00:01:02
Speaker 2: Before we talk Lebron and Jake, Paul and Anthony Joshua and Scataboo and Moore. Midweek Major we're streaming live. We're doing it live. We want you to get involved. We want you to say and see what's up at Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. At Coveno and rich FSR on YouTube. Let's go question for you. Yeah, he said, good morning, we're here p W Herman style.

00:02:10
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, mister cra well done. Is that also why you're having mister t cereal this morning?

00:02:16
Speaker 4: That's right?

00:02:17
Speaker 3: Because I pitied a fool that doesn't so good morning.

00:02:20
Speaker 5: We're here.

00:02:20
Speaker 2: We're Cavino and Rich Pee's voice a little too high at this hour. Remember it's earlier here in LA. We're in Los Angeles, the mean streets of LA. We're lifting the barrio right now. Rich Davis is in Texas, so call him hop along Dickey, but call us up and say what's up? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We gotta kick it off with less p W Herman impressions way back in a Wednesday and more Lebron James, Lebron James. Yeah, it's uh, it's happening. And when I say it's happening, I mean the Lakers are coming together. Lebron's healthy again, Lebron James. And you got Awestin Reeves, the unassuming goofy white dude, and you got Luca and they were saying, oh, it is my oldly related that I wouldn't say racist. Racist has this negative connotation to it race related. Yeah, I'm a white guy. I'm allowed to say I'm a goofy white guy. I'm allowed to say Austin Reeves is one of me. Rich is the president, so yeah, I'm the president of goofy white guy Club.

00:03:24
Speaker 3: I'm trying to recruit Austin Reeves for for years.

00:03:27
Speaker 4: I have a couple of friends who are goofy white guys.

00:03:29
Speaker 3: I sent them an application. He's like, I'm in. But now the Lakers.

00:03:32
Speaker 2: Last night, Danny g you must have been salivating over watching those three stars work together. They look dominant at times, and we talked about it yesterday on our show. So let me just reiterate that Austin Reeves gets not enough credit for what he's bringing to the table.

00:03:50
Speaker 3: You know what I thought about last night, Danny.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: As a Niners fan, if you're new to coven On Rich, we appreciate you hanging with us And for Dan Patrick.

00:03:55
Speaker 4: I'm a big forty nine Ers fan.

00:03:58
Speaker 2: Because Austin Reeves was not drafted to because he's unassuming. There's a little rock Purdy vibe with him, meaning like, oh shucks, like it takes a little more to impress people. It takes circus numbers. It takes for him to lead the team and put up circus numbers to get the credit that he's deserved for a minute. Now, he's playing in Los Angeles, he's playing with superstars, he's playing big, He's leading a team for the most part, he deserves that superstar sort of recognition, like he should be a household name, and unless you're a basketball fan, especially a Lakers fan, you really don't know who he is, and by now you should. In fact, his goofy sort of attitude should also make him more of a star, but it's not. However, I think when his name's in the same sentence as Kobe as it was this week and he starts climbing those Lakers' rankings, yeah he's gonna get that recognition he deserves. But again, he had to go above and beyond because of his unassuming ways, I think to get that recognition. Just this week, Austin Reeves is the second most twenty five point games by a Laker guard since two thousand. Only Kobe had more. So second to Kobe, that's unreal. He's in serious company. He went five for nine from deep against the Bucks and officially passed Caldwell Pope for seventh place on the Lakers' all time three points list. So he's making three points left and right. He has five hundred and twenty three threes in two ninety one games. That's before yesterday's game, and yesterday numbers he lit it up yesterday, props him. Luca had thirty seven points. Reeves had twenty six points and was leading for a while. He had that four point play that Danny g got all excited about Lebron James eleven points. But here's where you were getting that rich. I could see what's happening. We didn't have a clue. I'm not sure the league had a clue, because we're like, how was Lebron gonna fit into this twelve dish?

00:06:01
Speaker 4: In the ball around?

00:06:02
Speaker 2: And I quote Danny g He's still doing his producer stuff right now. I quote Danny G Man, it's look, he was Magic Johnson. Out dude, Golight. Let's slug the magic Johnson. Let First of all, it don't sound anything like that. I said he was dropping magic Johnson like passes.

00:06:17
Speaker 4: Yo, man, it was like magic Johnson.

