you say, nerd. Yeah, you call the nerd nerd.
What is your name, Johnny Chipotle?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Come on, Mark.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, the trick is you tell them that you only
want one portion, so to give you one giant heap
of meat, and then after that, you know what, make
that too. Now they're forced to match that size, get it,
because if you say I want two scoops. You want
to ext me, they give you two little ones. But
who gets double meat a Chipotle that's got like a
thirty dollars barrita. I'm just saying the old tricks still works,
(05:45):
and it works.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
With ice cream.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, if you got a one scoop, if you then say, oh,
make it two scoop, they have to match that one
heaping scoop. Right, So that's the trick. That's how you get.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I've also been told by Shay here to not order
like on line, that they'll make it less.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know what I hate about listen, this is what
you get from Cavenio. Right, we talked about Chuck Paulte.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
When you go to Chapoulta.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The thing that bothers me is that when they take
the big scoop of guacamole, how many times do they
bang that big spoon to knock off the guac? Like
just scoop put it on my burrito.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
The whole guy over here you get you're rich enough
to get guaca on your burritos.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You don't get your what is wrong with you? Chapole's
guak is delicious? Do you think there's more in this?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
If you get it on the side. Do you think
more comes in the container or do you think they
scoop you more.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, the container's like eight dollars, but it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Right, I've done that with the Qso.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, because you could just say like, oh, I'll take
the guac, can you put on the side, and then
they'll put it in that container.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, wor all suckers for overpriced burritos. That's what we're
learning here.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Because i'body to go get this.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
After all. I go from my wife and I and
she gets a ball, I get a burrito, one side
of chips in guac, and it's like thirty five bucks.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So yeah, there's no bargaining.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
We just need a Mose out here. We need Mos.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I live down in the South when they had mos
which is kind of like Chipotle or free Birds, and
it's like, I would really like Mo's right now.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It doesn't taste and Monty, you can get a free burrito.
Rich has that in front of him right now.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You know how every so often they do promotional food giveaways,
like I remember back in the day. This is a
name drop, but during the Major League Baseball All Star Break,
probably a decade.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Ago or so, decade ago. It was longer than that.
We were in New.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
York, so we're talking this had to be at least
ten years at least. And the late great Lou Brock
was on our show and he was on to simply
promote steal a bass, Steal a taco. Yeah, he was
the og guy to talk about it back then, and
it was if someone stole the bass in the All
Star Game, everyone could get a free taco Bell Taco.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He was the spokes And what was funny about.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It was that he was such a sincere Hall of
Famer lou Brock rest in peace. But what I remember
most was he'd be having a real conversation with us,
and every so often his PR person would make eye
contact with him and he'd be like, and then Bob
Gibson and I, by the way, steal a base, steal
a taco. He made sure to get the plug in
and it was just it's very awkward but funny, but
(08:08):
steel Bay steel a taco. If you remember, like a
month ago, Bob, remember he missed free throw so that
people could get free chicken.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
There might potentially be some freak chicken on the board
if he misses a second free throw.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Man free chicken on the board.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So that's why the fans are getting a little real frothy.
Oh the pointing team thing.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Hold on the crowd, say you want chicken.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Here's your chop Gorilla Monsoonim that's Jim Ross. Oh my gosh,
he has broken that chicken in half. Now, Chipotle, who
is you know? Like we said, overpriced but delicious? Tonight
(08:56):
the NBA Finals, In all NBA finals long, they're giving
away free burritos.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Here's how it works.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
How what do I have to do?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Tell me?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Because again this is not a dollar taco. I think,
guess Lisos. So the chain explained it this way. It's
it's convoluted and tricky, so we'll look it up for yourself.
But if a player's fouled on a two point play
or three point play, if they make all their free throws,
whether it be two or three or technical plus the two,
(09:25):
whatever it is, if they make all the free throws
in that exact moment, you have to text Chipotle and
the first five hundred people will get a text back
for a free burrito. Okay, So did they make it
so specific for these reasons to get you involved?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
To get people involved?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We've got to be watching like the second quarter when
Luca gets fouled with eight minutes left, and then be
on your phone, be like, hey kid, shut up, hold
on eight eight.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Five you have Okay, they turned it into a real
time contest, right, I.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Got it, but I like it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And there's gonna be a code apparently on the bottom
of the screen every different foul and you have to
text eight eight a too too too look at you know,
in today's world, let's make it clear where everybody's complaining
about the prices of fast food and chipotles and things
like that, this is a cool way to maybe save
a buck and enjoy the game and play along.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So we're not hating on it, just explaining it's to.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Be on X.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
It seems like this is driven by X by Twitter.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Okay, yeah in Manti what I what?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I Why I even bring it up because you might
be thinking, who cares?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I just feel like a lot of times is a
giveaway and it's bunk.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's like a small fry McDonald's or a taco and
Carl's Junior. This is you know, a brit which Chipotle
is like a fifteen dollars nice lunch at dinner. So
Carls Junior got tacos, now, don't they?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Or Jacket a.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Box got those dollars tacos? Yeah, Jack in the box,
those crap dollar tacos. Okay, so these are great. Give
me another way to win something free tonight. It's just
free throws. Oh, that's it. That's the only one.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Like Steel Bay still talkos. Okay, there was more ways
to win.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now, each time a player makes all their free throws,
Chipotle will draw five hundred free entree codes on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And they set a cap five hundred no cap now
that yeah, they set a cap per free throw thing.
But they're saying the most throughout the NBA Finals. They're
prepared to give away seventeen thousand, five hundred burritos. Wow game.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Okay, so it's not even just a one night thing.
This is going on with Wow. This is rich for
the that would last rich until next Tuesday. What's it
the math? Let's let's be math guys and nut for
a second.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What's brito nowadays? Twenty five bucks?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Seventeen thousand, five hundred times seventeen hold on seventeen to
five times seven games is one hundred and twenty two thousand,
five hundred times.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Let's just say twelve dollars for a burrito. They're willing.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
This is a one point five million dollar ad campaign. Wow,
when you think about it the NBA Finals, that's pretty good.
Honestly that it makes sense if you're going to be
visible and we're talking about I'm sure other people are
joking about it, but hey, get your free burrito tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
If there's any and.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Who doesn't like free Believe it or not, there's a
lot of people listening like, yeah, who does that stuff?
A lot of people, A lot of people remember growing
up throw Back Thursday. How many people did you know
collecting the points from Marlborough? Remember they would collect the
points and how many people? How about the McDonald's puzzle piece?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So how about when grocery stores do like the games
with different pieces or whatever with your receipt.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh it wasn't It was McDonald's monopoly.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Monopoly.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah. Do you remember that that documentary we watched where
the kid took it literally where they have the jet
where Pepsi was giving away a jetliner. Yeah, there's so
many people love that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You know, my brother does.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
This is a tip for the cheapos like my brother, who,
as my dad says, when he opens his wallet, cobwebs
and moths come out. If you're a cheap skate like
my brother Jim. Hey Jim, if you're listening, he is
the cheapest. My brother is the type of guy that
goes on every app and signs up for things. So
every year on his birthday he gets off when I
(13:01):
when I hit up my brother, like, yo, happy birthday, buddy,
where are he was like, oh, but basket Robbins getting
my free scoop. Then I'm going to McDonald's. Then I'm
going here like he's that guy. Yeah, so, I mean
he's extreme like Gary Sharon. But hey, let's take a
quick survey here in the studio. Who is really gonna
do I because.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Really, I think I'm try. I don't try try.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I'll try because I'll go home. I'll turn the NBA
Finals on and the first free throws, I'll be like.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
All right, let's do this, and my hand this off
to one of the kids, and then oh, Danny, yeah,
put your kids on the case.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That is great work for the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He tell you to tell your kids every free burrito
you get, Dad, I'll give you five bucks not a
bad deal.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, five dollars doesn't excite that much. Yeah, that's true.
