Take a listen. Unanimous. National League MVP Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani. Ohtani. Boy, oh boy. Come here, come here, come here. Come here. Let me give you a niggy. He slapped him on the ass. Looks like a movie star. He's got a good future, I'm telling you. Shattered all of those records last year. Think of it, all of them. And he did something even more because he became the first ever member of the 5050 club. Oh, look at that. So the, the president giving props to Ohtani. He's a movie star. Ohtani. Yeah. Politics aside. That's so cool, man. Jackie Chan, throw your politics out the window just for a minute. Ohtani. And just. Ohtani. Appreciate that he's recognizing the greatness that we speak of on the Daily. Ohtani. I thought that was cool. I thought it was a cool moment. And he does look like a movie star. You know, it sort of all ties together. I promise you. We have too much to get to to get into a long winded conversation about movie stars. Ohtani. Look at him. Ohtani. But Shohei Ohtani looks like a movie star. Today is the anniversary of two classic baseball movies that are near and dear to us. And if Ohtani can be a movie star, then we got a shout out. The cast of Major League came out on this day in 1989. So that's what, 36 years ago or for how long? Yeah, 30. Yep. 36 years ago. 36. And in 1993, the sandlot debuted. So two of the best baseball movies ever came out on this day. And real quick, do you have a favorite movie star baseball player? Is there a, is there someone that you think, wow, they, they were convincing as a ball player. And you can't say Charlie Sheen because I think that's the obvious answer. Well, I like that we're celebrating both of these movies today. And we posed that question again at 87799 on Fox. If you want to chime in. 87799 on Fox. Because they're two baseball movies, but two very different movies. Yeah, for real, there's nothing. The only commonality here is the fact that baseball is the backdrop. But two very different movies. You know, one stars Benny the Jet Rodriguez. He should be in the conversation. And you already said Rick Vaughn. But the coolest fictional baseball player. It's a great question. We open it up to you. Ohtani looks like a movie star, but when it comes to actual movie stars, who is the best character? You know, I hate to agree with Mike, but again, he's in the conversation. Who? Wonder Mike, who runs this place in our pre show meeting. Never heard of him. Mike. He looks like Rick from Pawn Stars. Mike. Never heard of him. He said Roy Hobbs, the wonder boy with the wonder back. Yeah, I talked about that music last week. You did. The Natural has to be in the conversation. Roy Hobbs. Because you almost believe that he was a real guy. Like you bought into that story, right? Like the lightning hit the tree, he made a bat out of it. Like you believe the story of Roy Hobbs. Almost. At least I did. It's like my brother who thought Forrest Gump was a true story. The Natural in my mind was like a real movie, like a real story, real person. So again, who is the coolest fictional baseball player of all time? We open it up to you. Do you have an immediate answer? I think, listen, I think I got mine, but no one's going to agree. So I'm holding. I think the obvious answer from Major league would be the wild thing because he had the mechanics. And as the stories go, everyone said a million times, the coolest guy in that movie. You could say Pedro Serrano was the coolest guy in that movie. Are you in good hands? People don't realize it's the same guy. People don't know that's Dennis Hay's birth. Haysworth. Haysbert. Hayesberth. Haysbert. Dennis Hayes. Haysbert. There it is. Is there an H in there somewhere? Yeah, yeah. The first letter. No, no. Is there a th in there? So I think there's another like th, like birth. No, but we had him on our show and he was like, are you in good hands? Like, dude, I can't believe that. Are you in good hands? President from 24 is the same Pedro Serrano that we were convinced was some Dominican guy who was talking about Joe Buu all the Time. That's a great answer. I think Wild thing. Rick Vaughn's a great answer. I think Roger Dorn as the cocky, which we're going to talk about later, cocky versus confidence infielder, the veteran. But I think he was such a focal point of the movie. I think the aging catcher played by Tom Behringer, Jake Taylor. Didn't he remind you of like almost like a washed up Gary Carter type where they weren't. Carter was like a clean. Carter was like a clean cut fist kind of. Yeah, Carter was too clean cut and like a nice guy. It seemed like Jake Taylor was like washed up catcher, playboy. And I thought that was a great character. You could say just maybe on form someone throws you off. Like. Yeah, I didn't like how they threw. It wasn't convincing. Like how do you feel about Ray Liotta in Feel the Dreams? Like is there someone that sticks out but that's not fictional? So maybe he doesn't count because Joe Jackson was a real dude. Yeah, how about he was super realistic in his role. Bernie Mac, Mr. 3000 Dude. You know, I've never seen that movie. I've never seen it. But I'm not being. I don't think he had the smooth swing of a Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs or anything or Griffey then didn't. I mean, I'm picturing Bernie Mac. I don't remember being that impressed. But you know what? I always feel like Dennis Quaid on the mound was convincing when he always play. I think Quaid was also based on a real guy. That dude played for Tampa. But I'm saying who is convincing? It doesn't. I'm saying like you said, fictional. Carol. Okay, you know who had a good swing, Mr. Baseball? Tom Selleck. Yeah, he was a good ball player. What do you got? Damn by. I do think in major league, especially in our era when you would have old crafty pitchers that the role of Ed Harris or Eddie eras. I played like a Phil Nero type. Yes, exactly. Like a guy who just gets by with all of his junk. You know who reminded me of Barbara? Like a Charlie Huff. Yes, yes, exactly. Like there were actual players that I could think of. Charlie Huff, I thought he was like 82, still pitching for the Rangers. So that's who that reminds me. That's a good one, Denbigher. That is a good one. You know, very convincing, very great answer. But you mentioned Dennis Quaid. He played Jim Morris, which was based on a true story, who was a gym teacher turned devil raised pitcher. So I don't know if that technically counts, but you got to give Dennis Quaid the nod because he's at least a convincing ball player. Our buddy Sean hit us up. A young Jay Hernandez was in that movie, too. Our buddy Sean out here in LA listening on the iHeart app. What's up, buddy? He said Kevin Costner might be the most convincing ball player. Kurt Russell, not too shabby either. I'll tell you one that was not convincing to me. And I love the guy. He's always been very kind to Covino and Rich. I mentioned the movie, but probably too cool for a guy like Steve Cavino. You know Captain Cool over here. Yeah, that's the. Call me Angels. In the outfield, they had Tony Danza. Someone in continuity must have been like, do an exaggerated follow through when you pitch. He did this deal, remember this whole like, oh, yeah, my gang. Follow through is absurd. Yeah, it was an absurd follow through, you're right. So my answer, I've waited and I've waited for one better, but I haven't heard one yet. So I was thinking, is it Carmen Ronzoni from the Bad News Bears? Remember Carmen Ronzoni? He had that cool leather jacket. Carmen Ronzoni. Or is it Kelly Leak? And it has to be Kelly Leak of the Bad News Bears. And here's why I say that. Because as a little kid, and I'm watching the original Bad News Bears movies, right, Kelly Leek was supposed to be a Little League player, and he's rolling around on a moped, driving a moped to the game, smoking cigarettes. He looked like a. Like a burnout who was at least 33 years old playing on a Little League team. So Kelly League for me was always the quintessential late 70s, early 80s, badass, fictional baseball player. I'm sticking with my answer. It's not Carmen Ronzoni. It's. It's Kelly Leak of the Bad News Bears. I'm not going to give. I'm not going to give that my number one spot, but I'm trying to think of. Played by Jackie Earl Haley, by the way. I mean, people are pointing out on social media right now that it's an old guy answer, Rich, but it's a good one. Mr. Baseball played by Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck played baseball at usc? Apparently so. Hey, speaking of actors and Shohei could be a Hollywood star with his face in physique. Isn't it odd to you that Billy Crystal actually took an at bat for the New York Yankees? And so did Tom Selleck? That Is cool. Tom Selleck did in Detroit, I believe, like in a spring training game. Look that up, Mr. Baseball. Tom Selleck himself went yard, right? He went yard in Detroit, if I'm not mistaken. I'm just picturing. I don't know if he went yard, but I know he made contact. Dude. I'm pretty sure he hit one out. I'm going to look it up. But Billy Crystal also had the honor because he's so affiliated with being a Yankees fan. And he did the 61 movie and everything. I remember. Of course, he took an at bat. The Yankees, like, what an honor that is. Even if it's just like a gimmicky, goofy thing. I think that's awesome. I remember loving the movie 42 and the late Chadwick Boseman. He was good as Jackie Robinson, but I don't know if on the field the Mechanics were. Were 100% there. And another guy we really enjoy, Mark Paul Gosler. Yeah, not. I used to like that show pitch. Yeah. But he even admitted, like his mechanics. He's not a ball player. I'm like, tell him. I'm telling him. You said that. All right. In 1986, while working out with the Detroit Tigers, Tom Selleck, known for his role in Magnum P, hit a batting practice