(05:07):
But back to the phone calls, pac Man, I'm telling you,
if you didn't live it, please believe me huge. I
remember just being blown away the first time I saw it.
And you know, actually I was such a spoiled kid,
but my dad worked in the vending industry.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah. I had a misspack Ran machine when I was
a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I bet you did.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I did.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I was like the Mexican Ricky Schroeder the living room. Yeah,
it's like silver Spoons Vato style. But anyway, it's one
of those games that you do want to go back
in and relive and remember because we had never seen
anything like that before. Atari before these arcade games, would
you have like Pong and a bunch of bs?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Do you remember when pac Man had the sit down
version of the video game where.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, listen, we had one of those at the iHeart
in New York, Danyerg, like twenty years ago, and in
between songs, we'd all jump out there and play in between.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Ah, that's that's really cool.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I remember being a really really small kid and me
and my older brother we would look inside a teen
center that was in our city here in southern California.
I wish we could go in there because we saw
the teenagers playing pac Man while they were sitting down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
All the young eighties bullies and teenagers trying to steal
your quarters and jump in on your game. Whether you
were at Showbiz Pizza place or the arcade or your
hobby shack Rich buying baseball cards. You said they had
video games there or the bowling alley was always great
for arcade games.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
What about Noah's Arcade?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, if you can go back to Noah's Arcade, which
one would it be?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
No event interview.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I know DANNYG has a really great answer. I like
your answer a lot, DANNYG. So I'm trying to think
of a different even.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Even better than mine.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And before me if you're just joining us now at
the end of last hour, I said for me being
more of a kid at late eighties early nineties, man, when.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
NBA jam that was a four player.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
By the way, Yeah, all these people say, you know
around there's a lot of pressure as a little eighties
kid because all these people were watching you play, right,
waiting for the next game.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah, another multiple player arcade game, Rich, where me and
my brother and cousin would take turns and we would
use pencils pens popsicle sticks to hit two buttons at
the same time. Track and Field, Oh yeah, absolutely, that
was that. We spent hours on that damn stand up
video game. And then the one at home and this
I probably have the best memories of unwrapping this one.
(07:25):
Punch Out. Dude, you could not wait to get that
out of the package.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Honestly, I think you stole my answer, Danny g And
it was a two pronged answer because if I was
gonna go back to the Arcade, and I mentioned this
to Rich and Spot recently, I remember all the Arcade games.
I was such an arcade kid, and I loved playing
all these games. The one that stood out the most
to me, even before Dragon's Layer, which was like crazy
(07:51):
graphics for the time, Remember that was regular punch Out
and the sounds that went with it, the arcade sounds
of body blow, body blow, body blow, upper cut, uppercut,
great fighting, You're an up and coming boxer, the whole
thing of Glass Joe and all these characters before Tyson
was incorporated into the Nintendo, the Arcade version, and then
(08:12):
when the Nintendo version came out, that was one of
those like.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oh man, I got it, gotta have it. You gotta
have that.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
And I remember we bothered our mom for months and
we weren't the first on our street to have it,
so we were jealous of everyone who had it. So
when she finally got enough money to get that for us,
you know, because she was a single mom at the time,
we were beyond excited to take that out of the
packaging and.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The Nintendo version, Mike Tyson's version, the graphics at the time,
you thought were the greatest thing ever. So I would
love to go back and relive that if I could,
because I just remember how I was mesmerized by that game,
and I showed rich on home video of me the
first time I fought Mike Tyson on the game. I
finally got there. My dad recorded it. So what was
(08:57):
that moment for you? And we'll go around the room,
we'll take your phone call.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
What up?
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Dan Byer Techmo super Bowl on the Nintendo was the
biggest because the first tech Mobile that came out didn't
have all the teams, but this one not only did
it have the teams that had the little pixel graphic of.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The helmet and the select screen. Den Bayer such, I
know you think you're it could be no guy.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
But Jabino and I for years have when we talk
about the love of Techmobil, I always say, no, no, no,
Techmo super Bowl is the far superior Nintendo game.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Absolutely, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So when I think in my mind tech Mobile, I'm
actually thinking Techmo Super Yes, And I a lot of
times in the past incorrectly said super tech Mobile.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's Techmo Super Yeah. I did the same thing.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
But to be able to play a full season, go
through the weeks, have a playoff setup, it was.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It's the little kids dream that loves schedule watching like
you and I. You know, these are all great answers
if you can go back and of it for the
first time. Danny G did you give your answer because
I thought you were.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Gonna say something, Oh, the stand up arcade game. Yeah,
my first memory of ever going to an arcade. I
was mesmerized by Pole Position.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I remember being at Foton, which is a laser tag
place growing up, and they had a pole Position there
and that was like, you're almost intimidated to step up
and play that game, and it looked.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So cool, especially seeing the older kids play it. Dude
at the time, because they had tried yeah, exactly. We
didn't know how to drive. We didn't know what we
were doing. We didn't know what we were doing with
the stick shift. But watching the older kids do it,
we wanted to try that too. And I remember leaving
that arcade thinking to myself, if I could have a
handheld version of that in the car right now with
my mom, I would play that game forever.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Well, you had Pole Position, you had rad Race or
two right for your Nintendo, but Pole Position arcade game
was definitely one of those games that everyone was just
trying to get in line to play. There was not
a great arcade where I grew up, so arcade games
for me were video. They had a barcade games at
the baseball car shop, and they always had a few
at the bowling alley. And I remember at the bowling
(11:06):
alley and I'll throw one more out there and then
we'll take your phone calls at the bowling alley.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
By the way, start with Daniel in Missouri. He worked
at a bowling alley.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
When when you're at the bowling I remember, I remember
remember the ball washer and they always had the crappy pizza.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You were the ball washer. You want to be my
ball washer.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I remember, I'll give you just one phrase and
you'd be like, oh yeah, finish Mortal Kombat, dude, Mortal
Kombat came out and you'd be like the next level
facing you next everyone put their quarter up because you're like,
who's next level? And you had to figure out your fatalities.
I'll give you a memory you probably forgot, Danny g
you'll remember this.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Wait, hold on, was that a sound effactor?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I was Sam?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That was Io Sam. He's good at that. Yeah, that
was pretty good, Sam. It was a good impression. But
you would have your quarter up, like Rich said, but
there would be little little hood rat rugrat kids that
would be going around every machine just trying to see
if there was quarters in the slots, trying to steal
(12:07):
your quarters. I mean till this day, if you see
a payphone, your checker. Yeah, so all right, let's go
to the phones. If you can go back on the
anniversary of Pac Man nineteen eighty, go back and relived
this experience for the first time. What video game would
you choose forty five years ago? Daniel and Missouri? What's up,
buddy boy?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Hey, what's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
All right, Yeah, so my answer has changed for about
nine times.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Since I was listening to you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But I think like hanging on like the single mom vibe,
and like I was an only child, so like games
were really important to me, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So, like, uh,
I think for me John Madden's Sports Talk Football with
Joe Montana, I mean, who God.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
That was a changer for me.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Like you could like you were talking about Techno super Bowl,
you could go in, you.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Could change the rosters.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You had all these statistics and everything. Man, It's just
it made life good for me.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, playing at home was a big deal. Yeah, it
was a different level and you were obsessed with it
and it was a fun part of your childhood.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But putting your initials up on the arcade, let's not
forget about the bragging right that was involved with your
initials making the top three, top five on the actual
arcade game. If I could put a little S A
C in there for Steven Anthony Cavino, the sack Man,
those were bragging rights. Dude, I was the King of
kom But you're stephen A. Steven, I'm the real stephen A.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
There was also nothing like getting your skin of your
hand pinched playing centipede.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
O talk about the battle scolars about tell a little
later in our life, Dan, I had a buddy who
sliced his whole hand open playing pub What is it?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
What's the golf top?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Gold?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He did like a.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Slice.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It's a different conversation for another day. But when Rich
and I first met started hanging out, we'd be at
local bars in Hoboken, New Jersey, playing like Buck Hunter
with the Hunter and Golden Team, with the games they
had there. Yeah, but that was a different era in
a different time.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
That's like when we finally had a gun at home
for duck Hunt, right right, a game game changer.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Hey, you want to blow your mind, Danny G Do
you know fun fact?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I've seen this meme.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Everybody's had duck Hunt and has played duck Hunt, but
the player to control controlled the ducks. We never knew that.
