Covino enriched Monday through Friday 5 to 7 on the east in for Dan Patrick Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday this week. What up Dan Patrick Nation, Covino and Rich Live from the Fox sports radio studio. And thanks for hearing me out on my Disney ride stuff. I feel like, much like sports, we all love rides, right? But people don't talk about them a lot. And I was pumped to go on some new ones over the weekend. Can I tell you, it's. It's really funny when I was a younger man, you know, when you talk about, like, non negotiables and, you know, people love to say the word ick now. Like, oh, my God, it's my ick. Yeah. I don't know why it was always a turn off to me if a woman didn't want to go on any rides. If I was dating someone and they're like, I don't go on roller coasters. You and my mom would have never mixed. I'm gonna stay here with the stroller. I always felt bad for the mom or dad or the lame o that just sat there while the kids went on everything. Like, to me, I was like, I'm never gonna marry a woman that doesn't go on roller coasters. And my wife loves stuff like that. I just feel like it's. We've all seen those lame moms and dads that just wait there. It's like, ugh. Well, I told you Guardians of the galaxy, Cosmic rewind was the best. I'm Covino, that is Rich. We got a new YouTube channel, YouTube.com subscribe for free. And every Monday on our show, Monday through Friday, 5 to 7 on the east, we play a game and it's called last one standing. You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia. Life, man, I gotta. Yeah, I don't got it. Put your electronic devices down and pick your sports knowledge. It's CNR's last one standing. Last one standing. All right, I have four categories ready to go if needed, a tiebreaker. Each contestant gets five seconds to stay alive in the round. If you run out of time or you answer incorrectly, Iowa, Sam will take you out with his big bad buzzer. No, you won't. You don't want to hear that. All right? We keep battling until you are the last one standing if you want it. If you win two of the rounds, you're the top dog. Here are the contestants. Nine time winner, Steve Covino right over there. Good morning. Yeah. Sitting next to him, 11 time winner, Rich Davis. That is what's up. Let's go. And big shoes to fill here in for the 31 time winner, Dan Beyer is big Mike. Who doesn't run this place. Hey. Hello, everybody. Big Mike. What up, Mike? We're going to go to the studio lines to see who's playing for an iou, which is probably going to turn into a CNR Nerf football. Our next shipment of prizes, it is Jordan in beautiful Sioux Falls, South Dakota. What's up, man? What's up, guys? Love the show. Thank you, brother. Thank you, Jordan. All right, Spot is the fact checker during this game. Hate it so much. Yeah, worse than the buzz. So be patient with them. When I say your name, the clock is going to start. All right, first category is long journey. Man. You have five seconds to name one of the record setting 14 NFL teams that Journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson has been a member of between 2008 and present.

The frustrating part of this game, Danny, is when you have a few answers written down and then you go with the. The wrong one and get. Because you think you're saving your other one. Don't save. I say that every time. By the way, Mikey, back in 2020, he played for the LA Wildcats. Oh, I knew he was in LA. Yeah, I'm sure I did. That's it. Yeah, that's. There you go. All right, Jordan on the board so far. As we move to the second category, just upgrade the plumbing. You have five seconds to name an MLB team who plays in one of the ten oldest ballparks. All right, Name the MLB team who plays in one of the ten oldest ballparks. Jordan, you're up first this time. Starting right now. Let's go to la. Dodgers. The Dodgers. That is Correct.

The Broncos 9 and 9, Falcons 11 and 1. Steelers 12 and 4. Texans 9 and 2. You know why I didn't say Broncos? Because I know that Broncos are one of the few teams he doesn't have a winning record against. He's.500 against the Broncos. That's why he got that little tiny head statue outside. Yeah, we got a battle. Three way tie. Jordan Covino, Rich. As we go to the fourth category. MLB mashers. Wait, is that a Beetlejuice statue or Tom Brady 17 foot Beetlejuice statue? Okay.

Appreciate it. Covino Enrich. Monday through Friday, 5 to 7 on the east in for Dan Patrick. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday this week. All right, thank you, everyone, for playing along. All right, let's take. Let's take a couple quick phone calls and then we'll play our game. Let's say hi to Adam in Tampa. What's up, Adam? Hey, you guys should play backdoor Santa later. That's another good song. What's going on? I wanted to bring up. I may be showing my age here, but I remember when I had scramblers for the cable box. Yeah. So you could get illegal cable. And I also remember a friend of mine was a high school janitor, and he was able to get the free direct TV cards from a kid at the school who was able to descramble all the cards so you could get any type of direct TV cable you wanted. Oh, sideburns. Yeah. Was up to scams. Old cable boxes. I remember there was always, like, tricks, like if you held it a certain way, like you could see us of like a scrambled boob. Oh, no, no joke, dude. When we first got our cable box back in the early 80s, you could stick a butter knife inside the box and hit one of the connections. Boom. Unscrabble the Playboy channel. Just like that. Boobies everywhere. There is Big Mike who runs this place. Yeah. Who? Never heard of them. All right, let's say hi to Baker in Illinois. What's up, Baker? Hey, I'm sorry to do this, but as a chef, I have to correct you. There is vodka in vodka in vodka sauce. I think I was more. I was more say there wasn't vodka. I was more referencing that. Like it wasn't alcoholic. Like, it burns off. I think what Rich meant was the chef has something. It's not gonna get you drunk. Yeah, no, I get it baked. I knew that. I appreciate you bringing that up because that's like when someone would cook with wine, like, they were like, he's not going to get drunk. Brazen beer. You know, you're not going to get intoxicated off that. Yeah. Beer battered fries are not going to get you hammered. So. But yeah, there is technically vodka in vodka sauce, but again, it burns off. All right, let's do this. Let's play Showtime. Mahomes trivia. Come on. The mostly lovable Patrick Mahomes truth is I want everybody to love me, not just the refs. It's time for some NFL trivia. Trivia. I'm here. I'm here. Yes, we know you're here. All right. Patrick Mahomes here to play Showtime Holmes Trivia. All right. FSR security walking our broke Patrick into the main studio.

But feeling good. Good to be here. What up? So you're blaming your teammates for the loss? Absolutely. Cardinals. Don't worry, it means nothing. Preseason means nothing. All right, let's meet the contestants. 24 time winner, Rich Davis, right over here. All right, let's go in for 20 time champion, Dan Byer is Big Mike, who doesn't run anything. That is me, Big Mike.

Let's get it on. Damn right I'm ready. 24 days away, baby. Let's go. All right, I'm here.

