Fifty hits, chee Cheese is making a comeback. Whoop, And
Richie loves chee Cheese, don't you, Richie? The tex Mex
restaurant Chee Cheese that we grew up with is coming back.
It closed down. What a decade ago, twenty two decades ago,
two decades ago, dang from a hepatitis a out break.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's time you went to chie Cheese. You got a
star tech, I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So yeah, you paged your friends that you were there
based on that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
What are some other chains, food chains? Maybe just the.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Store stores could be anything you know that should make
a comeback that you really wish would make a comeback.
I just want to hear you spit out some nonsense
like you know, I really miss it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It would be great.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And by the way, I mentioned on the border West
and Vegas said, now there's still one in Vegas, but.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, sometimes Cove there'll be like one last yeah, remaining place,
like the last Blockbuster exactly like here in southern California,
Pioneer Chicken, there's one left in the heart.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Of La Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So my answer though, and I say this because I
worked there, and I would tell people, yeah, whatever, yeah,
F you two.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm gonna be a radio star. All right, I'm gonna
leave this place a F you and this guy. This
guy's cool. I'm out of here. I'm gonna go do
radio people. Yeah whatever, dude.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Before I got into radio, I worked at Bennigan's and
I worked at ben for a while, but I believed
in ben Against Bennigans was like Applebee's or.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Chilli famous for your sampler, platter, sampler.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The best thing to Benigans was definitely the turkey turkey.
It was turkey on a pretzel roll. It was so
good that the rubin the you know, it was big.
The health club chicken platter. Their honey mustard was bomb.
I worked there for a long time. I bartended there.
I would love because I like that mid level restaurant.
(03:29):
You don't have to get all dressed up. You weren't
spending that much money. You're get a decent bang for
your buck. Had a nice bar. I had a huge
bart Benigans. They did like a world tour. They had
over one hundred beers, and you could if you tried one.
If ever, you get your name on the plaque. Right
it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Me, you're trying to bring it back right now, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I wish it did make it cos I've investors.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well you know what text Steve Kobe.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
A lot of times people work at places and they
tell you how much they hate it. I worked there,
and I'm telling you it was a great place and
it was a fun time. I wish Benigans made it
come back. And the movie what was the name.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Waiting?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Waiting Waiting based their movie on Bennigan's. They called the
Shenanigans in the movie, So Bennigans was great. I wish
you made a comeback, and I don't want your answer
to be something bunk like. I wish Woolworth would come back.
Do you really wish Woolworth would come back? Or coldor
like I mean, everybuddy Sean Weller who listens on the
(04:26):
iHeart app out here in La Sean said, Danny g
might remember, because I don't. He goes Numeral Numeral Uno pizza. Oh,
Deep Dish pizza, Like there was a Deep Dish spot.
There's a couple left, but they used to be everywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Like an old school blaze, that style of that place,
but it was Deep Dish.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, it's gonna be different city to city, but hey,
if you say so, I believe you. I said Sizzler before. Yeah,
I got one that I know. There's still a couple left,
but they used to be everywhere. Maybe not on the
West Coast or Midwest, but there was an ice cream place,
but it was a restaurant also Friendlies. Oh yeah, with
the fribble, the frieball, the ice cream Sunday. You would
get the kids, you would get to the ice Sundays stops.
(05:05):
They have Friendlies. Friendlies was big, but not as many
as there used to be. So yeah, I'd like to
see it come back in that.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I got two more. They had great dessert there, but
you also tease us. He said, there's one. There's one
that won't test to tell you, I got the one
that won't stand the test of time, all right, but
another truck stop one that you might say, it's like
one or two left. I used to love, no joke.
They're bacon, cheeseburger, their chicken, their salad bar Roy Rogers.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Rogers.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I used to love their nuggets and their sweet and
sour sounds. What about their fic they used to call
the Fix. I'm with you, I'm with Rich on the
Roy Rogers good fried chicken. I wish they made did
make a comeback on the East Coast. Did you guys
have a n W root beer?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, but the dope Yeah, but yeah, like Rich said,
they all started disappearing. I think there's one less left
out near Palm Springs.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So if you could bring one thing back restaurant store
would be dan Byer.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I was just gonna say to Ann w there's still
a bunch of them in the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's all.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, are the drive up window that we used to
be accustomed to about forty years so they're still around. Yeah,
but they are still around.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Anything come to mind for you or no when you
think back, just.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Along those lines if you want to throw anw like
I love long John Silvers, and there's just not as
many of them around anymore. There's different parts of the
country there are, but out here they've completely disappeared. You
used to even have the half and half of Along
John Silvers and a KFC. No more now on the
West coast.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's why when you do see those few that remain,
you got to stop in for nostalgic reasons. Like you know,
when you come out here to La and Burbank, there's
a Bob's Big Boy. It's probably one of the only
ones around. Yeah, so it's sort of novelty.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You know what else? Burbank, California has an Orange Julius.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, exactly so. And it used to be at every
mall growing up in Orange Julia. So you see one,
you gotta stop. But if you could bring it back.
Rich Before we go to the phone calls eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, which is the one that
wouldn't work today, you said, I think a firm top three.
I'm trying to figure out what three is. But Roy
Rogers and Bennegan's I think our top level.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, I like those answers.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
There was a place we would go with my family
and you weighed yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It was a scale and you paid what you wait,
kids paid what they wait.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it was like all right, like you know how
Sizzler would do, like, hey, come in with your kids,
eat for free, and you buy an eight dollars steak.
Back in the day, there was a place called the
ground Round. Wait did a doun'ts pay what they weigh too? Though,
I remember kids do, but we would.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I was sad because I was a kid ground Round.
I remember the ground Round for short. It was one
of my hometown I remember, and I say this kindly.
Let's just say one of my siblings was a little
chubby and we used to tease tease them like, hey,
not a great deal for mom and dead. Yeah, nobody
wants to get weighed before they go to eat. Rest
(08:12):
an odd thing. So that's your whole campaign was pay
what you went. You'd walk in, they'd be like the
adult meal. Just keep in mind this is the eighties
and nineties, so it'll be like seven dollars for your
parents to get like a steak and potatoes your your
parents paid. Your kids would get on a scale and
let's say your kid weighed one hundred and nine pounds,
would be a dollar nine for your kid, and they'd
write it down that is damaging. In twenty twenty four,
(08:34):
imagine weighing your kids like, oh my god, God, therapist,
what do you do? You crushed her self esteem? But
you got a nice burger out of it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Are you sure I could eat dead?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So I got two more, but I'm gonna save them
and go to the phone calls. But two more that
I want to bring back in tribute an honor to
Chee Cheese that's making a comeback. Let's go to the phones.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Cavino and Rich
want to start with Jack Jack in La.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's up? Jack? You're on Cavino Rich, Oh.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
My god, that's so funny because my brother's a little husky.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Right, so I'm go over here dying. Sorry, don't bring.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Your brother to the ground.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Round and then used to be.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
A place in Sokow called Pups and Taco Right, you did,
tacos and hot dogs. It used to be super great. Yeah,
they died out in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It was a chain.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, at least here on the West side, it was
you know, some change again, don't even last long. Like
there was a point in New York City where Ranch
one Chicken was the biggest thing in New York City.
There was millions right like here in La too, Like
Pinkberry when Pinkberry was huge, and all of a sudden
they just.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Fade away quick.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
People got half people were people got way tired of
that frozen yogurt pinkberry real quickly. They were everywhere. Ashton
in North Carolina. What's up, man, North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Ashton?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You there?
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What's I?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Man?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
There you are?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Oh well, so how are you all?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Hey man?
Speaker 7 (09:55):
I just wanted to say, there is on the border
still out here in Concord, North on it right outside
of Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, I seen him in a minute. Right.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
One restaurant I would like to say is I'm gonna
have to go with you, Rich Benniggins.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Man, you can't beat that.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
And I'm excited for the chee cheese comeback.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Same.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I missed that style of eating and get together, I
really do, but I miss it. I'm gonna quote you
this is something you said, and we've all said when
people say, oh man, I miss it.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
If they bring it back, then you better support it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
If they bring back benigans, I'm getting a turkeyo tool.
I'm getting a like Danny G said, a sampler with
the potato skins, the chicken fingers, the uh well, those wings,
and it had mozzarella sticks, the cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know, because because people are.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Usually full of it, they'll say things like, you know what,
how do they let twinkies get discontinued?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's like, what was the last time you eat a twinkie?
Is the toys r US theory too? Like toys or
RUSS is closing?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's like, yeah, well you're do what's shopping on Amazon
all the time?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You big idiot? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I was speaking of which what about do we want
to go back to KB toys?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Was that out here or not?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah? I would, and I would love more than just
a pop up version of toys r us covey because
and rich in dB they have youngsters. It would be
great to bring your kid in and let them run
around a toy so true.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
You know what, My daughter just fell into that pocket,
and I'm glad she had that experience and that magic of.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
We're going to toys run led.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The last big one in Times Square that closed when
we were living in New York City was the one
that had the ferris wheel inside the Times Square location.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It sucks that they closed those down.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I jokingly said KB Toys my mom, who was here
for Thanksgiving, we were reminiscing a little bit, and she goes,
I remember going to KB Toys and waiting in line
to buy you double Dribble. I'm like, you remember that
Double Dribble, But you know why, rich, because that was
the mall version of Like Toys r US that was
in the mall Kbkby Toys. What store do you want
to bring back? And I love that answer too, because
(11:59):
again I've feel like if you grew up with that,
you just want that magic for your kids. And it's
not like the toy isle at Targets is just not
the same that little pop up Toys r US version
they have. It's it's interesting you would say that because
my kids are spoiled little I don't want to say squirts,
yea squirts, yeah, spoil little squirts.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And I'll go to Target and I'm like, just.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Like the same three aisles they know by now it's
it's not the same Lego Little Kid toys and like
just like Steph Curry ruined the NBA, Amazon ruined toys
r US. That's true, Josh and Ohio John with c
and our Cheat Cheese making a comeback? What store would
you want to see make make a comeback?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Hey guys, thanks for taking my call as always. Uh,