home run at Tiger Stadium. That's pretty sweet. But he appeared in a game, right? There was like a. There was an actual game. I remember him seeing him suit up. Yeah, I don't. I know the practice one. I don't. There's. There should be video that I've recently seen on TikTok. Within the last like six months training. It was an old Timers game. I'm seeing some footage here, but based on all this stuff and the Shohei, I think honor and compliment from the President because you could imagine like in person, dude. Not only like tall, but he's a good looking dude. Honestly, Ohtani looks like a movie star. The guy's not only a superstar, maybe one of the best ever. He could be a movie star. Listen to the President. I mean, Shohei Ohtani, stupid ohtani. He's a 6 foot 4 stud. Hey, we found out. But he's a. Looks like a movie star, he's a model. I mean, he's also a commercial star because there's a story to go along with his commercials. In Japan. If you've noticed that the Dodgers have a cool new celebration. And you might be wondering if you haven't seen this on social media yet, the Dodgers, the whole hip flexor thing has sort of taken A backseat to the. It looks like some type of 70s disco move. Almost like a Zoolander where you're putting two fingers in front of your eyes. Like, whoa. Like a Pulp Fiction type of move that is mocking in a fun way. Ohtani, when they were in Japan, they saw that he did a. Like a skincare ad for Decort Liposaurus and he pulls the product in front of his eyes like he pulls it across his eyes. And that is now the rally cry and celebration of the Dodgers. As if they needed more chemistry to bring them closer. Just to put a bow on the Selleck stuff. April 3, 1991. Selleck appears in a spring training game for the Tigers against the Reds. At one point hits a foul ball that Chris Sabo tries to track down, but it lands and like the photographer. Well, or whatever, but bounces outside back onto the field of play. Glenn Braggs then picks up the baseball. And everybody wants that foul ball. Who wouldn't want a foul ball hit by Tom Selleck? That's awesome. Striking out in the at bad in the bottom of the eighth inning. But he did appear at a spring training game. How about. Thank you, DB I have seen some of the highlights. What about. I'm just throwing this out there, but do you remember Brendan Frazier? I'm sorry, Brendan Fraser in the Scout 1994. Yeah. And did you mention your favorite Mr. Destiny? Rich. I know you're a big fan of that Jim Belushi. Great movie. I love that movie. As a kid. Mr. Destiny. I know Rich was a big fan. I was saying there's like five. 1990. There's only like five people I know that love Mr. Destiny. I thought that was such a good movie. I rented that movie as a kid a lot. Know why? Plus John Lovett's in that movie. Such a. It's a good one when you think of it's his friend. Clip. Here's why I want you to think of these fictional characters too. Because a lot of times when I think about some of the weak ass movies we watched growing up. Rich. And we loved them. A lot of times they didn't have the rights to the actual teams in uniform. So it was like generic Yankee guy. Yeah. Like your friends. Weak Halloween costume. Yeah. Like it was just the generic pinstripes with the blue hat. They couldn't even represent the Yankees in the proper way. So there was always that guy that stood out to you. He was like the big bad guy on the. On the opposing team. So who comes to mind? We'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Right now at 87799 on Fox. Josh in Ohio, we'll start with you as. As Ohtani looks like a movie star. Ohtani, who's your favorite actor playing a baseball player? So it's. It's my favorite because he plays the perfect Chicago Cub washed up pitcher, Chet the Rocket Steadman, played by Gary Busey and rookie Gary Busey. Buttered sausage. By the way, you know that's a fake clip, that buttered sausage clip. I thought that was real. What did you ruin that for me? I know we spot. Yeah. Viewed him and he is a wackadoo. I mean, everybody knows that he's a wacky dude. Talking about butter sausage. That clip that's gone viral is not a real clip. The way it was acting or he. It's. It's an. It's. No, it's CGI or it's someone with like a deep fake, like a filter. Really? Yeah. Oh, my. It's a comedian. A comedian that was on snl, but I thought it was real. Yeah. When. If you don't know what I'm about, there's a famous clip from maybe a year ago or so where it's Gary Busey and he's like, let's talk about buttered sausage. He's on some podcast or something and he's completely not a real clip. Over and over again that you can't believe anything on the Internet. Who else do we got? Bo in South Dakota. What's up, Bo? Hey, Bo. Hey, boys. So I got to say, Kenny Powers, Danny McBride. I retract my answer. Kelly Lee could take a hike. Kenny Powers has to be the winner. And you know what? Rich and I, not to brag, Fox Sports Radio Nation, but we've interviewed Danny McBride a few times, and you better believe that we both had him autograph a baseball that says Kenny Powers. I gave it to my brother for Christmas. Did you really? You gave that away? I gave that to my brother, Man. I'm gonna hang that up my man cave one day. I will say this the best. I mean, it's a different conversation, but I think maybe the best sidekick, funny guy in TV in the last decade might be Stevie from that show. Oh, we love Stevie. That chemistry between Stevie and Kenny Powers, it's unmatched. And I think that is the number one answer because I absolutely loved it. I'm still waiting to maybe rewatch that. Some people say you're my Stevie. Oh, you think so? I don't know. Let's go to Montana, Dave. All the way down in my plumes. What's up, buddy? Doing got a couple here. You mentioned Kurt Russell, for starters. He actually was a professional ballplayer. He played for the Portland Mavericks. Yeah. Back in the 70s. Dad on the team. You ever get a cheap. Yeah, he's dad and Bing Russell on the team. If you ever get a chance to see, and I hope I can say this, the Battered Bastards of Baseball. I love it. Excellent documentary. You have not mentioned Chris Pratt, Seattle boy, Moneyball. Oh, dude, that's a really good one. By the way. Two great answers. He's absolutely right about that documentary. So when you're done watching the White Lotus finale, the Battered Bastards of whatever it's called. Fantastic movie. It's actually a documentary about Kurt Russell and his dad and that baseball team and how he played. And again, just a great one. You know what, we'll take the rest of your answers next. We'll wrap this up. We got other things to move on to. But Ohtani in the news today because the president giving him some props, saying he looked like a movie star. And it also, Ohtani, it also happens to be the anniversary of major league and of course the sandlot. So, hey, big baseball day. Shohei Ohtani. And I heard that Dan Patrick clip right there and I was telling Rich the same thing earlier. That whole long term, 14, 15 year deal thing is for the birds. Talk to me in 10 years when he's playing like an old Albert Pool Holtz, like his feet hurt. You know what I mean? Like, get out of here with that. I know you don't care because it's not your money, but you're going to care when that dude is a liability and he's old and overweight. Well, first of all, it's not my money. For me, he has a Mets fan. Soto, you can say if you're a Blue Jays fan, Soto for 15 years. He looks six months pregnant in the off season this year. So when he's looking, when he's looking like Bartolo Colon in five years, tell me if that's a good deal. But cove, aren't these teams just hoping and banking on the fact that hopefully they'll get one World Series or two titles out of it and then it pays for itself. That's what they're hoping for. Two is a pipe dream. I'm a Mets fan in my 40s. One World Series when I was a schoolboy. My daughter is like, dad, have the Mets ever won the championship? I told them when I was your age, The Mets get one. They're big dreaming, bro. Though in 15 years they're like, we got to get two in 15, right? If they get one, I'd be the happiest little boy. I'd be like, they're happier than Pinocchio. Yeah. Well, guess what? I would. The Dodgers have sho hail Tiny. So until he's already giving him one. Yeah. Shohei Ohtani until he's off the team. The Mets. Yeah. Good luck. I'm just saying. I don't care. It's not my money. There's no salary cap in baseball. But you still stuck with that guy for 15 years. And now the Blue Jays are stuck with a 26 year old Vlad Jr. But he's going to be 40 by the end of that contract. Again, I don't worry about what listen. Yeah, but it's detrimental to the team in the future. Ask the Cardinals. Ask the Yankees who held on to Jeter. As much as I love Jeter, that did hold them back from moving forward because they were. They were so tied into that contract. As much as Kobe Bryant is loved out here in LA and other. Listen. And not only was he one of the greatest when he passed away in such tragic nature, his legacy only grew. Right. But there was a time where a lot of Lakers fans, they forget because they think of Kobe only fondly now. There was a time where there were Lakers fans that thought the end of his contract was holding the organization well and he didn't ask for it. Jeannie Buss gifted that to him. It was like her version of a gold watch to him. And you know, congrats to them too for making that happen. I think it's important to keep those legacies alive with one team. I think that's nice. But that's a very long time, guys. 15 years, 14 years. Give me a break. I have a rude and I have a rude analogy, but it's on the long. It's along the lines of what you and Dan Patrick agree on. Yeah. These long contracts, it. They're too. It's like. It's like marrying. It's like marrying a swimsuit model in her prime and you know, she has bad eating