man that passed away, yes straight, at the age of

(01:35):
we'll go over some of the best coaches and movies

Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. It'll go live at four

to join the live chat and check it out. Buddy,
you made me think of that because she said tire
I raq and I'm thinking, look, you gotta put Lou
Brown on the list. Oh yeah, definitely Lou Brown. But
(01:57):
what a crazy story Gene Hackman, because for years so
many people thought he was dead already. I remember there
was a point in time where Gene Hackman was one
of those guys that was like, wait he died, right,
Oh wait, he's around, He's alive. And then he resurfaced
about a year ago. People were like, man, there he is.
(02:18):
I thought he died. No, he's alive. And then as
of today you woke up and you got the sad
news that Gene Hackman ninety five and his sixty four
year old wife were found in their Santa Fe home
dead with their dog. And at first there was no
foul play. They're dead carbon monoxide poisoning is what you heard.
(02:38):
But as of this afternoon, you're now hearing ooh, suspicious
details and that's odd, that's weird again. Ninety five year
old guy, he had a great life. But they did
find pills and the wife's body next to a personal
heater and weird things like that. And it's like, well,
what was going on there? And like partially bombed or something.
(03:01):
That's what our buddy Spot was reading to us earlier.
You're like, what we details are coming out as we go.
We may never know. The reality is that they're gone,
and what do we really need to find out? But
I did have a but it's an odd ending to
a long life, an illustrious career. It's like, you lived
to ninety five and have all that success.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, rich detectives aren't going to say, oh, we're never
we'll never know there.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
We'll be an investigation, I'm sure, But I feel like,
if you lived to ninety five, that's a hell of
a life and a successful life at it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So but his wife was so much younger.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, thirty years younger. So it's an unfortunate story. When
I heard the carbon monoxide thing, I thought, oh, maybe
Gene Heckman was feeling like it was coming to an
end health issues just because of old age. And maybe
the wife I was thinking I was romanticizing the whole thing, like,
and maybe the wife didn't want to live without him
and they decided to go out together.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, that wouldn't be fair to the dog, though, you
give the dog to family or friends.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
They did find two other dogs that were alive. But again,
in honor of Gene Hackman and his role in Hoosiers,
we're gonna go over the best coaches and sports in
TV and film. Get on over promised, and we're gonna
talk some nasty nester. Now it's some weird story though. Yeah, man,
(04:19):
I have a vain question to Hey, I guess lighten
it up a little bit. If you lived till ninety
five years old, first of all, you've won the lottery
of life, famous actor, made millions and lived to ninety
five two oscars. I mean, here's my question. Enemy of
the State, superman Lex Luthor. He was in the Royal
(04:42):
He also wasn't he in that movie where Jennifer Love
Hewitt was bouncing around in her twenties, you know what hearts?
She was so distracting. I don't remember seeing anything but
yeah with.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
A was a Sigourney Weaver or a Yeah, I think Heartbreakers.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Heart Breakers? Yeah, I didn't even notice he was in it.
Boying vain question, when you lived that long and they
pay tribute to your life at your wake, your funeral,
If you're a public figure like a Gene Hackman, do
you want your picture to be one of you when
you were a handsome young man, Because I'm seeing so
(05:15):
many pictures of the ninety five year old went on
a decrepit walk around the block a year ago picture
and I'm like, that's not how you want Gene Hackman. Remember,
you want him to be remembered as the bad ass
he was. Like Ia Sam said, Winning Oscars, Superman and
French Connection, depends how pop life you lived, meaning if
you died, let's say you die in your sixties. Unfortunately, right,
(05:39):
you've lived the majority of your life as a younger person,
So I would think it would be fair to pick
a picture in your thirties forties, when you're still relatively young.
But if you were synonymous with looking like an old
guy for a long time, you lived just as much
of your life as an old person, why would you
want to bring it back to your primo days of
your twenties. And Third, it's not who you were for
(06:01):
the latter part of your long ass line though. But
if you're Marlon Brando Brando, do you want to be
old fat guy in your pictures? You want to be
a street car named Desira Marlon Brando? Yeah, but we
we work in the entertainment industry, right, It's like the
people that still have their head shots from their twenties.
It's like, yo, dude, you haven't been looking like that
for the past twenty years. That's also like false advertising
(06:23):
in a weird way.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I'll tell you I think I don't think it's a
vain comment, Rich, I actually think it's a realistic comment.
And not to bring anything down, but unfortunately, my mother
in law passed away in twenty eighteen. My father in
law is still alive. And after that, after his wife's passing,
he wanted a headshot. He wanted like a photo of himself,
(06:45):
and so at some point, you know, like six months later,
or whatever. My wife ended up taking him for that
reason of he wanted, you know, a legitimate photo to
represent it. Yes, that representator who he was at that time,
and it was her that made him realize.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
That I should I should get this done. I don't
have this.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
We used a great picture of her from you know,
from a family situation, but it wasn't a posed studio
picture and he wanted that for when he went. So
it's a real like it's not a I don't think
it's vanity by any means. I think it's like a
realistic decision that you that's a really great story Dan.
You know, that's talking about thinking ahead man. And I
(07:25):
was gonna say this, but Dan already said it. Kind
of when they chose your mother in laws, they looked
for a good photo. I think the best answer here
is where do you look your happiest?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Right, So if you didn't do what Dan's father in
law did, then you just got to get that happiest
photo of the happiest time of your life, whether you
were older or younger. You know, it's an interesting question,
it really is, because Rich is right. If you look
through all the tmzs and all the stories that are
talking about Gene Hackman. It's not him as a young
man wearing an ascot as Lex Luthor. A lot of
(07:59):
it is his recent days when he was ninety four
years old walking around town. And it doesn't even look
like the guy you remember. I mean, quick think of
a sports figure that passed away over the last couple
of years. John Madden lived a nice life. I don't
expect Mutton chop on, you know, being carried off the
field John Madden. But I don't want the final days
(08:19):
John Madden. How about you know when he was in
his primo days in the booth with Pat Summer, all
and the world knew him in then maybe the nineteen nineties,
John Madden, How do you want to be remembered? Is
really I guess the question, and it's not your happiest
I don't know if. And again, unfortunately people die at
all different ages, Rich, I remember the one thing. John
Madden had a long career. We remember at different stages
(08:42):
of his life. So you want to pick one that's
somewhat recent, but it's not your dying days. I remember
seeing a story on the news, and please, I'm not
trying to make a light of this. I remember thinking,
this is terrible. There was a story about a younger
person who lost their life, and the news to us
to picture them with like a bunny ear filter from Instagram. No,
(09:04):
that's true. I remember that, and I remember being like,
the family said, this is the what what are we doing? Well,
unfortunately that's the world that we kind of live in now.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
If the family doesn't provide a photo, they have to
go hunting for one online. Right, that was the only
one they could find. Es actually, who knows, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Trying to find a picture of a young person without
a film Jane Johnson passed away, and I'm like, she
has a dog nose filter on what do we do?
Come on? I remember that because in the most respectful
way possible we laughed at not necessarily the announcement, but
the times that we're living in, Like, can you believe
that's the photo? They're using? A fortunate story and that's
what we put up. So you know, again, maybe it
(09:43):
isn't a vain thought. It's a real life thought, which is,
if you live in nice, long life, maybe it's a
picture of you, God willing you live to a nice
old age, a picture of you with your grandkids. Because
you're at your happiest, maybe you as a middle aged
man or woman, when you were in your prime of
working and everything. Okay, So to answer your question, right,
Gene Hackman ninety five, My point is, I'm done seeing
(10:04):
ninety four year old Gene Hackman photos. I think it's
a disrespect because he was the man. He was in
a lot of great stuff, and he lived a great life.
I don't think every press photo should be when he
was wearing a pair of a new balance taking a
walk for the first time, and again nineteen, you know,
at ninety four years old last year. Well, and I
also don't think it should be a picture of him
in his twenties or even thirties, because he lives a
(10:27):
long life. Your sixties. No, that's how we remember Gene
Hackney exactly. If you go back Royal Town and Baums
was filmed in two thousand and one, as twenty five
years ago, right, that would have made him seventies, seventies,
early seventies. That's kind of how I remember him in
the most department. So I think that's good. You got
to find a compromise there. Let me give you one more.
(10:48):
When the late great Betty White passed away. There were
too many pictures floating around of like her final days
and I'm like, no, no, that was criticized Golden Girls,
Betty White, hm always Sunnier, a different you know, Saturday
Night Live. Then yeah, like like I just thought it
was like in bad taste, like so her last living
photo was like no, like an unhealthy looking.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I'll tell you what you're Madden. I'm I'm now starting
to rethink you're maddened point.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Maybe it is being carried off with the money if that.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Is your high point of your profession and where you are, like,
that's a that's got to be a Mount Rushmore part
of his life outside of his children being born, but
probably the George Washington of the Mount Rushmore part of
his life. That wouldn't be a bad pick. Considering we've
seen John Madden throughout the years. So I think that
could be justified at that point. If Gene Hackman's picture
(11:37):
was him winning the Oscar, I don't think that's entirely
necessarily a bad thing if it is the top top
of your profession.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What did they use when Michael Jackson passed away? Did
they use like young Jackson five stuff? Probably not? Did
they use like I look a little odd in the
final days, Michael Jackson. But did they use it was
mostly the thriller. I mean they should have used the
thriller A he looked his best? Based on that to Tywood,
Dan said about Madden, maybe it is when were you
(12:06):
your happiest? If you're a regular person like all of us,
when were you at your personal best and happiest, or
if you're a celebrity, maybe it is what you were
in your problem. So then pick a picture of me
at about fourteen before women got in the picture, because
I feel like they took that's what you're at your best? Yeah,
made my life more of a hassle than it's been worth.
