(00:24):
to ninety nine m Fox or Throwback Conversation. I want
to tell you why Aaron Rodgers is like boys to men. Oh,
hold up, bro hold up, because Danny g said, Hey, man,
I don't tell you guys what to talk about, but no,
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Look at all these great topics we have today. There's
no need for you to spend a half hour on
Aaron Rodgers when there's absolutely no news about where he's
actually going to be playing or sitting his butt on
the beach retiring.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh I'm sorry I missed that text Nowdady, I just
I did have a deep thought about Aaron Rodgers and
how he's very much like your favorite R and B
supergroup from the nineties, Boys to Men. Boy bands ruined him.
You're on the right track, because you know boy bands
ruined a great thing, which was Boys to Men? Don't

(01:14):
you ruin my better than Colin Cowhard an algie? Okay ahead,
all right? Zip it ors? How is Aaron Rodgers like
Boys to Men? If you watch the documentary on Netflix
back in the day, I believe it's called This is Pop,
and you realize that Boys to Men was dominate in
the world Motown, Philly. It's the end of the road,

(01:36):
like they were on top of the world. Who was
bigger than Boys to Men? I remember having my first
couple skate with a girl in seventh grade at the
roller skating rink, trying to get a little smooch while
Boys to Men was playing in the background. Me, you're
talking to one of their biggest fans. Coolly high harmony. Man.
I loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
And then when she broke up with you, you put
on bended knee on a mixtape correct sipping ain't easy.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Get over here, junior high makeouts, bla la la. So
we all have funness for Boys to Men. I'd like
to think, right, big time love in fact, the fun
fact I got to sing with Boys to Men on
our show. I loved Boys to Men, so I was
like dum Dada. So how I can think of a

(02:23):
few ways in which Aaron Rodgers is like them, but
I don't want to ruin your surprise. So Aaron Rodgers
is like boys to Men, And I'll explain boys to Men.
In that docuse series This is Pop, they talked about
how Boys to Men went from playing arenas and sometimes stadiums,
number one hit records, Grammy Awards, Grammys, and then all

(02:48):
of a sudden came the boy band explosion in sync
Backstreet ninety eight degrees. Oh Town like boy band?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I was like no town.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
They sort of replaced boys to Men on young girls
bedroom walls. Well, everybody started associating Boys to Men as
a boy band sort of act, and he lost a
lot of credibility as that sort of faded.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
And that was for pop fans rich, not R and
B fans.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, they sort of lost their R and B vibe
and people threw them into that mix. So overnight, it seemed,
they talk about this on the documentary, Overnight they went
from selling out arenas to yo, should we play at
the mall?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
They were playing casinos and it.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Was a quick fall from grace where one minute you
winning Grammys and everyone knows your song songs, and then
you're trying to decide should I be playing at the
you know, at the Tapanga mall for a couple hundred people.
I think they opened up for the Zach attack. And

(03:56):
who is the Sparkles girl on Robin Sparks. I think
they opened up for Robin Sparkles at one point. And
how is this like Aaron Rodgers. I'll tell you how,
because you could go from the hottest commodity in the
game to yeah, I really don't care that much anymore
real quick in sports music and entertainment, grand open in

(04:17):
grand clothes, and Aaron Rodgers this morning when he talked
to McAfee, even talked about how I'm not looking for
forty fifty million dollars year. In fact, he'll play for
a lot less.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I had a lot of great conversations with a lot
of teams. I've been straight up with these teams from
the start about where I was at, you know, starting
with the money thing. I told every single one of
the teams I talked to, you know, laying about the money.
I'll play for ten ms. You know, I don't care.
I never once said I need a multi year deal
thirty forty million dollars. I said, I played for ten.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
So Aaron Rodgers at least is accepting the boys to
men fall from I'm the elite. I'm the elite, fifty
sixty million dollar guy. He gets it. It's nice to
hear that he has a realistic expectation of what he
deserves at this point in his career. That's nice. And

(05:08):
when you think about that, I have so many other thoughts.
All right, well, I have two other ways in which
he's like voice to men. Okay, but first let me
tell everyone. We are doing it live from the Tirac

by pick predictions reactions through the first round and it's
all with our good friends at ship Station. Yeah, Thursday
at eight ship Station. Thank you very much. So tell

(06:11):
me other ways how Aaron Rodgers is like boys to bed,
and of course we want to know your thoughts too
about Aaron Rodgers. There's a few updates on Aaron Rodgers
Big Story today eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Don't you Derek extend this segment.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
He's come to the end of the road, damn, and
it's so hard to say goodbye. I say, you did that,
and I think he should look I am the first guy.
One of the rules here on the Coveno and Rich
Show is, you know, they'll tell other people how to
spend their money, and they'll tell other people how to
live their life and how they should live their legacy.

(06:47):
So if Aaron Rodgers wants to play, and he's willing
to play for ten million a year as a back,
is he willing to play back up. I don't think
he's willing to do that. Okay, you know, I think
maybe he should look into that too. But I'm saying
I'm the first guy to say, it's none of our business.
Is his legacy to who enhance or tarnish? Is his life?
I believe Banjovi said that too. He did it's his
life now never. But I really feel at this point

(07:11):
and at this stage, and for where he's at and
what he's been through with the injury and bouncing around, now,
I think it's time to call it quits. Unless he's
willing to play backup. I think it's time to retire,
and he should be proud of that. And I'm never
that guy. In fact, I don't think I've really ever
leaned into that as much. I've talked about it because
it's been an option, it's been talked about. But I

(07:32):
really think it's time, man. And I feel like at
this stage it's like you're overstepping your overstepping you're welcome.
He's overstepping and overstaying at the same time because he's
got other teams waiting around to see what he's gonna do.
It's almost disrespectful at this point's Steeler line. He's saying,
right as of now, that bro, there's no timeline and

(07:53):
he has no retirement decisions in mind. The Steelers have
Kyle Rudolph in their quarterback room sort of just like
you said, is what I say, Kyle Rolf. I love
that guy. I've mentioned him, like, yeah, the Kyle Rudolph
Vikings tight end reference You've done a couple times. For
some reason, I must have a thing. Maybe I'll meet
him and will become best buds.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Now, to be fair to Aaron Rodgers, he did say
that he's not holding the Steelers hostage, that he's telling
them they can move on if they need to.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I mean, that is true, But that's like a girl
telling you, like, well, if you want, you could see
other people, and you're like, well, I know what that means,
because then if I do, it's over right. I get it. Though,
on the flip side, you can say, well that's on
the Steelers. You can sleep with whoever you want. Okay,
come on. But as the Toady said back in the nineties,
make up be all mind, make up your mind, dude.

