Speaker 3: She's like, Dad, I got Ellis's birthday party tonight and Becca's birthday party tomorrow. And by the way, you know this costs a lot, right that's at least one hundred bucks, right I.

00:01:49
Speaker 4: Was gonna say it's gone up to a seventy five dollars gift card.

00:01:51
Speaker 3: It's like fifty to seventy five, depending on how well you know the kids.

00:01:55
Speaker 2: Damn, I'm like, you don't know that to do that? Well, hang you with the bucks, hits, bro, I'm killing you.

00:01:59
Speaker 4: You think twenty five bucks cuts it? That's like a one hundreds ago one hundred bucks for a full tank of gas right now.

00:02:05
Speaker 3: Yo, I'm telling you those that are going prices again, we're out here in Los Angeles. It might be a little different, that's fair, But the old twenty spot or twenty five bucks. You do in the birthday card, fifty bean a ruse, especially if they're having it at a place, at a place, you gotta give. But if they're like price seventy five, if you're saying regular birthday fifty, yeah, I mean, you don't want to be the cheap skate. You don't want to get a reputation. But when someone's like, yeah, little.

00:02:29
Speaker 2: Connor is having people over the backyard and they're just gonna run around and have cake, I'm like, fifty you give in twenty five?

00:02:35
Speaker 4: You have to, I think, right.

00:02:36
Speaker 3: Rich, Yeah, ninety four dollars, mister money bags from Fox Sports Daddy stacks with the twenties. You don't want to get a cheapskate reputation, but you can't even get a lap dance for twenty bucks.

00:02:49
Speaker 2: Well, they make the song it's tree Flash.

00:02:51
Speaker 3: Last laptance is still twenty but they play twelve second songs.

Speaker 4: What you're gonna do?

00:05:04
Speaker 3: Brother, It's WrestleMania weekend, So maybe we kick a back, throw it back with a little.

00:05:35
Speaker 2: We get you ready for the weekends. Noltick Ground.

00:05:38
Speaker 3: There's a big story in the world of tailgating. We're gonna get to it just a second. But you're talking about the kids in the weekend and Danny G. You got a little one. How old is cod now? He looks like he's twelve.

00:05:48
Speaker 4: Yes, he's two. He's two.

00:05:50
Speaker 2: He's got a Mustang.

00:05:51
Speaker 3: But no Joe, Danny G's kids two but probably could pass for four. Yeah, he's alway those little kids where his feet are dragging in the stroller. When you're go to Disney or you're flying or doing something, you probably look like you're lying when you do age.

00:06:03
Speaker 4: He's the youngest person in America to get carted.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: Yo, I swear yes to Danny's like, yeah, he's a lap kid.

00:06:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a year. Yes, we brought him to Disneyland in Anaheim a couple of months back, and they wanted to see his ticket. They wanted proof of his ticket because three and under his free We're like, we swear he's nowhere near three, don't you guys? Share sneakers? Okay, guy? Yeah, the under three? Okay.

00:06:30
Speaker 3: Because Danny g came in with those light up ones with Deville Crow, I was like, dude, what are those?

00:06:34
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, I put on COVID. I'm where co was dark. He's a future Las Vegas Raider linebacker.

00:06:41
Speaker 3: Well you know what that might give you a little hypothetical We're going to get to later as well. But uh, I did want to bring up one thing something I never understood until I had kids. And I know a lot of people listening that you know, we're dad's living that dad life or mom in life. When someone would say, you know, I can't even go to the bathroom in peace, I would always be like, yeah, I thought it was just like a joke. I can't even dude wipe in peace. When you got little kids, you can't even go to the bathroom without someone being like, Dad, you in there, Dad can And they try opening the door.

00:07:17
Speaker 4: You like, can't dad.

00:07:20
Speaker 3: Sleep alone for one minute? That's all right, So let's talk a little tailgating. And I bring this up because we've all been to a ton of football games. Hey, some baseball stadiums in Jackgate, Rich and I have gone as far as making a yearly trip to visit a new stadium every year with our buddies. Yeah, and honestly, I recommend it for everybody if you have that hectic life. We just spoke of taking that little trip. That bro's trip is something you really look forward to. You know what I think is next? I think we need to see It feels creepy because it sounds like we're making it so like college scene, But I feel like we need to hit up a college game at some point, not not to like stare at college ass. I just think that scene is fun. Like we've never been to like a Georgia or Alabama game, an Iowa game? Come on now, I was Sam, I would love to we've been to a Notre Dame game. That is, how about buck guys at Iowa next year? So the whole scene of tailgating and football partying.

