You're gonna 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 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 has 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 in 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 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, we used to call them the Devil's Rejects. That's the one probably that comes to mind to you first. And it 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 in their 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 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, firing 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. Cuz 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 my own garbage and I had no room in my garbage cans. Because they were filling up my garbage cans all the time. Everything they did was a hassle and a half. 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, Would go there and fill up buckets of water from Cavino's hose. 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 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. You know, 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 sometimes there was one time, or 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 it. He just went back inside. We actually called him Spot. We'll call him Loogie. I love him. Loogie. Guy lived right above Spot. And I remember Spot. Spot telling, the final straw was over here. Loogie Howser, the final straw. Sam, please play a rim shot on your. 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 over 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, but 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 yeah, 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. Oh, what about, what about, what about cigarette buckeye? 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, D again, if we're going to incorporate 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 teeth gave it to me. Are they wool Burlap? 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 the bathroom. And let's just say he. Oh no. 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. 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 lease. 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 a simple lesbian. Just a simple lesbian. That was like her selling point. I'm just a chill lesbian. 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 covino. Rich, what's up, 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. A sex fiend? I mean, that's just college. Like, Spot would always come home and the guy, it was a big dude. It wasn't like a 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 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. Gunna Uganda. And I remember, yeah, we joked, you got to sleep outside. You gonna. 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 and 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 trash all the time. And I think it's different if you rent or own your place, because if you rent, lease is 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 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 unfortunate. Anytime one of your neighbors moves, I know we all have that same feeling where it's like, please have the new person be normal. Please have the new person be normal. Please. That's a real thing, Rich. When you're renting in an apartment complex, you're almost guaranteed to have a couple of crazy neighbors. That's true. It really is. That. That's a fact. I would rather have though a neighbor if they, 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 blank blasting music, if they're doing weird stuff like this. Gary, dude, that's where I have a real problem. You're in. You're infiltrating my life now. Sam, I feel like you'd be a great neighbor. I'm very aware of, like, how loud am I playing music. Like, if someone. If I see a package left by our mailboxes, like, I'll take it to their doorstep. Like, I try to be a good neighbor and I expect other people 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. 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 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 movers, not necessarily on me. 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. 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, my. 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. 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 because he's been in the. He's been in it. He doesn't understand. Rocky in Stockton, California. What's up, Rocky? 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. Just want to put that out there. Oh, thank you, man. 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 a 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 because the whole time there, they lived 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. What the hell, guys? I need you to tell me now, you know, perspective changes as you get older. Can we play a quick round to wrap this? Can we play a round of 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, getting all hot and bothered. Please, 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'd 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's the jerk. He would park there so we wouldn't play rich. As an adult, you totally understand. Now, come on, dude. We 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 they 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 their yard. It's mine. Yeah, everybody had that neighbor. 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. What a mean guy. 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 into their 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. I. One funny story. My. One of the moms at the school that my wife and I are friendly with, they. 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. 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 bag, but never really tied in my garbage cans when they were on the street. I'm okay with that. 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, t. Gross they get. 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 hi to Gromit. 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 it. 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? Lots of great phone calls, lots of great feedback. In fact, hit us up Venonrich, and I'll urge you until we become the most streamed show on the network, I'm going to keep telling you.

Listen to no such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, I'm John Lithgow. We choose to go to the moon. I want to tell you about my new fiction podcast. That's One small step for Man. It's about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers in. You're a great pilot, Buzz.

