---

Introduction

In this episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, hosts Steve Covino and Rich Davis delve into a nostalgic discussion about the best teen movies from the 1980s and 1990s, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The conversation seamlessly transitions into a critique of the New York Mets, exploring why the team has become increasingly unlikable among fans.

Best Teen Movies Debate

The episode kicks off with a tribute to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, marking its 40th anniversary on June 5, 1985. Steve Covino highlights the movie's enduring popularity and cultural significance.

"Ferris Bueller would be the number one answer on the board, I really do."
— Steve Covino [07:24]

The hosts engage in a debate about what qualifies as a teen movie, questioning whether classics like The Goonies, Back to the Future, and Stand by Me fit the genre. Covino advocates for movies that revolve around high school experiences and teenage characters.

"Just because you watch it as a teen doesn't make it a teen movie."
— Steve Covino [12:18]

Callers' Contributions

Listeners enthusiastically contribute their favorite teen movies, adding diversity to the discussion. Highlights include Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Revenge of the Nerds, Lost Boys, and Spaceballs. The hosts debate the classification of these films, emphasizing the importance of teen-centric narratives.

"Revenge of the Nerds lines from that movie."
— Danny G [15:08]

Consensus on Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Despite the varied opinions, consensus emerges around the unparalleled legacy of Ferris Bueller's Day Off as a quintessential teen movie that has stood the test of time.

"I watched it with my daughter and I was amazed to see how she still identified with it. She thought Sloan Peterson was a hottie just like you did."
— Steve Covino [17:44]

Transition to MLB Discussion

After concluding the movie debate, the conversation shifts to Major League Baseball, specifically focusing on the New York Mets' declining popularity.

Discussion on the Mets

Steve Covino expresses strong criticism of the Mets, attributing their unlikability to strategic decisions such as trading beloved players for Juan Soto. He argues that these moves have stripped the team of its heart and authentic spirit.

"I truly believe that the Mets are the most unlikable team in the MLB, and I'll tell you why. Because I think they were arguably the most likable team last year... [36:09]"
— Steve Covino

Rich Davis supports Covino's viewpoint, noting that last year's Mets were an organic and lovable team, but recent changes have made them seem manufactured and less relatable to fans.

"I think the Mets last year, that last year was a throwaway year that ended up very well for them. But once you get back to doing what you normally do as a fan of neither of the teams... [49:12]"
— Rich Davis

NBA Finals Predictions

The hosts briefly discuss their predictions for the NBA Finals, forecasting a win for the Oklahoma City Thunder with confidence in their performance, while still rooting for the Indiana Pacers to cover.

"I think the Thunder will win tonight. But I like the Pacers in six."
— Danny G [49:42]

Conclusion

The episode wraps up with a reaffirmation of the lasting impact of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and a continued critique of the Mets' current trajectory. The hosts invite listeners to engage further in upcoming episodes, promising deeper dives into topics like Tom Thibodeau and the NBA Finals.

"Nothing really beats today's anniversary. Ferris Bueller's day Off."
— Steve Covino [36:09]

This episode offers a blend of nostalgic film analysis and sharp sports commentary, engaging listeners with both heartfelt memories and passionate opinions on contemporary sports dynamics.

[Iowa Sam]

He's feeding his little son four Dodger dogs. See that video?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. Yeah. He's sending us videos from the game. We get you involved even more. So I really appreciate the phone calls at 87799 on Fox before we get back to the NBA Finals, Danny G. Every Thursday we throw it back, we reminisce and we discuss today what was the best 80s 90s teen drama slash comedy. Because today, June 5th is the 40 year anniversary of Ferris Bueller's actual day off. Now, the movie came out June 11, 1986, but his day off was traced to be on this day 40 years ago, 6-5-85.

[Iowa Sam]

The first to do the research, by the way, was a sports writer.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, you hear the radio announcer in the movie, you remember Ferris Bueller's there. They see him at the Cubs game, He catches a foul ball, he's got his vest on. You hear the radio announcer say, claudell Washington is at bat. And he was on the Braves at the time. So the scene was filmed during an actual game between the Cubs and Braves, 6-5-85. The final score of that game was the Cubs for the Braves 2. Take a listen. Runner at first base, nobody out. That's the first hit they've had since the fifth inning, only the fourth hit in the game. Oh, and to the count, there's a drive, left field, twisting and into foul territory. Boy, I'm really surprised I didn't go for it in that inning. Lee Smith, what's the score? Nothing, nothing.

[Iowa Sam]

Who's winning?

[Danny G]

The Bears.

[Rich Davis]

It's my favorite line. No, that's great, the Bears.

[Steve Cavino]

So everybody knows the movie, everybody knows the reference.

[Iowa Sam]

And of course the camera went on to Ferris as he's jumping up and down in the crowd.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, it's the best.

[Rich Davis]

Principal's looking away.

[Steve Cavino]

I mean, we can go on all day.

[Rich Davis]

Candidate, candidate, candidate.

