2:34

It's the Max. I love it. I

2:36

have Hamberger joined the Max.

2:38

Now we got midweek major today

2:40

the biggest stories and headlines in the world of sports

2:42

and pop culture.

2:43

We go over them. Are they mid? Are they weak? Are

2:45

they major? I was gonna say not enough

2:48

waiters do magic like the

2:50

Max. I forgot he

2:52

did that.

2:52

I wasn't as big on that show, Mama

2:55

Preppy as you were.

2:56

You know. I watched it, but it was more of my little

2:58

sister's show. I was hitting home runs.

3:01

I was in my room listening to Zach Attack

3:03

on cassettes.

3:04

Yeah rich

3:06

friends for it was rocking

3:08

out to the Zach Attack. Yeah

3:11

yeah, I was already outside playing and stuff. Anyway,

3:14

we got to talk about, well,

3:17

Tyrese Maxey, what a shot. I hope

3:19

you had a Tyrese Maxey sort of night, seventy

3:21

six ers, Calves Bucks sort of night.

3:23

Are you gonna give him the finger?

3:24

What?

3:24

I'm gonna give him the finger?

3:25

Like Tracy Morgan,

3:29

I'm gonna get someone pregnant? Did you see

3:31

Tracy Morgan giving him flipping

3:33

him the bird. Anyway, what a shot,

3:36

what a game. Some great games last night, Good

3:38

games tonight. But we also

3:40

have to talk Anthony Edwards. Danny

3:43

g you got scoop on him? Is he Jordan's

3:45

son? I heard he's Michael Jordan's

3:47

son.

3:47

Sure looks that way.

3:48

Yeah, people are saying that it could

3:51

be. Honestly, it's just a fun rumor that people

3:53

are running with because of the way he's playing and how

3:55

he looks and seems sort of head and

3:57

the ears are similar. And Jordan has said,

3:59

like back in the day, he was running

4:02

wild around two thousand and one when

4:04

Edwards was born. I mean, I'm just saying I

4:07

and he's possible. I doubt it. I mean, you

4:10

might have some kids running. You did some damage in nearly

4:12

two thousands too. NBA players never

4:15

step out on their girlfriends or wives.

4:17

You know that. Oh yeah, good point. Loyal

4:20

might be the father.

4:21

Yeah.

4:22

Mj himself has admitted that

4:24

Anthony Edwards looks the most similar

4:26

to him in his playing days.

4:28

Yeah, you are the five. That

4:31

is a compliment.

4:31

So Anthony Edwards says something about one of the other

4:34

goats Lebron James.

4:35

We'll get to that.

4:36

And according to the Internet, yeah, TikTok

4:38

in fact, which means it has to be true.

4:40

I'll count two hundred days left.

4:42

Then I'll just say

4:44

rumors allegedly, supposedly as

4:47

people saying correctly and correctly, Jordan

4:50

was at three to five women per day around the two

4:52

thousand and one season, three to five a

4:54

day. It was during his later years.

4:56

Women were coming out left and right.

4:59

He may have kids out there.

5:01

Was he the original spokesman for Chalk Maybe

5:03

one of them in the NBA. Guy's chucked up

5:05

seriously again, rumors allegedly,

5:08

who knows.

5:08

It's just a fun story, But Anthony Edwards

5:11

is in the news and it actually involves

5:13

Lebron. He's not coming

5:15

to Jordan's defense. He's coming to Lebron's defense.

5:17

And we'll explain. And by the

5:19

way, if you're wondering why we're playing the whole

5:21

be clip, we'll get to that in midweek major with spot.

5:23

But last night, pretty fun that

5:26

a beekeeper came to

5:29

rescue the Dodgers Diamondbacks game

5:31

and throughout the first pitch.

5:32

Yeah, he was at his son's little league game

5:35

when they called him he had to sit

5:37

through traffic to get to the stadium.

5:39

That's awesome. Hey, I gotta get there. Hey you

5:41

gotta sit in traffic like everyone else, buddy.

5:43

Yeah, but uh, I'm the beekeeper.

5:46

I'm here to save the day.

5:48

So well, honestly, who's more important than

5:50

that guy in that moment?

5:52

Right, Yeah, there's like

5:54

forty people there, they're all waiting.

5:56

He's like, no, no, no, I'm the guy. I'm

5:59

the guy.

6:00

My wife he heard this on the Dodger broadcast and

6:02

she said, is he the only bee keeper

6:04

in the entire city?

6:06

I mean, you ever get down is

6:08

it a wormboler.

6:09

Rabbit hole on social media? Rabbit rabbit

6:11

hole once you're going to space? Yeah,

6:14

you ever go down a rabbit hole? Because I know Spot

6:16

has of that

6:18

good looking girl who's a bee keeper and she picks

6:21

up bees by the handful.

6:22

It's it'll make you.

6:23

Be like but at the same time fascinating

6:26

how people that are in that world. Clearly

6:29

there's not many. We had to wait two hours for the Dodgers

6:32

Tedbacks game. But bee keepers,

6:35

no fear, Matt, hold

6:39

on, hold on And by the way, speaking

6:41

of that's from Tommy Boy, or is it Black Sheep.