00:08:21
Speaker 2: Oh, tailgating. I wrote tail gazing my bad. I was way off. I was way off. I thought we were talking about booties.

00:08:31
Speaker 3: So there's a big story, and it's it's more of a national story because I think state to state, stadium to stadium, different things are coming out. But when the World Cup is here, when FIFA gives you your football, your soccer, there was an original rumor that there would be no tailgating allowed anywhere.

00:08:52
Speaker 4: No oh you wanted. People were so freaked out that FIFA had to put out a statement on it.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: What's wild is that Cavino's right. You would have thought they said something way more severe.

00:09:04
Speaker 2: It all ties back to what we were touching on.

00:09:07
Speaker 4: Seriously.

00:09:08
Speaker 3: It goes to show you not necessarily like what a problem people got, but how stressed out and how how much people want to unleash and unwind Where it's an issue, It's.

00:09:18
Speaker 4: Like, no tailgating, are you choking me?

00:09:22
Speaker 3: People hate their work and they're so stressed out that they need to tailgate.

00:09:29
Speaker 2: People have people there.

00:09:30
Speaker 3: I understand we don't like to be told what to do, but is it that big of a deal. People got their grill set up? Some people right, like you know, big vans and trucks in where they have TV set ups so they could watch the other games before the game, and they hoist the flags on top of their car. Like for some people, why don't you, you know, have some fun at home, pregame at home.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: This solution I.

00:09:52
Speaker 4: Don't understand me. It's a whole culture.

00:09:55
Speaker 2: I get it.

00:09:55
Speaker 4: But if I had taken you to one of the famous Oakland Coliseum to gate parties for the Raiders, you would understand. I went, I got initiative. I can't back with a Raiders tattoo.

00:10:06
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you do make a great point, dany g I get it. We're I'm a Jersey guy, riches from New York. I can't say that tailgating was a major no major like college situation. Yeah, giant tailgate gips. I'm like, yeah, like your buddy would be. Yeah, I'm gonna make some sussage out of the back of the car and a little grill.

00:10:24
Speaker 2: We've all done that, so that's fair. I get it.

00:10:27
Speaker 3: But you know there are ways, you know, taking uber there, uh and buy some drinks inside. Look, I know it's not the same, but this is a different situation.

00:10:36
Speaker 4: Well, you must explained what the fans are having to do in Vegas, right, because this has become a bigger story. But COVID's so important to American sports fans that actual new stadium locations have been chosen based on whether orenough there's enough space for the right amount of tailgating.

00:10:53
Speaker 3: But who gets rowdier and more passionate about their team than then blokes overseas.

00:11:00
Speaker 2: That's what's wilding. Begin to me, the hooligans get.

00:11:03
Speaker 3: More wild and roundy than any fan base that I know of, and even they're perplexed by, like tailgating?

00:11:10
Speaker 2: Was that about that?

00:11:11
Speaker 3: There was an international clip floating around Danny g I know you got a queued up.

00:11:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's from Sky Sports News in London.

00:11:17
Speaker 2: London.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: They're having to practically explain what US Americans do.

00:11:23
Speaker 4: What is tailgating?

00:11:25
Speaker 6: The FIFA World Cup of the Tournament is continuing to be in broad and controversy, with the practice of tailgating, a major tradition at US sporting events, being calling the question for more on this, delighted to say, I'm joined by chief correspondent Carvase. Carve tell us, then, what is tailgating that such a big deal?

00:11:43
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:11:43
Speaker 7: I mean I FIFA have moved really really quickly to deny multiple reports in the US that they're going to ban tailgating at the World Cup. This summer. Tailgating basically is a real integral part of US sports culture, and it involves turning up early for American football games, for instance, a party.

00:12:05
Speaker 3: Imagine the outside looking in, and in a particular in the case, they actually destroyed tables.

00:12:13
Speaker 4: And on their on their screen, they're showing a clip of Packers fans partying in the parking lote.

00:12:17
Speaker 3: There's something called beer helmets. It's like a party. It's integral to the posts where they bring food wrapped in aluminium.

00:12:28
Speaker 2: Huh, what what are they targeting about?