A, the Rams. B, the packers or C, the Cowboys? Mike. Kevin. Big Mike. The Rams. Yes. LA Rams. Wow. Mike's bringing the boom Hunter was already in Hollywood. All right, we move on to round two. Big Mike on the board so far. What was I once quoted saying about youth sports? Say it again. What was I once quoted saying about youth sports? Oh, youth sports. Okay. Youths, youths, youths. A, kids in sports. It makes such an impact in life with the lessons that you learn. B, I'm excited to coach my own kids and be a junior. Andy Reid. Or C, in Pop Warner football, I was on the Raiders. And that's one of the reasons I love Max Crosby so much. Kev. Kev, hey, hey. Yes. Boom. Kev halfway to a CNR prize. Kev bringing the heat.

A, Sebastian Janachowski of the Raiders, B, Rob Baronis of the Titans, or C, Greg Zurline of the Rams? Mike Evans. Big Mike for the win. B, Rob Baroness is correct. Yeah. W for Big B. 2007 versus the Texans. Way to go, Mike. Way to steal the prize from our caller, man. Like, way to let it. I'm on delay, man. You know what? I would like to donate my winnings to Kev. Oh, man, what a guy. What a guy. In an unprecedented move. All right, Corpus Christi, you're gonna get a gift from CNR courtesy of Big Mike. Big Mike is transferring his IOU over to Kevin. That's right. That's as good as. And by the way, if you. If you're watching, if you're watching on our fox sports radio, YouTube channel. That is not an age. Stone cold Steve Austin. That's Big Mike. Who runs this place. I thought it was Rick from Pawn Stars when I got here. Oh, there he is. Thank you, Mike. And thank you guys. It's a pleasure being on my, my, my third favorite show again. Number two being Dan Patrick. Number three being you guys, Kavino and Rich. Number one, new heights, baby. Taylor Swift. Can't wait. Can't wait. New heights. Kelsey Chiefs, let's go. 24 days, baby. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Patrick. Yeah, better luck in your second preseason game. I can't wait to see Max Crosby sack him. By the way, Patrick Mahomes way too hyped up for the mornings here on Dan Patrick. I know it's. I know it's a little eye rolly because we know that everyone for the next 48 hours gonna be talking about Taylor Swift on Kelsey's podcast, her big album reveal. She revealed she has a new album. Patrick wouldn't stop talking about. I saw him in the lobby. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. It's a new era. Let me tell you. The sad reality is that I guess it's not so sad. It'll likely be the most listened to podcast ever. Oh, without a doubt. You think so? Yeah, I mean, the thing is they're not hateable in any way, so I'm not mad about it. But again, it's. It's because I'd imagine a really a sit down with Taylor and anyone would get a lot of views. Kelsey already has a high rated podcast. I can only imagine that this would, this would break some type of like Rogan interview or something. I agree with you. Yes. That's the takeaways. Like, did you hear that there's a new record in town? Two new records, Taylor Swift's record and the record of people listening to this podcast. I'd imagine so. And my question for you is they released one other statement from Travis Kelsey. He was interviewed, I believe by gq. Well, he's on. Isn't he on the COVID I saw the photos. I'm pretty sure it's the COVID is it not? He said what he loves about Taylor. One of the things is that, that she's just like his mom. And it sort of ties back to that David Justice. David justice story where he said Halle Berry wasn't doing cooking and cleaning and all the stuff his mom did, and he just wasn't used to dating a woman that didn't do those type of things. Do you subconsciously feel like we want to be with a Woman like our mom. Because I feel like my mother is nothing like what I. It's true. It has to be subconscious because I would say no. I'd say 100%. Really. I mean, and women date men like their father. Dr. Melfi always said that everything goes back to your mother. Everything, you know, goes back to your mom. But as far as dating, I was always looking for, and I say this respectfully, the opposite. I would see how my mom, and she's the best mom in the world, I have a smother. She smothered me with love, almost too much. But she would, as my dad would say, bust his chops all the time. So I would say to myself, here's what's interesting, man. I'm never going to be the one who busted my chops. And subconsciously, what did I end up with? Every woman you've dated has only busted you, right? Squeezing my shoes all day. They henpeck you. So consciously I'm like, hell no. Subconsciously, it's what you end up with. So maybe there is truth to that. They wouldn't talk about daddy issues and mommy issues so much if it wasn't a thing, right? Travis Kelsey says Taylor Swift's just like mama Kelsey. And he gushes over the organic, quote, unquote, organic relationship, as they put it. He opens up and says that the pop superstars, just like his mommy, gushed over his new relationship in GQ and pointed out how they have similar qualities, like ideal qualities that he looks for in a woman just like mama Kelsey. I think we're all going to take from our childhood. For years. I feel like people have denied, like, oh, yeah, I don't know, do you really look for someone or, you know, do your parents have an impact on you? And the answer is yes, you may not want to. You know, we always assume it has to do with looks. No, it could just be personality qualities. Like, you know, Taylor Swift and his mom, apparently both are very kind to everyone in the room and, you know, looking for someone that's just kind and apparently they are in love. And that'll be your most listened to podcast ever. And that's tomorrow. That's tomorrow. Patrick Mahomes. Real excited about it. Are you excited about it? Props to them. It'll be number one without a doubt. Well, like I said, a trailer dropped yesterday of the interview within minutes, like 20. Over 20 million people within minutes. I don't know what it was. It was really just one line. It was her saying that they're really gonna do this, aren't we Travy. What did she say? Like, that color looks good on you. And he's wearing a blue shirt. He's like, it's a color of your eyes, baby. Yeah, we're talking about on the bleep in podcast or something. Are we really about to do a bleep in podcast? And again, stupid. 120 million people. It was 13 seconds. There was some kind of relevance for that significance. And then she reveals the album art of their new stuff. All right, now I gotta ask, you said this before, Covino, but I want to dive in for a few minutes before you get out of here today. Who are you? Gotta. We got a good half hour left. Do you think every winning team, every championship caliber team needs some type of magic? You say magic, I say corny rally cry. I don't think every team needs that. I think that's kind of lame. It's gimmicky. Okay? And I say that because there's a team in Major League Baseball grasping for moments. But there's a team in baseball that has won 10 in a row, and they joke about how it might have to do with a pancake in a pocket. If you don't know what we're talking about, we'll get to that next. Last year, I'll tell you, I think you could argue your Dodgers won the World Series. But outside the Dodgers, there was nothing more fun than watching the Mets playoff run. And that was all grimace and huck to a girl. And all like those gimmicks kept a fan base alive in a way. And we'll talk about that next. Gimmicky or does a team need something like that? Do they need some mojo, something to rally behind? We'll get to that. Life moves fast. A new home, a new baby, a new chapter. But without an estate plan, your future's still vulnerable.