(08:43):
Aaron Rodgers like boys to men, the fall from Grace
was there. They acknowledge he's not playing stadiums anymore. He's
playing malls, and it happens real quick. I love that
he acknowledges it. But interestingly enough, if he's willing to
pay play for ten million dollars, is shocking that no
one else has bit because I thought the hang up

(09:04):
was I don't know who wants to pay him thirty
forty to fifty mil for a year or two. If
he's selling teams, I'm okay with one year ten mil
if it's the right fit. You don't think teams like
the forty nine ers scratch your noggin a little bit,
like yeah, now that that's public information, public knowledge. It
also makes the fans put pressure on the teams to

(09:25):
be like, yo, well then we should get them if
that's the case. If if that sounds good to you,
for ten million dollars, it's not a bad deal. And
you know what, when when the story's written, like we
all sort of lived it, so we all have our opinions.
But looking back, looking back, let's say fast forward thirty
years from now, we're not going to say he fell
off a cliff or that he hit a wall. We're

(09:46):
going to say that he suffered a bad injury and
that's why his career wasn't the same. Yeah, right, like
we often sort of forget, like how serious that was.
Dude missed the whole season. Yeah, as a result. It's
not like he was thinking now he got hurt. It
might come back to my thought months ago. And again
I'm never the I told you so guy. In fact,

(10:09):
people that do that I want to karate kick judo chomp.
But I did say a couple months ago when we
were speculating, oh what team would it be Minnesota or
the Steelers or the Giants, or when we were speculating
the few teams, I said, you know what makes the
most sense to me? And maybe I was right, you know,
like a broken clock is right. Twice a day, I said,
what if Aaron Rodgers starts the season without a job,

(10:31):
and then he's the savior that comes in because we're
likely to see at least one or two starting qbs
go down mid season on a decent enough team, and
then who's the hero that comes in for five to
ten million dollars halfway through the season, Aaron Rodgers. And
again the update today Fox Sports Radio Nation. He says
there's no deadline with the Steelers, and they in fact

(10:52):
can do whatever they want. As Danny said, there's no
deadline with the Steelers or any other team, and no
retirement decisions of now Aaron Rodgers. Some people sick of
hearing about it and hearing about him. I allow, Danny
g but it's kind of hard to avoid. And you
have any other ways in which he's like boys to manage.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's like the water runs dry.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Danny, I have one more analogy that's way less cool
than boys to men. I know it's a movie. Covino
probably thinks it's like super corny and way too corny
for a guy like Steve Covino. Is it a movie
you like? Yes, then yeah, you're probably right right. Has
anyone here seen the legendary rom com My Best Friend's Wedding?

(11:36):
Oh my god, come on, dude. Is that where Julie
Roberts stands up and has a sing along the moment
I wake up? That is sprinkled with extra but oh
my makeup? Yeah, listen, there's cheesy scenes. I'm not saying
it's one of my favorites. I saw that part and
I left.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's a juicy lucy. It's oozing cheese.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, yeah, I mean never seen it movies, Danny g
You've never seen my best friend's wedding movie? Yeah, you
ain't missing anything, dude. There's a sports background. I remember
the dad kemeron Diez' dad is what the owner of
the White Sox.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Did not recall that fact.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
There's like multiple scenes that take place that I believe
the old Cone.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I can't say I remember that movie very well. They fell.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
It was at any Julia Roberts movie at that time
was huge, right, So how does that tie into Rogers
because he's like Julia robertson this movie because at the
end of it, she's chasing after a guy who's chasing
after a girl, and everyone someone's chasing someone, and then
her gay best friend that I think it's played by
Rupert Everett is like Jules, no one's chasing You rewind

(12:40):
a couple of years. How many teams would have been
chasing Aaron Rodgers if I told you right now, Mahomes,
Joe Burrow, any of the top tier quarterbacks, Josh Allen,
if they were like, hey, guys, I'm available, thirty teams
would be like I want in. No one is biting
on Aaron Rodgers so much like and you know he's
gonna say, much like Julia Roberts in a totally different movie, mistake,

(13:04):
big mistake, big mistake, And I would root for that.
I want to make this clear too, Steve Cavino, just
the fan, just like everybody else. I'm not saying he's
retired because I don't like the guy, but I'm also
not rooting against him. Like if he comes out and
lights it up, believe you Me. I love that story,

(13:24):
I really do. I love seeing a great comeback story
or a second third chance story. If he comes back.
We were all wrong, man, Man, that would be so dope.
I would love to tell you, man, look at look
at Rogers. He still had some in the tank, because
we all want to feel that we still have something
in the tank. I'm not a I'd be rooting for

(13:46):
Rogers in that case. I'm a big fan of When
you say the phrase believe you me, it's a good one,
I feel because it puts more emphasises and I feel
I feel convinced, like, yeah, it just adds a little
more conviction.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
So Hey, I want to harp on Aaron Rodger. Yeah,
but it's a big story, hey to make. I don't
want to upset Danny j and I get it. We're
all we have Aaron Rodgers exhaustion. But there is one
more clef fatigue. You don't need to play the whole beat,
the whole clip, but I would say just the beginning
of how he talks about retirement and how he's a
forty one year old man. Life is different now, you know.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
I'm in a different phase of my life. I'm forty
one years old. I'm in a serious relationship off the field,
stuff going on that requires my attention, you know, to
make a commitment to the team is a big thing,
whether you're a first year player or a twenty year vet.
I've been straight up with these teams from the start
about where I was at, you know, starting with the
money thing. You know, I told every single one of

(14:37):
the teams I talked to main't about the money. I'll
play for ten ms, you.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Know, and that makes things a lot more clear. So again,
Aaron Rodgers fatigue is real, But I think that changes
It changes the conversation because you would imagine that a
guy like that comes in with an expectation, a built
in starting point of about forty million dollars. He's wanting
to take ten million dollars. What do you have to lose?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Was at that point rich So it's actually like pretty
woman because his rate has changed, not money anymore.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, just don't kiss on the mouth, Danny. I am
with you. Now we're done. We don't want Aaron Rodgers fatigue.
But how much of a chip is he with the
draft one week away? Because now let's say he's out.
Does that change a few teams options?

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Well?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
And thoughts specifically the Steelers, Steelers.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
And Minnesota who I mean they oddly hanging on to
maybe the Vikings.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
It looks like they've pushed all their chips into the
middle of the table.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
For JJ McCarthy, let me ask you this, do you
think Steelers fans want him? I want to hit up
like my personal Steeler friends and fans and people I know, like,
do you think the fans are like? Yeah, man, Rogers,
I don't know, you know, Like I said, when a
player is acquired on your team, it goes back to

(15:55):
my first lame Julia robertson Analogy and by the way,
good Luck funding another show that somehow ties the movies
and sports together. You go look and then you'll come
back and be like, rich, you were right. Like I
said in that movie, so did my best friend's wedding.
When no one was chasing Julia Roberts, It's like, well,
you ever remember does anyone really want you? In this
scenario when the Mets got Juan Soto, God were we happy?

(16:20):
When the Dodgers acquired Otani on that huge deal. My goodness,
jerseys are selling off the shelf when certain players are
acquired or re signed. The fan bases are crazy. Look
at the Lakers and Luca number one selling jersey in
the NBA.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
You got to remember, are the fans pumped or not?
Give me a team, right, that's a part of it.
Tell me Steeler's friends, right, seriously, just like take a
little just throw a text message out there and take
your own little test. Have you had any of your
Steelers friends say, man, I hope they get them. I haven't.
And I'm not saying that's the pl end all way

(16:57):
to figure this out, but I haven't heard one person
ext getting him. Because it feels I'm not saying it is,
but it feels like you're not moving forward. It feels
like you're moving backward if you make that move during
free agency. Danny J I've seen all this in the studio.
React when our player that we liked left our team
or got resigned. When your team acquires or loses a player,

(17:18):
he has a reaction like oh man or oh yeah,
heck yeah. Will Aaron Rodgers warrant that reaction from anyone? Well,
if Aaron Rodgers signs a one year deal with the Steelers,
Vikings or some mystery team that may come out of nowhere,
does the fan base explode in happiness? Well, here's the
other thing. And I hate to bring it up because
it's so obvious, but it is part of the conversation.

