We saw him on media row in New Orleans during super week and you guys shouted him out, hey, the next president. And he laughed. Yeah, he waved to you with his long Arsenio hall fingers.

Covid probably comes up first, but we don't want to talk about that. Covino and Rich follow our podcast. We appreciate it. And this is day one of three, the Dan Patrick hat trick. And we're filling in for Colin on the herd on Friday. But we're on 2 to 4 on the west normally Monday through Friday, busy week. We'll be in Philly on Thursday. That should be fun. I'm excited about that. He's got to still be buzzing. I got to, I got to ask because you know the NBA all star weekend, overshadowed by, as you said, Cobra Kai, SNL50. You know, hockey, US Canada, three fights in the first like 10 seconds. There were so many things that sort of overshadowed NBA All Star weekend. One thing I didn't hear mention. Which means you haven't started yet. I saw Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf won a pickleball to tournament. See all these things overshadowing SNL's 50. All the highlights you're seeing. But there's a new white Lotus season and I know we love the first two seasons. I gotta ask. They're saying Arnold's kid Patrick Schwarzenegger is in it and he goes full frontal. For the right price, would you. For the full. For the right price, would you let it all literally hang out on. On streaming services? Are you asking me? I'm asking you. The collective you. You know me for 20 something years. You think I would actually do that. For the right price. Danny J. For the right price. For the right price. My family. No, thanks. Oh, you said you're embarrassed. It's not about being embarrassed. It's like, you know, hey, I don't. I don't. Just don't feel like doing that. It's like, you'd rather the search come up as Covid. Yeah, I think it's the. I would just blame it on AI Anyway, that wasn't me. What was that? AI? That was special effects. I just always think that's a very, very interesting choice because there's very. There's so many unnecessary times that you see, like, man junk on shows, and you got to think, the dude agreed to it, like. And you could say the same about women. But prosthetic, because that's usually the first Google search. Is it prosthetic? Yeah. I'm asking you. I didn't have it on pause all night like you. So if you watched, just know that that's a choice people make. Thanks for the junk warning, though. I don't think the world needs more of it. I don't think it's needed in the storylines. I don't either. Just the way that reporter didn't need it from Brett Favre and girls on the Internet didn't need it from Rich back when he was dating. Yeah, seriously. You know, fun fact. Never sent one ever. Never. Not even to your wife, for obvious reasons. Not even to my wife. I just always thought it was, like, a weird move. I was like, you know what, am I gonna put a top hat on it? Like it's President's Day? Yeah, yeah. Dress him up. Well, look at the time. Whoa, whoa. I did want to speak about President's Day for a second, Covino. Sure. Because I mentioned earlier I would not be president. President Taft is the high school out here. Taft High School. You do not want to make a president out of me. President Taft not only got stuck in a bathtub, which is, like, the worst rumor you can have about yourself if you were one of the 45 leaders of the free world. Oh, yeah. The fact how they get stuck in a bathtub. Yeah. Taft also the first president to throw out a first pitch at a baseball game to tie it back into Fox Sports Radio in 1910. Washington Senators, President Taft threw out a first pitch. And it sort of ties into my weekend as well, because I'm starting to coach baseball for my son now. Right. And when you see the other dads that are helping out, it's a really simple question. Is throwing a baseball because we've all seen presidents do it. Always impressed with George W. Bush after 9 11. I saw the Queen of England do it. She had like a mean, like screwball or something. One of my favorite scenes in Naked Gun. Oh, you mean the real queen. George W. Bush with the bulletproof vest on, throwing a strike after 9 11. Donald Trump's got a good arm. Obama's a lefty. Impressive. Jimmy Carter. The list goes on and on of presidents that I look at the way they throw. And I'm not, I'm not trying to sound chauvinistic. I picture Honest Abe. I picture Abe Lincoln up there like the big unit, like Randead Johnson, tall and lanky, probably had a heater. You picture a blanket with a big unit? No, I picture heater like Randy Johnson. So I got to ask. It's throwing a baseball the number one easiest way to size up another grown man and decide. I know how you were raised. If I see a guy, I mean, you can bring it back to that full frontal question you had earlier