Today you're going to see all those parents posting on Facebook. Kids first day. But think about it. Three weeks from now, fall is going to be here. Whether it's still technically summer, who cares? In three weeks we're going to be talking about Thursday night NFL Kickoff. Can you believe that? Three weeks away and I'll be honest, no one loves football more than me. But the preseason speculation. I'm not saying I'm not down with it, but I think Denzel Washington sort of sums it up best and we'll get to that in just a little bit on the show. Had enough? It's so hard for me to really act as if we know anything just from watching preseason reps. To me, it's, it's, it's hard for me to get pumped about preseason as much as I love the NFL. So we'll get some more football coming coming up. But right now, Kavino, there's a story that got us thinking on a throwback Thursday. Yeah, Gary B. Not Gary V. Not Gary Vaynerchuk. That's our boy. Gary B. Boyadzian is driving his neighbors in Van Nuys, California, crazy. And he's mowing his lawn at 2am he's working on his car. He's banging. He's ringing alarms and blowing horns. The wee hours of the morning, it's been such a problem that it made the local news. And now it's become a national story. So much so that even Iowa Sam is saying, dude, I'm so tuned into this now because now the cops are involved, right? The news is involved. They finally caught up with Gary and are like, what's going on? Why are you being a jerk, essentially? Right? I mean, like. And he's saying that the reason for the horn and all the loud noise is because he's being harassed by his ex girlfriend's father. He's saying his ex girlfriend's father. I know it's confusing, but this is his story. He shows up later on the night and he speaks to Fox 11 or whatever. He's like, my ex girlfriend's father has been terrorizing and torturing me for the past 20 years. So he says he blasts the horn and he makes all this noise to bring awareness to law enforcement that he needs help and he wants them to do their job. So he wants justice served against the guy that's harassing him, therefore he's harassing everybody else. The whole thing doesn't make sense. And Iowa Sam is saying from following this, he believes that the dude is just sort of not right in the head. I'm even more confused by your explanation. Just my unofficial opinion. I don't think he's mentally there for a little more details because I unfortunately watched the whole clip. He says that 13 different occasions this girl's dad has sent guys to beat him up. And the police have taken him into custody, arrested him, and nothing happened to the guys who beat him up. This is why you need to. Oh, and he smacked the girl, by the way, when they broke up, he slapped her. And that's why? He thinks the dad has it out for her. So he wants justice because the police did nothing and he's in danger. So therefore he's terrorizing the whole neighborhood, making all this noise every night. And they're like, we can't take it anymore. It's a weird and developing story. But what's relatable about it is that I think everybody has some sort of horrible neighbor story and, or a roommate story because they're calling this the neighbor from hell. That's how bad it is. Can you beat the neighbor? The neighbor from hell. I, you know, I could think of all the people in this room. I don't even know if you could think of half your stories. I've thought of a few stories that I know over the last 10, 20 years of knowing you about neighbors from hell. Well, unfortunately, I moved a lot and it seemed to be a pattern. You would think I was the common denominator, but I really wasn't. There was one particular story that I remember. I moved into this neighborhood and I swear to God, I. We used to call them the Devil's rejects. That's the one probably that comes to mind to you first. And there was a bunch of like sketchy looking, hillbilly folks, let's just say that. And they did everything in the front of their house. Like the front of the house looked like Sanford and Son. It was one of those things, right? It was a nice neighborhood. And they were doing like bench press on the front lawn, right? They're working out. They have a whole like gym and they're front driveway. And it's like, what is going on here? Everything they did was sketchy and weird and they were really weird guys. But the worst story that I remember from living next door to the Devil's rejects was, I swear to God is a true story. There was a car that came by and they were beeping in front of the house. This is just one of many stories, but the one that stands out the most, beeping in front of the house. And I hear all these obscenities and all the shouting, all this back and forth, forth, and I dip out to see what's going on. I'm cons. I'm the concerned neighbor. Like, what's going on? What's all this racket? The Devil's rejects. My neighbors come out with their tank tops and their boxer briefs and their beer and their. They come out and they start shooting at the people in the car. So I'm not even making shooting guns. True story. Yeah. They had their Pit. No, no, no. Like, they were sure to. McGavin. I was saying, well, I don't know what to shoot. They were shooting dirty looks at them. Yeah, yeah, they were playing laser tags. Arms. I'm not even joking you. And again, this is a nice neighborhood in Los Angeles. This isn't the barrio. This isn't some hillbilly town. This is like the, the suburbs of la. Like, are you kidding me? I couldn't believe that these people, like, existed in this neighborhood. And everything they did was just the worst. They would take their garbage, you know, if their garbage was full, because they were always like working on stuff. So they would take their trash and fill my garbage cans all the time. And it became a problem. Like, yo, like, what if I need room? I needed room for own garbage and I had no room in my garbage cans. Cuz they were filling up my garbage cans all the time. Oh, boy. Everything they did was a hassle and a hoff. And I called them the devil's rejects. That's just. That's just one neighbor. You had another neighbor that would steal your water. Kavino would find the guy grabbing. During a drought. During a drought. During a drought, would go there and fill up buckets of water from Cavino's hose. Dude, we had him on camera. We had to confront them. Swear to God. Why are you still in my water? Yeah, he would come there with buckets thinking nobody was home and he was stealing water from our faucets. For what? To bathe? I don't. Dude, I have no idea. My ex confronted him. She's like, what are you doing? And he explained that his wife was putting him up to it. Like, you're a pathetic guy. Oh, boy. Yeah, so that's another story. I always had all these crazy neighbor stories, man. For sure. Our video guy spot might have the worst neighbor story. Oh, you mean the guy that was upstairs on my balcony? So I would be sitting in my living room, and we live in Southern California, so most of the year you like to leave the door open, let some air come in, enjoy the beautiful weather. Several times a day from the upstairs balcony, the guy would come out. I assumed he was a smoker. And all I would hear is. And then he would hock it over his balcony. And there was one time, or no, no joke, I was standing on the edge of the balcony enjoying the weather. He comes out, does that. It like lands near my hand, like right near, like spitting directly down on me. And I like yelled up at him and he didn't acknowledge. He just went Back inside. We actually called him Spot. We call him Loogie. I love him Loogie. Guy lived right above Spot. And I remember Spot Spot telling the final straw was Lu GY Howser the final straw? Sam, please play a rim shot on yourself. No, I refuse. I was actually. Am I correct in saying even during like Covid, when people, when people are like real cautious because they didn't know what was going on, you're sitting on your balcony and he, you know, he's spitting his dirty ass spit on the balcony. Really? And we were home a lot, so I would hear this all the time. And I'm not really a Karen or a Darren or whatever you say. Aaron. Yeah, an Aaron. It was the height of COVID I actually did report it to the building because it was disgusting. Not that I was worried about. I was just more. I wanted to get him. Yeah. We established yesterday in for Dan Patrick that the male equivalent of a Karen is now an Aaron after Aaron Rodgers complaining about the new helmets he has to wear. Yeah, he's an Aaron. Yeah. Yeah, he's an Aaron. So, yes, imagine Spot watering his plants or even having a glass of wine with his wife on his own patio. Having to deal with that sound and the visual of the loogies dripping down in the middle of his. Of his toast to his beautiful wife. Like, the whole thing was horrible. We witnessed it. It was gross. So based on all these stories and based on Gary, who's making now national news, the neighbor from hell, what are your worst neighbor and roommate stories? 