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? That's right. Covino and I might be taking a little day trip. Little quick flight. Mets are playing the a's in Sacramento April 13th, I think, right? Yeah. 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. Never done it like anyone thought you did bozos throughout the first pitch. Really? We have friends that work at local radio stations around the country that throw out first pitch. Really? You know what? 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. I'm just saying, bro. I mean, you. You get one chance. You're either Baba Bowie 50 Cent or you're like President Bush who threw a. 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 Sack Man. Not because of what you're thinking right now, because my initials are Steven Anthony Covino. Oh, thanks. Clarify. 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. Sample. First name Phil, last name Pino. Pino. So as let's speak in kids terms. Hey, Dan Beyer. What's up? I was just gonna 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 O. Excuse me. Athletic. Yes. A's. 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. Here's Dwight Gooden. 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. Life changes, man. Life really changes. No doubt. Something to watch. What's going to be on every TV in here, all the games. Baseball. 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've a great Tuesday and the show begins. 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? Just to see, you know, what the Yankees do? Is Soto going to deliver is show? Hey, 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 going to continue doing his thing. Are the young players in the league like the Bobby Witt juniors and Hendersons, are they going to De La Cruz's? De La Cruz going to steal like 80 bases this year? Yeah, there's lots to look forward to, man. Lots of big studs. 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. 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 good of a point was like a shooter McGavin Point? 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. Yeah, 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 it. So for the first time, I'm actually tuning into other teams that I would have never tuned into before. This is good for the rivalry. Not great for you. There's a lot of people that think not only the Yankees fans have to worry about the Orioles. Who are good. Exactly. The Rays always compete, the Blue Jays. But they're saying the Red Sox may have Reba revamped quicker than you think. I know. Raphael 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. Now I want to throw some numbers at you. I want to throw the first pitch at an Oakland game to. 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, it 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. Who. He loves baseball. Mad Dog. Hey, it's me, Mad Dog Russo. He gives Blue Steel sexy looks when he's just listening to Stephen A. 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. I could see all those things you just said. So I'm hearing Matt Dog Russo. Oh. Talking about I do look like George Jensen. He's talking about Paul Skeens and they threw 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 180 innings. He's one of those big, sturdy, old school, Nolan Ryan, Clemens sort of workhorse type of guys. Six, six, two, six seven. Yeah. So I'm not surprised by that. But he said 180innings and then I started to. But he said it like Daffy Duck, because that's how he talks. I don't have any inning, but he looks like your dad. That's why you like him. When I say 180 innings, do you immediately start doing the math that I did? Where? All right, so you look at a 30 starts, six innings. He's pitching 20 complete games. 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. 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. 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 pitchers go five or six game changed. This past year, Middle reliever became a bigger deal. 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. Oh. 5. 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? Yeah. 258. Let's go back to 85. Gooden. 276. Burt Bly. Levin. 293. Great Scott. Now let's go back to 1975. Wow. 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 NL. Mel Stottlemeier. I'm sorry, the AL. 291. So over 330 to what was Keen's projected this year? 180. We're talking about. That's so funny. And we're making a big deal about it. But I'm. Listen, I know the game has changed and I'm not an old guy, so. Not like I was even alive in the 60s. 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 the slender built fellas 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. 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. So it's going to be A lot of skins talk this year, a lot of show hate 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. Mookie Dunn all season. With Paul Skeens, you're going to hear Aaron Judge all season. And that's something that we haven't had what you knew notice. I'm ignoring Juan Soto. I know. But again, all season long. Lindor. I love that guy. These are big names, big market teams. We have to embrace it because it's been a minute that baseball's been this exciting. It's going to be so much fun to watch baseball this year. Look at those. Look at those names, dude. The. The odds. Kyle Tucker. The. The odds to an mvp. So many junior. So many great names in baseball right now. As Fernando Tatis, 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. 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. Every team. We're starting to get back to that point right now, and we need to notice it and embrace it. 