1. Introduction and Neighborhood Etiquette Discussion

The episode kicks off with Covino and Rich delving into an engaging discussion about neighborhood dynamics, specifically focusing on the frustrations of dealing with a neighbor’s dog that repeatedly urinates on Rich’s manicured lawn.

• Rich ([04:09]) expresses his annoyance:

  “While she's chopping it up at me, I will occasionally see this dog go to the bathroom on my perfectly manicured grass.”

• Covino ([04:54]) introduces the concept of karma:

  “I do. But I call that karma. Because you were also the dog when you used to walk your dog.”

The conversation explores various perspectives on handling such issues, emphasizing respect among neighbors and responsible pet ownership.

• Iowa Sam ([07:02]):

  “That's a buffalo.”

• Covino ([14:45]) suggests a solution:

  “Lean into the fact that you have a dog and you don't allow your dog to do this. And your kids play on that lawn so respectfully. And I love dogs. Here's a treat. I love the dog. But stay off my lawn, please.”

The segment is both humorous and relatable, highlighting common neighborhood disputes and offering practical advice on resolving them amicably.

2. Listener Engagement: Sharing Personal Stories

The hosts encourage listener participation by addressing a listener named Bruno from Brooklyn, who shares his own experiences with neighbors’ dogs damaging lawns.

• Bruno ([18:20]):

  “He doesn't go on anybody's lawn because if they look out the window, they assume he's peeing.”

• Covino ([20:02]):

  “I really thought about this. I think your best approach is two things, Rich... We all agree it's annoying. So how do you handle it?”

This interactive segment not only reinforces the initial discussion but also builds a sense of community among listeners by sharing diverse viewpoints.

Transitioning to the main sports topic, Covino and Rich dive into the intricacies of the 2025 NFL Draft, focusing on potential trades and player selections, particularly centering around the highly anticipated quarterback prospect, Jaxson Dart.

  “What's Jackson Dart going to end up?”

• Covino ([25:31]):

The hosts discuss rumors and predictions, including possible moves by the Giants and other teams eyeing Jaxson Dart, highlighting the strategic maneuvers teams might employ to secure top talent.

  “He put on social media a screenshot of Jackson Dart and then made his account private.”

4. Impact of Social Media on Draft Decisions

The influence of social media on draft decisions is examined, with hosts noting how parents and fans are vocal about their preferred picks, potentially swaying team decisions.

• Covino ([32:20]):

  “It's like realistic. Think of yourself when you were that age and you were collecting your baseball cards, you knew everything about everybody, so why not trust these kids?”

• Rich ([33:04]):

  “I think it's possible we shall see. In fact, we'll see more about the draft of what's going on with Moncy.”

This highlights the growing role of digital platforms in shaping sports narratives and decisions.

5. Sports News and Updates

Beyond the NFL Draft, the hosts provide updates on various sports events, including the NBA playoffs and notable incidents involving athletes.

These segments are concise and informative, ensuring they complement rather than disrupt the main content.

8. Conclusion and Upcoming Segments

As the episode winds down, the hosts tease upcoming topics and encourage continued listener engagement.

What's mom's counters look like? Because you know, they're getting new ones.

[Covino]

Yeah. I'm there to be nosy and give you the breakdown on that. I'm Kavino. That is rich. And we be rocking out. Let's go.

[Rich]

Insider Jay Glazer, former Jets GM Joe Douglas, college football hall of Famer Lavar Arrington, and Fox Sports lead college football reporter Jimmy Jenny Taft will have you covered for all 32 picks with predictions and reactions.

[Rich]

8Pm Eastern. Five out here on the west side. First round, every pick, lots of fun and a video simulcast on the fox Sports Radio YouTube page. Thank you to our good friends at Ship Station. All right, hey, before we get into, I mean, listen, you know how when everyone's talking about the same thing, it's almost fun to be like, all right, time out from that. We're going to talk about the draft. But everyone else is talking about the draft. You want to be just another knucklehead speculating for the next two hours?

[Monsi]

Wait a second, wait a second. You two aren't going to give me your personal top 10 mocks?

[Covino]

Might, if we have enough time. But we only have two hours.

[Rich]

If I give you a mock draft, I want you to punch me in the nose.

[Covino]

So we are, of course we're going to talk about the draft, but yeah, we're that break in the action that a little bit of relief.

[Rich]

I have a random draft question and a neighbor question. Okay, a neighborly question and a draft question. What do you want first? I'll break it up. What do you want?

[Covino]

The neighbor question first.

[Rich]

Perfect. I got an issue with one of my neighbors and I want to know how you guys would handle this. Ooh, a nice middle aged woman, older than us, but not quite our parents. Age maybe like 50, 60 year old woman walks her big ass dog around the block every day. She's very nice. Hey, how are you? But while she's saying hi to me, her big ass golden retriever is rolling around my front lawn. And while she's chopping it up at me, I will occasionally see this dog go to the bathroom on my perfectly manicured grass.

[Monsi]

Oh, that means he likes you.

[Rich]

And you know how I care about my roses, my lantanas, my flowers, my, my lawn. I have a landscaper. I do extra stuff myself. You don't think it's rude for her to let her dog just whiz on my lawn?

[Covino]

I do. But I call that karma. Because you were also the dog when you used to Walk your dog. I know you retired from doing that 10 years ago, but when you actually cared and walked your dog, you used to throw his poop bags in other people's garbage cans, and I used to tell you not to do that.

