Speaker 5 (02:05):
At Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio on social media.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Let the wild Rumpus begin. So yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Kids are off from school this week out here on
the West Coast, and a lot of places spring break
for the kiddos. A lot of parents scramble around, like, well,
the home I'm supposed to do with him this week.
Send them to Cancun so for spring break where they
uh all do a booty shaking contest. I'm talking little
kids Covido, not like college spring break. That was the
(02:37):
last month, so my kids don't have to wake up early,
so it's like sort of a free for all. And
yesterday my daughter's friend's mom asked, do you mind if
we take Emmy with us. We're all going to the
Dodgers game. It's hello, kiddy night.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Okay, keep in mind emmy seven. Are these close friends
of the family. Okay, so you trust them. We trust them.
Her best pal and the parents and a couple of
the kids are going. So first thought was, man, Dodger
Stadium is a big place. My kid's seven. I trust
these parents probably more than anyone else. But my first
(03:18):
thought was, oh, the anxiety you just feel as a
parent as you get older and older. I'm like, this
is like step one when before you know what'll be
going out with her friends driving? What your daughter's getting
her license this year? Yeah, this is one big hassle
on pain in The super scary parent thing is one
stressful pain in the ass. Hey, everybody goes through it.
It's just a part of life. But you know, I
really didn't think about it more than ten seconds. I
(03:40):
was like, yet, yeah, tag her up with an eye,
tag keeper safe. It's a modern day leash. Remember growing up,
parents would keep their kids on a leash, and you
would say to yourself, who keeps their kid on a leash?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I still think that's like trash behavior.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You're a leash.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I mean, like it's it's definitely eye opening when you
see it, like, oh okay, but I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You want to keep your kids, saying.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Nothing scarier than when they're out of your sight and
you can't see him for like a good twenty thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Every dad knows that hears him in a jungle gym.
You like, where'd you go?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So I'm going up?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Then it's come down to see him. Where are they?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Oh that's frightening. So so you're not there. She's gonna
go to Dodger Stadium. I'm really after like maybe a
minute of like, oh, I no know, do I feel
a little weird about this?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'm like, no, I'm not. She's seven and she's going
with her friend who a Dodgers game. What am I
being a weirdo?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
For?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So I was like, yeah, go have a great time.
That's not the problem. Here's the problem. She gets a
Dodger's Hello Kitty stuffy Her friend and the parents are
Dodgers fans. So my daughter comes back in a Dodger's head.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, so I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, I don't know how cool that is.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
You know, Rich again, for reference, is a Mets guy
and he's raising a Mets fan family.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's how it works, poor guy.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But we live out here in Los Angeles, and all
his daughter knows is that her friends are Dodgers fans.
Her friend's family are Dodgers fans. The Dodgers won the
World Series. She's at a Dodgers game. Oh and why
you've raised her really well to know that, hey, we're
Mets fan. It's it's also like I said, Hello Kitty night.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So my daughter comes in the door last night at
like ten thirty, eleven o'clock at night with a Dodger's
Hello Kitty stuffed animal a Dodger's hat from the Dodger store,
which means the parents, spifefully because they know I'm a
Mets fan, spitefully bought my daughter probably.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Like a forty dollars hat the best forty dollars they
ever spent, and she.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Comes up with a little plastic Dodger's helmet that they
bought her ice creaming. These are great people, but they're
Dodgers fans and guess what my family is not.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
And they send me this video midway through the game.
I mean, if it's done in fun, rich, what's going
on there? Listen to the this is this is halfway
through the game.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I get this text from them and it's my daughter
sitting there at the Dodgers game.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Let's go Dodgers. Now, are they just messing with you?
Is it a good little ribbing like? Because if that's
what's going on, that's funny and that's fine. Otherwise there
is a slight level of disrespect because you don't make
those choices for other kids when you're someone's parent.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know what I mean. I'm not looking at it
as disrespect.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm I'm opening up the question to the Dan Patrick Nation,
to the Dan Nets, to the world. Just because you're
a fan of a team could put this to Rescus.
We've had this conversation over the years. I grew up
in New York. I'm a Mets fan, Let's go Mets.
Juan so Noo finally hit a bomb yesterday, but it
doesn't matter. He's sliding by because the Mets are playing
(06:51):
so well that no one's noticing that his stats.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
On our people are noticing.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
People are saying that Trent Grisham of the New York
Yankees has better stats than once Sotto right now, but
guess what and again right now? But that is fun
to talk about. I see when you run for the bag,
when you leave the Yankees for the money.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, But when the Mets are eleven and five and
one of the best teams in baseball and Wan Soto's
just leadership and you know you saw presence. His presence
is like I don't know that saying nobody's talking about.
But no, Mets fans are like, man Soto's a bust.
They're eleven and five and he's fantastic.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Everybody's going to talk about it if he doesn't start producing,
because he's the highest played paid player in baseball.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
If the Mets are five and eleven, then they'd be
talking about it. But true. So long story.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Short, and my question, before you get into a lot
of the beef of today's show, just because you root
for a team. Do you force that on your kids
if you live somewhere else, Meaning I'm a New Yorker,
my wife's from Texas. We now live out here in
southern California. My kids who are seven and five, my
daughter seven, my son is five. They all we know
(08:01):
we live at California. In fact, my son I bought
him the Hurricane. If you're if you're a coach and
you have little kids, it's a it's that ball that
swings around. It's like one hundred and fifty bucks, a
little batting thing.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
My son's on the side of the house taking hacks
yesterday and he's like, Dad, do I look like Otani?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So my son's reference tell you're a little white kid
to a blonde hair, like, you're.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Not Japanese, buddy, But you know what, don't see color.
You're like two feet tall and a mookie mess. I'm
my son, you're not black even.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
But my son his first reference Danny is dad, does
my swing look like Otani?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
He is Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm sorry, who's that show?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Hey, he's one of I'll say, one of the biggest
sports icons alive today.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So I get it.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Every kid's gonna look up and admire sho Heltani man
who doesn't some a Yankees fan, I admire the hell
out of show.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Hey, my daughter came home laughing with her Dodger stuff.
You ever see what a kid has so much fun?
They come home and it's almost like they're drunk. Yeah,
it's like eleven o'clock and she's loud.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'm like, your brother's sleeping. Shut the hell up, dad,
and now we I'm like I.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Told my wife, she hands like a drunk college kid.
Them being tired and delirious. I guess, yeah, sugar high
if that's a real thing. So again, long story short,
do you really push your teams on your kid?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Is that old school thinking? Is that ridiculous? We live
in a small world where you know everyone, all.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Your friends have different favorite teams, and just because you
were for a team doesn't doesn't mean your kids need to.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And again, I live in California. Am I gonna make
my kids root for the Mets when they have the
Dodgers here?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Like?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, because she's grandfathered in into Mets fandom? Literally, your
dad started this tradition. Why should your kids break the tradition?
There's no excuses anymore. I get it if it was
nineteen eighty something and she didn't have the ability to
watch the Mets and had no connection to any of
the players, because you can see him day and day out.
(10:09):
With MLB apps and iHeartRadio and Fox Sport, you're connected
to every team you want to hear about and listen
to all the time. So there's no excuse for anybody
to not root for the team that they grow up
in and around. And she's growing up in and around
a Mets family.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
She's in LA, but that is a hardcore Mets fan,
not just a casual Mets fan. That's important. Your dad
was a Mets fan. I mean two days ago, your
family does.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Two days ago, we went up to Sacramento to see
the Mets play the eighth right, So I think there's
really no excuse.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, I get it, she's in LA. I've had these
conversations with my kid. I mean, you can always have
secondary interests, right, like a college student. You could minor
in Dodgers if you want, but you major in the Mets.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I know that doesn't make sense because they're both in
the National League, But I get it. You want to
be aware of the fun and the hype that's surrounded
by the World Series Champions right now because you're out
here and you're a little kid. That's okay, because there's superstars.
