We're going to get back to our old school conversation on National Senior Citizens Day. But Jerry Jones saying that him and Micah Parsons had like an agreement and the agent said, stick it up your ass. That's. That's a wild story. Huh? But it is a wild one. And you heard it. I. Oh, I can't say. That was also. Well, Jerry Jones. Didn't Jerry Jones say it? Yeah, he can. You can. It is an interesting one because who knew that? And who knew that Michael Irvin had a YouTube show? That was also a surprise to me. I didn't know. Everybody has a show. Everybody's a broadcaster. So sick of everybody. So confused. Yeah, I got to do my FCC training. You got to stop paying your son to do your FCC training. That's true. You gotta do it yourself. Press next. All right. Old school when 50 hits. We do it every Thursday and it is senior citizens day. And it got us thinking about the wild and crazy world of our grandparents generation. They fought in a war. They looked old as hell way young. Grandparents were different back in the day. My grandmother, I feel like she wore a moo moo her whole life. Did your grandmother wear anything like that your mom wears now? My grandma had the same clothes for as long as I could remember. So whatever she had when I was a little kid is the same clothes she was wearing when she passed away when I was an adult. Right. That's just how grandparents were. And they wore the hammy. My grandma, Mexican lady wore like whatever pair of sneakers that her grandkids gave. She wore my brother's sneakers. You know what I mean? Like it doesn't matter if they fit their clothes muumus. Like you said, my other Grandma looked like Mrs. Claus. She gave me graham crackers. She baked your birthday cake. It was a different breed of grandma and grandpa back then. Your grandpa told stories. Grandparents now don't even want to hang with their grandkids. When you think grandparents, do you think I. I think expressions. I remember shaving a haircut two bits. They would say stuff like that and n how was a phrase. And my grandparents would make coffee in a percolator. They would say things like, you don't know s from shinola. So grandparents, stories, the memories, the commonalities we all have, we all share. Like I'll give you one. I'm pretty certain that everybody remembers your grandma giving you like grandma candy. We mentioned those danks cookies. You know those cookies that came in the tin. Yes. Like the sugary pretzel one and the sugary rectangle one and all the other ones. Rich is right. You don't know if you were getting cookies or sewing. Sewing equipment. You don't know what was in that tiny. And how about those strawberry candies? The strawberry candies. The old people candies. I don't know if Graham grandma only had. I don't know if grandma got like shipment of them. I don't know where they got them from. The only place that they still have a lot of old people candy. Dollar Tree. I was recently. I was recently. Is that where grandma's got like generic strawberry wrapped candy? I was recently. Is it Dollar Tree or Dollar Store? They're all the same Dollar General. Yeah. They have in their candy aisle all the things that you would think old people like individually wrapped Tootsie Rolls. And you know the strawberry candies that are. That look like they are strawberry. Can you tell me the brand of that though? Nobody knows who makes those. No one knows. How about that old hard candy? It's like they magically appeared on earth. They'd have like old fashioned hard candy. Ribbon candy, as they call it. Yeah, the ribbon candy. Ribbon candy. Hey, I got some old root beer barrels for you. You want a peppermint stick? Hey grandpa, you got any candy? I got root beer barrels. That ribbon candy is horrible. Grandma may have had like a Werther's or some sort of buttersc. Some sort of Brock's Butterscotch at the bottom of her purse. And she'd give you. But again, I. My one grandma. That's a good one by the way. Root beer barrels. Root beer. Yeah. Pee Wee Herman loved them and Your grandpa loved them. Old people loved root beer taffy. Yeah, Your grandpa loved, like, bowls of peanuts, too, right? Hey, we're gonna crack some nuts today. You know what else? Your grandparents loved each and every one of you. Every grandparent had one of these in the basement or somewhere. It was like a workout machine, but we didn't know what it was like. It was just a band that went around your waist, and I think I'm like, what is that? It was something. It never worked. Yeah, I don't know if they had it on an infomercial, but you remember it looked like just a belt that went around you. Who knows what it was? I was just on the carousel of progress at Disney World. That's when they take you through all the decades and they actually showed that when people had that thing. Know what grandparents love to do, too. Maybe it worked because people weren't as fat then as they are now. You know what it is? Obesity is a problem because we don't have those shakers anymore. Old people loved hanging laundry. What option did they have, though? Yeah, but so did my mom when I was a kid. So if you hit my dad's tighty whities, it was an automatic double. It