you beat Sam the champion in a grito contest?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Probably not?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well, we'll see. Plus we be rocking out. Let's go,
Covino and Rich. Not only were the fights miserable, he
had that miserable pizza experience that we talked about.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I called the pizzeria there in the commercial, no joke.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, the delivery guy delivered the pizzas like like he
was holding the trapper keeper. It's like delivering a birthday
cake sideways, Like are you serious, dude?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And that was the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I called the pizzeria and I said, I don't want
anything free. I just want you to know that I'm
a big fan of your place, one of my favorites
here in the valley. You had an Uber Eats guy
holding your pizzas vertically delivering them late. And he's like,
thanks for knowing that. He took my order number so
that he could pinpoint not to allow that guy delivering
from his place. And these businesses need to know. And
(01:37):
it's more of a life problem. It's it's a fight
problem and a life problem. I'll explain. I think the
reason that the fight stinks so hard is that they
have no incentive to fight. They're getting paid so much money.
What are they fighting for? They're just dancing around. They're
already paid. Much like your pizza. You have to tip
mich who runs this place. Yeah, was making such a
good point. He said he used to deliver pizzas, but
(01:59):
he used to be Mike cue pizzas, Mike who delivered
pizzas back in the day, would have to provide good
service to earn a tip. When you're ordering through the
third party like grub hump, they make you put the
tip in first, so you're taking away total incentive for
a good job. You already tipped them, and you know
if you don't tip them, you're gonna get even worse service,
So you as the.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Customer losing in every way possible.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I don't know, it's just the fact that we're not
giving people incentive to do a good job anymore. I
don't know what problem that became a thing. Have you
guys all noticed that too? Where you could be at
a food court, you know, ordering on a digital screen,
you could be ordering on a third party app. You're
tipping before you even know what the service is about.
That makes zero sense. And you're paying these fighters a
(02:42):
lot of money before they even deliver. Tipping before you
get the meal is like people that grade the NFL
draft before a player stepped on the field.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
How do you know? You don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
We have to incentivize certain things in sports and certain
things in life.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's when I'm getting that. I'm Cavino.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That is ra which Danny g is on the phones
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Iowa, Sam
is here dB. Like I said, prizes this hour, so
stick around eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Now Today,
I got to give credit to our guy Jack Mack
speaking of barstool.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh you know, I have to give credit to that
little girl that seemed happy after No. One Aronauto landed
on her. Oh yeah, I watch. I was watching that
game live because it was Matt's Cardinals. No One.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Aeronado jumps into the stands, makes a great catch, almost
a llah jeterish. But there's the screen there now, so
that you know it's sort of you know, trampolinees your fall.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
A little bit. Yeah, there's a little girl and he
lands in.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Her lap and he bounces up. He's like, oh my god,
tries to give her the ball through the net. They
get it to her. This little girl's all smiles. It
could have been bad because Danny, imagine a grown man
like you or I jumping and landing on a little kid.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that's the work. Dude.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Sometimes I don't know co is trailing me, Like when
I'm walking through the house and I'll stop and he'll
boom and fall. I'm like, oh my god, and I
feel bad. Du yeah, I feel bad knocking my kid down.
I can't imagine landing on him.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Dang, didn't you jump in a giant ball pit? It
chuck e cheese and land on a kid you didn't
know he.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Was under that day.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That was back in my big eating days.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And he was like, oh man, I'm so sorry about that.
I swioch your kid. Oh mister cut off me.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I think he almost killed the kid. So got to
give credit to that girl. But also Jack Mac from Barstool,
and I said, speaking up, we had KFC on our
bonus pod recently from Barstool that's on Fox Sports Radio's
YouTube page. Check out over Promise. That was episode eighty nine.
We're on ninety now over Promise to our bonus pod.
But I heard Jack Mac talking about something that you
(04:39):
and I have brought up many, many many times before. Rich,
So I only give him so much credit because we've
talked about this so many times. But today's the day.
Today's the final day. That's what I didn't know. That's
what I'm crediting Jack Mac for the update on you know, today,
after twenty two years, is the final day of Skype.
(05:00):
I called it quits today and when you think about it,
when you were making a FaceTime sort of call, that
was your go to place for a long time. Video
calls were done in one capacity at one point of Skype, Skype.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's all we had.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Skype or FaceTime maybe right, face time came after FaceTime
came after.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Skype was the og.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, if you want to be accurate about it, I
believe Pee Wee Herman invented it.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
First.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Pee Wee Herman had that. Nobody had that video messaging.
He had that video call screen back a fair enough
before all that it was pee wee Herman. But after
Pee Wee Herman. By the way, his documentary looks really good.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It does.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
End of May, Skype was the og when it came
to video calls. So COVID came around and you would think,
all right, let's all get on Skype to talk to
our friends and family because we're all here quarantine and
coworkers and co workers. Skype that's what we had our
(05:57):
meetings on. Yeah, man, we'll skype somebody. Whatever I was
in a lite distance relationships Skype. Everything was Skype.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And then when you.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Needed video calls because we were all again quarantined, all
of a sudden, Zoom became a thing, and you're like, well,
what happened to Skype.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Here's what happened to Skype. He dropped the ball.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, so let's look about the biggest fumbles in life,
because today, after twenty two years, it's over stick a
fork in it. Skype is just a memory. It's just
an old thing that we used to use. So when
you think of other fumbles, the biggest fumbles in life,
aside from the butt fumble, which is the king of
all fumbles, I'll give you one Roger Roger Craig fumbling
(06:37):
in nineteen ninety when the Niners are trying to three
feet aside from Mark Sanchez, what are other fumbles in
life holding the extra point?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It could be, Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It could be sports related, that's fine, but it could
also be just life related or business related. Because when
you think of Skype, because Skype should have been and
could have been that brand we all went to and said,
Zoom took over out of nowhere, what were other ones
that totally blew the opportunity? I think I'll give out
the obvious one, Rich because Blockbuster is always the company
that comes to mind. I know the details and all
(07:08):
this because I am two thousands boy. I'm also on
serious xam pop two k and I've mentioned this quite
a bit over the years, the way Skype's at a
loss to Zoom and you're like, how did that happen?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You were the guy Skype? How do you let that
slip by?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
How how do you let COVID and a pandemic happen
five years ago and not be the video purs.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
This was your the moment you've been waiting for.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You would think, right, it's like right, like I almost
like that company is like one day the world's gonna
need us. And what they weren't ready? That's that's really
the bottom line. Yeah, infrastructure wasn't there, people weren't in place,
they weren't ready for the moment, and Zoom take took over.
