Introduction

In this engaging episode of "The Herd," hosts Steve Covino and Rich Davis delve into a nostalgic exploration of school days from the 1980s and 1990s. They discuss the tools, traditions, and social dynamics of past educational environments, contrasting them with today's modern classrooms. The conversation is enriched by listener call-ins, sharing personal memories and reflections.

Nostalgia for School Tools and Technology

Covino and Davis kick off the discussion by reminiscing about the essential tools of their school days that have since become obsolete or transformed significantly.

• Overhead Projectors and VCRs:

  • Rich Davis reflects, "We used to have these overhead projectors where teachers would display their lessons. Now, it's all computer screens and digital presentations."
  • Steve Covino adds humorously, "Remember trying not to fall asleep while the teacher was dragging something on that overhead projector?"

• Pencil Sharpeners and Writing Tools:

  • The hosts recall the ubiquitous pencil sharpener, a staple in every classroom, highlighting how digital devices have largely replaced traditional writing instruments.
  • Steve Covino nostalgically mentions, "Kids don't even write script or cursive anymore, but we had these sturdy pencil sharpeners that probably date back to Ben Franklin's era!"

Listener Call-Ins: Sharing Memories

The episode features several listener segments where callers share their own school day memories, adding depth and variety to the hosts' reflections.

• Milo from Bakersfield on Classroom Technology:

  • Milo shares, "Overhead projectors and VCR carts were game-changers. Nowadays, everything's streamed, so teachers can't predict what's coming up next."

• Joe from Illinois on Classroom Decor:

  • Joe reminisces, "Those big Earth globes that spun around the room—teachers used a giant ruler to point out countries. It's fascinating how such tangible tools have disappeared."

• Tripp from Vegas on Lunch Memories:

  • Tripp recalls, "The lunchboxes with matching thermoses and those floppy disks from the '90s. Not to mention the dreaded paddle hanging on the wall for misbehaving students."

Changing Dynamics of School Lunches and Social Stigma

A significant portion of the conversation centers on how school lunches have evolved and the shifting social perceptions associated with them.

• From "Weird Kids" to Stigma:

  • Rich Davis observes, "When you were younger, bringing your own lunch was seen as the quirky choice. Now, opting for school lunch can sometimes carry a stigma of being less affluent."

• Economic Indicators in School Cafeterias:

  • Danny G highlights, "In some schools, pink tickets for subsidized lunches marked students as economically disadvantaged, which unfortunately led to social labeling."

• Quality and Variety of School Food:

  • The hosts discuss improvements and changes in school meal programs, noting how options like veggie dogs have become more prevalent.

Evolution of Social Interactions and Playground Activities

Covino and Davis explore how student interactions and playground activities have transformed over the decades.

• From Passing Notes to Digital Communication:

  • Rich Davis shares his surprise at finding physical love notes among his memorabilia, contrasting it with today's digital communications. "Our kids don't write these cute teenage love notes because they're just texting each other."

• Pencil Fights and Physical Play:

  • Brian from Mississippi introduces the topic of pencil fights, a common playground activity in the past. "Pencil fighting was a big deal. Kids would come in with giant red carpenter pencils, and it was a way to challenge each other."

• Outdoor Play Equipment:

  • The hosts reminisce about playgrounds with steel springs and outdated equipment, noting the increased focus on safety today. "Unsafe playground toys were a thing back then, but now everything is designed with safety in mind."

Listener Reflections on School Infrastructure

The conversation also touches upon changes in school infrastructure and facilities.

• Water Fountains and Hydration Practices:

  • Steve Covino recalls, "Back in the day, we had these old water fountains with coolers that certain kids monopolized. Now, every student has their own water bottle and purified water stations."

• Climate Control and School Facilities:

  • The hosts discuss the lack of air conditioning in older schools, a stark contrast to modern classrooms equipped with climate control systems.

Transition to Current Sports Topics

Shifting gears, Covino and Davis briefly discuss contemporary sports topics, notably the Los Angeles Dodgers' new summer drink menu enhancements.

• Dodgers' New Menu Items:

  • Steve Covino enthusiastically describes, "The Dodgers have introduced a buzzball cocktail and a frozen cocktail bat to their drink menus—perfect for those hot summer days at the ballpark."

• Viewer Engagement and Promotions:

  • The hosts encourage listeners to engage with ongoing promotions and events, such as live broadcasts and giveaways, maintaining the show's interactive nature.

Conclusion

Wrapping up the episode, Covino and Davis reflect on the blend of nostalgia and present-day changes in both educational environments and current sports trends. They emphasize the importance of remembering past experiences while adapting to modern advancements.

• Rich Davis at [00:50]: "My goal is to really destigmatize mental health treatment and looking at it from a whole health perspective."
• Steve Covino at [05:43]: "That old school pencil sharpener from the 1800s... What up, Dan Beyer?"
• Caller at [15:41]: "I used to beg my folks to... I wanted that hot pizza, that hamburger patty."
• Rich Davis at [18:31]: "Our kids won't write each other little cute teenage love notes because they're just texting each other."

Start thinking of something that you would find in schools in the 80s and 90s, the that you won't find today because we're wrapping up school this week. Kids were graduating this week out here in the west coast and school's out fall, summer, but everywhere, everywhere else, school's winding down. Rich. So got us thinking about that.

[Rich Davis]

What have we said so far?

[Steve Covino]

Well, I said I got the number one answer, but I didn't really want to give it away.

[Rich Davis]

I just gave you one so far. That was the tv, VCR on the roll in.

