The way tire buying should be. We be rocking out.
It's what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Dude, to think life changes in three weeks. I know
a lot of kids are back to school. My kids
are back today. You're gonna see all those parents posting
on Facebook kids first day. But think about it, three
weeks from now, fall is going to be here. Whether
it's still technically summer, who cares. In three weeks we're

(01:25):
gonna be talking about Thursday night NFL kickoff? Can you
believe that? Three weeks away? And I'll be honest, no
one loves football more than me. But the preseason speculation,
I'm not saying I'm not down with it, but I
think Denzel Washington sort of sums it up best. And
we'll get to that in just a little bit on
the show. It still it's so hard for me to

(01:47):
really act as if we know anything just from watching
preseason reps. To me, it's hard for me to get
pumped about preseason as much as I love the NFL.
So we'll get some more football coming up right now.
Can you know there's a story that got us thinking
on a throwback Thursday. Yeah, Gary B, not Gary Vee,
not Gary Vayner Chunk, that's our boy, Gary B.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Boyadzian is driving.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
His neighbors in Van Nights, California crazy and he's mowing
his lawn at two am.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
He's working on his car.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
He's banging, he's ringing alarms and blowing horns the wee
hours of the morning. And it's been such a problem
that it made the local news and now it's become
a national story, so much so that even Iowa Sam
is saying, dude, I'm so tuned into this now because
now the cops are involved, right, the news is involved.
They finally caught up with Gary, you know, like, what's

(02:41):
going on?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Why are you being a jerk?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Essentially right, And he's saying that the reason for the
horn and all the loud noise is because he's being
harassed by his ex girlfriend's father. He's saying, his ex
girlfriend's father. I know it's confusing, but this is his story.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
He shows up.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Later on the night and he speaks to Fox or whatever.
He's like, my ex girlfriend's father has been terrorizing and
torturing me for the past twenty years. So he says,
he blasts the horn and he makes all this noise
to bring awareness to law enforcement that he needs help
and he wants them to do their job. So he
wants justice served against the guy that's harassing him. Therefore

(03:21):
he's harassing everybody else. The whole thing doesn't make sense,
and Iowa Sam is saying from following this, he believes
that the dude is just sort of not right in
the head.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I'm not even more confused. It's my unoficial opinion. I
don't think he's mentally there.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
For a little more details, because I unfortunately watched the
whole clip. He says that thirteen different occasions, this girl's
dad has sent guys to beat him up, and the
police have taken him into custody, arrested him, and nothing
happened to the guys who beat him up. This is
why you need so he smacked the girl by the way,
when they broke up, he slapped her, and that's why

(03:56):
he thinks the dad has it out for.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Her, so he wants just because the police did nothing
and he's in danger, so therefore he's terrorizing the whole neighborhood,
making all this noise every night, and they're like, we
can't take it anymore. It's a weird and developing story.
But what's relatable about it is that I think everybody
has some sort of horrible neighbors story and or roommate story.

(04:19):
Because they're calling this the neighbor from hell.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's how bad? Can you beat?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
The neighbor from Hell? I you know, I could think
of all the people in this room. I don't even
know if you could think of half your stories. I've
thought of a few stories that I know over the
last ten twenty years of knowing you about neighbors from Hell. Well, unfortunately,
I moved a lot, and it seemed to be a pattern.
You would think I was the common denominator, but I
really wasn't. There was one particular story that I remember.

(04:48):
I moved into this neighborhood, and I swear to God,
we used to call him the Devil's rejects. That's the
one probably that comes to mind to you first. And
there was a bunch like sketchy looking hillbilly folks, let's
just say that. And they did everything in the front
of their house, like the front of the house looked
like Sanford and Son.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
It was one of those things, right, it's a nice neighborhood.
And they were doing like a bench press on the
front lawn, right, they're working out.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
They have a whole like gym in their front driveway,
and it's like, what is going on here. Everything they
did was sketchy and weird, and they were really weird guys.
But the worst story that I remember from living next
door to the Devil's Rejects was, I swear to God
is the true story. There was a car that came
by and they were beeping in front of the house.

