Episode Overview

This fun-filled episode centers around nostalgia for childhood toys that hosts and listeners longed for but never received. In celebration of the anniversary of TV's first toy commercial—Mr. Potato Head—the crew reminisces about classic toys, the disappointment of not getting coveted items, and the ongoing urge to reclaim childhood dreams as adults. The episode then pivots to a humorous and pointed conversation about Philadelphia sports fans and the reputation of Philly as one of the roughest cities to play in.

• The transition between kids’ and adult bikes (“10-speeds”), and feeling out of place with the “wrong” bicycle.

(49:34 – 51:54)

[Steve Covino]

I could already tell you we're going to talk insults.

[Rich Davis]

What does that mean? What do you want to say to me?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. What are some of the biggest and greatest insults of all time?

[Rich Davis]

Because there's a great story out of Cleveland.

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And it has to do with the Sanders family and the Dodgers Cubs. Yeah. So you know what? It's better for over promise because it gets a little uncensored. So our bonus pod later today. The fun continues. But right now we're rocking out. We're going old school. CNR on FSR live from the Fox sports radio studio.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, so I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis, Danny G, Sam and byer. And before we take your phone calls because we get you involved right now at 877-9-FOX, can I shamelessly promote two things tonight on the history channel, Brand new episode of mysteries unearthed. And I think I'm on it. And they asked me to promote it and I want you to see me. So check it out. I posted a clip. So please like my clipcovino. And while you're on the IG and TikTok at Steve covcovino, I posted a picture of me with my original Mr. Potato Head. It looks like it's from like 1960 something. It's so gross how old it looks

[Rich Davis]

the picture looks like.

[Steve Covino]

But I promise you, it's like the early 80s.

[Rich Davis]

Kavila looks like he's 75 years old. You look like you were a child when there was black and white film.

[Steve Covino]

But dude, Everybody had a Mr. Potato Head. Am I right or no?

[Rich Davis]

Of course, of course. In fact, the late great Don Rickles played Mr. Potato Head on the toy story movies. I'm a marriage butt. I'm a marriage butt. I'm a make room for the single fellas.

[Steve Covino]

All right, so you can see me. My, my OG original Mr. Potato Head at Steve Covino. And everyone took the glasses or the lips and you put them on your own face. But on this day in 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy ever advertised on TV. And if you see the original commercial, it's wild because like Rich said, it was just a potato and you were supposed to put the nose and the eyes on a real potato.

[Rich Davis]

It looked creepy as could be. You ever see like, you ever see someone with really old school creepy like Santa Claus decorations back in the day for Christmas.

[Sam]

Like the Easter bunny from the 50s or 40s.

[Rich Davis]

Like, like, yeah, your parents Easter bunny was like just a creepy Rabbit, dude. The OG 1952 Potato Head commercial. Mr. Potato Head. It was really, like I said, the eyes, the mouth and the ears. And some people put it on like a. Like a skinny sweet potato, like a yam. Some put it on a. Like just a regular potato. It looks creepy. And the voiceovers. Grace, this is all old school. Like brought to you by Hasbro.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, hasbro Introducing she Mr. Potato Head. Yeah. So on that note, and based on that thought, I think we all had one. But what were the. What were the toys or even items, merchandise, whatever that you always wanted that you never got, right? What are those toys? I got two. And they still bother me to this day because then you often battle too. Like, well, I'm an adult. Can I go and find it on ebay? Just to fulfill my childhood dreams?

[Rich Davis]

I did what you just inserted.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, really? Yeah, because there's always that question.

[Rich Davis]

Let me, let me hit you with it. And I was disappointed and my parents were probably right. And it wasn't the animal. I did get that. The worst remote control car ever.

[Steve Covino]

The animal. The animal. Could anything stop the animal? And claws would come out of the tires.

[Rich Davis]

My parents did get that. So that's not on my list.

[Steve Covino]

But did you return it? Because it sucked.

[Rich Davis]

What? My parents wouldn't get me when I was a grown man, I got one like in like a weird. Like, it wasn't spiteful, but it was like, I got one now. I so badly wanted a Snoopy snow cone machine.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And I remember my parents being like, it's stupid, Richie. It just grinds ice. I'm like, yeah, but I want a snow cone.

[Steve Covino]

And my parents like, just so it's stupid.

[Danny G]

My mom, that was her answer for every toy commercial.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, that's stupid.

[Steve Covino]

That's stupid.

[Sam]

The kids kind of like stupid things.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but kids don't care. They just want it. Oh, but that's for. For losers.

[Rich Davis]

My dad wants it and mom, we're like, no, it's. It's. What is it? It grinds up ice. And no, you don't need. We don't need that.