Speaker 7 (12:55):

Speaker 6 (12:56):
My toys though, is.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Where my mother worked at in high school, and it
was fine dining for us. Any company went out to
eat there. It was Ponderosa.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
The Ponderosa I have are all.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Over Long Island where I grew up, the Ponderosa. Great call, man,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Do you remember whether it's Sizzler Ponderosa ground Round? I
know Danny g dan Byer all have the same memory.
I guess we've all been to one of them. Do
you remember when you were able for the first time
to use the soft serve machine as a kid, like
It was part of like the like you know, you
would buy the salad bar and at the end you're like, wait,
I could pull down the lever.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
As a kid. It's a big moment. And soft serve
ice cream. And he brought up that ultimate margarita.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Man.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, another reason I'm excited for che cheese. Oh, we'll
get one tonight Ultimate. We're getting Mexican tonight for the
company party. What up Ron in Rochester?
Speaker 1 (13:44):

Speaker 9 (13:46):

So uh love say pon Rosa? But Lum's, Carrol's and
Howard Johnson's the three quick Ones job. Yeah, but so anyway,
I was going to school at Northeasternior University. Reggie Lewis
is in my dorm freshman year, I was working at
ben Agains, ended up transfer to Syracuse. Go cues, come allantsy,
come in, Bud. Hey. I know we would delay, but
(14:07):
let's sing the happy Birthday song together. I was there
in nineteen eighty five. It's still in my head.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All right, we could try you ready birthday song.
Speaker 2 (14:14):

go to Ben in New Mexico. You're on the CNR show.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
I would definitely want the Pizza Hut buffet, going to
Pizza Hut right on the Flintstone Ride five dollars all
you can eat buffet Pizza Hut.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Someone pointed out the red plastic cups. Is that what
you gonna say? Yeah, oh no, you read my mond.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm so sorry, dude.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, plastic red cups for some reason are so nice, right.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, that's synonymous with Pizza Hut.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Pizza Hut has not done anything new for the last
twenty five years. Yet that's all they do is they
throw nostalgia in our face. It's true. It annoys me
so much because it was the best time. But you
see what's his face from the office doing all those
and he's wearing like a warm up tracksuit of the
apron that you would sit at with the red checkerboard.
(15:27):
That's all they do. They do the same stuff they
they think their stuff is new. It's just pizza wrapped
up in some different form. Yeah, but they try to
sell you now on the nostalgia because we all loved
Pizza Hut thirty.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Years because when we were kids, that was a treat
for us. We brought up titlement. We brought up in
titlement in the NBA and the entitlement of the players.
There's a lot of entitlement with just us and especially
kids today. I hate to say that because it makes
it sound like old guys, but it's true because if.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
You went to Pizza Hunt, dude, you were so pumped
about that. It's such a treat.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Treat when they now your kid has pizza like four
times a week. When they debuted stuff Crustie Pizza, I
mean that was a big moment.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I got too much. It came to mind though. It
was a big moment.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Before we move on again, Chee Cheese is coming back
every Thursday. We throw it back old school in fifty hits.
What are these chain restaurants or stores that you wish
me to come back? I got two more When I
worked at Bennigan's. The parent corporation owned another chain, so
the higher end version of Bennigan's was Steak in Ale.
(16:36):
I don't know if people remember that, but I loved it.
Steak and Ale was one of those places for me
growing up. Was like the fancy steak place in my
neck of the woods, but it was a chain. It
had the salad bar to the whole deal and rich
You're gonna know this one and love this one. They
actually took Steak and Ale down in my neck of
the woods like Springfield, New Jersey, and they built the
Famous Daves and Famous Daves.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
This was for chain barbecue. Still all right, but.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Maybe I haven't seen it in years. Man, But man,
I'm happy to know that.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
The one in Palmdale unfortunately burned out. Yeah, still big
in the Midwest. I just started in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Famous Dave's standby.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I feel like there are times I'd go with like
my high school college girlfriend to the mall, and a
lot of times we were attached to a mall. Give
me sweet and satirist, that devil spit. I didn't know
I was still around, but I'm happy to hear that.
So on the close front.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Just sorry to interrupt. Yeah, there's the famous days in Vegas,
you guys, don't know this. I went three times during
the Super Bowl last year.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, yes, well, because you know what, you rarely see
them so named famous Dan.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
That's gonna be like us at waffle house in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, that's so funny, man.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Now, before I worked at Bennigan's, which is before I
got into radio, I worked at a closed store and
it was a chain, and we were all the similar stores,
chess king, a lot of the guidos. There's merry go
around that you would see at the mall. I worked
at a closed store called the Garage, and it was
a mall store that sold men's clothes. And I do
wish it was another store like that, because dude, I
(18:10):
think even expresses closing down if it's not closed down already,
Like where do you get your clothes if not online
nowadays buying cuts or built Basic.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Or Lucky store maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
But there was a place and I worked there for
years called Garage where they sold Levi's and just regular
guy clothes.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And I sort of missed those things.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And based on chee cheese, those are some of my
answers that I wish mad to come back. Benigan's is