00:12:30
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean but outside looking in, do we realize that it looks kind of wild? Some light tables on fire in the snow and jumping through Why, that's why we're the land of the Free. Though, that's a little fun, wouldn't you say? Covin know we have more fun than most countries. But that was my point, Danny g If you look at the hooligans, you know, I've been to their hooligans inside the stadium and at the pub's pre I mean, I feel like they drink from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed. So I'm saying there's ways to bond and unwind and make it still happen. It's like, no one's saying you can't tailgate for the rest of your life. This is just one particular moment that you have to abide by a different set of rules, Like we can't be adults for one.

00:13:15
Speaker 2: Like it's embarrassed.

00:13:16
Speaker 3: It's embarrassing as as a US citizen here though, they need to conform to our tradition.

00:13:23
Speaker 2: Dude, I love your side of this for real.

00:13:25
Speaker 3: But on the flips from a guy who's like, all right, I'm not a big tailgater. I'm also not frowning on the culture rich and I when we do travel these stadiums, if we're invited by friends, yo, let's go.

00:13:34
Speaker 4: Let's see what it's all about.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: Wailgated with friends in Denver in uh, San Francis, San Francisco.

00:13:40
Speaker 2: So I'm totally open to it. I get it.

00:13:42
Speaker 3: You know, you need your your your koozies and your outfits, and you're ready to go and party with the people. But if you have to make one adjustment this one time, and you could still drink and party and have camaraderie and still have a great time. You can't make it happen. Could I give you another?

00:14:00
Speaker 4: But it seems to be it's a big, big deal for everything. You ever taken a shot out of a ski, it's called I.

00:14:08
Speaker 3: Have Have you ever taken a shot out of a boot? I have a great analogy, a Colin cowhard level analogy.

00:14:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll be the judge.

00:14:19
Speaker 3: Then, going to a game without any tailgate culture might as well be like going to a wedding where they're like, yeah, it's a dry wedding, no alcohol.

00:14:30
Speaker 4: You'd be like, oh go, But.

00:14:34
Speaker 2: You gotta say it like Colin.

00:14:35
Speaker 4: If you're going to give a Colin analogy, it would be like going to a wedding. You see stars attract other stars.

00:14:44
Speaker 2: Stars.

00:14:45
Speaker 3: No, he's got the stars. They got stars, And we say that respectfully. Is it that big of a deal. Danny G can't be the only guy because we understand that it's a part of every major game in our country. We see we're sports fans as well. The tone it's fine, no one, no one's down playing how much fun it is and how it's family and as Danny G said, culture is part of the culture. It's culture that you there's culture things, there's cultural things that you observe that you are thinking, I would never do that, But I'm really thankful for those people. Rich people like what their faces painted. And I see people pull up with a big truck with TVs on the side of it and flags hoisted high and they got, you know, five grills go and I'm like, I would, I would never spend all my time doing.

00:15:34
Speaker 2: That, but God blessed that guy. Yeah.

00:15:37
Speaker 3: But you know what, here's the other thing. Most of those people are there. I don't want to say because they don't love the team, because of course they do, but I think they love that part of it sometimes as much, if not more. It's the culture they're there. Yeah, they're there for that. They're there for that. How many people I've seen part that's part of that partymosphere.

00:16:00
Speaker 4: It's so good.

00:16:01
Speaker 3: How many times have you met someone and they're like, yeah, you know, my uncle Al, he's been tailgating, you know, outside Eagles games for for the last twenty five years and he has like a green painted special truck he breaks out on Sundays to go to the link and they, you know, they have a whole setup, and he's like, I got the cheese.

00:16:19
Speaker 4: Steaks every Sunday.

00:16:20
Speaker 3: Like there is a there's a culture that it's almost like your identity as a fan in a way.

00:16:24
Speaker 4: It's not a replacement for the actual game that's about to happen. It's part of the routine. You get there at a certain time. You know all the regulars or season ticket holders that are going to be in your section of the parking lot. It's a family thing, definitely, an extended extended family. We have a pop up tent with a DJ setup with his turntables. The party gets started, the drinks flow, the barbecue's going, the grill is going. I'm sorry. In California we say barbecue. Don't get offended.

00:16:51
Speaker 2: Same in New York we say barbecue.

00:16:53
Speaker 4: And so that was like, you mean grilling barbecue is like brisket and we throw the football around. We have the pregame on on that on that football team's radio station, and it's just like this great, the best pregame experience you can have.

00:17:08
Speaker 2: And then well, yeah, yeah, it's a ritual.

