CRAZY Cost of Watching NFL & Back To School Memories | Ep #104

Summary

Below is a detailed, section-by-section summary of “CRAZY Cost of Watching NFL & Back To School Memories | Ep #104” from The Dan Patrick Show, released on August 15, 2025. This episode weaves together humorous banter, nostalgic recollections, and ruminations on sports culture—from fictional moves in movies to the modern costs of streaming NFL games—as the hosts reminisce about back-to-school memories and share candid conversation with plenty of playful jabs and memorable quotes. While various ad spots for other iHeart podcasts appear throughout, the main content centers around three core topics: quirky sports movie moves, the high price tag to catch every NFL game, and nostalgic school-day traditions.

──────────────────────────

1. Episode Overview
   ────────────────────────── • The hosts (referred to by initials such as B, C, D, and H) kick off with humorous observations—starting with TSA rule confusion—and then segue into a series of lively topics.
   • They mix current sports streaming issues (costs and subscription puzzles) with fun throwbacks to childhood school experiences.
   • Several pre-recorded ad segments for other iHeart podcasts (like Fut around and find out, Pretty Private, and Back 40) are interwoven but remain separate from the main conversation.

────────────────────────── 2. Opening Banter and Introductions (00:00–00:34)
────────────────────────── • A playful start with a TSA rules joke (“Why are TSA rules so confusing?” followed by “You got a hoodie on. Take it all.”) sets the irreverent tone.
• The hosts introduce themselves: Manny, Noah, and Devin, clarifying that their show “no Such Thing” digs into oddball questions.
• A brief reminder is given about where to listen the podcast (iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, etc.).

────────────────────────── 3. Fictional Sports Moves and Pop Culture References (Approximately 05:22–08:48)
────────────────────────── • Discussion shifts to the best “fictional moves in sports” as recalled from movies and cartoons.
 – The conversation highlights legendary moves such as the Triple Lindy, the Flying V from hockey (referencing The Mighty Ducks), and the iconic crane kick from The Karate Kid.
• Notable exchanges include:
 – [06:04] C notes, “I think every kid saw Karate Kid and went into the kitchen trying that crane kick…”
 – [07:08] D humorously recalls a move from Happy Gilmore with “...it’s not about the shoe in his ass,” riffing on absurd film logic.
 – D jokes about arm-wrestling theatrics with over-the-top moves that many attempted at school lunchroom tables.
• The banter mixes nostalgic memory with humorous exaggeration, giving listeners a playful look back at movie moments that defined many childhoods.

────────────────────────── 4. The Cost of Watching NFL and Streaming Services Debate (Approximately 09:16–14:18)
────────────────────────── • The conversation pivots to modern sports consumption—with a focus on the high costs of accessing every NFL game.
• Key points include:
 – A viral meme claiming fans must spend over $1,000 a year on streaming services versus D’s counterargument that, for many, it might only add up to around $480 if you already subscribe to ESPN, Disney+, or Amazon Prime.
 – [09:30] C remarks on the complexity: “...if you want to watch every game, you have to have all of these streaming services.”
 – D emphasizes, “I speak on behalf of the everyman,” challenging the “misleading stat” for those who already have some subscriptions.
• Their debate humorously reflects on the fragmentation of sports broadcasting, noting that while lifelong fans may already have subscriptions, the actual cost discrepancies can be confusing and sometimes “bullshit.”

────────────────────────── 5. Back-to-School Memories and Nostalgia (Approximately 20:09–27:33)
────────────────────────── • The tone turns nostalgic as the hosts share vivid memories of going back to school.
• Topics, memories, and playful banter include:
 – Reminiscing about textbooks wrapped in shopping bags, drawing team or band logos, and doodling names alongside hearts.
 – Detailed recollections of classic school supplies such as the famous Bic 4-color pen (green, blue, black, and red), mechanical “needle” pencils, leg warmers, and even trapper keepers.
 – [25:04] C proclaims the trapper keeper as “one of the coolest items of our back to school days” and even shares a personal memory of sporting a matching backpack with a friend.
 – D and C laugh about how these products shaped their school days—from mechanical pencils that “clicked out” useless lead to scratch-and-sniff stickers that instantly brought back the aroma and joy of childhood rewards.
• These memories serve as a cultural time capsule, connecting the ridiculousness of modern streaming woes with simpler, yet fond, school-day traditions.