I would Sam had a migraine that I think most
guys can only compare to, like when their wife or girlfriend,
Like I feel like women get migraines more than men
that I don't even know if that migrain.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It was like just a throbbing headache.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I wasn't nauseated, it wasn't like sensitivity to light and sound,
but my head was just pounding and I needed a moment.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Marry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
People don't realize we have a blue tent in the hallway,
just like an NFL sideline.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We had doctor Spot doctor Spot concussion protocol.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Weird, Why did Spot have gloves on?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Anyway, Let's let's go to your feedback rapid Fire. Then
we'll go to h dB for an update and we'll
move along. But Danny g on an old school throwback Thursday,
Chee Cheese is making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Remember the old Mexican restaurants.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Two decades ago they closed down because of an outbreak
of hepatitis.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
A super dope about places like that Chee Cheese especially
though and our boy hit it before those those frozen drinks.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Man, they they dominated with their frozen drinks.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah yeah, Marguerite's and Decores for real.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They all had their special birthday so yeah, special birthday
songs and uh, you know, we'll go to Noah in
Main first. So what old school restaurant or store would
you want to bring back? What's up, Noah?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Guys? You know there's a lot of sub places that
are around. But I don't know about you, but I
missed Quiznos. I loved the good quib I.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Missed their mascot. Let me tell you, man, I used
to I used to stop by Quiznos a lot. It
was just another good option you would toast the sandwich
it was.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I used to like Quiznos was the best.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I read up on this because I was like, how
did Quiznos go away? They were far superior to Subway, Jersey,
Mike's Blimpy, all of these blimpy I mean, But apparently
they did a They had a bad business model or
plan and something went wrong. Because Quiznos was in the
two thousands.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
For a minute, why the.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Price point got to where it was, because I remember
it being really expensive.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
They had a bad deal with franchising or product. There
was some reason sucks because Quizno's I thought it was
far superior. Remember they had your sandwich would do that
like conveyor belt. Yeah, I do love it. I want
of our producers and editors here. Ryan Berschinger said there's
a Quiznos in downtown l A. And he had it
at the Dodgers parade.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Fixed.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You can get one downtown as far as I'm concerned,
though it's gone because I haven't seen him in a
long time.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Went up dB.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, as Sam's looking feversly, there's one in the valley
as well. So there's still the four five.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Just honestly for nostalgic reasons. Yeah, you might have to
stop by Rich and might I used to love me
some quick. We might need to treat the crew to
some some quizz sandwiches for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You have like this little singing rats or guinea pigs
that we had, the weird mouth and the.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Weird photoshop mascot they had. We're well headed times there,
all right, we have to do a little bang bang bang. Yeah,
Nate and Boise, what's up?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Nate, Hey, Nate, Hey guys, that's going what's up?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
What are you bringing back?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Okay? So I grew up in the antele of Valley. Uh,
and they used to have Pioneer Chicken. I don't know
if anybody's brought that up.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I did.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
It was like the best place to go to when
I was a kid. And then it's just like disappeared.
The last I heard, there was one place left in
like Colorado and it recently closed down.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
There's one last one left in Los Angeles. One and
Oj Simpson was famously on their TV commercials back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
People need to you know how people going about chicken
or I'll kill you? No, you know? Is that the
but you know what? Animals are about to go extage
and everyone disappeared.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We need to protect the pandas and everything. We need
to save some of these places.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Man, all right? Uh, Gordy in Wisconsin's up? Gordo, Hey, Gordy,
Hey Corners. I can't believe I got on with you.
What's up?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Man?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I'm an old guy, so probably you guys are too
young to remember the Red Barn Red Barn.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't know this, but I'll take your word for what.
What type of place was it?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
It was a cross between McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken
because it had great deep fried fried chicken.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
That was a place that there was a chain on
Long Isle. Chicken galore.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
There was like there was like chicken place places that
would I take a lot of the chicken places went away.
Boston Market is hard to find nowadays, you know. That's
the thing. I used to love Boston Market someplace that
was Boston Chicken. But Boston Market were around, They're hard
to find.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Love their mash.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Maybe you would get like stuffing cornbread the turkey.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I could taste their mashed potatoes right now as you talk.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Didn't you dip that candied cornbread into the mashed potato?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Delicious corn bread? Yes as well. I don't know if
I'd dip it into the mash, but I would sure
enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Again, you got to assume Dan by the bed business
model or something, because if we're all salivating and the
thought of like Boston Market, dude, what happened was a
lot of these mid level restaurants. We talked about this
on our Patreon show. The next generation came up and
they wanted all these little like like these artsy fartsy
coffee shop sort of restaurants and they stop going to
(25:50):
places like Fridays. It stopped being a thing. And where
our generation after the movies, we'd be like, let's go
to Fridays or let's go to They're not doing this.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
It's not always U got Chipotle is the first one,
like the five guys. That sort of stuff is else
is pushed out right, those sort of restaurants.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I believe it's Chili's is now pushing a burger and
they're saying the point matches. They're saying, our price point
is on the level with five guys in the stand
getting fat burger in this but to the point where
it's like you might as well sit down.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Their whole angle is like sit down and have a
better burger. They're trying to bring back a younger generation
to that.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I feel like pizza now is considerably cheaper than it
was when we were growing up. Like we talked about
Pizza Hut. It was like twenty bucks a pop for
a pizza back in the day. Now you go to Domino's,
you do any carryout special, it's like they're competing with
the frozen pizzas.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, there's two layers of pit pizza. Dan Bayer
as a as a pompous pizza New York, New Yorker.
When we were kids, a slice of pizza with a
dollar twenty five. Now a slice of pizza New York
City is like four bucks. However, as far as fast
food pizza goes, you're right. You could kid's birthday party
six Dominos does that, like six ninety nine for a
medium pie as many as you want, Like you could
(27:06):
k to your kids birthday party for like one hundred bucks. Well,
you know what they're compete with Costco pizza, which is
what a lot of families get for their birthday parties.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
AJ and Big Justice say that the Costco pizza brings
a boom or no, it always brings a boom.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I think one of my favorite things with all this
too is the when the restaurants go out of business
and a new business takes over, but it's still the
same frame, Like an old pizza hut is not like
a realtor place.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, like you totally know.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
You're like, that was a McDonald's, That was a Burger King,
that was a pizza hut.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Was this an ie hoop? Or did you choose a
light blue roof. Where we are right now? You uhould
be a Denny's. That's yeah, I've heard about that. I
didn't know that though. Oh there's the moon's over my
heavy in the corner rotting all right. When we do
one of the graduate hotels, we did a broadcast that
was an old Howard Johnson's. Yeah you can tell, and
we could tell. We're like, wait, is an old ho
jo hojo?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Let's say how to Rich in San Antonio? What's up Rich?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Hey, guys going man?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I love your show.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yoh, speaking of San Antonio, my western New Bronfels chachos,
speaking of good Mexican chachos by the airport, Oh my.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
God, chachos is pretty good.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
But they only do drive through.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Now yeah good.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, by the way, their case of is like the
size of your head. Really for the.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Monster nachos, Yeah yeah, I don't fill you up. But hey,
there's a couple of places, and I don't know how
they raid across the nation, but for a Zoli's it
was like fast food Italian.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay, Okay, I don't know that well.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
But go on, okay.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
And then in San Antonio there was a place man
forty five fifty years ago g W Juniors. They had
the greatest hamburgers in the world and they were specialty
before specialty hamburgers came out.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, you know what, I assume Again, it's always just
probably a bit business decision like quiz No's, like if
the place was loved and it's either kids didn't like
it anymore or a bad business decision one or the
other times change. Yeah, I want to take one last
phone call. On the last phone call, thank you buddy. Who
are going?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
We're going to Ron in Texas and then we'll go
to dB. What's up Ron? Hey? I love it. Schudar Band.
My wife worked was a lifeguard there. What's up there?
You go?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
So I'm not sure if these guys were in the
Northeast or in the in the West coast, but the ponchos.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You familiar with ponchos, I'm not now. I grew up
in New York, where we lacked good Mexican food terribly.
Like when I tell you, that's why chee cheese rung
a bell with me, because for sure it was like
fast food taco bell or there was like one chee
cheese by Roosevelt Field mall On Long Island, and I
was like, it was like that was fancy Mexican, because listen,
(29:53):
there's just terrible.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Now there's better Mexican on the East Coast. But back then,
I didn't have guacamole until I was like twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Hey, maybe Cheechee. He's just starting a trend.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Some of these comebacks were yearning for nostalgia, and I
hope uh Shobi's Pizza Place makes it come back.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Chuck E Cheese bought that.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm going to a Chuck E Cheese birthday party with
my son Sunday morning. And uh, the animatronics have made
way for like flat screen TVs. That's the only Yeah,
now there's only one place left that has the animatronic.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Band. Was there at Chuck E Cheese last weekend in
the Valley for my niece, and uh, it was interesting
being there as a grown adult.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I haven't been there since I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You guys, one place here, I don't know if it
was in other parts of the country, but COVID killed it,
Soup Plantation.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
COVID killed it and other people that work here about that.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
That sucks. You're not the only one I've heard talking
about soup play somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
If some investors brought it back, it would be jam packed,
all right.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Well, you know, and I used to go to a
place in New York for soup every winter, and honestly
we were like little nerdy soup boys every day. It's like,
we want to go to Hale and Hardy. Did you
guys ever hear of Hale and Hardy spot those years
for years? So anyway, thank you guys for chiming in.
If you want to continue chiming in, hit us at Covino,