00:17:10
Speaker 4: We look at our clocks and we're like, guys, put everything, it is time to get in ink.

00:17:15
Speaker 2: It would be like going to hold on.

00:17:17
Speaker 3: When I hear this, rich, I assume a lot of times, because you know this has been a growing story. I'm like, wait, so they're not letting people drink at the games, and that's not the story. So I want to make that clear too that people know that. No, honestly. So then it's the culture part that you're really taking away from. Yeah, it would be like going to Vegas and that's people, not people watching. It would be like there's like there you go to a game, especially, I would say more so in college football, if you took away the pregame part of it, think about it not only drinking and acting a fool. Danny just disrapts some great things. I remember when we went to a Niners game a couple of years ago. Every section of the parking lot had another mix DJ like set up out of the back.

00:17:58
Speaker 4: Of a truck.

00:17:59
Speaker 3: How about another way to look at it, like this is a tournament. This is a different way to approach this type of game, maybe more of a prestigious situation. They're trying to establish prestige every whose fans over there. There are maniactions like us. I'm just saying we are that upset about it, and I'm opening that up as a question to you at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox. They can't or you can't just roll with the rules this one time. It's not a forever sort of thing that they're saying state by state. They're saying for the World Cup. So all right, well on a WrestleMania, on a WRESTLEMANI weekend, pose the question like you're ravishing Rick Ruth. I honestly, again, I don't live the culture, so I saw I was trying to make clear here, but I would just roll with it, and I really wouldn't.

00:18:46
Speaker 8: Find American football all day event WrestleMania. I think that's also like an all day event. It's like eight hours long, but you go to a tailgate, youar there for a few hours, then the football game itself is three and a three and a half hours, then maybe you go tail get afterward. A soccer match is ninety minute, it's like no commercial breaks. You gotta get in there, you gotta pound some beers, you have fun, you're out, you're done. So like I think there's some songs, there's some differences between obviously American football tailgating, and then your European soccer.

00:19:10
Speaker 3: Can I bring my voover zeila. Let's make this clear. You gotta drink a beer out of it. You gotta start your Roy Kent chanter or you're Jamie Tart, Yeah, Ted Lasso style.

00:19:22
Speaker 2: When the tail game.

00:19:23
Speaker 3: When you go to a game, let's say it's a I don't know, for four pm Eastern game or even one'clock.

00:19:30
Speaker 4: You know you're not going.

00:19:32
Speaker 3: There twenty minutes or fifteen minutes before the game like you would maybe a baseball game, dann you go to Dodger Stadium, you're showing up for a seven to ten game, maybe six thirty six, forty five maybe the earliest unless you're seeing BP. You want to get there, get your seed, grab a drink, all right, come on, national anthem, first pitch football?

00:19:48
Speaker 2: Could you know what I will tell you?

00:19:50
Speaker 3: Our ritual when we go with our buddies, it's we plan hours ahead of time just to be like, all right, let's let's go there, let's see what the deal is, right, And you know there are hours eating, drinking, people offering you food. It's a really generous atmosphere. In my opinion, generous, Danny G. Culture, second family, all that stuff. Are we Americans all of a sudden so hardcore soccer fans that we need this sort of atmosphere. That's the other thing. I feel like it's fraudulent. Give me, it's your opportunity to host, and.

00:20:20
Speaker 4: You want to you want to bring if they're to the party with the like minded fans and friends, and.

00:20:27
Speaker 3: Like that's what I'm saying. Like, I think you're just really hung up on any sausage and beer.

00:20:32
Speaker 4: And I think people are excited that the World Cup is gonna be here. It's a big deal, so they want to have it as a celebration.

00:20:43
Speaker 2: It's a bigger story than you realize.

00:20:46
Speaker 3: Well, people are freaking out that there's no tailgating in Philadelphia. Philadelphia was very quick to announce no, no, that will be tailgating here. They were, they were probably very excited to make that announced getting in at a Phillies game, you know.

00:21:01
Speaker 4: And it is a great atmosphere well.

00:21:03
Speaker 3: Up in the New England area. Last I checked, they're saying no at Gilette. So this seems to be a city to city decision. And I don't know, Danny G. Describes something I want to reiterate. When you go to a tailgate mixed DJs. I keep saying flags flying because I picture everyone with their team flags and it's like, hey, find me, I'll be by the I got like the red either the red and black Niners flag by a blue truck. Then I think there's nothing more fun. When you're at a tailgate. You see some guys throwing her football. You give them a little.