6:44

Tommy Boy is Tommy walter

6:48

Hauser different plots. Paul walter

6:50

Hauser, best known as Sting

6:52

Ray from Cobra Kai, is

6:55

portraying Chris Farley in

6:57

an upcoming film with our pal Josh

6:59

Gaddie. Believe Josh gadd is

7:01

directing it or creating this movie. So a

7:04

lot of pressure on better get that right. Sting

7:06

ready to get it right, But I

7:08

have a way back Wednesday question. I

7:10

got coffee coffee

7:13

for the first person that knows it right?

7:15

Okay? Based on the bees,

7:20

what word did they use to describe.

7:22

The Jaba Chamberlain

7:24

story in the playoffs?

7:26

Midges?

7:28

I owe you coffee, bro man, and he wants

7:30

and he wants a VENTI I

7:33

didn't say, but actually.

7:35

It's not politically correct to say that word.

7:37

Any no, no midges

7:40

the thing of another letter.

7:42

Yeah, yeah, oh, you were right. I

7:44

would have forgot that. Did anyone else really know?

7:46

Or no?

7:47

They're like very small gnats.

7:49

You would have said nats, right, I would have said nats, but it

7:51

was they always used midges a midge.

7:53

You're so right? You know what? For real loan

7:55

crime? I owe you one,

7:58

so.

7:59

Shout out out we'll give him props and then we'll tuckle

8:02

NBA. But Matt Hilton

8:04

saves the day. Matt and Hilton, everybody the

8:06

bee keeper in the Phoenix Scottsdale

8:09

area that came to the rescue

8:11

for the Dodgers d Backs game and his first pitch

8:13

was better than your boys the other day. What

8:16

Yeah, noa Khan, so

8:19

hey, that's a pretty cool day for that guy.

8:21

Imagine that. You're like, what was he in his kid's game?

8:23

He said, dude, yeah, that's

8:25

what Danny g says doing this too. Yeah, you

8:27

can't, honestly when you that's a great sort

8:30

of observation. Rich think about

8:32

that. This dude just cruising around doing

8:35

his dad thing, being a

8:37

b guy. All of a sudden, all

8:40

of a sudden, he's all over Sports Center, Like you don't

8:42

wake up thinking this could be the day

8:44

I'm throwing out a first pitch and I'm the hero of

8:47

the game.

8:47

They said.

8:47

He was hanging around his kids baseball

8:50

game that cell phone started to ring.

8:52

He picks it up. It's the Diamondbacks. Then like, you

8:54

gotta get over here. Now, you know know funny about

8:56

that. I take my kid to school like any

8:58

good parent does right, like

9:01

any parent has to. But I had this

9:03

little lesson without even thinking about that this morning.

9:06

Here's two things you gotta do as a parent.

9:07

You got to.

9:08

Introduce them to cool music on their way to school, tell

9:11

them what these songs mean to you, be an influence,

9:13

and then teach them a little lesson. And I

9:15

was like, you know what, I'm exhausted, Melody w

9:17

dad, Dad, couldn't sleep at all. But

9:20

you know what, you know, it gets me up. What the

9:23

thought that anything could happen? Yeah, not

9:25

bad things. That's not talking a bad thing. I'm talking like something

9:27

cool could happen. An old friend could reach out,

9:30

You can get a promotion, something

9:32

amazing.

9:33

Think about that.

9:34

This dude was the hero of the day,

9:37

had no idea that was about to happen.

9:39

Well paid for his

9:41

coffee, unlike Isaac Castill.

9:42

Yes, what about her? Know what's in story?

9:45

Yeah, went about his day excited, hanging

9:47

with his kids. Probably dropped it. Oh dropped my kid

9:49

off at gymnastics, going to the kids a little league game.

9:51

You might see a heinee that changes your

9:53

life all of a sudden, you just don't know. All of a sudden,

9:55

he's saving the day at Chase Field and

9:57

throws out the first pitch, and Matt Hilton

10:00

is getting props today like.

10:02

No other bee keeper ever.

10:03

You know what, it reminds me of the famous It always reminds

10:05

me of one of those like Ends of the World movies

10:08

where random guy becomes the hero, Like

10:10

no random person gets a phone call like aren't

10:12

you the expert in like I don't know the

10:14

Earth's core? Why I am

10:17

come come to the White House immediately, And then all

10:19

of a sudden they're dragging like a Jeff Goldbloom typed

10:22

to the White House in the war room, like

10:25

I didn't expect this, And

10:27

that goes with our conversation Danny

10:29

g earlier this week. The spontaneity

10:32

takes a lot of pressure off of things like that, like

10:34

had he known that, you know

10:36

what, on this day, I'm gonna

10:38

have to go there and be the hero and then throw out the

10:40

first pitch. Nerves might get to you, but

10:42

the spontaneity of it all makes

10:44

it just like, what in the hell's going on?