(12:27):
Just kidding, No, I'm not, Yes I am. But here's
Gene Hackman, Royal Tan and Boums like that's fair. He's older,
but he's not ninety five, so he's in his seventies,
like early seventies there early, but he still looks like
Gene Hackman and healthy and happy. So do you go
with your happiest where you looked your If you say rich,
that's when I looked my best, then I think it's
a vanity thing. That's where I was my best. I
(12:50):
think that's a fair assessment. Cool. Could I throw you
a little uh side tangent question as we say rest
in peace, Gene Hackman and family. Sure, we're gonna go
over the best fictional coaches on the Bonus Pod later,
but I want to go around the room and I
want everyone to dig deep inside and be honest and
(13:12):
admit one classic sports movie you've never seen, because I'm
man enough to admit it in this moment, I've never
seen Hoosiers and people deem that arguably the greatest sports
movie of all time. I've never seen a miracle people.
And there's a part of me that's like, yeah, I
don't know. Maybe my dad or family never watch it.
(13:32):
Eighty six so I was a little boy. You know,
I was in kindergarten in eighty six, So maybe he
wasn't in my wheelhouse. I mean, it's not an excuse,
though movies live on. You weren't even born when Rocky
came out. You've seen Rocky, That is true, But is
there a movie like Cavino has never seen The Mighty Ducks. Yeah,
I'm not embarrassed by that, but it's true. You should
(13:53):
be a little embarrassed. Why, dude, I just sports movie okay,
came out? You said, the last one came out in
ninety four, the first, the first one came out to
get into college ninety four. Gordon Kids in My Life,
Gordon Bombay, Yeah, nineteen ninety two. Mighty Ducks. Okay, junior high.
I'm all about playing junior high baseball, you know, trying
(14:15):
to go out with my girlfriend, trying to squeeze the
cheek here and there. You think I'm going to watch
The Mighty Ducks in the theaters. Honestly, it was just
it's a timing thing, that's all. I find that my
daughter showed zero interest in that movie as I became
a dad. If I ever have a little son one day,
maybe he wants to watch The Mighty Ducks, I'll check
it out. But I wouldn't put that even in the
(14:36):
same sentence as a Hoosiers not just belongs in a
movie with like in a sentence with the Miracle argue,
Mighty Duck argue. The Mighty Ducks is more popular than
who is just out of my face, dude, out of
here with you, I would say, how many classic sports
movie you'll admit? Yeah, you just somehow missed.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Yeah, I wrote a couple down actually the old the
original and the newer one, the newer version of Bad
News Bears. Never seen it, and I never seen Slapshot
with Paul Newman.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh I never see you. I'm Sam. That's a good
one because I think if you are in your thirties
or so, Slapshot might be a little old. That might
be like right on the threshold of math, like I've seen.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I love arts and movies from like the seventies. Wasn't
Slapshot like what late seventies early eighties singing with that?
So I go back and I watched it. Was I
just haven't seen it, and I love Paul Newman, And
like the Bad News Bears thing is like maybe you
were a kid at the time when you saw the
original or the new one with Billy Bob, and like
I just never got around to it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I lost my best would I never saw Brian's song
if we didn't watch it in school. I've heard I've
North Dallas forty some classics that you may have seen
your dad watching growing up. I've heard Colin Cowherd talk
about how that's the most emotional movie that can make
any man Cry, and we watch it in like a
film class in college day Ryan's song, and I remember
I remember getting emotional as well. Watched it in school.
(15:50):
But you know, a film from seventy two. I don't
know if I would have watched it on my own.
It didn't air on TV all that often. I don't
remember that, but yeah, I did watch it. For me,
it would be The Mighty Ducks. I guess if it's
as great as you say it is, I'm not saying
it's not good, and I'm not saying that kitty sports
movies can't be good. I love The Sandlot. I know,
(16:11):
Uh Richie are big angels in the Outfield Guy the Classic,
But I never saw it. Anything come to mind that
you missed man?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Never saw Rocky Well, yes, that's that's exactly right. Because
Sam can't just give one answer. He always has to
give like seven and al before anybody else's. So I
was gonna say, slapshaw, Well, nobody else has chimed in yet, Sam.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I mean, I don't take seven pieces of pizza from
an eight sliced pizza. There's a lot of sports one slice,
and if everybody goes around like I got two of
these two and then of course An Mighty Ducks.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And you haven't seen many sports movies. There a lot,
I know, but it's just the fact that you had.
You can't not help but name three movies.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Thanks, replacements, replacements with Jana Reeves.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Have not seen that, by the way, Gene Hackman in
that movie. Okay?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, And this sounded like a rapaport versus Schultz.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I was gonna say, you got I feel I don't
want part of that beef.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I wrote down one here, and I know it has
a cult following, but we weren't even in elementary school
when it came out.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I've never seen caddy Shack all the way through.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
We seen parts of it, you know, when it's rerun
on TV, But yeah, I've never sat down and watched
it from no.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I thought of Caddyshack the other day when Dan Byer
was talking about some of the things that we hated
at first but now we like. He said that he
hated when people played their music on the golf course.
That's right, it was never a thing, and now he
sort of likes it. It provides some sort of atmosphere.
You're having a good time, out there. Everyone has their
own little personal speaker going on. Part of the joke
(17:45):
was Rodney Dangerfield was so disruptive that he had like
a system in his golf bag. Yeah, and he's playing
his music and everyone's ted night and everybody hates him.
Oh that's so great, so ahead of his time. It
was ahead of its time. But like the joke wouldn't
even translate maybe to some people, like he's playing music,
so on.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Get a beer tap on his golf bags here, which
is legendary serious.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Poor caddy oh man. But Danny G wouldn't know because
he's never seen it. So you know what, as as
you know you have little kids now where a lot
of us are dads in the room, do you go
back to the well and Danny G, you're some co
is won At any point you get be like bad
News bear Son, Major League sand Lata, feel the dreams?
(18:28):
Or is that generation just not going to care?
Speaker 6 (18:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I think there's a handful of movies where we're like
got to share this. Like my step children they had
never seen Back to the Future, and so one night
I'm like, get the popcorn. You're watching Back to the Future,
and they loved it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
With some people consider it the perfect movie. Yeah, we
always say sports movies aside, we say it's the trifecta.
If you're a kid of the eighties, it's Goonies, Back
to the Future, and Karate Kid. Those are the three
that it would be hard to not try to pass
down to your children. You know what else gets left
out of that conversation though, e T I mean that's legendary.
(19:04):
It's just so sad sentimental. I think, like you don't
want to sit there and cry about an alien on
a random Thursday. But in honor and in tribute, we
will be talking about Gene Hackman and other fictional coaches
from movies and TVs tire World again on over promise.
But I think we all got to check out Hoosiers
(19:26):
if we haven't, And like you said, dB replacements because
Hackman's also in that one. But if you want to confess,
consider this. He is a y'all confession. Yeah, your confession.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
And on the heels of that, Sam put a tribute
up to Gene Hackman on them it's still up. I
put because I'm such a huge Hoosiers fan that we
went to the movie sites five years ago, me and
my wife in Indiana. I threw a video up on Twitter.
There's also one on TikTok that I put up a
couple of years ago of like what it was like.
I would explain it to you, but you've never seen
the movie. So so but Heredy Woozer's fan.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I want to check it out. Hey, feel free, Cavino.
You talk about it often. We're in that downtime now
where baseball hasn't started yet, NBA and NHL are getting
close to the playoffs, NFL offseason. Hey, maybe your job
this week or next week is to say, let me
pick a classic sports movie that I just missed along
the way, download it on your travels and watch it.
(20:20):
You know what I did, Richard, dedicate two hours of
your life to Hoosiers or Mighty Ducks or Slapshot or
you know.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You like that. It's like some good homework.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I will eventually watch the Mighty Ducks. I just haven't.
It's not like I'm not or I'm against it. I
just haven't. But you know what I had never seen
up until like Super Bowl. I don't know wherever we
were coming from and our travels. Recently, rich I was
on a plane and I was like I've seen parts
of it. Obviously, I know the quotable parts and I've
seen parts, but I'm not sure. I so the whole
(20:51):
thing I watched, remember the Titans on a plane. I
had never seen the whole thing. I don't think Wow, yeah, yeah,
you know that's top three for me. It really the
top three that's up there. Well, hey, I just watched
the full thing in its entirety within the past month,
so it's never too late, is my point. So if
you've never seen Hoosiers or any of these, you gotta
watch them. You know what I haven't seen now that
(21:13):
I think about the Rocky movies? Are you know such
an important part of my life? The Rocky and Creed
movies hit so home for me. Yeah. When people talk
about de Niro Raging Ball, Yeah, but those aren't sports movies.