87799 on Fox. I'll leave you with one more story I could make real quick. Quick. Oh, what about, what about, what about cigarette buckeye? Who? Which one? When you lived in Jersey, the person that would put all their dirty ass cigarette butts and make a collection by your doorstep. Oh, dude, in my bushes. Yeah. Yeah. Hundreds of them. Yeah. There would be a guy who would. Who would use my bushes as his ashtray and I had to approach him. Yeah. I'm like, enough of this, dude. Yeah. I have so many of these stories, but in college, dude, again, if we're going to incorporate great roommates to this story, I had a roommate that would get so, so drunk. So twisted that one time I was in bed with my college girlfriend and I had one of those. This just adds to the story because it was aggravating for me. I would use one of those, you know, those big giant woolly Mexican blankets. Yeah. I brought that with me to college. I know chicks love it. I know what you're thinking, yeah, I know. Yeah. My deep guy gave it to me. This is a wool blanket from the 1600s. So I have this blanket on me. We're cuddled underneath. We're sleeping in the middle of the night. My worst roommate was so twisted in the moment, he makes a wrong turn and thinks my bedroom is his. The bathroom. And let's just say he uses my bed as his urinal. Yeah, as the urinal in the middle of the night. Not only on my girlfriend, but on my precious passed down woolly blanket from the 1700s. But I remember it. I remember hitting my back thinking, what? And I turned around, seeing this dude. Swear to God. True story. It did not end well. I got two quickies and we'll go to your feedback. I had. When I was on the east coast, I owned a house and I rented out a one bedroom apartment that was connected to my house, like a separate unit. So you're like, hey, I'll help. This person can help me pay my mortgage. I'll rent out the side apartment. That's when you think everyone's normal and then you realize everyone you rent to is a lunatic. I had a girl, fake cancer to get out of her leash. Oh, how disgusting. And I remember being like, oh, my God, that's the worst thing you could do. And then I had some really quiet girl. She was like, she was a lesbian. And that's part of the story because she's like, I remember her selling herself. Like, I'm just a quiet girl that keeps to herself, you know, me and my girlfriend, like, just simple lesbian. Just a simple lesbian. That was like her selling point. I'm just a chill lean. Yeah. I was like, oh, chill lesbian. Okay, cool. Stop it. And when I tell you I come home one day and there is a lesbian royal rumble on my front lawn. There's like seven lesbians fighting over who's hooking up with who. I had a call. I had to call the police and be like, yo, there is a. It was like. Honestly, it was like a WNBA brawl. It was wild. Yeah, people are tough, man. So think about that, though. If everybody has terrible stories and we all do. 87799 on Fox to share yours. Imagine how bad this guy Gary must be to be deemed now the neighbor from hell. He must be pretty bad, man. Yeah. So let's. Let's take a couple quickies. I will get into some NFL, but like I said, Denzel Washington will explain why it's hard to really talk about preseason football. Coming up, we'll explain John Of Montana. You're on a kavin on Rich. What's up, buddy, bud? Hey, guys. Love the show. Thank you, man. Yeah, so years ago, I was living with my now ex wife in a fourplex. And, you know, nobody love loves or anything, like, having to deal with, like, domestic violence, like, neighbors and everything. So at one point, there was just enough was enough, and I went down to, like, check on them, see if everything was okay. The woman who actually was the victim, she ended up getting mad at me because I was, like, trying to help. So I'm like, all right, screw this. I'm just gonna call the police. And then the police got in there, and like, two weeks later, they were all evicted. And, like, we never heard from them. I'm just like, why? Why not accept any sort of help, you know? Yeah. No, dude, it's. It's amazing. You wonder, like, how do these people pass the process? But I guess people gotta live somewhere. There's trash bags everywhere. Bad neighbors, bad roommates. It happens. Spot, in college, didn't you have a roommate that always kicked you out because he was like a sex fiend? I mean, that's just college. Like, Spot would always come home. And the guy, it was a big dude. Was it like a bad big guy on the basketball team? And he, like, puts a note on the door, like, not allowing you back in or something. I mean, everyone's been there, right? We've all been there. The occasional sock on the door. But, like, to not have access to your own place, Spot had to sleep. Spot, how to sleep in the freshman lounge three days a week. What was his name? Spot. I remember that. Ugana. Ugana. And I remember. Yeah, we joked about you got to sleep outside Uganda. That's so funny, dude. Oh, man. You know what else is really unfortunate, too, is a lot of these neighbor stories. Like, if you're a homeowner and you have one of these neighbors, they're just bringing down the value, bringing down the vibe. It's like, if you take a lot of pride in your home and you have that one a hole who's not keeping things up to par, and he's the guy letting the house go in the neighborhood go. It's like, what an eyesore that you have to deal with because you have to. He's looking at your house. Your house is beautiful. You got to look at his. His. His trash all the time. And. And I think it's different if you rent or own your place, because if you rent leases up, if you're that unhappy, you could be like, you know what? This person's so bad, they're driving me out of here. I'm. I'm getting a new place. It's the worst. If you own your home and it's like your home where you're raising your kids, school district, a bad neighbor, you're sort of stuck with them. Yep. It's unfor. It's really wor. Anytime one of your neighbors moves, I know we all have that same feeling where it's like, like, please have the new person be normal. Please have the new person be normal. Please. That's a real risk. When you're renting in an apartment complex, you're almost guaranteed to have a couple of crazy neighbors. Yeah, it's true. It really is. That's a fact. I would rather have, though, a neighbor if maybe they have a blighted property. As long as they're not bothering me. If they're not doing the noise thing after dark. Yes, maybe it's dilapidated home. I understand it brings down property values, but like, if they're blasting music, if they're doing weird stuff like this Gary dude, that's where I have a real problem. You're infiltrating my life now. Sam, I feel like you'd be a great neighbor. I'm very aware of how loud am I playing music. If I see a package left by our mailboxes, I'll take it to their doorstep. I try to be a good neighbor, and I expect other people to like a good neighbor. Iowa, San, Missouri. The guy John in Montana, he's a good neighbor. He went over because he cared and he knocked on the door. And for that woman to get mad at him, she's just stuck in some terrible situation. Ma', am, you think that my luck would change, right? I own a condo now. It's like my post divorce proud condo that I had and I have. And the day I moved in, the day I moved in, the movers ran late. So I'll say I. I take accountability that the move ran late and you're not supposed to move into like a condo complex. Like after 10pm it was like midnight at this point and they were still moving some stuff in. But that was on the move. Movers, not necessarily on main. There was nothing I could do. I wasn't gonna leave my stuff with the movers. Long story short, I'm moving in. It's my first day there in this new building. Some maniac woman that lives there came barging into my front door in her nightgown