We'll be doing it next hour. Lowencrons hanging out. Spotty boy is here with the videos at Covino and Rich. Hold on.

Lowencrown must have a hot date tonight. He's wearing a collared shirt. Isaac Lowencrown. Look at this. A handsome devil. What's up, Isaac? How are you? And I think I smelled some jekar when he walked by.

It was actually a lot. You were smelling it from all the way down the hall. I've been calling, today I've been calling Isaac Lohencrown, Governor Isaac Newsom, because he looks like Gavin Newsom with the white shirt, unbuttoned a little bit, the hair slick back. Oh, he's a handsome guy. No one really likes? He's the gov.

Yeah, and he took away half of my rights. Yeah, but he smells like Johnny Depp. Is that salvage? No, it's sausage. Oh, you're wearing saucage. Nice. Nice. Well, hey, we're going to have a lot of fun today.

Kavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. It's a Friday where we have big news in the NFL. we're going to talk some baseball. Yeah, and weekend hobnobbing what you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment this weekend. Let's get it going, man. 87799 on Fox. So Friday mornings I love because it's the day where we only do Fox Sports Radio. Our other gigs, Fridays are our chill day.

Yeah, for the record, Monday through Thursday, we also do a Patreon show, our own C&R podcast, and then we do Fox Sports Radio live. Yeah. Fridays, just Fox Sports Radio. so well-rested. We had breakfast. We went to the gym. One of those type of days.

Glorious Fridays, man. So while I'm enjoying my glorious Friday, you know, run some errands. Tomorrow is my son's opening day baseball. Pony League, West Hills, baseball. It's that time.

I remember those thrills of opening day when you're a little boy. And since I'm Coach Rich, the most winning coach on Fox Sports Radio. You know, you keep saying that. You might get punched in the nose by a guy named Doug. Yeah, he won last night.

You know? Suck on that. Hip, hip, hooray. That's good to hear. Hey, you don't think I root for him? Of course I root for him. Why would I not root for Doug Gottlie? Eat that, coach.

So, you know, I coach girls, softball, and boys little league. Same level as college men's basketball. Come on. Exactly. So I'm like, let me be the cool coach. So as I'm running some errands this morning, guess what I peep? And what did I see at the corner of my eye? A big display.

of Big League Chew. Oh, I love it. And I said, wouldn't I be the coolest T-ball coach if I came with a pack of Big League Chew? I love it. Invented by former Yankee pitcher Jim Bouton. And I get in the car. I said we did the separate and, you know, run a couple errands like,

babe, you go get the coffee, I'll go to the Dollar Tree, you go here, I'll go to CVS, I'll meet you back in the car. My wife made it seem like I bought the kids, like weed gummies or something. Like fake candy cigarettes. Like I bought him candy cigarettes. Oh, because you're teaching them how to chew. No, she said...

Yeah. He's raising little dikesras over here. Pack a lip over here. Her angle was... Who do you think you're playing with? Bruce Bochy? She's your little six-year-olds. She said, you're coaching five and six-year-olds.

You think their parents all let them chew gum? I'm like... Oh, she's concerned about the fact that it's gum? Or like choking hazard? I thought she'd be concerned. with the fact that, yeah, it was chew and it's mimicking tobacco. No, she was

saying, little Brett Butler's. She was insinuating like, you think a bunch of five-year-old LA parents are going to be like Little Gregor's doesn't chew gum and I'm like, come on. Rich, do you give him a little spittoon? So funny. So, I mean,

I start today's ridiculous Friday, Kavino and Rich. Again, we're going to get to NFL and MLB and all that. But Is it crazy to give a bunch of team ball kids like, hey, Coach Rich is here. Here's some big league, too. I thought that was a cool coach move. I guess in L.A. rules are a little different. You have a lot of.

No, it's true because parents here are extra corny, to be honest. It's also way more competitive than anywhere we grew up. Anywhere we grew up is one third. Extra gum. They don't want your kids to have. You can't bring cupcakes to the school because, you know, they don't want the kids to have sugar without parents' permission. It's school of school. My school cupcakes are allowed.

