All right, that's us. That is this showtime, Go time,
NBA Finals Thursday, Let's go on vo back Thursday, can

(00:31):
go old school Arsenio style. I used to love me
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, how OJ Dicky, How OJ was like Shack.

(00:56):
So when people are like when OJ did what he did, yeah,
it would be like if we acted that today. And
I think people will never quite realize the power of
our Senio Hall in his prime. I think he bit
his style off of Carsenio, though Carsenio was the original.
I used to love Carcidio.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
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. Are 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, Rich, of course? And it also inspired you

(01:35):
to get what interns. I remember that's Rich Davis. Everybody, Hey,
oh true, but not but yes, Tom Carfino, 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. And today we're

(01:56):
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 talk a little old
school video I'm sorry shows fortune. So we'll talk some

(02:21):
game show fails. And we'll reminis 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 got to be Starbucks
and Chipotle. I'd say that's the top answer for a

(02:44):
lot of people. However, I'm hearing rumors about chip pult Day.
First of all, people over who's Chapultebashion man of Scalco
started it. You I hear Portinoy saying on barstool, is
anyone over forty says chip pult Day under Chipotle? It's Chipotla. Okay.
But before we hear about your love of Chipotle and Starbucks,

it's Thursday and we don't have time to fit in
all our great ideas. A brand new episode of over
Promised debuts at four pm right after this show seven

(03:51):
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.
So yeah, I don't think people get it. That was
that was we stored itself. 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

(04:12):
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 going in to Chipotle and
they're filming the person making their meal to make sure
they get proper portions.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I would be so annoyed I saw someone with like
a Chipotle No, you're okay, I saw.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Someone with like a light kit, like a full They
brought in like a light kit to like film this
thing jumped the counter.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Rapp You shouldn't bring ring lights into Chipotle.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
There is an update on this. The 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 1 (04:59):
Well, I was old trick. There's a trick though, to
make sure to ensure you get the proper portion you
want to explain, since you're the Chipotle expert, I was
just saying, give me a little more Nerd. No, that's
just really, that's it. That's what you're gonna give me.
And then the six year old, pimple faced idiot says, oh, yeah,
whatever you say, nerd. Yeah, what you call nerd?

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Nerd?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
What is your name, Johnny Chipotle? Come on, Mark, No,
the trick is.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
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 ext me, they
give you two.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Little ones, but who gets double meat a Chipotle that's
got like a thirty dollars Brita.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I'm just saying the old trick still works, and it
works with ice cream. Yeah, if you got a one scoop,
if you then say make it a two scoop, they
have to match that one heaping scoop. Right, So that's
the trick.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
That's how you get I've also been told by Shay
here to not order like online that they'll make it less.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
You know what I hate about listen, this is what
you get from Cavenio. Right, we talked about Chu paulte.
When you go to Chapolta. 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?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Like just scoop put it on my burrito.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
The whole guy over here you get you're rich enough
to get guac on your burritos.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
You don't get what is.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Wrong with you. Chapole's guak is delicious. Do you think
there's more in this? Like if you get it on
the side, do you think more comes in the container,
or do you think they scoop you more.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah, the container's like eight dollars, but it's worth it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right, I've done that with the qso.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
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 2 (06:44):
Well, wor all suckers for overpriced burritos. That's what we're
learning here, because I'm good to go get this after all.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I go for 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. So yeah,
there's no bargaining.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
People just need a mose out here. We need MOS.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
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 (07:06):
It doesn't taste and Mancy, you can get a free burrito.
Rich has that in front of him right now.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
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 ago or so decade ago, it was
longer than that, we were in New 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

(07:32):
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 a bass in the All Star Game, everyone could
get a free taco Bell taco. He was the spokes
And what was funny about it was that he was
such a sincere Hall of Famer Lou Brock rest in peace.

(07:53):
But what I remember most was he'd be having a
real conversation with us, and every so often his PR
person would make icon tech 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 steel Bay steel a taco. If you remember,
like a month ago, boban remember he missed free throw

(08:17):
so that people could get free chicken.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
There might potentially be some freak chicken on the board.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
If he misses a second free.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Throw, man free chicken on the board.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
So that's why the fans are getting a little real frothy.

Speaker 8 (08:31):
Oh they're pointing the crowd, say you.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Want chicken, here's your chirilla Monsoon. 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?

(08:57):
Tonight the NBA Finals, In all NBA finals long, they're
giving away free burritos. Here's how it works.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
How what do I have to do?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Tell me?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Because again, this is not a dollar taco, I think,
guess lios. So the chain explained it this way. It's
it's convoluted and tricky, so we'll look it up 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,

(09:27):
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? To
get people involved, Mardam, We've got to be watching like
the second quarter when Luca gets fouled with eight minutes

