Speaker 2 (02:27):
So I figured between our Patreon show and our Fox
Sports extravaganza, we're trying to sneak in a haircut. And
I was like, you know what, perfect timing noon. I'll
be done by twelve thirty ish. Get over here early,
get some lunch, prep for the show with you. Get
a little Starbucks colbrew, get some pump. I'm in the
barber chair now. I don't know how your barbershop is

(02:51):
or who cuts your hair. I know this is the
places where there's like eight chairs and everyone's chopping it up.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's not how our barber addy is.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
My barber cuts my hair and then he lights it
on fire. You ever see those clips drop social media.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Tops it with an axe.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, I got a really advanced barber. Crazy techniques.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
He uses like you're not talking about Greek flaming cheese.
I don't know if it's an LA thing sam or
on fire.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
He's one of those guys.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
You ever see those guys on social media where they
put all the like the wax up of guy's nose
and like that's what they do, and then they spray
paint my heads Carlos BELTRN style.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Yeah, so like your boy Ryan Holland, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ry Ryan telling him, he said, so, I'm in the
barber chair. Now you my place, Danny g And I
feel like this is more common around the country, and
that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Because we are on the radio all over the country.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know, there's salons and barber shops where every barber
or hairstyles has our own little room. It's like a building,
a facility, and everyone has their own little like office.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Essentially.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Our dude, Addie always watching the NBA. He's got his
own little office. He pays for his own little chair.
You pay for your chair. But it's not it's not
an open space. It's like little rooms. In the middle
of my haircut, some dude just walks in. He's like, hey, Hey,
what's up, guys. I'm thinking, all right, I'm the middle
of getting a haircut. I'm talking about the honestly, I
was talking about the NBA Western Conference and how there

(04:16):
is a four way tie. What is it, The four, five, six,
and seven or something are the same exact record right
now and between the three and eight seed.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Is two games.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
He's a big Clippers fan, pun attended. He's a barber,
but he actually is a Clippers fan, and he says
the clips don't lie, His clips don't lie. Yeah, man,
it's tight obviously, Oklahoma City first place. Rockets fifty two wins,
Lakers forty eight wins, Clippers forty seven wins. Everyone else
has forty seven wins, the Warriors as we speak right now,

(04:47):
the Clips, the Nuggets, the Warriors, and the Grizzlies all
have the same exact record, and the Lakers are only
one game better than those teams. So five games tied,
five teams essentially tied. And this guy's like, hey, what's up, guys?
And I'm thinking, is this another barber coming to say
what's up? Is this his boy? It's a solicitor. He's like, hey,

(05:08):
what's your internet provider? And what's your cell phone plan?
Solicitors could go into a store and start talking to
people while they're working, and this guy would it stopped
after he's trying to talk about, like what do you
have now? He's like, yeah, man, I'm cutting hair. I
got T mobile. He's like, well, let me tell you
about what AT and T is to offer one. This
is extremely rude and intrusive, and so what did you

(05:30):
say and do and then what internet provider do you
guys have here at this place? And my barber's trying
to be all nice, like, oh man, I think we
got like Spectrum and I got T Mobile and.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, so back to the you know the clippers? Can
you you know I went last night? It's not on you.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Your barber Addie, who's great, should have dismissed him immediate
and being like, yeah, man, I'm in the middle of
a haircut doing business right now. You're distracting me. And
if he didn't take it upon himself, you have every
right to repeat these words. Remember two words, and you
could use them for things. I use them multiple times
a day, these two words. It sounds lame, and you

(06:05):
might think of Michael Jackson, but they always work. Beat it, Hey, dude,
beat it.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
What are you doing.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Interrupting my haircut at anyone? Distracting my barber when I'm
getting a haircut is in my way and ruining my
time with the barber.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's given him opportunity to mess up on your hair.
I'm a yappy guy.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't mind chit chat with anyone, but can you
imagine going into a barber shop now in the middle
of a guy cutting someone else's hair and.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Being like, who's your cell phone provider.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And continuing the conversations to the point where I was like,
I said to the guy, go yo, oh, my goy.
I admire your hustle, but pretty uh, you got some
waybots on you to interrupt a haircut.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
That's a job that requires a lot of focus too. Me.
You imagine a solicitor coming into a checkup room at
your doctor's like, what are you doing?

