[Dan Beyer]

You know, Danny G. I wanted to talk to you about this off the air, but I might as well ask you now. I know we have one of our newer affiliates and a lot of support up in Sacramento, correct?

[Steve Cavino]

That's right.

[Dan Beyer]

Cavino and I might be taking a little day trip. Little quick flight. Mets are playing the a's in Sacramento.

[Rich Davis]

April 13th, I think, right? Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

So if that's the case, what's the chance of this guy throwing out a first pitch? Never done it. It's on my bucket list.

[Rich Davis]

Never done it like anyone thought you.

[Dan Beyer]

Did, bozos throughout the first pitch.

[Rich Davis]

Really?

[Dan Beyer]

We have friends that work at local radio stations around the country that throw out first pitch. Really? You know what?

[Rich Davis]

Eat. Anyway, yeah, Rich is like the white 50 cent. I would love to see this. We should make it happen. But, hey, all the affiliates, I'd love to visit. Let's make it happen. I'd love to be there and broadcast live from your city. We appreciate you airing our show. I want more affiliates.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm just saying, bro. I mean, you get one chance. You're either Baba Bowie 50 cent or you're like President Bush who threw a.

[Rich Davis]

If anyone should get the first Pitch in Sacktown. It should be me the Sackman. Because before they called me Latino Covino, they called me the Sackman. Not because of what you're thinking right now, because my initials are Steven Anthony Covino.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, thanks. Clarify.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go. I liked you better when you were Phil A. Pino Covino. Oh, no, that was another one. That was another phase of my life. Sam. First name Phil, last name Pino.

[Dan Beyer]

So as. Let's speak in kids terms. Hey, Dan Byer. What's up?

[Steve Cavino]

I was just going to say leave it to the A's. To allow a Mets fan to throw out the first pitch at one of their home games. You know, like that would be very. Excuse me. Athletic. Yes. A's.

[Dan Beyer]

I'll throw in an A shirt and then rip it off like I'm a villain. Like I'd have my Met shirt underneath.

[Steve Cavino]

Here's Dwight Gooden.

[Dan Beyer]

Let's talk about, let's, let's talk in terms that our kids would know. Dan Byer covino. Danny G. 2 sleeps until baseball can't wait. And you know, kids always say, how many sleeps? Two sleeps until the baseball season.

[Rich Davis]

Life changes, man. Life really changes.

[Dan Beyer]

No doubt.

[Rich Davis]

Something to watch.

[Dan Beyer]

What's going to be on every TV in here, all the games, Baseball.

[Rich Davis]

Love it. And speaking of something to watch, hope you had a Bronnie James sort of night last night. Not a Grant Ellis sort of night. You know, Grant Ellis is the bachelor who picked. Well, I mean he picked a sweet young lady, but I think he blew it. He should have picked the other girl. But Bronnie James lit it up. 39 points in the G League, dude. He's straight gangster playing big. I love it. So I hope you had a great Monday night. We're gonna have a great Tuesday. And the show begins.

[Dan Beyer]

And being that we are two sleeps away from the baseball season, can't wait. What are you most excited about besides your Yankees? Are you excited to see storylines?

[Rich Davis]

Just to see, you know, what the Yankees do. Is Soto going to deliver? Is Shohei just. So many big names and big stars developing? Is there. There's always a surprise team that just rides on chemistry, you know, surprise players that have breakout seasons. Is. Is going to continue doing his thing.

[Dan Beyer]

Are the young players in the league like the Bobby Witt juniors and Hendersons, are they going to De La Cruz? Is De La Cruz is going to steal like 80 bases this year?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, there's lots to look forward to, man. Lots of big studs.

[Dan Beyer]

It's interesting you bring up the name Paul Skeens. Because we said the other day, for a second year pitcher, wild to think that he is by far the favorite to win the Cy Young in the National League. And they're saying if you thought his stuff was electric last year, he's worked on additional pitches. The guy's got work ethic like you wouldn't believe. They're saying the young Pirates who got some great players should start trying to figure out the next couple of years because who knows if he'll be there forever. They're saying Paul Skeens, Allah Dwight Gooden could be rookie of the Year and then followed up with a Cy Young. So Paul Skeens is going to be must watch baseball.

[Rich Davis]

That's what I'm saying. There's a lot of appointment watching with baseball that we haven't had in a while. We already made this point. I thought it was a sweet original thought of mine. For the first time in forever, how.

[Dan Beyer]

Good of a point was like a shooter McGavin Point?

