Chapter 3: What toys did the hosts always want but never received?
This is Saigon, the story of my family and of the country that shaped us.
From iHeart Podcasts, Saigon. You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam?
One city, a divided country, and the war that tore America apart.
This is for Vietnam. They're pouring petrol all over here. Freedom for Vietnam! There's a fire coming to this country and it's going to burn out everything.

Chapter 4: What are the funniest childhood memories related to toys?
Sure. We're not going to get to everything on today's show, so I feel like a really fun over-promise is going to be happening after today's show. I can already tell you we're going to talk insults. Why? What does that mean? What do you want to say to me? Yeah. What are some of the biggest and greatest insults of all time? Because there's a great story out of Cleveland. Oh, yeah.
And it has to do with the Sanders family. And the Dodgers Cubs. Yeah, so you know what? It's better for over-promise because it gets a little uncensored. So our bonus pod later today, the fun continues. But right now, we're rocking out. We're going old school CNR on FSR live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Okay, so I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis, Danny G, Sam, and Byer.
And before we take your phone calls, because we get you involved right now at 877-99-FOX, can I shamelessly promote two things?
Chapter 5: How do Covino and Rich compare their childhood experiences with their kids today?
Tonight on the History Channel, brand new episode of Mysteries Unearthed. And I think I'm on it and they asked me to promote it. And I want you to see me. So check it out. I posted a clip. So please like my clip at Steve Covino. And while you're on the IG and TikTok at Steve Covino, I posted a picture of me With my original Mr. Potato Head, it looks like it's from like 1960-something.
It's so gross how old it looks. The picture looks like Kavino's. But I promise you, it's like the early 80s. Kavino looks like he's 75 years old. You look like you were a child when there was black and white film. But dude, everybody had a Mr. Potato Head, am I right or no? Of course, of course. In fact, the late great Don Rickles played Mr. Potato Head on the Toy Story movies.
I'm a married spud, I'm a married spud, I'm a married spud. And make room for the single fellas.
All right, so you can see me, my OG original Mr. Potato Head at Steve Covino. And everyone took the glasses or the lips and you put them on your own face.
Chapter 6: What insights do they share about Philadelphia fans and their reactions?
But on this day in 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy ever advertised on TV. And if you see the original commercial, it's wild because like Rich said, it was just a potato. And you were supposed to put the nose and the eyes on a real potato. It looked creepy as can be. You ever see like a...
You ever see someone with really old school creepy Santa Claus decorations back in the day for Christmas? Or like the Easter Bunny from the 50s or 40s. Like, yeah, your parents' Easter Bunny was just a creepy rabbit. Dude, the OG 1952 Potato Head commercial. Mr. Potato Head. It was really, like I said, the eyes, the mouth, and the ears.
And some people put it on like a skinny sweet potato, like a yam. Some put it on just a regular potato. It looks creepy. And the voiceover is great because it's all old school. Like, brought to you by Hasbro. Yeah, Hasbro. Introducing C, Mr. Potato Head. Yeah.
So on that note, and based on that thought, I think we all had one, but what were the toys or even items, merchandise, whatever, that you always wanted that you never got, right?
Chapter 7: What do the hosts say about the worst cities to play sports in?
What are those toys? I got two, and they still bother me to this day because then you often battle, too, like, well, I'm an adult. Can I go and find it on eBay just to fulfill my childhood dreams? I did what you just did. Oh, really?
Yeah, because there's always that question.
Let me hit you with it, and I was disappointed, and my parents were probably right. And it wasn't the animal. I did get that. The worst remote control car ever. The animal. The animal. Could anything stop the animal? The animal. The claws would come out of the tires. My parents did get that, so that's not on my list. Did you return it? Because it sucked.
What my parents wouldn't get me, when I was a grown man, I got one. It wasn't spiteful, but it was like, I got one now.
Chapter 8: What unique items do Covino and Rich showcase during show-and-tell?
I so badly wanted a Snoopy snow cone machine. Oh, yeah. And I remember my parents being like, it's stupid, Richie. It just grinds ice. I'm like, yeah, but I want a snow cone. And my parents like just so. It's stupid. My mom, that was her answer for every toy commercial we saw. Danny, that's stupid. That's stupid.
That's cheap.
Kids kind of like stupid things. Yeah, but kids don't care. They just want it. Oh, but that's for losers. My dad and mom were like, no, it's... What is it? It grinds up ice? No, we don't need that. I have to be honest. I loved my Snoopy SoCo machine. I did. But you're right. It didn't work the way it was advertised. None of the stuff did that we had growing up. For me, it was...
My pet monster, always wanted it, never got it. Remember that weird-looking monster with the handcuffs? Like, oh, I want my pet monster. And I sort of grew out of it, I guess. I don't know. No one ever bought it for me. But I was a spoiled little a-hole.
So I had most things, but I never got that.
How many pairs of designer jeans did you have? Oh, I had a lot, yeah. I was spoiled, dude. I had so many Nintendo games. I was so spoiled. See, I was not. I lived a great little childhood, but I'll give you an example. Danny, if we went to a game...
the circus whatever was in town at nassau coliseum or madison square garden in new york no way on planet earth would my family buy me cotton candy every time i'm like just complete cotton candy never like i feel like it's just sugar it's just sugar that melts in your mouth yeah exactly your mom i feel like they have the same playbook you know what happens oh yeah parents over correct now now rich buys all you know all the kids in his section cotton candy