00:06:19
Speaker 2: You know something about john All I heard was your Johnson or Johnson or something.

00:06:23
Speaker 6: He what he turned into like a quarterback, a game manager, if you will.

00:06:27
Speaker 3: He really did.

00:06:28
Speaker 4: It really looked that way.

00:06:29
Speaker 2: And here's my most obvious we call this on the CNR showgram an obvious servation. Here's my observation watching the game the most obvious one. It really looked for the first time in forever, Okay, Elsa like Lebron James was having fun.

00:06:50
Speaker 3: It looked like he was.

00:06:51
Speaker 4: I get it.

00:06:52
Speaker 2: It was his return excited, but there was a different vibe and a different level of fun and excitement from Lebron James. And that's fun and excitement you need to have, I think, to win in this league. When there was too much pressure on Lebron, it wasn't fun and it was all on him. If he's able to dish it around like this, man, they're unstoppable. I've said it prisoner of the moment, but I mean it.

00:07:14
Speaker 4: Let's go well.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: I love that phrase prisoner of the moment because I'm gonna say a very prisoner.

00:07:19
Speaker 4: Of the moment type of thing.

00:07:21
Speaker 2: They're eleven and four. They're not They're not like average. The Lakers are good. But there's a team in the West. You might have heard of him, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who might lose like three games all year. They just don't lose. Okay, see, just doesn't lose. Here's my question. If Lebron's playing fun and we know the end is the year, and I do have the sentiment that when all said and done, Lebron retires, I think we're gonna look back at times and say, you know what, we were hard on him. We didn't really appreciate him. The constant comparisons to Mjay and Kobe and Yo. I know he said and did it to himself with the whole not one, not two, three, four five? Are we still hanging on to that Lebron Miami Heath reconainly, No, Rich, I'm not a Lebron lover.

00:08:08
Speaker 4: I gotta make that clear.

00:08:09
Speaker 2: I'm not a hater either, right, I respect greatness and have admired his career. He kicked off season twenty three. I believe he kicked it off with a three right. Danny g a sweet bucket to kick it off, and that passes Vince Carter most all time, twenty three seasons. You know, when I see him with his Lebron Aham Lincoln beard and it's getting a little gray and he's just rocking that thinned out sort of look, I'm looking at him not with the same lens that I looked at him before, not five, not six, not seven. I'm looking at him now as a guy who has his son in the league. He's having fun. He has the ability to switch his game up. But he has this wisdom about him now and at least like even that look in his face, like he looks older now. And I don't know, man, I'm rooting for him in a different away, like yo, dude, have one, at least one more great season and stick it to this OKAC team. Man, they're young, but he's Lebron, and they have superstars. They've got Luca, They've got Bronni off the bench hitting threes. Oh stop it, don't, don't, don't, don't be making it. Tell like Bronni is like a that's a dope moment. No, but even eight and had twenty points. I didn't even bring that up. He had twenty points. If Lebron's able to dish it around, they made some crazy passes last night. I looked at him as a guy yesterday, to answer your question, old Rich, not a guy that you wanted to roll your eyes at. I looked at him as a guy who we've seen grow up. In fact, we've grown up with together, and he's getting older and I can only root for that. I saw Lebron the man last night, not Lebron the attitude having basketball player Comano. You and I have been together a long time as a radio you know, friendship and partnership. We saw Lebron go from Cleveland to Miami to the Lakers, that we've seen the journey, and I would say, run the boards. I know we play that clip all the time, the not three, not four, not five, not two, not three, not four, not five? Are we still holding it against Lebron his one like because it came across so arrogant and never really came to fruition. They want a few in Miami. But I look at Lebron now and dare I say, as the season continues and Oklahoma City right now in Vegas is a plus one seventy five to win the NBA Finals. They are like like leaps and bounds above anyone else as favorites to win back to back NBA titles. The Lakers won two, three, four five, They're like they got the six best odds at plus fourteen hundred. Could there be a sentiment that the Lebron haters maybe change their tune and it becomes the fun story, like yo, Lebron, one more before it's all done?

00:10:54
Speaker 3: Like yes, could he be a sentiment where.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: If he brings the energy and like he brought upon himself, he shouldn't have to do that, but he does come with that sense of not two, not three, not four, sense of arrogance and and lebron and me bron and things like that. If he plays with the same energy and attitude that he had last night, it's contagious.