[Steve Cavino]

When Cameron was in Egypt.

[Rich Davis]

Let my Cameron see what I mean.

[Steve Cavino]

Like, it's just a part of us at this point. Dan Buyers favorite. Now again, that was June 5th, 40 years ago, 1985. And I always remember that because Cloudo Washington was also a Yankee and I was a fan of his, so he was playing in that game. They figured it out, but the movie actually came out about a year later, June 11, 1986. Now I think that's everyone's go to answer, like, what's your favorite teen comedy from the 80s 90s? I think Ferris Bueller would be the number one answer on the board, I really do. And it holds the test of time. And that's when Matthew Broderick was really cool. Really was cool.

[Iowa Sam]

You don't think Goonies would give it a run for its money?

[Steve Cavino]

Actually, it's a great answer. Danny G. Keep that on standby and let's get the phone calls going. 87799 on Fox. Is that a teen comedy? I think that's a debate in itself. I guess it is. It is, yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

We could just say 80s 90s teen movies if you want.

[Steve Cavino]

Right. Because, you know, comes to mind for me, and I'm bringing this up because I. I don't feel like it Gets enough props when you think of those John Hughes classics.

[Danny G]

John.

[Steve Cavino]

John Hughes did Ferris Bueller's Day Off. When you think of all those famous movies, the Breakfast Clubs and the Pretty in Pinks and all those types of movies, people often forget about Sixteen Candles. And that is my personal number one. Barely edging out of Ferris Bueller. As much as I love Ferris Bueller and like I said, I admit and acknowledge it probably is the number one. Sixteen Candles for me, I think is a really close second for most number one for me. That's Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Long Duck Dong, Jake Ryan. I don't know those guys. Real names, but still a classic. 1984 came out May 4, 1984. John Hughes. And here's why I say this. The father of a teenage daughter, teenage pain in the ass. And I do the teenage kid of today test. Does the movie stand the test of time from today's eyes? Because if you watch like the Breakfast Club now, it's slow and it's boring and kids still like it, but not as much as they like Ferris Bueller and not as much as they like Sixteen Candles. I feel like people sleep on that one. That's my number one. Danny G. Goonies. You, you show a kid that movie today, they still like it. Yeah, that's how you know.

[Iowa Sam]

And this, this will probably be debated as well, but McFly was supposed to be 17. They were in high school. So does that count as a teen movie?

[Steve Cavino]

Dude, I mean, that, that goes down as what they call the perfect movie, maybe the greatest movie ever. I don't even know if that's even in this conversation.

[Iowa Sam]

It's about centered. The characters it's centered around Spotty are teenagers.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but it doesn't have teen movie energy. It's. It's more time travel dances and.

[Steve Cavino]

It'S a great. I don't think it falls in that category. Or it hasn't, but it. Maybe it should, but it hasn't.

[Rich Davis]

I mean it's a sci fi time.

[Dan Beyer]

Travel movie, but it definitely takes a lot of. It takes place in the high school setting.

[Rich Davis]

Like Ferris wheels they off is, you know, quintessentially a teen movie Day. Day off from high school.

[Danny G]

I mean.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. And it was on this day.

[Rich Davis]

So Sixteen Candles teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, like I mentioned, Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club. I know a lot of people about high school.

[Iowa Sam]

It takes place at a high school campus. Body. No one ever Fish under the Sea dance.

[Steve Cavino]

That's so interesting you say that because when people talk teen movies, it rarely comes up.

[Rich Davis]

But it's it's a teen going back to change his parents past. It's a time travel, it's a time.

[Iowa Sam]

Travel movie back when they were in high school. Because he's in high school.

[Rich Davis]

Doc Brown is an undisputed, you know, non descript age.

[Steve Cavino]

Wow, I'm your dense.

[Iowa Sam]

Well there's also adults like the principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[Dan Beyer]

Strickland.

[Iowa Sam]

Oh yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

So old school 150 hits. We get you to solve the debate. Fox Sports Radio Nation. Be dialing now. 87799 on Fox. Maybe if you're nice Danny G. Will give you a prize. Who knows I'm just trying to get people to to call bribing you with a swiggy but 80s 90s teen dramas, comedies. I'm saying Sixteen Candles. Ferris Bueller is definitely on the Mount Rushmore. No question he was off on this day. Matthew Broderick at his greatest in my opinion. So many funny scenes and quotable scenes from that movie. I think there's one from the 90s that should be in the conversation but only one I agree from the 90s that people also forget about. But I'm going to leave it open spot. Unless that's your answer.

[Rich Davis]

It might be my answer.

[Steve Cavino]

All right, let's, let's, let's.

[Rich Davis]

But I'm, I want people to call.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, and if they don't say it then you got to bring it up. All right, Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. Who do we got?

[Iowa Sam]

Danny G. Let's start with Josh in Ohio.

[Steve Cavino]

Josh, old school and 50 hits reminisce reminiscent on a Thursday. What's up man?

