(00:24):
Old school. When fifty hits, we throw it back when

We will talk about let's just say the interwebs, the Internet.
Stick around for that, plus game shows and more uncomfortable

(00:44):
I have a question and I need the help of
the Fox Sports Radio Nation. Danny G's on the phones,
Danny Hell Yeah, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Iowa.
Sam on the ones and twoes, What um Sam?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hi? I am Sam. And of course we got dB
the consummate professional on the updates. Hanging out with us
always always a pleasure, and Spotty's on the videos at
Covino and Rich. You have a hard hitting question, Well,
it's not really is that is hard hitting as mine,
but actually Dan Byer might be a big help with
my question. I was gonna say, on a on a
hot summer day like today, if I gave you the option,

(01:21):
are you going mister softy Carvell soft serve or you
going like baskin cold Stone Ben and Jerry's like hard.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I voted in this poll you put on social media.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
My wife and I argue about this because I'm like,
who wouldn't choose like a soft serve cone? And She's
like bathkin everybody. I'm like, get out of here. So
the question is soft serve or hard scoop? Is that
really the question?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
That was that was easy. Yeah, I'm going I mean
I like both, obviously, what are you you know the
third option, what are you gonna get? Like a Bubbalo
bill or a fat frog from the ic cream some
Reda's Italian.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Ice bro like Sherbet or Sorbet or something, says, I'd
say a Snickers ice cream bar.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I'm going fat frog, dude. I think it's a weak
ass ice cream man if he doesn't have soft serve,
because he's really just a car with a freezer and
it then, oh, now you're really just comp soft server
hard scoop. Let's move on to her. I'm going dairy
Queen soft serve. I'm going Tom Carvel dipped in chocolate.

(02:24):
You had the crunchy chocolate dip. How about a red Merle.
You know what the red Merlin is? Sounds like one
year old sex moves. Yeah, yah, I gave back. I
gave you this girl on collegy old red Merlin. It's
actually when they dip it in the cherry. Yeah yeah, yeah,
So think about that and hit us up. But I
have another important question right now. I'm sorry mine was
because I'm at a crossroads in life. Got a birthday

(02:48):
coming up yet I'm still feeling young and spry, but
I am at that stage of life of well, what's next? Right,
I'm hitting the gym every day, I'm always on the treadmill.
I try to watch what I eat, try to bring
my best. Well, no, you're feeling. You're feeling probably what
every honestly star athlete feels in their late thirties early forties,

(03:10):
where they're like, I used to be so dominant. What's
happening to me? I don't want to be fat like
Patrick Mahomes. Apparently, even though we defended him yesterday. We
said he's not fat. And by the way, if he
is fat, what are the linemen? What are they? If
Mahomes is fat? What about the other guys. So I'm
at that crossroads of life, the coming of age, where

(03:32):
I mean, you don't want to get hurt, right, Like
if you're playing a pickup game of basketball, you're sort
of just shooting, right, you're not really driving the ball
the way you used to because you're sort of tiptoeing around. Like,
I want to play, but I don't want to, like
go all out like these idiots. I'm not trying to
get hurt. You're at the crossroads. But cue the bone
thugs at harmony. But bom bom bone cross cross. Now

(03:56):
the crossroad is this. I don't play softball, really liked it.
I shoot around when I can. You want to stay
active and golf's not you. Well, that's what I'm saying.
I feel golf maybe calling my name a little bit.
Because you want to socialize, you want to hang out
with your buds, you want to have big time business meetings. Right,
there's so much you want to be outdoors, you want

(04:18):
to get away from the wife. There's so many benefits.
You might you may drink that. What's it called trans?
The drink trans? What's the drink called now? It's now,
it's trans the drinks even the drinks trans now. No,
it's a tranquil somehow.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Know.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
The golf drink about juice and vodka and something. No,
I have no idea what you're talking. There's a golf drink.
There's a golf drink. Someone Interests brought to my attention.
Our buddy Brandon told us about it, and then my
girlfriend confirmed, like, yeah, it's a super popular drink. She
works at a golf course. I don't.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
I don't drink alcohol, so if it's an alcoholic drink,
I probably wouldn't know it.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So there's all these reasons that I want to maybe
sniff a golf course. Talk about the classic transfusion, the
transfusion which is vodka.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
How did you not get transfusion trans am? I don't
know what you're saying trans.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
For the record, it's it's vodka ginger ale with some
grape juice, and that apparently is the hot you know what, Sam.
I didn't buy into the hype either. I was like, yeah,
I don't know gingerill, usually mixed with whiskey, but apparently
it's like the number one golf course cocktails, ginger ale
the number one answer of beverages. I only drink on

(05:28):
a plane for some reason, or when you're sick maybe.
But I also realized that golf is extremely frustrating, right,
that's the downside. There's pros and cons, and there's also
the feeling of I don't know, I feel like that's
an old guy thing. Am I at that stage of life?
Look at all your star athletes play. I get it.
I'm just telling you where my mind goes a little bit, right,

(05:48):
So I'm like, I could still hit a three point shot?
Am I ready for the golf course? Then I saw
something else today. Danny g sent this to us and
it's gone kind of viral. There was a post on
social media from by the way, I just love the name,
So I gotta say it. I wasn't gonna give the
guy any credit, but I love the name. Matt van Swoll.
Matt van Swollow, you got to live up to that name.

(06:10):
I know.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
I've been following him for years.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Matt van Swoll. Is he not like a workout guy?
I mean, you can't be It can't be a torp
if you have that name. He posted this breaking, sort
of developing viral story where extremely rare footage has emerged
of two Amish couples playing pickleball in a barn in Pennsylvania.

(06:33):
So pickleball exploding so hard that is trinkling into the
Amish community. Pickleball is reportedly exploding in popularity amongst the Amish.
And it also gets me thinking of, well, maybe that's
the avenue. So my question is when you're at that
stage of life where everyone's talking about golf and their
golf weekend and they're outing and they went traveling. They

(06:56):
were golfing and gollf But you're also hearing on the
other side, man, I was in this pickleball tournament. I
go out, me and my wife and pickleball and pick
If you had a choice to make right now, if
you're at that crossroads like me and both thugs in
Harmony and Britney Spears and Ralph Machi you ever see
Ralph Macchio the way all great references. Yeah, if you're

(07:18):
at the crossroads hanging out with us, and you were
to guide little Stevie here, where would you tell me
to lean as my next venture. I would tell you
to lean like Cotrello. All right, but no, no, obviously
you could do Hey, why not both? That's always the answer.
But if I was going to dive into one based
on the exploding popularity where the Amish are competing, do

(07:41):
you do that? Pickleball or golf? I know you for
a long time. I feel like golf is a planned activity.
It's a commitment activity. And you're a guy that doesn't
Kavina is a type of guy that's fair, doesn't like
to make a barber appointment, like a week in advance.
You got to get tea times, you got to get
a or some together. But not if it just goes

(08:02):
to the golf range, show golfing, that's just playing a
top of golf for topic. Do you want to do that?
I figure that's I realized how bad I was at
that recently in Vegas. Sound was like, man, I really
got to just called driving dance and you're just hitting
golf as I want to start driving, go to the range,
and you know, get better at that as we grow
and these become the hobbies that we lean into. Dan Bayer,

(08:25):
I sort of got a feeling of what you would say,
Dan Byer, where is golf gear to work? You love it? Well?