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 were throwing close to double, close to double the innings that Cy Young candidates are projected to throw. Well, that's why you heard a lot of rumors last year. Double. 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. Well, there was that proposal, right, where it was six innings or 100 pitches. Exactly. 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. The setup closer. Change the game. Yeah. And then another Yankee reference, which I hate that all these are Yankees references. But when Jabba Chamberlain was coming off an injury, the job of rules, which was 100 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 can say Jabba. But you could say it's just the money changed it because we were just protecting the money at that point. 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. Yeah. Good luck naming more than two relievers on your own team. Not as an 86 Mets kid. That was my. That was my team because I was in kindergarten. That was like my introduction. Right. That's it. You had your closer and maybe another guy. You know who the Mets relievers are and you know both of them. Jesse Orozco and Franco. No, Franco's in the 90s. Oh, well, I'm thinking, oh, in the 80s, Jesse Orozco, the other guy was better known for hotfoots. Oh, McDowell. 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. That was the 90s. So 80s what? Rigetti and who? I don't know because I watched the Yankees. I 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. Yep. So it's on full display. My prediction. It starts in two days. 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 going to be the first season ever other than the strike 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? Not at all. Oh, I think they should. Yeah, I think they should. Why not? 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. 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. It's a fun one. 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. Steve Covino 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 and 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 to call your visit us, call your daddy. You're the one that left. Hey, hey. You're the one that left. We gotta and kiss your ass. Yeah, but dad, I'm not gonna go there and kiss you. And you want to go, you come back see me. But dad, I have two jobs and I'm a dad and I got stuff going on. You're retired. 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, Scarlett. And then my sister who lives here brought her kids. So there's three little kids. Three little kids at my place. Meanwhile, I hope they got jelly stains on your couch. I live in a condo. I hope you got a taste of that life. Yeah, I live like 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 won't. Meanwhile, I mean, I will someday. I've been Rich's house like eight times already. You know, that's called friendship. He. That's my point. You live closer to Rich is close to me, you 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. 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. I'm like, yeah, because my nieces are here. It's 7:30 on a Saturday. She's like, younger girl, shells out of her robe. Could have went way cooler. 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? I'm like, yeah, my shower's broken. Can I use yours? 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. Get a life. It's not like past curfew of 10. 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. Get the. 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? You were like, maybe we should go home now. I'm like, guys, pizza party. Don't let her ruin the fun. Everything's good. We haven't even had dessert yet. And then my girlfriend's like, well, we were kind of loud. I'm like, they're little 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, Steven can't even have company. Never have people over. This happened. Annoying neighbors. Can't even play hide in secrets. Can't do anything. As the great George Lopez once said, can 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. DB's got a tail, guys. 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. I queued up Levin's blinds. No, not exactly. She goes, can you check what's going on outside? My ring. 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 on a Thursday that bounces loud on a silent cul de sac. Don't you live in a cul de sac? Yes. And it is. And we are like in the. If it was a clock, we'd be at 5:00. Okay. 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, Foxwoods Radio. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Hello. Come on, guys. Sports guy. I love sports. Yeah. What are we doing? It's me, Dan. 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 going to talk to the kid that I know in those Crocs. I don't think he can. You wanted a Bart Simpson. This kid's so bad. 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 ain't. 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? Yeah, but that is like intrusive, man. When you're chilling, you want to open up the window and you can't go home. While these stories are from both perspectives, Camino, your neighbor seems to be a stick in the mud. Where Dan byer seems reasonable. 11:00. 