[Caller]

Happy Thursday. Before I give my argument on the Breakfast Club, is your pick American Pie by chance?

[Steve Cavino]

Dude, that's a good one. That's a good wasn't. That's a really good answer though. I would say for what year that come out though. Let me double check. It might be 2000.

[Caller]

Oh okay.

[Iowa Sam]

I thought it was for some reason.

[Danny G]

I also think it's a nice workaround to not do an Iowa Sam. You know like where you don't you want to name a couple of movies but you just throw the one out there first.

[Steve Cavino]

Catching strays for no reason.

[Dan Beyer]

Thanks dan.

[Steve Cavino]

It was 99.

[Rich Davis]

99.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Steve Cavino]

Good call on that man because I think that's another one people tend to forget. That's a really good one.

[Iowa Sam]

All right, let's talk to Doug in Maryland.

[Steve Cavino]

What up Doug?

[Caller]

Hey guys. Thank you for the thermos and the swiggies. I Appreciate that. I got that, Danny. So I think you guys are forgetting 1. 1982, fast times of Ridge Mon High.

[Iowa Sam]

That's right up there at the top of the list.

[Steve Cavino]

Real good one. And you know what?

[Iowa Sam]

We're right across the street.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, we broadcast right across the street from where that was filmed. The high school that it was filmed, which is now like a mall in Sherman Oaks County.

[Danny G]

That was the mall. No, that was the mall.

[Steve Cavino]

The mall. The movie. There you go.

[Iowa Sam]

The mall was just different back then. Oh, they've reconstructed it.

[Steve Cavino]

I knew it was filmed there. I didn't know exactly what part. Nice.

[Iowa Sam]

All right, let's talk to Tripp in Vegas.

[Steve Cavino]

Bogus. What up, Trip, buddy.

[Caller]

Hey, what's up, gentlemen?

[Tom Brokaw]

How are y' all?

[Steve Cavino]

Tripp, looking forward to seeing you, man. In Vegas. June 20th, 21st, 22nd. Everybody's invited.

[Caller]

I'm gonna be there. We're bringing as many as we can. I look forward to it. Before my movie, I was gonna clear up that real ID thing. That was the Gettysburg Address. It was four score and seven years ago. You need a real id.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

We've had since Abe Lincoln to get our real id. And I procrastinated.

[Caller]

And then even though Ferris Bueller is my favorite, I'm gonna tell you. Then I'm gonna tell you the 90s movie. Are you ready?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Fan lot.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think that's not a teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

That's like a great sports movie. It's a kid coming of age and.

[Dan Beyer]

They might have been around 12, 13, maybe technically teenagers.

[Steve Cavino]

Tripp, I love you and I love that movie, but I don't consider that a teen movie. I do consider that that's a Little League.

[Rich Davis]

That's more like. That has more of a Goonies vibe. Like that age group. The age group is.

[Dan Beyer]

Is like young kid, like eight, nine year old boys to like maybe 13 year old boys.

[Iowa Sam]

Let me ask you guys, the one I first wrote down here, then Stand by me from 1986, that is a kids movie.

[Steve Cavino]

You think of age, they're kids.

[Iowa Sam]

I think they were on the brink of being teenagers.

[Rich Davis]

They were young kids because, remember, it was like the old. The older kids that they kind of had that little battle with at the end there.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Kiefer Sutherland.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

They were like actually high school, you know, because they could drive a car and stuff. Great movie. But I don't consider teen movies have a vibe.

[Iowa Sam]

It says that the kids characters were 12 to 14.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. It's not teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

I don't know. Maybe lard Ass was. I don't know.

[Danny G]

I also think that there's a difference between a teen movie and a movie you watched as a teen. Okay, that's true. And I say this because the movie lines that me and my friends in high school recited the most were from Revenge of the Nerds.

[Rich Davis]

That's true. That was a college movie. Yes, but teenagers nonetheless, because they were 18.

[Danny G]

And. Yes, and there may be scenes that aren't appropriate, but when you were an older, older teen, you saw those scenes. But it wasn't like a teen movie like you would put John Hughes. But I know in just reciting Booger's lines from that was the movie that as a teenager in high school, that if I had a buddy that I hadn't seen in 30 years and this actually happened, he sent me Revenge of the Nerds lines from that movie.

[Steve Cavino]

So I heard it. You could burp like Booger. Is that true?

[Iowa Sam]

No one.

[Danny G]

No one can.

[Steve Cavino]

Do you remember Kuger's big return on Moonlighting? He was on Moonlighting with Bruce Willis.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

Anyway, you know, I think that's a great point from everybody, actually. But Dan by. You make a great point. There's a difference. You watched as a teen. And then there's certain movies that I think just aren't teen movies. Like Back to the Future is a time travel movie. E.T. is an alien movie. Yeah. There's teenagers in the movie riding their bikes around, but that's an alien movie. I think teen movies are very specific. Sandlot. That's a. That's a little league kids movie or coming of age movie?

