Over promised with Covino and Rich We're gonna play a game.
Can you name that playoff baseball kid from their little

(01:29):
kid picture. We'll talk about colognes. Actually, we'll throw it back.
What are your favorite colognes? Scrob definitely Bartola. No, you
know why, I'll let you know what because Lamar Jackson,
did you know he had his own businessman A lot
of athletes I never had it, but remember Michael Jordan
had his coloneater. Yeah, but I didn't know Lamar Jackson

(01:50):
was an entrepreneur like that. So we'll talk some cologne,
some football, richest picks. That's all on over promised an
hour from now on our YouTube page. So join us
live and like we do every Thursday, we're throwing it
back old school and fifty hits right now, the one
baseball question before we get to all your feedback, because
we are talking cartoons on the anniversary of Peanuts. Charlie Brown,

(02:11):
poor guy got the football pulled away every time. And
by the way, Sam dances like one of the Peanuts crew,
like naturally, those are his natural dance moves. His legs
move that way. Yeah, look at him. If you're watching
on the YouTube feed, there he is. All right. So
my baseball quick question before we get back to cartoons.

(02:33):
I know Sho Hao Tani's going Game one on Saturday
against the Pills. That's the novelty of having a show. Hey, right,
m hm, I was wondering. I'm my god. So then
Blake Snell Danny g will be lined up. You guys
don't play game two until Monday. It's Saturday, then Monday.
This is not Saturday and Sunday. So Blake Snell is
gonna have like five six days rest, which is great, Yankees.

(02:56):
Blake Snell looks like he never has any rest though, ironic.
Don't you think tired as hell all the time? Like yo, Blake,
take him that bro. Unpack the luggage. Man, you got
lots of bags. If you guys are playing, I say
that respectfully, he's a gamer cove. If you're playing the
Blue Jays on Saturday, right, you don't push Max Freed

(03:16):
on short rest in the divisional do you? Or do
you say oh no, no, well, Wolf, save him for Sunday?
And what were they saving him for in the previous
what I'm saying, so, so I would say yes, but
that's why they yanked him with one hundred and two pitches.
But you know, you guys, the Yankees, if they do
in tonight that Yankees Blue Jay Series Games one and
two would be Saturday Sunday. Do you save Max Freed

(03:38):
for Sunday because he pitched Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You're
not gonna go a guy in three days rest at
this point, are you, because then you would probably not freeze. Yeah,
you would go Freeze and rodone games two and three
if you move on. I think remember Louis Heel, the
King of the Heel is your reigning Rookie of the

(03:58):
Year last year, so he's no scrub. Okay, okay TLC. Yeah,
so you'll probably get that then Freed. Then I just
love how Danny the pitching matchups when you get to
the next series, they're always a little lopsided because of
the previous series. It's not like every series lines up like,
all right, let's bring me aces out again. Sometimes you're
ace bite pitch Game three, and then it's just a

(04:18):
it's wonky in a really fun way. Alright, back to
the anniversary of Peanuts. Charlie Brown. You know what, poor
guy never got to kick the football. As Kevin Hart said,
I never got a Snoopy snowcone machine. You're gonna learn
something today. And I know it's not a crazy baseball
stat but it is kind of cool when you think
about Peanuts debuted on this day in nineteen fifty. That

(04:43):
was before our parents were born. My dad was born
the following year, right, yeah, and it lasted through two
thousand and the legacy still lives today. Joe Cool, Snoopy,
Charlie Brown, the whole crew. There's a Snoopy Land. Oh yeah, no,
I still love it even though rich to mean, let
me tell you it's the legacy is amazing. The music,

(05:05):
the little piano riff, the comics, the newspaper cartoons, such
a special feel about their Thanksgiving special, The Great Pumpkin.
Do you mean the Thanksgiving special we made? They made
the one black character sit on the opposite side of
the table. Racist. I know you're going to bring that up,
but I will say I sew. But Franklin's my guy.

(05:25):
I so enthusiastically showed my kids The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown,
and I'm like, kids, sit down, we're gonna watch something
really special for dad. We watched The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
It was tracked Not So Great Pumpkin, Sam. The plot