So I'm gonna give you the two best examples that
I could think of.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And then, whether it is sports metaphorically a.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Fumble or an actual fumble the biggest fumbles of all time,
It could be an athlete that missed an opportunity, an
opportunity to buy a team or do something, and maybe
a big trade wasn't executed. The biggest quote fumble shack
Max says Skype. Not delivering in that moment or failing
in that moment is only second to maybe Falcons pats.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know what I mean in the super Bowl? How
do you blow this opportunity? Your your Skype?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You you know how they always say this things like
uh brands that are synonymous that you actually say the
brands like band aid is actually a brand, or Xerox,
Q top, Q tips, Kleenex.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You would Skype? Was what you sort of said? Skype?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna skype, you know, skit on Skype. We're
gonna Skype tonight, or we're going to skype the meeting Skype, Skype, Skype?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What was the I remember the uh sound?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But do do do do doo? Dude, dude do de
do deep No Skype? Yeah, it was you know, I'm saying,
not anymore?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Ye done?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The two that come to mind from me, Blockbuster, if
you it's it's been set in documentaries and it's you
have the you have this ound the fact?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Oh yeah, that was it? Which one was? I deal
with it?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know, maybe your own little jingle someone skyping
your head out, but you never hear that again. Yeah,
it's like that's gonna be put that in the archives
with the AOL signing on sound.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Blockbuster Blockbuster Video.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Back in the day when they had a chance to
pivot to digital, they thought their better move was no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
No late fees. They banked on that. They banked on
no late fees.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Wheneveryone there were internal people saying, like digital, we gotta
go digital, they said no, no, no, no, you know how
we're gonna We're gonna take it to the next level,
no late fees. Not only did the company lose money
at one point, Blockbuster was approached by Netflix twenty five
years ago in the early days of Netflix when you
were mailing the early days of like mailing a DVD,
(09:56):
and Netflix said, listen, if you want, you could absorb us, yes,
for fifty million dollars, And Blockbuster said, now we're good.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Everybody made it a block block Buster could have absorbed Netflix.
Everybody had the card. We were all invested.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
With their streaming and mail infrastructure, and Blockbuster could have
acquired Netflix for fifty million dollars. And Blockbuster was so
cocky and said, nah, we're good. You know this Skype story.
I bet you Blockbuster This is the best news Blockbuster
gotten a long time because Skype.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
This Skype story is just as bad. It really is.
We didn't even know what Zoom was, and all of
a sudden it was like a thing. You know what
the market cap for Netflix is today? Guess what? Four
hundred and sixty two billion, dude.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And't think of how a weak Netflix was too, Yes,
like they were they were sending DVDs to people you had.
I had to sign it too, Netflix to my Xbox
three sixty when I first got it. But you knew
that there was something digital going on, and you knew
that they're mailing DVDs. And but the simple fact that Blockbuster,
how many times have big companies acquired little companies just
(11:01):
to remain the brand leader, right like you just want
to absorb so that you are still the brand leader.
Fifty million dollars, no thanks, and Netflix is now worth
four hundred and eighty two billion dollar market cap. I
got a sports one and another one to go along
with this. When you're talking about biggest fumbles in life
or missteps however you want to describe it. For Skype
(11:22):
not to be what Zoom is today. Man, what a
disappointment twenty two years of business ended today. The classic
one has to be the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth, right, Like,
what a misstep that was because the Yankees built their
whole legacy around that guy.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Then Bets.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, there's a there's a lot of classic examples, you know,
in sports history, certain people were passed on. There's always
classest classic examples there. I mean, I think every team
can name one legend that got away exactly. I mean
you could say the Mets Nolan Ryan, the Mets whatever,
get out of here, Nolan Ryan. The Red Sox got
(12:03):
David Ortiz because the Twins were like the Twins like, yeah,
he's not even gonna start.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I mean, they didn't pass on them, but they got
rid of him. He was just in.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I think he hit eleven home runs with the Twins.
When it comes to Skype, I think of MySpace because
my Space was something great at one point social media.
MySpace never even made it to something on your phone ever,
and I thought it had such a perfect infrastructure for
(12:31):
the time because you could personalize it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You made your top eight, you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Were communicating with people, You're meeting people all over the country,
flirting with women, making friends and then all of a sudden,
you let all these bots and fake profiles infiltrate the system,
and somewhere along the line it lost its way and
Facebook took over and MySpace was gone. Danny j I
would have put you in my top day back then.
(12:55):
We're boys, Like my Space was fun, dude, that was
course to his friends through and other things.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But MySpace was huge.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, And as the meme says, we were all computer
programming our front pages.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Remember that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, we're learning coding person lines with our favorite songs.
Everybody had a certain page. It was fun. MySpace was dope.
Facebook came along.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And wiped it. But it's even worse the misstep.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's even worse than that because I know Tom sold
out and made he made some cash. Yeah, but listen,
as similar to my blockbuster Netflix story, at one point
when they were both present in the in the social
media space, Zuckerberg said, hey, listen, MySpace, if you want
to buy us, the price tag is seventy five million dollars.
(13:41):
And MySpace could have acquired Facebook another misstuff for seventy
five million dollars. Look, Tom, I hear Tom's doing just fine, yeah,
of course. And remember justin Timberlake bought my Space to
at one point to try to save it. But it
was such a great time at one point, and then
they had a chance and they blew it. To give
you the math on that, yeah, seventy five million dollars
(14:04):
MySpace said no, no, we're god.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We're good.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So Facebook, that's cute, We're good. The again market cap
for Meta which is now Facebook, Instagram and everything they
own under that Zuckerberg, which would have the guy would
have taken seventy five mili one point five trillion.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Yeah, talking about it's the richest. Meta is now the
richest company in the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But how do you think the world?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
How do you think my Space fields when when the
whoever was running MySpace at the time said no, we
don't want to acquire you for seventy five million dollars,
that might be the biggest business wonder of all time.
And by the way, on the day where Skype is done,
and it should have been everything that Zoom is today
when they had their opportunity during the pandemic, What was
(14:52):
that other one that had a chance, that had a
thing for a minute like.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
The party room? What was it called where Everyone's getting
together party?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Remember house party was a thing for a second, and
people were hopping on just to get together and have
like a social night via the computer.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Like everybody had a drink in their hand.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Everybody had a dream. Hey, I guess we'll do this.
It's kind of fun. They had their moment, but Skype
really blew it. So other missteps are biggest fumbles in life.
What else you got, Danny G.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Toys r US.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
You hear the stories about how they didn't innovate, so
they died. They did not capitalize on the online retail boom.