if you want. That's an easy way to size people up. That's true. Your wallet is another one. But I'm saying I feel like when I see other grown men. Danny G. At the super bowl, we had a football on set. Every so often someone would come by, you'd be like, hey, what's up? It was like, you know, when you have a football or any ball for that matter, laying around, some idiot guy's going to grab it and start having a catch, right? But when you see another grown man throw a ball or is in your mind, is it taking a jump shot? It's throwing a baseball. A ball. Not a football, just a ball. A football could also apply. But not everyone is king spiral like me. Not everyone, you know, could throw a football with great accuracy. Like this guy Cove, our afternoon slash evening video producer. Spotty boy. Yeah, he had the ball at one point, I tossed it to him and he pushed the ball like a discus. Yeah, he pushes. No, but that's the way you would throw with your opposite hand, right? Like I'm a righty. So picture me throwing lefty like, you know what our. Our video guy spot. And he's. He's very talented at other things. No, it's a great indicator of your childhood, but it's not. It's not an indicator of like the type of man you are or are you a good. No, that is an indicator of the indicator on how you grew up for sure. And did you play sports or not? It is an indicator of the type of man you are, be a great man and not be able to throw a baseball. I'm not saying that type of man's a good thing. I'm just saying you could indicate. It could indicate what type of man you are. Not necessarily, because I see a lot of professional athletes that can't throw a baseball, and I'm baffled by it. But I'm saying if you see, like, our buddy Spot. Yeah. If he were to throw you a ball by. By him just tossing you a handball, a football, baseball, anything, your first instinct would be like, oh, you didn't play sports as a kid is throw. If you toss someone a bait. But how many. If there was a baseball stars or professional athletes get on the mat, get on the mound and embarrass themselves. I saw Kevin Durant throw out a pitch. That's what I mean. At a Giants game. So, like, it's not. It's not 100% foolproof and accurate because guess what? Last I checked, Durant has more NBA points than you ever scored. No, I. Right. So it's not a. It's not a hundred percent, but it is a great assessment. Like, you can tell a lot about that person. I'm not saying it makes you a better man, but what I'm saying is if you're across the room from someone and there is a. If. Let's say you're across the room or in the yard, at a barbecue or cookout, if there's a ball next to another grown man and you go, hey, dude, throw that over here. Him picking it up and throwing it to you. I think within five seconds, I could tell you about your childhood. It's not even about how they throw sometimes. It's about how they catch it, too. If they snap at it, they stab at it. Stab at it like Tom Cruise does. And he, you know, he's pretty good. Like, these things bother me in movies, too, because you could see like. Like what actors are. Never played a sport in their life. As much as I love him, Mark Paul Gosler, Zack Morris, saved by the bell. He was in that Fox TV show Pitch, and we talked to him about it. He. He was trained at everything. He was. I'm just not an. He's not a baseball guy. You could tell a famous story would be Charlie Sheen. He was throwing high 80s in major league, and you could see he had some decent mechanics for. But is it a great indicator? Yes, because. And do you make an assessment that's not necessarily accurate? Yes, because I often think back to President George Bush on President's Day on 9 11, when Jeter famously said, you know, don't bounce it. And you threw it from the mound. He threw it from the mound, didn't bounce it. Perfect strike on a really high pressure situation when the world was watching. And you know what? And you know, there was a part of me remember he had a really sketchy reputation back then. Right. As a buffoon of sorts. Yeah. And you gained like an ultimate or a different sort of respect when you saw that. No doubt. And by the way, and that's what you kind of give somebody. You give him a little nod of acknowledgement like, oh, a guy could throw. He had a pretty. Pretty normal childhood, I'd say. And the reality is, whether you love him or hate him, Donald Trump has a good arm. He does. I can tell. Playing catch on the White House lawn. When you see Trump throw a football, who's he playing with? Oh, Mo Rivera. Right. When you see Trump throw a baseball, football, or anything, you're like, all right, the guy grew up playing sports. And I think, again, it doesn't make you a better guy. No. You could tell a lot about this. I'm just saying on President's