(05:46):
goes nowhere, It has no story. It's for children. It's reminiscing.
You're reminiscing and you're glorifying your childhood. I used to
watch it till in my teenage years. Vibe, yeah, there's
something so special. He seems the pumpkin patch and he
wakes up and he's like the Great Pumpkins it's the worst.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
What about the scene where they're walking across that field
at night? That makes you feel so lonely but in
a good way. That's what Charles Schultz was all about.
It wasn't about all positive feelings. He was about a
mix of life's feelings.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Is life at night? Or maybe it shows you the
not with your kids rich the world today where you
need over stimulation.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Peaceful and the soundtrack to it was like it sort
of like made you feel alone and sad and you're like,
where is the greed?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
That's what I want to feel, but it was. That's
what Charles Schultz's magic was. Let me tell you something.
It's trash. Don't watch it with your kids. This stuff
that other people taste, trash that I think is better.
You know it's better. She would be Halloween. You know
it's better.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Oh No, what is that?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Rich is a weird guy?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
What about the coal and the I got coal in
my sack? And for you know, a tiger treating That's
a great scene. It is the worst, great pumpkin. Charlie
Brown is not even worth watching. This should even err it.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Secondly, do you know how many animated specials the Peanuts had?

Speaker 4 (06:57):
What?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Too many things? Give you one Christmas one? I mean
there's obviously a top ten list all over the inner.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
There probably three to five, no fifty one animated specials
through the years. Wow, that means I know like five
of them. Griff time is it makes me want. I
don't want to say what it makes. So Charlie Brown
stinks screwed? You screwed.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what does treating back?
Andy helped give a snoop dog? He's still giving back.
I sent you, guys a story from CBS Los Angeles
Snoopy help deliver service dogs to southern California.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
You know what, No, it was good? What's that? What's
that pumpkin? My kid? My kids watch Spooky the Square
pump Spooky the Square Pumpkin. That's that's some good kids
from newer Disney flick. Hey, damn buyer, you got a
cute little son. Do not watch the Gray Pumpkin Charlie
Brown with him, so you'll be wasting you don't listen
to them. I'm telling you right now, it's probably don't
waste your time on it's it's hurting our feelings here, man.

(07:59):
But based on that freaking truth, you know what it's like.
I give you one analogy, then I then I'll shut
up for a while. I used to love don't be
ridiculous as a kid. I remember your man, Larry and
BALKI Perfect Strangers how funny? And I went back and
watch an episode and I'm like, yeah, funny for twelve
year old idiotic me watching TGI and compare a stupid
show like that to a legendary comic character and cartoon

(08:23):
like Charlie Brown. You please watch Perfect Strangers was a
trash show back? And then can you please watch it tonight.
Perfect Stranger is no better than alf or like I
was gonna do. Alf doesn't live up. Yeah, this is
due and you're you're glorifying over trash on alf though,
so you put deep down inside Danny. I know it's

(08:45):
not good, but it was never good. Your homework assignment
is to look yourself in the mirror, slap yourself wow,
and then why, and then watch the Great Pumpkin Charlie
Brown slap yourself again, and then come in and then
come in tomorrow and be like, rich, I'm so sorry
you were right. That's because you're a pea brain. Ryan

(09:06):
Bersching is in here flipping off because the riches of
the country is going to disagree with you on this. Right,
you're all lying to yourself. Here's what I bringing it up.
We're bringing it up because Peanuts the comic strip debuted
today in nineteen fifty with Charlie Brown, the unlucky, bald
headed Charlie Brown rocking the same Shirty rocked for you

(09:29):
know over one hundred and fifty years. Sher Me and
Patty were the original characters, and it was printed over
twenty six hundred newspapers, translated in twenty one different languages,
so internationally known international fame, and the original strips continued
until February thirteenth, two thousand and They were all hand
drawn by Charles Schultz. And of course The Great Pumpkin

(09:52):
and all the specials that we watched growing up got
us thinking about old school cartoons that we love to
pass down to our kids, the ones that we thought
held the test of time until Rich dumped all who's
a little piece of trash? They would pull the football away?

Speaker 5 (10:06):
Lucy, Lucy, you knew it incredibility, Like you don't know
what I watched that sports jump up and listen to.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
You see, I know everything? Can I just say this?
I was saying, yes, I've watched all these trying to
recapture something. And how do you not know the names
of the main character, because that's like saying, who's that guy? Uh,
who's that? Who does Donald Duck date? Again? Like how
do you not know the caracter I do? I was
about to say Peppermin Patty, and I knew I was wrong,
so I just said, real quick, anyway, Peppermint Patty drives

(10:40):
a super.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
The very first Peanuts special, by the way, is a
very Charlie Brown Christmas, which a lot of people have
ranked number one.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Drives a super the best line of the day. That's
a good thing. By the way, my parents drive a
super safe card. I'm just gonna say. I'm just gonna
say this, and Rich ranked number two. It's the Great
Pumpkin Charlie Brown, suck it, yo, what I will do?
It shows the problem with your attention span and kids
today's attention span, and anyone listening to the show could

