Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Cavino and Rich and for the Great Dan Patrick. Day
Speaker 2: one of the Dan Patrick Patrick Live from Mercedes Benz Studios.
Speaker 3: I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I hope you had a great Valent Times weekend, bop by.
Speaker 2: Hope you enjoyed some Russell stovers. Hope you enjoyed the
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Game? Was it SNL or Cobra kai
Speaker 2: that overshadowed the everything NBA All Star Game. We're taking
Speaker 2: your calls and your feedback now on Rich's NBA analogy.
Speaker 2: He's basically saying that there's no blueprint on what works
Speaker 2: and what doesn't work. But I hope you had a
Speaker 2: nice weekend of Steph Curry sort of weekend. He got
Speaker 2: the MVP, his second All Star Game MVP. The OG's
Speaker 2: got the win. We'll play some Shack Diesel trivia. But
Speaker 2: you want to explain again, Rich, Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 2: evident that.
Speaker 5: In generally we like to think that we could tell
Speaker 5: people what they're interested in, what they like, what they
Speaker 5: gravitate towards networks.
Speaker 6: Do it.
Speaker 5: Podcasts, do it TV shows, movies, there's a sentiment that, oh,
Speaker 5: we know what the public wants, But a lot of
Speaker 5: times the public just tells you what they want. You
Speaker 5: could try to push a new artist, a new athlete,
Speaker 5: a new face of a company on the general public,
Speaker 5: but they could very well just be like, now, we
Speaker 5: don't like that, we like that. It's like the famous
Speaker 5: story of Happy Days. Fansie wasn't supposed to be the
Speaker 5: main character How I Met your Mother? It wasn't supposed
Speaker 5: to be about Barney Stinson.
Speaker 3: Did I do that?
Speaker 2: Tory Nichols wasn't supposed to be anything more than a
Speaker 2: quick cameo on Cobra Kai.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that same category as Fansie.
Speaker 2: It's more relevant than Henry Winkler, even though I love him.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying the season premiere just wrapped up Tory.
Speaker 2: He's the main character of Cobra Kai.
Speaker 5: But it just shows you that, you know, like I said,
Speaker 5: h rkle Phonsie, these are not design the public decided.
Speaker 5: So you could say these are the new faces of
Speaker 5: our sport. But if the public doesn't gravitate towards them,
Speaker 5: if you, as the average NBA fan, what matchup you'd
Speaker 5: want in the NBA most people would say, I don't know,
Speaker 5: maybe like the Warriors are the Lakers because they're still
Speaker 5: hung up on Steph and Lebron and those older faces.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think if you're asking why
Speaker 2: is this because your point is valid. I think everybody
Speaker 2: and everything goes through transitional ups and downs, like transitional phases.
Speaker 2: We I think we were a little spoiled in the NFL,
Speaker 2: Like when we got all these slew of new quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: it made the transition easier. He's like, whoa, wait a second.
Speaker 2: All these dudes are really good, I mean guys, and
Speaker 2: you embrace the new guys immediately.
Speaker 5: We say goodbye to Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and you know,
Speaker 5: Drew Brees and that crew of quarterbacks. But we also
Speaker 5: welcomed in Burrow, Jackson, Josh Allen, like Jalen hurts that.
Speaker 2: So it's like the holidays when you're grown up. Remember
Speaker 2: when you were kid, how great the holidays seemed. Then
Speaker 2: everybody grew up and no one had kids yet, so
Speaker 2: the holiday seemed boring because you were going through that
Speaker 2: transitional stage of life and family. All of a sudden,
Speaker 2: your sister started having kids, and there was kids back
Speaker 2: in the mix, and the holidays got exciting again. You're like, oh, wow,
Speaker 2: their holidays are brack. I guess now we just got
Speaker 2: through that transitional stage. And maybe the NBA, well, all
Speaker 2: the changes they're making and all the changes they're forced
Speaker 2: to make, and thinking about the way the game has
Speaker 2: changed with three points and it's become boring, and Silver's
Speaker 2: trying to for you out, well, how do we fix it?
Speaker 2: And a new format for the All Star Game. All
Speaker 2: these things are a little confusing to people. There's a
Speaker 2: new slew of characters that not everybody's embracing yet. It's
Speaker 2: just the transition all I said, they'll be a moment
Speaker 2: in time where all of a sudden you're like, ah,
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 3: An I have another reason.
Speaker 5: Who's arguably the best Major League Baseball play that's never
Speaker 5: sniffed the postseason for the most part, For the most part, Trout.
Speaker 5: Mike Trout Right, you could argue, maybe not the most
Speaker 5: personality plus guy. But you know what also takes a
Speaker 5: star like Mike Trout from being next level star never
Speaker 5: being relevant when it matters in the playoffs. Do you
Speaker 5: think maybe if the Spurs were more of an elite
Speaker 5: team and had had more weapons and more, you know,
Speaker 5: more of a vibe around Wemby. Wemby to me, is
Speaker 5: the most intriguing young star. But in a league where
Speaker 5: twenty of the thirty teams make the playoffs, they're still
Speaker 5: on the outside looking in. Is that a part of
Speaker 5: it too, where Danny, the biggest young star that might
Speaker 5: be the biggest quote attraction, isn't even on a playoff
Speaker 5: caliber team.
Speaker 7: Well, one of my favorite players in the league right
Speaker 7: now is de Aaron Fox, and the Kings traded him
Speaker 7: to the Spurs. So the Spurs are trying to work
Speaker 7: on what you're talking about right now.
Speaker 3: I mean you can't.
Speaker 2: We're coming off of crazy highs of a great MLB season,
Speaker 2: first time in a long time, what I said, another
Speaker 2: exciting NFL season, and then you're like NBA and you're
Speaker 2: trying to play catch up now.
Speaker 5: But no, but it goes back to what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Otani is the biggest star. But guess what he also did.
Speaker 5: The biggest star showed up on the biggest stage and
Speaker 5: that team won the World Series.
Speaker 2: I think once the I'm stating the obvious here, but
Speaker 2: once the playoffs are kicking in and you're seeing Lebron
Speaker 2: and Luca do their thing again. Big team, big national,
Speaker 2: nationwide team, not just here in LA with superstars that
Speaker 2: you recognize. When you see them competing with these younger
Speaker 2: dudes that you really don't know that well, you start
Speaker 2: kicking in and your fandom starts to kick in, and
Speaker 2: you start getting excited about it.