[Rich]

That's a garbage can.

[Iowa Sam]

Wait a second. Is it empty or full?

[Covino]

He would throw the bags in someone's garbage cans regardless. And as a former homeowner myself, it would get smushed on the bottom of the can. I would hate that. Especially when it was someone else's dog.

[Rich]

It's a garbage can.

[Danny G]

Yeah, but in the home? Or is it out on the street?

[Rich]

On the street.

[Danny G]

I've done that.

[Covino]

Guess what happens, Monsi? Even if it's out on the street and you're throwing it in someone else's can.

[Danny G]

No, but I wouldn't throw it if it's on the street. If it's on the street, it means it's gonna be picked up.

[Covino]

But you know where it sits for the rest of the week? In that guy's driveway.

[Danny G]

No, no. I feel like I'm ready to be picked up. It's ready to be picked up.

[Covino]

If there's trash in it already, Fine.

[Iowa Sam]

Yes.

[Rich]

If it's ready to be picked up.

[Covino]

With trash all the time, you should.

[Iowa Sam]

Not throw it in empty ones, because then it goes and smells.

[Rich]

Exactly.

[Iowa Sam]

But you know those trash cans, you don't even own them. They're owned by the city.

[Covino]

Right.

[Iowa Sam]

So it's actually public property. So it's a public garbage can if it's out on the street.

[Covino]

Yeah, but you want to roll that back into your dryer with all the supplies around it.

[Iowa Sam]

No, no. If it's full, it's about to be picked up, then it's fair game.

[Covino]

Well, not to distract you from the question, but I did say it's karma, because you were that guy.

[Rich]

I was like you. You're totally off tangent.

[Covino]

Second, I do think it's wrong.

[Monsi]

I just learned way too much about trash cans.

[Covino]

Absolutely wrong that she's doing this especially in front of you. It's like. It's like the dog's owning you. He's marking his territories like he's my house, my lawn. I don't care about you.

[Danny G]

Now, this is on your lawn and not on, like, the little patch on the sidewalk.

[Rich]

Thank you for saying that, Monsi, because you've been to my house.

[Danny G]

Yes, exactly.

[Rich]

The in between the sidewalk and the street. Whatever that little hat do you do is called. That's fair game. I get it. I understand. While I do keep that nice. I understand that that's sort of the tree belt.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Sort of common ground.

[Iowa Sam]

It's a buffalo.

[Rich]

Yeah, yeah, but I'm talking like, my lawn.

[Danny G]

Oh, like on your lawn. Like, if you had a fence, she wouldn't be able to access this.

[Rich]

Right on. Oh, yeah.

[Danny G]

No, that's a problem.

[Covino]

Anyone's wondering, I'm sure, Iowa Sam is wondering. That little common area, that little path, is called a parkway or tree lawn. Some people call it a road verge, the nature strip, the curb strip, or the park strip.

[Rich]

Didn't you date a girl once with a nature strip?

[Danny G]

Oh, my God, Yeah.

[Covino]

But only for a little while.

[Rich]

No, in front of her house. I'm saying I just couldn't get past. Was a big thing in the 90s.

[Iowa Sam]

I have a question. Can you predict when the dog is going to go number one?

[Rich]

You can't, Sam.

[Iowa Sam]

But what's she supposed to do?

[Rich]

I don't know. Be like, hey, Fluffy, get off the neighbor's lawn.

[Iowa Sam]

But, like, is the dog going to listen to English or is it going.

[Rich]

If you pull the dog away?

[Covino]

Sam brings up a good point. Because that's why it's a tough question. That's why you're posing it to the Fox Sports Radio Nation. What are you supposed to do? The dog's outside.

[Iowa Sam]

That's what dogs do.

[Covino]

He's doing what dogs do. It's like getting mad at a dog for barking. Hey, that's what dogs do. He's a dog.

[Rich]

Do you remember that episode of Was it Billions where Paul Giamatti made the guy pick it up with his hand? Yes.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Power move. Because people, I get it.

[Iowa Sam]

Pick up Deuce. But I'm saying, yes, you should do that.

[Rich]

But if the dog goes to the bathroom on someone else's lawn, that's like disrespectful.

[Danny G]

She picked it up, right?

[Rich]

Yeah. Number two, I don't have a problem with that. I'm saying I think people are cavalier that they think a number one on the lawn is okay. Like, I'm talking to her like, hey, how you been? Neighborhood, Your dog. Don't you see that I keep the lawn nice? You pay 150 bucks a month for a landscaper not to have Wiggles the neighbor dog ruin it. Now we have little yellow patches.

[Covino]

We all agree it's annoying, right? So how do you handle it? That's really the question.

[Danny G]

We need to get you a sign that says, please don't let your dog.

[Rich]

I'm glad you said that.

[Iowa Sam]

You don't be like every other Angelino in the city and have a little sign.

[Rich]

When people say, curb your dog, it does. You know what, Kirby? On the curb, not my lawn. They don't say lawn your dog on the nature strip.

[Iowa Sam]

Well, what if she's. What if she. Like a. What if she was like, my nature.

[Rich]

Strip is very manicured. Have you seen my house? What? Rich?

