Don't forget coming up last call in case you can
get in. It was a topic you still wanted to hit.
You couldn't get there, so we have a lot to
do and cover. And as Kevin and Monty have told
(01:10):
you the halftime, the Lakers up by three and Luca's
got thirty one points and all that kind of stuff,
and there were tears and balloons and confetti and all that.
I guess I'm just saying yeah, And the bottom line is,
given how great a player he is, I'm gonna say
this straight up.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Kelvin, He's hard to root for, Luca. He just is.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He's a hard watch. He complains too much. It takes
away from his talent. He wants a foul called on
every single play.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I can't watch the dude.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It why he's so good, he's so talented. He's a
cry baby. Does that not bother you?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It bothers me?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And I don't think I'm the only one. No, I
don't think I have no I have no horse in
this race.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I really I don't. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
You thought I care. If to, he would have won
the championship last year with the Mavericks. No, I wasn't
rooting against him or anything. I'm just saying he's hard
to root four. Not about rooting against him, like I
don't want to see him win or something. I already
recognize how good of a player he is, and his
stature and what he's accomplished in such as such a
(02:28):
young age five All First Team NBA. I mean five, right,
twenty five years old, like incredible, But there's something about
him that rubs me the wrong way, and and and
and and I just when I watch him, it's.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Hard to watch. I can understand that. I think you're
not alone. I think a lot of people that would
be the flaw or the thing. You know, it's not
his game obviously off He's got Dagner forty points already,
Uh in this game. We all know what he's capable
of. If he had seven any points? Was it last year?
So he is just remarkable. Five times All NBA First
Team and you're twenty five, twenty six years old, Well,
we know who you are. The issue is, to me,
(03:11):
it is similar to a lot of Lebron people call
the flop you know he's been. They call him the
flopper or the complaining you know, or complaining for calls
as well.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Throughout his career.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The main reason why I have an issue with this
for Luca is because it's not as if he complained
about a call during dead balls. It's not if he
complained about calls hey after a game. It's not if
he complained once or twice throughout the game. But you know,
the game was still slow. The other team was coming
back slowly. My big issue is that he does it,
and oftentimes is that his team's demise because he does
(03:39):
it and he doesn't get back right.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
He's yelling at the ref.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Now that's five on four and he's still not getting back,
and he's getting back slow. I don't like that. I
don't like that. You're getting texts and you're hurting us
at bad times. Allah yesterday and again he was yelling
at Fanning, but the ref had patsd. He saw Luca
and said, oh, you must be cussing me out because
this is what he does, and he kicked him out
the game and the ref was wrong, but that became
the reputation.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
So my thing is not let your.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Reputation precedes you. That's exactly why that happened.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
He turned around, he saw Luca, just like if he
to turn around and saw Rashid Wallace. You know that
you covered him for all those years in Detroit. Just
like they turn around, they say Draymond, just like they
turn around they saw Ron our Test aka Meta. There's
just certain guys that end up have Steven Jackson for
a while. There's certain guys that just turn around the
oh you get a rep, you get a tech and
they're and they're maybe more judicious, uh or nor nuanced
(04:28):
with other players. That's his reputation. He complains, he cries,
and he you know, he doesn't get back, and that's
the thing that hurts me. But here's the thing. If
you're the Mavericks, I mean here, I am living in
six months ago. If you're the Lakers, now he's their
problem in this regard. If you're the Lakers, if you
are the team that has a great player, it's one
(04:48):
of those things you're gonna have to chalk it up
as because no human is perfect. You got Lebron, well,
you might have to worry about him flopping or at
this point obviously last five six years, maybe he's playing
a little old lady. But dang, and I got Lebron, right,
I got Kobe. Maybe he's a little too maniacal, punching
teammates on the plane literally and he's just too crazy.
And maybe even turn some free agency, cause I want
(05:10):
to play with that guy. He shoot too many shots.
He turned some off. They wouldn't Nobody came none to
play with. Nobody wanted to play with Kobe that exact
nobody wanted to play with him.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Why Howard gave up thirty million dollars not to stay
in lost hen exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So I bet you he want that money back. Yeah, well,
of course he's trying to. He been trying to get
back with the Lakers ever since. But my point is,
as I look everything you say, I totally get it.
But it's one of those things where I really thought
about this. I'm like, man, every player is flawed. Steph
Curry came in with bad ankles, and he's always the
guy for a long a lot of years, especially all
those battles against the Cleveland Cavaliers where the team would
(05:44):
seek out they try to hide him fro Kyrie. They
just set a pick so he has the guy career,
hide him from Lebron. They just set a pick so
that he's an owl on Lebron. And so that's just
one of his flaws. He had bad ankles, he was
injury prone the first half of his career, and then
he's just not great defensively and so on and so forth.
You know, Shaq couldn't make free throw like and so
this is just the thing. I get that, and I
guess what you're.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Saying, you can change that about watching a guy who's
a cry baby who's so talented. It ain't like he's
crying for fouls and he's averaging nine points because you know, like.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
He's like, help me out, let me just get to ten.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But it's every call, That's what I'm trying to say.
It ain't even like once in a while.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It's like every call and and I get never satisfied.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And the problem with it, Rob is he's probably been
doing this since he was what eleven, twelve years old, thirteen,
I think he started playing in the pros, So I
think this has literally been what he's done and it's working,
you know, and it maybe again, the popularity of the
game in Europe isn't quite like ours because ours is global, Uh,
theirs isn't as global. Obviously, the way in which they
go about it may be different. We already know how
(06:48):
physical they are, so I just think there may be
certain emen they they got. The guys are smoking on
the bench like it's just a it's just a different game,
and maybe he's not accustomed to that. But again, I
hate it from himf I'm his teammate, bro. Yeah, can
you get back because it's five or four right now. Bruh,
what Luca? You got kicked out this game? You on
fire right now with kidding. We about to beat the
Oklahoma City then Thunder two games in a row, and
(07:10):
now you kicked out. So if I'm his teammate, it
drives me crazy. But I really mean this when I
say it's like Steph Curry. I know he goes home
some nights to Alicia, Hey, baby, how was the game.
I was busy with the kids and in my new restaurant,
and he just looks at us and said, Babe, Draymond
did it again.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And she knows what that meant.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Draymond and kicked somebody, then stepped on somebody and punched
somebody and elbowed somebody, and probably they have a laugh,
they have a glass of wine, they get ticked off, whatever.
But at the end of the day, you're like, that's
just my guy. And I think if you're now Lebron,
if you're now Austin Reeves, if you're not JJ Reddick,
you go and you might have to go get a massage,
You might have to woo saw, you might have to
do whatever you do to ease up the pain and
(07:48):
the annoyance because you probably sitting there want to strangle
Lucas some knights. But I just think that's part of
his thing, because every guy has a thing. Kawhi says, man,
you are great, but Kah you injured all the time.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
But the only difference is with Kawhi and the injuries.
I don't dislike or find it hard. I'm disappointed. I
tell you where you get healthy, but right, But I
don't look at that. I don't look at the same
thing as that, because I do believe he's heard I do.
I don't believe he's sitting out just to sit out.
I believe he's I think he put a little extra
(08:21):
sauce on it. Manci that's agrees. That's her team that
won two championship. Do not question you don't great.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I think he is.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I don't question him at all when he plays. He's
one of the best players out.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I just don't. And I think that he really had and.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
What was going on with the Spurs down there and
they're medical people and uh, and I think he's been
proven right with all the time and all the injuries
that he's had that he had.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
But I'm saying that's an issue with him.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And also maybe you wanted somebody as an organization to
have more personality so we can have a superstar in.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I think what I think what we're talking about is different.