Speaker 3: Luke and Lebron, Stephen Draymond like the names that you
Speaker 3: want to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're tuning into the NBA right after the NFL,
Speaker 2: right after Super Bowl. You all hyped up about super
Speaker 2: Bowl and then you're tuning into the NBA because it's
Speaker 2: all there is to tune into right as we approach
Speaker 2: All Star break. So that's kind of boring as a
Speaker 2: casual NBA fan.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Andy and Rhode Island. Andy, What is it?
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 2: And I don't want to talk about, Well, the NBA,
Speaker 2: it's three pointers and.
Speaker 3: This and that.
Speaker 8: Andy.
Speaker 5: To me, it's just saying you just can't force what works. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you can't force you can't tell people what they like.
Speaker 9: No, absolutely, guys, And I feel that because you know,
Speaker 9: a lot of it.
Speaker 10: Kind of just goes back to Revision's history, because you know,
Speaker 10: we can't really see who's gonna be, you know, the
Speaker 10: next breakout generational players ahead of time, so we kind
Speaker 10: of just cling back to, you know, the guys that's
Speaker 10: still in the league that have been doing it for
Speaker 10: so long, because I feel like.
Speaker 9: A lot of it has to do with social media.
Speaker 9: We have so much access to these guys that in
Speaker 9: essen it's always on to the next with the current
Speaker 9: society that we're living nowadays.
Speaker 10: And it's just so tricky because we want to embrace
Speaker 10: the new guys, but then.
Speaker 9: I feel like a lot of these new guys they
Speaker 9: don't have that superstar you know, that whole horizon energy
Speaker 9: that we look forward to it just like you know,
Speaker 9: you go back to Michael Jordan's he was so polarizing,
Speaker 9: but it was so it was such a mystery because
Speaker 9: we didn't have all the access to end So that
Speaker 9: I feel like that's the biggest difference.
Speaker 10: And you know, like you guys said, it's.
Speaker 9: A transitional phase and we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 11: Right now is just up in the air.
Speaker 9: You know, we can only hope for the best for
Speaker 9: the NBA, but it seems like where Grace and the
Speaker 9: NFL stars a lot faster because the NFL is this case,
Speaker 9: it really is.
Speaker 2: It is, and it's that that good of a product
Speaker 2: where you're not really competing with anything. If you're a
Speaker 2: casual NBA fan, you're oversaturated with other options. Like if
Speaker 2: you asked me honestly over the weekend, yeah, would you
Speaker 2: rather watch the NBA All Star Game or Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2: I'm watching Cobra Kai. Sounds ridiculous, but we have. My
Speaker 2: point is, you have options. As your mom would say,
Speaker 2: up the wazoo. You have so many other things to watch.
Speaker 4: Mom.
Speaker 2: It's competing with all the other things, you know. So
Speaker 2: it's a mixture. It's a perfect storm of all of
Speaker 2: these things, Richie. I can't force these things, the new formats,
Speaker 2: the new stars, and you have all these other things
Speaker 2: to watch.
Speaker 3: George and La, what's.
Speaker 4: Up, Bud, what's up?
Speaker 12: Fellas?
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 4: Hey, buddy, Hey Man.
Speaker 13: Got to hear you guys this morning.
Speaker 14: It was a good surprise.
Speaker 3: Oh nice, man, high surprise surprise.
Speaker 12: Sorry with your daughter, brother.
Speaker 14: I felt cool, man, that was real cool.
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks man, It was all right. You know, it's
Speaker 3: a weird.
Speaker 2: It's a weird moment to just sort of accept that
Speaker 2: your daughter it's not her first boyfriend, but she's fifteen now,
Speaker 2: so different right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's on your mind, George.
Speaker 13: Hey, Bro, I'll tell you it wasn't cool that sprinky
Speaker 13: dinky All Star game.
Speaker 12: Bro.
Speaker 13: It was pretty lame.
Speaker 14: It was non competitive.
Speaker 13: They need to come up with the better idea.
Speaker 12: Maybe, how about like something like, well.
Speaker 13: What hockey does?
Speaker 14: That hockey game was was beast, Bro, that was awesome. First.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hockey sold weekend with their fights, I mean hockey fights.
Speaker 3: You know what it was. This weekend was hockey fights.
Speaker 5: Saturday Night Live fifty and a couple other things that
Speaker 5: all sort of overshadowed as a pick a ball tournament.
Speaker 7: There was some crazy crashes in the Daytona five hundred
Speaker 7: and when that picked up after the weather delay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want to I don't want to be
Speaker 5: the guy that piles on I don't want to kick
Speaker 5: the NBA walls.
Speaker 2: But if you weren't painting the narrative, then you wouldn't
Speaker 2: be accurate either. And that was the narrative on. If
Speaker 2: you took the temperature on social media and just the
Speaker 2: buzz of of what people were saying about All Star Weekend,
Speaker 2: that's exactly it. If you see it otherwise, feel free
Speaker 2: to share. We're just painting a picture for you. As
Speaker 2: I said to you, I don't want to.
Speaker 5: I just don't want to pile on and be like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I MEA stinks, right, guys, because I just think there's
Speaker 5: a they're trying. Adam Silver was striking. I'm just saying
Speaker 5: you can't force people to like something.
Speaker 2: I mean another thing though, just the show that You're
Speaker 2: not rich is again, that's the overall sentiment of how
Speaker 2: people are feeling. Right, So we're not gonna come here
Speaker 2: and be like, dude, that was electric, are we would
Speaker 2: sound ridiculous?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right.
Speaker 2: Draymond Green over the weekend was basically talking about how
Speaker 2: flat it was, how weak it was, how you have
Speaker 2: these you know, young players out there that don't deserve
Speaker 2: to be out there, and that the format didn't work
Speaker 2: like he made it no secret And that's been a
Speaker 2: theory of ours too on this show. When you have
Speaker 2: the analysts and former players and current players dumping on
Speaker 2: the product, how do you expect the casual fan to
Speaker 2: be excited about it?
Speaker 3: That's bad marketing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there were twenty minute breaks in that bracket final
Speaker 7: and a lot of the players spoke out afterwards saying
Speaker 7: they didn't like it. They understand that it needs to
Speaker 7: be kind of stretched out for TV, right, and they're
Speaker 7: just being honest. But like Kevin Hart was doing stand
Speaker 7: up and little skits and he was at Lebron's locker
Speaker 7: putting his shoes on and you know, and Trey Young
Speaker 7: said he was part of Chuck's Global Stars. I didn't
Speaker 7: like the breaks. The games were so short. Obviously we
Speaker 7: can score, so they're trying to, I feel like, extend
Speaker 7: the game, you know, because they need breaks and things
Speaker 7: like that. But the players want to play yeah.