No one ever even thought about it. Instructions, Are you kidding?
We really did? So let's go to the phones and continue.
If you could relive these first time moments, what game
would you pick?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Let's say, how to John and Chico? Johnny, what's up? Man?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You know what, John wanted to talk NBA.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Playoffs, But let's see if he's got a video.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Buddy, I got a video game. I spip more quarters
on defender in my life and my buddy, my god,
we'd go down to the piece of place. I mean,
that was our day, you know, and I'll never forget
one time we couldn't get our quarter out of the
dorm scene. We hit that thing. You know you have
to clonk it if.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
It didn't go all the way through.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Well, I hit that thing. That darn door came up
and there was more quarters and ball out. We just
sat there and played that thing for about eight hours.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's funny if you got if you kind of came
out in nineteen eighty one. By the way, have you
got little kids? My son is five, so we were
recently at an arcade and you know he wants to
do the race card games.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You know, remember when you were a little kid, how
bad you were because you're you would you would turn
so extreme, like exactly like you had no concept of
like a gentle turn.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's how we felt playing pole position.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
Well, speaking of race car games, one of my first
memories was cruising World, where you had both a sit
down and a stand up steering wheel, different versions. I
also loved the Simpsons video game in arcades, which was
really hard to beat.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That was a tough one. I do remember that being
tough on Youlick. Simpsons came out around the time.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
Of Yeah, it was a little it was in the
nineties because I was, you know, I'm younger, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Do you remember Rampage?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Do you remember that game where like it was like
like a Godzilla and a King kongor just smashed from
the buildings and all right, maybe not so back to
the phones. You brought up something I just have to mention. Sure,
you and DBA, we're talking about putting your initials on
there and like the joy of that. That's why there
was a bit. There was a baseball game on Nintendo
that I thought was revolutionary.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
No one loved it. I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't hear many people talking about it. But the
Stars Baseball Stars. You were able to create your own players,
like you could make your little league team and like
this guy's fast, he has more power, like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You didn't have a baseball simulator. One thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Baseball Stars was a game that I thought was underrated,
all right, Well, since you brought it up, and my
answer was punch Out for Arcade and Nintendo. I remember
clear as day. I feel like I was in like
fourth or fifth grade. I feel I was like maybe
in fifth grade. I was in great school where I
was hanging out a great school friend's house and we're
in his basement playing playing Tiglesticks, were playing. We were
(16:54):
playing Tiglesticks. We were playing, uh Nintendo, and everyone's just
trying to get in on the game. And I remember
he had a cartridge that was shaped like no other
cartridge in the collection and put it in and it
was a baseball game. And it's still till this day
my favorite game, and I have it in a handheld
version and I still play every other night. But I
(17:16):
remember seeing the fireworks when you hit a home run,
and that game, honestly is still my favorite. RBI Baseball
punch Out is my is my answer, But RBA Baseball
might be my favorite game, and I remember seeing it
for the first time.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Like I know you'll, I know you disagree.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I was it RB I Baseball or RB I's baseball.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, it's rb I, It's RB I Baseball. I was
I was a bigger fan of Bases Loaded. To be honest,
I know you weren't. Bases Loaded had better graphics, but
the game sucked. So let's go back to the calls. Uh,
Steven and Spokane spoken, what up?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Man?
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (17:51):
So someone just said my answer the same sentence, but
I'm gonna go with a backup in It's NFL bitch
fl Bach. You just throw the football all the way
down the field and square a touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, Blitz was fun.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
There was a football game I s played all the time,
but it was like robots that played. It was an
arcade game. I'm trying trying to look that up. Thanks
for the call, man. Who else do we got? That
is our buddy Trip in Vegas?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Who are talking about mutant league football? I'm gonna look
it up, Sammy. I'm a framed poster of Mutant League football.
Speaker 2 (18:22):

up Adam?
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Haao?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And Rich?
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Hey, how's it going? So I got a few you
mentioned Dragons player that was classic ten yard fight. Spent
a lot of quarters on that Zakson, which had like
the three D graphics, had a forty five degree angle,
which was really cool at the time. But I got
to go back to Cabably nineteen eighty two, walking into
(19:31):
the dimly lit arcade at the Valley Plaza in Bakersfield, California.
Crazy Climber and this is an obscure game with two handles,
and you're like a little guy trying to climb up
the skyscraper while they're throwing pots at your head and
King Kong at the top with the wires.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
You guys, remember, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I'm not sure I remember it, but yeah, looks it
looks like a you know, a classic game. I'm not
sure I remember that, but dude, you hit the nail
on the head. I was just talking about home movies
that I've been looking through. Everything was so dimly lit
in the eighties Man, and then and before that. I'm
sure there was some sketch things every home videos, like yo,
did someone have the lights on or what? In contrary,
(20:13):
I feel like anything from the nineties is over lit.
Probably we're too many neon lights. Yeah, we're leaning into
it because we lived through the dim dark ages. Yeah,
we overcompensated. It was like, yeah, it's all dim in
the eighties. I mean, we're ninety fluorescent lights now. By
the way, the reason we're talking about is today marks
the forty fifth anniversary pac Man made its debut in
(20:35):
video game f J did hop on.
Speaker 1 (20:38):

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I let me some burn ends. What's up?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Man?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I used to work Bull and Alley extra money in
the arcade Back in the day. It was Contra and
I don't.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
Want to be like I was saying and give everything away.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
But the end of my time there was Double Dragon
and second Double.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Dragon was a big one. Double Dragon, Yeah, Dragon and Contra.
Every game.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He called out, I was say, yes, yes, great, every
game he mentioned I loved.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I agree, and you know.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I w was Sam dumped it though. That's a good movie.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, no, I didn't the Contra code.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Do we all still remember that?
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, be a
select start for two players.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Let's go, what was the what was the Tyson code?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Smarty Pants double O seven three seven three five nine
sixty three.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's to get to Mike d Man. You must have
got all the girls I got.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
So how does your brain remember that? You know, there's
this valuable information that Green can't hold because it's holding
those codes.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I'm a special boy, Sam, that's why. Yeah, And he
knows that but the last book he read was Where
the Wild Things Are? Yeah, alright on in Maine.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
What up? Hoff?