wrapped up his report with saying, tonight, no Steph, Draymond

No Roger, no rerun, no Rent.
Speaker 2 (33:08):

now before I give you the Solar Power parlay, there's
just an update. You know, we know that Trevor Lawrence
is out for the rest of the season. He's been
put on injured reserve, which means it's it's done. This
year's you know, a wash of the Jags. But Aziz,
(35:55):
I'll share shair.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
It's asis. I'm sorry, supposed to do a radio show
when it's so come.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Anytime I say, Auzzi's I am thinking, I'm sorry the comedians,
but he's asis, I'm sorry, Azzi's I'm sorry. Right, he
did apologize, Azziz I'll show here did come out and say,
if you want me to be your villain, I'll be
your villain.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
No, he said, if you want me to be your villain,
I'm gonna punch you in the face.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Wrong, a wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Now, if you want me to be your villain, I'll
be your villain. And he concluded by saying see you
soon with a joker card emoji and a middle finger.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Wow. So if you want me to be your villain,
I'll be your villain. So I like it.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
I wanted to ask you, guys, I know there's certain
players like I heard Kurt Schilling on that four Red
Sox documentary talking about how he loved nothing made him
more joyful than silencing like a crowd that was like
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah, you've said off of fifty thousand people booing him.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And silent, the silence and the booze like either one
like the booze, and then the booze stop and it
becomes silence. When you're win, do you feel like you're
the type of person as an athlete that would embrace
being a villain. And I bring this up because I
think about how tough it must be going from, as
they say, and wrestling like the babyface to the heel.
(37:15):
And in our lifetime, do you remember when Hulk Hogan
went from being Hulk Mania trained, say your prayers, eat
your vitamins to becoming the nWo Hulk Hogan Majeane.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
The first thing you need to do is people to
shut up. Did you want to hear what I gotta sign?
Speaker 9 (37:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Man?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I did everything for the kids and the reception I
got when I came out here.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
You fans can stick it?
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Whoa man? When I was a kid?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I lost my ess when Hulk Hogan became a bad guy.
There's something to be said about rooting for the heel
of a Walter White, the Tony soprano. We love anti heroes,
even a great Taylor Swift song. And it is interesting
how Penguin on HBO Maxter Dexter. So there is nothing
to be said about embracing your role as the villain. Yeah,
(38:12):
And I think that you have to know deep down
that you are a good guy and people just want
to hate you, so you lean into it. And that's
as Chisholm lean into it in the postseason, right, He's like, yeah,
bring on the booze whatever you know.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
I want that. I feed off of that.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
But I think when you hear his story, dude, that
dude was caught in a tough situation. You're supposed to
block the first down, but but you can't because the
quarterback slide and he was caught in between. It's like,
you know, I didn't do anything wrong, man, I was
trying to play tough football and if people want to
hate on me, then bring it.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That's what he's doing. That's got a lot of people
defending him too.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
That's why the GM is in an interesting spot too,
because he got a lot of slack fers saying like, wow, wow,
he really had his back bad look by the Texans GM. However,
he's saying, you don't know this guy's character. He's a guy,
so to make him seem like he's the worst Matamod captain, right,
his work ethic was great. Danny g did say he
did have a history of lady aggressive aggressive. Yeah, but again,
(39:12):
you got this guy trying to stop a first down.
He was caught in the middle of a really aggressive play.
I don't think he meant I don't think anyone thinks
he meant to do that. But if that's where you
want to put him, then I think he's saying, well.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Then bring it on.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
And I think why there's a lot of people backing him,
even in the media right now, there's so many complaints
about don't let NFL turn into flag football?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Right and three games, maybe one game, maybe a penalty
on three games a lot. Well, listen, we got a
great game tonight. I'm gonna give you my pick for
tonight's Packers Lions during over promised our bonus podcast. But
right now I got the Solar Power parlay. Let's go.
It's time to parlay into your weekend. Rich Davis loves parlays.
(39:54):
You're making money and he loves his.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
New solar panels.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Solar Boy draftking.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
A Solar Power parlay. Ah rah lose, you're making money.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Hey, solar boy? Are you saving money with your Christmas lights?
Are those panels coming in here any ear? I didn't
even think of that.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I will say I believe in this parlay. But truth
be told. I threw you for a loop, but truth
be told, this is a straight up desperation parlay. When
I say desperation, this parlay favors my forty nine.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Ers to keep their hopes and dreams alive.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
But I do believe in the parlay, So I'm not
this nobs okay.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Game one, Bills at the Rams.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
The Bills want that home field, they want to play
in Buffalo, they want their fans jumping through tables on fire.
They need to beat the Rams to stay paced with
the Chiefs and hope that the Chiefs drop one.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Right, So, Bills at Rams.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
If you think playing out here in LA is like
some tough surroundings, it's not.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
So.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I like the Bills money line, right, So Bill's money
line to beat the Rams.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Do you like that part of it? I do?
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Okay, forty nine Ers at home hosting the Bears. The
Bears are in disarray. I don't care if the Niners
are banged up. The Niners still have a reason to play.
They are a game behind their division if things pan
out this way, right, Niners at home money line.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Over the Bears. I like it, I do.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
And then Seahawks as to be a close game there
and Seahawks at the Cardinals. I think the Cardinals, two
teams you downplay all the time. The Cardinals lost two
weeks ago to Seattle. I think at Seattle. Now they
lost this week in Arizona. I like the Cardinals. So yeah,
so I like Cardinals. Bills Niners. One hundred pays three hundred.
(41:44):
It's a three to one. So plays three hundred money
line Cardinals, money line, Bills, money line Niners.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Nice win win win.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
DraftKings dot Com codes billions, villions code. See our show

