It's old school when 50 hits. We do this every Thursday on this show. We throw it back and reminisce and we get you involved at 87799 on Fox. 87799 on Fox and of course on YouTube. Like we said, Covino and Rich FSR. So it's like a two pronged doozy. Rich, because today is also Michael McDonald's birthday. Michael McDonald with the sweetest, most buttery falsetto voice. He's like the ying to Danny G's Yang. Danny G has smooth buttery on. Yeah, Michael McDonald smooth buttery on the higher falsetto end. I think we could all say there's a part of a lot of our generation that really loves the yacht rock sounds of Michael McDonald because of our parents, right? And on that same note, we got to acknowledge what a great parent, father and husband James Van Der Beek was. He said it recently when he was a young man, he identified himself as an actor and it wasn't fulfilling. And what really fulfilled him was being a father. And he was a father of six. Six little kids.
Rich
Brutal.
Covino
Which makes the story even more heart wrenching. Rest in peace, James Van Der Beek. So in tribute, in honor, we ask you, what are some of those things that you love because of your parents a la Michael McDonald?
Danny G
My mom still thinks he's black, by the way.
Rich
He's not. And Daryl Hall.
Covino
Right, And Daryl Hall. There's a lot of people out there. I've heard from a lot of our black friends that they thought their whole life, Darrell hall of hall and Oates was a black dude. And then you see this guy with a blonde pompadour. You're oh my God, sort of shocked.
Danny G
The only reason my mom found out what Michael McDonald actually looked like was when the Sweet Freedom video came out, I was telling Spotty and Iowa Sam, during the break. Yeah. You mind if I play that for.
Covino
A second from the Running Scared soundtrack? Yeah. Gregory Hines. Yeah.
Rich
Woo hoo.
Covino
And by the way, it's funny you bring this up because the video stands out to me too. I've never seen a guy hit falsettos like that so effortlessly. And it stood out to me even as a kid.
Danny G
Yeah. It was like he wasn't even trying.
Covino
Not even trying.
Rich
Can we just play Michael McDonald music for the rest of the hour?
Covino
Well, again, why do we love him? Because our parents did. They played it. It was the soundtrack of our lives. Cruising around. We saw the Doobie Brothers on what's Happening. So things that you love because your parents loved it too. And we got it from them.
Rich
Yeah. Whether it be sports, music shows. What did you now looking, looking back, it's fun to look back and be like, you know, the reason I like this is really just because, like my mom or dad did. And a couple of things come to mind, I think. But my dad loved Three's Company so much that to me, John Ritter, like falling over a couch. I think my dad convinced me that physical comedy is where it's at, which probably is why I love Jim Carrey, which is why that's why Rich fell.
Covino
Over the chair at super bowl dinner in front of the bosses.
Rich
So to me, I mean, you could say just the style of comedy you like. I know that the reason I'm a 49ers fan, you know, my dad told me and convinced me when I was a five year old little kid.
Covino
Is that why I like women in lingerie, Rich? Because my dad liked Benny Hill growing up.
Rich
Possible. Possible. But my dad convinced me as a little kid. Oh, Richie. There is no one cooler than Joe Montana. So here I am, I'm like, you.
Covino
Know what your parents are doing? They're planting seeds. Intentionally or not, they are planting seeds.
Rich
I'm four or five years old and there's Joe Montana. I have a little. My little jersey on. And my dad convinced me. And hey, fast forward, you know, 40 plus years later, here I am loving Joe Montana and the 49ers. And you know, you got to remember these are. That's how you pick your team. That's how you pick your style.
Covino
Most of our sports alliances come from something our parents did or said or sat us down to watch. Right. So your calls now at 87799 on Fox. 87799 on Fox. Let's go. Let's get into it.
Rich
Big time. Influences, I would say. Do you think even as far as like the women your dad found were attractive, you're like, oh, me too.
Covino
No, not so much. No. Nuh, no.
Rich
Well, I remember my dad.
Covino
I could think of two.
Rich
My dad used to love the scene in. And I remember as a little boy being like, yeah, she. When Chevy Chase is at the pool and Christie Brinkley jumps in.
Covino
Oh, you were like, in your mind you're like, blondes are hot.
Rich
In my mind I'm like, this is beauty right here.
Covino
Hot blondes. This is crazy.
Dan Byers
This is crazy.
Rich
Is that what he was saying? This is crazy. This is crazy.
Covino
This is crazy. This is crazy. One of my dad's favorite scenes know for sure is when Selma Hayek comes out in From Dusk till Dawn. And I don't think anyone could deny that scene. So yeah, maybe there is something to that. All right, so the things you love because your parents loved it.
Rich
I would say I'm going to open this up even more. Not only the things you loved, but the things you do now as an adult and you realize you're only doing it because your parents.