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 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. Eleven. I thought he was out of this. I thought he was on Mars. I had no. Yeah, I thought 11. Eleven on a week. If it's summer on a Saturday, maybe I'm party fun time. Rich Davis. And I am telling you, when did this. You are. You are 100% right. I. Saturday night. Friends are over. All right. You make an exception in July. Yeah, whatever. Thursday, weekday kids have school tomorrow. Little kids in the neighborhood. A qu. Sack. Like we said, dude, if I were you, I'd go out there, kick the basketball and say, you're not going to be LeBron. Like, hey. But now he gets sticky. Icky. Because this is Dan's neighbor. I realized why the. Why his wife hasn't talked to. Talked to me really, for the last month. 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 I was Sam, who I felt was. What time did you think Sam for When to stop? 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'd look. Nine to 10. Nine to 10. Ask yourself that. I love what you said. Yeah, My building curfew is 10pm Just for reference. Workers in the area, like neighbors out of a courtesy. You're not gonna have a landscaper or construction person come before a certain time and you're not gonna do that later in that. In fact, I remember Cavino got fined by his HOA when he moved in later than 10, they were like, yeah, you're moving. You have moving trucks. It wasn't his fault, but they ran late. Yeah. Really getting things off to a great start with fine for you. Welcome to the neighborhood again. It's a. It's a common courtesy and it brings up something bigger. It's neighborhood sports rules. And what do you think of Dan Byer's story? Because I think he's in a sticky situation now. I want to hear everyone's neighborhood sports rules. We're going to go to DB for his update, but I think he could 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 Cavino or Spot or 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. Yeah, I don't. I feel bad sending a text. Yeah. Like we have before. But it's only an emergency. Yeah, an emergency. Like I'm like, I have to call Kyrus because there's something going heywire if I see something pertinent about and I'll hit our boss up 9, 29, 30. That sounds after 10. I don't know. All right, DB let's get an update. 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. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body. Parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

Dan Byer is 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 boy of the. And you know, all the bricks, like double dribble. Remember in double dribble, double dribble when you would hit the brick. I'm hearing all the sound effects in Dan's house. 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. 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. How heated did it get, by the way? Between. 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. You know what you should have done? You should have took the cigar and put it off on his head. You don't cross them up. I love the kids. And they had been out there smoking cigars for a while. Just courtesy, though, you know, Neighborhood courtesy. 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? 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? That's a good question. We had a role. 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. Yeah. 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, 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. 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. Dude. When I was a kid, I would cut through everyone's yard playing hide and seek manhunt. And then, you know, your wiffle ball would go into someone's yard. You'd climb their fence. What? I'm just getting my ball. Step in their flower bed. If some kid went near my roses or lantanas, I would slap them. I agree. I feel so bad for my neighbors of 40 years ago. Me too. Like, I wanted to send them a I'm sorry note, but I'm gonna send all my old neighbors. They're probably dead now, but edible Arrangements. 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. I remember. But you gotta do it respectfully. I remember 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 again. You'd slap them. And be sure to check out tractor supplies. Fox Sports radio's bracket challenge. FoxSportsRadio.com See how our hosts are doing, how the listeners are doing. And again, the Winner Best Bracket gets 25 hundo a gift card to tractor supply. It's pretty cool that Sam brings in his classic CNC toy, his little spinny CNC for the sound effects for that commercial. What time is curfew for animals? Ooh, 10:00pm that's tough too. Animals are barking throughout the night. Dan Byer didn't complain about that, but he did have a valid complaint. I think when the teenage kids in the neighborhood just bouncing the basketball while his kids trying to sleep on a random school night. What's the sports rules here? Neighborhood sports rules. Oh, 10:00pm Dan, you, you could go to them. Do you remember that commercial? Is that a west coast thing too? It's 10pm do you know where your children are? No. Oh, geez. That was not out here. Yeah, it was on the news. There was a local news here. I grew up in Wisconsin. Oh, yeah, there was. Every, every night, right when the 10 o'clock news started, there would be like a disclaimer. It's 10:00pm do you know where your children are? You could be like, hey, if the news is asking, get him in the house. That's a good point. Seriously, like, I need everything on my side, especially on a weeknight. Remember my story, my complaint? It was Saturday night. Beat it. Now Mike who runs this place tells a story. Who? Mike who runs this place. He played sports growing up. I know that's hard to believe, but he said he would hit. He would hit discus, throwing balls into his neighbor's yard. He said his neighbor would go like great lengths to really get to these kids. They would cut. He