I'm talking about looking at a guy who to me
appears to be a cry a cry baby. For me
to rally around or look at a guy who's a
cry baby.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I'm gonna tell you one more reason why I can
not throw the baby out with the bath water.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I get it. I told you, I get it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I'm going home get him size wusan get mad at
him if I'm a teammate some nights. But the only
other reason why I'd be like I just gotta chalk
it up is because one thing we never questioned. And
I think one of the reasons why, like you know,
people say the culture rocks with Luca is because Luca
got some gangster, some swag. He gonna talk to almost
have fault something like getting technicals, because he's gonna, let
(09:38):
you know, he's gonna talk smack hit that shot out
of Rudy Gobert. You can't mother love and guard me.
I mean, He's just that type of guy. So to me,
it would be different. He was a win or complainer
and he wasn't passionate, and gosh from him, I know
he cares. I know he wants to win. I know
he's passionate. I know he's fired up. So that again
is why I have to go. I just gotta talk
(10:00):
this up. But everything you said, I get it. And
it's gonna cost your team at times. It's gonna cost
you a couple of players on a fast break. It
even costs you some frustration. But I'm like, if you're
building a player on NBA two K, nobody has ninety
nine ninety nine ninety nine attributes like that on the Sliders,
everybody has a.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, but they're also there's issues.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'm just saying, like, what you're talking about defensively could
wind up coming back to bite.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You because he's so caught up in the officials and
all that other stuff. You want a guy to be focused.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
You don't want to be playing, uh, you know, undermanned
or down a man because he's back one thing, you
fall down in your ankle hurts, but you're just did
dawn at an official and and enough, how many points
do you want to score? You got fifty tonight and
you're still dawing at the like that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It ain't like he's a nine poles on.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Fifty five Rob and those are five free throws they
robbed me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Of exactly every single time. I mean, I don't know,
he's not on my list as somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You don't want to call it the call it the
Rob Parker can get a credential any game. We know
that because they've been covering the lakes is nineteen eighty seven.
I'll get it out the way for you, but we'll
call it the Is Luca a guy you want to
pay money for it? Like, hey, I want to go
pay I'm paying my one hundred and fifty bucks to
go to the Laker game, and now I want to go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I get his talent is unquestioned.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
It's just his demeanor and the way he plays, and
the emphasis on paying attention to the officials, Like that's who,
that's who.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You don't want to be paying attention to play ball?
Stop with the officials.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Maybe that's why you know his team hasn't won yet,
or he hasn't won an MVP yet or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
You know what I mean, Like, he's so talented I
just don't remember great.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I don't remember Michael Jordan, those guys worrying about an
official all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
With that, I'm talking about the great, the only last thing.
And and bo tell me if you feel me on
this bow.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Is.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I think we have so much access to everything now
that when I go back and watch, you know, I'm
watching Celtic City. I watched documentaries and I'm a nut
on documentary, documentary sports. When you got me at documentary,
I'm in. We forget. Dudes did cry way more than
we remember. Dudes cry cry.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You show me Michael Jordan crying on every play.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He ain't Luca lev I'll give you that. But dudes
cry way more than we remember. We just didn't see
it because everything wasn't nationally televised or put on our
social media. You just didn't see a random Tuesday night
of Boston with Larry Birr.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
You didn't see.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Random night after night a lot. And I'm telling you
just from being at their arena. And and there was
a coach, Gary Saint Jean, and he used to do
he was the Nets assistant coach, went to UH to
the Warriors, and he used to he used to say
are you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Blink blinking me every single call?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
And I remember him, but I just don't remember players
like constantly. And I'm saying like, it's just a turnoff play, dude,
Why are you focused on the officials? Yeah, they make
a call on a big play. You should have an
and one to tie the game. Should you say something
or something that's obvious? You know what I mean in
(13:19):
a situation, Hey, I'm a start on this league. I
should be able to get that call. But you won't
get that call when when you're bellyaching about every call.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Well leave it right there.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Luca, you like
the aesthetics of him playing off the times he's gonna
complain oftentimes it's gonna you know, not get back on
deal or as you just chalking up talking to the game.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You know, it's just part of the game.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We're coming to you live from the tire Rack dot
Com studios, and we're talking.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
About Luca Man. I mean, Rob brought up a point
A lot of people bring up watching Luca.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You realize how spectacular He's almost got forty already right
now in this game.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
He's just great, five time All NBA. We know the stats,
we know everything.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
But people do get upset that he complains a lot,
he falls, he's yelling at refs, he doesn't get back
on defense. So how do you handle that? Is it
ruin your entertainment value watching him? Do you just chalk
it up as hey, it is what it is, It's
part of his flaw? Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox take some calls. We'll go to uh Dwight and Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Dwight.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
You're on with the Odd Couple, Fox Sports Radio. Dwight,
what you got, Dwight?
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Go ahead? Brother, start over, go ahead, I said, what's happening?
How y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Good? Man?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Great?
Speaker 8 (15:00):
Okay, I'm good. Say when I asked the question, no,
I couldn't. I can't pay to see Luca. But I'm
such a Lebron James and Lakers plan, I still have
to pay anyway to see you. But then, okay, Rob,
I was thinking when you was you describing him? I
was great with everything you're saying, But I feel like
a better word to describe Luca. Man, It's like to me,
I feel like he's playing with a sense of entitlement.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
That's a great one, but that's a great I know
I'm saying he's a baby because he's always complaining, but
like he's so good that nobody can defend him and
everybody fouls him on every play, and the sent of
entitlement that he deserves every call.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
All right, right, exactly, all right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Hey, do I appreciate the call? D I said, I'm
gonna have to pay for the game anyway. I'm a
big Laker Lebron fan.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
So ninety nine on Fox right number.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Eight seven seven niney nine one Fox, So go to
uh is it Jam in West Virginia? Yeah, Jam, all right, man,
you're at the out couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Hey man, I love you guys, show man.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I just want to throw you know. I'm I'm that guy,
you know, I'm that sports.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
Fan that likes that little bit of controversy. You know,
when when the Yankees and Red Sox get together and
Pedro Song coaches all over.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
The field and stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
I mean those are things I remember, you know, and
Luca Fault in that category. Who wants to watch a
basketball games just up and down the court all time?
I mean, I like a little bit of controversy. I
don't want to see nobody get hurt, you know, but
I want an ASCAR to see if somebody rolls a
two hundred nine iron car over on its head, you
know what I mean. I don't want to see nobody
get hurt. But but those things that happen in sports,
(16:37):
that controversy, that thrill of competition stuff. Sometimes you need
that little bit of ego and this stuff thrown out.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
There to me, Yeah, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Sometimes somebody got to be the villain, right, somebody got
to be the cry boo get back on Devens.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Why yeah, I get it. Get what he's saying.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Let's go to uh our guy, Andre Massachusetts, Dre.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You love ball? What's up?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Man?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
I could be radio.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Hey, well what's going on?
Speaker 10 (17:02):
Thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Listen.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
There's a thin line between insanity and genius, and Lucas
certainly trespasses that line. But he is undoubtedly a basketball genius.
So you have to learn to live and grow around that.
Luca is an Alan Iverson type talent, two thousand and
one type of talent. He's already proven it. He's going
to get you to the promised Land. That's his pedigree.
(17:26):
He did it last year getting them all the way
to the finals. He's done it before in terms of
getting Mavericks to the Western Conference finals, knocking out a
Sun's team that was better than them when they were
coached under Monty Williams. So he's a winner. All the
things that you're saying about the intangibles, Yes, it's disruptive,
yes it's uncounterproductive, all those things, but at the end
of the day, it amounts to winning and championships. So
(17:48):
you have to find a way to structure your team.
You need worker bees, around Lucan to do all the
things because he is going to give up possessions and
he is going to coffee. So that's the theory for me.
He is that guy, it's the truth.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Well, he might, but he might wind up costing you
long term. You just mentioned Alan Iverson, and I'm not
saying it's the same thing. He got to one finals
and that was it. Could that be Luca.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I think he's literally just a physique. His body's built.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
He's able to do more than than Alan Iverson.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
So I get that, But he also might be breaking
down as he gets older, is what I'm saying, as
time goes on.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That's not I mean, well, the Mavericks are banking on that.
Uh they saying that that that's absolutely what it's gonna be.
I just think go back to what Andre was saying.