Yeah, but it was an LAUSD rule for a long time. I know you don't play by rules. Yeah. So certain parents are concerned about the amount of sugar you give their kids. And I understand that. I think it's not a big deal. My son's birthday was last week. We brought in cupcakes.

I understand, Rich, but that was a rule. I don't know what to tell you. You know? They lifted it. Okay, great. It's a bit of a nanny state at times. If you think that parents don't care about that, you're the guy who's wrong. I'm sorry to tell you that.

Certain parents care of. about that. Do I think it's corny? Yeah, I do. Let the kid have an ice pop. Let him have some gum. He's a kid. But I'm telling you that it's just how it is out here. They're worried that Rich is turning their children into a bunch of violet boer guards, you know, would put chewing gum all the time. I would think more of the concern would be like, again, the theory of fake cigarettes because that would be like condoning or promoting smoking in a way. You're promoting or condoning a bad habit that causes cancer, which is chewing tobacco.

It's actually brightening their smiles, really is. I'm a big fan of Big League chew. What about Isaac Lowencrown, the voice of reason? He is the governor. Governor Lowencrown. Looking, Governor. Looking ready for a speak. Did you get your French laundry press today?

I think you did. I'm never going to live this one down, am I? You look handsome today. I forget what I was Sam says. Look at this guy. No, it's a compliment. It's a compliment in Newsome. Not me.

So he's got some hickies he's covering up with that collar. I don't know. He's had a sexy. He's going to hop on a motorcycle and ride across town. Isaac, you're a man of reason. Given a bunch of five and six-year-olds big league chew. I thought that was like, yeah, I'm a cool coach. My wife's like, do you think parents want their five-and-six-olds having gum?

I have absolutely no problem with that. Same. It was a big deal when I was a kid with a little cartoon. But I'm not surprised. Bro. You know, like I said before. Most popular coach on Fox Sports Radio. I go to the little league field.

I want to hand out Big League chew. I wonder, I will report back tomorrow if a parent has a problem with it. What's next? Capri's Sun, the War on Ocean Spray? Yeah, exactly. Otter pops? I don't know. Sunny D. Well, it's not like you're giving out little hugs anymore, right?

You're giving out orange slices. Hugs, the little barrel juice. Exactly. In quotation marks. It's water and Gatorade and orange slices. I'm glad you said that because that's where. they lean nowadays. And look, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but, you know, it's a little overboard sometimes. I ask you to wrap up this amazing, hard-hitting conversation here on Fox Sports

Radio. When I bring up Big League Chew, do you guys have your top-tier level little league, pop water football, P-A-L basketball snacks? Because you said the-Rino's Italian ice, bro. the hugs. I feel like Charleston Chews were like a Snack Shack food. Like a Snack Shandy. Charleston Chews, I felt like those little hug, sugar water bottles, hot dogs, obviously. You're not going to fill

the Italian ice with the crunchy bottom on there? Blue Jolati, of course. Yeah, you need some Italian ice. I was also going to throw in warheads. Remember those sour, the super sour warheads? It took forever to get through those too. You know what else you'd get? It was very good humorish. So it's not like

you would get a fat frog, but they always had like strawberry shortcake. Right? And you're talking about those dessert bars? Like the chocolate A. Claire, like the chocolate chief crunchies, we called them. Yeah. What's the other one? Like the almond one?

Yeah, there's the almond one. Right? Those are good. They always had those at the Little League field. There were three. It was the chocolate one with the chocolate inside, the strawberry shortcake. And you're right, the almond crunch or something. But as much as I love Big League Chew Rich,

my go-to at the Dick's Sporting's Good, Sporting Goods would be Gator gum or quench gum. If we're going, yeah, if we're going athletic gum, those are my choices, man. So what are your thoughts? 87799 on Fox at Covino and Rich? I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all. Am I surprised that people would be questioning it or show any concern about it? Not at all. Because I've been there.

And again, I have shown up with treats and cupcakes and things like that. And I've been shut down. And I've said, what? Really? Okay. I mean, my wife is cool that she just gave me the heads up. Like, don't be shocked. your big league chew idea doesn't go over well.

