Yes, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

We're going over things that made you go right now. Get into your phone calls at 87799 on Fox. Any observation you made this weekend? It could be a movie you saw. It could be something fight related, basketball related, but mostly football related because that's what we're really getting to the bottom of.

[Adnan Virk]

That's what everyone was really focused on.

[Steve Covino]

Well, not really. You know what I did. And by the way, by the way, this hour giving away Prizes. So stand by playing our favorite game. Last one standing in a few minutes. So stick around. 87799 on Fox. Rich, besides football, you know what I did this weekend?

[Adnan Virk]

I know what you did and I was gonna bring it up later on the show. So if you want to, if you want to bring it up now. You watched a movie with your mom, didn't you? Yeah, I read your mind. I read your mind. And it was. I saw you post this on Instagram and I felt like what you posted related to every human on earth. You watched a movie with your mom and you said, let me explain because.

[Steve Covino]

I have a question.

[Adnan Virk]

Okay, I have a question.

[Steve Covino]

Is it every mom is generational or is it just because my mom's Mexican and that's just how Mexican moms are? Or is it like she's getting old.

[Adnan Virk]

And seen out there? I think this is gringo moms, black moms, white mom, any moms the way what you described. Please tell everyone because this is. I agree.

[Steve Covino]

So my mom, huge wizard of Oz fan, huge. Her favorite movie, made a big deal about it our entire life, right? Our entire childhood. Mom, you gotta watch Wicked because it's streaming now. Put on Wicked. She's lost from the very get go of the movie. Asking a million questions. Who's that? What's that? What's going on? Who's that guy? I don't get it. This song stinks.

[Adnan Virk]

This guy's ugly.

[Justin Penik]

Who's that?

[Steve Covino]

Right?

[Adnan Virk]

Do we know him, Mom? We don't know him yet.

[Steve Covino]

We don't know him yet. Well, how do you know him? Well, you know, deductive reasoning, Mom. She called him dad, so clearly it's his dad, right? You know, so you know, she's asking a million questions. Where's Dorothy? So she's talking the whole time, the whole time in this. Is that Eddie M?

[Adnan Virk]

No, I'm not.

[Steve Covino]

You're pausing it and you're trying to explain, but you're getting frustrated because you want her to like it and you're trying to be patient and she's not following. And then the movie ends. She's like, I hated it. It's like, well, because you didn't stop talking the entire. I don't get it. I can't follow it. Well, because you were talking the entire time.

[Jason Demers]

Wait, that's the end? That's the end of the story.

[Steve Covino]

That's it. Wait, so that's part one.

[Adnan Virk]

What happened?

[Steve Covino]

And they. Ah, dude, it's the most frustrating thing. So you introduce this magical movie that you're hoping your mom can enjoy and she just stomps all. She did the Mexican hat dance all over the movie and hated it.

[Adnan Virk]

You let your mom know that, like the world seemed to love Wicked except her. Yeah, okay, okay.

[Steve Covino]

She did not. She hated everybody in it. Didn't like the songs, didn't get the plot, couldn't wrap her head around this, the prequel. But honestly, bro, I. It was so funny that I couldn't even be like mad or disappointed. But it made me say, hmm, in a sense that is it all moms? Is it generational or is it just my mom?

[Adnan Virk]

I think a lot of moms talk through the movie and they do point out two things. Number one, they talk throughout it and then wonder why they're not following.

[Steve Covino]

Bam.

[Adnan Virk]

And my mom will always be like, who's that? I'm like, I'm sure you'll figure it out. If you don't know the character Mom, I'm going to tell you. Here's how movies and TV shows usually work. Maybe in the next scene it'll dawn on you who that person is based on. I don't know, the conversation, the plot.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, dude, it's possible, you know, and it made me think like just the style of movie, like the. The general. The older generation just needs to be spoon fed on everything that's going on. They just absorb that differently. It's so wild, dude. It's the wildest experience.

[Adnan Virk]

I had a laugh observation for you that all moms are paying the ass watching movies.

[Steve Covino]

They can't sit through it without trying to narrate it and ask a million questions.