Fifty hits, chee Cheese is making a comeback. Whoop, And
Richie loves chee Cheese, don't you, Richie? The tex Mex
restaurant Chee Cheese that we grew up with is coming back.
It closed down. What a decade ago, twenty two decades ago,
two decades ago, dang from a hepatitis a out break.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's time you went to chie Cheese. You got a
star tech, I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So yeah, you paged your friends that you were there
based on that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
What are some other chains, food chains? Maybe just the.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Store stores could be anything you know that should make
a comeback that you really wish would make a comeback.
I just want to hear you spit out some nonsense
like you know, I really miss it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It would be great.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And by the way, I mentioned on the border West
and Vegas said, now there's still one in Vegas, but.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, sometimes Cove there'll be like one last yeah, remaining place,
like the last Blockbuster exactly like here in southern California,
Pioneer Chicken, there's one left in the heart.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Of La Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So my answer though, and I say this because I
worked there, and I would tell people, yeah, whatever, yeah,
F you two.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm gonna be a radio star. All right, I'm gonna
leave this place a F you and this guy. This
guy's cool. I'm out of here. I'm gonna go do
radio people. Yeah whatever, dude.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Before I got into radio, I worked at Bennigan's and
I worked at ben for a while, but I believed
in ben Against Bennigans was like Applebee's or.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Chilli famous for your sampler, platter, sampler.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The best thing to Benigans was definitely the turkey turkey.
It was turkey on a pretzel roll. It was so
good that the rubin the you know, it was big.
The health club chicken platter. Their honey mustard was bomb.
I worked there for a long time. I bartended there.
I would love because I like that mid level restaurant.
(03:29):
You don't have to get all dressed up. You weren't
spending that much money. You're get a decent bang for
your buck. Had a nice bar. I had a huge
bart Benigans. They did like a world tour. They had
over one hundred beers, and you could if you tried one.
If ever, you get your name on the plaque. Right
it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Me, you're trying to bring it back right now, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I wish it did make it cos I've investors.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well you know what text Steve Kobe.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
A lot of times people work at places and they
tell you how much they hate it. I worked there,
and I'm telling you it was a great place and
it was a fun time. I wish Benigans made it
come back. And the movie what was the name.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Waiting?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Waiting Waiting based their movie on Bennigan's. They called the
Shenanigans in the movie, So Bennigans was great. I wish
you made a comeback, and I don't want your answer
to be something bunk like. I wish Woolworth would come back.
Do you really wish Woolworth would come back? Or coldor
like I mean, everybuddy Sean Weller who listens on the
(04:26):
iHeart app out here in La Sean said, Danny g
might remember, because I don't. He goes Numeral Numeral Uno pizza. Oh,
Deep Dish pizza, Like there was a Deep Dish spot.
There's a couple left, but they used to be everywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Like an old school blaze, that style of that place,
but it was Deep Dish.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, it's gonna be different city to city, but hey,
if you say so, I believe you. I said Sizzler before. Yeah,
I got one that I know. There's still a couple left,
but they used to be everywhere. Maybe not on the
West Coast or Midwest, but there was an ice cream place,
but it was a restaurant also Friendlies. Oh yeah, with
the fribble, the frieball, the ice cream Sunday. You would
get the kids, you would get to the ice Sundays stops.
(05:05):
They have Friendlies. Friendlies was big, but not as many
as there used to be. So yeah, I'd like to
see it come back in that.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I got two more. They had great dessert there, but
you also tease us. He said, there's one. There's one
that won't test to tell you, I got the one
that won't stand the test of time, all right, but
another truck stop one that you might say, it's like
one or two left. I used to love, no joke.
They're bacon, cheeseburger, their chicken, their salad bar Roy Rogers.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Rogers.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I used to love their nuggets and their sweet and
sour sounds. What about their fic they used to call
the Fix. I'm with you, I'm with Rich on the
Roy Rogers good fried chicken. I wish they made did
make a comeback on the East Coast. Did you guys
have a n W root beer?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, but the dope Yeah, but yeah, like Rich said,
they all started disappearing. I think there's one less left
out near Palm Springs.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So if you could bring one thing back restaurant store
would be dan Byer.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I was just gonna say to Ann w there's still
a bunch of them in the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's all.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, are the drive up window that we used to
be accustomed to about forty years so they're still around. Yeah,
but they are still around.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Anything come to mind for you or no when you
think back, just.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Along those lines if you want to throw anw like
I love long John Silvers, and there's just not as
many of them around anymore. There's different parts of the
country there are, but out here they've completely disappeared. You
used to even have the half and half of Along
John Silvers and a KFC. No more now on the
West coast.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's why when you do see those few that remain,
you got to stop in for nostalgic reasons. Like you know,
when you come out here to La and Burbank, there's
a Bob's Big Boy. It's probably one of the only
ones around. Yeah, so it's sort of novelty.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You know what else? Burbank, California has an Orange Julius.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, exactly so. And it used to be at every
mall growing up in Orange Julia. So you see one,
you gotta stop. But if you could bring it back.
Rich Before we go to the phone calls eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, which is the one that
wouldn't work today, you said, I think a firm top three.
I'm trying to figure out what three is. But Roy
Rogers and Bennegan's I think our top level.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, I like those answers.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
There was a place we would go with my family
and you weighed yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It was a scale and you paid what you wait,
kids paid what they wait.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it was like all right, like you know how
Sizzler would do, like, hey, come in with your kids,
eat for free, and you buy an eight dollars steak.
Back in the day, there was a place called the
ground Round. Wait did a doun'ts pay what they weigh too? Though,
I remember kids do, but we would.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I was sad because I was a kid ground Round.
I remember the ground Round for short. It was one
of my hometown I remember, and I say this kindly.
Let's just say one of my siblings was a little
chubby and we used to tease tease them like, hey,
not a great deal for mom and dead. Yeah, nobody
wants to get weighed before they go to eat. Rest
(08:12):
an odd thing. So that's your whole campaign was pay
what you went. You'd walk in, they'd be like the
adult meal. Just keep in mind this is the eighties
and nineties, so it'll be like seven dollars for your
parents to get like a steak and potatoes your your
parents paid. Your kids would get on a scale and
let's say your kid weighed one hundred and nine pounds,
would be a dollar nine for your kid, and they'd
write it down that is damaging. In twenty twenty four,
(08:34):
imagine weighing your kids like, oh my god, God, therapist,
what do you do? You crushed her self esteem? But
you got a nice burger out of it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Are you sure I could eat dead?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So I got two more, but I'm gonna save them
and go to the phone calls. But two more that
I want to bring back in tribute an honor to
Chee Cheese that's making a comeback. Let's go to the phones.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Cavino and Rich
want to start with Jack Jack in La.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's up? Jack? You're on Cavino Rich, Oh.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
My god, that's so funny because my brother's a little husky.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Right, so I'm go over here dying. Sorry, don't bring.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Your brother to the ground.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Round and then used to be.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
A place in Sokow called Pups and Taco Right, you did,
tacos and hot dogs. It used to be super great. Yeah,
they died out in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It was a chain.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, at least here on the West side, it was
you know, some change again, don't even last long. Like
there was a point in New York City where Ranch
one Chicken was the biggest thing in New York City.
There was millions right like here in La too, Like
Pinkberry when Pinkberry was huge, and all of a sudden
they just.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Fade away quick.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
People got half people were people got way tired of
that frozen yogurt pinkberry real quickly. They were everywhere. Ashton
in North Carolina. What's up, man, North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Ashton?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You there?
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What's I?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Man?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
There you are?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Oh well, so how are you all?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Hey man?
Speaker 7 (09:55):
I just wanted to say, there is on the border
still out here in Concord, North on it right outside
of Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, I seen him in a minute. Right.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
One restaurant I would like to say is I'm gonna
have to go with you, Rich Benniggins.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Man, you can't beat that.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
And I'm excited for the chee cheese comeback.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Same.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I missed that style of eating and get together, I
really do, but I miss it. I'm gonna quote you
this is something you said, and we've all said when
people say, oh man, I miss it.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
If they bring it back, then you better support it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
If they bring back benigans, I'm getting a turkeyo tool.
I'm getting a like Danny G said, a sampler with
the potato skins, the chicken fingers, the uh well, those wings,
and it had mozzarella sticks, the cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know, because because people are.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Usually full of it, they'll say things like, you know what,
how do they let twinkies get discontinued?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's like, what was the last time you eat a twinkie?
Is the toys r US theory too? Like toys or
RUSS is closing?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's like, yeah, well you're do what's shopping on Amazon
all the time?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You big idiot? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I was speaking of which what about do we want
to go back to KB toys?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Was that out here or not?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah? I would, and I would love more than just
a pop up version of toys r us covey because
and rich in dB they have youngsters. It would be
great to bring your kid in and let them run
around a toy so true.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
You know what, My daughter just fell into that pocket,
and I'm glad she had that experience and that magic of.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
We're going to toys run led.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The last big one in Times Square that closed when
we were living in New York City was the one
that had the ferris wheel inside the Times Square location.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It sucks that they closed those down.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I jokingly said KB Toys my mom, who was here
for Thanksgiving, we were reminiscing a little bit, and she goes,
I remember going to KB Toys and waiting in line
to buy you double Dribble. I'm like, you remember that
Double Dribble, But you know why, rich, because that was
the mall version of Like Toys r US that was
in the mall Kbkby Toys. What store do you want
to bring back? And I love that answer too, because
(11:59):
again I've feel like if you grew up with that,
you just want that magic for your kids. And it's
not like the toy isle at Targets is just not
the same that little pop up Toys r US version
they have. It's it's interesting you would say that because
my kids are spoiled little I don't want to say squirts,
yea squirts, yeah, spoil little squirts.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And I'll go to Target and I'm like, just.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Like the same three aisles they know by now it's
it's not the same Lego Little Kid toys and like
just like Steph Curry ruined the NBA, Amazon ruined toys
r US. That's true, Josh and Ohio John with c
and our Cheat Cheese making a comeback? What store would
you want to see make make a comeback?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Hey guys, thanks for taking my call as always. Uh,