It's the love story. You know that that Rocky is
a love story. But when people say, oh, yeah, de
Niro Raging Ball. For years, I'm like, yeah, yeah, you
gotta watch past. It's great.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Wasn't it you that told us the story of your
wife watching all the Rocky movies.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That's how I knew she was the one from you? Yeah,
my wife had never seen the Rocky movies, and I'm
gonna do the same to Dan Byer one day without
the romance. My wife was visiting me in New York
when we were just dating. I was like, Babe, I
gotta go to work all day. I'll be back. We'll
go for a nice dinner. She was like, all right.
I thought she was going to kill time shopping around
New York City doing her stuff. She had a Rocky marathon,
(21:59):
and I was like, hey, you trying to impress me
because I'm pretty turned on right now. Bro, if your
wife could bond with you on Rocky, you'll love Raging
Bull nineteen eighty. De Niro at his best, Scorsese, Joe
Pesci again, The Story of Jake Lamaa. You gotta check
that out. I think you'd really like it again. But
the reminder here, in honor of Gene Hackman Hoosier's legendary movie,
(22:21):
is to think about those movies home, do a little homework,
and which one didn't you watch? Check it out? Because
I think sports movies, especially, they're usually time pieces, right
about that specific time, that specific player. They never go
out of style, they're always somewhat great. Most of them
hold up no doubt. All right, Well that's Camino. I'm rich.
We love you guys hanging with us. Fox Sports Radio.
(22:42):
We got more. Next, we're gonna talk some NFL. We're
gonna talk old school. There's some stores that are closing
shop and one of them shocking to me. We'll get
to that. Plus Travis Kelsey in the news. So much
coming up right here on CNR. Now, whether you're teeing off,
heading into the officer, kicking back to watch the big game,
Travis Matthew has you covered versatile apparel designed to make
(23:03):
you look and feel your best. Where'd you get there, Jackett? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
You know many.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Compliments I got on this jacket, Dude, I wore a
Super Bowl week. I wore it there NFL Superstars. No joke.
Malcolm Butler specifically, I remember He's like, yo, man, would
you get that? I'm like, Travismatthew dot Com wore it today.
People say, yo, that jacket's stope. Travismatthew dot Com. The
other day you talked about how you can't go backwards
once you get that like stretchy pant material. Yeah, they
(23:28):
got great pants with a little give you could wear
on the golf course, you can wear casually, you go
on to date night. Travis Matthew brings it. They got
that shoe that's in between the sneaker and the Shlven
got those Kelvin from the odd couple is rocking those
the other day. The ultimate performance polo. If that's your look.
They got those three quarter zips. Anything you could possibly want,
and it's really quality stuff and you look sharp, you
(23:49):
look good and your lady will like it too. I
love the lightweight fabrics. And again it's not just about
golf stuff anymore, even though that's high quality and the best.
And I love those hats that we got. Yeah, I'm
on the golf course too, but it's about the everyday stuff.
As you can see again, I'm wearing like a it's
not even a jacket, it's like an overshirt. So they
have a.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Good sense of humor too. I'm wearing one of their
hats today. It says golf sucks.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh night.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's got a skeleton on the side with a golf club.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I love it. Look at that all right. If you
ready to elevate your every day just visit Travismatthew dot
com and you get twenty percent off your first order
if you use the website. Ah, remember the Titans? I remember?
You know what the problem is though, Rich A lot
(24:34):
of times, these movies mean so much to you as
a kid, and iowa Sam nailed it off the air.
You know, when you watch them as an adult, you're
much more critical and you're not in the nineties when
that movie came out. So I'm like, eh, it was
I liked it. I didn't love it, but I did
(24:54):
like it. It's a sports movie. I never hate them.
You know, it was good. You know what? This reminds
me of it. And by the way, if you want
to try. We were talking about some of those classic
sports movies you may have missed along the way Gene
Hackman dead at ninety five, and I admitted, I've never
seen Hoosiers. But I'm not the only one. I'm surprised
by that you've never seen Caddy Shack and Mighty Shot
(25:16):
Mighty until Remember the Titans.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I feel like Hoosiers. You need to immediately go watch that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm not against the dude, I will if not. If
I don't watch it tonight or tomorrow, it's on my
next free night. It's assignment viewing. By the way, is
it a good thing or is it tacky and cheap?
When you notice somebody dies or someone's in the news,
and all of a sudden, like you see the little
thumbnail for their movie on every streaming service you have.
(25:44):
It's convenient, but is it also like they're capitalizing off
the death or controversy of that person, combined with paying
tribute to the mom. I'm fifty to fifty on it. Yeah, no, exactly,
but you notice it, right, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I'm sure you're gonna see a Hoosier's thumbnail or at
Royal Tannin's bomb thumbnails somewhere in your streaming services. I
have a dumb thought that has to do with what
you just said about nineties movies. Yeah, well, let me
again preface though I had seen parts of Remember the Titans.
I was on a plane it was there.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I think that was from the year two thousand?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Was it two thousand and again, Mike, I liked it rich.
I'm sure I'd have liked it a lot more when
I when it first came out. You know, you have
to put yourself in that mindset. I guess we had
a theory the other day that it's so dumb. Why
not bring it to Fox Sports Radio. I can't be
the only one because Cavino felt the same way, and
(26:37):
I'm really curious what everyone else feels. When you were
a kid and your grandparents showed you photos and relics
from the twenties and thirties and forties, eh, this is
me in World War two or but it would bust
out their perforated photos, you know, with the little triangular
perforations on them. And they're always black and white, obviously,
(27:01):
And I knew that I lived in a time of
color photos, so I always associated they're past in black
and white, old movies black and white. So when my
grandparents would tell me a story, I pictured it in
black and white, and in my mind, I thought they
lived in black and white. Yeah, when now I would
imagine their stories, I would imagine them like in a
(27:24):
Humphrey Bogart sort of era and and sort of camera view.
So when did life become colorful? Grandpa? Oh, it always
has been, Grandpa. When did technicolor like kick into actual lights?
I'm not even bs And I thought my grandparents lived
in black and white.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
And I totally get it because now, but it's not,
You're not that far off because now when we see
old clips colorized, it's not like anybody's wearing neon green,
you know, like it's all just a subdued navy.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Black or brown or gray. So it's not it's not
that shocking.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
It is amazing to see those colorized like anywhere. Like
a World War One footage I saw. It was like
of the British soldiers colorized. It was unreal, like it
just brought a whole new life to it. It feels
like it can't be real.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
World War two footage colorized, it is crazy. Like I
saw footage of Babe Ruth colorized recently, so man, that
that's weird. A blink and anything. The city connect. So
I look at it and I say, you know, I
thought our grandparents lived in the black and white. And
I found out that Babe Ruth actually used mustard on
(28:29):
his hot dogs, not catchule. I always wondered sure because
it was yellow. So here here's our dumb covin on
Rich thought if we as little kids. I'm not saying
I think that now, but as a little kid, I
think I thought my grandparents lived in black and white. Yeah,
I thought in old timey times they lived in black
and white again when when I was a really little kid,
Pleasantville style based on theory, based on that theory. The
(28:53):
other night, I'm on YouTube because my kids was to
watch all junk on YouTube, but I was signed in
under my name, and the best thing I had watched
was highlights of the twenty twenty four Mets, like all
the Lindor and Alonzo home runs, and my kids, who
are getting ready for t ball and softball, they're like, Dad,
what's that? I go, you want to see a couple
of home runs from the Mets last year. And then
(29:14):
it gets into the show US, Dad, Show US, Show US,
and I'm like, hey, buddy, can you name three Mets?
And I'm so proud of my son's like Thoto, Lindhorr
and Paular may Repete. I'm watching them watch highlights and
then my daughter does the whole you think the Mets
will ever win the championship as she calls it, because Dad,
(29:34):
didn't they win when you were my age? And that
was the last time I go, yeah, buddy, it was,
She goes is that on TV? I showed them a
two minute clip of you know gets by Buckner and
Mookie Wilson eighty six. All my kids kept saying was,
were things blurry when you were a kid. So do
our kids the same way we thought our grandparents lived
(29:57):
in the black and white? Do our kids think we
in the blurry? They do? They do? And if so
many reasons that even clips from the nineties, mostly the nineties,
there's reasons that they're extra blurry when you see them
now because they weren't formatted for today's type of monitor
and screen. There was SD. Yeah, they're right, and so
(30:18):
you'll see a clip you know, damn well, it wasn't
that blurry, but it was on video, right, and now
it's digital. When it transferred, it just looks like crap.
So if a kid is looking at a highlight from
the ninety six World Series, I got to break about
my Yankees here, it looks like something from the nineteen sixties.
It looks pathetic, It looks pathetically blurry. So, based on
(30:39):
our theory of we imagine our grandpapy living in the
black and white, our kids think we lived in the blurry,
and they're not necessarily wrong because if you watch some
of those videos, they're all blurry. Dude, Honestly, like any
any highlight you will watch or pull up on YouTube
from the eighties. The way it's formatted, the way it's
you know, captured George bred getting mad about the cork bat.