Covino
You know when you realize this, when you first move out of your house and you're shopping for the first time and you realize all the brands that you buy were only because your parents bought them. I remember that's all you know, and it's normal to you. Like I remember calling my mom like, yeah, what kind of, you know, fill in the blank kind of detergent do you get again? And then it becomes your thing only because you're. It was your parents thing.
Rich
Like there came a point where I realized, guess what I was.
Dan Byers
Sam, what brand was that, by the way? Cove.
Covino
I don't remember Tide. I don't do my laundry gain.
Rich
Camino's mom did his laundry until he was 30. Then his girlfriend just took it over. Yeah, I remember as a, as Camino said as a young man doing the same thing and being like, my parents use the weakest brands. I remember I was like, my parents use PepsiD and toothpaste. That's the cheapest week one. No wonder I have cavities.
Covino
That's why you have cavities.
Rich
When I became.
Dan Byers
What brand was that?
Covino
Pepsi.
Dan Byers
And oh, I was like Pepsi, like Pepcid.
Covino
Ac.
Dan Byers
Like the heartburn?
Covino
No, Pepsident. Pepsodent. Pepsident. Yeah, sounds like.
Dan Byers
Yeah, an accident.
Covino
I don't know what.
Danny G
Oh, for dentures.
Rich
Right, for them. For dentures. So pepsidin.
Dan Byers
Is that even round anymore?
Covino
Did you know what?
Rich
I think it's dollars 99 cents.
Covino
I only did this because my dad did it, right? But then I stopped because I realized there was another way. For years, like, my dad would. You know how every kid pretends to shave because his dad is shaving or whatever? And then you remember your dad with his deodorant, like. And he would fog up the whole bathroom.
Dan Byers
Burning holes in the ozone layer.
Covino
With his giant cold can of Right Guard. So when I became of age, right, what did I get? I got a giant cold can of Right Guard. Now it fog up the b. I realized there was another way. And you got a stick or something, right? You know, my dad, I think he's.
Rich
Like the only guy that still uses the can. Keeps him in business.
Covino
He still use. I'm like, dad, I just realized that my last visit, I'm like, you still use that can of deodorant?
Rich
I used to go on Amazon and find it from someone that bought 100 pack years ago.
Dan Byers
Do they have spray on deodorant and anti bur anymore?
Covino
I didn't know they still sold it.
Dan Byers
They sell Aquanet.
Rich
I was going to say Kavito uses Aquanet for his hair because his mom did.
Covino
So my dad still wears tighty whities and uses the can of Right Guard. And we do too.
Rich
Things you did and do because your parents somehow convinced you it was the way. It wasn't until I was a grown up that I realized, you know, I could stay for the whole game. I was convinced that you leave after the seventh inning stretch to beat traffic.
Covino
Gotta be traffic rich traffic.
Rich
And then there came a point where I remember I was going to games on my own and you got burned, Danny. I was going to games on my own. And, like, I'd hear take me out to the ball game, a little Lazy Mary at Citi Field. Like, it looks like we got to start headed home. And I'm like, why though, Rich, do.
Covino
You allow your kids to get the ice cream sundae at the baseball game? Or do you say we got ice cream at home because your dad said that?
Rich
That was the only time I was ever allowed. That was the only time I was ever allowed to get ice cream.
Covino
Are you allowed? You were allowed to get the little helmet of ice cream?
Rich
I think sometimes we also correct the things our parents didn't let us do.
Covino
Like, and you spoil your kids over correction.
Rich
Yeah, you're like cotton candy. Sure, kid. I never was allowed.
Dan Byers
I grew up with always skim milk in the house and never any condiments like ranch or blue cheese. And as an adult, I just inhale condiments. Like blue cheese ranch and Caesar dressing. And I always buy 2% or whole milk.
Rich
I tell you, it's really interesting because there are things. This conversation is fun because it's going all over the place, but I like it. There are things you do because your parents did, but then there's also things you counter act. Right?
Covino
Like, you counter program.
Rich
When I go to a restaurant.
Danny G
Danny, you like your version of the Super Bowl.
Rich
You and I have eaten together plenty of times to know that we go to a restaurant. I'm like, a million appetizers. Because when I was a kid, it was like, appetizer, no, we don't do. You know, you don't do appetizers.
Danny G
Yeah. Andy gets the milkshake.
Rich
Oh, yeah.
Danny G
And speaking of those restaurants, how many of your dads or moms would, like, pull up because they wanted you to beat the other customers into the door to make the reservation?
Rich
Go, get us a table.
Danny G
Get a table. Beat those people.
Covino
How mad would your parents be if you drank the soda before your meal came because they didn't give, like, free refills? Finish with your. Your Shirley Temple. Before, Daddy. Before the salad even got there.
