We got the YouTube page, a Fox Sports Radio YouTube page, constantly posting videos here in the studio. You want to see my well-groomed Scruff? Getting ready for the Yankees season?

Oh, yeah. Spotty, Elijah, and the whole video team doing a great job there. Again, Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page at Covino and Rich on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, you name it. You can find this. And while it's on my mind, we have a bonus podcast, new episode this week. It's called Overpromised. And the past two episodes were interviews.

We interviewed Gary Vaynerchuk and we interviewed Joey Chestnut. It's very funny. One of the stars of the biggest major sporting event of the year. Stars. Hot doggating. But again, that's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page if you want to watch it. No, no. That's overpromised.

Last week, you guys put the NHL above competitive food eating. Just for a day. For a day. After that win from Canada on Thursday, A, that was great. They're still partying. So congrats to Canada on the tournament win over the USA. But lots to get to this hour. We're going to play last one standing giveaway prizes.

Danny G's getting ready for that. It's our favorite game. And Rich, want to talk about your boy, Juan Soto, now? Not my boy. Clearly, do you ignore me and you don't want to hear my story? What's the story? Of appetizers. Oh, I can't wait.

Tell me about it. I know the answer. This guy ignores everything I say. I'm just teasing. We got to talk about Wansoto. We don't have to talk about Wansoto. You should not want to talk about Wonsoto because he's going to hit 45 home runs,

bat 300, and you're going to be sad that you wouldn't let him grow a beard. Until now. Wow. I said before the break, today's a very special day. I think you're just mad because you realize that today's National Tortilla Chip Day, and for each four tortilla chips you eat, that's one tortilla. Ever since I heard that, it's bothered me. Those are tiny tortillas, though.

Yeah, I'm talking about burrito. Every four nacho chips. That's taco tortilla is one tortilla. That means you still eat like 35 tortillas. If I told you, Danny, eat these three tortillas, you'd be like, that's a lot. But have I told you, yeah, there's only 12 tortilla chips. There's small tortillas. Man, it's a little fried ones.

So I asked you guys if you were to go to the bar to watch a game, chill out with your buds, going a little date night. We went over all the appetizers. Buffalo wings, onion rings, cheese curds, spin-rolls. Spin-art. Spin-art dip. Oh, yeah. Nowadays, like, brusels sprouts, egg rolls.

And we were leaving off possibly the most popular. nachos. Nacho! Today's the day that you have to pay tribute to a man by the name of Ignacio Anaya. And I learned this

oddly enough, not that long ago, the nickname for Ignacio, nacho. If you never met in Ignacio in your life, the nickname for Ignacio is nacho. I remember working at ESPN and everyone called this dude Nacho. I'm like, why are they called him

Nacho. His name's Ignacio. Jeez, Luis. I didn't grow up living in a Mexican family like you. You don't have to grow up in a Mexican family to know that. I was saying, did you know the nickname for Ignacio was Nacho? Yes, because I believe we talked about this on the show maybe like three or four months ago. Rich loves this. It's a fun fact. He loves it. Yeah. Listen, it's a great story. It was a man by the name of Ignacio Anaya. He's a chef. Who, Omar Manaya?

No. Ignacio Anaya. the inventor of something very important. Now, the story goes like this. It's World War II. A bunch of military wives down in El Paso, Texas. Did you know translation for El Paso is the Paso? I do know this. I don't know if you knew that.

You didn't grow up in Mexico. I am El Nino. On an excursion. Which is Spanish for the Nino. Some of the military wives went to a restaurant to get a bite to eat. the main chef had dipped away, and Ignacio and Naya found himself in a dilemma. These ladies want to eat.

Chef's not here. What do I do? He goes, don't worry. I'll cook you up something. He couldn't locate the chefs. I'm not wanting to turn away these women. He put on his chef's hat, went in the kitchen, found the tortas, the big tortillas, broke them up,

sprinkled some cheese. He's like, oh, there's some jalapenos, put those on. A little tomato crushed it up. Put it in, melted the cheese, served it to these women. And it was called the nacho especiale, the nacho special. The women loved it. That was an old bedroom move of mine in the early 2000s. The nacho special.

Yeah. That makes no sense, but I love it. Gave her the old nacho special. What does that even mean? Nope. Yeah. So, turns out it was such a hit. Spice.