[Rich Davis]

Like it was a pretty good point for the first time ever. Because baseball is synonymous with your team. You're just watching your team. You don't really watch the Rockies versus the Cardinals. You just don't if they're not your team. But for the first time, I'm watching more than one team, more than just my team. Got my eye on the Dodgers, how could you not? Got my eye on the Phillies, how could you not? Bryce Harper, that whole team. And he's just so likable on social media. Got my eye on the AL east, how could you not? Got my eye on your Mets, how could you not? There's people that do. For the first time, I'm actually tuning into other teams that I would have never tuned into before.

[Dan Beyer]

This is good for the rivalry. Not great for you. There's a lot of people that think not only do Yankees fans have to worry about the Orioles, who are good.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly.

[Dan Beyer]

The Rays always compete, the Blue Jays. But they're saying the Red Sox may have revamped, revamped quicker than you think.

[Rich Davis]

I know Rafael Devers is a beast. So you got to roll this Chapman. I hate that guy Bregman on that squad. So yeah, they're rebuilding. They're looking to win this year. They're looking to take the ale. So there's a lot to watch and I'm very excited for it. Very excited.

[Dan Beyer]

Now I want to throw some numbers at you.

[Rich Davis]

I want to throw the first pitch at an Oakland game to.

[Dan Beyer]

Not Oakland anymore at an A's game. They're just the A's, guys. So, I mean, if you can't throw a pitch at the A's game, might as well call quits. You're never going to throw it. So I heard our pal Mad Dog Russo, he's always on MLB tv.

[Rich Davis]

Who?

[Dan Beyer]

He loves baseball.

[Rich Davis]

Mad Dog.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey, it's me, Mad Dog Russo. He gives Blue Steel sexy looks when he's just listening to Stephen A.

[Rich Davis]

If you're new to the Covino and Rich show, just to give you a visual, Rich is from Long Island, Right. I'm from New Jersey. Rich's dad is a hardcore Long island, you know, New York kind of guy. Oh, great to see you guys. Rich's dad is a mixture in my mind of Mad Dog root. They're all cut from the same cloth, right? Rich's dad, George Jetson, Mad Dog and Mick Jagger. Rich's dad is a mixture of all those guys.

[Dan Beyer]

I could see all those things you just said. So I'm hearing Mad Dog Russo.

[Rich Davis]

Oh. Talking about I do look like George Jensen.

[Dan Beyer]

He's talking about Paul Skeens, and they throwed a number and I sort of. I did the quick math on it. And I'm sure you're going to do the same quick math when I say it. He was talking to some baseball insiders about how this year. Yeah, you're going to get a lot of innings out of Paul Skeens. If healthy, they're saying, yo, he may throw 180innings.

[Rich Davis]

He's one of those big, sturdy, old school, Nolan Ryan, Clemens sort of workhorse type of guys.

[Dan Beyer]

Six, six, two, six, seven.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. So I'm not surprised by that.

[Dan Beyer]

But he said 180 innings. And then I started to.

[Rich Davis]

But he said it like Daffy Duck because that's how he talks. But he looks like your dad. That's why you like him.

[Dan Beyer]

When I say 180innings, do you immediately start doing the math that I did? Where. All right, so you look at a 30 starts, six innings, a 20.

[Rich Davis]

He's pitching 20 complete games.

[Dan Beyer]

I mean, that's one way. But did you start doing that math, too? Like, all right, six innings times 30 starts. If he misses a couple, that's 180.

[Rich Davis]

Dude. He's a big, young, strong guy. I think that's. That's a fair statement. But it's just crazy in today's world where everybody's built with glass, you know, like, everyone's so fragile.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, without boring you with too many numbers, I just want to backtrack a little bit. This is a version of. This is Our Life Baseball Edition. Because when you said 180 innings from a young dude like Skeens, that almost felt like you're pushing it, right? Like, whoa, 180innings. That's a lot. I want to go back 10 years at a time over the last 50, 60 years of baseball and just give you the league leader in innings pitched. Just to show you how we have grown to just accept the fact that.

[Rich Davis]

Pitchers go five or six game changed.

[Dan Beyer]

This past year.

[Rich Davis]

Middle reliever became a bigger deal.

[Dan Beyer]

This, this past year, the two league leaders in innings pitched, Logan Webb and Gilbert on the Mariners, just over 200, 204 and 208. Last year could have been the last year where the leaders were over 200 innings. 200 innings used to be three of your five starters. Let's go back to 2015, 10 years ago. Okay, I'm giving you the league leaders. Kershaw. 232. Dallas. Kaikal. 232. 10 years before that. 05. Levon Hernandez. 246. Mark Burley. 236. Let's go back 10 years before that. 90s. Greg's. Greg Maddox. 267. Cal Eldridge. Remember that guy?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

258. Let's go back to 85. Gooden. 276. Burt Bly. Levin. 293.

[Rich Davis]

Great Scott.