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Hey guys, this is an awesome topic, thanks man. So
I'm gonna go way back. We actually had an Activision
arcade right near where I grew up and spy Hunter
back in the day, a line across.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oyal slick dude smoke screens.
Speaker 10 (22:20):
Ye sports game was Our Tribals.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Of course, I love that that was. That was a
bowling game, bowling alley game for me. That's where the
basketball heyers. The dude had a mohawk, right and you
justund our Rivals was a good one. I used to
love to play that game. And for the record, if
you keeping score at home, I was saying, was right.
Mutant Mutant League football was when I played a lot
at the arcade too. I just forgot the name of it.
(22:52):
A great call, man, I appreciate. I feel like we
got all the good answers, even though the phones are
all lit. Could anyone name their greatest video game disappointment?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
What game we like? This stinks because you.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Just weren't good at it, Danergy. For me, I was
a big wrestling fan as a kid. Hul Kogan, Macho Man,
Andre the Giant, the first like w w F wrestling
game on Nintendo stunk. There was one called Tag Team
Wrestling for Nintendo was stunk. I was a big arcade
Matt Mania fan at the arcade.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I remember everyone, all the kids at school talking about
that game paper Boy, and I'm like, Oh, I can't
wait to try this, And then I was like, I
didn't like it. Doom. I took my butt to the
Star Wars stand up arcade game. Remember that one? You
had to drop the missile at the perfect time. What
(23:46):
about the do I remember all of them? The typical
a love tron one tron looked really cool. I always
like was intimidated by it, scared of that game.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Wasn't there some type of a short docu series or
documentary about the et video game and how they're all
buried somewhere? Yeah, in Mexico, it is notoriously known to
be the worst Atari game ever, and it sort of
like ended the whole phase and they ended up over
manufacturing them and they buried them in a in a
what would you even call it?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
So you mean in you know, a million years?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
When when when civilization's gone some new civilizations because they're
gonna be like TV, you.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Know, who's kind of forgotten.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Like like I was saying, before Super Marios everything, I
thought pac Man would be right because pac Man was
the the iconic character. Froger was pretty big too. Back then,
Froger was huge. Yeah, a big, big game. I would
say the faces.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Of video games.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
If you were to talked about generations, like you know,
you could you could do the faces of quarterbacks in
the NFL or you know, NBA stars through the generations.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I would say that like a Mount Rushma. I would say, like.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Pac Man, super Mario, sonic, and then it just became
more like first person like call duty and like those
type of things.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
But as far as ye, who's that fourth, that's a
good one. I don't know who the fourth is.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
But to your point about Froger, I felt like Froger
was like pac Man was one, and Froger and Donkey
Kong were like the silver and bronze.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, you know, like of that era just that.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
I mean, obviously super Mario bigger than those two, but
I felt like Frogger and Donkey Kong were the I agree,
you know to pac Man.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And that was the first time we were introduced to
Mario and Donkey Kong. I was gonna say, maybe for
lack of someone else, pac Man, Mario Sonic, maybe unless
you can think of something else. Donkey Kong also appeared
in the Mario Brothers movie. If you saw that with
your kids, fantastic, Like Donkey Kong's part of that Mario world. Now, So,
I don't know, it's an interesting one because right, it's
(25:45):
got to be pac Man, Mario and Sonic. Those are
like the faces of different brands and everything.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
And by the way, pac Man was so big. There's
been over thirty spinoffs of pac Man. Yeah, that's insane, insane.
Who's that fourth one?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Bloking?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Maybe it is Donkey Kong? All right, so wrap it
up with a few more phone calls, celebrate in pac Man.
We'll wrap it up on the other side with your
phone calls. Here, you've brought it up. Is a crash
bandicoot or some weird house ps two? Yeah, that was
a big one.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, I played all three or four different What is
the other one? It's like some of that's snot or
something hold on about Banjo Kazui Banjo KAZUOI. Yeah, but
there's another one. It's like earthworm and something in earthor
earthworm gym, and but what was it an earthworm gym.
There's someone else.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's more someone an earthworm gym. I remember that was
like they tried to make that happen. Well, then it
can't be that great, I know. But you when when
I was, Sam says that he's not making the mount rushmore.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, I guess sure.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
All right, so the rest of your phone calls, we'll
do it next again right here on the world famous
Covino and Rich show, Hangtight. We are Cavino and Enrich
(27:04):
live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
Speaker 1 (27:05):

You could check that out and our bonus pod over
promised later today we'll give you even more details on
our Vegas party. June twentieth and the twenty first in
Las Vegas circa The Place to be again. Over promised
episode ninety three, a brand new episode. We'll do it
in about twenty something minutes. You know what else we're
gonna talk about?
Speaker 4 (27:44):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Well, today's the anniversary of pac Man is also the
anniversary of one of the, if not the most iconic
sports photo of all time. So what are those other
sports photos you speak of?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Ali? It has to do with Ali.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
We'll do that on over promised Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
But we were playing Eminem coming Back, Danny g. He
was playing with jelly Roll, right.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, jelly Roll how to sold out show at Ford
Field in Detroit, and his team convinced Eminem to come
as a special guest. And there's a cool viral clip
going around where Jelly Roll's saying, man, it's a dream
come true. I don't believe he's going to come on
stage until they tell me in my airpiece he's here.
He's here, And then you see the moment where they
(28:29):
tell him that Eminem has arrived and he comes out
on stage.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Dude, it was so cool because he starts doing Lose
Yourself and then halfway through slim Shady himself strolls out
and this place goes not super cool. If you haven't
seen it yet, definitely check it out. Now before we
talk about mon Soto and mommy makeovers. Oh, I don't
know if we're going to get to all that. I know, Well,
we got over promised. Let's wrap up with your phone calls.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Oh the studio lines have been melting.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh yeah, it's really people love reminiscent nostalgia and we
all grew up and the explosion of these video games,
and it all started, for the most part with pac Man,
and that came out on this day in Japan nineteen eighty.
So if you can go back in time to experience
those moments again for the first time, what would it
(29:14):
be now to tie it back to sports? You know
what the epitome of awesome graphics was at one point
in our life. And it's so funny to look back
on Dan Byron. I'm sure you remember Danny g. You'll
probably remember Iowa Sam. You were busy playing Earthworm Gym
or whatever. You're playing Marvel Marvel Madness or whatever. You're
got the worm Gym. But when Double Dribble, by the way,
(29:36):
he came he has no partner. It's just I thought
it was like someone an Earthworm gym when swirm Rich
messed it up. But do you guys remember seeing for
the first time the epitome of awesome graphics when Double
Dribble Double, when it went into the slam dunk mode,
(29:57):
you were like, it was almost like the Techo Jersey.
It was almost similar to the tech Bobil High five,
but it was even cooler because it was like completely changed.
The slam dunk went in and you would miss, you
would break the slam dunk and the graphics at that time.
When you see him now, it's laughable. You see him
with your kids like kids. This was what was considered amazing,
(30:20):
which is I love the graphic of Tom Brady from
a couple of years ago is like, this is how
long Tom Brady's been playing and it was his first
football video game, and then it was like, you know,
Madden twenty three or whatever, the noble Dribble Dole Dribble.
So let's wrap it up with your phone calls Little Crossfire,
which means why say your name, say what's up and
(30:41):
make it snappy?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right, what's your game? L pass o'manny, what's up?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Man?
Speaker 7 (30:48):
Was Big Dug?