Speaker 7 (06:49):
Man?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
By the way, it's a two way street. Dad happened
to me once at the proctologist.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I don't know, but it's a two way street. Meaning
a barber who takes pride in their work. They don't
like when you're in the chair and you're turning your
head to talk to somebody else. They don't like that
because then they'll mess up and they have to deal
with it. And like I said, pride in their work.
But at the same time, when you're getting your haircut,
two way street. You don't want the barber to keep
talking to the other barber or someone else's talking about

(07:16):
the game. You don't want someone else taking their attention away, Yeah,
from your head sculpting.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
I had somebody try to chit chat with my tattoo artists. Yeah,
even more permanent. Yeah, please focus, No, you mean mug
the guy. You say, hey, respectfully, you're distracting my moment here.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's not appropriate, and there's ethics involved. And I feel
like this kid way across the line, Danny's. That's why Danny's. Danny,
she's tattooed. Doesn't say Kobe, it says co Ebb. He
mixed up to be and the e no un lets
be real. Yeah, it's not a tattoo Danny G. But
people take their haircuts seriously. Wait a second, Kobe wasn't
Jersey nine? No, yeah, exactly what I just I want

(07:58):
to throw it out there. We're gonna get it to
the NBA. But I know everyone listening, there's enough distraction,
no games on at the barber show. You know the
culture of a barber shop, but when you get your haircut,
no one wants distractions. I just thought it was the
way most on this guy to start trying to sell
cell phone plans to my barber mid haircut. And then
I even said to the guy, I told him, like, man, pretty, uh,

(08:19):
I admire your hut in the most.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
In his defense, there was no sign that said no soliciting,
so I guess he had every sign.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You gotta have the sign sign.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I then said, you better at least uh got this
guy cut your hair. You better sign up for a
haircut if you're gonna bother him. Two words, rich, beat it,
beat it, beat it, dude. Can I something actually similar
to me happened last week. I was napping and I
think I woke up late. The sun was already down.
It was like seven point thirty, and I get an
my doorbell rings. I live in an apartment and not

(08:48):
a lot of apartments have doorbells. But I was like, huh,
jolted awake, I'm all groggy. I opened the door and
picture you jumping up like Cramer when you just oh,
totally hair shaking, all everything. So I opened the door
and I'm I'm like hello, and it's a guy trying
to sell me a Verizon Internet plan. Yeah, it's intrusive,
and I was so and I gotta respect the guy
because it's a tough job doing, being like door to
door salesman. It's not a thing you see a lot

(09:09):
these days. He's a very nice young man and He
started asking me hard hitting questions and he was right,
I pay way too much your internet. Now, after like
five years with his one company, he had a better
price for me. But I was so groggy and out
of it that I was.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Like, uh like, I answered a few of his questions
and I was just like, I gotta go, and then
I just closed the door awkwardly.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
It was so awkward.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I get it, you don't want to be rude, but
it's still not okay. It's when people call you when
you're at work because they're trying to sell you some nonsense.
You know, someone I'll throw FaceTime in there. I feel
like that's intrusive too. It's like, yo, dude, beat it.
And when someone goes to your apartment or condo complex
that's a hall the ball game, or to your home
up to your personal space, your driveway, especially if you