[Steve Covino]

I said chalkboards because everything's dry erase. But I have another one I think that that rivals but I don't want to give away anyone else's answer.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's. Let's go to your feedback, Danny G. Phones are hot, but again, they're broken. So I don't got the names, but I see them ringing.

[Danny G]

Yes, sir. Let's start with Milo and Bakersfield. Yeah. So breaking news. Four of the lines now are functioning.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, baby.

[Danny G]

Plus three. All right. Yeah, for some reason some of the lines are dark today, but Milo and Bakersfield, let's start off with you.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Milo?

[Caller]

Hey, big up. No respect to CNR and the crew. Thanks for having me.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, man. What's up?

[Caller]

So you stole my answer with the VCR combo cart. But the best thing about that was minimum day on a Friday three day weekend. When you saw that in class, you knew it was gonna be a chill day. Nowadays everything's streaming so you don't know when the teachers are gonna throw anything up.

[Steve Covino]

You would try your hardest to not to like not fall asleep while they were playing something on that.

[Caller]

But I got another answer.

[Steve Covino]

Go ahead.

[Caller]

Overhead projector.

[Steve Covino]

That was mine. Man. I'm glad I didn't say it. I was thinking the same thing.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. What do they do now?

[Steve Covino]

Just it's all. It's all computer screens.

[Rich Davis]

So you just have a project.

[Caller]

Nicer projectors.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Actually like fit to the ceiling.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly.

[Caller]

It's, you know, it's not the ones with the.

[Steve Covino]

And they're usually projecting something off the.

[Rich Davis]

Computer, mirroring your laptop on the screen.

[Danny G]

Remember when Al Davis wheeled. Went out for his press conference and people were like, what is that?

[Steve Covino]

But ours had the same technology as like an old school bowling alley kind. I remember they put this like. Like wax paper. What do you even call that? That, that transparency. Transparent transparency paper with the. This is an erasable marker.

[Rich Davis]

Obtuse angle. This is an acute angle.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly. Those old school overhead projectors.

[Danny G]

I hated when the teacher spent two hours doing that.

[Caller]

Well, I think we get hot too.

[Steve Covino]

I'm going to say one that no one's going to say. That old school pencil sharpener from the 1800s. That Ben Franklin style pencil sharpener. You got that Damn right.

[Caller]

Pencils anymore or what?

[Steve Covino]

No, kids don't even write script or cursive anymore. But remember that old. It was like there probably for a hundred years. It was from like Walnut Grove. Like Charles Ingalls used that pencil sharpener and you used the same one. What up, Dan Beyer?

[Caller]

I'll tell you what, guys. There is one thing that I thought this may be a bit of stretching it. How about actual students? Because when I was growing up, homeschooling was so foreign. If there was a kid who was homeschooled, he might also have been a sasquatch.

[Rich Davis]

That's true.

[Caller]

Because like, you heard of him, you didn't know. Maybe you saw him in town once, but he wasn't within your friend group. He was just a kid that was there. Homeschooling was so foreign. So to spin it that way, actual students now it seems very common.

[Rich Davis]

Really funny you would say that because when I, you know, coach these kids in little league and Pony Ball, there's always one or two kids on the team that are homeschooled. And I don't think I knew a homeschool. You heard of one?

[Caller]

Yes.

His mom gives him haircuts with a ball.

[Rich Davis]

He's very pale.

[Caller]

He doesn't step outside.

[Rich Davis]

Correct. I got rare.

[Danny G]

It was like Bigfoot and DB During COVID The kids were all on Zoom.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Danny G]

Nobody was.

[Caller]

Now it's normal.

[Rich Davis]

I got one that might still be there because they never removed them. But you don't see kids using them anymore. The old water fountain.

[Steve Covino]

Oh yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Every kid has their water bottle. Bottle of water. I remember Jim Cross, our gym teacher.

[Caller]

How are you supposed to fill up the water unless you have a fountain?

[Rich Davis]

I'm saying they have the, like, purified filter thing where you. Like at the airport where you hold your water bottle.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. You have to sit there in line and wait in line. Like, oh, especially the.

[Caller]

The machines that. The fountains that had, like, the engine in it that would cool the water, make it really cold, calcified. You're like, oh, this is the best water I've ever had.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Those are so old school.

[Rich Davis]

It's funny. Shout out to the late Mr. Frasca. We used to. We used to laugh how he would let you get a drink for the quickest three seconds. Yeah, yeah. Next he'd be like, 1, 2, 3. Next, meathead. 1, 2, 3.

[Steve Covino]

Next,.

[Rich Davis]

Meathead. And I'm thinking to myself, like, now we're like kids, you gotta hydrate back then if you're like, can I get a drink of water?

[Steve Covino]

You're like, no, exactly.

[Danny G]

The old water fountains are like old phone booths now. Like, do you know we have one here in the hallway?

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Danny G]

Obviously no one ever uses.

[Caller]

I haven't used that thing in years.

[Rich Davis]

I'm the only one that occasionally on my way out will take a sip and it shoots to the ceiling.

[Steve Covino]

Also, it's not cool.

[Caller]

It's like room temperature. It's awful.

[Steve Covino]

That's a bidet, bro. Oh, yeah. Someone's got to tell.

[Rich Davis]

That explains. Brush your teeth that.

[Steve Covino]

All right, I think. You know what? We're going to phones again. 877-99-FOX. But I just thought one. I'm going to unlock a memory. I thought of one that no one's going to get. Go ahead. Who do we got?

[Rich Davis]

We got Danny. Who?

[Danny G]

See, let's move on to Joe in Illinois.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Joey. What's up, bud?

[Steve Covino]

Hey.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, guys.

[Caller]

How's it going up there?

[Rich Davis]

We're good, man.

