Well saying hi to Chipotle trying to get some free discounts.
Rich Davis
We are also less than three weeks until the kickoff of the NFL season. So maybe a little later we discuss, like, what's that random storyline you're looking forward to that no one's really talking about? Like, what. What is your vested interest? Like, everyone's of course, going to be watching Aaron Rodgers on the Steelers. Everyone's curious about, you know, is Cam Ward really the most untalked about rookie in the last 25 years? So what is that storyline where you're like, no, no, we got to think more about this.
Noah
I'm asking on the fly, could it be about anything? Like things that are pretty good that not enough people talk about?
Rich Davis
I think that's a fantastic question.
Noah
Broadening up a little bit.
Rich Davis
We'll get to that. Well, talk about something called honey potting.
Noah
Do you know this sounds tasty. I don't know. So again, stick around and find out. F around and find out. We got Iowa Sam on the ones and twos.
Rich Davis
You know, that's a new parenting style. You, you brought this to my attention the other day. Everyone. Fafo. It's the return of parents parenting tougher. F around and find out.
Noah
Yeah, it doesn't mean I'm going to slap you upside your head like my dad used to say. Hey, it's not that. It means let them fail on their own. So if like a kid's like, I'm not wearing a jacket, you say, all right, you don't want to bring a jacket, then, then, hey, f around and find out. Then don't bring a jacket. Don't be complaining to me. Like, that's a great way of teaching them lessons.
Rich Davis
I'll. I'll give you a great f around to find out. A great fafo, as they call it.
Noah
Fafo. In fact, I've changed my name since reading this article and hearing about the trend. Steve Fafo Covino.
Rich Davis
I thought it was El Fafo.
Noah
El Fafo is what they call me now because especially when you co parent, it's very difficult. Rich, you know what I did just to prove that I walked the talk. School started this week and I told my daughter all week, look, if you want to go to the mall, get those new pair of shoes, buy a few fits, the back to school drip. You want to go shopping? You want to buy some Trapper Keepers, a pencil box and a lunchbox, Whatever kids use today.
Rich Davis
Trapper Keeper.
Noah
I might be ready by one o' clock and yeah, we'll go. Not a problem. Dad wants to do Nice things for you, dude. I show up three hours later. And not only that, the teenage attitude she gave me that day, she basically told me to beat it. Was giving me all this lip and side eye. You have no idea. Like, well, some of you might. She's a teenage girl. I was like, you know what, fafo? I was like, she's not ready. She's talking to me like I'm a nobody from nowhere ville. I said, you know what? Not happening. I drove her right to her mom's house. That was it. She's like, dad, I thought we were going to the mall. I'm like, you thought wrong, fafo. Fo me, me, me drove away. And I was like, there's a new fafo in town. El fafo eff around and find out. Dude, you disrespect me and my time and everything else. I'm not on your watch. I got things to do. I gave you a time to be ready. You disrespected it. Had me waiting around like an idiot. You talk back to me like I was a chump. What am I, a chump? I'm your dad, fafo. Man.
Rich Davis
This happens in sports.
Noah
And it hurt. It hurt my feelings. I felt bad cuz I wanted to take her. She went to school with holes in her shoes. I. Wow. Not really, but you know what I mean.
Rich Davis
You don't need to tie everything to sports. But I feel that way. When? Yesterday, the Mets, Kodai Senga was cruising 90 pitches, and they took him out. And when they took him out, the minute they were going to the bullpen, in my mind, I was like, bullpen stinks right now, fafo. We're gonna f around Mets, Give up the lead, lose the game.
Noah
Yeah. It doesn't mean you. You pull out the switch. Doesn't mean you beat your kid. Doesn't mean you slap him upside the head. It doesn't mean you give him a knuckle sandwich or whatever threat you got. It means if they think they got all the answers and they're not gonna eat because they're not hungry. All right, well, don't eat, but don't ask me for anything later. F run and find out.
Rich Davis
I'll give you one last one to wrap it up. Then we'll talk some NFL and some nonsense. My son, he's 5 years old. Every time he puts on his stupid little crocs.
Noah
Mmm.
Rich Davis
Like, buddy, if you're gonna run around the block and downhill. Oh, yeah, put on your sneakers.
Noah
Don't run in those. Don't.
Rich Davis
Hey, buddy boy. Benny, don't run in those. How come? I'm fine, dad. I see my kid running down our hill. We live sort of on a little hill.
Noah
That's a Benny Hill.
Rich Davis
He's got, his name is Ben, he's got his little Crocs on. And I'm like, this little effort is going to fall. And wouldn't you know, it falls skins his knee. But I hate to see it. But.
Noah
But you know what, Fafo, As Alice in Chains said, a lesson learned, bro. Lesson learned.
Rich Davis
Fafo, are you okay, buddy? What did that tell you? What did that tell you?
Noah
It's like the Yankees. You already made this reference though, Rich, but keep putting in Devin Williams. Just keep putting them in.
Devin
Yeah, it's like my 2 year old Ko, he didn't want to be locked in his car seat, so we roped him up on top of the suitcase.