(09:48):
last day and then be on your phone be like,
hey kid, shut up, hold on eight five two you Okay.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
They turned it into a real time contest, right, I.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Got it, but I like it. And there's gonna be
a code apparent on the bottom of the screen every
different foul and you have to text eight.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Eight a too too too look at you know, in today's.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
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. So we're not
hating on it, just explaining it's.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
To be on X.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
It seems like this is driven by X by Twitter. Okay,
yeah in Manti what I what? I Why I even
bring it up because you might thinking who cares? I
just feel like a lot of times is a giveaway
and it's bunk. It's like a small fry McDonald's or
a taco and Carl's Junior this is, you know, a burrito,
which Chipotle is like a fifteen dollars nice lunch at dinner.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
So Carl's Junior got tacos now don't they or jacket
a box, got those dollars tacos? Yeah, shack in the box,
those crap dollar tacos. Okay, so these are great. Give
me another way to win something free tonight. It's just
forrey throws.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh, that's it. That's the only one. Like Steel Bay
steel tacos. There was more ways to win.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Now, each time a player makes all their free throws,
Chipotle will draw five hundred free entre codes on Twitter, and.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
They set a cap five hundred no cap now.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
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. Okay,
so it's not even just a one night thing. This
is going on with Wow.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
This is rich for the that would last rich until
next Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, what's it? The math?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Let's let's be math guys in nut for a second.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
What'sto nowadays? Twenty five bucks? Wow, seventeen thousand, five hundred
times seventeen games, hold on seventeen to five times seven
games is one hundred and twenty two thousand, five hundred times.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Let's just say twelve dollars for a burrito.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
They're willing. 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 it. I'm
sure other people are joking about it, but hey, get
your free burrito tonight. If there's any and 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

(12:12):
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 (12:21):
So how about when grocery stores do like the games
with different pieces or whatever with your receipt.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh it wasn't It was McDonald's monopoly.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Monopoly.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
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. You know, my brother does. This
is a tip for the cheapoes 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

(12:51):
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.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
He gets when I when I hit up my brother,
like YO, happy birthday, buddy, where are he was like, oh,
but basket Robbins getting my free scoop?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
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 really,
I think I'm try.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I don't try try.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I'll try because I'll go home. I'll turn the NBA
Finals on and the first free throws, I'll be like, all.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Right, let's do this, and I hand this off to
one of the kids.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yea, And then oh, Danny, yeah, put your kids on
the Casey, that is great work for the kids. He
tell you tell your kids every free burrito you get, dad,
I'll give you five bucks. Not a bad deal.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, five dollars doesn't excite that much.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
It's inflation rich. I'll be a twenty spot.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
You doing this, per fet you're sitting on standby.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
I just do not think I'm going to be as
fast on the draw when it comes to those promo codes.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, I'm too lazy. I'm too lazy. But I know
people love it.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I've I've used my phone before.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
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, let.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
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 fix I won. Uh,

(14:27):
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.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Well, of course, yeah, 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?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Came it? Some weed? 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 I'd be like, I'll give you

(15:08):
CDs and shirts and whatever you want. What security guys creep?
Total creep 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

(15:30):
that come 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 (15:37):
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 (15:44):
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 3 (15:49):
Oh yeah, like buy a day, get a year free
if you brought a pepsi or coke cam that was awesome.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
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 (16:11):
I'm not being I'm always perplexed by these things though,
because honestly, I've never been motivated by any of them really.
But the proof is in the numbers and millions of
people participating. I think that's why this one's intriguing to me,
because I'm with you. We 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

(16:34):
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 (16:41):
You could say, who wants a matchbook?

Speaker 1 (16:42):
And it was like people are weird. It's true. People
love free stuff that I could 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,

(17:05):
I'm good. 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, with 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

(17:26):
those four games, 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 are nice, those are fun. I mean
to me, that was just a bonus. Hard to believe

(17:48):
that tens of thousands of us got to hold bats
at the stated, 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 they do,
I say, what, like the first fourteen thousand people in
get X. Nowadays there's a lot of teams that don't
get fourteen thousand people. But Bobbleheads lure of people to

(18:09):
the stadium base people. Hey, we give away swinggies because
people love it. People love giveaways. Danny. I remember in
the beginning of the season. Am I wrong by saying
Otani Bobblehead night was? Oh, it's a traffic was traffic
night I worked.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I was there for Otani Bobblehad at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
It was a mess.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I had you snagged like twenty of them and you
picked your rent that.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Month because people want one for themselves and then they
want to resell.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
One, yeah, which I can't believe.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
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. You had to exit and get back in line.
And I don't know why they took that away.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I got the EPAE bubblehead. He's holding a sports book
with a little, you know, a ticket.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Our Boss Scott still wears the Joe Mauer sideburns from
sideburn Night every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
My favorite promotion of all time. Everyone's one sideburn Night.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Look it up. If you think we're lying our last
the holiday party, our boss is wearing those fake sideburns.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
I have a Justin Turner fake beard that they gave
away at out your stadium.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
You wear it for your wife.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
With a cowboy hat.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Enjoy your Freemaus hate in the two thousands cannot went
to Saint Louis just to get the Scott Speezio soul patch. Yes,

Speaker 1 (20:26):
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.
It makes me love and respect the late great Kobe
even more.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
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.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
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 11 (21:00):
When I got drafted, all the Spurs talked about is
how we have to beat the Lakers because they were
on 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

(21:21):
talk French, you know. And so the year after we
played him again, you know, in the playoffs, well, and
he was talking straight trash in front of while and
I was like, man, you're learning French, okay.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
So he learned French in a year that next year
to sort of impress Tony Parker, but mostly to 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 that.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's like next level. Like I said, I kindly say
psycho behavior like Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Would pull stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Com petty, petitiveness, Yeah, competitiveness is right.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
This is kind of petty. 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

(22:24):
the years, but I'm not the guy 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. This is a classic Cavino

(22:45):
and rich story MANSI from back in 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 got to 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 is your real son. That's who Patty is.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Patty the possum, your first son. I'm living in Brooklyn
at the time.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
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.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
And she's like, we should bring Patty in. It's gonna
get hurt.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
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
gonna give me rabies. And of course she's like, it's
a marsupial.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
At the mouth.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's not cute. It is not a possum. Manzi. I
was like, it's a rat. She goes, no, it's like
a kangaroo. It's a marsupial.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
No, what city were you in.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I was in Brooklyn. Okay, there's a dirty ass.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
So yeah, it.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
A big one one, 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 I.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Forget about it. Hey, get the lady, what are you
staring at?