Speaker 2: And I think the silver lining here is they're trying
Speaker 2: to figure it out or trying to give you something else.
Speaker 2: Like we always say Rich Gary Vee, we quote him
Speaker 2: innovator died or trying to innovate and trying to make
Speaker 2: things exciting.
Speaker 3: So that's the positive.
Speaker 7: They're testing it on live TV, though is the the issues.
Speaker 7: Like us, once in a while on our afternoon show,
Speaker 7: we'll test a game, a new game that we're gonna play, yeah,
Speaker 7: and it kind of evolves into the final product that
Speaker 7: we put on the air every week, And that first
Speaker 7: week or two we do it. We laugh, We have
Speaker 7: fun with it. It's a little rough, but imagine millions and
Speaker 7: millions of viewers watching something you're trying to figure out
Speaker 7: in real time.
Speaker 5: You know, your final thoughts on the NBA All Star weekend.
Speaker 5: We'll get to that. Plus a birthday of maybe the
Speaker 5: most famous athlete of our lifetime and will there.
Speaker 3: Ever be another?
Speaker 5: We'll explain that's all coming up next, your buds Covino

Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio President's Day and uh hey, first president
Speaker 5: to throw out a first pitch, you know who it is.
Speaker 3: George Bush to do a perfect strike? Was he the
Speaker 3: first to throw strike?
Speaker 7: It was Taft because he was hanging out with Babe
Speaker 7: Ruth eating hot dogs.
Speaker 4: Bro very good.
Speaker 14: Danny G.
Speaker 3: Taft was the first president to start the tradition.
Speaker 2: I thought he was the first to eat hot dogs
Speaker 2: with the with bait with the babe, but he also
Speaker 2: gets sticking to batt of the fat Ass a lot
Speaker 2: of first with taft.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's President's Day. A lot of people have off.
Speaker 5: If you're stuck working today, either your boss hate here
Speaker 5: or make that double time or something right.
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you had a nice holiday weekend. Happy
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day weekend.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 2: We're Covino and Rich at Covino and Rich coov I
Speaker 2: n O Covino and Rich Davis, and we're on two
Speaker 2: to four out here on the West Monday through Friday,
Speaker 2: five to seven on the East. We have a bonus
Speaker 2: podcast too, called over Promise that you could watch on
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, but search it where ever
Speaker 2: you stream your podcast.
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich or over Promised.
Speaker 2: We appreciate that, Rich to wrap up the first hour
Speaker 2: of trying to figure out why don't I care? Because
Speaker 2: you never want to feel like something's wrong with you.
Speaker 2: I think that's where it first starts, like is it me?
Speaker 2: Why don't I care? The way other people seem to care?
Speaker 2: Does everybody not care? And then you go to social media,
Speaker 2: you run the X to see what other people are saying,
Speaker 2: and you realize, well it seems like everybody's saying it sucked,
Speaker 2: even the players, and Trey Young and Dreymond Green are
Speaker 2: saying the All Star weekend sucked. I think it comes
Speaker 2: down to again transitional stage. They're figuring it out. The
Speaker 2: game has changed. We have lots of options, but we
Speaker 2: also don't really invest in anything that feels like an exhibition.
Speaker 2: So when the players feel like they're not playing and
Speaker 2: they don't care, it's like the Pro Bowl, Like the
Speaker 2: NFL is still a great product, Did you care about
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl? No, because they don't care. They're playing
Speaker 2: patty Cake. And that's kind of what happened with the
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Game. They don't seem to care really
Speaker 2: that much, even though Trey Young is like, yo, we
Speaker 2: want to play. Yeah, But that's starting to happen with
Speaker 2: the NBA regular season, right And when it starts to
Speaker 2: feel like an exhibition, like, hey, do they even care,
Speaker 2: then it's hard.
Speaker 3: For you to care. You know, not not just All
Speaker 3: Star weekend.
Speaker 5: But you know, again, if if you didn't hear Draymond
Speaker 5: when you got one of the stars of the game
Speaker 5: talking about how he doesn't care, then.
Speaker 3: Then what are we doing here? They listen you work.
Speaker 15: All year to be an All Star and you get
Speaker 15: to play up to forty and then you're done. This
Speaker 15: is so unfair to Victor Winbyama, who just took this
Speaker 15: game really seriously, Shay Gilles Alexander, who just took this
Speaker 15: game really seriously. When you talk about not for the points, wreckers,
Speaker 15: mellow with Kobe and all these guys who've had great
Speaker 15: scaring nights, they don't get the opportunity to do that
Speaker 15: with this game. Also, we can watch some rising stars.
Speaker 15: We're about to watch the Olympic team. Now we get
Speaker 15: to treat of watching the Olympic team play against the
Speaker 15: U nineteen team.
Speaker 3: Come on, what are we doing all of one to ten?
Speaker 3: Your thoughts of the format.
Speaker 4: Ten being the best? Yes, A zero sucks. Zero sucks.
Speaker 3: Thanks to Draymond for endorsing your own product.
Speaker 2: And Trey Young even said that. To be honest, I
Speaker 2: didn't like it at all as far as how it
Speaker 2: all panned out and worked over the weekend, And that's fine.
Speaker 2: You got to take chances, got to figure it out.
Speaker 2: We're just again not complaining explaining.
Speaker 5: Ye I mean everyone everyone has been trying to, you know,
Speaker 5: figure this out. Adam Silvers you know, has a tough
Speaker 5: job of all the answers sort of being things that
Speaker 5: mean less money, meaning less games, maybe less playoff teams,
Speaker 5: But no, think those things will never happen because that
Speaker 5: just means less revenue. And then I asked you, do
Speaker 5: we just need some NBA start to do something we've
Speaker 5: never seen, meaning the way Michael Jordan flew through the
Speaker 5: air or the way Steph Curry was hitting, you know,
Speaker 5: half court threes. Does a young player need to do
Speaker 5: something different in the game that no one's ever done before?
Speaker 3: But what's left?
Speaker 5: What's left? What could someone do that no one's ever
Speaker 5: done before? Think about that, right, NBA? By the way,
Speaker 5: Danny G, what were your thoughts? You're the resident Laker
Speaker 5: but hardcore NBA fans supporter.
Speaker 4: Did you call me a Lakers? But yeah?
Speaker 3: What did you li? Lakers? Yeah?
Speaker 7: But yes, yeah, I mean I'm you guys are casual
Speaker 7: NBA fans, so I'm more of a basketball fan than
Speaker 7: you guys are.
Speaker 4: I thought it was okay.