Speaker 9 (30:49):
Nintendo Does at Home was two of them, Batman and
teenage meeting Nika Turtle where he was all four Turtle.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That was cool, Ninja Turtles was dope, Chris and Columbus.
What's up Man?
Speaker 7 (31:00):
All right?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Love watch Man? You had mentioned the robot football game.
I believe it was called Cyberball and you could upgrade
your quarterback theory very fast. But he would smoke.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'm looking that up now because I do remember playing
a lot of these games and the previous caller that said,
oh yeah to yes. You know what, Now, I'm confused
if I played cyber Ball or Mutant League football. They're
like the same game. But the call I said, dig Doug.
It made me think of Cubert and how big Kubert
was at one point. But you know, if I had
that one wish Danny g to go back in time,
(31:35):
it wouldn't be my answer.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
It would still be punching.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It'd have to be like an iconic mouth dropping moment
of no Way Ray in Northern Cali.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Hey Ray, Hey guys, I just got to shout you out.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Rich.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
You dated the girl from the Threat Farm documentary.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I did a lot of girls.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Man.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Yeah, I mean, I dude, my game was as.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah, you know, I would say, I'm a lot of
people Rob Indiana.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Oh, by the way, you dated Jamel Hill. That's pretty wild.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Being the kind of the milestone. I'm fifty six. I
remember the launch of ball video games, but I remember
Pong being really the first thing that stood out, and
then the Acardi twenty six hundred comes out, the clicko,
the in television, and you start getting you know, Space Invaders,
Asteroids and Missile Command. I remember I went to a party,
a birthday party at a pizza place, and they said
(32:31):
there's gonna be games there, so I think at Bozo Buckets, Monopoly.
I never heard of the video game. I walk in
this back room and I see, you know, a pinball
machine and these things I never saw before. This was
before pac Man, but Space Invaders was the one that
really kind of changed and seig the whole games. You know,
we don't think about it much anymore, but when pac
Man came out, that was that was the game changer
(32:52):
of all time. Everything started to go with that. But
before that, I'd had to put Pong in Space Evaders
on that mount Rushmore, followed by pac Man.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Space Move Forward.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, Space Invaders was definitely a huge game. Phoenix was
very similar to that. My first Atari game though, jaw
dropping because to me it was like, oh my god,
I could play games at home. I was playing Atario
twenty six hundred and Commando Raid. I thought was like,
the the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Well, we
are running too late, so I just want to say,
you're allowed to name the game, and that's it. Name
(33:23):
the game. That's it, Robin Indiana.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Go, Let's go Pitfall, Pitfall, Clinton in.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
Vegas, Clint, what about seven twenty first kateboard movie?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
There you go, Matt Louisiana.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Okay, So, since I got to be quick, what was
the original name of Soda Popinski in the stand up
arcade Super punch Out?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Oh no, man, I only know Soda Popinski. I never
got that far in the arcade? What's his name?
Speaker 7 (33:51):
That was in the that was the Cold War Russians
were the enemy. It was Vodka Trunksky.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I have seen that, right, I saw?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, good trace.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Let's go to our buddy Dan Byer, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
That's all right, guys.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
The Angels have opened up a lead on the A's
ten to five in the ninth inning, as the Halos
are about to win their seventh in a row. As
for the A's, they are now losers of their last
nine if they don't put a rally together here in
the bottom of the ninth inning. Philly swept the Rockies
today to nothing. Blue Jays beat the Padres in eleven,
final score seven to six. Well, today, the Yankees only
(34:29):
needed this against the Rangers.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Baldy, here's a pitch hit well right field, backing up
Garcia on the track, looking up, it's gone.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
How about that? You're been Debos with his first home run. Wow.
The Yankees have a.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
One nothing lead only run of the game on the
Yankees Radio Network. They sweep the three games set from
Texas Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals. Tonight Panthers and
gains eight o'clock Eastern time. It's game two. Florida is
up one zero in that series. Western Conference Finals. In
the NBA, it's the Timberwolves in thunder eight to thirty
Eastern time, game to in Oklahoma City. The Nuggets named
(35:02):
interim head coach Dave Adelman is their full time head coach.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Guys back to you.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Thank you, Dan Byer, appreciate you and Rich. I guess
we'll wrap it up with Yah Soto's still struggling, but
not to worry because Mike Piazza says not to that.
Mike got thoughts, and we'll talk some mommy daddy makeovers.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
All right, All that and more.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Next Covino on Rich Fox Sports Radio. A lot of
people don't know, but Iowa Sam is the Billy Mitchell
king of Mortal Kombat. Remember that documentary The King of Kong,
Donkey Kong. That's Iowa Sam. When it comes to this,
are you in the documentary The King of Dong?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
That's Rich Day. It was up, Steve Covino, Thanks for
reminiscing with us. You're rich right.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
We got Danny g on the phones at A seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. But remember tomorrow we're gonna
be filling in for Dan Patrick. So we got to
do our Express pro Pro of the week right now.
Ready for a new job, let Express Employment Pros help.
While Express helps people in all industries find work, are
sweet spots logistics rolls and Express never charges job seekers
of face to go to expresspros dot com. And now
(36:13):
it's time for Express pros Pro the Week.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
That's my belly and.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The Express Pro Pro of the Week is Tyrese Halliburton
for obvious reasons, Everyboddy, you thought it was a premature celebration,
but nah, he ended up winning.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
His toe is online, But man, what a game.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
He got that super dooink shot and w he scored
thirty one points to help the Pacers win one thirty
eight over the nixt one thirty five. So he is
our Express Pro Pro of the week. Congrats to Halliburton.
With the game is Stephen A. Smith a little sour
by saying he's not you had a superstar he and
then people are saying, well, superstars step up in big moments.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
That's what stars do.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, and get sweet bounces like that. Yeah, yeah, celeb this, Yeah,
exactly what a game. We talked about it first hour.
If you missed it, catch to podcast now again filling
in for Dan Patrick tomorrow, So wake up with us
and real quick, right quick. Mike Piazza stood up for
Juan Soto rich and he thoughts on that Juan Soto
(37:16):
mets legend. Mike Piazza offers advice to Juan Soto. This
is according to s and Y, you gotta rely on
your teammates to have your back. Piazza says, getting booed
in the beginning made him better and it's a right
of passage of playing in New York. Well as of now,
Sotos still pounting. But yeah, will he come around. You
have to believe he will, he said. There's an adjustment period.
(37:38):
He said, it's a character builder. When Piazza first became
a Met, he was booed. People thought he was not
enthused to be there. He still wanted to be in
Los Angeles with the Dodgers and the Sunshine, and people
were in the case and people were like, yo, Piazza,
boo know the difference, and it's up being one of
the faces of the franchise of all time, and the
same about Keith Hernandez. So before they winning the way
(38:02):
the Mets are winning now so far, the proof in
the pudding was that in the mid eighties, when the
Mets started turning things around, Keith reluctantly went to the
Mets and everyone's like, you just want to be here.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
He's been part of the franchise for forty years.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Mike Piazza came to the Mets and led them a
year later to back to back playoff appearances and a
world series.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Clearly there's a pattern.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
A star comes here and if he struggles, those booze
are a rite of passage.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I'm Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Is just fine, Okay, So we're not gonna have time
to talk about mommy daddy makeovers and Britney mahomes and
things like that. It was weird though that Won Soto
looked at seven straight pitches yesterday, though I will say
that I think he's mentally just trying to find his
mojo or something. And you know, maybe we'll talk about
that on Dan Patrick's. We have that extra hour because
on over promised today our bonus podcast, we're gonna talk
(38:52):
about iconic sports photos because today's the anniversary not only
of pac Man, of the most iconics photo of all time.