It's inflation rich. I'll be a twenty spot you.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Doing this, per fet you're sitting on standby.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I just do not think I'm going to be as
fast on the draw when it comes to those promo codes.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, I'm just too lazy. I'm too lazy. But I
know people love it.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I've I've used my phone before where it's like by
the time I see that thing, by the time I
maybe I can hook this up on my PC somehow,
but like it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Let me ask you back in the day before you
were on the radio, Danny J. Random question, did you
ever win anything on the radio? Meaning, were you ever
like Caller one hundred week? Yeah, I won when I
was a teenager. I called Z one hundred in New York.
Oddly enough, I ended up working there like a decade
later when I was a teenager.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Fix I won.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Uh, I was Caller one hundred and I went to
the Z advanced screening of pulp fiction. Really yeah, I
got to go to like the advanced screening. But remember
like movie, you know they would do that, Like, hey, now,
call Kiss FM or Power Well, of course.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
When I was a kid, I won a Cypress Hill
prize package. Yeah, it was like their CD. You know what,
I used to think, some weed. You know what I
used to do with them? Came it some weed?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, what I used to bribe I should probably shouldn't
even tell the story all the prizes that we would
give away to listeners. I used to bribe the security
guys at the radio station. I'd be like, y'all, I'll
give you some prizes if girls visit the studio, don't
make them sign in so there's no paper trail, and
it'd be like, I'll give you CDs and shirts and
(15:08):
whatever you want. What security guys creep, total creep move
what a creep. I don't know anybody who would do that.
Maybe it was a little creepy, very creepy. Maybe a
little bit have a Yeah, I have a brido courtesy
of Chipolte. Al Right, Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio,
Steel based Steel, Taco Britos, any other ones that come
(15:29):
to mind, isn't it. McDonald's is always big on like, hey,
if the Angels or Dodgers, uh, you know blank their opponent,
you get.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
There were free wings recently rich and you you walked
right past the dubs and you forgot it was the
day to get them.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I never you would have to buy a can of
coke or something to go to six Flags for free
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh yeah, like buy a day, get a year free
if you brought a pepsi or coke. Cam that was awesome.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Say, speaking wings, I'm pretty sure back when the Lakers
were like really trash and the Rams had just come
to town, I usually would get a lot of those.
Wingstop had a lot of promotions for the free boneless
wings with a large drink, so it was always good
did they do?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm not being I'm always perplexed by these things though,
because honestly, I've never been motivated by any of them really.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
But the proof is in the numbers and millions of
people participating.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think that's why this one's intriguing to me, because
I'm with you, you know, working in radio, you go
to an event, you say something as simple as who
wants a T shirt? People will punch someone else in
the nose for a T shirt. You got a Dodger stadium,
they're shooting master Card t shirts with a little Dodger's
logo out of a cannon and people are punching each
other for an Men's XL stupid T shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You could say, who wants a matchbook? And it was like.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
People are weird. It's true, people love freezing. It's not
that I can afford it. It's not that I'm not
mister big time. I'm not batty Stacks. I'm just too
lazy to be involved. Like I don't really want to
be involved. The minute anyone comes up to me like
now I'm good, it's like it's like there's some people
that really do want to try out the shoe samples
at the mall and I'm like, nah, man, I'm good.
(17:04):
Like I don't want to be bothered with it. I
always feel like there's a catch or there's a scheme,
and I just don't want to be involved. Well, tying
it into sports, which this is. Were you ever the
person that loved stadium promotional items? Because I'll tell you this.
My family, when I was a kid growing up on
Long Islands, maybe our family went to three or four
Mets games a year, but I promise you those four games,
(17:25):
one was like a fireworks night and the other three
had to be some type of beach towel. Bobble had
something because my parents were like, we're going, We're getting something,
and I was. I mean, once in a while a
good bat promotion back in the day when you actually
got a bat. Yeah, like a little bad Yeah, those
were nice. Those are fun. I mean to me, that
was just a bonus. Hard to believe that tens of
(17:47):
thousands of us got to hold bats at the stat right,
I know, But when you think about stadiums that don't
have high attendance, I'm not even trying to it's not
even trying to be funny. Did teams like the A's
have those promotions? Because when why do I say, what
like the first fourteen thousand people.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
In Get X.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Nowadays there's a lot of teams that don't get fourteen
thousand people. But Bobbleheads lure of people to the stadiums. People, Hey,
we give away swiggies because people love it. People love giveaways.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I remember in the beginning of the season, Am I
wrong by saying Otani Bobblehead night was?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Oh, it's a traffic was traffic night?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I worked?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I was there for Otani bobblehad at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It was a mess.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I had you snagged like twenty of them and you
picked your rent that month because people want one for
themselves and then they want to resell.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
One, yeah, which I can't believe.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
A couple of years ago, we had the Cody Bellinger
two different jersey bobblehead giveaway, and there was the gray one,
which everyone wanted to get right, but it was like
random in boxes and at that time, if you had
five tickets, you had to keep getting back in line.
Like you would come in and we would give you
the bobblehead and you had to exit and get back
in line.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And I don't know why they took that away.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I got the EPAE bubblehead. He's holding a sports book
with a little you know ticket. Boss Scott still wears
the Joe Mauer sideburns from sideburn Night.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
My favorite promotion of all time we once on Joe
sideburn Night. Look it up.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
If you think we're lying.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Our last holiday party, our boss was wearing those fake sideburns.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I have a Justin Turner fake beard that they gave
away at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
You wear it for your wife with a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Enjoy your FREEU hate. And then in the two thousands,
Cavino went to Saint Louis just to get the Scott
Spiezio soul patch. Yeah, I still got it. I still
got it. So anyway, enjoy that and enjoy your brito.
I hope you win. If you win, I want to
hear about it. We talked, you know, things do taste
a little better when they when they're free, for sure.
We talked about burritos. So while we're at before we
move on, any uh, any predictions And I say that
(19:46):
like this every show does predictions. But I saw one
of those maps of who's people, who are people rooting
for it? You see, was like, but the New England
Boston area was green, the rest of the country was
blue for the Mavericks. Do you think this The sentiment is, y'all, Luca,
everyone likes Mark Cuban. Is it a majority of people saying, ah,
Mavericks with that?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah, But the Celtics are talented, man, So I could
see this going seven games.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well, you were the one, Danny. Early on they pointed
out that have the Celtics even been tested? They moonwalked
into the NBA finals where.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, only had two losses, both clunkers, so they're kind
of known to have a clunker here and there.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, But other than that, they're on fire.

a decade, the Bruins and the Celtics, I don't think
anyone's like, oh man, Boston really needs something.
Speaker 2 (20:47):

We love to get people involved, So eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox or hit us up at Covino
and Rich. You ever learn something simply to impress someone?
(23:30):
That's really what we're asking right now. There's a story
involves Tony Parker and Kobe learning to impress. Now, call
me an egomaniac, A narcissist, the sel centered son of
a bee. I've learned at all people know. But to
be honest, I don't really think I go the extra
mile to impress anybody because my mom told me my
(23:51):
whole life how great I was. So if you didn't
like me, I really didn't like you back. I have
a great track record of loving people that like me.