[Iowa Sam]

All right, here's what you can't argue with. Yeah. Teen Wolf. That's a T movie.

[Steve Cavino]

That's a.

[Iowa Sam]

Thank you.

[Rich Davis]

No question.

[Steve Cavino]

It's a movie of puberty. It's a movie. Yes. Teen Wolf. I think Stiles and Michael J. Fox and Chubbs and. Yeah, that's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

Teen movies. I think the commonality is it has to sort of take place in high school. I think there has to be some.

[Iowa Sam]

Sort of school involved describing Back to the Future.

[Steve Cavino]

You know what spot hit. Hit him with the one from the 90s. And if I could read spots mind, there's one from the 90s that could sort of fit into the John Hughes, Ferris Bueller's Day off, old school and 50 hits. Conversation the same.

[Rich Davis]

I hope you're not.

[Steve Cavino]

Does it involve Seth Green giving it. Okay, then we're on the same page.

[Rich Davis]

It is 1998. Can't hardly wait. Definitely. It is the teen movie Quintessential teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

I think that's the only one from the late 90s that has the same heart and vibe of an 80s John Hughes film. That's with Amanda Beckett and Josh. What was his name? Mike Dexter.

[Rich Davis]

Mike Dexter, yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

Jennifer.

[Rich Davis]

Ethan Embry, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Peter Facinelli. It was just an. It was an all star, all star cast.

[Steve Cavino]

Basically, the question is this. These are all great movies, but I'm here to say that even, even my number one, Sixteen Candles, because I watched it with my daughter and it still holds up. It's still not bigger than Ferris Bueller's day off. So on his day off, June 5, 1985, this day 40 years ago, is there anything that rivals that one as far as universally accepted as still watchable, holds the test of time and. Great. Let's go to the phones.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, loaded lines here. Let's start with Jeremy and Spokane.

[Steve Cavino]

Jeremy, you're on the show. Covino and Rich. Yes.

[Caller]

Guys, I'm going to go with Spaceballs. From the opening scene when the ship was too long to the comb in the desert. I mean, the black guys had a pick. Is just all all over.

[Steve Cavino]

I love your call and I appreciate you contributing, but you did exactly what Dan Beyer just said. You watched it as a teen. That doesn't make it a teen movie. That's a space comedy.

[Rich Davis]

That's a dope comedy movie. There's not even any teenagers in the movie.

[Steve Cavino]

Just because you watch it as a teen doesn't make it a teen movie. But a great call. Great movie. Sam, before we get to the phones, what's up, Sam?

[Iowa Sam]

What?

[Rich Davis]

Good one from the 90s.

[Dan Beyer]

10 Things I Hate about you.

[Rich Davis]

Love it. Definitely a teen movie.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

Who's in that one?

[Rich Davis]

Heath Ledger.

[Steve Cavino]

And I'm not sure I'm that familiar with that movie, so maybe it's one.

[Rich Davis]

I watch based on Taming of the Shrew.

[Steve Cavino]

I mean, I obviously know the title and the movie and Heath Ledger, but yeah, I don't think I've seen it. Who else we got the energy.

[Iowa Sam]

Let's talk to Alex in Maine.

[Steve Cavino]

Alex, can anything rival Ferris Bueller's day off? Dan Byers favorite movie on his actual day off.

[Caller]

Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Now, I wouldn't consider myself a 90s kid. I was born in 98, but one of my favorites was Matthew McConaughey classic Dazed and Confused.

[Rich Davis]

Great.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, that's borderline too. I think that's a teen movie, but I also think that's like a. Like a pot movie. Like a Weed burnout movie.

[Rich Davis]

It's a retro teen movie because it was. It took place in the. It took place in the 70s, but it came out in the 90s.

[Iowa Sam]

Group of Southern California high school students.

[Steve Cavino]

Right. I'm glad you brought it up, man. Good one. It's definitely debatable. And it has a huge cult following. No question. No doubt.

[Iowa Sam]

All right. Bobby in Mississippi.

[Steve Cavino]

Bobby, you're on the show. Covino and Rick.

[Caller]

How's it going, guys? Yeah, the previous caller took mine, so I had. I had one as a backup. And that may be borderline, but stand by Me.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, that was on my list, man. They say no, though. And I wanted to. I wanted to play the pie eating clip that we had the audio up.

[Steve Cavino]

Here, but play it anyway. I think it's debatable on whether or not it's considered a teen movie. Let's play the clip.

[Iowa Sam]

I'll get it in a second here. Well, I erased it after you guys.

[Steve Cavino]

After we shot you down.

[Iowa Sam]

After you ruined my dreams. All right, let's talk to Steve in Alaska.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Steve.

[Caller]

Hey. How you guys doing today?

[Steve Cavino]

Doing good, man.

[Caller]

Hey, I got one for you. It's one that probably not too many people know about. John Cusack, Better Off Day.

[Rich Davis]

I was just thinking of that.