[Dan Beyer]

Now let's go back to 1975.

[Rich Davis]

Wow.

[Dan Beyer]

Messerman. Don't know him. 321. Catfish Hunter, 328. And now let's go back to 1965. Sandy Koufax. 335. And it was a down year for the N.L. mel Stottlemeier. I'm sorry, the Al. 291.

[Rich Davis]

So over three hundred and thirty to what was Keen's projected this year?

[Dan Beyer]

180 we're talking about.

[Rich Davis]

That's so funny. And we're making a big deal about it.

[Dan Beyer]

But I'm. Listen, I know the game has changed and I'm not an old guy. So it's not like I was even alive in the 60s.

[Rich Davis]

It's a matter of so many things, Rich. And we've had these conversations over and over again. It's the middle reliever, how the game has changed. It's also conditioning. Right. More injuries than ever before and investment reasons. You don't want to push these guys to those limits. But conditioning is something that is discussed but really isn't talked about enough. I talk about it with my friends and family. You know these guys. We grew up watching these slender built fellows like Ron Guidry. They weren't getting hurt the way players are getting hurt today. You know, you got Cole, he's out for the season. Clark Schmidt is hurt. All these Yankee pitchers are hurt. Yankee pitchers were not going down like that. They didn't have the muscle. They didn't have the same conditioning today that's really leading to all these injuries.

[Dan Beyer]

By the way, speaking of Paul Skeens, as we talk about him, MLB and CBS Sports both have stories running right now about Skeens. I just saw the stat +200 to win the Cy Young on DraftKings and FanDuel.

[Rich Davis]

So it's going to be a lot of skins talk this year. A lot of show. Hey talk. It's going to be the usual suspects, but it's, it's superstars that baseball hasn't seen in a long time. Name recognition, Paul Skeens, you're going to be hearing that all season. Shohei Ohtani all season.

[Dan Beyer]

Libby Dunn, Mookie Dunn all season. With Paul Skeens, you're going to hear.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron Judge all season. And that's something that we haven't had, you know, notice. I'm ignoring Juan Soto. I know, but again, all season long, Lynn Door. I love that guy. These are big names, big market teams. We have to embrace it because it's been a minute.

[Dan Beyer]

It's good.

[Rich Davis]

Baseball's been this exciting.

[Dan Beyer]

It's going to be so much fun to watch baseball year.

[Rich Davis]

Look at those. Look at those names, dude.

[Dan Beyer]

The, the odds.

[Rich Davis]

Kyle Tucker.

[Dan Beyer]

The, the odds to an mvp. The so many junior, so many great names in baseball right now. As Colin Cowherd said, stars. He pointed out how baseball is peaking right now. Stars. They're stars and stars. And baseball should take advantage of this moment because baseball's back in a big way, baby.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think we've seen it like this since we were kids when every team had a standout sort of guy. Every dude, every team had their George Brett, their Paul Molitor, their Wade Boggs. You know, every team had their star. We're starting to get back to that point right now and we need to notice it and embrace it.

[Dan Beyer]

Social media and the younger generation may be starting to embrace baseball a little more as well. But I just want to throw that innings stat out there. Not because I'm stat boy and not because I think people are soft now just to show you how much the game has changed. So if your parents are boomers, when your parents were little kids, guys like Sandy Koufax, we're throwing close to double close to double the innings that Cy Young candidates are projected to throw.

[Rich Davis]

Well, that's why you heard a lot of rumors last year.

[Dan Beyer]

Double, dude, double.

[Rich Davis]

You heard a lot of talk about the criteria of what would be considered a win in starting pitching and how they wanted to change that to keep these pitchers in there longer.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, there was that proposal, Right. Where it was six innings or 100 pitches.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly.

[Dan Beyer]

And. And if not, there was some type of bullpen penalty or something. Right. Like it. It's. It's a very interesting game, and I think baseball's peaking now. I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining. As you said, you point out the most obvious thing, the importance of a bullpen. If you were a kid of the 80s or 90s until the bullpen really emerged in the 90s. And I think you started to see that with I'll be on your Yankees. I remember when Wetland and Mariano Rivera with a setup closer. That was the setup.

[Rich Davis]

The setup closer changed the game. Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

And then another Yankee reference, which I hate that all these are Yankees references. But when Jabba Chamberlain was coming off an injury, the jobber rules, which was a hundred pitches, five innings, and then everyone's like, yeah, the jobber rule should apply to every young pitcher. It changed everything. Because when you think of some of those great teams, we grew up with you Jabba.