(31:02):
That looks like I would. I can understand where you're
five year old or six year old kid would be
like dad or things blurry. When you were a kid.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Two thousand and two, NFL Action two thousand and one,
you'd be amazed on how bad it looks and it
feels like.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
It was just the graphics packages. Everything about it looks like, man,
how old is this video? And it's not that old
twenty years old. Dan Byer and I take a lot
of pride in being nerdy about is the lower thirds
and the graphics packages. When you were a kid, you
didn't realize that was never up during the game. If
you watch an old NFL film from the eighties or nineties,
(31:38):
they only showed the score and the quarter and how
much time and third down, second down, going in and
out of commercials. I guess they thought it was not
a good idea to show it. Like if you watch
an old Monday night football game when it was Alan,
Dan and Frank, there was no permanent lower third.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
You know, I'm sure there's some guy tunes in in
the second or third quarter and watches fifteen minutes of
the game so you can get the rating. Not to
realize he's watching a forty one to nine game. Maybe,
Like that's the reason why where all of a sudden,
Now if you turn it on, you're like, that game's
a blot.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I'm just gonna turn it away. That the theory might
have been, if you see the score, you're not gonna
stick around. Sure, Yeah, who knows. There's also a difference
in the quality of NFL films because it could be
a game from you know, the two thousands, and it
looks like something from the sixties because it's on film.
That's always misleading.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, it just looks flat.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It looks flat because it's on actual film. But when
you see that old video of old baseball games again,
it wasn't he that long ago and it looks so old.
Hence kids think we lived in the blurry era of life. Yeah, good,
that's true, especially with their HD. I's good luck getting
another show on this network or any network to have
the revelation if we lived in the pluck.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You really have to go to that footage. If you
want to do like a documentary on it, you have
to clean it up. It takes a lot of post
production editing or not editing, but like you have to
like sharp sharpening things up. You have to really do
a lot of work on it. It's like almost like
restoring an old car.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, does it creep you out? Guys? When you see
with a which with AI they could probably do it easily.
Does it creep you out when you see how now
they could bring old photos to life? Is that weird
to you? Like they'll take like an old timey times
photo and they could sort of animate it, make it
like a gift almost.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I just don't like the way the eyes look.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's so weird when they get a video. I know
it's stupid, but did you see the video of Donald
Trump sucking Elon Musk's toes.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I did see that.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's so disturbing. But because it looks so real that exactly,
you know, I'm sure there's old people happened that believed it.
My mom probably thinks it's real. Ritchie I saw it
on Facebook. Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.
What's going on there? Guys?
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Have you guys seen any of the old clips when
they change from black and white to color TV where
stations actually did it, where they're like, we are not
going to transition into a color modent.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
How about when Dorothy goes from Kansas to munchkin Land.
While I watched The Wizard OZ recently with my kids
and they were so bored in the beginning, and I
had to be like, kids, I promise you, it's gonna
get better.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, and you're gonna hate what you're about to see.
Chief said in Travis Kelsey confirmed to play in twenty
twenty five, doing so in text messages to Pat McAfee
of The Pat McAfee Show. Chiefs, by the way, place
the franchise tag on guard Tray Smith. Former Buccaneers head
coach John Gruden will be reinstated into the team's ring
of honor. He was removed in twenty twenty one, but
we'll be back up in twenty twenty five. Heisman Trophy
(34:30):
winner Travis Hunter not working out in Indianapolis now. If
you remember, he was designated as a defensive back at
the combine. He interviewed today with reporters and when asked
about what teams he spoke with, Hunter just said next
question would not reveal who he had spoken to. Jake
napshot fifty nine on the PGA Tour in the first
round on the Cognizant Classic, twelve birdies and no bogees
(34:52):
for the fifteenth sub sixty round in PGA Tour history.
Jordan Speith is six back at six under Oriole. Shortstop
Gunner Henderson left today's grape Fruit League game against the
Blue Jays with discomfort on his lower right side left
after just one inning. Finally, Spurs head coach Greg Popovich
says he will not return to coaching this season following
this mild stroke. He's focusing on his health and hopes
(35:12):
to coach again in the future. Guys, back to you,
Thank you dB. Now again to wrap up our random thought.
If we thought our Grandpapy grew up in the black
and white because all the old stuff lived in black
and white, do our kids think we lived in the
blurry because all of our pictures and all of our
footage is blurry. If I told you picture Abe Lincoln
(35:33):
doing a speech, honestly, are you picturing it in like
a black and white?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Absolutely? I'm not picturing him in color. I have no idea.
So anyway, we talk Travis Kelcey and we do some
old school and fifty hits. We have lots to get to.
On the Cavino and Rich show, Rest in Peace Gene
Hackman ninety five. Now they're saying suspicious and the details
(35:57):
that are coming out are suspicious, and of course Rest
in Peace's wife and his dog. We're gonna pay tribute
on Over Promised, our bonus show, so tune into that.
Plus we're gonna talk Nasty Nestor getting a lot of
criticism for saying that he thinks the Yankees, and he
speaks on behalf of all the Yankees from last year.
He thinks the Yankees were the better team even though
(36:20):
they lost to a Dodger. It's so silly. I'm gonna
try to make I'll do my best to make sense
of what I think he was getting that on over Promise.
You could say that about any competition in the world
that doesn't even need to be the World Series. I
think we're the better team. But if you didn't win,
were you really the better team? No, but I understand
what he means. I'll explain again. Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
(36:41):
We go live at four pm out here on the
West seven PM on the East over promised our bonus pod.
You could listen, but check it out watch it on YouTube.
Dan Bayer, thank you for texting me this clip. We
gotta plus this at Covin on rich The exact moment
when news stations switch from black and white to color
TV April fourteenth, nineteen sixty seven. Did you see this ever?
(37:02):
There was like a moment like the we're gonna flip this.
It was a live moment. Yeah, I like, it's black
and white, looks right here, and then all of a sudden,
the guy sits down at the desk and all of
a sudden like and flip the switch. It's a little
staticky for a second and boom. I don't think I've
ever seen that. I've never seen this either at I
(37:23):
got it happened when Dorothy opened the door. That's what
I thought. Wow, that's amazing. Well, look at the time
fifty after when Old School hits, there's a surgeon y.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
What we gonna do is go back back into town
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.
That's fifty after. Cn R give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Now, next hour we will talk to NFL and Travis Kelcey.
He's made an announcement. We'll get to that. But every
Thursday we throw throw it back and we reminisce nostalgia
a big part of our lives. We get you involved
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Everything at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now, if you're
(38:13):
on social media like most of us are, or you
just see the news from time to time, you may
have seen that Hooters filed for bankruptcy? What Hooters? What
to me? If you would have said what business plan
might never fail? I would have to say, I don't know.
Hot women in wings? Yeah, that'd probably be around forever.
(38:34):
That can fail? How does that go out of style?
Which shows you America's changing? And man, wow, that's a surprise.
Are we too good for delightfully tacking? Now? What's wrong
with us? And then for the crafty folks out there
Al Bundy's disappointed, or for the women that love to
you know, do their little crafty stuff at home. Joe ANNs,
(38:55):
how many times have you stopped at joe An's with
your mom or your girlfriend or you're fee bad about this,
but at least I'll stop getting their junk mail every
other day. It's like, Geez, I bought some yarn there
five years ago and I still get emails from them. Yeah,
Joeannes texted me every day. I'm sad anytime I hear
this stuff. And if you have kids in school especially,
(39:15):
they're always asking you to take them to Joannes or
Michaels because they need things for craps at school and
projects and things like that. All that time you made
a diorama, Dude, I'm at Joann's actually a lot, because
my daughter's always doing stuff for her projects. Start with
the shoe box, but again, Hooters Joeann's. Just recently, I'm
from New Jersey. My family was all upset because they're
(39:37):
closing down one of the last locations of Rainforest Cafe
and Hersy, their famous Menlo Park location. Now there's only
one left. Remember they always in Atlantic City you walked
to the I guess you would say the lobby area
and they'd be like that the jungle.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Stre holding on by string used to go to the
one in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, there's like one or two here and there. But
based on these thoughts and all these news alerts. What
are some places that don't exist anymore that we just miss,
did we really miss? And wish we could bring them back?
I wish we could share those moments with our kids.
The Hooters one home hits home for me because my wife,
when she was in college worked at Hooters. In fact,
(40:15):
sort of how I met my wife because she ended
up she was miss Hooters in like oh eight and
we met her through the radio show. That's right, Jack
Richar's wife was Miss Hooters International. My girlfriend is the
stock photo that she also worked at Hooters. My girlfriend,
believe it or not, and they're using her photo as
the like, hey, we're falling for bankruptcy Hooters, and like
(40:36):
she's the one that's all over the news. Alrit So,
I mean, think about it. How many times were you
watching a game having some wings? Hooters is America? This
is shocking. Joanne's every school project or your kids shocking.