But if you didn't like me, I really didn't learn
to impress you. Did you ever learn everything impress? You
never tried to impress a girl. I do have a
story he never you never go empty handed, Okay, but
(24:14):
I can't really say I went the extra mile to
uh take karate lessons because there was a hot sunset.
You don't know what I mean. You don't come empty handed.
But you know what Covino does do He comes to
your house for a fight night or a game, and
he brings a case of seltzers. But what he does
is he puts the good flavors in his fridge and
he collects the bad flavors, and that's what.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He brings to your house. I bring you all the
grapefruit seltzers.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'm so I do that. You don't come empty handed,
but for the record and say that Cavino compiles the worst.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's he's playing chess.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, for real, you're playing checkers. Now. I have done this,
but it was more like I was led there and
I just rolled with it. I didn't do it consciously.
I did it because it was sort of happening. I
was like, all right, if that's what made happy. I'm
not saying we don't do things to make our significant
others happy. Right, I've done that. We sort of touched
(25:06):
on that yesterday. Things you gave up for love, you
make adjustments. But rich You remember when I was dating
a full blown off the boat Italian girl, right, she
would buy me like all these like super Guido Italian
shirts and jerseys, like Italy soccer jerseys and things like that.
Number One, I don't really watch soccer that much. My
(25:29):
brother does played soccer growing up, but I'm not a
big fan, and I don't wear Italia jerseys and things
like that. I remember Carino came out one night to
the bar. I'm like, is this Italia I would wear?
Like you really leaned into the Italian side. Caminos half Italian,
half Mexican. You think you might as well have change
(25:51):
your name to Giovanni Gevani, Stephano Coveno. Yeah, you leaned
into it because all of her cousins were big into
soccer team Metallia. You know, they all were soccer jerseys
and made her happy. You know, I was playing along,
but again, she bought those for me. So it's not
like I learned anything specific or try anything specific to impress.
(26:14):
But I did roll with it in that moment to
make her happy, to impress her and her family, you know,
so that they did see. Yeah, I'm team Italy too.
I'm not just the Mexican guy over here. Hey, I'm
my dad's Italian. So I did it to impress her
and her family for sure, one hundred percent. But I
bring this up and I get the ball rolling because
(26:36):
I want to hear your stories, rich Danny g prefet Monci,
everybody listening eight seven to seven ninety nine, O Fox
Because of all people, Kobe Bryant did something. It wasn't
necessarily to impress, but it did impress Tony Parker. Yeah,
Tony Parker tells a story that you know what it does.
(26:57):
It makes me love and respect the late great Kobe,
even he's cut from that like and I say this kindly,
that psychopath cloth of Michael Jordan, where they were so
competitive and get they just wanted an edge so much
that they'd go to extra mind could only admire it
and take a list of this quick little anecdote from
the great Tony Parker.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
When I got drafted, all the Spurs talked about is
how we have to beat the Lakers because they won
their way to be a three peat. And so my
rookie year, we played the Lakers in the summerfinals. They
used to put Kobe on me, you know, to guard me,
always talking trash. And so I played well in that series,
you know, and Kobe spoke Italian, as you know, he
said some stuff, but it was like not really good.
And I said, man, you don't even talk French, you know.
(27:40):
And so the year after we played them again, you know,
in the playoffs. Well, and he was talking straight trash
in front while and I was like, man, you're learning
French duft.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
So he learned French in a year that next year
to sort of impress Tony Parker, but mostly the talk
trash and show him all right, my my Italian's garbage.
I can't speak French. How about now, and he was
dishing it out. I love It's like next level. Like
I said, I kindly say psycho behavior like Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Would pull stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Com petty competitiveness, Yeah, competitiveness is right.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
It is kind of petty.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's petty and competitive competitive when you talk about doing
things to impress someone, whether it's for competition or to
win someone over. One of my exes was an animal lover.
And I'm not saying I'm not. I'm not Michael Vicker, right,
I am. I'm a guy that has a pet. I've
had pets over the years, but I'm not the guy
(28:44):
that has three cats and two dogs and a ferret
and a goldfish. I'm a one animal, one pet, one dog,
or one cat type of guy. I did the girl
that I was so into that you blink your eyes
and all of a sudden, I have a house of
three cats, two dogs, and the topper of this, she's
a classic Cavino on Rich story Monsei from back in
(29:05):
the day. People that have been with us for fifteen
twenty years know the story. Please please take your time
telling it too. It's I gotta make a brief like
the underwear you're wearing brief. I just I want to
laugh at you again. Danny g this is the classic
story of Patty. You're like, who's Patty. I'll tell you
who Patty is. Patty's your real son. That's who Patty is.
Patty the possum, your first son. I'm living in Brooklyn
(29:29):
at the time. In the backyard there's a possum that
just sort of lingers, and my ex at the time
is like, it's Patti the possum. I'm like, you named it.
And she's like, we should bring Patty in. It's gonna
get hurt. I'm like, babe, no, we can't. And she's like, meanwhile,
this thing's growling at you. I'm like, baby's gonna it's
(29:52):
gonna give me rabies. And of course she's like, it's
a marsupial. Mouth.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, it's not e.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
It is not a possum.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Manzi.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I was like, it's a rat.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
She goes, no, it's like a kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's a marsupial.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
No, what city were you in. I was in Brooklyn. Okay,
this is a dirty ass.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So yeah, it was the mouth a big one on
a big ass, dirty ass Brooklyn possum. Got it and
my ex girlfriend's like, you know what, you know how
he knows it was a Brooklyn possum because.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I forget about it.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Get the lady, what are you staring at?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
So?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
What did you do with Patty?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So Patty, I was like, Babe, this thing is not
going to live amongst our house. So she goes, let's
keep it in the shower stall. So for days we
fed and housed a possum. But why because she's like,
She's like, we love this possum. I don't know, She's crazy.
And Rich dealt with this. He couldn't even use his
own bathroom because he'd opened the door anyway.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Turn around and say, hey, so get that Patty story.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
End mansy. So about after after a week, hey who
At the time my huevos were small, I.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Was like, okay, hond I guess we'll have a possum.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
So they named him Patty and they were in the
family picture together that howday season. So after about a
week or so, I'm like, I can't take it. Was
this ridiculous. Covino's making fun of me on the radio
every day, like, Yo, this dude's got a pet possum
because he's you know, whipped. I eventually like, Babe, we
got to get rid of this possum. So she's like,
all right, fine, I hope Patty's okay. We let the
possum out. The possum start calling you dad after a while,
(31:35):
bad are you my real dad? So stop? We let
this possum out. We we go down the block. I
let the possum out. Maybe it goes in a bush
or something. When I tell you, Monci. Maybe an hour
or so later, I'm like, let's go to dinner. We
drive down the block, dead passum in the middle of
the road Batty and my ex was.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Like, look what you did.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, but he learned to embrace this possum just simply
to impress. So his girlfriend at the time tie into
our topic and conversation.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Did she make you take a flat shovel and the
conc you know what I did? Not, Danny.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Looking back, I'm surprised she didn't say we needed to
give a proper, proper burial to Patty the possum.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
But hey, we all do things to impress with that,
That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It's not it's probably not Patty, you know, to look alike.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Could bring in past just a good one.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Like I was very adamant about not wanting a dog,
but I sort of learned to love the dog because
it made my girlfriend happy, right, and like even once
in a while, I even learned how to groom the
dog nice, you know, because it made her happy. Now Here,
I am like a woofy Sohan, I'm a doggie Zohan
cutting his hair. Yeah, I really do. And I didn't
(32:55):
want a dog to begin with because it made her happy.