Word spread of the nacho especiales to the point where other people like, oh, we could do that. Break up the tortilla. Cheese, jalapinos, some dip-ins, some toppings. Some fix-ins. Hence, the creator of nachos on this day in 1943,

Ignacio Anaya. And if that blows your mind, let me blow Rich's mind. What do you think Nacho Libre? His real name was in the movie. His name is Ignacio Libre? Yes. His friends called him Nacho.

I'm sorry. I don't believe you. I'm sorry. I don't believe you. Yeah, remember he had the hots for Ancarnaisio. So there you go. A little fun fact on a random Monday. A guy in 1943 invented nachos.

His name was Nacho. Encarnasio. And it was on this day? I believe that that's why today. National Tortilla Chip Day. Well, now I got an excuse to eat some nacho. The invention of nachos. So when you go to a restaurant.

You told the same story on National Nachos Day. I will tell that story every time I want to bring up Ignacio Anaya. Merge Tortilla Chip Day and Nacho Day into one, save us a day. All I'm saying is that in food lore, this guy gets no props. How often some people call them like ghetto nachos? I call them what I have like once a week. You don't ever take nachos. chips. You never take like tostitos, put them on a paper plate, sprinkle some cheese on it with some

Mexican blend cheese. Dude, the Mexican blend cheese. I take some of the jalapinos in the jar, throw those on, and I get some Taco Bowl hot sauce, sprinkle that on and put in the microwave for one minute? That's like a late night snack after I had an edible. Maybe one day someone will tell the story of Rich Davis and how he invented this. Yeah, it's true. Someday. So, hey, I love you. Rest and peace long ago, Ignacio and Naya. If I'm the one guy that gives him props, I hope somewhere in nacho heaven he hears me thank you

maybe they'll make a movie about it like the flaming hot chito guy spot didn't believe that story that's a great story no because there's like public knowledge that he lied about that story yeah you poo poohed that no I didn't poopoo you know what Richard Montanayez is a legend all right

he invented the flaming hot chito actual facts of people who worked at my companies who said you didn't work at free to way he did so anyway so anyway Right. Great story, Rich. The same way I spot Poo-Pooed, like a lot of people did, the Hot Cheeto documentary way I watch, right? I thought it was great. Richard Montagnas.

Montaniers. Montaniers. There were people that are like, he wasn't really the guy. Just love the story. It's like when Joe Montana ruined Rudy and he's like, well, it was more of a joke like we didn't really love Rudy. Shut up, Joe Montana. I'll give you another one. Do you see who recently ruined some fun?

Screw you, John Olerud. John Olerud recently talked about how that Ricky Henderson story. wasn't true. Really? He made that up. The story where Ricky Henderson apparently was like, I used to play with a guy that wore a helmet tunis. Like, yeah, it was me. He said that never happened. He's like, yeah, it's fun to joke about, but that's not true. I know. I hate when people ruin legendary

myths, mythical stories. Yeah, we wanted to think that he didn't remember you, John. Yeah, you know, spot right now is probably feverishly doing research to try to, Oh, I don't have to take away. You're probably trying to take away credit from Ignacio and Naya. No, it's already, you know. Well, really, There's another guy that invented the nachos. You know what, though? This guy, first guy to think, oh, let me cut up tortilla chips. It is sports related.

I mean, how many great football games have you watched over a nice plate of nachos? Or as we call them, mega dope chos. We've been on a quest for years to find the most greatest chos of all time. Well, how do you, listen. What kind of meat you put on your shows? Thank you, Sam. So since we're talking about nachos and listen. Mega dope shows.

It's February. Does anyone, is there any sports right now that are tickling your butt? Not really. Oh. Let's talk about nachos a second. If I would say master craft the ultimate nachos at a sports bar right now, I'm pretty simplistic. I'm going cheese, jalapenos, a scoop of guac in the middle.

I'm going to leave the sour cream on the side. Oh. I don't need all. You've got to have sour cream. I don't mind if you do it. So I'll throw sour cream and guac. Cheese, nachos, jalapenos. I know Kavino and you are on tomato guys.

I like some black beans. See that to me, Mrs. Oh, no. It's got to have it all. When you start eating beans and meats and meats and things. stuff. Man, can we agree on anything, guys? You want to go vegetarian?

Jeez. Can we all just get along? Are you going heavy on the meats on your nachos or what? Hey, man, I'm not a plate. I'm having some chorizo. Like, if they're there, I'm eating them. I don't like, I don't like sharing nachos with people as an appetizer. Why?