Rich Davis
Yeah, exactly. That's exactly it, Danny G. But no, it's true. It applies to everything. And I, and I think parenting is the number one time where it's like, you know what, go ahead, do it. Or relationships, right? How many times has a woman been like, that's what you want to do, okay. When she's like, when she says, okay, fine, you're like, oh, oh.
Noah
It's just letting them fail. That being said, because of their stubbornness or because they think they're right. But you know, otherwise as an adult. That being said, we wish all the kiddos a great school year. Back to school this week on the west side, but we got to talk LeBron James. I know some people hate talking LeBron James. Some people love to just hate on LeBron James.
Rich Davis
Well, I think LeBron James isn't really. We're not so much talking about LeBron. He's sort of what we call the jump off to this conversation because on social media, Danny G. Hit us up with a video. And my goodness, the comments prove how moronic people are.
Noah
Spot, I want Spot, our video guy, to be on standby for this one because I think he's gonna have a thing or two to say to you, especially Rich, about it. Spot, for the record, is a guy that turned his life around. He's now a gym rat. He had never gotten to the gym ever in our 20 years of knowing him. And then all of a sudden he had a health scare and now he's Mr. Fitness, Mr. Olympia slim, good body, ripped like Jesus. So be on standby. Spots also on the videos as we speak. LeBron James is a gym rat. 16, they say 16 hour sessions, right? Who, me?
Devin
Yeah, he does long days in the headline, which was trending this morning, says, LeBron's workout form ignite online debate.
Noah
Online debate. Recent online discussion erupted after users critiqued LeBron James workout while lifting. He's doing like deadlifts. But again, he looks like a specimen. We know his resume, we know his resume, we know how physically fit he is. He comes conditioned every year. People are questioning if this is the way to go, if it's suitable for his athletic build. LeBron, who's set to enter his 23rd season in the NBA, has been defended by many who point out his long standing career.
Rich Davis
Dude, can you Repeat that? His 23 year career?
Noah
23 season, yeah.
Rich Davis
And some fat jabroni on Twitter is criticizing how he works out. You mean a guy that stayed relatively healthy for two plus decades in the NBA, a multiple time mvp, A guy that's won NBA titles with multiple teams, arguably the goat other than Jordan in most people's minds, you are gonna criticize his workout.
Noah
So I'm not saying you this the collective you. Come on you Darvish. So what we're getting at is you got one side saying, well, clearly whatever he's doing is working. The proof is in the longevity and his physical abilities, the absolute peak of of athleticism. And then you have a bunch of gym rats or know it alls. And again, as Denzel Washington says, we'll talk about that later. Everybody has an opinion. They're critiquing his technique, saying he's not doing it right and he's a droney and he's an idiot and look how he lifts and he's going to hurt himself. And how do you get results something like that? It's like, I don't know, he's done.
Rich Davis
It for 23 years to me.
Noah
So whether you like him or not, how could you make fun of a guy who has these results regardless of the form?
Rich Davis
There are so many examples of where know it alls put their two cents in. And you're like, you're gonna, you're gonna criticize. I've seen funny videos where like random dudes start giving golf swing advice to female professional golfers. He's like, hey sweetheart, your backswing. It's like, she's a pro, you dope. So I have another example.
Noah
All right, But I want people to put their thinking hats on their thinking caps based on this LeBron criticism, which again, is so easy to want to criticize him because he's such a polarizing guy. I get that. But can you really critique Somebody if they look better than you or if it just works for them when it comes to their workout. Because I know Rich, you often get criticized by guys like Spot. I joke about it. I say, you do a bunny boy workout. Rich does the Pee Wee Herman workout, where he just. You know, he wakes up in the morning, and he picks up two, like, two pound weights, and he's like, no, I.
Rich Davis
Okay, Listen.
Noah
Good morning, Mr. Crabtree.
Rich Davis
I look at it this way. When I see people my age, I see so many people in their 40s tearing a peck. Oh, I pulled my shoulder, my knee. You know, you hit middle age, and so many people, you know, get these unnecessary gym injuries, which is why, you know, what I do now? I've given up heavy free weights. I'm on machines. I'm lifting lighter weights. I mean, guess what?
Noah
In fairness, though, you've been on this routine for a long time, and I'm with you. I'm not here trying to hurt myself. I'm not. I'm trying to maintain and just look the best that I can. I'm not trying to be. Again, Mr. Universe. I'm not trying to be a powerlifter. I'm not trying to be Derek Poundstone, and I'm not trying to be a strongman.
Rich Davis
And guys like our video producer, Spot, he's like, oh, you don't really work out the right way. Meanwhile, this guy's had shoulder surgeries, knee surgeries, you know, you name it. The guy's always limping around.
Noah
Now you're just making things up to suit your point.
Rich Davis
I never had a knee surgery the other day. Were you not limping around with both legs and you were, like, visibly in the studio? Like, oh, yeah, I tweaked my knee.
Noah
I never had surgery on it.
Rich Davis
I'm sorry. Your shoulder, though. Spot wrestles people, but that had nothing.