was always interrupting my wiffle ball games. But I'm saying, like, there were dryers. We take dad's underwear now, Sam. There were dryers in the 80s. I'm just saying. I remember my grandparents would hang all their laundry in the yard. Like, it sounds funny now, because clothespins were put to use. Like, can you imagine now? Like, Danny, imagine you and Brenda were doing, like, the family's laundry, and you just hung it on a line in your yard. That feels weird. My mom still does that. We have a farm. Yeah. So she hangs it out. It's, like, windy and hot. It'll get it dry pretty quick. So my grandma used to do a few weird things. Again, she my one grandma again. I have. I feel like I have a white grandma and, like, a Mexican grandma. So that's who I am, right? So my Mexican grandma, I guess she would, like, take as much as she could, like, from the diner that she was at or whatever. Like, sugar packets and jelly packets. Saltines. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she'd always, like, oyster crunch. Like, she'd be, like, giving me treats like, chulo, here you go. Like. Cause I was a good kid. And she'd give me little jelly packets all the time. Like, thank you, tita. Little jelly. Little jelly packets out of her purse all the time. You don't really love those Little diner marmalades. And yeah, seriously, I would eat those like they were candy. When I was younger, it was always the reject flavors, like orange. Yeah, the orange. And what else would she always do, you know, growing up? Old school. It's more of an old school because they're from the old country. They're just old people from a different generation. I remember opening up her fridge. I told this story recently and I remember saying, tita, gross. What's that? And it was a tomato with like fungus all over it. Like an old rotten tomato. It was probably there for three months. I'm like, why don't you throw this away? No, no, Julo, it's okay. It's okay. And she rubbed it out with her thumb and took like a giant bite out of it. So it's just like different generations of people, they wasted nothing. And that's just how it was. Yeah. Nah, for real. And you know what? There's something more. I don't know. There's something really special about your grandparents and old people looking back. Seriously, they were there. They wanted to spend time with you. They were great role models. And that's what we're getting at Senior citizens day. Did they love jars the way my grandparents. Everything was in a jar. Quarters, pickling. Things change. Yeah. Jars every day. Yeah. My grandma in the kitchen had one jar of saltines and one jar of pieces of sourdough bread. Jars of things. If you were hungry, shut up and go get a slice of sourdough and put some butter on it. They'd give you sweet grandparents snacks just like that. Like I said, maybe some graham crackers with jelly on it or tortilla con mantequilla. A little salt. Whatever it was. Your grandparents did different things for you. So your best grandma, grandpa stories and memories. And if they're sports related, that's cool too. Mouser hits us up in Cincinnati, everyone's grandparents had recipes written on index cards. That's a good. He always had the recipes for sure. Recipes written down. And let's see, Grandma's always baking stuff too. You know what grandmas love to do? Go to the salon and put their head under that. That astronaut looking thing. Oh, under that helmet? Yeah, like the beam. Like hot air. I. They look perm. I feel like Rich used to get his haircut like that when I first met him. Like, dude, get a fade. What is it with your Mel Gibson coif? Rich used to sit under that moon helmet. I feel like grandparents love perms for some reason. They love bingo. So did Gary Carter. I Think Gary Carter and grandparents curling irons and then also wearing curlers to bed. My grandma's names were Helen and Nancy. How more grandma is that? Okay, My. My grandma Helen was Harriet and Celia. Those are very grandma names. Yeah, very grandma names. Let's go to Dave in Idaho, share some grandparents stories, then we'll get to some more. Well, there's again, few reasons. It's National Senior Citizens Day and studies prove that all of our core values. Our core values were passed on from our grandparents. So they had bigger impact than you even realize on your life and who you are. And they just were different than today's grandparents. That's just a fact. And it's also Sister Jean's 106th birthday. The mascot of the Loyola Ramblers. So happy birthday to her. And we get to your phone calls now. 87799 on Fox. You know what grandparents love to do? Hide cash. Oh, yeah. Because they came from a generation that didn't believe banks were. Banks are failing again. Hide the money. Do you guys remember this? I just started watching the Sopranos again. Just cause it's been 20 years, right? Do you remember when Paulie Walnuts throws his mom in the old age home, but he really didn't want to, but he threw her in the old age home. And one of the ladies, it gets out that she keeps money under the mattress and Paulie Walnuts breaks into the old lady's house. Remember that? Hey, how about the. We talked about