to yell at Me like I was a schoolboy and reprimand me, and I was like, get out of my house, crazy lady. And great first impression. Yeah, my first night there, she called the police on me, dude. Swear to God. That great. Got off to a great start there. Yeah. These are the people that I got to deal with. Never mind the crazy hoa in your neighborhood. Exactly. So it's a very relatable story, and I think that's why Iowa, Sam's been following it, why Danny G. Brought it up, and why we're bringing it to you here on Fox Sports Radio. Gary, the neighbor from hell in Van Nuys, California. You'll be seeing it on your social media feed, I'm sure, within no time. Darryl, you're on in Washington State. What's up, buddy? Hey, can you guys hear me okay? Yeah, you're on, man. What's up? Yeah, so I had a roommate, man, and basically one of my pet peeves is drinking juice out of the carton. And, like, he was notorious for drinking my stuff. And I come home and the juice would be drinking. You could see like a piece of meat, like, backwash in it. And then we also had a rule. He smoked. So the deal was no smoking in the place. You take it out to the balcony. But I come home and I smell smoke. And it was like, I wasn't smoking. It's like, come on, man. So, yeah, when you talk about. No, it's funny, Daryl. It's so funny. And again, we all have friends or family that smoke cigarettes or weed or whatever. Through the years, I always found it funny when. When smokers would try to pull a fast one on you. Like, I don't smoke in my car. And I'm like, dude, we have a friend, Barry. Remember our buddy Barry Covino? Of course he smelled like weed all the time. He was convinced. I go, dude, you just got a brand new car and you're smoking cigarettes and weed in your car. And he's like, yo, it doesn't smell, bro. I'm like, you don't think it smells like an ashtray? Come on, come on. It's Cuz. He's been in the. He's been in it. Like, he doesn't understand. Rocky in Stockton, California. What's up, Rock? Hey, man, can you hear me? All right. Yeah, you're on. Hey, man. Yeah, Just wanted to say get it out of the way before I end thing, you guys. I'm not to be kissing ass or anything, but you guys are great. You guys are doing the best. The best show on the radio. So we'll put that out there. Oh, thank you. Means a lot, man. Yeah, no problem. So, hey, so, yeah, this was like back in. Back in the early 90s when I was a kid, man, when we. Our very first night, we moved into this new house and our neighbors came to our house. A couple tried to sell us a Thanksgiving turkey. I mean, we're not even done loading anything yet. They're trying to sell us the turkey. My dad turned them down. They turned around and asked to borrow money. They didn't even know us. You want a turkey? Yeah. I mean, they should have known. We should have known what was to come. The whole time there, they live next to it. They would just constantly come over ringing the doorbell, asking to borrow this, that, and the other. Even money is like, man, come on, we don't even know you people. Guys, I need you to tell me now. You know, perspective changes as you get older. Could we play a quick round to wrap this? Could we play around if. Was I the bad neighbor or were they the bad neighbor? I love this topic, by the way. I'm getting all riled up over here, all hot and bothered. Please, let's, let's. Let's be real here. When I was a kid, in my mind, Vinnie was a bad neighbor. This old Italian guy. You know why? Because anytime the kids in the neighborhood would play tackle football, he would put his sprinklers on so that no one would go on his lawn. But now as an adult, I'm like, were we the bad neighbors for going on his lawn? Or was he the kids, or is he the bad neighbor? Like, if we were playing wiffle ball, anything there where we'd go near his property, he just crank on the sprinklers purposefully to disrupt the game. Or if we were playing street football, you know, where the curbs are, the sidelines, essentially, he would park there so we wouldn't play rich as an adult. You totally understand. Now, come on, dude. If you saw a bunch of kids from the neighborhood playing on your lawn, you would have a flip out. Dude, my. My childhood was spent playing team hide and seek. We called it manhunt, which sounds weird as an adult now. Manhunt, a game some may still play, but we played manhunt Team hide and seek. Do you know how many neighbors. I probably stepped in their flower beds and stuff. If a kid stepped on my roses right now, I would punch a kid. I mean, the flowers I get. But when we were just throwing a football around on somebody's green grass. Yeah, I Wouldn't care, honestly, if there were neighborhood kids and they went on my lawn. Cause they were playing football and the ball would go on my lawn. I wouldn't care. But there were neighbors. You know, everyone had that neighbor where if. If it went in their backyard, they went in there yard like, it's mine. Yeah, everybody has that name. We had. We had a neighbor in Rialto, California. If one of our balls went in his backyard, he took a buck knife out and popped the ball. While we were hater. Yeah, while we were watching. Like, he made sure. He made sure to have eye contact and then. Sounds like out of a TV show. Danny, you look at me, kid pop. Like, I get that. Like, you're ruining someone's grass. You're messing up their sod. Like make. Let's say they put a lot of time grass. Like, if you're the kids, maybe you ask permission if you can play in the yard or like, you should clear that. I understand where he's coming from. Yeah. One funny story. One of the moms at the school that my wife and I are friendly with, they caught someone on the ring doorbell constantly letting the dog go to the bathroom on their lawn. Oh, that's the worst. And they confronted. Sorry. They confronted the person with video. Like, here's you and your dog. It's like an episode of Cheaters. Like, here's you and your dog. Your dog is squatting, like, near my porch. And the woman was like, no, not my dog. It must have been a coyote. And it's like the video gaslighting I have in my hand. I used to hate too rich. I confronted neighbors because. And I'm not looking for trouble. I'm just a chill straight man. I'm just a chill guy. I had neighbors that would always throw their dog's poop in a. In a bag and. But never really tied in my garbage cans when they were on the street. I'm okay with her. Yeah, but dude, what would happen is they would smush on the bottom of the can and it would be disgusting. All because they'd be throwing their stuff in my can. How are you okay with that? That's fair game. That's not fair. Is the trash going out or has it already been emptied? If it's empty, do not throw it in, by the way. Yeah, but could that just. You're right. Also tie the bag. It would be so gross every time. Because they would use my garbage can smells if you don't talk. I was Sam. I was Sam's. I was Sam's right. There's a right answer and a wrong one. If the garbage had been picked up and your empty cans waiting to be pulled back, you don't put your dog poo in there. That's what I mean. On the bottom of the can. But you know, if garbage, if garbage comes Friday morning and someone's walking their dog Thursday night and the cans are out, fair game. That's fine. That's fine. Exactly. Deal. All right, let's take one quickie. Wallace in North Carolina. We haven't talked to Wallace in a while. What's up, man? Hey, Wallace. What's up? Say h grommet. What's up? First I want to say y'. All. Y' all make my ride home enjoyable every night. Oh, thanks, man. So I live in a house in a community. I have a house. People are 250 yards away from me. In the next house, new neighbors move in. I smoke cigars. They come over the first day they're in there, tell me I can't smoke cigars on my backpack because they can smell two football fields. Two footballs fields. And they're busting your chops. Yes. So I said, well, that's fine. I said, I'll see what I can do about it. That week, the first weekend, I invited every person I knew to come smoke cigars on my back deck. That's so funny. Thank you. Thank you. Wallace. Wallace. You know, that, that's, that's a beautiful thing. And I think again, he has every right. It's his home. You know, when you live in an HOA sort of situation, that's the nightmare because there's not a whole lot you could do about that. When people complain about things like that, you know what?