Speaker 7: I mean I would give it a five out of
Speaker 7: ten right now because they still got to work the
Speaker 7: kinks out. So I'm curious to see how it is
Speaker 7: laid out for next season and if some stars get
Speaker 7: their butts into the slam Dunk contest, because that would
Speaker 7: change that. That's what initially as a little kid, drew
Speaker 7: me to the league. For All Star weekend. I wanted
Speaker 7: to see high flying action. I wanted to see Dominique
Speaker 7: and Jordan and spud Web and then a little bit later,
Speaker 7: you're New York, Nick or Bocker, you know who I'm
Speaker 7: talking about with the windmill in the high top fade.
Speaker 7: There were so many great stars and then guys who
Speaker 7: turned out to be borderline stars because they were in
Speaker 7: some of these competitions. So I understand what Raymond's saying.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, Rich you've been ranting on
Speaker 7: we need to know who these youngsters are and so
Speaker 7: they are getting some exposure. So we got to find
Speaker 7: a compromise here or something in the middle.
Speaker 5: I wonder if it's all ego based. I mean, and
Speaker 5: you're gonna be like, yeah, of course it is, like
Speaker 5: why aren't the stars participating in these contests?
Speaker 2: Well, Yannis, the story was Jiannis and Sean Morant were
Speaker 2: chirping on social media like, Yo, we gotta do this
Speaker 2: next year.
Speaker 3: I'm in if you're in.
Speaker 7: But it takes Mac McClung winning a third time for
Speaker 7: them to react and for them to get into this competition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you're super casual, he's a G League
Speaker 2: star who the stat was kind of interesting over the weekend.
Speaker 2: He's made one hundred and thirty two thousand in his
Speaker 2: NBA career, in his full NBA career since like twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, one hundred and thirty two thousand. In his
Speaker 2: slam dunk earnings three hundred and ten thousand.
Speaker 5: That's insane that a guy that you know is a
Speaker 5: non factor in the NBA is the guy that you're
Speaker 5: three time dunk champion.
Speaker 3: It just seems it seems silly to me. That's all
Speaker 3: part of it, though, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he should at least get to come off the
Speaker 7: magic bench. You know, I was talking about that high
Speaker 7: top fade. Rich, you had one of those back when
Speaker 7: you lived in New York, like Kenny Skywalker.
Speaker 3: That was the haircut, the two lines in it.
Speaker 5: It's just it's wild to think that ego would keep
Speaker 5: all these guys out of it. Well, anyway, Cavin on
Speaker 5: Rich Fox Sports Radio. Now, before we get to Danny
Speaker 5: J's boy, Lebron started that before we get to a
Speaker 5: big birthday today in the world of sports and some
Speaker 5: baseball baseball starting up, baseball, seat up, people are reporting
Speaker 5: to camp. I have a question, and it's more of
Speaker 5: a random hypothetical. I saw people debating this on social media.
Speaker 5: Do you find it acceptable? Well, you know, if everyone
Speaker 5: does their traveling, it's a holiday weekend. Is it acceptable
Speaker 5: to climb over someone in the middle seat on a plane?
Speaker 3: What do you mean if.
Speaker 5: You are supposed to use no If you're in the
Speaker 5: window seat and a stranger is next to you in
Speaker 5: the middle seat, yeah, and they're sleeping in the middle seat,
Speaker 5: do you give them a little nudge like I'm waking up?
Speaker 5: Or do you try to do the I'm gonna climb over.
Speaker 3: A stranger while they're sleeping.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you could do that. I try you try
Speaker 2: to squeeze by without waking them up.
Speaker 7: That's when you hide with your jacket and you urinate
Speaker 7: into a big gold cup.
Speaker 3: Is that what you did, Daddy?
Speaker 15: No.
Speaker 5: I but there was a big debate on social media.
Speaker 5: I mean that's how this weekend was. You know, it
Speaker 5: was all NBA All Star at SNL fifty. But I
Speaker 5: did see people debating this, and I did wonder can
Speaker 5: you climb over a stranger?
Speaker 3: Because think about that.
Speaker 2: Your options are either to wake the person up you're
Speaker 2: you're saying, assuming they're sleeping, right, Yeah, of course if
Speaker 2: they're the person up, or try to like shimmy by them.
Speaker 2: I think you're a school boy if you're like standing
Speaker 2: on the seat trying to like hurdle them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you try to shimmy buy them.
Speaker 2: Or or wake them up. Those are your only options.
Speaker 2: Play it accordingly, man, Is it intrusive to that? Game?
Speaker 3: Must have been really boring if this is what people
Speaker 3: were debating.
Speaker 5: It, Is it intrusive to like hover your body over
Speaker 5: a stranger that if they wake up and you're right.
Speaker 2: Over them, I mean, take your Danny in the window seat, right,
Speaker 2: they're doing what you gotta do.
Speaker 3: In that situation.
Speaker 5: If you in the middle sea, would you appreciate someone
Speaker 5: trying to climb over you or wake you up?
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, that's why you got the middle seat. That's
Speaker 2: why nobody wants it. That's like the price you pay
Speaker 2: snooze you lose. Nobody wants the middle seat because of
Speaker 2: those reasons. Thought I throw it out there. Something I
Speaker 2: saw over the weekend, because people, it's also matter how
Speaker 2: limber and agile is that person trying to hurtle over you?
Speaker 2: You know, is it some some big hairy fella breathe my.
Speaker 4: Friends, Bartolo Cologne?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is it some hot little chippy and yoga pants? You know,
Speaker 2: give me the scenario. Give you I was like, straddle
Speaker 2: over me. Then yeah, if it's Bartolo Cologne, I'm a
Speaker 2: little like annoyed by throwing it out there.
Speaker 5: Now today the big birthday, the big birthday in the
Speaker 5: world of sports. I want you to feel too old.
Speaker 5: But Michael Jordan turned sixty two today. Mj is sixty two.
Speaker 5: And there's two layers to this question. Layer one, is
Speaker 5: he the most popular forget athlete? Is he the most
Speaker 5: popular guy in the last fifty years on planet Earth?
Speaker 5: And then part two of the question, is it possible
Speaker 5: that in all sports baseball, basketball, football, tennis, hockey, you
Speaker 5: name it, will there ever be a brand bigger than
Speaker 5: the one created by Michael Jordan?