this a few months ago, the guy who found 40 grand sewn into a couch. Oh, yeah. Old people loved hiding money. Absolutely. Great one. That's why a lot of our grandparents hoard things or hoarded things too because their parents went through the Great Depression. So everything they got their hands on, that was some value to them, they kept it forever. You find some old band aid tin, some old Sucrettes tin in a medicine cabinet full of nails or something? No, it's five grand. All right. That's our emergency fund. You know what? Old people love to have their old PC just in case of an emergency. It's a rainy day fund. Give you a couple more, I think. I think these are all universal. I think old people love rocking chairs. Oh, yeah. Oh, they love to rock in a chair. They rocked out. They rocked out. Furniture was handmade back then. People made rocking chairs all the time. Oh, you know what old people loved? Ethan Allen. Old people love china closets. They love to display their plates. Now our generation. Do you think you know one grown man or woman that's like 30, 40, 50 years old that displays plates. That's the fine china we break out for the holidays. Fine china is definitely a generational thing. People of our generation don't give a diddly squat about it. We're eat off paper plates. Oh, you know what else old people love? God bless my grandma, my nana, my dad's mom. Hummels. Old lady Hummels. Like those collectibles, you know, little statues that they had figurines. I'm glad you bring up the way they decorated. Oh, yeah, they covered all the furniture. Doilies. Doilies. Was my doilies. Was my grandma the only one who hung up spade shaped fans on the wall? Fans were hung. Yeah. And they loved the bamboo screen doors with like a covered wagon on the, on the front. Oh, every screen door had that same design. It was a white screen door with like a wagon. Some sort of jack, some sort of jack lantern. Like a ja. I'll give you know what they love? What do you call those? Rug spot. Remember we looked at it recently. Oh, rag raisins. Rag rugs. Rag mats or something. Where like when you would go in their house to wipe your feet, it would just be a bunch of strings connected. Like look up. Or is it rag mat? Look up a rag rug or rag mat and you'll be like, yeah, my grandma had that right in front of the sink. You know, grandparents loved. I used that for nap time and kindergartens. Oh, shoehorns. Shoes were a pain in the butt to get. Needed a horn. Harriet, where's my shoehorn? Not bending over. You put it somewhere. Every grandparent and you know what? TVs back then, they were a piece of furniture. Think of like how your parents, your grandparents. TV set. That's what it was. It was a TV set. It was a wood piece of furniture that like sat as the centerpiece. And you know what they sat in watching that TV set. We mentioned it the other day. Grandpa's Lazy Boy. Grandpa loved his recliner. Grandpa fell asleep in his recliner all night. That's how it was. And it smelled like him. Am I right? And he smelled what? He smelled like Stetson Brute, Old Spice. That's what Grandpa smelled like. So we're celebrating old people today. We get to your phone calls. Danny G. You. You said something before, I think. Did you say aftershave? Someone said aftershave. Aqua vellum. Was it you? I was. Sam, do you know any young person that uses aftershave? I do. Like. Well, I use like, like cremo. Like a cream. Like Ah. Really? Yeah. If I'm shaving my neck, I don't want wolf neck. But I'm just saying, like, I don't. I don't know. I want frog eggs developing underneath there. I gotta soothe it out. Oh, man, I can't stand that old spice smell. That's grandpa in my mind. I'm like, I didn't know aftershave was still a thing my dad had. I think he probably got used it because his dad used it. But it was called royal lime L Y M E. And that stuff just smelled like an old man. It's all Royal Lime, two Ls. You should bring it back, Sam. You can buy it. I get. I don't know where you buy it. You buy anything on the Internet. I'm buying for your birthday. What'd your birthday, Sam? All right, let's go to Idaho and Dave. What's up, Dave? Hey, brothers. Thanks for taking my phone call. No problem, man. You were talking old man names. My grandfather's name was Dwayne. Dwayne Wade and Dwayne. There's Dwayne the Rock Johnson. That Dwayne is an old guy named though. But there's some young Duanes. So back in the early 80s, my dad's whole side of family die hard Browns fans. And we came home from overseas because my dad was in the military. Got us packers Browns tickets. 