Speaker 7 (12:55):

Speaker 6 (12:56):
My toys though, is.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Where my mother worked at in high school, and it
was fine dining for us. Any company went out to
eat there. It was Ponderosa.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
The Ponderosa I have are all.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Over Long Island where I grew up, the Ponderosa. Great call, man,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Do you remember whether it's Sizzler Ponderosa ground Round? I
know Danny g dan Byer all have the same memory.
I guess we've all been to one of them. Do
you remember when you were able for the first time
to use the soft serve machine as a kid, like
It was part of like the like you know, you
would buy the salad bar and at the end you're like, wait,
I could pull down the lever.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
As a kid. It's a big moment. And soft serve
ice cream. And he brought up that ultimate margarita.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Man.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, another reason I'm excited for che cheese. Oh, we'll
get one tonight Ultimate. We're getting Mexican tonight for the
company party. What up Ron in Rochester?

I was going to school at Northeasternior University. Reggie Lewis
is in my dorm freshman year, I was working at
ben Agains, ended up transfer to Syracuse. Go cues, come allantsy,
come in, Bud. Hey. I know we would delay, but
(14:07):
let's sing the happy Birthday song together. I was there

Speaker 1 (14:12):
All right, we could try you ready birthday song.

Speaker 7 (14:41):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
I would definitely want the Pizza Hut buffet, going to
Pizza Hut right on the Flintstone Ride five dollars all
you can eat buffet Pizza Hut.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Someone pointed out the red plastic cups. Is that what
you gonna say? Yeah, oh no, you read my mond.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm so sorry, dude.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, plastic red cups for some reason are so nice, right.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, that's synonymous with Pizza Hut.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Pizza Hut has not done anything new for the last
twenty five years. Yet that's all they do is they
throw nostalgia in our face. It's true. It annoys me
so much because it was the best time. But you
see what's his face from the office doing all those
and he's wearing like a warm up tracksuit of the
apron that you would sit at with the red checkerboard.
(15:27):
That's all they do. They do the same stuff they
they think their stuff is new. It's just pizza wrapped
up in some different form. Yeah, but they try to
sell you now on the nostalgia because we all loved
Pizza Hut thirty.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Years because when we were kids, that was a treat
for us. We brought up titlement. We brought up in
titlement in the NBA and the entitlement of the players.
There's a lot of entitlement with just us and especially
kids today. I hate to say that because it makes
it sound like old guys, but it's true because if.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
You went to Pizza Hunt, dude, you were so pumped
about that. It's such a treat.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Treat when they now your kid has pizza like four
times a week. When they debuted stuff Crustie Pizza, I
mean that was a big moment.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I got too much. It came to mind though. It
was a big moment.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Before we move on again, Chee Cheese is coming back
every Thursday. We throw it back old school in fifty hits.
What are these chain restaurants or stores that you wish
me to come back? I got two more When I
worked at Bennigan's. The parent corporation owned another chain, so
the higher end version of Bennigan's was Steak in Ale.
(16:36):
I don't know if people remember that, but I loved it.
Steak and Ale was one of those places for me
growing up. Was like the fancy steak place in my
neck of the woods, but it was a chain. It
had the salad bar to the whole deal and rich
You're gonna know this one and love this one. They
actually took Steak and Ale down in my neck of
the woods like Springfield, New Jersey, and they built the
Famous Daves and Famous Daves.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
This was for chain barbecue. Still all right, but.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Maybe I haven't seen it in years. Man, But man,
I'm happy to know that.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
The one in Palmdale unfortunately burned out. Yeah, still big
in the Midwest. I just started in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Famous Dave's standby.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I feel like there are times I'd go with like
my high school college girlfriend to the mall, and a
lot of times we were attached to a mall. Give
me sweet and satirist, that devil spit. I didn't know
I was still around, but I'm happy to hear that.
So on the close front.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Just sorry to interrupt. Yeah, there's the famous days in Vegas,
you guys, don't know this. I went three times during
the Super Bowl last year.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, yes, well, because you know what, you rarely see
them so named famous Dan.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
That's gonna be like us at waffle house in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, that's so funny, man.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Now, before I worked at Bennigan's, which is before I
got into radio, I worked at a closed store and
it was a chain, and we were all the similar stores,
chess king, a lot of the guidos. There's merry go
around that you would see at the mall. I worked
at a closed store called the Garage, and it was
a mall store that sold men's clothes. And I do
wish it was another store like that, because dude, I
(18:10):
think even expresses closing down if it's not closed down already,
Like where do you get your clothes if not online
nowadays buying cuts or built Basic.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Or Lucky store maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
But there was a place and I worked there for
years called Garage where they sold Levi's and just regular
guy clothes.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And I sort of missed those things.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And based on chee cheese, those are some of my
answers that I wish mad to come back. Benigan's is
my number one answer. Royd Rogers for Rich. What's yours?