[Iowa Sam]

What if she was like, oh, Bluto, Oh, I'm so sorry, Rich. And she pulled the dog away, but the dog still did it.

[Rich]

But then I'm okay, because then I feel like she realized.

[Iowa Sam]

She acknowledged it.

[Rich]

Acknowledged it.

[Covino]

And I think there's a major difference between, like, a common ground, like, apartment complex. Because in LA especially, there's a lot of apartments and condos. Yeah, whatever. The dog goes on the front lawn. Who cares? Someone's home is a little different.

[Rich]

I had a yard.

[Covino]

Especially when you were there looking. It goes to show you the lack of respect not only the dog has for you, but this woman who's like, yeah, I don't care about this guy.

[Rich]

And size of dog makes a difference.

[Covino]

And I'll tell you, you gotta be more threatening.

[Rich]

Bigger dog, bigger mess. That's why I've always had little dogs. I had to actually jokingly say this to a friend, but they got the message. You know our friends Mike and Shannon, You've hung at our house with them. They come over once in a while and I don't mind. They bring their tiny little cute dog, Indy. It's like, it's smaller than your dog, Kavino. It's like maybe five to ten pounds. Like a little. Like a Pocketbook dog.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Sometimes they'll let the dog out when they're hanging at our house, and they'll just open the door. I'm like, to my lawn. I jokingly said, hey, you know, I care a lot about my lawn. I pay a landscaper, and I'm out there.

[Covino]

You have little kids and kids are playing there, rolling around in the grass. That's not cool. Right? That's gotta be kept into consideration, too. So there's a lot of elements here. And by the way, on a side.

[Rich]

Not blame it on the kids.

[Covino]

Your friend Shannon Rich really just gets disrespected by everybody when you think about it, because Shannon has admitted to going in a bathroom in your pool. And she says that everybody does. And we're like, no, not everybody.

[Rich]

She says she hasn't done it since and she feels embarrassed.

[Covino]

Yeah, that's lies. So I think you have every right as a guy with kids. Right. Forget about your Manicured lawn. That's part of it, though. But the fact that you have kids. Hey, I love Wolfie. Your dog here, I think he's great, but I don't want my kids rolling around that I don't let my own dog do that. If you don't mind. But I do give you come out with a treat. Give him a treat. Show him you care without being a jerk about it. But make your point.

[Rich]

Danny G. You have a pretty cool car. What car do you have, if you don't mind sharing?

[Monsi]

It's a Dodge Challenger.

[Rich]

Danny G's got a sports car and Danny G's got it. It's so pristine and clean all the time. I see your classy, tiny little raider sticker to represent. What if you just got done detailing that bad boy?

[Covino]

Is there such thing as a classy raider sticker?

[Monsi]

Yeah, there is, actually. You know why? Because the. What do they call it? That color accent Color is red.

[Rich]

It's a tiny.

[Monsi]

So it's a tiny red raider sticker.

[Rich]

It's a tiny decal. So it's as classy as you could get for. As a sticker or decal. I'm giving Danny props.

[Covino]

Nah, Danny's car's sweet.

[Rich]

Imagine Danny. Yeah, you take pride in your car. In fact, Danny drives up to, like, the 12th floor of our parking garage just so no one, like, bumps it or.

[Monsi]

Exactly. You need Mako. I don't want to have to call Mako yet.

[Danny G]

So I get that respect.

[Rich]

So, Danny, imagine you get done detailing your car, right? You got someone come over the house. You do it yourself. You're out there, Brenda, take a look. And then some Jo walks by with a leaf blower and starts getting all dust over your car. Wouldn't that be the same level of disrespect?

[Monsi]

I would pull the leaf blower out of their hands and style their hair for them.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, that's a person. They have consciousness. They have awareness. A dog, you can't predict what they're going to do.

[Danny G]

Well, I think the thing is, like, if you're walking your dog and there's a nice open home with a yard, maybe, like, no, no, no, Fluffy, don't go there. Come over here.

[Iowa Sam]

Like, yeah, that's just putting on a show for the owners. Like, I do the same thing if I'm walking the dog.

[Rich]

You have a dog?

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, I have a dog.

[Covino]

Oh, you just did yo yo tricks.

[Rich]

When you said you walked the dog. My bad.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah.

[Monsi]

You have full custody of the dog.

[Iowa Sam]

No, no, he's my rent a Doggy.

[Monsi]

Okay. That's a whole.

[Rich]

So.

[Danny G]

Yes.

[Monsi]

That's a whole story.

[Danny G]

Sam is telling us that he just lets his dog go on everyone's life.

[Rich]

Hold on. This is a better story, I think. Do you share a dog with an ex?

[Iowa Sam]

I do.

[Danny G]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich]

That is embarrassing.

[Covino]

Okay.

[Rich]

And I say that because I've had exes and I've had to say goodbye to dogs.

[Iowa Sam]

If you met this dog, you'd be.

[Rich]

Like, yeah, no, it's called say goodbye, adios, dog.

[Iowa Sam]

No, I'm not doing that. No. In fact, I got to take him up to Santa Barbara for a few days. It was awesome.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Monsi]

See, I respect that.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, it was great.

[Covino]

That's a whole conversation.

[Rich]

I sleep with you, we dated, it didn't work out, but I still see you once while. Because I need to have time with Wiggles.

[Iowa Sam]

I'm almost. I'm a step. I'm a doggy stepdad. Or I'm a doggie. Yeah. I'm a.