10:46

It's just fun And what a day for that

10:48

guy? So that happened? Do they've just left the bees

10:50

there? They

10:53

were? But why were they attracted to like

10:55

the wires. It was like, was there covered in uh,

10:57

some kind of sugar.

10:58

I don't someone left their uh

11:01

their chocolate turro on the

11:03

top top of the It was a brawl yesterday,

11:06

and the bee thing seemed a little more exciting,

11:09

to be honest.

11:10

That was interesting too, because if you've seen

11:12

any of the video clips, he was spraying

11:14

the bee hive with something and

11:16

then not a hive. I guess he's

11:19

got a swarm. The swarm there like swarming.

11:21

Then he took like the vacuum cleaner and

11:24

they were okay. I gathered him.

11:25

Ok. I looked it up.

11:26

It's sugar water spray that they used

11:29

to calm to calm the bees down.

11:30

Makes sense.

11:31

Bees are essential to our

11:33

whole ecosystem. Take a walk around your block because

11:36

I do that with my kids.

11:37

Honey around.

11:38

Honey is one of the only things that doesn't have an

11:40

expiration date on it.

11:41

Wow, dropping fun facts

11:43

thirteen minutes into the show. For real, bee It's

11:45

the only thing my grandmother left me in her will.

11:48

Here's my honey and Daniel Danny still

11:51

waiting to eat it because it has no expiration.

11:54

I'll take a walk with my kids around the block.

11:55

And you know, out here in La there's a lot of lavender plants

11:57

and I always tell my son, I go, yo, Ben, look

12:00

at the plant lavender.

12:01

What does it have?

12:02

Bees?

12:03

Yeah? The bees everywhere important

12:05

to this.

12:06

We figured we'd harp on it, guys, because no

12:08

one else here on Fox Sports Radio will.

12:11

So that's what we do. Cavino and Richal worldwide

12:13

leaders of nonsense. Now, we promised you have some

12:15

Anthony Edwards talk, and we

12:17

got to get into it. He posted something that

12:21

I think everybody could

12:24

relate to understand. You might

12:26

not agree, but you can't

12:28

deny what he says to be true. Okay,

12:32

Now, he posts

12:35

via Instagram, Anthony Edwards superstar.

12:38

I've never seen so many people be

12:40

so happy to see an athlete fail more

12:43

than Lebron Lebron James

12:45

facts. His whole

12:48

career, He's been hated on constantly and

12:50

slandered to no end, to the point where

12:53

when he retires, no

12:55

one would have appreciated his greatness.

12:57

I'm reading it word for word, he

13:00

says. I'm glad I will be the

13:02

one who did. Now he's not the

13:04

only one, but he is one who

13:06

did. Okay, Jews

13:09

now now you have

13:12

to ask yourself, well is this true?

13:14

And you have to ask yourself, well, why is

13:18

Lebron James the most cheered against,

13:21

rooted against athlete in our lifetime?

13:24

And like Covino said, you gotta ask why

13:26

because you could hear names like Michael

13:28

Vick, Ray Lewis, Deshaun Watson,

13:30

Tiger Woods, Mike Tyson,

13:32

Kobe Bryant.

13:33

People have had things happen

13:35

throughout.

13:36

Their career where fans could be like Ronto, no,

13:38

no, they did something questionable. Lebron

13:40

has done nothing of the sorts,

13:43

or has he? Is this an unwarranted reputation?

13:46

Is this unfair? Or

13:49

maybe Edwards grew up he was a little kid. He

13:51

doesn't remember the perceptions

13:53

some people had to Lebron. He just looked at him as

13:55

a hero. He stayed out of the social issues.

13:58

He agreed on

14:00

what Lebron was standing for at the time. Who knows

14:02

what Edward. Maybe Edwards just admired him as

14:04

a basketball player, which a lot of us should, right.

14:07

But there's more to Lebron than meets

14:09

the eye. And that's why that's really

14:11

it. Whether you agree with him or not.

14:14

The unwarranted

14:16

response and reaction or the fans that

14:19

don't root for him or hate on him.

14:22

That all comes from things that he brought

14:24

on himself. You

14:27

could say for the greater good of mankind,

14:30

or you could say it just rubbed people the wrong way. I mean,

14:33

I think Kerry gets started with his

14:36

sense of maybe arrogance as a younger player,

14:39

like when he was early on in Cleveland. I

14:41

don't think there was anything in Cleveland he was loved. Was

14:43

it all started outside of Cleveland? I'm

14:45

talking said Miami. I would

14:48

say Miami, then the Miami. The decision is I'm

14:50

the decision. The arrogance that maybe

14:52

a lot of people took from

14:54

that. I'm not saying it was there, but that was

14:56

the reputation. That's what he put out there. And

14:58

then of course his stance on certain social issues.

15:01

I'm not debating whether his stance was right or wrong.

15:03

I'm saying any time you're outspoken

15:06

like that, it's going to be polarizing.

15:08

And that's why, be honest,

15:10

I'll play dumb. What political stances

15:12

has he had the people? It's not political stances,

15:15

more social issues stances.

15:17

Probably in the right we're standing

15:19

up.