Speaker 6 (08:32):
I do, and a lot of times I'll after work,
I'll just go straight to the course and then you know,
hit some balls on the range and then go home
because it's on my way home.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
So that's I feel you, Yeah, like I'm primed and
ready to go to the gym right after work.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Here.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Dan Byer is a big golf guy, so I imagine
you'd be like, dude, get some clubs, get involved, and
there's so many pros to being a golf guy because
you could do that for so long. I'll even go
your see Dan Byer's che Chi Rodriguez moves where he's got.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Some timely reference.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yes on water Wolves plays of the year because he
would always do fun little celebrations.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yes, he's only been dead for a little while, but hey,
it's all good, you know. But uh, not for a
long time, you know, che rudder. No, But I was
just gonna say this, guys. You know, I'm not the
biggest baseball fan. Played when I was I was younger,
I you know, liked the game and not as much
as you guys, but I bought a glove as an adult.
You know why, because I need a glove as an

(09:33):
adult my kid. I bought it before I had our son,
because I just you need a glove, like and I
didn't have my glove from from when I, you know,
was a teenager, So I bought a glove, and I
feel like you need to do the same with golf clubs.
You may not choose.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
That's like pulling the band aid, like just pulling the
trigger by just.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Have them, yeah, just have him in case it, you know,
Like I'm not telling you to pick pick a ball
or to pick golf or to pick disc golf for
what whatever you want to do, but you should just
have a set that you can use and as you
get older, if there's more opportunities, then you have them
there to use and not like hey, go to borrows
of clubs.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
But it's also making that commitment, right, So yeah, yes,
step one, Like I invested in this, in this already,
maybe I get into it because there are so many
benefits to having being able to carry your own I guess,
hold your own on the golf course. But again, you
got to see this picture pickleballs exploding so much guys

(10:32):
that this is also giving other people a sense of fomo,
the fear of missing out, because there's so many people
talking about it. The Amish are apparently clearing out barns.
This photo's kind of wild. Actually know it's the photoshop
at first, and I'm still not convinced that, you know
what for all we know is they have a little
video of it. I just took a still shot. Oh

(10:53):
you saw the video, okay, I saw that could send
you and they clear out these I saw that if
you scrive, if you really zoom in, you see Jebediah's agenda.
It's churn butter, make some horses shoes and play pickle ball. Wild.
But they clear out this really this really nice barn.
It looks like the roof of a barn, actually right,

(11:14):
And they have these little Amish tournaments and the picture
that's gone viral, according to Matt van swol is actually
really cool. So in an ever changing world of what's
hot and what's next, and you're about to make those moves,
what would you do? What would you suggest? What are
you going to do? Because guess what, you're not gonna
be able to play intermural whatever it is that you

(11:35):
do for activities forever.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
What's interesting as well is that there's video, but there's
I'm just doesn't necessarily like to be photographed.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Who took this video?

Speaker 4 (11:47):
It is?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's yeah, somebody sent their property.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
But for some reason they're going to make a movie
like Kingpin.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, like yeah, it's my favorite.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
It's locked up in a high bird's eye view of
this of this showdown.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
I just saw the video that Danny was talking about.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, Rich, what are you going to do? I mean,
I know you think you're gonna be the softball king
of the valley. Whatever plays softball until I'm old. There's
guys that are like, he's sixty seventy something years old.
I got thirty years to be those guys. But golf
I lean more towards because I, while I do have
a little bit of a baseball swing, is there more
to drive the ball? But there's there a more legitimacy

(12:26):
to it than pick like just to eat The title
of the game bothers me too, to be honest, pickle
ball ball? What does what do they mean? But you're
a guy who cares about names, you want to watch
Handmaid's Tale because you said the name sounded corny. Page Well,
and I'm right, yeah, that doesn't intrue, Like I don't
feel like Steve Cavino pickleball player, Like that just sounds
lame to me. I don't know, well, I think you

(12:48):
know I hate to be the guys is why not both?
But give both a shot? And you know what it is.
I'll give you this. If I was telling you choose
between two women or two jobs, don't you sort of
want to try him out first before you make a decision.
I mean that's great advice. I mean, if you were
on the Bachelor, when do you take them both to
the fantasy suite and give it a smith? But I'm
only picking one. But go go do around the golf.

(13:11):
Maybe a Saturday of Dan Bayer could escape. We go
do maybe even nine holes, right, just do something and
then you and I go play pickle ball and maybe
one of them you're like, bro, I'm a dud dude,
and the other one you're like, yeah, boring, you know,
Sam and Danny g Where does your interest lean?

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I'm actually leaning golf.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
My cousin who's a couple of years older than me,
and I grew up with him almost like he's my brother.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
We're that close.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
So he just started playing golf and dB in his backyard.
He set up one of those it's not a simulator,
but you hit the balls into it. I'm not sure
what that's called.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Okay, yeah, some people put up nuts.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
So he bought this fancy thing that he's working on
his swing. And it's weird to see him into golf
because that's a sport he used to make fun of.
But it's got me interested in joining him on a
golf course, even to play nine.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Like Rich said, Hi, you Sam.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
I like to be outdoors, so I'd probably say golf.
I would just say it's it's more of an investment financially, obviously,
if you're going to buy it.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
As our show grows, maybe it's you know, we have
little golf outings to kickleballs.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Just need the racket and some shoes and the court
and some friends. I like the walking. I like the
golf courses. They're beautiful.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I'm watching and I'm watching Stick on Apple TV with
Owen Wilson. Wow, And honestly, just from watching that, I'm like, Wow,
you know what, I don't know, just there's something about
golf where I feel like that's where I'm headed and
by the way, just like when you had a kid,
had no idea that it's about golf. Just like when
you and your ex had your daughter and you felt
like you were a young dad. And I'm like, dude,
you're thirty. You're not a young dad. I was thirty three.