[Rich]

What if she likes a new guy more?

[Iowa Sam]

I. To my knowledge, there is no new guy. So until then, I'm still the dog dad.

[Covino]

Right.

[Iowa Sam]

So the dog father.

[Covino]

If you were.

[Rich]

If you were dating someone. I'm sorry, hold on. If you're dating someone new, imagine you're single, on the scene, and you meet some amazing woman, and you find out that her ex still swings by to hang with the dog. That's not a red flag.

[Danny G]

But I don't think they're hanging out. It's. It's not.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah. I just walk him and I take him. I take him on little trips, and I walk. And she appreciates that because she. She has to. Like, there's times where she doesn't want to walk him or she can't.

[Rich]

But she doesn't appreciate you to date you still.

[Iowa Sam]

Well, I'm the one who broke it off.

[Rich]

Oh.

[Iowa Sam]

So I still want a relationship with.

[Danny G]

A lot layers here.

[Iowa Sam]

The dog.

[Covino]

And when you had it since you. It was a puppy. Right. So, yeah, she.

[Iowa Sam]

She adopted the dog a month before she met me, so.

[Rich]

You know, I admire your love. Just in reality, that thought.

[Iowa Sam]

No, no, no.

[Covino]

It's.

[Iowa Sam]

Dad let me know.

[Covino]

He really. That's the truth.

[Iowa Sam]

His tail wags and he. His eyes brighten up and he comes. He's very excited when I. Because when I show up, it means a walk. But anyway, if I see the homeowner, like, standing out there, I'll be like, no, peak. His name's peak. P E, A K. Like a mountain peak. I'll pull him away and Be like, no, no, don't do that. But it's really just for show. It's just to be respectful. Because, like, if there's, like. If it's a nice white fence or like a post, a column that's like, for a. I don't want the dog. Wee on that. I'm gonna pull that away. I'll do that anytime.

[Covino]

I really thought about this. I think your best approach is two things, Rich, because it is annoying. We all agree you take a lot of pride in your lawn and his rose garden. You should see this guy, Dr. Brown Thumb, they call him. I'm sorry, green thumb and Dr. Brown thumb.

[Iowa Sam]

Are you thinking of Guns N Roses, Mr. Brownstone?

[Rich]

No, he's thinking of Brown Thumbs.

[Covino]

Nope. I think your best approach is to lean into the fact that you have a dog and you don't allow your dog to do this. And your kids play on that lawn so respectfully. And I love dogs. Here's a treat. I love the dog. Hey, this dog's great. But stay off my lawn, please. And you know what? Monsieur's also right. A subtle little sign there for a minute.

[Iowa Sam]

People don't pay attention to those signs.

[Covino]

Yeah. But it sends the message that I've had enough. You know, what's it. What's a $3 sign from Ace? Or have your kids draw one. Yeah, we play on this lawn.

[Rich]

We play here.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

We can all agree, though, people leave the poo behind are the real.

[Rich]

They're. That's.

[Iowa Sam]

That's because. That's just being lazy.

[Rich]

They're garbagio. And I was saying I admire your love for your pets. I hope you don't think I came down. No, it's okay.

[Iowa Sam]

I'll just explain that we both live very close to each other and. And, like, why would. I can't say goodbye to him. He's ten and a half now, and I. And so he's not going to be around in the service.

[Rich]

Did you also leave your CDs at her house just in case you did?

[Iowa Sam]

No, no. It's. No, it's a. We have a good relationship with the dog, so it works out cordial.

[Covino]

It's a whole other conversation. But I often have that conversation with my girlfriend. Like, God forbid, it didn't work out. She's like, you wouldn't want to see Theo. I was like, I would, but I won't. I don't need to. She's like, he thinks that you're his dad.

[Rich]

Well, dad died.

[Covino]

I would want you to him. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't really need to see you in that case. Just for the dog.

[Rich]

Yeah, I have a buddy, so it's.

[Covino]

A whole, like, it's a whole debate. That's a totally different conversation.

[Rich]

One of my best buds out here in la and. And I say this respectfully while at the same time mocking him. One of my best buds I play softball with went through a divorce. He has two dogs and he cares way too much about. They're with his ex wife. And he still, like, stops by his ex wife to get the dogs. I'm like, man, you're never really going to move on if you're hanging at your ex wife's place with the dogs.

[Covino]

People love their dog a lot more than you do. That's really the story here.

[Rich]

I think so.

[Covino]

But how do you handle it? We'll wrap it with your phone calls at 877-99-FOX. Because we all agree it's a bit disrespectful. It's his lawn. It's his home. That's different than, I don't know, some random wall in the neighborhood.

[Rich]

I go out there every day after work. I go out there and I throw some Wiffle balls to my kids, water the lawn. Do you think I want, you know. Come on.

[Iowa Sam]

Wait, can I. Can I add one more thing? If you're irrigating your lawn or watering your lawn, can you just kind of rinse off all the. Whatever I was saying are 5 and.

[Rich]

7, they roll around. Do you think I want them rolling around and the neighbor's dogs pee because the dog can. Like, the owner stinks.

[Iowa Sam]

The dog isn't letting. Or the owner's not letting the dog go off leash and go right up on the main part of the yard.