Speaker 2: Okay, you said in the last fifty years, that's nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy four, So the answer is gonna have to be
Speaker 2: seventy five. The answer is gonna have to be no
Speaker 2: to that because I'm not talking about just sports, I'm
Speaker 2: talking about talking worldwide, right, So you have to pick
Speaker 2: an international sport that would probably be like a Ronaldo
Speaker 2: or even fighting, you know, a Mike Tyson or Muhammad
Speaker 2: Ali because it was at least international. NBA was not international.
Speaker 2: The brand is now international and we all love it.
Speaker 2: But think of the movie with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Speaker 3: What was it called Air? Yeah, I mean that was
Speaker 3: in the eighties, so.
Speaker 2: By the time it became an international monster, it was
Speaker 2: long past fifty years ago or before fifty years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying I think if you said,
Speaker 5: if you were to say nineteen seventy five to twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five, I'm not even talking with sports. I'm saying
Speaker 5: on planet Earth, is.
Speaker 2: There a more popular guy who said in the past
Speaker 2: fifty years, past fifty years, Muhammad Ali was passed his prime, No,
Speaker 2: in seventy five, in late seventies. He was just fighting
Speaker 2: in the eighties, So you think, so you think Muhammad
Speaker 2: Ali is the answer theent I'm saying Jordan has surpassed
Speaker 2: all of that, But there has been other people internationally
Speaker 2: that were superstars are maybe just as big now with
Speaker 2: the sneaker brand, which I didn't have my first Jordan's
Speaker 2: until like eighty five, right was in like fifth sixth
Speaker 2: grade or something like that. Then it became an international thing.
Speaker 2: So there's been other people's my point, but you know,
Speaker 2: fast forward now, Yeah, your answer is dead on, spot on,
Speaker 2: And it seems like no one will ever be as
Speaker 2: big because the Jordan brand is so huge. But there
Speaker 2: has to be someone or something that comes along again
Speaker 2: and he's that next Jordan's. He's a lifetime, once in
Speaker 2: a lifetime kind of guy. But you know, once our
Speaker 2: lifetime is over, there'll be someone else.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: And I say that because other athletes have had successful
Speaker 5: sneak you know, lebron Kadi, steph is Shak had his
Speaker 5: sneaker brand and still does. All these guys have successfully
Speaker 5: done it, but they all pale in comparison to the
Speaker 5: billion dollar industry. Is the Jordan branch of Nike and everything.
Speaker 4: So seven billion dollars. By the way, you got to.
Speaker 5: Ask yourself, is there a baseball player, if Otani or
Speaker 5: who's the face of baseball?
Speaker 7: You know, you think it would have to be an
Speaker 7: international star like our grandkid's gonna say, oh, I got
Speaker 7: my Otani's on.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: The world's a bigger place or a smaller place, I
Speaker 2: should say now, And it'll be a guy like Otani.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it is Otani, but it'll be a
Speaker 2: guy like Otaniani.
Speaker 3: If the new babe Ruth, there's gonna be a new Jordan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Otani if he came out with his own
Speaker 5: line of cleats and batting gloves and all baseball gear,
Speaker 5: I don't think every little boy and girl will be like,
Speaker 5: I need my Otani's.
Speaker 2: They also have to be fired too. It's a perfect storm.
Speaker 2: The Jordan's for kids. I know the famous clip of
Speaker 2: David Letterman talking about how ugly they were, Are you
Speaker 2: serious about these things? Kids loved them. They were fire
Speaker 2: and they're legendary. Still we still wear the same ones
Speaker 2: from eighty four eighty five.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all lettermen in that generation we're used to were boring.
Speaker 7: Basic converse right.
Speaker 3: Your white tennis sneaker, right, your basic converse shoe.
Speaker 5: It's almost because Michael Jordan. And much like anything in
Speaker 5: all businesses, it's the person that takes the big chance
Speaker 5: that has the biggest payoff him going with Nike, which
Speaker 5: at the time was like a you know, like a
Speaker 5: not a failing but a pretty mid level running shoe company.
Speaker 5: By him doing that, maybe that's the perfect storm because
Speaker 5: on his sixty second birthday it is.
Speaker 2: And it also built to the allure and mystique and
Speaker 2: legend of Air Jordan.
Speaker 5: That there were other basketball players that endorse sneakers, converse
Speaker 5: or and stuff like that. But is it just simply
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan was the first guy to really brand his
Speaker 5: own shoe to that level and no one will ever compare,
Speaker 5: whether it's Steph or why Lebron's career could compare.
Speaker 3: People debate that till this day. Think about the sneaker.
Speaker 5: Think of all the sneakers that have debuted in the NBA,
Speaker 5: all the stars of the league. They have millions of
Speaker 5: kids buying their sneaker, but nothing compares to a Jordan.
Speaker 5: And like even in baseball, I've recently been buying a
Speaker 5: lot of equipment. My kids are getting more involved in
Speaker 5: their little league and stuff.
Speaker 2: Not to him Jordan's career, but the shoe was fire,
Speaker 2: so that helped, right, It definitely helped, and it changed
Speaker 2: the game, and he marketed the hell out of it.
Speaker 2: The dude had gatorade, jingles and everything else. So I
Speaker 2: mean Lebron's career rivals, Jordan's his sneaker doesn't.
Speaker 5: Was Was Michael Jordan just the perfect guy at the
Speaker 5: perfect time and everything lined up like the fact that
Speaker 5: he was the most talented winner while at the same
Speaker 5: time also happened to be alive at a time where
Speaker 5: they took a chance on. Hey, maybe a basketball play
Speaker 5: with his own sneaker is a good idea. Was it
Speaker 5: just the perfect storm that no one will ever compete? Yeah,
Speaker 5: he also delivered.
Speaker 3: He was slamming from the foul line with the sneaker on.
Speaker 3: You know, so that also helps. Like think about it.
Speaker 5: You think that Facebook and Instagram and TikTok, you think
Speaker 5: those are the only social media attempts. There's clearly other
Speaker 5: companies that were like, oh no, will be the next
Speaker 5: social media. Everything's got to line up perfectly, And I
Speaker 5: think Michael Jordan on his sixty second birthday, you could argue,
Speaker 5: in the last fifty years might be the most popular
Speaker 5: human on earth and no one will ever have a
Speaker 5: bigger sports brand. Think about it, Tennis, bowling, hockey, baseball, basketball,
Speaker 5: Is there ever gonna be a guy who sells billions
Speaker 5: of dollars of their logo.
Speaker 2: You know, it just sounds possible, right, We're a blip
Speaker 2: on the radar the timeline of life. You don't think
Speaker 2: there is going to be some guy in thirty twenty
Speaker 2: five where again he surpasses this. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe in our lifetime for sure. Ever, no, most popular
Speaker 2: in the last fifty years. Yeah, you know what, that's
Speaker 2: a great debate. I would say you're probably right because
Speaker 2: of the brand at this point. I mean, Tom Brady's
Speaker 2: a huge brand with TB twelve and everything he represents.