Day, when you think back to Bush or Obama or Trump or, you know, like I said, Taft was the first president to ever. I like. Is it something else, though? Is something. Does something Trump. Pun intended? Does something Trump the throwing of a ball? Is it. Could it be a shot? Someone should. Like I saw over the weekend, I saw Skip Bayless hitting three point shots, acknowledging his form because he was sinking every shot, but his form was. I didn't like his form. But is there something else, though, that is a great indicator of their skill level. This is, this is a question. Let me. Let me. Of their man. Let me, Let me package. Let me package and phrase this question on President's Day. Yes. When we think back to how oddly good most presidents are throwing at a first pitch, it just shows how. Is this Taft pitch that you mentioned the first one ever? Yeah. I don't know if it's recorded. That means a long ass time ago. There was no video of it, obviously. Over the weekend, Rich, I saw a video on TikTok and they were talking about, you know, the Kendrick Lamar performance at halftime. And whether you liked it or not, they're like, you realize how far we've come. Do you know what the first halftime performance was? It wasn't a musical act. And I'm waiting to see. I'm like, what was it? He's like, it Wasn't a musical act. I'm like, was it a magician or something? Was it a woman that balances plates at the NBA games? Was it like some sort of gymnast? Like, you know, a guy on a unicycle, marching band? What was it? It's like two bozos on jet packs, like from Kenny Powers. Like those, but they were in water. They were like, suspended in the air. Two guys, like, demonstrating an air pack, like, flying in the air. I was like, man, that's weird. So I wonder what this presidential first pitch looked like, is my point. The Taft throw a perfect strike. We'll never know. But what we do know is if you had to, if you had to tell someone about their childhood, my answer is I could tell you everything about your childhood. You know, other, other than maybe, like your relationship with your parents. But I could tell you how you were as a kid based on how you throw a ball. Back to me, I agree with this assessment. When Rich and I agree it's fact. But that's why it baffles me when I see a professional athlete and he can't throw a ball. I'm like, how one dimensional were you as an athlete? That's always. And maybe that's the reason for their greatness in their, in their sport. And this is not because you see guys in the NFL and the NBA, you see fighters, they can't throw a baseball sometimes. And you're like, wow, listen, you were really committed to your foul shots. And it doesn't mean you're. You're better or worse. Again, I wish I could play the guitar, but I don't got those skills. I never learned. But I see when I, you know, you can see a guy doing a baseball is pretty basic, though, because you would. When you attribute this to like, caveman days of throwing a rock, like, you didn't. You didn't figure out the form here. I'm just saying, my dog is seven and a half and my son is five. Just based on what they know up to this point in T ball or softball, when they get older already at this age, I think they'll mechanically not look weird. So it just means if you throw a ball to me, like, I'm like, yo, never one time did you play in your neighborhood. What do you say that maybe like, daddy wasn't there. Daddy wasn't there to take me to the fair. Want to have a catch? No, I'm busy. Yeah. What's the assessment? That they just didn't, they didn't roughhouse on the streets and play Wiffle ball. That's what you're really assessing. Like, they didn't play Little League. They didn't. They really not. You're not getting a great understanding of who they really are, but you have an understanding of where they were. Yeah, that's. Or who they were. But hey, just note that when you see these, when you see celebrities or politicians throw out a first pitch or like Camino said, if you're watching a movie, you could tell what actors played sports and you could tell what actors were so involved in the arts, they're like, yeah, this guy's in a sports movie. He's never thrown a football. He's never shot at basketball. You ever see someone that's never played basketball shoot a basketball? They use both hands and they sort of like push it like, like that, that shoot. Like, did your dad never shoot hoops with you? Did your mom never take you to the park? Like, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. For real. So your thoughts at 87799 on Fox. Just on President's Day. Just a reminder that it was Taft. If you want a little trivia, if you want to be a smarty pants at your office, Taft, the first president to throw out a first. Remember when Carlton took that long shot