Noah
To do with working out. That was hurting before I started working out. So can you really critique somebody about. Thanks for making your point about their workout or anything in life if they're doing better. Like, if some guy.
Rich Davis
I have a friend that's broke that tries to give financial. Tries to give financial advice.
Noah
I was just gonna say that. But, like, I know people get real butthurt when you talk about their finances for being broke.
Rich Davis
There's a. There's a guy I know that constantly talks about all the money moves he's making. I'm like, why do you drive? Why do you drive a 1998 Civic?
Noah
No, it's true, man. You know, Or I was recently criticized. I went to, you know, several places for vacation. Like, why would you go there? Like, why would I go there? Yeah. I got criticized because I chose Costa Rica recently. I'm like, costa Rica? Some family members, like, why would you go there? Like, you go nowhere. How could you?
Rich Davis
I mean, have you.
Noah
Have you ever been there?
Rich Davis
You go to the Poconos?
Noah
No. But you've never been there, so how could you criticize the place I just went to? And I'm telling you, it's great. You know?
Rich Davis
So the example I was gonna give was, I call this the Tom Brady what's happening to LeBron? Right now, I'm calling the TB because there's a clip. We'll never find it, Sam. You could search the Internet forever. We'd never find it.
Noah
Well, it's like that photo in your phone. You see it all the time, but when you're looking for it, you can't find it.
Rich Davis
Oh, 100% that clip is out there.
Noah
But now that you look for it.
Rich Davis
You can't find it. And that's a crazy phenomenon, too, by the way. A picture on your phone, you know, you have.
Noah
Mm.
Rich Davis
Can never find it.
Noah
Can never find it when you need it.
Rich Davis
Oh, we renovated the backyard. Let me show you the before picture. I mean, I know I have the before picture. How do I not wear.
Noah
And then sometimes you're able to find it. And here's the weird part of the phenomenon. The one time you're able to find, let's say, that picture or the clip, it doesn't play. How many times you find a YouTube clip, you're like, you got to see this. And that's when it's loading.
Rich Davis
And it's like, do we not have WI Fi here? What is going on?
Noah
Wait, hold on.
Rich Davis
I can't believe it's not playing standby. It's about to play. It's about to play.
Noah
The world does not want me to have this right now.
Rich Davis
I don't know what that.
Noah
I don't know what that phenomenon is, but just accept it.
Rich Davis
Oh, it's. Without a doubt. You tried the minute you like.
Noah
I call it the Cavino because it happens to me all the time.
Rich Davis
Happened to me just the other day. I told one of the dads, like, a little back to school thing. I'm like, yo, did you see the Ohtani triple play? No, I missed it. I'm like, yo, you got to see this. Of course, at that point, at that.
Noah
Moment, isn't that a breakfast here at Denny's?
Rich Davis
Oh, the Otani triple play.
Noah
Yeah. Only in Los Angeles. The rest of you guys are missing out.
Rich Davis
The Otani triple play comes with a bacon and sausage.
Noah
Yep.
Rich Davis
Ed Ham. I call it the Brady. We'll never find this clip, but back in the day when Tom, you know, before he chose football over his family, there was a time he came to a post game press conference and he was wearing some really stylish sweater that obviously Giselle had bought for him. Had purchased for him. He gets up to the podium and he looks like, damn Derek Zoolander. He looks like, oh, you nailed it.
Noah
His hair was all spiky. I remember it was the hair that really.
Rich Davis
I know it's hard being so ridiculously good looking.
Noah
He shows up like handsome Squidward.
Rich Davis
He looked like handsome Squidward with a Zoolander outfit on.
Noah
And he really did.
Rich Davis
And some, with all due respect, some fat reporter in a polo shirt with a lanyard around his neck.
Noah
Don't say that. Say fatso. It's coming back.
Rich Davis
Oh, fatso.
Noah
Yeah. It has a different, like, lighter ring to it.
Rich Davis
Some fatso.
Noah
There you go.
Rich Davis
With a polo shirt where the buttons were popping open in the top, with a lanyard around his neck with a comb over was like, tom, what's with the sweater? And Tom Brady just goes, I quote, tom Brady. He didn't say anything. He just goes. And that, ha ha, was a. You're criticizing me.
Noah
He's like, you. And I just.
Rich Davis
I remember the guy criticized Brady sweater. Brady looked at him and gave a little.
Noah
He gave him a Quinn Leonard like.
Rich Davis
And I think, I think for anyone criticizing the workout routine of LeBron James, he should give the world the Tom Brady.
Noah
Yeah. You could critique anything else. His work ethic, his 16 hour a day gym sessions, his form. It doesn't matter. Whatever he's doing is working. Not only on the court, but he's in great shape. Right? I mean, he looks fantastic for his age for anybody. So maybe his form isn't correct for, again, a power lifter or a gym rat or whatever. But whatever he's doing, you know, he knows his limits. He's a professional athlete. The people criticizing him, probably not.
Rich Davis
I always find it interesting. I don't think we could ever criticize someone that is super successful at that. Like, it's odd to me. Like, you again, it's like, yeah, but.