So I guess, like when you say learn something to impress,
impresses what I have a trouble trouble with, it's like
I did it because it made them happy. Yeah, so
I have done my things. Danny G. I know you
got a story about your wifey because you know what
these things to me, it does say a lot about
(33:18):
how much they care about you. I think that's nice.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
You mean how I had to declutter and get rid
of storage units?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
No, what you told me? How she learned to watch
or learned to love fighting.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Right because of you? Oh yeah, yeah, as far as
boxing goes.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And MMA and things like that, she learned to love.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Like that was a pretend that that was a story
before the show.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That was brit Oh that was Brita said that, Yeah,
I knew somebody said that.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
My girl liked UFC but not boxing, so she's in
that category as well. Watches boxing will.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Be now story the lovely bris who edits here for
that cheese like cheese bribri Brianna, Briella, breb Briella.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
She was.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
She was saying that in high school she dove headfirst
into mixed martial arts to impress her high school.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Boyfriend, so she became MMA girl.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I like any stories like that, yeah, because I think
so many times, especially in my life, it's the guy.
I've seen the guy go in the extra mile to
impress the woman in that way. And when I see that,
it really isn't daring to me. It's all like oh
brend though with Danny, Yeah, with her boyfriend and cove.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
To impress her and to change up how I viewed things.
She is very minimalist. She doesn't like clutter. She doesn't
like a lot of belongings. I had two storage units,
a ton of DJ equipment, electronics, everything, Yeah, right, and
so I had to whittle it down to one tiny closet,
one little storage unit and declutter everything. And I'm still
(34:47):
working on it in the garage right now. You know
what your your beautiful wife. The fact that she she
started off pretending that she loved the Mets just for you.
Now she I think she really does.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, she's in. You know.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Those are little things that you do when you care.
So learning to impress? What did you do to learn
to impress?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Somebody? Let us know?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But let's get

thirty Eastern time, Celtics Mavericks. The big story in the
NBA that the Lakers have targeted Yukon head coach Dan
Hurley to become their next head coach. ESPN reports that
(35:34):
they're preparing a massive, long term contract to lure the
coach of the back to back national champions to the NBA,
and Fox Sports reports that Hurley has talked to his
players about already having discussions with the Lakers. Front off
of Sports reports that Warner Brothers, Discovery, owner of TNT,
is in negotiations with the NBA to secure a smaller
meteorites package as a fourth broadcast partner. So fingers crossed there.

been forged by trust and hands on care. Now the

measure and analyze racing surfaces to ensure consistency, and the

is implementing comprehensive reforms including state of the art testing, monitoring,
and strict enforcement, along with the new uniform safety standards,

go back.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah Yeahboddy, so again, we're live from the Tyraq dot
com studios. Cavino and Rich always reminiscent on a Thursday,
Old School and fifty hits, and this is the last week.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
For your guy.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Rich's hero, Pats Je my hero definitely, well, you know,
in our lifetime, think about it. We watched uh the
Late Great Trebec step Away from Jeff. Yeah, we were
all shocked when Bob Barker handed it over to Drew
Carrey and now Pat say Jack hands it over to
Ryan Seacrest. Tomorrow will be his last wheel.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Oh for you know, we watch it.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I grew up.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
You know, my mom's like a hard nosed Mexican lady.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And she took a lot of pride and always excelling
while watching Jeopardy. She want to cook it, No, but
she knows, like my mom is the type that knows
every answer on Jeopardy, and you're like, damn, my mom's
smart as hell. Meanwhile, if I knew one, I was
pumped about it, right, and she would always say like
Wheel of Fortune was for like idiots.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Yeahs true, I know, I know it requires a different
type of skill.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
It's not it's not Jeopardy level. I'm just telling you
my impression of it. That's not the takeaway from the
beautiful van of White, who's been on the show and
we love her. It's the end of an era though
ban and White. She continues on a past age Jack
moves out.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
You know what year he started nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Yeah that show man over forty years.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
And the crazy part is that of White when you
talk about luck and listen, she's likable and everything, but
she's love the fact that she's been able to touch letters,
turn letters and all that and make an amazing living
for forty years, timing luck everything.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Congrats to Banana.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Banana. Why oh Banana Banana white, Banana white, she was oner,
Bana ran and I might be remembering this right or wrong,
but I almost feel like it was right around the
time you were going through a divorce. And during a
commercial break she put her hand on Covino's knee and
almost like in a motherly way, was like, it's gonna
be okay, sweetening, like hugged you.
Speaker 6 (41:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I kept moving my leg and I was like, banana white,
how sweet she spin your letters?
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Could I buy a loo? But it made us think,
can I get a beat?
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Okay? You twelve?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yes, that's what I felt when I met.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
I got it when I met her, Like, ah, that's why.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah. Now, there have been great game show fails throughout
the years. They've been great game show moments and if
you have one that sticks out, we've we've taken upon
ourselves to compile maybe maybe our top three to five moments.
It's hard to find clean ones from family feud nowadays,
but we did our best. There's some memorable ones. And
(42:32):
we're gonna ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation, if you
could have been on any game show growing up, which
one would have been or maybe you've been on some
and is there a fail a moment, something that you love.

time was on the show playing the saxophone. Bill Clinton
was playing the sacks. That inspired you to play the sacks,
didn't it rid?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And it also inspired you to get what interns I
remember that's Rich Davis. Everybody, Hey, oh true, but not
but yesb Cafino, it's the show on Fox Sports Radio.
And if you like Reminiscent throwing it back on a Thursday,
well good because when fifty hits in life, when fifty
hits on the clock, we go old school when fifty hits.
(01:52):
And today we're talking game shows because it's a sad
and special coming of an end to a very popular
game show. Not that game show, but the host. Yeah,
I'm a wheel watcher, a wheel watcher, people know. I
know this is Pat se Jax last week. So we'll
(02:12):
talk a little old school video whe I'm sorry, game
shows fortune, So we'll talk some game show fails, and
we'll reminisce a little bit. But there's basketball to talk about,
there's life to talk about. This is a little of everything.
But you know, if you ask me, Rich, what do
you spend and waste money on the most when it
comes to fast food or just you know, takeout, It's
(02:36):
got to be Starbucks and Chipotle. I'd say that's the
top answer for a lot of people. However, I'm hearing
rumors about chip pult Day. First of all, people over
who's Chapolte? Sebastian Man of Scalco started it? You her
Portinoy saying on barstool, is anyone over forty says chippult Day?
(02:57):
Under Chipotle? It's Chipotle. Hey, okay, but before we hear
about your love of Chipotle and Starbucks, Basic Rich, We're
broadcasting live from the ti iraq dot com studios. Tyre
iraq will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast,

Two more things because it's Thursday and we don't have
(03:41):
time to fit in all our great ideas. A brand
new episode of over Promised debuts at four pm right
after this show seven pm Eastern over Promised on Fox
Sports Radios YouTube page. We're also going to be on
We've already been one The Fusco Show if you want
to check it out.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So yeah, I don't think people get it. That was
we story.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That was crazy. Look it up later on your own
time The Fusco Show. But back to the Chipote, don't
say that Chipote. The rumor is they're raising prices even
more and well it's a little inflation and shri inflation
because they're cutting down the size of your burrito again.