It was my original point that I totally get what
I told you. I'm not I know as a player,
if I was on his team, if I was a
teammate of Luke, I'm going home some nights frustrated.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I'm in I'm in the I'm in the huddle with
him some nights. I'm going, hey, man, we need you.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You're leaving us hanging right now, I gotta card two
people put the officials. Yes, I do not do not
think I'm not with you. I totally get that. I
just think certain people man greatness. Like I said, you
know what I mean, Shaq one of them to record albums,
and like what did we say with Shaq?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Man, he ain't come in.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I'll get I'll get in shape on the company dime
instead of being, you know, an amazing shape like Kobe was.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
It's just frustrate certain people, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Just it's almost like when you're in a relationship, Rob
you've been in those might being one.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't know what you're doing on here any streets,
but everybody has a flow. Maybe he kiss continuously leaves
his underwear on the floor and she's got to deal
with that. Maybe she just look every now and again.
She just likes to buy a new pair of shoes,
even though you told her, baby, look, don't mind no
more shoes. We don't buy any more shoes. So he's
just one of those. You kind of gott to chalk
it up.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let's take one more call real quick. We'll go out
to Palm Springs to take Jim Jim, you're on with
the Odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Hey guys, how are you? I'm okay?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Thanks really fast?
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Can we please get up on Lucas?
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Did you guys?
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Did you guys not realize they rescinded the foul today?
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Did they rescend the fourth corner?
Speaker 10 (20:00):
They wait a minute talking about the reps.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Because because because nobody wants to turn the station and
listen to ref radio, nobody wants to talk about the referees.
Why we aren't talking about the refs. Who wants to
talk about the referees? Nobody? And do they make bad call?

Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Are they human?
Speaker 7 (20:29):

George Sanders will visit with the Raiders early next week.
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be limited in OTA's following
(23:12):
off season surgery on his non throwing shoulder, and police
were called to the home of Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek
Hill on Monday afternoon for what was described as a
domestic dispute between Hill.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And his wife.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
No charges were filed on the matter, but the Dolphins
are saying that they are going.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
To continue to look into the situation.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Back to you guys, all.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Right, MATI, I have a great night, go back and
telling them about they didn't get you to tortilla chips.
Speaker 11 (23:36):
I would have.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't leave without it.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
Nowadays, when I order food anywhere, you have to check
your order.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Yes, do not get home without checking your order.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Always for somebody who is a fat man on the inside. Myself,
you would think I'll do that more, but I don't.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
You have to do it now, I know.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
You know.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
It's funny though. It's almost like disrespectful to the people
working there. I noticed, like when they check your hundred,
you're like, you think it's.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Fake, right, and you're right, And I do it in
front of them.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Yeah, I would pull right off to the side, and
I will look and I'll be like, okay, great, thank you,
because how many times have I gotten.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Home and you have messed up my order and then
have to drive back? First of all, you.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Too don't cool to know I love food conversations, but
we got to get the old pies. Oh sorry, old, yeah,
you guy to join in for another ten minutes. Well, Old,
they would have been like, hold on now, but oh
did you make sure you check your meal too?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Right?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
I do. I know what my husband talking about, because
they messed you, you know, except for.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
When he was in Detroit and had the hunger strike.
Then he wasn't checking the meal.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Hey man, my.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Whoa old? Did he starting already? You a thirty two seconds?
By the way, folks were joined by olden polonies.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
For before Cappenick.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
That's right, it's.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All hey, older, it's all good man, for sure, hey old.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And of course we were just talking and you, you know,
you played with so many different players, and you you
played against so many different players. Put a button on
the conversation of Luca and and listen, we all know
he's arguably top one, two, three, four best players in
the league.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
That's not a question.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But one of the issues for the last few years
is people say, hey, man, stop complaining, get back on defense,
stop complaining calling to the rest, and it costs possibly
the Lakers a game last night, and that the refs
turned around and saw Luca and had ptsdcent. I know
he yelling at me, even though it was actually a fan.
They since rescinded. But your thoughts on just how you
handle that, Is it part of the game. Is it
(25:25):
something he could evolve for is just my thing to
Rob was man. Every player has a flaw, might be
misfree throws, might be they like to you know, Shack
got in shape during the season.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Not getting back on defensive flaw. I just think that
that's that's bad.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Well, I promise you this God is never giving someone
everything right. There's always going to be something wrong with somebody,
every player, no matter what sport. And you also got
to remember Luca, you know, international player, Luca grew up
a soccer fan, so you know, you know how the
soccer players are. They flail everything. There's always an argument
(26:02):
about something. So that's his thing, you know, and I
understand it. That's his thing. It shouldn't be his thing
because of our great he is. But unfortunately that's his
thing and people need to understand Lucas. It's gonna run
his mouth. He's gonna you know, he's never committed a
foul and he's always getting fouled, and so it's a
tough situation. But it goes to show you how crazy
(26:25):
it is because the rest literly thought it was at him.
I said, either way, it's still bad business. You don't
need the chirp at fans. So you're wrong either way.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yes, thank you telling him Olden. It just it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And tonight here they are trying to speed spoon feed
Lucas so that he could prove some point.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The Lakers need to win this game and guess what
they're losing.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Well, they were losing that. Lakers are up one right now.
But you know, it's it's a tough situation. You're right,
they have spoon seeing him thirty one points in the
first half, and you know they like I think it's
basically hear, Luca, you know your player, as long as
you want to do whatever you want. Because we're trying
to prove something. There's nothing to prove. We know how great,
(27:16):
Luca is. So that's what I'm saying. A lot of
stuff almost teams. The only thing that doesn't seem forced
was him crying. He really felt those those and the
emotion he was.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
He crying about Dallas and the fans on one hundred
million dollars that it cost him when they dealt that.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
No, I'm just asking that he's gonna make that back
in La.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
He also said, was he crying because his favorite Popeye's
and Dallas ran out of red rev.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
Oh, Luca, guy, dude, give me a call, man, I'm
making the best redbea the rights ever.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
That's right, hey, you as you see a team that's
going way under the radar.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Uh And what good reason?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Because you know it's always about well, if they stay
healthy and if Kawhi plays or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
But quietly, the Clippers have had a really good season
and Kawhi's playing some really good basketball. What do you
think about the Clippers?
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Well, I'm not gonna get too overly excited because I
know who the Clippers are and I think they are cursed.
They're gonna show us, you know, whether it was Lot
City or whomever, They're gonna give you just enough throughout
the regular season you get all excited, and then playoffs
come the curse hits. And so to me, I'm not
(28:35):
buying the Clippers only because, again, seven game series are
a lot harder than when you're playing different opponents every night,
and teams are gonna lock in, They're gonna lock it
on Kawhi, they gonna lock it on Hardened, you know,
and it's gonna be a different situation. But again, it's
it's the Curse of the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, I mean they've been quietly old and they've been
doing their thing quietly, but saying.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
How many years have we've been saying this? Man?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Come on, old? What you want me to say?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
My whole life that we've been saying this? George, Oh
my god, they're about.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
To do it.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
You gotta stop you making cry so Olden.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I already got I figured out what I'm gonna buy
you for Christmas, and I'm gonna go pick it up
and put it in the closet for Christmas time. So
how many lebron Barbie doll Ken dolls do you want
for Christmas?
Speaker 11 (29:25):
Is what I want.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
I've never been into Bobbie or Kendal, so we're not
gonna start right now at sixty years old. I'm good,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
You sure, man. There's a couple of versions.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
There's like.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He's got on one of one of them.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I saw though, old and skin tight pants, you know,
uh pants around the ankle.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You hear what he said, right, he's wearing He's.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Wearing Jordan's, not those bricks Lebron's that nobody buys.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
He's wearing like Jordan's.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I didn't Rob.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I would have been mad if I was Lebron to
put him in like, ah, those Georgia has on and
now Lebron.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I gotta check the shoe. But he said about them saying, man,
all this is great. When they unveiled it to him,
and then he said, but did I miss leg day?
