23:31Rich Eisen:Correct. Okay. And he has willingly of free will. Yeah. Yeah. Chosen to follow the New York Mets. Yeah. Over your Yankees. Over the Yankees. Over the household Yankees. We are a Yankees house. Okay. And this man wants me to travel to Queens. Yes. to go see Mets games at Citi Field. Nice field. Okay. Why is he like the Mets? Because he's just, my fiance drank some water when she was pregnant. And I think there was like amoeba, like something like amoeba. Something was in there? Yeah, like the brain-eat amoeba, but like only half of one. Yeah. And it kind of got in there. Yeah. Sort of like a Bartolo cologne chromosome.

24:12Rich Eisen:Correct. Bartolo cologne, yes. Yeah, a Bartolo chromosome.

24:21Rich Eisen:and so okay yeah my only question for you is a follow-up we've just met yeah can i help yeah i would love for you to help he's got like some sort of like soto disease where he like he just loves juan soto yeah i get that yeah i wish he's just like i wish he doesn't even like soto pop you know what i mean nice he was a yankee before i met yeah that's what i don't understand the whole Like, he didn't like him when he played for the Yankees. So why like him now? I feel like, is he in school right now? Yeah. He's not learning much, apparently. Because I feel like we should call him, you know. We should call my son.

24:57Yeah.

24:58Rich Eisen:What's wrong with you? No, I'd be more gentle. I'd be more gentle. What's wrong with you? But that would be the underlying question. Yeah. Would be what is wrong with you. But I think it's just because dad likes it. He doesn't want to like it. We went to a Knicks game one time. They were playing the Raptors. And he's like, I want the dinosaur team to win. I was like, that's Toronto. He goes, yeah, I know. I like your son. Okay. What do you mean? What is wrong with you? Mets fan. He's a Mets fan. Oh, okay. Yeah, broken. We get it. Your son gets it. Yeah, how's that record going for you right now?

25:29Hey, listen, there's 127 games. Yeah, okay. Got a lot of time to turn the ship around. They really like to wait a long time to turn the ship around, don't they?

25:37Rich Eisen:Yes. Listen, don't you worry about us. Yeah. We'll be fine. Yeah. 1986 to now. There's a ship that's been. That ship, like Tom Hanks, needs a new captain, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, Corey B. Thank you. Here on the show. All right, so we're here. We have something we like to call R.E.S., Rich Eyes and Show Consulting. Okay, yeah. So we can add this to our list of to-do items. Please. What's your son's name? His name is Lexington. Lexington. What about Lex? Is that named after the avenue? It's named after nothing but the fact that if you got a job application in your hand and you got Frank and you got Lexington, you're going to say Lexington is probably the guy.

26:13That's the only, I've never met, unhomed Lexington.

26:16Rich Eisen:We must hire this Lexington. Who the hell is Frank? Frank's got no shot around here. Frank's got qualifications, yeah, but Lexington's got the name. Damn straight. He's got syllables. Okay, so Lexington, we're here for you as a service to call him up and basically say, I can attest to this. There are more championship possibilities. There are more World Series appearances. There are more. There's more happiness. Yeah. There's more happiness. One is a path of disappointment and self-loathing. Yeah. And another is a much happier life. I will say this, though. My son is convinced that he will one day play for the Dodgers.

26:55And he has told everyone this. And he thinks he is the second coming of Shohei Otani. And I have to keep reminding him, you're not even Asian. As if that's the first requirement. Yeah, that's the first requirement to be Shohei Otani. You're never going to be 6 '4", and you won't be Asian. It's not going to be – we can go to Japan as many times as you want.

27:15Rich Eisen:It's not going to hurt. It's not going to help. Does he know about deferring salaries? That's the only way you can be a Dodger. He has no idea. I don't even know about that. And so – but I – Okay. Sorry. Ask him to defer his allowance. Yeah. Many of their star players are currently deferring much of their salary so they don't have to get paid so much that there's a luxury tax that gets the Dodgers. So then they get paid down the road. As if they don't have the money for it. Gotcha. Did you play baseball? I did. I played baseball growing up. I was somewhat of an all-star. I played. I was. Was there a somewhat of an all-star team?

27:50Rich Eisen:Yeah, I was. I didn't know that there was such a thing. In high school, they had all-county, and I was somewhat of all-county. And it was great. But I did play baseball. That was like my childhood. Up until I was 18, I played ball, and I played in Japan. I played on a travel ball team who was number one in the nation every year so you were really locked in yeah I was locked in so your parents were driving you all over every weekend was somewhere new every weekend was a different state or a different city in Florida so who did you want to be I wanted to be Derek Jeter that's why I wanted to be Nomar Garcia Parra and I know that was conflicting interests but I wanted to be a great store shop I mean it was Nomar, A-Rod and Jeter for your choices for somebody, I'm sure, in your generation.