There might be parents like, yeah, can we not give, you know, little Jackson bubble gum, please? Ned Flanders did this to his children. When they finally got sugar, they were, like, coked out of their gourd. Simpson's reference. Listen to this. They have to be there at 8 a.m. I know this is information you don't need, but just to paint a picture. They got to be there at 8 a.m. for a 9 a.m.

parade. And then they have a game at 11. So we're talking about 5 and 6-year-olds that have to be at a baseball field for 4 hours. They need energy. You got to give them some go-go juice I feel like I should bring some pixie sticks and cake pops while I'm at it, right? So your thoughts, again, 877-99-0-0-co juice. Was that the, was that Mountain Dew?

Right? Go-go juice is what they gave that. Who's the little chubby dance girl? Yeah, yeah. Wasn't that actually, that was Mountain Dew, wasn't it? It was Mountain Dew? Yeah, mixed with sunny D or something. You know, Kavino's favorite mixed drinks from the 2000s,

Red Bull vodka, go-go juice, and Ron Ron Juice. Remember Ronnie from the journey? Is he sure? True story, true story. So there you go. That was my day today. And pallets of free code red at all of our radio stations. Let us know what you think.

Is Rich being too bold here? Or is this a normal? I think it's a normal thing. But I'm not surprised, like I said. Your thoughts at 87799 on Fox at Covino and Rich. Speaking of baseball, though, I want to get into this. There's a few stories today in the world of baseball before we talk football and quote me and everything else. Weekend hobnobbing.

I don't know if you saw this, but Rob Manfred, or as Ben Mallor calls him, Manford. Blonded by the life. Manfred and son. Didn't he say that? He announces, well, you know the deal with MLB and ESPN, right? ESPN, in our opinion, dropping the ball with their relationship with the MLB after this year. No more baseball tonight, no more baseball.

They're now in talks with Amazon, NBC Universal, and Netflix. So MLB is looking for a new broadcast partner after breaking ties with ESPN. And can I tell you, my instinct is that this is a huge win for the MLB and a huge loss for ESPN. ESPN's heads up their ass with this one. It's like baseball's on a hot streak. Baseball went from, you know, baseball's dying to a couple years of baseball growing. They have stars, they have big brands. That's like asking for a divorce when right after your wife,

you got those, you know, nice ones. Stars. It's like, it's like, you're right. It's like asking for a divorce when she's like, you know, I'm just during CrossFit. Yeah, it's like, you know, baseball just got hot again and now you're saying goodbye. I'm not following that. Baseball has been great. Like, I get it.

There were some years where baseball was a little dice. I was a little bored. I was like, what are we doing? The rules they made, worked, they got big cities. I heard Colin even pointing out how a lot of the... You said cities, right? Yeah, cities. Big cities.

Colin even pointed out that a lot of the big stars are on big teams now. Stars. So baseball's in a good moment right now. So for ESPN to step-boy now is foolish. You know what? You know who's when it is? It's Netflix. I was going to say, but maybe it's our win,

a result. Maybe we see a new life if Netflix gets the coverage, more exciting, more highlights. Maybe they do a better job of creating these stars along with the MLB, right? So that's part of the story. ESPN dropping the ball on every platform except my dude, Gary Streisky, who is doing SportsCenter now on Disney Plus? Well, we're friends with a lot of those dudes. Props to Gary Streiskey. He's the guy over there. Other than that. Sedano, Hercules. There's a lot of good dudes there that we used to work with for sure. I'm saying from a bigger picture. This is not good for yes.

Okay, but in the world of baseball, what's today, guys? It's the first of the month. So that means the madness begins and baseball right around the corner, dude. So I'm like salivating, rub my hands together like Miyagi, rub my hands together like a fly.