00:11:17
Speaker 4: It's likable.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: It's fun when when other people, I mean, it's just I don't know if it's science, but it is. If other people are having fun, you want to have fun with him, and it's contagious.

00:11:30
Speaker 3: What's the theory, it's the Neil Strauss theory. Yeah, Danny J.

00:11:33
Speaker 2: Spot, I was sam everyone listening all the dan Etts and dan Patrick audience. I remember back in the day, there was like, remember like in the two thousands, it was like a hot thing to like have these like dating coaches, not not people have dating coaches, but these guys would write books about how to get the attention to women. Like it's like corny stuff. But there was one thing I remember thinking, all right, that's not corny, that's true, and it was if you're at a bar with your buddies and you guys are laughing and having fun. Somehow women will infiltrate your group because you are having fun when you're having fun and laughing, not even enjoying yourself, like subconscious subconsciously, it's like, what's going on over there?

00:12:12
Speaker 3: What's so funny? What are these guys?

00:12:14
Speaker 2: You're a guess where everyone's eyes go, Camino besides the hot booties. If you're in Vegas, everyone looks at the craps table where everyone's high five.

00:12:24
Speaker 3: And and cheering, like, yeah, what's going on over there?

00:12:26
Speaker 4: Everyone's having fun? I want to get in on that.

00:12:28
Speaker 3: We are.

00:12:29
Speaker 2: We gravitate towards fun and people really, you know, bringing the vibe. And I think Lebron with his mean face in Miami, like yeah, let's go, baby, pounding his chests not two, not three, not four. That's that's a young Lebron. This is a end is near. I got some gray in my beard, I got wisdom. I'm an old dude, you know, like as you know, like he's looking more like Morgan Freeman than like a young man. Now he's he's Lebron's not young, and dude, I noticed that yesterday. Is he an incredible shape? Absolutely? The guy's a specimen. That's not my point. He's not out there hobbling around like an old cream abdul Jabbar or something. This guy's in great and incredible shape. But he doesn't have to be that star anymore, and I think he's accepted that. In fact, Danny G said that he made a gesture and it's sort of implied that maybe we get more out of Lebron because he doesn't have to be everything for everyone because he has other people to play around him. DANYG, you said when he made a gesture, that's sort of what he is conferring.

00:13:29
Speaker 6: When he checked out of the game or was checked out of the game by Reddick, and I'm always gonna call it. Staple Center crowd gave him a standing oh for his passing performance. Basically at the end of the game, he kind of made a gesture like this is what I'm gonna do now because he had more assists than points, and you.

00:13:49
Speaker 2: Know what, if he could unselfishly make that his game, because that's an ego thing too, when you're putting up twenty five to thirty your whole career. Yeah, he's still digits. I think that was the priority, right, Yeah, you help me keep that going. Yeah, but I'm saying, if you could throw ten to fifteen assistant there and maybe score eighteen or score twenty or sixteen, if that's the Lebron game, we forget that Magic Johnson wasn't scoring thirty points a game that's.

00:14:19
Speaker 3: Very similar to Now.

00:14:21
Speaker 2: I made fun of you when you compare him, but that's a very similar to Magic Johnson type of game when we were little kids, scoring points, but more so being a leader out there. And if Lebron could do that with a smile on his face, dare I say that the public, well, all of a sudden, look at Lebron as a face again, Like you know how John Cena just went from good guy to heel back to good guy. Like maybe we see Lebron James go back to good guy. Maybe Lebron James, he won't be gassed. It's not all on him. He's got people he could dish it too. And when I say dish it, we're talking like globe trotter Magic Johnson. Like passes last night, if you didn't see it because it was a late game on the West coast, across the court, he made a sweet pass across the court. Again, I even said it. But Bronni did get in there hit a nice three point shot. You see him fire it up about that. It was a really fun vibe. We're just telling you it's his return. It was a different Lebron last night. It really really was. Again, it's one game and it was the Jazz, the five and what are they five and nine? The five and nine Jazz.

00:15:20
Speaker 6: They have a young team, but you saw him at the start of the game. They had a double digit lead over the Lakers, and I think all Laker fans watching and basketball fans watching around the world were like, ah, look at Lebron's gonna clog things up.

00:15:32
Speaker 4: Here we go.