What are the ones that sort of bummed you out
when they closed down? It could be electronics stores, it
could be record stores, it could be anything. There's there's
(40:59):
old school region shops that.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Toy stores are a big toy stores.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So we'll get to all of it next, throwing it
back on a Thursday. Those stores you miss from back
in the day will do it next. Could be known

video show that streams live on the Fox Sports Radio
YouTube channel. Over promised and based on what we got
going on today. I'll tell you one thing we'll definitely
get to get to in honor, in honor of a
man that passed away, yes straight, at the age of
ninety five, Gene Hackman, in honor of his role in Hoosiers,
(01:35):
we'll go over some of the best coaches and movies
and TV on over promised again our bonus show on
Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. It'll go live at four
and two hours two hours from now, if you want
to join the live chat and check it out. Buddy,
you made me think of that because she said tire
I raq and I'm thinking, look, you gotta put Lou
Brown on the list. Oh yeah, definitely Lou Brown. But
(01:57):
what a crazy story Gene Hackman, because for years so
many people thought he was dead already. I remember there
was a point in time where Gene Hackman was one
of those guys that was like, wait he died, right,
Oh wait, he's around, He's alive. And then he resurfaced
about a year ago. People were like, man, there he is.
(02:18):
I thought he died. No, he's alive. And then as
of today you woke up and you got the sad
news that Gene Hackman ninety five and his sixty four
year old wife were found in their Santa Fe home
dead with their dog. And at first there was no
foul play. They're dead carbon monoxide poisoning is what you heard.
(02:38):
But as of this afternoon, you're now hearing ooh, suspicious
details and that's odd, that's weird again. Ninety five year
old guy, he had a great life. But they did
find pills and the wife's body next to a personal
heater and weird things like that. And it's like, well,
what was going on there? And like partially bombed or something.
(03:01):
That's what our buddy Spot was reading to us earlier.
You're like, what we details are coming out as we go.
We may never know. The reality is that they're gone,
and what do we really need to find out? But
I did have a but it's an odd ending to
a long life, an illustrious career. It's like, you lived
to ninety five and have all that success.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, rich detectives aren't going to say, oh, we're never
we'll never know there.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
We'll be an investigation, I'm sure, But I feel like,
if you lived to ninety five, that's a hell of
a life and a successful life at it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So but his wife was so much younger.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, thirty years younger. So it's an unfortunate story. When
I heard the carbon monoxide thing, I thought, oh, maybe
Gene Heckman was feeling like it was coming to an
end health issues just because of old age. And maybe
the wife I was thinking I was romanticizing the whole thing, like,
and maybe the wife didn't want to live without him
and they decided to go out together.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, that wouldn't be fair to the dog, though, you
give the dog to family or friends.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
They did find two other dogs that were alive. But again,
in honor of Gene Hackman and his role in Hoosiers,
we're gonna go over the best coaches and sports in
TV and film. Get on over promised, and we're gonna
talk some nasty nester. Now it's some weird story though. Yeah, man,
(04:19):
I have a vain question to Hey, I guess lighten
it up a little bit. If you lived till ninety
five years old, first of all, you've won the lottery
of life, famous actor, made millions and lived to ninety
five two oscars. I mean, here's my question. Enemy of
the State, superman Lex Luthor. He was in the Royal
(04:42):
He also wasn't he in that movie where Jennifer Love
Hewitt was bouncing around in her twenties, you know what hearts?
She was so distracting. I don't remember seeing anything but
yeah with.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
A was a Sigourney Weaver or a Yeah, I think Heartbreakers.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Heart Breakers? Yeah, I didn't even notice he was in it.
Boying vain question, when you lived that long and they
pay tribute to your life at your wake, your funeral,
If you're a public figure like a Gene Hackman, do
you want your picture to be one of you when
you were a handsome young man, Because I'm seeing so
(05:15):
many pictures of the ninety five year old went on
a decrepit walk around the block a year ago picture
and I'm like, that's not how you want Gene Hackman. Remember,
you want him to be remembered as the bad ass
he was. Like Ia Sam said, Winning Oscars, Superman and
French Connection, depends how pop life you lived, meaning if
you died, let's say you die in your sixties. Unfortunately, right,
(05:39):
you've lived the majority of your life as a younger person,
So I would think it would be fair to pick
a picture in your thirties forties, when you're still relatively young.
But if you were synonymous with looking like an old
guy for a long time, you lived just as much
of your life as an old person, why would you
want to bring it back to your primo days of
your twenties. And Third, it's not who you were for
(06:01):
the latter part of your long ass line though. But
if you're Marlon Brando Brando, do you want to be
old fat guy in your pictures? You want to be
a street car named Desira Marlon Brando? Yeah, but we
we work in the entertainment industry, right, It's like the
people that still have their head shots from their twenties.
It's like, yo, dude, you haven't been looking like that
for the past twenty years. That's also like false advertising
(06:23):
in a weird way.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I'll tell you I think I don't think it's a
vain comment, Rich, I actually think it's a realistic comment.
And not to bring anything down, but unfortunately, my mother
in law passed away in twenty eighteen. My father in
law is still alive. And after that, after his wife's passing,
he wanted a headshot. He wanted like a photo of himself,
(06:45):
and so at some point, you know, like six months later,
or whatever. My wife ended up taking him for that
reason of he wanted, you know, a legitimate photo to
represent it. Yes, that representator who he was at that time,
and it was her that made him realize.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
That I should I should get this done. I don't
have this.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
We used a great picture of her from you know,
from a family situation, but it wasn't a posed studio
picture and he wanted that for when he went. So
it's a real like it's not a I don't think
it's vanity by any means. I think it's like a
realistic decision that you that's a really great story Dan.
You know, that's talking about thinking ahead man. And I
(07:25):
was gonna say this, but Dan already said it. Kind
of when they chose your mother in laws, they looked
for a good photo. I think the best answer here
is where do you look your happiest?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Right, So if you didn't do what Dan's father in
law did, then you just got to get that happiest
photo of the happiest time of your life, whether you
were older or younger. You know, it's an interesting question,
it really is, because Rich is right. If you look
through all the tmzs and all the stories that are
talking about Gene Hackman. It's not him as a young
man wearing an ascot as Lex Luthor. A lot of
(07:59):
it is his recent days when he was ninety four
years old walking around town. And it doesn't even look
like the guy you remember. I mean, quick think of
a sports figure that passed away over the last couple
of years. John Madden lived a nice life. I don't
expect Mutton chop on, you know, being carried off the
field John Madden. But I don't want the final days
(08:19):
John Madden. How about you know when he was in
his primo days in the booth with Pat Summer, all
and the world knew him in then maybe the nineteen nineties,
John Madden, How do you want to be remembered? Is
really I guess the question, and it's not your happiest
I don't know if. And again, unfortunately people die at
all different ages, Rich, I remember the one thing. John
Madden had a long career. We remember at different stages
(08:42):
of his life. So you want to pick one that's
somewhat recent, but it's not your dying days. I remember
seeing a story on the news, and please, I'm not
trying to make a light of this. I remember thinking,
this is terrible. There was a story about a younger
person who lost their life, and the news to us
to picture them with like a bunny ear filter from Instagram. No,
(09:04):
that's true. I remember that, and I remember being like,
the family said, this is the what what are we doing? Well,
unfortunately that's the world that we kind of live in now.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
If the family doesn't provide a photo, they have to
go hunting for one online. Right, that was the only
one they could find. Es actually, who knows, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Trying to find a picture of a young person without
a film Jane Johnson passed away, and I'm like, she
has a dog nose filter on what do we do?
Come on? I remember that because in the most respectful
way possible we laughed at not necessarily the announcement, but
the times that we're living in, Like, can you believe
that's the photo? They're using? A fortunate story and that's
what we put up. So you know, again, maybe it
(09:43):
isn't a vain thought. It's a real life thought, which is,
if you live in nice, long life, maybe it's a
picture of you, God willing you live to a nice
old age, a picture of you with your grandkids. Because
you're at your happiest, maybe you as a middle aged
man or woman, when you were in your prime of
working and everything. Okay, So to answer your question, right,
Gene Hackman ninety five, My point is, I'm done seeing
(10:04):
ninety four year old Gene Hackman photos. I think it's
a disrespect because he was the man. He was in
a lot of great stuff, and he lived a great life.
I don't think every press photo should be when he
was wearing a pair of a new balance taking a
walk for the first time, and again nineteen, you know,
at ninety four years old last year. Well, and I
also don't think it should be a picture of him
in his twenties or even thirties, because he lives a
(10:27):
long life. Your sixties. No, that's how we remember Gene
Hackney exactly. If you go back Royal Town and Baums
was filmed in two thousand and one, as twenty five
years ago, right, that would have made him seventies, seventies,
early seventies. That's kind of how I remember him in
the most department. So I think that's good. You got
to find a compromise there. Let me give you one more.
(10:48):
When the late great Betty White passed away. There were
too many pictures floating around of like her final days
and I'm like, no, no, that was criticized Golden Girls,
Betty White, hm always Sunnier, a different you know, Saturday
Night Live. Then yeah, like like I just thought it
was like in bad taste, like so her last living
photo was like no, like an unhealthy looking.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I'll tell you what you're Madden. I'm I'm now starting
to rethink you're maddened point.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Maybe it is being carried off with the money if that.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Is your high point of your profession and where you are, like,
that's a that's got to be a Mount Rushmore part
of his life outside of his children being born, but
probably the George Washington of the Mount Rushmore part of
his life. That wouldn't be a bad pick. Considering we've
seen John Madden throughout the years. So I think that
could be justified at that point. If Gene Hackman's picture
(11:37):
was him winning the Oscar, I don't think that's entirely
necessarily a bad thing if it is the top top
of your profession.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What did they use when Michael Jackson passed away? Did
they use like young Jackson five stuff? Probably not? Did
they use like I look a little odd in the
final days, Michael Jackson. But did they use it was
mostly the thriller. I mean they should have used the
thriller A he looked his best? Based on that to Tywood,
Dan said about Madden, maybe it is when were you
(12:06):
your happiest? If you're a regular person like all of us,
when were you at your personal best and happiest, or
if you're a celebrity, maybe it is what you were
in your problem. So then pick a picture of me
at about fourteen before women got in the picture, because
I feel like they took that's what you're at your best? Yeah,
made my life more of a hassle than it's been worth.