(05:32):
This is just one of many stories, but the one
that stands out the most, beeping in front the house.
And I hear all these obscenities and all the shouting,
all this back and forth, and I did bout to
see what's going on. I'm the concerned neighbor, like, what's
going on? What's all this racket? The Devil's Rejects. My
neighbors come out with their tank tops and their boxer
briefs and their beer, and they come out and they

(05:56):
start shooting at the people in the car. So I'm
not even make shooting guns true story. Yeah, they had
their pitt no no, no, like they were shooting mcgevin.
I was saying, I don't know what they're shoot us.
They were shooting dirty looks at them.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, yeah, they were playing laser tags here. I'm firing arms.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'm not even joking you. And again this is a
nice neighborhood in Los Angeles. This isn't the barrio, This
isn't some hillbilly town. This is like the suburbs of
LA Like, are you kidding me? I couldn't believe that
these people like existed in this neighborhood. And everything they
did was just the worst. They would take their garbage,
you know, if their garbage was full, because they were
always like working on stuff, So they would take their

(06:38):
trash and fill my garbage cans all the time. And
it became a problem, like you know, like what if
I need room. I needed room for my own garbage,
and I had no room in my garbage cans because
they were filling up my garbage.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Cans all the time.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Everything they did was a hassle and a hoff and
I called them the Devil's rejects.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
That's just that's just one neighbor. You had another neighbor
that would steal your water. Can you know what?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Find the grab ring a drought during a drought, would
go there and fill up buckets water from Covino's host.
We had him on camera. We had to confront them.
Swear to God, while you're stealing my water. Yeah, he
would come there with buckets, thinking nobody was home, and
he was stealing water from our.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Faucets for what for what to bathe? I don't, dude,
have no idea.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
My ex confronted him, She's like, what are you doing
and he explained that his wife was putting him up
to it, like you're a pathetic guy. Oh boy, yeah,
so that's another story. I always had all these crazy
neighbor stories.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Man.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
You know our video guys Spot might have the worst
neighbor story.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Oh you mean the guy that was upstairs on my balcony.
So I would be sitting in my living room and
we live in southern California, so most of the year
you like to leave the door open, let some air
come in, enjoy the beautiful weather. Several times a day
from the upstairs balcony, the guy would come out. I
assumed he was a smoker, and all all I would

(07:58):
hear is and then he would howk it over his balcony.
And sometimes there was one time or no joke, I
was standing on the edge of the balcony enjoying the weather.
He comes out, does that it like lands near my hand,
like right near, like spitting directly down on me, and
I like yelled up at him and he didn't achnologies

(08:20):
went back inside.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
We actually had We actually called him Spot. We call
him Luky Guy.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Luki Guy lived right above Spot and I remember I
remember a Spot Spot telling the final straw, Luki Houser,
the final straw.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Please play?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Am I am?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I correct in saying even during like COVID, when people
when people are like real cautious because they didn't know
what was going on. You're sitting on your balcony and he,
you know, he's spitting his dirty ass spit. And we
were home a lot.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
So I would hear this all the time.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
And I'm not really a Karen or a Darren or
whatever you say, but yeah, and Aaron. Uh, it was
the height of COVID. I actually did report it to
the building because it was disgusting. Not that I was
worried about the use. I was just more I wanted
to get him.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yet we established yesterday in for Dan Patrick that the
male equivalent of a Karen is now an Aaron after
Aaron Rodgers complaining about the new helmets he has to weary.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, he's an Aaron.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
So yes, imagine Spot watering his plants. Or even having
a glass of wine with his wife on his own patio,
having to deal with that sound and the visual of
the lugie's dripping down in the middle of his of
his toast to his beautiful wife. Like, the whole thing
was horrible. We witnessed it.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
It was gross.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
So based on all these stories, and based on Gary,
Who's making now national news the Neighbor from Hell, what
are your worst neighbor and roommate stories? Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. I'll leave you with one more
story I could make real quick.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh what about what about? What about cigarette buck guy?
Which one when you lived in Jersey?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
The person that would put all their dirty cigarette butts
and make a collection by your doorstep.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh dude, in my bushes? Yeah, hundreds of them.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, there would be a guy who would who would
use my bushes as his ash tray and I had
to approach him. Yeah, I'm like enough of this, dude, Yeah,
I have so many of these stories. But in college, dude, again,
if we're going to incorporate roommates to this story, I
had a roommate that would get so drunk so twisted