Go ahead. What's the next line? What's the next line? Oh, I. I got my backpack on, my shoes tied tight. I hope I don't get in a fight. Oh, is that it? Back to school. I think that is it. Back to school. So as you see kids go back to school. School. Let's see how dumb you are. What do you remember from your college days of Watching Billy Madison on VHS tape. What about it? My question is, can you name three teachers from the movie? Well, Ms. Lippy, definitely. Oh, Ms. Lippy. Oh, yes. Ms. Lippy and her finger paintings. Veronica Vaughn. So hot. Want to touch the heiney? And I have to know another one. Yeah. Oh, Principal. That guy. The horny guy. P.S. i'm horny. Yeah, him. Oh, the revolting blob. Anderson. Principal Anderson. Yeah. Was that the third? You were all right. Look at you. I kind of won. Thank you. Danny G Was my lifeline. He gave me the assist, the alley oop. Yeah. That guy was so horny. Spell razuto. All right, so before we get into Denzel Washington, best actor ever. It's not even a word. He has something to say about sports and. And sports broadcasting. Talking heads. He calls them Opinionaires. Before we get into that, I'm telling you a true story. And I'm so proud of myself for resisting. So proud of myself because it wasn't the time and place. I went to a beautiful celebration of life. I went to my girlfriend's grandma, who's like a mom to her. I can't say funerals. A celebration of life. Right. She had passed away months ago, and her request was, when I'm gone, I want the family to all get together here because this was my favorite place. I had never. Cool idea. Lake Tahoe in a beautiful cabin, beautiful setting. I had never been there. I was blown away. That's a whole other story. Like, hey, why haven't you. I've been in California for 17 years. No one's like, have you been to Lake Tahoe? Because it was amazing. Of course I've heard of it. And I knew in my head it was probably beautiful, but my goodness. Next level. So I'm there, and we're all celebrating the life of this wonderful woman of grandma. Yeah. And there was a guy there, clearly the coolest guy in the room. And I say that respectfully, and I mean it. Like, this guy was the guy who seemed to be the coolest one there. Right. And I say that. Who knows cool more than you? Yeah. I mean, I got that sort of radar going on. Like, that's the coolest guy. We should probably chop it up a little bit. So I say that because he really was a cool dude. He really was. I had met him for the first time. He was there, and he was wearing. I'm not exaggerating. I thought Ken Caminiti walked in. He was wearing. He was wearing a Padres jersey, a Padres T shirt underneath. And A Padres hat. So I pulled the automatic obvious big Padres fan. I thought that was a no fair. Hey, man, what a year they're having, man. They're putting the Dodgers in their place. I thought this was going to be a full on yo, Fernando Tatis, am I right? Conversation. But of course, nothing is ever as it seems. And he says to me, respectfully, because he was a cool guy, he says, nah, I'm actually a fan of both. And I said, but what do you mean both the Dodgers and the Padres say, what now? Yeah. I was like, huh, huh? And my natural instinct kicked in where I'm like, you can't. But then I realized I don't know this man that well. Didn't it backfire, by the way, didn't this backfire with you recently also where someone was wearing a band T shirt? It is so funny. And you tried. I had a flashback. And you tried to make small talk and you're like, oh, big. They had like a rush shirt on. What was it? I went to get like some bodywork appraised on my car, right? This is an endorsement for. Should have went to Mako. Oh, when you say I went to some jabroni. I thought when you went to the body shop, I thought that was the strip club in la. No, I actually went to this like weird body shop somewhere because someone knew a guy. And this is before I knew about the great deals of Mako. I walk up to the guy, the guy has a full on KISS T shirt, right? And he had all these tattoos and he looked like a Roadie from the 1980s. You know the look I'm talking about? Like, it looked like he was on the road with KISS back in the late 70s, early 80s, right? Hasn't got a legitimate hair, hasn't updated his hairstyle since 88. Yeah, he looked like again, a roadie from a rock band. He had a Kiss Kiss T shirt on. I was like, yo, man, big Kiss fan. He's like, no, I got this at a thrift shop. I was like, well, all right. He's like, I hate the. And then he goes on to tell me how he hates the man Kiss. I'm like, why are you wearing the shirt? I was just trying to make small talk. I really don't care. How much are you charging me for this bodywork. So again, never judge a book by its cover. Nothing's what it seems. Avoid small talk. Because I go to this guy, Padres, Huh? He goes, well, yeah, but no. I'm like, what do you mean but? Yeah, but nah, he's like, I like both. I'm like, and I did. I said, you can. I said, they're rivals. He's like, nah. He goes, think about it, you know, whoever win, I still win. And I'm like, yeah, but that's not how it works. But then again, I'm not trying to like, whoever wins, I win. Yeah, I win. Hedging your bets? No, but here's how he explained it. I wish I could have that mentality because it's a full. It's like. It's brilliant, but stupid. What he said to me, though, it all made sense in the moment. And then it also clicked to me. Like, I'm not gonna debate this guy we just met. He's a cool guy. He was cool, and I really did like him. And we're at, like, a celebration of life. Not the time or place to be like, nah, man, it's not how it works. So he said, think about it. Logistically, he's like, I'm not the only guy. There's a lot of us. Maybe people don't advertise it the way I do. I'm just real about who I am. He goes, I lived in la. I moved to San Diego. Like, geographically, it makes sense. I'm from la, so I grew up loving the Dodgers, but I really love San Diego. No, no, no, I'm just telling you. I'm telling you what he said. Okay, But I take offense to this as a lifelong Dodgers fan. Yeah, go ahead. Dodgers fans always take over almost half that stadium. And of course, it's changed a little bit here in the past couple of years with more Padres fans. Padres fans have gotten a pretty. They've been developing a pretty cool home field advantage because they used to be caught and cool. Now they're loud and a little bit abrasive sometimes outspoken. Covino's favorite rappers are Padres fans. That's what's it. But if I moved to San Diego, which is a beautiful city, but if I moved there, I would stay a true blue Dodgers fan and go to their stadium and represent as a Dodgers fan. Now you. If you do, if you didn't have a team and you moved to a new city and you took on their personality in their team, I get that. But if you have a team already, you don't go to a rival and also become a fan of their team. And that's why I brought this