Speaker 2: Shack does a Shack does a million endorsements. Everybody knows
Speaker 2: the Jumpman logo, everybody knows the shoe internationally, you know,
Speaker 2: not everybody got to see him play, so the legacy
Speaker 2: still lives on.
Speaker 3: It's crazy perspective community. That would be like.
Speaker 5: Joe Montana, right, having a branded cleat or football equipment
Speaker 5: that till this day people are still talking like, oh,
Speaker 5: Mahomes is wearing the Montanas. Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It just seems ridiculous that these young stars, the Marinos,
Speaker 5: they their stars in their own regard, yet they're still
Speaker 5: wearing Jordan branded stuff.
Speaker 3: I just think he is. He's that one guy.
Speaker 5: And yeah, maybe our grandparents would say what Babe Ruth
Speaker 5: did for baseball and the fact that he was like
Speaker 5: a larger than life, almost cartoon character, the type of guy,
Speaker 5: the way they describe him, I think.
Speaker 3: Most popular in the past fifty years.
Speaker 2: I'll give you that one, right, I was just throwing
Speaker 2: out other names in the past fifty Years'll.
Speaker 3: Say one hundred.
Speaker 2: Maybe Muhammad Ali is the only one that rivals them. No,
Speaker 2: because again we're thinking America based. It eventually became international
Speaker 2: with the shoe brand NBA. No one cared about internationally
Speaker 2: at that time, right, can anyone compete?
Speaker 3: I'd have to say yeah, probably because.
Speaker 2: Of international celebrity now and superstars in the soccer game
Speaker 2: and and even baseball, So I will say yeah, And
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously NBA it's an international sport now, So
Speaker 2: the opportunity for this to happen is there on a
Speaker 2: much larger scale, I would say eventually. But again, it
Speaker 2: was a if you were trying to dissect, well, how
Speaker 2: did that happen? It was a perfect store of Austin.
Speaker 2: He delivered, he won, he was great, and no shoes were.
Speaker 3: Dope you needed, and they marketed it perfectly, like so everything.
Speaker 5: You could argue the same about a lot of things,
Speaker 5: like something as silly as Kelly Clarkson.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: I saw a meme that said, we got American Idol
Speaker 5: right the first time. We didn't need the twenty five
Speaker 5: more seasons. Like to think about how she was the
Speaker 5: first winner of a singing reality show and you know,
Speaker 5: she's as big a star now as ever before. Sometimes
Speaker 5: it's the perfect storm of talent and timing and everything
Speaker 5: that I think it's hard to argue that anyone.
Speaker 2: Can anyone compete if Ronaldo had some fire sneakers that
Speaker 2: translated internationally for everybody in casual use and where, but
Speaker 2: those guys all had their primary and it didn't happen.
Speaker 2: I meant that type of guy look at his social
Speaker 2: media following. You don't think someone with international fame like
Speaker 2: that could compete in the future. I do, But it would.
Speaker 2: They would be an Otani type and it would need
Speaker 2: he just needs a shoe.
Speaker 5: COVID would need to be a sport though that translates
Speaker 5: in the United States. Not that we dictate everything, but
Speaker 5: you can't call something the biggest in the world pop
Speaker 5: culture wise, if it's not popular in the US and
Speaker 5: soccer football just doesn't translate on that grand of scale
Speaker 5: where the NBA internationally is only getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 5: So I think if Jordan's not the answer, I would
Speaker 5: love to hear who you think it is? At eight seven, seven,
Speaker 5: nine to nine on Fox on his sixty second birthday?
Speaker 3: Is Michael Jordan one of one?
Speaker 4: Essentially?
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you have little kids in your life, they
Speaker 2: still want Jordan's, They still talk about I bought my
Speaker 2: nephew pair of Jordan's for Christmas that he wanted. I mean,
Speaker 2: you obviously know how popular the brand is.
Speaker 5: Cool Uncle Steve buying an eight year old Jordan's and
Speaker 5: he appreciates it.
Speaker 3: He's eight, right, They know that jump man logo.
Speaker 2: So the question is is he the most popular in
Speaker 2: the past fifty years? Because he's sixty two and we're
Speaker 2: still buying his shoes and talking about the guy. And
Speaker 2: can anyone ever compete with that sort of fame and fortune?
Speaker 5: What would it have to be like? Describe the scenario.
Speaker 5: Would it have to be like such an elite guy
Speaker 5: like Mahomes almost three repeated, You know was, you know,
Speaker 5: one bad game away from winning four of the last
Speaker 5: what five?
Speaker 3: And he doesn't have a fire shoe.
Speaker 5: He doesn't have a shoe or a brand of anything
Speaker 5: where you like kids like I need the mahomes.
Speaker 2: He's investing in ketchup, you know. And again it was
Speaker 2: it was not pushing the the mystique of this guy,
Speaker 2: you know, Air Jordan.
Speaker 3: I mean all these things added to it. Rich.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, who had that sort of mystique
Speaker 2: about them, Mike Tyson invincible. He was invincible at one point.
Speaker 2: If he had a fire shoe, we might be rocking it.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show week Day. I said nine am Eastern, six
Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wap Man.

Speaker 2: your car back to life with affordable paint jobs and
Speaker 2: light collision repairs.
Speaker 3: Get a free estimate today. Uh oh, better get Miko.
Speaker 5: Let's take a few more phone calls on this first pitch.
Speaker 5: Not necessarily about the first pitch. It is today's President's day.
Speaker 5: Taft first president to throw out a first pitch. And
Speaker 5: I said, it's very easy to assess another grown man,
Speaker 5: another grown man.
Speaker 3: Okay, how he throws a ball? How about this?
Speaker 2: It's not an accurate assessment because plenty of pro athletes
Speaker 2: get out there and he embarrassed themselves.
Speaker 3: Right, but you do make a judgment. I think that's
Speaker 3: safe to say.
Speaker 5: It might be the judgest I yet, right, right, It
Speaker 5: might not be accurate, but you're judging.
Speaker 3: For instance, for sure, Mike, who runs this place? What's up, Mike?
Speaker 6: Party people in the house.
Speaker 4: Mike.
Speaker 5: The first time you came in the studio, when we
Speaker 5: first met you a couple of years ago, and you
Speaker 5: threw me the football that was.
Speaker 3: Sitting in here.