Danny G
Daddy.
Rich
I pulled that move. The other day, we went to an Italian restaurant around here. Maria's Italian Kitchen. I told my wife and kids, I get out of the car.
Covino
I'll go.
Rich
I'll go park.
Dan Byers
I'll find parking.
Rich
I'll find parking. Go, go. I saw, like, you know, you see two other people walk into the restaurant, you're like, beat them.
Danny G
The tradition lives on.
Covino
Speaking of traditions, even holiday traditions, that's really what it comes from, right? It's your parents and their parents.
Rich
And think of your Christmas traditions. We talked about this recently. Besides, you know, Santa bringing kids presents.
Covino
Yeah. Maybe you. Maybe you add a few things, maybe you subtract a few things, but it's really all where it comes from.
Rich
We talked about, other than, you know, of course, Santa bringing kids presents. We talked about how some families. You may open a couple family presents on Christmas Eve. Why do you do that? Because you did it as a kid and you just sort of mimic it, so.
Covino
Because we all love Michael McDonald on his birthday because of.
Rich
And Arsenio. He's 70.
Covino
Our parents. Yeah. Arsenio's how old?
Rich
72.
Covino
Oh, my God. He looks fantastic now.
Rich
Black don't crack.
Covino
Who looks better for their age, Arsenio hall or Jimmy Mouth of the South? Hart.
Rich
We just saw a video during the break. Covino and I were scrolling on Instagram.
Covino
He looks the same.
Rich
Remember the Wrestling manager Jimmy Hart. He looks the same because he always looks so peculiar.
Covino
We've had him on the show.
Rich
Jimmy the Mouth of the South. Hart looks the same as he did when he was like managing the honky Tonk, man. He's got to be like 80, 82.
Covino
Oh, my God.
Rich
Yo, Dan Byer, you know Jimmy the Mouth of the South Hart, right?
Covino
Yo, he's the best looking 82 year old guy on the planet.
Rich
I mean, he looks identical because he always looked sort of different, right?
Byron
Yeah, absolutely. He said 82.
Covino
82. I just looked it up. Arsenio Hall, 70. He looks great too though. But 70, man. Jimmy Hart wins, I think.
Dan Byers
Does he color his hair?
Rich
I'm looking at Jimmy.
Covino
Of course he. Of course he does.
Dan Byers
Yeah.
Byron
He's now known as Jimmy Hart disease. But.
Covino
I love it. Good one.
Rich
Well, I mean, it is a weekend of love. Jimmy Hart.
Covino
Shout out to Hart, man. Shout out to him.
Danny G
And again, since yesterday we were talking about James Van Der Beek and what a great dad he was. And you know, we've been seeing all these videos. Rich, you put something on Instagram and we were talking about yesterday that made things that make us tear up a little bit. I was watching that video, dude, his.
Rich
Family up on stage singing the Dawson's Creek theme on stage. My goodness.
Danny G
So it got us thinking about parents today, man.
Rich
Yeah, again. Let's go. The phones are all lit, so you want to go rapid fire. I caught the names Danny, but Bersh is logged into this computer.
Covino
Oh, jolly bush.
Danny G
You're all good. Let's start with Trevor and Reno. Jolly Bersh.
Rich
Jolly Bersh.
Covino
Hey, Trevor, you're on the Covino and Rich show. We're throwing it back on a Thursday. What's up? Sure.
Caller
So, grew up in Nevada, so gotta learn some gambling strategy at a young age. Always take the points. Favorites are for suckers and parlays are also for suckers. Got that from my dad. Still a huge dog player.
Rich
It's so funny you would say that. Why would I not think of this? With our pals at DraftKings and everything we do here, My dad at an early age taught me about the teaser bet. All Richie, six points and take the if you could get a good underdog at over 10. Oh yeah. My dad taught me the teaser. And to this day I do teasers because of my dad.
Covino
No doubt. And Mike, who runs this place, always talks about how he takes so much pride in like he taught his daughter how to play craps and how to work a casino. And I'm sure she learned all that from her dad. All right, so things we love because of our parents. What else?
Danny G
Let's go to Georgia. Big Burt.
Covino
Hey, big Bert. Do we all agree on Michael McDonald.
Rich
By the way, bro? Hey, Bert.
Caller
Hey, man. Hey. Hey.
Rich
I'm.
Caller
This year, this day old. This year's old. To know that that Michael McDonald's song was called Sweet Freedom, I just. I sang it 100 times just walking around.
Rich
Oh, he wasn't even saying sweet Freedom.
Danny G
He was.
Caller
The longest. I swear to God. Hey, the biggest thing y' all should rep yourselves. Sports radio. Growing up in New York, Don Imus, Mike, and the Mad Dog, my dad listened to it all the time, so that's why I listen to it now.