Speaker 4 (24:18):
So?

Speaker 2 (24:18):
What did you do with Patty?

Speaker 1 (24:19):
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 open the door and turn around

(24:43):
and say, hey, so get there, Patty.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Story end.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
So about after after a week, Hey who At the time,
Mike Huevos were small, I was like, okay, Hondy, I
guess we'll have a possum. So they named him Patty
and they were in the family picture together that how
they season.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
So after about a week or so, I'm like, I
can't take it. Was this ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
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.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
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, Dad, are you my
real dad?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
So stop?

Speaker 2 (25:21):
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 possum in the middle
of the road.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Bat and my ex was like, look what you did?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Stare on.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
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 5 (25:54):
Did she make you take a flat shovel and off
the concrete?

Speaker 6 (25:58):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
I did not? And looking back, I'm surprised you didn't
say we needed to give a proper, proper burial to
Patty the possum.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
But hey, we all do things to impress with that,
That's what I said. It's not it's probably not Patty,
you know, to look alike.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Could bring in pett just a good one. 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,

(26:36):
I really do. And I didn't 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 wife because you know what these things.

(26:57):
To me, it does say a lot about out how
much they care about you. I think that's nice.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
You mean how I had to declutter and get rid
of storage units?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
No, that's what told me. How she learned to watch
or learned to love fighting right because of you.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, as far as boxing.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Goes and MMA and things like that, she learned to love.
Like that was a pretend that that was a story
before the show. That was Brie. Oh that was Brita
said that, Yeah, I knew somebody said that My.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Girl liked UFC but not boxing, so she's in that
category as well. Watch his boxing will be now.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Story the Lovely Bree who edits here for cheese like cheese, bribri.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Brianna, Briella, brebre Briella. She was.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
She was saying that in high school she dove headfirst
into mixed martial arts to impress her high school boyfriend,
so she.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Became mm a girl. 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.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Cove 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, life, yeah, right,
and so I had to whittle it down to one
tiny closet, one little storage unit and declutter everything, and

(28:28):
I'm still working on it in the garage right now.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
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. Yeah,
she's in you know, like those are little things that
you do when you care. So learning to impress? What
did you do to learn to impress somebody?

Speaker 12 (28:49):
Now?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
If you look at the clock, we gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Let's go, there's a certain.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
What we gonna do is go back.

Speaker 9 (28:59):
Back into town, 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 (29:10):
Yeah, yeahbuddy, So again we're live from the Tiraq dot
Com studios. Cavino and Rich always reminiscent on a Thursday,
Old School and fifty hits and this is the last
week for your guy, Rich's hero, Pats my hero definitely, well,
you know, in our lifetime, think about it. We watched

(29:31):
the late Great Trebec step away from Jeopardy. Yeah, we
were all shocked when Bob Barker handed it over to
Drew Carrey and now Pat Sajack hands it over to
Ryan Seacrest. Tomorrow will be his last wheel. Oh for
you know what, we watch it. I grew up.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
You know, my mom's like a hard nosed Mexican lady,
and she took a lot of pride and always excelling
while watch sing Jeopardy.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
No, she want a cookie? 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, Yeah, wheal forces for idiots. True, I know,
I know acquires a different type of stuff. It's not

(30:22):
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, Ben and White.
She continues on, but past Jack moves out.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
You know what year he started nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, that's wild show man over forty years. And the
crazy part is that of White when you talk about
luck and listen, she's likable and everything.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
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 1 (30:59):
Congra, that's the banana banana? Why banana white? Banana white?
Bana ana. 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

(31:21):
be okay, Sweeten, and like hugged you.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
I kept moving my leg and I was like, banana white?
How sweet she spin your letters? Yeah, I was like,
could I buy a loo? But it made us think
can I get a B for okay? You twelve? Yes,
that's why I felt when I met her. I got
it when I met him, Like, ah, that's why.

Speaker 13 (31:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Now, there have been great game show fails throughout the years.
They have 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.
Hard to find clean ones from family feud nowadays, but
we did our best. There's some memorable ones. And we're

(32:06):
gonna ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation, if you could
have been on any game show growing up, which one
would it have been? Or maybe you've been on someone
and is there a fail, a moment, something that you love.
We'll get to that next right here, Fox Sports Radio,
your Bud's covin on Rich on a throwback Thursday hang time.