(10:33):
that one time I was in bed with my college
girlfriend and I had one of those this this just
adds to the story because it was aggravating for me.
I would use one of those you know, those big
giant wooly Mexican blankets. Yeah, I brought that with me
to college. I know, chicks love it. I know what

(10:53):
you're thinking to yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah with me.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
This is a wool blanket from the sixteen hundreds. So
I have this blanket on me. We're cuddled underneath, we're
sleeping in the middle of the night. My worst roommate
was so twisted in the moment. He makes a wrong
turn and thinks my bedroom is the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
And let's just say.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
He uses my bed as his urinal. It, yeah, as
the urinal in the middle of the night, not only
on my girlfriend, but on my precious passed down wooly
blanket from the seventeen hundreds. I get it, but I
remember it. I remember it hitting my back thinking what
and I turned around seeing this dude swear to God,

(11:40):
true star. Yep, it did not end well. I got
two quickies and we'll go to your feedback. I had
When I was on the East Coast, I owned a
house and I rented out a one bedroom apartment that
was connected to my house like a separate unit. So okay,
i'll help this person, could help me pay my mortgage.
I'll rent out this side apartment. That's when you think

(12:03):
everyone's normal and then you realize everyone you rent to
is a lunatic. I had a girl fake cancer to
get out of her lease. How disgusting, and I remember
being like, oh my god, that's the worst thing you
could do. And then I had some really quiet girl.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
She was like.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
She was a lesbian, and that's part of the story
because she's like I remember her selling yourself like, I'm
just a quiet girl that keeps to herself, you know.
Me and my girlfriend like just just a simple lesbian.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
That was like her chill, I'm just a chill lesbian.
I was like, chill lesbian. Okay, cool, stop it.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And when I tell you, I come home one day
and there is a lesbian royal rumble on my front lawn.
There's like seven lesbians fighting over who's hooking up with who.
I had to call the police and be like, yo,
there was a It was like, honestly, it was like
a w NBA brawl.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It was wild. Yeah, people are tough, man. So think
about that though.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
If everybody has terrible stories and we all do eight
seven seven ninety nine, m Fox to share yours, imagine
how bad this guy Gary must be to.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Be deemed now the neighbor from hell. He must be
pretty bad man. Yeah, so let's let's take a couple
of quickie.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I will get into some NFL, but like I said,
Denzel Washington will explain why it's hard to really talk
about preseason football. Coming up, we'll explain John and Montana.
You're all a covin on Rich. What's up, Bud, guys?

Speaker 7 (13:30):
Love the show? Thank you min Yeah. So years ago,
I was living with my now ex wife and at Fourplex,
and you know, nobody loves loves or anything like having
to deal with like domestic violence, like neighbors and everything.
So at one point there was just enough was enough,
and I went down to like check on them see
if everything was okay. The woman who actually was the victim,

(13:54):
she ended up getting mad at me because I was
like trying to help. So I'm like, all right, it's
true that I'm just trying to call it. And then
the police got in there, and like two weeks later,
they were all evicted and like we never heard from him.
I'm was like, why why not accept any sort of films?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
You know?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, no, dude, it's it's amazing. You wonder like how
did these people pass the process? But I guess people
got to live somewhere. There's trash bags everywhere, bed neighbors, bedroommates.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
It happens.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Spot in college, didn't he have a roommate that always
kicked you out because he was like a sex fiend.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I mean that's just college.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Like Spot would always come home and the guy it
was a big dude. It wasn't like a big guy
in the basketball team. And he like puts a note
on the door, like not allowing you back in or something.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I mean everyone's been there, right, sock.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
On the door, but like to not have access to
your own place.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
But I had sleep. Spot had to sleep in the
freshman lounge three days a week. What was the name Spot?
I remember that you gonna? And I remember, yeah, we
joked sleepide you gonna. That's so funny, dude, Oh man.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
What else is really unfortunate too, is a lot of
these neighbor stories. Like if you're a home owner and
you have one of these neighbors. They're just bringing down
the value, bringing down the vibe. It's like if you
take a lot of pride in your home and you
have that one a hole who's not keeping things up
to par, and he's the guy letting the house go
in the neighborhood go, It's like, what an eyesore that