Covino
Dude, nail on the. That's my first exposure to talk radio, and it was like, great call.
Danny G
Great call.
Covino
My dad listening to Howard Stern or, you know, something ridiculous like that growing up. That was my first exposure to it.
Rich
Being in the car with your dad and also, you hear.
Covino
Everybody. Exactly. That dog, Russo. Great call, man.
Danny G
My parents had Vin Scully on in the car.
Covino
No diggity, no doubt.
Rich
Where do you want to go say hi to our friend Tripp in Vegas.
Covino
Trip McNeely. Triple.
Caller
Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. I got three. And y' all know this from being around me. One. My dishes never in the sink. My bed's always made. My house is always clean. If I invite, I pay. Y' all know that. And then here's one y' all really, like, you don't have to be a member of somewhere. You just need to be good friends with a member at that point.
Rich
It's a good, good lesson to be learned.
Covino
I like it. Thank you, Tripp. Appreciate you, buddy.
Rich
He brought up a good. What was the first one? He said.
Covino
Don'T have to pay. Bed clean. His bed is made.
Rich
Oh, things you do.
Dan Byers
No dishes in the sink because of your parents.
Rich
It took me a while. It took me, like, multiple girlfriends along the way to be like, use the dishwasher. Because my mom brainwashed me to be like, Richie, you wash the dishes like a dishwasher. Like that. Like, that's for lazy people.
Covino
No.
Rich
And it also uses a lot less water than washing by hand.
Dan Byers
We all thought, oh, yeah, of course. The dishwasher.
Danny G
My mom made us scrub the dishes, then put them in the dishwasher.
Covino
You know, my mom say, no more wire hangers, so I don't have any. Because of my mom. Because of mommy dearest.
Rich
Didn't your mom used to be like, Calgon, Take Me away.
Covino
Yeah, see, I learned that from my mom, too.
Dan Byers
Ava, I'm calling.
Danny G
So are there certain actors or actresses you guys love to this day? Because your parents were, you know, such fans?
Covino
You know what? It's almost counter programming for me. Like we said before, my mom lived like she was from the 1940s, bro. So my mom is all about James Cagney and, you know, a bunch of old classics. And of course, I admire James Cagney because my mom always pushed them on me. But I don't like watching old movies because that's all she wanted to watch. When I was a kid, I wanted to watch the 80s movies or fun movies, whatever was out. 90s movies. And I'm sitting at home, my family watching old movies, Turner Movie classics all the time. So I almost, like, went the opposite direction.
Rich
Yeah, he's real jerk, apparently. But my dad used to think Chevy Chase was the funniest dude. So, like Fletch and Vacation and, you know, my, you know, old snl.
Danny G
Watch that documentary.
Rich
Yeah, apparently Chevy Chase, no one likes him. But in the 80s, he was funny as hell. My dad and I watched a ton of Chevy Chase movies.
Covino
Danny G. Brings up something that we often talk about. Like, every family, for the most part, is a blank family. Like, we have pals that are. They're a Tom Cruise family because the parents love Tom Cruise. The whole family love Tom Cruise. That being said, I would say my family is a Travolta, Nick Cage family. You know, they love the. The movie Face off, clearly. But if it's Travolta or Nick Cage, it seems like where it seems like the whole. And Tom Hanks, too, right? Who doesn't like Tom Hanks? But I would say my family always, like, would love a good Nick Cage flick family.
Rich
Man, have they seen that one? My goodness.
Covino
Of course.
Rich
Let's go to. Let's go to Montana. Say hi to Chris. Hey, Chris.
Covino
Hey, Chris.
Caller
Hey, Cabino.
Covino
And Rich.
Caller
Hey, thanks for having me on. I got three things that my father inspired me with. First is to be a Cubs fan, for sure. Second, to not be a Bears fan because Minnesota Vikings are better. And that John Candy is one of the best comedian actors of all time.
Covino
All things I'm down with, you know, sports and John Candy. Love that. And you made me think of something else while you were talking. I mean, my love of music is straight up for my mom. I mean, I got into radio because of my love of music. I named my daughter Melody because I love music. But it started with like, like, you know, when it goes back to, you know, your Tom Cruise family, whatever. Very much a Beatles family, Right? So Beatles, for sure. You start loving the Beatles, you realize all these bands that were influenced by the Beatles, you start developing a love of music. Boom. You know, my whole life revolved around music for the majority of my. My teens, 20s, 30s, and today.
Rich
Kaya, Kai, wrap this up with a thought.
Covino
Sure.
Rich
For everyone in the room. Think of the sports teams you love here on FOX Sports Radio.
Covino
All right. Yeah.