would cut their balls in half with a chainsaw. He says they never knew with what. Sounds like a potlight, not sandlot. He said he would throw back half a baseball to them. Like he's like, this guy must have brought. Stay out of my way, man. That's some grumpy old man. I know. Like in Rialto, California, when I was little, a little kid, my older brother would throw the football sometimes over the neighbor's fence. And she was a mean lady. She said, any balls you throw over here, I'm giving to my dog in his doghouse. So we'd see the dog chewing on our Nerf football. The sandlot. Yeah, Imagine that nowadays. Why didn't you just come knock on my door? Yeah. No mom would stand for that. Imagine a mom in 2025. They'd go to the neighbor like, you have my child's ball. Give it back immediately. Oh, yeah. Like, there's no way the neighbor would keep the ball. However, it was $12.99 at Target. They're working. If the kid hit your car with some wiffle balls, how do you feel about that cost of business. If it's in the street, is a wiffle ball going to do damage to a car? You would not be pumped if you saw the neighborhood kids having a home run derby and your car is in the vicinity. We used to hit golf balls with aluminum bats. You would just hit them wherever. You know, my wife, the other day, my kids are. I'm throwing them wiffle balls on the front lawn. They're hitting wiffle balls with their aluminum little league baseball bats. Wiffle balls, right. My wife is concerned because, like, there's a couple cars parked on the street, like, houses away. I'm like, if our kid hits the ball there, you have awful confidence in our kid to go to hit it all the way over there. And if that's the case, if your car's parked in the street in the neighborhood, you should be happy. The kids are outside playing wiffle ball. Wiffle ball's not going to do anything. That's the thing too. Right. And I bet you that's where Dan Byer's a little torn. It's nice to see kids being kids. It's nice to see teenagers playing a pickup game. That's their argument. Right? It's nice to see kids outside, not on their tablet. So you don't want to discouraged him and be the grumpy guy, because we've dealt with that growing up. But there has to be a level of respect. And I think that's the point of this conversation. And Dan, I think you hit the nail on the head. 10 o'clock is like more than generous. Way more than. That's what I thought as well. Without a doubt. And honestly, not to start trouble in your neighborhood. I think you got to stand firm on that. Otherwise they're just taking advantage of your kindness. That's the. That's the issue now is it's a. It's a. Tell you what, we had a different neighbor because they put a pickleball court in the middle of our cul de sac. And so Another neighbor called the HOA out there. That sounds fun, man. Go play some sports over there. Yes. But another neighbor then got mad at them and they called the HOA and the hoa, like, a couple of days later, they put lines down and everything. All of a sudden there's a street crew that shows up. What? Yeah, yeah. So it's. I care. You don't live in an LA fitness. What's going on? I. So you had to drive around the pickleball court. Like, they move the net. Like, if you were coming home again, we're at 5 o'clock. So the net was basically three to nine when we were playing. They'd move it and then we'd pull in and drive. But it was a different neighbor. The neighbor at 9:00. That's like, I'm. I haven't talked to him about it, but he told them, like, you guys almost hit my car and I almost hit you guys, man. Neighborhood sports rules. The local teens. And Dan's cul de sac is keeping up his kid, and they're playing into late hours of the night. I think one of the points we made, Covino, also was your perspective changes over the years. Definitely. Like, I used to think my neighbor was a jerk for putting his sprinkler on when we would play tackle football on his lawn. And I'm like, what a mean guy. I'm like, he just didn't. He probably spent a lot of money on his beautiful lawn. And he's like, these kids are not playing football. My lawn. Like, looking back, you know, maybe Vinnie wasn't such a bad guy after all. He just wanted to manicure his lawn that so many of us now do these days. Exactly. Well, let's wrap it up. Neighborhood sports. That didn't deter you guys from playing the. You were just getting hit with water and you were like, no. I looked at his football under all 87799 on Fox @COVINO. And Rich, who do we got? Rich. Let's go to Mike in Minnesota. Hey, Mike, you're on the show. Hey. So it's funny, I live in a cul de sac with like, all the original owners from the mid-90s, like, from when I was a kid. And now my kid's playing cul de sac baseball in the yard and all of his buddies are over. And I've had multiple parents in the neighborhood say, like, it's such a joy seeing this new generation of kids doing exactly what our kids did back in the day. No. Dan Byer said, go inside and play Roblox and get on your iPad. But you're right, it's bringing life back to the neighborhood. Right? But Mike said there is one. You said there's one complaint, though. There's also the complaint that comes out. It's like, it's a civility thing. So, like, there's this one kid, he's basically O'Doyle. And so the neighbor across the street, right? And so the lady comes up across the street, comes up and she goes, I really am enjoying watching these kids doing this. But there's one kid, he's just constantly using bad language and swearing. And I go, yeah, I think I know who it is. You know, and then you got to have that conversation with the dad where you're just kind