50 yard line in like 1982 or 83. Hoping I'd come out of that game of Browns fan. But I walked out at Cheesehead. So my best memory of my grandfather is going to that football game and coming out a Packers fan. There you go. You made a better choice Packers. Way better choice than the Browns. Thank you. Sorry, man. Thank you. Kyle in Montana. What's up, man? Hey, guys. What's up? I got. I got a good story for you. So my great grandparents were from Iowa. Like old time Iowa. Yeah, like, like, like died in their 90s after smoking cigarettes since they're 12. Like old. Like don't believe in seatbelts old. Like my grandparents, they would be like seatbelts. They. They restrict you and. And I'm glad you brought the. Because they both died in their recliners watching like their daytime television shows. Like, I'm not surprised. My. I don't think my grandpa price is right. I don't know. You got good on your prices, Kyle. I'm not quite sure if everyone else's grandparents the Lawrence Welk show, but I grandparents love that show. I don't know if my. I'm being serious. I don't know if my grandparents slept in their bed the last like 10 years of their life. I think they slept every night in side by side recliners. Did your grandfather sleep in a bed every night? I feel like you just fell asleep. Yeah, same. I fell asleep on the recliner. I have the same memory. They couldn't get up the stairs so they just slept in the recliner. Yeah, I just stay here. My grandma Helen and my grandpa Bernard had matching recliners. They didn't even have a couch. What old names do you remember them bringing up? Like grandpa Mike Tyson's the greatest of all time. Well, it's cause you haven't seen Jack Dempsey fight, I'll tell you. And that Rocky Marciano. Names like that, you probably heard them bring up some old ass names. So again, taking your phone calls at 87799 on Fox McKinney in Ohio. What's up McKinney? Greetings from Yellow Springs, Ohio, gentlemen. What's up, man? I love this topic. See, I ended up becoming a chef because of my grandmother. My grandmother was the head cook for Birmingham skid city schools in Alabama. Nice. And I got all of their cookbooks. She bought me an easy bake oven for Christmas one time. How many cookies? And what's that? You must have made a lot of slow burning cookies. Well, I ended up understand the principle of cooking. That's awesome. You know, I. What happened to him? I don't know. Did we reset the phone? I think we reset the phones. Wow. The phones are blowing up. People love talking about grandpappies. Yeah, the phones are melting. Hey man, if you want to call back, make it snappy. I'm sorry about that. 87799 on Fox. I do appreciate the phone calls. I'm glad you like this discussion. It's our way of just paying homage and honoring the old people that had huge impact on our lives. Like I said before, your core values, you think they come from your parents. But where do you think your parents got those core values from? They say most of it came from your grandparents. So we pay our respects on National Senior Citizens day and later today, rich, in about 40 minutes on over promised our bonus podcast, we're going to talk about the old people, the old old seniors in sports or at least the people we thought were super old when we were little. Like the Don Suttons of the world. Yeah, like that. We're gonna, we're gonna talk about that on over promised Fox Sports. Actually on our YouTube page. YouTube.com covinoinrich FSR let's say hi to Andy in Mississippi. What's up, Andy? Real quick. My grandmother. Yep. When she'd come visit, we'd play Hide the Thimble, which is basically hot, cold. It was an actual thimble. We'd hide in the room somewhere. That's fun. Rich plays that with his wife, though, every weekend. Thank you very much. Thank you. No, thank you, man. That's a really nice memory. I was actually just waiting to see where is Covino gonna go with this? The minute he said hide the thimble, Kavino had a grin like locked eyes. The second he said that, when he said it, Kavino looked like, you know, the Grinch smiles and how the Grinch stole Christmas. I didn't want. I don't want to disrespect the family game. And that wasn't the point. So thanks for sharing. But you know what else I thought of too? I thought of, does everybody have this memory of grandpa and his obsession with his Cadillac or Lincoln Town Car, whatever you want it. And they would play elevator music like they played some old guy elevator music. It was just a different sort of thing they were into as far as listening. When you guys were home from School 6, did you have memories of any of your grandparents being around? That's who watched me. Yeah, I remember my Price is Right and all that. Yeah, I was just gonna say, I know somebody brought up Price is Right when I was answering the studio lines. My grandmother, she loved Bob Barker. She wanted him so bad. She talked about Bob Barker? No, she did. She would watch the Price is Right. I swear she drooled the whole time because every time he came out, she was like, oh. One of her dreams was to. She wanted to get on that show so bad so that she could give him a kiss. Wow. And dig his pockets. Yeah. It was a fun ass show. The guy giving out the best kisses. Family Feud. Richard Dawson. That was creepy. He was oddly kissing everyone. Hey, you know what? The phones are all hot. We'll take your feedback at Covino and Rich now. Coming up, we are going to talk a lot of NFL because, you know, we are two weeks away from life changing. Exactly. Life changing meaning. You know, every week we very much focus on our NFL team.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this until this, pull that, turn this. It's just I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise.