(17:40):
And it's not just him and where is he at
in his career? Because he's gonna offer great leadership, he's
gonna offer something for ten million dollars. It seems to
be worth it, But you also get that traveling circus
that comes along with them. Is that really worth it?
Is that part of the reason why you know it's
not that great of an option. And then you got
to ask yourself, well, the price tag is low if

(18:01):
a team has a quarterback, even if they're wishy washing
out their guy, what a kick in the huevos? Have you? Like, Yeah,
you know, we're gonna go with Aaron for a year,
but stick around because next year we may go with you. Like,
as a Niners fan, I find that to be appealing
because I think the Niners have a lot of great
offensive play key players still in place. Aaron Rodgers is
appealing if you don't want to pay brock Party fifty

(18:23):
sixty million dollars a year. But then on when that
one year is done, what do you do? You go, hey,
now you're back right, I don't know, So your thoughts
that's the big story today. Again he says there's no
deadline with the Steelers or any other team, and no
retirement decisions in the future. So your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers.
Apparently he's like boys to men and Julia Roberts, that's

(18:44):
what you got out of our show, Cavino and Rich
since we harp so much on Aaron Rodgers, even though
Danny G was super produced and saying, no, man, don't
talk about him. That's what he wants, you know, even
though Danny G told us not to. We spend so
much time. Not gonna have time talking about the greatest
athletes in the world, like whoever ever, I'll lah, Yeah,

(19:08):
Travis Hunter, who wants to play both sides of the ball. Right,
So based on that, we'll talk about him the greatest
athletes ever. We'll talk some baseball cards and friendly wagers
today Friendly wagers on over promise. The brand new episode
debuts an hour and a half from now. We go
live on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. So join the
join the chat now if you're talking about the greatest athletes,

(19:29):
I mean later on today we'll definitely talk about show hey,
oh Toney.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, absolutely, show hey Tony.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Right now, We're live from the Tyraq dot Com Studio
CNR and get you ready for your next hlarious PayPal
campaign with Will Ferrell. Ah, I wanna be with you
every day. I love that bay with you everywhere. Ready
for his rendition of Fleetwood Max go your own way

(19:57):
in a bathtub. Check out the tire that drops this
weekend and the commercial on Saturday during the games, right
all right now, the teaser drops today, by the way.
Oh nice, I can't wait. Love Will Ferrell. So Bill
Belichick is in the news and I find it to
be amazing how our perception of the sky has been

(20:22):
altered a little bit in the last boy, will you
say months, maybe years? What changed that him doing aerobics
on the beach, doing airplane with his girlfriend? What changed
your impression of his birthday was yesterday? I believe you
know where it really started, rich that Tom Brady roast. Yeah,
looking at me smiling out there having fun. He didn't

(20:42):
look as grumpy. Yesterday was his seventy third birthday, So
you know what I birthday? Hope to be having that
much fun at seventy three. Well, there's two stories that
involve his hot young girlfriend, who, by the way, is
running for Miss Maine USA. Did you see that she's
still a pageant girl? Good for her. The first part

(21:06):
of the story was when she wanted or he wanted
her c seed on all of his emails. Yep, people said, huh,
I mean, I guess okay, thought that was weird. And
then everybody went man at arms and up in arms
at the fact that she's on the practice field like

(21:27):
very prominently there. And you know, her being attractive doesn't
help because she's so noticeable. Yeah, she wasn't dressed down,
she was like dressed hot, right, And was she necessarily
doing anything wrong. Well, that's debatable because the story was, well,
why is she there? Like she's so prominently there, It's
like she's in the way. Why is she there? It's like,

(21:49):
my girlfriend's sitting here while we're doing a show, and
what was she doing here?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
She does clean your headphones right before each shows.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Me.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Once in a while she'll walk in and, you know,
give me a masash. But there are seriously, there is
something we said about this now, but the update is
this though Rich. Yeah, she was simply doing her job apparently,
like making sure the microphones were working properly. It's part
of her gig as an assistant producer or something like that, coordinator,
a producer for a documentary infomercial for NFL Films. And

(22:20):
also that's the other side of the story. Also, the
twenty four year old girlfriend Jordan Hudson wants to make
sure her boyfriend Bill Belichick his son receives the utmost respect.
They're saying, also, she's quality control. The reason she sees
seed on emails and present is that anytime this conversations

(22:43):
about well, whose son's there for nipotism reasons and she
apparently is like almost handling the administrative nonsense that Bill's
got no time for this. So she's sort of being
an assistant in a way, but the vibe is becoming
my well, she too prominently around. Why does he need

(23:04):
her around so much? I don't think this is a
Yoko Ono breaking up the Beatles situation. I think it's
a Bill Belichick has earned this situation. Well that's the question. Yeah,
Fox Sports Radio Nation, just based on some of the
stuff you've been seeing and hearing again c Seed on
the emails. She's on the practice field again doing her job,
but she's so prominently noticeable it's a little distracting. You're

(23:24):
so used to seeing Bill Belichick be his own guy,
and he's out there just being grumpy. Do you think
he's crossing the line a little bit, like optically in
a way? Is he crossing the line professionally in any way?
Or as Rich just said, did he earn it like
zip it? You're not Bill Belichick. He could do what
he wants. I mean, both could be true. Like I
personally think he's I think it's a weird look. I do.

(23:46):
He's the greatest coach of all time, arguably most Super
Bowl rings. Who's better than Bill Belichick? And Tom Brady
when they were together. I think he's earned any little perk,
especially Kavid. No, get this, this is not like he
took over for Jerry Jones and he was Jerry Jones
coach in Dallas or you know. Now Belichick, he's the
new head coach or the Jets or the Niners or

(24:07):
the you know, Falcons or something NFL team. He's at
UNC that historically has a bunk football program. You bring
in Bill Belichick, I think you roll at the red corporate.
If you're like, hey, Bill, you and your girl on
side by side foot rubs during practice? Do it? Yeah?
But you know to see, man, here's what happens. It
becomes online fodder and a distraction taking away from the team.

(24:29):
That's the thing. Is she doing anything wrong now? If anything,
is the fact that she's attractive, young and hot and
noticeable and people just can't stop talking about it because
it's an unconventional relationship. But I don't understand how how
we think this is going to negatively affect Bill Belichick.
I look at it this way. The only argument you
could give on the other side is you could tell

(24:51):
me if you work from home, you're just as effective.
But there's a part of it. It's like maybe not
one hundred percent right, Like I could work for home.
I could, but maybe you're Even if you're ninety nine
percent effective, you're still losing one percent when you do
this is almost like bring your kid to workday. When
you bring your kid to work. Let's say your kids

(25:12):
off from school and you're like, hey, yea, buddy, just
sit in the lobby. Well, dad works. You're you could
work fine, but you have to admit you're like one
percent distracted. That's what I'm saying. There's a little sense
of being distracted here, and it's also proof that she's
gonna be very involved in the UNC program moving forward.

(25:33):
That's the other takeaway. But I'm not I'm not trying
to compare his girlfriend to bring your kid to work day.
But think about it. If I told you, Cavino, it's
spring break this week, my wife had a meeting or
had to do something. Yeah, I'm gonna bring my son.
Don't worry. He's gonna sit in the lobby on his
iPad the whole time while I still do a great
show with you. You don't think every break I'd go
out there. You're like, hey, buddy, you need some Cheetos,
you need a juice box. You're still slightly distracted. And

(25:57):
it's not even that either. Look, let's be very clear too.
Props to Bill Belichick. He's got himself a hot young girlfriend.
All right, let's be real about it. Good for you, dude,
I'm glad you haven't men. When you whisper it like that,
it sounds creepier and young girlfriends. And you know he
like Joe Biden, he's a legend young girlfriend. He's a legend.
He's done it all. Great for him, but don't tell me.