15:19

For his people, you

15:22

know, just culture issues that's all just

15:24

being an outspoken figure where Jordan

15:27

kept to himself. That's really what the conversation

15:29

comes down to.

15:30

Yeah, Rich, there was a whole space jam being

15:32

released in China. Thing lots of different

15:34

than Yeah, stuff like that.

15:37

There was any story where let's

15:39

say he had a stand up for the little guy,

15:42

he did and you could say, well, good for him,

15:44

because other superstars stayed out of it,

15:47

and you catch last flak as

15:49

as a result of that.

15:50

Yeah.

15:51

One thing we did point out on our show before, though,

15:53

Covino, there's been times where and

15:55

I hate this, it's the media's fault, the reporter's

15:57

fault.

15:58

They will run to him like.

15:59

Little kids anytime something

16:01

breaks in the news, and they'll say, what's

16:04

your thought on it, what's your stance on it?

16:06

And he feels that pressure. He's kind of

16:08

backed in it. He never hit from it.

16:10

No, he didn't commend that.

16:11

But instead of saying, you know what, I

16:14

need to do some research on that. I need to figure

16:16

out what I think about that, he has spoken

16:18

and you could tell, like his book,

16:20

he didn't read into it, and

16:23

so sometimes it just comes off as

16:25

you know, him just talking.

16:27

So I'm not saying Anthony

16:29

Edwards is wrong by any means, but I

16:32

think there's reasons that people

16:35

have reacted that way, you know, for

16:38

right or wrong.

16:39

That's why there is a reason.

16:41

That's why I want to love to Michael Jordan because he

16:43

wouldn't respond on things

16:45

like that back in the day.

16:46

He didn't and you just appreciated him as

16:48

a basketball player.

16:50

Lebron James was way more out there

16:52

with his opinions, and again you

16:54

could commend him for it, but it also rub people the wrong

16:56

way.

16:57

It's like any polarizing figure. Rich.

16:59

Yeah, but I don't want to know why

17:02

eight seven seven nine nine on focks like well,

17:05

because of antics, because of the decision,

17:08

because he because he flails his arms.

17:10

During a foul like that for reason.

17:12

Yeah, there's a lot of people that don't like it because he's great,

17:15

and sometimes you don't necessarily

17:17

embrace the greatness. I mean, why

17:19

would anyone really hate on Tom Brady? To be honest,

17:22

he wasn't a guy that wasn't necessarily

17:25

outspoken by any means, and

17:28

people hate on him because simply he's great.

17:30

Right.

17:31

I'm just curious as to in

17:33

a world where there are athletes are getting

17:35

legal issues guys are getting bad accidents

17:38

drugs. Well, you're asking I don't

17:40

hate Lebron James at all. I think he's one

17:43

of the greatest guys and and honestly

17:45

thrilled that we were able to witness him live and watch

17:48

his whole career. I mean, I took my little

17:50

brother to see him his rookie year just to make

17:52

sure, Like, dude, I want you to know

17:55

you're seeing Lebron shames, dude,

17:57

because he's a once in a lifetime guy. So you're

18:00

asking the wrong, dude, I

18:01

do I know the people

18:03

out there that do hate him, it's

18:05

because he rubs them the wrong way on

18:08

the court and off the court.

18:09

He can't say.

18:12

You can't say it's because

18:14

oh Space Dram two and China.

18:16

No, I don't think anyone cares.

18:17

I think it's because he flails his arms during

18:19

fouls and he did the decision. There's

18:23

like you could point to a few moments that Lebron

18:27

seems arrogant or maybe.

18:29

Entitled or something, whatever the case may be.

18:31

I feel like it's completely unwarranted

18:34

for him to be the most rooted against

18:36

athlete of the last twenty five thirty

18:38

years. I mean, if you could read my

18:40

handwriting. I haven't written down right here on warrant

18:43

unwarranted reputation. It's

18:46

kind of unfair. But

18:48

again, it's

18:51

like us doing a radio show. The microphone

18:53

is in that guy's face so much that

18:56

he's gonna say things eventually that

18:59

just people the wrong way. We

19:01

as radio hosts every

19:03

day deal with backlash because

19:06

not everybody's gonna agree with everything

19:09

you say. And when you live under that

19:11

microscope and every word and everything

19:13

you do is speculated on, you're

19:16

gonna have people.

19:16

That just hate on it. I'll tell you what.

19:18

And he was very outspoken in his career. The

19:20

point has he never hid from anything. If I lived

19:22

under the Lebron whisoscope, yeah,

19:25

I.

19:26

Be canceled fifty times.

19:28

All the things you may have said or did or dude,

19:31

oh you might have been seen with a female

19:33

coworker and people have been like he's cheating on his

19:35

wife. Like Lebron is pretty clear. The point is

19:37

simple. Guys like Jordan

19:39

gave back to their community. It's not what I'm saying,

19:42

but back in those days, if someone

19:44

went to Michael Jordan with

19:46

a question about any issue outside of basketball,

19:49

his reputation was and the way it was

19:51

handled back then was I'm not

19:53

talking about that. We're talking about basketball

19:56

for the most part, at least in that era. Is

19:58

how Jordan handled his stuff, his

20:00

business. Lebron didn't shy

20:03

away from those things, whatever

20:05

the issue may have been and not.