00:15:33
Speaker 6: The chemistry is not gonna match here. But quickly they figured it out. By the third quarter, they were all clicking together. To go back to Rich's point about the thunder though, Rich, I know you loved to schedule watch. Yeah, let's look at February ninth.

00:15:48
Speaker 1: That is, Rich loves to look at the schedule, schedule watching.

00:15:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh I love looking at the schedule. Danny, please take over.

00:15:57
Speaker 6: Let's hear this the day after the Super Bowl, so two things to look forward to that Sunday and then Monday February ninth, the Lakers host the Thunder. All right, That's that's the real test here, because obviously we're at the very early stages of the NBA season. The Lakers just got blown out by the Thunder and they bounced back with a couple of dub three now double digit wins after that. But they have to do this against a team like the Thunder and if they can't and you.

00:16:23
Speaker 2: Know what, a couple months, a couple months together with this crew now to really gel and say, all right, February that's that's just a date you marked out on the calendar, the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday. Where are the Lakers? If healthy, how do they match up against Okac and Cavino. You know, we talk about fatigue in sports. We got it with the Chiefs, like people are, oh my god, I'm so sick of Tailor and Travis and Mahomes and Andy Reid and that. You know, we talked about that when it came to MVP and Aaron Judge not getting the award and people had Aaron Judge fatigue. It's like, well, guess what, he still deserves the award. I don't care if you're sick of them or not. And you know, the Dodgers, as likable as they are, there was a sense of like most people were like, come on.

00:17:07
Speaker 3: Blue Jays.

00:17:08
Speaker 4: You know.

00:17:09
Speaker 2: I think that people really don't want to see the Okay City, the Oka say thunder win.

00:17:16
Speaker 3: I really don't. I don't think.

00:17:19
Speaker 2: Okay, seein you got.

00:17:23
Speaker 3: To think like gangster, Okay, Okay, she there is.

00:17:29
Speaker 2: I don't think the thunder is like this fan favorite, like yo, we want to see this be a dynasty. I could be wrong, but they don't got the you know when when when all the other dynasties did it, whether it's Golden State.

00:17:42
Speaker 4: Or you know, the Bulls.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: When we were kids, or the Lakers or Celtics, like there was there was a little something more no offense.

00:17:50
Speaker 4: To s g A.

00:17:51
Speaker 2: I don't think any anyone's like, man, I really want to see this team run it back a bunch of times. I think the Lakers, if they faced off against Okay, see down the road, I'm way looking ahead. I do think there's a sentiment that even though the Lakers are this legendary franchise.

00:18:07
Speaker 3: I think people would be rooting for the Lakers. I really do.

00:18:09
Speaker 2: I think that'd be Lebron winning one more is way more appealing than Oka sa great for basketball, it just is. You know, it's it's been overseted, but it's true. When the Lakers are good, the NBA is more exciting, it's better. There's so many franchises in sports like that. Lakers are definitely one of them. And you know, we saw a different side. We're not swinging if you're new to the Coveno on Rich show, we're not swinging from the magic Johnson were James. We're just telling you what we saw last night. And even the criticism he handled with a smile and a smirk and fun. And it was, like I said, it was noticeable. That's why we're pointing at pointing it out. People were asking Reporters were asking him, Yeah, how'd you feel about people questioning how you'd fit in with the chemistry of the team, And like he laughed about it. He's like, come on, man, I could I could win with anybody? He goes, why is that even a question? And he proved it. He proved it yesterday in a big way. If they're able to keep that up, there's no reason why they shouldn't. The Lakers are back in the conversation again, even more so, I should say, because there was question of how's Lebron gonna We questioned it, how long does it take till they build that chemistry? One night yesterday we saw it the Lakers win one six, And the side question besides Lebron's return is why isn't Austin Reeves a bigger star? Well, he's bound to be. He's gonna be, He already should be.

So we call him, you know, Mike who runs this place.

00:23:14
Speaker 4: That's because I do. I mean I already does. Yeah, he actually doesn't run anything. He walks out. I mean, look at him. He's angry all the time. Clearly I do run this place.

00:23:45

00:24:04
Speaker 3: It's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:24:06
Speaker 4: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mic does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

00:24:16
Speaker 1: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

00:24:24
Speaker 4: Special music this morning. Here we go.