He's like, my legs are skinny? Case they have He
was like, y'all couldn't have you work out Bronni, I
mean workout.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Bronic And it's a typical Lebron answer. Yeah. Well, it's like,
how about hey, you know what, I'm honored, you know
that's it. But it still has to go back to him.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I want to go Olden Polonies our guest, Fox Sports Radio,
NBA anlst of course former NBA player as well Old
and I'm going to go to the Eastern Conference. I
want to talk about what does it take, like the
makeup of a team. And Rob brought up Detroit. I
want to go back there for a minute. What we
see a coach Mike malonea's gone. Now we see J. B.
Bickerstaffhen he's doing in Detroit. What can a coach do
to make a team go from so few wins all
(30:53):
of a sudden people are like, man, don't sleep on
them in the playoffs talking about the Pistons. What does
a coach do or change or bring for us who
haven't played the league?
Speaker 5 (31:00):
What's it like?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Sometimes it's just a guy coming in and having a belief.
Sometimes that's all it takes. JV is a positive, up
be kind of guy that does no basketball and so
his style because teams take on the personalities of their coaches,
and but it only lasts for a certain amount of time.
And again hence Mike Malone getting fired because you know,
(31:25):
the honeymoon was over, you know, after the championship, and
there were rumblings even doing the championship run, and so
a lot of teams that's what happens, you know. The Pistons.
It was like when I saw they got Tobias Harris
and a couple of other players they got, I was like,
wait a minute, now, Tim Hardaway Junior. I was like, hey,
(31:48):
they might they might call some some rucords in the league,
and they have you know, Jalen Duranz stepped into his
man body and learning how to play Jay. I mean,
Kay Cunningham is as a freaking beast. So I really
liked that team. I did call it with mister Parker
next to you early in the like during the summer
(32:12):
or whenever JB got hired. I was on the show
and I said it, and I stood by it. I
knew the pisses were gonna do what they did well.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
They had to do better than because I always thought
Monti Williams never wanted that job. And there's no way
Olden in this league, with so many bad teams, you
could lose twenty eight games in a row in the NBA.
I mean, I was shocked he didn't get fired after
that streak because something.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And to their credit, they eventually fired him. But I
was terrible.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Yeah, Well he got the money and he relaxed, and
some people get jobs based on their past history now
because it's deserving and a lot and sometimes and I
don't like that because sometimes, you know, you just can't
hire a guy because oh, yeah, well, you know he
did this four years ago over here. No, how's he
gonna it in this situation? And so to me, that's
(33:03):
that's part of the problem within the NBA, you know,
And that's why I think we're seeing there's gonna be
a lot more younger guys coming in because some of
the old heads they just rubbing people the wrong way.
But again, it has to do with the fact that
a lot of these players, and I'm gonna call it
a spade of spade, a lot of these guys are
real sensitive. And you can't have old school coaches that
(33:25):
yelling scream, you know, because they can't handle it. You know,
they just can't handle the yelling and scream and no, I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Calling and I can't get up.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
There.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
You go.
Speaker 1 (33:40):

Odd Couple, Robin Kelvin, Fox Sports Radio.

Robin Kelvin on a Hello Worship Wednesday, Thank you for
hanging out with us. We appreciate it. As we broadcast
live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Tire rec
dot Com is gonna help you get there and I'm
Matt selection fast free shipping, free road has a protection
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirerack dot com is
(34:55):
the way tire buying should be. And uh, Rob Cody
Bellinger was playing the Tigers the other night in Detroit,
as you, of course are very familiar with, and said,
we got a game and decided to order some food.
And he's like, yeah, you know, and everybody was raving
about their wings, and everybody was raving about the wings.
(35:16):
Said you know, I'll get the wings. He said he
had no rub, no sauce, no anything, just straight up
chicken wings. And then he set around four am. He's
just heaving and throwing up for hours and hours, so
much so Robb he couldn't even play the game the
next day. And then he came out, got better played
the next day, said I got the best sleep ever
every got not slept all day, was going through it.
But then he says this part, Rob, he didn't go
(35:36):
to Sweet Waters. I'll tell you that, facts, big facts, Rob,
he did not go there. He said that he can't
eat chicken wings for at least five years because the
thought of it alone makes him sick. So my question
to you is how could you ever go that long
without wings even if they made you throw up one night?
And then if ay, that's the question, b when end
(35:59):
is the last time you got you know, food poisonerger
sticking from something?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Do you remember remember I'm.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Gonna say, knock on wood, I don't remember that. I
couldn't give up wings for five years. You do have
a bad experience, you know with something. I remember having
seafood once and you know, breaking out, you know, you
getting bobs or whatever with the seafood or whatever like
I've had that.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
It didn't stop me. I'll eat every lobster in site.
I'm just like, I'm being out a.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Bad night, that's right.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
If it's lobster, I'm eating it. So I never never
turned me off to lobster or seafood.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
And you just say, I.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Understand what he's saying. But I think, jokingly he'll be
back on the wings.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Sooner though, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Man, I'm gonna say that happened to me, Rob, that
happened to me, And it was about that long, maybe longer.
I'm being dead serious, probably anywhere from five to seven
years before I went back to something.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Was it pancakes? I want to say who they.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Were a pancake. Here you go, ribe, just try and
go open up.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
It was Taco Bell when I was about twenty stop
and I was just normal, no normal day, pulling in,
leaving my boy's house. Went to Taco Bell middle of
the day, like two o'clock, Grab Taco Bell, eat it
while I'm driving, you know what I mean? All right,
I'm like, man. By the time I got home, I
ran straight. You know, I usually have to take a
little longer. I went straight to the bathroom and had
(37:25):
to throw I mean I threw him so hard, verbatim
what Mama Dove says. Mama Dove comes up in son,
You're okay while I'm in the bathroom. No, no, she
goes in all of my years, I have never heard
anything like that. That's how bad I was heaving and
throwing up. So man, I was Cody Bellinger rop because
(37:46):
if somebody fixed their mouths say man, let's go to talk,
I say, hey, you better call them something else. You
cannot say taco hummy, let alone Bell. And for years
I couldn't et Taco be because I would instantly go
back to the worst grow up moment of my life.
Because like Cody said, it wasn't a food moment where
you're like, I don't feel good and you know you
throw it one time your eye. That was a bad,
(38:08):
you know, bad thing that happens. It was the severity
of the you know, the issue that my brain immediately
went back to that.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
So that was fine for you, Alex.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Anybody else got one bow bo, you got a moment
where like for you, just like I can't never go
back to that because I got, you know, the messing up.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Jack Daniels whiskey, Like the thought of Jack Daniels whiskey.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Like right now, even right now, like I'm getting a
little bit of a.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Little little lump in the back of my throat. Yeah, Alex,
what about you? I do want to mention about where
I'm going tomorrow. Alex.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
You got something, Yeah, so I would say it's a
it's a really distant memory. I don't think if it
actually was the thing that got me sick. But back
in easter time, many moons ago, I ate something where
it was like those black poppy seeds, maybe in the
bread or something, and I just remember vomiting uncontrollably. Maybe
something was uncooked. Anytime I eat anything with black seeds
in it, I.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
Get a little scared. Yeah, just like those things. Again,
I thought I was gonna Yeah, that is tough.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I do want to say this though, Kelvin.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Tomorrow, I'm heading back to New York and I'm going
to my high school, Martin Van Buren High School in
Queens Village, and they have a mural on the wall
and the media center, and I happen to make that.
I'm going to speak to the students tomorrow. I'm gonna
look at it for the first time. Get some pictures,
so check out my social or whatever and you'll get
to see them. But I'm I'm very humble.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I already put me in the high school Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
But to have a mural up where I'm going to
be there forever in a room for the media center,
it's pretty amazing. And I want to thank everybody there
at Martin Van Buren High School for thinking about me.
Speaker 1 (39:37):

Don't forget coming up last call in case you can
get in. It was a topic you still wanted to hit.