That's another thing. When you were a kid, you had
your fandom, you had your teams, you had your alliance
and allegiance right whether it have been the let's say
(11:17):
you were a Knicks fan, you still admired and rooted
for Michael Jordan and.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was not really I don't know any Knicks fans that
rooted for Michael Jordan.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Today is bs because you know, every kid had a
Jordan poster in their room, regardless of alliance, and they
were rock and air Jordan's regardless because you couldn't deny
his superstar.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Rocking the Jordan's, but they had the Starks dunking over
Jordan poster.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Everybody loved Jordan.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
There's certain athletes that transcend alliance and rooting interest in
Shoho Tani is one of them. And it's not just
show Hey, it's Smookie Betts, it's Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I was like, what show Hay?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
So I don't blame a little kid for being sucked
into that because they're superstars and they're larger than life,
especially to a little kid. But you know, as a
dad myself, I've told my daughter like, hey, no, no, no, no,
you know, especially if you like my daughter's in the
dating scene. So a lot of young women also tend
to root for whatever their boyfriends root for. So a
(12:22):
lot of little boys out here, Yeah, I like the Dodgers.
I'm like, well, guess what Melody dad likes the Yankees.
You were born when the Yankees last won the World Series.
We come from a long line of Yankees fans. I
know we live out here in Los Angeles, but we're
Yankees fans.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And the story story, No, it sounds silly that you're
just gonna let your kids just.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Root for whoever.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You're a Mets guy.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You are you are?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Hey, dude, I grew up I am a choice.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Guess what.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I grew up A little pumpkin pie haircutted Mexican kid
who's half a town that looked like Tattoo from Fantastic
I didn't make that choice.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That's who I am. You know what else I am
because it was grandfather mean, a Yankees fan. That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The end.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Tell Amy, I love you to death, honey. But this
is who we are, period. I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Period. I like that stance, Covino.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
You'll get some weird looks sometimes, like when I brought
CoA in for his first Raiders tattoo a couple months ago.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
He's one years old, Danny. But the reality is I
love the Mets.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
My daughter only knows being a little girl that grew
up in California. And the boyfriend thing is a perfect example.
My daughter's only seven, but when she's seventeen sixteen and
she has her high school boyfriend, I remember girls I
dated rooted for my team because they didn't really care
that much. So you tell me if you're telling me
your daughter doesn't know the Yankees other than like dad cares,
(13:44):
Why would you, Dad, who did everything for you your
whole life, all of a sudden you abandoned Dad because
some Yeah, well this kid better be on the Dodgers.
If she's rooting for the Dodgers, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I listen.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
My wife comes from Her parents are from the Midwest originally,
her dad's a Cardinals fan. You're too much of a
suc we get My father in law is a Cardinals fan.
Guess who my wife roots for the Mets becus. I'm
the man in her life now.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I'm not fining to it. She didn't have to do that.
She did that because she really didn't care that much.
She didn't have to do that. And and I don't
think anyone should. And I think there's a little part
of you. You said you're gonna play the villain today.
I don't know if this is part of it, but
you sound like a little tiny bit of a softy
to just think it's a okay your son, how about
your son too? Isn't that father's son, Bonnie. I'm not
(14:32):
trying to be sexist here, Creed. It goes all ways.
But you're gonna say, okay, son, you're a Dodgers fan
and he's gonna go completely against his dad. Come on, man,
you gotta think Game of Throne style, like this is
what we are turning on the family. Get out of
here and beat it. This is who we are. That's
(14:53):
on the lowest of levels. There's something really serious about that.
It's like, you can't change who you are. What do
you a trainer? That's how I feel about it. You
know what your thoughts, let's light them up. Eight seven seven,
nine to nine on Fox. And by the way, it's
very fickle just because of where you live. That's who
you root for. You know a lot of people bounce
around city to city all the time. In today's world,
(15:15):
it's a much smaller place. Yeah pick one buy jumping
around and you can't be bandwaggoning either.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But so, my daughter gets home last night after going
to the Dodgers game, and she's a kid. You wanted
to have a good time, and I feel she was
so pumped. That's so much fun.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Again, the parents who brought her, our friends Liz and Scott,
you know, bought her ice cream, butter, a Dodger's hat.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
All this stuff. She had had a great experience, and
you don't want to ruin that. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
And she's seven, and she goes Dad and she said
this sort of like not nervous, but she goes that,
I think I like rooting for the Dodgers, but if
they play the Mets, I know, we root for the Mets, right,
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I'm like, yeah, buddy, But then I felt like she
was saying that just to make me happen. I'm like,
then I almost felt like, say, if you like the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Like what, I feel like.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
She was saying just to make me happy? And I'm like,
do you want your kids to say something just to
make you happy? Danny g you mentioned Cole for real?
If and when he grows up, he's only what one
and a half.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Now, Yeah, he's nineteen months old.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Now, when he grows up, if he chooses any team
other than the Raiders, is that gonna be okay with you?
Or are you gonna just like push it as hard
as you can?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Not too big of a deal. I just wonder how
much military school costs.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Clearly he's not learning, right, I have to change his
last name. I don't know. I look at it this
way as well.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
It it's not like I'm a Yankees fan and my
son's like Dad, I like the Red Sox, the Dodgers,
Mets have had some great series over the years.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But I'm an East Coast guy. Originally, it could be reasonable.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, you can be like, yeah, look, Dad doesn't hate
the Dodgers, like you know.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
There's no need to hate, but Dodgers. They're eighteen, you know,
do you remember your first experience at ball games?
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Get this?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Every time my daughter's gone to a Mets game with me,
no joke. Mets are oh and four, So my daughter
has seen the Mets lose four times.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh, I get what you're saying. And now you're saying
that you dealt with a lot of pain throughout your life.
Why do you want to expose your daughter to the
pain of disappointment?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
She sees the Mets go oh and four.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Since I've taken her once or twice a year, since
she's like four or five, right, so we've she's own
four as a Mets fan seeing them live.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
So she hasn't had a lot of reasons to cheer,
and she's seen dad and disappointed and upset throughout the year.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
She's only seen the Mets on the road, right, so
she's like, no one's really rooting for them except us. Look,
everyone else is rooting for the Angels or the Dodgers
or wherever I've taken her, right, And now she goes
last night and everybody's guess what my daughter, Hello kitty
we hat or a Hello Kitty like plushy like those
big stuffies.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
They gave her a Hello Kitty stuff and guess what
she gets to see a home run from none other
than show. Hey time, I mean you know what. Again.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
On a lower level, you know what, it's kind of like,
it's like you you let your kids stay over a
friend's house and they come back with all these different
ideals and thoughts about the world.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're like, hey, relax with that.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
It's like they were pushing their morals and ideals and
their values on your kid.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
On a very low level, I'm being serious, like, I know,
it's not that serious. It's not that deep as the kid,
WO say, it's not that big of a deal. But
it's like, hey, you sent her out as a Mets fan,
she came home a Dodgers fan.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Slow down and relaxed.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
It's like your kid goes away to college and they
come back from liberal hippie right.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
On a lower level, it's like, hey, stop trying to
brainwash my kid.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I sent her out with a Mets hat on.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Or they come back with a new menu, a new taste.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, I'm a.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Pantry. Your kitchen's way better than yours.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah it's okay, Wait a second, I'm a vegan. So again,
we're from the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You guys know that Covino and Richard for Dan Patrick
from Union, New Jersey, Riches from Franklin Square, Long Island.
I grew up a Yankees fan. Rich grew up a
Mets fan. We're out here in Los Angeles, been out
here for a long time.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Now.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
It's all our kids really know. Do you force them
to root for your team or do you let them
enjoy the beautiful run that the Dodgers are going?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
With me right now?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I joke, be part of the fun Lakers, Fun, La Fun.