[Rich Davis]

But you could say it's just the money changed it, because we were just protecting the money at that point.

[Dan Beyer]

But think about all those great Braves teams of the 90s, those Yankees teams. I'll even think of my 86 Mets. Think of the Royals and Twins and the Cardinals. All those teams of the 80s when we were little boys collecting baseball cards.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Good luck naming more than two relievers on your own team. Nothing. As an 86 Mets kid, that was my. That was my team because I was in kindergarten. That was like my introduction. Right.

[Rich Davis]

That's it. You had your closer and maybe another guy.

[Dan Beyer]

You know who the Mets relievers are, and you know both of them.

[Rich Davis]

Jesse Orozco and Franco.

[Dan Beyer]

No, Franco was in 90s.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, well, I'm thinking in the 80s. In the 80s, Jesse Orozco, the other.

[Dan Beyer]

Guy, was better known for hotfoots.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, McDowell.

[Dan Beyer]

Roger McDowell. Roger McDowell. You can't. You lived in New York your whole life until recently. You couldn't think of another reliever because other than the Yankees, I remember they had Wetland and Mariano.

[Rich Davis]

That was the 90s. So 80s what? Rigetti and who? I don't know, because I watched the Yankees.

[Dan Beyer]

Look, couldn't tell you Pick a random game from let's say 87. Right. There could be a starter that went seven or eight and gave up seven runs because they just like yeah, your game.

[Rich Davis]

Yep. So it's on full display. My prediction, it starts in two days.

[Dan Beyer]

My prediction, it's not the boldest, craziest prediction, but I bet this is the first year where in the AL or nl it's gonna be the first season ever other than the strikes shortened season for all the stat boys out there. Other than the strikes shortened season. 94, this will be the first time ever that the Al and NL innings leader is under 200. I don't think anyone's throwing 200 innings this year. Last year 204 and 208. It's not trending up. And now there's a lot of teams. Danny, your Dodgers, would you be shocked if they stuck with a six man the whole season?

[Rich Davis]

Not at all. Oh, I think they should. Yeah, I think they should. Why not?

[Dan Beyer]

Teams have a plethora of starting pitching and they're like, well, what are we going to waste this for? And the Dodgers are going to win 100 plus games easy. The Dodgers are never going to throw a five man rotation ever. Mark my words. So we got more Covino and Rich. It's a little fun baseball to get you started.

[Rich Davis]

Have a story too rich for you before we play the game. Quote me. We have a game of our own called quote me. We're giving away prizes. All you have to do is guess who said it.

[Dan Beyer]

It's a fun one.

[Rich Davis]

Who quoted it? Yeah. For a chance to win a swiggy. Before we do that, I have a story about an annoying neighbor. I have a personal story. But then Dan Beyer has an even better story and we go over the neighborhood sports rules. Okay, we do that next here on the show.

[Dan Beyer]

Perfect though. More Kavino and Rich coming up here on Fox Sports Radio. Now I got these in the mail. I know you're probably jealous. Well, you probably got the Yankees one. Travis Matthew has a sports line now.

[Rich Davis]

They have the Major League baseball collection. Travis Matthew, MLB collection. And it is, it's so dope I can't even put it into words. I, because I want to say something I probably can't say on the radio. I was so pumped when I got these. They got high end like sports gear.

It looks great. So nice. So nice. So thank you guys for hanging out with us. We're going to play quote me the game that sweeps the nation giving away prizes. We got to talk new Trends in the NFL. Lot to fit in on this action packed show. DB's got your update and a story so I'll start it off. Steve Cavino here from Union, New Jersey. Why is that important? Because we all moved out here as a show like 10 years ago. I moved out here 15 years ago because I became a dad and I'm the only one out here. Me, my sister Grace. My sister Grace moved out here to help me. So long Story short, I don't have a lot of family out here on the west side. It's just me and all the Vatos Locos. So my sister Jen came to visit. Nobody ever visits Steve. For whatever reason. There's an east coast mentality that if you moved away, you come visit. We're not gonna come visit you.

[Dan Beyer]

To quote your visitors, call your daddy.

[Rich Davis]

You're the one that left. Hey, you're the one that left when.

[Dan Beyer]

We gotta go there and kiss your ass. Yeah, but dad, I'm not gonna go there and kiss you.

[Rich Davis]

And you want to go, you come back see me.