00:21:37
Speaker 2: Hey, it's a stranger throws your football.

00:21:40
Speaker 4: You throw back and you keep moving. Yeah, there's something and it's like a pot look. Think of like the best super Bowl party you've ever been to. That's what the tailgate parties are like, because everybody brings the dish. Every food aspect of tailgating is big. Oh dude, everything's laid out on all these tables and trunks and you know.

00:21:58
Speaker 2: So I feel like I'm the only guy saying.

00:22:02
Speaker 3: Stop crying about you know you can still put paint on your face and uh wear your goofy outfit. It's a again at a big tailgate, right at a big tailgate. So what are you gonna do about it? Everyone's solution. You could either complain or have an idea. Here, what's the solution? Everyone asks all the upsit tailgaters out there. Everyone acts like a really generous like Italian noa at a game where every where everyone wants you to try my meat.

00:22:29
Speaker 4: Like it's say usually what everyone I want to see you eat? You think about it. For the most part, you need nourishment for the most part.

00:22:35
Speaker 2: We're like Americans.

00:22:37
Speaker 4: You sell skin, you have some more what we're.

00:22:40
Speaker 3: Like pretty, We're pretty selfish and like, gig get out of here. At a tailgate, a stranger will be like, yo, my guy, you want to murder.

00:22:50
Speaker 4: Not not just strangers, but I've seen fans of the opposing team. They're like friendly, you know, fire friendly. Mixing it up with the.

00:22:59
Speaker 8: Game hasn't been decided yet, so everybody's okay, Yeah, it's not till the game's over.

00:23:04
Speaker 4: Try that afterwards.

00:23:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a sense also, you're right, if you're a visiting fan, there is a ya, I'm not gonna hate you until kickoff. Hey, you want to drink. You don't see fights before the game usually remember that just a question. I'm not downplaying it because I've done it.

00:23:21
Speaker 2: It's fun.

00:23:22
Speaker 3: I get it. I don't get it, but I don't live it. I know you don't get clear. But if it's so dope, right, you mean to tell me they're not doing this in other places. I think that's the other shocker for everybody.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: They don't even know.

00:23:38
Speaker 4: What it is overseas.

00:23:39
Speaker 2: It's like we're living on another planet.

00:23:41
Speaker 4: By the way, you also get to see the early games because people bring big screens. Let's go the Origins. Cool, let's go to the Origin.

00:23:48
Speaker 2: Please explain tile gite.

00:23:51
Speaker 3: So maybe they don't even know what it isn't on their truck.

00:23:55
Speaker 8: They don't have a truck, so they don't know what the tailgate is. You put the tailgate down. They're like, there's your your your.

00:24:00
Speaker 3: Americans all wank us if they take taxi cabs from the public one fifty.

00:24:06
Speaker 4: Look at these guys, little crazy, ain't it? If it's so cool? It really is just an American thing.

00:24:14
Speaker 3: That's that to me is the biggest I'm like blown away by that because you would assume, you know, at least I did assume. And I've been to these international events and even boxing events, and I mean, these dudes are rowdy, they know how to party, but they don't tailgate. That's clearly just an American thing that might be common knowledge to most.

00:24:34
Speaker 2: I never really thought about it until now.

00:24:37
Speaker 3: There's something also very story, something very interesting about how different we all are, even within our own country. Like I was Sam, I've always said, if you were a foreign visitor to the United States, there's such a drastic difference, if you were visiting La versus New York, versus Georgia versus Texas. Like each state is its own little country. You go to Italy, good chance of being like, yeah, I'm going to Rome or Florence or something, or hey, I'm going to Paris.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: You go to the United States, I feel like you.

00:25:08
Speaker 3: I can name me twenty places that are so drastically different from each other, physically different, culturally different.

00:25:13
Speaker 4: Efferything language is spoken.

00:25:15
Speaker 3: And tailgating in this culture is very football but also very college trooble in the South.

00:25:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm keep to keep it clear.

00:25:22
Speaker 3: Cavino, I'm from Union, New Jersey, rich Davis Franklin Square along Island. Covino is a Jersey guido that is a big Yankees fan. Look, he's got one of his forty seven Yankee hats on today.

00:25:34
Speaker 2: I made this one's making his debut here on The Dan Patrick Show.