(26:19):
And this goes both ways. This isn't a sexist comment.
If a guy is at the girl's workplace, or if
a guy's hanging out with the girls changes the dynamic.
Meaning rich, if all the boys are hanging out and
all of a sudden, my girlfriend comes and she's all
of a sudden hanging we're not ribbing on each other
the same way, right, And if we really wanted to
go at it, there is a sense of uh, I

(26:40):
don't want to do that in front of her, right,
And it goes both ways. If girls are doing girls
stuff and all of a sudden I come marching in Hey, ladies,
what's going on? You don't think that's a dynamic shifters
lets her to have like her there. Maybe the coaches
and the players they feel like they can't approach Bill
Belichick in the same way because it's in front of

(27:00):
his girlfriend. Like what if someone had, like like a
serious conversation where they really wanted to be heated at
Bill Belichick. Now they don't because she's there and it
could change things, and it does cause fodder that I
don't think is necessarily helpful. But is that warrant? Didn't know?
But that's just how life is because she's young and
attractive and he's Bill Belichick. I'll give you an example

(27:22):
and then we'll take your feedback. We'll go to Dan
Buyer for an update. I think Bill Belichick could do
whatever he wants, and I'll explain why. Well, I mean,
he is give me the biggest sports talk show in
the country. You could argue Dan Patrick McAfee, Colin stephen
A like did the heavy I'm talking like I would
say that would be when you and I fill in
for DP or fill in for Colin. Yeah, but you know,
if you're gonna be recording to your statistics and according

(27:44):
to me and my family. But if Dan Patrick or
McAfee or stephen A or Colin or one of the
biggest guys in the game, if someone said, let's say
they retire and then you know, uh, one oh two
point whatever, the ticket was like, hey, can you do
a local radio show once a week. You're a legend

(28:04):
and maybe you're bored. You want to keep doing this,
And Colin's like, stars, Stars, Fine, I'll do like a
weekly Colin segment. He could show up there in his
slippers getting a massage while he's doing it. They just
want him there. UNC just wants Bill Belichick there. That
program was non existent. Now it's not only on the

(28:25):
on the map. People are gonna watch UNC games kind
of like he's they're so grateful to have him there
that he could do whatever he wants and we're seeing it.
He honestly, he could request the most ridiculous crap and
they'd be like, mister Belichick. I mean it sounds a
little crazy, but you got.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
It, sir.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Why would they not? Have you ever watched a UNC
football game in your life? And the answers, no, I don't.
You don't even need to think about it. The answers, though,
will you watch one this year? The answer is yes, Well, okay,
Mac Brown was coaching there previous No, he cared, No,
they did.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
I mean he had he had no. He had them
definitely elevated from where they were prior.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Didn't care and that's all. They were winning eight, nine,
ten games a year. But now it's like, oh, you
got an NFL coach like mac Brown won a national championship.
But I'm just saying it wasn't completely desolate there banging
a twenty four year old whoa no, but you know what,
I hope not. That's why this is very odd because
she's the same age as the actually around the same

(29:20):
age as the players he coaches, and we've never seen
any other significant other on the field with the coaching
staff in this way at all. In fact, we often
bring up the fact that Joe Montana used to call
his wife on the sideline and thought that was odd.
Bill Belichick has his hot young girlfriend right there with him.

(29:42):
I know. We have our Mets Yankees. Bet whoever finishes
with a better record. Yeah, at the end of this year,
both ted eleven to seven round, so the Yankees are
underdogs tonight playing the Rays. I'm like, who's pitching for
the Yankees? Maybe you could tell me who Will Warren is?
That's in the See young dude. Are you that young
dude that the Yankees believe even a lot? They think
he's got some good potential? For sure, I'm gonna keep

(30:03):
an eye on Will warn from this, moving this point,
moving forwards, I'm like, Will Warren, I had to look
him up. I'm like, I never heard of Will Warren.
All right, look at the clock, it's fifty. When old
School hits come.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
On, there's a surgeon.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Ye go back.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Back into town throwing it back for a Thursday Old
school when fifty hits, that's fifty after cn R give
you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, we go old school every Thursday. But before, dud,
do you mind taking two quick phone calls? I forgot
we had people holding, or we got time. It's all good,
you know what, let's do it. Who do we got
to wrap up the Bill Belichick conversation, the Aaron Rodgers stuff.
I don't want to keep people holding if they're kind
enough to call right. Matt in Alaska wanted to talk
about Belichick and his girlfriend. What's up, man?

Speaker 6 (30:54):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Boys? What's up, buddy?

Speaker 6 (30:56):
My take on the whole thing is, you know, Bill
never wanted this job in the first He only took
this job so that it's sun could have it three
years after he's there. So having his little side piece
around up in everybody's business trying to make her mark
on the program is a way for somebody to at
North Carolina to say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing,
and it gives Bill the out that he wants. He

(31:16):
doesn't have to he doesn't have to coach, His son
can slide in and everybody moves on happily.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Ever after that's.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
All, well, do you know what?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
It holds some weight And I appreciate that all. But
you never saw him do that before because he took
the gig real serious, right, So there's something to be
said about that. And Patrick and Illinois. Some thoughts on
Aaron Rodgers. You said you wanted to know if Steeler
fans were excited. Yeah, Patrick's a Steelers check. Hey, are
you excited about potentially getting Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 7 (31:44):
I do not want Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is a
band aid and we don't need a band aid at quarterback.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
We need to.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
Hope Shader slides to us. If he's not there, then
we grab Dart, one of.

Speaker 8 (31:59):
The other guys, mill Row or someone. We don't need
a band aid. We need our quarterback of the future.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
And for relax, we're really thinking about it. I imagine that's
how most of the fans feel. Well, we shall see
you Aaron Rodgers steps in these great would love to
see him surprise everybody back to old school. Thank you, buddy,
I'm sorry. I just didn't want to leave those people
holding I appreciate it. Man, It's Easter weekend. I got
to take care of our peeps. Peeps first, That's what

(32:27):
I'm saying. You gotta support Pause, the only egg dye
coloring in the game. Pause has nothing to do with
my peep's reference. No, but I'm saying, if he's a
gross who eats peeps little kids. I love peeps, and
I love our Fox Sports Radio Turbo Peep Marshmallow. Now
we reminisce on Thursdays, we throw it back. Danny g

(32:48):
had a meme that got us thinking, and we want
to include you and get you thinking too. The viral
meme went like this, what's a lost skill that the
current generation lacks understand? And there's so many ways you
could take this. I get tied into sports too. It
is Fox Sports Radio a lost skill that the current

(33:09):
generation lacks understanding of. There's so many examples you could
think of, But when it comes to sports, it's not
necessarily a skill. But I don't think the generation will
ever have a true understanding of how impactful and great
Bo Jackson was because he never won. So it's our
job to pass that info on. They'll never really know

(33:31):
because they didn't see it. That's not a skill, dope,
I'm saying, but it's something Let me read the question again. Yeah,
that the current generation lacks understanding of. They really a
lack understanding, But as total understanding, as far as skills go,
I have a skill that is irrelevant now. I had

(33:52):
the unique ability to remember people's phone numbers after giving
them to me like once or twice. You could ask
me now like my childhood friend's phone numbers, and I
remembered it. What a waste of a skill means nothing?
In fact, I bet you most of you don't even
know your wife's phone number. I mean along those seam
lines baseball card stats. Now we're seeing maybe a little

(34:13):
bit of a comeback of that because baseball cards have
done such a great job of making it exciting again
with their rookie debuts and all these special cards. But
you would know the back of the baseball card. You
know who batted what and when and how many homelikes.
You knew that Wade Bogs beat three sixty eight. You
mean all that stuff, those of baseball cards, the lost

(34:34):
skills that you had that mean nothing in twenty twenty five.
Will take your feedback. Next, going old school, Cavino and Rich,
you know where you often see this on videos that
go viral where you see parents hand over a teenage
kid a weenil. They all hand this weenial a rotary phone. Yeah,

(34:58):
and they're like dial that number. And it's not necessarily
a skill, but it's a skill we had, like you
mentioned Rich, memorizing phone numbers.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
These kids have no idea how to do it. They're
handed a cassette. Yeah, they don't know how to put
it in and play it.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
You know what. Speaking of Danny g that was one
of my thoughts I wrote down. They'll never understand, they'll
never have a complete understanding when it comes to the
art of the mixtape. Yeah, they know what making playlists
are all about, but they'll never know the art of
the of the mixtape.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah you real mixtape?