Like, yes, baseball time. And I haven't been this excited in a long-ass time this excited for baseball. So hopefully you get that excited. excitement from us. Danny G. Big Dodgers guy. I'm a big Yankees fan. Rich is a huge Mets fan. Did you see Juan Soto? He went yard. And before he went yard, he looked at the pitcher and gave one of those head nods like, all right, I got you. Goes oppo next pitch. So while MLBs and talks with Netflix and all these other streaming services, NBC Universal,

Amazon, it doesn't matter which one they sign with for me. Netflix sounds cool because I I got it. Let's go. But I start getting excited. I start thinking about, man, we're like 26 days away. Yankees, let's go. And the Dodgers even sooner because they play away, don't they, Danny G? Aren't they playing away in Japan or something? Yep, that is the first game for the.

So they start in like two and a half weeks or something. For the first time in forever, Rich. Thanks, Elsa. We often say here, baseball is the only sport where you can't watch other teams. You just watch your team. When it comes to the NBA or the NFL, you'll watch any good matchup. You'll watch any game.

Baseball, just your team. That's just how it is. And you see the highlights of the other games. I mean, I can't find myself on a Tuesday deciding to watch the Cubs diamondbacks. It's just not going to happen. Now, you might think this isn't a stretch, but it is for me, okay?

For the first time in my baseball watching career, and I've been watching since I was a little pump, pumpkin pie haircuted freak. There's a little kid picking my nose. You've been watching since it's blurry television. I've been watching since blurry television with my Willie Randolph T-shirt on. For the first time in my baseball watching history,

I think I'm tuning into more than one team. Oh. Meaning, I'm also going to be watching Rich's Mets closely. That's the difference. Closely. Because I'm genuinely excited and curious to see what they do. You know the cast of characters.

You know the expectations. You know the storyline. And my goodness, I'm out here in Los Angeles. You better believe I'm tuning in to see the team that embarrassed my Yankees last year. You're L.A. Dodgers. Does that mean you're going to wake up at three in the morning? Because you're right in Tokyo against the Cubs on March 18. You know, I just might.

But for the first time, Danny J, it's not just like a casual, hey, let me see what they're doing. I think, you know, if it doesn't conflict with the Yankees, schedule whenever it doesn't you know i'm watching your dodgers you know i'm watching your mets which is why you know regardless of what you're streaming on you got to you got to watch them on mlb yeah i said to kivino before the show i said you know last year in the last couple seasons i was the cheapskate where i bought the package that included it was on amazon where you could buy mlb on amazon where i got just the met's i was getting s n y i said this is the year it's funny you should say this because

i decided to say nah i think i want the whole ms i'm i think i want the whole MLB.TV package. Right. You would just pay for your Mets. So now you pay for the whole package, you get access to all the other games. Honestly, I'll want to check out a Phillies game here or there. I was going to say, is there a Padre's game work? I guess those would be the other two teams that would garner great interest aside from your local team wherever you're listening from.

If you told me Verlander or Scherzer or one of these veterans are starting on their new team, you're not going to watch the Blue Jail. or the Giants or something like that. Or Skeens is on the mound. Like there's some, some reasons that you might want to check out other games and other teams where that sort of interest level was just not there years prior. If you told me Skeens is pitching it Wrigley against the Cubs on a random afternoon? I will watch.

Or how about? I never thought I would. The Pirates versus the Phillies. You're not tuning in? The poop game? The poop game. Actually, they stay. They got rid of that.

They got rid of that graphic for the first time. But for the first time, I actually. care. Poop again. About other teams other than my New York Yankees and whoever they're playing. And I find that to be awesome. More reason why I think that ESPN totally

dropped the ball. And, pun intended, like Aaron Judge. And I want to know your thoughts on this. Trying to get you fired up for the Yankees. If you want to throw another team in there, like, yeah, I know they're not on the Mets and Dodgers level, but man, I really got my eyes on X, Y, and Z. Let us know.

Your division, if you're an A.L. East fan like Kavino. Yeah. Every team in that division has some intrigue to me. Are the Yankees going to, you know, continue to, you know, set the tone in that division. Red Sox tried in the offseason to put some big names on that roster. The Blue Jays, you know, they're trying to do some stuff. Orioles are good.

Rays somehow always find a way to hang around. And they usually clobber the Yankees. They have their number for the most part. There's a lot of good intrigue. So your thoughts is baseball back in a way? for you where you will watch random games. Are you more intrigued by baseball than in previous years?