I appreciate all the support. You guys are great. Here to us at Fox Sports Radio. Now, now, Camino, before We get to Denzel Washington. We were talking about, like, the worst neighbors and bad neighbors. That was our throwback conversation. A lot of great feedback there. We were just saying how, like, wherever you live, sometimes there's a reason why that really sweet apartment is available. Because there is some weird rub, like, oh, the lady that lives upstairs is a wackadoo. Like, sometimes when something seems too good to be true, that might be the reason. Man, this house has been on the market. How did no one scoop it up? And then you realize, like, the next door neighbors, like you said, are part of a motorcycle gang. Yeah. They're shooting guns out of their house saying, get out of my town. Yeah. It was horrible. So worst neighbor ever out of California. Neighbor from hell. Follow the story. We'll take one last call. We'll talk Denzel 87799 on Fox @ Covino and Rich on social media. Who do we got? Let's say, how do you do to Andy in Mississippi? He says he. He says he was the bad neighbor. You know, self awareness is good. What's up, Andy? Hey, guys. How's it going? What's up, bro? Hey. I was in my mid teens. My dad built a concrete dog run for my dog, and I'd have to go out there and spray it with a water hose to get the pee off. And then this is back when they had paper grocery bags, and I'd take two of those and put the poop in there. Well, I got sick of doing that. I'm thinking, huh, why don't you just throw it over the fence? Well, I picked the wrong fence. I should have picked the fence that was in our property. But I did our mutual fence with our neighbors, and about a week or so goes by, their kids were probably under 10. And like, so you've been picking up that, you know, taking care of Kelly. And I was like, yeah, yeah. It's like, well, doing the poop, taking to the trash. Yeah. Can you tell me why the neighbor's kids have freaking dog on the feet? What a great call. But you drop the S word. You can't do that. But hey, great call. You can hear the pod. To hear what he said next, catch the pod. Search Covino and Rick for every stream, your podcast or on the YouTube stream because we can't edit that. Right? See, look at that. If you want to hear what he said, YouTube. Hey, I want to move. I want to move on from poop again. If you want to hear what Andy said next. Could I cove. Could I. It's a good Story, though. Can I make one last rule before we get to Isaac and our. And our Denzel story based on the fact that we all want to be good neighbors, right? If you are getting work done, if you are having a landscape, like butt implants. Yeah. If you are getting work done, like a bbl. Now, if you. If, like, I'm like, we're redoing the pavers in our backyard, right? We're, you know, if you're getting some landscaping work done or, you know, a new garage door. What is the rule? Should you give your neighbors the heads up? Like, hey, just to be a neighborly neighbor hurts. Just. Yeah, it doesn't hurt. I don't think you have to. Saturday, we're gonna have some construction workers over. Pardon me in advance, you know, like, I think that goes a long way. It goes a long way because then they won't be a pain in the ass if they do make noise. It's like, if you warn your parents. I'm sorry. If you warn the. The neighbors, like, hey, we're gonna have a party. We might be a little loud. It's a graduation party. They'd be less inclined to be an ass to you if you give them a heads up or invite them over for a drink. Your neighbor's never gonna complain if you say, hey, we're having a cookout. Why don't you swing by for a drink? Guess what that neighbor won't do. Call the cops if you're loud. Hey, Rich, I'm moving in next door, okay? That'd be a great neighbor. I'll be over all the time. My neighbors are selling their house soon, and it is a fear of mine. I'm not gonna lie. But, dude, you gotta be real, a real stick in the mud tight ass to want to call the police or complain when people are just having a good time. You know, if they're celebrating a quinceanera or Hank's retirement party. You know what I mean? Like, dude, there was a quinceanera in my neighborhood, and it was like right behind my house. They had a full on mechanical bull that I could see from my patio. A Mexican DJ. They had like 800 people there. My only complaint was that I wasn't invited. Yes, exactly. Yeah. And we all know you. You love the tortas. All right, let's. Let's go to Lowencraft for an update. And then no one then. And then a great clip from Denzel Washington talking about sports media. What's up, Isaac? Fellas, the Florida state attorney's office has declined to file charges against Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins after he was accused of misdemeanor battery last month. Meanwhile, a grand jury in Collin County, Texas, has declined to file charges against former Texas receiver Isaiah Bond after he was accused of sexual assault in April and subsequently was not selected in the NFL draft. A short time after that, Bond announced on social media that now that he's been cleared, he is signing with the Cleveland Browns. Elsewhere, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh announced that Justin Herbert will start at quarterback on Saturday against the Rams and play a series or two. It'll be Herbert's first career preseason appearance. Horrible idea. Sorry, sorry, guys. I've been bothered by a little chest cold recently. Anyway, in Major League baseball, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. S two run home run at the bottom of the seventh inning G the Toronto Blue Jays, a 21 win over the Chicago Cubs. And finally, guys, in NBA statue news, the Los Angeles Lakers announced today that they will unveil a statue of former head coach Pat riley outside of crypto.com arena prior to a game next February against, of course, the Boston Celtics. Back to you guys. Thank you, Isaac. And by the way, for people watching on the YouTube stream, Isaac, I had no clue your first radio station was kkty. Sweet T shirt. I acknowledge. I did sports talk with with Slater. We were the Kavino and Rich of Bayside High School. KKTY Tiger radio. Isaac's got the throwback saved by the bell shirt. I noticed that. I like it. All right, listen, we got more Kavino and Rich and Denzel Washington calling us out, calling out sports media. We'll play the clip. We'll explain next. Right here. It's Fox Sports Radio Thursday. Let's go. A foot washed up, a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA using new scientific tools. They're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen, I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at othram, the Houston lab that takes on the most Hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable.