[Dan Beyer]

It's a great one.

[Rich Davis]

I want my $2.

[Steve Cavino]

Dude. Honestly, that's such an underrated movie that I. Every time it was on, I left it on. I thought that was a great one. And it had the random hamburger dance scene that the kids could get into and the hamburgers playing Van Halen. Everybody wants some. So random. So fun. I love that movie. I think it's great.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, Better Off.

[Rich Davis]

Dad's a great one.

[Iowa Sam]

Awesome.

[Steve Cavino]

Better Off. That's a real good one.

[Iowa Sam]

Let's talk to Chris in Phoenix.

[Caller]

I got one that's not exactly a teen movie, but something I watched as a team. National Lampoon vacation.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, that's. That's on the list I'm looking at.

[Danny G]

For.

[Iowa Sam]

It'S borderline family vacation.

[Danny G]

Yeah, but.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, I'm very specific.

[Steve Cavino]

I actually agree. I know certain lists group these things together, But I think 80s movies have a totally. Or teen movies have a totally different vibe about them. And John Hughes is responsible for most of them. Yeah, like, we had.

[Danny G]

We had Kelly tweeted in Uncle Buck, like, no. You know, and so then you're. They are like, okay. Blurring lines or.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah. His niece was in high school. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Like.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, but it's not about a movie.

[Rich Davis]

More about the uncle. It's like a family Uncle Box what.

[Iowa Sam]

Would you guys say about the Karate Kid?

[Rich Davis]

Karate Kid is a teen movie.

[Iowa Sam]

Okay, thank you 100%.

[Steve Cavino]

Damn. Then that might be my number one. Because I still think that's great. Even though people are torn on the new one. Karate Kid Legends in theaters now with Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio. You know, there's a movie that people forget and people often think, at least I often think it's a John Hughes movie. But it's not. But it comes up in these conversations. Some kind of wonderful.

[Rich Davis]

Love it.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

Great team.

[Steve Cavino]

It's not a John Hughes movie, but a great 80s sort of teen movie. But when it comes to the 90s, I think the kings of the 90s, we already got the American Pies and Can't Hardly Wait. Yeah. Are there ones we've forgetting from the 90s?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, there's like a few random ones. Like I was saying, I mentioned. What did you mention? I was saying again, 10 things I hate about 10 things I hate about you is a good one.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, what's the one with Rachel Lee Cook?

[Rich Davis]

She's all that. Which I was just about to say that's a good one.

[Steve Cavino]

And Freddie Prince, right? Isn't he in that one?

[Rich Davis]

Drive me Crazy.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Freddie Prinze was in that. Drive Me Crazy with Adrian Grenier and Melissa Joan Hart was another one that was 99. There was a lot of good random that to. That to me is like a 90s teen movie style. Just like 80s to me is a John Hughes movie. Teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

So I think we. We crowned the king on this day. So we did solve that. I think no matter how much we love a particular one, we all could universally agree, unanimously agree that we all love Ferris Bueller's day off. Dan Beyer, you're not wrong about that. And it still holds the test of time. When you watch it with your little son, I'm guaranteeing he's still going to like it. He's going to think Ferris Bueller was the coolest. I watched with my daughter and I was amazed to see how she still identified with it. She thought Sloan Peterson was a hottie just like you did. Just like you did growing up. Because she was and still is. And it's a classic that we honor on his day off. On Rich's day off. Cause Rich is at the Mets game. So again, 40 years ago today, Ferris took the day off and enjoyed the Cubs and the Braves and the rest of your feedback at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And if you're on the phone. Now we'll do a little rapid fire on the other side. All right. And I'm going to tell you why the Mets are so unlikable and more NBA Fox Sports Radio, Cavino and Rich.

Steve Covino taking your phone calls now. Iowa. Sam's playing some of the score from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[Rich Davis]

March of the school. 40 years ago.

[Dan Beyer]

English beat.

[Steve Cavino]

English beat. 40 years ago on this day was his actual day off. He was trying to get home on time before his parents got there. What is the best teen comedy drama from the 80s 90s? Before we get to your phone calls, rapid fire DB what's up, buddy?

[Danny G]

You know you and me love some TikTok. A lot of people love TikTok. There was a TikTok video that popped in my algorithm lately on how all of the license plates in Ferris Bueller's reference other John Hughes movies. So if you look at the license plate, say in that chase scene where his mom or Jeannie's driving and and then his dad's driving, you look at the license plates, they all reference different John Hughes films from the past.

[Steve Cavino]

Some Easter eggs. All right, so we'll take your phone calls. Then I'm going to tell you why the Mets stink, why I don't like them, why they're the most hateable team and we'll get back to the NBA finals. But your phone calls. Now who we got?

[Iowa Sam]

Danny G. Let's go to Missouri. Kelly.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Kelly.

[Caller]

Hey guys, I got two really quickly. Varsity Blues and Can't Buy Me Love. Now, they don't rival Ferris Bueller's Day off because that is my all time favorite, but those are definitely up there as far as teen movies in the 90s.

