Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app I searching FSR. I tip my
hat even though I'm not wearing one.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
To the Toronto Blue Jays because they play a better
brand of baseball. I'm sure I signed up to rot
when I was a kid, when I invested in this
game that I love. It was called baseball, and there
was fundamentals and there was things involved, and the Yankees
abandoned all of that just to swing in the air
and whiff and miss and go for home runs.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
And that's not baseball. That's my failure.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It may have worked a few years ago, it doesn't
work anymore. I'm sick of it. I'm done with it.
And uh and now I'm in a path. Yeah, I
was gonna say it that I'm not sad. I'm not sad.
In fact, I'm rocking out. Let's go well, you know,
before we get it to today's show. Speaking of your Yankees. Uh,
Flatty Guerrero wanted to chime in and say, what's up.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Here, Yankee, Let's go, let's go, let's.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Go, baby, that's disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Second of all, didn't we say yesterday we hate ra
force me to do this with Florida from Good Times?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I mean, is that big Poppy?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
You're gonna ras me with Guerrero and I could be
hearing Big Poppy.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
That was a cool baseball moment.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, Rich, wait until your mets are out of Oh yeah, please, Well,
you know what it post is a great question.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
We're gonna get to it in a few minutes and
it's a simple now what So we're gonna get to
that a lot of NFL. I'm gonna talk today about
Jackson Dart. We're gonna go old school and fifty hits.
We are doing it live for the Fox Sports Radio Studio.
If you miss any of this, the podcast always available
wherever you get your pods. Just search Covino on Rich
give it five stars and uh we're doing it live

(02:09):
on YouTube right now, YouTube dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Slash Covino and Rich FSR.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Doing live so action packed show gram program where the
pros in the Gram. We have a producer Danny g
What up, Danny g Y, Your Dwyers looked like cheeks
last night?

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah they did. I'm the Phillies are. We know they're
a good team, obviously, Why yeah, why we acted like
they weren't gonna go out being swept. I didn't think that.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm not saying that to Razu. They still play another day.
I'm just saying they look like like buns.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I'm not super confident about today's game. By the way,
they're gonna be playing in the shadows. Well, yeah, that's true.
With a good picture going for the Phillies.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, but still like to expect your team to sweep everyone,
Like did you think Schwarber was just gonna stop hitting
home runs? And you think the Phillies good starting pitcher
was just gonna stop like the Dodgers, you know, are
not the home team in the series. You know, there's
a lot of great teams this year, really good teams,
and the Blue Jays are one of them. Really good team,

(03:14):
Ernie Clement, Lucas, these role players, that's what baseball's about,
people stepping up. You can't win with just Aaron Judge
and swinging for the fences. So the teams that are
left right now are really great teams. So of course
the Phillies are gonna take one. And they left Kershaw
in way too long yesterday. We agree on that. But
the Dodgers do face challenges today. Danny G made a

(03:36):
hometown point here. Dodgers Stadium wasn't meant for day games
in October like this, so a lot of shadows they're
gonna have to battle.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But still it's gonna be a fun one to watch today.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Iowa Sam is here, Dan Bayer's here, Spotty's here, and
again we're kaven on Rich. We're glad you're here. My
team's out. I'm a Yankees fan. Now what I'm bitter.
I'm in that bitter stage of like scoot him my
whole year.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I hate him.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I'm never gonna watch ever. But they don't deserve to win.
Riches Mets are.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Out, Mariners, Brewers be still happy. Danny G's still happy.
But my question is this, when your team is out.
I'm not saying do you pull another rooting interest, but
if you're a sports fan, you still want to watch

(04:26):
or not? Do you pow like I'm not watching? So
the season's over for you? Are you really a sports
fan if that's your angle here. So rooting is not
the word rich. It's almost like, do you pull for
someone else or is there a storyline that is automatically
the default? Like is the storyline the Brewers then because
no one expected them to win, they're a young team.

(04:49):
I mean, I think there's two ways to go about it.
I mean, when your team's out of it. I have
friends that at this point say I'm done watching, and
you have about the friends formula you're a You have
other friends that are like, dude, it's a postseason.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
What do you mean you're not watching?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I think what you do when your team is out
of it, you don't jump on a bandwagon. But I
think what you do is you, uh, you step on
one you don't need to. You don't ever claim to
be a fan of that team. But right now as
a Mets fan, they failed to make the post postseason.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
They stink.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
But if I said, you know what, cal Rawley's having
a magical year, I do like everyone on that team.
It's a really likable team. They've never won before. Maybe
I'll pull for the Mariners. Maybe you root for a
good pal like Dan Beyer and say you know, hey.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Man Brewers Cheerio terrang.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Rich, wouldn't you cheer for your kids favorite team?

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
You either did the Dodgers?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
And by the way, we live in Los Angeles, right,
So that's also another angle here. The question is if
your team's out, do you tune out? Is that the
only way to do this? Or as a sports fan,
do you say And let's make it very clear, Rich,
you said it, but I want to reate. We're not
saying all of a sudden, you're a fan of that team,
get out here. That's garbage. That's garbage by Suda, that's trash.

(06:08):
But so so do you now pull for another team?
Because that's what you're left with? So all right, my
team couldn't win. Let me be the bigger person, and
I'm going to roof for my buddies team.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I've heard.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I like this team. They really play good ball. They
deserve it. Like, where does your maturity levels go in
this case? And That's what I'm trying to figure out
today because the Yankees are fresh out of it and
that's what's on my mind. I'm like, well, man, this
season's been popping. We've been saying it all season, right,
Danny g baseball popping babebook, guess what, our team's out,
but it's still popping. So now what we're going the.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Pre show meeting, Rich said, it's only popping if my
team's still in it.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's only it's only popping to me. But I'm still watching.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't know, man, It's still electric all the games yesterday.
There's an intensity level that we haven't seen in a
long time. Well not with my Yankees, of course, but
you know you're seeing some great baseball. So where do
you go? Where does your mindset go? And you know
I got my answers, Rich has his, but we want
to hear from you too. At eight seven, seven ninety

(07:06):
nine on Fox at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports
at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
Bark Sports, Mark Sports. Yeah, next time some forks Sports
Radio Sports slide. Can't let us slide.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
This guy cut him some slacked. He never mumbles and fumbles.
Rich Davis, mister perfect?

Speaker 7 (07:26):
Did you call him a clay Shaw the other day?
Wasn't that that's my pet name for He's Richie Stumblebum.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
Hey, get off Rich's back, Okay, I'm a Rich Davis guy.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Seriously, Oh man, can.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
We all has no respect for Terraang and Cherio and
all your star players.

Speaker 7 (07:42):
Did you say Cheerios and Tang? That was like breakfast
in nineteen eighty five, nineteen eighty five, that.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Those are the only Brewers Rich knows, by the way.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
And you know, does your maturity level go in this case?
I feel like I saw in my peripherals Dan Byer
shaking his head, like, if my team's out, I tune out.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is that true? I?

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Well, I do.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
But I actually think one of the great things about
being a sports fan is watching an event and having
a natural reaction to a game that you didn't know
that you were cheering for a certain team. You may
have no dog in the fight, yeah, but if you
sit down tonight and watch one of these two games,
there may be a team where obviously you're just like, yeah, you.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Know what, I kind of want the Brewers to win.