I joked with the parents who took her last night
again good friends of ours. I said, I gotta keep
them a little in New York, meaning my kids, because
we're out here in l AM. I got all my
kids starting to soft La kids.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I'm like, what are they gonna do next?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Started to start pronouncing Italian foods the right way, right right.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Right, look, And there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
I'm not gonna say there's wrong with doing their own
thing and their own choices and their own decisions. I
get that, you know, I have independent thinkers. But there's
also nothing wrong with tradition and nothing wrong with Hey,
we're a Mets family or we're a blank family. And
this is what we do together as a family.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I joked with my wife because my wife's from South Texas,
and I said, our kids are La kids.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You're a Texan, I'm in New Yorker.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We need to keep a little Texas and a little
New York in their life so that they know where
they came.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
From, a little bit of country, a little bit of
rocket roll, I said.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
They need, They need that knowledge of like, yeah, you know,
I got a little bit of a New York edge.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
My parents are from New York and uh, they're from Texas,
so they need those are two cool places. By the way,
I mean, yeah, don't lose that completely as we go
to your feet or roots.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
There's nothing wrong with your roots, So I think that's
also important. Could she have fun at a Dodgers game. Yeah,
have all the fun you want. But remember, honey, we're
a Mets family. Nothing wrong with that. You're not brainwashing
your kid, you're not guilt tripping them.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
You're just them. That's who we are, and be proud
about it.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Character that's our one of our buses, got that runs
this place done?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Yeah he goes mayor Dodge. Just pay the bills for
a lot of people around here. If were you at
like the Dodgas, Like you know that's true. You know,
you know, as you get older and your mind changes
on things. And again that's why I said, on the
lowest of levels sports is fine. So it's not that serious,
but it does say a little something right, And again
it's also a very important bonding sort of thing, like
(21:34):
we said, with your kids. You want to have those
moments with your kids. Yeah, you can still enjoy a ballgame,
but you know, it's cooler when your rooting interest is
the same.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I want to get the phones going eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox in for Dan Patrick Kevino on
Rich what level of forcing when it comes to your
kids rooting for the same team as you.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Have to force anything. We don't have to be so
willy nilly.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Well, hold on, let me ask you one little rub
and then we'll take your fee. Does it extend to
other stuff like music? Like if you're a big rock
fan and your kids like dad, I hate rocket love country,
do you say like we're a rock family, Like you've
worked in rock radio and sports your whole life. What
if your daughter is like rock lame I like you
know edm dance mu'sic.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Dad, Well, I think music and trends are ever changing,
so I would never force my stuff on my kid.
I would try to influence them unless it's the and
heavily influence them.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, but Yankees.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
It's not like I'm telling her to root for the
nineteen ninety six Yankees, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
So why would you expect a kid to listen to
the type.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Of music you like? That's true, right, because those are
trends that are changing. So anyway, your thoughts on this.
We're La transplants. The kids are gonna be sucked into
LA fandom, but we're not from LA. How do you
handle that to me? Like I said, there's no excuse anymore.
You could still watch your team regardless of where you are.
It's not like Rich doesn't have access to New York
(22:58):
Mets baseball. He does show your thoughts. Plus, we got
to talk about vacation conversations and involve sports.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, ties it to Rory McElroy.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Plus a lot of quarterback rumors and speculation. As we're
less than ten days from the NFL Draft, so we
got a lot of NFL We'll have a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Gonna talk about some NFL quarterback moves and some speculation
and some rumors coming up in a few minutes, plus
what type of vacation.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Person are you?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
A lot a lot of fun in randomness. But here's
where we start today.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
My daughter goes to the Dodgers game last night with
her little girlfriends, her little galpals, my daughter seven, and
one of the moms is like, we're taking the girls
because it's Hello Kitty night.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And I was like, yeah, you could bring my daughter.
Thank you for the invite.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
My daughter comes home last night with a Hello Kitty
Dodgers stuffy, a Dodger's hat and a little helmet, and
she's like, Dad, I think I like the Dodgers, but
I mean a root for the Mets if they play
each other. And I'm like, oh, she's just saying that
because she doesn't want to crush me.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
There's a lot going on here, man, because first and
first mostly, as we say here on the show, most
importantly is the fun that she had. Okay, so let's
be real about it. Let's go dodge, man. They're just
rubbing it into Dad's face. Dad's a lifelong Mets guy.
And again, these are your roots and you got to
be proud of them. We're out here alone in Los Angeles,
(26:27):
live in LA what he do.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
My daughter has never been to City Field, and this
summer when we go visit New York family, I'm gonna
take her for the first time. We live in La
am I doing her a disservice by being like, no,
we're much fair. There's so many ways to look at it.
I'm the dad of teenage daughter. She doesn't give a
Diddley squad about baseball. Meanwhile, her dad's like obsessed with
baseball and the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Right, so.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
You do your best to influence your kids. However, I
bond over music and other things with my daughter, right.
I think you have a duty as a parent, not
just as a dad, as a parent to say the
right things and to do your part. But then they're
gonna make their own choices anyway, and you learn that
as time goes on, and about everything like political views,
(27:20):
ways of life, any sort of thing that you think.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You feel it's your job.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
It could be as simple as hey, they notice stay
safe and put on their seat belt. But it's your
job as your dad, as a dad, or as a
parent to remind them, hey, put your seatbelt.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
On.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I know that, I know, but I'm just doing my job.
It's kind of your job to be like, remember, we.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Root for the Mets.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
If they make their own decisions and she becomes a
Dodgers fan, you know that's that's fine. They're gonna make
their own decisions. But you still have to do your part.
That's my point. You also have to about, yeah, I
guess she's no, we're daughters fans and say what a
smile because you're not going to force her to think
what you think. But you got a reminder. We're Dodgers fan,
(28:07):
I mean we're Mets fans. See now you're you're you're
confused with me?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Are we doctors?
Speaker 4 (28:13):
So your calls, your feedback, phones are all let every
single line, so handle it. When your kid chooses a
different team, let's go rapid fire, or as we like
to say, throw it back to the nineties cross fire.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We get caught up in the know.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
You never had that, while I never had it, but
I'm very well aware of it. That means you got
to be snappy. Let's go through all the phone calls.
Me seven seven ninety nine on Fox Pennsylvania, Mio, what's
going on?
Speaker 9 (28:39):
Hey, thank you first time, long time. I love the Cowboys.
I grew up Cowboys fan. I baby hate everything Philadelphia sports.
Oh yeah, my villin has been influenced by his cousins
and his cousin's family and now came up to me
and said, Dad, I love the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Come on, yeah, you know I love it. Hate that
story all once for me.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Yeah, but you also have to teach again, try again
your part, right, You can't control of your kid and
you want them to be free thinkers and be proud
of their choices. But you have to teach them, or
at least try to teach and preach to them that no,
we don't fall into peer pressure. You know, have a backbone.
This is who we are and that's just what we do.
You gotta just do your part.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Like you said, heartbreak, Like you said, there's times in
life where you you do lose control of your kids.
And the example we gave was how many times does
a kid come back from college and all of a
sudden they were like a liberal hippie and their parents
like what hap real time?
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yeah, I'm sure our parents felt the same way about us.
Dave in Colorado, what's up, Dave?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Hey, Dave.
Speaker 10 (29:42):
What's up, guys, thanks for taking the.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Call, no problem, thank you.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Yoh man, I got a I guess a quick admission.
I'm a I grew up and Detroy, so we attended
all all like old school Pistons games and Tigers games
when you could find tickets on the ground walk right
in so by the fault. That was kind of a
detriped sports fan. But I've been in call out of
twenty I don't know, over twenty years now, and my
rear end kicked in at an Avalanche game wearing some
(30:07):
some red wings here when I'm just more of a
hockey and a sports fan. So I don't know. I
agree with you guys about your concepts of snowplow parenting.
You want to have your kids go through the diversity,
but man, I don't know if I want them feel
And that's shit from wearing like an out of town jersey,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
The one sport I guess I would say I'm most
passionate about as far as that's that's my old school
team is is baseball.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I'm a kid from Long Island. I love the Mets, right, So.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Can't they give dad that, you know, what I'm saying
if they want to root for the Lakers or hey, fine,
I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I'll even myself. I was never a big Knicks fan.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I can't call myself a Lakers fan, but I've been
out here over a decade.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
I like Lakers, Kings. I'm a big hockey basketball guy.
My diehard alliances are NFL and Major League Baseball. So
not all traditions have to die rich. Yeah, you know,
like she carries your last name because you're her dad. Yeah,
you know what, I'll give you this one, And she
carries the Mets losing tradition because you're her dad.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
How do you feel about this?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Danny, g You and I and could you know we've
all come up in the radio ranks, and you know,
we all have these friends that have moved around the
country for radio or TV gigs, Like, hey, are friend Nico,
he's a new morning guy in Phoenix. Or hey, you
remember Dana who used to work on the show. She's
the new news anchor at Philadelphia. How do you feel
about when media personalities adopt the city they live in
(31:31):
for a long time? Sports, Like our buddy Nico is
from Detroit, but he's but he's the morning guy in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Now there's a way to handle that respectfully. The Cardinals,
you can do your job and show some cardinal pride,
but you got to represent.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
It would be really hard to just bold face lie
to your new listeners, especially with the ink I have
on my body. You know, how would I suddenly be
a fan of their team?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, you're you're You're an extreme example.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
But I see my buddy Nico, who I know, grew
up in Detroit, lived in New York for like twenty years.