[Covino]

It's a lack of awareness from the owners. She thinks her dog is great, so it's fine. It's like the owners that let their dog jump all over you and it's like, can you.

[Iowa Sam]

No, I understand. I.

[Covino]

Get them off me, please.

[Iowa Sam]

If I was that woman and I. And then the dog started going number one in front of you and you're like, all, like, talking to each other. I'd be like, oh, I'm so sorry. You know, like, I'd apologize.

[Rich]

I'm going to put up a fake sign that says deadly chemicals on this lawn.

[Covino]

Hey, it's not a bad idea.

[Iowa Sam]

People do that.

[Danny G]

Not for men, for dogs.

[Rich]

All right, no deadly chemicals. Dogs will die.

[Danny G]

Great. And then they're going to be like, your kids aren't suffering from These deadly chemicals.

[Rich]

You have a dog, too. I take my chances.

[Iowa Sam]

You have a dog. Where does your dog go?

[Rich]

My dog goes in the backyard.

[Iowa Sam]

All right.

[Rich]

I don't want it. My dog on the grass. All right, let's go to Bruno in Brooklyn, and then I have a draft question. So let's say, what's up To Bruno in Brooklyn. What's up, Bruno?

[Bruno]

Cnr, boys. Great conversation or great topic. Listen, I'm out walking my dog right now. He's a beast. He's £90. His name's Roscoe. I'm on the street. When we walk, I'm on a leash. He doesn't go on anybody's lawn because if they look out the window, they assume he's peeing. Now, there's people in the neighborhood. A few of them, their lawns look like cow pastures. I've got a really nice lawn. Spend a lot of money on, to your point, and not only do they pay, it burns the lawn. It actually will leave a spot, kill the grass. The guy, I said one day, my wife said the guy was going, right? The dog was going on a lawn. My wife said, are you kidding me? And the guy looked at me and he goes, what's the big deal? And I said to him, hey, man, you know, here's the big deal. Show a little respect. They do have those little signs you can pick up, like a pet car or whatever. Just be respectful, you know, don't let your dog go on a lawn. But people think because they love their dogs that it's okay to do their business on your lawn.

[Rich]

You know why? Because you know what, Bruno? You're right. Because some people are trash bags. They assume other people are trash bags. You don't care about your lawn, and you look like you live in the, you know, the middle. Oh, God, this aggravates me so much. Look, right in your neighborhood, you know who doesn't care? The person with the burnt lawn that hasn't, you know, cut the grass in a month.

[Covino]

I have so many thoughts about all this stuff with the dogs. Even yesterday. Write this down for another day. Danny gave as the super producer. There's a lot of homeless here. Or unhoused. What do you call it now?

[Rich]

Yep, hobos.

[Covino]

A lot of homeless here in Los Angeles. My heart goes out to him. Right? But you know what? I feel really bad for the poor, loyal animals to have to stand by their side. God.

[Rich]

Well, they. They just. That's just bad luck, hobo. Imagine being a dog that you got of all the pickings.

[Covino]

All of It. All of it breaks my heart, but I feel especially bad for that dog.

[Rich]

God, there are times like, man, I.

[Danny G]

Actually think the ex. Exact opposite. I bet you those homeless people are better dog owners than some people who have a dog in a home because that's all they have.

[Covino]

No way.

[Rich]

All their no way.

[Iowa Sam]

Dog gets a lot of exercise walking around.

[Covino]

Better than a dog being in a kennel somewhere or being adopted hours and hours a day. No, I'll say it's better to have an owner than be, like I said, waiting to be adopted. But to be subjected to this guy's life because of his bad choices or whatever he's going through. A dog has to sit there all day.

[Iowa Sam]

He might forget to feed him for a couple days.

[Covino]

Oh, I hate it because he's on drugs.

[Rich]

I've heard dog.

[Covino]

Dogs are.

[Rich]

I don't want to sit outside Ralph's all day.

[Covino]

I've heard dogs say that.

[Rich]

I've heard dogs say that. Save me.

[Covino]

I walk by with my dog, you know, I say I'm going home, and they want to come with me.

[Iowa Sam]

Hey, by the way, Covino, I know.

[Covino]

It sounds heartless, but I'm telling you, I feel bad.

[Iowa Sam]

I don't want to. I don't want to undo the velvet rope and pull the curtain back too much, but is your dog a celebrity now?

[Covino]

My dog is a celebrity. And if you want to see why, check my IG story.

[Rich]

Covino's dog is booking commercials. Yeah.

[Danny G]

Nice.

[Covino]

Steve Covcovino. So, anyway, Rich, you're in the right, buddy. I hate to agree with you. I'd love to disagree with you, in fact, but you're in the right. Use your kids as fuel here to. To put out the fire and explain that your dog doesn't even do this. You gotta. You gotta speak up, though. Well, if you don't speak up, they're gonna keep doing it.

[Rich]

Thank you, everyone, for hearing me out. I just wanted a little break from the NFL draft because you look at every tv, every podcast, every radio show today. NFL draft, NFL draft. I just needed a breather. You know, when you're at a party, you need to step outside just so the noise settles down. Yeah, that's what I needed from the NFL draft, but I.

[Covino]

It's not the dog's fault. It's like Mr. Miyagi said, no such thing as a bad dog. Just bad owners.