(15:15):
you have to deal with because you have to he's
looking at your house. Your house is beautiful. You got
to look at his.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
His trash all the time.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
And I think it's different if you rent or own
your place, because if you rent leases up, if you're
that unhappy, you could be like, you know what, this
person's so bad they're driving me out of here.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I'm getting a new place. It's the worst.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
If you own your home and it's like your home
where you're raising your kids, school district, a bad neighbor,
you're sort of stuck with them. Yep, it's unfortun So
anytime one of your neighbors moves, I know we all
have that same feeling where it's like, please have the
new person be normal, Please have the new person be normal, please?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Like that's yeah, a real rich When you're renting in
an apartment complex, you're almost guaranteed to have a couple
of crazy neighbors.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
That's true, it really has that. That's a fact I
would rather have though a neighbor. If they maybe they
have a blighted property, as long as they're not bothering me.
If they're not doing the noise thing after dark. Yes,
maybe it's dilapidated at home. I understand it brings down
property values. But like if they're blank blasting music, if
they're doing weird stuff like this, Gary dude, that's where

(16:17):
I have a real problem. You're infiltrating my life now, Sam,
I feel like you'd be a great neighbor. I am,
and I'm very aware of Like how a lot am
I playing music? Like I if someone if I see
a package left by our mailboxes, like I'll take it
to their doorstep. Like I try to be a good neighbor,
and I expect other people like a neighbor. The guy

(16:39):
John in Montana, he's a good neighbor. He went over
because he cared and he knocked on the door. And
for that woman to get mad at him, she's just
stuck in some terrible situation.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
And you think that my luck would change, right, I
own a condo, now it's like my post divorce, proud
condo that I had and I have, And the day
I moved in, the day I moved in, the movers
ran late. So I'll say I take accountability that the
move ran late and you're not supposed to move into
like a condo complex, like after ten pm. It was

(17:08):
like midnight at this point, and they were still moving
some stuff in, but that was on the movers, not
necessarily on me, and there was nothing I could do.
I wasn't gonna leave my stuff with the movers. Long
story short, I'm moving in. It's my first day there
in this new building. Some maniac woman that lives there
came barging into my front door in her nightgown to

(17:29):
yell at me like I was a schoolboy and reprimand me,
and I was like, get out of my house, crazy lady,
and great first impression my first night.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
There, she called the police on me. Dude, Swear to
god that great got off to a great start there. Yeah,
these are the people that I got to deal with,
never mind the.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Crazy neighborhood exactly. So it's a very relatable story, and
I think that's why Iowa Sam's been following it, why
Danny g brought it up, and why we're bringing it
to you here on Fox Sports Radio, Gary the Neighbor
from Hell and and I's California. You'll be seeing it
on your social media feed. I'm sure with it no time.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Darryl. You're on in Washington State. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 8 (18:07):
Hey, can you guys hear me?

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Okay, yeah, you're on, man, what's up?

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (18:11):
So I had a roommate man and basically my one
of my pet peece, is drinking juice out of the
cart and and like he was notorious for drinking my stuff.
And I come home and the juice would be drinking
you can see, like a piece of meat. And then
we also had a rule. He smoked, So the deal

(18:31):
was no smoking in the place. You take it out
to the balcony. But I come home and I smell smoke,
and it was like I wasn't a smoke and it's like,
come on, man. So yeah, when you talk about no, that's.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Funny, Darryl. It's so funny.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
And again, we all have friends or family that smoke
cigarettes or weed or whatever. Through the years, I always
found it funny when when smokers would try to pull
fast one on. You like, I don't smoke in my car,
and I'm like, dude, we have a friend Barry, Remember
everybuddy Barry Cavina.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Of course Barry like weed all the time. He was convinced.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
I go, dude, you just got to bring a new
car and you're smoking cigarettes and weed in your car.
And he's like, Yo, it doesn't smell bro. I'm like,
you don't think.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
He smells like an ash trink.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Come on, it's because he's been in the he's been
in it.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
He doesn't understand. Rocky in Stockton, California. What's up?

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Rock Hey man? Can you hear me?