(32:26):
We're taking your phone calls. We do this every Thursday.
We get you involved, love hanging with you guys and
galas eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That's the
number at Covino and Rich Old School and fifty hits.
And this week we're talking game shows because it's Pat
Sajack's last week. Pat Sajack is saying, yeah, sure, yeah,
he had to sit down with his daughter recently. He's like, yeah,
sure I could. I could continue doing this, but it's time.

(32:50):
You know, he wants to go out on his own
terms and enjoy life as a future grandpa and things
like that. Now, Rich, when I think back in Reminiscent
a Third Day as a kid, of course, I always
wanted to spin the big wheel on prices. Right, That's
I think everybody's dream, right, and to play some Plinko
or something, or that golf game, that mini golf game.

(33:11):
But to spin that wheel has to be up there
for everybody.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
I got the Mountain climber.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
I think the Mountain climber golfing, but you said it.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I think if you were to ask one hundred people,
family feud style, what game show thing would you want
to do? I think plinko has got to be a
top answer. People love the idea of the Plinko board.
There's just something spinning the wheel spinning you think you
would get a dollar, You get like fifteen cents. Rich

(33:38):
did you also always want to get a kiss from
Richard Dawson growing up? I think, rich that's true. And
I always wanted to be on Press Your Luck as
a kid, and then after that stage, you know, growing
up watching John Davidson and Jim J. Bullock on Hollywood Square,
you wanted to sit in between Jim J. Bullock and
Alf Did and Joan Rivers. I didn't watch games shows

(33:58):
really ever again until Dealer No Deal, and I watched
because well, I'm a huge Howie Mandel fan, but I
never really watched game shows that much. You know, my
dad watches Dealer No Deal a couple times a week.
Is he watching that.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Big one where like they're often on an island or something.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
You know.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
I was gonna ask himne because Sarah and I were like,
let's watch something light. Yeah, I heard no one talk
about it, so I didn't watch it. But my dad
loves gambling and he loves good looking women.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Dealer No Deal. My dad will just watch over and
all Suitcase Girl.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Themb with twenty two. Your dad loves to party. That's
just like me, I guess. Yeah. So again, based on
all of that, we're going over the best game show moments.
The ones were able to go over because some of
them are a little raunchy nowadays on family feud, but
there's some great ones Steve Harvey taking that next level.
So best game show moments, we'll go over a few.
We compiled a few, but also the ones who would

(34:50):
have loved to have been on your thoughts on them
because we all grew up with now you said old school,
So let's get this one out of the way because
it might be the greatest answer in newly Wired, newly
What's with you newlywed?

Speaker 8 (35:02):
Game?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
He's pumped about the finals. Fana wife, bro Jack, there's
a clip that you probably remember. Yeah, this is old,
so you've seen it throughout your whole life. Bobby Banks
is always talking about what making whoopee? Like always Yeah,
as a kid, were you like, what's whoopy whoopie?

Speaker 12 (35:22):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I want to make whoopee? That's what I was thinking.
Then I saw WHOOPI Goldberg and I'm like, no, thanks,
Oh not that okay, But there was a classic newlywed
game moment.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Take a listen to this game show moment.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Specifically, is the weirdest place that you personally girls have
ever gotten the urge to make whoopee?

Speaker 1 (35:42):
The weirdest place?

Speaker 5 (35:48):
Yes, old.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Location, a location, Olga, wow, you little minx hot Mic Saucy,
you're on TV. How do you think her grandkids think
about that? Because because she's that was in the seventies right,
so that one she's trending now thanks to you guys.
Look at that clearly. If people are like what, I

(36:15):
don't get it, that was a great answer. They're asking, like,
I don't know, on top of a car or something
in the backyard, yup on the balcony. How about this one?
Maybe they meant that city in Montana so no, that's
butte Oh yeah, so speaking of pat say Jack walking

(36:37):
away from Wheel of Fortune. There's the famous clip where
there was a million dollars on the line, and I
say that because the wheel has that one sliver that
if you land on it, it's that million dollars spot.
And this young dude.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Lands on the million dollars spot.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Bam bam, and he loses because of a mispronounced Take
a listen, that's all idea.

Speaker 9 (37:03):
Yeah, myth.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The logical hero as accept that.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Okay, it's the weakest by the way. It makes me
not like passages. Yeah, he soused like you know what
he meant, But he didn't Achilles, he said less and
he was just abiding by the game. That's so hard though,
and that's so sad. You can change your guy's life.
He said, you're an idiot. Sorry, So do you think

(37:30):
I'm being seriously? Oh, that's how you pronounce him. No,
let's be real. Say Jack got a little condescending to
some people in the past few years. I guess because
he's old.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Yeah, he seemed grouchy.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
He was also drunk the entire time. He did by
his own admission, he was always drunk when he does
Wheel of Fortune. He is mentioned on radio shows. He
is all he's like usually taking a few drinks before
the show.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
I feel like Trebek in his later years also got
a little compass. That was that was Will Ferrell. Oh
that was there was there was, There was a great
travet clip. We should have pulled this one. Remember someone
described their hobbies and he's like, so, in other words,
you're a loser nerd. Remember that.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
I want to talk about condescending every time Trebeck would
give the look when he goes through the sports categories,
nobody answers. Now as at least with them, they they
got the right team. Durant was on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It's just it was Westbrook.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
It's amazing how you can be so nerdy and smart
in one thing and not know something as basic as
the question they missed. This week also was the eight
World Series. They couldn't identify the Phillies even though the
hints was Ryan Howard and like hell, hammles on Geese,
let me hit you with another one. That spot you
play the sound effect on our Patreon podcast all the time.