Rich
Danny. Raiders, Dodgers, Lakers. You're a West coast guy. Think of the origin of when you first rocked that jersey or when you first rooted for Marcus Allen or Magic Johnson or Fernando Mania or maybe Steve Garvey back in the day when you were a little boy. Do you remember mom, dad, uncle, cousin, someone being like, danny, this is who you like. Do you remember those origin stories?
Covino
Oh, yeah.
Danny G
I remember my mom saying, we cheer for Dusty Baker in this house and Magic Johnson. The Lakers were on all the time. And then as far as the Raiders, my mom pulled me out of school for the LA Raiders parade championship parade.
Rich
Unlike those weenies in Seattle that make their kids go to school.
Covino
Right?
Dan Byers
That's how you do it.
Danny G
Yeah. I was like a kindergartner, and she's like, I don't care. You're not going to school. I'm taking you to City hall for the parade.
Rich
Was that when. Yeah, that was when Marcus Allen was.
Danny G
The toast of the town.
Rich
So was Jim Pluckman, 38 to 9.
Covino
Just like Danny G. Said, I grew up in a Yankee household, and that was it. We were a Yankee family, and that's courtesy of my parents.
Rich
Do you want to hear just the backstory of something that could have made me completely different? I feel like you guys would look at me so different had this been the way I grew up on Long Island. My dad convinced me Joe Montana was the coolest dude in the world. It's my only non.
Covino
I mean, he wasn't wrong. So, like, he was right.
Rich
It was my one, like, wow, you're a New Yorker. How do you like the Niners? My dad, from the time I was five, told me Joe Montana was the coolest. So I guess when I was five, I was a front runner. But it's been 40 years, so I.
Covino
Think I know you just did what you were told.
Rich
So it was. It was my one out of town team. But I own it, you know, 40 years later, would you believe my dad? My dad's the one guy that may have this story. My dad grew up a Yankees fan. Roger Maris was his favorite player. My dad went to Fordham University in the Bronx and got his car stolen multiple times to the point where he's like, f the Bronx. F everything about the Bronx. He met my mom, who was a Mets fan, and my dad sort of.
Covino
He jumped.
Dan Byers
So just like, aggravated with correlation between grand theft auto.
Rich
I've had enough. Yeah, like. Like he felt like he got burnt out of college and like, I hear the clap. And it was around the time Yankees. It was almost around the time where the Yankees went through their. Their only little slump ever. And the Mets were sort of new and 69 Mets and exciting. And my dad sort of shifted gears. Can you imagine if I was a Yankees fan, how many more moments I would have had? But then again, we would have been like. We would have both been Yankee fans. That would have been unbearable.
Covino
Yeah. And it would have changed. Yeah, it would have changed who you are worked out the way it was supposed to. But today we acknowledge that our love of. Yeah. You know, you should see my yacht rock playlist, courtesy of my parents. Oh, so good. From Michael McDonald to man Paul notes. Who else is on there who's not on that? So many great acts, so many great bands. Baby, imma want you Baby, I'm gonna need you oh, man. How do I stay keto when I'm listening to all that bread?
Rich
All right, we'll go rapid fire with all your feedback in just a few minutes. And the feedback is coming in, and it's great. Something I have to watch, by the way. Danny, we're talking about what to watch in the football lull that we're in right now. The football hangover. We have the blues. I have not watched it. I don't know how it slipped my mind. The Rise of the Niners, narrated by Tom Brady. How have I missed this? I know it's. I know it's on, but I got to. Maybe I'll watch that tonight. So thank you, Ashley, for chiming in on the intro.
Danny G
And you have Love is Blind to catch up on.
Rich
I have Love is Blind. Is it true a girl put glue in her eyes?
Covino
Yes, yes, yes. She got rushed to the hospital as.
Rich
Spot, by the way, I'm telling you, as Spot said earlier, maybe it really is love is Blind.
Covino
Don't be rude. Star Search isn't half bad either. If you need mindless entertainment, you know, we'll talk more about that on over. Promise.

Which by the way, in that yacht rock documentary, they say like Steely Dan is like the nucleus of all of it. They all stem out from that.
Rich
What was the yacht rock documentary where they started calling some of the legendary bands and like F you?
Covino
Well, that's the one I'm talking about.
Rich
Yeah. Is that Steely Dan?
Covino
What?
Rich
Nothing to do with it.
Covino
That's Steely Dan. Yeah. They hate the term yacht rock.
Rich
Why?
Covino
Because it's soft, classic rock.
Rich
But it gave their genre tons of life. Whether it's they don't like them. I heart all these. All these.
Covino
They weren't making movies. They weren't making songs necessarily for dudes on boats.
Rich
Yeah, but I mean, we all know, we all know the term and we embrace it.