[Steve Covino]

Have to be honest. I loved my Snoopy SOCO machine. I did. Oh, but you're right. It didn't work the way it was advertised. None of the stuff did that we had growing up. For me, it was my pet monster. Always wanted it, never got it. Remember that weird looking monster Handcuffs, like, oh, I want my pit monster. And. And I sort of grew out of it, I guess. I don't know. No one ever bought it for me. But I was a spoiled little a hole. So I had most things back then.

[Danny G]

How many pairs of designer jeans did you.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I had a lot.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I was spoiled, dude. I had so many Nintendo games. I was so spoiled. And see, I was.

[Rich Davis]

I was not. I lived a great little childhood. But I'll give you an example, Danny. If we went to a game on the circus, whatever was in town at Nassau Coliseum or Madison Square Garden in New York, no way on planet earth would my family buy me cotton candy. Every time. I'm like, jeff can't believe. Cotton candy never. Like, I feel like it's just sugar.

[Danny G]

It's just sugar that melts in your mouth.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, exactly. Your mom, I feel like they have the same playbook. You know what happens?

[Steve Covino]

Parents over. Correct. Now, now Rich buys all, you know, all the kids in his section. Cotton candy.

[Rich Davis]

That's cotton candy.

[Steve Covino]

He's the cotton candy man.

[Danny G]

You know, the toy car tracks and we used to see all the cool

[Steve Covino]

with a gun and all had that hot burning smell. Ye. Yeah.

[Danny G]

My older brother and I, we wanted those cars so badly. And my mom's like, no, no, no, no. Those are made cheaply. She had a story for everything. The one, the one thing we bugged her the most for though. Castle Grayskull.

[Steve Covino]

The actual castle.

[Danny G]

I had a he man. And I wanted that castle so bad.

[Steve Covino]

One of the only things I still have my parents at.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sorry to tell you, Danny, I had one. I know what I also had. I also had. I also had Snake Mountain. And it came with a little microphone.

[Danny G]

That's how he started his broadcast.

[Rich Davis]

It was. My first broadcast was from Snail live from Snake Mountain.

[Danny G]

It wasn't just the toy commercials. I wanted the Magic Johnson purple and gold and white Converse weapon.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Danny G]

So bad. And of course they came out in the mid late 80s with the Larry Bird Magic Johnson commercial where they were dueling against each other. And those Converse, I wanted those shoes.

[Steve Covino]

On that note, man, I'll never forget this. I was at Bam Burgers. This is like Macy's before Macy's. Right? So I'm a little kid and this is timely and it's one of the only things I didn't get because I told you I was pretty spoiled. And I don't take any pride in saying that. I don't think it got to my head. I don't think I'm the worst guy ever, but I try not to be. But anyway, didn't get this.

[Sam]

I'm curious what Danny's mom would have, like, approved of him in terms of toys. Like, what did she sign off on? She was like, no, that's stupid. That's poorly made. What did she actually think was, like, quality?

[Danny G]

She got me a Big Wheel. It was a Darth Vader Big Wheel.

[Steve Covino]

Those are cool, though. Made in America.

[Sam]

Quality made.

[Steve Covino]

So I was at Bam Burgers with my mom and my grandma and dude, I saw what I thought was the coolest thing that ever was. Until this day. I still think it is. It was the Michael Jackson, like, Thriller jacket. But there was also like the Beat it jackets.

[Rich Davis]

They read, you know, the red leather, red and black.

[Steve Covino]

They had them at the store. And Michael Jackson was everything. And you could see why, based on the box office numbers. Right? And I remember this is one of my only moments I was crying because they wouldn't get it from me. I'm like, I want the jacket. Didn't get it. Never got it, man. But if you can get a sequence glove or that jacket back then, you were the coolest kid going.

[Rich Davis]

The funniest part is we do overcorrect with our kids now and buy them way too much. And our parents were great. I. I have no complaints from my childhood, but there were things my parents said no to. In fact, maybe I should take a note out of their book because I feel like too many times my wife and I are like, yeah, sure, they're only young once. Like, we'll go to like a. Let's say it's a pumpkin festival for Halloween. Do your kids really need like the $20 little glow light at like a carnival? Do they really need all that stuff? The junk?

[Steve Covino]

But if you could afford it, man. And they are young ones. Yeah, that's the constant battle. It's another conversation for another day.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say you bro.

[Steve Covino]

Let's say you take no just to say no. I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say you take your daughter to go see Frozen on Ice. Does she need the little elsa, you know, $30 spinny light when they're grown

[Steve Covino]

up and you're yearning for that time again. Is it really going to hurt you in the wallet when you look back and say, man, I know. I wish I didn't buy her that $6 thing.

[Danny G]

I have overcorrected so badly on toys. Koa has bins and Bo.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he's.

[Danny G]

He has so many toys. During the break, I'll show You guys, a picture just from the other day. He will empty out buckets and barrels of toys, this kid. It looks like we have a daycare center.

[Steve Covino]

But is he a good kid?

[Danny G]

He's a great kid.

