Greg, I know you want to talk about Lionel Messi. I believe he has a new cologne out, I know you want to talk

about Lionel Messi. I believe he has a new cologne out and I do want to talk about that but I was wondering when Peter Rosenberg was on with us earlier uh cuz you're you you love the Red Sox, correct? Yeah. How do you feel about him being

a Boston guy saying that he roots for the New York teams when his team gets eliminated because you can't do that. Like that's ridiculous. That's absurd. No, you can't do that. Like like's ridiculous. That's absurd. No, you can't do that. Like, like as a Red Sox fan, I was raised to always hate the Yankees under any circumstance. Of course. You know, like just because they're both in the American League, right?

That doesn't even come close. Right. You actively root against the Yankees. What I got from that is this industry will suck the sports fandom out of you because what he's doing is rooting for his own success on the radio. Right. He wants the teams to be good. He wants the teams to be relevant. He will

throw away his Boston allegiances if it means it's going to be good for him and his show. Oh for sure. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised he even likes it out there that he's got that Boston background. Right. You know,

that's that's not good for him. No, it's not. Yeah. I actually growing up with my dad kind of considered the Red Sox my American League team. You know, he my dad, Red Sox fan, I was a Marlins fan. But I have to admit, cause you know dad, I don't wanna call you out, but I wouldn't say you're not a die hard Red Sox fan at this point.

We're not like following the Red Sox. No, but Chris, I was saying this industry will suck the fandom out of you. Your dad's been in it long enough. Right, so that's my point. So he's kind of, the Red Sox just has kind of faded away from me and I've married into a Yankee family. So I would almost say at this point

that I root for the Yankees more than the Red Sox. So you don't root against your significant others team so that you don't have to watch Yankees games? No, I root for them because I think my father-in-law, if they make the World Series, might take us all to the World Series. So I'm trying to get in that trip. Georgie Lennat maybe, switch allegiances to Yankees.

Maybe that's the hardest. Classic Lennat, yeah. Chris, I see what you're doing. I'm trying to get that trip to New York by my father-in-law. If I text him every once in a while like, oh, Garrett Cole, am I right? So you just want to go to the World Series

or you want to go to New York? No, I just want to go to a World Series game you want to go to New York? No, just like I want to go to a World Series game I just kind of want to get in on that world series game. I know but you have well Yeah, I've been to oh three and 97 Wow Right I was at the clinching game in 97 fortunate kid. I wonder who raised him Yeah, lucky little press box early. Yes. I was in the press box. Well. I mean maybe your dad brought you up there You eat any free food I still remember game seven. It's like it's one of my earliest vivid memories 97 game seven Hmm about oh three. Oh three was game seven, too, right? Yeah. No, that was game six in new york. Yeah in new york

Yeah, I was there. I've never heard Yankee Stadium quieter than when the Red Sox won They mean the Marlins. I mean the Marlins. Josh Beckett. You got anything in Red Sox now. You were happy though because you're a Red Sox fan, right? And the Marlins had won. I was happy because it was a good story to write. He's a homer. It was fun. Total homer. Yeah. Oh, yeah, no doubt. Why are you interested by Messi's cologne here? I'm interested in whatever Messi does. He's at that point late in his career where he's taking advantage of what's... and I'm not saying that when he retires as a player, he's going to fall off the face of the earth. He isn't.

He's eternal, his celebrity and his greatness. But he's taking advantage of it all. He started a new production company called 525 Rosario I think which is after his childhood address much like me in 1440 mm-hmm I get it and now he's got a cologne Yeah, you know he's got a cologne out parfum de parfum 73 bucks for for a small bottle of we've and we've reached the the full spectrum of for a small bottle of it. We've reached the full spectrum of athlete-based colognes.

I think we had Will Levis with a cologne a few weeks ago, and now we've got Messi. Oh my god. If those two spectrums can have a cologne, anyone can have a cologne. When did that start? Did it start with Jordan? The Jordan cologne?

I feel like celebrities have had perfumes in cologne for a long time. Just athletes, just athletes. I mean, Jordan should have a cologne. I mean, Messi's cologne will sell worldwide. Because he's Messi. Not for $73. That's not bad. You know, it's eau de parfum.