The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of.

All right, DJ Sammy Sam on the ones and twos. Danny G. Super producing spots on the videos again at YouTube. Or should I say YouTube.com owner FSR and now it's time for a new job. No, it's time for Express employment pros to quit the endless online job search. Yeah, enlist the pros. And Express never charges job seekers a fee. Thanks again to ExpressPros.com it's actually time for the Express Pros Pro of the Week. And Rich unprecedented. Oh, this is a first. Because it's not just an Express Pro Pro of the Week. It's the Express Pros Pros of the Week. The winner is the Milioake Brewers. The entire team, they're your Pros of the week. Because again, 76 and 4:44, a team with a small payroll that's just in fuego right now, slaying it in 12 in a row. You gotta tip your hat. Mine's a Yankee hat. A very frustrating Yankee hat. Wishing that our teams were doing what they're doing. And they caught magic. They caught fire. And we're just sitting Here, like, wow, man. That's what chemistry looks like. They're your express pros. Pros of the week. And they deserve it. All right, now, before we get out of here, there was a clip that I think it would be fun conversation. Denzel Washington speaking his truth about sports media. Take a listen to the best actor ever. I've been a Cowboy fan since the 60s. He's making it hard for me. Wow. Not to be a fan, because I'm still a Cowboy fan. I'm still gonna have to star on the side of the hat. But he ain't thinking about us. He's thinking about his pocket. Okay? I mean. And Jerry Jones on the phone. Get him on the phone. What does he say? You tell me. What does he say? He says that he's getting rich. My Cowboys, we're the most successful brand in sports, you know? You mean in terms of what? Championship? No, of course he can't say championship. What you talking about? He's talking about recognition, notoriety, dollars and cents, and sports. But in the end. More than the end. You haven't been in an NFC championship game or Super bowl in 30 years. Thirty years, okay? And for some reason, he's just stubborn, man. He just. And then you got his son sitting there talking about Michael Parsons, like, hey, all right, well, hold on. This is not the exact Denzel clip that. No, this is not the clip I heard. Because the clip that we're talking about, and I'm not sure we maybe labeled it wrong. That's the wrong Denzel clip. He went off. Why don't you pull Shep Smith for a second? I'm sorry about that. Not sure what happened there. Won't happen again. One of my favorite moments ever, when Shepard Smith made a retraction. It was the weirdest thing ever. Look it up on YouTube. Won't happen again. But it might. However, he went off on talking head. Oh, we have it now. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody. I'm sorry about that guy. Somebody labeled it incorrectly. We got the right one. It's okay. But he went off on what he called Opinionaires. Take a listen. There's box office and there's Oscars. Jerry. Been a while, huh? You ain't been to the show. You wouldn't know. Haven't been to the show, so you wouldn't know what it is to win. All money ain't good money, Jerry. Is that wrong, too? He had a lot to say. We'll just say that. So just sum up what he was trying to get to. Okay, so what he says is those who can't talk about it. Why don't you? You implying the media? I thought he was talking about guys like Stephen A. Smith, primarily. Like, why don't you become great at something because all you're doing is talking about it. And he goes on to say that everybody has an opinion nowadays, and I'm sick of it and I'm fed up with it. And even as a broadcaster, Rich, I feel what he's saying, like he's talking about people like you and I. But what makes you and I different, I think, is that we don't claim to be the experts. Yeah, we have Opin, but we're not saying they're gospel. But we make fun. We make fun of the people that think they know everything. Because it's wildly funny to me that come every NFL season, every, every Friday before