And your thoughts about... Oh, let me make it clear. That doesn't mean I'm a fan of riches, Mets. Screw them. I can't stand them. But there's enough intrigue where I want to watch. Same with Danny G's daughters. I'm not rooting for the daughters. You only rule for one team. But I'm definitely tuning in for more than one team this year. And that's the first for me, dude.

Your thought is very... consistent with how I feel. Like in football, I'm a Niners fan, but I love watching Lamar Jackson. I love watching Josh Allen. Yeah. And now we got those vibes in baseball. That's cool. In baseball, it has always sort of been, I really only want to watch my team. But you're right. If I know it's like Padres Dodgers, how are you not pulled in a little bit to that? And by the way, the other thought, we got some people chiming in. Let's go the phones. Inappropriate or totally fine to give a bunch of T-ball kids big league chute. Does that make me the cool coach?

Or, as my wife said, there might be parents bitching and complaining. It's all baseball talk, man, and I love it. 87799 on Fox. Baseball. You know, David, Jack, everyone on the phone. Hold on. We're going to take your feedback when we get back. I don't want to run

Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own. podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy,

coming in the air tonight. What? I feel it in my fingers. I could feel it that baseball is in the middle of a hot streak. The last couple years, this year. Baseball got like a butt lift. They got a good BBL. They got some good Botox.

Baseball got a mommy makeover. Baseball. And I like it. Stars on big teams, big cities. Divisions are not obvious. You know, the NL East. Phillies, Brave. Mets.

Who knows? Dodgers, it's not automatic when you got the Padres and the Giants who try to revamp. Yeah. Let me preface by saying,

I know it's not a stretch. Oh, whoopiddy do. You guys are tuning in to arguably the three best teams in baseball. Look, for the most part, none of us really watched other teams that often. I'm telling you, I know I'm going to this year.

I will be watching Riches Mets. I will be watching Danny's Dodgers. I will be watching these other matchups because of the stars and the level of. stars on these other teams, these young players, Ellie de la Cruz, Paul Skeens, I will be keeping an eye on games that I

would have never watched before. And that says something to me as a guy who watches 162 games of my own team. Even young players, even if they're a little intro now, like the Gunner-Henderson's of the world. There's young players you're going to keep your eye on. So do you get the full MLB package this year? I think it's the year.

That's the question. And then part two, Rich is the Little League or Pony League coach for boys. And girls softball, and he bought Big League Chew. And he's wondering if that's a controversial move in today's world. But my wife was like, are you sure the parents are okay with that? I thought buying Big League Chew for the T-ball kids would go over as a hit.

Meanwhile, when we were kids, our coaches would blow cigarette smoking our face. My Little League coach. Straight up smoking cigars. No joke. Had a pipe. Yeah. At all times. Yeah.

How you doing, Stevie? Smoke right in my face. After your grandfather would drive you to Little League practice, smoking in the his car. All right. That's the truth. Let's go to Texas and David. What's up, man?

C.N.R. Hey, guys. How's it going? What's on the other show? Thank you. Hey, man. I'm 58 years old. Back then when I was in Little League, back in the late 70s, our coach used to give us

those bubble gum cigarettes. Yeah. And we were pretend to be smoking. And I have a picture somewhere that there's a five of us with cigarettes. We're pretending to be smoking. And, man, it's hilarious picture. Man, it's one of those things that you remember, like a memory type of You?

We all have pictures. If you grew up, I grew up in the 80s, right? I have pictures of me with a real cigarette in my mouth. Same. I have a picture of me in the washing machine. Like, you have a picture of your parents. I have a picture of me playing pool as a little boy, playing pool with a cigarette in my mouth.

Like I'm Lampwick from Pinocchio. Hey, how you doing there? Hey, yeah, eight ball side pocket. See? You know, because that's the time we grew up in. Now, yeah, can you bring Big League Chew again, which mimics tobacco? I don't know.

But also sugar, sugar, sugar treats. A bunch of five-year-olds having bubble gum? I don't know. Jack in Washington State. I thought it was totally innocent. What's up, brother? Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, man.