Speaker 8 (19:19):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah? You're run hey man.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (19:22):
I just wanted to say, get it out of the
way before I end thing, Like you guys, I'm not
gonna be kissing ass or anything, but you guys are great.
You guys are doing the best the best show on
the on the radio.

Speaker 9 (19:30):
Swop with that out there.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Thank you means a lot, man.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
Yeah, so hey, so yeah. This was like back in
back in the early nineties when I was a kid man,
when we are very first night we moved into this
new house and our neighbors came to our house a
couple trying to sell us a Thanksgiving turkey. I mean,
we're not even done and loading anything yet, and they're
trying to sell us a turkey. My dad turned him down.

(19:53):
They turned around and asked to borrow money. They didn't
even know us.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Uh what you want a turkey?

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah? I mean they should have known.

Speaker 8 (20:02):
We should have known what was to come, because the
whole time there they lived next to us, they would
just constantly come over, ringing the doorbell, asking to borrow this,
that and the other, even money. It's like, man, come on,
we don't even know you people.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Guys, I need you to tell me now. You know,
perspective changes as you get older. Can we play a
quick round to wrap this? Can we play around? I?
Was I the bad neighbor? Or were they the bad neighbor?
I love this topic.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
By the way, I'm getting all riled up over here,
saying all hot and please let's let's let's be real here.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
When I was a kid, in my mind, Vinnie was
a bad neighbor, this old Italian guy. You know why
because anytime the kids in the neighborhood would play tackle football,
he would put his sprinklers on so that no one
would go on his lawn. But now as an adult,
I'm like, were we the bad neighbors for going on
his lawn?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Or was he the kids? Or is he the bad neighbor?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Like if we were playing with football anything there, way,
we'd go nearest property. He would just crank on the
sprinklersly to disrupt the game. Or if we were playing
street football, you know where the curbs or the sidelines,
essentially he would park there so we would play. Rich
As an adult, you totally understand. Now, come on, dude,

(21:13):
we saw a bunch of kids from a neighborhood playing
on your lawn, bro, you would have a flipout.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
My childhood was spent playing team hide and seek. We
called it Manhunt, which sounds weird as an adult now.
Manhunt a game some may still play. But we played
Manhunt team hide and seek. Do you know any neighbors
I probably stepped in their flower beds and stuff. If
a kid stepped on my roses right now, I would

(21:38):
punch a kid if I mean, I mean the flowers.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I get.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
But when we were just throwing a football around on
somebody's green grass, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
I wouldn't care.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Honestly, if they were neighborhood kids and they went on
my long as they were playing football and the ball
would go on my lawn. I wouldn't care, But there
were neighbors. Do you know everyone had that neighbor where
if it went in their backyard, it's mine.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, everybody had that name.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
We had.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
We had a neighbor in Rialto, California. If one of
our balls went in his backyard, he took a buck
knife out and popped the ball. Yeah, while we were watching,
like he he made sure to have eye contacted them.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Sounds had a TV chill Danny, you look at.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Me a kid pop Like I get that.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Like you're ruining someone's grass, You're messing up their side, Like,
make listen. They put a lot of time in their grass.
Like if you're the kids, maybe you ask permission if
you can play in the yard or like you should
clear that.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
I understand where he's coming from.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, I I one funny story my one of the
moms at the school that my wife and I are
friendly with. They they caught someone on the ring doorbell
constantly letting the dog go to the bathroom on their lawn.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
And the front.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
They confronted the person with video like here's you and
You're an episode of Cheaters, like here's you and your dog.
Your dog is squatting like near my porch and the
woman was like, no, not my dog. It must have
been a coyote. And it's like the video I have
in my hand.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
I used to hate too rich.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I confronted neighbors because and I'm not looking for trouble.
I'm just a chill straight man. I'm just a chill guy.
I had neighbors that would always throw their dogs poop
in a in a bag and and but never really
tied in my garbage cans when they were on the street. Yeah,

(23:33):
but dude, what would happen is they would smush on
the bottom of the can and it would be disgusting
all because they'd be throwing their stuff in my can.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay with that?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
That's not the trash going out or has already been
emptied if it's empty.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
It would be so gross every time because they would
use my garbage. I was Sam's I was Sam's right.
There's a right answer in the wrong one. If the
garbage had been picked up and your empty cans waiting
to be pulled back you don't put your dog poo and.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's what I mean at the bottom of the can.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
But you know, if garbage, if garbage comes Friday morning
and someone's walking their dog Thursday night and the cans.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Are out, that's fine. That's fine, exactly. Deal.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
All right, let's take one quakie Wallace in North Carolina.