(09:50):
have kids and you got some stranger walking into your
your property because he's trying to sell you some nonsense.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Kid out of my face. I had a good deal
for me, So I was like, that is a point
I actually should swell.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Then that's on you and then call them up. You
know you don't actually work. You knew that guy bothering
you when you're.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Taking a nap. I was like, but here's the deal.
We forget that it wasn't long ago that everyone knew someone.
It could have been your uncle, your neighbor. There were
people that were door to door salesman. That's what people did.
They sold the oh vacuums.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
I'm a door to door sales It's alarming now, Rich,
it's not as common as it used to be. Yeah,
I get it. The Avon lady would be there hanging
out with your mom. You thought that that woman was
your mom's friend. Someone was selling.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Avon calling it was like their little jingle cutcode. Dude
was there. You're a new phone planned guy? Yeah, ws
trying to sell you those TV dinners.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Jehovah's witnessed person like that happened all the time. It's
few and far between now, so that's why it's alarming.
And poor Sam almost had a heart attack.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
You need your skin so soft to the mosquitoes.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
But no, just just a reminder that it wasn't long
ago that we were used to people knocking on our
door and we were okay with it.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Door to door salesman that was the thing. Now it's rude.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Someone's trying to sell you a solar or pest control.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
You can't justify it, dude, if you were getting a massage,
this guy walked in and just to give him a pitch.
That's on your time, on a service you're paying for.
It is distracting the barber or the messeuse or whatever.
That's just inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
We can move on.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, to the NBA now, which is what I was
talking to my barber about when I was interrupted by
this guy.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
And it's so sorry, it really I had to.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Bring it up only because I needed affirmation in the
room that I wasn't losing my mind.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Because I'm not a picky guy with that type of stuff.
I get it.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
But I found it very odd that mid haircut, some
guy thought my barber's attention should be on his cell phone, plants,
this guy's he's got the clippers, trying to give me
just the right fade.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
And this guy's like, how about you're paying it monthly?
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:44):
I mean I guess, yeah, you do commend the hustle,
but not on your time, not on your west.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Well, while I was talking about barber, it was about
the Western Conference. And as I said, after all this time,
we're less than a week away into the NBA playoffs
and the Lakers and Clippers one game apart, the Golden
State Warriors, the Denver Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers, Memphis, and Minnesota's

(12:10):
only one game behind them. It is tighter, like you said,
than a pair of skinny jeans in the two thousands.
But last night was a game.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Tighter than yours medium shirts that used to get at
Express Men's medium.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, you're tight, well T shirts used to wear. And
I got a gap kids.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
The Lakers, they got the three seed, their game up
on all these teams, but you know, maybe they could
have been two games up.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
There was a close game last night in OKC, and
it was close. There was a I mean there was.
It was. It was a one point game.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Luca drives to the basket, makes a pretty damn good
shot in traffic, and then you see him like it
appears to be barking towards the sideline, so towards the
bench to the crowd.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
Perhaps he put them up to one oh seven at that.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Point, and all of a sudden whistle blows he gets
teed up up second, one out, and you see the
Lakers and JJ Reddick looking like, what did Lebron help
him plead the case? He's saying he barked at a fan,
the ref seemed like he was fed up. What is

(13:16):
your initial take? Is your initial take that when the
refs and officials, their ego gets in the way where
getting it right takes a backseat to their feelings.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
We often take like one side when it comes to
sports talk radio especially, but the truth is there's more
than one side to this, right because I do see like, hey,
you know, the fans aren't here to see the ref
throw out the biggest star in the game. That's not
where you're paying crazy amounts of money to see, especially
when you got kids there and they're like, oh, Luca,

(13:46):
especially in a meaningful game.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
And this game that matters. You've seen this in.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Baseball as well, where like a Bryce Harper, a star player,
you know, might get a little chippy and the umpire,
but at the same time, you have to have to
wear with the as a superstar to know that you're
one call away from being out of the game. So
you know, you got to acknowledge that too, and you're
gonna let as Ben Maller said, your boy Ben Maller
went off on Luca DANNYG. I know it's your boy too.