[Adnan Virk]

Social media thinks football is rigged, which, like, just so ridiculous to me. I saw a meme that said what makes Swifties even more annoying is that they've never lost a Super Bowl. Like, imagine learning football because you like Taylor Swift and like, oh my God. Or Travis is her guy. That fan has never not seen their team win. Meanwhile, there's so many fan bases that have never even tasted victory.

[Steve Covino]

Any thoughts on what Jonas Knox was talking about in that promo? Because I noticed it. What was Chris Jones crying about?

[Adnan Virk]

That was hilarious.

[Steve Covino]

Do you think it's just so emotional to get there again and you know, just to maybe realize that could be your last run. This could be your last run and you're heading to the Super Bowl.

[Adnan Virk]

I want to see Jonas say that to his face.

[Steve Covino]

No, but did it make you say.

[Adnan Virk]

I want to see Jonas go up to Chris Jones and be like, yo, why are you crying?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, we all noticed it.

[Adnan Virk]

Emotion in sports is the thing you're about to possibly three Pete and you are a key component to that team's defense. In fact, remember the one game like a year ago where they started the season without him and they're like, oh, we need Chris Jones. Get this done. I like the emotion, dude.

[Steve Covino]

And you never know when it hits you, right? Like we don't know what's going on in his life or his head. That, that somehow this struck him emotionally.

[Adnan Virk]

Another layer of this, which is interesting to me. Mahomes is around for quite a bit. He's a 30 year old guy. Not even 30, right? 29.

[Steve Covino]

29, yeah.

[Adnan Virk]

What's the story in your mind on Andy Reid and Travis Kelsey? If they three Pete, do they keep going? Or is there that thought of now we've done it all. Andy Reid could retire. But what if he has a thirst for coaching? Travis Kelsey has $100 million podcast deal. He's with Taylor Swift. If they get engaged, maybe he wants us a family. Like, there's so many layers as to if they win, does a big part of the Chiefs go away? Like, do we almost. Do we root for the Chiefs in lieu of knowing that if they win, then it's sort of oh, my homes.

[Steve Covino]

Is far from done. So he's not rooting for that.

[Adnan Virk]

I know.

[Steve Covino]

I'm just saying, you know, my mom said to that. Oh my God. Speaking of broccoli heads, I bet you Mahomes is the first guy to rock the broccoli head alpaca haircut.

[Adnan Virk]

Very well. Could be.

[Steve Covino]

I said, maybe he is.

[Adnan Virk]

Maybe, maybe. But those are all things that we took away from this weekend. I got, I got two more. Could we all agree that James Cook reaching for the end zone will go down in history as one of the greatest plays that ended up not mattering?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that was dope.

[Adnan Virk]

Remember when ND Chavez of the Mets reached over the wall in game seven of the nlcs and it might have been one of the greatest catches you've ever seen in your life. But the Mets lose. So the catch. When someone does something miraculous in a game where they lose, it's, it's. It goes from wow to man, who cares. And on 4th and goal, the way James Cook battled for that touchdown will go unnoticed forever. No one will ever mention again after today. Our recap of it might be the last you'll ever hear of it. But if they went on to win the super bowl, that would have been part of a montage forever.

[Steve Covino]

I don't want to spoil the fun because we're Trying to get you hyped for the Super Bowl. We're going to be out there in New Orleans interviewing everybody, being at all the events. So it's an exciting time for us. But Rich did point out now that we know who's playing and the super bowl stage is set, you were saying off the air that when you think about Kendrick Lamar, you're just kind of disappointed with the whole thing. And I know that's a polarizing thought. I'm sort of just poking the bear right now because you did say that off the air.

[Adnan Virk]

Oh, no, I listen. I think Kendrick Lamar is the worst choice of super bowl halftime acts in a long time. Not because I won't enjoy Kendrick Lamar. I always we. You're speaking about your mom watching Wicked. I call it the mom test. Your mom knows who Beyonce is, your mom knows who Dr. Dre is, your mom knows who Rihanna is, and your mom knows who Lady Gaga is. And Katie Perry and Maroon 5 and the who and the Rose. Yes, bring the who back. Bring your mom.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Adnan Virk]

But your family knows it. You and people younger will be like, oh, Kendrick Lamar. But you think your mom and dad and your aunt and uncle are gonna be like, oh, yeah, Kendrick Lamar, he's the biggest hip hop artist. But the world of music is more niche than ever before that. You're not hearing a lot of Kendrick Lamar on your kiss fms and serious hits one channels and stuff. So my point is, I think overall the ratings will be huge, but there's a lot of people. This is the lamest sentiment of all. I've seen people on social media say, I'm just not going to watch. Not going to watch. What type of loser do you need to be?