[Steve Cavino]

And you know, I'm glad you're bringing These up, too, because not everybody has seen them. Maybe you check them out. Maybe you check them out with your kids, too, to see if they still hold up. Thanks. Who do we got?

[Dan Beyer]

I don't want your life.

[Iowa Sam]

Tony in Virginia.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Tony. Hey.

[Caller]

In our rated one, Porky.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, Porky's is on some of the lists I looked at today.

[Steve Cavino]

Is that like a R rated teen comedy? I guess so. Yeah. 80s teen comedy. You're up late at night. That was.

[Danny G]

Go ahead, Sam.

[Steve Cavino]

That was. That was when you definitely stayed up late to watch, I guess it was.

[Rich Davis]

Sort of supposed to be shot in the same era, but it makes me.

[Dan Beyer]

Think of, like, Greece.

[Iowa Sam]

It was.

[Rich Davis]

Greece is a high school. Definitely a high school movie. 78.

[Dan Beyer]

I know, but it takes place in the 50s.

[Rich Davis]

Both of those films, Porky's and Grease.

[Dan Beyer]

Both take place, but they're high school kids.

[Danny G]

There's also other differences.

[Dan Beyer]

Humor in.

[Rich Davis]

In Greece.

[Steve Cavino]

No.

[Rich Davis]

Definitely the adult human.

[Danny G]

No, just like, like, like Porky's to me, was the dirty movie growing up, Right? Absolutely. Like, that's what it was. It never. I never would have considered that a teen.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah. Not exactly in the genre.

[Danny G]

No.

[Steve Cavino]

I sort of agree with DB Only because it was so next level. Like I said. Who else do we got?

[Iowa Sam]

Let's go to Pennsylvania. Josh.

[Steve Cavino]

What up, Josh?

[Caller]

Hey, guys. You guys are like, you got to meet for the teen movie. I think if you got teens in it, it's a teen movie, but something more. My vibe is the Lost Boys. I love Ferris Bueller's Day off, but I could watch Lost Boys every week.

[Rich Davis]

Lost Boys is kind of a teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

It is. I think that is sort of a teen movie and a good one, so I'm glad you added to the conversation. I appre. Is that it, Danny G. No.

[Iowa Sam]

We got a few more here.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, wow.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, man. Phones have been melting on this.

[Steve Cavino]

Mark Crossfire.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, Mark in Carson City.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Mark.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. First of all, I just want to let you know I was out of town when my swiggy got delivered and somebody decided they wanted it more than I did.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, man.

[Dan Beyer]

Porch pirates.

[Steve Cavino]

Did you call it a Squiggy like Lenny and Squiggy? Hello. I feel like he said squiggy. Unless I'm hearing it wrong. Sorry about your Squiggy, but maybe Danny G could help you.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, I'll talk to you after your call and I'll send another one your way.

[Caller]

And my team movie just got mentioned was Can't Buy Me Love with Patrick Densey.

[Rich Davis]

Good one.

[Steve Cavino]

Thank you, buddy.

[Iowa Sam]

Sir. Look at that man, better customer service than Amazon. Just like that will replace it.

[Danny G]

Cove. I have a nominee, but I don't want to take any of the callers. So if we have a few more callers, but I want to run one by you.

[Steve Cavino]

All right, definitely.

[Iowa Sam]

Cool. Let's talk to Taylor in Orlando.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Taylor.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. How's it going?

[Steve Cavino]

Good.

[Caller]

I'm. One of my favorite movies from. I think it's maybe 80 is Caddyshack.

[Steve Cavino]

Great movie?

[Rich Davis]

No. Don't even know. Just say no.

[Dan Beyer]

I mean, Danny Noonan's trying to earn scholarship again.

[Danny G]

He's a teen. Yeah, he's a teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

No, just because it's in it. I didn't want to debate our caller because I appreciate you guys. That doesn't mean it's a teen movie.

[Iowa Sam]

All right, Dan in Minnesota.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, Dan.

[Caller]

How's it going? Fast times at Ridgemont High.

[Steve Cavino]

No sh.

[Caller]

No shoes, no dice.

[Steve Cavino]

Definitely early 80s classic teen movie for sure.

[Iowa Sam]

I know DB has one there.

[Danny G]

Yeah, I'm curious and your guys thought. Because I don't consider it a teen movie, but where are you on Footloose?

[Steve Cavino]

I'll tell you what movie.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, that's on this list.

[Steve Cavino]

Dude, my feet were never that loose. I've never seen.

[Iowa Sam]

Never seen it.

[Steve Cavino]

I've never seen it. You believe that?

[Danny G]

That's right.

[Iowa Sam]

And I told Tovino that he needs to put it on his list to see, and he said no.

[Steve Cavino]

Never saw Dirty Dancing. I don't know. The whole dancing thing sort of threw me off.