on the court in Fresh Prince? Exactly. They always say the worst, the worst sports. I'll never know the movie, but it was a basketball ending of a movie where a girl travels and holds the ball for like a minute and there's like eight seconds left on the clock. I know the clip is a movie. It's viral all over the place. I've seen that. All right, well, hey, let's, you know what? Let's take one phone call in this now. We'll take the rest when we come back. Let's go to fish in Paul Fish. Throw. Throwing a baseball, man. Is that the ultimate, like, ability to describe how a guy probably grew up? Problem? I'm 57. It's probably generation length now because back in my day, I mean, I would say 90% of the kids played baseball. Yeah. Now it's different. Even My daughters, who 25 and 22, at seven years old, I had to go back and try to figure out how to teach them how to throw and catch. And some could catch, but a lot or some could throw, but a lot could not catch. So I think, I think that has a lot to do with it. That's true. A lot of kids nowadays, you know, they choose soccer. So it might. What he's saying is true. It might change or might have changed over time. But I still think that that's, that's one of those. You were just saying, right. Your, your daughter has like her first boyfriend. Yeah. He's a runner. So I imagine he probably doesn't throw very well. Does that bother you? Your daughters are the boy that can't even throw bit. I don't know. I've yet to have a catch. You might have to. All right, you know, we'll take your feedback on this ridiculous thought next right here. And we're going to give away a cavit on rich stainless steel swiggy. We're going to do a little trivia. Shaq Diesel trivia. As we're into the NBA season.

Let's, let's take a few more phone calls on this first pitch. Not necessarily about the first pitch. It is today's. President's Day. Taft first president to throw out a first pitch. And I said, it's very easy to assess another. Grown men. Another grown man. Okay, but how he throws a ball. How about this? It's not an accurate assessment because plenty of pro athletes get out there and he embarrass themselves. Right, but you do make a judgment. I think that's safe to say. It might be the judgiest I get. Right, right. It might not be accurate, but you're judging, for instance, for sure. Mike, who runs this place? What's up, Mike? Party people in the house. Mike, the first time you came in the studio, when we first met you a couple years ago. Yes. And you threw me the football that was sitting in here. My instinct was, oh, Mike played sports as a kid. Right. You could assess another grown man by how he throws a ball. I'm with you guys 100%. In fact, you know, Steve likes to call himself the king spiral over there. Well, I mean, in all fairness, people call me that. So. So here's the deal. When. When I first heard that, I'm like, you guys are ridiculous. There's no way. So we throw the football around a little bit. And you know what? King spiral, bro. 100% guy's damn Marino spiral right next to me. Hey, I was a gym class, I think football, for sure. I mean, because I played in the streets as a kid growing up. Let's. Let's go to Sean and York. Pa. What's up, Sean? Kevin on Rich in for DP. I'm. I'm good. I agree with that 100%. Actually, I'd say it goes a lot sooner than that because, like, I'm a coach for my kids, and that was my biggest thing, was giving kids high fives. You can walk up to a kid, you put your hand up, give him a high five, and he smacks your hand like, you know, hard. You're like, oh, I want you on my baseball team. That's it. You know what? You are so right. There are times you. I'm starting to coach little kids. Yo, what's up, buddy? Some kids, like, what do you want a high five, little guy? What, does your dad not teach at a high five? Bring it in, pal. Let's say hi to Jerry in Tampa. Jerry, what's up, buddy? Hey, how you guys doing today? Jerry, do you agree that you can assess someone by how they throw a ball? Yeah, I believe so. Because I've had, you know, I grew up playing baseball and everything when I was little. And you could pretty much tell. Yeah. Some of the guys that were hanging out playing music and the guys that were playing the ball. So, yeah, I could tell. Jerry, Jerry, it's. The guy doesn't need to be piled on because he's had a rough enough month after the super bowl halftime show. But Drake. You ever seen that video where Drake's like, I played ball as a kid. Yes, I have. And then. And then he, like, swings a bat and throws a ball and you're like, no, Drake, you did not play balls again. You did not. You did. Team Kendrick Lamar. Now Jerome in South Carolina. What's up, man? What's up, Jerome? Hold on. Danny's on the phones, man, I hope Jerome's okay. Phones are all hot. What's