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Where that came from? The word tape?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Hey, oh exactly. I wrote that mixtape too. Is because
I said, yeah, you can hand someone and be like, hey,
here's a link. I put together a great Spotify playlist.
There is an art and a love and art and
and like you made the time you gave that to somebody.
Oh my goodness, you put so much heart and thought
into that. Well, now just go on Spotify or Apple
or Amazon or any app for that matter, and you're

(35:52):
just dropping in dragon songs.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
It's like, AI, it does all the work for me.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
How about this hold on? They'll never have a complete
understanding like you could tell, but they'll know. They'll not
know everything. And that one song that you couldn't buy
or you couldn't find, You're you're waiting on the radio
for it to play and then you're just hoping that
bozo DJ. Guys that we grew up to be didn't
talk over the introduction. So there was so much involved

(36:16):
in the art of the mixtape that kids lack understanding
of I want to open this conversation up a little
bit because I think we'll get better answers if I
adjust the question a little bit. Sure, because the phones
are all hot, and I feel like I want to
angle it a little bit differently. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. I'm with you. I don't think we
should keep it too just skill. I think it should
be something that we were so into or a part

(36:40):
of our lives that our kids generation will not know.
I don't think it needs to be necessarily a skill.
You know, you know what I'm talking about, just like
I'll give you one the things that were a big
part of our life. For instance, if you wanted to
get to a big time concert or go to a
Dodger's opening day or Yankees opening day, you would have
to wait outside a store in a long line for

(37:01):
Ticketmaster to open it like your local video store. They
don't know that hassle. They're just like dad, mom, could
you go on stub Hub or seat geek or something like.
They don't know the struggle of hoping that there weren't
too many people in line. Yeah, and I have these
conversations all the time. I have a teenage pain in
the ass, I mean teenage daughter who often asks me like, well, Dad,

(37:23):
if you had to meet up with somebody, well, what
would you do. I'm like, oh, I'm glad you ask,
because I think you have a lack of understanding of
how times were and we didn't have no way of communicating.
We'd have text messaging or cell phones or anything like that.
You would just find the biggest or popular landmark like
Yankee Stadium for example, you see the Big Bat at
Yankee Stadium. I don't know you'd meet there or you'd

(37:43):
have a meeting spot, like you really had no the
way at that's how you met up. Or what if
your friend was at the mall though, how would you
find them? I'm like, I don't know. You just you
just would try to find them. That's all circle until
you find them. You said, the big Bat. How many
times if you're an old school Mets fan or you know,
even a city feel after Sha Stadium? How many times
have you met someone at that big Apple? Yeah? At

(38:05):
me at the Apple or at Dodger Stadium, they got
that big bubble head meeting someone that I think the
popularity of certain things too that these kids they'll know,
and you could tell them, but they'll never know. They
lack an understanding. I'll give you this is a stupid one.
You know. We mentioned Bo Jackson before, like you could
tell them all day he was the greatest, But they

(38:27):
lack of understanding because he never really won anything. They
don't know. This is dumb. But it's like the character
pac Man. Like when I was a little kid, Pacman
was huge, huge, turned into a cartoon, a cereal lunchbox.
Like pac Man swept the nation for me as a kid,
and that was my pocket, right And then of course
you know super Mario became a thing and all that.

(38:48):
But because super Mario became a thing, because Sonic became
a thing, and there was so many other iconic characters,
since no one really even talks about pac Man and
how big he was. Honest, can we know it's a
couple of years old than me. Pac Pan before my time,
I never played pac Fast. I was huge. I remember
I was. I was a little boy, and I got
an intention. It was huge when I was little. But

(39:09):
I know the legacy. You know, you bring this up
all the time, Rich, how to keep score? Kids will
never up My whole LISB. No, I wrote that I
had it written down too. I wrote down bowling score
and baseball score, like I remember going to the game
and I thought it was sort of cool to be like,
I'm gonna keep baseball score. And we met. We learned
just last week, right that they don't sell programs at

(39:31):
most baseball stadiums anymoere the idea of get your program.
No one's buying a program. And if you play sports, now,
have you got kids in Little league or pony ball,
there's a mom on the team and she has an
app and there's no even like keeping score. It's it's
on an app.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
You know.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Kids lack understanding of this is great because I deal
with this all the time because my daughter's in high school.
And then it'll dawn on them like wait, well wait dad,
how did you do that? And how did you print
out a paper? I'm like, well, I would either have
my mom type it out at work and then bring
it home because she was willing to help me out.
Or we had something called the word process and then

(40:10):
you have to explain to them what that is and
they're like, wait, so was it a computer? And you're like, well,
not really, I don't know. I was a typewriter. Well
it was like a typewriter. I mean we had a
typewriter too.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Along those lines, all kids know is texting their friends.
Last week, my wife was talking to our teenager because
she was telling her, well, you're probably not paying attention
in that class. She got her progress report. What are
you passing notes with your friends? And she's like, what
do you mean passing notes?

Speaker 1 (40:39):
No, dude, hold on, you know you brought up something
else that's right up in that same category. Because of
the communication that's available in today's world, your kid could
email the teacher, oh yeah, they don't know the assignment.
They get their grades in real time. Like if you
were a kid, and chances are I wasn't the only bozo.
I was like, what's the homework assignment?

Speaker 5 (40:59):
Again?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
You'd have to like try to hope your buddy knew
what it was or how to do it because there
was no communicating with the teacher.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
The teacher posts notes and homework online on the school website,
on the school Act.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
We have any every day. My daughter's teacher and my
son's teacher. They're uploading pictures on class Dojo, and there's
all these little parent apps like do you remember the
empty feeling of not knowing like what the assignment was,
or what page, or what exactly it was, or how
to do it? None of that anymore. Rich they'll never
really understand that little struggle we had as kids growing up.

(41:33):
You know what else, they'll never know the lost art
of waking up early to make sure you got all
your Saturday morning cartoons in because they're so spoiled with
on demand everything. The lost art of blank. That's what
we're going here on a throw back Thursday. Let me
hit you a couple more younger generations just lack an
understanding of it. I saw a funny meme and it
sort of encapsulates this thought. Back in the day, we

(41:58):
would wait until eight or nine pm because your phone
plan had free nights and weekends, and you'd worry about
your rollover minutes and how many minutes do I have?
Now no one wants to talk to anyone. Texting was
like almost to throw in at free texting, like no
one cared. It was how many minutes do you have?
And then I got to ask what happened to all
of our rollover minutes? That is so funny, dude, minutes

(42:22):
another nights and weekends thing, y'all call you back at
nine o'clock, or how about this, you know the calling
card that we had to have when we traveled. Oh yeah,
remember your parents would be if someone called long distance
long distance. It's a lack of It really comes down
to the lack of understanding that younger generations have today.