(11:12):
hear it because you're so hyped up. There's no surprise
that you can't sit and enjoy this. No, it's it
was really it's unenjoyable. I'm not even joking at this point.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
That's how I felt about Hub Halloween. I got twenty
minutes of that. I'm like, this is ridiculous, How dad you?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Dan Patrick's in that? But it's crap. Secondly, I'm gonna
give you something else that's even I'm gonna tell you
something that's so bad that's even better than Charlie Brown.
I rather watch Ernest's Scared Stupid. That's another Halloween classic.
What is wrong?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Ernest Scared Stupid was scary as a kid, and it
probably still holds up. I don't know so based on
come on, what if that thing was oozing out of
its mouth and his nose?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
That thing was gross. What are the old school cartoons
that stand the test of time and that you love
near and dear, that you want to share with your kids,
the old school cartoons that you vouched for. And if
you think Rich is wrong, please be the guy to
tell him, because I tell him every day and he
doesn't believe me. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, and at Covino
and Rich and at Fox Sports Radio on social media.

(12:11):
You'll give you a cool old school cartoon. Heath Cliff,
heath Cliff, no one, I agree, he know why And
I put him over Garfield because Heathcliff kicked ass.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
He got out of the house a little more and
he got all the lady cats at the top of
that thing.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
You got that tall hot cat Like if I was
a cat, you would, if I was a feline, I would.
You know what? Sam and I have a bond, and Rich,
I know you'll agree with it. Something that Sam and
I bond over because he said something. He's like, oh
my god, you understood my reference. It's something you would
stand and it's one that you will not deny. You

(12:48):
can't deny it. And just because your kids don't like
it or whatever you make like a gargamele reference or something,
no no, no, no no. One day, Sam made a
reference and I picked up on it, and he was
shocked that I knew what was it, and it was
who's the most re markable extrainary fellow? You sending mad
the Sailor. Old school Popeye cartoons are still great and

(13:11):
if you watch them with your kids, because you really
see them so good, you have to have like some
old DVD or pull them up on YouTube. But those
old ones Ali Baba and the forty THI I loved
Popeye as a kid. In fact, my mom get this
would I didn't want to eat vegetables like every little kid.
This is a true story. I was Sam. My mom
would cook spinach, put it back in the can and

(13:33):
I would eat the spinach out. Yeah, if you want
to live up to that shirt that you and then
I would try. Then I would try to find women
tied to railroad tracks. Never found one, hey, chum, But
the old school Popeyes are still fantastic. We talked about.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
This is because they would craft physical sets and then
do the animation on top of it. Yeah, and it
had this very much like appealing visual aesthetic.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Watch Simbad the Sailor, Watch Abu Hassen Ali by'm on
the forty Thieves. Watch some of those old Popeyes. They
stand in the test of time. Hey, Sammy, you ever
go to the Cintamatica pier and they actually have a
little display about the guy that inspired Popeye. I have
not seen that. Yeah, there, dude, it's a real dude.
You're like, oh my god, it looks like Popeye and
he had the pipe and everything. So we're going to

(14:18):
your phone calls. Now, it's the great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
Apparently Rich isn't excited. He thinks it's the weak Pumpkin
Charlie Brown. But it's the anniversary regardless, so it's the
weakest your old school favorites. Let's go to the calls.
Let's go to drow in Ohio. What's update.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
It's got to be here, So I'm just I'm just
hanging out here at the Art Institute watching the traffic
go by.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
What's up, buddy?

Speaker 6 (14:44):
Hey, my favorite is Johnny Quest.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, there was a lot of those Johnny Quist's old
school Hannah Barbero. Right, yeah, so those old Hanna Barbera ones.
I love them. I don't know if they say the time,
but I think they're super cool, such.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
A good production company. And I was telling you that
they used to have primetime specials like on Friday Night
where it was that flying arc with all the characters.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, deck, yeah, great call on that Hannah Barbara legendary.
You know there's a theory we mentioned this before. They
say that The Jetsons takes place the same time as
the Flintstones, just in different you know, ones in outer
space and ones in Yeah, let's go to our buddy
trip in Vegas trip. How are you friend?

Speaker 7 (15:30):
Hey, good to talk to y'all. I would say I
always like watching Bugs, Bunny and Roadrunner. But then a
show that I loved with the Laugh Olympics. And I
may not stand a test of time, but the Laugh
Olympics was always good on Saturday mornings, you.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Know, just Saturday morning cartoons alone is something that kids
today will never truly get to enjoy the way we did.
We would fly down the steps, we'd have the smell
of Mom's pancakes in the air, have a bowl of
apple Jacks or whatever, and watch Looney Tunes and Muppet
Babies and American Gladiators. I have a question and part
of my purvy thought as I get older looking back,

(16:09):
was Smurf fat like getting with everyone? No? Or was
she your fat?

