Can't complain, man, it's been a blessing. So, uh, just
you know, rinding down twenty twenty five. Yeah, my Christmas
present was last night? What was that three interception by
Matthew Stafford. You know, it's funny. So I didn't get

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Mind you the man for all of you on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Bron sideways and you look like a Bible head, real
and real serious. Your wife is not happy, No she's not.
I know she's not. Don't nobody want all that living
with all that you over here.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Yeah, she's like she's over here trying to bounce back
from two kids stressed out all the time, not sleeping.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm like, hey, you took it.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
He didn't work out, Robber, Let's do it together.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
He took me right.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I know she is the expressway. When my family leaves,
I got a couch for you. Bro actually went.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now my sister left. You come on over all right,
Steve the Seger's at the anchor desk. He'll keep us
updated throughout the program.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And of course never heard of him. Elijah. See somebody
checking for concussion protocol. I know, Elijah, he's okay. That
lamp fell on his head. He's in the blue tint right,
and he's Jackson dark looking. The bad part is he's
the way I do digital. He that light hit him
on the head. You know where you kind of forget
where you are and you're going to another spear or whatever.
(06:34):
He now thinks he's doing a bad radio show for
social media. So he so now he ain't gonna know
what should he think he's doing? Saying, rob get them
all out now.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Twenty twenty five is starting twenty twenty six, Fresh No
get them all out.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I didn't say he was doing any show on this network.
This is filled with great shress making sure good enough? Okay,
all right. I do want to say that for over
forty years, tirack dot com has been helping customers find
the right tires for us, how what where they drive.
That's why ship fast and free back by free Road
(07:07):
has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installations where they come to you. That's right, tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. Okay, let's
go here, Rob g. The numbers are out and they're
not great. The All Star numbers for one Lebron James,
Lebron Jabron James, Lebron James. This might be the worst
(07:32):
birthday president in the history of.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Cause today's birthday, right, forty one years of Happy birthday, Lo.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I was gonna say fifty one, wow, forty one. Yeah,
Well listen, depending on the play, he looks fifty one.
There are some players out there.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's the only reason I Saiday can't.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Move and that might primarily be the reason why for
his forty first birthday, he was gifted the latest, the
first edition of the NBA All Star Game voting and
Lebron James, arguably the greatest player in NBA history, what
could be his final season in the NBA. We're expecting
the retirement tour, the Kobe Bryant. They don't love you
(08:09):
like that. You don't get the kind of love. Apparently
Lebron don't get the kind of love because he's finishing
right now fifteenth in NBA All Star voting, behind such
superstars as Trailblazers forward Denny Avjiya Kazunta.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Who is right?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Who?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
So if the voting in it today they have this
weird process. Maybe he gets in, maybe he doesn't. But
the idea that Lebron James could not be voted in
the NBA All Star Game for the first time in
over twenty years very real.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I got a message for Lebron James. Is this on?
It's on, Lebron James, give the fans a middle finger,
oh my? And if they do you somehow get in,
like by the skin of your teeth, do not show up,
do not partake. How dare they disrespect you? And what
(09:00):
could possibly be your last year? This is just an exhibition.
This ain't no real basketball. It's an exhibition and worse,
it's in Los Angeles the All Star Game. I know
it's into it, don't right, but it's in Los Angeles,
so fans couldn't look at this and go, well, this
could be his last one. It's in LA. Let's, you know,
(09:23):
do this for his lifetime achievement. It ain't like that.
If this was we put the best numbers in the
computer and they give you a number and those are
the people make the All Star then fine, he doesn't
belong there an exhibition game. Do you know that when
Magic Johnson wasn't in the league, the league put Magic
(09:43):
Johnson in the All Star Game? I covered it in Orlando,
oh ninety three. Yeah, yeah, after the HIV. But but
my point is, if you're Lebron, you should not really
be thrilled about what this is, how this is transpired,
(10:04):
because it ain't that real. And the idea that they're
really going to vote who's the guy you just said,
Rob g who's ahead of them? Seriously something Yukovich Danovich
from Portland? I don't know, but you get my point, like,
really is that what we are? Come on? Man? So
if I'm Lebron James, no matter what, if I skin
(10:27):
on my teeth or whatever. Do not and ot participate.
Thank you very much for being this disrespectful after all
these years. Yes, I'm here telling Lebron James do not
partake in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
First of all, what in the world are you doing
defiting Lebron? I take a few days off and I
don't know who you are. The heck is this thing on?
Is that Ron Parker next to me? What is going on?