People don't realize we have a blue tent in the hallway,
just like an NFL sideline.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We had doctor Spot doctor Spot concussion protocol.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Weird, Why did Spot have gloves on?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Anyway, Let's let's go to your feedback rapid Fire. Then
we'll go to h dB for an update and we'll
move along. But Danny g on an old school throwback Thursday,
Chee Cheese is making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Remember the old Mexican restaurants.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Two decades ago they closed down because of an outbreak
of hepatitis.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
A super dope about places like that Chee Cheese especially
though and our boy hit it before those those frozen drinks.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Man, they they dominated with their frozen drinks.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah yeah, Marguerite's and Decores for real.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They all had their special birthday so yeah, special birthday
songs and uh, you know, we'll go to Noah in
Main first. So what old school restaurant or store would
you want to bring back? What's up, Noah?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Guys? You know there's a lot of sub places that
are around. But I don't know about you, but I
missed Quiznos. I loved the good quib I.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Missed their mascot. Let me tell you, man, I used
to I used to stop by Quiznos a lot. It
was just another good option you would toast the sandwich
it was.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I used to like Quiznos was the best.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I read up on this because I was like, how
did Quiznos go away? They were far superior to Subway, Jersey,
Mike's Blimpy, all of these blimpy I mean, But apparently
they did a They had a bad business model or
plan and something went wrong. Because Quiznos was in the
two thousands.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
For a minute, why the.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Price point got to where it was, because I remember
it being really expensive.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
They had a bad deal with franchising or product. There
was some reason sucks because Quizno's I thought it was
far superior. Remember they had your sandwich would do that
like conveyor belt. Yeah, I do love it. I want
of our producers and editors here. Ryan Berschinger said there's
a Quiznos in downtown l A. And he had it
at the Dodgers parade.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Fixed.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You can get one downtown as far as I'm concerned,
though it's gone because I haven't seen him in a
long time.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Went up dB.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, as Sam's looking feversly, there's one in the valley
as well. So there's still the four five.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Just honestly for nostalgic reasons. Yeah, you might have to
stop by Rich and might I used to love me
some quick. We might need to treat the crew to
some some quizz sandwiches for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You have like this little singing rats or guinea pigs
that we had, the weird mouth and the.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Weird photoshop mascot they had. We're well headed times there,
all right, we have to do a little bang bang bang. Yeah,
Nate and Boise, what's up?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Nate, Hey, Nate, Hey guys, that's going what's up?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
What are you bringing back?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Okay? So I grew up in the antele of Valley. Uh,
and they used to have Pioneer Chicken. I don't know
if anybody's brought that up.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I did.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
It was like the best place to go to when
I was a kid. And then it's just like disappeared.
The last I heard, there was one place left in
like Colorado and it recently closed down.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
There's one last one left in Los Angeles. One and
Oj Simpson was famously on their TV commercials back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
People need to you know how people going about chicken
or I'll kill you? No, you know? Is that the
but you know what? Animals are about to go extage
and everyone disappeared.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We need to protect the pandas and everything. We need
to save some of these places.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Man, all right? Uh, Gordy in Wisconsin's up? Gordo, Hey, Gordy,
Hey Corners. I can't believe I got on with you.
What's up?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Man?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I'm an old guy, so probably you guys are too
young to remember the Red Barn Red Barn.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't know this, but I'll take your word for what.
What type of place was it?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
It was a cross between McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken
because it had great deep fried fried chicken.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
That was a place that there was a chain on
Long Isle. Chicken galore.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
There was like there was like chicken place places that
would I take a lot of the chicken places went away.
Boston Market is hard to find nowadays, you know. That's
the thing. I used to love Boston Market someplace that
was Boston Chicken. But Boston Market were around, They're hard
to find.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Love their mash.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Maybe you would get like stuffing cornbread the turkey.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I could taste their mashed potatoes right now as you talk.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Didn't you dip that candied cornbread into the mashed potato?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Delicious corn bread? Yes as well. I don't know if
I'd dip it into the mash, but I would sure
enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Again, you got to assume Dan by the bed business
model or something, because if we're all salivating and the
thought of like Boston Market, dude, what happened was a
lot of these mid level restaurants. We talked about this
on our Patreon show. The next generation came up and
they wanted all these little like like these artsy fartsy
coffee shop sort of restaurants and they stop going to
(25:50):
places like Fridays. It stopped being a thing. And where
our generation after the movies, we'd be like, let's go
to Fridays or let's go to They're not doing this.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
It's not always U got Chipotle is the first one,
like the five guys. That sort of stuff is else
is pushed out right, those sort of restaurants.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I believe it's Chili's is now pushing a burger and
they're saying the point matches. They're saying, our price point
is on the level with five guys in the stand
getting fat burger in this but to the point where
it's like you might as well sit down.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Their whole angle is like sit down and have a
better burger. They're trying to bring back a younger generation
to that.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I feel like pizza now is considerably cheaper than it
was when we were growing up. Like we talked about
Pizza Hut. It was like twenty bucks a pop for
a pizza back in the day. Now you go to Domino's,
you do any carryout special, it's like they're competing with
the frozen pizzas.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, there's two layers of pit pizza. Dan Bayer
as a as a pompous pizza New York, New Yorker.
When we were kids, a slice of pizza with a
dollar twenty five. Now a slice of pizza New York
City is like four bucks. However, as far as fast
food pizza goes, you're right. You could kid's birthday party
six Dominos does that, like six ninety nine for a
medium pie as many as you want, Like you could
(27:06):
k to your kids birthday party for like one hundred bucks. Well,
you know what they're compete with Costco pizza, which is
what a lot of families get for their birthday parties.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
AJ and Big Justice say that the Costco pizza brings
a boom or no, it always brings a boom.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I think one of my favorite things with all this
too is the when the restaurants go out of business
and a new business takes over, but it's still the
same frame, Like an old pizza hut is not like
a realtor place.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, like you totally know.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
You're like, that was a McDonald's, That was a Burger King,
that was a pizza hut.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Was this an ie hoop? Or did you choose a
light blue roof. Where we are right now? You uhould
be a Denny's. That's yeah, I've heard about that. I
didn't know that though. Oh there's the moon's over my
heavy in the corner rotting all right. When we do
one of the graduate hotels, we did a broadcast that
was an old Howard Johnson's. Yeah you can tell, and
we could tell. We're like, wait, is an old ho
jo hojo?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Let's say how to Rich in San Antonio? What's up Rich?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Hey, guys going man?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I love your show.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yoh, speaking of San Antonio, my western New Bronfels chachos,
speaking of good Mexican chachos by the airport, Oh my.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
God, chachos is pretty good.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
But they only do drive through.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Now yeah good.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, by the way, their case of is like the
size of your head. Really for the.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Monster nachos, Yeah yeah, I don't fill you up. But hey,
there's a couple of places, and I don't know how
they raid across the nation, but for a Zoli's it
was like fast food Italian.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay, Okay, I don't know that well.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
But go on, okay.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
And then in San Antonio there was a place man
forty five fifty years ago g W Juniors. They had
the greatest hamburgers in the world and they were specialty
before specialty hamburgers came out.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, you know what, I assume Again, it's always just
probably a bit business decision like quiz No's, like if
the place was loved and it's either kids didn't like
it anymore or a bad business decision one or the
other times change. Yeah, I want to take one last
phone call. On the last phone call, thank you buddy. Who
are going?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
We're going to Ron in Texas and then we'll go
to dB. What's up Ron? Hey? I love it. Schudar Band.
My wife worked was a lifeguard there. What's up there?
You go?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
So I'm not sure if these guys were in the
Northeast or in the in the West coast, but the ponchos.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You familiar with ponchos, I'm not now. I grew up
in New York, where we lacked good Mexican food terribly.
Like when I tell you, that's why chee cheese rung
a bell with me, because for sure it was like
fast food taco bell or there was like one chee
cheese by Roosevelt Field mall On Long Island, and I
was like, it was like that was fancy Mexican, because listen,
(29:53):
there's just terrible.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Now there's better Mexican on the East Coast. But back then,
I didn't have guacamole until I was like twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Hey, maybe Cheechee. He's just starting a trend.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Some of these comebacks were yearning for nostalgia, and I
hope uh Shobi's Pizza Place makes it come back.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Chuck E Cheese bought that.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm going to a Chuck E Cheese birthday party with
my son Sunday morning. And uh, the animatronics have made
way for like flat screen TVs. That's the only Yeah,
now there's only one place left that has the animatronic.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Band. Was there at Chuck E Cheese last weekend in
the Valley for my niece, and uh, it was interesting
being there as a grown adult.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I haven't been there since I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You guys, one place here, I don't know if it
was in other parts of the country, but COVID killed it,
Soup Plantation.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
COVID killed it and other people that work here about that.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
That sucks. You're not the only one I've heard talking
about soup play somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
If some investors brought it back, it would be jam packed,
all right.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Well, you know, and I used to go to a
place in New York for soup every winter, and honestly
we were like little nerdy soup boys every day. It's like,
we want to go to Hale and Hardy. Did you
guys ever hear of Hale and Hardy spot those years
for years? So anyway, thank you guys for chiming in.
If you want to continue chiming in, hit us at Covino,