Speaker 8 (16:12):
Was?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
If you really look up the character, she was like
a decoy. She was trying to She works for Garga
Mele sent there or something like that to lure the
So that wasn't like the storyline of the cartoon though,
But that was the original. Yeah, I think that was
the original thought. She was there to like tempt other Smurfs.
I always thought that, uh, the only person that looked

(16:33):
at themselves in the mirror more than Steve Cavino was
Vanity Smurf. Is that true? I think so? Yeah? All right,
let's say I had to John in Virginia, what's up? John?

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Hey, guys, how you doing? Love the show?

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Thanks? Man?

Speaker 8 (16:44):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (16:46):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (16:46):
Not a whole lot?

Speaker 6 (16:47):
Two thousand and one, my wife was pregnant and had
a guy at work do a plywood cutout of my
favorite character, Foghorn.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Leghorn Well, I said it I said, I said.

Speaker 6 (16:58):
Us and instead of a stork where you put that
out there and then the speech bubble, I put say,
I say, boy, there's a little chick about him.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
That is That's great. I mean that was just so
much a part of our childhood because they would have
the little shorts, because they were all shorts that sort
of were part of the same episodes, right like fog Horn,
Leghorns a couple of minutes, who's the little like little
was it? Chicken hawk? What was it? Yeah? With the
glasses and he was like all brave and stuff. Tom
and Jerry fan Yeah, I watched a Tom and Jerry

(17:29):
was remember when we were shit. That was legendary thing
when we were little kids.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
They had a lot of those cartoons on before the movie, remember,
like Woody Woodpecker and droopy cartoons.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Can I can I hang you up with something that's
a little later, Danny, this is more like uh you
and Covino might be a little too old for this.
Sam is younger than me, so after school I would
watch my siblings, who are a couple of years younger
than me. That whole world of Tailspin, Dark Wing Duck.
Those shows were great. Chippendale Rescue Rangers. That was I
was a little old because I remember being maybe like

(18:02):
hand eleven twelve. But tell me those are great. But
you just passed over Woody Woodpecker, Tom and Jerry and
Droopy Dog. Yeah, and you can throw Chili Willy in
that conversation. Yeah, but you're gonna see that you're from
another planet. So you think Ductails is not better than
Droopy Dog. Ducktails has a great theme song. You don't
think Ductails is better, but you totally dismissed Danny g

(18:23):
He's like, those are legendary. Then you're you think you
think Woody wood Pecker is more entertaining. Legendary, but you
think he's more entertaining. If you would have sit down
right now as a grown man at forty something years old,
and I said objectively watch Woody wood Pecker and then
objectively watched Ductails, here's the difference. One's a classic, one
is Notcktails is classic to you? No, to everyone? Okay,
Droopy holds up. Remember the famous episode I don't think

(18:46):
anything groupie boobs. I don't want to, I don't want me.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
I don't like he's like the sheriff and Butch I
think is the name of that nemesis and he keeps
like smashing his finger and he has a run outside
to scream. There are some legendary cartoons from that.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I'm not a fan of Droop, but hey, good one,
Danny good one. Rich is just he's just hard to know.
But I think you guys, are you know what is?
I think you guys, And I'm surprised because Danny's got
a little one. He's got co I think when you
go back and watch a lot of these as an adult,
Like I said, sitcoms is one category, but even cartoons,
you're a lot of times sadly disappointed, like, oh, this

(19:26):
doesn't hold up, and the ones that do are fascinating, like.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Slow old movies. I get your point, But for cartoons
back in the day, they were more violent. There was
more physical comedy involved. Things they can't they think they
can't get away with me.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Nowadays my kids think bugs Bunny's hilarious, but something that
I did find funny. My kids love The Wizard of Oz,
but they were like, why is there a song with
a million names for five minutes before the movie starts.
Things are slower. They don't want credits, right, you know,
it's over. What are we doing? I'm telling you right now, Well,

(19:59):
why are we talking about this? Because Charlie Brown could
have been in the NFL as a placekicker if stupid
Lucy would have just gave him a shot one time.
It debuted on this day in nineteen fifty. So I
got us thinking of old school cartoons and which ones
are still special to us. If Rich took a again,
he took a steamer on all of our favorites. That

(20:20):
Todd and Missouri might agree with me. Todd, go ahead,
you're on the show, Tom and Jerry was mine. But
actually I did want to agree with you that Tu
is trash. Thank you you guys, have you know what
the two people? Okay? Then why do people still rock
like Joe cool Snoopy T shirt? Who?