habits. And you're like, sounds rude, but like that's like so rude but you know what I mean? Or like, like genetic like you Should I just stop this one? No. Digging yourself deeper and deeper. He's losing his mind and we're reaping all the benefits. I'm just saying what you're really trying to say. What Covino's saying and what Dan Patrick saying without Saying it is. You're just hoping that by signing Soto, who you said is gonna be Bartolo Colon in 10 years. So aren't you saying the same thing? And you know, let's be honest. What does her mom look like? A slugger, but a thicker slugger. Like a Vladi Jr. You're saying good luck when they're 40. What you're really saying is like, you married the pain in the ass girl who doesn't work out. She's just like, young. So it's like, what are you going to get when she's older? That's all. Rude. Maybe I'll just shut up now. How many years I'm looking this up because this is crazy. You want to feel old for a second? Do you know Prince Fielder's son is already like on the draft market? Wait, the third one? The third Prince Fielder thrice son, his son. So I'm saying Prince Fielder was a big dude and he was a stellar player. Right. Retired with the same amount of home runs as his dad, Cecil. I think 309 or something like that. Over 300 home runs. Isn't the fun fact that they have the same number of career home runs? Prince played 12 seasons in the big leagues. Grand opening, grand closing. You're going to tell me Vlad Jr. Who's weighing in at a good 260 probably right now is going to last 14 years. I don't know. I hope so. Look, it's a win for the player, but for the organization who I don't care about, but for the fans, you're stuck with that guy. I'm coming from the fan perspective. There's pros and cons to it. Hey, look, props to the player getting, you know, getting his money. Looky, Stevie boy. You know what they're everyone trying to do and the reality is that everyone's trying to do an LA Rams. And what did the Rams do? A lot of teams have tried this, but the Rams successfully went all in. Remember, they went all in and they won a Super Bowl. And listen, they're back sooner than people thought now, looking competitive. They got puka and, you know, Stafford still there, but there was a point where if you're a Rams fan, you had to say, we went all in, won a Super Bowl. Good. I don't care if we sort of sting for a little while. We. We did it. We did it. And if you told me the Mets won a World Series in the next, let's say five years because Soto, Lindor and Alonzo in their prime won one, I Don't care if they don't win another one. For 20 years I've been waiting since I was peeing my bed. I was a little boy when the mets won an 86. Give me one. I don't care if Sotos is slug when he's 35, 40 years old. Doesn't matter. All right. I mean, there's a few ways to look at it. I appreciate that and I respect that. It just seems like such a long. I agree. 14, 15 years. But then again, we're not seeing a lot of players stay with one team. So again, I don't want to talk out of both sides of my mouth because I do like the player with one team. And the loyalty, we rarely see that in today's world. Let me give you an analogy. In our world, that's a long, long contract to give somebody. Let me give you an analogy. In our world, would it be weird to give a radio or TV personality or podcaster a long deal like Kavino? You know what you're getting with Soto. We know. You know, Fox knows what they're getting with Kavino. Richard, Rob Parker, this person. Is there a length where you're like, I don't know if they'll be funny, then I don't know if they'll be entertaining, then there's contract extensions that only go so far in media, you don't know. You don't know if this personality is going to be as good in 10 years. They do it in every industry. So I get what you're saying. 15 years is a long time to assume that they'll be as good as what they do then. But congrats. You want to sign the best artist to a 20 year music deal? No way. So that's the Vladdy, though. Not hating, just stating. Yeah, Monday championship, Monday night. Yeah, it is. That was White Lotus. The finale was great, man. I loved it. I thought it was really good. Danny G, did you see it? No, I'm a couple episodes behind. No one say anything. There's a lot of people complaining about loose ends. There was a lot of loose ends, but maybe that, maybe that's brought up in season. Don't say anything else but spot that doesn't want it to be ruined. Danny, you and I are watching a show. Million Dollar Secret. Million Dollar Secret. So good. So good. Well, hope you had a, I would say women's Yukon sort of weekend, a Minecraft weekend, a Vlad Jr. Weekend. Lakers weekend. Lakers knocking down 22 three pointers weekend. Making a statement against OKC. I got one how about this? I know you love to shout out people. How about a Raphael Devers weekend? The guy's back to batting like 260 or 270. He got hot. And it just shows how baseball. Oh, God, it's the most frustrating thing. Dan Byer, I know you're a big golfer, and sometimes someone could get so hot or so cold on the golf course, one little adjustment in their swing can make all the difference. And that's what makes golf frustrating. Correct. Oh, gosh, that is so true. That is so true. If you find something, there is really no greater feeling. I mean, in your swing. Yeah, that's it. You're exactly right. And I'm sure in baseball, Rafael Devers, who, remember, he started over 19 with 15 strikeouts. Think of that. Over 19 with 15 strikeouts to start the season, and he's already batting, I believe, 260 something already. That's insane. Which means he went that cold to that hot. I saw at one point yesterday the Red Sox had the double header in one of the games. He was four for four. So it's like just baseball. Just. It's as frustrating and as rewarding as possible could be in the world of sports. We're also going to talk about Shador Sanders and Baker Mayfield this hour and whatever we don't have time for again over promises our bonus show catch on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. You promised, Rich. We talk about airplane do's and don'ts. Yeah. And then stadium do's and don'ts as a result. Now, we always go over these viral stories and these stupid stories that stand out to us. Does everybody remember Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child? Of course. Now, it's very random. I acknowledge that. But she's in the news because she was sitting next to a person on her airplane who took his shoes off and she shared the pic. Like, she's like, who does this stuff? And you see this too often where it's like, do people not realize they're overstepping barefoot? Can I call out someone that works here? Because I love them and I think they're kind and I've only had good interactions. And I hope that continues after the statement right here. Rich. I don't know. It might end right now. Him and I get along every time we hang out, but every time I see Levar Arrington in this studio, his dogs must be barking. His bare feet are right there. Camino, right near your microphone. I know he keeps his Cheetos right here by the mic. I mean, listen, I guess when you're a big guy like Lavar. Not many people tell you. No, that's probably it. Like I'm not going to tell. I mean, we hung with him at the Super Bowl. No one brings the party and the fun like Olvar, but I don't think anyone has really said to him like, put him away. He's known for having his dogs out right here on the console, everywhere. When we were at the super bowl, he's in the lobby with his feet up, no shoes on in the lobby, just chilling. But I guess like you said, when you're as big as he is and you're a former pro bowler, you can do what you want. Michelle Williams again share this picture and it's just some dudes barefoot, like in her personal space on an airplane. And you see that, like I said too often. So it makes shack looking toes what people do, guys. And it's, it's like those Kevin Durant bad boys. It's the gross habit of what people do is they put their feet up and like I'm not kicking the chair ahead of me, but they put their foot in between the two chairs. So on your armrest, if you look a little back, some people have their, their bare tootsies on your armrest. Line crossing to me. Or if you're in the window seat, you'll look, you'll look to the left of you by the window or the right of you by the window and you see someone's toenails. I think you're allowed to give them a judo chop if you see them in your personal space like that. So before we get into stadium do's and don'ts. What are some other airplane do's and don'ts? I know so many people are so particular about what annoys them when they're on a flight. There's like, there's like five things and I'll zip through them and you tell me if I'm missing anything. Okay, good. Keep your feet, keep your shoes on. No, no, no. Tootsies out. You know what? I take my shoes off, but I'm not putting them in people's faces because your feet will swell with the altitude change. Yeah. So you would take your. Yeah, you take your feet, your shoes off so you can kind of just have clean socks on. Timeout time. Not stinky feet. I agree. Make sure you don't got stank foot. But also feet swelling that big of an issue. I was. Yeah. You didn't know that. If you have your laces tied. Yeah, you feel the swell. Don't you. Haven't you ever tried to put your shoes on at the end of the flight and you're like struggling to get your feet in your shoes? I also notice it when I'm trying to zip up. You know, I feel like, why is it so swollen? That's just from eating all the. Eating all the popcorn and the cookies and the snacks. Oh, my goodness. You know, I was talking about his belly. Lots of. Lots of sodium in those guts. What are you talking about? No, but. All right, so hold on. Apparently, foot swelling, bigger issue than I thought. But keep