I'll say this, this is what I don't even know
we're doing right now. You say, I don't ever talk
about Lebron.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Wrong, dang it. If this can happen to Michael Jordan,
this can happen to Lebron. This happened to Michael Jordan.
Fans did not vote him in.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Of course, the coaches put him in, and they put
throw him in the game, and uh Vince Carter Isaiah
Thomas has to convince him. Hey, fans, come on, man,
you know Michael Jordan's last game.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Let him start? Okay, cool? No, produ you know, and
he let him start.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
My point is Michael Jordan's Michael Jordan, and it happened
to him, Lebron, and you know how I feel about him.
He ain't that and this can happen to him. It's
possible for anybody. So to me, I don't view it
as a as a the indictment on the fans. I
think it's just where we are. He's missed a bunch
of games already this season. I think fourteen of them.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Did you hear the difference between the person that you
mentioned in place of Michael Jordan compared to the guy
who's in front of him now from Portland, from the Trailblazer.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I did, okay, I did, okay, And I mean one
of us if we played who he played for, could
name him again?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Okay, I can't. I don't know his name. I don't
know who that is. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And maybe if he played all the games, we might
be having a different thing because you've seen more. Maybe
there's more plays you can remember all that. Donky did this,
But I don't take it as an old big indictment.
But what I think is gonna happen where I kinda
will meet you halfway. I think Lebron might announce retirement
at the All Star Game. That would be Lebron of
Lebron to go be a little disgrunted. Didn't get voted
(12:20):
in by the fans after all I've done for you
twenty something seasons.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Just what I am, you know, da da da da.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And then to take the moment, Hey, Lebron, you know
we're not starting, you're not playing the game right now,
but what an honor you know you're in.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
The coaches put you in.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Interviewing him so many years and I could totally see
him saying, you know, well, you know, yeah, I appreciate
the fans here to let the young boys do what
they do. And by the way, you know it's good
because it's gonna be my last one. I can because
it's happened in LA. Because the way the offseason win
and the Lakers and him having some you know, little
disagreements and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Knowing the future is Luca.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Then't get the fans are saying, we'd rather have Austin
Reeves than you, or we'd rather trade you to go
get such and such. I could see Lebron make it
this moment taking I'm gonna take a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You don't want to give me this moment.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I'm gonna take this whole, entire All Star moment in
LA and announcestand that's what I can say, I.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Think the best way for Lebron is to snub everybody,
the NBA, the fans, all this other stuff, to let
them know that I see what you've done here, the
idea that this could be my last All Star game.
And I'm still playing at the numbers that they put up,
that he puts up All Star numbers. Okay, the numbers,
(13:29):
this is what these numbers. I'm still doing it at
a high level at this age. Whatever you want, you know,
which one is it? I mean and and and I
just think that to me rather than going along with
it and kind of going there as a parting gift.
And the tail tuck between your legs is totally different. Then,
(13:52):
because Michael Jordan was on the Wizards, a bad Wizards team,
you know what I mean, that didn't even make the
playoffs two years he was there. Lebron's on this team
with Luca. Look at the look at the numbers for Luca.
Luca's in the top. Of course, he could be a starter.
So those same Laker fans decided not to vote for Lebron.
(14:14):
Well the other way. They decided to vote for Luca
and Austin Reeves. No, but they decided they could also
vote for Lebron as well, and they decided not to. Okay,
And the other part is we're all his minions. We're
all these people who will they won't wear his sneakers,
but they'll die at the barbershop about Lebron James. Where
are those people that he would be so far down?
(14:37):
He's still viable, He's still I remember last postseason, I
wouldn't want to see Lebron and Luca. I'm telling you, oh, well,
I would look at these teams, who would you'd rather
take Lebron? And that was just last year. And now
they don't even think he could play in an exhibition game.
Come on, it was all good just a week ago.
Like jay Z said, I just think it's like the.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Rams who had the top spy. Hey, hey, sports like that.
We're talking about discause they're in LA, don't we're talking
about them?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Just telling you all right?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
No, But I just think, yeah, I think it's happened
to Jordan, it can clearly happen in Lebron. And also
I just will be I keep an eye on him
that weekend. That would be very Lebron. Of Lebron to
take that moment in LA and make it about him.
I could totally see that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. If he doesn't
get voted in, should Lebron James boycott the upcoming NBA
All Star Game? I'm with it, Bron, don't go. Nah,
you can't do that. Stiff the fans, stiff the league.
We'll continue that conversation next with you. That's right, that's
(15:41):
Rob Parker talking, Rob Parker, Kelvin Washington, Parker talking Tuesday
right here on Fox Sports Radio. And you know what
you need to do? What's that stick? And stay Rob?