Because people mess up. What you think you're better than us? No, I don't, I don't like, like somebody will take the chip that has all the sour cream on it. Oh, wait, there's a comedian that does a bit. Where's it a show where there's one, was it? Was it a TV show? It might have been... Well, last time we talked about Chef Anaya,

I played for you this small clip from a Saving Silverman, where it's Jack Black, Steve Zon, and they're arguing about nachos. And he's like, you took the one with all the... He's like, that's one nacho. That's the nucleus. Yes. What's up, Dan Byer?

Doug Heffernan called it the nucleus on King of Queens. Yes, King of Queens. The nucleus, Kevin James, because there's going to be one nacho chip in the middle that has the biggest glob of melted cheese, guac, and everything. That's just a solid move. If you get the nucleus, you're the man.

No, but I feel like everyone... That's like when you steal your kids' french fry, you've got to get the biggest waffle fry in there. But every group of friends, if you're respectable... It's just what men do. You sort of eat around the nucleus because you don't want to be the a-hole that takes the nucleus chip in the beginning. I go for it. You should break up that wealth with a fork. I go for it and I stare at everybody right in the eye.

And I wait for them to say something. No, I got the naked chip with nothing on it. Thanks a lot. Here's my move. I'll share it. And I don't normally share my tips. But if you grab the nucleus, like a man, and you get... You give eye contact to everybody.

No one's going to say anything. Are you setting the tone that like I'm the alpha male here? You're like, you're daring anyway to be like what? It's like how. What are you going to do about it? Yeah. It's like how Rich will pour half of the spinach artichoke dip onto his plate. And I respect it.

I'm like, man, he took half of it. There's also a lot of respect for the guy who'll just take the last one without offering it to anybody else. It's like, do you guys want it? He just grabs it and is like, done. You're decisive. There's a politeness that we all sort of have where if there is one buffalo wing left, if there's one big globby nacho left, you're like, I was a slob the whole time, but I'll, the last one's for you, Danny, and you're like, no, for you.

I think the minutes of it goes, no, you. It's like, okay. Covino would ask how many globs have you had? Yes, I do that in your head. You try to figure out, okay, he had three. He had three. I had two, so this is mine. Well, now we have a reason to slob out tonight, Roch.

By the way, for those that didn't get Sam's reference, Kavino will always ask everyone else, just to make sure he's not the biggest love. Like, how many wings you have? How many nachos you have? How many slices of pizza? Yeah. And we were at Kavino's parents when we did the show from the East Coast last week.

We ordered two pizzas, one big grandma pizza and one regular. No doubt. Kavino's like, bro, how many? We had about six, seven. I had like six. Yeah, we were uncontrollable. So anyway, celebrate and enjoy your nachos today. brought up your boy Juan Soto

and it looks like he had some nachos in the offseason but you know what? I think he had one too many. I think he pulled Juan Bloto. Juan Bloto. He pulled a solid move

but I actually think he was a little overly generous in my opinion. I mean, when you got that kind of flow, it's not that big of a deal. I get it. That's a, that's a small expense

for a Juan Soto who's getting paid. But Brett Beatty of the New York Mets had Bady had Juan sort of number. Young Buck. Young Buck. And he is. He started three years ago in 2022.

Last year he batted 229 and had four home runs. So he's not like a superstar by any means. He's a young third baseman. If you follow the National League, the Mets were sort of thinking, Beatty, Viantos, one of these guys would work out. Bady had a good start but then cooled down and just never got his rhythm. He has a baby face. If you follow baseball, you'd be like, Brett Beatty, he's the Mets that looks like he's 16 years old.

He's got a Beatty face. He's got a Bady face. Good one. Major, major. Play the rim shot on yourself. Bajie face. But guess what? Brett Bady, who hasn't been in the league for a long time at all, career, let's see, career average 215.

Whippity do! War number 22 for the New York Mets. But guess who else? Wanted number 22. Juan Soto. So you know the story happens all the time in sports. Juan Soto bought this dude a $92,000 Tahoe.

So he walks out. He's like, whoa, Juan Soto gifted him a car for giving over the jersey. Cool move, unnecessary, best gift ever. Either way, it was like his dream car. It was a car he always wanted. And I guess Soto did that investigation. And put it in his name, got it registered.

And to his surprise, he got his dream car. 92,000 gift from Wonsoto. Is it the story that Wonsotto asked him for his insurance or registration? The day before. The day before. He asked, or Edgar, I don't know who's Edgar on the Mets. Because Beatty references Edgar. Like, Edgar asked me the day before about my insurance and everything.