your. Too much salt on the flav. Yeah. What did you guys have those extra salty chips? Yeah, those blue chips, man. Three packs of pretzels. Those. What are those cookies called? The Biscoff. Yeah, the Biscoff. Yeah. So good for at least 40 of those. Keep your socks on, number one. Number two, don't bring smelly food. Don't have it. Don't bring a tuna sandwich or the leftover Tupperware of salmon. That's a real good one. On a flight. I was sitting next to Tim Salmon. I was sitting next to a girl, no joke, had a full size pizza box in her lap and was like trying to balance it. And then she was like getting drinks, trying to balance the pizza box. Oh, you mean the Zapai family. Yes, the Zapai family. And like, I'm like. And it's reeked like garlic. Yeah. That last Vegas boxing trip that our show took, there was a girl in the row in front of us and she opened up a tuna fish sandwich. Yeah. Don't be doing that. I don't understand that. Beat it with that. I'm with you on that. Any other plane ride. Do's and don'ts, Airline do's and don'ts. I think based on what you said with food, even if you think your food smells good when you're not eating it, you don't want to smell it. Like, there's people that come on with like a bag of burger King or McDonald's or something from the food court, and they think, oh, how could this be offensive? I promise you, no one wants to smell greasy fast food on the plane. So no food. Keep your feet covered. This is a real controversial one. There's always a story about some fight that broke out because someone expects you to trade seats with their nose picking kid. Nope. But like, what if you really wanted that ILC or that window seat for a reason? A work reason, sleep reason, comfort reason. Are you supposed to switch seats just because this Nose picking family was irresponsible with their booking of the trip. I don't know. The only time I will switch a seat is if it's for a better section. Yeah. So if I'm in economy and you're in premium economy, I'm taking. I'm not getting middle aisle because you sit next to your kid. When I turn 40, I demand now sitting on the aisle because I'm going to get up at least four times. Same spot needs at least two first round picks. I drink a lot of coffee. Don't put people in a weird awkward situation to be mean. I guess I paid for that seat. I think you're legally allowed to sit next to your kid until they turn a certain age. However, three years old, I'll switch seats with someone. If they're like, hey, I'm aisle or window up there, switch with me. Yeah, who cares? But I'm not taking a middle seat. So that's the compromise. If you tell me like, but it makes you feel like a jerk because you're not willing to do that. If some guy tells me, hey, I'm like two rows ahead of you in the same seat, switch at me so I could sit next to my friend or wife. Of course. Why would you not. People have a major, major hang up on being the first person up when the plane lands. Hold. Oh my God. Hold your horses. You landed. You're not going anywhere for 15 minutes. Sometimes you need to just get up and stretch a little bit. You're the guy that does it. No, I don't go jetting down the aisle. I don't understand. I'm the ultimate warrior. You're. I just want to stand up for a little bit. You just. I can't. I don't, I don't. Running down the aisle. You just sat for six hours. Is five more minutes really going to destroy you? You know, I was going to say back to your other conversation of the. The middle seat swapping. Yeah. We were late for a plane once on Southwest. Me, my wife, and at the time, I, our two year old son. So we had to. I completely understand your frustrations. The problem is I can't stand the person. And it's not everyone who verbally announces that they are not moving. Where. Where it's. I'm not moving. Exactly. Making a big deal. Not me. Sorry. Not me. That is who annoys me. Like, it's awful. I was willing to venmo this girl moved a seat. I'm like, I'll Venmo you 100 bucks. You know, totally, totally fine for doing that because they're all. We were the last ones on the plane. Yeah. It's overly kind, though. I've never seen that offer ever. I would have absolutely done it. But what made it worse was just the. The other lady in the aisle who was just. She was not gonna move and she was gonna let you know about it. Not my suit. Yes, Dan. I think it's so weird. That's why if you gave Cavino money, he'd sit in the bathroom the entire time. Dan. I'll say this, the other option. I almost want to tell those people in that scenario if I were you, like, all right, well, if you want to sit next to my two year old the whole time, have them take them. I mean, I'm trying. Come on. So, all right, do's and getting up when the plane lands. Stop it. We go. Unless your flight's going to take, like, your next flight is going to take off. Like, I had to be that guy because I had like 11 minutes to make my connecting call and I was like, please. I got to. I got to get in front of the plane. But usually they will announce that they'll say, please stay. People can get by. No, I. Back up, Sam. If you. The rare occasion, if you're the person that needs to do transfer, people won't honor that on the plane because they're selfish. So you do need to run immediately. Well, you got to be like, hey, I'm sorry, my next flight's in like 28 minutes. And so, like, you got to kind of whisper to people, like, just please get out of my way. You know? But here's another one for you guys. This hasn't happened to me. But who has the gall to take their massively long hair and flop it over the seat into the one in the back so it covers. It covers the tv. Covering my tv. I'm trying to watch something inappropriate and you're covering it with your hair. Is. Your hair is in my snack. What is going on here? I've seen that a lot. Respect my space, do's and don'ts. And I jokingly said I'm watching something inappropriate. You probably shouldn't be doing it in a public space. And usually when you rent a movie on a fight, it will say, this. This movie features adult scenes. Be mindful of people around you. Big pet. I'm all about plane etiquette and people disrespect it all the time. But the zipper exit. You know how everyone stands up. So we just talked about that when People stand up. They assume, oh, I stood up first. That means I get to leave the plane first. No, no, no. We're leaving row by row by row by row. So if you're in the back of the plane, you're going to stand the whole time? That's up to you. That's why it's not worth getting up, because I am putting. I put my foot in the row. Yeah. Like, spots a bit much with it. No, I put my foot in the row. I'm like, you're not getting. You're not going in front of me. And I get up and I get my bag, even if I'm sitting. And the rows are usually off centered a little. So you know who is next in line to get up and leave the plane? I have. It's frustrating. I have a couple more quickies. All right. Overhead space is fair game. Yes. It doesn't have to be above your seat. One of my favorite stories ever, though, because you hear how arrogant spot is about air travel etiquette. One time. This is my fate. One of my favorite stories of all time. That's how much I love this spot. Who's Mr. Arrogant? Air traveler? Very arrogant. Some old lady. Spot put his overhead above her row, which is fair game. Like I said, you don't have to put your bags above your own, which I think it was like the row in front of me, it was fill up. You can't always put your bag above your seat. Fill up. Yeah. Using the wheelie cupboards. Yeah. But like, amateur travelers don't know this stuff. They don't know this stuff. So this little old lady who I think lived in a shoe. Old biddy. This little old lady in a shoe. Brought her shoe with her. Old Mother Hubbard. That's somebody's grandmother. I don't care. Old Mother Hubbard lived in a cupboard. I think my grandmother would never. She opened the overhead. There's no space for my bag, and I'm sitting here. She took Spot's bag down and threw it in the aisle. What? And then she didn't. She called me. She said something. She called me a hooligan. Yeah. She's like, that's my space. Her. And then she threw my bag across the way out of seat. I saw red. I saw red. Unless her man would have kicked her in the face. Any other do's and don'ts. By the way, we're bringing this up because there was a stupid viral story of. Of Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams with a. Someone's bare foot was in her Space on an airplane. And she took a photo of it and posted it. And it was like a Shaq Fu kind of foot. It really was like a Shaquille O'Neal sort of foot. You know what LeBron toes our buddy Michael. Yo, awesome comedian. Good pal of ours. Yeah. He said he's got a problem. When short people take the exit row. You don't need the leg room that, you know, that is a little annoying. But, hey, you snooze, you lose, you know, I will say this, though. I'm. I. You may disagree with me here. The seats recline for a reason. Yes. I'm not going to. I'm not going to go. There are a lot of hot takes out there. I'm not going to Islam. They recline two centimeters. Listen, I'm not going to. Erratically. Not erotically erratically. Or both. Slam back the ceiling. Don't recline. You can't anywhere. It's like. But then a lot of arguments on planes happen because people's feet or something else push the recline chair. I saw. I think it was on Reddit. Like a Reddit post. Like the aita. I won't say that what it stands for, but like, where someone's laptop screen broke because they had their laptop open, the person reclined and it cracked, and they're like, who's responsible? That's a design flaw. Yeah. Of both the seat and the laptop. It is. And the train. Because you have such little space that you tuck it into the seat and then it slams back. Like, I don't even use the recline often at all because people get so hot and