Wells you see the social media trick, Monci. People are
(04:22):
going in to Chipotle and they're filming the person making
their meal to make sure they get proper portions.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I would be so annoyed I saw someone with like
a Chipotle.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, you're Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Saw someone with like a light kit, like a full
They brought in like a light kit to like film
This thing jumped the counter at.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
That you shouldn't bring ring lights into Chipotle. There is
an update on this. The ce CEO of the company
spoke up at the end of last week and he
said this is not going to work. All the employees
have been told to go business as usual, even if
there's a camera on them.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, trick.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
There's a trick though, to make sure to ensure you
get the proper portion you want to explain, since you're
the Chipotle.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Expert, I was just saying, give me a little more Nerd. No, No,
that's just run you kick.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That's it. That's what you're gonna give me. And then
the sixty year old pimple faced idiot says, oh, yeah,
whatever you say, nerd. Yeah, you call the nerd nerd.
What is your name, Johnny Chipotle?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Come on, Mark.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, the trick is you tell them that you only
want one portion, so to give you one giant heap
of meat, and then after that, you know what, make
that too. Now they're forced to match that size, get it,
because if you say I want two scoops. You want
to ext me, they give you two little ones. But
who gets double meat a Chipotle that's got like a
thirty dollars barrita. I'm just saying the old tricks still works,
(05:45):
and it works.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
With ice cream.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, if you got a one scoop, if you then say, oh,
make it two scoop, they have to match that one
heaping scoop. Right, So that's the trick. That's how you get.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I've also been told by Shay here to not order
like on line, that they'll make it less.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know what I hate about listen, this is what
you get from Cavenio. Right, we talked about Chuck Paulte.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
When you go to Chapoulta.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The thing that bothers me is that when they take
the big scoop of guacamole, how many times do they
bang that big spoon to knock off the guac? Like
just scoop put it on my burrito.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
The whole guy over here you get you're rich enough
to get guaca on your burritos.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You don't get your what is wrong with you? Chapole's
guak is delicious? Do you think there's more in this?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
If you get it on the side. Do you think
more comes in the container or do you think they
scoop you more.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, the container's like eight dollars, but it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Right, I've done that with the Qso.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, because you could just say like, oh, I'll take
the guac, can you put on the side, and then
they'll put it in that container.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, wor all suckers for overpriced burritos. That's what we're
learning here.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Because i'body to go get this.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
After all. I go from my wife and I and
she gets a ball, I get a burrito, one side
of chips in guac, and it's like thirty five bucks.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So yeah, there's no bargaining.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
We just need a Mose out here. We need Mos.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I live down in the South when they had mos
which is kind of like Chipotle or free Birds, and
it's like, I would really like Mo's right now.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It doesn't taste and Monty, you can get a free burrito.
Rich has that in front of him right now.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You know how every so often they do promotional food giveaways,
like I remember back in the day. This is a
name drop, but during the Major League Baseball All Star Break,
probably a decade.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Ago or so, decade ago. It was longer than that.
We were in New.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
York, so we're talking this had to be at least
ten years at least. And the late great Lou Brock
was on our show and he was on to simply
promote steal a bass, Steal a taco. Yeah, he was
the og guy to talk about it back then, and
it was if someone stole the bass in the All
Star Game, everyone could get a free taco Bell Taco.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He was the spokes And what was funny about.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It was that he was such a sincere Hall of
Famer lou Brock rest in peace. But what I remember
most was he'd be having a real conversation with us,
and every so often his PR person would make eye
contact with him and he'd be like, and then Bob
Gibson and I, by the way, steal a base, steal
a taco. He made sure to get the plug in
and it was just it's very awkward but funny, but
(08:08):
steel Bay steel a taco. If you remember, like a
month ago, Bob, remember he missed free throw so that
people could get free chicken.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
There might potentially be some freak chicken on the board
if he misses a second free throw.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Man free chicken on the board.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So that's why the fans are getting a little real frothy.
Oh the pointing team thing.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Hold on the crowd, say you want chicken.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Here's your chop Gorilla Monsoonim that's Jim Ross. Oh my gosh,
he has broken that chicken in half. Now, Chipotle, who
is you know? Like we said, overpriced but delicious? Tonight
(08:56):
the NBA Finals, In all NBA finals long, they're giving
away free burritos.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Here's how it works.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
How what do I have to do?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Tell me?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Because again this is not a dollar taco. I think,
guess Lisos. So the chain explained it this way. It's
it's convoluted and tricky, so we'll look it up for yourself.
But if a player's fouled on a two point play
or three point play, if they make all their free throws,
whether it be two or three or technical plus the two,
(09:25):
whatever it is, if they make all the free throws
in that exact moment, you have to text Chipotle and
the first five hundred people will get a text back
for a free burrito. Okay, So did they make it
so specific for these reasons to get you involved?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
To get people involved?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We've got to be watching like the second quarter when
Luca gets fouled with eight minutes left, and then be
on your phone, be like, hey kid, shut up, hold
on eight eight.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Five you have Okay, they turned it into a real
time contest, right, I.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Got it, but I like it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And there's gonna be a code apparently on the bottom
of the screen every different foul and you have to
text eight eight a too too too look at you know,
in today's world, let's make it clear where everybody's complaining
about the prices of fast food and chipotles and things
like that, this is a cool way to maybe save
a buck and enjoy the game and play along.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So we're not hating on it, just explaining it's to.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Be on X.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
It seems like this is driven by X by Twitter.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Okay, yeah in Manti what I what?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I Why I even bring it up because you might
be thinking, who cares?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I just feel like a lot of times is a
giveaway and it's bunk.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's like a small fry McDonald's or a taco and
Carl's Junior. This is you know, a brit which Chipotle
is like a fifteen dollars nice lunch at dinner. So
Carls Junior got tacos, now, don't they?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Or Jacket a.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Box got those dollars tacos? Yeah, Jack in the box,
those crap dollar tacos. Okay, so these are great. Give
me another way to win something free tonight. It's just
free throws. Oh, that's it. That's the only one.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Like Steel Bay still talkos. Okay, there was more ways
to win.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now, each time a player makes all their free throws,
Chipotle will draw five hundred free entree codes on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And they set a cap five hundred no cap now
that yeah, they set a cap per free throw thing.
But they're saying the most throughout the NBA Finals. They're
prepared to give away seventeen thousand, five hundred burritos. Wow game.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Okay, so it's not even just a one night thing.
This is going on with Wow. This is rich for
the that would last rich until next Tuesday. What's it
the math? Let's let's be math guys and nut for
a second.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What's brito nowadays? Twenty five bucks?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Seventeen thousand, five hundred times seventeen hold on seventeen to
five times seven games is one hundred and twenty two thousand,
five hundred times.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Let's just say twelve dollars for a burrito. They're willing.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
This is a one point five million dollar ad campaign. Wow,
when you think about it the NBA Finals, that's pretty good.
Honestly that it makes sense if you're going to be
visible and we're talking about I'm sure other people are
joking about it, but hey, get your free burrito tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
If there's any and.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Who doesn't like free Believe it or not, there's a
lot of people listening like, yeah, who does that stuff?