Speaker 8 (08:25):
I love that about being a sports fan is you
go into a game thinking you don't care, and you
come out of it and you're like, why was I
rooting for that team the whole time?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
And that's what I love about fighting, right, because there's
so many times in a preliminary fight or whatever. You're
watching two guys you don't really know, but by the
middle of that fight, you're pulling for someone. Yeah, You're like, yeah,
I want that guy, And I love that About this
thought and about this theory, I'm gonna watch these games
and I'm gonna figure it out. So I'm thinking it's Brewers,

(08:57):
I really am. He was how trying to get back
How can I root for the Dodgers? How can I
root for the Dodgers when they beat the Yankees in
the World Series? But then again, I live in La
what's the mindset here? But I do love that thought
that Dan Bayer just shared, and I expressed that when
it comes to fighting, your heart or your decision comes
from the sense of they got this underdog fight that

(09:19):
I relate to, and I want to see this guy win.
You could feel that way about a team you're not
necessarily rooting for, but now you're pulling for. So where
do your rooting interests go when your team is out?
That's the question. Well, some people go with the mindset
of well, I'm just going to root for a team
that eliminated mind which I never got.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
But there are.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
People that that's a mindset but I don't like it.
That's not my mind. You heard how you started the show.
You want to rub it in with Laddie Guerrero, that Tobagoo.
You think I want to root for that guy after
he was taking the waz as they say overseas, taking
the waz on the Yankees, get out of here, Come on.
I think that mindset doesn't vibe with me. But there
are plenty of people that say, well, at least that

(10:01):
means we lost to the best. I don't get with that. Yeah,
I don't get with that. I'm a little spiteful team
or something.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, and you should have stepped up and beat the
best before they could have advanced.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I like the style of ball, the style of play,
the heart, the contact, the never giving up in that bat,
slapping foul ball after foul ball, working the count, working
the picture. I love that about the Blue Jays. I
just don't like them. I'm an American League East fan.
There's no way room for the Blue Jays. So again, guys,
what do you do in these situations?

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Anti Canadian?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Do you have a formula or does it happen organically
the way Bayer described Damn Bayer describes something we've talked
about for years, which I'm I'm great. I'm so glad
he said that because there have been so many times
where you are watching a fight. Fighting is the best
example where man don't got a horse in this race.
By like the sixth round, you're like, oh, I want
this guy. Can I tell you this to others, like
his attitude or his hard or as fire, this you

(10:56):
made your mind. There's two other instances where I feel
like this is very present.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
One's a little more controversial than the other.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I feel like in dating, when you see like a
reality show, I know it's reality show, so relax, But
when a guy's choosing between two women, or a women's
choose between a couple of dudes on the Bachelorette, there's
got to come a point where you're like, I like
them both. Something's gonna happen along the way. We're like,
all right, now that's the one. I'm There's something will

(11:27):
happen along the way when you're in a love triangle.
And I think about this in politics, I have you know,
there's plenty of people that love to say, hey, I'm
down the middle.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm you know, I'm not a Democrat or Republican.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
On election night, your true feelings come out, because when
someone's leading, you're either.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Like oh or still making a choice.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, you're making a choice because on election night, on
election night, I guarantee you might have said I'm Luke White,
I don't love her hate Donald Trump?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Who knows.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
I guarantee on election night, when results start coming back in,
you have an opinion. I like the underdog stories, I
like the unexpected. But I'll make that choice maybe tonight
Philly's at Dodgers, Brewers at Cubs, and of course you

(12:17):
got your Thursday night football Eagles Giants, And I will
tell you this Rich. You know, from a professional standpoint,
guys like dB, especially guys like dB. He's your update guy.
He's the guy that has to know Covino and Rich
the shows here. We have to keep an eye on
what's going on, right and plus it's fun for us.

(12:39):
But where does the rooting interest really go here? The
game I got my eye on the most by far
is gonna be Brewers Cubs. The excitement we saw yesterday,
the fire we saw yesterday, the storyline we've heard all
year about the Brewers, Like are they the real deal.
You know they deserve it. Let this team win. Let's
see what happens. Let's show the world that it doesn't
have to be a giant market that takes it all.

(13:01):
Like the good old fashioned baseball prevails and that's where
the game should be heading toward.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
And I think that baseball could need that.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I'll be I'll be watching that game to see
if I could organically now say yeah, I'm pulling for.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
The brew Crew, let's go.

Speaker 8 (13:13):
I'll also say this that I think Cavino is in
a unique situation where so the Mets lose, so Rich
turns his attention to the forty nine ers. You don't
have an NFL.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't have a team.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yes, I don't claim a team, right, So that's that's
also a very interesting situation. I actually thought about that,
you know, because a lot of people hit me up
last night, sorry about your team, man, And I think
a lot of people think I take it harder than
I do because it's.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
My only team. That's right.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I have New York buddies, Dan, It's so funny you
say that I have New York friends that are like,
all right, very Mets, let us down onto the Rangers
and the Knicks. Yeah, basketball and hockey era on the horizon,
So there's something to be said about that.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I feel like I'm all alone. Are you missed?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Would you be inclined to if they both advanced? Would
you want to go Brewers Dodgers out here? Go go
check it out live? Or is that something you like
chilling at home for.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
I'd probably chill at home for.

Speaker 9 (14:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
They you know, and they played in what was it
twenty eighteen?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (14:09):
I had a buddy who asked me, said I may
be able to get tickets, and I was like, yeah,
go and then I I don't know if I really
loved the idea, and then he said I don't have
a ticket for you. So then I was like, oh,
I absolutely want to go.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
But how could you not root for a team that's
never won a World Series? They made it what in
the eighties? Yeah, Cardinals Capitals, So that's the only team
and that was what, like, was that even Robin yell era?

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Okay, so it was Robin Era early Paul malodor era
of the Brewers. They haven't seen the World Series since then,
so that the storyline alone is intriguing.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
What pulls you in? You want to get more pulled in.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Watch put the google this, We'll look up the speech
that Yelich gave to them.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I love the team.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I love that guy. I think he's a great dude.
I think he's a great comeback story. He has a
hot mom, Madam. We've interviewed him. He's a likable guy.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (15:05):
I've always also felt that this is unfair because I
and I've said this on the show. I'm very unfair
to the Minnesota Twins because they won two World Series
titles right when I was in the in the prime
of loving sports, Like I remember World Series prior to that,
but when you're really grasping it, it was nineteen eighty seven.
I would have been ten at the time. Then they
went again in nineteen ninety one. I think the same

(15:26):
thing with the Blue Jays. I think the Blue Jays
are a great story.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
But there was a time you're thinking back to back, yes,
exactly the early nineties where they were the team that
got Jamal Joe not only you couldn't beat, but they
would get the best players. Now, the Brewers didn't treat
Paul Malader great on the way out, So he goes
to Toronto and wins, and maybe that would be a reason.
But there were times where the Brewers were battling in
the Al East with Toronto, like Toronto was a hated

(15:50):
team to me, I didn't like the Blue Jays.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yes, over thirty years ago.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
It doesn't feel like it, but it's over thirty years ago.
Touch the mall, Joe, they go get Ricky Hendon saying
they get Roger Clemens. They you know that that's a
different world. Yeah, there's one more Cadem Hardison style. Kadem
Hardison style a different world. But there's one more layer
to this question, and we'll leave it to you Fox
Sports Radio Nation. If you're one of those, my team's out,

(16:16):
so I tune out. But how about players we mentioned?
Yellis right, good dude, he's been the face of this
organization now for a long time. But on the flip side,
what about guys like Bryce harper Man like that guy.
You're not rooting for a player like him?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Bryce? Number one? Keep in mind the player faller, he
knows ball right. Want to see the DC and then
that's when the Nationals won. So Bryce is still looking.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
If you're not rooting for teams and we're using the
term rooting loosely, because we're not saying all of a
sudden you change an alliance or an allegiance to a team.
We're saying just for the fun of watching. Does your
interest then turn to the players if you're so against teams,
because you know I do watch football in that way,
I root for certain players, So maybe players the answer here.