(14:37):
You make it sound like like you're too young to golf,
like Lebron James is golfing like people that are, you know,
young young athletes and actors. You know, seeing dudes and
checker pants play golf. I know it's different now it's changed.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
I think, you know, having Gilmore should have shattered all
those stereotypes. Yes, you have a guy in a Boston
Brunis Jersey come in and just completely changed the game.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
But to wrap it up, some of us, don't you
want to throw a guy to lake? Don't you want
to tussle on the golf course? Like the viral video
It was a big fight at a Canadian golf course
this week that's gone viral And this NHL goon tossed
this drunken buffoon into a swamp, into a lake or whatever.
It's a great fight video. So yeah, it gets crazy.

(15:20):
It's a lot of fun. But to wrap it up
based on the Amish barn story, this top secret footage
just surface. I'm not sure I could think of many
things that have exploded what seems to be overnight the
way pickleball has. You could say in our lifetime, ultimate
fighting really took off. But pickleball you got professional athletes

(15:43):
buying into teams, You got all these leagues and tournaments.
It is pretty wild to see that it has infiltrated
not only the mainstream but the Amish community. No doubt,
I think both are great options. I really do think.
I'm not trying to make a crude analogy, but when
you are dating, when you're going for job, and you
want to try things right, so I think, why don't
you make this the summer of the Summer of Steve

(16:06):
Covino's new adventures pickleball golf? Hey used to bowl when
you're a kid. See if you still got the love
for bowling. Honestly, that would be my number one preference. Yeah,
Bowling's blast be the next Link life, maybe next Pete Webbers.
Yeah all right, Well, anyway, if you guys have any
thoughts or ideas, let me know. At Covino and Rich

(16:26):
at Steve Covino and the number, of course is eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Now. Sure a lot
of your weekends are taken up by either your kids'
sports or this stuff. I got to ask one crucial question,
not just to you, but in general. There's the sentiment
of do you want to bond with your wife or
girlfriend or do you need time away from her? Because
I feel like I see a lot of a lot

(16:46):
of couples with the pickles, with the pickleballing. Ye when
I was when I'll spend a lot of time in
Austin when we were remodeling our house. Yeah, I lived
in Austin for like six months. There's a gym with
a huge pickleball facility that I was going to every day,
and I'd see all these middle age and older couples
doing doubles, and I feel like that's a bonding thing. Golf.

(17:07):
I feel like a lot of times there's definitely women
into golf, but I feel like it's more like yes
in a bond with a page sporadic. Yeah, I feel
like there's just a lot of guys that are dipping
away in their wives are bitching that they're gone six hours,
you know, So pick a ball golf, You be the decider.
And a note for Dan Byer and anyone else I
end up sporting equipment for their kids. This is not
an AD because I did my own little research. I

(17:29):
just bought my kid a Mizuno Power Clothes glove. There's
only like forty to fifty bucks because some gloves are
very expensive. But my kid is five, gonna be six,
and it's nice leather, but it's already broken in. And
some of them are either really nice leather that you
have to do so much breaking in, or they're those
like plasticky, crappy material the Mizzuno Power clothes. Before we

(17:53):
make fun of Wan Soto and before we do old
school and fifty hits, let's just take this quick phone
call the Crows.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Short.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I'm at is, do you do golfer pickleball? With pickleball
exploding and you're still very active? I know there's a
lot of injuries involved. Yeah, old people busting hips left
and right playing pickleball. Do you make that choice? If
you had a choice to make right now at the crossroad,
would it be golfer pickleball? For what to invest in next?
In life? Calvin in Mesa Arizona. What's up, Calvin?

Speaker 8 (18:22):
Not much? Good, Good afternoon, guys, Calvin.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
This is an interesting point, Kavino brings up. And I
say that because if you're roughly forty, you are starting
to see random friends like our buddy Nico in Arizona. Yeah,
he's like mister golf all of a sudden, like twice
a week he's on the golf course. It's it's you know,
I feel like you have kids, you need a little
getaway once in a while. Calvin, you are you going golfer? Pickleball?

Speaker 8 (18:46):
Pickleball?

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Now?

Speaker 8 (18:47):
I've played both, and they both have their advantages and disadvantages.
But pickleball is such a social game. If you need
that extra social area in your life and wear a
golf you know, you don't get back quite as much.
You have your foursome, but you're not talking on the
course or sitting around talking while you're waiting on the

(19:09):
next game.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah that makes sense. Oh hold on, now, that's a
great what if. What if you and I became a
pickleball duo and no one could beat us? Right doubles
for doubles champs in the valley All Valley doubles Champs
pickleball Coveno and Rich, I mean Dan Patrick's on the
Family Feud tonight. What if Covino and Rich on the
pickleball circuit? And by the way, if you just joined us,

(19:31):
there's a viral photo and video of Amish people. They're
saying it's exploding. This sport's so big. There's photos I
don't know how, but then the photos and video of
homage people clearing out barns just to participate in their
own pickleball tournaments. So thank you guys for all your
feedback and all your help and suggest g ownes at
Covino Rich at Fox Sports Radio. But I do want

(19:52):
to play this clip that rubbed me the wrong way?
Really made Johnny Yill. No, Johnnyill rubbed me the right wa.
Well that's right, Wan Soto rubs me the wrong way.
Now what rubbed me the wrong way the most is
well the decision he made, because I don't believe it
was to play for the Mets. It was all about
the bag, as they say, it was all about the money.

(20:12):
Five million more to play for the Mets. Meanwhile, he
just made a World Series run with the Yankees. Yet
five million more and and the Yankees r an extra year.
There are things that I'm going to agree and disagree
with you on, but before you even proceed, he didn't
have to leave the market he was in. He went
across town. The Mets are known to be more family friendly.

(20:35):
You could say it's all about the bag. But the
Mets and Yankees, the records will show you now they're
very similar as far as potential. But the Yankees kissed
his ass for an entire year. Yeah, Aaron Judge, bringing
him breakfast. They did everything they could kids. They had
a World Series run, they had unfinished business series run.

(20:59):
They didn't they were not in the World Series. They
they played the Dodgers, but the Yankees did. So say
the Mets better than the Yankees. You could say it
all you want. He left for the money, dude. It
was the money. And that's what bothered me. It wasn't like,
you know, a quality of life decision. It was for
the money. He left for the Mets. I hated that
about him. And show me where his priorities were. I get,
it's a business, pye, how much money do you need?