[Steve Covino]

You know what you sound like? You sound like my uncle Tommy who went to bed before New Year's hit.

[Adnan Virk]

That guy. That's my uncle Tommy is the lamest guy. That woman.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I'm going to bed.

[Adnan Virk]

Is the lamest woman the same person that's like, I'm not staying up for midnight. Right? You're not staying up at midnight.

[Steve Covino]

That was always. As a kid growing up, he was always the weakest dude in the family. Because of that. I'm like, wait a second. You mean you're not staying up to watch the new year? Real that you're going to be bed. Going to sleep by yourself is more exciting than like introducing the new year. That's how I feel about you not watching the Super Bowl.

[Adnan Virk]

How did you tune out? 10:48. I'm going to hit the hay. You can't wait an hour and 12 minutes.

[Steve Covino]

You're tuning out on some weird protest because you don't care about the Chiefs, Eagles or Kendrick Lamar. The rest of the world is going to be watching. But there still seems to be that sentiment. I have heard a few people saying, well, I'm not watching. Like, you're not watching.

[Adnan Virk]

And then I'm thinking to myself, how watching.

[Steve Covino]

You're not a fan at all, in my opinion.

[Adnan Virk]

If you told me, oh, I'll watch, but I'll be at a Super bowl party, I'll casually watch and I'll check it out, but I'm not honed In, I could 100% understand that. I could 100%.

[Steve Covino]

That's fair.

[Adnan Virk]

I could 100% reheat the Buffalo chicken dip. Yeah, you don't want to watch it. I would say I could 100% understand someone being like, yeah, I'm not going to be locked in. Maybe I'll be doing a little more chit chat and, you know, eating food in the kitchen and, you know, I'll keep my eye on it. But to say you're going to skip the super bowl, skip the game, halftime, the commercials, everything about what is really a very American holiday, essentially it is like, what are you. Like, what are you trying to prove? What contrarian moronic behavior is that? Oh, I'm not gonna watch. Oh, God. It's like the people that say they're gonna move if their candidate doesn't win. Oh, midnight.

[Steve Covino]

And I've seen a lot of this on social media, but we do have a mutual friend that said it's the first time in their life that they're just not gonna watch. I was like, yeah, what do you. What are you proving with.

[Adnan Virk]

And every other friend on that group chat hit me up individually, being like, what's his deal? Like, what are you doing?

[Steve Covino]

It's a weird stance. It really is.

[Adnan Virk]

So, you know, let's start with Josh in Ohio. Your thoughts? We'll wrap it up. Things that made you go, hmm, I can't imagine it could be a matchup of the. Because this really is the matchup of teams that people may not want to see win. Was you going to watch the Super Bowl? It's a Super Bowl. Come on, what are you doing? And your big observations from the games. What's up, Josh?

[Rich Davis]

Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. I just had. I wanted your opinion on something made me go like, was that James Cook play at the goal line more impressive than Devin Hester's returning the opening kickoff and not winning the Super Bowl.

[Adnan Virk]

I mean, it's. They're such different plays, but they're in the same category of, you know, great moments that really lost.

[Steve Covino]

Kevin Hester wins, though. That was the Super Bowl. That was awesome.

[Adnan Virk]

Yeah, but this was the AFC championship. Fourth in Goalkeema, the state.

[Steve Covino]

But both amounted to nothing, you know, so just memorable. But I think being the super bowl and a kickoff return, I think that was bigger.

[Adnan Virk]

Hold on. Dan Buyer. Not to rub it in, but when the Seahawks lost that terrible super bowl to the Patriots, who made an acrobatic sideline catch that we see. I even forget his name. Who was that?

[Jason Demers]

Jermaine Curse.