Covino
No. And the king, the king of all of it. Even though Steely Dan is the nucleus, Michael McDonald was on all the hit tracks and when you got Warren g sampling Michael McDonald, would you rather be.
Dan Byers
Known for butt rock or yacht rock? I think I'd rather be known for yacht rock. That's true.
Covino
That is true.
Danny G
By the way, Rich, it's because it doesn't describe how hard they rocked.
Covino
Right?
Rich
Isn't butt Rock's like, what, 2000s and.
Covino
90S, like, shined down and trapped and stuff?
Dan Byers
Divorced dad rock breaking Benjamin.
Rich
I like calling divorced dad rock's perfect definition.
Dan Byers
Yeah, I like some butt rock.
Covino
Some divorced dad rock is good. But, yeah, we're talking Michael McDonald and Yacht Rock. Because it's his birthday. It's his 74th birthday. And we love the smooth, buttery voice of Michael McDonald and Rich, when I came to your house today to do our Patreon show. Yeah, we're on Patreon every day if you want to join us uncensored. Rich is out of control on that show.
Rich
Stopping maybe a little.
Covino
Patreon.com Covino and Rich. I came in singing ambrosia. You're the biggest part of me. And where did I get all that? From my parents. You're in the backseat of the car. You had no choice. Change the radio station. You listen to what they listen to.
Rich
I could be wrong. Rarely, but I could be wrong. I feel like you're speaking Dan Byers language. DB I feel like you're a yacht rock fan. Is that true?
Covino
Are you Seals and Cross?
Byron
Very much so. And honestly, I don't want to pat myself on the back, but I was a big Christopher Cross fan when I was a senior in high school. So this was mid-1990s.
Covino
Rich was just a Kris Kross fan.
Rich
Daddy Mac will make you jump.
Danny G
Jump.
Byron
I was a big fan of Christopher Cross and that it wasn't yacht rock back then, but I did have tapes and loved to chill to the soft rock music at that time.
Rich
Hey, Byron, did you win your wife over by making a sweet mixtape? Is that part of your backstory or not?
Covino
One of my favorite memes is a Christopher Cross meme. Have you ever seen it?
Rich
It's fantastic.
Covino
All hail Christopher Cross, the yacht rock superstar. The only man. You gotta pay attention to this. The only man to look like both members of Tenacious D in one lifetime. Because when he was younger, he looked like Jack Black and now he looks like Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. But, like, weirdly similar.
Byron
He's gotten a second career, though, out of the explosion of yacht rock.
Covino
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Byron
There's no doubt about it.
Covino
But again, why do we bring this up? On a throwback Thursday, old school in 50 hits. Because a lot of us love it because our parents loved it. It was popular at the time. And what are other things we love? Because our parents just raised us that way. And who was a really great parent, James Van Der Beek. We honor him on this Thursday, rest in peace. He had six kids. In today's world. We acknowledge that because that's like having 16 kids. Because how many people you know? More than two kids nowadays. Yeah, seriously, like you don't know when you hear six.
Rich
Today's world, a lot of NFL players.
Covino
And I'm from a family. I'm from a family of 5K.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
You know, and we all grew up with people, more than one, more than one or two siblings for the most part. When you hear six kids, you're like, man, and he lived for his kids.
Rich
So you can have another kid or what?
Dan Byers
I don't know.
Covino
Hey, I'm in the game, right? I'm in the game. All right, so we're Covino and Rich live from Fox Sports Radio studio. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free.

We wrap up this old school and 50 hits with your phone calls now. Things you got from your parents, things you love because of your parents.
Rich
After we take these three calls. You just said you're in the game. I have a theory.
Dan Byers
In the game.
Rich
I have a theory based on what you just said. I'll explain. I saw an article out of the New York Post a second ago. But let's say hi to market Alaska. What's up, Alaska?
Caller
Hey, fellas. How you doing? Well, the reason why I'm a Mets fan, I wanted to be a Yankee fan when I was seven. But my dad said absolutely not. I said, why not? He said we were Brooklyn Dodgers fans. They left and broke our hearts and we hate the Yankees. So I'm a Met fan.
Rich
Well, welcome with.
Covino
I thought you were a Mets fan because you're a glutton for punishment, you know?
Rich
Yeah, he's sitting there ice fishing, all mad. The doors hurt.
Covino
But that makes sense. That's the story for a lot of people.
Rich
You know what? A lot of people don't know. And forgive me, because this is Fox Sports Radio. Our listeners are very, very smart. And I say that not facetiously, you know, a lot of people don't know where the Mets got their colors. I thought it was common knowledge, being a New York Mets fan. But when the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Giants both left New York to come to the west coast and it was just the Yankees for a minute, it was just the Yankees. Brooklyn Dodger blue and Giants orange are the Mets colors that they have the same blue. Dodger blue is Mets blue, and they took the orange from the New York Giants. So the Mets are really just a color combo of the two teams that left for the West Coast.