They dragged their feet. They didn't want to have a
big online presence. They they had a presence, but they
didn't aggressively embrace e commerce.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, they believed that, you know, kids want to come
in there and see the toys and the and the uh,
just this experience of going to Toys r.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
US exactly, And so they left the market open for
the competitors Amazon, Walmart, Target, and they fell apart.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah it's a great one. Honestly, Toys r US. You
would think, how are they going to fall apart? Now
your kids think of the toy store. You know what
they think toy stories. Going mom to Target. Yeah, a
couple of stopping at Walmart. They've got a few miles.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Let me give you one mark, Let me give you
u is all of us new parents. We wish we
could bring our kids to a real toys You remember
the thrill.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Of man toys r rush. The world's ever changing.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I'm gonna give you one fumble, but since it's baseball related,
I'll say this is a good bak.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
This is a little balk, so to speak. The Yankees.
I love this.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I don't know why. I bring it up at least
once a year. One of the greatest bargains ever. I
can I can't believe this was even real. In nineteen
seventy three, CBS, led by head executive Michael Burke, sold
the Yankees to George Steinbrowner Senior for ten million dollars.
(16:47):
Like if your early fifties, to think that the Yankees
sold in your lifetime for ten million dollars, that's insane.
To think they are now worth eight and some people
value possibly up to ten billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Is that the Yankees are worth now?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So one of the most storied expensive franchises you know,
almost were ten billion dollars. CBS just unloaded them to
a private buyer for ten mil. Your Yankees, dude, It's insane.
There's also so many classic examples of people that passed
on legendary acting roles, and that could be you. A
(17:21):
legendary opportunity you missed out on. So the biggest fumbles
in life, missed opportunities. Skype goodbye. It was nice knowing you.
You should have been everything that zoom is. You already
had a head start. Everybody had it downloaded, everybody knew
what it was, everybody had a screen name, everybody had
it on their phone. How did you mess that up?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What else comes to mind? Sports in life? Hit us
up eight seven seven ninety nine on five. Do you
ever see someone get a You ever see someone get
a chance and then the chance is taken away because
something happens personally for them before they even get a chance.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Do you remember, I'm guessing you do. Because he was
a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And a Met, and an act and a cardinal and
a lot of Texas ranger Carlos Beltron Carlos Belton was
named the manager of the Mets and then and then
his ties to the cheating astros. It made him have
to step aside, so he never got a chance to
manage a game in the majors. Yet maybe he will
(18:19):
get that chance at one point. But I think to myself, like,
that's a guy who was like, this is my dream job.
I love it, and before he started he couldn't even
do it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Eighty seven seven ninety nine h Fox, H. Let's go
to Mike in Virginia. Mike, you're all at CNR.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Hey, what's up, guys?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
One thing I can always think of in a sports
related at football is the first time the Buffalo Bills
went to the Super Bowl, led by the Jim Kelly
and Derman Thomas. That Super Bowl was literally hand you know,
hand wrapped to them and yeah, it just went why right?
That was it. And then ever since then they you know,
(18:58):
they went over four for the Super Bowl and now
they're just trying it. But that literally was they were
the best team in football.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That was the year. Listen, they played better teams.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You could argue that back to back Dallas Cowboy years
when they lost two in a row.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
To them, Cowboys were a dynasty better team.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You could argue when they lost to the Redskins better team.
But that season against the Giants, that was a Jeff
Hostetler backup quarterback. Bill's dominated. He is supposed to win
that game. That's again. In fact, the Giants found a
way to beat the Niners in the NFC Championship that year,
so the Giants weren't even designed.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
To be there. So yeah, that is a Buffalo fumble
for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I would say nineteen eighty four NBA Draft. You can't
hate on the Rockets choosing a laja On, but the
Blazers with Sam Buie's gotta be in the conversation passing
on Michael Jordan. That has to be a classic example
of oh my goodness, I don't think that's the one
you ever get over ever. No, like you have the
chance to get Michael Jordan. We get it, hindsight's twenty twelve,
(20:00):
but you had that opportunity. So Skype, we don't know
what you did wrong. But Zoom took the balls as
a as they say, took the ball and ran with it.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Who else we got, uh, Boise Caleb, you're one.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
Hey, what's up guys?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
So Covino he actually took one of mine. But Portland
actually stumbled two more times they drafted LaRue Martin over
Doctor J and then Greg Odin over Kevin Durant as well.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wow yeah that and owed him he looked like he
was forty five years old. Then hobbling around. I almost
felt like I saw that one coming.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
That was a shame, man, that was that really was
a shame. The poor guy just had bad knees too,
So yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Marley in Rochester. It's up, Marley, Marley.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
I have some things.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
One on the technological side. I live in Rochester.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
So hey, Kodak, you know, hey, what ever happened to Kodak?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Man? It was supposed to be giants in them?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I do.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I do wonder with the advent of cameras on smartphones
and now the camera on your phone is better than
any handheld camera you ever had. Do you think there
early on was an opportunity for Kodak to partner up
with an Apple or a Samsung. You think early on
they had to the league leaders. It was name recognition when.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It came to I'm sure at some point there was
a there was a moment. Sure what I mean we
used it as an adjective.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean, pitbull rhymes it twice in the same verse.
I was just gonna say that I looked it up.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It says Kodak did arguably blow a major innovation chance
by failing to adapt to the digital photography revolution.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
They failed to adapt. That's probably you know, that's the
case for so many people, just in life. Rich We've
seen people in radio refusing to adapt in their career fizzles.
Hey remember that kin who did those great countdowns or whatever. Yeah,
he refused to adapt. So that's why I never heard
of him again. You know who I thought did a
great job adapting. I've said this before, but David Letterman.
(22:06):
Letterman had the wherewithal to say, we live in a
social media world now where late night clips exist the
next day my snarky interviews and you know, top ten lists.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's time for me to retire.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
And come back in a couple of years with a
fun interview show like Letterman Reddit adapt Yeah, Letterman reads
it perfectly. I always give that guy credit for that,
because he stuck. He could have stuck around too long,
and he never did. Eric in Virginia, it's.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Up Eric.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
With the biggest fumbles.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
If I'm not mistaken, I think y'allhoo had the chance
to buy Google for a million dollars at one point.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I think you are correct in that one as well. Again,
how about Jeeves. Jeeves probably had a shot. I used
to ask him to ask Jeeves everything having a night guy.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Here's the thing, though, can I just interject this, you
don't have necessarily the direction or the division if you're
going to buy that company. Sometimes, like the people who
were running the original small company that eventually blows up,
they stay with that company and they make decisions based
on not getting acquired by a bigger company, you know
what I mean? So like maybe you don't maybe Facebook
and Meta if it was bought by MySpace doesn't come
(23:15):
up with the like button and like you know, Messenger
and stories and you know, it doesn't necessarily evolve the
way that it did just staying on its own.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So what did Zoom offer that Skype couldn't? You know?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I really think this Skype story is as colossal as
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's up there.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's up there with Blockbuster, because I think we have
a new one, because Blockbuster is always the one, Like
Blockbuster could have been Netflix, and they blew it. This
Skype opportunity, this was everything they asked.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
For, and he blew it.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Like the infrastructure was already set with Skype to help
out with COVID related.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
What did Zoom offer that Skype didn't nothing? Check out
what Yahoo had to do.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
In ninety eight they did offer what they passed up
the one million dollars they declined. In two thousand and
two they offered three billion dollars, but Google countered with
a five billion dollar request.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And now it's probably even worth it, you know, a
billion times that.