You couldn't get there, so we have a lot to
do and cover. And as Kevin and Monty have told
(01:10):
you the halftime, the Lakers up by three and Luca's
got thirty one points and all that kind of stuff,
and there were tears and balloons and confetti and all that.
I guess I'm just saying yeah, And the bottom line is,
given how great a player he is, I'm gonna say
this straight up.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Kelvin, He's hard to root for, Luca. He just is.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He's a hard watch. He complains too much. It takes
away from his talent. He wants a foul called on
every single play.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I can't watch the dude.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It why he's so good, he's so talented. He's a
cry baby. Does that not bother you?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It bothers me?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And I don't think I'm the only one. No, I
don't think I have no I have no horse in
this race.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I really I don't. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
You thought I care. If to, he would have won
the championship last year with the Mavericks. No, I wasn't
rooting against him or anything. I'm just saying he's hard
to root four. Not about rooting against him, like I
don't want to see him win or something. I already
recognize how good of a player he is, and his
stature and what he's accomplished in such as such a
(02:28):
young age five All First Team NBA. I mean five, right,
twenty five years old, like incredible, But there's something about
him that rubs me the wrong way, and and and
and and I just when I watch him, it's.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Hard to watch. I can understand that. I think you're
not alone. I think a lot of people that would
be the flaw or the thing. You know, it's not
his game obviously off He's got Dagner forty points already,
Uh in this game. We all know what he's capable
of. If he had seven any points? Was it last year?
So he is just remarkable. Five times All NBA First
Team and you're twenty five, twenty six years old, Well,
we know who you are. The issue is, to me,
(03:11):
it is similar to a lot of Lebron people call
the flop you know he's been. They call him the
flopper or the complaining you know, or complaining for calls
as well.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Throughout his career.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The main reason why I have an issue with this
for Luca is because it's not as if he complained
about a call during dead balls. It's not if he
complained about calls hey after a game. It's not if
he complained once or twice throughout the game. But you know,
the game was still slow. The other team was coming
back slowly. My big issue is that he does it,
and oftentimes is that his team's demise because he does
(03:39):
it and he doesn't get back right.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
He's yelling at the ref.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Now that's five on four and he's still not getting back,
and he's getting back slow. I don't like that. I
don't like that. You're getting texts and you're hurting us
at bad times. Allah yesterday and again he was yelling
at Fanning, but the ref had patsd. He saw Luca
and said, oh, you must be cussing me out because
this is what he does, and he kicked him out
the game and the ref was wrong, but that became
the reputation.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
So my thing is not let your.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Reputation precedes you. That's exactly why that happened.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
He turned around, he saw Luca, just like if he
to turn around and saw Rashid Wallace. You know that
you covered him for all those years in Detroit. Just
like they turn around, they say Draymond, just like they
turn around they saw Ron our Test aka Meta. There's
just certain guys that end up have Steven Jackson for
a while. There's certain guys that just turn around the
oh you get a rep, you get a tech and
they're and they're maybe more judicious, uh or nor nuanced
(04:28):
with other players. That's his reputation. He complains, he cries,
and he you know, he doesn't get back, and that's
the thing that hurts me. But here's the thing. If
you're the Mavericks, I mean here, I am living in
six months ago. If you're the Lakers, now he's their
problem in this regard. If you're the Lakers, if you
are the team that has a great player, it's one
(04:48):
of those things you're gonna have to chalk it up
as because no human is perfect. You got Lebron, well,
you might have to worry about him flopping or at
this point obviously last five six years, maybe he's playing
a little old lady. But dang, and I got Lebron, right,
I got Kobe. Maybe he's a little too maniacal, punching
teammates on the plane literally and he's just too crazy.
And maybe even turn some free agency, cause I want
(05:10):
to play with that guy. He shoot too many shots.
He turned some off. They wouldn't Nobody came none to
play with. Nobody wanted to play with Kobe that exact
nobody wanted to play with him.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Why Howard gave up thirty million dollars not to stay
in lost hen exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So I bet you he want that money back. Yeah, well,
of course he's trying to. He been trying to get
back with the Lakers ever since. But my point is,
as I look everything you say, I totally get it.
But it's one of those things where I really thought
about this. I'm like, man, every player is flawed. Steph
Curry came in with bad ankles, and he's always the
guy for a long a lot of years, especially all
those battles against the Cleveland Cavaliers where the team would
(05:44):
seek out they try to hide him fro Kyrie. They
just set a pick so he has the guy career,
hide him from Lebron. They just set a pick so
that he's an owl on Lebron. And so that's just
one of his flaws. He had bad ankles, he was
injury prone the first half of his career, and then
he's just not great defensively and so on and so forth.
You know, Shaq couldn't make free throw like and so
this is just the thing. I get that, and I
guess what you're.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Saying, you can change that about watching a guy who's
a cry baby who's so talented. It ain't like he's
crying for fouls and he's averaging nine points because you know, like.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
He's like, help me out, let me just get to ten.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But it's every call, That's what I'm trying to say.
It ain't even like once in a while.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It's like every call and and I get never satisfied.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And the problem with it, Rob is he's probably been
doing this since he was what eleven, twelve years old, thirteen,
I think he started playing in the pros, So I
think this has literally been what he's done and it's working,
you know, and it maybe again, the popularity of the
game in Europe isn't quite like ours because ours is global, Uh,
theirs isn't as global. Obviously, the way in which they
go about it may be different. We already know how
(06:48):
physical they are, so I just think there may be
certain emen they they got. The guys are smoking on
the bench like it's just a it's just a different game,
and maybe he's not accustomed to that. But again, I
hate it from himf I'm his teammate, bro. Yeah, can
you get back because it's five or four right now. Bruh,
what Luca? You got kicked out this game? You on
fire right now with kidding. We about to beat the
Oklahoma City then Thunder two games in a row, and
(07:10):
now you kicked out. So if I'm his teammate, it
drives me crazy. But I really mean this when I
say it's like Steph Curry. I know he goes home
some nights to Alicia, Hey, baby, how was the game.
I was busy with the kids and in my new restaurant,
and he just looks at us and said, Babe, Draymond
did it again.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And she knows what that meant.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Draymond and kicked somebody, then stepped on somebody and punched
somebody and elbowed somebody, and probably they have a laugh,
they have a glass of wine, they get ticked off, whatever.
But at the end of the day, you're like, that's
just my guy. And I think if you're now Lebron,
if you're now Austin Reeves, if you're not JJ Reddick,
you go and you might have to go get a massage,
You might have to woo saw, you might have to
do whatever you do to ease up the pain and
(07:48):
the annoyance because you probably sitting there want to strangle
Lucas some knights. But I just think that's part of
his thing, because every guy has a thing. Kawhi says, man,
you are great, but Kah you injured all the time.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
But the only difference is with Kawhi and the injuries.
I don't dislike or find it hard. I'm disappointed. I
tell you where you get healthy, but right, But I
don't look at that. I don't look at the same
thing as that, because I do believe he's heard I do.
I don't believe he's sitting out just to sit out.
I believe he's I think he put a little extra
(08:21):
sauce on it. Manci that's agrees. That's her team that
won two championship. Do not question you don't great.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I think he is.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I don't question him at all when he plays. He's
one of the best players out.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I just don't. And I think that he really had and.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
What was going on with the Spurs down there and
they're medical people and uh, and I think he's been
proven right with all the time and all the injuries
that he's had that he had.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
But I'm saying that's an issue with him.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And also maybe you wanted somebody as an organization to
have more personality so we can have a superstar in.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I think what I think what we're talking about is different.
I'm talking about looking at a guy who to me
appears to be a cry a cry baby. For me
to rally around or look at a guy who's a
cry baby.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I'm gonna tell you one more reason why I can
not throw the baby out with the bath water.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I get it. I told you, I get it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I'm going home get him size wusan get mad at
him if I'm a teammate some nights. But the only
other reason why I'd be like I just gotta chalk
it up is because one thing we never questioned. And
I think one of the reasons why, like you know,
people say the culture rocks with Luca is because Luca
got some gangster, some swag. He gonna talk to almost
have fault something like getting technicals, because he's gonna, let
(09:38):
you know, he's gonna talk smack hit that shot out
of Rudy Gobert. You can't mother love and guard me.