Speaker 5: My instinct was, oh, Mike played sports as a kid, right,
Speaker 5: you could assess.
Speaker 3: Another grown man by how he throws the ball.
Speaker 6: I went to you guys one hundred percent. And in fact,
Speaker 6: you know, Steve likes to call himself the King Spiral
Speaker 6: over there.
Speaker 3: I mean, in all fairness, people call me that.
Speaker 6: So here's the deal. When when I first heard that,
Speaker 6: I'm like, you guys are ridiculous. There's no way. So
Speaker 6: we throw the football around a little bit, and you
Speaker 6: know what, King Spiral Brod Marino Spiral X me.
Speaker 2: Hey, I was a gym class hero. I could throw
Speaker 2: football for sure. I mean because I played in the
Speaker 2: streets as a kid growing up. Let's uh, let's go
Speaker 2: to Sean and York PA. What's up Sean Convi on
Speaker 2: ritching for DP.
Speaker 14: I'm good. I agree with that one hundred percent. Actually,
Speaker 14: I say it goes a lot sooner than that, because, like,
Speaker 14: I'm a coach for my kids, and that was my
Speaker 14: biggest thing was giving kids high five. You can walk
Speaker 14: up to a kid and you put your hand up
Speaker 14: giving high five, and you smack your hand like you
Speaker 14: know hard. You're like, oh, I want you on my
Speaker 14: baseball team.
Speaker 3: That's you. You are so right.
Speaker 5: There are times I'm starting to coach a little kids.
Speaker 5: Some buddy, some kids like what a lot be high five?
Speaker 1: Little guy?
Speaker 3: What is your dad not teach you at high five?
Speaker 5: Bringing in pal? Uh, let's say hi to Jerry and Tampa. Jerry,
Speaker 5: what's up, buddy?
Speaker 11: Hey, you guys know what it is.
Speaker 5: Jerry, do you agree that you can assess someone by
Speaker 5: how they throw a ball?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I believe so because I've had You know, I grew
Speaker 11: up playing baseball, and every when I was little, uh
Speaker 11: and uh, you could pretty much tell yeah, some of
Speaker 11: the guys that were hanging out playing music and the
Speaker 11: guys that were playing the ball. So yeah, I could
Speaker 11: tell you.
Speaker 3: Jerry, Jerry.
Speaker 5: It's the guy doesn't need to be piled on because
Speaker 5: he's had a rough enough month after the Super Bowl
Speaker 5: halftime show. But Drake, he was in that video where
Speaker 5: Drake's like I played ball as a kid, Yes, I have,
Speaker 5: and zen and then he like swings a bat and
Speaker 5: throws a ball and You're like, no, Drake, you did
Speaker 5: not play ball as a kid.
Speaker 4: Who did not? You did?
Speaker 5: Team Ketchri Go marn Now Uh, Jerome and South Carolina

Speaker 12: football anymore. He shock looked gumbin and a half too.

Speaker 12: and sound dump. He wanted to give this Carter one
Speaker 12: two hundred grandpa from him. Recreators. Dump. Come on, man,
Speaker 12: I don't want see anymore dunks. Learned how to play basketball,
Speaker 12: how to shoot a basketball?
Speaker 3: Thank you jove. Jim in La. What's up?
Speaker 11: Jim yo yo yo?
Speaker 13: You got to hear me? Okay, yeah, you're on.
Speaker 4: What's up? Man?
Speaker 11: Okay? I got it?
Speaker 13: You guys ready, yes, sir, this is out. I grew
Speaker 13: up South La Long Beach, Laquid Area, a little great town.
Speaker 13: They had a great parks and rec program. And when
Speaker 13: we played sports, guess what they did, fellas what's that?
Speaker 13: You got it?
Speaker 11: You're right on the topic.
Speaker 13: So that sports you would play, you would get on
Speaker 13: a team, and you would last all three sports through
Speaker 13: the year.
Speaker 11: So you can start with.
Speaker 13: Baseball, go to flag football, and go to basketball, all
Speaker 13: on the same team. And the one metric they used
Speaker 13: they gave you a baseball, you were at the white line,
Speaker 13: and you threw it for distance. The first Frank got
Speaker 13: through the farthest. The coaches gathered a week later and
Speaker 13: they drafted the kids based on how far they through
Speaker 13: the baseball.
Speaker 5: It's it's basic, and we will wrap it with Alex
Speaker 5: in North Dakota. Then we'll play a little shack diesel trivia,
Speaker 5: give you some prizes. Alex wrapped us up. Man.
Speaker 3: Oh there he is. Oh hey, what's up? Buddy's worried
Speaker 3: about him? What's up?
Speaker 4: Budd?
Speaker 16: I totally agree with the you know, judging a man
Speaker 16: by how you can throw it, but also if you
Speaker 16: go back to like little League when you're playing. He
Speaker 16: also judged the team by how they were warming up,
Speaker 16: how they were throwing. Were they throwing all over the place,
Speaker 16: and yeah, they're horrible.
Speaker 3: You know. It's so funny.
Speaker 5: And Covino and I didn't grow up together, Alex, but
Speaker 5: we have the same memory that I think every kid had,
Speaker 5: which was when you went to an opposing high school.
Speaker 3: The minute you got off the bus.
Speaker 5: When you watch the other team warm up, if their
Speaker 5: uniforms look cool, if their field is manicured picture, if
Speaker 5: the picture was popping the glove on the side, you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: no adation factor, Yeah doubt.
Speaker 2: When they would do their infield drill, you know, could
Speaker 2: the short stop play with sort of arms?
Speaker 3: Did they have?
Speaker 2: You make those assessments, You make those judgments. It's just
Speaker 2: how it is, whether it's right or wrong. Rich is right,
Speaker 2: all right, Well he.
Speaker 3: Props the taft he had he clocked in at ninety seven.

Speaker 5: kids sport for the for the spring, or starting up right.
Speaker 5: My daughter's got her softball, my son starts t ball,
Speaker 5: and I get wrangled to being a coach, and I
Speaker 5: can jokingly complain about it, but I'll be honest, I
Speaker 5: do love it. I do love teaching these little kids
Speaker 5: the sport of baseball and softball.
Speaker 3: It brings me joy.
Speaker 4: I know a lot of.
Speaker 5: Feel like a lot of people can feel that way
Speaker 5: about any whatever their sport is, soccer, basketball, flag football,
Speaker 5: tackle football. When you could pass your love of a
Speaker 5: sport onto the kids, it really is a good feeling.