[Caller]

What.

[Rich Davis]

What do you. What will you never see in a classroom now that you saw in the 80s or 90s?

[Caller]

Well, do you remember the Earth globes? You know, the big globe thing of the. The Earth, the planet that would spin around that have all the. The countries on it.

[Danny G]

Yeah. The teacher would point to it with.

[Steve Covino]

A big ruler, like, globey. Like me globey.

[Rich Davis]

I love how jokes. I love how Joe explained the globe. Like, I had never seen one. I know it has the countries on it.

[Steve Covino]

He's like, you know, the teacher with a nice globe. So I'm like, huh?

[Caller]

It's a globe.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Who.

[Rich Davis]

Ms. Lippy. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, buddy. Who else do we Got.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, before you go to the next one, I'm going to hit you up with one because I don't know if anyone will say it.

[Steve Covino]

No, I got the best one.

[Rich Davis]

Do you remember that long stick with the hook on it?

[Steve Covino]

You son of a bee.

[Rich Davis]

That would open, like, the high windows.

[Danny G]

I have not thought about that.

[Steve Covino]

It's like they would call on you to open up a window, and you have to. It's again, it's something designed by Ben Franklin. And you would take this early 1800s, like, pole. You have to put it in that little loop to push the window open.

[Danny G]

Rich, you win a swiggy for that.

[Steve Covino]

The Ben Franklin pole.

[Rich Davis]

But, you know, it's funny, Danny, you.

[Danny G]

Guys, the one that has a dent in it.

[Steve Covino]

There's no air conditioning in a lot of our schools.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, you grew up on the West Coast.

[Caller]

Here's some Ben Franklin music for you. Maybe a little.

[Rich Davis]

You grew up on the West Coast, Danny.

[Steve Covino]

And who wants to open up the window? I do.

[Rich Davis]

Ms. Libby.

[Caller]

Who's got a can opener?

[Steve Covino]

What was that stupid thing called? I'm gonna ask ChatGPT right now.

[Rich Davis]

You guys grew up on the West Coast? Camino's a Jersey guy, I'm a New York guy. You know what baffles me? Sending my kids to school out here in la, all the classrooms are, like, outside. We only saw that, Danny.

[Danny G]

Oh, the modulars.

[Rich Davis]

We only. No, but I'm saying we only saw.

[Steve Covino]

That in Karate Kid.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, we saw it in movies. Not even trailers. I'm saying, like m. Kids school. The entrances to the classroom are outdoors.

[Danny G]

I see what you're saying.

[Rich Davis]

My elementary, middle school, high school was all like. You walk in the front doors of the building and everything is interior.

[Danny G]

And some of your schools were stacked up, right?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, we had three floors of my school.

[Steve Covino]

They're like little kid prisons with cinder blocks.

[Danny G]

Yeah, our schools were spread out. All one?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no, we had three. Three levels. But it was all interior. Here in la, my kids, like, they, like, eat lunch outside. They walk into their classroom outdoors, like it's different. I only saw it in tv. All right, let's go to who, Danny? Who do we have?

[Danny G]

Let's talk to your boy Tripp in Vegas.

[Rich Davis]

Yo, what up, Tripp?

[Caller]

Hello, gentlemen. I got three. But I want to say one thing real quick to everybody listening. Do not think you can't meet Rich and Covino in the crowd. Please come out. You guys waited one night for me just to meet me. An hour. So please, everybody, come see them. They will spend time with everyone thank you, buddy.

[Rich Davis]

The most interactive. We are so appreciative of the listeners. This. The headcount's getting high. It's going to be the biggest party that we've ever had as a show. And we've been together a long time, so. I can't wait. Tripp.

[Caller]

All right, so here we go. 1. So I'm going to go in order the 10 lunchbox with the matching thermos that would break first day because it dented number two or three. A floppy disk in the 90s that doesn't even exist. And. And from the 80s, the number one thing you were most scared of. The paddle hanging on the wall. If you misbehave.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, there's no kids getting paddled.

[Rich Davis]

There's no. There's no sister whoever Catholic school, hitting the kids with the ruler.

[Steve Covino]

No, definitely not.

[Rich Davis]

He brought up a good one, though. He brought. He brought up a couple good ones. He got me thinking of the library and microfiche. The kids, even though it. Microfiche is hard. Catalog, catalogs and all that nonsense.

[Danny G]

They have never seen that in their life.

[Steve Covino]

No way.

[Rich Davis]

Danny G. Remember that? Weak ass. Works cited or bibliography you'd have to put together and you'd get all your sources at the library.

[Danny G]

Dewey Decimal System, please get out of here.

[Steve Covino]

Last time I saw microfiche was probably on like Dexter or something. Yeah. You know. Seriously, when's the last time you saw that? There's no way. And Tripp made me think of when he brought up the thermos and the lunchbox that we had growing up. I know exactly which ones he was talking about.

[Rich Davis]

Use the thermos.

[Steve Covino]

I did. Yeah. I used to use that bad boy. But it makes me think of the products that just really aren't around anymore. Like the Trapper Keepers that we often reference. Like, I loved my Trapper keeper as an 80s kid. You're not seeing that anymore? Not at all. All right. So things that you saw in the 80s 90s classroom that you don't see anymore.

[Rich Davis]

Do kids still rock the pencils where you could look like you' yourself a needle?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, they do those.

[Rich Davis]

You know, the pencils that you would.

[Steve Covino]

Like, what you buy the lead for?

[Danny G]

How about the troll pencil toppers?

[Rich Davis]

What about the pen that had the multicolors that you would click on the top?

[Steve Covino]

I tell them still those.