[Rich]

Bad owners. All right, well, hey, there is a draft question, and an unconventional one, and it has to do with using the draft as motivation, and it involves kids. I'll Explain next. More Cavino and Rich right here. Fox Sports Radio Draft Night NFL let's go now.

[Rich]

Now I have a question about the Draft tonight and it's not who's going to take Shador Sanders. Where's Jackson Dart going to end up.

[Covino]

If is there going to be any.

[Rich]

Crazy trade Giants both from to the Giants. That's the speculation Giants that everyone else is talking about. Here's my question. I'm going to miss the beginning of the draft. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm be like, oh, I'm going to be locked in. I'm a coach. My kids got baseball practice.

[Covino]

All right. Coach Gottlieb.

[Rich]

No, I'm the winning coach on Fox Sports Radio. I'm kidding.

[Covino]

I'm telling him he said that man.

[Rich]

He knows.

[Monsi]

No, I'm telling him shots fired.

[Covino]

Yeah, come on. Rich thinks because he's got a cheesy smile he'd say what he wants until Doug comes here and punches him in the nose. I'm telling him. I'm tweeting them right now.

[Rich]

Please do. My 5 year olds are undefeated. So I coach T ball here in la. A bunch of five year old little.

[Covino]

Knuckleheads that respectable man, you're making a difference in these kids lives.

[Rich]

Pick grass and draw in the dirt and spin around and act like little jacking.

[Covino]

And he's sitting there chewing on their gloves.

[Rich]

Chewing on the strings of their gloves.

[Covino]

Why those gloves taste so good.

[Rich]

I would always chew on the little leather strip too. I know. Here's the question.

[Monsi]

I think it's the oil we rubbed on them.

[Rich]

Baseball practice starts right around the time the NFL draft starts. So do I tell all the kids, yo, kids, gather around Coach Rich and show them the first pick of the NFL draft. On my phone as like a, almost like a, a core memory. Like hey, you guys work really hard. This is what professional athletes get to.

[Covino]

You can because they care about what you say as coach as a voice of authority. And they might look back and remember and you might have impact in the sense that they feel like, well this is important looking back. But I don't think they're going to care one bit. That's just my.

[Monsi]

If Cam Ward Covino turns into a superstar, it'll definitely be a core.

[Covino]

They're five years old, dude.

[Rich]

I still remember.

[Monsi]

I remember the NFL when I was 5.

[Rich]

If Cam Ward ends up being a star stars. And I say, hey kids, stars, gather round.

[Covino]

I don't think there's any harmony.

[Rich]

The first pick, the Tennessee Titans choose Cam Ward.

[Monsi]

Cameron is what he says. Goodell's going to say Cameron Ward.

[Rich]

Do you think the kids will be like oh, cool moment Coach Rich or.

[Covino]

Not at all in retrospect, to look back and you'll have some. You know, how you view the things your dad preached to you or your coach preached to you to look back and it might be an impactful moment like Danny G. Insinuated, but I don't think they're going to care much right now.

[Rich]

They're aware enough to know star players because I bought my son some more baseball cards. And I go, who's on the COVID buddy? He goes, judge. That's Steve's favorite, so he knows Aaron Judge. And I go, benny, Benny boy, who's your favorite? Ohtani and Lindor. So you know, these boys know the star players and they're getting to know it. So I think it might be a cool coach moment for me to be like, hey, boys, before practice, get over here, take a knee.

[Covino]

What if you have some softy la mom or dad who's like, I don't like you exposing my son to what? Football?

[Rich]

To tackle football? The rough housing of the NFL.

[Iowa Sam]

What's next, marijuana cigarettes?

[Covino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rich]

Why don't you give him candy while we're at it?

[Covino]

If I'm going to introduce my son to violence, you know, I don't want you doing it.

[Monsi]

Swear, if that happened, we all need to move to a new city.

[Rich]

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. I'm out.

[Covino]

Yeah, I know I'm out. But I don't think there's any harm in trying to show them, hey, this is a cool sort of thing.

[Rich]

Well, they play sports.

[Covino]

There's more that we're celebrating it here as adults and as Fox Sports Radio. What do you think about Exposing this to 5 year olds is the question.

[Rich]

They're learning to play sports. We make a living talk. We make a living. We make a living talking about sports. And this is the pinnacle of these young men getting the golden opportunity. So I think it might be a cool moment to share. Likely they won't care at all, but maybe one of them in 10 years will remember. I remember when Cam Ward was drafted, I was with Coach Rich and I.

[Iowa Sam]

Was watching on this tiny little rectangle.

[Covino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rich]

Remember when the. With the old iPhone, before we had holograms everywhere?

[Iowa Sam]

Well, hold on, Rich. So if this is one of your. This is your. How you make a living. This is your job. Can't you just like, cancel practice and be like, this takes precedence.

[Covino]

It doesn't.

[Rich]

Practice for Little League is canceled.

[Iowa Sam]

I need to watch the NFL draft.

[Rich]

You know what's more important to me? Practicing with Those kids. All right, Absolutely fair seeing Cam Ward come up there with his snazzy suit.

[Danny G]

On and record it. Watch it later.

[Iowa Sam]

You could say it's work, though. You could say, hey, I gotta watch it.

[Danny G]

But he could still do it later.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, he can. Yeah. You're not missing. You're not really miss. It's not like you have to watch it and study the game. And it's a draft. It's a bunch of names.