Speaker 9 (24:36):
I have a house.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
People are two hundred and fifty yards away from me.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
In the next house, new neighbors move in. I smoke cigars.

Speaker 8 (24:44):

me I can't.

Speaker 9 (24:46):
Smoke cigars on my back pick and they.

I appreciate all the support. You guys are great Here
to us at Fox Sports Radio now coming out. Before
we get to Denzel Washington, we were talking about like
the worst neighbors and bad neighbors. That was our throwback conversation,

(27:19):
a lot of great feedback there. We were just saying,
how like, wherever you live, sometimes there's a reason why
that really sweet apartment is available because there is some
weird rub like oh, the lady that lives upstairs is
a whack of do like this. Sometimes when something seems
too good to be true, that might be the reason. Man,
this house has been on the market. How did no

(27:40):
one scoop it up? And then you realize that, like
the next door neighbors, like you said, are part of
a motorcycle gang.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, they're shooting guns out of their house, saying get
at a moss tail. Yeah, it was horrible.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
So worst neighbor ever out of California, neighbor from hell.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Follow the story. We'll take one last call.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
We'll talk Denzel eight seven to seven ninety nine on
Fox at Covino and Rich on social media.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Who do we got there?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Let's say, how do you do to Andy in missus
zipp He says, he says he was the bad neighbor.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Oh, it's you know, self awareness is good. What's up Andy?

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Hey, guys, how's it going?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Bro? Hey? I was in my mid teens. My dad
built a concrete dog run for my dog, and I'd
have to go out there and spread it with a
water hose to get the pee off. And then this
is back when they had paper grocery bags, and I'd
take two of those and put the poop in there. Well,
I got sick of doing that. I'm thinking, huh, I'll

(28:38):
just throw it over the fence. Well, I picked the
wrong fence. I should have picked the fence that was
in our property. But I did our mutual fence with
our neighbors. And about a week or so goes by.
Their kids were probably under ten, and like, so you've

(28:58):
been picking up that, you know, taking care of Kelly.
And I was like yeah, yeah, it's like, well, uh
doing the taking to the trash. Yeah, can you tell
me where the neighbors kids have fucking dog ship.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
On the hike? What a great call, But you dropped
the S word. You can't do that. But hey, great call.
Can hear the pod to hear what he said next?

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Catch the pod search a Covino and Rich for every
stream of your podcast or.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
On the YouTube stream because we can't edit that.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Right.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
If you want to hear what he said YouTube, Hey, uh,
I want to move I want to move on from poop.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
If you want to hear what Andy said next, can
I uh cove could I it's a good story, though,
Can I make one less rule before we get to
Isaac and our and our Denzel story?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Based on the fact that we all want to be
good neighbors? Right, if you are getting work done, if
you are having a landscape but ims yeah, if you
are getting worked one like a BBL. Now, if you
if like i'd like, we're redoing the pavers in our backyard, right,
we're you know, if you're getting some landscaping worked one,
you know, a new garage door.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
What is the rule?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Should you give your neighbors the heads up? Like, hey,
just to be a neighborly neighbor.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Hurts just yeah, he's hurt. I don't think you have to.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hey, Saturday, we're gonna have some construction workers over. Pardon
me in advance, you know, like, I think that goes
a long way. It goes a long way, because then
they won't be a pain in the ass. If they
do make noise. It's like if you'd warn your parents.
I'm sorry, if you won the neighbors like, hey, we're
gonna have a party, we might be a little loud,
it's a graduation party. They'd be less inclined to be

