Let's go right, all right now, all right, Thursday, we do something called old school Win fifty HiT's, we reminisce and we throw it back. And on this day in eighty six, the Fox Network launched and their whole angle was We're edgy. Oh yeah, and I think it was led by married to a children person. Honestly, it took a couple of years for the network to build some steam.

00:01:29
Speaker 1: But I think if you want to say, what's the.

00:01:31
Speaker 2: Trifecta of early Fox days, married with children, Simpson's in living color stick out to me. But Spotty, our video guy was saying, you gotta remember, like twenty one Jump Street Cops was a big show, America's.

00:01:44
Speaker 1: What was it? What was the video on h Totally hidden video, totally.

00:01:50
Speaker 2: Hidden video, That's what it was. I'm sorry, and America is most wanted. That was sort of like so yeah, and again you gotta remember for the time, if you're younger than us, yeah, it may have seen normal to you, but back then, nothing like that was on television, on regular network television. So this became the fourth major network and it changed away. We watched, so on this day we throw it back in reminisce and we get you involved on what was considered edgy. Well, there was something also a little more diverse and edgy about Fox. Because keep in mind, like if you think CBS has always been like very vanilla, very like middle America safe CBS, Fox came out. Oh I thought when you said vanilla, it means like there was no chocolate involved. There was no uh, it was nothing else involved. Honestly, CBS still gets criticized, right, They're like, they're just very white, especial and spicy and and truthfully, like I always to this day, a little sprinkle of time till till this day, Danny g And I don't think I'm saying anything revolutionary here. I think Jim Carrey benefited more than anyone else based on how he was the one white dude or your predominantly black sketch comedy show and Living Color. And I think if you ask a lot of you, if you asked any of your black friends, Ye'll give me like a white comic you like Gary Owen, Gary Owen and Jim Carrey. And Jim Carrey really was the crossover, you know, culturally, And I think when he started coming out with movies, I think all all your friends that were aftering at American were like, yo, Jim Carrey's my dude. So without a doubt, but again, this was way edgy for the time and it sort of opened the floodgates. It's when like printal advisory albums were also a big deal right, So take you back to those cartoons, those albums, the music, the movies that were edgy, and you'd lower the volume where you'd change the channel when your mom walked in on you, and I think of I don't know if it was meant to be edgy, but it was a little on the perverted side.

00:03:53
Speaker 1: What's up?

00:03:54
Speaker 2: My dad would be watching Benny Hill as a kid, and I would watch with him, and they would they would be women in lingerie running around on all over the place. Willard go wid that's his Willard. It was great because you'd sit there as a kid. My dad would be laughing his ass off, but I'd be like, whoa, what's up?

00:04:14
Speaker 1: Willard?

00:04:15
Speaker 3: Hey, what's up? Covino? What's up? Rich? What's up? Diamonds and Pearls? Diamond Dan? You know you know how long I've been listening Diamond Dan. Anyways, Guys, I used to have a string hooked up to my TV to where I can turn it off because it had to switch. I could turn it. I can make the string and turn it off before my mom walked in. And yes, Bennie Hill was one, but the real one, the real one, the real one was on Showtime and it was after hours. He man, you will, you will.

00:04:49
Speaker 1: I love that. I remember that.

00:04:51
Speaker 2: I love if you had that box too. We had a box with the wire, the box of the wire. Before we had like I don't know, your regular remote was an analog cable cable box. If you pressed three channels just a certain way, the right way, you'd get that scrambled Playboy or Spice channel.

00:05:09
Speaker 1: And again that's what we're talking about.

00:05:11
Speaker 4: The cable boxes that had the turn knobs. You could also like hold it in between two of the pay channels and get it to unscramble. But my brother would like get a baseball card folded and happen stick it in there so that it would hold the position, or.

00:05:25
Speaker 1: He would just make you hold it.

00:05:27
Speaker 2: Your imagination would run because you swear you see some crazy stuff.

00:05:30
Speaker 4: He watched the show called Lady Chatterly on Cinemax.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember Lady channeling. I remember Late Night.

00:05:36
Speaker 2: Skin Ax was pretty edgy for the time for you know, a regular cable channel. But back to Benny Hill. You know, Benny Hill would be patting the old guy in the head. But they be running around in fast speed to that song with all these women with their with their.

00:05:50
Speaker 1: Ghibli bits hanging out for the most so you're like, whoa. I remember, as I've joked before, I used to.