up, Drum? Where'd he go? The young generation, they're just a bunch of dork. Let him go play soccer. They didn't want to play football anymore. And Shaq looked dumb in that hat, too. He looks. Why does he go out of his way to look so dumb and sound dumb? He wanted to give this Carter, what, 200 grand for. For the new. Recreate his duck. Come on, man. I don't want to see any more doubts. How about learn how to play basketball, how to shoot a basketball. Thank you, Jerome. Jim in la. What's up, Jim? Yo, yo, yo. You guys hear me okay? Yeah, you're on. What's up, man? Okay, I got it. You guys ready? Yes, sir. I grew up south la, Long Beach, Lakewood area. Little great town. They had a great Parks and rec program. And when we played sports, guess what they did, fellas? What's that? You got it. You're right on the topic. So the sports you would play, you would get on a team, and you would last all three sports through the year. So you'd start with baseball, go to flag football, and go to basketball, all on the same team. And the one metric they used, they gave you a baseball. You were at the white line and you threw it for distance. The first ranked guy threw the farthest. The coaches gathered a week later and they drafted the kids based on how far they threw the baseball. It's basic. And we'll wrap it with Alex in North Dakota. Then we'll play a little Shaq Diesel trivia, give away some prizes. Alex, wrap this up, man. Well, Alex. Alex, you there? Anyway. Oh, there he is. Hey, what's up, buddy? I was worried about him. What's up, bud? I totally agree with the, you know, judging a man by how he can throw. But also, if you go Back to, like, Little League. When you're playing, you also judge the team by how they were warming up, how they were throwing, were they throwing all over the place? And. Yeah, they're horrible. You know, it's so funny. Kavino and I. Kavino and I didn't grow up together, Alex. But we have the same memory that I think every kid had, which was when you went to an opposing high school. The minute you got off the bus, when you watch the other team warm up, if their uniforms look cool, if their field is manicured, if the pitcher was popping the glove on the side, you were like, oh, no. Intimidation factor. Yeah, no doubt. When he do their infield drill, you know, could the shortstop play? What sort of arms did they have? You make those assessments. You make those judgments. It's just how it is. Whether it's right or wrong. Rich is right. All right, well, hey, props to Taft. He had. He. He clocked at. At 97. Back then they said that. Yeah, yeah. 97 mile per hour heater.

You're wearing sweatpants and Crocs. I'm not wearing Crocs, by the way. What are you wearing? I wear. I'm wearing Jordans. Oh, he's wearing Jordans. Wearing Jordan sweatpants. It's more. Do you think I'm gonna put on legitimate pants at 6am? Yeah, I'm comfy, dude. It's comfy. Cozy. Who am I trying to impress? It is cold. Who am I supposed to try to impress? Big Mike or Danny J or Mark? Come on. All right, so give me the. What would you do? This is my. What would you do? I feel like, I feel like I'm clearly and definitely not alone in. It's that time of year where kids sports for the, for the spring are starting up. Right. My daughter's got her softball. My son starts T ball. And I get wrangled into being a coach. And I can. I jokingly complain about it, but I'll be honest, I do love it. I do. I do love teaching these little kids the sport of baseball and softball. It brings me joy. I know a lot of people. Be a man. Absolutely. I feel like a lot of people could feel that way about any. Whatever their sport is, soccer, basketball, flag football, tackle football. When you could pass your love of a sport onto the kids. It really is a good feeling. So while I jokingly complain about it, I love it. I don't love the fact that, you know, my new car, my car my wife and I got, has now become just storage for teas and catcher's equipment and bags and, you know, I mean, isn't that why you got that giant truck or suv, whatever the hell is that? The big giant. It's the, you know, we got that third row. Yeah. Just so we could throw down the chairs and just have tees and equipment and bats and barrels and bait. It is what it is. It happens when you have two little nose pickers. Yeah. You become sports parents. And I love it. Again, who doesn't love sports? We're here on Fox Sports Radio. I am the coach from my daughter's softball team and my son's T ball team so far. Like I said, I love the joy of passing down whatever little knowledge I have. I feel like I know baseball pretty well and I feel like I'm like fun time coach. I bring out the Bluetooth speaker. I bring them little treats. I try to be like until we get competitive, which my daughter is now becoming. Competitive