Noah
We all sort of do that in a way, right? And that's why, honestly, I think that's what separates our show from other shows. I think we always factor in, like, I might not be a fan of this guy or frustrated with this person, but they're still way better at this game than we were.
Rich Davis
I can hate the Mets.
Noah
Yeah, we're just fans and. And I think that's what separates this show. There's so many people that criticize from the sideline. And it's a wild thing that people need to keep in mind is perspective. That needs to change a little bit. It's like, really, you're criticizing them. Think about that.
Rich Davis
We've all seen the.
Noah
In fact, that's what Denzel Washington's mad about. We'll play that clip later on.
Rich Davis
We've all seen. Oh, the word fatso's in style now, right?
Noah
Kind of. I hear fatso. It's like a dirty word because it is. It's mean. But fats fat. So feels a little lighter than you're just fat. And I hear it used a lot more recently than you have in the.
Rich Davis
Past, like five plus years, bringing back fatso. Well, how about this? How about some fatso watching, like, I don't know, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, Netflix show, criticizing them.
Noah
America's sweetheart.
Rich Davis
Yeah, some. Some dude that is using his belly button for cheese dip while he's sitting on the couch. Fatso, like, cutting down these women. Like, yeah, she's all right. Yeah, she's all right. It's like seeing your not attractive friend swiping on Tinder or Bumble or something. And you're like, you're. You're saying no to her. You should say yes to anyone.
Noah
I think it's just LeBron's a polarizing guy. So no matter what he does is going to get criticized. And the latest, if you just joined us, Kavino and Rich in for Dan Patrick. Yeah, a lot of things he does is worthy of criticism. The way he flops. You could talk about the way he handled the Bronny James thing. Anything. The way he reads. The way he reads.
Rich Davis
He reads the first page of every book.
Noah
Exactly. Yeah. There's plenty of things to criticize, but the latest was his form and his technique at the gym. And look at this guy. Everything he's doing is wrong. And can you really critique if someone looks better and it works for them? Like what I'm thinking too, when I'm watching him, like, deadlift is all right. Maybe his form's not right, but he knows that if he pushes any further, that's how he might hurt himself. Like, this is just enough for me. Like, doing this works for me. Like, people know their own. People at that level especially know their own body.
Rich Davis
So have you ever seen those? Memes like, work out for what you do. And you see someone at the gym, you're like, what are they doing? And what's that Olympics about curling? It's someone that's just down on the floor doing this one motion, and you're like, what are they working out to do? And you're like, oh, that's what they do work out for you do. LeBron James clearly knows how to work.
Noah
Out what you're shooting for. Like, we brought up our buddy spot, who if it wasn't six something in the morning on the west coast, he'd probably be debating with you. But he's lifting to get strong and for strength in a lot of ways. You know, Rich lifts for. What do they call glamour muscles? What do we call them? Like, just to look good in a T shirt. Yeah.
Rich Davis
You just don't. Just don't. You don't want to look sloppy to maintain.
Noah
He's. And I'm the same way. I'm trying to look lighter. Ooh, ouch.
Rich Davis
I don't even know what he said.
Noah
He said, when's that gonna happen?
Rich Davis
Oh, do you mean the guy that didn't do a thing for 35 years, then all suddenly slim good buddy.
Noah
I mean the guy who Learned more in 2 years than you learned your.
Rich Davis
Whole life to mean the guy who's always injured, hobbled around the studio because.
Noah
That'S your go to. Because you don't understand what working out is. Wow.
Rich Davis
You could try all you want. Yeah, but you won't beat me in a rabbit.
Noah
Don't play with your five pound dumbbells. I'm sure the women will lend them to you. The Pee Wee Herman edition signature series.
Rich Davis
I do. I do fight the women at the gym for those small weights.
Noah
Yeah, Rich does use pink dumbbells.
Rich Davis
They're cuter.
Noah
Which is. How's that pink bowling ball treating you? Yeah. Has that five pound bowling ball treating you? So can you critique someone about their workouts? If they're in better shape, if they look better, and if it works for them, who cares? Beat it. Mind your business. He's at the gym 16 hours a day. They say 16 hour sessions, which sounds insane, but it's got to be something to what he's doing to last this long at that level. So maybe we should take a page from the LeBron book that he never reads and instead of criticizing him, say, hey, maybe this works. Yep.
Rich Davis
No diggity. No doubt. All right, listen, we're gonna get to a bunch. There's. There's a big rivalry that by the.
Noah
Way, can you tell me, spot what he's doing wrong before you move on?
Rich Davis
Why are you asking him like that?
Noah
Because we're showing the clip on our YouTube page. Another reason to check us out. YouTube.comino and Rich FSR. He's. He's doing these deadlifts. But like, I'm no John based out. I'm no John based out there, so I'm not seeing what the problem is. It's. Everyone thinks they know everything. It's. I mean, he. I wouldn't begin to know because I don't know exactly what his intention is exactly. Because he's doing something between a deadlift and a Romanian deadlift. He's yanking up the weight.
Rich Davis
This guy room. Is that.