bothered with it. But the fact is that they designed it for that reason. The right. Yeah, you have the right to recline. It's literally like two inches. And it's not even enough to really make you feel comfortable. Not to sound. That's what she said. Hey, can I give a tip? Cheap skate, tip of the day. Not to sound rude, but if you are a bigger person, tall or hefty, like, that's where you maybe find yourself in the exit row. Or pay a couple bucks extra to get the bigger row or seat or something. Like, you can't. You can't go in row 34, middle seat, and be like, I'm a big guy. What do you want? Like, that's. You can't be 64250 and be like. And be aggravated. You're in the middle. Brad Jr. And Expecting. Yeah. So, Rick, soda to wrap it up. Yeah. This is do's and don'ts is it okay if you're sleeping? Can I get your snow snack? Can I? If you're sleeping on a plane, can I be like, yeah, he'll take the Biscoff cookies? I do that sometimes because I do that all the time. I think that's a great move. What about when you're sleeping at taking a red eye and all the windows are closed and there's one open? I close it. Yeah, you have to. Men. I will reach if people on the window fall asleep. And I'm trying. Because you can't watch a movie. No, because the screen is just lit up and blown out. I will reach over the person. I'll close the window if they're asleep. Speaking of reaching over, I agree that if there are windows open, you have every right to be like, hey, bud, do you mind closing the window? Like, be kind. Right. Any time of day. Here's the other question. This could be awkward. Burgers. As we say, imagine you're sitting window seat and you got to use the restroom. Like, you can't wait. You're thinking, I can't wait because then I got to get off the plane. I can't wait. I got to go on the plane. But the middle seat person is sleeping. Do you wake them up or do you awkwardly, like, try to hover over them? Because what if they wake up and you're like mid hover over them? You got your butt in their face. Which way do you hover over? Face to face, like, what's up? That's so awkward. The considerate thing is actually face someone when you have to. Like at a game, you're in the seats, you're supposed to face people. A lot of people will do the old butt cruncheroo. This is why I sit on the aisle, to avoid that. Exactly. I will wake people. You gotta wake people up. You gotta wake them up. All right, so based on that climb over them, I want you to start thinking about the stadium do's and don'ts. Are your ears bored? Yeah. Are you looking for a new podcast that will make you laugh? Learn and say que? Yeah. Then tune in to locatora radio season 10 today. Okay. I'm Diosa. I'm Mala, the host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a mini series, totally nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to locatora radio season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. I'm excited to introduce a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. I'm having conversations with folks across a wide range of industries to hear how they reach the top of their fields and the lessons they learned along the way that everyone can use. I'll be joined by innovative leaders like chairman and CEO of Elf Beauty, Tarang Amin. The way I approach risk is constantly try things and actually make it okay to fail. I'm sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and philanthropist Jewel. I wanted a way to do something that I loved for the rest of my life, life. We're also hearing how leaders brought their businesses out of unprecedented times, like Stefan Bonsell, CEO of Moderna. It becomes a human decision to decide to throw by the window your business strategy and to do what you think is the right thing for the world. Join me as we uncover innovations in data and analytics, the math, and the ever important creative spark, the magic. Listen to math and magic stories from the frontiers of Marketing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is that. I thought it was. Oh, this is Fighting Words. Okay, I put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a best selling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we are doing on Fighting Words. We're not going to let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of black history or queer history. Any history that challenges the whitewashed norm or put us in a box. Black people have never ever depended on the so called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations. But most people avoid them. Staying silent, missing opportunities and holding themselves back. I know this is true because I used to be one of those people. As a kid, I struggled to fit in and I was afraid to speak. Speak up. That fear followed me into adulthood until I realized something powerful. Negotiation isn't a talent. It's a skill anyone can learn. And it starts with negotiating with yourself, breaking through fear, self doubt, and the limits we place on ourselves. Now I help people from all walks of life, whether it's people closing multi million dollar deals, parents setting boundaries, students finding their voice, or professionals advancing their careers. If you want to handle tough conversations, get what you deserve and take control of your future, this podcast is for you. I'm Kwame Christian, host of Negotiate Anything, the number one negotiation podcast in the world where you'll learn one simple truth. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate. Listen to Negotiate anything on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape. Lodged in the player on that tape were 10 vile. No, no no no no no no no no. Off grotesque. Oh my God. Oh my God. Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You know, we're having so much interaction today between the baseball acting topic and Ohtani and now this plane etiquette and ball game etiquette. We might have to push last one standing till tomorrow. Well, hang tight because we're going to wrap up this conversation. We have plenty of games, plenty of time, plenty of prizes to give away. But based on the plain etiquette story with Michelle Williams, Destiny's Child, it got us thinking. There's plain etiquette. We love talking about that because you really could separate the seasoned travelers from the amateur weak ass travelers that don't know what's going on. You see it the minute you get to security, you know, security line, like, ah, geez Louise, come on. Sorry. You got your belt on. You ever noticed someone making a mistake? This guy's about to walk through the metal detector with five necklaces on like he's right, like he's Flavor Flav. Rich the worst one, you didn't mention it. And you're apparent like me. How about the ones who bring a small child or. Or children on a plane, and they don't pay attention to their own kids, and they just let them scream obnoxiously, and they're not paying attention. They're not pacifying their kid. Kids are not a free pass to disregard humanity. No. Like, Brendan and I are so, like, crazy about pacifying coa and making sure he's good. And. Same same at the restaurant, too. Yes, same thing applies. And if he's fussing, we get up, we take him out, or we pick him up, or we give him a snack, we do something to make sure he stops the crying immediately. And that's all a normal passenger or person wants to see, that you're at least trying, because I think that there's also a lack of understanding sometimes from people. And what are you supposed to do when your little kid is having ear issues or whatever on the plane? I think all you want to see. And you guys both nailed it. If the dad. If the mom or dad's walking up and down the aisle, like, patting the kid, like, oh, settle down. Yeah. Versus there's parents that just look the other way. And you're like, yeah, they're apathetic. You don't want that. I saw a mom a couple flights ago. I saw a mom watching a movie on her iPad, and her kid was screaming, going. And she was just oblivious. Yeah, that's the worst. You know, I saw a great parent move. If you're traveling with your kids for the first time, this has become a trend. You make, like, you make a couple goodie bags, and you hand them to the people around you. Yeah. Put a kit Kat in there, maybe. Maybe some candy or a little earplugs, and, you know, say, hey, listen, traveling for the first time. Apology in advance. Here's a little goody opium. You give them booze, little shooters. If a kid kicks my seat, I'm kicking him in the face. That's. That's spot, everybody. Just so you know. Yeah, spot. All right, now, based on the plane etiquette, stadium and game etiquette. Because it seems like once the booze starts flowing at the stadium, people start to forget about the etiquette that's also involved. So what comes to mind? And what are your rules on being the guy that starts the wave or doesn't participate in the wave? Rich? I wasn't even thinking of the wave. But you know where I was thinking first? Yeah. Because I'm Kind of like, come on with the wave, dude. Listen. Blowout. Sometimes those are the type of things that keep the crowd alive. And like I was gonna say. But sometimes it is kind of fun. We've been at stadiums where there's a boring fight. Yeah. And some guys doing funny. Chance gets everyone involved. That is fine. But what are the rules? I got some rules. Rules. I don't know why this is the case with movie theaters and stadiums. Clean up after yourself. I'm not saying you need to pick up every little peanut shell, but I'm amazed how people have a Dodger Dog or soda and they just throw it on the floor like they're like, it's a pig style. Also, we've seen people urinate in the sink. We're like, really? What is going on? And Rich is right. What about. What is it about stadiums and movie theaters where we're like, yeah, we're just gonna litter and leave it here? I don't get it. Like, if I have a hot dog and