Speaker 12 (24:07):
I'll give you just a quick one a fumble recovery
if you will. Yeah, NFL remember back in the mid nineties,
the NFL is expanding. A lot of people are scratching
their head how Jacksonville ended up getting a team because
at that point it seemed there were other markets, specifically
Baltimore was a team and Saint Louis at the time.
Now we saw the Rams end up moving to Saint Louis.
(24:27):
Baltimore obviously gets the Ravens, but because those two groups
couldn't get their stuff in order, Jacksonville was ready. There's
no way the NFL puts a team in Jacksonville nowadays,
Like it just doesn't. There's absolutely no way but because
maybe Baltimore and Saint Louis didn't have everything that they needed,
Jacksonville took the opportunity and here they are thirty years later.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Dude, that really is the moral of everything we're getting
at right now. It's when opportunity knocks, you have to
be ready to answer. That's really what it comes down to.
Skype was not ready for that opportunity, even though they
everything or seem like they had everything lined up. I
have arguably the best example I'll give you next, and
it has to do with sports. I watch a great
documentary and there's it just shows you everything in sports,
(25:10):
in life. It's a matter of opportunity and really seizing
that moment. We'll get to it next, Sinko Demail, we'll
get to it next. Single to Maya Covin on to
try to hear on Fox Sports Radio. Now it's playoff time,
and if you're just watching the games, you're missing out.
With pick six from DraftKings, you could turn hoops knowledge
into real cash money. Just make your picks, track your scores,
(25:32):
and if you hit all six, you're looking at bigger
payouts than prize picks flex plays. Now, I was saying
before Covino, a couple ones you might want to look at,
might want to look at SGA. I like under thirty
two and a half, and I like the joker over
twenty six and a half, so I like that one too.
So hey, pick for yourself, nobody's dropping better payouts and
(25:52):
pick six. Hit pick six, and that's twenty five times
your cash. And if you beat your competition, you could
be looking at a five hundred times bag in your pocket.
And right now, new customers get fifty dollars in bonus picks,
which is the five dollars entry. The playoffs are on,
so why not take a shot at making a little
money while you're watching. Download the DraftKings Pick six app

I don't know, watch a classic or something. Have a
margarita right now. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
Got to ask a fan of this or do you
(27:32):
find it awkward? Table side guawk? When they make the
gualk in front of you, do you enjoy that?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You're like, oh, I'll just make it and go. Some
people get awkward about it. I like it. When the Jabbroni.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Sits in the booth with you to take your order,
You're like, yo, get out of my booth, dude, I
only thought way too comfortable.
Speaker 1 (27:50):

for get out of here pal.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
After the show, remember watch a watch a classic, enjoy
a Servesa, and check out our podcast.

we should have listened to the podcast. Search Coveno and
Rich wherever you get your podcasts and follow, rate and review,
give us five stars, say something nice, you qualify for
a swiggy and our bonus pot over promised is also available. Well,
if you want to embarrass someone on Sigo Demo, maybe
the table side gualk doesn't do it, but no, I
think everyone feels a little embarrassed when the mariachi just
(28:22):
plays right in front of you.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's always awkward.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And what it's always awkward when when Stephanie mccammahon says
Crossias Grossi as the meme goes Crosias, I want to
go on these Yeah, we need to explain if you
just joined us, thanks again for hanging out. We're still
giving away prizes. We're going to play a game real quick.
But today was the end of Skype, and it had
every opportunity in the world to be zoom and zoom
(28:46):
zoomed right past them somehow, and I started thinking some
other examples before, Like, I know he had his reasons rich,
but Dunkleman could have been Seacrest if he played his
cards right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He had.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Dunkleman had like a conscious memember. He's like, I feel
weird criticized in the Kids. Meanwhile, Seacrest like hundreds of
millions of dollars rightater, Oh my goodness. But we'll go
to your phone calls the biggest fumbles in life. I'll
blockbuster in Netflix. Let's go to Steven Charlotte. Hey, Steve,
what's up?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I got? I got two in an honorable mention for
the Giants for letting take yeah bull over a million
dollars kind of a fumble, Uh the run. It's for
moving because we were in the the playoffs every year
in the nineties. Yep, we moved to New Orleans, came
back and we ain't miss.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Hit excoose me up.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's okay, it's all good, man, you ain't been crap
since I feel you.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
We got you. Let's go to Lenny hitting.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Get his honorable mention in but oh no, that's all good.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's okay, Lenny. What's up, Bud?
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Yeah? So sorry if you guys mentioned this already, but
it was such an egregious whiff that even if you did,
it's worth mentioning twice and appropriate for the playoffs. The
Minnesota Timberwolves passing on Steph not once, but twice.
Speaker 11 (30:03):
Yeah, in the twenty nine draft.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's hard thinking back, it really is. No, they had
a chance. You know what.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
One of our favorite movies, they see the perfect movie
rich back to the Future. Yeah, I mean Eric Stultz
had that gig. He just didn't deliver. He didn't deliver
like you more may be more, Martin McFly, you more,
Michael J. Fox, and you would have been the legend
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
John in Colorado? What's up, Bud John? Yeah, you're wrong,
Go ahead quick.
Speaker 11 (30:32):
No, I was wondering if you knew Excite dot com.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Excite dot com, what about it?
Speaker 11 (30:38):
Yes, the original search engine back in nineteen ninety nine.
They could have bought Google for seven hundred thousand dollars
they posed on it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
These are things that haunt people's dreams. Horrible, These are
things that haunt your dreams. Tyrone and Riverside, what's up?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Man?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I got two places, one that refused to sell to
Best BUYE member Circuit City right Electronic place. Bought my
first thirty two inch giant tube TV there, Yeah, and
the other one. Do you remember a place called best Catalog?