A lot of people, A lot of people remember growing
up throw Back Thursday. How many people did you know
collecting the points from Marlborough? Remember they would collect the
points and how many people? How about the McDonald's puzzle piece?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So how about when grocery stores do like the games
with different pieces or whatever with your receipt.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh it wasn't It was McDonald's monopoly.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Monopoly.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah. Do you remember that that documentary we watched where
the kid took it literally where they have the jet
where Pepsi was giving away a jetliner. Yeah, there's so
many people love that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You know, my brother does.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
This is a tip for the cheapos like my brother, who,
as my dad says, when he opens his wallet, cobwebs
and moths come out. If you're a cheap skate like
my brother Jim. Hey Jim, if you're listening, he is
the cheapest. My brother is the type of guy that
goes on every app and signs up for things. So
every year on his birthday he gets off when I
(13:01):
when I hit up my brother, like, yo, happy birthday, buddy,
where are he was like, oh, but basket Robbins getting
my free scoop. Then I'm going to McDonald's. Then I'm
going here like he's that guy. Yeah, so, I mean
he's extreme like Gary Sharon. But hey, let's take a
quick survey here in the studio. Who is really gonna
do I because.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Really, I think I'm try. I don't try try.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I'll try because I'll go home. I'll turn the NBA
Finals on and the first free throws, I'll be like.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
All right, let's do this, and my hand this off
to one of the kids, and then oh, Danny, yeah,
put your kids on the case.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That is great work for the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He tell you to tell your kids every free burrito
you get, Dad, I'll give you five bucks not a
bad deal.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, five dollars doesn't excite that much. Yeah, that's true.
It's inflation rich. I'll be a twenty spot you.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Doing this, per fet you're sitting on standby.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I just do not think I'm going to be as
fast on the draw when it comes to those promo codes.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, I'm just too lazy. I'm too lazy. But I
know people love it.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I've I've used my phone before where it's like by
the time I see that thing, by the time I
maybe I can hook this up on my PC somehow,
but like it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Let me ask you back in the day before you
were on the radio, Danny J. Random question, did you
ever win anything on the radio? Meaning, were you ever
like Caller one hundred week? Yeah, I won when I
was a teenager. I called Z one hundred in New York.
Oddly enough, I ended up working there like a decade
later when I was a teenager.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Fix I won.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Uh, I was Caller one hundred and I went to
the Z advanced screening of pulp fiction. Really yeah, I
got to go to like the advanced screening. But remember
like movie, you know they would do that, Like, hey, now,
call Kiss FM or Power Well, of course.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
When I was a kid, I won a Cypress Hill
prize package. Yeah, it was like their CD. You know what,
I used to think, some weed. You know what I
used to do with them? Came it some weed?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, what I used to bribe I should probably shouldn't
even tell the story all the prizes that we would
give away to listeners. I used to bribe the security
guys at the radio station. I'd be like, y'all, I'll
give you some prizes if girls visit the studio, don't
make them sign in so there's no paper trail, and
it'd be like, I'll give you CDs and shirts and
(15:08):
whatever you want. What security guys creep, total creep move
what a creep. I don't know anybody who would do that.
Maybe it was a little creepy, very creepy. Maybe a
little bit have a Yeah, I have a brido courtesy
of Chipolte. Al Right, Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio,
Steel based Steel, Taco Britos, any other ones that come
(15:29):
to mind, isn't it. McDonald's is always big on like, hey,
if the Angels or Dodgers, uh, you know blank their opponent,
you get.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
There were free wings recently rich and you you walked
right past the dubs and you forgot it was the
day to get them.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I never you would have to buy a can of
coke or something to go to six Flags for free
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh yeah, like buy a day, get a year free
if you brought a pepsi or coke. Cam that was awesome.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Say, speaking wings, I'm pretty sure back when the Lakers
were like really trash and the Rams had just come
to town, I usually would get a lot of those.
Wingstop had a lot of promotions for the free boneless
wings with a large drink, so it was always good
did they do?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm not being I'm always perplexed by these things though,
because honestly, I've never been motivated by any of them really.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
But the proof is in the numbers and millions of
people participating.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think that's why this one's intriguing to me, because
I'm with you, you know, working in radio, you go
to an event, you say something as simple as who
wants a T shirt? People will punch someone else in
the nose for a T shirt. You got a Dodger stadium,
they're shooting master Card t shirts with a little Dodger's
logo out of a cannon and people are punching each
other for an Men's XL stupid T shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You could say, who wants a matchbook? And it was like.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
People are weird. It's true, people love freezing. It's not
that I can afford it. It's not that I'm not
mister big time. I'm not batty Stacks. I'm just too
lazy to be involved. Like I don't really want to
be involved. The minute anyone comes up to me like
now I'm good, it's like it's like there's some people
that really do want to try out the shoe samples
at the mall and I'm like, nah, man, I'm good.
(17:04):
Like I don't want to be bothered with it. I
always feel like there's a catch or there's a scheme,
and I just don't want to be involved. Well, tying
it into sports, which this is. Were you ever the
person that loved stadium promotional items? Because I'll tell you this.
My family, when I was a kid growing up on
Long Islands, maybe our family went to three or four
Mets games a year, but I promise you those four games,
(17:25):
one was like a fireworks night and the other three
had to be some type of beach towel. Bobble had
something because my parents were like, we're going, We're getting something,
and I was. I mean, once in a while a
good bat promotion back in the day when you actually
got a bat. Yeah, like a little bad Yeah, those
were nice. Those are fun. I mean to me, that
was just a bonus. Hard to believe that tens of
(17:47):
thousands of us got to hold bats at the stat right,
I know, But when you think about stadiums that don't
have high attendance, I'm not even trying to it's not
even trying to be funny. Did teams like the A's
have those promotions? Because when why do I say, what
like the first fourteen thousand people.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
In Get X.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Nowadays there's a lot of teams that don't get fourteen
thousand people. But Bobbleheads lure of people to the stadiums. People, Hey,
we give away swiggies because people love it. People love giveaways.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I remember in the beginning of the season, Am I
wrong by saying Otani Bobblehead night was?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Oh, it's a traffic was traffic night?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I worked?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I was there for Otani bobblehad at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It was a mess.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I had you snagged like twenty of them and you
picked your rent that month because people want one for
themselves and then they want to resell.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
One, yeah, which I can't believe.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
A couple of years ago, we had the Cody Bellinger
two different jersey bobblehead giveaway, and there was the gray one,
which everyone wanted to get right, but it was like
random in boxes and at that time, if you had
five tickets, you had to keep getting back in line.
Like you would come in and we would give you
the bobblehead and you had to exit and get back
in line.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And I don't know why they took that away.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I got the EPAE bubblehead. He's holding a sports book
with a little you know ticket. Boss Scott still wears
the Joe Mauer sideburns from sideburn Night.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
My favorite promotion of all time we once on Joe
sideburn Night. Look it up.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
If you think we're lying.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Our last holiday party, our boss was wearing those fake sideburns.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I have a Justin Turner fake beard that they gave
away at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
You wear it for your wife with a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Enjoy your FREEU hate. And then in the two thousands,
Cavino went to Saint Louis just to get the Scott
Spiezio soul patch. Yeah, I still got it. I still
got it. So anyway, enjoy that and enjoy your brito.
I hope you win. If you win, I want to
hear about it. We talked, you know, things do taste
a little better when they when they're free, for sure.