[Steve Covino]

Well, that's. That's how I look at it, right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

If they're good kids and they're doing their part or whatever and they're getting good grades, it's like, what more do you want a kid to do? So Anyway, based on Mr.

[Danny G]

Potato Head, I still want my He man castle. Get it?

[Steve Covino]

Danny G. Danny, you can sell those

[Sam]

toys, too, by the way. Toys.

[Danny G]

Quick trivia for you guys, because as you said, this is the anniversary. 1952, the first TV commercial advertising toys. How much money do you think advertisers spend each year now advertising toys?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, good question. You know what? I wonder if it's as much as it was when we were kids growing up, because now. Now they just hit, like, social media.

[Danny G]

It's still a lot.

[Rich Davis]

It's got to be like, a year. How much?

[Steve Covino]

Billions and billions.

[Rich Davis]

Billions, But I bet you it's billions.

[Danny G]

This isn't just limited to tv. It's the advertising budgets for toys.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe a billion.

[Danny G]

I have $12 billion per year.

[Rich Davis]

How much you think the original Mr. Potato Head cost? It's in the OG commercial.

[Sam]

I'm gonna guess like a dollar 29.

[Rich Davis]

Wow. Courtesy of Hasbro. The original Mr. Potato Head. One dollar. One dollar. One dollar.

[Steve Covino]

I bet you most of us here didn't get. Even me, who was spoiled. We all wanted a Diamondback, a Mongoose, a GT performer. We wanted that sweet BMX bike, and we probably got a basic or generic one.

[Rich Davis]

Well, my story goes, you know, what am I. I wrote it down. I. We were at that transition age.

[Steve Covino]

I had a Columbia. I so badly wanted a Diamondback or something.

[Rich Davis]

You know, that transition. Transition age where you went from, I guess you would say, like some people call dirt bike or the small bike to a bigger bike, right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, we call them dirt bikes growing up, but they're BMX bikes.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, BMX bikes. Maybe the rich kid had the Mongoose or the GT performer. You might have had a huffy. Everyone started going from that to, like, getting a sweet mountain bike. And my parents bought me a 10 speed, like I was Lance Armstrong. And I remember being like, I want to ride my bicycle. And I remember, like, my dad. My dad still rolls his eyes when I tell that story, but he's like, oh, Richie, it was a good bike. Yeah, it was.

[Steve Covino]

But didn't you just have an intercom. And you're like,

[Danny G]

rich was the first kid with a water bottle. But Danny Jeep, he started the tread daddy.

[Rich Davis]

But picture all the boys in my neighborhood riding around on their. Like, they're mountain bikes. And I had a 10 speed with those thin tires.

[Steve Covino]

Like, probably wore speedos.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Or those bicycle pants. Bicycle, bike shorts. You know, you bring back so many funny memories telling that story, Rich. And we're gonna go to your phone calls now. 87799 on Fox. My buddy Barry also wanted the sweet mountain bike, and his parents bought him, like, you know, like, like a weak version, but it had the newspaper rack in the back. We made such fun of him, bro. You know what I'm talking about. Like, I think there was a basket in the front and a newspaper rack in the back. Like, that weird rack in the back of it.

[Sam]

You get older and you need that rack, though, because, like, you would.

[Steve Covino]

That's.

[Sam]

You didn't have a car yet. You need to transport stuff.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Sam]

Oh, I love the basket.

[Steve Covino]

We made fun of him so hard. And it goes back to the first hour because making fun of people is fun. You just don't want to take it too far.

[Rich Davis]

I have a question. Did everyone in this room. I, I, I doubt this is an east coast thing, but did everyone at least give their effort once to do some type of penny saver or paper route?

[Danny G]

Oh, dude, I had two paper routes.

[Rich Davis]

Did you do that?

[Dan Beyer]

I had to fill in on a paper route. It wasn't my own, but I was a sub if the other kid couldn't do it.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that was the thing. Going around the neighborhood, throwing it on their porch. Penny saver or whatever the local paper was. Yeah, that's a job that your kid today would look at you like you were, like, telling a lie.

[Steve Covino]

Like, I could picture DB Wanting, like, a specific sort of, like, starter jacket or something and not get it.

[Dan Beyer]

I hated it. I hated.

[Steve Covino]

Really?

[Dan Beyer]

I hated. Yeah, yeah. None of it. I would rather have nothing than work for my money. When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was play.

[Danny G]

That was it.

[Dan Beyer]

Honestly.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. So based on the potato head, what are some things that you, you always wanted but never got? 87799 on Fox.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you one more, and then we'll go rapid fire. Not so much a toy. Well, actually, two quick ones. Every time I watched a commercial for Sports Illustrated, I wanted that football phone. And I remember, again, much like, much like everything else your parents like. That's stupid. Everything that you like was stupid.

[Steve Covino]

Right?

[Danny G]

You know how easy that's gonna break Cheap.