I mean, He's just that type of guy. So to me,
it would be different. He was a win or complainer
and he wasn't passionate, and gosh from him, I know
he cares. I know he wants to win. I know
he's passionate. I know he's fired up. So that again
is why I have to go. I just gotta talk
(10:00):
this up. But everything you said, I get it. And
it's gonna cost your team at times. It's gonna cost
you a couple of players on a fast break. It
even costs you some frustration. But I'm like, if you're
building a player on NBA two K, nobody has ninety
nine ninety nine ninety nine attributes like that on the Sliders,
everybody has a.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, but they're also there's issues.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'm just saying, like, what you're talking about defensively could
wind up coming back to bite.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You because he's so caught up in the officials and
all that other stuff. You want a guy to be focused.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
You don't want to be playing, uh, you know, undermanned
or down a man because he's back one thing, you
fall down in your ankle hurts, but you're just did
dawn at an official and and enough, how many points
do you want to score? You got fifty tonight and
you're still dawing at the like that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It ain't like he's a nine poles on.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Fifty five Rob and those are five free throws they
robbed me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Of exactly every single time. I mean, I don't know,
he's not on my list as somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You don't want to call it the call it the
Rob Parker can get a credential any game. We know
that because they've been covering the lakes is nineteen eighty seven.
I'll get it out the way for you, but we'll
call it the Is Luca a guy you want to
pay money for it? Like, hey, I want to go
pay I'm paying my one hundred and fifty bucks to
go to the Laker game, and now I want to go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I get his talent is unquestioned.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
It's just his demeanor and the way he plays, and
the emphasis on paying attention to the officials, Like that's who,
that's who.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You don't want to be paying attention to play ball?
Stop with the officials.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Maybe that's why you know his team hasn't won yet,
or he hasn't won an MVP yet or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
You know what I mean, Like, he's so talented I
just don't remember great.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I don't remember Michael Jordan, those guys worrying about an
official all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
With that, I'm talking about the great, the only last thing.
And and bo tell me if you feel me on
this bow.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Is.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I think we have so much access to everything now
that when I go back and watch, you know, I'm
watching Celtic City. I watched documentaries and I'm a nut
on documentary, documentary sports. When you got me at documentary,
I'm in. We forget. Dudes did cry way more than
we remember. Dudes cry cry.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You show me Michael Jordan crying on every play.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He ain't Luca lev I'll give you that. But dudes
cry way more than we remember. We just didn't see
it because everything wasn't nationally televised or put on our
social media. You just didn't see a random Tuesday night
of Boston with Larry Birr.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
You didn't see.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Random night after night a lot. And I'm telling you
just from being at their arena. And and there was
a coach, Gary Saint Jean, and he used to do
he was the Nets assistant coach, went to UH to
the Warriors, and he used to he used to say
are you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Blink blinking me every single call?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
And I remember him, but I just don't remember players
like constantly. And I'm saying like, it's just a turnoff play, dude,
Why are you focused on the officials? Yeah, they make
a call on a big play. You should have an
and one to tie the game. Should you say something
or something that's obvious? You know what I mean in
(13:19):
a situation, Hey, I'm a start on this league. I
should be able to get that call. But you won't
get that call when when you're bellyaching about every call.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Well leave it right there.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Luca, you like
the aesthetics of him playing off the times he's gonna
complain oftentimes it's gonna you know, not get back on
deal or as you just chalking up talking to the game.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You know, it's just part of the game.

We're coming to you live from the tire Rack dot
Com studios, and we're talking.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
About Luca Man. I mean, Rob brought up a point
A lot of people bring up watching Luca.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You realize how spectacular He's almost got forty already right
now in this game.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
He's just great, five time All NBA. We know the stats,
we know everything.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
But people do get upset that he complains a lot,
he falls, he's yelling at refs, he doesn't get back
on defense. So how do you handle that? Is it
ruin your entertainment value watching him? Do you just chalk
it up as hey, it is what it is, It's
part of his flaw? Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox take some calls. We'll go to uh Dwight and Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Dwight.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
You're on with the Odd Couple, Fox Sports Radio. Dwight,

Good? Man?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Great?
Speaker 8 (15:00):
Okay, I'm good. Say when I asked the question, no,
I couldn't. I can't pay to see Luca. But I'm
such a Lebron James and Lakers plan, I still have
to pay anyway to see you. But then, okay, Rob,
I was thinking when you was you describing him? I
was great with everything you're saying, But I feel like
a better word to describe Luca. Man, It's like to me,
I feel like he's playing with a sense of entitlement.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
That's a great one, but that's a great I know
I'm saying he's a baby because he's always complaining, but
like he's so good that nobody can defend him and
everybody fouls him on every play, and the sent of
entitlement that he deserves every call.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
All right, right, exactly, all right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Hey, do I appreciate the call? D I said, I'm
gonna have to pay for the game anyway. I'm a
big Laker Lebron fan.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
So ninety nine on Fox right number.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Eight seven seven niney nine one Fox, So go to
uh is it Jam in West Virginia? Yeah, Jam, all right, man,
you're at the out couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Hey man, I love you guys, show man.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I just want to throw you know. I'm I'm that guy,
you know, I'm that sports.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
Fan that likes that little bit of controversy. You know,
when when the Yankees and Red Sox get together and
Pedro Song coaches all over.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
The field and stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
I mean those are things I remember, you know, and
Luca Fault in that category. Who wants to watch a
basketball games just up and down the court all time?
I mean, I like a little bit of controversy. I
don't want to see nobody get hurt, you know, but
I want an ASCAR to see if somebody rolls a
two hundred nine iron car over on its head, you
know what I mean. I don't want to see nobody
get hurt. But but those things that happen in sports,
(16:37):
that controversy, that thrill of competition stuff. Sometimes you need
that little bit of ego and this stuff thrown out.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
There to me, Yeah, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Sometimes somebody got to be the villain, right, somebody got
to be the cry boo get back on Devens.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Why yeah, I get it. Get what he's saying.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Let's go to uh our guy, Andre Massachusetts, Dre.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You love ball? What's up?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Man?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
I could be radio.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Hey, well what's going on?
Speaker 10 (17:02):
Thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Listen.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
There's a thin line between insanity and genius, and Lucas
certainly trespasses that line. But he is undoubtedly a basketball genius.
So you have to learn to live and grow around that.
Luca is an Alan Iverson type talent, two thousand and
one type of talent. He's already proven it. He's going
to get you to the promised Land. That's his pedigree.
(17:26):
He did it last year getting them all the way
to the finals. He's done it before in terms of
getting Mavericks to the Western Conference finals, knocking out a
Sun's team that was better than them when they were
coached under Monty Williams. So he's a winner. All the
things that you're saying about the intangibles, Yes, it's disruptive,
yes it's uncounterproductive, all those things, but at the end
of the day, it amounts to winning and championships. So
(17:48):
you have to find a way to structure your team.
You need worker bees, around Lucan to do all the
things because he is going to give up possessions and
he is going to coffee. So that's the theory for me.
He is that guy, it's the truth.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Well, he might, but he might wind up costing you
long term. You just mentioned Alan Iverson, and I'm not
saying it's the same thing. He got to one finals
and that was it. Could that be Luca.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I think he's literally just a physique. His body's built.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
He's able to do more than than Alan Iverson.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
So I get that, But he also might be breaking
down as he gets older, is what I'm saying, as
time goes on.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That's not I mean, well, the Mavericks are banking on that.
Uh they saying that that that's absolutely what it's gonna be.
I just think go back to what Andre was saying.