00:05:59
Speaker 2: I used to take some of those late night Cinemax movies on VHS tapes and label them forty nine Ers Game, so that my mom would never you know, I'd be like forty nine ers Bears Monday Night. Meanwhile it would be do you remember Bikini car Wash Company? Out also perverted eighties comedies. There was one that I I'll never remember the name, but it was a dude that made a wish and the genie was like really hot.

00:06:24
Speaker 1: It was like something on a beach. Is this just a fantasy? I had no, But if everyone.

00:06:29
Speaker 2: What I'm talking about, Miracle Kazam was Shaquille O'Neil, is it miracle beach?

00:06:33
Speaker 1: Is that possible?

00:06:34
Speaker 2: So anyway, if you know, let us know. At eight seven seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, and I'm gonna give you one more. I gave you Benny Hill and he agreed, Thanks for the call.

00:06:42
Speaker 1: Man.

00:06:42
Speaker 2: On the music front, I remember how how naughty and wild and rebellious I felt listening to Twisted Sister as a kid. Maybe for you that was Nwa or even run DMC early on or something, or dare I say the genre of rep sid Sister for me was that band Parental Advisory D Snyder actually fought that right, but I would have to lower it. If I heard my mom coming up the steps and I was listening to You're Gonna Burn in Hell, Ah Burn in Hell, I'd have to lower it that because I'm like, I know what my mom wol think I'm some sort of devil worshiper, and that it was a different time. My aunts would go to my mom, are you sure you want Stephen listening to that? So I'd have these posters in my room, but that's what was considered edgy. Yes the time, does it start you to let something like you were listening to it? If I would you if I could just kill a man?

00:07:33
Speaker 5: Oh?

00:07:33
Speaker 2: That was the only time my dad. Yeah, it was the only time. My dad sort of reprimanded me. I was listening to the O G Cypress Hill. Hey, ri is something you can't understand? How could just kill him?

00:07:44
Speaker 6: Man?

00:07:45
Speaker 1: My dad came in.

00:07:46
Speaker 7: Amen, that's what you're listening to killing main that you listen to me? And I was like, I don't know, so I peril you want to kill people would row with you. But that was that was nineties, right, But we're going eighty six. But whatever that story is for you, there's rules here. Yeah, we're talking about.

00:08:03
Speaker 2: What you remember pushing the envelope that now when you look back, really is nothing. Danny, I'll say it again. He brings up the music. I think the genre of rap in itself was there.

00:08:14
Speaker 4: Was a lane in My mom used to tell me, why can't you just listen to the positive rap because there was like, you know, gangster rap.

00:08:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was.

00:08:22
Speaker 4: There were different kinds of rap.

00:08:24
Speaker 2: Guys like Snoop Dogg and guys like Ice Cube are like family friendly dudes, right now, those were the most bad dudes on planet.

00:08:30
Speaker 1: Earth at one point. There was definitely edgy, there's no question about them.

00:08:33
Speaker 4: On Yeah, there were rappers like Chuck D and kras One and guys like that that were trying to teach you something. And I know because of kr as well, right, and then there was NWA and some of the gangster rap. And my mommy remember those MEMORYX tapes that were like pink and yellow swirl colors. Of course, my mom was curious about what was on some of those tapes in my bedroom while I was at school. She listened and it was nw A how to blank a blank, and she lost her mind. When I got home from school, she said, just because we're in this environment we're in we were in LA at the time, doesn't mean you could listen to this raunchy music edgy either you listened to the Either you listened to positive rap.

00:09:12
Speaker 1: Music or no rap music.

00:09:14
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, And so you know, I had to be very careful with what music I was even djaying on my turntables in my bedrooms.

00:09:22
Speaker 1: Kimino's mom give him a Karen Carpenter CD the cassette and said, how about this?

00:09:25
Speaker 2: Even I'm like, no, christ and sister, I want to rock. But you know, back to TV too. I don't think anyone's gonna say it, so I'll say it. Andrew Dice Clay was as edgy as a guy because he was doing nursery rhymes. You vibed with that as a kid, but you didn't want your mom hearing, you repeated him at a recess. Yeah it was, but you played dumb.

00:09:47
Speaker 1: When your mom's like, well, what's that?

00:09:51
Speaker 2: You know, let's go the phone calls and on the anniversary of Fox debuting, and again it just pushed the envelope with in living color and like we said, the Simpsons and married with children what used to be considered pushing the envelope. Looking back, it's pretty funny that should we blame Fox for opening up the floodgates?

00:10:09
Speaker 1: Are we better off with all this smut and runch?