[Adnan Virk]

Yeah. Jermaine Curse made what would have been if the. To back up my point, if the Seahawks had repeated that Jermaine Curse catch would have went down in history as like the David Tyree. Like, it would have been magical. Yep.

[Jason Demers]

Correct.

[Adnan Virk]

Magical moments are lost when your team doesn't win. James Cook. Welcome to the world of N.D. chavez. Jermaine Curse. You know, and, and. And such. Let's go to Devin Hester. Yeah, Devin Hester. Noah in Maine. What's up, Noah?

[Rich Davis]

Hey, what's going on, guys?

[Adnan Virk]

Hey, buddy.

[Rich Davis]

The thing that I have two things that made me go off your point. Go back to the Patriots Eagles super bowl from a few years ago. Brady threw for 500 yards, but everybody remembers the game as the backup who beat Brady in the super bowl, like, as great as it was. But the other thing that made me go more recently this weekend is just how predictable play calling from the Bills was. I mean, after that first push push showed that they weren't going to give that play up. So in the fact that McDermott didn't make any changes, Allen balled out of his mind and did not make any changes or adjustments to that, to them loading up on the line on the tush push. It makes you wonder if McDermott deserves to have his job in Buffalo after yesterday.

[Adnan Virk]

Listen, you could argue as a field goal game and it got out coached by Andy Reid. I mean, there's no shame in that, but, you know, you eventually want a different outcome. It's now four times in the postseason with these two similar teams that you're looking at four. No. Oh, and four. There's no, you know, put on your thinking cap for a second. In our lifetime. When I say our lifetime, let's round it. You know, since the 80s, do you remember one team standing in someone else's way that much like this is up there with like MJ stopping teams this is up there with like, you know, until Steve Young won, it seemed like the Cowboys just wouldn't let the Niners get by. And I, as a Niners fan, I remember hating like man, Emmett Smith and Aikman and Irvin. The Niners can't beat this team, you.

[Steve Covino]

Know, I mean, I'll take it to a different sport. Tyson stopped so many people from being champion. He was just that guy. The Klitschkos didn't let anyone be a champion for over 10 years.

[Adnan Virk]

DB, anyone else come to mind?

[Jason Demers]

Well, you know, Nick Wright, first things first, has pointed out that it's the curse of the Bills and the curse of the Pat Mahomes trade that allowed the Chiefs to trade up and draft Mahomes. The deal was done by the Buffalo Bills similar to Scavino knows Curse of the Bambino for how long that took. And obviously now we know that the Red Sox finally broke through. However, the 100 years or whatever it was, the 80 years that had happened.

[Steve Covino]

I mean 1918 to 2004.

[Jason Demers]

Yes, you do the math.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Jason Demers]

And Nick Wright's pointed out that the trade that the Bills made with the Chiefs allowed the Chiefs to draft Patrick Mahomes.

[Adnan Virk]

I saw on social media, you see all these little clips floating around now of like, oh, if this team would have done this or drafted this guy. Have you seen the most beneficial loss of all? It was a couple of years ago. It was a year ago, two years ago now where the jets won and beat the Commanders on a meaningless field goal. Like both teams were not good. Covino and they beat the, the jets had beat Commanders on a meaningless field goal and had that, that field goal which it was like a 50 plus yard field goal that just made it. If that's different. The Commanders go from two to I think five or six in that draft and they're saying no Jaden Daniels. So the jets, who can never help themselves, help the Commanders move up enough to get Jaden Daniels. So all these little things are, you know, it's all butterfly effect at the end of the day.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Rich, can I call you on one more thing you said in our pre show meeting?

[Adnan Virk]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Just to have you explain yourself, please. I wrote it down because I'm like, ooh, ooh. You said I don't care. This is the weakest super bowl ever. I'm sorry, I'm losing my voice. What are you doing? Super bowl ever.

[Adnan Virk]

Well, weakest in that ever.

[Steve Covino]

That's what he said.

[Adnan Virk]

Let me explain in the next breath.

[Steve Covino]

We're trying to find reasons to Be excited. But deep down, there's a part of him that feels that way.

[Adnan Virk]

Weakest super bowl for the casual fan. Let me, let me make it clear. I'm not taking, I'm not taking back what I said.