It was my original point that I totally get what
I told you. I'm not I know as a player,
if I was on his team, if I was a
teammate of Luke, I'm going home some nights frustrated.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I'm in I'm in the I'm in the huddle with
him some nights. I'm going, hey, man, we need you.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You're leaving us hanging right now, I gotta card two
people put the officials. Yes, I do not do not
think I'm not with you. I totally get that. I
just think certain people man greatness. Like I said, you
know what I mean, Shaq one of them to record albums,
and like what did we say with Shaq?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Man, he ain't come in.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I'll get I'll get in shape on the company dime
instead of being, you know, an amazing shape like Kobe was.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
It's just frustrate certain people, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Just it's almost like when you're in a relationship, Rob
you've been in those might being one.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't know what you're doing on here any streets,
but everybody has a flow. Maybe he kiss continuously leaves
his underwear on the floor and she's got to deal
with that. Maybe she just look every now and again.
She just likes to buy a new pair of shoes,
even though you told her, baby, look, don't mind no
more shoes. We don't buy any more shoes. So he's
just one of those. You kind of gott to chalk
it up.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let's take one more call real quick. We'll go out
to Palm Springs to take Jim Jim, you're on with
the Odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Hey guys, how are you? I'm okay?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Thanks really fast?
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Can we please get up on Lucas?
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Did you guys?
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Did you guys not realize they rescinded the foul today?
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Did they rescend the fourth corner?
Speaker 10 (20:00):
They wait a minute talking about the reps.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Because because because nobody wants to turn the station and
listen to ref radio, nobody wants to talk about the referees.
Why we aren't talking about the refs. Who wants to
talk about the referees? Nobody? And do they make bad call?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Are they human?
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Do they make mistakes? That's not the issue. We know,
we weren't even talking about just last night in general.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Yes, And you know I like his game, and everybody,
this is this you know.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
What I'm talking about? Did I bring up last night's foul? No,
I'm talking about last night talking about his career.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You know how you don't like to be entrepreneurial and
all that. Go ahead and start REF radio.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Thereo ref Radio and right, and and he knows you
in the morning radio, Donna, he's doing the morning show.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I'm just saying it's called the odds couple.
Speaker 5 (21:12):

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be limited in OTA's following
(23:12):
off season surgery on his non throwing shoulder, and police
were called to the home of Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek
Hill on Monday afternoon for what was described as a
domestic dispute between Hill.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And his wife.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
No charges were filed on the matter, but the Dolphins
are saying that they are going.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
To continue to look into the situation.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Back to you guys, all.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Right, MATI, I have a great night, go back and
telling them about they didn't get you to tortilla chips.
Speaker 11 (23:36):
I would have.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't leave without it.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
Nowadays, when I order food anywhere, you have to check
your order.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Yes, do not get home without checking your order.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Always for somebody who is a fat man on the inside. Myself,
you would think I'll do that more, but I don't.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
You have to do it now, I know.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
You know.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
It's funny though. It's almost like disrespectful to the people
working there. I noticed, like when they check your hundred,
you're like, you think it's.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Fake, right, and you're right, And I do it in
front of them.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Yeah, I would pull right off to the side, and
I will look and I'll be like, okay, great, thank you,
because how many times have I gotten.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Home and you have messed up my order and then
have to drive back? First of all, you.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Too don't cool to know I love food conversations, but
we got to get the old pies. Oh sorry, old, yeah,
you guy to join in for another ten minutes. Well, Old,
they would have been like, hold on now, but oh
did you make sure you check your meal too?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Right?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
I do. I know what my husband talking about, because
they messed you, you know, except for.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
When he was in Detroit and had the hunger strike.
Then he wasn't checking the meal.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Hey man, my.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Whoa old? Did he starting already? You a thirty two seconds?
By the way, folks were joined by olden polonies.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
For before Cappenick.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
That's right, it's.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All hey, older, it's all good man, for sure, hey old.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And of course we were just talking and you, you know,
you played with so many different players, and you you
played against so many different players. Put a button on
the conversation of Luca and and listen, we all know
he's arguably top one, two, three, four best players in
the league.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
That's not a question.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But one of the issues for the last few years
is people say, hey, man, stop complaining, get back on defense,
stop complaining calling to the rest, and it costs possibly
the Lakers a game last night, and that the refs
turned around and saw Luca and had ptsdcent. I know
he yelling at me, even though it was actually a fan.
They since rescinded. But your thoughts on just how you
handle that, Is it part of the game. Is it
(25:25):
something he could evolve for is just my thing to
Rob was man. Every player has a flaw, might be
misfree throws, might be they like to you know, Shack
got in shape during the season.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Not getting back on defensive flaw. I just think that
that's that's bad.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Well, I promise you this God is never giving someone
everything right. There's always going to be something wrong with somebody,
every player, no matter what sport. And you also got
to remember Luca, you know, international player, Luca grew up
a soccer fan, so you know, you know how the
soccer players are. They flail everything. There's always an argument
(26:02):
about something. So that's his thing, you know, and I
understand it. That's his thing. It shouldn't be his thing
because of our great he is. But unfortunately that's his
thing and people need to understand Lucas. It's gonna run
his mouth. He's gonna you know, he's never committed a
foul and he's always getting fouled, and so it's a
tough situation. But it goes to show you how crazy
(26:25):
it is because the rest literly thought it was at him.
I said, either way, it's still bad business. You don't
need the chirp at fans. So you're wrong either way.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yes, thank you telling him Olden. It just it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And tonight here they are trying to speed spoon feed
Lucas so that he could prove some point.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The Lakers need to win this game and guess what
they're losing.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Well, they were losing that. Lakers are up one right now.
But you know, it's it's a tough situation. You're right,
they have spoon seeing him thirty one points in the
first half, and you know they like I think it's
basically hear, Luca, you know your player, as long as
you want to do whatever you want. Because we're trying
to prove something. There's nothing to prove. We know how great,
(27:16):
Luca is. So that's what I'm saying. A lot of
stuff almost teams. The only thing that doesn't seem forced
was him crying. He really felt those those and the
emotion he was.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
He crying about Dallas and the fans on one hundred
million dollars that it cost him when they dealt that.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
No, I'm just asking that he's gonna make that back
in La.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
He also said, was he crying because his favorite Popeye's
and Dallas ran out of red rev.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
Oh, Luca, guy, dude, give me a call, man, I'm
making the best redbea the rights ever.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
That's right, hey, you as you see a team that's
going way under the radar.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Uh And what good reason?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Because you know it's always about well, if they stay
healthy and if Kawhi plays or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
But quietly, the Clippers have had a really good season
and Kawhi's playing some really good basketball. What do you
think about the Clippers?
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Well, I'm not gonna get too overly excited because I
know who the Clippers are and I think they are cursed.
They're gonna show us, you know, whether it was Lot
City or whomever, They're gonna give you just enough throughout
the regular season you get all excited, and then playoffs
come the curse hits. And so to me, I'm not
(28:35):
buying the Clippers only because, again, seven game series are
a lot harder than when you're playing different opponents every night,
and teams are gonna lock in, They're gonna lock it
on Kawhi, they gonna lock it on Hardened, you know,
and it's gonna be a different situation. But again, it's
it's the Curse of the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, I mean they've been quietly old and they've been
doing their thing quietly, but saying.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
How many years have we've been saying this? Man?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Come on, old? What you want me to say?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
My whole life that we've been saying this? George, Oh
my god, they're about.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
To do it.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
You gotta stop you making cry so Olden.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I already got I figured out what I'm gonna buy
you for Christmas, and I'm gonna go pick it up
and put it in the closet for Christmas time. So
how many lebron Barbie doll Ken dolls do you want
for Christmas?
Speaker 11 (29:25):
Is what I want.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
I've never been into Bobbie or Kendal, so we're not
gonna start right now at sixty years old. I'm good,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
You sure, man. There's a couple of versions.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
There's like.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He's got on one of one of them.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I saw though, old and skin tight pants, you know,
uh pants around the ankle.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You hear what he said, right, he's wearing He's.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Wearing Jordan's, not those bricks Lebron's that nobody buys.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
He's wearing like Jordan's.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I didn't Rob.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I would have been mad if I was Lebron to
put him in like, ah, those Georgia has on and
now Lebron.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I gotta check the shoe. But he said about them saying, man,
all this is great. When they unveiled it to him,
and then he said, but did I miss leg day?