00:24:27
Speaker 5: Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

00:24:44
Speaker 3: Here jacket. You're a highjacket, dab Lincoln.

00:24:48
Speaker 4: We're gonna eat a history teacher.

00:24:51
Speaker 5: These are very wise words, and it should be easy to guess, because I'm assuming that there are some listeners out there that still have this memorized when they had to do it in high school.

00:24:59
Speaker 4: And there's some I can't pronounce continuous. Oh yeah, yeah, I do not know that one. I mean, I know it, but I don't know word for word. That's the key. Here, the word for word.

00:25:09
Speaker 6: I'll give it to you. Let me give it to you. One morning I was going to say, I was Sam, crank up the fiddle.

00:25:13
Speaker 4: Here we go. Let's hear it one more time. Pay close attention.

00:25:17
Speaker 5: Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

00:25:31
Speaker 3: All right, Now, get this.

00:25:33
Speaker 2: If you could repeat that word for word, verbatim, you win a prize. Simple as that eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom, or Sam said, behind your back, Mike, turds of wisdom eight seven seven that's behind.

00:25:51
Speaker 4: The scenes story.

00:25:52
Speaker 3: Why not a sermon of the bus.

00:25:53
Speaker 7: Bro I'm sorry, I know, sorry about that. It takes my Mike has my back there, but I feel.

00:25:59
Speaker 5: Like Rodney Danger over here.

00:26:01
Speaker 4: I got no respect.

00:26:02
Speaker 3: Not sure what happened away.

00:26:04
Speaker 2: Some of my favorite presidential fun facts have to do with Abe Lincoln on the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. Fun fact number one. Have you seen Mary Todd? Apparently Abe loved big asses?

00:26:14
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean, who does it?

00:26:16
Speaker 4: Good?

00:26:16
Speaker 2: For eight I've heard this And my favorite story is you know why Abe had a beard?

00:26:21
Speaker 3: This is not a joke. I never read this children's book, but my kid did.

00:26:25
Speaker 2: There was an eleven year old girl named Grace Biddell who said, mister he was running for president like mister Lincoln.

00:26:32
Speaker 4: She wrote him a letter.

00:26:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am sure he wasn't a DM on Instagram. No, I'm pretty sure she had letter. Yeah, and they printed it in the paper. Yeah, she wrote him a letter. Eleven year old girl in eighteen sixty. This girl said, mister Lincoln, I think I think he would look more presidential if you grew a beard.

00:26:51
Speaker 3: And he's like, I think you're right, young girl.

00:26:54
Speaker 2: He grew a beard, became president, and then along his little tour of the then you know, smaller United States. He ends up meeting this girl, thanks her, and it's like a legendary moment. Grace Bedell. I think it's a story that we should all know. When did he start, well, would be the Empires. Yeah, that's what I want. He started slaying vampires, I think the year before he got killed. Yeah all right, Well, if you could repeat that word for word, you'll win a prize and you.

00:27:16
Speaker 4: Become a legend.

00:27:18
Speaker 2: Okay, a Fox Sports radio hero and you got the wisdom of big Micro runs this place now while Danny g gets the phone calls going eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. There was a study from the University of Oxford, and I want to start talking about this while we get the prizes and phone calls going. The study suggests that men should get together with friends at least twice a week, preferably over a few drinks, to maintain good health. Make sure this is true. I mean this is according to an Oxford study. I found a meme, so it has to be true. It's like those remember back in the day, and they were like things like, hey, women, who is sexually satisfy their men are better health.

00:28:03
Speaker 3: What do you information, I'll give it to you.

00:28:05
Speaker 2: Led by psychologist Robin Dunbar, the research found that frequent in person hangout strengthen bonds, improve both physical and mental well being. Men with strong strong social circles are less likely to face depression, recover faster from sickness, enjoy higher endorphin levels, better immune function, and reduced anxiety. However, the study also revealed that about forty percent of men only meet up once a week. I mean, I'm surprised it's that high. Forty percent of men meet up once a week. Dunbar notes that texting or online chats don't provide the same benefits. Real health gains come from spending quality face to face time, whether through sports, joking around, or simply grabbing a beer together. So again, the study finds men should spend at least two nights a week with friends to stay healthy and mentally and physically. I agree, that's one hundred percent. In fact, I know, Camino, you argue that we are lucky and blessed enough to have a job like this, So so do that that fills that bucket for you. Well, it's a great conversation to have now because we just got back from our Bros.