[Steve Covino]

No, it doesn't, it doesn't contradict what you said. We're trying to find the best reasons to be excited.

[Adnan Virk]

This could be, you know, either Saquon Barkley going down as one of the best trades of all time, best acquisitions and, you know, them hosting Lombardi, or history being made with Mahomes. So to say it's the worst, it's not the worst from that standpoint, from a football standpoint, you got a great game. When I said the worst, I meant the worst from that. There's no real, like, feel good root for this guy. Like, if the Lions or Bills are in it, that's a feel good story. If you know Brock Purdy, rookie going against Mahomes, that's a story. You know, the Rams, they got Stafford, they could, they do it. There's always a story. Joe Burrow, I find there to be no real, you know, there's no heart Tugger. It's really, are we, are we rooting for dominance or rooting for an unlikable fan base to be happy because we like Saquon Barkley?

[Jason Demers]

It reminds me a little bit of Super Bowl 53. Not exact parallels, but when it was the Patriots and Rams, we were sick of the Patriots, who's their third in a row.

[Adnan Virk]

Yeah.

[Jason Demers]

And the Rams didn't have anything that were really make you grab onto them. Plus they were new to LA and, and the difference is, is that LA's fan base was still trying to, I guess, get adjusted to the Rams being back in LA and maybe wasn't as big as it was and obviously isn't close to what Philadelphia. But that's what that was. That was the disappointment that I felt was that super bowl when I felt what I felt last night.

[Steve Covino]

DB Rich, FOX Sports Radio Nation Speaking of Brady, does it make you say, when you see, you know, Brady calling all these games and giving his insight on the super bowl outcome, do you think there's a part of him that wants Mahomes to lose? Because it does put him in a different category that even Brady couldn't accomplish.

[Adnan Virk]

I mean, the competitive down the competitive side is probably like, yo, slow down, young buck. I don't like stay at three because four. Each one's hard to get right. He's just getting closer and closer like, and he's not even 30 yet. So, you know, I'm sure Brady's like, yeah, young buck, you can lose one. But you know, based on what you're saying and you and DB Saying the unfavorable matchups for fan bases, the worst World Series ever. DB for me as a Mets fan was.09 when the Yankees played the Phillies. I remember Mets fans being like, could we root for like cancellation? Like, can we root for like, like, like a strike or something? Like, what are we doing here? So I could see where some people are like, oh, Eagles fans versus oh, Swifties, like.

[Steve Covino]

Wow.

[Danny G]

Sweet. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

He sweat Danny G. That is such a goofy question, but an awesome. I love it.

[Adnan Virk]

I think it's a great one.

[Steve Covino]

You don't even know your own team if they have an organist.

[Adnan Virk]

No, because I've seen. I've seen a guy play the piano at Citi Field like he. Like a keyboard, but I guess he's not an official organist, so.

[Danny G]

Yeah, there's baseball fans in certain cities yelling at the radio. The Twins. So, yeah. Red Sox, Reds. Yes. Diamondbacks, Cardinals and Braves.

[Steve Covino]

Wow.

[Danny G]

It's a fun fact.

[Steve Covino]

Less than I thought, though.

[Danny G]

Guys, I got three.

[Adnan Virk]

Hey, John, thanks for bringing the fun, buddy.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, thank you. I appreciate you.

[Adnan Virk]

[Rich Davis]

Have a good day. We'll talk to you soon.

[Steve Covino]

Later, buddy.

[Adnan Virk]

All right. Thank you, guys. That's fun. It's great to be a champion.

[Steve Covino]

Number eight. Crazy Eights.

[Danny G]

That's Rich's eighth victory.

[Adnan Virk]

Look at that. Move over, Tom Brady. Move over, Brady. Move over, Byers. He's coming for you. Let's go to Dan by for an update. Db, what's going on?

[Jason Demers]

I can't believe I missed Washington on the first one because I had a question in the game that we play on Sundays during my show that would have said Washington.

[Adnan Virk]

Oh, easy as 1, 2, 3, 4. You know, I know one of the great scores they lost to your raiders, Danny G. 38 to 9. It's one of my favorite core memories as a child because my dad had 8 and 9 in his box pool and I was a little boy and he was explaining, oh, buddy, the terrible numbers. I'll never win. And then my dad won. So 38, nine. That was one of the Raiders beat.