[Sam]

Oh, your father will make that for you in the garage.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah, we got that at home. We have a football phone at home.

[Steve Covino]

And Si. Si did a great job of marketing those phones.

[Rich Davis]

Or anytime your team won a championship, which is rare, they would always come out with, like, those packs that, like, right away. That. And I wear contact lenses now. I wore glasses as a kid. Nowadays, kids wear glasses. No one makes fun of anyone. Glasses are like glasses and braces. Went from being nerds to like, oh, no big deal. My daughter has like a. An expander. Never one kid said anything to her. It's like, remember back in the day, you get made fun of for glasses or braces. That's a thing. Of the 80s nerds, I had the thickest glasses. In fact, if you wear contact lenses, you know what I'm about to say? I'm minus. I'm minus five in each eye. Meaning, like, if I took my contacts out now, I'd be like, danny, is that you? I wouldn't know if it was your eye with Sam.

[Steve Covino]

Really?

[Rich Davis]

My glasses.

[Danny G]

You would see Sam and say, what's up, Mary Mack?

[Rich Davis]

My. My glasses were so thick, but it cost a little extra money to get those thinner glasses.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And my parents are like, no, this is the one on our plan.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, these are just fine, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

These are the one on the plan.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, man.

[Rich Davis]

And I was like, how much more could it have been for the thinner glasses? I had coke bottle glass.

[Steve Covino]

Couldn't, couldn't and wouldn't splurge. That's the wild part.

[Sam]

For me, it wasn't so much toys. It was food items in the fridge. We were never allowed. We were only allowed to have skim milk. Never 2% or whole milk, which tastes way better. And we were never allowed to have, like, condiments like ranch. So when I'd go to a restaurant and I'd get to have ranch, now there's always ranch in my fridge, and my heart is probably clogged because of it.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

But when I was growing up deprived,

[Sam]

I was deprived of ranch and 2% milk.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that's a shit.

[Rich Davis]

You got me thinking so much. I'm sorry. This is such a relatable fun.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Not let you get good toothpaste.

[Rich Davis]

He got offended by this recently.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, Pepsidin is just fine. Yeah.

[Sam]

And brand. That's all you get.

[Rich Davis]

When I remember when I was a kid, for some reason, my mom, when. When she would do the supermarket run would never get me Capri Suns. When Capri Suns first came out, the idea of, it's not a juice box, it's a pouch.

[Steve Covino]

Is that why you wear Capri pants

[Rich Davis]

till this day, I remember being like, mom, quick, a Capri Suns. And we would always get like, sips.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, sips.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. And I remember being like, oh, Richie,

[Steve Covino]

I bought you some juice boxes.

[Rich Davis]

Juicy Juice.

[Sam]

How many of those could you crush in a row? Juicy Juice or Capri Sun?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, like three in a row by the sixer, bro. All right, so let's go to phones. Things that you. You just didn't get as a kid because it's Mr. Potato Head Day.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Cabeza de Papa. What's up? What do we got, Danny?

[Danny G]

Speaking of spuds, let's start in Idaho. It's Craig.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Craig? How are you, man?

[Caller]

How you doing, goofballs?

[Rich Davis]

What's up, man?

[Caller]

So, and your topic triggered me. So we're gonna go way back.

[Danny G]

Okay.

[Caller]

Way back.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Caller]

19. 1965.

[Rich Davis]

I was eight years old.

[Caller]

Thank you. Oh, my head. I'm busy. So all my friends had GI Joes. The original GI Joes.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And I was anticipating getting one for Christmas, and I wanted the frogman, but what did I get instead? A beautiful Triumph 3 speed bike. And I was devastated. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I thought you said you got G.I. jeff, like the generic one.

[Rich Davis]

He's just as cool.

[Steve Covino]

Does that happen a lot, too? That's when GI Joe was like the big GI Joe's, the fuzzy heads and everything. All right, who do we got next?

[Danny G]

Dan, let's travel to North Carolina. Anthony in the house.

[Rich Davis]

What's up?

[Caller]

1986, GI Joe, USS flag, aircraft carrier,

[Steve Covino]

that aircraft carrier, everything, man. That was a big deal if you had that. Yeah, every kid wanted that. That. I could see why a parent wouldn't want to buy that. That thing was big and they probably had to put it together. That's another thing that we didn't think about back then. Parents were like, yeah, I'm gonna have to put that together. And it's batteries. Yeah, we know. That's a night.

[Rich Davis]

I remember. Kavino's daughter is a teenager now. She's 16. I remember when your daughter was little. I remember you bought her an Elsa castle. Yeah, that didn't you tell me it took you like a week to put together.

[Steve Covino]

Took me forever. I remember that kitchen set we put together together.

[Rich Davis]

I do.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. So like, you know, as a parent, we didn't. We didn't think about that back then. But now you're like, yeah, I don't Know about that aircraft car.