00:29:08
Speaker 4: Trip.

00:29:09
Speaker 2: We went to Arizona to go to a Cardinal's forty nine ers game, and we made it a priority. And I think that's part of it. You have to make a full on initiative out of it. You have to make it like a thing that we're gonna do this once a year. And we've done that with our group of pals. Rich and I had a great time once again, and it is good for the soul to brow it up and leave your worries behind a little bit and have a good time at the game. I was on the groove line leaving my worries behind. I do believe there's some truth to this. Twice a week sounds a bit much, but I think it's necessary in life.

00:29:44
Speaker 3: Sam, what's your thoughts.

00:29:45
Speaker 7: You guys are talking about a group of guys a few months ago, like I think British dudes who would meet up every day or every once a week for like forty some years.

00:29:53
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, I think it is.

00:29:55
Speaker 4: It's good for your It's good for your yes, a psyche, your mental well being for sure.

00:30:00
Speaker 2: Cavino in the past has said, yo, hang with you guys, doing the show that that's all the male bonding I need.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: That's more than I need.

00:30:08
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there's only so much of you I could take rich.

00:30:10
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, that is true, but there is a reason, Like you make fun of me and bust my balls. But that's why I love playing softball. That's why I like doing rex sports. That's why like an energy vampire, you know what I mean, Like you need that you need to suck the energy in life out of everybody else so that you feel good. That's a social butterfly does You're You're That's a clear description of an extroverted person. I'm an outgoing introvert. I don't need that all all the time. I don't need it as much as you. I just need that. Everybody does need it, though just not as often as this study says. Yeah, but that but that dude, camaraderie that I get from playing Sunday softball or you know some guys going you know, play golf every Saturday morning, or playing pickleball or whatever you do. I find that male bonding important the same way I would encourage women to have their ladies' night and girl, I think it's important for women. I always encourage my wife, like, if you want to go on a girls trip, I got the kids, don't worry, go.

00:31:07
Speaker 3: Hang with your friends. You need that time.

00:31:08
Speaker 2: It also justifies how much time you're spending away from home. But there's reasons I think this is necessary. I feel like you lose your edge if you're not hanging out with your buddies. You're not on the inside jokes anymore. You're not as sharp as used to be. I'll explain more, but we got to pick a winner. So your thoughts want to start getting phone calls and thoughts about hanging out and bro time and how necessary it really is to go out and catch the game, have a brew ha ha with your buddies for Thursday night football. How important? Two nights a week sounds a little much? It just does we have We're adults, right, we have lives. Two nights a week. That sounds lot, That sounds exhausting. But I will say, if.

00:31:46
Speaker 3: You say let's go out for a brew haha, you'll have no friends.

00:31:49
Speaker 4: Okay, fair, I will not be going out for a brew haha with you still.

Selena Helostino's anything for I have a question for you, being that I'm down in Texas, the home of all the Selena love. Yeah, if there's no Selena, is there no j Lo?

00:38:19
Speaker 10: You know, there's no easy It's set up really weird. I don't know how to position it properly. And also at the same time, but yeah, off the side.

00:38:26
Speaker 2: You can watch Rememberino and Rich FSR on YouTube.

00:38:29
Speaker 10: All right, all eyes on the on Athanya as the NFL had their first ever game in Madrid on Sunday, as the Dolphins took up the Commanders. But it seems I straight away from the game to the singer of the national anthem facing some backlash for her quote stripper outfit.

00:38:48
Speaker 4: Rich go google it right now.

00:38:49
Speaker 10: Madrid based singer Karina Passion had the honor of singing the national anthem at the game, but her outfit, not her voice, called criticism from fans who saw it as disrespectful. Fans online called to look quote classless. The singer defended her look, saying it was approved by the NFL days before her appearance. Her style is very like cabaret style, so it showed off a lot of a lot of leg and a lot of chest and she.

00:39:17
Speaker 3: As uses it.

00:39:18
Speaker 4: I said.

00:39:18
Speaker 10: So she apologized for offending anyone, as that wasn't her intention. She just wanted to enjoy the experience and have a good time.