00:10:13
Speaker 2: I have a few more great examples, but I don't want to steal them, So let's go to Boo in Texas.

00:10:17
Speaker 1: We'll start with you. What's up, Boat?

00:10:18
Speaker 2: Hey, boot Hey, we're here you man?

00:10:21
Speaker 1: What what? What was considered raunchy or or edgy back in the day.

00:10:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, so my mom was pretty cool, like stuff like Saturday Night Live she thought was pretty edgy, but she let us watch it, like me and my brother and even some of the late night stuff on HBO. But she was like, don't don't ever tell anybody outside the house, like, don't talk about it at school and all this kind of stuff. Until my brother brought home the first two Live.

00:10:49
Speaker 1: Crew, Oh forget about even the album cover was edgy.

00:10:53
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:10:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, he kind of snuck it in and he was like, look what I got And we never we never played.

00:10:59
Speaker 2: That one out, dude, there's smut everywhere now right, I mean, listen, the younger generation. What's that fact that one out of ten girls eighteen to twenty five has our own OnlyFans page? Like we live in a world where, yeah, people tame. I remember bringing home, Like if you brought home a like a post of a girl big boobs from Spencer's Gifts and put on your wall, your mom might have been like, what are you doing? My mom had a heart attack when I took down my Don Matting the Hitman poster to put up some Cindy Crawford really quick.

00:11:29
Speaker 4: Just to go back to what you were saying a minute ago about how it opened things up, it did off the air, Iowa Sam was saying that we got to see a lot of good programming that we would have missed out on. And also it was some creative freedom that we still wouldn't have maybe because I worked at NBC Sports Radio prior to this network. Most of the stuff, I'll say eighty percent of what we joke about on this show and what we're able to do, I couldn't do on that network. We'd get yelled at because they wanted to be more a CBS. You know what Rich was saying before about bland and be careful and safe and all that. And because the Fox brand is somewhat irreverent, we're able to do things and have fun in a way that we normally wouldn't get to.

00:12:12
Speaker 2: Sure they were I'm thinking any rules. Technically, they were just pushing them as far as they could go. I'll tell you what, when we before here, we were I think we're a little less fun. At ESPN, they were a little you know, before they let McAfee so of just do what he wants.

00:12:25
Speaker 1: Before that they.

00:12:26
Speaker 2: Were very like, no, no, absolutely, so back to your phone calls because they got a bunch of answers. But what was considered edgy back then you want to tuck the trip.

00:12:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's go to Vegas. Hey, trip in Vegas.

00:12:38
Speaker 10: Hey, gentlemen, I've been watching you all on TV. I think you'll need money again and you're looking kind of thin around there. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna watch the Bikini Card Wash too when I get home on HBO. Max. That's a great one.

00:12:51
Speaker 3: Say back in the day.

00:12:53
Speaker 10: First parent advisory lyrics I had was Icy back when he was a rapper, and then Richard Pryor. I brought that home one time and they turned it on and the first words out of his mouth was the effort. My father's like, you turned that off? Yeah, I mean, because it was a look on their face the first word.

00:13:08
Speaker 1: So it's good. Yeah.

00:13:10
Speaker 2: Now, honestly, it's a lot of Eddie Murphy too, you're I mean, I remember my mom walking me out of movies, like pulling me by my ears because it would get too raunchy.

00:13:19
Speaker 1: I remember my mom walking out of like.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: I think it was like forty eight hours Eddie Murphy movies, like because of the language.

00:13:27
Speaker 1: Do you remember just a different time.

00:13:29
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, And now that you got me thinking of even deeper stuff, now, of course there's gonna be really good general answers, but specific movies and shows that had a scene that made you feel uncomfortable. But looking back now, it would be nothing in twenty twenty five tame. But maybe back then you were like, oh my god, because I just thought of one. We all watched this movie a million times as a kid, Goonies when they dropped the statue and the penis breaks off the statue. Oh my god, with that little scene when you pun attended with that scene when you you watch that and and you know, mouth is like, yeah, that's her favorite part of the statue that when watching that with your parents, I remember having stomach aches.

00:14:08
Speaker 1: They gluted upside down.

00:14:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, they when you were a weird part of the story, though, is when Rich told me this earlier. He said that giant penis, and I was like, what are you talking about.

00:14:18
Speaker 4: That is a great thought, though, Rich, because there were certain scenes in certain VHS tapes where our parents would make us hit the fast forward button top gun whenever that scene would come on where he finally hooked up with his instructor. Yeah, and it's I look back at it now, it's such a lame love scene, but my mom made us fast forward that every time.