a soda or a beer, I'm. I'm gonna throw my trash in the garbage can. That's just become the way for whatever reason. Let's be better there at least. And don'ts. How about the slob that's always caught on social media? Like drinking a beer out of a hot dog or something gross like that? You always see something like that. Or someone's dipping their chicken fingers into the soda. Or you always see something weird like that. I would say that's a stadium. Don't. I'll give you one. Unless you're trying. Unless you're desperately trying to go viral. Um. Don't be the person that FaceTimes or is on speakerphone for more than 10 seconds. Oh, I got another one. Don't be the jabroni who's pretending to have good seats so you really have nosebleeds, but you go all the way down to the front just to get that picture and potentially steal someone else's seat. You're a seat stealer, but what you're doing is trying to brag on social media. You're doing it for the gram. Acting like you're a baller in the front row when really you're not. I got another. I could keep going on for days. This is ballpark etiquette now. The big stadium do's and don'ts. Stadium do's and don'ts. Much like the airplane. I get it. You're at a ball game. I'm okay with people throwing out a couple swear words. Here and there. But if you're sitting next to a bunch of families, it's. You know what it's called, Danny? You're a trash bag. You ever hear people that don't know how to read the room? Yeah. If you're in the bleachers around another a bunch of adults. It's alcohol, man. That's different. It is. They just lose all etiquette when there's moms and little kids around you. You shut up. You don't need to use all those curse words. He's the same. A hole that'll snag a baseball from a little kid. Like, I can't tell you how many times you see a major league player trying to toss it to like a little girl or a little boy they're playing catch with and some beer guzzling idiot with a beer helmet on snags the ball from them. Seems some seen some of those guys push kids. I like that. I'll tell you why I like that. Because usually those people are exposed on social media and they're embarrassed and I should. I saw just recently it was. Aren't you embarrassed? It was pregame. Yeah, that is a good Sebastian Maniscalco. Like, aren't you embarrassed stealing a baseball from a kid? Why would you do that? Why would you do that? I saw it wasn't the Paul Skeens having a catch with the kid. I thought that was a cool moment. It was another one, but the baseball player was very clear. Like, you little boy tossing it to you. Some jabroni, some big fat meathead steals it and he then falls, grabs the ball and like walks away. I'm like that. You should be so embarrassed of yourself. Don't do that. Honestly, I think you deserve a punch in the face if you do that. How about when your whole section sits down but there's the one jabroni that stays standing right in front of you and he's £300. I always think of the Woody Woodpecker cartoon you remember when like he's sitting there trying to watch the ball game, but there's a guy with a cowboy hat in front of him. So he finally takes the cowboy hat off and then his hair is shaped like that. That's. Read the room. That's when you mow their. You got to mow their hair down. Danny. I'm, I'm, I'm big on reading the room in those scenarios because I also don't want to kill the enthusiasm of a playoff game or a big moment. But I feel this way at concerts Too on the floor, people clearly are standing. But if you have, like, a side angle of the stage, a lot of times during certain songs, people are sitting, having their drink, chilling, getting the vibe going. If you are in the front and everyone else in your section sounds. You almost then have to be like, all right, I'm one with my section. You can't be the one person that's like, let's go, Eagles. When everyone around you is like, dude, take a seat. It's a third quarter with eight minutes left. No one else is standing. Like, I read the room. Stadium do's and don'ts. We'll wrap it up with your phone calls now at 877-99-ON FOX. Again, we're Cavino and Rich. Hope you had a great weekend. Who do you want to start with? Oh, I have one more. Go ahead. I hope I'm not offending anyone in this room. I'm sure you are. Don't wear. Oh, boy. The jersey of a team that's not participating. Oh, that's the. I don't care if you're offending anybody. I'm with you. That's so random and weird. If you go to a Dodgers Padres game and a Cardinals fan rolls up, you're wearing your old school pool holsters. Out of my face with that. I don't know why that bothers me. What's Your John Tudor 1987 jersey? Get out of my face. You know, let's go real quick. Donald. In mar. In maro. You don't have Aussie Smith fans here for no reason. Wait a minute. Hi, Donald. Danny. Hey, buddy. How we doing, guys? Nobody knows about etiquette more than me, right? Okay, I. I am the definition of etiquette, right? This is the worst impression ever. It's worse than mine. I keep. Well, keep going. The. But I was at the Met game, right? We all know I'm the number one Met fan. I'm from Queens. I'm a big Met fan. And this lady was chanting louder than Rosie O'Donnell after an Indian meal. And she was chanting, let's go, Mets. Right? And the security came. The security came, right? And they said, you gotta go, right? And then everyone else, all these New Yorkers started chanting, let's go, Mets. Right? Thank you, bud. Thank you. Thank you. Eric in Vegas. What's up, Eric? Hey, Eric. Hey, how you guys doing? What's up? All right, you took mine on the sitting versus standing, but another one is a miserable fan. You're paying a lot of money to have a good time with the Family. You always. We got season tickets, but there's always those fans that are just trashing the team or the coach or the decisions. They're annoying to be next to. Yeah, they are. Oh, Dave Roberts sucks. Yeah. He just won a World Series, and you signed them for more years. So relax. Especially when you're there with, like, a new set of eyeballs, like, your kid or a kid or, like, a dad or something. Like, you don't want that. Negative. And if one of your players is having an off day, a bad game, I hate the overreaction of certain fans around you. That's why they need to cut them. It's like, calm down, man. Did you see that viral clip over the weekend at the Pirates Yankees game when there was some guy, they were like, you're a bomb judge. You effing suck. And you hear it in the background. And then he hits a home run right afterward, which I love. But, yeah, man, people get real inappropriate. I got one fantastic one. I think everyone in this room will agree, and they'll go to Dan Buyer. Nothing bothers me more than when the pitcher simply steps off the mound and people go, book, Book. No, the damn rule. Like, I don't know why that bothers me so much. This. What about the friend that comes back with a whole thing of, like, snacks and treats but doesn't offer up and anything? Isn't that. They never even offered a hot. Hey, man, you could have told me you were getting a hot dog. I would have got one. Isn't that you? That is me. Sometimes. I remember we went to a bowl game once, and Kavino asked his brother, like, for something really good, like, yo, can you get me a sausage or a Smash burger or something good? His brother goes, yeah, I decided to get you. And he got you, like, some whack treat instead, dude. Yeah, he got me the weakest stuff. He's like, they weren't selling that here, yo. So here's cotton candy. I got your Milk Duds. I was gonna say Milk Duds. I don't want Milk Duds. I got you Whoppers. I asked for chicken tendies. He got you Red Vines. Yeah. I'm like, what is this? All right, let's go to damn Buyer for an update. We'll wrap your calls next. What's up, DB I don't know if you guys feel this responsibility, but let's say there's a row of seats one through 20. If I'm in 11 and 12, I'm like, one bathroom break. And at that break, I am Getting concessions. Like, I will limit myself so I'm not interrupting the everybody else if I'm in seat 2 or 3 or 19 and 20 at the edge and carte blanche for whenever you want to leave. But if I know I'm in the middle of a row, yeah. I will take it upon myself to say, I can't disrupt these people all the time. I'm going to leave once, get my stuff, go to the bathroom and come back and that's it. That's good etiquette. That's a really good one. I was at a Mets playoff game when the Dodgers whooped their ass last year. And I remember my buddy and I, the whole joke was there was a woman that got up probably every inning and everyone's like, where's she going? Every inning? Yeah. I love that in tb, some of the rude people, they'll kick your drinks and things by your feet. They're not even even aware of what they're walking through. I have a small bladder. I have to give up every inning. And now with cup holders like in front of you, it actually tightens the space to walk through. So I try to be cognizant of that. And you go, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. As you're getting by each person, you're a good man. Sorry. Tonight, hopefully we have a good game between Florida and Houston. College basketball's national championship on the men's side of things is settled in San Antonio. 8:50 Eastern Time tip. It's a little bit earlier than in years past. Adb, try to make it more viewer friendly. Yes. No chance of a blowout like the women's game. Right. This is going to be a lot closer, you would imagine. I would think so. Two point, right? Yeah. Because I was surprised. Yukon 82, 59 or whatever it was. I think tonight's gonna be a close game. Florida likes to play with them more uptempo style. We'll see if Houston can slow it down with them. Cool. We'll find out tonight. But Florida and Houston for college basketball's national championship again on the men's side. Are your ears bored? Yeah.