we get into a weekend of college football and NFL football, you and I, much like everyone else, we'll talk about, oh, what games are hot, what picks we think are fun. But we. We always claim that. Yeah, we're really just guessing. Some don't act like they're guessing. Some act like they know. And if they knew, then they'd be billionaires, because the best gamblers in Vegas and the best odds makers are hitting it, what, slightly over 50%. But it's getting to the point now where people are fed up with that. And he even says everyone's got an opinion sitting around getting fat. He calls people out. I think people should check their opinions. I think we have it now, and if we don't, then you fooled me three times. So let's play it. Third time's a charm. All right, here we go. Everybody's got an opinion. Okay? We live in a world of opinionaire. That's what I call them. Opinionaires. They're all the shows, a bunch of guys and a couple of them that have played, but most of them who haven't, who have an opinion about what something should be when they haven't done it. Those who can't, talk about those who can't. Those who have know what they talking about. Those who haven't, don't. Now, I've said this for years. Opinions are like podcasts and stink holes. Everybody have has one, and most of them stink. Everybody has one, and most of them stink. It's like your opinion is no better, really, than anyone else's. And. And that's the problem, I think, with sports media today. I think people act like they know when they don't. And it's starting to turn people off people like Denzel Washington. So I'm not taking it personal. I feel like what you and I do is very different. But I think people are getting tired of the screaming talking heads acting like they know everything. Well, you know, it is. I think people are sick of, I like to think not guys like us who keep it more light and fun. I think it's the sports analysts and podcasters and shows that speak in absolutes and then say things like I told you, I told you. And then they go bragging about the one prediction they got right. We have people like that on the network. It happens. It's, you know, right. I mean, so hey, I agree with Denzel and we could wrap it with that. And we'll see you back tomorrow morning in for Dan Patrick. Until then, or even there. G baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Goodbye, guys. Iheart presents the Big three playoffs.

Podcast Title: The Dan Patrick Show
Episode: C&R - Neighbor from Hell
Release Date: August 15, 2025
Host/Author: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
Description: Listen to Dan's daily radio show. With exclusive insider access, Patrick brings A-list guests from the world of sports and entertainment to the show. Sharing his perspective on pop culture and sports, Patrick also brings a dose of humor to his fans.
In this engaging episode of The Dan Patrick Show, hosts Kavino and Rich delve into the universally relatable yet often exasperating topic of difficult neighbors. Titled "Neighbor from Hell," the episode features a series of personal anecdotes from listeners and hosts alike, illustrating the myriad ways neighbors can disrupt peace and harmony in everyday life.
The episode kicks off with Kavino highlighting a disturbing story that has gone viral: Gary B. Boyadzian from Van Nuys, California, has gained national attention for his disruptive behavior aimed at bringing awareness to his alleged harassment by his ex-girlfriend's father.
Kavino (05:45):
"Gary is making noise every night to signal law enforcement that he needs help against his ex-girlfriend's father. But instead of just addressing his issue, he's terrorizing the entire neighborhood."
One of the first stories shared is about a neighborhood dubbed "the Devil's Rejects," characterized by sketchy behavior and invasive actions.
Rich (15:30):
"They would be out there bench pressing on their front lawn, having a gym in their driveway, and randomly shooting at passing cars. It was surreal living in a nice LA suburb with such characters next door."