So that was a little fishy. But to his surprise, he still got the 22 jersey in exchange for a $92,000 car gifted to Beatty. And to put a perspective, maybe he's a young dude. He, you know, he had, he hasn't lived up to expectation yet. He was one of the Mets top prospects. He will be on the roster this year, likely. And he just agreed he did a pre-arbitration deal with the Mets. He's making $800,000.

I think it's cool that, A, he got that car. B, it's from Juan Soto. For a ball player, that's got to be like a bit of a feather in your cat. Like, Juan Soto gave me a $92,000 car. but again Wants Soto could have that number regardless. I don't think that guy earned any sort of debate whatsoever

to keep number 22 at that point. So I think it was overly generous even though it's pocket change for this guy. I mean, if you remember fan favorite of the Dodgers, Joe Kelly, war number 17, and if you remember correctly, him

and his wife, while the Dodgers still hadn't signed Otana yet, they joked about like, Hey, please take 17. Come to the Dodgers and remember when... That's right. They made a video. When Otani did sign and he officially gave him number 17, I believe Otani bought Joe Kelly's wife a sports car.

Yeah, a Porsche. Yeah, it's a solid move. Juan Soto did the right thing, obviously. But probably didn't have to if he didn't want to. It was Juan Soto. Yeah, but you know what? Juan Soto's thinking, and I wanted to think, Vic, If you're Juan Soto, aren't you thinking I'm number 22?

And at the end of this 15-year contract, long-ass contract with the Mets, he would hope that that number hangs in the rafters of City Field one day. If he gets the Mets all-world series, when the Mets have been Thurston, like Thurston Howell. Like the Mets have been thirsty for a World Series since Gary Carter's Perm and Keith Hernandez's mustache were the talk of the town. Who is Thurston-Howell Thurston for, Lovie? Oh, Lovry. He had to be Thurston for Judge. He was, yeah.

Marianne. Marianne, yeah. That's what I'd be thirsty for. But you know what, Cove? It's... You know what it does? It makes you think of this. I don't think Brett Beatty could deny that this is the greatest gift that he's ever been given.

A 92,000 dream car that he always wanted, right? It's almost lucky, right? Like, did simple fact. Can you put your finger on that, though? Like, the greatest gift you were ever given? Like, I don't know what it would be. Like, when you were little and you really wanted something and you were so surprised that Santa brought it. Like, because this is the answer right here for him.

It makes me think, well, what was my greatest gift? ever. I don't know. So I posed that question for you at home. Greatest gift, but also like a moment of just pure luck. I'm not saying the times you are. I hit the jackpot in Atlantic City. But the simple fact that Brett Beatty's like, I'll take number 22. And a year later, the $765 million man's like, oh, that's my number. Or unless he had the foresight to think, Juan Soto might want to play here. Someday, I'll take number 22.

It was almost like the early days of the internet, like buying a domain knowing that it'll be valuable. Like Juan Soto, number 22, you know. say. That's kind of interesting. That's an interesting way to think about it though, right? He lucked out. Someone else more popular might want that number one day. It's a great investment. So, you saw that Juan Soto, Derek Cheater

ended up with number two? I do. I think I know the story. Let me see if I'm right. Because think about it. Every other number, every other single digit number was retired. So number two is like a coveted number. Could I guess? I think I know the answer. And by the way, you saw Juan Soto hit a dinger, first at bat. And Bregman in his first game as a redsock also

had all run. So, so far the big free agents are looking pretty good. I think, from what I understand, it worked out five times World Series champion, Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. The hopes for his success were so high that I heard that they put aside that number for the guy, like almost like we were waiting for this.

Tony Fernandez wore it before Jeter, if I'm not mistaken. Double check that. I'm almost positive. Shortstop, Tony Fernandez. And then when Derek Jeter came around, the story, as I know, is that the clubhouse guy who washes all the uniforms, the uniform guy, what's it called? The guy in the clubhouse who does all the equipment manager or whatever. Yeah, equipment manager. Just gave it to him. And that was it. Langer guy.

Oh, to be out of the Yankees laundry dude. I thought it was more to it. I thought like the Yankees specifically were like. Well, they were high hopes for sure. But it was a matter of just the equipment manager being like, here's number two. But he was such a highly touted prospect for the Yankees back in the. mid-90s that I thought it was by design like I went to Syracuse for college. Number 44 is a tradition there.