Noah
Is that why he's wearing this war helmet? His lower back is a little bit too arched. You could argue. I don't know. There's. I mean, if I. You really have to go in and critique every little thing. But then you look at him. Look at his. His lean muscle mass. He's this shape. All right, so it's like. Do you look like Lebron? No. Then shut up. The end. That's really it. And that, that's like. I don't know. We should name this Shut up then. So Shut Up Fatso. Call it Shut Up Fatso. Shut Up Fatso. I'm going to pull Shut Up Fatso on you.
Rich Davis
So we got a lot to get to. It's a Friday. Danny's excited and every Dodgers and Padres fan is excited because the best rivalry in baseball this year, Padres Dodgers, goes down this weekend. So we will talk a little baseball coming up. But football's on the brain because we are less than three weeks away. So there's a couple fun stories in the world of football and a trend called honey potting. I'll explain. We'll talk about it next right here. Covino and Rich in for the great Dan Patrick.
Noah

In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible. Two young girls had photographed real fairies. But even more extraordinary than the magazine article's claim was the identity of the man who wrote the article. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The man who wrote Sherlock Holmes? Yes, the man who invented literature's most brilliant detective was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real. How did they do it? And why does it seem like so many smart people keep falling for outlandish tricks? These are the questions we explore in Hoax, a new podcast from me, Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood, and me, Lizzy Logan.
Az Fudd
Every episode we'll explore one of the most audacious and ambitious tricks in history, from the Fake Shakespeares to balloon boys, and try to answer the question of why we believe what we believe.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.
Lizzy Logan
Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.
Manny
Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.
Noah
And they're saying like, okay, pull this.
Manny
Until this, pull that, turn this it's just I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.
Noah
I'm Noah. This is Devin.
Manny
And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence.
Noah
Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise.
Manny
And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run, right? I'm looking at this thing.
Noah
See?
Manny
Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Noah
A foot washed up, a shoe with some bones in it.
Manny
They had no idea who it was.
Noah
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.
Devin
He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen.
Noah
I was just like, ah, gotcha.

What a week, huh? Most kids a week. What a country.
Rich Davis
Most kids out here back in school.
Noah
Yeah.
Rich Davis
And yeah, it's just that time of year football less than three weeks away.
Noah
It's shout out to Thornton Melon because he's back to school too. Or you like that. Or flashback reference.
Rich Davis
Or Billy Madison back to school.
Noah
That's Rich Davis. I'm. We got Iowa Sam on the glockenspiel. He's on the ones and twos. And Danny G super producing on the phones at 87799 on Fox. Remember that number because we're playing the game later. Chipotle worker or WNBA player? Well, all you have to do is not lose this multiple choice. You just not lose and you win a prize.

And we're streaming live on YouTube now at Covino and Rich FSR.
Rich Davis
Before you get back into your Padres Dodgers question, you mentioned Billy Madison back to school.
Noah
No, I didn't. You did.
Rich Davis
Oh, you said Thornton Mellon.
Noah
I brought up the Rodney Dangerfield classic away lamer reference. Both good, but you don't know about the triple Lindy.
Rich Davis
I'll go with Billy Madison to prove to dad I'm not a fool. We all watch Billy Madison a hundred times in the 90s, right?
Noah
Go ahead. What's the next line? What's the next line?
Rich Davis
Oh, I. I got my backpack on, my shoes tied tight. I hope I don't get in a fight.
Noah
Oh, is that it?
Rich Davis
Back to school. That is it.
Danny G
Back to school.
Rich Davis
So as you see kids go back to school. Let's see how dumb you are. What do you remember from your college days of watching Billy Madison on VHS tape?
Noah
What about it?
Rich Davis
My question is, can you name three teachers from the movie?
Noah
Well, Ms. Lippy definitely.
Rich Davis
Oh, Ms. Lippy.
Noah
Oh, yes.
Rich Davis
Ms. Lippy and her finger paintings.
Noah
Veronica Vaughan.
Rich Davis
So hot.
Noah
Want to touch the heiny? And I have to know another one. Yeah. Oh, Principal that guy. The horny guy.
Rich Davis
P.S. i'm horny. Yeah, him.
Noah
Oh, the revolting blob Anderson.
Rich Davis
Principal Anderson, was that the third you were at?
Noah
All right. Look at you. I kind of won. Thank you. Danny G Was my lifeline.
Rich Davis
He gave me the. That's the alley oop.
Noah
Yeah. That guy was so horny.
Rich Davis
Spell razuto.
Noah
All right, so before we get into Denzel Washington, best actor ever.
Rich Davis
It's not even a word.
Noah
He has something to say about sports 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.
Rich Davis
Well, she passed away. She had passed away months ago. And her request was, when I'm gone, I want the family to all get.
Noah
Together here because this was my favorite place. I had never been Lake Tahoe in a beautiful cabin, beautiful setting. I had never been here. 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.
Rich Davis
And I say, who knows cool more than you?
Noah
Yeah. I mean, I got that sort of radar going on. Like, that's the cool 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 fail. 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? 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.