(42:43):
I got another one that everyone in this room did,
and if you did it, then you're just a nerd.
How many times did you master the art of calling
a girl for your buddy while he was listening in?
Oh yeah, that was the best? Is that thing anymore?
But Danny? If Danny's like, Billy Madison did it, Yeah,

(43:05):
that was the last two people to do it. Bill
madis Billy mat That'd be like if Danny and I
were friends his kids and he's like, you're rich. I
really got a crush on Jessica, So I'd be like, hey, Jessica, yeah,
it's rich, just curious. Meanwhile, Danny's listening on the other line.
What do you think of Danny G I think he's
sort of cute, So you think he's cute? All? Thanks

(43:27):
by yo, bro? Yeah, I mean, how many times did
you do that little act? That's the last start of
being a wingman on the phone. Yeah, that's really what
it is. So we go to the phones based on
the meme throwback Thursday, old school in fifty hits, a
lost skill, or just anything that the current generation lacks
understanding of, no matter how much you tell him. You know,

(43:49):
you brought up your daughter asking how people communicated. I
was recently reminded by a buddy of mine. I went
to school in the late nineties, early two thousands, in college,
graduated early two thousands. I'm the generation that went to
college without a cell phone, and by the end of
college we had cell phones. So I think back to
like my freshman year late nineties. If you went to

(44:10):
the bar and you wanted to communicate that to your buddy,
you remember writing on people's dry erase boards in their
dorm room, like on your dorm room door. You would
have a dry erase board and you'd be like, Yo, John,
we're gonna be at o'flanigan's at nine o'clock and you
just left him a dry race message. And if you
didn't have it, you'd have to leave a note somehow,

(44:32):
like Sean never knew where you were, but did you
know the lost art of Also, you said past notes, Danny.
You got me thinking of how every day I'd fold
up a little note in the shape of little football,
the little trial. Yeah, and I would pass my girlfriend,
my high school girlfriend, a little note in between like
third and fourth period, like hey babe, love you. Kids
back then, had that particular skill, had to fold those

(44:53):
little notes.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
I didn't remember when the teacher would intercept one and
hold it up and make an example out of the world.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
You know, the two people she found corresponding with each other.
Now you bringing up sore subjects, Dandy, g I had.
I had a girl one time. She was like drawing
me pornographic pictures. I sort of got and she was
and she was passing them to me, and a teacher
intercepted one.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Remember a lot of the teachers would have the sanders
in the back. A lot of the teachers had the roof.
If I find it, I'm gonna read it out loud,
and so we'd get like instant entertainment as the teacher
would read the cheesy letter. Then you know, I have a.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Gross story that I'm even skept I'm hesitant to tell.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Now you gotta tell it.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
I have to tell. But before I tell that one,
the the story como tells he's not finishing it. This
girl for trying to keep it clean. On Fox Sports Radio,
let's just say she was. She drew pictures of a
sailor with a huge hat anchor anchor. Yeah, you a
picture of a sailor with a huge anchor and with
a huge plank. And she handed it to Cavino and

(45:52):
the teacher intercepted. And I remember you said your mom
was called, like why some girls sending your son pictures
of a nation? She got a lot of trouble. I
did knew anything. Yeah, I did nothing at all. I
remember being like, oh man, but yeah, people are always
passing notes, you know what. They had to be crafty
about it, had to fold it up real nice. They
still do that in one place today in prison. Yeah,

(46:13):
pass the notes they have like a little fish line.
And Sam knows from experience or from watching Lock Up Sam,
So jail Bird, Let's go to your phones eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, Get You Involved, We Love
Reminiscent on a Thursday. I'll quickly tell the one embarrassing
so it's not me, but I remember, you know the
one teacher. There was always the teacher that was so

(46:34):
sweet but gullible, and you always felt bad, like, oh,
the delinquent guys are being so mean to her. You know,
you know what I'm talking about. There was always like
like an older, nice lady teacher. Yeah, and usually a substitute,
and the scummy dudes in your class would always do
rude things to her. Yeah, you know, old old, I'll

(46:54):
call her old. Miss Melville was like, if I catch
someone with a note, I'm gonna get and read it aloud.
So these guys, oh this is gross. They intentionally knew
they'd get caught. So let's just say someone reached down
their pants and pulled out some some hair, put it

(47:15):
in a note, passed it intentionally. Miss Melville intercepts it. Okay,
she opens the note in front of the class and
a bunch of hair falls on her. So the lost
art of being a dirt bags. Yeah, being a trash bag.
The lost that. How about the last time speaking of
school microfiche, because your kid will ask you, well, if

(47:37):
you had to do a book report, had well, honey,
there was something called microfish and a card catalog. You
had to know how to do these things. I mean
I was looking back that system stunk. Yeah, it was
the worst. I'd use that one time in college and
I was like, this is the and I will only
remember it from like Ace Ventura remember when he had
to he went through all the old Miami Dolphins rosters
like on micro before the birds. That was the only

(47:58):
cold use of microfish and humanity when Asian Tura tried
to check track down Finkle. But Dad, what if you
had to look stuff up? Like well, we had encyclopedias,
I guess. Shout out to Funk and Wagnalls and Britannica
and Charlie Brown Encyclopedia Britannica. Thank you so again. The
lack of understanding things that this current generation or younger

(48:21):
generation is just lack of understanding of the lost art
of blank. Let's start with Trip in Vegas. You're on
with Covenion. Rich was up Trip.

Speaker 7 (48:29):
Hey, gentlemen, every show is better than the last.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Thanks brother. Let's spread that.

Speaker 7 (48:33):
Room off a few and then I wanted to add
one because when Rich changed the parameters a little bit,
so I would say cursive developing film, reading a map,
changing a tire. And then the one thing when you're
talking about it not a skill. But they missed Black Friday.
We used to have to stand in line. No stores

(48:54):
are open now.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Well, I made the this past Thanksgiving. I made the
observation that Cyber Monday almost bigger now, and Black Friday
is gonna be a thing of the past. It's gonna
best known for a good football games because the NFL
is gonna tackle that holiday. Pun intended, but he brought
up one that if it was interesting, Cavino, he said,
developing pictures. Now they don't even have to use the camera.
I'm saying now the idea of like all right, I'm

(49:16):
gonna take a live photo, so there's no chance my
kid could blink, not only that upside down portrait mode,
all the little tricks people have back then, as Sebastian Metascalco,
aren't you embarrassed? Doesn't need to do a bit where
you'd go to Sea World, Shampy Orca shamou would jump out,
your mom would be a click, hope I got it,

(49:36):
Like you would just hope you got the picture. You
would develop pictures and your mom would bring them home.
You be like, yeah, I wonder if they came out good.
Only like thirty percent of them were just blurry or
eyes closed, a red eye, all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah. You and we had throwaway cameras. We even had
the throwaway cameras that went into the water, remember, yeah
waterproof and so people are expensive. Yeah, you know a
junk drawer in your kitchen in your house, maybe people
would ever drawer with tons of throwaway cameras just meaning
to get those developed, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Sack Town one of our favorite Sean what's going on?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Brother?

Speaker 9 (50:09):
Yeah, my flashback food. Man, you always had me cracking
up at these bro.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Thanks.

Speaker 8 (50:14):
First of all, Rich, what a dirty.

Speaker 9 (50:16):
Dog you were in elementary school? Man, that poor teacher.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
That wasn't me. Just to the record, that was not me.
I was in that class. Rich had no hair, so
it couldn't have been Rich. With Tattenabaldi on their wrist,
they used to call them Baldo Renauldo.

Speaker 9 (50:30):
These kids will never know about the art of magic.
Glovinno knows what I'm talking about. Man, telling your homegirl
that you have a little crush on her, home girl,
get on the phone doing three way calls at nighttime,
trying to trying to plant the seed so that you
could one day take her out of the day to
the movies. These kids have no idea what that's all about.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
They're too busy streaming.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
It was the the game. It was like you had
to have game, right, But our game was so different
than game today because you realize a game today revolves
around you have to be you have to have online games.
I was just gonna say, you read social media game.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
That's a great point. Because we had teen centers, we
had the skating rink, we had the bowling alley. We
had to meet up at places with lots of other kids.
There was no there was no phone to phone going
on except rich as you mentioned, you know the long
cord on the phone, and you try to hide in
your room and make it all. Yeah, but most of
the time our parents did not want us busying up
the lines, especially when the internet became a thing. Remember,

(51:28):
get off the phone. I'm trying to I'm trying to
dial up to the internet. These are all great examples.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
You know, I had something happened to me yesterday that
was the most refreshing thing based on this conversation. You know,
we were home in the afternoon yes say, because we
were filling it for DP. All the kids out here
in La spring break. Long story short, I got a
knock on the door. I'm like, was it Telemark or
what is it? Someone's trying to sell me solar? What's
going on? Would you believe this is the cutest thing?