(17:00):
But I'll tell you what, I'll make that choice tonight.
My eye is on the Brewers Cubs. We'll see what
happens and enjoy it. If your team's still enjoy it,
mine's not. And I do think Dan Bayer made a
great point. You not having an NFL team that you
really claim is your own keeps you a little more
locked in, because I will say, once the Mets were eliminated,

(17:20):
it was like, all right, I'm watching, but now like
my main attention goes towards the Niners.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
My teenagers do this a lot in the NBA. They
have favorite players like Steph and so they'll be sharing
during a Warriors game. But they're Laker fans. So this
generation right now they follow different NBA players and dB,
I know there's some NBA news you wanted to hit. Yes,
speaking have my breaking news sounder.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Guys, breaking news from Fox Sports.

Speaker 8 (17:47):
A report from ESPN says Lakers forward Lebron James will
miss the next three to four weeks of action because
of sciatica on his right side.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
That's old guys stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Yes, that's such.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
A right, that's forty some of your old guy problems.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
That's not young guy problems from hoisting Hennessy.

Speaker 8 (18:09):
Have we ever seen sciatica in the parentheses of a
of an athlete before?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, George Blanda and it was.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
An old.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Who was it not Vita Blue who pitched Satchel Page.
Then he pitched they say, like till he was way
older than they thought. So, yes, I don't think we've
seen siatic inquitibitrool. He's playing in rockports this season. Yeah,
he's playing in old sky shoes.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
See the bronze.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
No, the Lakers have a dish of Werthers at the
end of the scores table. This year it's brand new.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, that's you know what, Danny g That sucks though
for Lakers fans it does, and especially when you're hearing
all this other nonsense about Amazon Prime Day and he's
promoting Hennessy and he's got his decision.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's like, yeo, dude, you're not even playing. That's a
lit man.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I mean, I know he can't control that, but that
is sort of a downer for anybody pumped about the
season coming up in a few weeks.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
By the way, Rich Satchel Page was fifty nine years old.
Oh man, Yes, he played his last season.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, he doesn't throw a powder anymore. It's metamucil. Yeah,
that's a good one.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
So hey, the question, guys, your team is out, do
you tune out? What's your rooting interest? Just to keep
an eye on the game moving forward. I like the
underdog story, but I can't force that to happen. When
I say underdog, I mean the team that never won,
the Brewers. What about the Mariners. Mariners have never even
been to a World Series. I've never There's a lot

(19:37):
of leading Look, yeah, there's a lot of great storylines,
a lot of great teams. I know why you don't
want the Marinals, and I'll tell you why. I know
the postseason doesn't matter with MBP voting, but I made
the analogy. You know, when you know when you're in
someone's in court and someone on the witness stand said
some crazy stuff and the judge says, oh, strike that from.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
The record, but you're like, yeah, but we heard it.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I know. Voting for MVP, you know doesn't count the postseason,
but if you see cal Raley keep going, it's gonna
be in all the voters heads.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
So you want cal Raley out.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's part of it. Also, like you know, I'd rather
choose an n LP team. Get the AL team out
of here. Okay, that's an AL fan A haha, I
go be here, big Poppy. Oh, the Yankees loose? Hey, heydy,
you know what I mean. It's my guy, Hoaly, here's

(20:29):
my guy. Go right away, They're going, I go be
he shut up, poppyse never seen a guy so not
care but care. At the same time, Steve Covin over here,
I don't, Danny g I don't know who's crying more.
And then on Love is Blind or Steve Covino, you're
gonna compare me to that guy on Love is Blind?

(20:50):
I get out of here, but I will say this,
why won't you.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Get with me?

Speaker 4 (20:54):
I'd be holding then.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
That that FS one broadcast needs Poppy because he brings
the fun. But that's disrespectful to all the fans to
Jeter to a rock Come on, they were laughing. Not
It's like that's like rubbing it in. Man, Peter wasn't
get out of here a job. You're such a lame o.
I mean, honestly, I a Yankees had one and all

(21:16):
of a sudden, uh freaking sombreros on, get out of here.
I think it's fun.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Get out of here.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'd see you in concona ha ha ha, big poppy,
get out of my face.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
So God, I'm glad you're over it.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
We're Cavino Enrich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio,
and two reminders, we're gonna do old school when fifty hits,
So in twenty minutes we throw it back in reminisce.
We're gonna talk some TV. We'll explain. So start thinking
of some old school let's say, start thinking some edgy
shows you grew up with, edgy shows you grew up with.
Think of how many Yankee fans drove home to their
mom's basement last night said see low blows and mom

(21:55):
my laundry. Whatever we don't fit into today's show is
gonna be on over promise. A brand new episode drops today.
YouTube dot com Slash, Covino and Rich FSR join us
live at four on the West, seven on the East
over promised Episode one twelve Peaches and Cream one twelve. Today,
I can tell you this. We're gonna talk is it cheating?

(22:18):
Because today's an anniversary of cheaters?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Is it cheating?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
We're gonna go over the new rules of cheating? And
who might be asked. I don't think there's any surprise,
but you'll find out on over promise later today. Rest
in peace, Mike Greenwells. That's a legendary red sock. Legendary
red sock in that Ellis Burks era of baseball card collecting.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
And how many Mike, how many Mike Greenwells did you have?

Speaker 4 (22:43):
For real?

Speaker 1 (22:44):
And you know, here's a fun fact that could be true,
one of those things that I never heard until recently,
but I read somewhere and it was probably a meme,
so it has to be true. But that we all
counted way too much on our Todd Van Poppel cards
to be worth something.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Know that Mike Greenwell and Unmattingly were cousins? Really? Was
that the same rumors?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
It was that in the same rumor mill that uh
leaping Lennypofo and Macho Man were brothers than they were,
but they were brothers. Yeah, they were brothers. They still are,
I guess, but rest in peace. Mike Greenwell definitely one
of those legendary late eighties early nineties big names for
the Red Sox. As we get closer to the NBA,
we are going to take your phone calls on the

(23:25):
rooting interest. I had a question for Dan Bayer as
we do get closer to the NBA, is this the
year with a lot of young talent?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Now do you think dispersed the big step?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
By the way, they are not cousins, but it is
a rumor simply two former Major League Baseball players who
played in the same era.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
But it says here they're related through family connections.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
That's yeah, so I knew.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I I like how all Italian people call people their
cousin when it's just like a neighbor kind of yeah,
but they had that connection. I never knew that even
as a Yankees that's my uncle. Is it your uncle,
your dad's friend, and my dad's friend, but we call
him uncle, you know, uncle Richie.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Is this the year, guys the Spurs take a big
step forward? I feel like it might be.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I mean, I know they're still very young, but now,
I mean now they're Wimby's seven to five and they
drafted that a lot of that, a lot of draft equity.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Is this the year?

Speaker 8 (24:10):
Yeah, they had the second overall pick. They took Dylan
Dylan Harper with that pick. In the past draft they
acquired Dearon Fox last year. In most cases, I would
say yes, like you expect them to maybe make that
Oklahoma City sort of rise, But again, the West is
just so loaded. Yeah, like how high can you go?