Speaker 3 (20:37):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Who? Joe Cool? It's still a iconic like character? Snoopy
is your daughter as your teenage daughter. If anyone gives
a funk or wagdall like, what about Charlie Brown.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Mike Harmon, who is a host here, who has a
show from seven to ten pm Pacific time, has a
Charlie Brown yellow and black shirt.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
This is an old ass guy. Come on you making
it like, come.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
On, you wack like Peanuts stuff doesn't sell nowadays it does.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
That's what I'm saying. Like their merch is still a
pop culture sort of thing internationally, not just here in America.
Snoopy's iconic, can you guys Snoopy Lake on the top
of the.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Red I will agree with Rich real quick, that ducktails
and all those that those other one dark.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Wing Dog, I'm not saying those. He was all great.
He paid no mind to the classics that Danny brought up. Well,
they't the ones I'm name in our classic too, they
are like thirty seven years old. Now, question for you,
will you agree when you're done watching Thursday night football,
when you're when your team is on an off day
from the MLB wild Card Divisional Round playoffs, when you're

(21:43):
not watching the new season of Love Is Blind? Because
I know Danny's going to start that tonight if he
already hasn't. When you have a free moment Season nine,
When you have a free moment, can you please honestly
watch Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and I went objectively come
back and then say Rich, I I'm sorry, you do
me a favor I'll watch it if you do me
a favorite. Yeah, will you show your no those picking

(22:08):
kids who have no attention span just like their dad? Okay,
can you show them on Disney Plus? Yeah, the legend
of Sleepy Hollow with thinkabond Crow. That sounds great. I
will absolutely do that. I will show my kids Sleepy Hollow.
But I want you to the Headless Horse. I want
you to objectively watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown when
I come back. You know, it's slow movie. We knew

(22:28):
that would come back the next day and say, Rich
you know what. You're right, it has nostalgia for me.
But watching it now, it's just a different style of cartoon, bro.
I promise you you're also discrediting like the legacy of Peanuts.
It had a long run and it still lives today.
And the movie that came out in the like around

(22:49):
twenty fifteen did really well. So, Danny, when you brought
this up earlier this morning, when we were like doing
our little prep and stuff, I had no clu I
was gonna be so passionate about how much because yeah,
because I thought about him, like oh yeah, yeah, why
it's stinks. But go on, we'll wrap it up with
your phone calls, the cartoons that we hold near and
deer on a throwback Thursday, old school when fifty hits over,

(23:10):
Buddy Sean hit us up. That listens on the iHeart
app Out in La Sean Weller said, ducktails all day.
That's a classic. Now, it's thirty plus years old any
days here in Duckville. Duckman, d duck World, duck World, but Duckburg, Danny,
maybe it is duck They've made so many different iterations

(23:32):
now of ducktails, like my kids watch like a new
fangled version of ducktails. It's that popular, al right. Dean
in Kansas, what's up, Dina? What's up? Bud? I think
he's got a back? Can I heard him? He said,
Rich is right? All right? Mo in Arizona, what's up?

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Went up? Mo?

Speaker 8 (23:51):
Hey, guys, you're crazy man, Peanut skill Man, Snoopy Charlie
brown Man. I guess that must be more of a
generation of things.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Oh, I think you're a hot right now. You're smoking
sweed right now.

Speaker 8 (24:05):
But I got I'm wrong. But he did right with
the Looney tunes, I like those, but like a stalker.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, is low key like inappropriate like Pep'll leave her alone. Yeah,
he needs to take an HR course. Did not do
that course that we do online? No, but you know,
props to me blank because he did all those voices,
as you guys know. But it's insane because they're all
so similar. But the personalities of the voices are all
so different you don't realize when you hear them next

(24:33):
to each other without seeing You're right, they're very similar.
And if you've never seen it, look Investers like Daffy
and and it's also like Pepela Pugh, which is also
like Foghorn, Like it makes me think of road Runner too.
How violent I was. I thought anvils were going to
be falling from the sky as an adult. If you've
never seen it, I'll give you another homework on it.