28:36I didn't hit puberty, though, until I was 26. So every coach looked at me, and they're like, no, not even 120 pounds soaking wet. Are you going to make this college baseball? Yeah.

28:45Rich Eisen:That's a problem, biologically. It was. But, you know, I had heart, but my heart wasn't big enough. It was just a small heart. So you tapped out of baseball. I tapped out once I got kicked off my – so I wasn't able to make my college baseball team because it was a Christian school, and I got caught at a party. I wasn't even drinking alcohol. I was too small. It would have killed me. I was at a party that had alcohol, and they found out, and they didn't even let me. The coach was like, this guy's a bad influence. I was like, yeah, but I'm a great right fielder. Like, I can catch the ball real well.

29:17There you go. Didn't care. Didn't work. No, Jesus took the wheel. He just went like this. Different direction. So then I was like, you know what? I'm just going to do comedy and radio.

29:27Rich Eisen:Well, and then how do you find the interests that we see, you know, all over your feeds? Like where you got comedy skits, you got your food hacks, you got all like where do you where do you. I was just doing at one point anything to make it work. I wanted to be I had a third grade teacher tell me, yeah, school's not for you. And you better find a job in entertainment or else. And I was like, I'm nine. You should not tell me. Like, that's the best. You can't tell that to a nine year old. And I just kind of like went that route. and I was determined to make it whether or not someone was going to help me, whether or not I could get acting roles or auditions.

30:04So social media kind of gave me a platform to do it myself. And I was making skits and all these things and going viral. And during the pandemic, everyone was inside making banana bread and just ridiculous recipes. And sometimes I would see a recipe that I was like, there's no way that works or that tastes good. So I would react to it and try it out myself. But the way I would react to it was in a goofy manner and saying these witty, silly, stupid things. Right. And it just went viral. And I've been writing it ever since.

30:29Rich Eisen:What was the first one where you're like, oh, my God, this is something I can do here? There was a video where, okay, well, the first one I did that went viral was me. I played a part, I played my fiance and myself in a role where I would go back and forth, kind of like an Eddie Murphy movie. And it was like driving with your girlfriend be like, and it was just every turn was the wrong turn. And why did you take this way? And there's a pothole there. And I want McDonald's, never mind. I want Burger. It was just a chaotic video that was relatable to everyone that watched it that was in a relationship.

30:57They went viral. So I just kept going from there. But the one that I did that was a reaction video was someone spilled ragu on a rug and cleaned it up with beer. And I was like, there's no way that works. Let me try it. So I spilled ragu on our brand new white rug in hopes that it would work. And it didn't. And my fiance's reaction and just every she was like, what are you doing? We're trapped inside. Like everyone going nuts. We're going cuckoo. It's the pandemic in New York City. Everyone's bananas. Yeah. And so like it went viral and I'm like, we got something here. And she's like, well, as long as you can afford a new rug, you know, as long as you can buy a new rug, then I'm fine with it.

31:36Right. And I bought all the rugs after that. It was Rug City. Yeah. Yeah. I was Aladdin. I had all the rugs. Yeah.

31:42Rich Eisen:And then and then just the baking, the cooking, just cooking was just another thing. Like I've always been in a cook. My mom always had like Emeril on like the BAM guy. Yeah. As a kid, the Food Network. New Orleans? Yeah. I'm not from there. I know that. Yeah, he's from. Yeah, yeah, he's from. I'm sorry. That's just every time I hear Emerald, that was a knee jerk reaction where I just said New Orleans. New Orleans. New Orleans, yeah. Bam, kick it up a notch. Yeah. But yeah, I remember that always being on TV. And I was always, you know, I would cook things up in my little George Foreman grill, bland chicken, usually, you know.

32:11Right. White household chicken. Nice. And it just became a thing. I love food and I love being goofy. and it really worked for me and I was able to put my comedic tone into food videos. And so I've just been riding with that ever since.

32:25Rich Eisen:And Lexington's in a lot of your videos. He's in some of them, yeah, when he's not being a jerk. He doesn't watch this show. Yeah. I love my son. Well, he will now when we turn him into a Yankee fan. He's taxing. You know, kids can be, I love my son more than anything, but sometimes he's like, he's been watching some things that he hasn't been supposed to watch and he'll go to, man, he was at a, euphoria no no no right now that would be an issue no although okay yeah i heard that's good for you know helping kids out fine never mind that's right i will go straight exactly that's works that's the new that's 2026 conversion therapy is watching here son watch this don't be don't be that her name's sydney sweden um and uh but he he was at um an after school program one day where they all play video games.