Rich Davis
Didn't backfire. By the way, didn't this backfire with you recently also where someone was wearing a band T shirt.
Noah
So funny.
Rich Davis
And you tried.
Noah
I had a flashback.
Rich Davis
And you tried to make small talk and you're like, oh, big O. They had like a rush shirt on.
Noah
What was it? I went to get like a some bodywork appraised on my car. Right? This is an endorsement for me. Should have went to Manko.
Rich Davis
Oh.
Noah
So I went to some jabroni, I.
Rich Davis
Think when you went to the body shop. But that, that was the strip club in la.
Noah
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 Diary. 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?
Rich Davis
Hasn't got a legitimate hair, hasn't updated his hairstyle since 88.
Noah
Yeah, he looked like again, a roadie from a rock band. He had a 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 to. And then he goes on to tell me how he start 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 nah. 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.
Rich Davis
Whoever wins, I win.
Noah
Yeah, I wish I. Hedging your bets? No, but here's how he explained.
Rich Davis
I wish I could have that mentality because it's a full. It's like, it's brilliant, but stupid.
Noah
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, 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.
Manny
I'm just telling you.
Noah
I'm telling you what he said.
Devin
Okay, but I take offense to this as a lifelong Dodgers fan.
Noah
Yeah, go ahead.
Devin
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.
Rich Davis
Padres fans have got a pretty. They've been developing a pretty cool home field advantage because they used to be.
Devin
Calm and cool, now they're loud and a little bit abrasive sometimes outspoken. Covino's favorite rappers are Padres fans.
Noah
That's what's it.
Devin
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.
Noah
And that's why I brought this up to. 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. But 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's in.
Rich Davis
Let me tell you, the Padres, Dodgers. Impossible to like both.
Noah
But then again, another one that steps just as bad.
Rich Davis
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. But what do you do? You just give up on who you like? I don't get. I don't get that mindset. I question whether or not you're really a fan.
Noah
Yeah, I don't know, man. He was all decked out like we said.
Rich Davis
Imagine going to imagine being a New Yorker and being like, you know what? I'm a big Giants fan.
Noah
I thought Tony Gwynn was at the party.
Rich Davis
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.
Noah
My compromise was this.
Rich Davis
And the Dodgers.
Noah
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 them.
Rich Davis
Yeah, but. But. And even the Mets and Yankees aren't rivals. It's more of, like, a city alliance thing.
Noah
Like, Dodgers, Padres might be. It's a top three. Like, you can't do that, but he did.
Rich Davis
You know what it's like. You know, a lot of teams, Danny won't 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, like, odd, right? Like, you don't want to give someone something or.
Devin
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 Niners shirt.
Rich Davis
It's bs. It's like, you ever see a politician throw on the hat of a team in a. In a city, like. And you're like, just full baloney. Stop it. It's so disingenuous. Nothing bothers me more than a politician.
Noah
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.
Rich Davis
And Sebastian, with all due respect, I love Sebastian. He's actually a friend of the show.
Noah
Oh, yeah.
Rich Davis
He's not a big sports guy. He's more of, like a comedy music guy.
Noah
More like a dancing comedian.
Rich Davis
Yeah, I mean, like, he's a funny.
Devin
Guy, but how come he's never come on our show?
Rich Davis
Can't, like, 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. Everybody's Scott out here. One of my. One of the dads at the school I really like. And he's like, he has an Angels hat, but he's like, I like the Dodgers, too. Is that okay, Danny? Because it's Al N.L. and the Angels.
Devin
It's more understandable.
Noah
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 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 bases. You're like, slide out of left field.
Rich Davis
Yeah, I can't handle it. If I hear someone say, comes out.
Noah
Of left field, like, he's Jason Dominguez to correct the guy.
Rich Davis
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, I'm like, I'm sorry. Excuse me. Pardon me. What you're saying is wrong.
Noah
Double Todd Davis over here.
Rich Davis
I can't handle it. If I met this guy Camino, I don't 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.
Noah
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, Ovino and Rich. And you're always welcome to call 87799 on Fox. We love talking to you guys and chopping it up.
Rich Davis
You know what? I see it a lot in our industry, being that 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?
Noah
Yeah, but podcasts are like stinkholes, Rich. Yeah, everybody has one, but. And most of them stink.
Rich Davis
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 you film for Dan, what is dan on, like, 600 different radio stations.
Noah
Yeah.
Rich Davis
When you're on one local station, I always found that 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.
Noah
I met him. He was a Tigers fan.
Rich Davis
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.
Noah
Now he's looked like Alan Trammell. Now, I thought it was Matt Noakes in 86.
Rich Davis
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. There's a part of me that's like, come on, man, would you like him? Maybe it can. It's not like the Tigers. It's not like the Tigers are rivals with. With the Diamondbacks.
Noah
Right. I mean, again, for professional reasons, I'm sure it was easier for him, but.
Rich Davis
Well, our boss told me, he goes, my man, the Dodgers pay the bills. You should like the Dodgers. You know what?
Noah
I've you know, I've been here for a decade. Can I root for the Dodgers? I think that's okay.