gets its 8U. You want them to feel good about the sport and you want them to have fun. You want to have them associate the sport with fun, not with negative feelings. I put the message out there that listen first and first, mostly listen, parents, I want your kids to have fun. This is sports. Sports are fun. Some of my best memories playing sports as a kid and they're seven and four, so it's not like you're that competitive. So I was like. And secondly, though, I do want to teach your kids some discipline and I want them. You put the fun in fundamentals and I want them to learn the game, but also learn how to win the right way and lose the right way. You know, trying to teach them all the right things. Here's my John Quinones. What would you do, what do you do when your kid is the pain in the ass on your team and you're the coach? Because you know when you want to, like, like, you're instantly, get over here. I'm going to. You know what's embarrassing about that? The other kids will never forget that. Like, I could still picture my coach's son crying because, you know, he got hit by a pitch or he was the brat. Like, I remember him saying, like you said you were gonna get me Nintendo game if I got a hit. You know, like crying and like kicking his feet at home plate. Like, and this is, you know, years ago. And I still remember those. I remember the kids at crowd when they got hit by a pitch. I remember the kid that was a little biatch. I remember all this stuff. That's what I'm saying. But listen, that's when you were a little older. My son, he turned five this past weekend. He's four. Don't forget those. He literally just turned five two days ago. That said one of the first things I did at the first baseball practice. All right, kids, we got 10 little boys here. All right, we're gonna make two groups of five, we're gonna stretch out and then we're gonna do a relay race. My son was the one kid that's like, I don't want to. And I'm like, all right, kids, get over here. I don't want to. Hey, Ben, listen, I'm not only your dad, but when we're here, I'm the coach, so you gotta listen. Nope. How do you react when your kid is the non listener and you're the coach? Is it because you're his dad? I can't stop down the practice and be like, so what do you think he would do? You gotta make him run laps. Yeah. Like, would he do that for another coach or it's just because you're his dad? I don't know. And I'm like, didn't. Being a coach, am I distinct now that my, my kid's not gonna get the discipline because he thinks he could get away with it? Yeah. Like maybe your assistant coach is the guy that tells him, hey, Ben, you know. Cause he's not listening to you because you're his father and he doesn't listen to you at home, so why would he listen to you now? And by the way, just, just for the record, coaching the girls and boys, by the way, does he wear pants to practice? Because every time I See, Rich's son, kid's not wearing pants. I just rub. He's in his little Underoos all the time. I do want to point this out with the little boys. You know, we, we act like everyone's the same. Little boys and girls act different. I coach. You know, the girls are starting to become more competitive now. But these five year old little boys are maniacs. They are hard to wrangle. And all the parents gave me a me, every parent, like pull me aside, like, hey, it's okay if you yell at my kid and discipline him. He's a little maniac boy. So how do you discipline your own kid when you're coaching? We don't need to harp on it. But if you want to hit me up at Rich Davis, I'm all ears. Because I wanted to. I, my suggestion is you have an assistant coach, right? Yeah. He has the guy to enforce, like, hey. Because I imagine has a level of respect for his teachers and other parents and adults that he doesn't for whatever reason for you. And I get that. That's just how kids are sometimes. So maybe it's the assistant shop to tell your kid, hey, hey, Benny boy, do a lap or whatever. Yeah. And obviously the other kids are giving that respect to you, so you're covered. Though what I wanted to do so badly, but I didn't give him a wedgie. Slap him upside the head. Yeah, give him a little. By the way, Teddy, I did want to do that. Yeah, but I didn't. I know you did. Besides to give a little slap in that and the helmet. Know what else I wanted to do? I went to Starbucks afterwards and I want to be like, Ben, you want that cake pop? And I was, I wanted to buy one and eat it in front of him, but I did it. Honestly, I think that's a great idea, you know. Yeah. He doesn't get a Gatorade or a Slurpee on the way home. Whatever you're doing. Your thoughts? Because I know a lot of dads and moms in that coaching world. We'll take your feedback and of course we'll talk a little NBA, NFL.