00:25:37
Speaker 3: So you think when you look at a guy at Cavino who's New Jersey Yankees, Oh gold chains. That type of guy also the type of guy that's like, Yeah, I don't want you to I don't want to owe anyone anything. Yo, I don't need your stuff. He's not cut from the cloth of this tailgate culture.

00:25:54
Speaker 2: What's that clock leather? What's the cloth?

00:25:58
Speaker 3: Some love lore Ony soprano of for Lord jumps out for Lord Jack is beautiful.

00:26:03
Speaker 2: So it's just I'm not saying.

00:26:05
Speaker 3: I grew up with it, but you certainly did not at all because you're a Yankees guy. I understand it. I understand it. I'm wondering, are we making too big of a deal or do you understand? So we open it up though we're having a discussion. That's why we include you the most inclusive show on radio. Covino and rich In for Dan Patrick eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:28:03
Speaker 3: And for over forty years, by the way, our friends at tire rackt they've been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Of course shift fast and free back by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerac dot com. The way tire buying should be. Now, we've been to Notre Dame, We've been to ut We've been We've been to some good college tailgates, NFL tailgates. But how important to the culture of sports is tailgating? Because, as you know, FIFA the World Cup coming to the States, and there's a statements being put out because different stadiums are saying no tailgating. Some are saying, of course, there's tailgating, and it's causing a stir to say the least.

00:28:43
Speaker 2: Why do you think they're saying no though? Just safety reasons.

00:28:48
Speaker 4: Maybe to save money on parking a lot security or wanting to sell more alcohol inside the stadium.

00:28:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's got to be reasons, but it's such a part of the culture.

00:28:57
Speaker 4: Let's go to you.

00:28:57
Speaker 3: Guys, most interactive show, Danny G. Where do we want to start? Eight oh five Area Code.

00:29:01
Speaker 4: Let's start with Reggie and Oxnard, California.

00:29:05
Speaker 9: Hey, what's up, Danny G. I remember you back at one O four seven Danny G in the morning. Yeah, what up?

00:29:12
Speaker 5: Ox Nor?

00:29:13
Speaker 9: What's up? Caveno? Hey, Caveno, go get your shine box.

00:29:17
Speaker 4: Huh.

00:29:23
Speaker 9: Anyways, I want to weigh in on the tail getting. I used to go to the Raiders in Oakland. I mean that was like a like an adventure. You know, you didn't know you're gonna come out there arrested, beat up, Yeah, full on, you know, carne asada going on in the in the parking lot.

00:29:43
Speaker 3: Try to it's such a it's such a it's such a part of the scene, right, I mean, it's such a part of the experience. Yeah, but we know that, Rich, It's just like we can't just adjust this one time. That's that's my question. We're so hardcore soccer all of a sudden, I just don't get it. It's like it's you understanding part of the game day experience going just going to the football game.

00:30:06
Speaker 2: I don't think it would be enough.

00:30:07
Speaker 3: You could go to just a baseball game, like, oh, let's get there by first pitcher, Yo, let's get to the Lakers game by tip off. I don't think you could just get to a football game for kickoff. I think part of the experience is like walking through the parking lot visiting friends at different tailgates. You don't just go to a football game. You don't do it even if you don't know anyone there. You're walking around like, oh, I know our buddy Dan Bayer and Jason Stewart, didn't They go to a Buffalo Bills game last year and they like part of the experience was like you got to.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: Just check out what they're doing.

00:30:38
Speaker 3: Just playing Devil's Afghan at this point, okay, because there's a lot of questions that I have in regards to no tailgating at FIFA.

00:30:46
Speaker 2: What sport do we primarily tailgate for foosball? Yeah?

00:30:50
Speaker 3: Do we tailgate for baseball or basketball? I mean there's people that do that. Part of the culture.

00:30:54
Speaker 4: We're pushing that onto this.

00:30:56
Speaker 3: So if that's not part of this sport because around the world they don't do this.

00:31:01
Speaker 2: Why are we forcing this?

00:31:03
Speaker 3: Like, why do we got to put our American traditions on something that doesn't go with Yeah, but it doesn't go with the game, you know what I mean? So I imagine other nations like what a bunch of morons.

00:31:14
Speaker 2: We can't say?

00:31:15
Speaker 4: They say what goes with the game? Yeah?