(51:55):
My son. There's a kid down the block that's also
five years old. He came over with his dad and
he's like, yeah, we want to know if Benny wanted
to play basketball in the driveway. I was this thrilled
this could be. I'm like this nineteen eighty something dude.
It felt like it. And it was the coolest feeling
because at first of mine, who's knocking at my door?
The neighborhood kid wanted my son to come play basketball.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Jambeyer just asked what time it was they're playing basketball?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Yeah, eleven pm? Dan, No, but it was. But it was.
It was so refreshing. I was like yo. I told
the dad. I'm like, yo, I love your style. I'm
in yeah, I'll walk over, and then I left my
son there for a Bit'm like, dude, you're across the
street playing basketball. Be a kid. All right? I want
to go rapid fire. Let's do it. Let's get you involved.
It's all you now, let's go uh Pete in Iowa.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
Hey, Hey, how you guys doing.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
What's before?

Speaker 4 (52:42):
I say? My one thing I I we forgot is
a real quick story about my back. In eighty eight,
we went to a Laker game. I was like fifteen
years old. My mom dumped us off, me and my
buddy at the park. Lost said we'll see you in
three hours. That'll happen anymore?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Oh yeah, like your parents dropping you see you later.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
That No, no, they drop this off.

Speaker 9 (53:08):
They will see you three hours.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
So I had one of those old ken A one cameras.
I stuck up the rings course side, took great pictures
of Kareem do a skyhooks, imagine doing no look past
and I actually they open the back door and ruined
all my photos. So that was a hard show. I
still think about that today.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
That's the worst. Thanks for the call, Peter, you had
all these great photos. Really know what I think about too? Rich.
I don't think I was gonna say this, but again,
like my daughter asks me these questions all the time, like, well, Melody,
we used to have to call for one one? What's that?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Well?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
If if I needed the number two, I don't know.
The fut to Blockbuster video because I wanted to know
if they had the if they had a from dust
Still Dawn on VHS, I'd have to call them.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Wasn't that answered by a real person too?

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yeah? Yeah, Can I have the number of Blockbuster Video
operator in Union, New Jersey? Please? And they would look
it up and you'd call information and she's like blown
away by that stuff. And it goes to show you
how easy there's a lot of challenges in today's world,
but how easy it is have everything at your fingertips.
Just just a new set of challenges. Jeff in New
York State Covino and Rich what's up man?

Speaker 8 (54:14):
Yeah, I was calling. I remember playing Fantasy football pre internet.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Oh my god, how many calculations did you have to do?
Break out the calculator? Jeff Chris in Machines, Oh my god. Yeah,
you want to know who won the next day. I
was saying, just recently in New York, Danny g the
late baseball games, it would just say late game. You know,
I wouldn't know, like you would have to That's insane.
You would have to wait. Like all the Dodgers who

(54:40):
won last late game. We would say they're in the
daily news, all right. Uh, Chris and Nevada.

Speaker 9 (54:45):
All right, y'all gotta be going way way back.

Speaker 5 (54:47):
But what about bammer?

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Y'all remember that bammer bammer. I feel like there's a
punchline y'all know about I know I should, I don't
know that as nuts joke. I feel like I was
being set up. I felt like something was coming right, Yeah, exactly,
I guess I felt the setup. So if not, Chris,
I'm sorry you felt like a trickster a Arizona wrapping up,
Chris going up ezy.

Speaker 8 (55:10):
Hey, how's it going, guys? Thanks for taking the phone call.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
No problem.

Speaker 8 (55:13):
So I got two of them. First one is be
kind rewind. They'll never know the pain of having to
rewind your your tape. And then number two is map quest.
I don't know how we got through those fifteen pages
just to get an hour and a half up state,
or how.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
About just using a map period. I don't know how
I did go growing up.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
If you handed a kid nowadays a map, they would
be so confused.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Looking back, I'm amazed I survived that era because I'm like,
how did I get anywhere? What did he say? D
Kinriwand that that was that was the That was one
of those indicators, like you know how they say, like,
are you the type of person that returns your shopping cart?
Otherwise you're in a hole if you return your Blockbuster
video without rewinding it.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
No, you'd get charged a little fine, but it's like
a dollar fifty weeks.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
But I feel like that was a reflection of like, yea,
what type of person? Rich? What are you gonna do
when when your son Benny says, well, Dad, how did
you watch smut? Well that are you explaining them like
scrambled smut? Or are you tell them about like sneaking
in to find your dad. I'm gonna have to say, Ben,
when I was your age, I didn't have all this
free internet porn teenage son. What I did was I
took my dad. I found my dad's smut and made

(56:18):
sure to rewind it to the exact spot he left off.
See lost all right, that they'll never really understand. And I,
you know and know what I had to do, Son,
I had to put sports illustrated covers on club magazines yep, yep,
just to keep away from mom. They'll never know. I
remember you and I sort of debated this, maybe in

(56:41):
the last five years, you had run out of business
cards and you were like, should I order new ones?
I'm like, I don't even know who I'm maybe professionally,
but now with like apps where you could tap phones
and get the info, Like the idea of someone being like,
here's my business card? Is that? Is that old school?

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Like?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Is that sort of like very outdated?

Speaker 2 (57:00):
I have one more in mark? He hit us up
on Twitter. Was thinking along the same lines as me.
I wrote down personal finances because everything is you know,
once these kids get a checking account, Like my son
is eighteen and he finally got his first bank account
and everything. Imagine him having to learn how to write
a check or to balance a check book. Yeah, oh
my god, are you kidding me? He barely can use

(57:22):
his ATM card.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
He just that's such a great one, balancing your check book. Yeah, right,
Kids today we have a complete lack of understanding and
knowledge on how to do something like that all so much.
My daughter didn't know how to use money the other day.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
She needed That's what I'm saying. They're used to the
parents giving them zells, like hey, daddy.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Just give him the cash and they'll give you the change.
So well, how does that work? I'm like, what or like,
you want to get a dollar back? Like and so
you give someone like a five dollars and ten cents
and if it's four bucks and then also get the
dollar back.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
They're confused.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
I have a lack of understanding of a lot And
again your answers at Covino and Rich. We throw it
back every Thursday's right now, We're life from the time
I Rack dot Com Studio and be sure to check
out the YouTube channel. In fact, our bonus podcast over Promise,
which starts about twenty minutes that streams live on the
YouTube channel. You could see what we're doing, and a
bunch of great clips from not only our show, the
whole network Fox Sports Radio, and to sort of wrap

(58:16):
that before we get into the NBA, A lot of
great feedback when we go old school, Danny. I talked
about it the other day when we filled in for DP.
My daughter went with her friend for Hello Kiddie Night
at Dodger Stadium. Yeah, and she came home with a
Dodger's hat, and I was like, sort of angry about this.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
I love those people that took her to the game.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
My mom work, not my wife. My wife was like,
you do call her mama once in a while, No,
my wife does. My wife forgets sometimes and she'll call
me dad and daddy, like in public. I'm like, you
know the kids aren't here, oh, because she's so used
to referring like daddy, Yeah, hey daddy, Yes, so my
wife's big daddy. My wife says this to me, and

(58:56):
I looked at her like, I'm like, we in a
time machine? Was this nineteen ninety eight? She goes, should
I send emmy to the game with like some cash?
Give her like forty bucks or twenty bucks. I'm like, oh,
just send her the game. I'll text to parents if
you want anything, will Zell you or Venmo you or something.
She's like, so give her no cash. I'm like, Bip,
I don't even know if Dodger Stadium takes cash. That's like,

(59:18):
I mean, do you operate in cash at a stadium
even anymore? You tap your card, you tap your phone.
We live in a different world. Yeah, I don't know
how to blame your parents. She used to have to
pin five dollars onto our shirt for a field trip.
Right now, we'll talk a little NBA before Dan Byer's update.
But some good games yesterday. Props to the Heat, Heat

(59:39):
over the Bulls, Mavericks over the Kings. Got to wait again?
What Friday?