Covino
Rich.
Rich
The more you know.
Dan Byers
I mean, thank you.
Rich
Did you know that, Sam?
Dan Byers
No. And Rich more I know.
Danny G
Now, that's another reason why it's okay that you're turning into a Dodgers fan, Rich.
Rich
Oh, can I tell you, we talked about influencing our kids. My son, without my pushing, maybe also because I got us to be the Mets in our ponyball team. He's leaning little Mets again, Danny. He's still like, I like the Dodgers, but now he's like, I'm Benny Bashet. You know what Rich said to me.
Covino
Today with a straight face? I'm not even joking. He was like, it's really weird. My son Benny really loves all the meets. The Meet the Mets songs. Yes. Really weird. Not that you have any influence on them. That. No, It'd be really weird if he never showed it to him.
Rich
No.
Covino
And then he'd say, yeah, your family has great influence on it.
Danny G
That's in all little kids algorithms.
Covino
Yeah. Yeah. It's not that Rich pushed it on him or anything.
Rich
Bring your kitties, bring your wife. Guaranteed to have the time of your life. That's what I've always said.
Covino
Yeah. It's crazy how your son loves that song.
Rich
Well, I said, you know, the late, great Vander Beek, who He lost at 48, has six kids. You were saying how people don't have big families anymore. We saw that. Not today's world. Our Buddy here at iHeart, Bobo, stopped by with his newborn, and I heard Kavina, go, bro, I'm still in the game. And I'm like, hey, you hit your 40s, and you wonder, am I still in the game? Danny, you had a kid in your 40s. Like, we. We have kids older now. Right? It's the way it is. I just read a really daunting study, and I'm not trying to overdo it with the smut talk here on Fox Sports Radio. We did talk about.
Covino
Go for it, bro.
Rich
We did talk about Olympians in the beginning of the show and how they had to order 10,000 more condoms for Olympic Village, which just shows you these young in shape athletes still have booty on their mind. This is out of the New York Post today.
Covino
Oh, boy.
Rich
Let me just read this headline, then we'll go to danbuy for an update. But just listen to this. As we hit Valentine's Day. Weekend, Lovers weekend.
Covino
Happy Valentine's, Papa.
Rich
This is out of the New York Post. The headline reads, americans are on the verge of sextinction. As shocking numbers of people going without sex are on the rise and social media is to blame.
Covino
They're saying, unless you're an Olympic athlete.
Rich
They're saying, get this, because I know we have, you know, men and women listening, but I would say a little more men than women. They're saying one in three adult men have not had sexual relations in a year.
Covino
There's no sex.
Rich
One in three.
Covino
So one in three men haven't got it on in over a year. You know what it is? You really want to know what it is? They say, social media, it's the hub.
Rich
Yeah. It's all the smut.
Covino
That pants is changing people's habits.
Rich
So, like, eight.
Dan Byers
There's this guy I follow on social media named Scott Galloway. He's a professor. He says it's like. Also like AI partners and AI like girlfriends.
Covino
I bet.
Dan Byers
I don't know. It's worth looking into.
Covino
I bet. I bet it's all of that.
Rich
The other day, my wife and I went on a double date with. I was Sam and a robot. It was weird.
Dan Byers
Yeah, about that. Yeah, it's weird.
Rich
All right, let's go to DB for an update.
Covino
Oh, Sam.
Rich
Oh, Sammy, you look so handsome today.
Covino
Sammy has a girlfriend.
Byron
I've seen her backyard.
Covino
I do.
Danny G
Yes.
Dan Byers
Never heard.
Byron
Beautiful. In early March.
Rich
As I was saying, the guy that's like, oh, my girlfriend's from another state.
Covino
That's exactly what she is. Yes. I've never met her.
Byron
Nobody has.
Rich
But people have met her, Dan. She goes to another high school. You might see her at the prom. Okay. Yeah, we'll just stick to that.
Byron
At the Winter Olympics, guys, the United States men's ice hockey team took the ice for the first time today, facing Latvia.
Covino
Here comes Jack Hughes. Hughes dropping it back off the crate.
Rich
Behind the back path is Chuck.
Covino
Back to Jack Hughes. Nelson.
Danny G
Score.
Dan Byers
Wow.