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I don't, but.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
When the Internet, you'd go in and you would fill
out a card and they'd go out and they bring
your stuff down a conveyor belt like jewelry or small
furniture and things like that. And they couldn't adapt when
the Internet came along, they refused to sell out. It
was called best Catalog.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Then, so what lesson are we learning? Guys? Innovate or die? Adapt?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Adapt to adapt, Susan real quick, and they'll go to
Dann Buyer, Susan, what's your last one?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Eminem's.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
When they didn't want to have them using the movie ET, Reese's.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Took over and Eminem's, I'm sure they regretted it.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, is just fine. But you know that put like
Reese's on the map.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
That was a big win for them, in fact, that
that sold more than Eminem thought that ET was too scary,
right for the kids, or something like that, something like that.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I do think of those creepy fingers reaching out for
the for the Reese's pieces.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I got one more as we go to Dan Bayer.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I know people hate him now, but hul Cogan, you know,
he had that whole gimmick in the Wrestling Federation, the AWA.
But they were old school and they said no, no,
we want like they wanted the old guys. I saw
this in a documentary, Like you've heard names like Nick
Buckwinkle and all those old They're like, they're the champions,
not this new hul Cogan guy. And Vincemig's man's like,
we'll take them. Wait, you're gonna be on Hulk Hogan.
I bring up the garrilla. I was just gonna say
(32:37):
he could have been the George Foreman spokesman.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Oh yeah, that's all right, Dan Byer. What's going on dB?
What on dB?
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Guys?
Speaker 12 (32:43):
The big news of the day is the Baltimore Ravens
have released kicker Justin Tucker. GM Eric DaCosta called it
a football decision today. Tucker was an eight time All
Pro during his thirteen year career in Baltimore. He's been
accused of sexual misconduct by sixteen different massage therapists in
the Baltimore area, as they alleged the inappropriate actions by
Tucker took place between twenty twelve and twenty sixteen at
(33:06):
eight different spots and wellness centers. Tucker has again denied
those allegations, but the Ravens moving on from their veteran kicker.
The twenty twenty seven NFL Draft will be held in Washington,
DC on the National Mall between the US Capitol and
Washington Monuments.
Speaker 13 (33:20):
I don't think there's ever been anything like that. That's
a good idea, fic. Maybe we could use it for
other things. Also, I have an idea. It's going to
be beautiful. It's going to be something that nobody else
will ever be able to duplicate that. I don't suspect.
Speaker 12 (33:35):
President Trump making the announcement next to Commissioner Roger Goodell
and Commander's owner Josh Harris. Earlier today, ESPN says Michigan
and football coach Drown Moore will be suspended for two
games for the upcoming season the self and post penalties

investigation news from the NFL. The Rams did sound wide
receiver Britain Covey to a one year deal. The Rams
(33:57):
and quarterback Matthew Stafford finalized his content which we'll pay
him forty four million dollars in twenty twenty five. Moving
from football to basketball, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson was
just named the NBA's Coach of the Year today for
the twenty twenty four to twenty five season. Atkinson also
said that they could be shorthanded for Game two against
the Pacers tomorrow, as Evan Mobley and DeAndre Hunter were

Garland right now are officially listed as questionable for that

a great week We're gonna give away some prizes. Can
you beat Sam the champion in a grito contest?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Probably not?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well, we'll see. Plus we be rocking out. Let's go,
Covino and Rich. Not only were the fights miserable, he
had that miserable pizza experience that we talked about.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I called the pizzeria there in the commercial, no joke.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, the delivery guy delivered the pizzas like like he
was holding the trapper keeper. It's like delivering a birthday
cake sideways, Like are you serious, dude?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And that was the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I called the pizzeria and I said, I don't want
anything free. I just want you to know that I'm
a big fan of your place, one of my favorites
here in the valley. You had an Uber Eats guy
holding your pizzas vertically delivering them late. And he's like,
thanks for knowing that. He took my order number so
that he could pinpoint not to allow that guy delivering
from his place. And these businesses need to know. And
(01:37):
it's more of a life problem. It's it's a fight
problem and a life problem. I'll explain. I think the
reason that the fight stinks so hard is that they
have no incentive to fight. They're getting paid so much money.
What are they fighting for? They're just dancing around. They're
already paid. Much like your pizza. You have to tip
mich who runs this place. Yeah, was making such a
good point. He said he used to deliver pizzas, but
(01:59):
he used to be Mike cue pizzas, Mike who delivered
pizzas back in the day, would have to provide good
service to earn a tip. When you're ordering through the
third party like grub hump, they make you put the
tip in first, so you're taking away total incentive for
a good job. You already tipped them, and you know
if you don't tip them, you're gonna get even worse service,
So you as the.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Customer losing in every way possible.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I don't know, it's just the fact that we're not
giving people incentive to do a good job anymore. I
don't know what problem that became a thing. Have you
guys all noticed that too? Where you could be at
a food court, you know, ordering on a digital screen,
you could be ordering on a third party app. You're
tipping before you even know what the service is about.
That makes zero sense. And you're paying these fighters a
(02:42):
lot of money before they even deliver. Tipping before you
get the meal is like people that grade the NFL
draft before a player stepped on the field.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
How do you know? You don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
We have to incentivize certain things in sports and certain
things in life.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's when I'm getting that. I'm Cavino.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That is ra which Danny g is on the phones
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Iowa, Sam
is here dB. Like I said, prizes this hour, so
stick around eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Now Today,
I got to give credit to our guy Jack Mack
speaking of barstool.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh you know, I have to give credit to that
little girl that seemed happy after No. One Aronauto landed
on her. Oh yeah, I watch. I was watching that
game live because it was Matt's Cardinals. No One.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Aeronado jumps into the stands, makes a great catch, almost
a llah jeterish. But there's the screen there now, so
that you know it's sort of you know, trampolinees your fall.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
A little bit. Yeah, there's a little girl and he
lands in.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Her lap and he bounces up. He's like, oh my god,
tries to give her the ball through the net. They
get it to her. This little girl's all smiles. It
could have been bad because Danny, imagine a grown man
like you or I jumping and landing on a little kid.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that's the work. Dude.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Sometimes I don't know co is trailing me, Like when
I'm walking through the house and I'll stop and he'll
boom and fall. I'm like, oh my god, and I
feel bad. Du yeah, I feel bad knocking my kid down.
I can't imagine landing on him.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Dang, didn't you jump in a giant ball pit? It
chuck e cheese and land on a kid you didn't
know he.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Was under that day.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That was back in my big eating days.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And he was like, oh man, I'm so sorry about that.
I swioch your kid. Oh mister cut off me.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I think he almost killed the kid. So got to
give credit to that girl. But also Jack Mac from Barstool,
and I said, speaking up, we had KFC on our
bonus pod recently from Barstool that's on Fox Sports Radio's
YouTube page. Check out over Promise. That was episode eighty nine.
We're on ninety now over Promise to our bonus pod.
But I heard Jack Mac talking about something that you
(04:39):
and I have brought up many, many many times before. Rich,
So I only give him so much credit because we've
talked about this so many times. But today's the day.