33:16Some kid was showing him Saw videos. And he comes, yeah, he comes home and he's like, I saw something I should have never seen. And he told me, I'm like, I'm so sorry. But then he went to school and started repeating it. And now his teachers are calling me. They're like, we have a problem here. And I was like, you guys have started the problem. And I wasn't even going to be the one to say it. I wasn't even going to tattletale because that's not my type. But you guys started it. Now he's homeschooled. Now we have a meeting on Tuesday, next week. And that's how he became a Met fan. And it's just, you know, having

33:44Rich Eisen:a kid you got a son right i've got two boys and a daughter how old uh 17 and 15 are the boys and my daughter's yeah oh but i've been on all this stuff yeah oh yeah i did keep him out keep him away from caillou because he's a whiny canadian how long do you have to wipe your kids before well listen cory i know we've just met but just yesterday what wait i don't know i mean you know when they got until they got out of diapers diapers my it was eight It was last year, eight years old, my son finally stopped. I was like, I can't. I've got to stop doing this, man. Dude. I've got to stop. Okay. Don't judge me.

34:18I'm just trying to be a supportive parent. No, we will not judge you, but we're out of time. He's a Mets fan. We've already said that. He needs help.

34:24Rich Eisen:He's all right. When did your dad stop helping you? Probably when him and my mom broke up. Oh, man. But it all makes sense now why you like the Mets. You like turmoil. That's right. Very good. CoreyB.com Cincinnati, Ohio Virginia Beach, Virginia Sugarloaf, New York Plano, Texas You're all over the place Yeah man, I'm all over You're all over the place Tell me about your pods as well I got a podcast That I do with my friends I got one The Kane and Corey show That I do with a buddy That I was on the radio With the mornings with Kane was on the Kane used to do mornings With Howard Stern A long time ago And we got kicked off Because some things We weren't supposed to say on air That's odd So we started a podcast And then And I do another podcast with my comedian friends, my buddies that we're on the road together all the time.

35:13I bring them everywhere. Matt Lopes is one and Marcus Monroe. They're the great guys. Both have millions of followers. But it's just that we're kind of, you know, we have fun together. We really mesh well. Yeah, we do everything. We're on the road. We wrote a script for a TV show pilot that we're going to pitch soon. Okay. Yeah, pumped.

35:31Rich Eisen:Good for you. You're pitching? You're working? I went from pitching to now pitching. It's just different pitching. Yeah. Never catching. Always pitching. Okay, understood it. CoreyB.com is how you can get tickets. And again, the Boyfriends Podcast, Kane and Corey Podcast as well. Congrats on everything going on in your world. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. You too. This place is fantastic. I appreciate you saying that. We've been cultivating this caper for almost 11 years. You've really done it. You know, I appreciate that. I feel like a million bucks. Thank you, man. And I appreciate you coming on here as well.

36:05Rich Eisen:We're here for your son. I feel, honestly Bring it to me In all seriousness though, TJ If you had a chance to talk to Lexington what would you tell him about being a Met fan? Oh, it's filled with just pain, but you know it's going to make you stronger as a human being Sounds like that teacher when you were nine years old You're not going to bounce a crap You heard my man over here Why don't you just show him another Sol video while you're at it? My man brought me over here talking about we won four World Series

36:39Rich Eisen:I'm sorry you're right I'm wrong I'll be quiet what would you tell Lexington about being a Met fan I mean it teaches you to be stronger like Brockman's over here talking about we won four World Series you haven't won one since 2018 that's great we haven't won one since 1986 it's going to make us a little bit stronger as a human being and probably a little tougher and he's going to need that or he could just go bandwagon jump the Yankees You know, it's not bandwagon jumping anything because, you know, the Yankees have not delivered the World Series championship since 2009, far more recent than 1986.

37:14Rich Eisen:The way you talk about him every day is like you just won. No, no, I don't. I don't. I don't. But again, I'm a Michigan Wolverine fan. Okay. So watching Michigan get their ass handed to us by Ohio State year after year after year. Yeah, I've got to stop cheating. I would sit there. I kept sitting there going, you know what? I would throw myself into the love of my children. You know what I mean? We were getting so beat during the games. I'm like, let's play Uno. I'm like, what must it feel like? You know who's not playing Uno right now? Buckeye fans. Because they're just high-fiving each other, having a good time.

37:46Rich Eisen:Exactly. Highlights. That's what he sounds like right there. Yeah. You're playing Uno. I'm going to tell Lex, he wasn't around in 86. I barely remember it. Don't, Lex, listen to me, B. There you go. Pick a different team. Don't do that to yourself, man. Sound advice. Yeah. And I'm making him strong. I make him take the subway to the Yankees. By the way, it's much nicer taking that subway to Yankee Stadium than sitting in a car, man. Damn sure. Sometimes. It depends on what car you're in. Listen, the D train's better than the 7 train. That's the truth. I don't even live there, so you're not hurting me with it.