[Danny G]

Sam. I was gonna say that sounds like something Sam would have had a collection of.

[Steve Covino]

Everyone always tried to get all four colors out at the same time. Wouldn't it work? But you couldn't.

[Caller]

I have One. How about this? The school compass. Not a compass. You think about finding directions, but the compass where it was the pencil. In one, you make a circle, and then you make a circle. I don't know if kids cause that one. The point where you stuck it into the. Into the desk. That's, like, sharp. That could be a weapon.

[Steve Covino]

You know what, Sam? We all have kids. My daughter's a teenager now. She's never once asked me, like, dad, we got to go buy a compass. So maybe you're right.

[Danny G]

A protractor.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Yeah. Never. Not once.

[Rich Davis]

Protractor. Holy Nikes, Danny.

[Caller]

Describe the protractor again, protector.

[Rich Davis]

We look like a half a circle.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

With angles.

[Caller]

Yeah. And then, like, the right angle thing, the little device for geometry.

[Steve Covino]

So things you saw then that you don't see now. School wrapped up this week. Who we got?

[Danny G]

Danny J. Kentucky. Our boy Nick.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Kentucky. What's up? What's up, Nick?

[Caller]

Hey, man, you all took a lot.

[Steve Covino]

Of mine, but I'm.

[Caller]

I'm gonna say the food pyramid is.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly opposite of what it is. Was in the 80s. It's. So. Yeah. We were told the worst advice on, like, health and fitness and food categories and everything. Like, they were clueless. They were clueless. Joe Jackson in the 80s with food stuff.

[Steve Covino]

Well, you know what I've noticed, and I know this isn't everywhere. It's regional. There's regional differences. We're here in Los Angeles, right? When I was a kid, and when we were kids of the 80s, the kid that brought their lunch was sort of the weird kid, right? As you got older, right? If you were in high school, you just. You bought your lunch at school, right?

[Rich Davis]

Now you're in la. You brought your lunch where I went to school.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, you like the weenie a nerd.

[Rich Davis]

Because you know what? What you wanted to do is mom give you, like, two bucks because you wanted pizza or PBJ or whatever they had pizza Taco Bo. If you. Because you wanted to go on the lunch line and chop it up with the other kids.

[Steve Covino]

Pork roll on a bun.

[Rich Davis]

Get your little cookies. You get your little. Remember the. The wax triangle. Push up like Ice pop.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You would get all that crap. If a kid brought, like, a pbj. I was like, what's wrong with you?

[Steve Covino]

Yes. And now from. Again, everything's different. But my daughter's in high school now. The people that get the lunch at the school and don't bring their own are almost like, what's wrong with you? Yeah, it's the opposite Someone's like, what are you, poor or something? What's going on? Why are you. Why are you eating school lunch? Because it's so bad.

[Caller]

I used to beg my folks to. I brought my lunch pretty much through junior high school from, you know, K through whatever, K through 8. And I used to beg them, I can I just get a school lunch once a week? Because, like, I wanted that hot pizza, that hamburger patty.

[Rich Davis]

Sloppy joe.

[Caller]

Yes, exactly.

[Rich Davis]

No, they didn't call it hamburger. You know why? Because meat patty, it was called the beef patty on a bun because it wasn't the quality enough to be called technically a hamburger. Fun fact. So if you went to school and it was like, today, beef patty on.

[Steve Covino]

A bun on a bun.

[Rich Davis]

You know why they didn't say hamburger? Because to call it a hamburger, it.

[Steve Covino]

Has to be a certain.

[Caller]

It needs to be a certain, like, sirloin. Actual ground meat.

[Danny G]

Did you guys have taco boats?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, he just said that when you were at Taco Boat.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, Taco boats, Danny.

[Danny G]

That's one of my patties. Biggest memories from the cafeteria.

[Rich Davis]

So funny that Kavino. That's so right. You know, when you go back to your old college, the bars that were cool are now lame. And the lame bars, they're cool. Like, it just changes.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Kavino brought up a good point. We have to reiterate that when you were a kid, if you grew up in the 80s or 90s, if you brought your lunch, or a weirdo, if you. You wanted to buy the school lunch would be cool.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. As you got older.

[Rich Davis]

Now, if you get the school lunch, as there's almost a vibe of, like, you're getting the school lunch.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Like, oh, it's like prison food.

[Steve Covino]

Our mom and dad on vacation or something. Yeah.

[Danny G]

Like, are you not healthy about the cafeteria? Something you would never see nowadays in high school, I think it was like this in junior high, middle school as well in California. Here, if, say, you had a family where they were struggling a little bit, like a single mom, and so they assisted her with paying for the lunch, they'd give you a pink ticket every day. The kids who paid for the lunch with full money paid their parents, paid the full price, had a green ticket. So all of us with the pink ticket were looked at as these poor bastards.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that sucks.

[Danny G]

Oh, you're one of the poor kids and rich. They would not let you get the premium items in the cafeteria.

[Rich Davis]

Sorry, Danny, you have a pink ticket.

[Steve Covino]

Oh.

[Caller]

They had alternate lunches for both dietary and for financial reasons.

[Danny G]

So. What A friend of a friend of mine, what we would do, we would wait until almost the end of lunch and then go in. They had nothing left except some of the premium stuff. They'd have to give us the good stuff.

[Steve Covino]

You know what else you wouldn't find? DANNY G. Fox Sports Radio Nation. I'm going to blow your mind. The art of the origami notes or the little notes being passed shaped like footballs that we would play with at lunch. Because kids are just texting each other all day. They're not passing notes. Does not happen.