[Dan Beyer]

But Dad, I have two jobs and I'm. I'm a dad. And I got stuff going on. You're retired.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but you know, the weather out here is nice. Sunshine every day in la. All those LA people. What does that mean, dad? So anyway, they don't nobody visits me. But my sister Jen did recently, right? And she hadn't been here in a few years. She hadn't seen my new place. I was so happy to have my sister Jen here. And my sister Jen brought her daughter Scarlet. Why is this important? Because no one visits me. And it was nice. I said, you know what? Funkle Steve's gonna have a pizza party Saturday night. Jen, Scarlet, and then my sister who lives here brought her kids. So there's three little kids. Three little kids at my place.

[Dan Beyer]

Meanwhile, I hope they got jelly stains on your couch.

[Rich Davis]

I live in a condo.

[Dan Beyer]

I hope you got a taste of that life.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I live like a, in like a sleeker sort of place. Not very kid friendly. But the point is, I rarely if ever have company. I live in a condo complex with an HOA and all that nonsense. Sounds fun, but I do own the place. I own the place. It's nice. Spiral staircase. Yeah, it's a nice spot. I've seen pics. But you haven't invited me over yet. Oh, I, I won't. Meanwhile, I mean, I will someday. I've been Rich's house like eight times already.

[Dan Beyer]

Know that's called friendship. He, you know, that's my point.

[Rich Davis]

You live closer to Rich is close to me. You leave even live even closer. We'll have like a fight night. Pizza night. Maybe. Wait until you hear my story. I rarely have company over, but my sister's in town. Funkle Steve's having a pizza party. Kids are doing what kids do. Uncle Steve's doing flippy dippies and spinning them around a little bit again. Spinning them around. Right. Dude, it's 7:45, 7:37, I think on a Saturday night, what do I get? And I'm like, huh? My sister turns down the music a little bit. I go to the door and it's some younger girl that lives beneath me with her robe on. She's like, yeah, she. At first she was shocked it was me. She thought I was like the cooler guy that lived in a building I guess. She's like, oh, it's you. Oh, but you're really loud. Like are you guys like playing hide and seek or something? I'm like, yeah, cuz my nieces are here. It's 7:30 on a Saturday.

[Dan Beyer]

She's a younger girl shows up, a robe. Could have went way cooler.

[Rich Davis]

This is not a cool story. This is not like the movie Knock Knock with Keanu Reeves where Anna de Armas shows up. No, this is like, what are you doing here?

[Dan Beyer]

I'm like, yeah, my shower's broken, Can I use yours?

[Rich Davis]

Funko Steve is having a pizza party with my nieces. You're not invited. Sort of killing the vibe right now. My dog goes running out the hallway. So she's like, yeah, can you like tone it down? And I'm like, yeah. And I go and chase after the dog. And thankfully I went to chase after the dog. Cause I was really gonna say something I regretted, right? I'm like, you're a young woman. It's 7:30 on a Saturday night.

[Dan Beyer]

Get a life.

[Rich Davis]

It's not like past curf. Move ten. Like you're by. I never have company ever. 364 days of the year. It's quiet and not to like flex. I own this place you rent. Beat it. If you don't want to hear my footsteps, don't live downstairs.

[Mel Reid]

Get the.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, I bit my tongue so hard. But you know what the truth is? The truth is, it killed the vibe. My sisters were like, is everything okay? Maybe we should go home now. I'm like, guys, pizza party. Don't let her ruin the fun. Everything's good.

[Dan Beyer]

We haven't even had dessert yet.

[Rich Davis]

And then my girlfriend's like, well, we were kind of loud. I'm like, they're little kids. Kids. Beat it. You complain I never have anyone here. You lived here six months. You got the nerve to come here, knock on my door and ruin the fun? Beat it. I was so aggravated, dude. You know, my sister probably was like, man, Stephen can't even have company. Never have people over this happened. Annoying neighbors. Can't even play hide and seek. Rich can't do anything. As the great George Lopez once said. Could never do it. Nothing. Can't do it. That's my story. But it leads into actually something worse. And that's dan byers story.

[Dan Beyer]

DB's got a tail, guys.

[Steve Cavino]

So about a month ago, a little more than a month ago, I was kind of dozing off on the couch at around 10:30 on a Thursday night. And my phone is going off and it's my wife upstairs who's in bed. Next to her is our little boy who's sleeping. He's got preschool in the morning zonked out. And she goes, dan, come up.

[Dan Beyer]

I queued up Levin's blinds.

[Steve Cavino]

Not exactly. She goes, can you check what's going on outside? The ring keeps going off. And so I'm kind of like, wake up, whatever. And I can hear neighbor kids are playing basketball outside at 10:30 at night.