(21:19):
The Yankees overed him seven hundred and sixty million dollars
or whatever, so he doesn't make the All Star team.
We're gonna be out there. We made it as we
approached All Star break, and you know, do I think
it's a snub? I do, Rich because he did turn
it on. He was the player of the much who
was the player of the National League for the month
of jum much to my dismay, There's no question the

(21:41):
guy has caught up to where he should be.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Some of the biggest snubs this year, according to our guy,
Ben Verlander and other MLB experts, want Soto's top of
the list. Then you got George Springer with the Blue
Jays and Suzuki with the Cubs. But want Soto was
snubbed and he was asked about it. And before we
play the clip, just please pay attention to where his
priorities are. Again, Why are you upset Juan Soto that

(22:08):
you were snubbed for the All Star team?

Speaker 9 (22:10):
Would you have like to make her team?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
What you think? ANICI and I think it's it's a
lot of money on the table.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Would rather sleep?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I make it?

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Boo again? About the money? What about the honor and
the accolade? With a smile on his face doesn't mean
he was joking dude, Rich thinks that this is a
big joke. Juan Soto, why don't you open up for
Cedric the entertainer. He's not a comedian, he's not the
King of comedy. It's not him. He's not replacing Bernie
mac Dude, he's not the guy. Okay, he stinks his

(22:42):
whole mindset immediately wasn't like, oh yeah, it would have
been great to be out there with the best in
the game. You know, I turned it up this season.
I think I deserve it. You know, it hurts my feelings.
I want to go to Atlanta represent He's like, no,
the money, and you know what the money is this bozo.
It is boso haircut. It's ahundred thousand dollars bonus, which
is a lot to me and you and everybody else.

(23:03):
But when you're making seven hundred and sixty five million,
what's enough for this guy? He gets certain bonuses from
making the team. And I looked it up as part
of his contract, one hundred thousand dollars if he made
the All Star team. That's his answer, that's his mindset.
This guy's garbage, dude. He's a great ballplayer. His priorities
are cheeks ill like cal Rawley cheeks deflated cheeks. Cal

(23:29):
Rawley has nice, rumpest cheeks. So I can't as a
Mets fan defend you're saying he's joke. I can't defend
the weak ast answer that he gave. But what I
can defend is he said it in jest. For all
we know his comedic timings been. He didn't say it serious.
He laughed, the reporters left. He was smiling ear to
ear the whole time, like, Yeah, it's a lot of

(23:49):
money left on the table. It's it's funny. Maybe the
joke is or the guy just sees dollar signs with
everything he does. I get it's a business listen, but
does it not mean anything to you? Jabebroni's like you
and Yankee fans? Who who's the Jabbroni here? Me or
Soto Bro?

Speaker 3 (24:05):
You and all.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yankee fans that are just but hurt that you got
dumped to the first time in a long time. You
love to paint this picture that Wan Soto is this
terrible guy in the clubhouse. His teammates will say he's fantastic.
His teammates will say that he gathers the guys together
and he's a team guy. Everything about Wan Soto's great
except what he gives. That an answer that you don't

(24:27):
find funny, and he dished you. It's it's like a
girl left you and yes she's ugly. Now, dude, it's
Wan Soto. Get over to start to realize, you know
all along that you were blinded and she's got terrible attributes.
He's got terrible qualities. It's the truth. You see it. Yes,
you're right, I see it now. I loved him last
year he was hitting home runs for the Yankees. Now
I'm seeing all these negative qualities. Please, you had movement

(24:48):
in your pants when he would do the Soto shuffle
last year, his first default response was the one hundred
thousand dollars that he's missing out on. How about man,
it would have been a great honor to be an
All Star for the Mets. I can't defend the bunk answer,
but hey, your thoughts.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
I like how Covino used the word rump is to
describe like a fuller rump, when in fact it means
just like chaos.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's a bigger rump. It's got multiple meanings. Sam, it's fine.
I loved it. Yeah, it was flexible. I always say,
let the wild rump Is start. There you go, I'm
not talking about ass when I say that is rump
Is and dumpus. Side note, we're all big we're ol
fans here in the studio. In fact, we've had him

(25:33):
on our show a few times and he's a big fan.
You know. We have a parody band with over one
hundred songs. We can't play the songs on Fox Sports Radio,
but if you search hard for Tickle Sacks.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
I saw them live in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, tingle Sack was going to call it a concert.
It wasn't really a concert, but it was a live performance.
We went aluminum in Canada, I believe. So, Yeah, Tickle Sack.
Look it up, guys, Cavino and Rich and we play
Amish Paradise because apparently pick a ball is all the rage.
They cleared out the viral thing is and Sam cleared
this up for us. They cleared out a hayloft, a

(26:07):
beautiful detailed halft.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, please don't call it a barn.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
It's not a barn. It's part of the barn. Yeah, hayloft.
And they have tournaments there and there's top secret footage
of it. And we were talking about hey, because it's
exploding so much. Do you get into pickleball or golf
if you had the choice. And then we started talking
about Wan Soto, so we got all kinds of phone
calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Do
you want to say hi to a couple of people,

(26:31):
then we'll move along?

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Or what.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Let's say? Had a Ryan in Montana? Ryan, what's up, buddy?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, I just wanted to talk about golf. Yeah, first,
pickle ball?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
What you got.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
It took golf five centuries to become popular. Yes, pickle
walls got long ways ago.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, but it is blowing up, dude. I mean I
get what you're saying. Was major leagues, man, Fish and Pa?
What's up? Fish? Hey? Fish?

Speaker 10 (27:00):
What's up?

Speaker 11 (27:00):
Guys?

Speaker 10 (27:01):
Definitely golf, scramble with friends, there's strategy, there's beer, there's everything,
you know what.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Then this was a useful conversation because of the social aspects.
I don't really like to socialize that much, so I'd
like to go and hang with my buddies at a
golf course, and it just seems there's something a little
more more legitimate to it, you know, to me. Yeah,
go ahead on Soto, Man what's up.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
But it's a competition, so okay, that makes it fun.
And Soto just ask Dan Byer kirk Cousins, even on
a rant, is the Juan Soto of football, only less talented.
He's done the best to get the biggest bag possible
for his ability?

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh is he the Is he the Kirk Cousins?

Speaker 6 (27:49):
Hey, guys, I did go off on kirk Cousins, but
just because I felt kirk Cousins has always been about
that money. So for him trying to spin a story
maybe kind of like Sodo of like this or that,
maybe not apples to apples, but I don't think that
he's necessarily that far off. And a lot of people say,
who can fault them? Maybe that's your point, Rich, like

(28:10):
what's wrong with going after the money?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
But I just I just think he was also joking
a little bit. Was not joking, Okay, I felt fine?
All right, Well, hey listen, we are live from the
Fox Sports Radio studio, and real quick, it's time for
our tire ract play of the day, Your dude Jazz

Speaker 9 (29:01):
Yea.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
What we gonna do is go back.