[Rich Davis]

I was cleaning up some boxes recently in the guest bedroom of, hey, old school memory sports memorabilia, you know, high school stuff. And I saw a bunch of random like love notes from like high school girlfriends mixed in with like, you know, like baseball stuff. And I thought about how our kids generation, they won't write each other little cute teenage love notes because they're just not sending. Texting each other.

[Steve Covino]

Right? Yeah. Inappropriate things.

[Rich Davis]

How many times would you try to scope out that girl in between periods to hand her a note?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you know what else you won't see in my high school? In my high school we had like a smoking area. I don't think you'll see that anymore.

[Rich Davis]

Is there a baby? Is there a vaping area now?

[Steve Covino]

I don't know. I don't know. But we did have a smoking area where kids would go there during lunchtime.

[Rich Davis]

But there may be a weed area for anxiety.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly right. Things you don't see in schools anymore, but we were subject to in the 80s and 90s. We do this on Thursdays. We throw it back old school and 50 hits. And we're going to get back to your phone calls now. 87799 on Fox.

[Danny G]

Yeah, thank you for all the calls coming in. Adam in Waco.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, what's up, Adam?

[Caller]

Hey. We had those red hot radiators that we would take the skin off our crayons and melt them all over the place.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. The fact that, the fact that you as a kid could have leaned into one of those hot radiators. Yeah, that's.

[Caller]

They would also make banging sounds and like, like, because it was like getting, getting the heat going.

[Danny G]

That makes me think of the very unsafe playground toys too for the little kids at elementary schools back in the day.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no doubt.

[Danny G]

Steel springs rusted.

[Steve Covino]

Did you guys have like a red box in your grammar schools where they would open it up in the summertime? Do you know what I'm talking about or. No. Every grade school.

[Rich Davis]

What popped out of it?

[Steve Covino]

No, every grade School. I'm from New Jersey and in the summertime there would be a red box that they opened up so that you can go to the playgrounds and play with the kickballs and the knock hockeys and the paddles and they'd give you basketball.

[Danny G]

Sports equipment.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, sports equipment. I don't see kids going to the local playground, opening up some sort of thing like that like we had in the 80s.

[Rich Davis]

I haven't seen. Not cocky in a minute.

[Steve Covino]

That's what I mean. Like they had all that stuff in the red box that they would open up for summertime activities for kids that were just going there to play.

[Rich Davis]

My daughter is only just wrapped up second grade, but she was talking about how she would play kickball with some of the boys and a couple of the girls at rece. And I asked her, I go, when you kick the ball, can you peg someone to get him out? She's like, no, you have to throw the base. Like I think the newer rules might be maybe until they get older, but like, remember you used to be able to just take someone with the ball.

[Steve Covino]

And you were able to call your pitch too straight or bouncy.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know.

[Steve Covino]

Straight or bouncy. Anyway, things you don't see anymore. 877-99-FOX. Who do we got?

[Danny G]

Danny G. Okay, let's talk to John in the San Fernando Valley.

[Steve Covino]

What's up, John?

[Caller]

No more American flags up on the walls.

[Rich Davis]

I see that. There's an American flag of my kids school.

[Steve Covino]

You know, there was a moment, but I think they're back now.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I see it. Yeah, they do the pledge every Friday. Go to assembly every Friday. They do it.

[Steve Covino]

Well, because there was a moment where people stopped pledging the flag, but I think, you know that that changed.

[Danny G]

It varies from state to state.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah, no, they do it every. Every Friday morning. My kids, school, Same.

[Danny G]

Let's talk to Austin. Let's see. Jordan.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, what up, Jordan? Hey, how's it going, guys?

[Caller]

So I know y' all mentioned the overhead projector, but how about the old school projector with a light bulb and you had to like draw on the clear film.

[Steve Covino]

That's kind of what we were talking about. I thought you were gonna say like the old film project, the film strip projector. It went beep and you have to press the button.

[Danny G]

Oh, like in gremlins.

[Steve Covino]

Like the film strip.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, that would.

[Steve Covino]

That would be nap time for me in any classroom. 87799 on Fox. We'll take a few more. Who do we got?

[Rich Davis]

No Offense to the school nurses out there. They're doing great work, but. Yeah, are the nurses a little more efficient now? Because I feel like the joke in my school was whatever it was, the nurse would just give you an ice pack.

[Steve Covino]

That is true. Remember, they would give you the hearing test, though, when you were a kid.

[Rich Davis]

Do they still do. Do they still do the lice? The lice test with the sticks.

[Steve Covino]

You have to raise your hand. Okay, I heard it.

[Rich Davis]

Left, left hand, right hand, heard it.

[Steve Covino]

So things you don't see at schools that you saw growing up, do they.

[Rich Davis]

Give the scoliosis test anymore?

[Steve Covino]

I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

Like, let me see your back, dude.

[Danny G]

Rich got a polio shot.

[Steve Covino]

Can I tell you a story? This is the truth. When I was a kid in, like, junior high, I think it was, like, sixth grade, junior high time, there would be a guy that came around, did a scoliosis test, right? We'd have to get out in our tighty whities, lined up, basically doing the elephant walk with each other in front of the whole, like, all the girls in our tighty whities bending over while they checked our spines.

[Caller]

That doesn't sound right.

[Steve Covino]

How embarrassing is that? I didn't say he was slapping our asses.

[Rich Davis]

Are you sure this was approved or did you just get.

[Steve Covino]

You know what? Maybe it was a fantasy I had.

[Danny G]

You know what the state of California used to do at our elementary schools? They would have the kids line up outside and give us each a cup of fluoride.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, wow. No, I don't remember that.

[Danny G]

You would never see that nowadays.