(12:27):
Just kidding, No, I'm not, Yes I am. But here's
Gene Hackman, Royal Tan and Boums like that's fair. He's older,
but he's not ninety five, so he's in his seventies,
like early seventies there early, but he still looks like
Gene Hackman and healthy and happy. So do you go
with your happiest where you looked your If you say rich,
that's when I looked my best, then I think it's
a vanity thing. That's where I was my best. I
(12:50):
think that's a fair assessment. Cool. Could I throw you
a little uh side tangent question as we say rest
in peace, Gene Hackman and family. Sure, we're gonna go
over the best fictional coaches on the Bonus Pod later,
but I want to go around the room and I
want everyone to dig deep inside and be honest and
(13:12):
admit one classic sports movie you've never seen, because I'm
man enough to admit it in this moment, I've never
seen Hoosiers and people deem that arguably the greatest sports
movie of all time. I've never seen a miracle people.
And there's a part of me that's like, yeah, I
don't know. Maybe my dad or family never watch it.
(13:32):
Eighty six so I was a little boy. You know,
I was in kindergarten in eighty six, So maybe he
wasn't in my wheelhouse. I mean, it's not an excuse,
though movies live on. You weren't even born when Rocky
came out. You've seen Rocky, That is true, But is
there a movie like Cavino has never seen The Mighty Ducks. Yeah,
I'm not embarrassed by that, but it's true. You should
(13:53):
be a little embarrassed. Why, dude, I just sports movie okay,
came out? You said, the last one came out in
ninety four, the first, the first one came out to
get into college ninety four. Gordon Kids in My Life,
Gordon Bombay, Yeah, nineteen ninety two. Mighty Ducks. Okay, junior high.
I'm all about playing junior high baseball, you know, trying
(14:15):
to go out with my girlfriend, trying to squeeze the
cheek here and there. You think I'm going to watch
The Mighty Ducks in the theaters. Honestly, it was just
it's a timing thing, that's all. I find that my
daughter showed zero interest in that movie as I became
a dad. If I ever have a little son one day,
maybe he wants to watch The Mighty Ducks, I'll check
it out. But I wouldn't put that even in the
(14:36):
same sentence as a Hoosiers not just belongs in a
movie with like in a sentence with the Miracle argue,
Mighty Duck argue. The Mighty Ducks is more popular than
who is just out of my face, dude, out of
here with you, I would say, how many classic sports
movie you'll admit? Yeah, you just somehow missed.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Yeah, I wrote a couple down actually the old the
original and the newer one, the newer version of Bad
News Bears. Never seen it, and I never seen Slapshot
with Paul Newman.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh I never see you. I'm Sam. That's a good
one because I think if you are in your thirties
or so, Slapshot might be a little old. That might
be like right on the threshold of math, like I've seen.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I love arts and movies from like the seventies. Wasn't
Slapshot like what late seventies early eighties singing with that?
So I go back and I watched it. Was I
just haven't seen it, and I love Paul Newman, And
like the Bad News Bears thing is like maybe you
were a kid at the time when you saw the
original or the new one with Billy Bob, and like
I just never got around to it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I lost my best would I never saw Brian's song
if we didn't watch it in school. I've heard I've
North Dallas forty some classics that you may have seen
your dad watching growing up. I've heard Colin Cowherd talk
about how that's the most emotional movie that can make
any man Cry, and we watch it in like a
film class in college day Ryan's song, and I remember
I remember getting emotional as well. Watched it in school.
(15:50):
But you know, a film from seventy two. I don't
know if I would have watched it on my own.
It didn't air on TV all that often. I don't
remember that, but yeah, I did watch it. For me,
it would be The Mighty Ducks. I guess if it's
as great as you say it is, I'm not saying
it's not good, and I'm not saying that kitty sports
movies can't be good. I love The Sandlot. I know,
(16:11):
Uh Richie are big angels in the Outfield Guy the Classic,
But I never saw it. Anything come to mind that
you missed man?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Never saw Rocky Well, yes, that's that's exactly right. Because
Sam can't just give one answer. He always has to
give like seven and al before anybody else's. So I
was gonna say, slapshaw, Well, nobody else has chimed in yet, Sam.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I mean, I don't take seven pieces of pizza from
an eight sliced pizza. There's a lot of sports one slice,
and if everybody goes around like I got two of
these two and then of course An Mighty Ducks.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And you haven't seen many sports movies. There a lot,
I know, but it's just the fact that you had.
You can't not help but name three movies.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Thanks, replacements, replacements with Jana Reeves.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Have not seen that, by the way, Gene Hackman in
that movie. Okay?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, And this sounded like a rapaport versus Schultz.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I was gonna say, you got I feel I don't
want part of that beef.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I wrote down one here, and I know it has
a cult following, but we weren't even in elementary school
when it came out.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I've never seen caddy Shack all the way through.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
We seen parts of it, you know, when it's rerun
on TV, But yeah, I've never sat down and watched
it from no.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I thought of Caddyshack the other day when Dan Byer
was talking about some of the things that we hated
at first but now we like. He said that he
hated when people played their music on the golf course.
That's right, it was never a thing, and now he
sort of likes it. It provides some sort of atmosphere.
You're having a good time, out there. Everyone has their
own little personal speaker going on. Part of the joke
(17:45):
was Rodney Dangerfield was so disruptive that he had like
a system in his golf bag. Yeah, and he's playing
his music and everyone's ted night and everybody hates him.
Oh that's so great, so ahead of his time. It
was ahead of its time. But like the joke wouldn't
even translate maybe to some people, like he's playing music,
so on.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Get a beer tap on his golf bags here, which
is legendary serious.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Poor caddy oh man. But Danny G wouldn't know because
he's never seen it. So you know what, as as
you know you have little kids now where a lot
of us are dads in the room, do you go
back to the well and Danny G, you're some co
is won At any point you get be like bad
News bear Son, Major League sand Lata, feel the dreams?
(18:28):
Or is that generation just not going to care?
Speaker 6 (18:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I think there's a handful of movies where we're like
got to share this. Like my step children they had
never seen Back to the Future, and so one night
I'm like, get the popcorn. You're watching Back to the Future,
and they loved it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
With some people consider it the perfect movie. Yeah, we
always say sports movies aside, we say it's the trifecta.
If you're a kid of the eighties, it's Goonies, Back
to the Future, and Karate Kid. Those are the three
that it would be hard to not try to pass
down to your children. You know what else gets left
out of that conversation though, e T I mean that's legendary.
(19:04):
It's just so sad sentimental. I think, like you don't
want to sit there and cry about an alien on
a random Thursday. But in honor and in tribute, we
will be talking about Gene Hackman and other fictional coaches
from movies and TVs tire World again on over promise.
But I think we all got to check out Hoosiers
(19:26):
if we haven't, And like you said, dB replacements because
Hackman's also in that one. But if you want to confess,
consider this. He is a y'all confession. Yeah, your confession.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
And on the heels of that, Sam put a tribute
up to Gene Hackman on them it's still up. I
put because I'm such a huge Hoosiers fan that we
went to the movie sites five years ago, me and
my wife in Indiana. I threw a video up on Twitter.
There's also one on TikTok that I put up a
couple of years ago of like what it was like.
I would explain it to you, but you've never seen
the movie. So so but Heredy Woozer's fan.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I want to check it out. Hey, feel free, Cavino.
You talk about it often. We're in that downtime now
where baseball hasn't started yet, NBA and NHL are getting
close to the playoffs, NFL offseason. Hey, maybe your job
this week or next week is to say, let me
pick a classic sports movie that I just missed along
the way, download it on your travels and watch it.
(20:20):
You know what I did, Richard, dedicate two hours of
your life to Hoosiers or Mighty Ducks or Slapshot or
you know.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You like that. It's like some good homework.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I will eventually watch the Mighty Ducks. I just haven't.
It's not like I'm not or I'm against it. I
just haven't. But you know what I had never seen
up until like Super Bowl. I don't know wherever we
were coming from and our travels. Recently, rich I was
on a plane and I was like I've seen parts
of it. Obviously, I know the quotable parts and I've
seen parts, but I'm not sure. I so the whole
(20:51):
thing I watched, remember the Titans on a plane. I
had never seen the whole thing. I don't think Wow, yeah, yeah,
you know that's top three for me. It really the
top three that's up there. Well, hey, I just watched
the full thing in its entirety within the past month,
so it's never too late, is my point. So if
you've never seen Hoosiers or any of these, you gotta
watch them. You know what I haven't seen now that
(21:13):
I think about the Rocky movies? Are you know such
an important part of my life? The Rocky and Creed
movies hit so home for me. Yeah. When people talk
about de Niro Raging Ball, Yeah, but those aren't sports movies.