being said, before we took about embracing being the villain,
(31:14):

wrapped up his report with saying, tonight, no Steph, Draymond

no Steph, no Draymond, no rerun, no Rent.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
No Roger, no rerun, no Rent.
Speaker 2 (33:08):

now before I give you the Solar Power parlay, there's
just an update. You know, we know that Trevor Lawrence
is out for the rest of the season. He's been
put on injured reserve, which means it's it's done. This
year's you know, a wash of the Jags. But Aziz,
(35:55):
I'll share shair.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
It's asis. I'm sorry, supposed to do a radio show
when it's so come.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Anytime I say, Auzzi's I am thinking, I'm sorry the comedians,
but he's asis, I'm sorry, Azzi's I'm sorry. Right, he
did apologize, Azziz I'll show here did come out and say,
if you want me to be your villain, I'll be
your villain.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
No, he said, if you want me to be your villain,
I'm gonna punch you in the face.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Wrong, a wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Now, if you want me to be your villain, I'll
be your villain. And he concluded by saying see you
soon with a joker card emoji and a middle finger.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Wow. So if you want me to be your villain,
I'll be your villain. So I like it.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
I wanted to ask you, guys, I know there's certain
players like I heard Kurt Schilling on that four Red
Sox documentary talking about how he loved nothing made him
more joyful than silencing like a crowd that was like
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah, you've said off of fifty thousand people booing him.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And silent, the silence and the booze like either one
like the booze, and then the booze stop and it
becomes silence. When you're win, do you feel like you're
the type of person as an athlete that would embrace
being a villain. And I bring this up because I
think about how tough it must be going from, as
they say, and wrestling like the babyface to the heel.
(37:15):
And in our lifetime, do you remember when Hulk Hogan
went from being Hulk Mania trained, say your prayers, eat
your vitamins to becoming the nWo Hulk Hogan Majeane.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
The first thing you need to do is people to
shut up. Did you want to hear what I gotta sign?
Speaker 9 (37:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Man?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I did everything for the kids and the reception I
got when I came out here.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
You fans can stick it?
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Whoa man? When I was a kid?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I lost my ess when Hulk Hogan became a bad guy.
There's something to be said about rooting for the heel
of a Walter White, the Tony soprano. We love anti heroes,
even a great Taylor Swift song. And it is interesting
how Penguin on HBO Maxter Dexter. So there is nothing
to be said about embracing your role as the villain. Yeah,
(38:12):
And I think that you have to know deep down
that you are a good guy and people just want
to hate you, so you lean into it. And that's
as Chisholm lean into it in the postseason, right, He's like, yeah,
bring on the booze whatever you know.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
I want that. I feed off of that.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
But I think when you hear his story, dude, that
dude was caught in a tough situation. You're supposed to
block the first down, but but you can't because the
quarterback slide and he was caught in between. It's like,
you know, I didn't do anything wrong, man, I was
trying to play tough football and if people want to
hate on me, then bring it.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That's what he's doing. That's got a lot of people
defending him too.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
That's why the GM is in an interesting spot too,
because he got a lot of slack fers saying like, wow, wow,
he really had his back bad look by the Texans GM. However,
he's saying, you don't know this guy's character. He's a guy,
so to make him seem like he's the worst Matamod captain, right,
his work ethic was great. Danny g did say he
did have a history of lady aggressive aggressive. Yeah, but again,
(39:12):
you got this guy trying to stop a first down.
He was caught in the middle of a really aggressive play.
I don't think he meant I don't think anyone thinks
he meant to do that. But if that's where you
want to put him, then I think he's saying, well.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Then bring it on.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
And I think why there's a lot of people backing him,
even in the media right now, there's so many complaints
about don't let NFL turn into flag football?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Right and three games, maybe one game, maybe a penalty
on three games a lot. Well, listen, we got a
great game tonight. I'm gonna give you my pick for
tonight's Packers Lions during over promised our bonus podcast. But
right now I got the Solar Power parlay. Let's go.
It's time to parlay into your weekend. Rich Davis loves parlays.
(39:54):
You're making money and he loves his.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
New solar panels.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Solar Boy draftking.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
A Solar Power parlay. Ah rah lose, you're making money.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Hey, solar boy? Are you saving money with your Christmas lights?
Are those panels coming in here any ear? I didn't
even think of that.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I will say I believe in this parlay. But truth
be told. I threw you for a loop, but truth
be told, this is a straight up desperation parlay. When
I say desperation, this parlay favors my forty nine.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Ers to keep their hopes and dreams alive.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
But I do believe in the parlay, So I'm not
this nobs okay.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Game one, Bills at the Rams.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
The Bills want that home field, they want to play
in Buffalo, they want their fans jumping through tables on fire.
They need to beat the Rams to stay paced with
the Chiefs and hope that the Chiefs drop one.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Right, So, Bills at Rams.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
If you think playing out here in LA is like
some tough surroundings, it's not.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
So.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I like the Bills money line, right, So Bill's money
line to beat the Rams.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Do you like that part of it? I do?
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Okay, forty nine Ers at home hosting the Bears. The
Bears are in disarray. I don't care if the Niners
are banged up. The Niners still have a reason to play.
They are a game behind their division if things pan
out this way, right, Niners at home money line.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Over the Bears. I like it, I do.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
And then Seahawks as to be a close game there
and Seahawks at the Cardinals. I think the Cardinals, two
teams you downplay all the time. The Cardinals lost two
weeks ago to Seattle. I think at Seattle. Now they
lost this week in Arizona. I like the Cardinals. So yeah,
so I like Cardinals. Bills Niners. One hundred pays three hundred.
(41:44):
It's a three to one. So plays three hundred money
line Cardinals, money line, Bills, money line Niners.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Nice win win win.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
DraftKings dot Com codes billions, villions code. See our show
at DraftKings Sportsbook. All right, we'll see you guys in
a few minut It's Over Promised, our bonus podcast, and