He's a big time morning guy in Phoenix, and I
see him like on social media, like yo yo Sons.
He's you know, Sons fired their coach, you know, go Sons.
I'm like, Sons, if he really meant that he's just
a people pleaser, and I know he's not. He's our pal,
(32:19):
so I think he's just doing his job and he's
doing the right thing in that moment.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
But he could be. You could be a heel and
just as popular.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It's true.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I mean even our former president didn't Obama wear like
a White Sox jersey, your hat or something.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That Wrigley.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
White Sox hat.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
He never like denied his fandom, but he did it respectfully,
like there's ways to do it. You know, he to
be such a bandwagon person. I mean Giuliani before the
hair dyed dripping down his face, when he when when
the world loved him before, you know, things were weird
because it just was a Yankee and where you're from,
it's not that serious. And I respected that. He was
very diehard Yankees. All right, Johnna Florida rapid fire.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
What's up? John A.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Fellas, what's good?
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Good morning? Like the New Time slot.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
You know me, I'm a big New England Boston.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Fan of all the sports.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
And uh I got three boys, so I thought the
Celtics in the in the Pats on them hockey and baseball.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
I let them figure it out.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
But the Celtics and Paths big time.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I think that's the rule.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I think we've come to some weird hybrid conclusion that
if your kids are growing up in a different city
than you are, you could pick. You could be like, hey, kids,
I get it. We we live in Dallas now. I
grew up here. But there's one team this our family is.
We're Mets fan.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Maybe I tell my kids, hey, we're Mets fans football, basketball, hockey.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Do you think make make your decision?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Kids?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Yeah, but dad's holding strong. Yeah, we are Mets again,
because that's your part. They're gonna make their own minds
up anyway, unfortunately. So yeah, I think that's it. I
want them to think.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
About me when I'm an old guy, when you know,
when I'm in my nineties and up and I croak
and the Met's finally when the World's Series the year
after I die, I want them to think of me.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Ron in South Dakota, what's up?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Ron? Hey?
Speaker 11 (34:09):
This ONRN. My situation is very easy. I was born
and raised in Chicago. My son was born in Chicago,
but we left there for the Twin Cities before he
was two years old. Yet he's a Cubs fan, do
to me. But I give them the right to be
a Twins fan also since he's in the Twin Cities.
(34:30):
And it's easy because Cubs is National League, Twins is
americanly Now, if there was in the same league, same
division or anything, we might have to go to court
and get some papers to solve something on this, you know.
But with the girl, it's different too.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah, you know what's interesting. Let me add one more
rub coming on, they will take the last couple. I
see my son playing teble. I coach his team, and
when they get up to bat, I'll say things to
them like I, come on, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Get those you know, get those hands back, you know,
drive through the ball, just like and I think in
my head I have to use Dodgers like come on,
who you Mookie, Betsy you Freddy Freeman?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yo, all right, you're o Tani. Let's see that stroke.
You're not saying polar Bear.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
P I'm not saying polar Bear peak because all the
little boys tell vampe, yeah who is Soto? My my
son and his little friends on his T ball team. Oh,
they're not telling him come on, just like Timmy Tuffell
used to do. Come on, just like len use.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Those hips, use those hips, just like the toughle shuffle,
Daryl Strawberry swing man. Get better than that.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
But you know, at some point, I don't want my
kid to feel like the weirdo when everyone else is like,
go Dodgers, and he's like, yeah, guys, I.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Like, what was that campaign we grew up with?
Speaker 5 (35:42):
There to be different, all right, There to be It's
not that big of a deal. If he's a Mets fan,
you know, and you can say, hey, it's not that
big of a deal. On the flip side, I get
it because it is. It's fun, it's sports. But it's
okay that he's the one kid that roots for the
Dodgers or the See now you get me confused right
here in Los Angeles. That's why. Now we'll wrap up
(36:05):
with your phone calls. Plus, we gotta play Whack Diesel trivia,

The Swiggy with the Swaggy. That's our steamless steel water bottle,

giving away prizes playing Whack Diesel triviaator. Yesterday you and
I were talking off there about the difference between bribery
and incentives.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
That's a conversation in itself because we're talking about kids.
If you got kids, let me give you the difference.
Bribery is usually something they're supposed to do, like if
you behave, we'll get ice cream.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Just supposed to behave.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I'm not giving no, I'm done with bribery, by the way,
as a parent, no longer. Hey have a dad's I
guess a zoom call. If you're quiet, we'll go get
a Pokemonty. No, no, that's bride.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I'm done.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Incentive is reward system. Incentive is, hey, you do good
on your homework. Hey, we've been working on your swing.
If you get a base hit today, you get you
know something, that's incentives. I'm cool with incentives. Bribery for
the birds. Speaking of parenting, that's what we're wrapping up
right now. Before we took football and a little NBA
here on the show. We're out here as transplants in
(38:26):
Los Angeles. Why you look at my hair when you
said that, Yeah, so this is my hair? Yeah, sure
it is. I didn't go to what country do people
go to?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Turkey? Turkey?
Speaker 5 (38:36):
Why do you always forget that people come back from
Turkey with their heads all wrapped up because it's all inclusive.
It's like, for six thousand dollars, they'll take you, they'll
fly you out there, full stay, and you come back
with a full head of hair. One of my buddies
came back with a pumpador. I was like, dude, no way,
So Anyway, we're out here in LA, and of course
(38:57):
we're in New York sports fans, but Rich's kids are
starting to lean LA Dodgers because that's all they know
and that's all their friends talk about. When you're truly
passionate about your teams, how do you handle that? And
what are your thoughts on it? Nine on Fox Adam
in Orlando, what's up at him?
Speaker 11 (39:19):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Fellas?
Speaker 9 (39:20):
How are y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
We're good, man, what's up?
Speaker 9 (39:22):
Good?
Speaker 6 (39:23):
So my wife is seven months pregnant right now, who's
got a little boy on the way.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Congress, so appreciate him.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
And so I am a die I hate to admit this,
I'm a diehard Jacksonville Gaguarre saying, and I would not
put that on my kid to save my tick, my life.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Yeah, So what I think.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
I'm gonna do? I don't know if you all have
seen this new TikTok trend basically put out like four
or five of the stuff. He's all and I'm doing
Florida teams and whatever one he goes to, we're gonna
I'm gonna switch. I'm still gonna love the Jags, but
I'm not gonna put him through that. So whichever stuff
he chooses, we'll be fans of that.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
It's like a kid picking what college has he's going through.
I love that. Robert in Washington State with up.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
Hey Rob, you know what's going on though?
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Good morning, Hey, So just a little thing.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
I'm a Niner fan. I've been ever since I can remember,
and I remember when I was younger. My dad, he's
a single father. He would date chicks and he would
accommodate his liking to their teams. He's actually a Raider fan,
but I didn't know that. I started Chair for the
Night who was back in the day, and here I
am a lifelong Niner fan and they are a fan.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
So I dude, your dad wanted that booty so bad
that he'd be like, yeah, whatever team the girl wanted, boy,
I love your dad was chasing her.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
He was a fan of women. Yeah, that seems like
Booty more than the fixed skin. Derek and Sokel wrapped
this up.
Speaker 12 (40:41):
Hey, guys, just want to say good morning. I am
a long time transplant from New York. I was born there,
moved out here when we were when I was twelve
years old. I am a diamond diehard New York football
Giants fan, but I'm also a Dodgers fan being out
here in l A and my family. I got twin
(41:02):
boy and girls thirteen years old, and my wife.
Speaker 8 (41:04):
They all all love.
Speaker 12 (41:05):
The same teams I do. When I see my family
sitting around during Giants games with their jerseys on, and
I'm like, oh my god, what did I do? And
then sometimes yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, but you know what, it sounds like you did
your job, right.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
That's all you can do is be a great influence
as a parent. They're gonna make their own decisions up
and mind up anyway.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
At Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio on social media.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Let the wild Rumpus begin. So yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Kids are off from school this week out here on
the West Coast, and a lot of places spring break
for the kiddos. A lot of parents scramble around, like, well,
the home I'm supposed to do with him this week.