Yeah, I'm a long time youth sports coach. I highly approve of Big League chew. It does remind me, though, I bought a Gatorade, right? I thought the best post-game, like, celebration snack would be just like ice-cold Gatorade on ice and, like, a bit, right? And my wife was like, you can't. It's like with the red dyes and stuff, you know. And so I was just like, you know, a little red dye, I never heard anybody.

But we had the exact same conversation. We just kind of, you know, like kids opt in. But, you know, kids love it, right? Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to listen. I'm going to bring it. If someone wants to complain, I'll roll my eyes with them. John in Indiana, what's up, John?

You're on Kavino and Rich. Enjoy your show a whole lot way out here. Really appreciate it, man. I think I am excited about baseball because I'm a baseball guy, but the game that's, has become a little disappointing in the fact that it's, you know, it's not the baseball from back in the 80s and the 90s, but I am excited for baseball.

And as far as the big glues, I probably would have went with the old juicy fruit or something to give them something, but I don't like mimicking the tobacco products with me. But you know what, juicy fruit had the best theme song of all the gums. It's going to be honest. It's going to move you, man. The taste that's going to move you. Get your ski shined up, grab a stick of juicy fruit.

The taste is going to move. You'll move you. Take a sniff. What? Pull it out. What? The taste is going to move you when you pop it in your mouth. Yeah.

Juicy fruit is going to move you. The juice is soft. It's getting right to you. Isaac hit it. Juicy fruit. The taste of taste of taste is going to move you. Yeah. I mean, how do we all remember that 30 years later?

I'll never know. Josh in Pennsylvania wrap this up, buddy. You boys are the best. Oh, I'm rich. You're definitely the cool coach. All right, I hope so. Yeah, pinch those kids off, you know, a nice big piece of chew like Lenny Dykstra style. Tell the parents, you know, with their wine and we're raising athletes here. Yeah, who's going to complain, the mom who secretly has wine in her Stanley Cup, right?

I think, listen, you do one thing for these kids. You give them the Biggie Chew, but before that, you just show them that scene from the Sandlot where they all take Red Man and they get on the tilter whirl or whatever. And they all throw up because they're sick. And that'll teach the kids to not take the real stuff. It was a roundup. Wasn't it a roundup they were on? Yeah. Yeah, you could really throw the parents off, Rich.

Just feed the kids laughy-taffy and gobstoppers. Wait, hold on. Love laughy-taffy. I know it doesn't matter, but was it a tilt-a-war or a round-up? It was like, it wasn't a tilt-a-werell. It was it? The Gravitron, was it? It was like the round-up.

Okay, okay. Why not? I'm just asking for the sake of conversation, Rich. Why not the sunflower seats? because I feel like that's more of a high school. Okay. I feel like I got into Sunflower Seeds, which by the way, the Sunflower Seed game is back. David, aren't there?

Yeah, but there's a ton of different brands now and everything. Pocketful. No, you kept that in the back pocket of your baseball pants. Who didn't, right? It was a Gravitron, by the way. Yeah, the Gravitron. May you would climb up the wall? I always thought Gravitron was the inside one where the floor drops.

The roundup was like without the covering. No, you know where you stand up against the wall and they start spinning around? We call that a silly silo in Iowa. Ah, see? I didn't know that. And then you were actually suspended off the ground, yeah. So, yeah, show him that scene, Rich. Teach him a lesson.

Listen, I'm trying not to overdo with the kid coaching stuff. By the way, that is a good idea to have, like, a team movie night for something he'd never seen before. That's fun. I feel like. Those are bonding money. Yeah, this sounds corny as hell, but I feel like I was born to coach kids like this. I really do. Like, I'm getting so much joy out of it.

So I apologize if I talk about it too much. It's great. Coaching kid sports is so much fun. Like, I've already little things. Like, one of my buddies goes, no, you got to do it. You got to teach him to take a knee. I'm like, what do you mean? He goes, so I've been doing this?

I'm like, hey, boys, get over here. Take a knee. Because you've got to teach these kids the little things. Like, you know, you're getting a little circle. Take a knee. I like that. Also, when they spin around, you know how you get a little boy to stop spinning around when he swings a bat?