[Rich Davis]

On a Thursday that bounces loud on a silent cul de sac. Don't you live in a cul de sac?

[Steve Cavino]

Yes. And it is. And we are. We are like in the. If it was a clock, we'd be at 5:00.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Steve Cavino]

If you're looking at the. In the street, would be noon, like coming to it. But that's where we would be. And that's where the hoop is. Hoop is at 4 o'clock. So any missed shot runs onto our yard. The ball runs up. People are setting off the ring. I would imagine that the neighbors at 9 o'clock probably hear it, but they're not getting the basketball. So I went out there and said, guys, what are you doing? And it was our neighbor kid and his friend. His friend kind of popped off a little, and I thought it was nothing.

[Dan Beyer]

Guys, Dan Beyer, Foxwoods Radio.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey. Hello.

[Steve Cavino]

Come on, guys.

[Dan Beyer]

Sports guy. I love sports. Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

What are we doing here?

[Rich Davis]

It's me, Dan.

[Steve Cavino]

Kid goes, what? We can't play basketball. Yeah. So then I'm like, all right, I don't even know who you are, kid. So I'm gonna talk to the kid that I know in those Crocs.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think you can.

[Dan Beyer]

So you wanted to Bart Simpson. This kid's so bad.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, the kid that was playing with is a great kid. Love him to death, but just said, come on, guys, let's be a little smarter. Fast forward to this past Saturday night. Next door to us is the same neighbor. And their patio furniture, outdoor patio, is smack dab up against the border wall. And our house is separated by three feet. So when you're sitting there, you're closer to us in the living room than you are to their own house. They'd been smoking cigars. 22 year old, you know, working, still living at home, and had his friends over, no big deal, out smoking their cigars. Yeah, she and I could smell the smoke. So I let it go for a while. But at 11 o'clock, I'm like, all right, I need the windows open. It's kind of cool. I went over there and Covino, I did what that neighbor did. I totally killed their vibe because I said, guys, can we just chill with the cigar smoke?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but that is, like, intrusive, man. When you're chilling, you want to open up the window and you can't.

[Steve Cavino]

Your own home.

[Dan Beyer]

But while these stories are from both perspectives, Camino, your neighbor seems to be a stick in the mud where Dan buyer seems reasonable. 11:00.

[Rich Davis]

DB's original question to me was, what do you think's a reasonable time to tell the neighborhood kids that they can't play basketball anymore because I got a little kid who's trying to go to bed and we live in a cul de sac. I think that's an important part of the story, you know? He goes, what do you think's a reasonable time? I'm like, I don't know. When the street lights come on, I'd say that's a fair time. You said you were giving these kids.

[Steve Cavino]

Till 10pm Yeah, I said, I thought 10pm was good. And that leads up to this point, because the next day, the dad came over. Let's talk man to man. And I just posed the question to him. I said, what do you think is a reasonable time to stop playing basketball on a weeknight? And he started to give me the. Well, you know, it's. And I said, no, what time? Because I need us to know if we are on the same page here. He goes, eleven.

[Rich Davis]

Eleven.

[Steve Cavino]

I thought he was out of this. I thought he was on Mars. I had no. Yeah, I thought 11. 11. On a week. If it's summer, on a Saturday, maybe.

[Rich Davis]

Dan, I'm.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm. I'm. Party fun time. Rich Davis. And I am telling you, when did this. You are. You are 100% right.

[Rich Davis]

I said, Saturday night. Friends are over. All right? You make an exception in July.

[Steve Cavino]

Get it? Whatever.

[Rich Davis]

Thursday, weekday kids have school tomorrow, little kids in the neighborhood, a quiet cul de sac. Like, we said, dude, if I were.

[Dan Beyer]

You, I'd go out there, kick the basketball, and say, you're not gonna be LeBron.

[Rich Davis]

Like, it gets sticky icky. Because this is Dan's Neighbor.

[Dan Beyer]

Now, that's Dad.

[Steve Cavino]

I realized why his wife hasn't talked to me really for the last month.

[Rich Davis]

Wow.

[Steve Cavino]

It's because of that. And I kind of always felt that there was something wrong, but that's the point. Now I'm like, am I wrong here? If he's saying 11 o'clock and I'm saying it should be 10, but Iowa Sam, who I felt was. What time did you think, Sam for when to stop?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I'd say don't. On the weekends, don't do anything before 8am like mowing the lawn. And on weekdays, like 9pm After 9pm you're kind of bothering people. Yeah, I look 9 to 10. Nine to 10?