Speaker 9 (29:05):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits. That's fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah. So we call him Super Producer dn EG because
he's a super producer. As super Producer, he's on the
phones at eight seven seven ninety nine, Oh Fox. He
sent us a meme that I don't know is making
its rounds. I guess, yeah, and it says, what's an
early internet site that kids these days will never know?

Speaker 10 (29:36):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (29:37):
And when you think about it, it's so awesome. We
don't even promote websites the way we used to. Well,
now it's just to hit up my social media and
then then it'll get you wherever you need. But back
in the day, websites were a thing. I mean, Cavino
and Rich dot com still exists. You can find ticklesack
there our band, I mean, but it really is just
a launch pad for all your social tea.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
Exactly when our very own from the network, Brian Knows,
asking me the lineup for for your Vegas twenty year,
I went to your website and I thought about, that's
the first time I actually plugged a website into my
computer in a long.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Term Dott, Yeah, So what are the old websites that
you spend so much time on from the hey days
that kids now will never know? And trying to keep
it clean because my mind immediately went dirty as well.
But hey, we'll take your feedback next. Cavino and Ranch
going old school. There was a meme that Danny g

(30:31):
sent us about old school internet websites, and it said,
what's an early Internet site that kids these days will
never know? And it makes you think there's a lot
of things from our parents' generations that will never know
because they just never brought it up. It wasn't that important.
It was just a little phase of their life. But

(30:53):
we didn't know. So we just live our lives never
knowing that if you don't tell your kids about MySpace
or the rotten dot com, why in the world would
they ever know that rotten dot com was one of
those weird websites that you would go to see, like

(31:15):
like the gruesome death pictures that the news wouldn't show.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
You they had.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
And it's like the same reason we all watched Faces
of Death. I don't know why, but we all did.
It was the same intrigue that you had when you
went to rotten dot com. I just kind of see it.
But for all the kids that are on TikTok and
Snapchat and Instagram all day, so few of them ever
knew what the template from MySpace looked like. The idea

(31:41):
of I'm gonna put my favorite people in my top eight,
I'm going to pick a song, I could pick a wallpaper.
There was something so personalized about my Space. I'll be honest.
I feel like we both believed that my Space sort
of blew it because as far as how you loved

(32:01):
the look of it, I thought it was way better
than anything we're doing because you personalized it. And you know,
we were all friends with Tila Tequila and Tom and
until all these bots and all these fake accounts sort
of ruined, and then Facebook became more popular for everybody.
Remember Facebook was only for college students, so now everyone
had an email, a college email to be part of Facebook.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
Yeah, and then didn't justin Timberlake buy it and try
to relaunch it.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
He did, He bought MySpace and it just didn't work out.
But it was huge. It was great, and it was
great if you were trying to date, so if you
put someone in your top eight that meant something back then.

Speaker 7 (32:36):
It was great for musicians who are trying to break
in and get popularity because you know, YouTube wasn't as
big of a thing. Getting your song like in the
spotlight on social media was not a thing back then.
So all of us were hearing new music for the
first time on MySpace.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
There's a lot of artists that really benefited, yep from MySpace.
I remember when I first met my wife, not to
date myself. It was the two thousands. I remember were
checking her MySpace page out and she was playing a
new artist. I'm like, who's lady Gaga. She's like, oh
my god, you're gonna She's great. And I remember my
wife in early on Godga. Because you would find cool music.

(33:12):
It was great for music. And you know, again, I
loved how Cavino and I would put girls we were
sweating on our top eight hopefully they'd notice, Yeah, for sure.
And we were working for Maxim at the time too,
so it definitely helped our dating scene. So shout out
to MySpace. But you brought up it was great for music.
How about websites like, because you know what, when the

(33:34):
headlines and the stories are written right, it's all gonna
be about napster or whatever. But we were on LimeWire right,
we were on Aries was one that I used often
to downlout smile of music. I feel like I've known
you Cano, yeah for you know, twenty years now. I
remember you would always tell me about like, Yo, I
saw some girl on hot or not hot or not.

Speaker 5 (33:57):
Yes, I was just talking to dannybody. It was like
an early Tinder like they stole like swiping or yes
or no.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
You great people on their looks and you would never
be a nine point five. You'd rate them like on
a scale of one to ten, and I remember.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
People took it real personaded a picture of myself and
I was like, I was.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
I was saying, could be like a six. That's very
funny too, I would saying it still haunts him. He's like,
I'm a six to one. Oh, I probably have. I
actually probably have like a print out of it because
I got a pretty high squirrell. I'm so proud of it.
I remember you being like bro I got like at
nine point two. I was like, look at this guy's

(34:34):
bragging about or not I fun.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
Have a website you two were both featured on. Now,
don't take this personal, because I think it's kind of
an honor that you were on here, because you were
on there with good looking girls. The website was called
Hot Chicks with Douchebags dot com, and my cousin and
I we used to send links to each other every
week with the funniest pictures and captions in This guy

(34:56):
who ran this site would name the douchebags that had
the orange tan going, and they all looked like they
were from New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
No offense coming, No.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
That's exactly it, right, because your typical guy that they
would feature looks like PAULI d or somebody like that, right,
and where East Coast dudes were from New York and
New Jersey.

Speaker 7 (35:13):
So you guys were always photographed with the hottest girls.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
We were like the biggest us bags and in people's minds. Yes, figuerwets.
I'll give you another website that kids today will never
understand that. I'll tell you why there's a reason online
bullying and you know, being terrible to other humans, you
know is no longer in good taste. Clearly back in
the day, there was a website that preyed on just
being like a jerk and criticizing people. Do you remember

(35:38):
the Dirty Yes, we were on that today.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
I haven't thought about that in years.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
They would take a good looking girl, put her on
the Dirty and all the comments would just rip her apart.
When started that culture, he's still popular now. But Perez Hill, yes,
he was the king of that. Or he would say
the Queen and.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
His website was really popular.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Hill.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
You know what he he It was nice to us
when we met him. He works with our buddy Chris
Booker and stuff. But he fretled it back at he
cleaned up his zach because he realized, like like suit
or something, just something happened. He grew up too and
realized that he would ran in some culture changed he
evolved with it, so good for him. But there's a
few that stand out. Again, what's inn early internet website

(36:22):
that kids these days will never know because we just
don't go to websites the way we used to. Could
I throw one at you that I feel like is
on your list? Yeah? Sure, because you and I have
been You might not believe this, people, but we prepped
for this show. Yeah, there was a site, let's se
remember what do you think I'm thinking of? It was
a site that compiled all the big headlines and you
and I would always pull from it to do our

(36:42):
radio show. I remember it. I remember it well in fact,
because again this is where we got all our show
ideas back and then at fark dot com consolidated all
the biggest headlines.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
For show preparation.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
It was perfect. Was it only for show prepping radio?