38:22Rich Eisen:I'm not asking. Oh, the D train. I take the 405 and the 10. I take the 405. I didn't mean to drag you down to our level. It's okay. I like it. Corey B, everybody, right here on The Rich Eisen Show. We'll be back to wrap it with your phone calls in a second.

40:38Rich Eisen:What's up, David? Hey, how you doing, Rich? I'm doing well. What's on your mind? Oh, man. So I'm a big time fan, long time listener on YouTube. First time caller. Hey. So yesterday I was listening to the overreaction Monday like I normally do. Excellent. And got a little triggered, Rich, not going to lie. What triggered you? Chris had a topic talking about six running backs to break 1 ,600 yards next year. And he starts listing off the potential people that can do it. Yep. and he brings up Ashton Gentney, and I feel like you just dismissed it. Yeah, because Ashton Gentney, and I'll tell you why, David.

41:24Rich Eisen:Again, and this is either true or false for, you know, everyone else who took him in fantasy last year. First round, destroyed my team. Destroyed it. I made some other poor choices, but I mean. Four teams took him as high as three. So it doesn't mean he can't do it this year. It's just a massively tall leap, man. So that's why I said it's more, it's, you know, an overreaction. That's why. Hey, and you know what? I respected that, Rich. But then moments later, Omari and Hampton came up, and you were just Googling for that name. And you just, I don't know why. I feel like Ashton Gentry has a better case to break 1600 versus Omari and Hampton.

42:09Okay. Great on the line. The only thing I can see maybe where it would take away is they drafted a running back this year who can be pretty good.

42:19Rich Eisen:But obviously Colton Miller's really good. You know, if healthy, so is Rashawn Slater. So is Alt, you know.

42:32Rich Eisen:Big center pickup. Right. I kind of think that, you know, the Chargers are better equipped than the Raiders were last year. coming into this year. Maybe I'm wrong, but put a pin in it. I love Merced, California. I got my start up there in the North State. So say hello to everybody in the neighborhood. David, thanks for the call. Love you, Rich. Thank you. That's David in Merced, California. Hampton only had 56 % of the yards that Jente had. I understand. He was harsh. He was healthy when it counted. Fantasy playoffs. I've got a name that I can't quit. Oh. Oh. In this rookie class, I keep mentioning him.

43:13Rich Eisen:No one else does because no one's talking about offensive linemen. It's Venga Ioane from Penn State. I can't quit him. Every day you're bringing this guy. Why not? Why not? I've got an overreaction Monday on a Tuesday subject matter about him. You just listen to him. He met with the media. First round draft choice, 14th overall. The Ravens know exactly what to do with him, which is work him and use him right away, and he's going to work people. What's the setup to the first sound bite there? Oh, but being in the NFL, hit it. It's unbelievable. You know, me and Kyron Hudson, my teammate from Penn State, and we were just talking after practice yesterday.

43:54It's like it's a crazy feeling knowing that you're wearing the NFL shield on your chest now, playing in the league. We just finished our first practice in the NFL. It's definitely a feeling of being blessed, you know. Definitely wouldn't picture myself here a while ago, but just happy that I'm here now.

44:08Rich Eisen:I love it. Ravens are going to be so happy with him. They're moving him to the right guard, which is fascinating. That's what he said about being moved there. For me at Penn State, I played both left and right, a little bit of center as well. Shout out to Phil Charlin, my online coach at Penn State. He made sure every day we were rotating left and right just to get used to it. But out here, it's definitely a little bit of work to get used to again, but ain't much to it. He's going to be so good. how good he's going to be. Finalist for offensive rookie of the year. At right guard. He is 400 to 1 to win the award.

44:50Rich Eisen:I'm not saying he's going to win it. I don't. I'm just telling you the odds. Because, you know, right guard's offensive lineman being nominated, let alone winning. Winning. That's how good he is. He stays healthy. A finalist as a lineman. Final five. For offensive. Final five. Final five. Wow. Oh, yeah. That is scorching hot. That is red hot. Red hot. But it's an overreaction Monday on a Tuesday. It's an overreaction. And not because he doesn't deserve it, just because the voters just don't do that. You're just right. You don't look at interior linemen. Yeah. Interior linemen. Now, to boot, I'm telling everybody, all those mocks where he was going in the low 20s, I was like, get out of here with that.

45:36Rich Eisen:We put too much emphasis on these mocks, man. Well, you heard Kyle Shannon said that they look at them. And that they're often right. Yeah, but they're often not right. I know. You could say the same thing about the Mets bullpen. I mean, you know, you, Dead Horse. You walked into that. This guy walked into it. He's the reason why people hate the Yankees. Yeah. Well, there's no doubt about that. The show's about to end. Whatever you're doing on your phone, you could do in 30 seconds. Not me, him. No, not me. Thanks for joining the program. What else do you want to know? What else do you want to know?