Rich Davis
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.
Danny G
Hey, what's going on, guys? Thank you for having me.
Rich Davis
Oh, no problem. Met a guy that said he's a Padres and Dodgers fan. Is that possible?
Danny G
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 him a guardian.
Noah
Yeah.
Danny G
Cavs fan. And if my son got drafted by the Steelers, I would throw on a Steelers jersey in a minute.
Rich Davis
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.
Noah
Richie's gonna be like.
Rich Davis
I would start leading the. The chant. Yeah, I would, I would buy a Philly fanatic bobblehead. Rich is going to be a full suit.
Noah
He's going to be politically incorrect with the whole headdress on there, rooting his son up. Dude, if the face paint and everything.
Rich Davis
If, if my kid ended up on the Cowboys or the Seahawks, it's a family affair at that point. Yeah, your kids take priority. But I'm saying, if you're just talking about.
Noah
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 saying it nationally on the radio.
Rich Davis
If you relocate Covino.
Noah
Yeah.
Rich Davis
And your kids are raised different than you, there's also that rub of, well, can your kids root for the team?
Noah
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.
Rich Davis
My buddy, he's like watching the prize.
Noah
Fight and you're like, hey, who are you rooting for? You're like, both.
Rich Davis
I just hope both sides have fun.
Noah
Yeah, you can't do that.
Rich Davis
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.
Noah
What am I, New York's third team?
Rich Davis
He's like, what am I gonna do? He goes, all their friends are Bills fans and the Bills are really good. And dad's a Jets fan. What am I gonna be like?
Noah
No.
Rich Davis
So, you know, let's go to Dave in Buffalo. Speaking of Buffalo, what's up, man?
Noah
Hey, Dave.
Danny G
Hey now, Rich.
Noah
What's up, buddy?
Danny G
Let me tell you something. If it wasn't for RDJ and back to school, we would eventually gotten. I am Iron Man. Baba Booey.
Noah
FA FA fooey.
Rich Davis
FA FA foo. Let's say hi to Mo and Tempe. What's up, Mo?
Noah
Hey, Mo.
Danny G
Hey. Morning, guys.
Noah
Hey.
Danny G
Hey. Shout out to Rialto. I grew up in Fontana. So much love out there.
Devin
Nice. Next door neighbor.
Danny G
Yeah. So I grew up, you know, 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. But he likes all of my rivals, which is horrible. He likes the Cardinals, he likes the sun. He's 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.
Rich Davis
I like the Broncos and the Chargers. That's. I think that's the role. I think, I mean, and that's.
Devin
I love the entire AFC West.
Noah
Yeah. That. Like this particular. If you have two teams. That's not even what we're talking about. If you have two teams. Yeah.
Rich Davis
So bad. Whatever.
Noah
You got your reason. Some people, rivals. That's when it doesn't add up.
Rich Davis
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 less. Hey, if you're a New Yorker 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.
Noah
Exactly.
Rich Davis
Come on.
Noah
Like. No, hey, hold on. You like two teams, but not those two teams.
Rich Davis
You know, I really find myself rooting for the packers and the Bears. No, it's like oil. It's like oil and vinegar. Oil and water.
Noah
Whatever. They don't.
Rich Davis
All right, let's go to Jake in Burbank. What's up, Jake?
Danny G
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 are you insane?
Rich Davis
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 doesn't.
Devin
Your son likes the Dodgers, though?
Rich Davis
My son likes Ohtani. That bothers me, but.
Noah
No, but he's allowed to. You like Ken Griffey Jr. Growing up, didn't you?
Rich Davis
My all did. As long as my son's top players include some Mets. My son.
Noah
Yeah, you're allowed to have favorite players.
Rich Davis

Noah

Rich Davis

Noah
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 heads, 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.
Rich Davis

Az Fudd
Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Ern Malley. In an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial, the Ern Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzy.
Lizzy Logan
Logan and me, Dana Schwartz. Every episode, Hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artworks to the original fake news. To try and answer why we believe.

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.
Devin
He never thought he was going to get caught, and I just looked at my computer screen.

Martinez hit us up on the intro chat here at Fox Sports Radio and he wanted to know how many cholos in East LA have a Dodgers tattoo. What percentage?
Noah
Oh, probably five out of five out of 10.
Devin
I was going to say 47%.
Rich Davis
47%. It has to be right, that Dodgers tattoo. And you know, you see so much about here in la, those upside down LA Dodger Hats. I don't know if it's a brand or it was a trend, but you know what I'm talking about. The LA is upside down. That's like the big thing for some reason.
Noah
It is, yeah. But, you know, it's more of a.
Rich Davis
Is it just a new arrows spin on it or something?
Noah
Yeah, it's. It's the. The vatos locals forever with all the LA tattoos. It's more about the lifestyle and the culture.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Noah
I'm not saying they're not fans, but it's like it's less of a logo and more of like. Yeah. Way of life.
Devin
I like when. I like when the team tattoos are creative and more subtle. Like, I have a Dodgers D in the handwriting, but it's the handle of a sword.