Speaker 7 (36:57):
There were a couple of sites we used for our
morning show to prep every day.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
I got it far consolidated all the fun, goofy stories
from all these different websites, and it was all on one.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
And Fark was when I went to every day. I
honestly thought you were going to say Ben mallor dot com.
That's what Mallory used to Yes, it was a rumor
site that was very popular, very popular back in the day.
Ben used to do.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
That gossip king Ben Malley sports gossip. So it was
like the same thing for more sports leaning.

Speaker 6 (37:25):
Yeah, yeah, Ben was yeah, gosh, more than twenty years ago. Yeah,
for sure.

Speaker 7 (37:30):
He often says that he was ten years too early
when he was trying to ride because now sites like
that later on sold to big corporations for a lot
of money.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
He must want him. He would have ten years later
probably would have sold for one hundred million dollars to
some corporation. That's really cool, And you know, I understand
the feeling of being early on something. I remember I
was working at k Rock, New York, and I was
a nobody. I was a desk jockey. I was working
behind a desk, just trying to get on the air,
driving the van around, and I had my own website
because I was younger. I'm like, I'm not my own

(38:01):
Steve Cavino dot com right, and all the other veterans
they're like, what do you got a website for? But
I would put all these hot chicks and sports stuff
on my website, and that's how I ended up with Maxim.
They're like, this dude's all about dating and women in sports,
let's get him from Maxim. And that's how I met
this bozo on the radio.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Sure, yeah, So those things did help back then. And
there was a website that I always went to and
I loved, and some of you might remember this on
a throwback Thursday, Old School with fifty hits. There was
a game. Now, I remember, we're talking early internet days.
We're in our twenties on bord and I'm kind of
a I don't know how I describe it up. You're

(38:42):
horned up, knucklehead.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
There was a website called the romp dot com. The
romp dot com now, I don't really remember what the
website was, so investigate at your own risk. But there
was a game on this website called Jake's Booty Call.
And your whole point of playing this little website online

(39:05):
game was to get Jake some booty. And it was
like a choose your own adventure game. So Jake would
be like, Hey, what what's up? And Jake would be
at a party with his friends, and you have to
like choose what Jake did next to see if he
scored at the Do you remember this booty call? Jake's
booty call on the romp dot com. But I'm telling

(39:25):
you Rich, I loved it. I loved that game. I
really do all the time. Let's go to our pal
in Vegas. What's up trip you're on?

Speaker 11 (39:33):
If you don't k buddy, Hey, gentlemen iPhone user four
pieces of pizza eater, I gotta catch up in the
last few weeks.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
He's the pizza man.

Speaker 11 (39:42):
I was going to say a little fun fact for
Cavino the Soto. The only reason he takes batting practice
is he gets paid by the pitch.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah that I believe that. I believe that.

Speaker 11 (39:54):
And then two websites and then I got a real
quick mispronunciations with parents story. I would say map quest
and asked Jeeves. I don't think anybody uses.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Ask Jeeves is a great ask Jeeves. We haven't asked
Jeeves anything. Poor Jeeves is sitting around like somebody anyone
needed and need something? What are we doing? And uh yeah,
map Quest for sure.

Speaker 7 (40:13):
Map Quest is the reason we hung on to a
lot of our printers because that we used the ink
cartridges the most.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Printing out directions.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well, let me sorr about you know, since I'm a
two thousands guy at Serius six M Pop two K,
I do the countdown every weekend, and I recorded this
weekend's countdown yesterday. O nine was the year we got
navigation on our smartphones for the first time. So in
nine we were like, yo, map quest later to you
like that was the year, oh nine, So I had.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
To write down map quest directions like by hand once
I didn't have a printer. And then you're you're driving
and like I'm driving to see my buddy in at
Northwestern in Chicago. I'm looking at the directions handwritten and
like looking away from the road.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
That's not that.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Say, you know what boomers love to talk about. They
love to talk about how they had those big maps
that open up like oh yeah, like our our parents
there were map stores that sold that. But I'm saying
parents love to talk about when they used to have
map I mean before looking at them, I believe or not,
I'm the worst of directions. I had to use those
navigate the city radio, the mail door of the explorer. No,

(41:16):
because if you know, early days of radio, especially you're
traveling all over the Tri state area and setting up
shop and broadcasts and promotions. Like I didn't know where
I was going. I had to use those stupid things.
So again, websites that your kids will never know about.
We brought up the rotten Before the Rotten dot com,
there was another one. It was a little more perverted,
but it was the same premise. It was called banged

(41:37):
Up dot Com. It was the question mark were banged
up So if there was any sort of controversy, if
it was some celebrity who had a NEWTI shot or
this guy sent the junk shot and you wanted to
see it, or it was a weird death or anything
that it was a little taboo and you couldn't really
find banged Up. I'm sure had it. So I used
to visit that every once in a while too, Again,

(41:59):
because it was all knew, exciting and news. I feel
like we've like covered so many of them. Oh, I
got more written down. I just don't want to sam
it up and steal them all. Job he knows he's
a verb.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
That, but he doesn't want to steal it from the
listeners who may want to be active.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Yeah, I don't want it's perfect.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
I was, I was thinking before more I've got him
before some lawsuits and specifically Haul Cogan. Dead Spin was
was one that broke a lot of stories, and Gawker
was the gawker.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Yeah, some of those websites were big time back then.
On a sign note, you know, you mentioned hot Hot
or Not, which, by the way, was a great one.
Hot or Not was one of those Friends. There was
also the one that predated Facebook and everything else. I
remember people at work like you got a friends to account.
I'm like, what, Prince, I don't even know what that was.
But another thing, if you ever want to reminisce. I

(42:59):
don't think everybody knows this, but if you ever want
to find an old article or an old image, or
an old website that you used to check out, there's
something called the wayback machine. And if you go to
WaybackMachine dot com and you type in the date in
the year and everything, you could find those websites. They're
all like cataloged. They're all there somewhere on the Internet,

(43:19):
which is which is wild. Yeah when you think about
I just laughed because it's not a website. So I
don't want to derail the conversation, but I was just
thinking of a different categories of things we looked up.
I was like, what about like TV and movies? And
I'm like, it's not a site, but do you remember
calling like mister movie phone. Like now you just go
on your phone and you're like, yeah, you look up
the local theater on like the amc app or something.
But back then, remember you call a number for movie times.