────────────────────────── 6. Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments
────────────────────────── • [00:23] C: “I deserve it, you know?” – a humorous acknowledgment during the initial banter.
• [06:35] D on the crane kick: “Technically. Why Daniel LaRussa never really won.” – mixing sports trivia with film references.
• [10:12] D succinctly states, “I speak on behalf of the everyman,” in the debate over NFL streaming costs, encapsulating the everyday fan’s dilemma. • [27:33] C highlights the emotional power of nostalgia: “All those great memories, Rich, especially this right here,” referring to scratch-and-sniff stickers—even playful interjections by H provoke chuckles.

────────────────────────── 7. Integrated Advertisement and Cross-Promotional Segments
────────────────────────── • Throughout the episode, several ad spots are interleaved:
 – Az Fudd promoting his podcast “Fut around and find out” (starting at [00:34] and recurring later).
 – John Lithgow introducing his fiction podcast “One Small Step for Man” (multiple appearances include [01:05], [18:51], and [29:14]).
 – Ebony’s “Pretty Private” podcast is introduced in a separate segment ([01:36]).
 – Jake Hofer’s “Back 40” show is also featured (starting at [02:04]).
• These interwoven advertisements add to the episode’s dynamic and illustrate the breadth of content available across the iHeartPodcasts network.

────────────────────────── 8. Episode Wrap-Up and Final Remarks
────────────────────────── • The episode closes with final jabs and reminders interlaced with callbacks to initial banter (such as the TSA comment repeated at [28:14]).
• The hosts encourage listeners to check out not only “no Such Thing” but also to subscribe to their various YouTube channels and streaming platforms for more laughs and insights. • There’s a final mix of sports predictions (a nod to upcoming NFL matchups such as Cowboys vs. Eagles and references to the Chiefs game) blended with more humorous asides about back-to-school and childhood.

────────────────────────── Conclusion
────────────────────────── This episode of The Dan Patrick Show (Episode #104) expertly combines witty social commentary, pop-culture nostalgia, and heated debates over modern sports viewing expenses. By oscillating between fond memories of school days and the complexities of today’s streaming world, the hosts create an engaging, multi-faceted narrative. Listeners are provided a healthy dose of humor, personal reminiscences, and insightful commentary on how past and present collide in unexpected ways.

I'm Jake Hofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?

[D]

Should you? That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

[G]

Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

[C]

Yeah, do it. Rock Capella. Covino and Rich over promised our bonus pod. We are the world famous Steve Covino and Rich Davis Spotty producing the bonus show, the bonus pod. Normally Monday through Friday five to seven on the east, two to four out here on the west side. Covino and Rich. Just search Covino and Rich where every stream your podcast. This week however, action packed. Busy week filling in for the Dan Patrick show. So if you missed any of that, got to catch the podcast and the big reminder, it's the new YouTube channel.

[C]

Do it right there.

[D]

Come on.

[C]

Now this show is all the stuff we couldn't fit into the action packed shows this week. And we're gonna have a lot of fun, a lot of back to school stuff and back to school some NFL. The price to watch NFL this year, back to school more than ever. So we'll get you fired up for football 20 days away because it's Friday today, August 15th. But whenever you're watching, I hope you have a great one.

[D]

Speaking of back to school, who's your favorite principal? Is it Strickland Building or Mr. Anderson.

[C]

The guy from Beavis and Butthead. What's his name? Mr. McVicker or whatever his name is.

[D]

Yeah, but Principal Anderson in Billy Madison, remember? P.S. i'm horny.

[C]

I thought you were a Belding guy.

[D]

Then again, Rod Belding.

[C]

Actually he's a balding guy, so I don't know. I never had that close bond with my principal like you did, Mr. Dolan. Rick thinks he is Zack Morris in real life. So it's the poor man's Zack and Slater or over promise begins. And speaking of back to school this week, school began out here on the west side. Now I agree it feels way early, right? It's August 15th. Kids start a school already. That's how it is in Los Angeles. Growing up on the east coast. Yeah, we didn't start until September.