[Sam]

All tedious, assembly required.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Steve Covino]

You know. You know what? We sucked at those kids putting the stickers on those things because we would. You would ruin it, right? If you had, like, a Millennium Falcon and you had to put the stickers on it, that's where you ruined it as a kid. So parents didn't want to buy that for you because you're going to ruin it anyway. All right, so back to the phones. Things you never got on a throwback Thursday, old school and 50 hits.

[Danny G]

All right. John in Maine.

[Steve Covino]

What up, John?

[Caller]

Hey, guys. My parents got married when they came out with Mr. And Mrs. Potato Head. So for their 60th wedding anniversary, my sisters got them all these elaborate gifts and stuff. And my wife and I gave my mom and dad the 60th wedding anniversary. Mr. And Mrs. Potato Head. And I think my dad peed himself, he was laughing so hard.

[Rich Davis]

You won. You won with a potato head. Your sister lost my sister.

[Caller]

My sisters were so pissed that they bought all these expensive and elaborate gifts, but my parents had everything.

[Rich Davis]

I love that story, man. Thank you, brother.

[Danny G]

That's awesome. Let's go to Las Vegas.

[Rich Davis]

Lv, what's up, lv?

[Danny G]

Lv, what's up?

[Caller]

Yeah. Love the show.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, man.

[Caller]

I. What I wanted, and this was back in the mid-80s, is back when Bruce Lee was big kung fu ninjas. I wanted nunchucks. Never got him.

[Rich Davis]

You thought you were.

[Steve Covino]

You thought.

[Rich Davis]

You thought you were Michelangelo.

[Steve Covino]

He nailed it. Every kid wanted nunchucks or Chinese stars or some sort of weapon. For sure. Based on, like, those Bruce Lee movies. But, yeah, absolutely. And your parents aren't gonna buy that for you.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say we'll take two more, and then we'll. Then we'll break. We'll come back, reminisce a little.

[Steve Covino]

Good.

[Rich Davis]

Go to Dan Buyer for an update. Who else we got?

[Danny G]

Danny G. Dave and Norcal.

[Rich Davis]

Phones are hot. What's up, Dave?

[Caller]

Hey, guys. How you doing?

[Rich Davis]

We're good, man. What's up?

[Caller]

So I got two things, if I may. I'm a Niner fan. Big Niner fan.

[Rich Davis]

Nice.

[Caller]

Like rich. Same generation. And there was one kid that had this. And all of us just thought it was amazing. And finally, I fulfilled my childhood dream. Last week, I went to a baseball card shop and I bought a Jerry Rice rookie card.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, that's awesome.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that's nice.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I was thinking about buying a Ben Rice rookie card because he's so hot right now.

[Rich Davis]

Benny.

[Steve Covino]

No relation, by the way. But you know, how much does that you back? Oh, we lost them.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I wonder.

[Caller]

It was like 150.

[Rich Davis]

That's nice to have. Yeah, that's good.

[Steve Covino]

That's really dope. Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of, like, cards that we always wanted. Never got. Maybe a piece of sporting equipment you always wanted. Never got. Everybody wanted the adjustable rim, and not everybody had it. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

As long as one kid in the neighborhood had it, you needed one, right?

[Steve Covino]

At least that's what your parents would tell you. Oh, why do you need one? Jerry down the street has one.

[Rich Davis]

Of course.

[Steve Covino]

So. All right, we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Thank you guys for playing along.

[Sports Announcer]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Studio lines blowing up. We'll take one more for right now. JP and okc.

[Rich Davis]

Jp.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. Long time. Many times.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, buddy.

[Caller]

Yeah, appreciate it. So there's a 13 year age gap from me and my younger sister. She got one of these. I still am pissed off about it to this day. I wanted one for so long, I asked for it. Birthday, Christmas, every time I wanted a Power Wheel, didn't get it. My little sister got the Barbie Jeep Power Wheel. When I was like, I don't know, 12. I was so pissed off because I never got one and she did.

[Steve Covino]

You know, dude, always wanted one, but I aged out.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Kavino, the Go Go, Power Wheel.

[Rich Davis]

Go Go. The couple year age difference between you and I is I just was able to get one. You remember the show Chips, Baker and Punch? The California Highway Patrol. I had the Chips Motorcycle.

[Steve Covino]

We should be Chips for Halloween, bro.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, yeah, Baker and Ponch, who knew?

[Steve Covino]

Ride a little Chip motorcycle.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe that's. Maybe that's subconsciously harrow. Maybe that's subconscious how we failed each other. I'm like, power Wheel.

[Steve Covino]

Power makes it go.

[Danny G]

They hated each other in real life.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, they did. They hated each other, Baker.

[Rich Davis]

And so do we, Ponch.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, so do we.

[Rich Davis]

But you know what?

[Steve Covino]

Ponch got Baker fired, so be careful.