We talked about burritos. So while we're at before we
move on, any uh, any predictions And I say that
(19:46):
like this every show does predictions. But I saw one
of those maps of who's people, who are people rooting
for it? You see, was like, but the New England
Boston area was green, the rest of the country was
blue for the Mavericks. Do you think this The sentiment is, y'all, Luca,
everyone likes Mark Cuban. Is it a majority of people saying, ah,
Mavericks with that?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah, But the Celtics are talented, man, So I could
see this going seven games.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well, you were the one, Danny. Early on they pointed
out that have the Celtics even been tested? They moonwalked
into the NBA finals where.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, only had two losses, both clunkers, so they're kind
of known to have a clunker here and there.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, But other than that, they're on fire.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But as far as who wants who to win, most people,
I would say outside of the New England area are
rooting for the Mavericks right now.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, just for whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I just like and the chemistry too. It's fun to
watch between Luca and Kyrie.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'll think about it.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Between the Patriots, the Red Sox who got hot for
a decade, the Bruins and the Celtics, I don't think
anyone's like, oh man, Boston really needs something.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
You're fine, You're fine for a while.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And Dallas poor, they got the poor cowboys.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Give them something. Let's go Mavericks.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
All right, we got more Cavino and Rich and you're

We love to get people involved, So eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox or hit us up at Covino
and Rich. You ever learn something simply to impress someone?
(23:30):
That's really what we're asking right now. There's a story
involves Tony Parker and Kobe learning to impress. Now, call
me an egomaniac, A narcissist, the sel centered son of
a bee. I've learned at all people know. But to
be honest, I don't really think I go the extra
mile to impress anybody because my mom told me my
(23:51):
whole life how great I was. So if you didn't
like me, I really didn't like you back. I have
a great track record of loving people that like me.
But if you didn't like me, I really didn't learn
to impress you. Did you ever learn everything impress? You
never tried to impress a girl. I do have a
story he never you never go empty handed, Okay, but
(24:14):
I can't really say I went the extra mile to
uh take karate lessons because there was a hot sunset.
You don't know what I mean. You don't come empty handed.
But you know what Covino does do He comes to
your house for a fight night or a game, and
he brings a case of seltzers. But what he does
is he puts the good flavors in his fridge and
he collects the bad flavors, and that's what.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He brings to your house. I bring you all the
grapefruit seltzers.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'm so I do that. You don't come empty handed,
but for the record and say that Cavino compiles the worst.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's he's playing chess.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, for real, you're playing checkers. Now. I have done this,
but it was more like I was led there and
I just rolled with it. I didn't do it consciously.
I did it because it was sort of happening. I
was like, all right, if that's what made happy. I'm
not saying we don't do things to make our significant
others happy. Right, I've done that. We sort of touched
(25:06):
on that yesterday. Things you gave up for love, you
make adjustments. But rich You remember when I was dating
a full blown off the boat Italian girl, right, she
would buy me like all these like super Guido Italian
shirts and jerseys, like Italy soccer jerseys and things like that.
Number One, I don't really watch soccer that much. My
(25:29):
brother does played soccer growing up, but I'm not a
big fan, and I don't wear Italia jerseys and things
like that. I remember Carino came out one night to
the bar. I'm like, is this Italia I would wear?
Like you really leaned into the Italian side. Caminos half Italian,
half Mexican. You think you might as well have change
(25:51):
your name to Giovanni Gevani, Stephano Coveno. Yeah, you leaned
into it because all of her cousins were big into
soccer team Metallia. You know, they all were soccer jerseys
and made her happy. You know, I was playing along,
but again, she bought those for me. So it's not
like I learned anything specific or try anything specific to impress.
(26:14):
But I did roll with it in that moment to
make her happy, to impress her and her family, you know,
so that they did see. Yeah, I'm team Italy too.
I'm not just the Mexican guy over here. Hey, I'm
my dad's Italian. So I did it to impress her
and her family for sure, one hundred percent. But I
bring this up and I get the ball rolling because
(26:36):
I want to hear your stories, rich Danny g prefet Monci,
everybody listening eight seven to seven ninety nine, O Fox
Because of all people, Kobe Bryant did something. It wasn't
necessarily to impress, but it did impress Tony Parker. Yeah,
Tony Parker tells a story that you know what it does.
(26:57):
It makes me love and respect the late great Kobe,
even he's cut from that like and I say this kindly,
that psychopath cloth of Michael Jordan, where they were so
competitive and get they just wanted an edge so much
that they'd go to extra mind could only admire it
and take a list of this quick little anecdote from
the great Tony Parker.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
When I got drafted, all the Spurs talked about is
how we have to beat the Lakers because they won
their way to be a three peat. And so my
rookie year, we played the Lakers in the summerfinals. They
used to put Kobe on me, you know, to guard me,
always talking trash. And so I played well in that series,
you know, and Kobe spoke Italian, as you know, he
said some stuff, but it was like not really good.
And I said, man, you don't even talk French, you know.
(27:40):
And so the year after we played them again, you know,
in the playoffs. Well, and he was talking straight trash
in front while and I was like, man, you're learning
French duft.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
So he learned French in a year that next year
to sort of impress Tony Parker, but mostly the talk
trash and show him all right, my my Italian's garbage.
I can't speak French. How about now, and he was
dishing it out. I love It's like next level. Like
I said, I kindly say psycho behavior like Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Would pull stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Com petty competitiveness, Yeah, competitiveness is right.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
It is kind of petty.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's petty and competitive competitive when you talk about doing
things to impress someone, whether it's for competition or to
win someone over. One of my exes was an animal lover.
And I'm not saying I'm not. I'm not Michael Vicker, right,
I am. I'm a guy that has a pet. I've
had pets over the years, but I'm not the guy
(28:44):
that has three cats and two dogs and a ferret
and a goldfish. I'm a one animal, one pet, one dog,
or one cat type of guy. I did the girl
that I was so into that you blink your eyes
and all of a sudden, I have a house of
three cats, two dogs, and the topper of this, she's
a classic Cavino on Rich story Monsei from back in
(29:05):
the day. People that have been with us for fifteen
twenty years know the story. Please please take your time
telling it too. It's I gotta make a brief like
the underwear you're wearing brief. I just I want to
laugh at you again. Danny g this is the classic
story of Patty. You're like, who's Patty. I'll tell you
who Patty is. Patty's your real son. That's who Patty is.
Patty the possum, your first son. I'm living in Brooklyn
(29:29):
at the time. In the backyard there's a possum that
just sort of lingers, and my ex at the time
is like, it's Patti the possum. I'm like, you named it.
And she's like, we should bring Patty in. It's gonna
get hurt. I'm like, babe, no, we can't. And she's like, meanwhile,
this thing's growling at you. I'm like, baby's gonna it's
(29:52):
gonna give me rabies. And of course she's like, it's
a marsupial. Mouth.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, it's not e.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
It is not a possum.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Manzi.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I was like, it's a rat.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
She goes, no, it's like a kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's a marsupial.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
No, what city were you in. I was in Brooklyn. Okay,
this is a dirty ass.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So yeah, it was the mouth a big one on
a big ass, dirty ass Brooklyn possum. Got it and
my ex girlfriend's like, you know what, you know how
he knows it was a Brooklyn possum because.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I forget about it.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Get the lady, what are you staring at?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
So?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
What did you do with Patty?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So Patty, I was like, Babe, this thing is not
going to live amongst our house. So she goes, let's
keep it in the shower stall. So for days we
fed and housed a possum. But why because she's like,
She's like, we love this possum. I don't know, She's crazy.