[D]

Yeah, after Labor Day. The sort of the rule. But hey, they start early. And you keep making like back to school references. My back to school references are always Billy Madison.

[C]

Oh, back to school.

[D]

And Ms. Lippy. And you know, you know my finger.

[C]

Around this time of year I always throw out some sort of Thornton Mellon reference. Yo, back to school. Like Thornton Mellon dude and the triple Lindy. And every time I say that, I feel like it goes on deaf ears because Rich has no idea what the famous Triple Lindy was when Thornton Mellon, AKA Rodney Dangerfield, went back to school. So that was his, like, real famous dive that he had, and he was a legend because of it. And he does it again when he goes back to school in college.

[D]

That's ridiculous.

[C]

The Triple Lindy, he was famous for it. So he pulls it out in the movie Back to School.

[D]

Are you telling me that's the best fictional move of all time?

[C]

So that got us thinking. What are some of the best fictional moves in sports? Like in goofy sport movies. What are the best fictional moves?

[D]

I know. The queen threw a hell of a curveball. A naked gun. Yeah. I don't think we should put her on the list.

[C]

No, no, no.

[D]

I was thinking more along the lines of a movie that you've never seen because you're an idiot. The Mighty Ducks never saw Back to School. And you Mighty Ducks a way bigger movie, the Flying V. The Flying V. That is. I mean, has anyone really executed that in real hockey?

[C]

No, but I've heard of it. Right? So I've heard of it from the movie. I know the reference. So that's a good one. I guess. The Flying V was unstoppable.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Right. And that makes me think of one of my favorite sporting moves and movies. I think every kid saw a Karate Kid and went into the kitchen, went into the living room, tried to do a crane kick, which was always interesting because they say in the All Valley tournament, no kicks to the face. Like anything to the face was illegal in the tournament.

[D]

Technically. Why Daniel LaRussa never really won.

[C]

Right. In my mind, the Crane kick, though, the unstoppable crane kick is another fictional sports move that I think is legendary up there with the Triple Lindy and.

[D]

The Flying V. Let me give you one more. When it comes to great fictional moves.

[C]

I have a few more.

[D]

We just got done watching Happy Gilmore 2. How could you not think of when they. Hold on. I wrote this down. When they would adjust the heliolumbar and the ligament surgery so that Haley Joel Osmond could go back even a little further.

[C]

That's because he had a shoe up his ass. Right. So they had to do the same. Forget about the shoe.

[D]

As they said in the movie, it's not about the shoe in his ass.

[C]

Well, you could say Haley Jel Osmond's move. Or you could say Happy Gilmore's ridiculous swing. Right. Both are legendary in movies. In fictional sports. So the Happy Gilmore ligament swing. I don't know what you want to call it. How about Our guy here, Stallone, not even in Rocky. Absolutely. Yo, what about my movement over the top? Absolutely. It was like. It was the hat turnaround, but then the whole wrist thing that he did.

[D]

By the way, Colin Cowherd hated the first part of that move, the backwards hat.

[C]

Oh, yeah. That's why he didn't watch the movie.

[D]

But I always thought it was wild as a kid. I remember even as a little boy, I think I was smart enough to realize this is the stupidest movie ever. Deadbeat truck driving dad who tries to win his son back through arm wrestling. And the funniest part is Stallone would encounter these big beast of men.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And the way he would beat him in an arm wrestle was simply he did this move with the like. Like this over the top move, the.

[C]

Wrist over the top, and then you got to turn your head backwards. Absolutely.

[D]

And Rich, you know for a fact, though, at the lunchroom table, every guy at least one time tried the over the top win. You know when you would arm wrestle your buddies.

[C]

Now, that was in no particular order. Which stand out to you because we can go on all day if you incorporate WWE moves or cartoons and Popeyes. Twister punch and like, there's a million things. Yeah.

[H]

Guys gonna arm wrestle?

[C]

No.

[H]

Hell, I think that'd be great.

[C]

Yeah. I'm glad you. I'm not trying to pull some ligament.