00:14:36
Speaker 1: It's funny.

00:14:36
Speaker 2: My dad used to love the movie and probably still does. Bachelor Party, Oh yeah, I don't even know, an I don't know if I know that movie. And it's entirely because my dad would let me watch. But ever so often he would just be like, put a pillow in front your face with us, and I would I'd I'd have to do that. So I'm gonna steal a Danny g answer because I felt the same thing when we said, let's talk about this. When I was a kid, I remember listening to early Howard Stern because my dad would listen to him, and I remember he would get those Bungo fiestas he would order those early pay per views. I'd be sneaking down the stairs just to see what was going on, like what are they watching over here? But listening to those early radio programs, that was wow. That was way edgy for the time.

00:15:19
Speaker 4: I texted you guys this morning about this topic that in the early nineties, my mom would not let us have Howard when he was on E. She'd make us turn the channel. I watched so much Howard Stern on E.

00:15:29
Speaker 2: Well, because you remember the commercials that were there during that Girls Gone Wild commercials were those and Wild on would be on after that.

00:15:37
Speaker 11: Were those episodes of Howard Stern like of the time or were they like from years prior?

00:15:41
Speaker 1: Now I worked with all those dudes.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, that was that was going on before replays, but they were all current real time.

00:15:52
Speaker 11: They're on like eleven thirty at night on E. So were I was just that was what I watched as like a teenager. So funny, man, I have another one that I watched this with my mom at this show on ABC in the mid nineties, like actually late eighties, I think pushed the envelope. Do you guys know this theme NYPD blue for both language and nudity.

00:16:13
Speaker 1: This show was.

00:16:13
Speaker 11: Very edgy, very raunchy, very real, and also homicide Life on the Street we watched together.

00:16:19
Speaker 2: No, that's why it's a great answer, Sam, because you think from today's perspective of like this was edgy and it was that. That's how much things Yeah, that's how much life has changed. So let's get back to the phone calls, you know what, one more and then we'll go to the feedback. I don't think anyone's gonna say this one. Did you mentioned how It Stern? Yeah, I mean he was Iver the member pig Vomit in the movie. He was how It stn is the devil. I mean, so think about where you know, especially women have learned to really own their sexuality. Right Like back in the day, I remember sitting in my room listening to Loveline.

00:16:55
Speaker 1: There was Doctor Judy.

00:16:56
Speaker 2: I know there were other ones, Doctor Ruth, but the Doctor Judy was a syndicated show and Rember Doctor Drew had his show.

00:17:02
Speaker 1: Love Line was a big deal.

00:17:04
Speaker 11: Wasn't Adam Carolla on that show at one point?

00:17:05
Speaker 1: Adam Carolla of course.

00:17:07
Speaker 2: And now fast forward, Call Her Daddy is like one of the top podcasts in the country, and it is like it makes that seem like children's cartoons. What you listen to on Loveline.

00:17:20
Speaker 1: Calls actually helping people.

00:17:21
Speaker 11: People call in and they have like an STD and they like describe it for doctor Drew and he's like, yeah, you have.

00:17:26
Speaker 1: Now Call Her Daddy just teaches women how to give good gin. You know too.

00:17:30
Speaker 2: Rich As a parent, though, you have these viversations with your with your kids because I'll tell my daughter melody about Beavis and butt Head or something like that. Like with television MTV. MTV was kind of edgy, yeah, and they had Beavis and butt heead but at the time that was pushing the envelope even further than The Simpsons and then of course South Park. But to me, Buttead, Yeah, Ren and Stimpy, they all pushed the envelope. So a kid will watch that today and be like, got, that's stupid, but you have to explain to them.

00:17:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at the time, Beeves and butt hat.

00:18:01
Speaker 2: It's like your parents or grandparents telling you, like, oh, they had a blur out. They had to cut out Elvis shaking his hips. I mean right, Women and men didn't sleep in the same bed in television.

00:18:10
Speaker 1: Until what was it The Flintstones or I Love Lucy one of those.

00:18:15
Speaker 2: Well, you know, she could have also sexuality. I'm pretty certain this fun fact is Dawson's Creek in the two thousands had the first gay kiss on television. Before that, that was you know, where we are in twenty twenty five compared to twenty years ago, so we've we've come a long way. So let's go to Mike in Minnesota. What's up, Mike?

00:18:35
Speaker 12: Hey, what's up?

00:18:36
Speaker 3: You know, so you stole the love line.