(24:31):
Maybe because of fresh legs and other teams aren't as
interested in getting the top sex four, like a four
or five seede you're trying to slip in. I mean sure,
and and they may who knows, they may win sixty
games and be right there with with Oklahoma City. I
just don't know how urgent some of the other teams
are going to be early out in the season, like
the Mavericks. You know, you don't have Kyrie Irving. You're

(24:52):
breaking in Cooper flag at that point.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Man, that's another Night storyline.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I think this year, you know, we got to give
credit where credits that we talked about Baseball's popping. I
think the NBA is gonna have some really interesting storylines
this year.

Speaker 8 (25:03):
There's a realistic chance that san Antonio could just also
just at the default. Again of what I'm saying is,
I don't know if the regular season matters to the
other teams when it comes to seating, but because they're
so young and maybe something that could help them moving on.
But I think other teams are more just trying to
jockey for position for the second half of the year
than going into the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
I think if Wemby takes my plan of the three
point finger roll.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Then they definitely got it. Then they're golden.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
A couple of quick phone calls when your team's out
of it in any sport, what then becomes your answer?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Essentially, now what.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Your rooting interest to now? Or do you pick players
or do you find an underdog story that resonates with
you or the other option, like Dan Byer said, if
you're into other sports, is that your q to transition
to something else?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Like, you know, my team's out of it, all right? Football?
All right, NBA's almost here, Hockey's almost here, Like what
is your move? Let's go to Boise and Tyler Hey Tyler.

Speaker 10 (26:01):
Going, guys, what's up man?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
What's your what's your move here?

Speaker 4 (26:03):
What do you do?

Speaker 11 (26:04):
So, as a as a Bills fan lifelong, Bill's a
Mariners guy, it's been brutal and uh.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
You're living good now. I was gonna say, Bills and Mariners,
you're having your moment me finally.

Speaker 11 (26:14):
But as as that, you know, usually baseball over in
August and football season starts in August, but this year,
I gotta say, you know, Mariners never ever making the
World Series. Definitely pulling for them as obviously as a fan,
but I think people that aren't fans can lean that direction,
and then as far as you know, the other would
be seat Bills, Bill's Lions Super Bowl and maybe like

(26:37):
a series with the Mariners and the Brewers would be
pretty sweet.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I think that is the number one answer.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
If we were playing family Feud and Steve Harvey came
out with here as big mustache, I think the number
one answer on the board would be people root for
the team that perhaps the franchise has never won.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
That's always the answer. Yeah, that's where my heart goes.
So give them one.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Let's how you happy about He's right, because Rever last
year everyone's number one answer was come on, Lions and Bills,
And I think the answer now would really be Brewers
Mariners would be do you remember what I said to
you know, the ultimate fantasy Josh Allen hoists the trophy
and he thanks all the fans that were there in
the nineties, and ay, Jim.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Kelly and Scott Nor would you got all you guys
are forgiving? And then he you do it for everybody.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
That's your ultimate AI video app saying if your team's
out and you're rooting for the people that sort of
I don't know did not deserve it, but that have
been waiting.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
We talked about it. When the Cubs finally won. There
were grandparents where people were like, I'm so happy my
grandfather lasted long enough to see this, and other people's
grandparents died just before they won.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
So one more phone call on it's gonna happen interest.
I feel like that's gonna happen to me.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I feel like the Mets are going to go on
one hundred year streak of not winning the World Series,
and it'll be like a nineties one year old guy.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Like, man, let's go Met.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
She's well.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Then all of a sudden like I'm gonna die at
ninety eight years old in September a month world starting
theory that you've always been the bad luck churm to
the mess.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
You've always been there.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Mush, I might send a hit man after Rich wrap
it up with two we got here in Seattle.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
He's the governor.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
The governor in Seattle. What's going on me? I got
nothing against your your Mariners. I remember battling your Mariners
in ninety five, though you did say their home run
celebrations lame. I think it's cool with the Trident. I
don't like any of those celebrations. What's up, Seattlesonal?

Speaker 12 (28:28):
Hey, a little background real quick. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan,
spent first fourteen years of my life there, and then
my dad dragged me out to Seattle. So I root
for all teams Detroit. So it's kind of tears our
family apart. All my kids are Seattle fans, whether it's football,
other it's baseball, it's human hockey with cracking. But my
take is a once of Detroit team is out. I

(28:50):
stopped for eating. I just stopped watching the games. I
can't get into it if my team's not there, so
big game tomorrow night. Let's go Tigers. And I wanted
to say I love your guys' show. I usually only
catch the last hour, but the government shut down has
me on vacation right now, so I'm getting to listen
to you all day and keep up the great works.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Thanks man. Hopefully everything works out with your job and
we appreciate it. Brother.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
But you know what, if the Mariners do beat your Tigers,
your kids will be happy. Look at it that one, yeah,
so that someone will be happy.

Speaker 11 (29:18):
Right.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Thanks again, I appreciate the call, and thank you Fox
Sports Radio Nation for hearing us out. Now, next we
do something called old school when fifty hits. We do
it every Thursday. We throw it back and reminisce. You
know what's funny about our conversation yesterday about razzing like

(29:40):
people love to lean into like Yankee Stadium spirit Halloween. No,
if you go to my social media page, like my
Facebook page too, you see all these people like hey,
Yankees released their City connect jerseys.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
It's like a trash can Like yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Only one team wins, so shut your pile. If it's
not your team, then shut up.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Stage and grief this spot. What is he doing?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Only angerain buy bargaining. He's bargaining one team wins, So
I guess it's a too battle.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
No, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I think it's a failure. I'm embarrassed by the Yankees.
I'm disgusted. In fact, I think they stink. They deserve
to lose. I love the game that the Blue Jays play,
I just don't like them. But only one team wins. Relax,
slow your roll, and I can't wait to see who
it is you know to make you nut stuff for anymore.
Let's do our hire ract play of the day.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
I didn't pick a Yankees clip.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, live for the Fox Sports Radio studio. It's time
for our play of the day, and Danny, you could
cover your ears for this one. Schwarber hitting bombs.

Speaker 13 (30:44):
He's from the right side. That ball's crushed steep to
right field. Hernandez doesn't even move.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
It is long gone.

Speaker 13 (30:51):
It's off the roof for the pavilion in right field.
He styles Scharber and with a lightning strike, the Phillies
tie it.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Up at one man shot well in about twenty minutes
or so. Game four, Getna Get going at Douer Stadium,
That was Curtesy Affhillies Radio Network, TYRECT play the Day
and four. Over forty years, Tirec's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shift fast and free back by free road hazard protection,
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tireraq dot com.

(31:22):
The way tire buying should be, and we do it
every Thursday. We're a little early, but that's nice. Guys
are minute early for this? Yeah, Holy Holy but should
I just alerge all the affiliates? Should I just speak
real slow for a minute now? It's like that rare
occasional where you're actually early with your wife for a
dinner reservation, Like we're here for the seven o'clock sir,