[H]

Through for the show.

[C]

No.

[D]

You think I want to pull a lumbar?

[C]

Yeah. I'm wrestle Rich if you want to do it so bad.

[H]

Got a bad rotator.

[C]

So if there's anything else that comes to mind, we're gonna putting wrestle actually later on if you want to watch.

[D]

That's on the. That's on the new YouTube.

[C]

Yeah, man. We're trying to get views. We're doing that this weekend, but if you have any other ones, hit us up at Covino and Rich.

[H]

Oh, there it is.

[C]

And of course, at Fox Sports Radio, hashtag over. Promised your best fictional moves in sports.

[D]

Now, there's a meme that's floating around. Yeah, it's not the meme of how Clayton Kershaw is awesome and how he's faced both Vladimir Guerreros, which, by the way, props to.

[C]

I was really impressed.

[D]

Kershaw, by the way, Kershaw night tonight at Dodger Stadium. One of the big rivalries in baseball this weekend. Padres, Doyers and Clayton Carshaw. Gonna see if he's got the goodies to break even now with the Padres.

[C]

Well, it's a testament to his longevity and his awesome career. Pretty Cool.

[D]

But that's not the meme.

[C]

I'm thinking. Not the meme. It's the cost of NFL. I think it's a bullshit entire season.

[D]

But it's a bullshit meme again.

[C]

We're 20 days away, so you got to start planning ahead. 20 days away from the Cowboys at the Eagles, but to watch the entire NFL season, It's going to cost fans over $1,000 a year. Yeah, I get it. It's a little misleading, but it doesn't mean it's not true.

[D]

No, it's bullshit.

[C]

It's not. Because if you want to watch every game, you have to have all of these streaming services, which add up to over $1,000 a year.

[D]

Know what I say to that? And I'll tell you why. The answer is simply $480, not over a thousand. Because when you look at this little breakdown, espn, Disney plus, you got kids, you watch sports, you already pay for that. Amazon Prime. What your wife does not get.

[C]

Not everybody has it for kids and cartoons. Just because you do doesn't mean everybody does. That's what I'm saying. It's misleading, but it doesn't make it not true, because that is true.

[D]

I speak on behalf of the everyman.

[C]

In this case, the weenie man.

[D]

Espn, Disney, you got that shit already about. Throw the list up one more time.

[C]

Not everybody does.

[D]

Let me explain. Most people have Disney. Amazon Prime. Do you not get packages?

[C]

Most people.

[D]

Do you not get packages to your door?

[C]

Most people.

[D]

Am I talking to Hobo Williams or am I talking to a grown man with funds?

[C]

Hot air. I saw a stat today said one in three people have tattoos. One in three people don't have Disney. I guarantee it.

[H]

I don't have. I don't have Disney.

[C]

Yeah, so what are you talking about? So just because you do doesn't mean everybody does. And I get that.

[D]

I'm not talking to broke bitches, because.

[C]

I know what he's saying. Rich is saying that there's a great chance you have some of these already for other reasons. I get that, but it doesn't make it not true. If you want to watch every game, you need all of these streaming services.

[D]

If with the theory of this list that we should put on this, you have to pay for Internet, and you're like, I already pay for Internet. Like, it's. It's a. It's a misleading stat. Most people have ESPN or Disney. Most people have Amazon because you get packages to your door, Right? Who doesn't have Amazon prime in 2020?

[C]

At the moment, I really don't.

[D]

You don't have Prime?

[C]

Not at the moment, I don't.

[D]

You don't have prime?

[C]

Your wife. Your wife.

[D]

Your girlfriend pays for packages?

[C]

No. She has it and then doesn't. She does and doesn't. Right now. I don't. I don't have.

[D]

That's impossible.

[C]

You have not impossible, because not everyone is you. I don't.

[H]

I thought it was annual.

[D]

It was annual. Don't have Prime. That's a lie.

[C]

How much you want to put. You won't put how much you want put on it that I don't have Amazon prime right now. Thousand dollars. Put a thousand bucks on it.

[D]

Why would you not have Amazon Prime?