(38:46):
So the girl so confidently answers on family Feud because
she's not really listening. All she hears is Popeye. Take
a listen, name Pope's favorite food chicken. But if you

(39:11):
watch the clip where she does like a shimmy shick,
you know the answer is spinach, obviously. But you know spinach.
You know, four year old kids know the answer to
that jig.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
In four year old has actually this day and age
has seen Popeye to say.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
It's the parents job, the parents job, But it's the
she's thinking Popeye's chicken. That's funny.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
You want a fun fact When I was a little kid,
You might want to try this with your kids because it.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Worked with me. And look at me now.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
I wouldn't eat my vegetables like every other little kid.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
My mom would heat up spinach, put it back in
the can, and I ate it as if I was
Popeye out of the can. Wow, that might be a
good trick. So he has those calves, I mean there's
am he sliced one of his fingers off to the
arms the calves. Wow, which likes it in the can? Yeah?

(40:07):
He does? You shut your mouth. Now, we got a
few more moments that stand out based on that, What
are other moments that stand out to you and which
ones did you always want to be on? What did
you want to do? Can I hear with two more
and then double one? This one, to me is a
language barrier that cracks me up. Steve Harvey asks this dude, like,

(40:29):
what would ruin a wedding if it wasn't there? Do
you remember this one? Was it Lopez on the Mets?
What's going on here?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
No, no, take a lisit to this one family feud, Anthony,
give me a boy's name that starts with not that one.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
Let's play the game.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
Name the worst thing that could happen at a wedding.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
There is no pasta. Aposta is not there, Lapasta station herpasta.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
I've just told y'all, win you don't have food at
the wed there's no food at the wid How do
I put this? Yeah, postaster. The guy meant pastor, but
he thinks he's saying pasta, and the other one pasta.

(41:19):
The other one profests started playing I just love because
you know how on the show they instruct the families
you support your family members. So no matter how bad
the answer is, everyone's like, hey, good answer, good answer.
The fact that anyone can say good answer to this
one is mind boggling.

Speaker 12 (41:36):
Take a listen, Anthony, give me a boy's name that
starts with the letter H.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Good answer, person said, good, oh so good. Dummy family anyway,
thank you, guys. Let's go to the phones eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Of course, there's something like
I said, raunchy ones. We can't play the kind of
over the top on family feud, but let's hear your memories.
Let's go over some moments and aside from spinning the

(42:07):
wheel and press your luck, I always wanted to see
the whammy as a kid. Obviously, I wanted to win
big bucks.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
About punch a bunch, Punch a bunch, Yeah, good one,
punch the squares, yes on on prices right.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Also like sorry, sorry, you made me think of the
climbing guy.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Yeah, Danny said that before Mountain climber Guy. Every kid
love that one. All right, it's go to the phones.
We reminisced on a Thursday, Cavino in urch A seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, Trip in Vegas.

Speaker 12 (42:39):
What's up, Trip, what's going on?

Speaker 14 (42:42):
Gentlemen? Thanks for taking the call. When I was young,
y'all ive already said it. Of course, everybody wanted to
spin the wheel, because you always laugh about that and
then tay press your luck. But my moment that I
remember is from password, and I never will forget this
because you know, you give a word, you get a word,
so it's a celebrity. So Alan all the is giving
the word. So the word he's trying to describe is

(43:04):
dear r. And he looks at the guy and goes
go and the guy looks at him and goes knob.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
So it's fine. I think I recently saw one of
your spots, a big Betty wife en, didn't she They
dominate passwords Betty White and Lucille Ball.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yes, I saw them circulating social media for some reason.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
There was there was certain celebrities that we only knew
from game shows.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Right.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
It was a guy.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
There was a guy, Charles Charles Nelson runs Spot You
took the words.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Out of my mouth. He was on every show. But
I'm like, what did he do? Like Hollywood squares, like
the remember Madam the Puppets, You never saw what they
actually did. We didn't. I'm saying our generation, we just
knew them from the game shows. All right, let's go Jerry, Hey,
Jerry West Virginia. Hi, Jerry.

I remember they would be like remember like the big
waffler pancakes and the flag would be in there.

was my jam. So let's go. Who do we got?

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Dave in Vegas?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
What's up? Dave Hey?

Speaker 6 (45:43):
Dave Hey?

Speaker 9 (45:44):
I just I was I saw on Facebook it was
Will Ferrell.

Speaker 8 (45:52):
And Sean Connery.

Speaker 9 (45:53):
Yeah, let it.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Snow, Yes, okay, we got that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
You know.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
I don't think anyone's gonna say so it's s words.
I really get a kick out of all the YouTube
clips of certain celebrities on game shows before they were famous.
And one of my favorites was Aaron Aaron Paul from
Breaking Bad and he gets called out. All right, Aaron,
if your name is here, the next contestant, Rod Roddy

(46:21):
does this thing? Oh the price is rise.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
I feel like Moncey and Danny haven't seen that. Oh
my goodness, have you not seen?