(05:07):
But back to the phone calls, pac Man, I'm telling you,
if you didn't live it, please believe me huge. I
remember just being blown away the first time I saw it.
And you know, actually I was such a spoiled kid,
but my dad worked in the vending industry.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah. I had a misspack Ran machine when I was
a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I bet you did.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I did.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I was like the Mexican Ricky Schroeder the living room. Yeah,
it's like silver Spoons Vato style. But anyway, it's one
of those games that you do want to go back
in and relive and remember because we had never seen
anything like that before. Atari before these arcade games, would
you have like Pong and a bunch of bs?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Do you remember when pac Man had the sit down
version of the video game where.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, listen, we had one of those at the iHeart
in New York, Danyerg, like twenty years ago, and in
between songs, we'd all jump out there and play in between.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Ah, that's that's really cool.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I remember being a really really small kid and me
and my older brother we would look inside a teen
center that was in our city here in southern California.
I wish we could go in there because we saw
the teenagers playing pac Man while they were sitting down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
All the young eighties bullies and teenagers trying to steal
your quarters and jump in on your game. Whether you
were at Showbiz Pizza place or the arcade or your
hobby shack Rich buying baseball cards. You said they had
video games there or the bowling alley was always great
for arcade games.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
What about Noah's Arcade?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, if you can go back to Noah's Arcade, which
one would it be?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
No event interview.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I know DANNYG has a really great answer. I like
your answer a lot, DANNYG. So I'm trying to think
of a different even.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Even better than mine.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And before me if you're just joining us now at
the end of last hour, I said for me being
more of a kid at late eighties early nineties, man, when.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
NBA jam that was a four player.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
By the way, Yeah, all these people say, you know
around there's a lot of pressure as a little eighties
kid because all these people were watching you play, right,
waiting for the next game.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah, another multiple player arcade game, Rich, where me and
my brother and cousin would take turns and we would
use pencils pens popsicle sticks to hit two buttons at
the same time. Track and Field, Oh yeah, absolutely, that
was that. We spent hours on that damn stand up
video game. And then the one at home and this
I probably have the best memories of unwrapping this one.
(07:25):
Punch Out. Dude, you could not wait to get that
out of the package.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Honestly, I think you stole my answer, Danny g And
it was a two pronged answer because if I was
gonna go back to the Arcade, and I mentioned this
to Rich and Spot recently, I remember all the Arcade games.
I was such an arcade kid, and I loved playing
all these games. The one that stood out the most
to me, even before Dragon's Layer, which was like crazy
(07:51):
graphics for the time, Remember that was regular punch Out
and the sounds that went with it, the arcade sounds
of body blow, body blow, body blow, upper cut, uppercut,
great fighting, You're an up and coming boxer, the whole
thing of Glass Joe and all these characters before Tyson
was incorporated into the Nintendo, the Arcade version, and then
(08:12):
when the Nintendo version came out, that was one of
those like.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oh man, I got it, gotta have it. You gotta
have that.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
And I remember we bothered our mom for months and
we weren't the first on our street to have it,
so we were jealous of everyone who had it. So
when she finally got enough money to get that for us,
you know, because she was a single mom at the time,
we were beyond excited to take that out of the
packaging and.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The Nintendo version, Mike Tyson's version, the graphics at the time,
you thought were the greatest thing ever. So I would
love to go back and relive that if I could,
because I just remember how I was mesmerized by that game,
and I showed rich on home video of me the
first time I fought Mike Tyson on the game. I
finally got there. My dad recorded it. So what was
(08:57):
that moment for you? And we'll go around the room,
we'll take your phone call.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
What up?
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Dan Byer Techmo super Bowl on the Nintendo was the
biggest because the first tech Mobile that came out didn't
have all the teams, but this one not only did
it have the teams that had the little pixel graphic of.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The helmet and the select screen. Den Bayer such, I
know you think you're it could be no guy.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
But Jabino and I for years have when we talk
about the love of Techmobil, I always say, no, no, no,
Techmo super Bowl is the far superior Nintendo game.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Absolutely, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So when I think in my mind tech Mobile, I'm
actually thinking Techmo Super Yes, And I a lot of
times in the past incorrectly said super tech Mobile.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's Techmo Super Yeah. I did the same thing.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
But to be able to play a full season, go
through the weeks, have a playoff setup, it was.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It's the little kids dream that loves schedule watching like
you and I. You know, these are all great answers
if you can go back and of it for the
first time. Danny G did you give your answer because
I thought you were.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Gonna say something, Oh, the stand up arcade game. Yeah,
my first memory of ever going to an arcade. I
was mesmerized by Pole Position.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I remember being at Foton, which is a laser tag
place growing up, and they had a pole Position there
and that was like, you're almost intimidated to step up
and play that game, and it looked.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So cool, especially seeing the older kids play it. Dude
at the time, because they had tried yeah, exactly. We
didn't know how to drive. We didn't know what we
were doing. We didn't know what we were doing with
the stick shift. But watching the older kids do it,
we wanted to try that too. And I remember leaving
that arcade thinking to myself, if I could have a
handheld version of that in the car right now with
my mom, I would play that game forever.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Well, you had Pole Position, you had rad Race or
two right for your Nintendo, but Pole Position arcade game
was definitely one of those games that everyone was just
trying to get in line to play. There was not
a great arcade where I grew up, so arcade games
for me were video. They had a barcade games at
the baseball car shop, and they always had a few
at the bowling alley. And I remember at the bowling
(11:06):
alley and I'll throw one more out there and then
we'll take your phone calls at the bowling alley.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
By the way, start with Daniel in Missouri. He worked
at a bowling alley.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
When when you're at the bowling I remember, I remember
remember the ball washer and they always had the crappy pizza.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You were the ball washer. You want to be my
ball washer.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I remember, I'll give you just one phrase and
you'd be like, oh yeah, finish Mortal Kombat, dude, Mortal
Kombat came out and you'd be like the next level
facing you next everyone put their quarter up because you're like,
who's next level? And you had to figure out your fatalities.