(14:12):
I must be weird because Dannyg's the biggest Lakers fan
and Ben Maller hates on Lakers and they're good.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yeah, we talk about it on the Fifth Hour podcast
every weekend, but I laugh about it because Ben just
has a very unhealthy infatuation with the Lakers. He is
definitely a closet Lakers fan.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
He was like, Luca is a baby who's crying and
thrown out of the game because some guy in a
Bolo tie got under his baby's skin.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
You're gonna let a guy wearing a Bolo tie in
his stand And it's so true.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
It's like, yes, I hate that the refs threw him
out of the game, meaningful game.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
People are there to see him, not you. But come on, dude,
you gotta be better than that.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
I understand.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
I understand that point, and Adam had he gotten into
it with that ref right there, I could understand that.
But as a player, if you're responding to a fan
that's been chirping at you in your mind, are you
thinking I'm gonna get a tech for this.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
No, but he's clearly rubbing the referees wrong.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Right.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's not his first time that he's having a problem
or trying to the refs. And my point here is
simply that two things could be true, and I think
there's a little truth to both of those things. Rich
your take where the refs, you know they're going a
little over.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
There when a ref or an official or an umpire
makes it about them and their feelings being hurt.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Are you overstepped? That's not the point. You're there to
officiate the game.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
The game is still about the fans going there to
see the star players and the game be played. And
I think there's a pride in letting something be overturned.
I remember there was a play at a Yankees game.
You remember this clearly. I'm sure you're a Yankees fan.
Aaron Boone was chirping at the umpire and the umpires
like one more worn out of you, Boonie out of here.

(16:01):
One pitch later, someone in the stands is like, can't
fall boo. The umpire turns around, He's like, boom out.
He didn't say a word, and he readed a ventriloquist.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
He threw his voice like the fan threw his voice
at boon and then they just imagine that.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
John Boy breakdown and Boonie's saying that I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything, and he comes storm out of
the dugout. And here's the other side, Rich, that you
and I talked about earlier.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
To wrap up that point, though, I think you have
to be able to then maybe correct yourself if there
was evidence in any fashion that all right, let's go.
You know, they replay fouls, they replay things. What if
they go, you know, let me take a look at
the tape. If Luca, if you if Lebron and JJ
Redick AND's like, no, ref you got it wrong.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I promise you.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Why does it have to be like a final calling
stone and not judge Judy.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
They're not the judge declaring stone.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
And that well known OKC fan admitted they talked to
him after the game and he admitted that, yeah, Luca
was chirping back at me and the refs could have
got that mistaken, but he was talking to me.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
That's wild.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
And by the way, I was saying, you said, you
have Lebron and Luca talking about this after the game.
Where do we want to start you want to do,
Let's start with Luca himself.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
You can see it that happened.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
But you know, I never got a friend of Jackson, never,
But if he's gonna talk, I'm going to talk back
in Nick Holy so that they had nothing to do
with the ref So I didn't real didn' understand.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
He didn't understand it had nothing to do with the
refs in here is Lebron James.

Speaker 7 (17:29):
It was a weird we're we're a couple of minutes
after that, starting with the rejection, I don't know why
the ref was taking it personal. He had already gave
Luca one and Luca knew that. And uh, Luca was
going back and forth at that time with the fan
that was sitting for sight like Luca does, and fans
get to talk to talk out of their mind, whatever
the tas may be. And he was going back or
forth in the rep took it upon himself to think

(17:52):
it was you know, verse him or whatever.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
The case may be.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
But then another tea on Vando after a block shot,
and the game just which is weird a tailor after.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
That moment weird as hell.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, but you can't fly off the handle all the time,
and you don't want that sort of reputation to be
with you in these crucial moments. And there is the
flip side to the story too, where As I gave
credit to him before the great Ben Mallor, we are
now starting to see why Nico Harrison made the right move,
you know, because he's saying he's uncoachable baby. But again,

(18:29):
your reputation sometimes precedes yourself. And I think if he
wasn't crying all the time and rubbing the reps wrong,
they wouldn't have been quick to toss him.