(30:29):
an ass to you if you give them a heads
up or invite them over for a drink. Your neighbor's
never gonna complain. If you say, hey, we're having a cookout,
want you swing by for a drink? Guess what that
neighbor won't do call the cops if you're loud.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Hey, rich, I'm moving in next door. Okay, that'll be
a great neighbor. I'll be over all the time.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
My neighbors are selling their house soon, and it is
a fear of mine.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
I'm not gonna lie, but dude, you gotta be real,
a real sticking to my tight ass to want to
call the police or complain when people are just having
a good time, you know, if they're celebrating a Keen
Senia or or Hank's retirement party.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
You know what I mean? Like, hey, do you dude?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
There was there was a King signa in my neighborhood
and it was like right behind my house. They had
a full on mechanical bull that I could see from
my patio, a Mexican DJ. They had like eight hundred
people there. My only complaint was that I wasn't invited. Yes, exactly, Yeah,
and we all know you love the tortos.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
All right, Let's.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Uh, let's go to loan Craft for an update, and
then no, and then and then a great clip from
Denzel Washington talking about sports media.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
What's up? Isaac Fells?

Speaker 10 (31:36):
The Florida State Attorney's office has declined to file chargers
against Cleveland Brown's rookie running back quin Shawn Judkins after
he was accused of misdemeanor battery last month. Meanwhile, a
grand jury in Colin County, Texas, has declined to file
chargers against former Texas receiver Isaiah Bond after he was
accused of sexual assault in April and subsequently was not

(31:59):
selected in the NFL draft. A short time after that,
Bond announced on social media that now that he's been cleared,
he is signing with the Cleveland Browns. Elsewhere, Los Angeles
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh announced that Justin Herbert will
start at quarterback on Saturday against the Rams and play
a series or two. It'll be Herbert's first career preseason appearance. Horble, Sorry, sorry, guys,

(32:25):
I've been bothered by a little chess colt recently.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Anyway.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
In Major League Baseball, Vladimir Guerrero Junior's two run home
run at the bottom of the seventh then and gave
the Toronto Blue Jays a two to one win over
the Chicago Cubs. And finally, guys, in NBA statue news,
the Los Angeles Lakers announced today that they will unveil
a statue of former head coach Patiley outside of Crypto

(32:49):
dot Com Arena prior to a game next February against,
of course, the Boston Celtics.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Back to you, guys, Thank you Isaac, and by the way,
for people watching on the YouTube stream. Isaac, I had
no clue your first radio station was kkt Y Sweet
t Shirt.

Speaker 10 (33:05):
I acknowledge. I did sports talk with with Slater. We
were we were the Covino and Wrich of Bayside High
School kkt Y Tiger Radio. Isaac's got the throwback saved
by the bell shirt. I noticed that I.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Like it all right, Listen, we got more Covino on Rich.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
And Denzel Washington calling us out, calling out sports media.
We'll play the clip, we'll explain next right here, It's
Fox Sports Radio Thursday.

Speaker 11 (33:27):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
All right, DJ Sammy Sam on the Ones and twos,
Danny g Super producing spots on the videos again at
YouTube or should I say YouTube dot com slash at
Covin owner JFSR.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
And now it's time for a new job.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Now it's time for Express Employment Pros to quit the
ndlyst online job search and list the pros and Express
never charges job seekers of thanks again to Expresspros dot Com.
It's actually time for the Express Pros Pro the Week
Boo and Rich precedented. Oh this is a first because
it's not just an Express pro Pro of the Week,

(34:14):
it's the Express Pros Pros of the Week. The winner
is the Mediawuaukee Brewers, the entire team. They're you're Pros
of the week because again seventy six and forty four,
a team with a small payroll that's just in fuego
right now, slaying it in twelve in a row.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
You gotta tip your hat.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Mine's a Yankee hat, a very frustrated Yankee hat, wishing
that our teams were doing what they're doing, and they
caught magic, they caught fire, and we're just sitting here like, wow, man,
that's what chemistry looks like. They're your express pros Pros
of the week and they deserve it all. Right now,
before we get out of here, there was a clip
that I think it would be fun conversation Denzel Washington

(34:59):
speaking his truth about sports media.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Take a listen to the best actor ever.

Speaker 11 (35:05):
I've been a Cowboy fan since the sixties. He's making
it hard for me, wow, not to be a fan
because I'm still a Cowboy fan. I'm still gonna have
to start on the side of the hat. But he
ain't thinking about us. He's thinking about his pocket. Okay,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
All Jerry John on the phone, Get him on the phone.
What does he say? You tell me? What does he say?
He says that he's getting riped my Cowboys.