It's the love story. You know that that Rocky is
a love story. But when people say, oh, yeah, de
Niro Raging Ball. For years, I'm like, yeah, yeah, you
gotta watch past. It's great.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Wasn't it you that told us the story of your
wife watching all the Rocky movies.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That's how I knew she was the one from you? Yeah,
my wife had never seen the Rocky movies, and I'm
gonna do the same to Dan Byer one day without
the romance. My wife was visiting me in New York
when we were just dating. I was like, Babe, I
gotta go to work all day. I'll be back. We'll
go for a nice dinner. She was like, all right.
I thought she was going to kill time shopping around
New York City doing her stuff. She had a Rocky marathon,
(21:59):
and I was like, hey, you trying to impress me
because I'm pretty turned on right now. Bro, if your
wife could bond with you on Rocky, you'll love Raging
Bull nineteen eighty. De Niro at his best, Scorsese, Joe
Pesci again, The Story of Jake Lamaa. You gotta check
that out. I think you'd really like it again. But
the reminder here, in honor of Gene Hackman Hoosier's legendary movie,
(22:21):
is to think about those movies home, do a little homework,
and which one didn't you watch? Check it out? Because
I think sports movies, especially, they're usually time pieces, right
about that specific time, that specific player. They never go
out of style, they're always somewhat great. Most of them
hold up no doubt. All right, Well that's Camino. I'm rich.
We love you guys hanging with us. Fox Sports Radio.
(22:42):
We got more. Next, we're gonna talk some NFL. We're
gonna talk old school. There's some stores that are closing
shop and one of them shocking to me. We'll get
to that. Plus Travis Kelsey in the news. So much
coming up right here on CNR. Now, whether you're teeing off,
heading into the officer, kicking back to watch the big game,
Travis Matthew has you covered versatile apparel designed to make
(23:03):
you look and feel your best. Where'd you get there, Jackett? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
You know many.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Compliments I got on this jacket, Dude, I wore a
Super Bowl week. I wore it there NFL Superstars. No joke.
Malcolm Butler specifically, I remember He's like, yo, man, would
you get that? I'm like, Travismatthew dot Com wore it today.
People say, yo, that jacket's stope. Travismatthew dot Com. The
other day you talked about how you can't go backwards
once you get that like stretchy pant material. Yeah, they
(23:28):
got great pants with a little give you could wear
on the golf course, you can wear casually, you go
on to date night. Travis Matthew brings it. They got
that shoe that's in between the sneaker and the Shlven
got those Kelvin from the odd couple is rocking those
the other day. The ultimate performance polo. If that's your look.
They got those three quarter zips. Anything you could possibly want,
and it's really quality stuff and you look sharp, you
(23:49):
look good and your lady will like it too. I
love the lightweight fabrics. And again it's not just about
golf stuff anymore, even though that's high quality and the best.
And I love those hats that we got. Yeah, I'm
on the golf course too, but it's about the everyday stuff.
As you can see again, I'm wearing like a it's
not even a jacket, it's like an overshirt. So they
have a.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Good sense of humor too. I'm wearing one of their
hats today. It says golf sucks.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh night.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's got a skeleton on the side with a golf club.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I love it. Look at that all right. If you
ready to elevate your every day just visit Travismatthew dot
com and you get twenty percent off your first order
if you use the website. Ah, remember the Titans? I remember?
You know what the problem is though, Rich A lot
(24:34):
of times, these movies mean so much to you as
a kid, and iowa Sam nailed it off the air.
You know, when you watch them as an adult, you're
much more critical and you're not in the nineties when
that movie came out. So I'm like, eh, it was
I liked it. I didn't love it, but I did
(24:54):
like it. It's a sports movie. I never hate them.
You know, it was good. You know what? This reminds
me of it. And by the way, if you want
to try. We were talking about some of those classic
sports movies you may have missed along the way Gene
Hackman dead at ninety five, and I admitted, I've never
seen Hoosiers. But I'm not the only one. I'm surprised
by that you've never seen Caddy Shack and Mighty Shot
(25:16):
Mighty until Remember the Titans.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I feel like Hoosiers. You need to immediately go watch that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm not against the dude, I will if not. If
I don't watch it tonight or tomorrow, it's on my
next free night. It's assignment viewing. By the way, is
it a good thing or is it tacky and cheap?
When you notice somebody dies or someone's in the news,
and all of a sudden, like you see the little
thumbnail for their movie on every streaming service you have.
(25:44):
It's convenient, but is it also like they're capitalizing off
the death or controversy of that person, combined with paying
tribute to the mom. I'm fifty to fifty on it. Yeah, no, exactly,
but you notice it, right, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I'm sure you're gonna see a Hoosier's thumbnail or at
Royal Tannin's bomb thumbnails somewhere in your streaming services. I
have a dumb thought that has to do with what
you just said about nineties movies. Yeah, well, let me
again preface though I had seen parts of Remember the Titans.
I was on a plane it was there.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I think that was from the year two thousand?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Was it two thousand and again, Mike, I liked it rich.
I'm sure I'd have liked it a lot more when
I when it first came out. You know, you have
to put yourself in that mindset. I guess we had
a theory the other day that it's so dumb. Why
not bring it to Fox Sports Radio. I can't be
the only one because Cavino felt the same way, and
(26:37):
I'm really curious what everyone else feels. When you were
a kid and your grandparents showed you photos and relics
from the twenties and thirties and forties, eh, this is
me in World War two or but it would bust
out their perforated photos, you know, with the little triangular
perforations on them. And they're always black and white, obviously,
(27:01):
And I knew that I lived in a time of
color photos, so I always associated they're past in black
and white, old movies black and white. So when my
grandparents would tell me a story, I pictured it in
black and white, and in my mind, I thought they
lived in black and white. Yeah, when now I would
imagine their stories, I would imagine them like in a
(27:24):
Humphrey Bogart sort of era and and sort of camera view.
So when did life become colorful? Grandpa? Oh, it always
has been, Grandpa. When did technicolor like kick into actual lights?
I'm not even bs And I thought my grandparents lived
in black and white.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
And I totally get it because now, but it's not,
You're not that far off because now when we see
old clips colorized, it's not like anybody's wearing neon green,
you know, like it's all just a subdued navy.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Black or brown or gray. So it's not it's not
that shocking.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
It is amazing to see those colorized like anywhere. Like
a World War One footage I saw. It was like
of the British soldiers colorized. It was unreal, like it
just brought a whole new life to it. It feels
like it can't be real.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
World War two footage colorized, it is crazy. Like I
saw footage of Babe Ruth colorized recently, so man, that
that's weird. A blink and anything. The city connect. So
I look at it and I say, you know, I
thought our grandparents lived in the black and white. And
I found out that Babe Ruth actually used mustard on
(28:29):
his hot dogs, not catchule. I always wondered sure because
it was yellow. So here here's our dumb covin on
Rich thought if we as little kids. I'm not saying
I think that now, but as a little kid, I
think I thought my grandparents lived in black and white. Yeah,
I thought in old timey times they lived in black
and white again when when I was a really little kid,
Pleasantville style based on theory, based on that theory. The
(28:53):
other night, I'm on YouTube because my kids was to
watch all junk on YouTube, but I was signed in
under my name, and the best thing I had watched
was highlights of the twenty twenty four Mets, like all
the Lindor and Alonzo home runs, and my kids, who
are getting ready for t ball and softball, they're like, Dad,
what's that? I go, you want to see a couple
of home runs from the Mets last year. And then
(29:14):
it gets into the show US, Dad, Show US, Show US,
and I'm like, hey, buddy, can you name three Mets?
And I'm so proud of my son's like Thoto, Lindhorr
and Paular may Repete. I'm watching them watch highlights and
then my daughter does the whole you think the Mets
will ever win the championship as she calls it, because Dad,
(29:34):
didn't they win when you were my age? And that
was the last time I go, yeah, buddy, it was,
She goes is that on TV? I showed them a
two minute clip of you know gets by Buckner and
Mookie Wilson eighty six. All my kids kept saying was,
were things blurry when you were a kid. So do
our kids the same way we thought our grandparents lived
(29:57):
in the black and white? Do our kids think we
in the blurry? They do? They do? And if so
many reasons that even clips from the nineties, mostly the nineties,
there's reasons that they're extra blurry when you see them
now because they weren't formatted for today's type of monitor
and screen. There was SD. Yeah, they're right, and so
(30:18):
you'll see a clip you know, damn well, it wasn't
that blurry, but it was on video, right, and now
it's digital. When it transferred, it just looks like crap.
So if a kid is looking at a highlight from
the ninety six World Series, I got to break about
my Yankees here, it looks like something from the nineteen sixties.
It looks pathetic, It looks pathetically blurry. So, based on
(30:39):
our theory of we imagine our grandpapy living in the
black and white, our kids think we lived in the blurry,
and they're not necessarily wrong because if you watch some
of those videos, they're all blurry. Dude, Honestly, like any
any highlight you will watch or pull up on YouTube
from the eighties. The way it's formatted, the way it's
you know, captured George bred getting mad about the cork bat.