Byron
Brock Nelson's second goal of the game on NBC Universal game was seen on USA Network. And the United States tops Latvia today by A score of 5 to 1. Canada won their opener over checky. A 5, nothing. American snowboarder Chloe Kim won the silver medal in the women's half pipe. Jazz forward Jaren Jackson Jr. Done for the season. He had a growth removed from his knee. Should be ready for training camp. Free agent forward Jeremy Sohan is signing a deal with the Knicks. Spurs guard de' Aaron Fox replacing Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo in this weekend's NBA All Star game. Now Fox is going to play for Team usa. That means he card Norman Powell is going to be a part of the world team. ESPN says Pistons guard Cade Cunningham purchased a minority stake of the Texas Rangers in Major League Baseball in college hoops. North Carolina star Caleb Wilson out indefinitely with a fracture in his non shooting hand. Phillies released out fielder Nick Castellanos today while owing him $20 million. The Dodgers gave Max Muncie a one year extension and resigned Kike Hernandez to a one year deal. Rio Hisitsuni leads the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am at ten under. Rory McElroy is six back at minus four. Scotty Scheffler even par today he's ten back of the lead. Guys, back to you.
Rich
Nick Castellanos could be a pretty decent pickup for someone. I wonder where he lands.
Byron
Yeah, I've always been a fan of his, but he and the Phillies just had a bad falling out.
Rich
Yeah, but I'm saying if there's a team that's looking to add another outfielder.
Byron
That could, I'm sure he'll sign with the Dodgers. I'm sure that's right. That's. I think that's what we have.
Rich
Maybe the Dodgers fourth outfielder. You know, just, just in case they need someone. Thank you D.B. and, and Dan, I want to give a shout out to our buddy Rob Baker, who always listens on our San Antonio affiliate.
Covino
Touchdown Maker.
Rich
Rob Baker brings more fun facts than anyone else. He's a big sports fan and a music fan. He goes Kavino and Rich. Christopher Cross, like Dan Byers said, is at the top of the yacht. At the top of the yacht rock food chain. Take me away to where I'm he went to high school in San Antonio and he's such a football fan that there is footage he just sent me of Christopher Cross performing at a Houston Oilers game in an Earl Campbell jersey.
Byron
Now I'll give you the tidbit. I asked Christopher Cross about that performance when I met him about 13 years ago. I think he had the same agent as Earl Campbell at the time. So there was a concert where he donned the 34 in the blue jersey and that was the oh yeah, get this. How about that? I know we don't like toppers around here, but I went right to the source.
Covino
You think that's a fun fact? Do you know in the song Sailing, it was an accent. That orchestra in the beginning.
Byron
Yeah, we all saw it on TikTok.
Covino
Come on.
Byron
Yeah, it was an accident.
Covino
Look it up. All right.
Rich
Thank you, db. Thank you, Covino and thank you, Rob Baker. We got more Covino and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Little yacht Rock Thursday with Kavino and Rich. Because of our parents and Michael McDonald's birthday.
Covino
Michael McDonald's birthday. And he sort of was on every track. But this is Christopher cross, one of DB's favorites. And we referenced that. The intro was a complete mistake, like a mix up on the tracks and they left it in there.
Rich
I want to hear the beginning, the.
Covino
Orchestral violins in the beginning. It was a total mistake. This is how it starts. And I think Kris Kross's brother somebody was like, yo, I really like the beginning. They're like, what are you talking about?
Dan Byers
Keep that in there.
Covino
Yeah, keep that in. It was a total mistake.
Rich
This is like a mistake.
Covino
And then they just faded it down and they left it in.
Rich
You sure that's true?
Covino
Swear to God, if I'm lying, I'm dying.
Rich
I see things on TikTok and I don't know what to believe anymore.

Episode Title: C&R – Sports & Music From Our Parents
Date: February 13, 2026
Hosts: Steve Covino and Rich Davis
Notable Contributors: Danny G, Dan Byers, Byron
Theme:
Exploring how the sports teams, music, and even life habits we love and follow as adults are so often directly influenced by our parents—plus, a warm tribute to James Van Der Beek and smooth musical shoutouts for Michael McDonald’s birthday.
Covino and Rich, sitting in for Dan Patrick, blend playful banter with a thoughtful look at generational influence. The team salutes Michael McDonald on his 74th birthday and remembers actor James Van Der Beek, honoring parenthood and the ways our tastes and traditions are shaped by family. Listeners call in to share their own stories of inherited fandoms and quirky household customs.
In this light-hearted, nostalgia-soaked episode, Covino and Rich, joined by Danny G and others, explore how deeply we’re shaped by our parents—whether it’s our favorite teams, old sitcoms, the music we love, or even the way we load the dishwasher. Callers add rich, relatable stories, and the hosts' banter keeps the mood upbeat, especially with repeated shoutouts to Michael McDonald’s legendary voice and birthday.
Final Thought:
Covino sums it up:
“Our whole life is basically a reflection of what our parents liked or did—on purpose or not.” ([23:22])