Another listener, Spot, recounts his frustrations with a neighbor who habitually spits over balconies, creating an uncomfortable living environment.
Spot (22:10):
"I was enjoying the weather on my balcony when suddenly, this guy spits directly down on me. I yelled, but he just went back inside without a word."
Kavino shares a story about a neighbor who incessantly clutters his garbage cans, leaving no space for his own trash.
Kavino (28:50):
"His garbage was always overflowing into my cans. Even when I needed to store my own trash, there was simply no room because his was always full."
A segment is dedicated to roommate stories, including one about a college roommate who, in a drunken stupor, mistook the roommate's bed for a bathroom.
Caller John (35:20):
"He thought my bed was the bathroom and used it as a urinal in the middle of the night. Not only did he ruin my blanket, but he also disturbed my girlfriend."
Andy from Mississippi discusses his own past indiscretions as a bad neighbor, inadvertently causing issues with his neighbor's dog.
Andy (49:15):
"I got tired of cleaning up after my dog's run, so I thought throwing the poop over the fence was a good idea. Turns out, picking the wrong fence was a mistake."
Throughout the episode, Kavino and Rich reflect on the impact of having difficult neighbors, discussing how these experiences can lower property values, increase stress, and create hostile living environments.
Rich (40:05):
"Having a bad neighbor can really bring down the vibe of the entire neighborhood. It's frustrating when you take pride in your home, but their actions make it hard to enjoy your own space."
Kavino (47:30):
"It's different if you rent or own. As a renter, you can move away. But as an owner, you're often stuck dealing with the same problematic neighbors long-term."
The hosts encourage listeners to share their own neighbor and roommate stories, emphasizing the shared nature of these experiences.
Rich (52:10):
"We all have those crazy neighbor stories. Whether it's someone stealing your water during a drought or a roommate wreaking havoc, sharing these stories helps us realize we're not alone."
Towards the end, Kavino and Rich discuss strategies for being good neighbors, suggesting that communication and courtesy can prevent many conflicts.
Kavino (1:05:00):
"If you're planning to host a loud party or do some renovation, just give your neighbors a heads-up or invite them over. It goes a long way in maintaining a positive relationship."
The episode concludes with a thought-provoking clip from Denzel Washington, where he criticizes the sports media landscape for its overabundance of opinionated pundits.
Denzel Washington Clip (1:10:45):
"Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone knows what they're talking about. It's frustrating seeing so many people claiming expertise without actually having it."
Rich (1:11:30):
"Denzel makes a great point about sports media. Unlike the opinionaires, we strive to provide informed and light-hearted commentary without pretending to be experts."
The hosts wrap up by reiterating the importance of being considerate neighbors and the value of genuine communication over assumptions and hostility.
Kavino (1:15:00):
"At the end of the day, being a good neighbor is about respect and understanding. Let's aim to be the kind of neighbors who uplift rather than disrupt."
Rich (1:15:45):
"Absolutely. And remember, if you have a 'neighbor from hell' story, give us a call at 877-99-FOX. We'd love to hear your experiences."
Kavino (05:45):
"Gary is making noise every night to signal law enforcement that he needs help against his ex-girlfriend's father. But instead of just addressing his issue, he's terrorizing the entire neighborhood."
Rich (15:30):
"They would be out there bench pressing on their front lawn, having a gym in their driveway, and randomly shooting at passing cars. It was surreal living in a nice LA suburb with such characters next door."
Spot (22:10):
"I was enjoying the weather on my balcony when suddenly, this guy spits directly down on me. I yelled, but he just went back inside without a word."
Rich (40:05):
"Having a bad neighbor can really bring down the vibe of the entire neighborhood. It's frustrating when you take pride in your home, but their actions make it hard to enjoy your own space."
Denzel Washington Clip (1:10:45):
"Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone knows what they're talking about. It's frustrating seeing so many people claiming expertise without actually having it."
Kavino (1:15:00):
"At the end of the day, being a good neighbor is about respect and understanding. Let's aim to be the kind of neighbors who uplift rather than disrupt."