Speaker 1 (46:27):
It's Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad and he gets called
and he just loses it. Yes, it's the best, it's
the best, and he hates it to the Showcase show down,
but to the level where it's like, yeah, he can't
keep it together like a hyped up college kid. It's

(46:48):
really funny. I love those clips. I really, I'm watching
it right now. Yeah, you know what's wild? Vana White
was on with a T shirt that what did it
say on it? I remember I could picture it.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
Yeah, she.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Beautiful?

Speaker 6 (47:04):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
You know what's interesting is these game shows are such
a part of the fabric of a lot of our childhoods.
I've enjoyed some of these documentaries. You see that guy
that memorized every price on the Prices right, how about
the guy that memorized the pattern on Press your Luck?

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:20):
No, I was gonna say. There's multiple game show documentaries
about people that, in reality, they did nothing wrong. Except
it's like counting cards in Vegas. It's legal but not
It's like, you know, is that blurry? It's great, you
had smart something.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
I gotta say.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
As far as best game show for me, though, it's
like I I remember we would write about who wants
to be a Millionaire? Like I'd see that in the
morning papers. Spot was on twice, were you yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Really?

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Yeah, we were there.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
I remember the very first guy who won it when
he used the lifeline to call.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Someone and.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
I was gonna say that, yeah, he knew the answer already,
and he's like, yeah, Dad, I have a lifeline. I'm
just calling you because, like I'm telling you, I'm a millionaire.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
I'm about to win. But he definitely died down.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
I feel like the beginning of Who Wants to Be
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was so awesome.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I was on.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
Yeah, they had Regis philb and they had all this
fanfare and just yeah, like everything.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
It just kind of gets tired after.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
I mean, did you guys ever see the Indian one
who Wants to be a Millionaires?

Speaker 2 (48:20):
No? That was a millionaire.

Speaker 5 (48:25):
And really quick rich Banana Whites t shirt it said
get serious on it.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
It's one of those seventies nineteen seventies.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
When Spot was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
I had the honor. That's how I did Who went twice?

Speaker 3 (48:41):
I'm guessing not good.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
You know what, I'll give you this.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
The second time he was on, it was called Redemption Week,
So that's how I did it.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
All over.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
I'm going to set the over under ed one and
a half correct answers.

Speaker 15 (48:55):
No, actually decently far. Yeah, what'd you think there's one hundred?
I no, I made it to the five. I made
it past the five thousand mark. I made it up
to the thirty thousand dollars. Question, what did you miss on?

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Again?

Speaker 15 (49:07):
Not to rub it in, but what to fertilizer? I
remember fertilizer was one of them, like the ammonia is
used most in the world in this and it was fertilizer.
Fertilized with the answer, but I true, it was either
I knew it was either cleaning product or fertilizer.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
I used the fifty to fifty. Of course they took
away the other answer. Did you stay out loud? I
know it's one of these two. I did see.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I think that's it's predetermined.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Yeah, what it is though, it's it's there's so much
stress in that moment, so much easier when you're sitting
on your ass right on the couch. Oh yeah, no, No.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
What'd you get after Texas?

Speaker 12 (49:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (49:39):
I don't even know. A sandwich? Yeah? Pretty much? High five?
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (49:42):
I had the I had the honor of being Spots Lifeline.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
He did great job. He didn't win. No, but I
we won the question, but they were there Boso.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Later on they chose, they chose, they changed the lifeline
to your plus.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
One, so no phone calls. You actually have to been
to someone with the studio. And I went on stage
with Spot and we were we were the promo for
that season because we got it right, and we started
like jumping and hugging each other. Still nothing. What was
your question you missed that time?

Speaker 15 (50:16):
That time was uh oh, the calorie count for like
a two year old, daily calorie count for a.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Two you know what.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
None of us were parents, yets, so you just guessing correctly.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Can I share a story? Rich and I were on
a game show for the Spiking remember Spike Network, of course,
so before Beat the Shazam was Beat the Shazam and
another was on there. Yeah, there was another show on
Spike and Rich and I were contestants on this this
game show about music. But the only funny part of
the story is that they asked you to bring different

(50:47):
shirts and they're like, yeah, hey, why don't you wear
that one and you wear this one? So I wore
my button down and Rich brought some other button down.
It must have been like it looked like it was
his Grandpappy's button down. It was like this over size.
It looked like it was three X and there. Yeah,
our listeners who've listened to us for a long time
got such a laugh attict because Rich was wearing his

(51:09):
oversized gigantic shirt. They called it my Seinfeld puffy shirt. Yeah, professor,
it was ridiculous, now, Denny, it was. It was one
of those times of like, just bring a lot of
different colors, because when there's other contestants, they want to
make sure everyone's wearing different colors. So I went in
my closet and I literally took like I just put
pushed like ten button downs together.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
It's like a three X. Put him in a garment bag.
And the one weak ass shirt I had, They're like,
that's the one we won ten thousand bucks. Why did
you have that shirt in the first place.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
I don't know. We won ten that thanks to me?
We won, but I blew the fan. It was thanks
to you. I remember being caught off guard though on
that show. Again, lights are bright when you're actually on them,
all right, per Fet On the Ones and twos, Welcome

(51:59):

game shows on a throwback Thursday again, our favorite moments
and of course the ones you enjoyed the most growing up.