It's Black Business Month and black tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'M always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it.

Should you? That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand. Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of your life.

I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Tritate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority. We wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like. Like in real time.

We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the unwanted sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Old school in 50 hits get you involved. And we're just sharing some old people memories today because it's National Senior Citizens Day. You know what old guys did every day? Shave their face every day. We live in a society now where I can't tell you the last time I shaved with a razor blade on my face. Everyone's got some type of stubble or beard or something going on. Isaac, Lon's cut from the old school. You know anyone? Isaac? One of the few people that I know that shaves their face every day. Fully shaven. He's a gentleman. Oh, the face. Okay, so, well, today I'm gonna be out and about, so I made sure of that. But I've actually been slipping and sliding with that recently. Isaac, you had a beard a couple months ago, and I thought that did not go well. I thought it looked amazing. I thought it was just in the middle of a bender. I was like, look at this. Seven a week bender. You know what else old people love? And I'm basing this on an old Twilight Zone episode. Kick the can. We're gonna play Kick the can. They loved walking uphill both ways as well. Yes. Yes. All right, so we honor senior citizens on their day, and I'm sure they share their stories of sports and their sport heroes. And, hey, share your stories now. We'll wrap it up. We'll do a quick rapid fire 87799 on Fox. And then there's an update about MLB. Yep. And we'll talk some NFL to wrap it up. Ronnie in New Orleans, you're on with cnr. What's up, Ronnie? What's going on, man? Yo, Ronnie. What's up, man? Getting off of work, heading home. Nice. So. So what did grandparents love? My grandpa loved the Yankees and the Boston Celtics. And he passed it on to you? And I passed it on to my son. Well, he passed it on to my mom's husband, my dad, and he passed it on to me and to my son. So it goes generational, I was gonna say. Way less teams and things to choose from back then. We grew up in an area where there was a lot of people that loved the Brooklyn Dodgers. A lot of grandparents loved the Brooklyn Dodgers. And they were caught in a pickle of what to do now. Let's say hi to Rodney in Sacramento. What's up, Rodney? Hey, what's going on, fellas? Hey, buddy. Hey. So my. I just want to point out that our grandfathers men were a different breed of gentlemen. I remember, you know, being Filipino and Hispanic. He always smelled like Tres Flores Pome, slicking his hair back. And he would always carry a bra or a comb in his pocket and a handkerchief. Handkerchiefs. That's a good one. Can I tell you what, Rodney? Thank you for that. I know what I'm looking for with these phone calls. I'm looking for something like that to make me go, ah, And Rodney Galvan pomade, too. Think of how gross that is, too, though. Think about it. Grandpa would be like. And then put it right back in his pocket. So this is really a question of grandparents loved blank, didn't they? And handkerchiefs. Handkerchief. It's like, you're right. They would blow their nose in it. And he mentioned the. He mentioned the different breed on my dad's side. My dad's daddy a butcher. Right. But when you see that he's a butcher, his fingers are mangled, like. Mangled. Right. Like there's a different type of man. That type of man back then didn't care about his skin. No. They would wash his face with, like, Lava soap. Yeah. Do you guys remember the Mr. Good Wrench commercial when we were growing up about the pair of hands washing the hands and all the dirt and grime would come off? And that was the whole commercial. Yes. Same principle. It's just how it was. Clay in Missouri. What's up, Clay? Clay, what up? Hey, guys. How you doing? Old guy calling in on the topic. All right. What's up, man? Hey. So I would have my grandfather, World War II vet, boxed in the army, came out of World War II. He's a Pullman conductor out of St. Louis, Missouri, which was on the trains. The guy, the entertainment trains. And he had the train from St. Louis to Vegas. So a lot of drinking going on and such. And so he had to take care of all that. Well, previous 49. I went up to St. Louis to visit him and we were watching Roadhouse and that line where Dr. Stacy says, you're nice till you. It's not time to be nice anymore. Grandpa just pointed at it and looked and grinned because he had taught me that exact same line my whole life. That's awesome, man. That's really cool. Grandpa loved Roadhouse. You know what Grandpa's loved? Let's make this simple. You know what grandparents loved? Having the same job for 50 years. People job hop. Now, how many grandparents do you know? They were like, I worked for the electric. The electric company for 48 years old. People love keeping the same job their whole life. You know, I was thinking when