Speaker 8 (59:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Continues on Friday? Yeah, the final playing games. But I
think that the eyes are all on Saturday. And did
you see Anthony Edwards. He was He was pretty vocal,
Danny G saying, oh, he talks a lot. It goes
like Liesen, I know that no one wants us to win,
No one wants a t Wolves to win, no one
wants us to advance. He's that and he's cool with it.
And you know, some people like playing the role of

(01:00:05):
spoilers underdog, but that's that's a Saturday matchup. I think Saturday,
the Western Conference, to me, is so compelling. It's the matchups.
You know, when the NFC and the AFC playoff pictures
are coming together in football and you're like, oh, man,
if this team wins the tiebreaker, we get better matchups.
I do think by the Golden State Warriors losing that

(01:00:25):
last game and having to do the play in, I
really do think it gave us cooler matchups. I love
Kawhi and that Clippers team playing the Denver Nuggets in
the first round. I like the t Wolves and Lakers
playing and I sort of like the Warriors having to
go to Houston, which on paper is a better team,
but playoff Jimmy and Steph in the playoffs, Like I

(01:00:46):
think the matchups are so good. Jimmy Butler's attitude. I
mean again, he's playoff Jimmy, so this is when he
steps it up. But I love that he gives Steph
the credit heat is and that's why it works. He's like,
I'll be his robin to his batman all the time.
Like it's cool to see their camaraderie in the respect

(01:01:08):
he has for Steph Curry, because they're gonna be tough
to deal with. They have such a chance with both
of those guys playing well. I think the Western Conference
has not only unraveled and unfolded the way we want
his fans, but the NBA, as far as ratings go, honestly,
the fact that you got the Clippers who played great
this year, the fact that the Clippers are going to Denver,
like I said, t Wolves, Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, and then

(01:01:33):
the one throwaway series we'll probably get to see Oklahoma
City dominate Round one against whoever.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
And how about Ad last night though, and Klay Thompson
found the fountain of youth.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
You know what, Danny, you could argue that if Ad
and Clay and that team gets it together, Oh, if
Kyrie hadn't got hurt. Ad was in the zone. Everything
about him was in the zone. Body language, the way
he played.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Yeah, we talked about attitude first time suiting up for
the MAVs. I mean it was only two and a
half quarters, but he was locked and loaded and the
way he played with Kyrie was pretty amazing. So they
would have definitely been a threat in the West had
Kyrie not gone down with that injury.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
Well, the big story today is, you know, we started
off with Aaron Rodgers. There's two big stories in the news,
and that's Aaron Rodgers and that's Dame Lillard. And he's
been cleared of the deep vein thrombosis in his right calf.
They announced that today, So he's practicing today. He's out
for the game on Saturday, but it looks like he'll

(01:02:30):
be ready moving forward after that, which is kind of cool.
Vein thrombosa sounds like something you get when you see
a good looking girl pass vain thrum posts. Deep vein thrumbosas. Man,
take your eyes over her. I'm getting some vain throw bosas.
So that's talking about perfect timing though, and when it
counts and when it matters. That's big, big news in

(01:02:52):
the NBA. Well, for more updates, let's go to our buddy,
Dan Bayer. Dan. The Dame news is pretty big for
the Eastern Conference.

Speaker 10 (01:02:59):
Yeah, yeah, interesting because do you think that the Bucks
not that they're better without Damian Lillard.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
I think that there's.

Speaker 10 (01:03:08):
Yes, yes, and for the long run it would be
better to have him, but they got to get past
the Spacers series first.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
We'll see how it works out. Is giving no said.

Speaker 10 (01:03:17):
It's Game one on Saturday, and it's the first game
of the playoffs to being off one o'clock Eastern time.
Couple of other notes from the NBA. Grizies guard John
Morant game time decision for tomorrow, and the Kings are
hiring former n NEXT GM Scott Perry as their new
general manager.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Right now. There's a story out of the football world.
Mike Leach sort of a wild head coach back of
the day in college football personality type of guy Washington State,
Mississippi State. He was a bit of a wild guy,
actually eccentric, third most winning is it winningest? Third most
winningest coach in Mississippi State.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
Most people know him for Washington State.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
In Texas Tech Yeah, and does a story Danny g
that this is this is a legend. Barstool published it
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
The legend of this first was told in twenty twenty three,
but NFL read it and Barstool picked us up again yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Mike Leach allegedly once had to be talked out of
putting a little person in the backfield and throwing them
over the line of scrimmage during short yarded situations. Why
would someone not go back to this brilliant idea? You
get a little guy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
And this sounds like the most Mike Leech thing ever.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
By the way, can you just honestly visualize and imagine
that for a minute, like how wild? That would actually
be so ridiculous to think about it. Forget the touch, push,
dwarf and goal, but I mean fourth and goal. Speaking of,
There was a three foot seven professional baseball player, Chicago
native Eddie Is. Eddie GADeL, who had three seven and

(01:04:54):
sixty five pounds is the smallest man to ever play meet.
He tries to do it just a publicity stunt, and
I think it was to try to walk. But it
is a real story. I think it was. Was it
the Browns or something. I mean it was nineteen fifty one. Yeah,
I wasn't around to witnesses. No, but it's a true story,
and you've heard the legend.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
I'm sure we've all seen that picture of the little
guy at the plate.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
But I mean, you could say political correctest. I mean,
little people are there. We don't call them certain words
anymore because we've evolved and we're kind, but you could
still say dwarf because that's you know, seven dwarfs. DWARFSM
is the thing. But little people, if there was a
little guy listen, Tinkledge, one of the greatest actors out
there right now, you're telling me if there was a

(01:05:38):
little guy that would be down for this, some ripped
little guy that just happened to be born with DWARFSM
and he said, I'm in. And they said, all right
on fourth and short situations, we're gonna have like DK Metcalf,
pick you up and toss you to yards. How do
you think, I mean, we're not even trying to make
fun of this. I'm really trying to visualize it. Do

(01:05:58):
you do it like from between the legs, like or
do you how do you do it over the head?
Like an underhand basketball, like a soccer like a soccer ball,
like inbound? An inbound No, I would say, like an
underhand basketball shot.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Like when you lift, like when you lift rich up
in the studio to change the light bulb.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Oh, just like that. Oh, but then what if there's
like a LeVar Arrington who just comes jumps in them
into the air and like smacks them out of the air.
By the way, we're not laughing at the little person
in this story. We're laughing at the idea from Mike. Yeah,
from Mike. Let's be very clear on that too. That's
what's wild about it, Like the fact that this is
actually thrown around or maybe even joked about. Yeah, put around,

(01:06:41):
but don't act. Don't act like little people you know
either get aggravated by this or they lean into it.
Remember the Man Show and there's bachelor parties at Hire
little People. We just to have a friend, no joke.
A guy named Chuck Love rest in peace. Great He
would have a company, hire little People dot Com for
bachelor parties and events. So I don't think this is
as crazy as you think. I mean, imagine that I'd

(01:07:03):
take a little guy just wow, two yards to down,
you know, push push, Forget that I'm about the fourth
and dwarf man. If al Tuove is in the big leagues,
anything responsible show All right, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
Allread with there you see you in the over promised land.
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
I don't know for alfie'll let you pet him.