I'll give you a memory you probably forgot, Danny g
you'll remember this.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Wait, hold on, was that a sound effactor?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I was Sam?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That was Io Sam. He's good at that. Yeah, that
was pretty good, Sam. It was a good impression. But
you would have your quarter up, like Rich said, but
there would be little little hood rat rugrat kids that
would be going around every machine just trying to see
if there was quarters in the slots, trying to steal
(12:07):
your quarters. I mean till this day, if you see
a payphone, your checker. Yeah, so all right, let's go
to the phones. If you can go back on the
anniversary of Pac Man nineteen eighty, go back and relived
this experience for the first time. What video game would
you choose forty five years ago? Daniel and Missouri? What's up,
buddy boy?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Hey, what's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
All right, Yeah, so my answer has changed for about
nine times.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Since I was listening to you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But I think like hanging on like the single mom vibe,
and like I was an only child, so like games
were really important to me, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So, like, uh,
I think for me John Madden's Sports Talk Football with
Joe Montana, I mean, who God.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
That was a changer for me.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Like you could like you were talking about Techno super Bowl,
you could go in, you.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Could change the rosters.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You had all these statistics and everything. Man, It's just
it made life good for me.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, playing at home was a big deal. Yeah, it
was a different level and you were obsessed with it
and it was a fun part of your childhood.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But putting your initials up on the arcade, let's not
forget about the bragging right that was involved with your
initials making the top three, top five on the actual
arcade game. If I could put a little S A
C in there for Steven Anthony Cavino, the sack Man,
those were bragging rights. Dude, I was the King of
kom But you're stephen A. Steven, I'm the real stephen A.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
There was also nothing like getting your skin of your
hand pinched playing centipede.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
O talk about the battle scolars about tell a little
later in our life, Dan, I had a buddy who
sliced his whole hand open playing pub What is it?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
What's the golf top?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Gold?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He did like a.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Slice.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It's a different conversation for another day. But when Rich
and I first met started hanging out, we'd be at
local bars in Hoboken, New Jersey, playing like Buck Hunter
with the Hunter and Golden Team, with the games they
had there. Yeah, but that was a different era in
a different time.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
That's like when we finally had a gun at home
for duck Hunt, right right, a game game changer.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Hey, you want to blow your mind, Danny G Do
you know fun fact?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I've seen this meme.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Everybody's had duck Hunt and has played duck Hunt, but
the player to control controlled the ducks. We never knew that.
No one ever even thought about it. Instructions, Are you kidding?
We really did? So let's go to the phones and continue.
If you could relive these first time moments, what game
would you pick?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Let's say, how to John and Chico? Johnny, what's up? Man?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You know what, John wanted to talk NBA.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Playoffs, But let's see if he's got a video.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Buddy, I got a video game. I spip more quarters
on defender in my life and my buddy, my god,
we'd go down to the piece of place. I mean,
that was our day, you know, and I'll never forget
one time we couldn't get our quarter out of the
dorm scene. We hit that thing. You know you have
to clonk it if.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
It didn't go all the way through.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Well, I hit that thing. That darn door came up
and there was more quarters and ball out. We just
sat there and played that thing for about eight hours.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's funny if you got if you kind of came
out in nineteen eighty one. By the way, have you
got little kids? My son is five, so we were
recently at an arcade and you know he wants to
do the race card games.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You know, remember when you were a little kid, how
bad you were because you're you would you would turn
so extreme, like exactly like you had no concept of
like a gentle turn.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's how we felt playing pole position.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
Well, speaking of race car games, one of my first
memories was cruising World, where you had both a sit
down and a stand up steering wheel, different versions. I
also loved the Simpsons video game in arcades, which was
really hard to beat.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That was a tough one. I do remember that being
tough on Youlick. Simpsons came out around the time.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
Of Yeah, it was a little it was in the
nineties because I was, you know, I'm younger, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Do you remember Rampage?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Do you remember that game where like it was like
like a Godzilla and a King kongor just smashed from
the buildings and all right, maybe not so back to
the phones. You brought up something I just have to mention. Sure,
you and DBA, we're talking about putting your initials on
there and like the joy of that. That's why there
was a bit. There was a baseball game on Nintendo
that I thought was revolutionary.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
No one loved it. I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't hear many people talking about it. But the
Stars Baseball Stars. You were able to create your own players,
like you could make your little league team and like
this guy's fast, he has more power, like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You didn't have a baseball simulator. One thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Baseball Stars was a game that I thought was underrated,
all right, Well, since you brought it up, and my
answer was punch Out for Arcade and Nintendo. I remember
clear as day. I feel like I was in like
fourth or fifth grade. I feel I was like maybe
in fifth grade. I was in great school where I
was hanging out a great school friend's house and we're
in his basement playing playing Tiglesticks, were playing. We were
(16:54):
playing Tiglesticks. We were playing, uh Nintendo, and everyone's just
trying to get in on the game. And I remember
he had a cartridge that was shaped like no other
cartridge in the collection and put it in and it
was a baseball game. And it's still till this day
my favorite game, and I have it in a handheld
version and I still play every other night. But I
(17:16):
remember seeing the fireworks when you hit a home run,
and that game, honestly is still my favorite. RBI Baseball
punch Out is my is my answer, But RBA Baseball
might be my favorite game, and I remember seeing it
for the first time.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Like I know you'll, I know you disagree.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I was it RB I Baseball or RB I's baseball.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, it's rb I, It's RB I Baseball. I was
I was a bigger fan of Bases Loaded. To be honest,
I know you weren't. Bases Loaded had better graphics, but
the game sucked. So let's go back to the calls. Uh,
Steven and Spokane spoken, what up?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Man?
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (17:51):
So someone just said my answer the same sentence, but
I'm gonna go with a backup in It's NFL bitch
fl Bach. You just throw the football all the way
down the field and square a touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, Blitz was fun.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
There was a football game I s played all the time,
but it was like robots that played. It was an
arcade game. I'm trying trying to look that up. Thanks
for the call, man. Who else do we got? That
is our buddy Trip in Vegas?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Who are talking about mutant league football? I'm gonna look

And Rich?
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Hey, how's it going? So I got a few you
mentioned Dragons player that was classic ten yard fight. Spent
a lot of quarters on that Zakson, which had like
the three D graphics, had a forty five degree angle,
which was really cool at the time. But I got
to go back to Cabably nineteen eighty two, walking into
(19:31):
the dimly lit arcade at the Valley Plaza in Bakersfield, California.
Crazy Climber and this is an obscure game with two handles,
and you're like a little guy trying to climb up
the skyscraper while they're throwing pots at your head and
King Kong at the top with the wires.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
You guys, remember, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I'm not sure I remember it, but yeah, looks it
looks like a you know, a classic game. I'm not
sure I remember that, but dude, you hit the nail
on the head. I was just talking about home movies
that I've been looking through. Everything was so dimly lit
in the eighties Man, and then and before that. I'm
sure there was some sketch things every home videos, like yo,
did someone have the lights on or what? In contrary,
(20:13):
I feel like anything from the nineties is over lit.
Probably we're too many neon lights. Yeah, we're leaning into
it because we lived through the dim dark ages. Yeah,
we overcompensated. It was like, yeah, it's all dim in
the eighties. I mean, we're ninety fluorescent lights now. By
the way, the reason we're talking about is today marks
the forty fifth anniversary pac Man made its debut in
(20:35):
video game f J did hop on.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Let's go to Dan and Casey. What's up Dan?

the arcade Back in the day. It was Contra and

Speaker 9 (21:06):
Want to be like I was saying and give everything away.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
But the end of my time there was Double Dragon

this valuable information that Green can't hold because it's holding
those codes.

I'm a special boy, Sam, that's why. Yeah, And he
knows that but the last book he read was Where
the Wild Things Are? Yeah, alright on in Maine.

Of course, I love that that was. That was a
bowling game, bowling alley game for me. That's where the
basketball heyers. The dude had a mohawk, right and you
justund our Rivals was a good one. I used to
love to play that game. And for the record, if
you keeping score at home, I was saying, was right.
Mutant Mutant League football was when I played a lot
at the arcade too. I just forgot the name of it.