[Danny G]

It is because it's based in high school. It's that whole theme. But I think I get so focused on the John Hughes aspect of it. And I love Footloose. It's one of my favorites.

[Steve Cavino]

Do you kick off your Sunday shoes?

[Iowa Sam]

Hey, Beyer. I have one that I'm surprised nobody said. And we wore this VHS tape out. Weird Science.

[Danny G]

Yes, absolutely. A cheap movie.

[Steve Cavino]

That's absolutely. Anthony Michael hall and Wyatt whatever his name was. Yeah, that belongs in the conversation.

[Rich Davis]

I'm a young Robert Downey. Jun.

[Steve Cavino]

Yes. Yes.

[Danny G]

I'm a big Vision Quest fan.

[Rich Davis]

Great movie.

[Steve Cavino]

That's one of Spotty's favorites.

[Rich Davis]

That's a good teen movie.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, thanks again for participating. I think we did establish that nothing really beats today's anniversary. Ferris Bueller's day Off. Now, the movie came out again, 86, June 11th. But today, 40 years ago, was his day off. And we have a lot in common, to be honest. Ferris Bueller and I, both very popular with the sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, Bloods, waste toys, weebies, they'll adore me. They think I'm a righteous dude. I'm Steve Cavino. Dan Beyer, Danny G, Sam and Spot is here. I'm going to tell you why the Mets stink, but first let's talk to Dan Byer. Get an update.

[Danny G]

Oh, I'm so sorry I stepped on you. I apologize for that one. Aaron Rodgers stepped on the NBA Finals because he's going to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The free agent quarterback going to sign a one year deal to play in 2025 in the Steel City NFL Network. The first to report the news. Pittsburgh Post Gazette says Ro is going to sign in time to take part in next week's mandatory minicamp. Other NFL news Steelers did place tenant Donald Parham on the reserve injured list with a ruptured Achilles tendon, ending his 2025 season before it began. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson going to miss next week because of a shoulder issue. He's also in jeopardy of missing the start of training camp starting July 22. Day baseball rich Davis isn't here because he's at Dodger Stadium. He just watched the Dodgers tie up his Mets five apiece now in the box of the eighth inning. All the other action in day baseball is final. Giants top the Padres 3 2. Orioles have won six straight. They swept the Mariners winning 43 today A's route the Twins 14 to 3, Cardinals a 65 winner and 10 against the Royals. White Sox needed 10 but got past the Tigers 32 and the Jays were a 91 victor against Philadelphia. While earlier today in Atlanta.

[Dan Beyer]

Down the left field line into the corner it goes. Marte scores, Vargas right behind him and the diamondbacks take the lead 11 to 10. It's a miraculous seven run ninth inning.

[Danny G]

And Eugenio Suarez is two RBI double that you heard of. The Diamondbacks radio network gave the Snakes the lead for good. They win in Atlanta with that seven run ninth 11 to 10. French Open. Coco Golf second seated American advances to the final on the ladies side, she'll face top seeded Arena Sabalenka in the final. Sabalenka topped Iga Swantek in three sets today, has won the event four times and it snapped her 26 match win streak. And again tonight, game one of the NBA Finals. Pacers and Thunder 8:30 Eastern Time from Oklahoma City. Kove, back to you.

[Steve Cavino]

Thank you Dan Beyer. Thanks Fox Sports Radio Nation. Thanks for all the feedback too. Again at Covinoenrich at FoxSports Radio. Now it's getting late early so remember to tune into over promised right after this show. In just how many minutes? Like 20 minutes over promised with Covino and Rich. Rich will be on over promised. We're going to talk about Tom Thibodeau. We're going to talk about bald guys and short kings trying to uplift all the short kings out there. Again, us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube channel right after this show, episode 95. And we're also going to talk some NBA finals. Wrap it up. We did that earlier. If you missed it, catch the podcast. But I do want to set this up. It's Rich Davis's day off. He thinks he's Ferris Ferris Bueller, but he's a goon who likes the Mets. I gotta say, I don't know if it's the whole Juan Soto thing. It probably is. A lot of it has to do with Juan Soto. As a Yankees fan, my bitterness probably starts there, but it doesn't end there. I truly believe that the Mets are the most unlikable team in the mlb, and I'll tell you why. Because I think they were arguably the most likable team last year and they got rid of a few key players and they added Juan Soto. And I'm here to tell you that I think they're more unlikable than the team that actually beat my team, the Dodgers. The Dodgers are way more likable than the New York Mets, and I want to know your thoughts about it and your reasons as to why you think I'm right or wrong. We're going to chop it up and talk more MLB and NBA next right here on FOX Sports Radio. Covino and Rich.