(24:54):
This is not going to take you as long. Just
go on TikTok or Instagram. Look up old footage of
mel Blanc doing all those voices on like Johnny Carson
or something he's done like on like interviews and watching
him getting those carards and with Phil Mesterer and he
does like the shaking of his face and it's like
it does a bit of a porky pig fan, fantastic

(25:16):
of all that stuff. But we'll wrap it up and say,
enjoy your peanuts with your kiddos. Are just for nostalgic
reasons for yourself. The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown came out
on this day in nineteen fifty. Well, not the cartoon,
the actual comics trip that special came out this month
in sixty six. I thought we reaped all the benefits,

(25:36):
but Rich says, no, I do want to say before
we wrap it up, major props from me to Tom
and Jerry, all the Looney Tunes and who else do
I and Woody Woodpecker, those are my favorites. There you go,
I already said Bullwinkle, Yogi Bear, there's all those classics.
We got more Kavino on Ritch. We'll take more of

(25:57):

Rocks out for the record, I thought that this should
be the Super Bowl halftime show We're a Live from
the Fox Sports radio studio Covino and Rich And for
over forty years, ty rack has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship Fast and free back by free Road has a
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tiraq

(27:45):
dot com. The a tire buying should be props again
to Charlie Brown who could have been an NFL kicker,
could have been the next Adam Vanteridamn Lucy on this
day and again. Cartoons and the references, they're all generation,
all depending on when you grew up. Like Len from Idaho,
hit us up. He's like speed Racer Man, Go, speed

(28:06):
Racer Go. You know. For me, I grew up in
an era of Looney Tune reruns and Plastic Man's Comedy
Adventure Show and he Man and things like that. Say
it's funny, it'd say, we're going over the classics. It's funny,
you would say, he Man because it wasn't a Saturday
morning deal. No, that was an after school so it
was in a different category in my mind.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
It is.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It is all those like ThunderCats is in a different category,
you know, what I liked about the ThunderCats. They always
shouted out the hose Hose. So when you when you
shout out hosts, do you think of Hacksaw Jim Duggan
or the ThunderCats. Oh Hacksaw, Yeah, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. So anyway,
it's an exciting day. You could hear it in our voices.

(28:46):
Danny g Congrats to your Dodgers. Let's go yeah man.
Congrats again to the Tigers today. They were pomped through
the Tiger. Not that they shouldn't be. I'm just saying,
if you didn't see the highlights yet, they were pomped, yeh.
Talk about a yeah the Yankees tonight. I mean it's
been great. Of course, you got your Thursday night football.
So how could we not be excited. I don't want

(29:08):
to interrupt, but we're we're in a pivotal moment of
this game right here. Cubby's up two ozh at home
against the Padres, second and third, two outs and it's
zero to two on Fernando Tattis Junior. So this could
be a big playoff moment for him, or he could
come up you know. Sure, let's see what happens here.
So I know we don't do play by play here,

(29:28):
but he's one and two now, so we'll keep your posted.
But based on this, it's a big moment right now.
These playoffs are popping, man, they are, and the ratings
prove that. As we discussed every network, everything, attendance, you
name it up, well, let me ask you this and
I said, acts uh tattis fly out to right. Speaking

(29:50):
of baseball two to zero, there's a lot of buzz
if you follow social media trends, and if you don't,
that's why we're here. We keep you up on it.
I keep scrolling, scroll and scroll and scroll in so
that you don't have to I do the ball scroll
And people say I shouldn't sit that long, it's bad
for you, because it's bad for me. But I do

(30:12):
it because I love you guys. I'm sitting there and
there's a lot of buzz on social media about Judge's
legacy and how it all depends on whether or not
he wins the Big Game, he wins the World Series,
he wins it all, and I mean it's the one
thing that held back Don Mattingly. But when they're saying
like now, it's like he's still got years.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
I know.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
That's what I'm saying is when you think of all
the Yankee greats, from the Babe to Yogi Berra, to
Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson to modern Derek Jeter to
Mariano Rivera, what are they all have in common? They're
winners and champions. The one bummer, the one bummer for
number twenty three, the great mustachio Don Mattingley was that

(30:52):
he never he never got one and his back injury
took him out early. I just think that a guy
like Aaron je needs a World Series to be a
Yankee great. Here's my debate here, and I'm not saying
that's not true, because it's sports. You're defined by did
you win or not? Right, But Judge is in a

(31:14):
different stratosphere. As much as I love Don Mattingly, he's
one of my heroes. As much as I love Donnie
Baseball and Don Manningly, what Aaron Judge is doing for
baseball is circus like, it's ridiculous. As I joke, he's
Herman Munster and pinstripes. And I say that because there
was an episode where Herman Munster was hitting bombs because he's,
you know, big Frankenstein House. He was just hitting bombs

(31:36):
on a baseball. If you got kids, you ever watched
the Sonic movies? Yeah, and the who's the little red
Sonic dude? Like nails?