(31:43):
it's six fifties five. Well, like I said, something happened
on this day. In nineteen eighty six, we called it
the fourth TV Network. Back in eighty six, we call
it old School. When fifty hits, let's do it, there's
a certain.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, what we.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Gonna do is go back back into time.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty
hits at fifty after CNR give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, all right, taking you back when you were a
little pumpkin pie haircuted, freaking your corduroys, who were in
your parachute, panp Can I give you a little perspective
what was going on on this day in eighty six?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Besides what you're going to get to.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
This is when the Mets were in the National League
Championship against Mike Scott. Remember how unhittable he was, the
legend of Mike Scott and Idio you cursed the team. Yeah,
this is before I cursed the Mets. And today was
the day Phantom of the Opera opened on Broadway, so
Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
So we're talking a long time ago. The eighties feel
like yesterday.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
But man, coming up on forty years, I was born
that year eighty six, Sam huh yep.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
I believe that media changed forever that day. The world
changed forever because Io Sam was born on this day.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
In nineteen eighty six, Fox debuted as TV's fourth major
network after NBCCBS and ABC. And when you think back
to the early Fox days, you think about them trying
to find their place on the dial.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
And it was a couple of.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Years until the main shows really came out. Fox just
sort of launched on this day. But when you think
of those early days of Fox, when they really became
a player.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
They had to cut out their own lane.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, they really did.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Fox operated differently than the other three in that only
three hours of the day were dedicated to the network.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
It had a rocky start, but Fox.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Became the most watched network during two thousand and seven
two thousand and eight. In twenty nineteen, the network was
acquired by the Disney Company.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
So that's the history. But it started eighty six on
this day.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
But if you think back to then, they had to
differentiate themselves from everybody else, and the way they did
that was with Edgy program And.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Just for the record, love to be like, oh you
guys are affiliated with no Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Just for the record, No, no affiliation with Fox News,
Fox Sports one, or like NFL on five.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
It's like how Maddingly and Greenwell are cousins.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, Like there's no real affiliation other than the name
and the brand.

Speaker 14 (34:16):
Right.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
I have a question, how does one in the eighties
carve out like we want to be a network channel?
That seems like that's like bedrock stuff like how do
you even get to become a network channel.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
It's sort of the wild West. I guess enough money
to do it.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Exam.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
It was really interesting.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
And I'm not trying to like I'm being serious when
I say, when you were a kid, before cable TV
was in every household and streaming, we all remember back
you'd flip the TV channels on, like on the Actually.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
What was it for you guys?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
What was Fox for you?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Fox five? Fox for us it was eight. Out here
it's eleven. Yeah, it was Fox five New York. And
I remember like CBS was two, MBC was four, and
NBC for US was seven. Whatever city you lived in,
they were missing channels. Like remember three was nothing. Three
is what you put your TV on for VCRs and stuff. Yeah,
they were missing channel. So I guess Fox just filed

(35:05):
the way in different markets to fill that niche.

Speaker 8 (35:07):
We didn't have a Fox affiliate for years and so
some of that programming like Beverly Hills nine or two
one oh at some point had to be aired at
like midnight on a Saturday night or Sunday morning. And
then when the NFL got the package, we still didn't
have a Fox affiliate, So they had to figure out
a way to put Packer games on and they ended
up being on the ABC affiliate.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Now correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Fox again carving its only as a little edgy, did
their whole Tracy Yeman thing which spawned the Simpsons, and
they were pushing the envelope because they were edgy, and
Barb was talking back to his parents.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Married with Children that was the other one.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Married with Children was way, let me hit you up
a little more in living color.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Oh yeah, so raise your hand. If your mom ever
said I don't know about this married with children's show,
oh that, I'm sure you should be watching this, and
she'd make us turn the channel.

Speaker 15 (36:01):
It was.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
It was borderline inappropate, especially for back then.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
It was my dad's favorite show, and I like, he
was like, you let me watch all the Yeah, but
it was it was definitely edgy. Married with Children was
definitely pushing the envelope.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
You said this.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
I remember getting in trouble in school, Danny because I
wore I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Shirt?

Speaker 2 (36:19):
And he heard it inside out. Al Bundy went to
what strip club? Did you go to the jiggle room?
When can we go there Hooters, Hooters, Yum yum yum.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Right, so way inappropriate based on Fox launching on this
day in eighty six, what other cartoons, radio shows, movies shows,
what are considered edgy? Back when you were little that
you remember sneaking when the parents went to bed. You know,
my wife, her mom wouldn't let her watch MTV or

(36:52):
vh one or anything. I thought it was all like
the davil pH one. She was the water boy mom, right,
So what were the edgy things you tuned into when
the parents left the house or I don't know, when
it was late.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
At night, maybe too violent it thinking back to the
skin Imax days.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Dude, late all right, so your phone calls next old
school and fifty hits right here on Fox Sports Radio,
I think of I don't know if it was meant
to be edgy, but it was a little on the
perverted side.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
What's up.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
My dad would be watching Benny Hill as a kid,
and I would watch with him, and they would they'd
be women in lingerie running around all over the place. Oh, Willard,
go will.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Willard.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
It was great because you'd sit there as a kid.
My dad would be laughing his ass off but I'd
be like, whoa, what's up Willard?

Speaker 10 (37:46):
Hey, what's up? Covino? What's up? Rich? What's up? Diamonds
and pearls? Diamond Dan? You know, you know how long
I've been listening Diamond Dance. Anyways, Guys, I used to
have a string cooked up of my TV to where
I can turn it off because it had to switch.
I could turn it. I can make the string and
turn it off before my mom walked in. And yes,

(38:09):
Benny Hill was one, but the real one, the real one,
the real one was on showtime and it was after hours. Man,
you will, you will?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I love that. I remember that if you had that
box too.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
We had a box with the wire, the box, the
wire before we had like I don't know, your regular remote.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
It was an analog cable cable box.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
If you pressed three channels just a certain way, the
right way, you'd get that scrambled Playboy or Spice channel.
And again that's what we're talking about moments.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
The cable boxes that had the turn knobs. You could
also like hold it in between two of the pay
channels and get it to unscramble. But my brother would
like get a baseball card folded and have to stick
it in there so that it would hold the position,
or he would just make.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
You hold it.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Your imagination would run off because you where you see
some crazy stuff.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
He watched the show called Lady Chatterly on Cinemax.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
I remember that. I remember Lady Channeling.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
I remember late night Skinmax was pretty edgy for the
time for you know, a regular cable channel. But back
to Benny Hill. You know, Benny Hill would be patting
the old guy in the head, but they'd be running
around in fast speed to that song with all these
women with their with their ghibli bits hanging out for
the most bits. Yeah, so you're like, whoa. I remember,
as I've joked before, I used to I used to

(39:30):
tape some of those late night Cinemax movies on VHS
tapes and label them forty nine Ers Game so that
my mom would never you know, I'd be like, forty
nine ers Bears Monday Night.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Meanwhile, it would be do you.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Remember Bikini Carwatch Company Out also perverted eighties comedies. There
was one that I I'll never remember the name, but
it was a dude that made a wish and and
the genie was like really hot.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
It was like something on a beach. Is this just
a fantasy?

Speaker 1 (39:58):
I had no, but if everyone was, I'm talking about
miracauzam with Shaquille O'Neil.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Is it miracle beach? Is that possible?

Speaker 1 (40:05):
So anyway, if you know, let us know at eight
seven seven ninety nine, Ol Fox and I'm gonna give
you one more. I gave you Benny Hill and he agreed,
Thanks for the call.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
On the music front, I remember how how naughty and
wild and rebellious I felt listening to Twisted Sister as
a kid. Maybe for you that was NWA or even
run dmc early on or something, or dare I say
the genre of rep Twisted Sister for me was that band.

(40:34):
Parental Advisory D Snyder actually fought.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
That right, but I would have to lower it.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
If I heard my mom coming up the steps and
I was listening to You're Gonna Burn in hell ah Burn,
I'd have to lower it.

Speaker 16 (40:46):
Bex.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
I'm like, I do know.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
My mom would think I'm some sort of devil worshiper
and that it was a different time. My aunts would
go to my mom, are you sure you want Stephen
listening to that? So I'd have these posters in my room.
But that's what was considered edgy time. What was the
story you want to tell me? Like you were listening
to if I would if I could just kill a man? Oh,
that was the only time my dad, Yeah, it was
the only time. My dad sort of reprimanded me. I

(41:09):
was listening to the O G Cypress Hill. Heyre is
something you can't understand how I could just kill the man?