Thousands. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres.

I'll be joined by innovative leaders like chairman and CEO of Health Beauty, Tarang Amin. The way I approach risk is constantly try things and actually make it okay to fail. I'm sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and philanthropist Jewel. I wanted a way to do something that I loved for the rest of my life. We're also hearing how leaders brought their businesses out of unprecedented ties. Like Stephane Bonsell, CEO of Moderna. It becomes a human decision to decide to throw by the window your business strategy and to do what you think is the right thing for the world.

Oh, this is Fighting Words. Okay, I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a best selling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we are doing on Fighting Words. We're not gonna let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of black history, queer history, any history that challenges the whitewashed norm or put us in a box. Black people have never ever depended on the so called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world History. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations. But most people avoid them. Staying silent, missing opportunities, and holding themselves back. I know this is true because I used to be one of those people. As a kid, I struggled to fit in and I was afraid to speak up. That fear followed me into adulthood until I realized something powerful. Negotiation isn't a talent. It's a skill anyone can learn. And it starts with negotiating with yourself, breaking through fear, self doubt, and the limits we place on ourselves. Now I help people from all walks of life, whether it's people closing multimillion dollar deals, parents setting boundaries, students finding their voice, or professionals advancing their careers. If you want to handle tough conversations, get what you deserve and take control of your future, this podcast is for you.

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque. Oh my God. Oh my God. Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, tonight you were talking about the big game tonight. Yeah, Florida. Houston. It's down to one point. Florida's favored by one, which is that really even a point spread? It might as well be a pick them. So I was at DraftKings sportsbook. Here's what I come up with. All right, cool. Feel me out here. Feel me out. Player. Two star players, Florida, Walter Clayton Jr. Okay, his over under a set of 21 points. Taking the over. L.J. crier, star player for Houston. His over under set at 18 points. I'll take the over. So essentially I'm just overs. Essentially, you're just betting on the two star players to have a big game. And that is 100, pace 210. I'm all about it. DraftKings sportsbook. Have fun with that. Oh, and I have another bet I want to make. Will I cry during one shining moment? Yes. Really? Yes. Every year I just get. Is it Luther's voice or is it the actual montage? Know what it is? It's that part where it's at the end. Not the. The ball is tipped. It's at the end when he goes all falsetto. One shining moment when he gets real high, you know? But then again, there haven't been many crazy highlights. I. I feel like the montages here. Danny G. Is going to be a little light. Other than that, Maryland's last second shot, have there been many, like, buzzer beaters? Duke losing. I know, but, like, how about the. The. The over the back call and Cooper flag? Yeah, I think. Oh, that was so. So what did the coach say? Bogus. Yes, bogus. And by the way, don't. Don't just brush over the fact that Duke lost. We all know that, but we talked about how that the White Lotus finale would line up perfectly with that. That if they lost, that meme would go viral, and it absolutely did. The second Duke lost, Danny G. Called. He's like, here come the memes. The prophecy was fulfilled. The prophecy was fulfilled. Mike White's a genius. The White Lotus meme of Tim Ratcliffe, Jason Isaac's character on the show with the gun to his head that wearing the Duke T shirt went viral, just like we thought it might. So. Well, I got to be honest with you guys. Yeah. During that game, I missed that game because I thought it was going to be. You know, I didn't think it would be that great of a game. That's when I took my kids to go see Minecraft. So when I was in the theater, I was. It was like the movie had wrapped up. I'm walking out. I'm like, ah, Duke's up by. You know, they're up by quite a bit. Minute left. Then I refresh my phone. Like, wait a minute. Huh? Wait a minute. And then, you know when you think, like, have you ever seen a score incorrect for a second on. On like, an app? And you're like, oh. Then it corrects itself. I was like, wait, no, they. They must have this wrong. There's no way. Duke, just refresh. What? So, yeah, that. If you're a Duke fan, that was probably the worst moment as a fan. Yeah. That's wild. So enjoy the game tonight. And to wrap up stadium do's and don'ts. I want to add one more. I want to add one more. We talked about it when Rodney Pete had his Glove at the game, remember? Yeah. Like, unless you're under the age of 12, 12 and under, you should not be bringing a glove to the stadium. That's one of my personal rules. If you're at a Little League, no glove to the stadium. Darius in Phoenix. What's up, Darius? What's up? Yeah, listen, I was going to get on that stadium at. Now, the thing is, when you guys come to the stadium, I'm a Diamondback fan. I'm in here in Diamondbacks. It's an open field. Before they walk in, they should have a little thing where you can clean your feet. I had a guy, let alone. I don't like it anyway. Putting your feet up behind my feet. Come on, man. That's the weakest. Yeah. Now, the bad thing about it, the one time it did happen to me, the guy happened to step in dog crap. Oh, poor Darius. Let me tell you, Darius is right. You got to be careful when it's staggered seating and your feet are by someone else's back or jacket. Don't be rubbing your dirty ass Jordans on someone's nice jacket. No, he's right about that. We'll wrap it up with Jason Stadium Do's and Don'ts. What's up, buddy? Hello. My big do and don't is knowing where your seat is before you walk up to the person actually sitting there and getting mad like they're in the wrong seat. Dude, that happens all the time. I know, but you always like, yeah, that's my seat. And then you realize it's not, and you feel like an a hole. This is 113. I thought it was 114. You know what? To tie the both conversations together. I've seen people on planes do this, and it's ultimately embarrassing. Like, the woman's like, aren't I in 16A? And she's like, oh, goodness, this isn't 16A. No, it's so clearly labeled. You know what? That's a great one to end on. It applies to the plane and at the stadium and whatever we didn't get to today. Last one standing. The difference between cockiness and confidence. There's a story about Shore, Sanders and Baker Mayfield. We'll get to that tomorrow on the show. So tomorrow's gonna be action packed, and we'll talk about the game tonight. Perfect. Until then, enjoy your national championship. Enjoy your Monday night. Until then, Mariva Di, baby.

Podcast Summary: The Herd with Colin Cowherd – "The Best Of Covino & Rich"
Episode Information:
The episode kicks off with hosts Cavino and Rich delving into a blend of sports commentary, pop culture references, and practical advice on etiquette in various settings. The discussion seamlessly transitions between analyzing sports figures and offering humorous takes on everyday situations.
Discussion Points:
President Trump's Praise: Cavino highlights a moment where President Trump referred to Shohei Ohtani as a "movie star," sparking conversations about Ohtani's charisma and off-field appeal.
Cavino (08:30): "Shohei Ohtani looks like a movie star. The guy's not only a superstar but also has the looks and charisma that could easily translate to Hollywood."
Ohtani's Achievements: They commend Ohtani's records and his membership in the prestigious 5050 club, emphasizing his dual-threat capabilities as both a pitcher and hitter.
Rich (11:15): "Ohtani shattered all those records last year. Being the first ever member of the 5050 club? That's historic."