[Jason Demers]

The Seahawks in the AFC Championship Game to advance to that Super Bowl. So the Raiders also introduced a new head coach today, and it's Pete Carroll.

[Adnan Virk]

I'm so proud to be part of that and recognizing that we get to represent our following and here in Las Vegas, to do it in this setting right here where people can't wait to come see us, they can't wait to see what we're all about. We do want to fill our stadium up with our guys. I know that we have a good draw for people from out of town. There you go. There you go. That's what I'm talking about. Hey Mark, settle down a little bit.

[Jason Demers]

That was actually Marshawn lynch yelling the Raiders in the background as Carroll was introduced along with new GM John Spitek. Cowboys introduced Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach. Former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is expected to be their new defensive coordinator in Dallas. Aaron Glenn is the new head coach of the New York Jets. Jets owner Woody Johnson said he'd be for Aaron Rodgers returning next season, saying the ultimate decision is up to Glenn in the front office. Glenn did say they had communication with Rogers recently, but no decision has been made on his return for next year. And the Jaguars introduced Liam Cohen as their new head coach. It was a weird twist and turn last week when Cohen dropped out of the running for the job, was going to go back to Tampa. But then the Jaguars fired GM Trent Baalke and Cohen is now the head coach in Jacksonville. Here's Jaguars owner Shad Khan and why he decided to fire his old general manager.

[Justin Penik]

You know, after the 10 video interviews.

[Adnan Virk]

Were done and we were ready for.

[Justin Penik]

That was a transition, transition point for me to reflect and what was the right thing for the organization. And that's when I decided that it.

[Jon Stewart]

Was time for a change.

[Jason Demers]

Ravens gave offensive coordinator Todd Monkin a contract extension. Steelers owner Art Rooney II says he believes they'll bring back either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields next season, but wouldn't bring both quarterbacks next year. And the Miami Heath are suspending Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of the team. Shoot around when he was notified he was being replaced in the starting lineup. And in college hoops University of Florida has closed their Title 9 investigation of men's basketball coach Tod Gun golden after they found no evidence supporting allegations of stalking and sexual harassment that were made by multiple people against Golden Guys, back to you.

[Adnan Virk]

Yo, Dan Meyer, Is Robert Sala on your pay me no mind list? Because no shout out for the defending the for the defensive coordinator coming back. Is that official official or what?

[Jason Demers]

Well, it was last week. That wasn't it on Friday.

[Adnan Virk]

I think it happened over the weekend because I was going to say 49er fans pumped about that because no, you.

[Jason Demers]

Guys live in the past. I wouldn't be surprised.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Adnan Virk]

Damn. But yeah, you know what? It's Robert Tyler has the ability again. If he didn't get a head coaching job, it's an interesting thing. DB you pointed out last week where he goes back to where he was and he had success. The Niners defense has slipped since he left, so he has the ability to look good and bring them back. Or if it doesn't look good second time around, who knows if he'll ever get a second shot as a head coach.

[Jason Demers]

Everybody's three, four years older. Yeah, that's the only problem.

[Adnan Virk]

The problem with 49ers. But they do have the weakest schedule in the history of the world next year. So we shall see. All right. So many cool things to look forward to next year already, right? All right. Hey, we got more convene on Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hang tight.

[Steve Covino]

Chicken and waffles. Gumbo, man. Can't wait. So jambalaya.

[Danny G]

Jambalaya.

[Adnan Virk]

Oh, yeah. And the. And the Super Bowl. And the. And the game and what? And. And the halftime show and all the fun. Yeah. I wanted to run something about you guys. We talked a lot of NFL today, a lot of Super Bowl. Let me. Let me throw a story by you guys that it just. I don't know if I'm a sucker or if it's something you just got to do as a parent. So to put in perspective, my daughter's seven. I've coached her girls softball team when she was doing six U T ball. The whole team deal. My son is about to be five, so he starts his first season of T ball. So much like most people listening that are parents, your weekends are spent gymnastics, dance, flag football, basketball, little league, everything. It's with you. If you got little kids, you realize your life is not yours at all. On the weekend, you are just at the mercy of all this other crap of kids.