up, too. Not to call out this dude, but a. To say how. How proud I am of myself to have the restraint to really dive into that and just let it slide again, time and place. How? This might be the greatest example of. No, especially now, because that rivalry is so strong and they're playing this weekend. It's like, are you kidding me? You're playing tonight. Padres on the loose. What's up, goose? That's what, let me tell you. The Padres, Dodgers, impossible to like both. But then again, another one that's just as bad. Well, here's my thought. My thought is like, I get it. You move and you maybe adapt to the new city. No, but changing your sports teams is like, something that is just. That's within you. I know that sounds dramatic, but, like, I'm a New Yorker. I've been in Los Angeles for 10 years. I'm a Mets fan. I can't. Like, it would be very easy for me to be like, let me just root for the Dodgers. They've been great. What do you do? You just give up on who you like? I don't get. I don't get that mindset said. I question whether or not you're really a fan. Yeah, I don't know, man. He was all decked out like we said. Imagine going to imagine being a New Yorker and being like, you know what? I'm a big Giants fan. I thought Tony Gwynn was at the party. I'm a big Giants fan. But you know what? I went to college at Villanova, spent some time down in the Philly area. I also like the Eagles. You can't like the Eagles and the Giants. You can't like my Padres. My compromise was this. And the Dodgers. I'm a Yankees fan. I was like, I don't hate the Mets, but with the whole Soto thing now, I'm definitely not rooting for them at all. It's the most I ever hated him. Yeah, but. But. And even the Mets and Yankees aren't rivals. It's more of like a city alliance thing. Like Dodgers, Padres might be. It's a top three. Like, you can't do that. But he did. You know what it's like. You know, a lot of teams, Danny, won't trade, honestly, within their division because it just feels wrong. A lot of GMs and a lot of teams, like, are reluctant to perhaps trade players within a division because it just seems. Seems like odd, right? Like, you don't want to give someone something or. Rich, you're one of the biggest Niners fans that I know, and because of that, I pay attention a little bit to you, to that team now over the past five years. But that would be like you moving to Seattle and we're on some big radio station in Seattle or something like that. And you start becoming a Seahawks fan, too, and you wear a Seahawks hat and a niner shirt. It's B.S. it's like, you ever see a politician throw on the hat of a team in a. In a city? Like, you're like, just full baloney. Stop it. It's so disingenuous. Nothing bothers me more than a politician. Didn't Giuliani do that? Like, with a team other than the Yankees? I believe we caught recently Rick Pitino and Sebastian Maniscalco trying to root for both the Cubs or White Sox or the Yankees and the Mets. Yeah, you're really not ingrained on the rivalry and what's really going on. And Sebastian, with all due respect, I love Sebastian. He's actually a friend of the show. Oh, yeah. He's not a big sports guy. He's more of, like, a comedy music guy. He's more of, like, a dancing comedian. Yeah. I mean, like, he's a funny guy. But how come he's never come on our show? Oh, he's big time just now. He can't be a Cubs fan and a White Sox fan. It just. It just feels wrong. Like, I get it because there are some people that are like. I like both. I have a buddy Scott out here, one of my. One of the dads at the school. I really. And he's like. He has an Angels hat, but he's like, oh, I like the Dodgers, too. Is that okay, Danny? Because it's a L, N, L. And the Angels hat. It's more understandable. It's not as bad. And it's a true story. That's why I shared it. We've debated these type of things in the past, but this one's very particular. And it's more about. Honestly, it's more about knowing when to dive into these conversations. Sometimes you let things slide. Guys like Rich can't let things slide. Rich is the kind of guy I. That. He's at the barbershop and he hears someone say something wrong, and he jumps out of left field like he's making all these bass. You're like, slide out of left field. Yeah, I can't handle it. If I hear someone say, comes out of left field, like, he's Jason Dominguez to correct the guy. I can't stand by while someone says foolish stuff. Like, if I hear someone drop some inaccuracies about sports or music or something at the barbershop gym, I'm Like, I'm sorry. Excuse me. Pardon me. What you're saying is wrong. Davis over here. I can't handle it. If I met this guy Camino care if it was at a wake or funeral or a beautiful moment, I would have been like, yeah, but with all due respect, we're here for grandma. But what are you talking about? You can't like the Dodgers and the Padres. But he was such a cool dude, though. He really was. I'm not just saying that because he could be listening. But, no, he really was, and that did really happen. So if you have any other examples of, like, impossible, hit us up at Covino and Rich. And you're always welcome to call 877-99-FOX. We love talking to you guys and chopping it up. You know what? I see it a lot in our industry, being we work in broadcasting before the world of national podcasting became a big thing. Right. Like, podcasting and national shows are what people listen to the most now, right? Yeah, but podcasts are like stinkholes, Rich. Everybody has one, but. And most of them stink. As far as audio entertainment, it's at a height right now because people do listen to radio and podcasting more so than ever, which is awesome, Right? I do always find it funny when the local morning guy, like, we do a national show. I love that. We talk to, you know, hundreds of affiliates around the country. When are you filming for Dan? What is dan on, like, 600 different radio stations? Yeah. When you're on one local station, I always found it a little fishy when the new morning radio guy or, you know, the, you know, some new show comes into town and they like the local teams. I'm like, you're full of shiitake mushrooms. You're full of baloney. Like, and I'll call my buddy out because he's now so part of the city. But we mentioned the other day our buddy Nico, who works in Phoenix. I just saw him throw out a first pitch at a Diamondbacks game. I met him. He was a Tigers fan, and he's from Detroit. Nico. When we'd go to the club back in the day, in our 20s, Nico always wore that crisp Detroit Tigers hat. Now he's, yeah, you look like Alan Trammell now. I thought it was Matt Noakes in 86. He's been in Phoenix for, like, a decade. He's the big morning guy there. I see him, like, hosting events for the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks. And I, I. There's a part of me that's like, come on, man. Would you like them? Maybe you can. It's not like the Tigers. It's not like the Tigers