He's like, my legs are skinny? Case they have He
was like, y'all couldn't have you work out Bronni, I
mean workout.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Bronic And it's a typical Lebron answer. Yeah. Well, it's like,
how about hey, you know what, I'm honored, you know
that's it. But it still has to go back to him.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I want to go Olden Polonies our guest, Fox Sports Radio,
NBA anlst of course former NBA player as well Old
and I'm going to go to the Eastern Conference. I
want to talk about what does it take, like the
makeup of a team. And Rob brought up Detroit. I
want to go back there for a minute. What we
see a coach Mike malonea's gone. Now we see J. B.
Bickerstaffhen he's doing in Detroit. What can a coach do
to make a team go from so few wins all
(30:53):
of a sudden people are like, man, don't sleep on
them in the playoffs talking about the Pistons. What does
a coach do or change or bring for us who
haven't played the league?
Speaker 5 (31:00):
What's it like?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Sometimes it's just a guy coming in and having a belief.
Sometimes that's all it takes. JV is a positive, up
be kind of guy that does no basketball and so
his style because teams take on the personalities of their coaches,
and but it only lasts for a certain amount of time.
And again hence Mike Malone getting fired because you know,
(31:25):
the honeymoon was over, you know, after the championship, and
there were rumblings even doing the championship run, and so
a lot of teams that's what happens, you know. The Pistons.
It was like when I saw they got Tobias Harris
and a couple of other players they got, I was like,
wait a minute, now, Tim Hardaway Junior. I was like, hey,
(31:48):
they might they might call some some rucords in the league,
and they have you know, Jalen Duranz stepped into his
man body and learning how to play Jay. I mean,
Kay Cunningham is as a freaking beast. So I really
liked that team. I did call it with mister Parker
next to you early in the like during the summer
(32:12):
or whenever JB got hired. I was on the show
and I said it, and I stood by it. I
knew the pisses were gonna do what they did well.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
They had to do better than because I always thought
Monti Williams never wanted that job. And there's no way
Olden in this league, with so many bad teams, you
could lose twenty eight games in a row in the NBA.
I mean, I was shocked he didn't get fired after
that streak because something.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And to their credit, they eventually fired him. But I
was terrible.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Yeah, Well he got the money and he relaxed, and
some people get jobs based on their past history now
because it's deserving and a lot and sometimes and I
don't like that because sometimes, you know, you just can't
hire a guy because oh, yeah, well, you know he
did this four years ago over here. No, how's he
gonna it in this situation? And so to me, that's
(33:03):
that's part of the problem within the NBA, you know,
And that's why I think we're seeing there's gonna be
a lot more younger guys coming in because some of
the old heads they just rubbing people the wrong way.
But again, it has to do with the fact that
a lot of these players, and I'm gonna call it
a spade of spade, a lot of these guys are
real sensitive. And you can't have old school coaches that
(33:25):
yelling scream, you know, because they can't handle it. You know,
they just can't handle the yelling and scream and no, I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Calling and I can't get up.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
There.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
You go.
Speaker 1 (33:40):

about it. Cody Bellinger had a rough night the other
night and decide he's got to give something up. Could
we give it up? We'll tell you it is the
Odd Couple, Robin Kelvin, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:08):

live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Tire rec
dot Com is gonna help you get there and I'm
Matt selection fast free shipping, free road has a protection
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirerack dot com is
(34:55):
the way tire buying should be. And uh, Rob Cody
Bellinger was playing the Tigers the other night in Detroit,
as you, of course are very familiar with, and said,
we got a game and decided to order some food.
And he's like, yeah, you know, and everybody was raving
about their wings, and everybody was raving about the wings.
(35:16):
Said you know, I'll get the wings. He said he
had no rub, no sauce, no anything, just straight up
chicken wings. And then he set around four am. He's
just heaving and throwing up for hours and hours, so
much so Robb he couldn't even play the game the
next day. And then he came out, got better played
the next day, said I got the best sleep ever
every got not slept all day, was going through it.
But then he says this part, Rob, he didn't go
(35:36):
to Sweet Waters. I'll tell you that, facts, big facts, Rob,
he did not go there. He said that he can't
eat chicken wings for at least five years because the
thought of it alone makes him sick. So my question
to you is how could you ever go that long
without wings even if they made you throw up one night?
And then if ay, that's the question, b when end
(35:59):
is the last time you got you know, food poisonerger
sticking from something?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Do you remember remember I'm.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Gonna say, knock on wood, I don't remember that. I
couldn't give up wings for five years. You do have
a bad experience, you know with something. I remember having
seafood once and you know, breaking out, you know, you
getting bobs or whatever with the seafood or whatever like
I've had that.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
It didn't stop me. I'll eat every lobster in site.
I'm just like, I'm being out a.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Bad night, that's right.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
If it's lobster, I'm eating it. So I never never
turned me off to lobster or seafood.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
And you just say, I.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Understand what he's saying. But I think, jokingly he'll be
back on the wings.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Sooner though, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Man, I'm gonna say that happened to me, Rob, that
happened to me, And it was about that long, maybe longer.
I'm being dead serious, probably anywhere from five to seven
years before I went back to something.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Was it pancakes? I want to say who they.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Were a pancake. Here you go, ribe, just try and
go open up.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
It was Taco Bell when I was about twenty stop
and I was just normal, no normal day, pulling in,
leaving my boy's house. Went to Taco Bell middle of
the day, like two o'clock, Grab Taco Bell, eat it
while I'm driving, you know what I mean? All right,
I'm like, man. By the time I got home, I
ran straight. You know, I usually have to take a
little longer. I went straight to the bathroom and had
(37:25):
to throw I mean I threw him so hard, verbatim
what Mama Dove says. Mama Dove comes up in son,
You're okay while I'm in the bathroom. No, no, she
goes in all of my years, I have never heard
anything like that. That's how bad I was heaving and
throwing up. So man, I was Cody Bellinger rop because
(37:46):
if somebody fixed their mouths say man, let's go to talk,
I say, hey, you better call them something else. You
cannot say taco hummy, let alone Bell. And for years
I couldn't et Taco be because I would instantly go
back to the worst grow up moment of my life.
Because like Cody said, it wasn't a food moment where
you're like, I don't feel good and you know you
throw it one time your eye. That was a bad,
(38:08):
you know, bad thing that happens. It was the severity
of the you know, the issue that my brain immediately
went back to that.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
So that was fine for you, Alex.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Anybody else got one bow bo, you got a moment
where like for you, just like I can't never go
back to that because I got, you know, the messing up.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Jack Daniels whiskey, Like the thought of Jack Daniels whiskey.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Like right now, even right now, like I'm getting a
little bit of a.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Little little lump in the back of my throat. Yeah, Alex,
what about you? I do want to mention about where
I'm going tomorrow. Alex.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
You got something, Yeah, so I would say it's a
it's a really distant memory. I don't think if it
actually was the thing that got me sick. But back
in easter time, many moons ago, I ate something where
it was like those black poppy seeds, maybe in the
bread or something, and I just remember vomiting uncontrollably. Maybe
something was uncooked. Anytime I eat anything with black seeds
in it, I.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
Get a little scared. Yeah, just like those things. Again,
I thought I was gonna Yeah, that is tough.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I do want to say this though, Kelvin.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Tomorrow, I'm heading back to New York and I'm going
to my high school, Martin Van Buren High School in
Queens Village, and they have a mural on the wall
and the media center, and I happen to make that.
I'm going to speak to the students tomorrow. I'm gonna
look at it for the first time. Get some pictures,
so check out my social or whatever and you'll get
to see them. But I'm I'm very humble.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I already put me in the high school Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
But to have a mural up where I'm going to
be there forever in a room for the media center,
it's pretty amazing. And I want to thank everybody there
at Martin Van Buren High School for thinking about me.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