Speaker 5 (31:46):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
What are the nails or shadow or one? Remember like
they played baseball one of the end of the movies
and he just hits the ball like that's how Aaron
Judge HiT's ridiculous. So is his legacy his legacy when
he has these circus numbers. He's a two time MVP
going for his third MVP this season. Well, batting title, champion,
captain of the Yankees, Knuckles, knuckles, that's what thank you,

(32:11):
Sam Knuckles. Is his legacy really defined on whether or
not he wins the World Series? And is the urgency
really now? No one says, well Barry Bunds or Mike
Trout or some of the Griffey Junior. No one's saying
they stink as they didn't win. So I know you're
saying they're like because they're exceptionally He's they're extraordinary. He's

(32:32):
like an automatic Hall Famer and legend. I get that
Aaron Judge is the man, But I'm saying, if you
want to always go around with your YANKEDE shirt on
and your pinstripes and your Yankees hat. You always talk
about earn the pinstripes, the legacy. It's like the Lakers
of baseball, right, It's you know, there's franchises the Celtics
that are known to win. And if he plays his

(32:54):
whole career as a Yankee, which will likely be the case,
and doesn't have a World Series, you can't talk about
him with the great Yankee lore of these other guys.
I think this criticism comes because I think he's currently
banning like two hundred in the postseason two five, and
he needs that clutch performance. Well, guess what, He's four
for eight this postseason, so so far, so good for you.
So Judge's legacy does he have to win? Think about

(33:17):
it and we'll get to your calls. But Dan Byer's
got an update.

Speaker 9 (33:20):
What's up, dB, Yeah, guys, just this just in Cofto
and Rich find five million dollars by the FCC for
stealing play by play earlier. No, I'm kidding, Yes, Rich,
I y, that's uh. I'll tell you what right now,
the Cups still hold out to that to nothing lead
against the Padres bottom of the fifth inning. Earlier today
in Cleveland, it was a winner take maybe not all,

(33:42):
but a wild card series between the Tigers and Guardians.

Speaker 10 (33:45):
Pitch we line Li pasent in the right peas in
the score, Torkolsen will stop at second base. Six one Tigers.
That's are booming in the seventh against Hunter Gattis.

Speaker 9 (33:57):
A four run seventh for the Tigers allowed them to
top the Guardian six to three. So Detroit moves on
to face Seattle in the American League Divisional Series. Red
Sox and Yankees. You guys talked about it tonight eight
o'clock Eastern, winner gets Toronto. Some injury news from the NFL.
No practice for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, his teammate safety
Kyle Hamilton, corner Marlin Humphrey, and linebacker Rokwand Smith also

(34:19):
missed workouts today. Commanders will not have Terry McLaurin or
Noah Brown as the wide receivers have been ruled out
against the Chargers and Deebill Samuel missed his second straight
practice today. Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving didn't practice again.
He's dealing with foot and shoulder injuries. Baker Mayfield did
practice for Tampa Panthers. Running back Chuba Hummard miss practice.
He's dealing with a calf injury. Second straight day. He's

(34:40):
missed Niners in rams tonight eight fifteen Eastern time tonight,
and I'm three is reporting that executives with the NC
Double A are moving closer and closer to expanding both
the men's and women's NCAA tournaments to seventy six teams.
That change would be in place for the twenty twenty
seven NC DOUBLEA tournaments.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Guys, back to you just dot regulated. I mean, it's like,
sixty teams isn't enough. Come on, come on, you don't
need that. And by the way, Dan, while you were
doing that great update, the padres are so they were
so shifted over. I know, you can't shift the way
you used to be able to, but Manny Machata was
playing practically shortstop, and the shortstop was right up the

(35:17):
middle that Michael Bush of the Cubs hit the weakest
little pop up to third and it just dropped it.
You just couldn't get to it. They were they were
so shifting. But now a double player ras is all
that anyway, but still it was. It was wild to see.
I was like, oh, that's a routine pop up to
third Machada wasn't there? There was no one there. Every
moment counts. It's that time of year. We're Covino and

(35:39):
Rich and we get to your phone calls. Next, Judge's
Legacy on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, yo, I was Sam
playing some dark wing duck. Nice hot studio Rangers. I'm
more like a bat wing duck right now, Sovino and

(35:59):
Rich laughing the Fox Sports Radio studio. Business fluctuations make
running your manufacturing business complex, but staff in your business
doesn't have to be let Express Employment Pros provide the
workforce you need. Go to expresspros dot com. Find location
near you. That's Expresspros dot com. So legacies are made.
It's the postseason ghost season and the question we post

(36:21):
just based on social media feedback and buzz and the
importance of this time of year is Aaron Judge, He's
arguably your MVP of the season. Him or Cool Rawley?
Does he have to win this year to seal the legacy?
You know what, I don't think this year? But Or
does his stats alone put him up there with the
grit Griffy juniors and other people you mentioned before that