Smack him in the head? No, tell him. What are you, a ballerina? I'm sorry. I was thinking about how. Our 80s coaches would handle it. No, my 80s coach. What are you doing, kid?

Get over. But I think it's, is it still fair game to say, are you a ballerina? And he's like, no. I'm like, well, ballerina spin around. That's how you get a little boy and stop spinning around quick. Is that politically correct? If you want to talk about, if gum is okay. I'll stick with the baller or anything until someone stops.

So baseball is in the air. It's March. We're excited. Oh, it's much tomorrow. Look at it. I'm busted out. A new Yankee hat today. Don't.

February, it's still the last day. Oh, it's still the last day. Is it? You said it before. I wasn't going to correct. Tomorrow. Okay, tomorrow is the first of the month. But I'm excited about this weekend.

I'm excited about baseball. I'm already ready to wrap up February. I'm getting way ahead of myself. Let's kick it to Isaac. Loencrime. What's up, Isaac? The governor. Oh, wait, Isaac, do you also know the big red theme?

I don't have the strength. I'm ready. What's funny is, you start rich. What's insane, though, is that juicy fruit commercial had not crossed my conscience. for at least the last 30 years, yet we all knew it on command. Is that wild? Memory unlocked.

Yeah. Well, hold on. Iowa Sam, you're right? So kiss a little longer. Stay close a little longer. Wait, wait. Wait, right. A little longer.

Longer with Big red. All right. Right. Your fresh breath just right through you. Your fresh breath goes on and on. While you chew it, say goodbye a little longer. I forgot the next part. Oh, boy.

a little longer with Big Red. Very good. Look at the clock. We've got to get this update in. What's up, Isaac? Meanwhile, tragically, none of us can remember the words to the Pledge of Allegiance. Anyway. Name all 45 presidents.

Name all 50 states. I know. Fellas, the Philadelphia 76ers shutting down Joel Embed for the rest of the season due to ongoing issues with his left knee.

Hey, we've got more Kavino and Rich. We're going to talk some Stafford, some NFL, some more baseball. A lot of fun on a Friday. And Iowa Sam said he promises he'll sing the Doublement theme next hour. So hang tight. More C&R next. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news? huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

The group that Jesse Spano was in when she was like, I'm so excited. I'm so scared. I don't know. What is it? I know the Zach attack. I know that was your favorite band.

I had their album. Oh, I think I know is it hot something? Yes. Hot treat. Oh, Sam, you almost want a dollar. Hot Sunday. Hot Sunday. Hot Sunday.

Nice. I'm so excited. We're Kavino and Rich so excited for the weekend and baseball on the month of March, the madness.

Quote me, it's multiple choices easy. Can't wait. We'll tell you when to call and get ready. Danny and Sam and everyone, you're going to love this new strategy I have. Every time I now go to a kid's birthday party where I'm stuck.

Talking to other parents. Stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Guys, come back. I have a new strategy, which is, you know what? If I'm stuck talking to these people, I'm going to get something out of this. How do you feel?

How do you know they're not stuck talking to you? Of course they are. That's how I feel every day. But now I say, hey, take out your phone. And I tell them to download our podcast. Nice. I like it. If you're going to talk to me at a kid's birthday party,

at least download the hard work Danny G. I love it, man. One victim at a time. One victim at a time. By the way, we're big time. We have a QR code and everything. Oh, yeah. Thanks for, we're a Dylan's birthday party.

You could download our podcast and you could get a side of spinach artichoke dip. Oh, Dylan's birthday party. Oh, Chucky Cheese. What a place. Hey, take out your phone. Yeah, I do a party. Hey, Kavino and Rich. There you go.

Download, boom. Like it. You should do the same. One person at a time. You're telling me, I constantly promote it. I'm telling everyone. All our listeners now, if you're stuck out and about and you're struggling for small talk, you could say that we're your best friends.