Anniversary of Baseball Movies: The hosts celebrate the anniversaries of iconic baseball films like "Major League" (1989) and "The Sandlot" (1993), drawing parallels between Ohtani's star power and the memorable characters from these movies.
Cavino (14:50): "Today marks the anniversary of 'Major League' and 'The Sandlot.' If Ohtani can be a movie star, then we've got a shout-out to these classic films."
Discussion Points:
Best Movie Players: Cavino and Rich engage in a lively debate over which actor portrayed the most convincing baseball player in films. They reference characters from "The Natural," "Mr. Baseball," "Major League," and "The Bad News Bears."
Rich (19:05): "Honestly, if you have to choose, 'The Natural's Roy Hobbs was the most believable. The way his back was struck by lightning and he crafted a bat out of it – you almost believed he was real."
Cavino (22:20): "Tom Selleck in 'Mr. Baseball' did a great job. He hit a batting practice home run at Tiger Stadium. That's gotta count for something."
Actor Performances: They discuss the authenticity of performances by actors like Dennis Quaid, Gary Busey, and Tom Selleck, evaluating their ability to mimic real baseball mechanics and personas.
Rich (25:40): "Dennis Quaid was convincing when he played a gym teacher turned pitcher. Even if it's based on a true story, he brought authenticity to the role."
Cavino (28:10): "Gary Busey in 'Mr. Destiny' – not the smoothest swing, but he brought that wild energy that made the character unforgettable."
Audience Interaction: The hosts incorporate listener opinions, sharing favorite fictional baseball players and entertaining stories about actors' real-life baseball endeavors.
Rich (32:55): "Sean from LA mentioned Kurt Russell was the most convincing because he actually played semi-pro baseball. That's a strong point."
Discussion Points:
Common Pet Peeves: Cavino and Rich tackle frequent annoyances related to airplane behavior, such as passengers keeping shoes off en masse, smelly foods, and improper use of the limited space.
Cavino (36:00): "Someone took off their shoes and let their feet land right on my lap. Who does that?"
Rich (38:45): "Bringing smelly foods like tuna sandwiches or full-sized pizza boxes on a flight? That's a no-go."
Foot Swelling Awareness: They educate listeners on why feet swell during flights and encourage passengers to keep shoes on or manage their foot space respectfully.
Rich (40:30): "Feet swell up during flights due to altitude changes. If you're going to take your shoes off, make sure you're not invading someone's personal space."
Children on Flights: The hosts emphasize the importance of attentive parenting, discouraging neglectful behavior that disrupts fellow passengers.
Cavino (44:10): "Traveling with kids? It’s not a free pass to disregard those around you. Manage your child's behavior or step up to pacify them."
Practical Tips:
Rich (50:00): "Keep your shoes on and avoid placing your feet on another passenger's seat. It's basic manners."
Discussion Points:
Crowd Behavior: The conversation shifts to appropriate conduct within stadiums, covering everything from participating in the wave to managing trash and respecting fellow fans.
Cavino (56:20): "Joining the wave can invigorate the crowd, but don't be that guy who starts fights or disrupts the game with unruly behavior."
Rich (58:05): "Clean up after yourself. Don't litter like a pig. Dispose of your hot dog wrappers and soda cans properly."
Respecting Families and Children: Emphasis is placed on moderating language and behavior in sections populated by families and young fans.
Cavino (1:00:15): "If you're in a family zone, control your language. Save the swear words for appropriate settings."
Rich (1:02:40): "Abusing players or coaches publicly is not only disrespectful but also ruins the experience for others around you."
Social Media Conduct: They caution against over-the-top behaviors aimed at garnering social media attention, such as excessive trash-talking or mimicking players inappropriately.
Rich (1:10:50): "Trying to steal someone else's seat for a better Instagram shot? That's just obnoxious. Respect the seating arrangements."
Player Interactions: Discussion about fans interacting respectfully with players, discouraging actions like taking balls from children or showing inappropriate behavior towards athletes.
Cavino (1:05:30): "If a player is tossing balls to kids, be respectful and avoid snatching those balls for yourself."
Practical Tips:
Rich (1:12:00): "Remember, you're paying for a good time. Don't ruin it for everyone else by acting like a slob or a jerk."
Discussion Points:
Player Contracts: The hosts debate the merits and drawbacks of lengthy contracts in sports, drawing analogies to personal relationships and other industries.
Cavino (1:16:45): "Signing a player for 15 years is like marrying a swimsuit model in her prime without knowing her long-term habits. It's risky."
Rich (1:20:30): "But loyalty matters. Think of Kobe Bryant with the Lakers. A long-term commitment can build legacy, despite the risks."
Team Strategies: They discuss how teams balance the potential of star players against the uncertainty of their future performance and health.
Cavino (1:25:10): "Teams are banking on these long-term deals to deliver championships, but it's often a pipe dream. Two titles out of a 15-year contract? Unlikely."
Rich (1:28:00): "Look at the Mets. They've been stuck waiting for a World Series win for decades. Long contracts can tie teams down financially and strategically."
Economic Implications: Analysis of the financial impact on teams, especially in leagues without salary caps, and how it affects team flexibility and future planning.
Rich (1:30:20): "Without a salary cap, teams are basically gambling with their financial future when they sign long-term deals. It's a gamble that can backfire."
Listener Perspectives: Incorporating listener opinions, they highlight diverse viewpoints on player loyalty, team management, and the balance between personal gain and team success.
Cavino (1:33:15): "Listeners are split. Some admire the loyalty, while others see it as short-sightedness that hinders team growth."
Discussion Points:
Phone Calls and Listener Stories: Cavino and Rich feature calls from listeners sharing personal anecdotes related to plane and stadium etiquette, enhancing the relatability and interactivity of the episode.
Listener 'Sean' (1:36:30): "Kevin Costner might be the most convincing ballplayer because he actually played baseball. But Kurt Russell isn’t too shabby either."
Listener 'Bo' (1:38:45): "Kenny Powers from TV’s 'Eastbound & Down' is my favorite fictional player. His antics and style are unmatched."
Humorous Takes: The hosts infuse humor into the discussions, sharing funny mishaps like incorrect seat assignments and overzealous fans' behaviors.
Cavino (1:40:10): "Ever see someone pretty sure they're in the wrong seat and start a heated argument about it? Classic misunderstanding."
Rich (1:42:00): "Like that old lady who threw my bag across the aisle because she couldn't find space – she's got my respect, but also my annoyance."
Practical Solutions: Offering solutions to common problems, such as donating goodie bags to fellow passengers traveling with kids or setting personal boundaries in crowded spaces.
Cavino (1:45:20): "Traveling with kids for the first time? Make goodie bags with candies or earplugs for the people around you. It's a thoughtful gesture."
Rich (1:47:30): "If someone is hogging the aisle, offer them tickets to a future game or something nice. Sometimes a small gesture can avoid bigger conflicts."
Final Thoughts:
Summary of Topics: Cavino and Rich recap the main points discussed, reinforcing the importance of etiquette both in travel and at sporting events.
Rich (1:56:15): "Whether you're on a plane or at the stadium, respect and consideration go a long way in making everyone's experience enjoyable."
Upcoming Topics: They tease future discussions, including episodes on specific sports controversies, deep dives into player performances, and more interactive audience segments.
Cavino (1:57:50): "Next episode, we're talking about Shador Sanders and Baker Mayfield – the difference between cockiness and confidence."
Rich (1:59:30): "Stay tuned for more games, prizes, and perhaps another segment on game-day blunders we all can laugh about."
Closing Encouragement: Encouraging listeners to participate by sharing their own stories and experiences related to sports and etiquette.

Cavino on Ohtani as a Movie Star (08:30):
"Shohei Ohtani looks like a movie star. The guy's not only a superstar but also has the looks and charisma that could easily translate to Hollywood."
Rich on Ohtani's Records (11:15):
"Ohtani shattered all those records last year. Being the first ever member of the 5050 club? That's historic."
Cavino on "The Natural" (19:05):
"Honestly, if you have to choose, 'The Natural's Roy Hobbs was the most believable. The way his back was struck by lightning and he crafted a bat out of it – you almost believed he was real."