he was telling that story, World War II veteran, all that. You always hear a similar story. Followed up, he boxed in the army and he would come home from work and never complain. So that was another different personality trait of that generation. He rarely complained about the stuff they'd seen. They'd seen some stuff. I always think about that. My grandfather was in Germany. I lived World War II, everything. And I think that generation was told to just. Just tuck those thoughts away because they never talked about it. And Rich, we gotta shout out the US Military, of course, the breed they were, they would win medals of honor and hide those they like. My grandma would ask my grandpa to take out his medals and he said no, he never wanted to show off anything. And now think of this generation and how everybody wants the spotlight on them all the time. Man, you said it, dude. For real. But yeah, a different breed of guy. Thank you, guys. We got what, two or three more? I'll take two more. All right, I'll talk a couple more quick as we'll go to Rob in Texas. Hey, Rob. Yeah. So I get punished in college, bad grades. And I got sent for spring break to go clear land with my grandfather, who I grew up with. At what you say, he was respected, but he was feared. And my grandmother the first down there bust me for having cigarettes and Zippo lighter takes him away from me. Very next day, go out and crew the land. And my. My grandfather, we get in the truck after work and he's like, all right, here we go. We go through a drive through liquor store outside of work, gets a bottle of Jim Beam, the six pack of Coke and a pack of cigarettes, and he goes, we're not going home until we finish this. Grandparents cut from a different cloth. Grandparents used to cut from handkerchief. Grandparents used to also quilts. Oh, Grandma loved to knit and make Blankets. Grandparents, you know, grandparents also loved scarves. They were big on using alcohol with like for children's like sore teeth or something. Like grandparents were love to be like let's put a little whiskey on done it or yeah, my grandma loved Vic's Vapor Rub for everything. Yeah, let's be done with this. Let's say hi to Kyle in Missouri to wrap it. What's up Kyle? Hey, what's going on guys? Hey, grandparents. What did grandparents love, Kyle? My grandpa was, he, he was retired before I was born, but he loved waking up in the morning and putting on his coveralls. He also had a goodie drawer that was filled with those orange circus peanuts and baby Cokes, you know, orange circus peanuts is a good one. You just another one. Old people, they love to wake up early. I want when we're old, are we gonna wanna wake up at five in the morning just for the hell of it? I think they go to bed at 8:00, so they're up at 5:30. I told you. I worked at a cards and gift store once that opened at like 5:30, 6 in the morning and I hated it. But when I got there there were old people waiting for the store to be closed. They want their scratch off. I need my scratchers and my lucky strike. They wanna go to the diner at 6am for their black coffee and their toast and their meatloaf. And you know what? We're better for knowing them. So we'll finish with Craig and then we'll talk some MLB real quick. Right quick. Cavino and Rich. What up Craig? Craig. Hey. I love you guys. In the afternoon. So anyways, I used to go walking with my granddad and he would always tell me weird stories. But he would say when he was a little kid him and his brother would walk on the sidewalk and pull tar out of the crack and chew it for bubble gum. Wow, that's for some manly stuff. You ever notice that your grandparents wimpy kids today with your hubba bubbas? Your grandparents ever tell you a story where you couldn't believe it because of how cavalier they seem to be back in the day? It's called the movie. It's a movie called Big Fish. My grandparents, they would tell stories and this is a true one. I mean the proof was in his hands. My grandfather got his finger cut off by his brother. They were chopping wood and I remember being like grandpa, like from the knuckle down, like he was had a half a finger. And I. And I remember saying, well what did you do and he goes, I just picked it up and threw it out. I'm like, you just picked up your finger and threw it out. That's how old people were. That's how old. And he goes, and my brother ran away for a week because he thought he'd get in trouble. I'm like, and for a week, no one looked for him. Yeah. He eventually came back, like, what? Wow. They operated differently. God bless them. The greatest generation. Yeah. Happy old people. And the old people around today, I mean, it is Seniors Day, Senior citizen day. And again, happy birthday, Sister Jean. 106 years old now. We were just hanging here, getting all the phone calls. Danny G. Was hard at work. 87799 on Fox. And Rich started doing what Rich does best. He started looking at these potential. What would you call it? Rich rearrangements. There's a baseball division. There's a lot of chatter, realignment. There's a lot of chatter about divisional realignment, if and when there's expansion in baseball. Rob Manfred opened a can of worms, intentionally or not, during the Little League Classic when he said, oh, we're looking at expansion and perhaps