Today's the final day. That's what I didn't know. That's
what I'm crediting Jack Mac for the update on you know, today,
after twenty two years, is the final day of Skype.
(05:00):
I called it quits today and when you think about it,
when you were making a FaceTime sort of call, that
was your go to place for a long time. Video
calls were done in one capacity at one point of Skype, Skype.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's all we had.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Skype or FaceTime maybe right, face time came after FaceTime
came after.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Skype was the og.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, if you want to be accurate about it, I
believe Pee Wee Herman invented it.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
First.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Pee Wee Herman had that. Nobody had that video messaging.
He had that video call screen back a fair enough
before all that it was pee wee Herman. But after
Pee Wee Herman. By the way, his documentary looks really good.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It does.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
End of May, Skype was the og when it came
to video calls. So COVID came around and you would think,
all right, let's all get on Skype to talk to
our friends and family because we're all here quarantine and
coworkers and co workers. Skype that's what we had our
(05:57):
meetings on. Yeah, man, we'll skype somebody. Whatever I was
in a lite distance relationships Skype. Everything was Skype.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And then when you.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Needed video calls because we were all again quarantined, all
of a sudden, Zoom became a thing, and you're like, well,
what happened to Skype.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Here's what happened to Skype. He dropped the ball.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, so let's look about the biggest fumbles in life,
because today, after twenty two years, it's over stick a
fork in it. Skype is just a memory. It's just
an old thing that we used to use. So when
you think of other fumbles, the biggest fumbles in life,
aside from the butt fumble, which is the king of
all fumbles, I'll give you one Roger Roger Craig fumbling
(06:37):
in nineteen ninety when the Niners are trying to three
feet aside from Mark Sanchez, what are other fumbles in
life holding the extra point?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It could be, Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It could be sports related, that's fine, but it could
also be just life related or business related. Because when
you think of Skype, because Skype should have been and
could have been that brand we all went to and said,
Zoom took over out of nowhere, what were other ones
that totally blew the opportunity? I think I'll give out
the obvious one, Rich because Blockbuster is always the company
that comes to mind. I know the details and all
(07:08):
this because I am two thousands boy. I'm also on
serious xam pop two k and I've mentioned this quite
a bit over the years, the way Skype's at a
loss to Zoom and you're like, how did that happen?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You were the guy Skype? How do you let that
slip by?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
How how do you let COVID and a pandemic happen
five years ago and not be the video purs.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
This was your the moment you've been waiting for.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You would think, right, it's like right, like I almost
like that company is like one day the world's gonna
need us. And what they weren't ready? That's that's really
the bottom line. Yeah, infrastructure wasn't there, people weren't in place,
they weren't ready for the moment, and Zoom take took over.
So I'm gonna give you the two best examples that
I could think of.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And then, whether it is sports metaphorically a.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Fumble or an actual fumble the biggest fumbles of all time,
It could be an athlete that missed an opportunity, an
opportunity to buy a team or do something, and maybe
a big trade wasn't executed. The biggest quote fumble shack
Max says Skype. Not delivering in that moment or failing
in that moment is only second to maybe Falcons pats.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know what I mean in the super Bowl? How
do you blow this opportunity? Your your Skype?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You you know how they always say this things like
uh brands that are synonymous that you actually say the
brands like band aid is actually a brand, or Xerox,
Q top, Q tips, Kleenex.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You would Skype? Was what you sort of said? Skype?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna skype, you know, skit on Skype. We're
gonna Skype tonight, or we're going to skype the meeting Skype, Skype, Skype?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What was the I remember the uh sound?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But do do do do doo? Dude, dude do de
do deep No Skype? Yeah, it was you know, I'm saying,
not anymore?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Ye done?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The two that come to mind from me, Blockbuster, if
you it's it's been set in documentaries and it's you
have the you have this ound the fact?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Oh yeah, that was it? Which one was? I deal
with it?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know, maybe your own little jingle someone skyping
your head out, but you never hear that again. Yeah,
it's like that's gonna be put that in the archives
with the AOL signing on sound.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Blockbuster Blockbuster Video.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Back in the day when they had a chance to
pivot to digital, they thought their better move was no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
No late fees. They banked on that. They banked on
no late fees.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Wheneveryone there were internal people saying, like digital, we gotta
go digital, they said no, no, no, no, you know how
we're gonna We're gonna take it to the next level,
no late fees. Not only did the company lose money
at one point, Blockbuster was approached by Netflix twenty five
years ago in the early days of Netflix when you
were mailing the early days of like mailing a DVD,
(09:56):
and Netflix said, listen, if you want, you could absorb us, yes,
for fifty million dollars, And Blockbuster said, now we're good.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Everybody made it a block block Buster could have absorbed Netflix.
Everybody had the card. We were all invested.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
With their streaming and mail infrastructure, and Blockbuster could have
acquired Netflix for fifty million dollars. And Blockbuster was so
cocky and said, nah, we're good. You know this Skype story.
I bet you Blockbuster This is the best news Blockbuster
gotten a long time because Skype.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
This Skype story is just as bad. It really is.
We didn't even know what Zoom was, and all of
a sudden it was like a thing. You know what
the market cap for Netflix is today? Guess what? Four
hundred and sixty two billion, dude.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And't think of how a weak Netflix was too, Yes,
like they were they were sending DVDs to people you had.
I had to sign it too, Netflix to my Xbox
three sixty when I first got it. But you knew
that there was something digital going on, and you knew
that they're mailing DVDs. And but the simple fact that Blockbuster,
how many times have big companies acquired little companies just
(11:01):
to remain the brand leader, right like you just want
to absorb so that you are still the brand leader.
Fifty million dollars, no thanks, and Netflix is now worth
four hundred and eighty two billion dollar market cap. I
got a sports one and another one to go along
with this. When you're talking about biggest fumbles in life
or missteps however you want to describe it. For Skype
(11:22):
not to be what Zoom is today. Man, what a
disappointment twenty two years of business ended today. The classic
one has to be the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth, right, Like,
what a misstep that was because the Yankees built their
whole legacy around that guy.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Then Bets.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, there's a there's a lot of classic examples, you know,
in sports history, certain people were passed on. There's always
classest classic examples there. I mean, I think every team
can name one legend that got away exactly. I mean
you could say the Mets Nolan Ryan, the Mets whatever,
get out of here, Nolan Ryan. The Red Sox got
(12:03):
David Ortiz because the Twins were like the Twins like, yeah,
he's not even gonna start.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I mean, they didn't pass on them, but they got
rid of him. He was just in.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I think he hit eleven home runs with the Twins.
When it comes to Skype, I think of MySpace because
my Space was something great at one point social media.