00:18:38
Speaker 10: It was one of the things, Oh lookt at y.

00:18:41
Speaker 12: Yeah.

00:18:41
Speaker 10: The other one though, that I get a kick out of. It's like after watching a rerun of Wings or something.

00:18:47
Speaker 2: Nikita Usa, Yeah, those are good ones for sure, Nikita, Chris and Indy.

00:18:56
Speaker 1: You're on with Kevin and retche Chris.

00:18:58
Speaker 12: All right, you guys got my uh my wild on e Rook Burke scene. Because every few minutes you can you may be able to catch a thong, but Uh, so, I've got another one for you.

00:19:09
Speaker 1: You guys.

00:19:10
Speaker 12: Remember the Man Show. I don't remember what channel it was on.

00:19:14
Speaker 2: K Yeah, Corolla, Camo back in the day. Yeah, that was that was you know, that was great. That's what you know is ironic about Jimmy Kimmel today. I'm not saying people don't grow and change, but that's always what comes back at him, like, hey, you mean the guy that had women on trampolines with the little people, And that's fine, that's funny. It was great. In fact, I like that version, but I mean people love to bring that up. He also hosted Win Benstein's Money Right.

00:19:41
Speaker 1: Of course.

00:19:41
Speaker 11: I love both of those shows. I think they're on like, I don't know, back to back, but the same night.

00:19:45
Speaker 2: I think so edgy programming, comedy, music, movies, throw Wilmore. You sure something that used to be considered like wild right, Oh my god? And now it's like every tattoos. Dennis Rodman having tattoos in the NBA made him seem like a maniac.

00:20:03
Speaker 1: Without a doubt. Tell me a guy, Alan Iverson, tell me can name it.

00:20:07
Speaker 12: Now.

00:20:07
Speaker 2: The biggest nerd on Love Is Blind has full on sleeves. Seriously, it's it's really something that was edgy and now everybody has them.

00:20:16
Speaker 1: The NBA. I want you to think of a player.

00:20:21
Speaker 2: It's hard to think of a player now that doesn't have tattoos everywhere. Back then, Dennis Rodman was like a trailblazer, like, can you believe he's got all those tattoos and piercings and he dyed his hair that was considered wildest could be.

00:20:36
Speaker 1: Evan in Los Angeles. You're on what's up? Buddy?

00:20:38
Speaker 12: Hey, what's up?

00:20:39
Speaker 7: Guys?

00:20:39
Speaker 12: I have one that's a little bit more obscure. Do you guys remember the animated movie Heavy Metal?

00:20:44
Speaker 1: I do?

00:20:44
Speaker 3: WHI yeah?

00:20:45
Speaker 10: I mean my dad like would always quote that movie. I remember showing it to some friends and they go home and tell their parents the next thing here not well, are you sure it was like what you saw? Some animated tits and ass and cursing like it over it?

00:20:59
Speaker 2: That's so funny. Man, Hey, thank you to hear what Evan said. Catch the podcast. I don't think you can say that word. I'm not sure if you could say that, but please catch our podcast. All right, thank you, thank you. Sam. So it wasn't for Fox, we couldn't say any of the words. It was considered edgy back in the day. You know, you could say we've come a long way, or you could say, I don't know, we are we better off?

00:21:22
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think.

00:21:24
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like missus Grundy, I don't want to sound prudish. But it is interesting to look back at what we thought was dangerous and it really was, or what we thought was edgy, and compared to today it really wasn't not unnecessarily edgy, but like, wow, what are like how risky?

00:21:39
Speaker 1: Look around the room.

00:21:40
Speaker 2: Every one of us, for the most part, has some type of facial hair going on. Back in the day, Like if you saw a guy with a big beard, it would almost be like was this was out of prison? This guy's got a beard.

00:21:50
Speaker 1: My mom would be like, what's he hiding under there? Beard and tattoos?

00:21:53
Speaker 2: And uh, I'll give you one more and then we'll take your feedback when we get back. Do you remember Madonna and Britney kissing at the VMAs?

00:22:03
Speaker 1: Oh?

00:22:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was considered like whoa Christina Aguilera was involved to? That was like Harry Taboo? Can you believe it? I nowadays college girls and guys do all these crazy things. Remember in college when two girls would kiss for like a free shot. It was like, oh my god, girl's gone wild. Yeah, girls gone wild, Like you mentioned it was, it was a thing. Now it's like everyone's gone wild and loss their damn mine. All right, your feedback, your.