20:07

And you know, as a radio host, not everybody agrees

20:10

with everything that's

20:12

true. Now, I will quote

20:15

Dan Bayer, who

20:19

was in on the Update the day we were talking

20:21

about the NFL draft. Do you think Dan Bayer,

20:23

Isaac Lohancrown and Monty do you think they keep score?

20:25

Who has the best points on shows? They

20:29

don't have to? It's me, okay, leaderboard,

20:32

Isaac Lohan, Kron. Dan Byer didn't make a great

20:34

point the other day. I'll give him props.

20:35

I love dB.

20:36

We're talking about how the NFL draft went

20:38

from a bunch of old dudes

20:41

smoking cigarettes with those Beije phones

20:43

in the seventies and eighties and like crappy

20:45

hotel conference rooms, two

20:48

hundreds of thousands of people AI

20:50

technology. A player gets drafted, he's

20:53

all of a sudden running and they're changing his

20:55

jersey into the team jersey.

20:57

On the video. It's unbelievable.

20:59

The NFL Draft went from

21:01

again nothing to a

21:03

big production that makes millions

21:05

millions and millions watch, and

21:08

dan Byen made the point that maybe in

21:10

the future free agency

21:12

turns into something like that. So what Lebron did

21:14

with the decision? Is it crazy to think

21:16

other athletes hold a press conference or an event

21:18

now where it's like I'm gonna make a choice, We're gonna yeah,

21:21

we'll look back to high school kids. He got such

21:23

unnecessary hate for that. I also

21:25

think there's did all American high school kids line

21:28

up a bunch of hats and they're like, is

21:30

he gonna go to Georgia, Texas?

21:31

Alabama? Sort of ahead of his time on that.

21:33

I don't think a high school kid doesn't. And

21:35

it's, oh, that's cool Lebron did

21:38

it. Both hated guy. What year was

21:40

that? By the way, because I remember watching it and thinking

21:42

it was awesome, Like I think cool.

21:44

I think it's because the city felt

21:46

of Cleveland, of course, felt like he was totally

21:48

dissing them, pulling the rug out from underneath

21:51

of them. Remember people there were burning his jerseys

21:54

and stuff like that. It's that was

21:56

the bad perception from.

21:57

That started it.

21:58

Yeah, I want to feel The

22:00

update, by the way, is Anthony Edwards

22:02

says he wants to avenge Lebron, and

22:05

he says, I have to get Lebron's revenge.

22:08

It's only right. So tell the Nuggets

22:10

I'm coming. So that's the update there.

22:13

So he did post a question on Instagram about

22:15

why does Lebron get all this hate? Let it

22:17

be known that it'll never come from

22:19

him, and now he's avenging

22:22

him. So kind of cool Anthony Edwards

22:24

doing his thing. Let's go ahead, make me feel old.

22:28

The decision presented by

22:30

the lake Ate, Stuart Scott, Michael

22:33

Wilbon, Chris Brussard.

22:35

He was there, John Barry, Jim

22:38

Gray, all on hand in

22:40

Greenwich, Connecticut.

22:41

Yeah, a seventy five minute

22:43

special.

22:44

I mean we were all watching on July

22:46

eighth, twenty ten, fourteen

22:49

years ago. Lebron James took

22:51

the stage when I were doing the show together, and I'll

22:53

be talking about, as he said back then,

22:55

the most famous line, He's going to take his talents

22:58

to South Beach, and he

23:01

then became hated. He went

23:03

from Akron Boy playing for the Calves,

23:05

the future of the NBA to like, look at this

23:08

arrogant I'm making a TV special.

23:13

A free agency has headed.

23:14

There, but not as his goat nests and greatness

23:16

grew. People don't

23:18

like to see guys of his caliber complain

23:23

to officials, flop and do those

23:25

things. He's almost too good for that, and it

23:27

rubs people the wrong way. These are just my assumptions.

23:30

I can't answer that. I don't hate Lebron James. I'm

23:32

actually, like I said, happy

23:35

we got to witness his career. Agreed, now

23:37

listen, we're running late, we're gonna break, We'll come back. But

23:40

I had one more thought about this. You know how,

23:42

there's always someone the first person to do something

23:44

like like like there was one person that decided

23:47

I'm gonna drink milk out of the butter of a cow that

23:50

just happened to work out. There's always

23:52

someone that does something risky or not, like, hey,

23:54

do you think we should eat a meat from that animal?

23:56

Or that that bury on that bush? One guy

23:59

ate it buried dead. There's at least

24:01

one person to do it first. Do you think

24:03

if it was the first guy to drop a what?

24:07

I can't you know what? I can't even say it? No, okay, fine,

24:10

now curious what it is if

24:12

Lebron jasamous Snoop dogg joke.