Rich Davis
Well, Danny, for the Raiders, we are. We are broadcasting video live. You have. And you're on camera right now. You want to show one of your tattoos real quick?
Devin
Let me see if I can.
Rich Davis
Danny G's rocking some. Some sweet ink.
Noah
Yeah, look at that. Look at that bad boy. And again, a Dodgers tattoo. It represents the city. It's just la.
Rich Davis
Yeah, right. It's like it's a. Like they always said. The New York Yankee hat isn't really for necessarily only Yankee fans. It's the most popular baseball cap around the world.
Noah
Actually, the logo History Boy here was designed by Tiffany and company for the nypd.
Rich Davis
You are History boy. Are you?
Noah
So there's more meaning to just. If it's the city, I guess there's a little more wiggle room there because you're representing the city. All right. Anyway, it is game time. Chipotle worker or WNBA player?

Podcast Summary: The Best of The Dan Patrick Show
Title: The Best of The Dan Patrick Show
Host: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
Release Date: August 15, 2025
Duration: Approximately 76 minutes
As the episode kicks off, hosts Rich Davis and Noah welcome listeners to their Friday edition, expressing excitement for the weekend. They briefly reflect on their week, mentioning their achievements, such as completing a hat trick and managing their regular show times. The hosts emphasize the importance of live streaming on YouTube, encouraging fans to join the conversation and participate actively.
Rich Davis [02:48]: "Yo, what's up buds? Friday."
Noah [02:50]: "Good morning. Good day. It is Friday. Finally. Friday TGIF."
The conversation shifts to parenting, introducing the concept of "Fafo," an acronym for "F around and find out." This modern parenting style advocates allowing children to experience natural consequences rather than imposing strict control. Noah shares a personal anecdote about applying Fafo with his teenage daughter, highlighting the balance between discipline and trust.
Noah [06:27]: "Fafo doesn't mean I'm going to slap you upside your head like my dad used to say. It means let them fail on their own."
Rich Davis [08:28]: "You don't need to tie everything to sports. But I feel that way."
A significant portion of the episode delves into the polarizing nature of sports icons, particularly focusing on LeBron James and Tom Brady. The hosts discuss recent criticisms of LeBron's workout routines, questioning the validity of critiques given his exceptional longevity and physical condition in the NBA.
Noah [12:10]: "Recent online discussion erupted after users critiqued LeBron James' workout while lifting. But he looks like a specimen."
Rich Davis [13:54]: "And some fat jabroni on Twitter is criticizing how he works out."
They draw parallels to Tom Brady's infamous sweater incident, using it as a metaphor for unwarranted criticism. The hosts argue that successful athletes like LeBron and Brady possess an intrinsic understanding of their training regimens, making external critiques less credible.
Rich Davis [20:27]: "And some fatso... He's like, you. And I just..."
Rich and Noah explore the complexities of sports team loyalty, especially when relocating to a new city with rival teams. They discuss scenarios where fans struggle to maintain allegiance to their original teams while embracing local rivals, emphasizing the authenticity of true fandom.
Rich Davis [43:06]: "You know, a lot of teams, Danny won't honestly within their division because it just feels wrong."
Noah [44:07]: "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."
The hosts share personal experiences and listener anecdotes, highlighting the challenges and sometimes humorous situations that arise from divided team loyalties.
Interactive segments form a core part of the episode, with listeners participating in games such as "Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player." Contestants guess whether a name corresponds to a real person in a specific role, enhancing listener involvement and offering prizes like Nerf footballs.
Rich Davis [65:03]: "Are you going to get a Marie Brown jersey?"
Noah [65:06]: "Yeah, I knew it's not a real job."
The playful banter between Rich and Noah fosters a lively atmosphere, encouraging more audience participation and building a sense of community among listeners.
As the episode nears its end, the hosts preview upcoming segments, including discussions on football rivalries, the phenomenon of "honey potting" in the NFL, and tease further interactive elements. They reiterate the importance of live streaming and audience interaction via YouTube.
Rich Davis [73:53]: "Coming up, we are going to go over what you need to watch, not only in the world of sports, we'll go over football, baseball, what are the hot games and fights this week at the checkout."
Noah [75:22]: "No Such Thing."
The hosts wrap up by encouraging listeners to stay tuned for future episodes, participate in upcoming contests, and follow their live streams for a more immersive experience.
"Fafo" Parenting: Emphasizes trusting children to learn from their own mistakes, promoting independence and resilience.
Critique of Successful Athletes: Highlights the challenges of externally critiquing well-established athletes who have demonstrated exceptional performance and longevity.

Noah [06:27]: "Fafo doesn't mean I'm going to slap you upside your head like my dad used to say. It means let them fail on their own."
Noah [12:10]: "Recent online discussion erupted after users critiqued LeBron James' workout while lifting. But he looks like a specimen."
Rich Davis [20:27]: "...and that you should give the world the Tom Brady."
Noah [44:07]: "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."
Rich Davis [73:53]: "Coming up, we are going to go over what you need to watch... what are the hot games and fights this week at the checkout."