Fox Sports Radio what's up, Solomon.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Hey man, I'm good Man, Happy New York to YouTube.
Thank you and the health and the healthy one.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Thank you much YouTube.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Thank you. I appreciate that. I understand your feeling about
Lebon boycotting the All Star Game. Here's the problem with Tantsa.
I'm a Laker fan since the West Rail days. You
have to delineate between the person and the player. As
a player, Lebron is still relevant. Thank god the Lakers
have him now. With Reads going down, they'd be completely
(18:12):
in the toilet without him. He deserves to be an
All Star. Absolutely. You may not like him off the court.
I'm not real silly within either, but as a basketball player,
the man deserves to be in the All Star Game. Period.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It's an exhibition, Solomon. It ain't even really for real,
It's an exhibition. And that's why I'm saying. If I'm Lebron,
I'm gonna give the fans a middle finger. That's what
I'm gonna do. Hey, y'all, thanks for rocking with me
for twenty some years. But blank Yard, Now, come on, Lebron.
You can't be like that one time. It don't go
your way. You can't do that, Rob come on Rob
Tony Robe. You're on the couple, are right?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Tony?
Speaker 9 (18:52):
I almost drove off the road hearing this first back boys,
wake up and now my man fifty grand Rob Parker,
Queens New York's Finest is taking.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
A stant Rob Parker, you need to stop. This is
the same Lebron James that told Cheryl Miller Dreams More
name of the contest next year and never show up.
This is the same Lebron James when Larry Bird gave
it a passion speech to the east locker room for
you guys, let's go out here telling the show for
the fans.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
And rolled his eyes and then proceeded to have.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
A damn space jam score when Larry bring Doctor Jays
sitting on the sideline.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
This is the same Lebron James didn't even.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Dress out last year and now you want to get
the fans of the middle fingers.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
He's not even the main character and his on team anymore.
He is a guest that is overstated.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Is welcome at the family house? Okay, get out way, No.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Wow, there you go, Tony.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
I'm not going to be the fat boys breakup.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I know I'm not going to be mad at you.
Your take is fine. I'm just saying, Uh, the guy
from Portland, Rob g what was his name? Because I
don't know who to that is, but he's ahead of Lebron? Really?
Is that what we're doing? That's a word of shack.
I'm not familiar with the game. I'm sorry. I'll forgive me.
I'm not familiar, but I want to ask you a
question on national television, Tim in the Inland Empire, My man,
(20:14):

Speaker 2 (21:48):
That sounds like a woman I knew in Hawaii what'd
you say.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Chris Mohonnah, I can't even Mohonna Khan.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That's definitely went the high schol was on the Odd
Couple crew. Yeah, yeah, I definitely went to high schooler.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Any thoughts on the All Star Game put a little
button on it for us.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
We're talking Lebron not getting voted in right now, he's
these fifteenth. The way it'll shake out with these two remembers,
the two different teams they're doing it. He'll probably make it,
but it is your thoughts. Rob said, give him the
middle finger up.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, he should give the fans a middle finger that,
you know, like really, like, I'm not gonna be here.
It's in LA. This could be my last All Star Game.
It's an exhibition. I mean, come on, really.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I say he's gonna play you from and I mean
he's gonna accept the invitation once the you know, coaches
get him there, and then he's gonna announce his retirement.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Well I don't know about all that, but what I
do know is it's USA versus the world, right, Yes,
in the USA, it's trouble brother, oh man, oh my goodness.
Oh we're in trouble. I don't care who on our team.
It's a bunch of old dudes and a couple of
young guns. But they don't put well Nicole Y with THEE.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Hyper that changes things a little bit, depending on how
he is, how healthy he is.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
So uh but you look at k you look at
you know the world. Oh my god, good lord, all.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
The all the m VP the last five years, the
last five years, the top three m v P players.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
We'll be playing against the US old steph Old, Lebron, Rambled,
kd Old, everybody. So good luck to us that they
played hard this year.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You ain't got no hope, you ain't got no faith.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
They want to be embarrassed. Hey R forty yes, uh yeah,
we saw the wobbley football. Let's go here last night.