[Rich Davis]

Punch and Baker. I say I had that one. But you're right, those power wheels, if you were younger, let's say you're in your 30s now, you definitely want one of those. Because that's when they were in there, those big five.

[Steve Covino]

Remember the kids on the street? I was too old for them, but they would have the Bigfoot ones. Oh, yeah, Bigfoot.

[Rich Davis]

Those are Power Wheel. All right, we got more. Covino and Rich, we'll take the rest of your feedback. Plus we'll get an update with DB Talk a little more NBA, maybe a little baseball. All next coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

Feel like there were things my family got up, by the way.

[Steve Covino]

Do you see that ever anymore?

[Rich Davis]

I have younger siblings.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And I feel like there were things they got after I was like old and I'm like, you know, I would have liked that.

[Sam]

Firstborn's always treated the worst, right.

[Rich Davis]

Like you could say they got. I got attention in other ways. Like my family got me braces.

[Steve Covino]

Right. But they, you had those leg ones like, like Rich taught Elvis how to dance.

[Rich Davis]

That's true. I taught Elvis how to dance. Like certain things, like they paid more attention to me. As the oldest. But then there's other things, like.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, Rich, thank you very much.

[Rich Davis]

Like my brother and sister. They didn't train Elvis, Sam, but they did have a pool. Like, my family got a pool when I was, like, old. I'm like, you got a pool?

[Steve Covino]

Now, see, I wasn't that spoiled. All I had was a Mr. Turtle Pool.

[Rich Davis]

But look, you had a willy Waterbug, Right?

[Steve Covino]

I did have a willy Waterbug. But I always say I. It's not that I was a spoiled little jerk. I was just the greatest kid ever.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Steve Covino]

I know. I know. You think I'm a jerk now.

[Danny G]

He was really a jerk.

[Steve Covino]

No, when I was a kid, I was, like, the best kid that ever was. So I feel like there's a reason. I just want people to understand that, you know?

[Rich Davis]

He really believes he was the greatest kid.

[Steve Covino]

I was. So the things you didn't get that you always wanted. We'll wrap it up. We got two more phone calls right there.

[Rich Davis]

Think about it. His parents got to go around town bragging that their son hit 27 Little League home runs.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, yeah, Little jerk.

[Danny G]

All right, let's go back to the studio lines. Anthony is in North Carolina.

[Rich Davis]

Yo, what's up, man?

[Caller]

I had to call back, and, well, I wasn't trying to rub it in on Danny G, but I still got my castle gray skull.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah. So do. I said it's rich. Yeah, it was great. Jerks. I mean, now it's. It's weak because they could have did so much with it because it's so cool. But you know what? They're probably going to put out a new one. The new movie comes out in June,

[Rich Davis]

and the original creator of he man passed away yesterday. Yeah, they announced it, so that sucks. Are you going to watch that he man movie, Summer? Yeah, it actually looks good. They've. They've tried to make he man movies that have all stunk, but this one that's coming out this summer looks sweet. Like, the Skeletor looks badass.

[Steve Covino]

Well, it's Jared Leto.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So. Yeah. Rest in peace. Roger Sweet, the creator of he man passed away at 91. Born in 1935. He passed away this week. And he passed away poor. Like, there's a gofundme for the dude. Like, how we can.

[Rich Davis]

I hate when someone created something that meant so much to us but didn't cash in. That's sort of a sad thought, right?

[Steve Covino]

All right, who else do we got?

[Danny G]

Let's wrap up Old School when 50 hits with Taylor in Illinois.

[Rich Davis]

What up, Taylor?

[Caller]

Hey, how's it going?

[Steve Covino]

What up?

[Caller]

I just wanted to say there's one thing. This probably isn't usual because there ain't many of us, but one thing I've always wanted as a kid that I never got because my. My mom was a Packer fan, but my dad was a Jets fan. And forever me and my dad were jets fans. And I've always wanted jets tickets. My mom would not let them buy it for us.

[Steve Covino]

So maybe they saved you from misery. They saved you from a lifetime of misery. Thank you for the call.

[Rich Davis]

We found them to wrap it up. The one guy that wants jets tickets.

[Steve Covino]

We found them guys to wrap it up. And before we get into show and tell, was there a piece of sporting equipment like a bat that you like, the clay bats, a tpx. Was there a piece of sporting equipment or a sporting toy that you always wanted and you never got because they got expensive.

[Rich Davis]

Know my, my family always was good to me. But I, I do remember there was a moment where he said the clay ceramic bats. Yeah, that's had had a moment. And I remember being like do I want one of these? But you know, nowadays, I'll be honest. If you're, if you're rocking the coaching world like I am, we all and I don't want to sound like the old guy. We shared helmets with our teammates, remember? You'd be like I hope the guy that wears the large isn't on base when I get up.

[Danny G]

Or like not just that, but we had hand me down equipment like the play it again. Sports was big out here on the west coast, Danny.