Speaker 2 (41:16):
My dad came in, Amen, that's what you're listening to,
killing may that you listen to me? And I was like,
I don't know, pill you want to kill people?

Speaker 3 (41:26):
What wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
But that was that was nineties, right, But we're going
eighty six. But whatever that story is for you, there's
no rules here. Yeah, we're talking about what you remember
pushing the envelope that now when you look back, really
is nothing. I Danny, I'll say it again. He brings
up the music. I think the genre of rapping itself
was had amitation.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
There was a lane in My mom used to tell me,
why can't you just listen to the positive rap? Because
there was like, you know, gangster rap. Yeah, there was.
There were different kinds of rap.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Guys like Snoop Dogg and guys like ice Cube or
like family friendly dudes right now, those are the those
bad dudes on planet Earth.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
At one point there was definitely edgy, there's no question
about them.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
On Yeah, there were rappers like Chuck D and KRS
one and guys like that that were trying to teach
you something. And I know because of kr as one, right,
and then there was NWA and some of the gangster rap.
And my mom remember those MEMORYX tapes that were like
pink and yellow swirl colors. Of course, my mom was
curious about what was on some of those tapes in
my bedroom while I was at school. She listened and

(42:25):
it was nw A how to blank a Blank, and
she lost her mind. When I got home from school,
she said, just because we're in this environment we're in
we were in LA at the time, doesn't mean you
could listen to this raunchy music edgy. Either you listened
to the either you listened to positive rap music or
no rap music, right, yeah, And so you know, I

(42:48):
had to be very careful with what music I was
even djaying on my turntables in my bedrooms.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Kimino's mom give them a Karen Carpenter CD. The d
Cassett and said, how about this? Even I'm like, no,
Chris AND's sister, I want to rock. But you know,
back to TV too. I don't think anyone's gonna say it,
so I'll say it. Andrew Dice Clay was his edgy
as a guy because he was doing nursery rhymes. You
vibed with that as a kid, But you didn't want

(43:13):
your mom here, you repeated him at a recess. Yeah,
but you you played dumb when your mom's like, well,
what's that? You know, let's go the phone calls? And
on the anniversary of Fox debuting and again it just
pushed the envelope with in living collar and like we said,
the Simpsons and married with children what used to be

(43:34):
considered pushing the envelope? Looking back, it's pretty funny that
should we blame Fox for opening up the floodgates? Are
we better off with all this smarting runch? I have
a few more great examples, but I don't want to
steal them. So let's go to Boo and Texas. We'll
start with you. What's up boat, Hey Boo, Hey, we're here,
you man? What what what was considered raunchy or why

(43:55):
or edgy back in the day.

Speaker 17 (43:57):
Yeah, so my mom was pretty cool, like stuff like
Saturday Night Live she thought was pretty edgy, but she
let us watch it, like me and my brother and
even some of the late night stuff on HBO.

Speaker 16 (44:09):
But she was like, don't don't ever tell anybody outside
the house, like, don't talk about it at school and
all this kind of stuff until my brother brought home
the first two Live crew.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Say, oh, forget about even the album cover was edgy.

Speaker 17 (44:24):
Yeah, yeah, he kind of snuck it in and he
was like, look what I got and we never we
never played that one out loud.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Dude, there's smut everywhere now right, I mean, listen the
younger generation. What's that fact that one out of ten
girls eighteen to twenty five has her own only fans page,
Like we live in a world where, yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
People, this is a team.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
I remember bringing home, Like, if you brought home a
like a post of a girl big boobs from Spencer's
Gifts and put on your wall, your mom might have
been like, what are you doing? My mom had a
heart attack when I took down my Don Mattingly Hitman
poster to put up some Cindy Crawford.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Really quick. Just to go back to what you were
saying a minute ago about how it opened things up.
It did off the air, Iowa Sam was saying that
we got to see a lot of good programming that
we would have missed out on. And also it was
some creative freedom that we still wouldn't have, maybe because
I worked at NBC Sports Radio prior to this network.

(45:21):
Most of the stuff, I'll say eighty percent of what
we joke about on this show and what we're able
to do, I couldn't do on that network. We'd get
yelled at because they wanted to be more of a
CBS you know what Rich was saying before about bland
and be careful and safe and all that. And because
the Fox brand is somewhat irreverent, we're able to do
things and have fun in a way that we normally

(45:42):
wouldn't get to.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Sure, they weren't breaking any rules technically, and we're just
pushing them as far as they could go. I'll tell
you what, when we before here were I think we're
a little less fun. At ESPN, they were a little
you know, before they let McAfee sot of just do
what he wants. Before that, they were very like oh no, no, yeah, absolutely,
So back to your phone calls because I got a
bunch of answers. But what was considered edgy back? Then

(46:05):
you want to tuck the trip? Yeah, let's let's go
to Vegas. Hey, trip in Vegas.

Speaker 18 (46:09):
Hey, gentlemen, I've been watching it all on TV. I
think you'll need money again. You're looking kind of thin
around there.

Speaker 19 (46:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (46:16):
The uh I'm gonna watch the Bikini Carwash too when
I get home on HBO Max. That's a great one.
I was gonna say back in the day, first parent
advisory lyrics I had was Icy back when he was
a rapper, and then Richard Pryor. I brought that home
one time and they turned it on and the first
words out of his mouth was the effort. My father's like,
you turned that off? Yeah, I mean, because it was

(46:37):
a look on their face the first word.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
So it's good.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Now, honestly, it's a lot of Eddie Murphy too, You're
I mean, I remember my mom walking me out of movies,
like pulling me by my ears because it would get
too raunchy. I remember my mom walking out of like
I think it was like forty eight hours. Eddie Murphy
movies like because of the language, do you remember just
a different time speaking of it, and that you got
me thinking of even deeper stuff.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Now.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Of course there's gonna be really good general answers, but
specific movies and shows that had a scene that made
you feel uncomfortable. But looking back now it would be
nothing in twenty twenty five tame. But maybe back then
you were like, oh my god, because I just thought
of one. We all watched this movie a million times
as a kid, Goonies when they dropped the statue and

(47:24):
the penis breaks off the statue. Oh my god, with
that little scene when you pun attended with that scene,
when you watch that, and and you know, mouth was like, yeah,
that's her favorite part of the statue that when watching
that with your parents, I remember having stomach aches.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
They gluted upside down.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Yeah, they gluted.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
But when you were a weird part of the story, though,
is when Rich told me this earlier. He said that
giant penis, and I was like, what are you talking about.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
That is a great thought, though, Rich, because there were
certain scenes in certain VHS tapes where our parents would
make us hit the fast forward button top gun whenever
that scene would come on where he finally looked up
with his instructor. Yeah, and it's I look back at
it now, it's such a lame love scene. But my
mom made us fast forward that every time.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
It's funny. My dad used to love the movie and
probably still does.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Bachelor Party, Oh yeah, I don't even know, an I
don't know if I know that movie, And it's entirely
because my dad would let me watch. But ever so
often he would just be like, put a pillow in
freddyr face for us, and I would I'd have to,
I'd have to do that. So I'm gonna steal a
Danny g answer because I thought the same thing when
we said, let's talk about this. When I was a kid,
I remember listening to early Howard Stern because my dad

(48:33):
would listen to him, and I remember he would get
those but Bungo fiestas he would order those early pay
per views. I'd be sneaking down the stairs just to
see what was going on, like, what are they watching
over here? But listening to those early radio programs, that
was wow, that was way edgy for the time.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
I texted you guys this morning about this topic. That
in the early nineties, my mom would not let us
have Howard when he was on E. She'd make us
turn the channel. I watched so much Howard Ster on E.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Well, because you remember the commercials that were there during
that Girls Gone Wild commercials were those and wild on
would be.