Send them to Cancun so for spring break where they
uh all do a booty shaking contest. I'm talking little
kids Covido, not like college spring break. That was the
(02:37):
last month, so my kids don't have to wake up early,
so it's like sort of a free for all. And
yesterday my daughter's friend's mom asked, do you mind if
we take Emmy with us. We're all going to the
Dodgers game. It's hello, kiddy night.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Okay, keep in mind emmy seven. Are these close friends
of the family. Okay, so you trust them. We trust them.
Her best pal and the parents and a couple of
the kids are going. So first thought was, man, Dodger
Stadium is a big place. My kid's seven. I trust
these parents probably more than anyone else. But my first
(03:18):
thought was, oh, the anxiety you just feel as a
parent as you get older and older. I'm like, this
is like step one when before you know what'll be
going out with her friends driving? What your daughter's getting
her license this year? Yeah, this is one big hassle
on pain in The super scary parent thing is one
stressful pain in the ass. Hey, everybody goes through it.
It's just a part of life. But you know, I
really didn't think about it more than ten seconds. I
(03:40):
was like, yet, yeah, tag her up with an eye,
tag keeper safe. It's a modern day leash. Remember growing up,
parents would keep their kids on a leash, and you
would say to yourself, who keeps their kid on a leash?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I still think that's like trash behavior.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You're a leash.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I mean, like it's it's definitely eye opening when you
see it, like, oh okay, but I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You want to keep your kids, saying.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Nothing scarier than when they're out of your sight and
you can't see him for like a good twenty thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Every dad knows that hears him in a jungle gym.
You like, where'd you go?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So I'm going up?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Then it's come down to see him. Where are they?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Oh that's frightening. So so you're not there. She's gonna
go to Dodger Stadium. I'm really after like maybe a
minute of like, oh, I no know, do I feel
a little weird about this?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'm like, no, I'm not. She's seven and she's going
with her friend who a Dodgers game. What am I
being a weirdo?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
For?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So I was like, yeah, go have a great time.
That's not the problem. Here's the problem. She gets a
Dodger's Hello Kitty stuffy Her friend and the parents are
Dodgers fans. So my daughter comes back in a Dodger's head.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, so I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, I don't know how cool that is.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
You know, Rich again, for reference, is a Mets guy
and he's raising a Mets fan family.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's how it works, poor guy.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But we live out here in Los Angeles, and all
his daughter knows is that her friends are Dodgers fans.
Her friend's family are Dodgers fans. The Dodgers won the
World Series. She's at a Dodgers game. Oh and why
you've raised her really well to know that, hey, we're
Mets fan. It's it's also like I said, Hello Kitty night.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So my daughter comes in the door last night at
like ten thirty, eleven o'clock at night with a Dodger's
Hello Kitty stuffed animal a Dodger's hat from the Dodger store,
which means the parents, spifefully because they know I'm a
Mets fan, spitefully bought my daughter probably.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Like a forty dollars hat the best forty dollars they
ever spent, and she.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Comes up with a little plastic Dodger's helmet that they
bought her ice creaming. These are great people, but they're
Dodgers fans and guess what my family is not.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
And they send me this video midway through the game.
I mean, if it's done in fun, rich, what's going
on there? Listen to the this is this is halfway
through the game.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I get this text from them and it's my daughter
sitting there at the Dodgers game.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Let's go Dodgers. Now, are they just messing with you?
Is it a good little ribbing like? Because if that's
what's going on, that's funny and that's fine. Otherwise there
is a slight level of disrespect because you don't make
those choices for other kids when you're someone's parent.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know what I mean. I'm not looking at it
as disrespect.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm I'm opening up the question to the Dan Patrick Nation,
to the Dan Nets, to the world. Just because you're
a fan of a team could put this to Rescus.
We've had this conversation over the years. I grew up
in New York. I'm a Mets fan, Let's go Mets.
Juan so Noo finally hit a bomb yesterday, but it
doesn't matter. He's sliding by because the Mets are playing
(06:51):
so well that no one's noticing that his stats.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
On our people are noticing.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
People are saying that Trent Grisham of the New York
Yankees has better stats than once Sotto right now, but
guess what and again right now? But that is fun
to talk about. I see when you run for the bag,
when you leave the Yankees for the money.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, But when the Mets are eleven and five and
one of the best teams in baseball and Wan Soto's
just leadership and you know you saw presence. His presence
is like I don't know that saying nobody's talking about.
But no, Mets fans are like, man Soto's a bust.
They're eleven and five and he's fantastic.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Everybody's going to talk about it if he doesn't start producing,
because he's the highest played paid player in baseball.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
If the Mets are five and eleven, then they'd be
talking about it. But true. So long story.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Short, and my question, before you get into a lot
of the beef of today's show, just because you root
for a team. Do you force that on your kids
if you live somewhere else, Meaning I'm a New Yorker,
my wife's from Texas. We now live out here in
southern California. My kids who are seven and five, my
daughter seven, my son is five. They all we know
(08:01):
we live at California. In fact, my son I bought
him the Hurricane. If you're if you're a coach and
you have little kids, it's a it's that ball that
swings around. It's like one hundred and fifty bucks, a
little batting thing.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
My son's on the side of the house taking hacks
yesterday and he's like, Dad, do I look like Otani?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So my son's reference tell you're a little white kid
to a blonde hair, like, you're.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Not Japanese, buddy, But you know what, don't see color.
You're like two feet tall and a mookie mess. I'm
my son, you're not black even.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
But my son his first reference Danny is dad, does
my swing look like Otani?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
He is Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm sorry, who's that show?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Hey, he's one of I'll say, one of the biggest
sports icons alive today.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So I get it.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Every kid's gonna look up and admire sho Heltani man
who doesn't some a Yankees fan, I admire the hell
out of show.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Hey, my daughter came home laughing with her Dodger stuff.
You ever see what a kid has so much fun?
They come home and it's almost like they're drunk. Yeah,
it's like eleven o'clock and she's loud.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'm like, your brother's sleeping. Shut the hell up, dad,
and now we I'm like I.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Told my wife, she hands like a drunk college kid.
Them being tired and delirious. I guess, yeah, sugar high
if that's a real thing. So again, long story short,
do you really push your teams on your kid?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Is that old school thinking? Is that ridiculous? We live
in a small world where you know everyone, all.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Your friends have different favorite teams, and just because you
were for a team doesn't doesn't mean your kids need to.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And again, I live in California. Am I gonna make
my kids root for the Mets when they have the
Dodgers here?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Like?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, because she's grandfathered in into Mets fandom? Literally, your
dad started this tradition. Why should your kids break the tradition?
There's no excuses anymore. I get it if it was
nineteen eighty something and she didn't have the ability to
watch the Mets and had no connection to any of
the players, because you can see him day and day out.
(10:09):
With MLB apps and iHeartRadio and Fox Sport, you're connected
to every team you want to hear about and listen
to all the time. So there's no excuse for anybody
to not root for the team that they grow up
in and around. And she's growing up in and around
a Mets family.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
She's in LA, but that is a hardcore Mets fan,
not just a casual Mets fan. That's important. Your dad
was a Mets fan. I mean two days ago, your
family does.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Two days ago, we went up to Sacramento to see
the Mets play the eighth right, So I think there's
really no excuse.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, I get it, she's in LA. I've had these
conversations with my kid. I mean, you can always have
secondary interests, right, like a college student. You could minor
in Dodgers if you want, but you major in the Mets.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I know that doesn't make sense because they're both in
the National League, But I get it. You want to
be aware of the fun and the hype that's surrounded
by the World Series Champions right now because you're out
here and you're a little kid. That's okay, because there's superstars.