00:31:17
Speaker 3: But dude, then why don't we tail if it's so important? Why don't we tailgate for the NBA? Why don't we tailgate for baseball? There are some baseball those guys are out of their minds, Danny g I get it, and that's what fanatics are and we need people like that and I appreciate it. But that's not everybody. So what I'm saying, can't we be on our best behavior for this one tournament and then tailgate at what we're good at, tailgating at football not football. Football make a pretty disappoint here, guys. Part of the deal soccer. I feel like we need to be on our worst behavior. And you know what I think if people are paying a ton of money for these tickets. By the way, I know there's a lot of reason stuff, but people are spending top dollar.

00:32:01
Speaker 2: They want the full experience.

00:32:02
Speaker 4: We need to bring bring him in. We need to host a good party.

00:32:05
Speaker 3: Come on, you're doing it, you know, doing coms saying hey, come here for our big party.

00:32:11
Speaker 2: But we're not gonna play any music.

00:32:14
Speaker 3: Boom because the fun is inside. Dude, I don't know everything, but I think that's why it's also important to explain where we're from and.

00:32:22
Speaker 4: Who we are.

00:32:23
Speaker 3: You're right as a jersey guy going to the game. I'm running in all cold in my leather jacket, and I see all the dude going inside.

00:32:31
Speaker 4: A little different from different, and I got to catch the game. I paid a nickel for the trolley. Let's talk to the American city in our country for football. Canton, Ohio is on the line way.

00:32:44
Speaker 2: Again football, this is soccer.

00:32:47
Speaker 4: I put the ball. Listen, let's talk to him. Wave.

00:32:52
Speaker 2: What's up buddy?

00:32:53
Speaker 10: Hey you guys doing good man?

00:32:54
Speaker 2: What's up?

00:32:55
Speaker 5: All right?

00:32:56
Speaker 10: You have to understand in England, every city has a socer team and it's small, so you have to think everything is walking distance. So instead of driving to the game, you walk to the gate. So people go to the pub and hang out like an hour before the gig and then they walk to thing.

00:33:21
Speaker 3: So I mean, listen, I know it's fictional, but if you watch ted Lasso, you would know before and after the games, you know, the same crew of.

00:33:29
Speaker 4: Buffoons would be.

00:33:30
Speaker 8: That's the best, the walking, drinking beers at the pub, having a beer, walking to the game. Like I grew up in a town where I could walk to Kinnick Stadium in fifteen minutes. You have to worry about parking, and like you're in that party atmosphere all of a sudden, and it's great. Yeah, you could just have a beer walk over, no stress.

00:33:44
Speaker 3: At all, And what a relief to be able to drink and party and not have to worry about driving.

00:33:49
Speaker 4: Oh as a walker, I can picture him in Vegas walking around with those big giant glasses.

00:33:54
Speaker 8: But like just in a college sometimes a college atmosphere is a little easier to deal with because like you can just kind of get right to there.

00:33:59
Speaker 4: You don't have to like waiting traffic for an hour. You said, put away the cournhole, put it with the grills, let's uh, let's go to Georgia. Mark wants to talk to you guys.

00:34:07
Speaker 2: I respect it.

00:34:08
Speaker 3: I just think it's off the arrogant to think in typical American fashion. And I'm not anti American at all. Look at me, I'm Captain America. He's wearing New York New York. It's all the arrogant of us to think that what we say goes here when it's not part of this sport. It's like, if we're hosting this big, I don't know, golfing tournament that we don't normally have, we're gonna just change the culture and just start barbecuing because it's what we do. It's like, this is not how this sport works. Maybe we're just trying to put our best foot forward for all the international fans here who don't necessarily do this.

00:34:43
Speaker 2: Is the money thing.

00:34:44
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

00:34:44
Speaker 2: Let's I'm sure it is money. We're revoking your these colors, don't run t shirts.

00:34:51
Speaker 4: Come, let's talk to Georgia. Mark is on the line.

00:34:56
Speaker 11: Hey guys, great show. Hey, I'm gonna pull a rich here and.

00:34:59
Speaker 12: Doing it now ology.

00:35:01
Speaker 4: All right.

00:35:03
Speaker 11: The Olympics are just like what we're talking about, and every country that hosts it gets to have their flavor of their country and their traditions as part of that, which is going to happen when it comes to the United States, these kind of things where we countries host the largest sports uh activities in the world, get to have the flavor of their country, and our country is based on the automobile we.

00:35:30
Speaker 2: Liveit's got.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: Makes a good point. Our country is about driving, So continue mosquite and honeynut cheerios.