of like, like, hey, man, like, if he's going to come over, he's really got to keep it down. He cannot be swearing or like, bullying and like, you know. You know, pushing kids around because he's older, he's bigger, he's what he is. O'doyle. And then he pushed you and said, o'doyle rules. Right, Doyle rules. How late do you think is late? Yeah, Mike, what's. What's too late for you? Well, it's interesting. So, I mean, in Minnesota, it gets pretty dark at 7:00. So, like, in my opinion, like, you know, it's not necessarily how dark it is or anything like that, But I think 10 o'clock is probably a good time. Dude, that's generous. It really is that. That's more than fair. Safe to say by 10pm it's completely dark out all across the U.S. unless you're in like, Alaska or something. Lock it down. If it's dark, the street lights are out, but like, in the summertime, it's light out, like in the Midwest till like after nine. I think. A good rule of thumb. Yeah. Don't bother people after 9pm and by the way, I don't want to dive into this story, but There was an O'Doyle in my neighborhood. It was this fat Greek kid, and he would just like, bully everybody. But he was a lot older than us, right? Let's say I was like 10. He was like 13, 14. Right. I'm like nine years old. Barely. This kid would push us around, tease us. My mom came out with a Wiffle ball bat. True story. So this is sports related. I figured I'd bring it up. She beat his ass all the way down the street with a wiffle ball bat. Stuff like that. Yeah, my mom stuff because he saw him, like, push me Onto the grass or something. She'd be in jail, right? She would be in prison. He went running down, welted with wiffle ball, bat. And Doyle rules. Yeah. Oh, Doyle never bothered me again. Doyle rules. You know, That's a true story. Neighborhood sports. Speaking about this, I'll throw this quick story in. The only time I ever started a physical fight in my life, we were playing tackle football. You know, when you try to get more kids to play. My brother's four and a half years younger than me. So let's say I was, like, 13. My brother was, like, nine. Yeah, there was always that in the neighborhood. And so, like, yo, my brother Jimmy. Jimmy, let's play. You need an extra guy? Yeah. One kid kept tackling my little brother really hard. And I'm like, my dude, he's nine. Like, who? Little Jimmy O'Doyle? Yeah. No, I was like, why? Why are you bothering my brother? He's nine. He's here as the extra guy. And I was like, just don't tackle him hard anymore. He's nine. We're all 13. He goes, yeah, all right, whatever. He tackled my brother hard. One more time. I went up to him. I sucker punch him in the gut. I pushed him to the floor, and I just jumped on top of him, like, and I just kept hitting him. Good work. It was the only time I ever started a fight. Rich actually invented mixed martial arts. A lot of people know that he invented the ground. True story. True story. I want to go to Alaska and say hi to Matt. What's up, Matt? What's going on, guys? How we doing today? We're good. What's up? Good. Hey, so maybe I'm a little old school, but you guys kind of touched on a little bit back in the day, you know, things were. Things were different. Now everybody wants to, you know, sue everybody. Kid comes over, plays in your yard, even when you got cameras inside. No. Johnny ran into the side of the truck. You know, it's not. It's not our fault, but when it comes to the street, I think the streets open game. If you want to park your car out there, that's public property. And kids, that's where. That's where, you know, the neighborhood kids should be playing. Unless you're the one that's got the big lawn. When it comes to farm animals, unfortunately, where I live, we got kind of bigger lots, and our neighbor does have a couple of roosters. And, you know, there's no rules on when those roosters are gonna crack off. Oh, dude. You know, hold on there Was a show. Wait, was it this Fool? This fool on Hulu? Yeah, which is a great show. It got canceled, unfortunately. Such a good show. Props to everybody involved. It was a really fun show. And it was based out of east la, Danny. Oh, I saw the show. I remember the guy. They were. They hated the neighbor who had the rooster that every morning, what at 5:00am or 6. Well, it's like when the birds start chirping. It's still dark out. You're like, damn birds. But you're like. They're birds. You can't control them. Yeah, but if you're next to a neighbor, I was saying I'm kind of rooster. I don't think you'd be pleased. Yeah, yeah. Take some adjustment. Say hi to Clint in Vegas. What's up, Clint? You doing, man? What's up, man? So my. A couple neighbors down from me, they said he had a farm here in Vegas and he had a big old open grass area. So we sneak on his property and play baseball and I mean, he'd get off my line, get out of here. You know, you do all that stuff. One day he shot me with salt rock. I don't know if you know what that is. No, like an air. Like an airsoft gun? No, it's a. It's a shotgun round, but instead of lead, it's filled with salt. Oh, the bug. There's like a bug Shoot a bug gun. You can get like that air. Compressed air. But imagine. Imagine a 12 gauge. Yes, a shotgun. Imagine nowadays that happened that. Imagine someone shoots your kid with any type of in it. Whatever. Geez, you know. Shout out. Can we all shout out One nice person in our neighborhood growing up. They're all gone now. But. But Mrs. Hansen was this old lady that wanted us to play by her house because her kids were all grown. So she'd peek out the window and watch us play Wiffle ball and wave. Maybe even offer you some