(22:52):
A great call, man, I appreciate. I feel like we
got all the good answers, even though the phones are
all lit. Could anyone name their greatest video game disappointment?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
What game we like? This stinks because you.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Just weren't good at it, Danergy. For me, I was
a big wrestling fan as a kid. Hul Kogan, Macho Man,
Andre the Giant, the first like w w F wrestling
game on Nintendo stunk. There was one called Tag Team
Wrestling for Nintendo was stunk. I was a big arcade
Matt Mania fan at the arcade.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I remember everyone, all the kids at school talking about
that game paper Boy, and I'm like, Oh, I can't
wait to try this, And then I was like, I
didn't like it. Doom. I took my butt to the
Star Wars stand up arcade game. Remember that one? You
had to drop the missile at the perfect time. What
(23:46):
about the do I remember all of them? The typical
a love tron one tron looked really cool. I always
like was intimidated by it, scared of that game.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Wasn't there some type of a short docu series or
documentary about the et video game and how they're all
buried somewhere? Yeah, in Mexico, it is notoriously known to
be the worst Atari game ever, and it sort of
like ended the whole phase and they ended up over
manufacturing them and they buried them in a in a
what would you even call it?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
So you mean in you know, a million years?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
When when when civilization's gone some new civilizations because they're
gonna be like TV, you.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Know, who's kind of forgotten.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Like like I was saying, before Super Marios everything, I
thought pac Man would be right because pac Man was
the the iconic character. Froger was pretty big too. Back then,
Froger was huge. Yeah, a big, big game. I would
say the faces.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Of video games.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
If you were to talked about generations, like you know,
you could you could do the faces of quarterbacks in
the NFL or you know, NBA stars through the generations.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I would say that like a Mount Rushma. I would say, like.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Pac Man, super Mario, sonic, and then it just became
more like first person like call duty and like those
type of things.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
But as far as ye, who's that fourth, that's a
good one. I don't know who the fourth is.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
But to your point about Froger, I felt like Froger
was like pac Man was one, and Froger and Donkey
Kong were like the silver and bronze.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, you know, like of that era just that.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
I mean, obviously super Mario bigger than those two, but
I felt like Frogger and Donkey Kong were the I agree,
you know to pac Man.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And that was the first time we were introduced to
Mario and Donkey Kong. I was gonna say, maybe for
lack of someone else, pac Man, Mario Sonic, maybe unless
you can think of something else. Donkey Kong also appeared
in the Mario Brothers movie. If you saw that with
your kids, fantastic, Like Donkey Kong's part of that Mario world. Now, So,
I don't know, it's an interesting one because right, it's
(25:45):
got to be pac Man, Mario and Sonic. Those are
like the faces of different brands and everything.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
And by the way, pac Man was so big. There's
been over thirty spinoffs of pac Man. Yeah, that's insane, insane.
Who's that fourth one?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Bloking?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Maybe it is Donkey Kong? All right, so wrap it
up with a few more phone calls, celebrate in pac Man.
We'll wrap it up on the other side with your
phone calls. Here, you've brought it up. Is a crash
bandicoot or some weird house ps two? Yeah, that was
a big one.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, I played all three or four different What is
the other one? It's like some of that's snot or
something hold on about Banjo Kazui Banjo KAZUOI. Yeah, but
there's another one. It's like earthworm and something in earthor
earthworm gym, and but what was it an earthworm gym.
There's someone else.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's more someone an earthworm gym. I remember that was
like they tried to make that happen. Well, then it
can't be that great, I know. But you when when
I was, Sam says that he's not making the mount rushmore.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, I guess sure.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
All right, so the rest of your phone calls, we'll
do it next again right here on the world famous
Covino and Rich show, Hangtight. We are Cavino and Enrich
(27:04):
live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

promised later today we'll give you even more details on
our Vegas party. June twentieth and the twenty first in
Las Vegas circa The Place to be again. Over promised
episode ninety three, a brand new episode. We'll do it
in about twenty something minutes. You know what else we're
gonna talk about?
Speaker 4 (27:44):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Well, today's the anniversary of pac Man is also the
anniversary of one of the, if not the most iconic
sports photo of all time. So what are those other
sports photos you speak of?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Ali? It has to do with Ali.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
We'll do that on over promised Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
But we were playing Eminem coming Back, Danny g. He
was playing with jelly Roll, right.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, jelly Roll how to sold out show at Ford
Field in Detroit, and his team convinced Eminem to come
as a special guest. And there's a cool viral clip
going around where Jelly Roll's saying, man, it's a dream
come true. I don't believe he's going to come on
stage until they tell me in my airpiece he's here.
He's here, And then you see the moment where they
(28:29):
tell him that Eminem has arrived and he comes out
on stage.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Dude, it was so cool because he starts doing Lose
Yourself and then halfway through slim Shady himself strolls out
and this place goes not super cool. If you haven't
seen it yet, definitely check it out. Now before we
talk about mon Soto and mommy makeovers. Oh, I don't
know if we're going to get to all that. I know, Well,
we got over promised. Let's wrap up with your phone calls.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Oh the studio lines have been melting.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh yeah, it's really people love reminiscent nostalgia and we
all grew up and the explosion of these video games,
and it all started, for the most part with pac Man,
and that came out on this day in Japan nineteen eighty.
So if you can go back in time to experience
those moments again for the first time, what would it
(29:14):
be now to tie it back to sports? You know
what the epitome of awesome graphics was at one point
in our life. And it's so funny to look back
on Dan Byron. I'm sure you remember Danny g. You'll
probably remember Iowa Sam. You were busy playing Earthworm Gym
or whatever. You're playing Marvel Marvel Madness or whatever. You're
got the worm Gym. But when Double Dribble, by the way,
(29:36):
he came he has no partner. It's just I thought
it was like someone an Earthworm gym when swirm Rich
messed it up. But do you guys remember seeing for
the first time the epitome of awesome graphics when Double
Dribble Double, when it went into the slam dunk mode,
(29:57):
you were like, it was almost like the Techo Jersey.
It was almost similar to the tech Bobil High five,
but it was even cooler because it was like completely changed.
The slam dunk went in and you would miss, you
would break the slam dunk and the graphics at that time.
When you see him now, it's laughable. You see him
with your kids like kids. This was what was considered amazing,
(30:20):
which is I love the graphic of Tom Brady from
a couple of years ago is like, this is how
long Tom Brady's been playing and it was his first
football video game, and then it was like, you know,
Madden twenty three or whatever, the noble Dribble Dole Dribble.
So let's wrap it up with your phone calls Little Crossfire,
which means why say your name, say what's up and
(30:41):
make it snappy?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right, what's your game? L pass o'manny, what's up?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Man?
Speaker 7 (30:48):
Was Big Dug?
Speaker 9 (30:49):
Nintendo Does at Home was two of them, Batman and
teenage meeting Nika Turtle where he was all four Turtle.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That was cool, Ninja Turtles was dope, Chris and Columbus.
What's up Man?
Speaker 7 (31:00):
All right?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Love watch Man? You had mentioned the robot football game.
I believe it was called Cyberball and you could upgrade
your quarterback theory very fast. But he would smoke.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'm looking that up now because I do remember playing
a lot of these games and the previous caller that said,
oh yeah to yes. You know what, Now, I'm confused
if I played cyber Ball or Mutant League football. They're
like the same game. But the call I said, dig Doug.