That's another thing. When you were a kid, you had
your fandom, you had your teams, you had your alliance
and allegiance right whether it have been the let's say
(11:17):
you were a Knicks fan, you still admired and rooted
for Michael Jordan and.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was not really I don't know any Knicks fans that
rooted for Michael Jordan.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Today is bs because you know, every kid had a
Jordan poster in their room, regardless of alliance, and they
were rock and air Jordan's regardless because you couldn't deny
his superstar.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Rocking the Jordan's, but they had the Starks dunking over
Jordan poster.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Everybody loved Jordan.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
There's certain athletes that transcend alliance and rooting interest in
Shoho Tani is one of them. And it's not just
show Hey, it's Smookie Betts, it's Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I was like, what show Hay?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
So I don't blame a little kid for being sucked
into that because they're superstars and they're larger than life,
especially to a little kid. But you know, as a
dad myself, I've told my daughter like, hey, no, no, no, no,
you know, especially if you like my daughter's in the
dating scene. So a lot of young women also tend
to root for whatever their boyfriends root for. So a
(12:22):
lot of little boys out here, Yeah, I like the Dodgers.
I'm like, well, guess what Melody dad likes the Yankees.
You were born when the Yankees last won the World Series.
We come from a long line of Yankees fans. I
know we live out here in Los Angeles, but we're
Yankees fans.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And the story story, No, it sounds silly that you're
just gonna let your kids just.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Root for whoever.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You're a Mets guy.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You are you are?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Hey, dude, I grew up I am a choice.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Guess what.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I grew up A little pumpkin pie haircutted Mexican kid
who's half a town that looked like Tattoo from Fantastic
I didn't make that choice.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That's who I am. You know what else I am
because it was grandfather mean, a Yankees fan. That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The end.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Tell Amy, I love you to death, honey. But this
is who we are, period. I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Period. I like that stance, Covino.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
You'll get some weird looks sometimes, like when I brought
CoA in for his first Raiders tattoo a couple months ago.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
He's one years old, Danny. But the reality is I
love the Mets.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
My daughter only knows being a little girl that grew
up in California. And the boyfriend thing is a perfect example.
My daughter's only seven, but when she's seventeen sixteen and
she has her high school boyfriend, I remember girls I
dated rooted for my team because they didn't really care
that much. So you tell me if you're telling me
your daughter doesn't know the Yankees other than like dad cares,
(13:44):
Why would you, Dad, who did everything for you your
whole life, all of a sudden you abandoned Dad because
some Yeah, well this kid better be on the Dodgers.
If she's rooting for the Dodgers, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I listen.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
My wife comes from Her parents are from the Midwest originally,
her dad's a Cardinals fan. You're too much of a
suc we get My father in law is a Cardinals fan.
Guess who my wife roots for the Mets becus. I'm
the man in her life now.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I'm not fining to it. She didn't have to do that.
She did that because she really didn't care that much.
She didn't have to do that. And and I don't
think anyone should. And I think there's a little part
of you. You said you're gonna play the villain today.
I don't know if this is part of it, but
you sound like a little tiny bit of a softy
to just think it's a okay your son, how about
your son too? Isn't that father's son, Bonnie. I'm not
(14:32):
trying to be sexist here, Creed. It goes all ways.
But you're gonna say, okay, son, you're a Dodgers fan
and he's gonna go completely against his dad. Come on, man,
you gotta think Game of Throne style, like this is
what we are turning on the family. Get out of
here and beat it. This is who we are. That's
(14:53):
on the lowest of levels. There's something really serious about that.
It's like, you can't change who you are. What do
you a trainer? That's how I feel about it. You
know what your thoughts, let's light them up. Eight seven seven,
nine to nine on Fox. And by the way, it's
very fickle just because of where you live. That's who
you root for. You know a lot of people bounce
around city to city all the time. In today's world,
(15:15):
it's a much smaller place. Yeah pick one buy jumping
around and you can't be bandwaggoning either.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But so, my daughter gets home last night after going
to the Dodgers game, and she's a kid. You wanted
to have a good time, and I feel she was
so pumped. That's so much fun.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Again, the parents who brought her, our friends Liz and Scott,
you know, bought her ice cream, butter, a Dodger's hat.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
All this stuff. She had had a great experience, and
you don't want to ruin that. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
And she's seven, and she goes Dad and she said
this sort of like not nervous, but she goes that,
I think I like rooting for the Dodgers, but if
they play the Mets, I know, we root for the Mets, right,
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I'm like, yeah, buddy, But then I felt like she
was saying that just to make me happen. I'm like,
then I almost felt like, say, if you like the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Like what, I feel like.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
She was saying just to make me happy? And I'm like,
do you want your kids to say something just to
make you happy? Danny g you mentioned Cole for real?
If and when he grows up, he's only what one
and a half.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Now, Yeah, he's nineteen months old.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Now, when he grows up, if he chooses any team
other than the Raiders, is that gonna be okay with you?
Or are you gonna just like push it as hard
as you can?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Not too big of a deal. I just wonder how
much military school costs.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Clearly he's not learning, right, I have to change his
last name. I don't know. I look at it this
way as well.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
It it's not like I'm a Yankees fan and my
son's like Dad, I like the Red Sox, the Dodgers,
Mets have had some great series over the years.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But I'm an East Coast guy. Originally, it could be reasonable.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, you can be like, yeah, look, Dad doesn't hate
the Dodgers, like you know.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
There's no need to hate, but Dodgers. They're eighteen, you know,
do you remember your first experience at ball games?
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Get this?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Every time my daughter's gone to a Mets game with me,
no joke. Mets are oh and four, So my daughter
has seen the Mets lose four times.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh, I get what you're saying. And now you're saying
that you dealt with a lot of pain throughout your life.
Why do you want to expose your daughter to the
pain of disappointment?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
She sees the Mets go oh and four.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Since I've taken her once or twice a year, since
she's like four or five, right, so we've she's own
four as a Mets fan seeing them live.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
So she hasn't had a lot of reasons to cheer,
and she's seen dad and disappointed and upset throughout the year.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
She's only seen the Mets on the road, right, so
she's like, no one's really rooting for them except us. Look,
everyone else is rooting for the Angels or the Dodgers
or wherever I've taken her, right, And now she goes
last night and everybody's guess what my daughter, Hello kitty
we hat or a Hello Kitty like plushy like those
big stuffies.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
They gave her a Hello Kitty stuff and guess what
she gets to see a home run from none other
than show. Hey time, I mean you know what. Again.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
On a lower level, you know what, it's kind of like,
it's like you you let your kids stay over a
friend's house and they come back with all these different
ideals and thoughts about the world.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're like, hey, relax with that.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
It's like they were pushing their morals and ideals and
their values on your kid.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
On a very low level, I'm being serious, like, I know,
it's not that serious. It's not that deep as the kid,
WO say, it's not that big of a deal. But
it's like, hey, you sent her out as a Mets fan,
she came home a Dodgers fan.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Slow down and relaxed.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
It's like your kid goes away to college and they
come back from liberal hippie right.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
On a lower level, it's like, hey, stop trying to
brainwash my kid.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I sent her out with a Mets hat on.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Or they come back with a new menu, a new taste.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, I'm a.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Pantry. Your kitchen's way better than yours.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah it's okay, Wait a second, I'm a vegan. So again,
we're from the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You guys know that Covino and Richard for Dan Patrick
from Union, New Jersey, Riches from Franklin Square, Long Island.
I grew up a Yankees fan. Rich grew up a
Mets fan. We're out here in Los Angeles, been out
here for a long time.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Now.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
It's all our kids really know. Do you force them
to root for your team or do you let them
enjoy the beautiful run that the Dodgers are going?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
With me right now?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I joke, be part of the fun Lakers, Fun, La Fun.