I like it. All right. Tell everybody you're our associate producer. Yeah, it's all good. We'll back it up. Not our executive. That would be Danny G. Dating, back of the day when we worked from Maxim,

remember the men's magazine when magazines existed? Of course. We used to tell our listeners that we would vouch for them if they told women they were model scouts. How wrong is that? We used to sell talent scout T-shirt. We had a community-on-rich-tal. Yeah, we did.

Anyway, I'm having breakfast with the wife this morning, having a little bacon, egg and cheese, and I get the alert on my phone. More NFL insiders are fighting. No, I get the alert that Isaac was throwing hands with damn buyer. No, I get the alert that, as Kavino said yesterday, it makes no sense for Matthew Stafford to go anywhere but the Rams. I argued the Raiders was a decent number two because Vegas is so damn close to Southern California.

But you know what, Kavino? You were right. I was wrong. No, I mean, I liked your thought. I was just trying to speculate. Yeah, it was a great speculation. Plus, the rumor of him being buddy chummy paling around on a mountain skiing where Brady was in the air.

I heard they were snow tubing on a double tube. Yeah, so it's not like it came from nowhere, but I was like, it would make the most sense for him. Just stay where he is. And I did make the argument that he's got a beautiful home in Hidden Hills. He's won a Super Bowl for the Rams. McVeigh loves him at the helm. his kids are in a school district. This is where he wants to be.

It only makes sense. And you got the alert this morning that Matthew Stafford, restructuring the deal, will remain a Los Angeles ram moving forward. Which means, like Danny G said, one piece, one domino has fallen. Which means now teams like the Raiders, teams like the Vikings, teams like the Giants,

teams like the Steelers, your move now. Because, you know, as they said, Stafford was one of those pieces. Him and Aaron Rogers. There's a couple pieces that once they figure out where those dudes land, then other teams will pivot. Well, now that Matthew Stafford's returning to the Rams,

the report from Yahoo Sports or the speculation is Aaron Rogers to the Giants. Some sources are telling Adam Schaefter, Adam Schaefter, that it's a possibility. Giants are interested. Another thing that we speculated on, not trying to take credit. I told you something. I told you. It just made so much sense because they're looking for a veteran leader.

And he likes New York. He wouldn't have to move that far. Yeah, he kissed a lot of behind in New York the past couple years too. He did. It would be a waste. Never even going to like Broadway shows. He was at Nick's games on the big screen. Think he wants to do all that over again in a new city?

No, not at all. Just run it back across town. Same stadium? It just makes sense. It does. So I would say that's a strong possibility. even more now that Stafford's a ram. So congrats, Los Angeles.

You keep one of your stars. Matthew Stafford, you could argue that if you look at the Lakers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Rams, the Kings out here in L.A. Is Stafford a top five to 10 got top five face of the city sportswise? Yeah, definitely. He's got a Super Bowl. He stays put without a doubt. And he's got quarterback face.

He's a handsome guy. Congrats, too. He's got some big chompers, too. What a smile. You know, and I told you, his wife's got her podcast. They're happy here. Some big white chicklets. They're happy here, man.

And he's got puking the coo. He lost cup, but you know what? They'll be all right. They'll compete. So I want to bring us up real quick because we have other stuff to get to, but I got to call someone out in a fun way. Don't get all butt hurt. There's a dude that works here at Fox Sports Radio. Call some say he has like 20 nicknames.

Big vanilla poppy, big funny, big, big. Galute, big VJ. Husky, Sports Vernon. I don't know. He has a bunch of them. Big vanilla funny. Get that correct. Let me tell you. Rich. Always been really cool with us. Oh, yeah.

I just got to bust his chops because, first of all, the guy's got great social media because he has, like, photographer follow him now. So he's got all this cool video, like he's a celebrity. I see a video of him on his social media. And he's at crypto. And he's reporting. And he's doing this like, you're not really watching him, but you're watching him. Like, oh, there's a camera here.

Oh, shocking. He grabs a basketball, takes a three, nothing but net. And I'm wondering, he had to do that 20 times, right? Is that a one and done? Or is that a one and done and he got it. We got to get his videographer on the phone. That was take 10 at least. It had to be, right?

Or you think one time when people do stuff like that, we'll discuss next. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to.