00:22:30
Speaker 1: Calls, all that.

00:22:32

00:24:00
Speaker 2: So funny, Well, it used to be edgy, is now like what you know what was edgy but still is edgy. But it was really edgy for the time, basic instinct because of one particular scene.

00:24:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know why you ain't kidding.

00:24:13
Speaker 2: Right, because that was like I took the world by storm, Sharon Stone was naughty and your mom didn' why you're watching that?

00:24:20
Speaker 5: No.

00:24:21
Speaker 2: Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio love throwing it back and reminiscing with You Here every Thursday on the show Old School and fifty Hits the music Rental Advisory songs. Anytime the word hell was sung or it was a curse word in your rap song, Dan Byer, I can't imagine listening to I Want Your Sex in front of your parents.

00:24:40
Speaker 13: Well, I can tell you this that when I was a kid, I bought Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue on cassette. Oh and because well when they said kicking you know what on the wild Side, it was in the lyrics and my mom was not having that, so I had to give it to my cousin. I even tried to scribble out the word I think it would be okay, it was not.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: Our buddy Jeff hit us up in Alabama. He said, with his allowance money, he went to go buy an Eminem album and his mom immediately hold he say, he goes one of my first seeds I bought with my own allowance money. I got the Eminem show. My mom took one listen and she made me return it. Dude, any sexual reference like Belle Bivdevo do me, or any time they sing about sex or push It by Sultana, Those really, you gotta lower it when the parents were around, because it was edgy for the time. Now that's just pop music. They have a sex jingles that your kids are singing to.

00:25:42
Speaker 11: Listen to Doja Cat or Crampy and you're like.

00:25:44
Speaker 2: Whoa, yeah, so again edgy for the time because on this day that show, what was that a song two years ago? Wet ass? Yeah exactly, that's where we're at now. So on this day the Fox network became a thing. They pushed the envelope and the parents like, whoa, what do you watching the Simpsons? Were you crazy? What were those edgy things? Please continue to chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio on social media? Could you know is one hundred percent right when it comes to just the word s e X Oh yeah. I remember Madonna like a Virgin was a weird song when it would come out, because I'm like, that would insinuate you knew what a virgin meant around your parents, like.

00:26:21
Speaker 1: Oh virgin, there was something very strange about him.

00:26:25
Speaker 3: Man.

00:26:25
Speaker 1: I used to have to have that talk with my friends.

00:26:27
Speaker 2: Oh, like if I had like some sort of lamp wick edgy type of friend, Hey, guys, listen we don't laugh to any dirty jokes, and we don't curse in front of my parents. All right, I'd have to talk with my friends before they came in the house. Let's say hi to We'll go Rapid Fire, and then we'll go to DB's update. We'll start with Waco Adam. You're all with Cee and all. What's up buddy?

00:26:48
Speaker 14: Hey guys, You guys have a funny story. When I was fifteen or sixteen, my mom and I decided to go to the movie Theatergether. We didn't know we were going to see, so we end up seeing something about Mary Together.

00:26:57
Speaker 1: Oh, the in the well, the Franken beans, the in the hair hair, Oh my god, oh yikes.

00:27:06
Speaker 2: You know it was pretty edgy. I'm gonna bring it back to sports just for a second. It's Fox Sports Radio. I always thought morgana the Kissing Bandit was kind of edgy because she came out and bouncing around. If you remember, I thought Elviro's kind of edgy. She was showing a lot back then. I'd stay up late for it. Could I tell you that My brother is newly single, just went through a divorce, and it was the most cringey thing is, you know, we're all adults now. My mom in front of me and my brother said, well, Jimmy, you're single now, like when you go on these dates, Like how long are you waiting to have sex.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: With these random women? My brother and I like, Jesus D Mom, that's it. My Mom's like, we're all adults. No, we're not, Mom, we don't know. These are lines we don't cross. We leave the room and there's a NUDI scene.

00:27:46
Speaker 2: We do not have these conversations, and you know what, just to take you back to that mindset, we talked about the scrambled channels. You know, you stayed up late watching that HBO jingle, that feature presentation waiting for Rated R. You're like, come on, rated R, let's go, yes, ate it. Let's go back to the rapid fire. As soon as you finish this lyric for me that you were scared to sing as a kid.

00:28:10
Speaker 1: Ready, Yeah, old.

00:28:11
Speaker 2: Miss John Glenn, listen, beat Patterson, Pope, Paul Malcolm X, British politician sick JFK. Blow it away. Yeah, I'm not saying that. John and Montana, what's up, Johnny?