had rivals with, with the Diamondbacks. Right. I mean, again, for professional reasons, I'm sure it was easier for him, but. Well, our boss told me, he goes, my man, the Dodgers pay the bills. You should like the Dodgers. And you know what? I've been here for a decade. Can I root for the Dodgers? I think that's okay. I mean, I've been here for a decade, but I feel like the minute if I pulled that sleazy move and I was like, goodbye, Mets, that's when they would finally do something. All right, let's say hi to Elijah in Fresno. What's up, man? You're on with Kavino and Rich. Hey, what's going on, guys? Thank you for having me. Oh, no problem. Cavino met a guy that said he's a Padres and Dodgers fan. Is that possible? So the only way that I feel like it would be okay is I have a son and I'm a die hard Cleveland sports fan. I'm a Browns Indians. I refuse to call them a guardian. Yeah. Cavs fan. And if my son got drafted by the Steelers, I would throw on a Steelers jersey in a minute. You know, we've, we've. When we've had these conversations in the past, the one true exception is if you have a child or a family member, like, let's say my son Ben, who's 5. If my son Ben ended up getting drafted by the Phillies or the Braves, guess what? Later, Mets, my son's on the team. Rich is going to be like, I would start leading the chant. I would buy a Philly fanatic bobblehead. Rich is going to be a full suit. He's going to be politically incorrect with the whole headdress on there, rooting his son up. Dude, if you face paint and everything, if, if my kid ended up on the Cowboys or the Seahawks, a family affair at that point. Yeah, we get it. Your kids take priority. But I'm saying if you're just talking about. We've talked about that, but this was like a very specific, like, yeah, I don't know if you could do that, but you're doing it. So I just wanted to share the story. At the same time, I do feel bad if you saying it nationally on the radio. If you relocate. Yeah. And your kids are raised different than you. There's also that rub of, well, can your kids root for the team? Like, yeah, but those are things we've discussed a million times. Like this is like a specific rivalry. Like, you can't do both. My buddy. It's like watching a prize fight and you're like, hey, who are you rooting for? You're like, both. I just hope both sides have fun. Yeah, you can't do that. Like Sam, my buddy Mike, who we talked to the other day, who called up, lives up in Syracuse, New York. He's a lowly, sad jets fan. But his kids, because they're friends in school, upstate New York, they're all, Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills. And he's like, yeah, my kids like the Bills. What am I, New York's third team? He's like, what am I, what am I going to do? He goes, all their friends are Bills fans and the Bills are really good. And dad's a Jets fan. What am I going to be like? No. So, you know, let's go to Dave in Buffalo. Speaking of Buffalo, what's up, man? Hey, Dave. Hey, now. And Rich. What's up, buddy? Let me tell you something. If it wasn't for RDJ and back to school, we would eventually gotten. I am Iron Man. Baba booy. FA FA fooey. FA FA foo. Let's say hi to Mo and Tempe. What's up, Mo? Hey, Mo. Hey. Morning, guys. Hey. Hey. Shout out to Rialto. I grew up in Fontana. So much love out there. Nice. Yeah. So I grew up Niners fan, Dodgers, Lakers. And so I get it. My son, he's. I'm from, you know, he's there from Arizona. So he's. But he likes all of my rivals, which is horrible. He likes the Cardinals, he likes. The sun is like, oh, God, let me. So I got that. But then my brother in law, he's just an idiot. He likes the Broncos and then he likes the Chargers. I said, come on, you can't do that, man. I like the Broncos and the Chargers. That's. I think that's the rule. I think, I mean. And that's. I love the entire AFC West. Yeah, that's weird. Particular if you have two teams. That's not even what we're talking about. If you have two teams. Yeah. So bad. Whatever. You got your reason. Some people might. Rivals. That's when it doesn't add up. Yeah, that. That's the rub. And I think. Thank you for pointing that out because that was the one thing we hadn't said. It's not a matter of having two teams because that's also a little weird. But if you're like, yo, I grew up here, but I've lived The last. Hey, if you're in New York that's lived in Florida for the last 30 years or, you know, you've moved, they're called snowbirds. Snowbird, yeah. If you've moved and you're like, you know what? I really have taken a liking to this team, that's fine. I get it. But you can't be like, you know who I like, really love? The Red Sox and the Yankees. Exactly. Come on. Like. No, hey, hold on. You like two teams, but not those two teams. You know, I really find myself rooting for. For the packers and the Bears. No, it's like oil. It's like oil and vinegar. Oil and water. Whatever. They don't. They don't blend. All right, let's go to Jake in Burbank. What's up, Jake? Hey, guys. New York transplant for 20 years now in Los Angeles area, and every time people are like, oh, so you root for the Dodgers now? I'm like, no. What do you even say? Yeah, I agree. I'm an east coast guy living in LA and I have people like, you like the. Yeah. Do you like the Dodgers now? I mean, I guess if my team does. Your son likes the Dodgers, though? My son likes Otani. That bothers me, but. No, but he's allowed to. You like Ken Griffey Jr. Growing up. We all did. As long as my son's top players include some Mets. My son. Yeah, you're allowed to have favorite players. You know, my son. We're not crazy sports. Your son is going to be drawn to winners. Okay? Don't force feed him the Mets. My son, I. He's going to grow up loving the Dodgers because they win world. We all loved Michael Jordan growing up. Were you a Bulls fan? No. My son, Benny Boy, Little Ben. I go, who's your favorite players? I like Polar Bear Pete Lindor, Ohtani. And for some reason, Tatis. I'm like, hey, okay. I was like, you know what? Those are good guys to like, right? Teddy Sotani, Lindor. He doesn't say so. So I want so. So. Juan Solo. I wanted to share that story with you because it was so specific and. And I was. It was really a brag on my part to have the restraint to not really dive into it and just say, okay, cheers. Nice to meet you, bud. I bet you when he had that dumb conversation, he never thought it would be on 600 affiliates two days later. Oh, hell no. No, no. Oh, no. But he was a cool dude, but I really didn't understand that. So, anyway, thank you guys. For hearing me out. We got to talk about people like us. I guess the broadcasters in the world of sports talking head or as Denzel Washington calls them, opinionaires. And I think he throws a fatso in there too. I told you it's coming back that word. All right, so Denzel, we'll talk about a really interesting you said you just went to a celebration of life, a funeral. Awake.
