Since I'm Coach Rich, the most winning coach on Fox Sports Radio. You know, you keep saying that? You might get punched in the nose by a guy named Doug. Yeah, he won last night. You know? Suck on that.

Hip, hip, hooray.

That's good to hear. Hey, you don't think I root for him? Of course I root for him. Why would I not root for Doug Gottlie? Eat that, coach. So, you know, I coach girls, softball, and boys little league. Same level as college men's basketball. Come on. Exactly. So I'm like, let me be the cool coach.

So as I'm running some errands this morning,

guess what I peep? same level as college men's basketball. Come on. Exactly. So I'm like, let me be the cool coach.

So as I'm running some errands this morning, guess what I peep and I see at the corner of my eye.

A big display of big league chew. Oh, I love it. And I said, wouldn't I be the coolest tee ball coach if I came with a pack of big league chew? I love it. I invented by former Yankee pitcher Jim Bouton. And I get in the car. I said we did the separate and, you know, run a couple errands like, babe, you go get the coffee. I'll go to the dollar tree. You go here. I'll go to CVS. I'll meet you back in the car. My wife made it seem like I bought the kids like weed gummies or something. Like fake candy cigarettes? I bought him candy cigarettes. Oh, because you're teaching them how to chew. No, she said Yeah. Little Dikes. He's raising little Dykesras over here. Pack a lip over here. angle was... What do you think you're playing with? Bruce Bochy? She's your little six-year-olds. She said, you're coaching five- and six-year-olds. You think their parents all let them chew gum? I'm like... Oh, she's concerned about the fact that it's gum? Or like choking hazard? I thought she'd be concerned with the fact that, yeah, it was, it was chew and it's, it's mimicking tobacco. No, she was saying, little Brett Butler's. She was insinuating like, you think, you think a bunch of five-year-old L.A. parents are going to be like, little Gregor's doesn't chew gum. And I'm like, come on. Rich, do you give him a little spittoon? So funny, dude. So, I mean, I start today's ridiculous Friday, Kavino and Rich. Again, we're going to get to NFL and MLB and all that. But is it crazy to give a bunch of tee ball kids like, hey, Coach Rich is here.

Here's some big league chew.

I thought that was a cool coach move.

I guess in L.A. rules are a little different.

You have a lot of.

No, it's true because parents here are extra corny, to be honest.

It's also way more competitive than anywhere we grow up. Anywhere we grew up is one-third. Extra gum. They don't want your kids to have. You can't bring cupcakes to the school because they don't want the kids to have sugar without parents' permission. It's school-school. My school cupcakes are allowed. Yeah, but it was an LAUSD rule for a long time. I know you don't play by rules.

Yeah. So certain parents are concerned about the amount of sugar you give their kids. And I understand that. I think it's not a big deal. My son's birthday was last week. We brought in cupcakes. I understand, Rich. But that was a rule. I don't know what to tell you. You know? They lifted it. Okay. Great, Grant.

It's a bit of a nanny state at times.

If you think that parents don't care about to tell you. They lifted it. Okay, great. It's a bit of a nanny state at times.

If you think that parents don't care about that, you're the guy who's wrong. I'm sorry to tell you that. Certain parents care about that. Do I think it's corny? Yeah, I do. Let the kid have an ice pop. Let him have some gum. He's a kid. But I'm telling you it's just how it is out here.

They're worried that Rich is turning their children into a bunch of violet boer guards, you know,

chewing gum all the time.