Speaker 5 (43:42):
There's a Seinfeld episode about that. There's always a sign Feld.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
They're a movie foe. So again, what's in early? And
you tell me? I like to see that your kids
these days will never know and they're fun stories to tell, like, yeah,
we used to have to dial up and it was
like AOL and then your mom would answer the phone
and like it would mess up your connection and like,
you know, those are wild times. And while I was
looking up all these creepy weird sites, rich I was

(44:05):
on Aim constantly trying to run my game like that
was the whole scene exactly a sl bro age six location.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (44:16):
I entered the chat, what's going on? No cons After
the chat, Sackman is here, what's up? The door closing
sound yeah. Yeah, can you'd heard that a lot. That's
what iOS Sam heard when they saw I was hot
or not picture.

Speaker 6 (44:29):
For the longest time, ESPN was ESPN dot go dot com,
and I remember there. You know, they teamed up or whatever,
but I remember always ESPN dot go dot com.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, you unlocked the memory. I
would have never remembered in my life.

Speaker 7 (44:45):
ESPN even came out with their own cell phone. Do
you remember that I had the sports ticker on it? Wow,
it was crazy, one.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Of my favorite sets. That's no longer. There is men
who look like Kenny Rogers dot com.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
If it was still there, I'd upload my dad's picture, right.
My dad used to look like Dennis Secresley, but as
he got older, he's now Kenny Rogers, Kenny rod.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
It's just all guys with white hair and you know,
a gray eer.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I miss I missed that.

Speaker 6 (45:13):
I'll still do a search on it and it will
give you some screenshots, but it's it's great.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Also, like every celebrity just had their own name as
a website, you nicholascage dot com.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
It'll give you like a bio.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
It would give you a little filmography and then like
some pictures and you're like, yeah, I'm just cruising on
Nicholas Caage dot com.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
You know it was.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
It was.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
It's an interesting conversation because you're right, everything now is
social media driven. The idea of a website, it sounds ridiculous,
but other than you know, think about even Fox Sports
and every other show hit him up on Instagram or
x at their name, or even Fox Sports Radio. Look
at our YouTube page, it's Fox Sports Radio dot com.

(45:51):
Really where you're going, No, You're you're finding us on
the iHeart app. You're you know, you're going to our
social pages. Websites themselves are sort of just outdated. I
know we're did for me. I know where it ended
when I stopped searching www dot whatever in the U
r L. And that was with BuzzFeed. That was the
last hurrah BuzzFeed dot com. That's great when it started.

(46:12):
It's not sure there's still one. There's still something I
look up all the time, really still to this day.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
No, just like when I'm alone, that's the only one.
That's the only time I got that's hilarious. The only
time I go to an actual webs the one that
has the drum beat in the beginning. Yeah, a little
drum beat. Yeah, that black and yellow one yellow. We're
not talking like the Pirates website. Oh but yeah, it's
it's it's the only it's the only thing I searched.

(46:40):
That's hilarious. But when it came to show prep and
just staying in the no and just checking out website BuzzFeed.
When it first came out, I thought it was great.
I thought it changed a lot and I lost interest
And that was like the last like of my go
to website. It went from like edgy, fun sharp articles

(47:01):

AOL dot com is still humming my article.

Speaker 1 (49:28):

but they do have like fifty rotating stories every day.
It is a good prep so you don't still pay
for it. I don't pay for AOL. My mom did
up until five years ago.

Still have an AOL dot com email address that is
old school, you know, did until like two years ago.

until late nineties, and all those old emails from Grandma
or Pepa and meme mo, all those things your ex
girlfriends when they'd write your letters. You think they're there
to look back on or something. They're all gone now.

(51:02):
Jacob Wilson of the Oakland formerly Oakland A's what even
call now just the A's Right? He is the Do
you think the Fons calls him A's second ever rookie
shortstop to start the All Star Game? And I'm thinking
of all the great shortstops, the a Rods and Jeters
and no Mas and a A. What do you think

(51:24):
the first was? I had to look this up Roy
Hanson in nineteen sixty. That is a trivia question. I
don't think anyone would have got the answer to. You
might have said, I'm no Calverpken Junior, Ozzie Smith, someone,
But no, this is the first dude since nineteen sixty
Jacob Wilson of the A's, And I have one more
trivia question. But I would say, I'm I know you
have a list of some of the websites we forgot

(51:44):
that you visited when you were a youngster. Yes, so
do you want the ones that I still go to
or no, No, let's start with the ones that we
used to go to that we forgotten now, so we've
given the callers their shot. I don't want to steal
other entries.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
Go ahead, so u E Bombs World, funnier Die dot
Com kind of more later on Absolutely Funnier Die in
great An Bombs Was. I went there because there was
an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard where you could just like there
are people also recordings of people prank calling people with
soundboard and then just going like, oh, get to the
Chappa yeah, and like different ones and then you play

(52:24):
them and it was fun and they were just like
little prank videos and stuff, prank clips.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
By the way, I think Funnier Die was an every
day automatic, So I'm glad you brought.

Speaker 5 (52:31):
That ups become kind of like a page on social
media and stuff. Ones that I still go to, though,
are Craigslist dot Com still useful. I don't know if
that's an app, but Craigslist is still a place where
you're like, I need to find an old footstool or something.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
You're giving me a weird look here. No, because there
was I used to.

Speaker 5 (52:49):
Yeah, Craigslist is still very active, like as a community
and then I still go to TMZ dot com because
I love their website. They have a sports section where
you see all that. Really solution is true. I still
go to TMZ. We were talking about website, you actually
still go to I do still go there.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
You're right.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
I check it out too, and they have I'm sure
they have an app, but I just go to the site.
But then also imager and Tumblr. Do you remember imager
dot com and tumblr dot com? And those are still
pretty active, like people send me stuff from those. Well
you all talked about it. And the other thing that's
different is I use TMZ sports but on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
So just.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Yeah, a lot of these have turned into Twitter pages.

Speaker 4 (53:22):

playing along with us. I got one more trivia question,
then we'll go to Dann Buyer's update. I was telling
you my buddy Rob hit me up with a cobble
good ones. Yes, rob My buddy Rob Baker former school
teacher retired and now I think he just lives sports.

(53:47):
So he hit me up with this one yesterday and
I thought it was a good one. And here's the question.
There are in all four major sports, notating baseball, football, basketball, hockey,
there are six pairs of teams that have the same mascot.