MySpace never even made it to something on your phone ever,
and I thought it had such a perfect infrastructure for
(12:31):
the time because you could personalize it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You made your top eight, you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Were communicating with people, You're meeting people all over the country,
flirting with women, making friends and then all of a sudden,
you let all these bots and fake profiles infiltrate the system,
and somewhere along the line it lost its way and
Facebook took over and MySpace was gone. Danny j I
would have put you in my top day back then.
(12:55):
We're boys, Like my Space was fun, dude, that was
course to his friends through and other things.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But MySpace was huge.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, And as the meme says, we were all computer
programming our front pages.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Remember that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, we're learning coding person lines with our favorite songs.
Everybody had a certain page. It was fun. MySpace was dope.
Facebook came along.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And wiped it. But it's even worse the misstep.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's even worse than that because I know Tom sold
out and made he made some cash. Yeah, but listen,
as similar to my blockbuster Netflix story, at one point
when they were both present in the in the social
media space, Zuckerberg said, hey, listen, MySpace, if you want
to buy us, the price tag is seventy five million dollars.
(13:41):
And MySpace could have acquired Facebook another misstuff for seventy
five million dollars. Look, Tom, I hear Tom's doing just fine, yeah,
of course. And remember justin Timberlake bought my Space to
at one point to try to save it. But it
was such a great time at one point, and then
they had a chance and they blew it. To give
you the math on that, yeah, seventy five million dollars
(14:04):
MySpace said no, no, we're god.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We're good.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So Facebook, that's cute, We're good. The again market cap
for Meta which is now Facebook, Instagram and everything they
own under that Zuckerberg, which would have the guy would
have taken seventy five mili one point five trillion.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Yeah, talking about it's the richest. Meta is now the
richest company in the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But how do you think the world?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
How do you think my Space fields when when the
whoever was running MySpace at the time said no, we
don't want to acquire you for seventy five million dollars,
that might be the biggest business wonder of all time.
And by the way, on the day where Skype is done,
and it should have been everything that Zoom is today
when they had their opportunity during the pandemic, What was
(14:52):
that other one that had a chance, that had a
thing for a minute like.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
The party room? What was it called where Everyone's getting
together party?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Remember house party was a thing for a second, and
people were hopping on just to get together and have
like a social night via the computer.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Like everybody had a drink in their hand.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Everybody had a dream. Hey, I guess we'll do this.
It's kind of fun. They had their moment, but Skype
really blew it. So other missteps are biggest fumbles in life.
What else you got, Danny G.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Toys r US.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
You hear the stories about how they didn't innovate, so
they died. They did not capitalize on the online retail boom.
They dragged their feet. They didn't want to have a
big online presence. They they had a presence, but they
didn't aggressively embrace e commerce.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, they believed that, you know, kids want to come
in there and see the toys and the and the uh,
just this experience of going to Toys r.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
US exactly, And so they left the market open for
the competitors Amazon, Walmart, Target, and they fell apart.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah it's a great one. Honestly, Toys r US. You
would think, how are they going to fall apart? Now
your kids think of the toy store. You know what
they think toy stories. Going mom to Target. Yeah, a
couple of stopping at Walmart. They've got a few miles.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Let me give you one mark, Let me give you
u is all of us new parents. We wish we
could bring our kids to a real toys You remember
the thrill.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Of man toys r rush. The world's ever changing.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I'm gonna give you one fumble, but since it's baseball related,
I'll say this is a good bak.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
This is a little balk, so to speak. The Yankees.
I love this.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I don't know why. I bring it up at least
once a year. One of the greatest bargains ever. I
can I can't believe this was even real. In nineteen
seventy three, CBS, led by head executive Michael Burke, sold
the Yankees to George Steinbrowner Senior for ten million dollars.
(16:47):
Like if your early fifties, to think that the Yankees
sold in your lifetime for ten million dollars, that's insane.
To think they are now worth eight and some people
value possibly up to ten billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Is that the Yankees are worth now?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So one of the most storied expensive franchises you know,
almost were ten billion dollars. CBS just unloaded them to
a private buyer for ten mil. Your Yankees, dude, It's insane.
There's also so many classic examples of people that passed
on legendary acting roles, and that could be you. A
(17:21):
legendary opportunity you missed out on. So the biggest fumbles
in life, missed opportunities. Skype goodbye. It was nice knowing you.
You should have been everything that zoom is. You already
had a head start. Everybody had it downloaded, everybody knew
what it was, everybody had a screen name, everybody had
it on their phone. How did you mess that up?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What else comes to mind? Sports in life? Hit us
up eight seven seven ninety nine on five. Do you
ever see someone get a You ever see someone get
a chance and then the chance is taken away because
something happens personally for them before they even get a chance.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Do you remember, I'm guessing you do. Because he was
a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And a Met, and an act and a cardinal and
a lot of Texas ranger Carlos Beltron Carlos Belton was
named the manager of the Mets and then and then
his ties to the cheating astros. It made him have
to step aside, so he never got a chance to
manage a game in the majors. Yet maybe he will
(18:19):
get that chance at one point. But I think to myself, like,
that's a guy who was like, this is my dream job.
I love it, and before he started he couldn't even
do it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Eighty seven seven ninety nine h Fox, H. Let's go
to Mike in Virginia. Mike, you're all at CNR.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Hey, what's up, guys?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
One thing I can always think of in a sports
related at football is the first time the Buffalo Bills
went to the Super Bowl, led by the Jim Kelly
and Derman Thomas. That Super Bowl was literally hand you know,
hand wrapped to them and yeah, it just went why right?
That was it. And then ever since then they you know,
(18:58):
they went over four for the Super Bowl and now
they're just trying it. But that literally was they were
the best team in football.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That was the year. Listen, they played better teams.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You could argue that back to back Dallas Cowboy years
when they lost two in a row.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
To them, Cowboys were a dynasty better team.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You could argue when they lost to the Redskins better team.