[Rich Davis]

No, I. I got. I got one more, and then we'll.

[Steve Covino]

But they would line us up to check our backs like that in front of all the kids. It was so embarrassing.

[Rich Davis]

I got one more. We'll wrap it up with the phone calls, then we'll talk some NBA, some NFL. We'll get to it. I think this is too dangerous. Now. I could be wrong. You could correct me, but I feel like this is long gone. The idea of a kid in a gymnasium climbing that huge rope with no real padding underneath.

[Steve Covino]

I haven't seen that. Like, I haven't even heard the reference until Wayne and Garth talks about it.

[Rich Davis]

There's always, like, the girl or skinny kid that could do it. And they'd go to, like, this kind of thing.

[Caller]

Like when you climb the rope in gym class.

[Danny G]

Saw that in the Police Academy movies.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but does any. Do you know of your kids? Anyone with kids? Have you ever heard them be like, today we climbed the Rope in gym class.

[Caller]

That takes incredible strength, by the way.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but I always thought it was wild.

[Steve Covino]

I was good at that, though.

[Rich Davis]

There was like a flimsy pad at the bottom, by the way. Can I brag? Kid would go all the way up.

[Steve Covino]

I want to brag, Rich, because I do hold the Union High School sit up record. 72 sit ups in a minute, but 83 farts and it has yet to.

[Rich Davis]

I feel bad for the president that had to hold your ankles.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Hey, man, add that to your.

[Steve Covino]

See that in any high school Little.

[Danny G]

League home runs, your setups. All right, let's wrap up for now on the calls. Brian in Mississippi.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Brian. Go ahead, buddy.

[Caller]

Hey, man. I just joined in, so I don't. I don't know if this has been said yet or not, but what about an old school pencil fight?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you're not going to see that. No way. Those are. And you know what? We would have kids that would come in with like big, giant red carpenter pencils. Like that doesn't count.

[Danny G]

Remember the pencils that would bend?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Pencil fighting was a big deal. We did say the pencil. The, the. The pencil sharpener. How would you even describe that thing?

[Rich Davis]

The pencil sharpener was like screwed into the. It was like an old industrial.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, the old.

[Caller]

And emptying the thing was fun. You always been like those shavings?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah. Is this, Was this just a New York thing? I was saying obviously from Iowa. Danny west coast. Covino, Jersey.

[Caller]

I'm actually from Delaware.

[Rich Davis]

Delaware. You and Joe Biden.

[Steve Covino]

We're in Delaware.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Rich Davis]

Do you remember, like the cootie shot?

[Steve Covino]

Circle, circle, dot, dot.

[Rich Davis]

Now you got the cootie shot. And people would scratch the top of their hand and leave like a mark.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Were you ever inducted into the Pen15 club or no? Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Come here, let me write Pen15 on you.

[Steve Covino]

Well, you know what? We'll wrap up your phone calls next. How about that?

[Rich Davis]

And we'll talk some NBA final. Hey, what does it look like for.

[Steve Covino]

The Thunder and Dodgers if we have time?

[Rich Davis]

There's a Dodger story and it has to do with food. And we'll get to all that next right here. Kavino and Rich.

[Steve Covino]

All right. Hey, Travis, Matthew, love it. The polos, the tees, the button ups, the crisp T shirts, the MLB collection. You can actually see us rocking our Mets and Yankees MLB collection once in a new post at Fox Sports Radio on the Instagram at Covino and Rich, crispy, versatile, always in style. The button ups ready to go wherever you go. And Rich, I don't know if you know this, there's a lot of guys out there that are hesitant. Most packages they get are for their wives or girlfriends. Not many of them for you because, you know, sometimes there's a hassle there. Travis Matthew offers free shipping and free returns for rewards members. So no worries there. All right.

[Rich Davis]

And let's also point out it's summertime. Their shorts are nicely fitted. They're the right length. You don't got these big, long, boxy shorts that just show that you haven't bought new shorts in like a decade. Oh, yes, you don't, you don't got the Adam Sandler special. These are nice, fitted, perfect material, lightweight. Whether you're traveling, taking it easy, going to the beach, going golfing, perfect shorts as well. All this high quality stuff. Travismathieu.com and you're going to get 20% off your first order. Just sign up for the email. It's that simple.

[Steve Covino]

Oh yeah. Steve Carell's dad, Steve Carell's real dad, Alice Cooper. You ever see him side by side? Same guy. School's out for summer. School finish this week here in California. Lots of kids graduate and getting ready for the summer. Winding down everywhere else. By the way, Alice Cooper playing Rocklahoma Three Day Festival in Oklahoma. Prior Oklahoma, August 29th, 30th and 31st.

[Rich Davis]

My only Alice Cooper reference is the fact that he was in Jake the Snake's corner at a WrestleMania when we were kids.

[Steve Covino]

I'll give you two more. How about this mealy walke? He's in Wayne's world.

[Rich Davis]

That's true.

[Caller]

Actually, it's pronounced me walke, which is Algonquin for the good lamb.

[Steve Covino]

And when you're done with, I don't know, whatever you're watching tonight, I'm watching.

[Rich Davis]

Tires with Shane Gillis. And season two is better than season one. It's really good.

[Steve Covino]

When you're done with the NHL, Stanley cup final tonight or baseball, whatever.

[Rich Davis]

Like I said, I'm watching Tires with Shane Gill.

[Steve Covino]

Well, there's a Led Zeppelin documentary becoming Led Zeppelin on Netflix. It's new and it shows. In the early days, they show all the lineups and stuff like that, like they were playing with Alice Cooper, like early, early on in their career. So anyway, school's out for summer. It got us thinking about things you don't see in the classroom anymore, things we saw in the 80s and 90s, but you don't see today. And we're gonna get one final call and move on. But we talked about the old School paper football. And you'd play at lunch. And would you play basketball with a quarter?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

You play basketball or you don't see kids?