And by the way, as you play some Third Eye Blinds, Never Let yout Go, I like the song. And I asked Cavino just the other day. Oddly enough, we're talking about athletes and bands and just notable people where you're not quite sure where others view them. Like, I'm a big Third Eye Blind fan and I'm like, Kavino, where do you rank? I got the perfect rank. Third Eye Blind. You gotta take the best and worst of that era in that genre, right? So they're not qu. Like, if I'm gonna tell my daughter, she's 15. Yeah, third eye Blind had a pretty good Career. I saw him live at Rutgers with Smash Mouth when I was in college. How big were they, dad? Well, well, they weren't Matchbox 20, but they weren't Tonic either. They're right there in the middle, like under Matchbox 20. But that's how you would assess it. It's a good one. You like that? How you like me now? Again, I'm Cavino. That is Rich Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We're going to be here for day two of the Dan Patrick hat trick tomorrow. So join us. You know what? It's like, there are bands that you could compare to borderline hall of Famers. Like, you know, there's some, there's some bands much like a first ballot hall of Famer. And then there's people like, no way they're a Hall of Famer. But then I say, like, like Carlos Beltran. Carlos Beltran. Like Carlos Beltran. It's like Third Eye Blind. Great. But is he like, right. Had a real stellar career. He's not Quite Ken Griffey Jr. But he's not, give me like a mediocre outfielder. He's not, he wasn't Brett Gardner or anything. So it's, it's sometimes that you got to, got to think, where does this person sit? And Brett Gardner was really good, but he was a great player. Carlos Beltrad. You know what, let's go to Greg in Florida. We'll take one call on this. He has some advice on. I was saying, a lot of parents now are entering the coaching world because spring sports are starting. A lot of soccer, a lot of baseball, a lot of softball. And I said, of all the kids, my kid was the one that didn't listen at the first practice. Embarrassing. Well, it would be embarrassing if he wasn't 4, just turned 5 and it's t ball. But I was like, yo, buddy, you gotta listen to dad because I'm the coach here. And I don't know. Yeah, that's kind of embarrassing, Greg, when all the other parents are there watching, it's got to feel a little bit of a way. You also don't want to raise your voice because then you look like the parent. The other parents like, ooh, he's yelling. Yeah, he goes off the handle. And, man, this guy's crazy. Greg in Florida. What's up, man? Yeah, I got you, brother. Listen, I've been listening for a while and real quickly, I think Elvis and Michael Jackson were bigger than Michael Jordan. Number two. With your kid. With your kid. Here's what I would Do I would get something that he loves? I don't know, whatever it is, that's. Whatever Gummy bear, whatever the heck he loves the most. All right, have that for the prize for the winner. Have him sit out and make him watch and how fun it is. And they get its favorite surprise. His favorite treat they get. And he's out of it. So if he starts acting up again, make them watch it, make him have a good time. And they'll probably want to come back in. Bro, I, I want to pull all these parenting tactics and sometimes my wife is too soft about it. Like, I'll be like, you know what? I. Let's. Let's get a sister something and not him. She's like, that's spiteful and mean. But I'm like, no, he'll learn a lesson. Yeah, I agree with both, both the caller and you, like on the way home, he doesn't get a cake pop. And you explain why. Why? Because he didn't run. He didn't listen to you at practice. And you're the coach. Yeah, you know, it's as simple as that. I told, I said, I, this is, this is as strict as I went. I said, if you do that again, no cake pop. And for the rest of the day, I'm gonna take away your, your Pokemon toys or something. Yeah, I mean, you gotta, you gotta lay down the law somehow. Somehow. So coaching is a whole world in its own and it's gonna provide for lots more stories in the world of Covino and Rich. We'll be telling more.