[Rich]

So it's all speculation. It's all.

[Monsi]

But hey, when this turns into a podcast later, I'm labeling it Rich Loves Kids.

[Rich]

Don't label that. But I tell you, it's gonna turn.

[Covino]

Into like a weird Three's Company Sit where people roll up and they're like, what is he showing our kids on their spread about Rich?

[Iowa Sam]

What?

[Covino]

Right.

[Rich]

I do want to follow up something. Just. Just to make it clear. A month ago, I posed the question, remember? I bought the kids Big League Chew. And someone's like, are you sure parents are going to be okay with that? Not one parent complained just for that. Because we said there was two layers. Some kids, some parents might be like, don't get my five year old sugar or gum. No one said anything. And then the other thing is, Big League Chew is sort of based off of tobacco. Tobacco chewing.

[Covino]

Right.

[Iowa Sam]

So it's a gateway gum.

[Rich]

Yeah, they've always said that, Sam. Gateway gum. You do Big League Chew, you might.

[Iowa Sam]

As well be tobacco fiend the rest of your life.

[Rich]

Next week they could be vaping.

[Covino]

You know what? It may have zero impact, but I think you've done your part. So therefore, no harm, no foul. It's an important moment. You're a coach. It's sports related. I think it's. It's. It's fine either way.

[Rich]

All right, cool.

[Covino]

You know what I mean? I just thought kids might not care, but hey, here you go.

[Rich]

Well, I thought about it because I said, well, I would like to. I always like to watch the first pick. And I'm like, I'll be at baseball practice. Hey, what if I show the 5 year olds?

[Covino]

Right?

[Rich]

Yeah, might be fun. All right. Hey, we're gonna talk some NFL drafts.

[Covino]

Let's hope that something cool happens, though. Remember when kids. Remember when we were little and they wheeled the TV in because they wanted us to watch the challenger? Remember that, kids, you gotta watch them.

[Rich]

I hope the draft doesn't explode.

[Covino]

No, but I don't mean like an explosion, but I hope something weird doesn't.

[Rich]

Happen like Roger Goodell pulls down his pants or something that'd make it better.

[Covino]

Then you're incriminated. Then you're the rude guy. Yeah. Then you expose them to that. But I remember that feeling of, hey, kids, we want you guys to watch this because this is an important historical moment. You're gonna remember it for the rest of your life. We're sitting there like, okay, none of us cared about it, but we watched it. You're like, oh, man, this is terrible. So I just hope for your sake that nothing weird happens.

[Rich]

Well, now that you put that. I know.

[Danny G]

Seriously.

[Covino]

Well, I don't mean any death. I just mean anything weird with the first pick.

[Rich]

Roger, I'll never forget when Coach Rich ruined our lives. So I want to bring up one thing before we go to Monty for an update. I would say, do you have Joe Shane and his kid a year ago? A year ago, GM of the Giants. His son had his thoughts on who the Giants should have picked a year ago.

[Iowa Sam]

Who do you want me to take?

[Rich]

Give me a name. J.J. mcCarthy.

[Covino]

Jaden Daniels.

[Rich]

Trade up and get him.

[Covino]

Why not? Okay, if Jaden Daniels.

[Iowa Sam]

You only get this job once.

[Rich]

All right, Jayden Daniels. Carson wants Jayn Dallas.

[Iowa Sam]

If he's not there, who's your second?

[Rich]

Because he's not going to be there. Drake May or Marvin Harrison or Malik Mabry. I mean, you can't mess up.

[Danny G]

I'm just looking at who looks like.

[Rich]

They would be a good quarterback. Jaden Daniels. Look at him.

[Covino]

Jaden Daniels. And he was so right about that. Guy's a bona fide superstar already. And Rich, you know, we talked about that. I remember when that happened. We talked about it. We said, you know, it sounds crazy, but these kids know because they're in that zone. They're in that moment. They're living it and breathing it every day. You know, it's like realistic. Think of yourself when you were that age and you were collecting your baseball cards. You knew everything about everybody, so why not trust these kids? They're really in it.

[Rich]

We are national hosts for Fox Sports. And I could tell you, when was I locked into sports the most?

[Covino]

Right.

[Rich]

Probably when I was like, 12 or 13.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Because now I got kids, I got mortgage, I got other things going on, but when you're a kid, all you care about is playing Little League, collecting cards, watching sports. So.

[Covino]

And. And you're talking about it constantly with your friends. So that's what their life is surrounded by. It's. It's foolish to dismiss them. Well, that's what we discussed last year.

[Rich]

I bring up Joe Shane and his kid because his son Carson has made it very clear who he likes this year.

[Monsi]

He's back.

[Rich]

He put on social media a screenshot of Jackson Dart. So let's see what the Giants do.

[Covino]

And not only is he all about Jackson Dart, it seems like all Giants fans and every Giants fan of my family and my friends, they're all about Jackson Dart too.

[Rich]

And I think it's possible we shall see. In fact, we'll see more about the draft of what's going on with Moncy. Let's get an update. What's going on Balanos.

[Covino]

Hey, Monty.

[Danny G]

So did you see what his son actually did on Instagram? He posted a reel of Jackson Dart and then made his account private. Yeah, and I double checked it last night and I just checked it again. It's still private. But apparently he posted a highlight reel of Jackson Dart.

[Rich]

Imagine he's two for two and his dad whiffs again.