00:35:43
Speaker 3: No, he's right, and and the reality is it would be like if you go to your friends for you go to a certain friend's house for a game night or a cookout. You know what if you hey, every time we go to uh, you know, Doug's house, He's always got brisket, that's his thing.

00:35:57
Speaker 4: We go to Danny's.

00:35:58
Speaker 3: Danny's his wife makes smith Burgers every time. Like people have their specialty. And what he's saying is the United States specialty is tailgate culture. Can I just give a solution, though, we can't complain without solutions, You and your buddies who can die hard soccer women don't want solutions. Don't women just like to get playing stopped with the Is it complain owen bitch? Or can we just come up with an idea? You go to your local bar, right just like they doing. Ted Lasso go to your local bar, your buddies, hardcourse soccer fans.

00:36:29
Speaker 4: That's a hoot.

00:36:30
Speaker 3: Get blasted, order some wings, order brisket, order barbecue, or maybe do it at home. Right, Yeah, I don't know, Splurge a little bit. You already bought these overly priced tickets, get an uber and go to the game. Like you missed out on that little portion of the fun. Is it about that? Or is it about the game you just had all your fun? Isn't that a solution? Why is that a problem just for this? No one's saying no tailgating for the rest of your life, Like, give me a break. We're adults, you're acting like three year olds. Well that's buzzkill Cavino. I'm rich. And for the guy that's honestly just talking sense here, I think I think nine out of ten people will be like, yeah, dude, it's no one's down playing that it's fun.

00:37:11
Speaker 2: I'm saying this is a one time thing.

00:37:13
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, when you're hanging in Pittsburgh with Dan Patrick and Miller light, yeah, Covino's gonna.

00:38:55
Speaker 3: But you know what I want to post on our Instagram at Covino Rich Have you guys seen the Ride or Die Batboy video yet? Willie Adamas on the Giants got hit by a pitch. Did you see this or not?

00:39:04
Speaker 4: Danny, I haven't seen this show.

00:39:06
Speaker 3: He gets drilled by a pitch and the bat boy picks up his bat and walks down to first base with him in between the pitcher and him while he's trash talking like almost like security and they're calling him the Ride or Die bat Blade. Nice commitment I'll post it during the next break at Covin and Rich. But where do we want to start. Let's start in Jersey with ken Yo tailgating. How much of it is part of the culture World Cup coming here? Do we need to have tailgates everywhere? I say yes, Covino says no. Well, I mean it's not that I'm dumping on tailgating. I'm saying it's well, I'll let you guys handle it.

00:39:43
Speaker 10: Ken I can tell you what's up.

00:39:48
Speaker 9: Hey, I can tell you I'm from Jersey, but I went to Iowa.

00:39:53
Speaker 12: Go.

00:39:53
Speaker 10: Yeah, all right, what times is it?

00:39:58
Speaker 11: What times is there?

00:40:00
Speaker 10: There's a parking lot open at Chemmick It's like seven am.

00:40:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess if you have an eleven am game, it's pretty early, but pretty early there.

00:40:07
Speaker 2: You know what I was saying.

00:40:08
Speaker 4: I was saying, I described this to.

00:40:10
Speaker 2: You off the air, and this is no knock on Cabino. He's my boy.

00:40:13
Speaker 3: But everything Cavino is is the opposite of tailgate culture.

00:40:16
Speaker 2: For the most part. Can I understand Cano's like.

00:40:19
Speaker 3: Cavino's like a Jersey guy. I go to the Yankee game, I get there for first pitch. I got a fresh new Yankees hat. I'm drinking a vodka soda.

00:40:27
Speaker 2: Cavino's not the.

00:40:28
Speaker 3: Type of guy. We're in a beer helmet in a parking lot for six hours. I feel like that is the opposite of the cloth you're cut from. Like I said, you're cut from a tony soprano of lore.

00:40:36
Speaker 4: You walk with swag right to the gate.

00:40:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cavino's like, I get it, You're not knocking it. Made it sound like I'm an extra on the Sopranos or something.

00:40:45
Speaker 8: I mean, all right, but I'm gonna bring Steve Cavina to an Iowa tailgate and he's gonna be like Randy Quaid and Kingpin where he's got like the beer helmet stuck to his face.

00:40:54
Speaker 4: I guest day he wakes up, he's got a tattoo on his way back. Let's go to a city where you can walk around with open alcohol. Vay gets Todd is in the house.