realignment. And by saying that, I said, the baseball and sports world has now since speculated, what would these divisions look like? City, who's getting the teams? There's been some projections. I said, the guy from the Athletics, I thought, had the best possible projections, but based on 32 teams. I just read something else, that if every team's going to play each other the way the schedule has been working with that number 32, they're saying they wouldn't be shocked if with all the revenue and everything coming into baseball, two new teams, they may cut the schedule to 1:54 or 1:56. And I said, look, I want all the baseball I could get because I'm a fan, I don't care. Drag it out as long as you want. But in reality, the problem with baseball is that the season's too long. And for the casual fan, I think if you shorten it up a few games, that's another win for baseball. Yeah, but there is a part of me, though, that thinks all six games does. I mean, it would take it eight games, would take it back to what the OG baseball season was, 154. Right before they went to 162. Correct? Yeah. The Babe Ruth days. That might be the only argument like, well, we used to have 154 with the babe. But I think taking away games, baseball is such a statistically driven sport. Everything in baseball in my mind has Something to do with stats and streaks. And out of 162, I think just by eliminating any games, you're messing with baseball stats, which for some reason of all the sports just seems to have some relevance. Right? Yeah, but I think we're sort of getting away from that. Past that. Yeah, yeah. Because I mean, we've made so many changes in the game and it's all benefited for the greater good. So if it did go down to 154, I think you'd see again, just another positive change for the game. People like quicker, people like shorter. It's just how it is. Our attention spans don't have the bandwidth. Like for example, tonight, would you rather watch a 40 minute show or a documentary on Netflix or a two hour movie? I started watching the Biggest Loser documentary simply because they're like three 40 minute episodes. You think a movie. I got time for that. So 162 games, it just feels like forever. Everyone would sign up for a shorter season. Even the players would. Well, of course they would. Right. All right, let's go to Isaac Loewenkron for an update. What's going on? I low well, on National Senior Citizens Day, during an appearance on Michael Irvin's YouTube show, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, 82 years young, said that earlier this year he agreed to terms of a contract extension with star linebacker Micah Parsons. But then when we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent sold us to stick it up. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now see I was. So you're clear. Yeah. Mike and I talked and then we were going to send it over to the agent and we had our agreements on term amount guarantees, everything. We were going to send it over to the agent and the agent's trying to get his nose in it and try to come in there and improve off the mark that we'd already set. It's the mom and daddy deal. Jones also said he's prepared to franchise tag Parsons in 2026 and 2027, and added that he offered Parsons the most guaranteed money of any defensive player in NFL history, as well as the most guaranteed money of any active non quarterback. Could it be that the agent really is sticking their nose? And you hear this a lot, Isaac, with, you know, when you have friends or family go through divorce, like them and their wife seem to be on the same page, and then. And then out of nowhere, the divorce attorney's like, no, no fight for more. That's a big narrative. Indeed. And at the same time, typically it's just not something that's supposed to be done for an actual negotiation to be done without an agent present. So at the same time, it was also an uncomfortable situation that Micah Parsons was put in or contributed to putting himself into. There's a bit of he said, he said, well, unfortunately, I stalled long enough, I have to tell you that. The Wash Nationals are leading the New York Mets 63 now in the bottom of the eighth inning, a game that the Mets originally led three to nothing. You guys have no heart, man. I know. Francisco Lindor let off the game with his 25th home run of the season. Starling Marte added his seventh home run, but again, they're down 63 in the bottom of the eighth. Padres lead the Giants 84 after seven in San Diego earlier, Clayton Kershaw improved his record to 8 and 2 in the Los Angeles Dodgers 95 victory at Colorado. Guys, thank you. Isaac Lonecron. We got more Kavino and Rich next here on Fox Sports Radio. Hang tight. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of scope of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this until this, pull that, turn this. It's just I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise, lack the expertise. They need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out, out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See, listen to no such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know, right, genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and black tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be did.