24:15

If Lebron

24:18

James and the decision in twenty ten would

24:20

have went over amazingly, like everyone's

24:22

like, wow, that was awesome. I bet

24:24

you it would have just been a trend from that day on. I

24:27

think everyone else saw no, nope, not doing that. It was

24:29

how it was handled. I mean, they've made specials

24:31

about it. He made people wait, if

24:33

the whole thing, if that would have went well, every

24:36

other free agent in the major sports afterwards

24:38

would have thought, maybe I should do a special. But because

24:40

it fell flat and looked bad, yeah,

24:43

it was like, no, not doing that.

24:44

Remember how the Calves owner reacted, eh

24:47

lood. He made Lebron his arch enemy

24:49

there for a moment.

24:50

Don't remember. They even parodied it on How I

24:52

Met Your Mother.

24:52

Bonnie Stinson had to pick his new favorite strip club

24:54

and he did the decision Jim Gray. There

24:57

was also a backstory with Jim Gray and the questions.

24:59

It's not coming to mind now, but you know a lot

25:01

of these things along the years rub people the wrong way.

25:04

And maybe Anthony Edwards was too young to

25:06

remember that. Not saying it's fair,

25:08

but he's like he doesn't get it. A lot of people don't

25:10

get it. Why all the unnecessary hate unwarranted?

25:13

27:02

And I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to be around

27:04

to talk a little bit about managerial decisions.

27:06

And what may have occurred to the dugout maybe in the nineteen

27:08

eighties. It's the Book of Joe podcast.

27:11

I can't wait for this, Joe.

27:12

We're going to dive into what goes on in the dugout

27:14

and behind the scenes in.

27:15

Major League Baseball, cars, wind whatever else

27:17

we want to talk about.

27:18

Yeah, well there are no boundaries, right. Listen

27:21

27:23

27:25

27:36

All right,

27:41

a fiesta. I'm

27:43

so pumped for the fiesta this weekend. And

27:45

of course Canelo Mungia and there was some

27:47

fireworks, a heated exchange

27:50

between Canelo and the Golden Boy

27:52

himself earlier today, Oscar

27:54

de la Hoyn. I can't take Canello serious,

27:57

but he gets mad. He started cursing at Oscar

27:59

dell.

27:59

Man, listen to me if

28:01

you want their business.

28:04

Very funny. He starts cursing. It's wild man.

28:06

By the way, I put a poll up on our Instagram

28:08

story at Covino rich.

28:10

Better voice Canelo or mahomes what

28:14

are you doing? What are you doing? Be Boulder a

28:16

slie be Boulder.

28:18

So anyway you got you gotta see it's funny,

28:20

but we can't play it because he starts cursing

28:22

at Oscar, and Oscar

28:24

said, put some damn respect on my name,

28:27

and Canelo was calling him. Also have some Mexican

28:29

curses. Pretty much told Canelo without me,

28:31

you'd be nothing. Yeah. Yeah, watch

28:33

by the way our Instagram story at Covin on Rich, I put

28:35

up a poll. Uh, I wish Sam

28:37

is rocking is saved by the bell throwback

28:40

shirt and I want to know if you think

28:42

get sweet or nope? What a coincident

28:44

dance because I'm wearing my singlet a

28:46

la Ac Slater underneath this perfect

28:49

Yeah. So I'm Covino, that

28:52

is Rich Davis, Iowa

28:54

Sam on the ones and twos with the funny shirt. You

28:56

could be the judge. At Covino and Rich. We

28:58

got Danny g We got Low and chron

29:00

with the updates and spot on the videos getting ready

29:02

for midweek major at Covino

29:05

and Rich. Now, yeah, I was gonna say we got to get to Loan

29:07

Crown's update. But rapid fire, cross fire,

29:12

Let's go Lebron. James

29:14

Anthony Edwards said he gets the most unnecessary

29:16

hate of any athlete ever. Then he said He's going to

29:19

avenge Lebron to watch out Nuggies. Yeah,

29:21

so a simple question, why

29:24

why does everyone not like Lebron?

29:27

D and Florida started off rapid fire. What's

29:29

up, d what's going on?

29:31

Guys?

29:31

What's mean?

29:32

He's Lebron. When you're Tom Brady,

29:34

Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, You're always

29:36

gonna have one group and

29:38

one group who hates you. I don't care if Lebron

29:40

James goes to Mars. I'm

29:42

rooting for the Marsians. He's always been

29:44

my guy, next to Michael Jordan. He's the greatest

29:47

thing that's ever lived.

29:48

Yeah, listen, dude, look at it this way.

29:50

Polarizing people, Howard

29:52

Stern, Joe Rogan, Stephen

29:55

A Smith, Colin Cowhard people. You know, for

29:57

people that are big and good at what they do is

29:59

equal hate always right, Floyd

30:02

Mayweather Junior. I mean

30:04

it's true. Sam Ohio, what's up?

30:06

Sam?

30:06

What's up? Fella's how was going?

30:08

What's up? Why? We asked why Ron gets

30:10

all the hate?

30:11

Listen, man, this started before the decision.

30:14

Remember his mom body my hummer in high school?

30:16

Yes?