lemonade. Would you like. Boys like some water? And I remember being like, yo. If everyone was like, Mrs. Hanson gave you a little strawberry candy. You know those mystery candies that old people have with the strawberry wrapper? Where do you find those? I think all people buy all. You know what? If you. If you're curious where all people get their candy. I figured it out. Get out of here. Should I give away the mystery where I recently went to the Dollar Tree. Yeah. Tootsie Rolls, those strawberry candies, the orange peanuts. Like every old person candy. Dollar Tree. Wow. All right. Well, Clint has a little more to that story. Wrap it up with Clint. He has more to the story. What up, Clint? So I wrap it up. I freaking went home and my dad's like, what happened to you? And I was like, Mr. Tepper shot me with a freaking shotgun. And he goes, were you in his lawn? Yeah. That's what you get. Yeah, you'll learn your lesson, son. That's the difference between parents nowadays versus, like, when I was younger, my parents would blame me first, and then they'd inquire like, oh, were you to blame? Okay, if you were, then kind of had it coming. Neighborhood sports rules. Allen, want to wrap it? It is nice to see kids playing though. No, no doubt. And you know, it's kids play now as much as they ever did, but they just play in overpriced, traveling, organized sports. Alan, what's up, man? Hello, you guys. Great show. Thanks, man. Hey, I gotta tell you, I'm 70 years old, so I know old school, but I have two comments and I'll let you guys get to it. First comment is, I've seen this neighborhood stuff go on and everything changes. If you have a perfect neighborhood party and you're dishing out beer and wine coolers for the women, those rules will change. And then my second comment is, and I've told my wife this, she likes your show too. I'm. I'm convinced you guys are sociology professors pretending to be slow. Oh, I wanted to hear the rest of that. Sociology professor's compliment got interrupted. I want to know. Oh, my God, he was about to say something awesome. I was gonna add that to my bio. He just went through like a tunnel or something. Yeah. Alan, you still there? Yeah. You lost him, man. Sociology professors posing as radio. Like radio. Like we're so tapped into the mind. Yeah, and by the way, he said he was this guy sounds like he was drinking a ton of wine. He sounded like he was the youngest 70 year old I ever heard. I thought that too. And you know a kid drop off this morning. I thought 70 year old guys were like, let me tell you guys, I really love the show. My dad's 70. So. Your dad's 70? Yeah, my dad's like, hey, hey, Covina. How would your dad say it? Yeah, he got kiss off. So you were in his yard? I was talking to a couple of dads that drop off at the school this morning, and we happen to be reminiscing about this. So it's coincidence that you're talking about it? Well, Dan's in a. He's in a. He's got. He's in a bind. But we were talking about how kids are as active as ever before. But gone are the days. It is refreshing when you see those neighborhood kids because where you spent a lot of your time playing wiffle ball, you had that adjustable backboard. You know, the slam dunk rim where you were playing street football, where the curbs were the sidelines. Those things have all been replaced by overboard organized sports where every kid's playing travel, soccer, travel baseball, lacrosse, flag football. Like every kids are as active as ever. But it's now all under the guise of organized playtime. Playtime does not last as long. And that's the thing. I have no problem with any of it. It's actually the time that it's happening. You know, that's. That's the whole deal. That's awesome that they're out there playing basketball. Could we have done this three hours earlier? I'm gonna do. I'm gonna. I'm gonna come to your house with my bluetooth speaker at 10pm and I feel like party for after hours. DB you should gift them an indoor Nerf hoop to put on their bedroom door. Right? Yeah, maybe that's passive inside. Passive aggressive. Here's a Nerf hoop. Go inside. All right. To do. Dan, the truth is you gotta catch these teenagers with like. Like weed or alcohol and blackmail them and be like, yeah, listen, guess who's not going to tell you. Dad, your pal. Damn buyer. But you know what you're not going to do? Bother me after 10pm the worst part is that I. I wish. No, I don't wish that they were. But you're talking about bad kids. These are the greatest kids in the world. Oh, so that's why you're just like. So you could plant weed in there. If they have a hoodie. If they have a hoodie. What's this? Kids can't do it. Can't do it. I would plants. Well, it's nice to know they are good kids. So I'm excited to hear the conclusion of these Go to the neighborhood. Yeah, weed is legal out here. You need to go up a level with those drugs. Okay, I found some cocaine and. No, now we're going overboard. Really scared. If I was one of Rich's neighbors. I know. Yeah. Mess with me, I'll plant some stuff on your kids. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on My body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Swaggy with the Swiggy. That's our stainless steel water bottle that's sweeping the nation. It's a great prize because, let's be real, your kid loses every one of them, so you know you need another one. Get a Covino Rich Swiggy. In fact, if you want to win one, you can win one. Now in the Game that's sweeping the nation. It's time for Quote me. Yeah. Sports, media and athletes are quoted a lot. Stars attract other stars. Here comes the hot take. Quotes. Andy Weed should step down as head coach. This is not a one game reaction. Because they lost in this game, you guess? The talking head. You can quote me on that. Quote me. All right. In this game, you need to tell me which blabbermouth said it. Let's meet the contestants. The man who looks 20 years younger in eyeglasses, Steve Covino. Yeah, that's me. Don't compliment him. He doesn't deserve it. I dye my hair with just for vatos. Dark brown, black. All lies. It keeps me young. To the left of him, the broadcaster whose greatest point ever was about mufflers, Rich Davis. That's a good point. That is true. It's a good point. I didn't make that yesterday. 20 years. No muffler problems anymore. What's going on? The only flex bigger than his gym selfies are pics of his Thanksgiving bombs. Spotty boy. Let's try this. Leftovers. Incredible. And the man who once tied Phil Mickelson by shooting an 8 over 80 at Pebble Beach, Dan Beyer. Thank you very much. That's impressive, Dan. That was the worst performance ever by Phil Mickelson. Great job. Take it in a heartbeat. All right, looking to win a CNR stainless steel Swiggy on the studio lines. Trevor in Reno. Trev. Hey, Trevor. Hey, guys. How's it going? Hey, Trev. What do you do for a living there in Reno? Bartender. Service industry. There you go. Nice man. All right, rules for Quote me. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champ. If there's a tie, I have two overtime quotes ready to go. Your name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read. If there's two wrong answers in a row, we move on to the next quote. Are you ready? Yep. Let's get it on. Here's round one. All right, here's the quote. Who me? Who is also in that bracket in Denver? Byu. They could walk to Denver from Salt Lake and they're used to elevation playing in it. How in the world do you send four teams? Four teams that play played Sunday and advanced the tournament and they got to travel to Denver and Yale's a long way. Quote me. Who me? Was that A, Chris Broussard, B, Mad Dog Russo, or C, Dan Patrick? Spot. Spot. That has a Broussard vibe to it. No, I disagree. Rich. Rich for the steal. DP no, you're both losers. That was your boy Mad Dog, and this is what it sounded like. Who is also in that bracket in Denver? Byu. They can walk to Denver from Salt Lake, and they're used to elevation playing in it. How in the world do you send four teams? Four teams that played Sunday and advanced the tournament, and they're gonna go travel to Denver. And Yale's a long way. Wow. Man. When is he not fired up? I don't know. Wow. All right. Does he order food like that at a restaurant? Ah, the Takay Club. Nobody before or after is half an edible that he likes to dig. They put cheese on my burger. No one on the board yet. We moved around, too. Here's the second quote. It's not to say it was a bad move, but I'm just saying the word cheap in free agency is synonymous with Jerry Jones at this point. It's something that he looks to do. It's something that he looks to do as it pertains to cutting corners. Quote me. All right, so who, me? Definitely a cowboy hater. Keep that in mind. Okay, is it A, Stephen A, Smith, B, Jason Smith, or C, Michael Smith? Trevor. Trevor, we're gonna go Michael Smith. No, Rich. Rich for the steel. Jason Smith. Wow. Honestly, Danny, I thought you threw Stephen A. Out there. Yeah, I thought so, too. And you can quote me on that. Yeah, this is what it sounded like. It's not to say that it was. It was a bad move, but I'm just saying the word cheat in free agency is synonymous with Jerry Jones at this point. It's something that he looks to do. It's something that he looks to do as it pertains to cutting corners. All right, so nobody still has scored as we go to round three. Here's the third quote. I've been thinking about it a lot in the shower. Quote number three. It's not that people are like, oh, Bronny had 17. He's the greatest player of all time. What they're seeing is confidence. What they're seeing is development. What they're seeing is him getting to his spots. What they're seeing is him shooting a shot that he didn't want to shoot in Philadelphia, he didn't want to shoot in other times. Quote me. Who? Me? Was that A, Doug Gottlieb, B, Kelvin Washington, or C, Colin Cowherd, Covino Cove? B, Kelvin Washington. Yes. Yeah, buddy. I felt it. Yes. That was. That was K Dub, and this is what it sounded like on Fox Sports Radio. It's not that people are like, oh, Bronny has 17. He's the greatest player of all time. What they're seeing is confidence. What they're seeing is development. What they're seeing is him get to his spot. What they're seeing is him shooting shots that he didn't want to shoot in Philadelphia, he didn't want to shoot in other times. And by the way, 39 points in the G League last night, dude, you could see the confidence going. He's got a nice floater, too. He's got a nice touch, a nice feel for the ball, man. I don't know. I think he's gonna have a good one. Calvin was replying to Rob Parker, who said the game didn't mean anything. Of course. All right, here's the fourth quote. Coach Time and myself have given Asante Samuel more attention since he's been retired than he's ever gotten. There's nothing to debate. There's no one gonna say that he's in the realm of time. He's in the realm of Darrell Revis. He's in the realm of Rod Woodson or a Charles Woodson or a Daryl Green or a Mel Blunt. He's not. I don't give a damn what he says about the film. Quote me. Who? Me? Was that A, Mike Florio, B, Cam Newton, or C, Shannon Sharpe? Trevor. Trevor. Steve. Shannon. Sharp. Yes. Trev. Halfway to a Swiggy. Nice. Yes, sir. You can quote me on that. So, so far, Covino