Early in my radio career, was 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.080 one of my biggest flubs. 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.720 It was just the flub. Let me. I'll defend you here. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:11.839 We grew up. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.480 Watching ice Cube, listening to ice Cube, knowing ice Cube. 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.839 I know Rich, there's no way anyone under the moon 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.880 in our age range, or anyone who worked in music 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.400 for that matter too, didn't know who ice Cube was. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.280 But Rich called them iced Tea and it set the 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.759 tone for like a really awkward moment. You know who 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.240 you're talking to. I thought he was going to get 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:38.120 up and slat Rich. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.080 Well, today I'm wearing my ice Cube Iced Tea shirt 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:42.679 where it's. 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.200 Uh, that'll help you with your confusion. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.000 Why did I do that? And it looked like vanilla ice? 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.760 Oh my goodness, this is confuci ice Cube. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:50.760 On the show. So I got it right. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.960 And we'll hear from Patrick Renna and Danielle Fischel to Panga. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.160 They're in a new show called Dugout Dads, which is 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.280 going to be awesome. It looks fantastic shore about you 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.720 if you're living that world of coaching and parenting.

But we'll hear from them, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.360 So it's gonna be an action packed show. First hour, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.560 we got to talk fights. And then there's a company 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.360 that went out of business finally, And I think the 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.919 biggest question is is there one person on the planet 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.679 Earth that thought they were still operating? And that company 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.680 is Columbia House. I feel like your mom was still 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.880 a member rich My mom paid for her AOL I 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.440 think until like five years ago. And that's exactly why 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.919 I believe he still buys her CDs from Columbia House. Well, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.720 you know what everyone else is talking about fights, I'm 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.720 cool talking about Columbia House. I wanted to talk about 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:50.520 fight and fighting.

We'll get 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.840 the fights and football. But Columbia House just to switch 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.680 it up and have some fun. I think we all 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.600 remember the days of Columbia House. Sam, you're a little 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.880 bit younger. We got Samy here on the ones and twos. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.920 I remember, Okay, you do you know what? 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:11.200 You do? 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.919 Have the soul of an eighty year old white guy. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.840 So yeah, Sam is much older. His name should be 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:16.600 like Burt or something. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:18.720 Sad guy Sam. 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.760 It's like a young kid named Now It's made the cycle. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.440 He's like like your uncle Sam. 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:23.360 Sam the Butcher. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.919 Yeah, and Danny G are super producers here if you 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.120 want to call in and chime in, chop it up 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.200 at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and again. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.840 We are streaming live, like I said, and people are 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.760 chatting early in the morning. It's early here on the 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.160 West Coast. Shout out to the East Coast and everybody 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.080 in between. At Covino and Rich FSR. I was a 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.440 big Columbia house kid because think about the radio come up. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.960 It's not the same for all people, but I know 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.640 Danny G and I especially Rich is just a ham 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.760 who wanted to entertain and be on the mic. It 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.600 was our love of music that brought us down this path. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.280 Right for the most part, right start. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.240 Reading song lyrics, Yeah, from actual CD you know inserts. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:07.160 I was spending my hard earned Bennigan's money waiting tables, 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:12.760 serving turkeyo tools and samplers waiting tables and then immediately 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.720 going to Sam Goodie or the Wiz or you know, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.120 even when I was younger, crazy Eddy because the prices 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.080 were insane and you would buy CDs, but then you 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.880 realized there was something called Columbia House, and dude, I 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:27.839 was all about it, because, like I said, I grew 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.440 up loving music just as much as I loved sports 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.359 and collecting baseball cards. I loved getting CDEs, opening up 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.520 the jewel cases, you know, reading the if they had lyrics, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.320 and really diving into those albums. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:40.279 It was the same for me. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.080 Still, I still remember the gimmick twelve CDs for a penny. 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:45.160 Everybody remembers. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.599 But here's the question. I mean, you should who ever 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:53.120 paid nowadays, your kid gets an app on their iPad, 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.239 or you accidentally say, oh, let me get this editing 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.680 app or you know, this cool little game or something 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.159 on my phone, and what happens is, even if the 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.760 free trial you forget, because your credit card is linked 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.680 to your Apple pay and your iTunes and everything. So 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.680 they always got you on the hook. Now, because you 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:12.520 can't do Jack Diddley squat without giving some type of information, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.360 whether it's a streaming app or anything, so you're on 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.279 the hook for everything. In fact, you get schemed because 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.479 sometimes even if you want to cancel something, they have 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.320 your info for payment back. Then it was in good 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:30.360 faith that some week ass teenagers were gonna pay you 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.839 that fat blue envolope. I don't know remember one person. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.000 Let me just describe the scene, and let's say I 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.080 we're all on the same page. Let's take it back 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.280 the year. It was nineteen ninety something. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:41.799 I don't know. You know, it's wild riches. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.840 It does deserve explanation because there are people that don't 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.719 remember because they're too young maybe or too old. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.440 I don't know, I don't know, too old perhaps. In fact, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.080 there's a big window of people that people told me like, 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.200 just forget everything about their past, and they need a reminder. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.560 People that are like, yo, dude, do you remember? 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.680 Of course I remember? Did you get dropped on your head? 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:02.599 How did you forget? 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.599 I don't think too old is a possibility, because those 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.320 people back then were the ones yelling at us, like, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.400 my mom, you better pay that it keeps coming in 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:10.800 the mail. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.400 Yeah, you know, you're absolutely right, rich. Anyone too old 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.720 is probably gone by now, because Columbia House is shutting 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.000 down after seventy one years. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.120 Right, so it's been around a long ass time. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.159 How is it still operate? I don't know. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:26.440 I was shocked. I was more shot. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.280 They heard of something called I don't know, Spotify, Apple Music. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.479 iHeart they did transition their business. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.440 I know one guy working in one office.