00:39:26
Speaker 4: That being said, we all know who she is. So it worked out midweek or major this is mid.

00:39:33
Speaker 2: I had to look it up just to double check look, if we're gonna turn this into an international game, and it is, we have to realize that people have different levels of appropriateness I guess right overseas and in other places. And this is not crossing any lines whatsoever. And if run by the NFL already, and I understand the NFL is very family friendly. I don't see any crime here. You see worse walking down the street. There was a story this from the New York Post at how next level athletic wear is getting like you could see everything.

00:40:08
Speaker 3: It's very revealia.

00:40:09
Speaker 2: You can see all the crevasiers and crevices and lines that you're not supposed to see in public. And you know, if we're seeing that at Whole Foods and we're seeing that walking down the street and at the gym, seeing a woman dressed up, you know, slightly sexy singing in the national anthem in Spain, I think we can handle that.

00:40:28
Speaker 3: It's bad yet. So this is a mid story. This is a week store. Okay, enough up, Rich, I just looked it up.

00:40:38
Speaker 2: This is like a woman going out, like a date night or something, to a fancy restaurant. What do we what is it appropriate about this? Have you never been to the gym. Have you never been out on Halloween? As Camido said, have you ever been to Trader Joe's. You see what people wear nowadays?

00:40:50
Speaker 4: Maybe?

00:40:51
Speaker 3: Have you never been on social media?

00:40:53
Speaker 4: The national anthem.

00:40:54
Speaker 7: It's kind of the garter belt thing, I think is what probably made people upset.

00:40:57
Speaker 3: You know, just got a little strap thing going.

00:41:00
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:41:01
Speaker 3: All right, it's fine whatever, it's a little l apologize for it.

00:41:05
Speaker 2: She had it clear that that's the other week part of the story.

00:41:09
Speaker 3: Oh say, can I see what I like? And I like him? So listen, good week story. Get over it.

00:41:16
Speaker 2: I mean again, you see what you go to a water park and tell me what you say?

00:41:20
Speaker 3: My goodness, people are inappropriate everywhere. This is mild. Next story.

00:41:24
Speaker 4: All right, water park, you say, huh? All right?

00:41:27
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of people at water parks forget what they.

00:41:29
Speaker 10: Lost to spend a lot of time the past couple of hours talking about Lebron.

00:41:32
Speaker 4: Well too, he is in this next story.

00:41:35
Speaker 10: Two notable players will be absent from Team USA's basketball team come twenty twenty eight, as both Lebron and Steph Curry have confirmed they will not participate in the Olympic Games. Odd considering it's right in our backyard, right in Los Angeles. So on his mind the Game podcast that he hosts with Steve Nash, Lebron, when asked, said, you know my answer, I'll be watching it from Cabo, Curry commented recently he was asked, god willing, I still have the choice, the physical option to feel like I can actually impact the team. I never say never, but I highly doubt it. Lebron and Curry were both integral in TSA and twenty twenty four as they both won gold defeating France in Paris, which they both noted, and Lebron of course snagged the MVP honor during that game.

00:42:18
Speaker 2: Midwek or major because of the names involved. It's a major story, it is, and we're talking Olympics. But do I understand one hundred percent? We just talked about how Lebron's in a different stage of his career. This dude needs to rest. He's earned it. It's fine, he's been there, he's done that. There's no need for him to get out there again. Is it a loss for international fans? Yeah, of course. Do we want to see him out there, Yeah of course, But time for other people to step up Steph Curry saying thing, he's thirty seven years old. These dudes need to practice load management any way they can. And if it means dipping out from this, then I'm okay with it because we've seen it before. Time for someone else. Now, this story is major because he nameful nature, but this is just the way that the NBA and basketball has to usher in these new young stars. Making about the new young stars, what are you gonna do? You're gonna go the well, It's like, you know, there was a point where wrestling was wheeling out old ass wrestlers because you know, they were just living off the nostalgia the late Great Hulkogan. You would have these guys that would make an appearance every so often, like you got to move on to the next generation. And you know who got crap for this? Remember Diana Tarassi was taking up a spot for the WNBA and everyone's like, dude, you've been in like eleven All Star Games and it was the Olympics, Like, give.

00:43:35
Speaker 3: A chance to the younger people.