and Trevor on the board. And that was the fourth one, so actually, Covino and Trevor go to overtime here. This is between the two of you, all right? In overtime. You need to guess how the quote is finished. A, B and C choices on the way here between Covino and Trevor finish the quote from the Pistons. Cade Cunningham. Stay with it. Continue to dig deep. This year has been super rewarding for all of us. And A, we won't stop till we have a ring. B, we're still super hungry. Or C, it's nice to no longer be in last place. Trevor. Trev for the win. B. B is correct. Bam. Bam. Trevor, the guy. We have a winner. Yeah. Cade Cunningham said, stay with it. Continue to dig deep. This year's been super rewarding for all of us. And we're still super hungry. And now we are gonna mail a shiny Swiggy out to Reno. Congratulations, Trev. Trevor serving drinks in the Swiggy longer than John Lennon's ass crack. So I'm so happy I finally got one. Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it. Trevor earned that one. All right, so Quote me sweeping the nation. My brother loves that game too. Danny G. Shout out to my brother Tommy again. We're Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. It's a great game. I gotta. You gotta put a Rich Davis quote. You gotta put one of my quotes in there. Like mufflers aren't a problem anymore. We got Danny G producing, who's telling us that we have breaking NFL news. Dan Byer. What's up? Breaking news from Fox Sports, guys. The New York Giants and quarterback Russell Wilson have agreed to terms on a one year deal worth $21 million according to multiple reports. The writings on the wall then for Aaron Rodgers, huh? Steelers, right? Has to be, right? Or Browns. What about Shador Sanders? Nah. Ooh, I was hearing rumors about the Giants. Well, yeah, no, hold on. That throws you for a loop. And by the way, I had good source scoops Callahan, your uncle Bill. I'm serious. I had good source that the Giants were showing major interest in Shador, meeting with him and everything. What are you. Who you hire the sin detective that in Billy Madison? I got scoops Callahan on speed dial. Billy, listen here. See, Billy likes chocolate milk. So that is. That's a wild one, Dan. Wild. Well, you know what, Dan Buyer, that does throw things for a loop. And what happens to Tommy Cutlets? Well, Cutlets, he'll be practice squad or third string. But if you have Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito, you know, if you keep a third quarterback, then is Shador Sanders off the table? Yes, I would think so. But you're right, there was buzz about the Giants. New York City should door, you know, the ons, kid. Maybe this gives the Giants some flexibility to take a QB a little later in the draft. Man, that's an interesting one. And. But this damn buyer agreed that if Russ is in New York Giant, that all that straight up spells out that Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers are pretty much a done deal too. No, that's an interesting one. Russ and Jameis Winston, the quarterback room for the Giants, they went from Daniel Jones and Tommy DeVito to Russell Wilson and James. I'm not even just making this up. I would never do that. I had on good source that the Giants were pretty serious about Shador Sanders and see him and everything. Colonel Sanders. Colonel Sanders told me. Let's just say I had. I had an inside school like, oh, wow, that's interesting. Okay, we'll see when it happens. So maybe those ideas and those plans and those thoughts go completely out the window when you have to just pull the trigger sometimes. And by the way, is that an outdated expression? No, I think it's fine. You have to make the move to get Russell Wilson. When you have the moment, pull the trigger. Sometimes you just got to make that move. You think that's outdated? I don't know. There's certain things I hear today's from today's ears, like, suicide squeeze. I'm like, is that really, like, a. You had the guy call us about getting shot with the shotgun full of salt. So it's just from today's sensitive 20, 25 years. Hold on. Certain things I'm like, is that outdated? The same guy that told Cavino Shador Sanders was definitely going to the Giants. I got other notes of what that guy told Covino. No, no, no. Ms. Lippy's car is green. Not definitely going. Definitely, like, seriously interested. And Billy likes to drink soda. Is that same guy? It was old sideburns told me. Guy with the mop over there. So that's big news. Big news now, Rich, we teased it, so we might as well bring it up. I'm so torn by it. I'm not torn. I'm just saying it's. It's so weird because I didn't think Rust to the Giants wasn't even on my mental radar. That's what I'm saying. It changed everything up. All right, we'll see you guys manana. Have a great taco Tuesday. Until then, arriva derchi, baby. See you in the promised land. Wow. Rust to the Giants, huh? Crazy. This is Nikki Glaser from the Nikki Glaser podcast. Have you guys seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's basically Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady going back and forth with reasons that they hate each other. But then when you really listen to them, the reasons for the hate are just so stupid. I don't know. This. This commercial really got me. It's a strong reminder that hate in our country continues to be out of control. So join us at iHeart in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up. Call it out. Your voice is a powerful tool in this fight. You can learn more by following hat's upwithhate. Geico's motorcycle expertise gives me the coverage I need. Like, 24. 7 claims I'm on cloud nine.