Speaker 9 (18:39):
I'm with Cavino on this because he wouldn't have got
tossed if he didn't have the first technical. It only
would have been his first technical of the game. It
was because it was the second one that he got tossed.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
By the way.

Speaker 9 (18:50):
Dave McManamon covers the NBA and the Lakers for ESPN
reports that the NBA has notified the Lakers they've rescinded
the second technical against Luca from last night's game.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah right, yeah, And I'm glad dB pointed to that
first tea because it's it's telling what Van Doo said
about it. He said that he thought he got fouled.
This This was when Luca was arguing about Vando getting
fouled on that first tea. He says, I did get
slapped across the head. That's what Luca was telling the ref.
He told him what happened, and the ref told Luca,

(19:25):
I'll talk to anybody but you Luca. So it seemed
a little personal at that point, and he teed him up.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
So you're saying the NBA has said we take it back.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
The second day, the second one, to quote.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
The great Robbie Hart, that's information I could have used
yesterday later. Can we go back to the fourth quarter then?

Speaker 9 (19:47):
But I think Gavino's point is still true though, Like
just if it's followed him everywhere, obviously followed him from
Dallas to l A, you gott to tone it down
a little bit because otherwise you get caught in these
situations where you do chirp and people think like the
reputation preceded.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Him in this situation.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, and two things can be true.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Rich.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
I do agree that the refs they get on a
power trip sometimes and it's annoying for the fans, and
it's annoying as a basketball fan because you don't get
to see the true outcome of the game. It's a
meaningful game. So I see all the sides here. Two
things can be true. We often take one side here
when it comes to sports talk.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Could I throw a fun ref umpire nugget in here?
There there was a trend that maybe began, which is
why they shut it down immediately in spring training this
year before the MLB season kicked off.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
What were they sampling in the preseason in the in
spring training? Oh, the strike's on call, right, you can
challenging the strike your helmet.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
They made it very clear that if you do that
in the regular season, it's a sneak diss at the
ump So, like, let's say Aaron Judges like that was outside,
even though it doesn't matter if he jokingly, he's like.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Tap tap, that is automatic.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
That's like equally being mouthye like, because you're showing up
the umpire doing the little tap of your helmet is
your subconscious way of being like BS. Well, even on
the lowest of levels you coach pony league baseball and
girls softball, isn't there an unwritten rule where a parent
can't talk back to the umpire, not even a word?

(21:27):
So on the lowest of levels, if the kids know
and the parents know, everybody knows, and the lowest of
levels that it is what it is. No, you can't
even do it when Luke already has one on him.
He has to zip it up a little bit in
these crucial moments. You know, it's even que learning lesson
moving forward. There was a warning email that went out
is this can't just be the you know, the kids
sports I coach.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
There was a warning to the parents and the.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Coaches that if a ball is called, you can't even
be like like, don't worry Sophia, a great pitch, Like.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
You can't even zero Tolawrence thing right.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
You can't even insinuate like do that again, honey, that
would like that was a strike, like you you cannot
even insinuate that the umpire got it wrong in kids sports.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
So if you just joined us, Rich is saying that
the ref's ego, that's what he said in the pre
show meeting.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
The ref's ego killed a great game. Yeah, the ego.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
At the same time, you have to acknowledge that Luca's
reputation may have preceded himself here in this situation.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
As you said, I.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Agree with you multiple things, multiple things can be right
at the same time, and I think that there's nothing
wrong with getting it right. That's why replay has entered
the world of sports, basketball, baseball, NFL, college football, everything,
because we want to get it right correct, don't.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
We want to get the call right.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
So in that instance, if everyone on that Lakers bench,
including the victim himself, Luca was like, I'm telling you
you got it wrong.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
What is the harm?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Sometimes you see him at that scorer's table for a
minute or so looking if a ball's inbound that it
goes off of someone. You couldn't have taken the thirty
seconds to look who Luca was addressing.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know, there's one hundred cameras.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
All right, So your feed on your phone calls plus
midweek major we have a lot to get to here