[Danny G]

Oh, we played quarters against the wall. Whoever came closest won the quarters.

[Steve Covino]

I doubt you see spitballs in the classroom anymore. I haven't heard one kid again, my daughter's in her say, yeah. And so. And so got. And little Kyler got kicked out because he spit. Had a spitball. Never heard that.

[Rich Davis]

You know what, though? What game? I wonder if kids still play. Maybe they change the name. There were two names up. There were asses up. Or we called it suicide too, which is probably inappropriate nowadays, but smear the blank. Yeah, but you would. You would throw the ball against the wall. If you bobbled it, you had a run before someone grabbed the ball and pegged you with it. And then if you spelt out ass, you'd have to stand against the wall while all your buddies got one shot to just straight up nail you with the ball.

[Commercial Voice]

They pinched you with it.

[Danny G]

We had to. The throw. Had to beat the runner to the wall.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no. See, there were alternate versions. We had actually hit the guy.

[Steve Covino]

We are live from FOX Sports Radio studio. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping tires. Has been helping customers find the right tires.

[Rich Davis]

Helping tires find owners.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's true. For how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Thanks again to our good friends@ TireRack.com the way Tire buying should be. Let's wrap it up with our last.

[Danny G]

Call, Danny G. Let's go to New York gre.

[Commercial Voice]

Yo, Greg.

[Rich Davis]

Greg. What's up, man?

[Steve Covino]

What's going on, guys?

[Rich Davis]

Hey.

[Steve Covino]

Well, I just want to let you know I'm sipping out of my CNR swiggy right now.

[Rich Davis]

Nice.

[Caller]

But what I wanted to say about.

[Steve Covino]

The school thing, textbooks wrapped in brown paper grocery bags. Oh, mom would hook that up.

[Rich Davis]

That's so funny.

[Steve Covino]

And if your mom didn't do it for you, she didn't love you.

[Rich Davis]

That's true. And the inside always like the inside of your book said, like shopper, right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, absolutely. And you would, you know, draw some band logos on it, have some hot girls sign it.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, good one.

[Steve Covino]

And you'd see all the previous owners of that book.

[Caller]

Did you guys ever have the elastic, like, stretchy, the fabric that you would put over the textbooks? Maybe that was more of a my generation.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, he had the brown paper bag.

[Caller]

It was like just a spandex sleeve that you Would put over the COVID and the back cover.

[Steve Covino]

Fancy stuff.

[Danny G]

I always reminds me of the peachy folders too.

[Rich Davis]

Did you grow up on the moon, Sam?

[Steve Covino]

Are you from the future?

[Caller]

Yes.

Just search over promised. All right, now, baseball, funny side up, baseball. Now, a lot of people are saying screw the Dodgers, but I can second that. But there's a big butt.

[Rich Davis]

You like big butts.

[Steve Covino]

I cannot lie. But this is awesome. Dodgers have added new menu items this summer. They've added a buzzball cocktail and a frozen cocktail cocktail bat to their drink menus.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no one loves frozen cocktails more than Covino.

[Steve Covino]

These look so good. Check these out again. It's a money grab, there's no doubt about that.

[Rich Davis]

But on a hot summer day, how.

[Steve Covino]

You not grabbing one of these bad boys? A bat of icy. Basically it's an icy bat but with alcohol and then this giant fishbowl of whatever that is, a buzzball.

[Caller]

Have you guys seen the buzz ball? They're like these little spheres. They sell it like 7 11. They're just little cocktail drinks.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's it.

[Rich Davis]

They make one of those, but it's.

[Steve Covino]

A big Dodgers one.

[Rich Davis]

Like that one time I was in D.C. and I know this because I get an email from the Washington Nationals every day since I bought those tickets and I can't get them to stop.

[Caller]

It's called unsubscribe.

[Rich Davis]

I know.

[Steve Covino]

How much you willing to pay for one of those bad boys? The bat looks pretty significant, but they.

[Rich Davis]

Gotta be like 20 bucks. Yeah, 20 bucks easily. I was in D.C. and I happened to go to a Mets Nationals game. It was no joke. Like your leg would burn on the seat. We happen to be there 100 degree day. My wife and I got trashed off of those big frozen drinks. They are so good at a ball. Can I tell you this? They are so tasty.

[Steve Covino]

This is an actual conversation I had at the last Yankees Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium. Him, our buddy. We cool enough to hook me up. I had a blast, right? We sat in the Cool. I heart suite, the Fox Sports radio suite that we got there. And in the suite, you know, it's free dogs, Dodger dogs, fruit drinks, meatballs. Yeah, man, they hooked it up. It was great. And I'm not bragging, I'm just telling you how it went down. Sweet perks. And I really wanted to get another drink. I didn't want to have the drinks day. I wanted to get a drink and my girlfriend was like, do you really need one? And I'm like, I'm at a ball game. Yeah, kind of.

[Rich Davis]

Why should I shut you down?

[Caller]

That's such a judgmental question.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, Mr. Bloody need that. Do you realize that I'm at a ball game? So, yeah, it's part of the experience. If I'm having a Doyer dog, I want to watch down with at least one bruja. Is that so wrong? Am I a bad guy? So anyway, based on the new Dodger drink menu, I don't think you really need that. What he needs booze. What's the one thing that you can't leave the ballpark without?

[Rich Davis]

I'll give you a.