(36:44):
that never won, but we don't question their legacy. I
don't think he has to win this year, but Aaron
Judge can't retire without a World Series in pinstripes. To
be put in the conversation with Jeter and Mantle and Ruth,
you'll just say he was what a great like a
great offensive player, like a Bonds or a Griffy or
something that just never got I would say, you'd you'd
still say he was probably the best right handed hitter
we've ever seen in our life. Slow down, what do

(37:05):
you mean? Slow down? You're downplaying his numbers. I'm saying
his numbers don't require any sort of win. It'll help
his legacy. I want him to win more than anybody,
but I'm not sure he's defined by that. I think
he might be an exception. We have so many random
things going on, questions, behind the scenes and everything. But
let's go real quick, rapid fire. People still want to
talk about all the cartoons we threw it back with

(37:26):
legendary cartoons on the anniversary of Peanuts. Peanuts. Yeah, Calvin
and Indy, what's up man?

Speaker 10 (37:34):
All right?

Speaker 6 (37:34):
I guess this is one of the best talk shows
ever in history of life.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Oh, I just love that. Yeah, I agree that should
be our slogan. Dude, that's a great seng. We're gonna
roll with that, Calvin, thank you.

Speaker 8 (37:46):
It's going back to my early days.

Speaker 6 (37:48):
I was a manager of McDonald We used to rush
home from McDonald's to watch Boat Trying Defender of the Universe.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, let's say how the Cannons San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Hey, Ken, gentlemen, Yo, So this is totally generational, but
speeda go Gozales would not fly today.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
I wear, you know, sometimes I wear a slow Poke Rodriguez.
His cousin was slow Poke Rodrigae, which is a great character.
He was basically stoned all the time. But people, I'm
half Mexican, people are like, I don't know, man, I
don't know if you could wear that, this little racist
and you like, but you're Mexican kid, he's just so
of pride. You're right, it wouldn't really fly today, like

(38:34):
we said, like we said before. Same with Peppi La
Pew Roscoe in Florida. What's up, Rosco?

Speaker 8 (38:40):
I'm loving it?

Speaker 1 (38:41):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (38:42):
I can't believe I didn't mention Snoopy versus.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
A red bear.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Snoopy red Baron is classic. The Christmas song, right, yeah,
that is classic. But I'm telling you that Charlie Brown Halloween,
Big Great Pumpkins stinks. Ray, You're on? Wrap this up?
What's up? Right?

Speaker 8 (38:59):
Ray? Which you suck?

Speaker 6 (39:01):
I'm in Northern California, in peanuts territory, and my last
name is Schultz.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Oh yow hey, right right right? I love you. Bro's
was a great rich sucks is a great call to
end on. There a boy that called it he work
at McDonald's or McDowell's. I couldn't hear. I think he's
at mcdowells McDowell.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
The good news for Ray in Northern California is you
might be picking his football team tonight.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
You know what I'm going with the forty Niners getting
eight and a half. Now, if you really want to
be tricky? Do you want to be tricky? Dicky? You
know I've been nailing these tease bets, Danny a knock
on wood. We're sort of undefeated on these Thursday Mondays, Right,
So I like the Niners. Oh my god, this is
like a gift. Plus fourteen and a half. So plus

(39:49):
fourteen and a half what is the over under for tonight?
That that's always the tricky party. Go over or under
forty nine ers forty three and a half, go over
thirty seven and a half. Oh, we know, hold on,
Robert Salla's defense might keep him in check. Go under.
It's a Thursday show. We say, when you don't overthink that,

(40:10):
that's when you've been hitting so under forty nine and
a half, under forty nine and a half, niners plus
fourteen and a half. Let's hope Salah's defense controls the tempo. Now,
something I want you to think about for tomorrow. Ask
your wife, ask your kids. Cavino asked the dumbest, funniest
question off the air with spot in your Life, What
athletes name do you think you've said the most in

(40:32):
your lifetime? In your lifetime? Because you're like man Cavino,
Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge, And I'm like, you know, what
do you think you've said Aaron Judge as much as
you've said Jeter? I don't know. When you pass though,
you go through the parlegates and they hand you a
DVD and a piece of paper and all actually all
your stats are there, I think, so yeah, so you'll
find out then, But we'll discuss that and more plus
the new game brain Wave. We'll do that tomorrow weekend hobnobbing.

(40:54):
Get ready for the weekend. But what's the chance is
the Niners and the Yankees win tonight? I hope good
for us? Yeah, remember over Promised premieres next, so join
us on Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube episode one eleven.
Let's go right until that or even there. You baby,
see you in the over Promised land. Oh yeah, geze yeah,

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