(52:42):
Because I don't. I'm telling you Rich, I don't watch
them anymore. I really, I'll be honest. Millionaire and dealer
Node deal with the last round of game shows. You
know my wife and I watch the other day. I'll
be honest. You know what, I'm lying to your face
because I watch a game show the other day and
I liked it. Only one episode has aired so far,
The Lava Show on Netflix the Flora's Lava. No, I

(53:03):
do like that show. My kids love that.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
My kids did my kids jump from couch to couch?

Speaker 6 (53:08):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (53:08):
How I do?

Speaker 1 (53:09):
You could say it's a game show?

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Is a cake?

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Was American Gladiator? Is a game show? Because if it was,
this my favorite of all time? Yeah, it is absolutely.
Nitro was my favorite. But my wife and I were
watching a game show the other day and I said,
you know what, I actually really enjoy this. Only one
episode is aired Patton Oswald. It's called The One Percent.
They start out with a they start out with one
hundred people. No, because only one episode is aired and

(53:33):
it was on Hulu or Amazon Prime. If you say so,
I'll give you the premise.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
They start out with one hundred people, they ask a question,
and they start out with we asked people. Ninety percent
of people knew this question. If you get it wrong,
you're out.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
And then by the time they get to like question ten,
believe it or not, of those hundred people, there's only
a few people left and someone.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Went to one hundred thousand dollars. It's like an easy
trivia watch.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
I think you'd like it.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
I think that I think you're onder Some of the
American Gladiator just because is like, yeah, I remember deal
or no Deal and who wants to be a millionaires?
Like the last Big Ones, but like American Ninja Warrior
had a bit of a.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Run that was a while.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Yeah, that's that's kind of the same same idea.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
It's like we've kind of wipeouts kind of the same
way or whatever that was with with Rob Wriggle, like
we were having these obstacle course game shows.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
No, I'll tell you what, you know what I loved.
I love contestants.

Speaker 5 (54:25):
Run.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Tell me you didn't want to shoot that tennis ball thing?

Speaker 5 (54:27):
Of course?

Speaker 1 (54:27):
I did? You know, you know, it was a great show.
And uh, you know he's a huge fan of us.
Petros Petros somebody loves us. He loves our Petrose I
believe was the original host of Pros Versus Joe's.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
And I thought that was a really cool concept that
I'll be honest, I like that, all right, but that stopped.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Stop he stopping.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
You guys were talking obstacle courses when they do the show?
Did you ever watch tag?

Speaker 1 (54:54):
I did? I've seen it. Yeah, I've seen it for sure.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Dwayne Wade's show.

Speaker 16 (54:58):
What was the show Cube, which would be like on TBS,
and it was like also you had to do a
couple of sporty challenges, but like little things like right now, that.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
Shows pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 8 (55:11):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
It's a their game now called like the Balls or
something that's a game you play.

Speaker 9 (55:17):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Let's go to the phones and uhs go rapid fire
crossfire Andy in Mississippi? What's up? Andy?

Speaker 6 (55:27):
And I totally agree with Danny G's voices like butter
oh yeah, smooth like better and uh the My favorite
moment on Family few was when Steve Harvey I think
the question was and I'd love if you guys could
look it up and play it, asking a family what's

(55:47):
another name for mother? Oh?

Speaker 1 (55:50):
And they keep going mama, mommy, mama, mama.

Speaker 8 (55:53):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
That is classic. And you know what those Steve Harvey
so great at that. I mean, he's next level funny.
All of his expressions, they're just great. Man. Chris and Florida,
go ahead, what's up man? Hey?

Speaker 13 (56:09):
How's everybody doing tonight?

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Having fun? What's up?

Speaker 8 (56:12):
Hey?

Speaker 13 (56:12):
So you guys are talking about popping on something mindless
and watching something cool with the old lady. So when
you're talking about Dealer no Deal on the Island, Miranda
is my termin next girl, and she would not tell
me anything about the story at all. It still has
even though I've seen it.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Don't tell me because is it worth watching? Honestly, my
wife and I need something brainless after like watching a series.
Is the new Deal and o'deal Island good?

Speaker 13 (56:40):
If you want to see something brainless cool? Yeah, absolutely.
I don't buy into that type of stuff, you know,
usually I'll pop on something different. But I did watch
it because I was personally invested and I wanted to
see what happened. She is just as savage as she
appears on the show, Okay, and she did take and
she did take her winnings and put it back into
Fort Myers on her relief situation.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
So she did well, I don't want to know anymore.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
I think we're seeing an evolution though, too, because like,
is Traders a game show then, right, if there's a
prize at the end, like I think a lot of
it is turned into reality TV slash games Show's true,
and that's what we're sort of turning into. And by
the way, if the prize isn't substantial. I'm not intrigued,
Like if someone's gonna win twenty grand I'm not intrigued.
I want to watch someone win a million dollars. Yeah,

(57:25):
Jennifer and Michigan Real Quick.

Speaker 8 (57:28):
Bed Evening Guys, then Monty. I one thing I couldn't
be on any of these game shows because of the
hot light, because I'd say, Agim McLean was on Gut
Nickelodeon Guts and do you guys remember the other family feud?
Where's the guy? Do you ask them the question, what

(57:49):
would you not like to see if someone's robbing your house?
Naked grandma?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Naked grandma? Yeah, that's a classic answer. You know, Rich's
mom was on bowling for dollars, That's true. Back in
the what seventies eighties, Big Michael Runs, his place was
on a Supermarkets had to say, yeah, supermarket sweep, by
the way, it's great, look him up. It's the bear.
The bear was a contestant Supermarket Sweep.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Mike runs, he's already gone.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
You can't run this place if you're gone before three.
Oh snap, Danny, what's up? Danny? You're rich?