I joked with the parents who took her last night
again good friends of ours. I said, I gotta keep
them a little in New York, meaning my kids, because
we're out here in l AM. I got all my
kids starting to soft La kids.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I'm like, what are they gonna do next?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Started to start pronouncing Italian foods the right way, right right.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Right, look, And there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
I'm not gonna say there's wrong with doing their own
thing and their own choices and their own decisions. I
get that, you know, I have independent thinkers. But there's
also nothing wrong with tradition and nothing wrong with Hey,
we're a Mets family or we're a blank family. And
this is what we do together as a family.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I joked with my wife because my wife's from South Texas,
and I said, our kids are La kids.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You're a Texan, I'm in New Yorker.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We need to keep a little Texas and a little
New York in their life so that they know where
they came.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
From, a little bit of country, a little bit of
rocket roll, I said.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
They need, They need that knowledge of like, yeah, you know,
I got a little bit of a New York edge.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
My parents are from New York and uh, they're from Texas,
so they need those are two cool places. By the way,
I mean, yeah, don't lose that completely as we go
to your feet or roots.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
There's nothing wrong with your roots, So I think that's
also important. Could she have fun at a Dodgers game. Yeah,
have all the fun you want. But remember, honey, we're
a Mets family. Nothing wrong with that. You're not brainwashing
your kid, you're not guilt tripping them.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
You're just them. That's who we are, and be proud
about it.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Character that's our one of our buses, got that runs
this place done?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Yeah he goes mayor Dodge. Just pay the bills for
a lot of people around here. If were you at
like the Dodgas, Like you know that's true. You know,
you know, as you get older and your mind changes
on things. And again that's why I said, on the
lowest of levels sports is fine. So it's not that serious,
but it does say a little something right, And again
it's also a very important bonding sort of thing, like
(21:34):
we said, with your kids. You want to have those
moments with your kids. Yeah, you can still enjoy a ballgame,
but you know, it's cooler when your rooting interest is
the same.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I want to get the phones going eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox in for Dan Patrick Kevino on
Rich what level of forcing when it comes to your
kids rooting for the same team as you.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Have to force anything. We don't have to be so
willy nilly.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Well, hold on, let me ask you one little rub
and then we'll take your fee. Does it extend to
other stuff like music? Like if you're a big rock
fan and your kids like dad, I hate rocket love country,
do you say like we're a rock family, Like you've
worked in rock radio and sports your whole life. What
if your daughter is like rock lame I like you
know edm dance mu'sic.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Dad, Well, I think music and trends are ever changing,
so I would never force my stuff on my kid.
I would try to influence them unless it's the and
heavily influence them.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, but Yankees.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
It's not like I'm telling her to root for the
nineteen ninety six Yankees, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
So why would you expect a kid to listen to
the type.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Of music you like? That's true, right, because those are
trends that are changing. So anyway, your thoughts on this.
We're La transplants. The kids are gonna be sucked into
LA fandom, but we're not from LA. How do you
handle that to me? Like I said, there's no excuse anymore.
You could still watch your team regardless of where you are.
It's not like Rich doesn't have access to New York
(22:58):
Mets baseball. He does show your thoughts. Plus, we got
to talk about vacation conversations and involve sports.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, ties it to Rory McElroy.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Plus a lot of quarterback rumors and speculation. As we're
less than ten days from the NFL Draft, so we
got a lot of NFL We'll have a lot of fun.

Gonna talk about some NFL quarterback moves and some speculation
and some rumors coming up in a few minutes, plus
what type of vacation.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Person are you?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
A lot a lot of fun in randomness. But here's
where we start today.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
My daughter goes to the Dodgers game last night with
her little girlfriends, her little galpals, my daughter seven, and
one of the moms is like, we're taking the girls
because it's Hello Kitty night.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And I was like, yeah, you could bring my daughter.
Thank you for the invite.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
My daughter comes home last night with a Hello Kitty
Dodgers stuffy, a Dodger's hat and a little helmet, and
she's like, Dad, I think I like the Dodgers, but
I mean a root for the Mets if they play
each other. And I'm like, oh, she's just saying that
because she doesn't want to crush me.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
There's a lot going on here, man, because first and
first mostly, as we say here on the show, most
importantly is the fun that she had. Okay, so let's
be real about it. Let's go dodge, man. They're just
rubbing it into Dad's face. Dad's a lifelong Mets guy.
And again, these are your roots and you got to
be proud of them. We're out here alone in Los Angeles,
(26:27):
live in LA what he do.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
My daughter has never been to City Field, and this
summer when we go visit New York family, I'm gonna
take her for the first time. We live in La
am I doing her a disservice by being like, no,
we're much fair. There's so many ways to look at it.
I'm the dad of teenage daughter. She doesn't give a
Diddley squad about baseball. Meanwhile, her dad's like obsessed with
baseball and the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Right, so.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
You do your best to influence your kids. However, I
bond over music and other things with my daughter, right.
I think you have a duty as a parent, not
just as a dad, as a parent to say the
right things and to do your part. But then they're
gonna make their own choices anyway, and you learn that
as time goes on, and about everything like political views,
(27:20):
ways of life, any sort of thing that you think.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You feel it's your job.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
It could be as simple as hey, they notice stay
safe and put on their seat belt. But it's your
job as your dad, as a dad, or as a
parent to remind them, hey, put your seatbelt.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
On.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I know that, I know, but I'm just doing my job.
It's kind of your job to be like, remember, we.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Root for the Mets.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
If they make their own decisions and she becomes a
Dodgers fan, you know that's that's fine. They're gonna make
their own decisions. But you still have to do your part.
That's my point. You also have to about, yeah, I
guess she's no, we're daughters fans and say what a
smile because you're not going to force her to think
what you think. But you got a reminder. We're Dodgers fan,
(28:07):
I mean we're Mets fans. See now you're you're you're
confused with me?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Are we doctors?
Speaker 4 (28:13):
So your calls, your feedback, phones are all let every
single line, so handle it. When your kid chooses a
different team, let's go rapid fire, or as we like
to say, throw it back to the nineties cross fire.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We get caught up in the know.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
You never had that, while I never had it, but
I'm very well aware of it. That means you got
to be snappy. Let's go through all the phone calls.
Me seven seven ninety nine on Fox Pennsylvania, Mio, what's
going on?
Speaker 9 (28:39):
Hey, thank you first time, long time. I love the Cowboys.
I grew up Cowboys fan. I baby hate everything Philadelphia sports.
Oh yeah, my villin has been influenced by his cousins
and his cousin's family and now came up to me
and said, Dad, I love the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Come on, yeah, you know I love it. Hate that
story all once for me.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Yeah, but you also have to teach again, try again
your part, right, You can't control of your kid and
you want them to be free thinkers and be proud
of their choices. But you have to teach them, or
at least try to teach and preach to them that no,
we don't fall into peer pressure. You know, have a backbone.
This is who we are and that's just what we do.
You gotta just do your part.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Like you said, heartbreak, Like you said, there's times in
life where you you do lose control of your kids.
And the example we gave was how many times does
a kid come back from college and all of a
sudden they were like a liberal hippie and their parents
like what hap real time?
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yeah, I'm sure our parents felt the same way about us.
Dave in Colorado, what's up, Dave?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Hey, Dave.
Speaker 10 (29:42):
What's up, guys, thanks for taking the.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Call, no problem, thank you.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Yoh man, I got a I guess a quick admission.
I'm a I grew up and Detroy, so we attended
all all like old school Pistons games and Tigers games
when you could find tickets on the ground walk right
in so by the fault. That was kind of a
detriped sports fan. But I've been in call out of
twenty I don't know, over twenty years now, and my
rear end kicked in at an Avalanche game wearing some
(30:07):
some red wings here when I'm just more of a
hockey and a sports fan. So I don't know. I
agree with you guys about your concepts of snowplow parenting.
You want to have your kids go through the diversity,
but man, I don't know if I want them feel
And that's shit from wearing like an out of town jersey,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
The one sport I guess I would say I'm most
passionate about as far as that's that's my old school
team is is baseball.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I'm a kid from Long Island. I love the Mets, right, So.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Can't they give dad that, you know, what I'm saying
if they want to root for the Lakers or hey, fine,
I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I'll even myself. I was never a big Knicks fan.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I can't call myself a Lakers fan, but I've been
out here over a decade.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
I like Lakers, Kings. I'm a big hockey basketball guy.
My diehard alliances are NFL and Major League Baseball. So
not all traditions have to die rich. Yeah, you know,
like she carries your last name because you're her dad. Yeah,
you know what, I'll give you this one, And she
carries the Mets losing tradition because you're her dad.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
How do you feel about this?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Danny, g You and I and could you know we've
all come up in the radio ranks, and you know,
we all have these friends that have moved around the
country for radio or TV gigs, Like, hey, are friend Nico,
he's a new morning guy in Phoenix. Or hey, you
remember Dana who used to work on the show. She's
the new news anchor at Philadelphia. How do you feel
about when media personalities adopt the city they live in
(31:31):
for a long time? Sports, Like our buddy Nico is
from Detroit, but he's but he's the morning guy in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Now there's a way to handle that respectfully. The Cardinals,
you can do your job and show some cardinal pride,
but you got to represent.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
It would be really hard to just bold face lie
to your new listeners, especially with the ink I have
on my body. You know, how would I suddenly be
a fan of their team?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, you're you're You're an extreme example.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
But I see my buddy Nico, who I know, grew
up in Detroit, lived in New York for like twenty years.