Speaker 5: So while I jokingly complain about it, I love it,
Speaker 5: I don't love the fact that, you know, my new car,
Speaker 5: the car my wife and I got, has now become
Speaker 5: just storage for tees and catchers, equipment and bags.
Speaker 2: And you know, I mean, isn't that why you got
Speaker 2: that giant truck SUV whatever the hell and a big
Speaker 2: giant it's you know, we.
Speaker 5: Got that third row, Yeah, just so we could throw
Speaker 5: down the chairs and just have teas and a quick
Speaker 5: in bats and barrels and band it is what it is.
Speaker 5: You know what happens when you have two little nose pictures.
Speaker 5: You become sports parents. And I love it again, who
Speaker 5: doesn't love sports? We're here on Fox Sports Radio. I
Speaker 5: am the coach from my daughter's softball team and my
Speaker 5: son's t ball team so far, Like I said, I
Speaker 5: love the joy of passing down.
Speaker 3: Whatever little knowledge I have.
Speaker 5: I feel like I know baseball pretty well and I
Speaker 5: feel like I'm like fun time coach.
Speaker 3: I bring out the bluetooth speaker. I bring them a
Speaker 3: little treats.
Speaker 5: I try to be like until we get competitive, which
Speaker 5: my daughter is now becoming competitive against it's eight years.
Speaker 3: You want them to feel good about the sport, and
Speaker 3: you want them to have fun. You want to have
Speaker 3: them associate the sport with fun, now with negative few.
Speaker 5: I put the message out there of that listen first
Speaker 5: and first mostly listen parents, I want your kids to
Speaker 5: have fun. This is sports. Sports are fun. Some of
Speaker 5: my best memories playing sports as a kid fun even
Speaker 5: and four. So it's not like, yeah, you're that competitive,
Speaker 5: So I was like, and secondly, though, I do want
Speaker 5: to teach your kids some discipline, and I want.
Speaker 3: Them to put the fun and fundamentals, and I.
Speaker 5: Want them to learn the game but also learn how
Speaker 5: to win the right way and lose the right way,
Speaker 5: you know, trying to teach them all the right things.
Speaker 3: Here's my John Kones. What would you do? What do
Speaker 3: you do.
Speaker 5: When your kid is the pain in the ass on
Speaker 5: your team and you're the coach, Cause you know, when
Speaker 5: you want to like like you're inside, like good over here.
Speaker 2: You know what's embarrassing about that? The other kids will
Speaker 2: never forget that. Like I could still picture my coach's
Speaker 2: son crying because you know, he got hit by a
Speaker 2: pitch or he was the brat, Like I remember him saying,
Speaker 2: like you sual.
Speaker 17: You're gonna give me a Nintendo game for going out yet,
Speaker 17: you know, like crying and kicking his feet at home
Speaker 17: plate like in this is you know, years ago, and
Speaker 17: I still remember that.
Speaker 5: I remember the kids a crowd when they got hit
Speaker 5: hit by a pitch. I remember the kid that was
Speaker 5: a little beotch. I remember all this stuff. Listen, that's
Speaker 5: when you were a little older. My son, he turned
Speaker 5: five this past weekend. He's don't forget those He literally
Speaker 5: just turned five two days ago.
Speaker 3: That said. One of the first things I did at
Speaker 3: the first baseball practice.
Speaker 5: All right, kids, we got ten little boys here, we're
Speaker 5: gonna make two groups of five.
Speaker 3: We're gonna stretch out, and then we're gonna do a
Speaker 3: relay race.
Speaker 5: My son was the one kid that's like, I don't
Speaker 5: want to and I'm like, all right, kids, get over here.
Speaker 3: I don't want to. Hey Ben, listen. I'm not only
Speaker 3: your dad, but when we're here, I'm the coach, so
Speaker 3: you gotta listen. Nope.
Speaker 5: How do you react when your kid is the non
Speaker 5: listener and you're the coach? Is it because you're his
Speaker 5: I can't stop down the practice and be like so yeah,
Speaker 5: like when he do that for another coach, or it
Speaker 5: is just because you're his dad.
Speaker 3: Don't know? And I'm like, didn't being the coach?
Speaker 5: Am I distinct now that my kid's not going to
Speaker 5: get the discipline because he thinks he can get away
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, maybe your assistant coach is the guy that
Speaker 2: tells him, Hey Ben, you know, because he's not listening
Speaker 2: to you because you're his father and he doesn't listened to.
Speaker 3: You at home, so why would he listen now?
Speaker 5: And by the way, just just for the record, coaching
Speaker 5: the girls and boys wait to see wear.
Speaker 2: Pants to practice because every time I see Rich's son,
Speaker 2: kid's not wearing pants, I just his little under rus
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 5: I do want to point this out with the little boys.
Speaker 5: You know, we act like everyone's the same. Little boys
Speaker 5: and girls act different.
Speaker 3: I coach.
Speaker 5: You know, the girls are starting to become more competitive now,
Speaker 5: but these five year old little boys are maniacs. They
Speaker 5: are hard to wrangle. And all the parents gave me
Speaker 5: a me Every parent like pulled me aside, like, hey,
Speaker 5: it's okay if you yelled my kid and discipline him.
Speaker 5: He's a little maniac boy. So how do you discipline
Speaker 5: your own kid when you're coach. We don't need to
Speaker 5: harp on it. But if you want to hit me
Speaker 5: up at Rich Davis, I'm old ears because I wanted to.
Speaker 2: My suggestion is you have an assistant coach, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: he has the guy to enforce like, hey, cause I imagine
Speaker 2: has a level of respect for his teachers and other
Speaker 2: parents and adults that he doesn't for whatever reason for
Speaker 2: you and I get that that's just how kids are sometimes.
Speaker 2: So maybe it's the assistant shop to tell your kid. Hey, hey,
Speaker 2: Benny boy, do a lap or whatever. And obviously the
Speaker 2: other kids are giving that respect to you, so you're
Speaker 2: covered though what I wanted to do so badly, but
Speaker 2: I didn't give him a wedgie, Yeah, give him a
Speaker 2: little I did want to do that, yeah, but I didn't.
Speaker 4: I know you.
Speaker 3: I wanted to decide to give him a little slapping
Speaker 3: that and the helmet. Know what else I wanted to do.
Speaker 5: I went to Starbucks afterwards, and I want to be like, Ben,
Speaker 5: you want that cake popping?
Speaker 4: And I was.
Speaker 3: I wanted to buy one and eat it in front
Speaker 3: of him, but that I didn't.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think that's a great idea. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he doesn't get a gain raider or slopey on the
Speaker 2: way home.
Speaker 3: Whatever you're doing.