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Luca throws up an eight foot or cut and the
Lakers lead one O eight one oh seven.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh look at this not thrown out why he was talking.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
He was talking trash to a fan and the REFI
thought he was talking to him.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Oh, this is an absolutely horrible.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Decision by JT or by the official.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Absolutely horrible.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
You cannot throw a star player out.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Of an NBA game.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
For talking to a reffe thought he was talking to him.
Oh my gosh, this is unconscionable.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
You cannot do this in a game that's this good.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
This is one of the worst pieces of officiating I
have ever seen, and I've.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Done this for twenty five years. I hate this call,
and I would.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Say the same thing if they were doing it to shame.
You cannot, Michael throw a star player out of.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
The game for talking to a fan.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
He didn't think he was talking to the fans.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I don't care thought he was talking to him. That's
why he threw look out.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
They had three Lakers explain it to him, and he
still stuck choice guns because his ego is bigger than
lucasting in the game.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
That's courtesy of the Lakers audio network. We Are Cavino
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
No Ireland said, like he got the enthusiasm is like, oh,
the humanity, like with the Hindenburgers.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah, they don't usually hear him that fired.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, you ever hear the boxing answer?

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Moro Ronaldo unbelievable. This is a travesty. No really, man,
that's a wild one. And like we said, two things
can be true.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
But oh Luca's crying.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Is he a sports baby or was it legit? Did
the refs overstep? Both could be true, but man, he's
getting beat down today. Like I said before, Ben Maller
here on Fox Sports Radio calling him us he's a
spoiled brat.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Cite another host, because we know Ben Mallin.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Mad Dog.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Cut In, impossible to root for, impossible.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
To root What what he says about Luca could also
apply to Mad Dog Russo impossible.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Man.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
You definitely don't want to see the reps to home
out in that moment as well, and the Lakers go
down and a big night for Luca today. They're handing
out thank you Luca t shirts and again his return
to see his as Lucas said at the press conference,
his teammates, I mean my ex teammates.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I have thoughts about that. Would you want to thank
you Lucas shirt?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, it's his return to Dallas, and it's going to
be a very overwhelming emotional night. I think that's a
teacher Luca once again.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Well, those MAVs fans were hotter than hornets when Luca left.
They're still upset Rich.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
But I mean like, I feel like that's the show
you end up washing your car with or something like that.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
So do you blame the ref's ego or do you
blame Luca? That's the question of the day. Hit us
up at Covino and Rich and we'll still take your
phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
In fact, we have people that want to chime in
on door to door sales folks.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
As I told you, I was getting a haircut today.
In the middle, in the middle of getting my hair done,
barber's got the clippers doing the precision fade, some clipper.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Work, maybe respectfully.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
The salesman saw the size of your head and was like, well,
I can't wait another three hours.

talk about Costco and Sam's Club and all that, and
they've been really badly lately with those phone sales people.
And I have to tell my wife that make sure
you tell them that we have the most upgraded technology
and yes we're what's their planners? So I wish they
would go away to no solicitation at those stores.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
You know what I did the other day, I was
I was so embarrassed. I was at Costco, Thank you buddy.
And you know they do the samples and you do
the fake enthusiasm like.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
No, this is good?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
How much are these? I just like a weird instinct
to look fake in interested, especially at the mall. You're
like bourbon chicken, what's that? Love to have? Hans never
had one? Sure?

Speaker 2 (28:47):
And oh the pretzel I've had five thousand times. Can
I get a sample?