[Steve Cavino]

All right. Welcome back. Throwback Thursday that I thought was a Friday, the entire day. Cavino and Rich Steve Cavino with Danny G. Dan Beyer, Iowa. Sam and you, FOX Sports Radio Nation. Now from searching online, asking your friends and family, there's lots of ways to look for jobs. So remember express employment. And for over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient insulation insulation options like mobile tire insulation. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. Now, I gotta tell you, I've had a lot of fun hanging out with you guys today. But Rich Davis taking his day off like Ferris Bueller to see the Mets really got me thinking about the Mets and I really despise him. And of course, it all goes back to Juan Soto. The Yankees did everything they could to keep the guy and he leaves. So every time he strikes out and every time I look and he's still batting in the two 30s and he's not doing much, I am so pumped about it. If his biggest highlight so far was a few home runs and him flipping a water bottle, yes. But it's not just that, man. It's like anything, when you rip the heart out of something, it's just never the same. It could be a TV show you like or a movie you like. Speaking of movies, you know, when Wesley Snipes was no longer in major league, it just wasn't the same to me. And when you think of the Mets last year, when you think of the Mets, what made them really likable was the heart that they played with and the fun stuff that they were surrounded by. Like the whole OMG thing, as corny as I thought it was, I feel like Jose Iglesias was a major part of that team and they threw him away, tossed him aside like yesterday's diapers. They threw him in the trash. He's a Padre now. The whole candle eat the thing omg. That was all the Mets last year. Oh, we love the Mets. And they were fun, lovable team that. I mean, even the casual fan could get behind Lindor. Really likable guy. Polar Bear Pete. Big goon, but he came through in the clutch. You're like, wow, there's something magical about this team.

[Iowa Sam]

Grimace Hawk to a girl.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, there was. There was a lot going on that made them likable, even if you don't root for the Mets. But they tossed away a lot of that for Juan Soto, and to me, that makes them so much less likable. And how about the whole vibe of. They were so on the fence of even bringing back Polar Bear Pete. You know, he's not the most likable dude, but he plays hard. He's a Met. The way I see it, no one was really screaming about keeping them. They were ready to dish him aside, and now he's the only guy really delivering. The guy hit, what, two bombs yesterday? And, you know, everyone's still talking about Juan Soto. I'm like, yo, he's your guy. Ever since they got Soto, dude, I feel like the whole image has changed, and I dislike them more than I like. Like, then I dislike the Dodgers, and they beat the Yankees this year because I think the Dodgers are still just more likable with a bunch of likable people. And it starts with Shohei Ohtani, Shohei Otani, Max Muncie, Mookie Betts. Dude, the guy's so likable. There's lots of guys that are fun to root for even though they're overpaid, even though they're ridiculously good. There's something about the Mets that just rubs me the wrong way. And it's not just. And that doesn't feel very met to me. I feel like they're better when they're likable. Having Juan Soto has ruined their image, and I think it's gonna cost them when it comes to chemistry in the long run. That's my take on that. It's like getting rid of Jose Iglesias to make room for this guy. I just feel like he got rid of the heart of what made the Mets the Mets and what made them likable. It's like Roseanne without Roseanne. It's like your favorite band without the main guy, Dan Beyer. What are your thoughts on that?

[Danny G]

It's funny because your team, Cavino, I think, is a team that everybody loves to hate every single year. But I felt like the year when Aaron Judge was a rookie and he was coming on the scene that they turned likable. And I felt the Mets last year, that last year was a throwaway year that ended up ending up very well for them. But once you get back to doing what you normally do as a fan of neither of the teams, and I don't even think it's fair for Danny to comment because he's a Dodgers fan of, you know, so you guys are fans of these big, big baseball teams and the general consensus around, I think major league baseball with the other 27 teams or 25 teams, however you want to say, are on the outside looking into those big market squads, we usually look down on our nose at those being like, oh, those are the big spenders. And I think you're exactly right about the Mets last year. They had an organic feel to them and the run that they went on in the second half of the year was amazing. And now it's just kind of seems manufactured.

Nailed it. Dan Buyer, we could wrap on that. The point is, it's not the Yankees. Judge is a likable guy. It's not the Dodgers, Mookie Betts, Shohi Otani, these are likable guys. The Mets now and everything they did to disregard their key players to get Juan Stto, they're the least likable. That being said, NBA Finals Thursday. Let's go, Buyer. Let's start with you two. Let's go. Game one. Who you got to win and why?

[Danny G]

Okay, so just for tonight, I think the Thunder will win, but I like the Pacers to be able to cover. I think that they'll be able to keep it close, but in the end, the Thunder win tonight. But the Pacers cover.

[Steve Cavino]

Nice. Danny G. NBA guy.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, man. For the series. Besides Siakam and Halliburton being huge, of course, I think Neesmith and Turner are going to be huge in this series. I like the Pacers in six.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, the way Neesmith was hitting threes too. Always dangerous. I was. Sam, you got to pick here.

[Rich Davis]

Pacers shock tonight.

[Steve Cavino]

Shock tonight. But who do you got?

[Rich Davis]

I'll take the Pacers.

[Steve Cavino]

Why not? I completely agree with DB and thank you guys for hanging out. It's Kavino Rich. See you in the over promised land. Let's go.