[C]

I'll let you call her up right now and ask, why would you not have Amazon Prime? Because it ended and she just hasn't renewed it. So I don't have it right now. That's all.

[D]

Peacock.

[C]

I have someone's password.

[D]

I think I have Dan Patrick Caramel Plus.

[C]

No.

[D]

You watch Dexter Fox. Yes.

[C]

I don't have any Netflix.

[D]

Yes. The only thing you need to get additionally is NFL Sunday Ticket, which is almost 500 bucks. But to say it cost $1,100 is bullshit. It's a silly stat for silly idiots.

[C]

Okay, so is it misleading? I get what Rich is saying.

[D]

Like, Danny G. Was like, man, you see how much it costs? I'm like, you have all these things, doofus.

[C]

Yeah, but it's still true. Like I'm saying, however, what I find to be most annoying about it is that it's ridiculous how the NFL just spread out everywhere. Spread out like your butt cheeks in the early 2000s.

[D]

Get out of here.

[C]

And I find the games just annoying to find. I hate that. I hate that about baseball. But again, I don't want to scream at the clouds like the old guy.

[D]

Hold on. Lower your head a little bit. You look like you got a mini Fred Durst hat on it.

[C]

Just. Yeah, chocolate, starfish, hot dog, flavored water.

[H]

It was Fred Durst night at Yankee Stadium. And you got a little ice cream.

[C]

I got a little tiny ice cream.

[H]

And a Fred Durst cup.

[C]

That's just my sweet shirt. So I just think it's ridiculous how it's just everywhere and annoying to find for old people. Not for me. On behalf of guys like your dad, Rich, who are lifelong NFL fans and like, oh, man, prime. And, oh, Paramount plus. And, oh, what's the password for Peacock? Oh, that's unfortunate for the older fan. And guess what? That's who helped build up the NFL Your dad's been a lifelong fan, and he can't even find the freaking game. So it's a little misleading, but it's still true. To watch the entire season, you need all of those streaming services. Yeah, you might have some of those already, like Rich said, but that's the meme that's gone viral.

[D]

So if you want to watch every single game and you need every single provider.

[C]

Right.

[D]

There's free games on every week. Monday Night Football is on ABC and espn. Thursday Night Football again, Amazon Prime. I don't know a human, other than you, apparently, that doesn't have prime. When it's like $99 a month and you get free packages sent in, all these little perks.

[H]

And by the way, there's a sentiment, though. If you're, like, you're. If you're a baseball fan, you're generally following your own team up until the playoffs. Yeah, I feel like for NFL. NFL fans watch every game. Almost every game.

[C]

Yeah, it's true.

[H]

So if you want to see almost every game, you're gonna have to pony up.

[C]

Pony up. And if you're just listening to the podcast and you're not seeing the meme, because you could listen, just listen to Over Promise. But we suggest you watch on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. It's $1,171.64. So over a thousand dollars a year. And of course, we talked about this last year, but the prices keep going up and up and up, and that's what people are talking about again. But on the positive, 20 days away from today. Friday, August 15th. 20 days away. Life changes.

[D]

Thursday. 20 days away.

[C]

20 days. I'm sorry. 20 days away. Thursday. Enjoy it. Boo. Bang.

[D]

Oh, you thinking of the Friday game in Brazil? No, I'm thinking that's the Chiefs, and that's the Chiefs game.

[C]

Don't look at that game, too. But again, it's Cowboys, Eagles.

[H]

You guys would be thinking about the dudes in Brazil rather than the no cheeks in Brazil.

[C]

One day. I'll get to Brazil. One day.

[D]

One day. One day, guys.

[C]

So, anyway, enjoy the football season, but enjoy some great baseball in the meantime. And of course, UFC 319 tonight.

[B]

But imagine that you're on an airplane, and all of a sudden you hear this.

[A]

Attention, passengers. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[B]

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.

[D]

And they're saying, like, okay, pull this until this.

[B]

Pull that. Turn this. It's just. I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.

[C]

I'm Noah. This is Devin.

[B]

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.

[C]

Those who lack expertise lack the expertise. They need to recognize that they lack expertise.