[Dan Beyer]

Ask yourself that. That's fine. I love what you said.

[Rich Davis]

My building curfew is 10pm just for.

[Dan Beyer]

Reference workers in the area. Like, neighbor. Is that of a courtesy? You're not going to have a landscaper or construction person come before a certain time.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

I respect. And you're not going to do that later at night. In fact, I remember Covino got fined by his HOA when he moved in later than 10. They were like, yeah, you're moving. You have moving trucks.

[Rich Davis]

It wasn't his fault, but they ran late. That's really getting things off to a great start with the hoa. Fine for you. Welcome to the neighborhood. But again, it's. It's a common courtesy and it brings up something bigger. It's neighborhood sports rules. And what do you think of Dan Byer story? Because I think he's in a sticky situation now.

[Dan Beyer]

I want to hear everyone's neighborhood neighborhood sports rules. We're going to go to DB for his update, but I think he can almost equate it to when you talk about the late hour. Dan. 10, 9, 11. How late would you feel comfortable? Here's a good question. Calling not a good friend. Like, I'll call Kavino or Spotter, you guys, anytime. But if I were to be like, call a coworker because you had some work question, you wouldn't call our boss or like Kyrus the engineer or someone after what, nine, ten? Even if it.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, I don't. I feel bad sending a text.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Like we have before, but it's only an emergency. Like, I'm like, I have to call Kyrris because there's something going haywire.

[Dan Beyer]

See something pertinent about and I'll hit our boss up 9, 29, 30. That's after 10. I don't know. All right, DB. Let's get an update.

[Steve Cavino]

What's going on guys. News developing in the National Football League NFL on Fox Insider, Jordan Schultz is reporting that trade talks involving Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson are practically dead and the Bengals are now hoping that they can resign Hendrickson to a new long term deal. Remember, Hendrickson did request a trade out of Cincinnati. Vikings quarterback J.J. mcCarthy says he hasn't been told he's the starting quarterback in 2025 when speaking with up and Adams on FanDuel TV. After yesterday's pro day in Miami, the Titans have scheduled a private workout with Cam Ward. That's according to espn, and the Washington Post is saying that the NFL Competition Committee is likely to propose moving the spot of the touchback on kickoffs from the 30 to the 35 yard line in hopes of getting more returns in the new dynamic kickoff. I like that Stanford's fired at football coach Troy Taylor following allegations he bullied female staffers. Drake guard Bennett Sturtz is transferring to Iowa. Head coach Ben McCollum did say today that Sturts is also expected to test NBA waters. New Mexico star Donovan Dent is entering the transfer portal. Josh Pastner, the new head coach at unlv. Steph Curry remains questionable for the warriors against the Heat, and the Mariners gave catcher Cal Raleigh a six year extension worth $105 million. Guys, back to you.

[Dan Beyer]

Thank you DB. Now I want everyone to start thinking of those neighborhood sports rules. What comes to mind for you think to your childhood. Even something as simple. If the ball goes in someone's yard, do you go get it? Would you want some kid in your yard? You know like there's a lot of layers to this.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, what's that? Fair Time to call it a night.

[Dan Beyer]

We'll get to that next right here.

[Rich Davis]

Fox Sports Radio CNR Approximately one in three high profile athletes receive abusive online messages. Nearly 72,000 harmful comments toward athletes were flagged during last year's tournament. Female athletes experienced three times more online threats than male athletes.

[Dan Beyer]

It's time to stop the madness and a powerful stand against online harassment. Better Help, the world's largest online therapy platform, is transforming the conversation around student athletes mental health with its Stop the Madness initiative.

[Rich Davis]

This month, BetterHelp is raising critical awareness about the mental health challenges athletes face while empowering empowering them to seek support without the barrier of stigma. During the duration of the initiative, any student athlete can visit stopthemadness.org, a resource from BetterHelp, to access a free month of therapy. BetterHelp is partnering with this month women's.

[Dan Beyer]

Basketball players such as Kiki Rice Zoe Brooks and Chance Gray to raise awareness about mental health challenges athletes face. They'll be wearing jackets featuring StopTheMadness.org during game arrivals. And they'll write Stop the Madness on their sneakers throughout march to inspire open dialogue about mental health.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm sure you'll see it everywhere. If you haven't already, Stop the Madness again. Student athletes can visit stopthemadness.org a resource from BetterHelp to access a free month of therapy. It's time to stop the madness.

That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of black history, queer history, any history that challenges the whitewashed norm or put us in a box.

[Dan Beyer]

Black people have never ever depended on the so called mainstream to support us.

[Rich Davis]

That's why we are great.