Speaker 7 (49:07):
On after that with those episodes of Hard Stern like
of the time or were they like from years prior?

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Do the TV show I worked with all those dudes?

Speaker 7 (49:15):
Man, Yeah, that was that was going on plays, but
they were all current real time. They're on like eleven
thirty at night on E, so we were. I was
just that was what I watched as like a teenager.
So funny, man, I have another one that I watched
this show with my mom at this show on ABC
in the mid nineties, like actually late eighties, I think
pushed the envelope. Do you guys know this theme NYPD

(49:39):
blue for both language and nudity. The show was very edgy,
very raunchy, very real and also homicide Life on the
Street we watched together.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
No, That's why it's a great answer, Sam, because you
think from today's perspective of like this was edgy and
it was that's that's how much things. Yeah, that's how
much life has changed. So so let's get back to
the phone calls. You know what, I have one more
and then well we'll go to the feedback. I don't
think anyone's gonna say this one gud. You mentioned how
It Stern? Yeah, I mean he was ever the member

(50:10):
pig Vomit in the movie. He was how It Stern
is the devil. I mean, so think about where you know,
especially women have learned to really own their sexuality. Right
Like back in the day, I remember sitting in my
room listening to Love Line. There was Doctor Judy. I
know there were other ones, Doctor Ruth, but Doctor Judy
was a syndicated show. And remember Doctor Drew had his show.

(50:33):
Love Line was a big deal.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
Wasn't Adam Carolla on that show at one point?

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Adam Carolla of course.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
And now fast forward, Call Her Daddy is like one
of the top podcasts in the country, and it is
like it makes that seem like children's cartoons.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
What you listen to on Loveline actually helping people.

Speaker 7 (50:52):
People call in and they have like an std and
they like describe it for Doctor Drew and he's like, yeah,
you have.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Now Call Her Daddy just teaches women how to give
good you know too rich.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
As a parent, though, you have these viversations with your
with your kids because I'll tell my daughter melody about
Beavis and butt Head or something like that.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Like with television MTV. MTV was kind of edgy.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah, and they had Beavis and butt heead but at
the time that was pushing the envelope even further than
The Simpsons and then of course South Park. But to
me dis butt Head, yeah, Ren and Stimpy, they all
pushed the envelope. So a kid will watch that today
and be like, got, that's stupid, But you have to
explain to them. Yeah, but at the time Beavers and Buttthead,
it's like your parents or grandparents telling you like, oh,

(51:35):
they had a blur out. They had to cut out
Elvis shaking his hips. Women and men didn't sleep in
the same bed in television until what was it The
Flintstones or I Love Lucy one of those. Well, you know,
she could have also sexuality.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
I'm pretty certain.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
This fun fact is Dawson's Creek in the two thousands
had the first gay kiss on television.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Before that, that was you know where we are in
twenty twenty five compared to twenty years ago. So we've
we've come a long way. So let's go to Mike
in Minnesota. What's up, Mike, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 18 (52:07):
You know, so you stole the love line?

Speaker 10 (52:09):
It was one of the things.

Speaker 12 (52:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (52:12):
The other one though, that I get a kick out of.
It's like after watching a rerun of Wings or something.
Nikita Usa, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Those are good ones for sure, Nikita, Chris and Indy.
You're on with Kevin on retch.

Speaker 15 (52:28):
Chris, all right, you guys got my uh my wild
on eve Brooke Burke scene because every few minutes you
can you may be able to catch a thong. But
uh so, I've got another one for you.

Speaker 10 (52:40):
You guys remember the Man Show.

Speaker 15 (52:42):
I don't remember what channel it was one.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Yeah, Corolla, Camo back in the day. Yeah, that was,
that was that was.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
That's what you know is ironic about Jimmy Kimmel today.
I'm not saying people don't grow and change, but that's
always what comes back at him, like, Hey, you mean
the guy that had women on trampolines with the little people,
And that's fine, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
It was great. In fact, I like that version, but
I mean people love to bring that up.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
He also hosted Win Benstein's Money Evan in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
You're on What's Up?

Speaker 4 (53:13):
Buddy?

Speaker 19 (53:14):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 14 (53:15):
Guys that have one that's a little bit more obscure.
Do you guys remember the animated movie Heavy Metal?

Speaker 2 (53:19):
I do?

Speaker 9 (53:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (53:21):
I mean my dad like would always quote that movie.
I remember showing it to some friends and they go
home and tell their parents and next thing you here,
Well you sure it was like what you saw? Some
animated tits and ass and cursing, like, get over it.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
That's so funny.

Speaker 12 (53:35):
Man.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Hey, thank you to hear what Evan said. Catch the podcast.
I don't think you can said that word. I'm not
sure if you could say that, but please catch our
podcast anyway. All right, yeah, thank you, Sam. So it
wasn't for Fox. We couldn't say any of the words.
It was considered edgy back in the day. Hey, guys, listen,
we don't laugh to any dirty jokes and we don't

(53:58):
curse in front of my parents. All right, I'd have
to talk with my friends before they came in the house.
All right, let's say hi to we'll go Rapid Fire
and then we'll go to DB's update. We'll so with
Waco Adam, you're all with Ce and R. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 18 (54:10):
Hey guys, You guys have a funny story.

Speaker 14 (54:12):
When I was fifteen or sixteen, my mom and I
decided to go to the movie Theatergether. We didn't know
we were going to see, so we ended up seeing
something about Mury together.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Oh the in the well, the Franken beans, the in
the hair hair, Oh my god, oh yikes. You know
it was pretty edgy. I'm gonna bring it back to
sports just for a second. It's Fox Sports Radio. I
always thought morgana the Kissing Bandit was kind of edgy
because she came out of bouncing around. If you remember,
I thought el Viro's kind of edgy. She was showing

(54:40):
a lot back then. I'd stay up late for it.
Could I tell you that? My brother is newly single,
just went through a divorce, and it was the most
cringey thing is you know, we're all adults now. My mom,
in front of me and my brother, said well, Jimmy,
you're single now, like when you go on these dates,
like how long are you waiting to have sex with
these random women? My brother and I like Jesus from Mom,

(55:02):
that's it. My Mom's like, we're all adults.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
No, we're not. We don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
These are lines we don't cross. We leave the room
and there's a nudie scene. We do not have these conversations.
And you know what, just to take you back to
that mindset we talked about the scrambled channels. You know,
you stayed up late watching that HBO jingle, that feature
presentation waiting for a rated R.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
You're like, come on, rated R.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Let's go, yes, rated, Let's go back to the rapid
fire as soon as you finish this lyric for me
that you were scared to sing as a kid. Ready, Yeah,
old miss John Glenn listen, beat Patterson, Pope, Paul Malcolm X,
British politician, sick JFK blown away.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Yeah, I'm not singing that John and Montana. What's up? Johnny?