[B]

And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run, right? I'm looking at this thing.

[C]

See?

[B]

Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up, a shoe with.

[C]

Some bones in it.

[B]

They had no idea who it was.

[H]

Most everything was burned up pretty good.

[G]

From the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

[I]

These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA using new scientific tools. They're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it.

[F]

He never thought he was going to get caught.

[C]

And I just looked at my computer screen.

[H]

I was just like, ah, gotcha.

[I]

Columbia. That brings us back to school again. So two reminders. I hope the kiddos have a great school year again. The kids out here on the west side started this week. My daughter Melody is a sophomore high school cheerleader. Now Ben and Emmy Rich's kids are in grade school. They're all excited about it.

[D]

My son has already reading homework over the weekend. He has to read the puppy who lost his.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. And that becomes your homework. And that's a great story, by the way. What is that?

[D]

More of that. You go out there and find that fucking dog.

[C]

Go out there, find that dog. So again, enjoy the school year. And if your kids haven't started school yet, hey, enjoy the summer weekends while you can.

[D]

Might be your last one, but we.

[C]

Flash it back on. Overpromised our bonus pod to when we were going back to school as little schoolboys waiting at the bus stop, which was sucking on a lollipop. So back to school. This year, kids are all about Disney and Marvel. No surprise. But more than ever, more than ever, kiddos are buying all sorts of Disney and Marvel backpacks and lunch boxes and pencil cases and all that nonsense. But when we were kids, what stands out to you? My first memory going back to school was having mom cover all of our textbooks with the shopping bags. Do you remember that? Is that still a thing I don't think so. Are textbooks still a thing?

[D]

My kids are 8 and 5. My kids.

[C]

If my daughter came home and said, dad, can you cover my books with shopping bags? I tell her to beat it. Scramble. I'm a ding Dong.

[D]

But I mean, in my mind, I never. It never dawned on me because my kids are in third grade now, in kindergarten. I assumed that it was just going to end up happening. But do kids not get books anymore? Is it all, like, online?

[C]

No, my daughter has a lot of books, but they don't cover them. And by the way, such a mom thing, because. Did your dad ever once help you cover a book?

[D]

Seriously, I bet you my dad has no memory of this because he didn't do it. Like, oh, cover textbooks. I have no clue.

[C]

Thanks moms out there who helped us with this nonsense.

[D]

Didn't do any of this shit.

[C]

And then you would draw your favorite team logos and band logos. Little NY for the Yankees, a little Twisted Sister, a little Van Halen.

[D]

That's where you'd write your name and your girlfriend's name with a little heart.

[C]

There you go. Yeah, I got.

[D]

I got one. That.

[H]

And that s. With the three lines.

[C]

I know what. The smile thing. Yeah.

[H]

With.

[C]

What is it?

[H]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't know why that was such a big deal. Yeah. Thing.

[D]

When I was. When I was a kid, I used to rock these things. And I'm sure they still exist. I'm sure.

[C]

Leg warmers. What?

[D]

Z. Cavarigis?

[C]

Zoo pants.

[H]

Oh, you know, Olivia Newton John phase you went through.

[C]

Yeah. When you rock.

[D]

I was. Those pens where it was a 4, 4 color pen and you would click the top of it.

[C]

It's the big four color.

[D]

Yeah, the big four color. I guarantee. Send them, sell them. But I wonder if kids even give a shit. Those are like.

[C]

I got my daughter, like a pastel version of that. She uses it all the time. But those are cool. What's interesting, and I think universal. I think it's universal that every kid tried to push all four down at the same time, thinking that you were gonna get it.

[D]

Nothing.

[C]

Or how about unscrewing the blue part and looking in it? And it was like it looked like a little reflection of all these little holes. But there's only one hole in there. Whoa. But the Bic 4 color pen. Green, blue, black and red. A classic, a legendary pen. And of course, you had to buy your pencils.

[D]

I never had these. I think I would take them from, like, a friend. Like, my parents always bought me the standard number two pencil.

[C]

Well, you needed standard number two for your scantrons and for pencil fighting. But how about the. Well, you. Rich calls them needle pens because he's a bozo. They were mechanical lead pencils. Yeah, that's what they're called.