Speaker 12 (35:32):
We're the most successful brand in sports.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
You know, you mean in terms of what championship?

Speaker 12 (35:36):
No, of course he can't say Championship's talking about recognition, notoriety,
dollars and cents and sports. But in the end, you
haven't been in an NFC championship game or Super Bowl
than thirty years. Thirty years okay, and for some reason,
he's just stubborn, man, he just and then you got
his son sitting there talking about Michael Paulsan's.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Like, hey, well, this is not the exact Nzel clip
that No, this is not the clip I heard because
the clip that we're talking about, and I'm not sure
we may be labeled it wrong.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
That's the wrong Denzel clip. He went off by pulls
Shep Smith for a second. I'm sorry about that. I'm
not sure what happened there. Won't happen again.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
One of my favorite moments ever. When Shepherd Smith made
a retraction. It was the weirdest thing ever. Look it
up on YouTube. Won't happen again, but it might. However,
he went off on talking heads.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Yeah yeah, somebody, I'm sorry about that guy. Somebody labeled
it incorrectly. We got the right one.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
It's okay. But he went off on what he calls opinionaires.
Take a listen.

Speaker 11 (36:42):
There's Box Office and its oscars. Jerry been a while,
he ain't been to the show. You wouldn't know who
hadn't been to the show, so you wouldn't know what
it is to win all money ain't good money.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Jerry that wrong.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
He had a lot to say. We'll just say that,
so just some up trying to get to Okay.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
So what he says is those who can't talk about it,
why don't you you implying the media. I thought he
was talking about guys like Steven A. Smith, primarily like
why don't you become great at something? Because all you're
doing is talking about it? And he goes on to
say that everybody has an opinion nowadays, and I'm sick

(37:24):
of it and.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
I'm fed up with it.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
And even as a broadcaster, rich I feel what he's saying,
like he's talking about people like you and I. But
what makes you and I different, I think is that
we don't claim to be the experts. Yeah we have opinions,
but we're not saying their gospel. But we make fact,
makes possible to know. Yeah, we make fun of the
people that think they know everything. Because it's wildly funny

(37:46):
to me that come every NFL season, every every Friday,
before we get into a weekend of college football and
NFL football, you and I, much like everyone else, we'll
talk about, oh, what games are hot, what picks we
think are fun? But we we always claim that, yeah,
we're really just guessing. Some don't act like they're guessing.
Some act like they know. And if they knew, then

(38:09):
they'd be billionaires because the best gamblers in Vegas and
the best odds makers are hitting at what's slightly over
fifty percent. But it's getting to the point now where
people are fed up with that. And he even says
everyone's got an opinion sitting around getting faty. He calls
people out love it. I think people should check their opinions.

(38:30):
Then I think we have it now. And if we don't,
then you foold me three times. So let's play charge.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Right there we go. Everybody's got an opinion.

Speaker 11 (38:39):
Oh, we live in a world of opinionaire.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Call them opinionaires.

Speaker 11 (38:43):
They're all the shows are a bunch of guys and
a couple of them that are played, But most of
them who haven't who have an opinion about what something
should be when they haven't done it. Those who can't
talk about those who can't. Those who have know what
they're talking about. Those who haven't don't.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Now I've said this for years. Opinions are like podcasts
and stinkholes. Everybody have has one and most of them stink.
A everybody has one, and most of them stink. It's
like your opinion is no better really than anyone else's.
And that's the problem I think with sports media today.
I think people act like they know when they don't,

(39:19):
and it's starting to turn people off, people like Denzel Washington.
So I'm not taking it personal. I feel like what
you and I do is very different. But I think
people are getting tired of the screaming talking heads acting
like they know everything. You know, what is I think
people are sick of I like to think, not guys
like us, who keep it more light and fun. I
think it's the sports analysts and podcasters and shows that

(39:43):
speaking absolutes and then say things like I told you,
I told you, and then then they go bragging about
the one prediction they got right.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
We have people like that on the network.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
It happens, you know, right, I mean, so, hey, I
agree with Denzel. We could wrap it with that and
we'll see you back tomorrow morning in for Dan Patrick.
Until that there you may be seen you in the
Promised Land. Get back bye, guys,