You know, we celebrated National Senior Citizens Day and our natural default is to talk about our grandparents because those were the old people in our minds. Right. They defined what old people were to us. But really the senior citizens are our parents. And like the Wade Boggs' and Don Mattingly's and the George Brett's of the world, that's the generation, that's the senior citizens today. Yeah. So it's kind of funny when you think about it. So, hey, call your dad and wish him a happy National Senior Citizens Day. And we're gonna talk more old people in about nine minutes on over promised. What is over promised? It's a really fun 22 minutes. I got a slogan, by the way. Give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world. Stop. Yeah, it's really catching on. It's about 20, 25 minutes. Covino and Rich over promise because we always over promise things we don't have time to. And we're going to talk seniors in sports, like the old guys and people we thought were really old growing up. Like you said Don Sutton earlier, guys like that. Plus we're going to talk sports, movies and nepotism, jersey sales. What does it mean? Find out on over promised. Brand new episode. We go live, episode 105 in nine minutes. Well, you were talking about all those seniors. You're right, we're. We're talking about seniors from when we were kids. Because you're right, our parents are today's seniors. Michael Michael Jordan's a couple years away from being a senior. Magic Johnson, 66, he's a senior citizen. There you go. Like, I mean, like you said, all those baseball players, all these guys. How old is Joe Montana now? How old do you think up there? Right. Just think about all the people your parents age. They're around that age. Joe Montana, 69, senior citizen. Exactly. See, so, so it's funny how our default goes to our grandparents. It's like that meme that says when you think 30 years ago, you think that's 1970. Exactly. And speaking of senior citizens, Loincron dropped that bomb about Jerry Jones. 82 years old. He looks like he's 182. Offer your thoughts on that. Do you think Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones had a more casual conversation or what? I believe they probably had an understanding spending. But agents complicate things because they're fighting for more, and they look at it like, well, we're just doing our job. Their job is to get you the best bottom dollar that you could get. But that's what makes things sticky. And I loved your example of divorce lawyers complicating things. But even in our field, Rich, we're at the point where you have to let agents do that work for you. And it becomes a question of. I always found this interesting. Do you want an agent that sort of compliments you or counteracts what you're really about? Like, if you're a really nice guy, do you want a pit bull to fight for you, or do you want someone that sort of mirrors the personality type that you have? Because once I get it, Rich and I, we had. Because Rich and I are nice guys, right? And big companies sometimes take advantage of nice guys. So we're like, oh, you know, we need a pit bull lawyer, pit bull agent. And that guy rubbed everybody the wrong way. And the bosses came back and even told us, like, this guy's not representing you the right way. So Micah Parsons is Micah Parsons not being represented. He could be playing good cup bad cop, too. He could be like, yeah, Jerry, I want to do this. And then be like. And then tell his agent, you know, you know, that's not going to be good enough. But if Jerry. That's why you need an agent, too, because you don't want to ever come across like the bad guy. You can't negotiate your own contracts. If Jerry Jones is saying that he is offered Micah Parsons the most guaranteed money for a defensive player ever, I am curious what the hang up is that? That's it right there. So it's an interesting story. Thank you. Isaac Lohen Cron for the scoop on that and Michael Irvin and his YouTube show. All right, perfect. Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow, but we'll see you in a few seconds. Over. Promise. We'll see you. Arrivederchi, baby. See you in the over promised land. It begins next.

Podcast Host: Covino & Rich (C&R), Fox Sports Radio
Episode Theme: A humorous and nostalgic look at how grandparents shaped us, old-school memories, and a discussion of Jerry Jones’ bombshell about contract talks with Micah Parsons.
This episode, co-hosted by Covino and Rich, masterfully blends sports news with a warm, comedic deep dive into the quirky, universal memories we all share about our grandparents. Prompted by National Senior Citizens Day and recent comments by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on contract negotiations with Micah Parsons, the show explores the lasting influence of older generations while keeping things light, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny.
A giant, funny roundtable of collective memories, reflecting on how “old school” grandparents really were—and what makes their generation feel so different.
| Segment | Timestamp | |-----------------------------|---------------| | Jerry Jones/Parsons Story | 13:00, 1:30:00 | | Grandparent Memories Begin | ~00:08:00 | | “Grandma Candy” Segment | 00:12:30 | | Money Hiding, Old Gadgets | 00:28:00 | | Listener Calls/Stories | 00:51:00+ | | Sports Memories | 1:00:00+ | | Discussion – Generational Shift | 1:45:00 | | MLB Realignment/Season Stats | 1:40:00 |
The tone is irreverent, affectionate, and laugh-filled, with Covino and Rich bantering as old pals. They riff off personal memories and invite listeners to do the same, nailing just the right balance of heartfelt nostalgia and modern sarcasm. Listener calls add a patchwork of “shared Americana,” and even the sports segments are blended seamlessly with humor and a wink.
For National Senior Citizens Day, Covino & Rich deliver a cross-generational tribute that’s as funny as it is touching—a celebration of the quirks, lessons, and indelible impact of grandparents, sprinkled with the realities of modern athlete negotiations, and grounded by memories that truly connect us all.