Jim Brown, Derek Coleman. Like if you're given number 44, it's Syracuse's way of saying, we believe in basketball or football that you're the guy. And I thought that because there were no single digits left, I always thought the Yankees gave Jeter number two at the high hopes of like, you're it. Cove, it looks like Mike Gallego. Was it?

Lego, Mike Gai. Yeah, it was the last to wear number two before Jeter. Why am I thinking Fernandez? No, it's a great novelty. You wore six maybe? No, Steve Sacks wore number six. Tony Fernandez did wear number six. I know for a fact.

You know what's funny is that I know the Yankees don't have their names on their jersey, but how funny would it be to have a number two Gallego Yankee shirt? What a fun novelty item. It was Gallego, but yeah, it wasn't like he was the only guy to wear it. The equipment guy gave it to him, but my point in bringing that up was if you're able to pick that number, because a lot of players don't have the luxury of picking it. They're just sort of giving it. You pick the number that might be highly touted by a bigger star

when he comes along because you may reap the benefits la Brett Bady who got his 92,000 Chevy Tahoe gifted from Juan Soto. It says when Gallego was in Oakland A, he wore number nine. He, of course, couldn't wear Roger Maris's number in New York. So he got two and he wore it through 1994. Hey, Danny, did Luca have to pay some G-League guy for number 77? Who would wear a number 77? That's a number you always know is available.

So props to him. He did the right thing. But again, it does make you think the greatest gift you were ever given. That's true. It's a really nice coincidence for Brett Beatty. Now, here's what we got going on. By the way, you think you'll buy your kid a car one day? Like the whole bow, the whole deal.

Have you ever bought your wife a car with a bow on it, like a guy in a commercial? I can barely afford the boat. Yeah, I know. Because honestly, that's like the most generous gift you can gift somebody, right? As far as like as a gift that you could buy. I don't know. It depends on my contract here. You know what?

I always told my kids, I said, you know, dad and mom are putting away money for you for college and all those things. But if you get a full scholarship to college, that money, you could buy a car, down payment on an apartment or something. Like, I'm saving the money. if you want it, get a scholarship. All right. Well, we are going to talk about being starstruck. Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson, has a story about, let's say, a sports

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 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. 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. we 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.

I had a few Five years in a row I had a few in the bank Rich you have won your ninth That is your ninth win That is your ninth win overall All right All right

Great I don't think they should each get wins. I think that should just be a draw and you get zero. Oh, on that first category? Yeah. Oh, DB. Now you're only 20 ahead of me. What are you going to do?

I'm a little sour over this stuff. Yeah. I mean, if you guys are going to have rules, have rules. I don't think this is the first time we ever had a tie in a category. Jeez. What is this? It's anarchy in this place. Wow.

I love it. I love the competitive spirit of bad fire. He did it. I love it. It was a good one, Dan. By the way, Aaron in Goodyear, Arizona. Thank you for playing the game. Thank you.

I appreciate you guys. Hey, thank you, buddy. We appreciate you too, man. All right. Great job. Great win, Rich. So what do you guys say moving forward? Because that's the first time we've ever had a time.

I like giving both people the point. I really do because it's like no one lost. Yeah, that was good. And that was a great round, by the way. You know, if it's soccer. I can't believe we got them all. If it's soccer, you know, my favorite sport? Don't they get a point to each and a tie, right?

I think we need to do anything that doesn't make the game longer. It's fair. Yes. That's probably our number one. Rule. All right. Let's go to Dan Byer. It's time for the update.

An update. What's up, DB? Man, Colt Vino, so close on that one. Oh, geez. But I'm a Covino guy, so that's why. I wanted that one. The Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal to ban the tush push play. That's according to the athletic.

It will be reviewed by the competition committee and would need to be approved by the league's owners at their league meetings coming up at the end of March. The Eagles, by the way, do plan on visit. in the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. This refutes reports that they declined an invitation. The Eagles did not go when they won in Super Bowl 52 to the White House. Dan Byer, I took a look at the schedule. The Eagles play the Packers this year. So if the rule doesn't go through, do you think a couple extra tush pushes coming the Packers way?

I was surprised that it was Green Bay that did it because I think we all felt it was probably Washington because of what happened in that NFC championship game. But Boise State running back, Ashton Jenty won't work out at the combine. Neither will Penn State defensive and Abdul Carter. He's still rehabbing from his shoulder injury. Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson's going to be a free agent. He will not be back in Carolina. No Joelle Embed tonight for the Sixers against the Bulls.