00:28:25
Speaker 3: Hey, what's up?

00:28:26
Speaker 5: Guys?

00:28:26
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:28:27
Speaker 9: Real quick with a rapid Fire kind of took the Beavis buttead here, but uh, that was my whole thing as a like an eight nine year old kid.

00:28:36
Speaker 12: And then my older brother introduced me to a little movie called South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

00:28:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:28:43
Speaker 2: Way, that's great, way different. And you know what, it's so tough to monitor as a parent, Like you're gonna try to keep euphoria away from your teenage kids. They're exposed to so much. It's horrible, it really is, but like it's almost something you need to prepare air them for because there's no way to stop it.

00:29:02
Speaker 4: Our teenager watches Love Island, right, and I don't like it, but there's no way I.

00:29:06
Speaker 1: Can stop her.

00:29:08
Speaker 2: All the kids are talking about watching phone, Yeah exactly, go to a friend's house. It's there's no way. So they're exposed to so much. You almost have to you know, not necessarily, you know, giving advice here, but you almost have to just be a good parent, guide them the right way and hope they make the right decisions because you can't keep this stuff away from me. Right, Dan, do you have a teenage daughter watching Love Island? What do you think that's not gonna happen, And it's as simple as them. Like for you to be exposed to something, it's because you found it in the streets somewhere, or you found your dad's collection or whatever happened by chance. You almost now it's a link. Your kid opens a link and be something terrible. So you just got to tell them, look, that's not the norm and make good choices, like Rich said, Now Dylan in Illinois, what's up, Dylan?

00:29:51
Speaker 1: Hey, I got one.

00:29:53
Speaker 14: That kind of bas the lines of edgy. Hey, if you guys remember talk sex Johansen, But a little old lady would talk about everything from like positions to the things they've been throwing on the court.

00:30:07
Speaker 1: At w NBA game.

00:30:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that like a doctor Rufe, that's very doctor Lennie and I were talking about.

00:30:13
Speaker 11: It was like better sex end you're getting in high school, absolutely better. And she was a Canadian and she would come home and I think on e after Howard Stern.

00:30:20
Speaker 1: Anyone ever find it weird than in school?

00:30:22
Speaker 2: It was like the random gym teacher that had to like talk to you guys about stuff like that. Mister Buzzcutt taught you about that puberty, Rob, what's up?

00:30:34
Speaker 4: What up Texas.

00:30:36
Speaker 5: Hey.

00:30:36
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.

00:30:54
Speaker 1: What I thought he was gonna say?

00:31:03
Speaker 1: What does he do?

00:31:03

00:31:08
Speaker 5: For me, I was a young teenager and I had the album Donna Summer and she had the song loved to love You Baby, and it went it got very orgasmic.

00:31:21
Speaker 3: That was like, oh.

00:31:22
Speaker 2: Wow, love me baby.

00:31:28
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a Playboy T shirt today.

00:31:30
Speaker 2: This is in reference to a Muhammad Ali article that they wrote in seventy four Playboy. But to think that this doesn't even exist because we're so past the envelope, that's not enough. It's not enough, man. Playboy was his risk. If you got your hands on a VHS. This is risk as a guy, Steven Odessa wrap it up and then we'll go to Dan for an update. What's up Steve?

00:31:50
Speaker 6: What's up? Guys? A long time? Second time? I remember and my mom worked nights, this product of a single mom. And when I was a kid, there was a late night show on Eastfield called The Hitchhiker.

00:31:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that.

00:32:01
Speaker 6: It was like a thirty minute kind of sludy that kind of mixed some horror in there. But that was like my first introduction staying up late a night just to you know, catch thirty minutes and hoping they'd have a nudity because I always say bad language.

00:32:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was great.

00:32:14
Speaker 2: It was very dud It was very tales from the crypti ish kind of the Hitchhiker. Good one, Thank you so much, Thanks for reminiscing with us. The rest of your answers at Covino and rich and we still got to get you ready for NFL Thursday night.

00:32:29
Speaker 1: But dB first, DB's got an update. What's up? Then, buyer.