Speaker 13 (58:25):
How are you? Fellows?

Speaker 6 (58:26):
Having fun and excited for the game to Yeah, you
guys have a really good time with all the college
Hollywood squares.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
George Goebels, you.

Speaker 14 (58:35):
Had Philis Doller, Mike, that was that was fun of
some of the funniest.

Speaker 13 (58:42):
TV every Danny.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
What's interesting is spot pointed out before and you're sort of,
you know, reiterating that some of those old school people
our generation only knew as like celebrities from a game show. Meanwhile,
our parents were probably like they were on this show
or that show. There were names like you said, uh
like a not Chriatina, who's the guy who said it's
about Charles Charles Nelson Rileys? Like he's a guy I

(59:07):
only knew was a game show due Jan Michael, Vincent
Pallis Diller, Yeah, I only knew her from game shows.
No for sure. Bill in Connecticut, what's up, Billy?

Speaker 17 (59:15):
Hey? Everybody, how's it going. One of the coolest moments
or funniest moments with Stefan Diggs on Family Feud. You
haven't seen the clip that adds a little extra, but
he was one of the last two picks and uh
I Seaman Steve Harvey as the line of uh, leave
it and dig. His answer is in Okay, yes.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
I did see that. All right? Uh, show Raw, let's
go to you to wrap it up in Virginia and
then we'll go to MANSI friend update. What's up, show Rod?

Speaker 5 (59:43):
He actually wants to flash back to your first topic,
which is learning something.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Learning something, learning something called Kobe learned French exactly. Kobe
Bryant learned French just to talk trash and impress Tony
Parker back in the day. So what's your story.

Speaker 12 (01:00:00):
Oh yeah, it's going on, Fellas Danny d my g
Moncy Micordason. What's going on? So like the whole learning
something right?

Speaker 13 (01:00:09):
I hate reality shows are thought I did.

Speaker 12 (01:00:11):
I don't know if I do. So like the late
two thousands, it was The Bad Girls Club with my
baby Mama. I'm like, okay, it's sitting down watching this
like this is stupid. But then I'm like, oh, dang,
they're fighting and stuff. Okay, now I'm getting into it.
You know, we break up, you move on whatever. Then
you know, I mean my ex wife and she's all
into like married the Medicine and Real Housewives of Atlanta.

(01:00:31):
And also I'm like, man, this stuff is so stupid.
And then here I am watching it, and then currently
I'm watching too hot to handle.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Yeah, you know it is show, right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
I feel like we all say like, oh, I watch
it for my girl, and then you're like, I'm watching
all these shows now sort of.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
The Bachelor world today. I made fun of Rich for
years for talking about the Bachelor and stupid you know,
shows like vander Pump's like like Dan Byer watches yeah,
and you know, I find myself watching him now for
my girlfriend, you know, and you're like, and then you
hate yourself, but you start to like it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
You get into it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Yep. And not to place drop or event drop or whatever.
Rich and I did Monday night football in Mexico City
with ESPN. We were on a field, we were at
Azteca Stadium and everything, and we were just goofy hosts
and our security was next. Yeah, we had security, So
you could imagine the amount of security they have. Regardless

(01:01:26):
they have they.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Will have it. That's because they're they're rich athletes, not
because of game.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
But that's my point. If we had next level security,
I can't imagine what the athletes, what type of security
they have. Deddy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
I felt like I felt important for the first time
ever where they were like, oh, come you don't rich.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
We've assigned you bodyguards. My bodyguard was in sane Whitney, Houston.
They really want guard.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
But you felt like Laker fans this morning I got
to wake up to the news of Dan Hurley. I'm like,
hell yeah from JJ Reddick and people laughing to one
of the best coaches.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
On the planeff. I'm so torn on this, and I
wish we had more time to talk about. Well, continue tomorrow, Danny,
because maybe there'll be more happenings by then. But as
a Lakers fan, do you think this is the one
job that could lure a guy from a program like Yukon. Yeah,
is the Lakers job. It's like you're almost like it's
almost like saying you have a great job, but there's
maybe only a few jobs that are better.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
If you have aspirations to be an NBA head coach someday,
this is a great way to enter the league. Yeah,
the Lakers are not championship caliber right now, but you
could get them there in a couple of seasons.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
But the reality is roster and your biggest star might
not be there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
But the reality is And you're a Laker hater, but
the reality, Danny is that you're you're entering a scenario
where you're not coming off a championship. So if they
you know, he has a little leeway, there wouldn't be
an expectation championship or bust early like. So this might
be the greatest opportunity and you would say, well, no
way on earth is he leaving Yukon, Because there are

(01:02:52):
rumors of other offers. This might be the only thing
to get a guy to leave at all. So we
shall see. Hey, we're gonna talk about a bunch more
fun stuff on Overpromised, which kicks off in about five minutes.
We'll see you then. Until then, rivea there baby, see
you in the Overpromised.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Have it go on.