(31:02):
That looks like I would. I can understand where you're
five year old or six year old kid would be
like dad or things blurry. When you were a kid.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Two thousand and two, NFL Action two thousand and one,
you'd be amazed on how bad it looks and it
feels like.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
It was just the graphics packages. Everything about it looks like, man,
how old is this video? And it's not that old
twenty years old. Dan Byer and I take a lot
of pride in being nerdy about is the lower thirds
and the graphics packages. When you were a kid, you
didn't realize that was never up during the game. If
you watch an old NFL film from the eighties or nineties,
(31:38):
they only showed the score and the quarter and how
much time and third down, second down, going in and
out of commercials. I guess they thought it was not
a good idea to show it. Like if you watch
an old Monday night football game when it was Alan,
Dan and Frank, there was no permanent lower third.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
You know, I'm sure there's some guy tunes in in
the second or third quarter and watches fifteen minutes of
the game so you can get the rating. Not to
realize he's watching a forty one to nine game. Maybe,
Like that's the reason why where all of a sudden,
Now if you turn it on, you're like, that game's
a blot.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I'm just gonna turn it away. That the theory might
have been, if you see the score, you're not gonna
stick around. Sure, Yeah, who knows. There's also a difference
in the quality of NFL films because it could be
a game from you know, the two thousands, and it
looks like something from the sixties because it's on film.
That's always misleading.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, it just looks flat.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It looks flat because it's on actual film. But when
you see that old video of old baseball games again,
it wasn't he that long ago and it looks so old.
Hence kids think we lived in the blurry era of life. Yeah, good,
that's true, especially with their HD. I's good luck getting
another show on this network or any network to have
the revelation if we lived in the pluck.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You really have to go to that footage. If you
want to do like a documentary on it, you have
to clean it up. It takes a lot of post
production editing or not editing, but like you have to
like sharp sharpening things up. You have to really do
a lot of work on it. It's like almost like
restoring an old car.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, does it creep you out? Guys? When you see
with a which with AI they could probably do it easily.
Does it creep you out when you see how now
they could bring old photos to life? Is that weird
to you? Like they'll take like an old timey times
photo and they could sort of animate it, make it
like a gift almost.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I just don't like the way the eyes look.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's so weird when they get a video. I know
it's stupid, but did you see the video of Donald
Trump sucking Elon Musk's toes.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I did see that.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's so disturbing. But because it looks so real that exactly,
you know, I'm sure there's old people happened that believed it.
My mom probably thinks it's real. Ritchie I saw it
on Facebook. Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.
What's going on there? Guys?
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Have you guys seen any of the old clips when
they change from black and white to color TV where
stations actually did it, where they're like, we are not
going to transition into a color modent.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
How about when Dorothy goes from Kansas to munchkin Land.
While I watched The Wizard OZ recently with my kids
and they were so bored in the beginning, and I
had to be like, kids, I promise you, it's gonna
get better.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, and you're gonna hate what you're about to see.
Chief said in Travis Kelsey confirmed to play in twenty
twenty five, doing so in text messages to Pat McAfee
of The Pat McAfee Show. Chiefs, by the way, place
the franchise tag on guard Tray Smith. Former Buccaneers head
coach John Gruden will be reinstated into the team's ring
of honor. He was removed in twenty twenty one, but
we'll be back up in twenty twenty five. Heisman Trophy
(34:30):
winner Travis Hunter not working out in Indianapolis now. If
you remember, he was designated as a defensive back at
the combine. He interviewed today with reporters and when asked
about what teams he spoke with, Hunter just said next
question would not reveal who he had spoken to. Jake
napshot fifty nine on the PGA Tour in the first
round on the Cognizant Classic, twelve birdies and no bogees
(34:52):
for the fifteenth sub sixty round in PGA Tour history.
Jordan Speith is six back at six under Oriole. Shortstop
Gunner Henderson left today's grape Fruit League game against the
Blue Jays with discomfort on his lower right side left
after just one inning. Finally, Spurs head coach Greg Popovich
says he will not return to coaching this season following
this mild stroke. He's focusing on his health and hopes
(35:12):
to coach again in the future. Guys, back to you,
Thank you dB. Now again to wrap up our random thought.
If we thought our Grandpapy grew up in the black
and white because all the old stuff lived in black
and white, do our kids think we lived in the
blurry because all of our pictures and all of our
footage is blurry. If I told you picture Abe Lincoln
(35:33):
doing a speech, honestly, are you picturing it in like
a black and white?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Absolutely? I'm not picturing him in color. I have no idea.
So anyway, we talk Travis Kelcey and we do some
old school and fifty hits. We have lots to get to.
On the Cavino and Rich show, Rest in Peace Gene
Hackman ninety five. Now they're saying suspicious and the details
(35:57):
that are coming out are suspicious, and of course Rest
in Peace's wife and his dog. We're gonna pay tribute
on Over Promised, our bonus show, so tune into that.
Plus we're gonna talk Nasty Nestor getting a lot of
criticism for saying that he thinks the Yankees, and he
speaks on behalf of all the Yankees from last year.
He thinks the Yankees were the better team even though
(36:20):
they lost to a Dodger. It's so silly. I'm gonna
try to make I'll do my best to make sense
of what I think he was getting that on over Promise.
You could say that about any competition in the world
that doesn't even need to be the World Series. I
think we're the better team. But if you didn't win,
were you really the better team? No, but I understand
what he means. I'll explain again. Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
(36:41):
We go live at four pm out here on the
West seven PM on the East over promised our bonus pod.
You could listen, but check it out watch it on YouTube.
Dan Bayer, thank you for texting me this clip. We
gotta plus this at Covin on rich The exact moment
when news stations switch from black and white to color
TV April fourteenth, nineteen sixty seven. Did you see this ever?
(37:02):
There was like a moment like the we're gonna flip this.
It was a live moment. Yeah, I like, it's black
and white, looks right here, and then all of a sudden,
the guy sits down at the desk and all of
a sudden like and flip the switch. It's a little
staticky for a second and boom. I don't think I've
ever seen that. I've never seen this either at I
(37:23):
got it happened when Dorothy opened the door. That's what
I thought. Wow, that's amazing. Well, look at the time
fifty after when Old School hits, there's a surgeon y.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
What we gonna do is go back back into town
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.
That's fifty after. Cn R give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Now, next hour we will talk to NFL and Travis Kelcey.
He's made an announcement. We'll get to that. But every
Thursday we throw throw it back and we reminisce nostalgia
a big part of our lives. We get you involved
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Everything at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now, if you're
(38:13):
on social media like most of us are, or you
just see the news from time to time, you may
have seen that Hooters filed for bankruptcy? What Hooters? What
to me? If you would have said what business plan
might never fail? I would have to say, I don't know.
Hot women in wings? Yeah, that'd probably be around forever.
(38:34):
That can fail? How does that go out of style?
Which shows you America's changing? And man, wow, that's a surprise.
Are we too good for delightfully tacking? Now? What's wrong
with us? And then for the crafty folks out there
Al Bundy's disappointed, or for the women that love to
you know, do their little crafty stuff at home. Joe ANNs,
(38:55):
how many times have you stopped at joe An's with
your mom or your girlfriend or you're fee bad about this,
but at least I'll stop getting their junk mail every
other day. It's like, Geez, I bought some yarn there
five years ago and I still get emails from them. Yeah,
Joeannes texted me every day. I'm sad anytime I hear
this stuff. And if you have kids in school especially,
(39:15):
they're always asking you to take them to Joannes or
Michaels because they need things for craps at school and
projects and things like that. All that time you made
a diorama, Dude, I'm at Joann's actually a lot, because
my daughter's always doing stuff for her projects. Start with
the shoe box, but again, Hooters Joeann's. Just recently, I'm
from New Jersey. My family was all upset because they're
(39:37):
closing down one of the last locations of Rainforest Cafe
and Hersy, their famous Menlo Park location. Now there's only
one left. Remember they always in Atlantic City you walked
to the I guess you would say the lobby area
and they'd be like that the jungle.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Stre holding on by string used to go to the
one in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, there's like one or two here and there. But
based on these thoughts and all these news alerts. What
are some places that don't exist anymore that we just miss,
did we really miss? And wish we could bring them back?
I wish we could share those moments with our kids.
The Hooters one home hits home for me because my wife,
when she was in college worked at Hooters. In fact,
(40:15):
sort of how I met my wife because she ended
up she was miss Hooters in like oh eight and
we met her through the radio show. That's right, Jack
Richar's wife was Miss Hooters International. My girlfriend is the
stock photo that she also worked at Hooters. My girlfriend,
believe it or not, and they're using her photo as
the like, hey, we're falling for bankruptcy Hooters, and like
(40:36):
she's the one that's all over the news. Alrit So,
I mean, think about it. How many times were you
watching a game having some wings? Hooters is America? This
is shocking. Joanne's every school project or your kids shocking.
What are the ones that sort of bummed you out
when they closed down? It could be electronics stores, it
could be record stores, it could be anything. There's there's
(40:59):
old school region shops that.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Toy stores are a big toy stores.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So we'll get to all of it next, throwing it
back on a Thursday. Those stores you miss from back
in the day will do it next. Could be known