Speaker 8 (28:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Never had have to send him in tasty pretz.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Well, you have to do the fake interest, almost like
when someone asked you, I do you have a pen,
and you know you don't.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
You do the weird check like, oh no, I you
check you you check your pockets? Damn well, moment you
don't have a pen. Orange chicken. What's that? What is this?
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
They must have been getting rid of like bread that
was almost expiring. One of the handouts at Costco was
simply bread with like a garblic butterspread on it. And
I go mmm, and my wife goes it' you just
it's bread like you Now you're.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
Now It's Cavino Enriched live from The tiraq Dot com.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Studio we've talked a lot About.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Luca it's amazing to, see LIKE i happen to find
my personal Opinion luca to be an amazing basketball player
and so. Likable that's HOW i view, Him and then
it's amazing to see how other people view him as
nothing but a cry baby sports. Baby AND i really
think that a lot of it comes FROM i just
don't like The, Lakers that's really, it BECAUSE i never

(38:19):
really heard that much cry baby hatred Towards luca. Before you're,
right all, Right so be aware of what we're saying
here on The cavino And rich. Show we're professional social
observationalists or. Something there's stats of my business, cards So,
DANNY i, Said Radio, Tycoon, yes but underneath it says.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Observation he has horns on the front of his car
like a boss.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Hog But i'm telling you it's the awareness theory because
you'll see how many people are, like all of a,
Sudden luca's the biggest crime baby that ever.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
WAS i thought that Was.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Lebron wait Aboute how could he be the biggest crime
baby if his teammates the biggest. Crid i'm looking at
The Western conference and not the harp on. It but
we did talk about How lakers at the three seed
are one game better than one, two, three four Teams, Clippers,
Nuggets Golden state and The grizzlies are all one game
behind The, lakers and then the eight, seed The Minnesota,

(39:12):
timberwolves and then the nine and. Ten here's where, LISTEN
i get. It we like the extra playing. Game it's,
FUN i, Suppose but right, now to, Me, danny it's
very clear there's eight teams in The west that deserve.
It sacramento And dallas are under five. Hundred call to.
DAY i, mean if one of those teams.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
You saw that to, ad who's going to be balling
his heart? Out, no, no he.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Will but once we get those playing games next. WEEK i, mean,
honestly look at that right. There minnesota at the eighth
seed is only two games behind The lakers in the three.
Seed sacramento And dallas have no.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
Business don't Forget sacramento is just a year removed from
being a powerful team in The.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
WEST i, REMEMBER i, remember like the, meme we love
that a year.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Ago BUT i don't know The Eastern, conference the fact
that the whole playing, round the, seven, eight, nine, ten
are all under five. Hundred could he just skip around
to the next? ROUNDS i, mean we all know THE
nba playoffs takes forever to begin. WITH i think it's
very clear there's a lot of teams in it to win,
it but, seven, eight, nine ten the bottom get them?

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Out, well you know what rich next hour not only Midweek,
major but speaking of THE, nba we're gonna talk about
a Former San Antonio spurs legend if we have, time
because the show's moving, fast.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
But he can only talking about dire wolves or. WHAT
i don't.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Know, NO i you, know we're talking about dire wolves
in a. Second but FIRST i just throw something by.
You it's a theory THAT.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I feel like some.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
People would be, like you have nothing role with, that
and other people are going to, say this is a sports,
crime and this has to do with being a city.
Guy Rick, Patino Saint john's always A New york, guy,
Right and he talks about. It and they asked him, about,
wait do you have A Mets yankees? Fan because he showed.
Up he showed up at A mets event And, sam

(41:06):
we'll play the sound next. Hour he sort of describes
how he's A mets And yankees, fan and my first
instinct is it can't be A mets And yankees. Fan
can you be A lakers And clippers? Fan if you're In?
CHICAGO i Remember Sebastian maniscalco recently got crap of.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
This, sebastian how can you do?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
That he threw out the first pitch of The cubs,
game and those old school buddies were.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Like, yea, bro you're a White sox.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Guy, wait he's a White sox. Guy aren't you a bas.
SO i, MEAN i think you still take the honor