I mean really, the Rams season has blown up in
their face. Ten days ago from there were the number
one seed in the NFC and Matthew Stafford was the
(23:59):
greatest thing since I spread. They were up thirty to
fourteen in Seattle. Right that was there. They were gonna
make their statement win and all that with so much
riding on it. They blow that game. They go to
Atlanta down twenty one to nothing Stafford with three picks
all that. Just what do you make of where the
Rams are? And now their road to the Super Bowl
(24:19):
that looked very bright ten days ago looks very murky.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah, it looks very murky. And you know it's uncharacteristic
of Sean McVay team Matthew Stafford just to come down
the stretch and just falter like they've been faltering. I mean,
like you said, three weeks ago, the Rams were the
toast of the town. And now they got if they
gonna get to the Bowl, they gotta work. They gotta
work hard. Not to say they can't do it, but
(24:44):
they got some things that they need to fix up,
like the turning over. We can't turn the ball over
like that. Atlanta came out with something to prove d
John Robinson put the world on notice like he is
that guy, and Kirk Cousins wondered everybody, No, I'm not
done yet, right. These guys are playing for position, I
mean next year, and Kirk Cousins is playing for a job. Uh.
You know, Atlanta owes him a lot of money still,
(25:06):
but he's letting them know. Look, Michael Pendix Jr. I
don't know we don't know what's going on with his knees.
The third a cl surgery. You're already paying me, so
let me go out here and do my thing. And
and he's played well. I think they won three in
a row, yep, the last three games. And I would
presume that they're going into this final game and they
gonna want to win. So anybody playing, I forgot who
(25:28):
who do they play this weekend coming up? But that's
that's gonna be a tough out for whoever that is.
And I hope that team doesn't need a playoff positioning.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I thought the Falcons cut out their appendix.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I mean, here you go, here you go, they play.
I'm gonna pull us up, keep going, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Okay, Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
There's a yet, there's a there's a bunch of different
conversations too. Looking up. You're talking about this last week.
You got some huge games coming up. I know it's
early is Tuesday, but you got still Delers Ravens fighting
for that division. H DK metcalf a lot of people
mad at him. You know you're going up in the
stands now. We don't have you for two games, including
this one. What do you make of this?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
One who who who do you see coming out?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And maybe who needs it obviously to get in the postseason,
but more so long term.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Well I think long term, I think the Steelers needed
more so than the Ravens is we're not sure if
Lamar Jackson playing, we don't even know playing, then you
scratched that off the list of Lamartin needs playoff wins.
He needs to be good in the postseason. He hasn't
been good all season, so if he were to get
into the postseason to make a deep run and make
it to the super Bowl, you can e raise a
(26:38):
lot of wrong. Sure you're going to eraise a lot
of wrongs with one big right. But for the Steelers,
they needed I think they needed. I think, uh this
is what they brought Aaron Rodgers there for. They need
to get into the playoffs, but they also needed a
playoff victory. And and DK metcalf, I mean, that's an
understatement of how important and impactful uh it gesture was. Look,
(27:01):
and I know Dk, I love, DK's a good friend
of mine. But you just can't do that. You can't.
And what happens is when you're playing a team sport
and you do something selfish no matter what it is,
it has direct ramifications on the team. They win that
game this past weekend, if against the Browns, if DK's there,
I mean, there is no other target on that to
(27:25):
throw a fifty to fifty ball to. For all the marbles,
it's just not there. It won't be there next week.
So unless that defense gets really the the Stellers defense
get really good and being able to stop King Henry
because they just gonna give them the ball no matter what.
They're just gonna feed them the ball and say, hey man,
we're gonna ride your back, especially if Snoop Huntley is
the quarterback. And so the Steelers need this more Mike
(27:48):
Tomlin needs it. I think Dka needs them to get
into the playoffs so he can erase everybody's memory if
he goes into the playoffs and helps them get into
at least the divisional round of the playoffs. So for me,
the Steelers needed to really do this.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I think Aaron Glenn should be fired with the Jets.
And I'm dead serious. I thought, what their performance this
past week was embarrassed. Awful, was embarrassed. And I said
the same thing, and you know I've said this all year.
We both agree. I didn't think Pete Carroll should have
gotten that job in Las Vegas. Another guy who should
(28:26):
be fired. Awful. The Raiders, they don't do anything right.
The Jets don't do anything right. I just don't understand
how teams can be that bad. I'm not saying they
should win the division or something, but be competitive, right.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
You're right, and those games have been not very competitive.
The Raiders, Max Crosby's pissed off best player, and for
the Jets, I just don't know. The worst thing they
did was fire Robert Salad. That's the worst thing they did,
because at least the Jets showed up and they played hard. Now,
Roberts and the Aaron Rodgers experiment that didn't work. But
(29:02):
Robert Salad was one of those coaches that was changing
the culture, and they were playing extremely well with their
young with their young team under Robert Salad. I don't
know if Aaron Glynn is the right guy, but you know,
I'm pretty sure they're gonna give him one more year
to see what he does in the draft and to
see if he can put a viable team out there.