[Dan Beyer]

We are the greatest culture makers in world history.

[Rich Davis]

All right, welcome back to the show. Covino and Rich, bringing our own madness this March.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, they're saying the bracket March Madness, the tournament lacking a little something because there's no Cinderella team. That's usually the vibe, right? Like if you're.

[Rich Davis]

No one's even talking about Cinderella. Everybody's talking about Snow White and how bad it is. Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

Everybody is blaming Nil.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I'm blaming Rachel Ziegler.

[Dan Beyer]

She stinks.

[Rich Davis]

I'm blaming Dale Goodot. So we're live.

[Dan Beyer]

Stinks. More Snow White or the tournament?

[Rich Davis]

Definitely Snow White based on the feedback. It depends who you talk to. I hear it's not that bad. People just piling on it. Anyway, we're live from the Tire Rack.com studio.

Now we're going over rules, neighborhood sports rules here on the show based on Dan Byers controversial story. Dan Byers, a real nice guy, not a confrontational guy to my knowledge. And I think he has every right to be like, you know, my little kid's trying to sleep. You're playing neighborhood basketball in the cul de sac that loud of the. And you know, all the bricks like double dribble. Remember in double dribble dribble when you would hit the brick.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm hearing all the sound effects in Dan's house.

[Rich Davis]

You're hearing this throughout the night. The kids trying to sleep. Dan said, look, it's a Thursday night and it's after 10pm I think he has ever every reason to say, all right, maybe like you, you stop it like at a reasonable time. What are the rules here, guys? Am I leaving anything out, D.B.

[Steve Cavino]

No. And I think that the combination of Saturday's cigar disruption combined with the month led up to the conversation that happened on Sunday.

[Rich Davis]

How heated did it get, by the way? Between.

[Steve Cavino]

Not at all very cordial, just awkward. But he was also giving us a forewarning that hey, there could be more of this in the summer because they have a bunch of teenage kids, and so it's.

[Dan Beyer]

You know what you should have done? You should have took the cigar and put it off on his head.

[Rich Davis]

You don't cross a mob.

[Steve Cavino]

I love the kids, and they've been out there smoking cigars for a while.

[Rich Davis]

Just courtesy, though, you know, neighborhood courtesy.

[Steve Cavino]

But I think the basketball one's the one that we can relate to the most. Right? I mean, like, how late can you be outside? How late should you be outside?

[Rich Davis]

I got one for you. If you live in a neighborhood where someone has that neighborhood basketball net, right. The adjustable rim right there, and they're not around, can you play in their driveway?

[Steve Cavino]

That's a good question.

[Dan Beyer]

We had a role. My. My buddy Paul growing up, he had the basketball hoop on the garage. You know how, like, a lot of people have it on the garage mounted.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

If he was on vacation or his family was out of town or whatever. We played with the rule of if you broke a window, which had happened, you got to fess up. Like, there's no. Like. Like, they can't come home and be like, there's a broken window or something happened. So one time we did break a window, and he came back from vacation, and we were like, we'll pay for it.

[Rich Davis]

And then all these neighbors, like, who are these kids in the driveway? Right? So that gets awkward, too. So what are the rules? Because they do change. From when you were a kid to now you're the homeowner, Rich. You don't have the patience. You probably should.

[Dan Beyer]

Dude, when I was a kid, I would cut through everyone's yard playing hide and seek. Manhunt.

[Rich Davis]

You would.

[Dan Beyer]

And then, you know, your wiffle ball would go into someone's yard. You'd climb their fence.

[Rich Davis]

What? I'm just getting my ball.

[Dan Beyer]

You'd step in their flower bed. If some kid went near my roses or lantanas, I would slap them.

[Steve Cavino]

I agree. I feel so bad for my neighbors of 40 years ago.

[Dan Beyer]

Me too.

[Steve Cavino]

Like, I wanted to send them a I'm sorry note, but I'm gonna send.

[Dan Beyer]

All my old neighbors. They're probably dead now, but edible Arrangements.

[Rich Davis]

Well, that's why you're. You're. You're understanding in this case, Dan, because it wasn't that long ago you were that kid. Like, there's an understanding we all have. They're just trying to play some basketball and live their teenage years.

[Dan Beyer]

I remember.

[Rich Davis]

But you got to do it respectfully.

[Dan Beyer]

I rem playing tackle football. On my neighbor's lawn and then would get mad when he would say, kids, don't go on my lawn. Imagine if random kids started playing on your lawn now. You'd again, you'd slap him.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

This is Nikki Glaser from the Nikki Glaser Podcast. Have you guys seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate?