(54:09):
Six mascot names are shared by multiple teams in all
four majors. Who are the six Cardinals? Cardinals? Is one
of them? Very good Cardinals? If you got five more
uh Rangers, Rangers, Kings, King, Giants, Giants, Jets, Jets, Panthers, Panthers.

(54:36):
Who's going on family feud? Next?

Speaker 11 (54:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Well you know what with that? We reward Dan byre
with an early updated What's going on? dB?

Speaker 6 (54:44):
I was, Yeah, I teach my kid sports teams and
he knows the logos of the NFL teams.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Dude, can I tell you? Yeah, it's my favorite thing
to do. And not to hijack though you're in love
with your son, But at night, my son, I'll lay
in bed with him and he wants me to look
at the box scores, not because he's looking at the
box scores, but I'll go to the ESPN app and
he'll look at the teams and want to identify the logos, like, oh, look,
Orioles five, Matts three, like he'll he'll look at that.

(55:11):
And I think he likes identifying the logos. I remember
doing that as a kid myself.

Speaker 6 (55:15):
We were on a TK tour and somebody had drawn
in Edmonton Oiler's jersey like that was the art was
still off and he pointed he said Oilers.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Ah, that's all.

Speaker 6 (55:24):
Said yeah, no. Then I said, I go who do
they beat in the final? And he said Florida Panthers.
He gave Florida Panthers because I was telling him there's
two different panthers. There's the football Panthers and then so
he understood the Florida Panthers.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
My wife talked about how her dad took the most
pride ever in her knowing all the NFL logos when
she was a little girl, Like he was his proudest thing. Like, honey,
you tell them. So it's a fun thing to do
with your kid.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
Absolutely, absolutely, The thunder are giving out money left and right.
This time, Jalen Williams gets it. The Guard gets a
five year max extension with two hundred and eighty seven
million dollars ESPN with the report that says Williams, Sga
and Ched Holmgren could get eight hundred and twenty two
million dollars in the extensions that the thunder have handed

(56:08):
out this offseason.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
First of all, support our our legend on the network,
Dan Patrick, Who's going to be on Family Feud tonight
taking on Rich Eyes and that's at eight o'clock Eastern.
Let's go GP, DP Yo, Marvin Fritzy, Let's go Yeah.

Speaker 7 (56:26):
We also found out rich that DP was a finalist
for which game show?

Come?

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Wants to be a Millionaire?

Speaker 4 (56:33):
Right?

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Before Reaching and the Price is Right? He told a
story on I Guess Barstools we big ket Yeah, he
was a big was on his show? Is that what
was going on? He told the story that he was
sort of offered the gig to host the Prices Right,
but he didn't think he'd be a good fit for
it or whatever. And then years later he was offered
who Wants to be a Millionaire? But it went to

(56:53):
Regis for whatever reason. But those were two game shows
he had a chance to host. I think I'm I
think DP is doing Yeah, I think he's just fine.
I want to bring up one other things. Did you
guys see this cool video of John c Riley paying
tribute to Jack White on his fiftieth birthday.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
I saw like an article about it. Where does he
Detroit sports fans coming? They're coming out of the woodwork
because all these teams are good, all the Detroit teas.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
You know, Detroit's having a moment right now. But it
got me thinking, did you see Alex Cooper of Call
Her Daddy get booed at the Cubs game? Like these moments?
And by the way, no disrespect, congrats to all her success.
I'm glad she did. That was an appropriate booing. Harry
went on too long or something, or she like stretched
it out. She made a mockery of it. Yeaheah. It

(57:38):
was weird. But I wanted to ask you guys, what
do you find to be the most uncomfortable of those
type of scenarios, whether it's someone's birthday or not. I
think I have the number one answer. When you're on
a date at a Mexican restaurant and the guy playing
mariachi stands in front of you and your date and
you just have to watch them play for like three minutes.

(57:59):
That I'm sort of like is that Tove enamored by that?
Sometimes like I'm really at this guy. He's great.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
The Tom Cruisin Jerry Maguire, Remember, he's like, no, no,
we're co workers. We're coworkers trying to show the Mariachi's.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
I always think, like the romantic music. There's a restaurant
in La Spot. Have you know, Misslie? The Hibachi birthday
celebration is more embarrassing than that. Miscelli's is a great
restaurant out here in La It's a Mexican Italian place. Yeah,
right by Universal Studios. They the waiters all sing so
like in the middle of taking your order, they'll just

(58:32):
your waitress and waiter just starts singing tunes I got one. Yeah,
more embarrassing feeling because again, if you haven't seen the
clipp Rich describes, it's John c Riley and he's about
to throw the first pitch for Detroit and he's like,
I want to take this moment and he starts singing
Happy a group stadium group sing along Happy Birthday to

(58:53):
Jack White.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
In the suite.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Jack White is from Detroit, you know of the White
Strijan So he they start singing. It is so awkward.
Jack White looks touched, but it's still so awkward. I
feel like back to the birthday thing you ever walk
in on your own surprise party though, that weird feeling
of like like shock and embarrassment, like he like almost
like a very uncomfort it so uncomfored at least to me.
Some people relish. It takes you a minute to realize

(59:17):
what is going on. I hate that. That's the worst feeling. Man.
I know it's like an honor and it's very nice,
but I don't like that. And I give me something
really awkward too, And it's always done with such beautiful intent,
but I feel like it's as awkward as could be.
I like a funeral service or something. You know when
someone's like she's like to sing a song, and you're like,
oh my god, this better be this better be so

(59:38):
good because if it's not like you, now you have
like some mediocre singer singing a beautiful song for a
dead person. Oh happened to a wedding I went too
recently And they're like, yes, one of the bride maids
wants to sing a song. I know, And you know what, dude,
I did have that cringe, like, oh here comes awkwardness.
It was actually pretty good. I know exactly what you
speak of. And how about my friend. You used to

(59:59):
do this on purpose, just to give you that feeling.
He used to call it the introduce. So he would
take our most awkward, socially awkward friend and be like, yeah,
I'm gonna do the introduce, the introduction my friend like no,
And he would introduce our friends to a total stranger,
like in the moment, like we'd be at the store, like, hey,
I want you to meet my friend Doug, and Doug
would be.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Like, just to watch the train.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
That's how I met your mother. Have you met Ted? Yeah?
Have you met Ted? I didn't even know that was
from the show. I will listen. You guys, have a
great Thursday. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Arima, there
you baby? Do you? In the over Promised Land episode
one hundred, Let's Go