00:32:32
Speaker 13: I have no idea how you could get your record player to play backwards, but even if we could, we were not allowed. Some of those albums and the messages from the various rock bands and metal bands. That was a no no. We don't have a no no going on in Game four the nlds. But the Phillies and Dodgers are scoreless right now on the top of the third inning in their Game four, Dodgers up to one in the series. Harrison Bader not in the lineup for the Phillies today. Brewers and Cubs come up nine o'clock Eastern Time in their Game four in Chicago, with Milwaukee leading that series two to one. Former Red sax outfielder Mike Greenwell died. He passed away at the age of sixty two after a battle with cancer. Week six in the NFL season starts with the Eagles and Giants eight to fifteen Eastern Time. Some injury news in the NFL. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed another practice today because of his strained hamstring. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray didn't practice he's dealing with that foot injury, while forty nine Ers quarterback brought Perty miss practice with his toe injury. According to ESPN, party was spotted doing conditioning drills on the side and the portion of practice open to the media. Patriots corner Christian Gonzalez popped up on the injury report with a hamstring injury, and sciatica is what's got Lebron James, the Lakers forward, gonna miss the first a couple of weeks of the NBA season, Lakers saying he's out three to four weeks according to ESPN with sciatica on his right side, that would rule him out of their opener against Golden State in less than two weeks.

00:33:55
Speaker 1: Guys, back to you, Jim Byer, you're a fantasy football expert.

00:33:58
Speaker 2: Is it safe to say this year a lot of bang ups a lot of guys, even if it's for a weak or so. I feel like I feel like every team's got a couple key offensive players that are finding their way on and off the bench.

00:34:10
Speaker 1: Yes.

00:34:10
Speaker 13: I think more so now too. With the seventeen game schedule, it's a much longer regular season. Teams aren't willing to risk their players. It's a different ballgame than it was twenty thirty years.

00:34:19
Speaker 2: Every week in our Guillotine League, I feel like I have to figure something out.

00:34:22
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, somebody's in, somebody's out. It's a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting us into that.

I was like fifth grade or whatever you promised me Heaven, you put me through hell. Right, we had to say put us, put you through pain or hack or something that because you couldn't say that in front of people because it was pushing the envelope. You know, different from today's world you know, it's the dirty word in today's world. My kids will say, like you said the S word.

Get you ready for the weekend with weekend hob Nobbin. But right now, Rich, get us ready for Thursday night football. Eagles at the Giants. Are we hyped about Jackson dart or? What is this his big like main stage premiere, Like we're all tuning in watching this, dude.

00:38:19
Speaker 1: The games at the Meadowlands.

00:38:20
Speaker 2: People hate that field, people hate the you know, the conditions. But it's in New York Division rival Thursday night. You got to ask yourself what's going to go down tonight? Eagles at Giants. I don't like to overthink these things because truthfully, we've been doing a pretty good job on these teaser bets on Thursday nights and Monday nights.

00:38:40
Speaker 4: In fact, Wait, wait, you're being humbled nine and oh I'm nine and oh so I'm like, so now you're nervous, cause so weary.

00:38:46
Speaker 2: I don't want to overthink it, but my instinct is bringing me somewhere, so follow me here. And I think so the Eagles are seven and a half point favorites in New York. Well, I do think it'll be fun to watch Jackson dart and while I do think all eyes on and you know, see what happens, and you know cam scataboo and maybe you got some new gloves will hold onto the ball.

00:39:10
Speaker 1: I like taking that teaser bet seven and a half, making it one and a half.

00:39:14
Speaker 2: I think Philadelphia wins, so Philly minus one and a half. The over under is forty one and a half. I'm tempted to go up to forty seven and a half and taking the under. I just don't see a ton and ton a ton of points being scored. So I'm liking under forty seven and a half Philly minus one and a half. Lock that in as your teaser bet. Don't see what happens. And by the way, Danny, you may have just caught a big break and error by the Philadelphia Phillies now has the Dodgers with first and third, two down.

00:39:45
Speaker 1: You got and you got.

00:39:46
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts at the plate against Sanchez and diving played by Bryce Harper gets.

00:39:56
Speaker 1: Out of the inning.

00:39:57
Speaker 2: That right, there was a that was a we said Bryce Harper, He's going to be the guy So you got your Phillies, Dodgers, you got your Brewers Cubs, and of course your Eagles Giants, and we'll be talking about it tomorrow on the show. So I helpe all your teams win. I hope you make some money moves.

00:40:15

00:40:23
Speaker 1: Did you still start over? You Jinks Cadino yesterday bout wearing a Yankee shirt?

00:40:27
Speaker 15: You know what, I'm sorry, I felt that I felt the same way anymore. I wore it because I was like Aaron Judge finally, you know, like, I will not take slander on just only a few people in my life, my mom, Taylor Swift, Aaron Judge, Blake Griffin.