[Steve Covino]

Because it has to be the. Even though these drinks look delicious, is it the helmet with the ice cream?

[Rich Davis]

I'm a schoolboy. It could be a Dodgers game, Angels, Mets.

[Steve Covino]

Is it always the plastic helmet?

[Rich Davis]

I can't leave a ball game without in about the sixth or seventh inning, getting vanilla soft serve in an upside down helmet.

[Steve Covino]

I want to bring my. I want to bring my own John Allrood size helmet and say, hey, can you fill this up with soft serve and extra sprinkles, please? I am with you, Rich. I think that's the number one. Like it might be a hot dog or a sausage or something special or a drink or a beer. This special cocktail. But for me, it's still that ice cream helmet.

[Danny G]

Bringing Bruce Bochy's old helmet.

[Caller]

Sunday sliders.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I'll say this an old Kevin Mensch, I don't like the Yankees. You know this. I'm a Mets fan, but when I go to Yankee Stadium, those garlic fries you may not want, you may not kiss someone or talk to anyone close for a week, but those are insane.

[Steve Covino]

Is it as an adult, is it a junk food item or is it a cocktail alcohol item? Is it one of those tall boys or is it one of these new buzz ball?

[Danny G]

Yeah, these Dodger buzz balls are vodka, rum, tequila, 100% juices.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, dude, these look so good. And it gets so hot. So I could see these selling out. I'm surprised it took this long.

[Rich Davis]

I think the lesson to be learned here is when you go to the ball game, they gotcha. And you know what? Indulge. The ball game is for ice cream and.

[Steve Covino]

But you really need a beer.

[Rich Davis]

I think I do.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Yes.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update. DB what's going on, man?

[Caller]

Guys, Dodgers getting ready to start a series with the Giants this weekend at Dodger Stadium. Those Giants fell to the Rockies today eight to seven. Yes. San Francisco giving up three runs in the bottom of the ninth, allowing the Rockies to pull out victory and to avoid the three game sweep. Your Mets were a winner today. But some bad news. Kodai Senga had to leave because of a hamstring strain in the 43 win against the Nationals. He'll have an MRI tomorrow. Expected to go on the injured list. Rangers Top the Twins today 16 3. While just underway in Baltimore are the Tigers and Orioles. Some news from the NBA. ESPN reports that there's traction on deals that could send Kevin Durant out of Phoenix. We know that the Rockets, Timberwolves, Spurs, Knicks and Heat were teams mentioned by ESPN as possible destinations for Durant, with Sham Sharania saying that sooner rather than later, a trade could get done as teams are motivated to do a deal tonight. Stanley Cup Final game for oilers and Panthers, 8 o' clock Eastern Time. Panthers up to one in the series. New York Rangers today traded Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks now for the US Open. Been watching it all day long and I keep on seeing J.J. spawn's name atop the leaderboard. It has not moved four under power 66 for Spawn today. He's currently one shot clear of a group at three under par that includes Tristan Lawrence, who shot three under 67. Brooks Koepka, who's won this event twice, is two under par after a round of 68.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, thanks. Hey, Dan, I know you're a huge golf fan. Any, any interest in Stick on Apple tv. I started it. Owen Wilson, he's almost like a washed up golfer and he finds some young kid to like mentor. It's like a comedy but it's dark. Have you watched it?

[Caller]

Yeah. No, I haven't. We ditched app TV a little while ago, so.

[Rich Davis]

[Steve Covino]

Which by the way, which one would you go for? That buzz ball or the icy bat?

[Rich Davis]

Oh yeah. If it's like a hundred degree day in the valley and you're at you're at a Dodger stadium, I don't know, I might go the frozen one Frozen.

[Steve Covino]

Cocktail bat looks really good.

[Rich Davis]

Based on that, I bet you monsieur would put back three of those and and have stumble to the passenger seat of an Uber.

[Steve Covino]

Easily, easily.

[Rich Davis]

Yo, monsieur. She doesn't hear.

[Steve Covino]

She's not listening. Yeah, but she'll put some down for sure.

[Rich Davis]

Monsieur, this new Dodger blue ice drink, I feel like you'd put down like three of them.

[Steve Covino]

No, she says no. It's probably really sweet. I'm not about that one. What's your item that you can't leave without? Like I have to get one of those before ice Cream and a hell helmet. A pretzel ice cream and a helmet is good. I don't know if we still have it, but we had a fried peanut butter, banana and jelly dessert that was to die for. Oh my God.

[Rich Davis]

Isn't part of going to ball game though eating something gross? You have to eat one gross thing at a ballpark. I don't think you could go to the game and be like, I ate healthy.

[Steve Covino]

Well, let me ask you this.

[Caller]

Everything's gross.

[Rich Davis]

Where you binge your bad food.

[Steve Covino]

Before we move on, how many dogs do you think you could down, Moshe, She's a vegetarian. Well, I could have a Dodger. A veggie dog. We have those. How many veggie dogs could you get yet? I've done four in a ball game. Three. Not four, but I died. I died. Really? Yeah. You came back to life?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And then came back to life and locked my car. Is this Monty's ghost?

[Rich Davis]

My 5 year old son had 3 dodger dogs when we went last week. So. Wow, we saw that. Dan Patrick's one of his behind the scenes guys. What's his call?

[Steve Covino]

Dylan, the graphics guy, the brg, the back room guy. He's a brg. He dominated that hot dog challenge that people have been talking about. 999.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, the nine hot dogs, nine beers, nine innings. And I wonder like he crushed it, is that something? Like he had way more beers.

[Steve Covino]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

So props to him, Dylan, the graphics guy. But do you think that's something you could comfortably do or No?

[Steve Covino]