[Danny G]

They said.

[Adnan Virk]

Exactly. So I. I told my wife, I promise you, babe, I'm not going to get sucked in to coaching and managing. Kavin always mocks this. The manager is the person that runs the team. You got to carry the equipment manager. You run the schedule, you run the practices. A coach is just like a parent could. Assisting coach and help out.

[Danny G]

Yeah, base coach.

[Adnan Virk]

That's what I said.

[Danny G]

I'm like Ramos told you years ago, just be a base coach.

[Adnan Virk]

Oh, Ramos. I missed that advice from John Ramos. So I told my wife, I promise you, since we have our son playing little league on Saturdays and my daughter playing softball on Saturdays, I will not be a manager. I promise. I'm going to assisting coach and I'm going to make sure I want to help my son and my daughter. You know, every dad's trying to go above and beyond. I know.

[Danny G]

And I know you uphold all your promises to your wife.

[Adnan Virk]

So I go to the girls softball little draft and their little assessment on Saturday and all the moms and the people that run the league did the whole. Well, we wanted to have an extra team for girls au, but, well, we're just shorthanded. If we could only get one more manager, one other really generous, willing parent.

[Danny G]

Don't tell me you can't.

[Adnan Virk]

And whatever parent that is, let me tell you that we have assistant coaches and a great support staff.

[Danny G]

You know, it's like, you know in cartoons where the person would turn into.

[Adnan Virk]

A big lollipop because they're sucker.

[Danny G]

Sucker across them. That's exactly what they saw when they saw Rich.

[Adnan Virk]

So look at this guy. All these, like, all these rough moms that are like that. These women are all business. They suckered the hell out of me. I am now managing. I'm now managing my daughter's team again. So I'm. I drafted a team. So I am now running another 8 under girls softball team. But I said to them, I go, you know, my son also plays on Saturday, so I'm not gonna. I have to let you know there'll be times where I can't be here. And they're like, it's okay. You'll have your assistance. I call the little league that my son's playing for, and I go, hey, you know, I said I was gonna help you guys. Assisting. Coach, do you know what time the games are? Because I don't want the games. I want to know if they're going to conflict a lot with my daughter. So what time are the T ball boys usually play? And they go, well, we're scrambling to schedule because one of the dads dropped out. We're looking for a dad to manage the boys T ball. And I'm like, what are you. What are you looking for? Well, what time is that? They go, well, the manager of the team could sort of dictate what time of the day.

[Danny G]

Come on. You did not.

[Adnan Virk]

Those games are played. I go, what? So if I take on a boys T ball team, you could assure me that those games would all be Saturday afternoon. They're like, well, yes, you might be willing to do this. I go, if you tell me the games are in the afternoon, I think we got a deal. So now I had to call my wife, who I promised that I would not manage my daughter's team and now tell her that I'm not only managing my daughter's softball team every Saturday morning, I made it so that Saturday afternoons is what my son's games are so that I am now doing all of that. But there won't be a conflict. So double side.

[Danny G]

You're giving up your entire Saturday.

[Adnan Virk]

Correct.

[Danny G]

To be a coach.

[Adnan Virk]

Correct. But every dad or mom.

[Danny G]

It's like when Tom Brady refused to retire and went back to playing just so he could avoid his family because he hated them.

[Adnan Virk]

I mean, I feel like, you know, justify it by saying my kids are only this age once. Sure, but I'm such an ass. I'm such a sucker for this, but what was I gonna do? Spot.

[Danny G]

Sure, Rich.

[Adnan Virk]

What was I gonna do?

[Danny G]

You're also only this age once. Here, let's give it a whirl. Just go like this. No, thank you. All you have to do.

[Adnan Virk]

No, thank you.

[Danny G]

I'm busy. No, thank you.

[Adnan Virk]

Dude, the parents listening, they know. They know the pressure.

[Danny G]

No, thank you.

[Adnan Virk]

They put on these parents. It. All right, well, hey, you love the.

[Jason Demers]

You love it.

[Adnan Virk]

Have a great Monday night. Coach Rich signing off. Areva dare, baby.

[Danny G]

See you in the promised land.