But that season against the Giants, that was a Jeff
Hostetler backup quarterback. Bill's dominated. He is supposed to win
that game. That's again. In fact, the Giants found a
way to beat the Niners in the NFC Championship that year,
so the Giants weren't even designed.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
To be there. So yeah, that is a Buffalo fumble
for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I would say nineteen eighty four NBA Draft. You can't
hate on the Rockets choosing a laja On, but the
Blazers with Sam Buie's gotta be in the conversation passing
on Michael Jordan. That has to be a classic example
of oh my goodness, I don't think that's the one
you ever get over ever. No, like you have the
chance to get Michael Jordan. We get it, hindsight's twenty twelve,
(20:00):
but you had that opportunity. So Skype, we don't know
what you did wrong. But Zoom took the balls as
a as they say, took the ball and ran with it.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Who else we got, uh, Boise Caleb, you're one.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
Hey, what's up guys?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
So Covino he actually took one of mine. But Portland
actually stumbled two more times they drafted LaRue Martin over
Doctor J and then Greg Odin over Kevin Durant as well.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wow yeah that and owed him he looked like he
was forty five years old. Then hobbling around. I almost
felt like I saw that one coming.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
That was a shame, man, that was that really was
a shame. The poor guy just had bad knees too,
So yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Marley in Rochester. It's up, Marley, Marley.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
I have some things.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
One on the technological side. I live in Rochester.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
So hey, Kodak, you know, hey, what ever happened to Kodak?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Man? It was supposed to be giants in them?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I do.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I do wonder with the advent of cameras on smartphones
and now the camera on your phone is better than
any handheld camera you ever had. Do you think there
early on was an opportunity for Kodak to partner up
with an Apple or a Samsung. You think early on
they had to the league leaders. It was name recognition when.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It came to I'm sure at some point there was
a there was a moment. Sure what I mean we
used it as an adjective.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean, pitbull rhymes it twice in the same verse.
I was just gonna say that I looked it up.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It says Kodak did arguably blow a major innovation chance
by failing to adapt to the digital photography revolution.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
They failed to adapt. That's probably you know, that's the
case for so many people, just in life. Rich We've
seen people in radio refusing to adapt in their career fizzles.
Hey remember that kin who did those great countdowns or whatever. Yeah,
he refused to adapt. So that's why I never heard
of him again. You know who I thought did a
great job adapting. I've said this before, but David Letterman.
(22:06):
Letterman had the wherewithal to say, we live in a
social media world now where late night clips exist the
next day my snarky interviews and you know, top ten lists.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's time for me to retire.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
And come back in a couple of years with a
fun interview show like Letterman Reddit adapt Yeah, Letterman reads
it perfectly. I always give that guy credit for that,
because he stuck. He could have stuck around too long,
and he never did. Eric in Virginia, it's.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Up Eric.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
With the biggest fumbles.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
If I'm not mistaken, I think y'allhoo had the chance
to buy Google for a million dollars at one point.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I think you are correct in that one as well. Again,
how about Jeeves. Jeeves probably had a shot. I used
to ask him to ask Jeeves everything having a night guy.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Here's the thing, though, can I just interject this, you
don't have necessarily the direction or the division if you're
going to buy that company. Sometimes, like the people who
were running the original small company that eventually blows up,
they stay with that company and they make decisions based
on not getting acquired by a bigger company, you know
what I mean? So like maybe you don't maybe Facebook
and Meta if it was bought by MySpace doesn't come
(23:15):
up with the like button and like you know, Messenger
and stories and you know, it doesn't necessarily evolve the
way that it did just staying on its own.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So what did Zoom offer that Skype couldn't? You know?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I really think this Skype story is as colossal as
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's up there.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's up there with Blockbuster, because I think we have
a new one, because Blockbuster is always the one, Like
Blockbuster could have been Netflix, and they blew it. This
Skype opportunity, this was everything they asked.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
For, and he blew it.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Like the infrastructure was already set with Skype to help
out with COVID related.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
What did Zoom offer that Skype didn't nothing? Check out
what Yahoo had to do.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
In ninety eight they did offer what they passed up
the one million dollars they declined. In two thousand and
two they offered three billion dollars, but Google countered with
a five billion dollar request.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And now it's probably even worth it, you know, a
billion times that.
Speaker 12 (24:07):
I'll give you just a quick one a fumble recovery
if you will. Yeah, NFL remember back in the mid nineties,
the NFL is expanding. A lot of people are scratching
their head how Jacksonville ended up getting a team because
at that point it seemed there were other markets, specifically
Baltimore was a team and Saint Louis at the time.
Now we saw the Rams end up moving to Saint Louis.
(24:27):
Baltimore obviously gets the Ravens, but because those two groups
couldn't get their stuff in order, Jacksonville was ready. There's
no way the NFL puts a team in Jacksonville nowadays,
Like it just doesn't. There's absolutely no way but because
maybe Baltimore and Saint Louis didn't have everything that they needed,
Jacksonville took the opportunity and here they are thirty years later.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Dude, that really is the moral of everything we're getting
at right now. It's when opportunity knocks, you have to
be ready to answer. That's really what it comes down to.
Skype was not ready for that opportunity, even though they
everything or seem like they had everything lined up. I
have arguably the best example I'll give you next, and
it has to do with sports. I watch a great
documentary and there's it just shows you everything in sports,
(25:10):
in life. It's a matter of opportunity and really seizing
that moment. We'll get to it next, Sinko Demail, we'll
get to it next. Single to Maya Covin on to
try to hear on Fox Sports Radio. Now it's playoff time,
and if you're just watching the games, you're missing out.
With pick six from DraftKings, you could turn hoops knowledge

every opportunity in the world to be zoom and zoom
(28:46):
zoomed right past them somehow, and I started thinking some
other examples before, Like, I know he had his reasons rich,
but Dunkleman could have been Seacrest if he played his
cards right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He had.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Dunkleman had like a conscious memember. He's like, I feel
weird criticized in the Kids. Meanwhile, Seacrest like hundreds of

Minnesota Timberwolves passing on Steph not once, but twice.
Speaker 11 (30:03):
Yeah, in the twenty nine draft.
Speaker 1 (30:05):

Best BUYE member Circuit City right Electronic place. Bought my
first thirty two inch giant tube TV there, Yeah, and
the other one. Do you remember a place called best Catalog?
Speaker 1 (31:16):

Speaker 4 (31:19):
When the Internet, you'd go in and you would fill
out a card and they'd go out and they bring
your stuff down a conveyor belt like jewelry or small
furniture and things like that. And they couldn't adapt when
the Internet came along, they refused to sell out. It
was called best Catalog.

Took over and Eminem's, I'm sure they regretted it.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, is just fine. But you know that put like
Reese's on the map.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
That was a big win for them, in fact, that
that sold more than Eminem thought that ET was too scary,
right for the kids, or something like that, something like that.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I do think of those creepy fingers reaching out for
the for the Reese's pieces.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I got one more as we go to Dan Bayer.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I know people hate him now, but hul Cogan, you know,
he had that whole gimmick in the Wrestling Federation, the AWA.

we want like they wanted the old guys. I saw
this in a documentary, Like you've heard names like Nick
Buckwinkle and all those old They're like, they're the champions,
not this new hul Cogan guy. And Vincemig's man's like,
we'll take them. Wait, you're gonna be on Hulk Hogan.

other things. Also, I have an idea. It's going to
be beautiful. It's going to be something that nobody else
will ever be able to duplicate that. I don't suspect.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