He's a big time morning guy in Phoenix, and I
see him like on social media, like yo yo Sons.
He's you know, Sons fired their coach, you know, go Sons.
I'm like, Sons, if he really meant that he's just
a people pleaser, and I know he's not. He's our pal,
(32:19):
so I think he's just doing his job and he's
doing the right thing in that moment.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
But he could be. You could be a heel and
just as popular.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It's true.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I mean even our former president didn't Obama wear like
a White Sox jersey, your hat or something.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That Wrigley.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
White Sox hat.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
He never like denied his fandom, but he did it respectfully,
like there's ways to do it. You know, he to
be such a bandwagon person. I mean Giuliani before the
hair dyed dripping down his face, when he when when
the world loved him before, you know, things were weird
because it just was a Yankee and where you're from,
it's not that serious. And I respected that. He was
very diehard Yankees. All right, Johnna Florida rapid fire.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
What's up? John A.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Fellas, what's good?
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Good morning? Like the New Time slot.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
You know me, I'm a big New England Boston.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Fan of all the sports.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
And uh I got three boys, so I thought the
Celtics in the in the Pats on them hockey and baseball.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
I let them figure it out.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
But the Celtics and Paths big time.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I think that's the rule.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I think we've come to some weird hybrid conclusion that
if your kids are growing up in a different city
than you are, you could pick. You could be like, hey, kids,
I get it. We we live in Dallas now. I
grew up here. But there's one team this our family is.
We're Mets fan.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Maybe I tell my kids, hey, we're Mets fans football, basketball, hockey.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Do you think make make your decision?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Kids?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Yeah, but dad's holding strong. Yeah, we are Mets again,
because that's your part. They're gonna make their own minds
up anyway, unfortunately. So yeah, I think that's it. I
want them to think.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
About me when I'm an old guy, when you know,
when I'm in my nineties and up and I croak
and the Met's finally when the World's Series the year
after I die, I want them to think of me.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Ron in South Dakota, what's up?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Ron? Hey?
Speaker 11 (34:09):
This ONRN. My situation is very easy. I was born
and raised in Chicago. My son was born in Chicago,
but we left there for the Twin Cities before he
was two years old. Yet he's a Cubs fan, do
to me. But I give them the right to be
a Twins fan also since he's in the Twin Cities.
(34:30):
And it's easy because Cubs is National League, Twins is
americanly Now, if there was in the same league, same
division or anything, we might have to go to court
and get some papers to solve something on this, you know.
But with the girl, it's different too.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah, you know what's interesting. Let me add one more
rub coming on, they will take the last couple. I
see my son playing teble. I coach his team, and
when they get up to bat, I'll say things to
them like I, come on, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Get those you know, get those hands back, you know,
drive through the ball, just like and I think in
my head I have to use Dodgers like come on,
who you Mookie, Betsy you Freddy Freeman?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yo, all right, you're o Tani. Let's see that stroke.
You're not saying polar Bear.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
P I'm not saying polar Bear peak because all the
little boys tell vampe, yeah who is Soto? My my
son and his little friends on his T ball team. Oh,
they're not telling him come on, just like Timmy Tuffell
used to do. Come on, just like len use.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Those hips, use those hips, just like the toughle shuffle,
Daryl Strawberry swing man. Get better than that.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
But you know, at some point, I don't want my
kid to feel like the weirdo when everyone else is like,
go Dodgers, and he's like, yeah, guys, I.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Like, what was that campaign we grew up with?
Speaker 5 (35:42):
There to be different, all right, There to be It's
not that big of a deal. If he's a Mets fan,
you know, and you can say, hey, it's not that
big of a deal. On the flip side, I get
it because it is. It's fun, it's sports. But it's
okay that he's the one kid that roots for the
Dodgers or the See now you get me confused right
here in Los Angeles. That's why. Now we'll wrap up
(36:05):
with your phone calls. Plus, we gotta play Whack Diesel trivia,

The Swiggy with the Swaggy. That's our steamless steel water bottle,
Rich and it's a good looking water bottle. So we're
giving away prizes playing Whack Diesel triviaator. Yesterday you and
I were talking off there about the difference between bribery
and incentives.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
That's a conversation in itself because we're talking about kids.
If you got kids, let me give you the difference.
Bribery is usually something they're supposed to do, like if
you behave, we'll get ice cream.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Just supposed to behave.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I'm not giving no, I'm done with bribery, by the way,
as a parent, no longer. Hey have a dad's I
guess a zoom call. If you're quiet, we'll go get
a Pokemonty. No, no, that's bride.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I'm done.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Incentive is reward system. Incentive is, hey, you do good
on your homework. Hey, we've been working on your swing.
If you get a base hit today, you get you
know something, that's incentives. I'm cool with incentives. Bribery for
the birds. Speaking of parenting, that's what we're wrapping up
right now. Before we took football and a little NBA
here on the show. We're out here as transplants in
(38:26):
Los Angeles. Why you look at my hair when you
said that, Yeah, so this is my hair? Yeah, sure
it is. I didn't go to what country do people
go to?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Turkey? Turkey?
Speaker 5 (38:36):
Why do you always forget that people come back from
Turkey with their heads all wrapped up because it's all inclusive.
It's like, for six thousand dollars, they'll take you, they'll
fly you out there, full stay, and you come back
with a full head of hair. One of my buddies
came back with a pumpador. I was like, dude, no way,
So Anyway, we're out here in LA, and of course
(38:57):
we're in New York sports fans, but Rich's kids are
starting to lean LA Dodgers because that's all they know
and that's all their friends talk about. When you're truly
passionate about your teams, how do you handle that? And
what are your thoughts on it? Nine on Fox Adam
in Orlando, what's up at him?
Speaker 11 (39:19):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Fellas?
Speaker 9 (39:20):
How are y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
We're good, man, what's up?
Speaker 9 (39:22):
Good?
Speaker 6 (39:23):
So my wife is seven months pregnant right now, who's
got a little boy on the way.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Congress, so appreciate him.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
And so I am a die I hate to admit this,
I'm a diehard Jacksonville Gaguarre saying, and I would not
put that on my kid to save my tick, my life.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Yeah, So what I think.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
I'm gonna do? I don't know if you all have
seen this new TikTok trend basically put out like four
or five of the stuff. He's all and I'm doing
Florida teams and whatever one he goes to, we're gonna
I'm gonna switch. I'm still gonna love the Jags, but
I'm not gonna put him through that. So whichever stuff
he chooses, we'll be fans of that.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
It's like a kid picking what college has he's going through.
I love that. Robert in Washington State with up.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
Hey Rob, you know what's going on though?
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Good morning, Hey, So just a little thing.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
I'm a Niner fan. I've been ever since I can remember,
and I remember when I was younger. My dad, he's
a single father. He would date chicks and he would
accommodate his liking to their teams. He's actually a Raider fan,
but I didn't know that. I started Chair for the
Night who was back in the day, and here I
am a lifelong Niner fan and they are a fan.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
So I dude, your dad wanted that booty so bad
that he'd be like, yeah, whatever team the girl wanted, boy,
I love your dad was chasing her.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
He was a fan of women. Yeah, that seems like
Booty more than the fixed skin. Derek and Sokel wrapped
this up.
Speaker 12 (40:41):
Hey, guys, just want to say good morning. I am
a long time transplant from New York. I was born there,
moved out here when we were when I was twelve
years old. I am a diamond diehard New York football
Giants fan, but I'm also a Dodgers fan being out
here in l A and my family. I got twin
(41:02):
boy and girls thirteen years old, and my wife.
Speaker 8 (41:04):
They all all love.
Speaker 12 (41:05):
The same teams I do. When I see my family
sitting around during Giants games with their jerseys on, and
I'm like, oh my god, what did I do? And
then sometimes yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, but you know what, it sounds like you did
your job, right.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
That's all you can do is be a great influence
as a parent. They're gonna make their own decisions up
and mind up anyway.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
So Frank Stinger, so here's what we got coming up.
We're gonna talk a little vacation. What type of vacationer

time saying his name. Plus Chador Sandor had a lot