[D]

But I feel like every kid did the same thing. You would press it out until the lead was all the way out almost. And you would pretend to give yourself a needle. True, every kid.

[C]

But they're not called needle pencils.

[D]

Needle pencils.

[C]

They're mechanical pencils, but they're kind of annoying. My daughter actually likes these too, Rich. But you always had to have that little lead on standby. It was kind of weak, and it would always break on you.

[D]

I don't think I ever really refilled it. I think I just, out of boredom and probably undiagnosed adhd, would keep clicking it. Giving myself a fake needle. Clicking it, giving yourself a needle. That was what you did with these things.

[C]

Now, I'm not saying 80s kids were the inventors of lunchboxes. They've been around forever. But when it kicked in with that thermos. Remember those plastic ones with.

[D]

Did you use the thermos?

[C]

I did. Yeah, absolutely did. Getting your Transformers Thundercats he man lunchbox. That's just how it was back in the day. You had to have that bad boy. That little top of the thermos was the little cup for your soup or whatever you were drinking.

[D]

Looking. I don't know if I know anyone that used the thermos, though.

[C]

I mean, you're looking at a guy right next to you.

[H]

I use the thermos again.

[C]

This guy thinks because he didn't. The rest of the world didn't. I did all the time. Put my tang in there, bro. My nestle quick. So the lunchbox. But I think the be all end all. This was in no particular order again, but the number one answer of back to school items for us when we were kids. They're still around, but they haven't really boomed the way they did when we were kids.

[D]

They're not bringing the boom.

[C]

I think it's bound to bring the boom again is the trapper keeper. Dude.

[D]

I almost feel like it made a comeback a couple years ago.

[C]

It's gonna come back in a big way. The trapper. See, that's mine right there. When I was a pumpkin pie haircutted kid with my backpack.

[H]

This is the same one you had.

[C]

That's. I had that one. I had a few of them. I had one that said rock and roll, too. Video rock.

[D]

You're such a rockin guy.

[C]

But you got that picture of me in sixth grade on my first day. There's a picture of me and my buddy Gus. I found we're wearing like the same.

[D]

Shirt and we should picture that kid with a video rock.

[C]

Just Trapper keeper snow in the back of that backpack right there. I had that video rock.

[D]

Do you and your friend have a matching shirt?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Why you guys buy those?

[C]

It was a 2 for 1 deal at Caldor for sure.

[H]

This is where it all began.

[C]

Yeah, man.

[H]

Life of a rock star.

[C]

It's me and my buddy Gus. So yeah, that trapper keeper, a young Manny Pacquiao. That's me. Young Manny Pacquiao. So the Trapper keeper, I think was one of the coolest items of our back to school days when we were growing up. And like I said before, school is stressful, kids are mean. School is also a lot of fun. And that's what I wish for your kids. I hope they all have a great school year.

[D]

Well, can I bring you back with one more bonus?

[C]

Yeah, please.

[D]

I feel like I'm going to show you a picture of something.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And I feel like I'm going to open up your nasal memory.

[C]

Oh, so you're going to unlock a memory here.

[D]

Okay, I'm going to unlock your nose.

[C]

Follow your nose.

[D]

The scratch and sniff stickers, when you just look at them, you're like, oh my God, I remember those exact corny cartoon ones.

[C]

Like teachers had to have those on standby.

[D]

I mean, the little cupcake one, the strawberry, the grape one. Like you remember all these. If I show you those, you don't immediately remember. Can't you smell those just looking at them, dude?

[C]

Yeah. I mean, those are a big part of our childhood for sure. If you did well on a paper, you would buy them yourself at the pharmacy probably. But teachers had those and their little gold stars on standby. And if you got one of those.

[D]

Oh yeah, the grape going and happy birthday. Those are ones that like, I really feel like just by, like there was a.

[H]

Wait, there was a taco one.

[C]

Yeah, I got that one for some reason.

[D]

Scooper duper Camino. Another. Another taco one for you.

[C]

But you know what? All those great memories, Rich. Especially this right here.

[H]

He's got the pasta meatballs one.

[C]