Clippers without Kauai Leonard and Norman Powell. Thunder Center Chet Holmgren won't play against Minnesota. Auburn's the unanimous number one in the AP top 25 men's college hoops pole. Kansas dropped out. Texas tops in the women's poll. And some passings in the world of sports. Guardians owner Larry Dolan died at the age of 94, longtime sportscaster Al Troutwig of MSG, known from the Olympics as well.

He died at the age of 68. Guys, back to you. Thanks, D.B., you're the man. Appreciate you. Now, coming up, there's an update from a Yankee former player when it comes to the facial hair. I think it's worth trying to play this clip. I find it really interesting, to be honest. It will make you think twice about what's going on.

And we'll talk about O'Shea Jackson Jr. your Ice Cube son has a story about one of his heroes growing up and maybe the times you were starstruck in life. Again, we're Kavino and Rich Live from the tariff.com studio, and we got more next. Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new?

We're starting a trend. 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 was... 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.

O'Shea Jackson Jr. discussion for tomorrow. Meeting your heroes and being starstruck. But a happy birthday shout out to Ice Cube son, O'Shea Jackson. Earlier we were talking about the beard policy and how I thought it was fine that the Yankees were changing. It was about time that the Yankees were changing or

compromising the rule with well-groomed beards. But there is a recent update that will make you not rethink, well, not second-guess it, but rethink, well, was it really that great of a idea? First of all, it knows. It gets you thinking. It gets you thinking what

Yankees would have had facial hair. Right. Like with Derek Jeter and Posada and Paul O'Neill. Would these guys have looked different had there be no policy in place, right? How many Yankees, like Aaron Judge, we're going to see Aaron Judge with like a thin, chiseled beard. He already said he wouldn't do it, though. Really? Yeah.

He said he's not. John Carlo's going to have a beard. I would think so. Yeah. Some people, you know, people are speaking out. And one of those people, it's interesting is because they were synonymous with having a beard. Like the greatest caveman of all. Johnny Damon, who played for the Yankees.

And what he said about it was pretty interesting, I thought. What's interesting is, if you listen to him closely, I'm not accusing the great Johnny Damon of anything, but he's on a cruise ship. And it sounds like he's been sipping back on Grandpa's cough syrup a little bit. It's very possible, yeah. He looks like, hey, everyone, Johnny Damon here. I love Johnny Damon.

Take a listen to what he said about the facial hair policy. Johnny Damon here. I just heard that the Yankees are not. requiring people to cut their hair, trim their beards, and you can always have your mustache, but I cut these lovely locks off many years ago because George Steinbrenner is such a great human being, such a great boss that I wasn't even going to question it. Everyone, let's keep the policies the same, listen to your bosses, always. always bring your A game and let's go.

I love you, man. I totally love you guys. I totally change my stance. He was definitely drinking. I mean, come on. But if he was willing to shave and do it the Yankee way and he looked at it as a way to honor to honor the previous legends, it does make you think about it differently. And he's a guy who still has long hair and a beard till this day.

So, you know, he took a lot of pride. in doing that because it was the Yankees' way. Did he do karaoke right after that? No, I want to kiss. I don't care about the hair. I don't care about the facial hair policy. It does make you just see it from a different perspective from a guy that did it. You know, so.

Listen, I respect it, but you got to change. Leave it up to the players. I enjoyed Johnny Damon. Please just listen to the, when he introduces himself. Johnny Damon here. One more drink. and he would be unintelligible. He's drunk as a skunk.

Allegedly, according to me. But I listen, I'm a big fan of Johnny Damon. He's a great guy for the major league. Game of baseball. But Johnny Damon? Johnny Damon here. He's saying that. He's saying that out of respect for George Steinbrenner, he didn't think twice about it.

And respect for the previous legends and stars that also did. Struggling. But let me tell you. based on a guy that was a Yankee but never had a beard anyway, I'll bring him up in a related story to say farewell to you guys. Arod never and still to this date doesn't have facial hair. So Arod was fine with it. Did you see Arod hit a half court shot at a buckled.

Oh, to help a fan win. Yeah. At a Bucknell college basketball game. And because of him hitting the half court shot, some kid got a scholar, which is awesome. But why are we surprised? He's a great athlete. He's Alex Rodriguez, right? It's a surprise when the little chubby kid gets out on half court and nails one.

You know who my favorite bearded player of all time is? Johnny Damon here. And we'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, have a great Monday. Our Reba-Darchi, baby. We will see you in the Promise Land. Goodbye. Goodbye, guys.

Goodbye, guys. 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 out. We get to ask other 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.