What was the 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.479 business model for Kobe House? I didn't look it up 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.880 because I didn't know want I don't want to know. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.440 What could it possibility? The clue. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.400 I didn't know it existed until I saw this story. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.800 He ranted stores after seventy one years.

They probably have a picture of 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.440 you at headquarters. But I thank this guy, you know, hey, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.320 you know I'm here to announce that I've kept him 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.520 in business for seventy one years up until now the 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.920 last member.

What 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.559 do you think was the last CED you bought? 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.920 Because when you bought actual cts, remember they came in 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.240 at long, rectangular waste of cardboard. Remember they came in 0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:58.680 like this. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.440 Long lard blastic plastic cases like. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.560 All plastic cases. What was the last CD you bought? 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.679 You actually bought? I have no idea. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.600 By the way, they transitioned their business in nineteen ninety 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:10.680 seven to DVDs. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.360 They had a DVD club. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.840 I now look, by twenty fifteen they filed a chapter eleven. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.920 Did anyone else you speak of dv like, we'll switch 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.320 to another kind of disc that will go out of business. 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.800 Did you ever back in the day go to like 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.800 best Buy or Circuit City, but mostly best Buy. I 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:32.320 would buy mediocre movies for five dollars just because I 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.640 wanted to fill up my sweet ced? 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.559 Was my sweet a brag or a flexes? 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:37.679 Like? 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.120 You know, say you had to display your scarfaced DVD? 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.360 What color wood was your wreck? Was it the blonde 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:44.840 wood or the dark I had. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.160 The I had like a kind of stain. Did you 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.160 like a middle wavy one? 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.440 I was gangster, almost black and crisp, and it looks sweet. Guys, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:54.600 you guys were modern. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.320 You had to have the seven bro crates. You had 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.720 like the light the light woods, like I had a 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.920 milk crazy. You had to assemble yourself, Danny. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.559 Danny probably had remember those brown VHS holders that you 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:06.840 would pull like little dolls. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:07.880 Nos. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.120 Right, we had my older brother and I had milk 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.120 crates filled with CDs and cassettes. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.520 Well albums would be and album yeah final. But Sam, 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.199 you brought up the DVDs. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.240 I remember going to like because best Buy would have average, 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.800 Like I remember by movies like Steak Out Too with 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.160 Rosie o'donald for five dollars, because what be the most bunk, 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.360 weak ass movies. But when you were like like in 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.240 your early twenties or in college, it was a cool 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.280 breaking right to be like, yo, come in my apartment 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.120 or door, dorm room or something else. I got the sweetest, 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:38.920 so proud DVD. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.400 We were so proud of our setup, our collection. And 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.760 that's especially they fell into a case logic binder or 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.840 remember people would have I always hear stories of Dude, 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.960 I never got my Remember you would have a visor 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.760 thing and you'd have your CDs and the visor and 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:56.600 little cases. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.679 Dude. Man, my girlfriend she took my CDs. I never 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:00.440 got them back. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:02.840 Man, she stole my binder. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.839 So you know, are you surprised or as surprised as 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.360 we were to hear that Columbia House was even still 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.040 a thing. Listen with all the streamers right now, and 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.680 like I said, Spotify serious ExM. iHeart all the places 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.760 you could listen to music for free or a subscription. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.840 I think the reality is there's a lot less like 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.520 junk space being taken up. But there was something about, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.040 like you said, a collection of CDs or DVDs. I 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.920 remember going to Covino's apartment and then his tech well 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.880 you can you know, had a townhouse and he had 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.040 a wall, like a full wall of CDs and he 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.679 had some guitars hanging on the wall. And it was 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.079 almost your way of saying, like yo, I'm into music. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.560 And if you went to in your movie room or 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.080 you're den you had I remember my parents in my parents' basement, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.480 outside of a sweetfish tank, my parents' basement, we had like 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.280 a wall like almost like like a mini blockbuster of 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.680 like old phs, tapes and DVDs, and that's that's that 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.480 tangible sort of feeling though, is coming back, Like there 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.080 is a pushback with the weien Neels, the younger generation 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.679 who want some tangible old school of God bless them, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:14.640 not only CDs and DVDs, but like walkman and flip phones. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.440 And they're sort of pushing back phes. You know why though, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.840 because they do feel like something's not right with the 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.720 way we're living and the way we communicate. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.040 Yeah, I read an article recently that this new generation 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.000 are buying all these CDs from these used music stores, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.680 but they're having a hard time finding actual CD players. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.720 True story. And by the way, we'll take some phone 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.080 calls your thoughts. On Columbia House Closing Dawn eight seven, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.280 seven ninety nine on Fox. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.120 I'm Cavino. I have a teenage daughter. She's sixteen. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:47.080 She already said, because I you know, you condense things 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.920 as you grow. She wanted me to keep my CD case. 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.640 I've kept about maybe five six hundred CDs that meant 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.160 a lot to me, and I still got them in 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.280 a rack. I remember, she wants them for some sort 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.920 of retro room in the future, and I have I 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.200 have a three hundred disc changer too, like I still 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:03.600 have one. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.320 I remember, Daddy, because when Covino went through his divorce. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:08.960 Oh look, it took me sixteen minutes to bring up 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.440 your ex wife. Sixteen minutes here about it. I remember 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.680 when Cavino moved Do you remember about it? 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.160 Tell me about my divorce, Richard. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.480 Sixteen minutes into the show. I remember when Cavino was 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.080 moving out. We were good buds and went to go 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.760 help him move all his stuff out of his own Billy, Joel, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.560 let me file that under j for Joel, or you 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.520 would do it under Joel instead of Billy. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.800 you got okay. But Danny Covi, I was like, yo, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.720 can you would spot help me carry my CDs? Like 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.920 carry CDs? Like you need help carrying CDs? When I 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.520 tell you, it was like a rickety old bookshelf. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:40.640 That. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.400 But when I tell you, the people can't see the 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.440 window between you and I. This big, huge, monstrous class 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.960 big spot has pictures of it somewhere. It was that 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.640 size to the point where like three men had to 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.200 like hold it on their back. It's like a moving truck. 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.600 And he had not parted with those them you sell 0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.200 them in storage. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.320 Yeah, but again I kept the ones that meant something 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.560 to me because, uh, you know, it paved the way. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.440 And by the way, I was thinking about Columbia House 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.760 and I got a lot of them from Columbia House. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.120 Columbia House, when you would get those twelve for the 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.640 penny off the get go and then you would rip 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.760 off the company, that's the that's the gimmick. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:17.640 That was your gimmick. 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.640 It was good for getting like greatest hits, like you'd 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.520 get them all at once, like yeah, like greatest hit 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.000 albums that you wouldn't want to necessarily buy at the 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.960 store right at the time. At the time you wanted 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.920 to go get the Boys to Men album or whatever, 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.480 you weren't buying the Eagles greatest hits. 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.480 Yeah, I mean, you get the Eagles' greatest hits or 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.120 led Zeppelin's greatest, the Doors Greatest, all the classic rock 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.480 greatest hits with Columbia House sort of to complete your collection. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.160 The collection is really the core of what we're getting at. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.160 I do miss those days, man, I really do. I 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.080 think a big takeaway is that Cavino is such an 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.680 honorable guy he's the guy that paid for Columbia House. 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:52.000 I gut. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.280 Were you the guy that when did you actually make 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:55.880 a cleet call or did you be like you have 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.600 a cleec call for mom up at the ball pick 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.600 me up?