30:17

Oh yeah, you want to think

30:19

the kids stole the hummer?

30:21

No, but that was a big story. It cost a lot

30:23

of speculation that wristen guys.

30:25

The great philosopher Charles Barkley said,

30:27

fifty percent of the people gonna love you, fifty percent

30:30

of the people won't hate you. And that's fifty percent only

30:32

gonna hate you because day life's up.

30:34

You know what.

30:34

That's true, As Charles Barkley also said, hindsight

30:37

is whatever. Wayne in South Dakota,

30:39

what's up Wayne.

30:41

It's a couple of things. One, I think it's

30:43

timing. It was many years ago. If he

30:45

did that today, I don't know if it would be as dad.

30:48

And the other thing is I don't need to hear how

30:50

good he is all the time from him.

30:53

His work is good enough.

30:54

He doesn't need to say it.

30:55

Yeah.

30:55

He also embraced the King James and he's

30:58

putting the crown on his head Patricks

31:00

and look, which is all great

31:03

if you love him and you look at

31:05

it from a place of non hatred.

31:07

See, I.

31:09

Like that.

31:10

I do too.

31:10

But I think one of the things that was endearing about

31:12

Michael Jordan he would just shrug his shoulders

31:15

like, I don't know why I'm so great?

31:17

Right, He would never put a crown on his head.

31:19

And again he wasn't as outspoken

31:21

dude, so less to speculate

31:24

on Tony in Miami, what's up

31:26

Tony's good

31:29

on, guys.

31:30

I have to explain this because I'm

31:32

forty two and I work at a gym, and

31:34

there's a lot of teenagers and people

31:36

in college that like, look

31:39

at me, like muck is the really is some gladiator?

31:42

Like why is he the king again?

31:44

Right?

31:45

He's not?

31:47

So I believe it's

31:50

not a politics. I have to disagree with

31:52

one of the earlier callers that he's definitely

31:54

not. The hatred towards Kirby

31:56

Brady is not the

31:58

same. It's different things. There's totally

32:01

different things, and it's nowhere near the

32:03

hatreds at Lebron. Lady will never

32:05

be both bowed at a Super Bowl as

32:07

he you know, when he showed on the Big Train, and

32:10

Kirby, even if he was alive, would

32:12

never get the animosity that Lebron Lebron's

32:15

situation is this. There was a

32:17

kind of a touch in how we

32:21

for fifty years, fifty fifty years and

32:23

I want to go backball in the early

32:26

you know, just class through the seventies and sixties

32:28

and of how we judge players.

32:31

We get to twenty ten and

32:34

this guy thinks he's just gonna

32:36

like pull a teaching out and

32:39

get the same respect. Well,

32:41

there's a bookmark there, and there's receipts.

32:44

And yeah, listen.

32:45

Then Tony when he said

32:47

we're gonna win one, not one, two,

32:50

three or four or five, when he did that whole routine,

32:52

I think that also not.

32:54

Two, not three, not full,

32:56

not five, not six and

33:01

went off, oh boy, yeah, that was

33:03

part of it. I know what.

34:38

day that would happen.

34:40

It's inspiring, you really are. You never

34:42

know what's in store.

34:43

You know the special edition cards where a piece of the

34:45

34:49

Yeah, little mesh

34:51

mesh. Yeah.

34:52

But thank you Isaac for the update. Buddy.

34:54

You know, real one more quick phone call

34:56

that we could wrap this. Matt in New Mexico. To

34:59

wrap up the conversation Lebron James,

35:01

Anthony Edwards said, why is he

35:03

the most hated cheered against athlete

35:06

ever?

35:06

What do you think, Matt, Well, you

35:08

know he kind of steal my thunder there at the end. It

35:10

was not one, not two, not

35:13

three, not four, yeah, not

35:16

four.

35:17

It was that it was how he was one of the

35:19

pioneers of the Super Team, right he

35:21

leaves his team to join Force

35:23

as well, all these superstars has this announcement.

35:26

You know, Jim Gray I remember

35:28

was saying it was insensitive in that documentary.

35:32

It was also the extensive coverage.

35:35

You don't think that when

35:37

you were watching ESPN or

35:39

any barbershop visit and they're debating

35:42

Jordan and Lebron, it just got

35:45

she got excessive. You know, you're like, all

35:47

right, enough enough Lebron coverage

35:50

all the time. And that's coming from guys again

35:53

who all appreciate Lebron. James,

35:55

especially Danny G who's

35:57

a huge Lakers fan. Danny G got

36:00

final words as to why maybe.

36:02

Yeah, I think we covered it pretty well

36:05

on AM five seventy Our La,

36:08

our big LA affiliate yesterday, they were really

36:10

hard on Lebron because they wanted

36:12

him to pick up Jamal Murray at half court there

36:14

on that final play. They're like, if you're

36:16

the star of the team, you gotta go pick up Jamal

36:19

Murray on defense, and they basically

36:21

called him a bum, saying Lebron hasn't done anything

36:23

worthwhile for the Lakers. Completely

36:26

disagree with that.

36:26

Sound.