And Rich dealt with this. He couldn't even use his
own bathroom because he'd opened the door anyway.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Turn around and say, hey, so get that Patty story.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
End mansy. So about after after a week, hey who
At the time my huevos were small, I.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Was like, okay, hond I guess we'll have a possum.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
So they named him Patty and they were in the
family picture together that howday season. So after about a
week or so, I'm like, I can't take it. Was
this ridiculous. Covino's making fun of me on the radio
every day, like, Yo, this dude's got a pet possum
because he's you know, whipped. I eventually like, Babe, we
got to get rid of this possum. So she's like,
all right, fine, I hope Patty's okay. We let the
possum out. The possum start calling you dad after a while,
(31:35):
bad are you my real dad? So stop? We let
this possum out. We we go down the block. I
let the possum out. Maybe it goes in a bush
or something. When I tell you, Monci. Maybe an hour
or so later, I'm like, let's go to dinner. We
drive down the block, dead passum in the middle of
the road Batty and my ex was.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Like, look what you did.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, but he learned to embrace this possum just simply
to impress. So his girlfriend at the time tie into
our topic and conversation.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Did she make you take a flat shovel and the
conc you know what I did? Not, Danny.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Looking back, I'm surprised she didn't say we needed to
give a proper, proper burial to Patty the possum.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
But hey, we all do things to impress with that,
That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It's not it's probably not Patty, you know, to look alike.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Could bring in past just a good one.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Like I was very adamant about not wanting a dog,
but I sort of learned to love the dog because
it made my girlfriend happy, right, and like even once
in a while, I even learned how to groom the
dog nice, you know, because it made her happy. Now Here,
I am like a woofy Sohan, I'm a doggie Zohan
cutting his hair. Yeah, I really do. And I didn't
(32:55):
want a dog to begin with because it made her happy.
So I guess, like when you say learn something to impress,
impresses what I have a trouble trouble with, it's like
I did it because it made them happy. Yeah, so
I have done my things. Danny G. I know you
got a story about your wifey because you know what
these things to me, it does say a lot about
(33:18):
how much they care about you. I think that's nice.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
You mean how I had to declutter and get rid
of storage units?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
No, what you told me? How she learned to watch
or learned to love fighting.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Right because of you? Oh yeah, yeah, as far as
boxing goes.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And MMA and things like that, she learned to love.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Like that was a pretend that that was a story
before the show.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That was brit Oh that was Brita said that, Yeah,
I knew somebody said that.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
My girl liked UFC but not boxing, so she's in
that category as well. Watches boxing will.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Be now story the lovely bris who edits here for
that cheese like cheese bribri Brianna, Briella, breb Briella.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
She was.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
She was saying that in high school she dove headfirst
into mixed martial arts to impress her high school.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Boyfriend, so she became MMA girl.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I like any stories like that, yeah, because I think
so many times, especially in my life, it's the guy.
I've seen the guy go in the extra mile to
impress the woman in that way. And when I see that,
it really isn't daring to me. It's all like oh
brend though with Danny, Yeah, with her boyfriend and cove.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
To impress her and to change up how I viewed things.
She is very minimalist. She doesn't like clutter. She doesn't
like a lot of belongings. I had two storage units,
a ton of DJ equipment, electronics, everything, Yeah, right, and
so I had to whittle it down to one tiny closet,
one little storage unit and declutter everything. And I'm still
(34:47):
working on it in the garage right now. You know
what your your beautiful wife. The fact that she she
started off pretending that she loved the Mets just for you.
Now she I think she really does.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, she's in. You know.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Those are little things that you do when you care.
So learning to impress? What did you do to learn
to impress?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Somebody? Let us know?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But let's get
an update from Monci Bolo Fellas.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Finally the NBA Finals are here. Finally we've been waiting
for forever. In case you forgot, We're in the middle
of the NBA Finals, Game one today from Boston eight
thirty Eastern time, Celtics Mavericks. The big story in the
NBA that the Lakers have targeted Yukon head coach Dan
Hurley to become their next head coach. ESPN reports that
(35:34):
they're preparing a massive, long term contract to lure the
coach of the back to back national champions to the NBA,
and Fox Sports reports that Hurley has talked to his
players about already having discussions with the Lakers. Front off
of Sports reports that Warner Brothers, Discovery, owner of TNT,
is in negotiations with the NBA to secure a smaller
meteorites package as a fourth broadcast partner. So fingers crossed there.
(35:58):
In the NFL, did you guys see the Vikings are
going to have all white alternate.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Uniforms meany Winter Warriors. Oh, they look so good, good,
so sweet. Honestly, you know, we're going to break down

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Back to you guys, thank you mich see all right.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Now, For centuries, the bond between horse and human had
been forged by trust and hands on care. Now the
sport of thirdbred racing is combining those traditions with cutting
edge tech and meaningful reforms, raising its safety standards to
the highest levels. New investments in wearable biometric devices that
measure subtle changes and a horse's stride, and the use
of advanced imaging technologies help flake potential problems for early
(36:54):
intervention by expert veterinarians, reducing injury risk. Scientific experts test,
measure and analyze racing surfaces to ensure consistency, and the
sports new independent regulator, the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority,
is implementing comprehensive reforms including state of the art testing, monitoring,
and strict enforcement, along with the new uniform safety standards,
(37:15):

Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah Yeahboddy, so again, we're live from the Tyraq dot
com studios. Cavino and Rich always reminiscent on a Thursday,
Old School and fifty hits, and this is the last week.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
For your guy.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Rich's hero, Pats Je my hero definitely, well, you know,
in our lifetime, think about it. We watched uh the
Late Great Trebec step Away from Jeff. Yeah, we were
all shocked when Bob Barker handed it over to Drew
Carrey and now Pat say Jack hands it over to
Ryan Seacrest. Tomorrow will be his last wheel.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Oh for you know, we watch it.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I grew up.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
You know, my mom's like a hard nosed Mexican lady.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And she took a lot of pride and always excelling
while watching Jeopardy. She want to cook it, No, but
she knows, like my mom is the type that knows
every answer on Jeopardy, and you're like, damn, my mom's
smart as hell. Meanwhile, if I knew one, I was
pumped about it, right, and she would always say like
Wheel of Fortune was for like idiots.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Yeahs true, I know, I know it requires a different
type of skill.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
It's not it's not Jeopardy level. I'm just telling you
my impression of it. That's not the takeaway from the
beautiful van of White, who's been on the show and
we love her. It's the end of an era though
ban and White. She continues on a past age Jack
moves out.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
You know what year he started nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Yeah that show man over forty years.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
And the crazy part is that of White when you
talk about luck and listen, she's likable and everything, but
she's love the fact that she's been able to touch letters,
turn letters and all that and make an amazing living
for forty years, timing luck everything.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Congrats to Banana.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Banana. Why oh Banana Banana white, Banana white, she was oner,
Bana ran and I might be remembering this right or wrong,
but I almost feel like it was right around the
time you were going through a divorce. And during a
commercial break she put her hand on Covino's knee and
almost like in a motherly way, was like, it's gonna
be okay, sweetening, like hugged you.
Speaker 6 (41:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I kept moving my leg and I was like, banana white,
how sweet she spin your letters?
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Could I buy a loo? But it made us think,
can I get a beat?
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Okay? You twelve?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yes, that's what I felt when I met.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
I got it when I met her, Like, ah, that's why.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah. Now, there have been great game show fails throughout
the years. They've been great game show moments and if
you have one that sticks out, we've we've taken upon
ourselves to compile maybe maybe our top three to five moments.
It's hard to find clean ones from family feud nowadays,
but we did our best. There's some memorable ones. And
(42:32):
we're gonna ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation, if you
could have been on any game show growing up, which
one would have been or maybe you've been on some
and is there a fail a moment, something that you love.
We'll get to that next right here. Fox Sports Radio