[Rich Davis]

We had a team helmets like one of each size that was handed down from the previous year and the previous year in the previous year. And they might have been two kids that had a big barrel Easton. There was like two sizes of the same rubber handle green looking Easton bat.

[Steve Covino]

Now was there the black magic.

[Rich Davis]

I'm coaching six year olds. They all have their little hype fires. They have the pen, the bat that looks like a pencil. They got the clout. The clout. They got all these bats.

[Steve Covino]

There was the Easton big barrel. I think was another one.

[Danny G]

So nowadays fancy travel team bags, bro.

[Rich Davis]

I got kids that don't even know how to slide and they have those sliding gloves. Is the sliding gloves from that company that has like the ice cream sundae looking designs and stuff. It. It's ridiculous. So it's a different world.

[Sam]

Same company that made the of glove.

[Steve Covino]

Really you guys even.

[Sam]

No, I'm kidding. You guys Know what I'm talking about?

[Rich Davis]

We talked about how the legendary Howie Rose, this is his last year he announced his retirement. Right. What a weak ass final year for him who's been such a great broadcaster. You. He probably thought, you know what? My final year since 87. Right, since 87. My final year. He's thinking, you know what, maybe it'll be a nice playoff run. Maybe the Mets will win 85 to 100 games. They got this new roster high payroll. Howie Rose is thinking, I still have five months of the worst team in baseball. What a weak ass last season.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it really is a weak farewell, Rich.

So join us live in about 13 minutes right here on the YouTube channel at Covinon. Rich, FSR something else we do every Thursday. Some show and tell, bro.

[Rich Davis]

Show and tell. You want to take a look, Rich,

[Danny G]

Grab something out of his trunk.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no.

[Rich Davis]

This is a very special item.

[Steve Covino]

You know what, Rich? Can you hand me over mine? I'll explain what it is.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah, I'll explain.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. If you don't mind handing it over to me. This is a really big moment. I'm happy and proud to share it. One of our listeners now friends, the host of the after show but later. We have an unofficial after show called the after show but later, hosted by Daniel Javier feats and Luis Cortez Jr. Daniel Javier feats, one of our listener pals, sent me this, and I brought this in today because we're heading into May.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And we're not going to be here next week for the big fiesta on Cinco de Mayo. So because Cinco de Mayo is next week, I wanted to bring you one of the greatest moments in Mexican history. It's called Edgar's Fall. And if you don't know about Edgar's fall, it's one of the most popular videos. And we're celebrating a 20th anniversary this year of Edgar's legendary fall. And he might be the Most popular number 83 of all time is what? Andre Reed, Wes Welker, and Edgar. And this is the classic moment where his. His little brother, or his older brother, I assume, instead of helping him across the bridge, harasses him and he falls into the water. And every vatoloco in the barrio knows exactly what happens next. There it is.

[Rich Davis]

Yahweh.

[Steve Covino]

So Edgar's Fall. I have the painting.

[Rich Davis]

Someone made you a painting.

[Steve Covino]

I have the painting of Edgar's fall.

[Danny G]

That's very cool.

[Steve Covino]

And I brought it in on this day for show and tell. It's one of my prized possessions. Vatos Locos forever. Enjoy the fiesta.

[Rich Davis]

If you don't know that clip, go to our Instagram story. We'll post it there right after the show and right during over Promise. But it is a legendary clip.

[Steve Covino]

It sits proudly in our podcast studio Covino and Rich on Patreon. I bring it here to Fox Sports.

[Danny G]

Oh, look at that. Spotty is showing it on the YouTube channel right now.

[Steve Covino]

Yep. Yep. And, Rich, what'd you bring in today?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I brought in Something very near and dear to me. This is my Vin Scully bobblehead. Being that, you know, I love broadcasting.

[Steve Covino]

Vin Scully bobblehead. What year did they give that away?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, it was July 25, 2013. I was there at Dodger Stadium.

[Steve Covino]

I want to call BS because in 2013, you and I were working on SNY in New York City.

[Rich Davis]

No, no. See, but I was.

[Steve Covino]

No, hold on.

[Rich Davis]

2013. It was July 25th. What a heck of a night against the Reds.

[Steve Covino]

You don't even like bobbleheads, bro.

[Rich Davis]

No, but this. You took that from Mike's office.

[Dan Beyer]

Hold on.

[Steve Covino]

Wait a minute. Is that Dan Byers?

[Rich Davis]

This is my. My Vin Scully bobblehead.

[Steve Covino]

He gets another F. Danny G. An F for the day.

[Rich Davis]

Not. It says right here, it's time for Dodgers baseball.

[Steve Covino]

It's time for Dodger baseball.

[Rich Davis]

You know me, I'm a huge Dodgers fan. Vin Scully.

[Danny G]

Guys know when we get back from 2013, when we get back from vacation two Thursdays from now, I'm really gonna pin a note on your shirt on the Wednesday show so your wife sees it.