00:43:36
Speaker 2: How much gold do you need lebron unless he's gonna melt it down and sell it at costco, do you? So they have like forty one hundred dollars of bar Now, no, you nailed it, rich Yeah and uh yeah invest in gold everybody, you nailed it. It's a great platform for these other big stars to get recognition to familiar eyes with international fans. So yeah, yeah, it's a great move. I think.

00:43:57
Speaker 10: All right, Uh, soccer legends channel Ronaldo. By the way, I have to politics society, politics society because I know how people get beaming after getting a chance to meet President Donald Trump. So just weeks ago, the star said he'd loved to meet the president. During an interview with Piers Morgan, he said he's one of the people who can change and help change the world, and that's his main objective to meet Trump and talk about world peace.

00:44:18
Speaker 4: Well he got to do it. This week.

00:44:20
Speaker 10: He was invited to the White House for a black tie dinner for the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad al Salmon. Others in attendance included Elon Musk, Apple's Tim Cook. So Ronaldo now plays for the Saudi Pro League, that's why he was invited. Trump spoke about how he got serious cool points with his son, Baron, who's a huge fan of Ronaldo. Trump said Baron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now, just the fact I introduced you. The White House posted an image of Ronaldo walking with the President with the caption two goats midweek or major.

00:44:55
Speaker 2: If there was some Jews to it, it'd be major, but there's really not. It was kind of cool, so I'll say it's mid Trump recently.

00:45:03
Speaker 3: Say I don't like good looking people. Didn't say that recently.

00:45:07
Speaker 2: He did say that, so maybe Ronaldo's slipping a little bit.

00:45:11
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I saw a statue. Yes, it looks bad.

00:45:15
Speaker 2: I don't like how to use the word beaming after seeing Trump. However, you said politics aside. Quite frankly, I don't care about your politics. I feel like, if you ever have the chance to meet any president of our United States, you take that honor, whether you agree or disagree with him. Rich I've never met a president. I mean, i've seen a president like out in the bout. We worked at Series six M and we've seen a few presidents. You've got a chance to meet a president. I think it's an honor, and I applaud Ronaldo for feeling the same.

00:45:46
Speaker 4: I think it's a.

00:45:48
Speaker 2: Again, because says no real juice to it. I'm a Cavino. It's mid but it is. It is cool to see Ronaldo wanted to meet Donald Trump.

00:45:58
Speaker 3: What a wild combination that.

00:46:00
Speaker 2: I'm sure Donald was more excited to see his beautiful wife, Georgina Crow. So you know what better than meet the President that have him call you a piggy?

00:46:09
Speaker 4: I guess right, Quiet, all right, Nagan.

00:46:14
Speaker 10: As you know, Josh Naylor just signed a new five year, ninety two point five million dollar contract with the Mariners, and Naylor citing one of the key factors in his decision to stay with Seattle, and that's the clubhouse dog, Tucker. Naylor was traded to the Mariners from the Diamondbacks ahead of the twenty twenty five trade deadline, playing just fifty four games with the Mariners going on to the postseason, and he said a big part of him feeling right at home, aside from his teammates and fans, was Tucker. He said it created a great vibe in the clubhouse, put him over the edge based on the joy that it brought, and he said, quote, I love that little guy. Naylor promised to continue to give back to the fan base and his teammates, saying that he hopes to bring the franchise of World Series win in the next five years and says that he loves would love to spend the rest of his career in Seattle, raise a family there.

00:47:01
Speaker 4: Midweaker major.

00:47:03
Speaker 2: So when he said he likes to hang with his dog, he actually met the dog. Yeah, he meant the dog ta. I thought he meant like one of his team.

00:47:08
Speaker 4: No, I don't know you met the dog.

00:47:09
Speaker 3: The dog. I think it's a man, cal Rowley. I thought he met cal Rawley's big dumber.

00:47:15
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:47:16
Speaker 3: It's a it's a mid story that.

00:47:19
Speaker 4: Nothing's moving a needle for you today.

00:47:21
Speaker 3: I mean, it just is.

00:47:22
Speaker 2: It's nothing on you. It's no reflection of the stories out there. Josh Nailer is a good player staying with Seattle. What more can I say about it? It's because of the dog. I mean, I love dogs too. I'll tell you what more you could say about it. I think it's I think it's great and people love dogs for some reason. I love dogs, but I mean like people love their pets.