It made me think of Cubert and how big Kubert
was at one point. But you know, if I had
that one wish Danny g to go back in time,
(31:35):
it wouldn't be my answer.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
It would still be punching.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It'd have to be like an iconic mouth dropping moment
of no Way Ray in Northern Cali.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Hey Ray, Hey guys, I just got to shout you out.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Rich.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
You dated the girl from the Threat Farm documentary.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I did a lot of girls.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Man.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Yeah, I mean, I dude, my game was as.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah, you know, I would say, I'm a lot of
people Rob Indiana.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Oh, by the way, you dated Jamel Hill. That's pretty wild.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Being the kind of the milestone. I'm fifty six. I
remember the launch of ball video games, but I remember
Pong being really the first thing that stood out, and
then the Acardi twenty six hundred comes out, the clicko,
the in television, and you start getting you know, Space Invaders,
Asteroids and Missile Command. I remember I went to a party,
a birthday party at a pizza place, and they said
(32:31):
there's gonna be games there, so I think at Bozo Buckets, Monopoly.
I never heard of the video game. I walk in
this back room and I see, you know, a pinball
machine and these things I never saw before. This was
before pac Man, but Space Invaders was the one that
really kind of changed and seig the whole games. You know,
we don't think about it much anymore, but when pac
Man came out, that was that was the game changer
(32:52):
of all time. Everything started to go with that. But
before that, I'd had to put Pong in Space Evaders
on that mount Rushmore, followed by pac Man.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Space Move Forward.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, Space Invaders was definitely a huge game. Phoenix was
very similar to that. My first Atari game though, jaw
dropping because to me it was like, oh my god,
I could play games at home. I was playing Atario
twenty six hundred and Commando Raid. I thought was like,
the the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Well, we
are running too late, so I just want to say,
you're allowed to name the game, and that's it. Name
(33:23):
the game. That's it, Robin Indiana.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Go, Let's go Pitfall, Pitfall, Clinton in.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
Vegas, Clint, what about seven twenty first kateboard movie?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
There you go, Matt Louisiana.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Okay, So, since I got to be quick, what was
the original name of Soda Popinski in the stand up
arcade Super punch Out?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Oh no, man, I only know Soda Popinski. I never
got that far in the arcade? What's his name?
Speaker 7 (33:51):
That was in the that was the Cold War Russians
were the enemy. It was Vodka Trunksky.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I have seen that, right, I saw?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, good trace.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Let's go to our buddy Dan Byer, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
That's all right, guys.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
The Angels have opened up a lead on the A's
ten to five in the ninth inning, as the Halos
are about to win their seventh in a row. As
for the A's, they are now losers of their last
nine if they don't put a rally together here in
the bottom of the ninth inning. Philly swept the Rockies
today to nothing. Blue Jays beat the Padres in eleven,
final score seven to six. Well, today, the Yankees only
(34:29):
needed this against the Rangers.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Baldy, here's a pitch hit well right field, backing up
Garcia on the track, looking up, it's gone.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
How about that? You're been Debos with his first home run. Wow.
The Yankees have a.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
One nothing lead only run of the game on the
Yankees Radio Network. They sweep the three games set from
Texas Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals. Tonight Panthers and
gains eight o'clock Eastern time. It's game two. Florida is
up one zero in that series. Western Conference Finals. In
the NBA, it's the Timberwolves in thunder eight to thirty
Eastern time, game to in Oklahoma City. The Nuggets named
(35:02):
interim head coach Dave Adelman is their full time head coach.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Guys back to you.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Thank you, Dan Byer, appreciate you and Rich. I guess
we'll wrap it up with Yah Soto's still struggling, but
not to worry because Mike Piazza says not to that.
Mike got thoughts, and we'll talk some mommy daddy makeovers.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
All right, All that and more.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Next Covino on Rich Fox Sports Radio. A lot of
people don't know, but Iowa Sam is the Billy Mitchell
king of Mortal Kombat. Remember that documentary The King of Kong,
Donkey Kong. That's Iowa Sam. When it comes to this,
are you in the documentary The King of Dong?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
That's Rich Day. It was up, Steve Covino, Thanks for
reminiscing with us. You're rich right.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
We got Danny g on the phones at A seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. But remember tomorrow we're gonna
be filling in for Dan Patrick. So we got to
do our Express pro Pro of the week right now.
Ready for a new job, let Express Employment Pros help.
While Express helps people in all industries find work, are
sweet spots logistics rolls and Express never charges job seekers
of face to go to expresspros dot com. And now
(36:13):
it's time for Express pros Pro the Week.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
That's my belly and.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The Express Pro Pro of the Week is Tyrese Halliburton
for obvious reasons, Everyboddy, you thought it was a premature celebration,
but nah, he ended up winning.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
His toe is online, But man, what a game.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
He got that super dooink shot and w he scored
thirty one points to help the Pacers win one thirty
eight over the nixt one thirty five. So he is
our Express Pro Pro of the week. Congrats to Halliburton.
With the game is Stephen A. Smith a little sour
by saying he's not you had a superstar he and
then people are saying, well, superstars step up in big moments.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
That's what stars do.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, and get sweet bounces like that. Yeah, yeah, celeb this, Yeah,
exactly what a game. We talked about it first hour.
If you missed it, catch to podcast now again filling
in for Dan Patrick tomorrow, So wake up with us
and real quick, right quick. Mike Piazza stood up for
Juan Soto rich and he thoughts on that Juan Soto
(37:16):
mets legend. Mike Piazza offers advice to Juan Soto. This
is according to s and Y, you gotta rely on
your teammates to have your back. Piazza says, getting booed
in the beginning made him better and it's a right
of passage of playing in New York. Well as of now,
Sotos still pounting. But yeah, will he come around. You
have to believe he will, he said. There's an adjustment period.
(37:38):
He said, it's a character builder. When Piazza first became
a Met, he was booed. People thought he was not
enthused to be there. He still wanted to be in
Los Angeles with the Dodgers and the Sunshine, and people
were in the case and people were like, yo, Piazza,
boo know the difference, and it's up being one of
the faces of the franchise of all time, and the
same about Keith Hernandez. So before they winning the way
(38:02):
the Mets are winning now so far, the proof in
the pudding was that in the mid eighties, when the
Mets started turning things around, Keith reluctantly went to the
Mets and everyone's like, you just want to be here.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
He's been part of the franchise for forty years.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Mike Piazza came to the Mets and led them a
year later to back to back playoff appearances and a
world series.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Clearly there's a pattern.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
A star comes here and if he struggles, those booze
are a rite of passage.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I'm Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Is just fine, Okay, So we're not gonna have time
to talk about mommy daddy makeovers and Britney mahomes and
things like that. It was weird though that Won Soto
looked at seven straight pitches yesterday, though I will say
that I think he's mentally just trying to find his
mojo or something. And you know, maybe we'll talk about
that on Dan Patrick's. We have that extra hour because
on over promised today our bonus podcast, we're gonna talk
(38:52):
about iconic sports photos because today's the anniversary not only
of pac Man, of the most iconics photo of all time.
Now when I see Muhammad Ali's involved, can you picture
the one we're talking about, of course, because there's a
really famous backstory about it, and I'll tell you all
about it and we'll pick I don't know, maybe three
or four, maybe five other iconic photos. Story Time with
(39:14):
Steve Kabin, story Time with Steve Man. I can't wait
so we'll talk iconic sports photos, un over Promised and