[Steve Covino]

There should be a punishment, like in school, where your name would go on the board if you failed a project or you. There's gotta be something. Like.

[Rich Davis]

But guys, it's like, you know what?

[Danny G]

This is legit. Three weeks in a row.

[Steve Covino]

Back in the day, Danny G. We used to give something called nut balls, and we would drop a baseball on his package. You know, you get. We all get a nut ball. Like, you have to drop it because there's gotta be a punishment.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, because of my Vin Scully bobblehead.

[Steve Covino]

No, I'm not buying that. It's a great bobblehead.

[Rich Davis]

2013, I was there at the stadium. You don't even like bobblehead. Matt Kemp was playing or something.

[Dan Beyer]

By the way, I'm gonna give a

[Danny G]

CNR prize pack out to our YouTube chat yeeters at New York Jeters. He says he was commenting on our old school topic. He says, grew up in New Jersey. I had the GT Dino Blast show off.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, he had the dyno. This kid was bald.

[Danny G]

My brother had the 96 baby blue GT performer with mag wheels.

[Steve Covino]

They were so cool.

[Danny G]

It got stolen when we to Sturgis, South Dakota. But we caught the kids days later because it stuck out.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And you know, if you had pegs back then, you were like the coolest kid going, so thanks.

[Danny G]

By the way, Ny Jeters. Email me. It is crprisesmail.com that's crprizesmail.com and by

[Steve Covino]

the way, if you're not watching, definitely watch later at Covino and Rich. Fsr. Rich clearly stole a bobblehead from somebody's office here at Fox Sports. Oh, no.

[Rich Davis]

Vin Scully's my guy.

[Steve Covino]

He's such a Cohen guy and such a Mets fan. Way he even has that bobblehead. So, anyway, nice try, buddy boy. And to wrap up our previous discussion, I kind of think, like, we already talked about how you don't want to take things too far. And we all know that Phillies fans are the toughest or Philadelphia fans are the roughest. The roughest. If the Phillies show up at a Flyers game and they throw them on the big screen and they get booed, I kind of think that's warranted when. And they're just as bad as your mets, Rich. They're 11 and 19, and they're three and seven in their last 10.

[Danny G]

They were sitting there with their wives and girlfriends. It's embarrassing.

[Steve Covino]

What do you expect when they stink so bad right now?

[Rich Davis]

Don't boo your hometown.

[Steve Covino]

Really, I don't. I kind of under. Like. There's nothing wrong with booing. It's. It's when you say other things, that's when it gets too far.

[Rich Davis]

Donnie. Well, Donnie Baseball's in charge now. You should be. You should be thinking they're about to turn it around.

[Steve Covino]

I'm rooting for Donnie Baseball. But, you know, it proves the point. If you want to talk about the roughest city to play in, this just proves that whether you're a Philly, a Flyer, an Eagle, it's Philadelphia.

[Sam]

76er.

[Steve Covino]

76 Eagles. It's Philadelphia, man. They, they, they have the title.

[Rich Davis]

The Eagles booed Donovan McNabb when he got drafted. The guy's, you know, the guy's one of the best quarterbacks of that generation. They booed him.

[Steve Covino]

And it's not like high expectations. Of course, they have that. You know, New York has that la.

[Geico Ad Voice]

Every.

[Steve Covino]

Everybody wants to win. It's. It's how they react.

[Danny G]

I don't. I know recently Stu Gotts picked Philly as one of the most tortured fan bases. And they have won some Super Bowls recently.

[Rich Davis]

They've won Super Bowls, but they're still not happy. They won a World series in the 21st century. They've been to a couple, like, being angry.

[Steve Covino]

That's why. You know, why. It's cold on the East Coast.

[Rich Davis]

Let me tell you, growing up, there's a lot of lead in the water. Growing up in New York, yeah, New York's a tough place to play. Boston, they got some Wise and Heimers up there there. Philadelphia by far the roughest most well first of all, you could say two things. Probably the most supportive amazing fan base when they're doing well, but then if they struggle, it's tough. Philly is rough. Shout out to our affiliate in Philadelphia. I when I would go to a Mets Phillies game, I'd put my jersey on once I got closer to the stadium because I feel like if they saw me coming out of my car with a Mets jersey, they'd key my car. They're maniacs.

[Steve Covino]

I didn't expect them to cheer. Put it that way. All right, we got over promise next. So join us live.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Steve Covino]

Or even dare you baby. See you in the over promised land.

[Rich Davis]

presents a 30 second podcast between your podcast Today's story is shared by one of our listeners. It's called Betrayed by Bill. It was in that moment I caught who was staring back at me in betrayal or more like what, my insurance bill. With trembling hands, I grabbed my phone and switched to Geico, saving about $900 in the process and never to be betrayed again. Now that was bloody riveting.

[American Express Ad Voice]