36:27

Yeah, I don't know if he deserves statues and

36:29

stuff, but yeah, exactly.

36:30

Yeah, I'm not putting a Laker statue out front

36:33

for him, But to say he hasn't done anything

36:35

for the Lakers, that's a bunch of bull.

36:37

Well that's that's been the question this whole

36:39

week is like did he

36:41

underachieve in

36:43

his Lakers experience? So Anthony Edward's

36:46

saying that we need to appreciate his greatness

36:48

and he's going to avenge Lebron moving forward.

Covino and rich on

37:57

Fox Sports Radio Live

38:00

from the tyrack dot com studio. We talk

Lebron. We talked bees

on anyone, b

38:23

Brian Blair and

38:25

jump in. Jim

38:29

Brunzell, look

38:31

at that. I don't mind when I don't know, Like I'll

38:33

admit I really I wouldn't know.

38:35

I wouldn't have got that. But did you hear this?

38:37

We're talking NBA Lebron and how Anthony

38:40

Edwards is going to get his sweet revenge on the

38:42

Nuggets and Yokich.

38:44

Uh.

38:44

Something cool happening in that Sixers

38:48

Nick series?

38:48

Did you see?

38:50

Michael Rubin of Fanatics.

38:53

Of Fanatics said he Josh

38:56

Harris, David Blitzer, and David

38:58

Adelman, who are owners

39:00

of the group that owns the seventy six Ers, have

39:03

bought more than two thousand tickets for Game

39:05

six, and we absolutely cannot

39:07

let Knicks fans take over our arena

39:10

ever again, giving

39:12

them to first responders, healthcare

39:14

professionals, and other local Philadelphia

39:17

based organizations, giving them

39:19

to legit Sixers fans, not imposters.

39:22

Let's go Sixers. We could do this, so, I mean

39:24

they have the money to do that. When

39:26

I said Michael

39:28

Rubin of Fanatics, he owns

39:31

the Jersey company

39:34

the what would you even call it the apparel

39:37

company? He's a shark on Shark

39:39

Tank. Dude has billions. Doesn't

39:41

he throw those huge parties to the white parties where everyone

39:43

wears white.

39:44

Yeah, he's a big time white

39:48

party. What do you mean?

39:49

But yeah, I think that's pretty cool for if you're a Sixers

39:51

fan Philadelphia. You know, I like because

39:54

a lot of times when opposing fans say,

39:56

you know, we're all going to show up, especially when there's two

39:58

cities that are like an hour and a half

40:00

two hours apart, like Philly and New York, you

40:03

could bombard the other stadium. So that

40:06

just makes that series a little more heated up if you asked

40:08

me Philly

40:11

interesting. All right, we

40:13

are going to get to midweek major coming up. We

40:16

are going to get to a Mahomes story,

40:18

and I think Mahomes needs to put fear

40:20

aside. This guy's the greatest athlete

40:23

in the NFL right now, and I think he's being

40:25

a little uh, a little bit of

40:27

a be I'll explain why p

40:33

But I had a question for you, Kabino about

40:36

oh Ozempic.

40:40

That's not it, that's O'Reilly's face.

40:43

O Zempic is always in the

40:45

news because of like

40:47

Iowa, Sam just referenced, ozempic

40:50

face is the new craze

40:52

here in Los Angeles especially. People

40:54

have this gaunt, soulless

40:56

look in their face and it's caused

40:59

by a side of of o zempic.

41:01

Because people lose weight so fast it takes

41:04

takes a minute for your body to catch up, so

41:06

you like a ghoul.

41:07

My mother's coworker lost

41:11

forty pounds like a month.

41:12

Yeah, I mean it works, but yeah, there's

41:14

a lot of side effects too. There's atrophy

41:16

involved. Some people don't bounce back. Sharon

41:20

Osborne has said that she can't gain weight

41:22

back after it.

41:23

People lose, people lose a ton of muscle.

41:25

The nausea is why they're losing weight. You

41:28

throw up anything you try to eat.

41:30

Now, I lost my keys. Wait

41:32

a minute, did a boot just come out a license plate? What do

41:34

you got your stomach? So there's

41:37

an ozempic question I want to ask because

41:39

Covino and I I'm not sure if we're on the same page with this.

41:41

I got a guy, you.

41:43

Think I couldn't lose if I've lost more than ten pounds,

41:45

I look sick.

41:46

Shit.

41:47

If you lose ten pounds in your head. Do you'd look normal.

41:51

I'm six foot and I weigh about one ninety

41:53

if I was any if I was if

41:55

I was anything less than like one to eighty something, I would

41:57

look I one time I lost weight

42:00

to see if I could get abs.

42:03

Everyone's like, are you dying? You sick? Like you

42:05

can't.

42:05

He's amazing, You've us about twenty pounds when you trimmed

42:08

your hair like a normal adult male on your head has

42:10

to have like huge likenings on his hair.

42:13

He used to have like male Gibson called them sidepoofs.

42:15

Yeah, like he had huge Yeah. Rich got

42:17

his first fade within the past few years. So

42:20