[Danny G]

It's just so good because it's been so quiet and so, you know, something is going to happen. Shador Sanders tweeted today. I'm built for whatever today may bring. Diana Rossini. Her latest tweets have been that teams picking in the top 10 have shared over the last hour that they expect the Jaguars to make a splash tonight. They do have the fifth overall pick. That's one of her latest tweets. She also said that Browns GM Andrew Berry has been actively listening to offers for the second overall pick and many believe that he's willing to move a few spots back. So Diana Rossini, the athletic I'm not.

[Rich]

I'm clearly Monty, I'll you're hearing more than we are. I'm not keeping my ear the way you are, but I, I've heard that don't be surprised if there's a lot of movement, a lot of trades, some surprises and, you know, we still have a couple hours. Does Aaron Rodgers give a hint of anything? Because now there's teams that are just sort of waiting perhaps on what he's doing.

[Danny G]

A little bit of limbo. Yeah. Trying to figure out the first domino to fall and then it's going to cause other things. There was already a trade, but it's fifth and sixth round picks that have been traded between the Texans and the Browns and the belief is that the Texans are trying to move even closer. They have the 25th overall pick, so they're trying to get ammunition to get further. That's. That's what they think. That's what they think. So we'll see. NFL Draft, 8 Eastern. You can catch all the action here on Fox Sports Radio. NBA playoffs also continue. Three game threes. It all starts from Detroit Pistons, knicks. That's at 7 Eastern. That series is tied at 1 apiece. Grizzlies Thunder at 9:30 Eastern. OKC leads that series 20 and it ends in LA. First playoff game at Intuit. Don't let's go. Nuggets take on the Clippers. Another series that is tied at one apiece. Five star prospect and USC commit Elijah Arenas, who is the son of former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, was involved in a serious car crash this morning. His cybertruck crashed into a tree and caught fire. Apparently he didn't suffer any broken bones, but inhaled a lot of smoke and was placed on an induced coma because of it.

[Covino]

Wow.

[Danny G]

Yeah. So this happened before 5am today.

[Rich]

Wishing him well?

[Danny G]

Yes, his cyber truck crashed into a tree. A little baseball going on right now. Brewers are edging the giants in San Francisco 5 4, bottom of the sixth inning. The Mariners already defeated the Red Sox 4 3. The Royals outscored the Rockies 74 in game one of their double header. Game two is already under, but their scoreless bottom of the first inning and the White Sox Twins game was called off after a rain delay with Chicago winning 30 in 7 innings. Back to you guys.

After cnr give you the time capsule.

[Rich]

Topic and we reminisce together.

[Covino]

Yay. So it's NFL draft Thursday. We throw it back. We get you involved. We love reminiscing with you. 87799 on Fox. In honor of the draft process.

[Rich]

Oh, is that why you're wearing your Brett Favre denim shorts?

[Covino]

I am.

[Rich]

You like draft night and your hat and everything.

[Covino]

My sweet Wrangler denim shorts. I wear them only on draft day in honor of Brett Favreau in honor of the draft process. You know, because it is an interviewing process.

[Rich]

It is.

[Covino]

What's your worst job interview ever? Do you have a story?

[Rich]

Ooh, best job interview. You know, I read an article today. This is interesting. It ties into this. Gen Z. What would you call gen Z? Like 20 year olds, right? Like kids fresh out of college. The younger generation. And I sort of admire their transparency. There was a whole article today I read about how they don't even want to take a job interview unless the salary is discussed ahead of time. Like, let's, let's not beat around the bush. I'm not working for fun. This is not something you know.

[Covino]

But that's also why they struggle to find work. Because how do you get your foot in the door? We all worked for free. We all did things we didn't want to do. We all put in overtime. We all were the first there and last to leave. Now, I'm not trying to pick on him. I'm just true. I'm just saying what I find to be true. I see it myself.

[Monsi]

Yeah. By the way, Gen Z is typically considered to be those born between 97 and 2012.

[Covino]

Yeah. So 13 to 28 years old, they're more focused on. And I'm not saying they're wrong for it, but you know, we were just looking for opportunity. They're looking for, well, tell me what I'm getting paid first. And again, I'm not saying they're wrong. I think that might be part of the, part of the problem.

[Rich]

I don't think you didn't listen to this. Can I read the headline to. Yeah. This is. According to Yahoo News, nearly half of Gen Z say they'll refuse a job if the employer doesn't mention the salary up front. Why, why do the interview? Why Go through the rigamarole if I.

[Covino]

Don'T know how much you know, show me what you're worth. Paying you to do a job, sit.

[Rich]

With someone and not know the salary.

[Covino]

It's not about not knowing the salary. It's about when you're leading with that's all you care about. It's like, well, how important is this job to you? And I get it. The salary is important to everybody. But did you lead that way with that sort of arrogance when you were a young man?

[Rich]

But it's changing times, Entitlement. It's changing times, Covino.

[Covino]

But guess who's still paying the bills. Older people. So handle that with a little grace.

[Rich]

Well, hey, it ties into the job interviews because let's be honest, the NFL draft, why are teams picking certain guys? They did well in the sit downs.

[Covino]

Yeah. They had good interviews.

[Rich]

There are players that every team wants because they just looked like a genius for 32 teams. Do you have any bad interview stories or good ones?

[Covino]