Speaker 10 (55:48):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 12 (55:48):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (55:49):
Real quick with a rapid fire kind of took the
Beavis butthead here, But uh, that was my whole thing
is a like an eight nine year old kid, and
then my older to a little movie called So Bigger
Longer Ut.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Yeah, way that's great, way different. And you know what,
it's so tough to monitor as a parent, like you're
gonna try to keep euphoria away from your teenage kids.
They're exposed to so much.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
It's horrible, it really is.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
But like it's almost something you need to prepare them
for because there's no way to stop it.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
Our teenager watches Love Island, right, and I don't like it,
but there's no way I can.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Stop her, stop it. All the kids are talking about phone, Yeah, exactly,
go to a friend's house. It's there's no way. So
they're exposed to so much. You almost have to you know,
not necessarily, uh, you know, giving advice here, but you
almost have to just be a good parent, guide them
the right way and hope they make the right decisions
because you can't keep this stuff away from the right Dan,
do you have a teenage daughter watching Love Island? What

(56:49):
do you think that's not gonna happen? And it's as
simple as them. Like, for you to be exposed to something,
it's because you found it in the street somewhere, or
you found your dad's collection or whatever happen by chance.
You almost now it's a link. Your kid opens a
link could be something terrible, So you just got to
tell them, Look, that's not the norm and make good choices.
Like Rich said, No Dylan in Illinois, what's up Dylan?

Speaker 12 (57:13):
Hey, I got one that kind.

Speaker 20 (57:16):
Of blurs the lines of an energy.

Speaker 8 (57:19):
Hey, if you guys remember talk sex with Sue Johanson,
but a little old lady would talk about everything.

Speaker 10 (57:26):
From like physicians to the things they've been throwing on
the court at w NBA game.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Yeah, that sound like a doctor, Rufe.

Speaker 7 (57:34):
That's a very doctor and I were talking about it
was like better sex end you're getting in high school,
absolutely better. And she was a Canadian and should come
on and I think on e after Howard Stern, anyone
ever find it.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Weird than in school?

Speaker 1 (57:44):
It was like the random gym teacher that had to
like talk to you guys about stuff like that. Mister
buzzcut taught you about puberty's rob you're on what's up?

Speaker 2 (57:56):
What up?

Speaker 4 (57:57):
Texas?

Speaker 1 (57:58):
He?

Speaker 3 (57:58):
Uh?

Speaker 21 (57:59):
Yeah, So back in the day when you had to
pay one hundred dollars for a video membership and DHS
just came out for my uncle bringing home risky Business
and the parents and all the adult sittings back to
our bedrooms, good to bed early.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
And watching it.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
What I thought he was going to say.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
I thought he was going to say when you would
go to the video store and they had the one
part where it was behind like the beaded door and
like you would see like your you know, your neighbor
back there.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
What does he do?

Speaker 15 (58:25):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Can't go back there? Hiding in Florida? What's up? Hidi? Hey, Heidi, Hey,
Hey Hey.

Speaker 19 (58:30):
For me, I was a young teenager and I had
the album Donna Summer and she had the song loved
to love You Baby, and it went it got very orgasmic.

Speaker 10 (58:43):
That was like, oh wow, love me baby.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
I'm wearing a Playboy T shirt today. This is in
reference to a Muhammad Ali article that they wrote in
seventy four Playboy. But to think that this doesn't even
exist because we're so past the envelope. That's not enough,
it's not enough. Play was his risk if you got
your hands on a VHS.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
This is risk as a guy.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Steven Odessa wrap it up and then we'll go to
Dan for an update. What's up, Steve?

Speaker 20 (59:11):
What's up? Guys? A long time? Second time? I remember
and my mom worked nights as a product of a
single mom, and when I was a kid, there was
a late night show on East Field called The Hitchhiker.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 20 (59:23):
It was like a thirty minute kind of sludy. I
kind of mixed some horror in there, but that was
like my first introduction staying up late at night just
to you know, catch thirty minutes. I'm hoping they'd have
a nudity because I always say bad language.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Yeah, yeah, it was great. It was very up.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
It was very tales from the cryptish kind of the Hitchhiker.
Good one, dude, There's just five words to say as
you go down, down, down.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Oh, I gotta lower it. My mom's coming. I'll lower
it a What are you listening to, Steven? Why are
you the devil? Oh no, my mom's virgineers.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
You can't believe all the things that go wrong in
my life.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
I was such a rebel little kid. I had the
best childhood.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
I was so mad try and not live on the
joven Na, the Snyder, my hero bro So Cavino and Rich.
You know how he said sex was a dirty word,
and all your songs, of course, if it was sung
in front of your parents, it was a nightmare. I
remember hell was a dirty word.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
In Hell.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
I remember doing a talent show and it was bon
Jovi and I was in great. I was like fifth
grade or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
You promised me, heaven, you put me through hell?

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Right, we had to say put us, put you through
pain or heck or something that because you couldn't say
that in front of people because it was pushing the envelope.
You so different from today's world. You know, it's a
dirty word in today's world. My kids will say, like
you said the S word. I'm like, I said the
S word like like poop like that, Like, no, Dad,

(01:01:09):
you said stupid. I'm like my kids thinks like kids
now they good though you want to Yeah. Teachers, yeah,
teachers will tell the kids something they hear that like stupid,
dumb and like words it demean others. So I was
reading Doctor Sus the other day and there's like I
was the like we're reading like one fish, two fish,
red fish, bluefish, and like they're like and the fat

at Giants. I don't like to overthink these things because truthfully,
we've been doing a pretty good job on these teaser
bets on Thursday nights and Monday nights.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
In fact, wait, wait, you're being humbled nine and oh
I'm nine and oh so I'm like, so now you're nervous.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Because so weary.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
I don't want to overthink it. But my instinct is
bringing me somewhere, so follow me here. And I think
so the Eagles are seven and a half point favorites
in New York. Well, I do think it'll be fun
to watch Jackson dart and while I do think all
eyes on and you know, see what happens, and you know,

(01:03:12):
cam scataboo and maybe you got some new gloves.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
I'll hold onto the ball. I like taking that teaser
bet seven and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
Making it one and a half. I think Philadelphia wins,
so Philly minus one and a half. The over under
is forty one and a half. I'm tempted to go
up to forty seven and a half and taking the under.
I just don't see a ton and ton a ton
of points being scored, So I'm liking under forty seven
and a half Philly minus one and a half. Lock

(01:03:39):
that in as your teaser bet. We'll see what happens.
And by the way, Danny, you may have just caught
a big break and error by the Philadelphia Phillies. Now
has the Dodgers with first and third, two down, and
you got Mookie Betts at the plate against Sanchez and

(01:04:00):
want a diving played by Bryce Harper gets out of
the inning. That right, there was a that was a play.
We said, Bryce Harper, he's going to be the guy.
So you got your Phillies Dodgers, you got your Brewers Cubs,
and of course your Eagles giants. And we'll be talking
about it tomorrow on the show. So I helpe all
your teams win. I hope you make some money moves.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
So you think Moncey Jink shit yesterday they wore an
Yankee shirt?

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Dude, If she did, I'm never talking to her again.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Oh hi, Manzi, Oh what's going on?

Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
I wasn't listening.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Did you still start over you Jinks Cavino yesterday about
wearing a Yankee shirt?

Speaker 22 (01:04:33):
You know what, I'm sorry that I felt the same
way and anymore. I wore it because I was like
Aaron Judge finally, you know, like I will not take
slander on just only a few people in my life.
My mom, Taylor Swift Aaron Judge, Blake Griffin, stop, I
like that?

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
You like that? Less?

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
So I'm not taking place.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Everybody shut up and put the blame on Anthony Volpi.
Now Mancy set fire to it was Arson Judge. She
actually wearing Arson Judge shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Speaking of Volpi.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Now, speaking of Voltpie, we do something called they might
be asked, and we do it in six minutes on