(29:23):
But it is it's disrespectful to the league.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It really is and speaking of disrespectful, I you know,
the Philip Rivers thing never sat right with me because
the one thing I hate about your league, Ephraim, is
the cronyism, the nepotism and the stuff that goes on.
I know, and it's awful. And I've said this to
Kelvin a million times. It's something that really bothers me
(29:47):
because a lot of those opportunities on given. If a
brother gets hired as a head coach, he can't hire
his whole family and all this kind of stuff and
his friends and whatnot. They would not allow it. But
you go look Pete Carroll's sons on his staff, Andy Reid,
Bill Belichick's kids, all that stuff. Who's the coach? I
always forget his name with the with the Kansas City
(30:09):
Chiefs who didn't even play football. My god, rob No
with the Kansas City Chiefs, rob Gie No, his kid,
his kid didn't play any didn't play football right, like
college or anything. Todd Haley and he made it Todd Haley,
but his dad was a big time executive in the NFL.
(30:29):
He became an NFL head coach. Never played high school football,
never played college football.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Seriously, yeah, it happened. The lead, they run do what
they want to do it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
So that's why that's why the Philip Rivers thing bothered me.
And for people say, well, he didn't do that bad, No, no,
he did terrible because the reason to bring him in
from way right, and they didn't win any games. They
could have put that kid in d and he could
have lost all three games. Seriously, what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
He was talking? Yeah, I think he probably it was
a good story and got eyeballs watching, but I think
Leondar would have gave him a better opportunity to win.
But you look, look they've done that before when they
hired just Saturday from at All. Yeah, we talked about
that at some point. You get what you get. Man.
You keep making stupid choices, you get stupid answers and consquences.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And one other and the Sauce Gardener trade when they
gave up to first round pick. Look at where they are,
Look at how this season blew up in their face.
They were eight and one.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, they dropped the ball. There, they dropped the ball.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
It was crazy, is too in that division now the
Jacks are the toast of that division and the Texans
who have won eight straight.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
The Jagson won seventh straight.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
When you talked about the last crazy nine weeks and
so what we not saw happening before that?
Speaker 2 (31:48):

Trust me, I know. Speaking of stacking up days, today
is Tiger Wood's birthday. Give it up for Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods, Happy birthday to him. Yeah, I feel like
(36:41):
hitting him with a club. That would be good for him. Well,
that's the reason why we brought this up, Rod because
his legacy is cemented as arguably the greatest golfer of
all time. He's a billionaire, he's one of the greatest
athletes in the world. Yet he is responsible for breaking
up your marriage, and so we would have to say,
what did you have to say to him? Now he's
fifty years old, and you know you have beef with
(37:02):
him because you couldn't you couldn't had to watch him
during the Masters.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yes, fifty years old. I was how old was he then?
Twenty eight? That I was a long time.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I got tired.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I got married in nineteen ninety seven, and we're in
Japan at a very expensive hotel. Five hundred dollars a
night in nineteen ninety seven. That was a lot of
it's big money then, am I right? That's big hotel?
Five wow, the Nwatani Hotel. And I should have been
consummating the marriage, and instead I was watching him tee
(37:35):
off and you was supposed to t and off exactly.
Look at that, all types of hey, yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
And nine iron you out here watching Tiger.

from two kids stressed out all the time, not sleeping.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm like, hey, you took it.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
He didn't work out, Robber, Let's do it together.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
He took me right.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I know she is the expressway. When my family leaves,
I got a couch for you. Bro actually went.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now my sister left. You come on over all right,
Steve the Seger's at the anchor desk. He'll keep us
updated throughout the program.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And of course never heard of him. Elijah. See somebody
checking for concussion protocol. I know, Elijah, he's okay. That
lamp fell on his head. He's in the blue tint right,
and he's Jackson dark looking. The bad part is he's
the way I do digital. He that light hit him
on the head. You know where you kind of forget
where you are and you're going to another spear or whatever.
(06:34):
He now thinks he's doing a bad radio show for
social media. So he so now he ain't gonna know
what should he think he's doing? Saying, rob get them
all out now.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Twenty twenty five is starting twenty twenty six, Fresh No
get them all out.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I didn't say he was doing any show on this network.
This is filled with great shress making sure good enough? Okay,
all right. I do want to say that for over
forty years, tirack dot com has been helping customers find
the right tires for us, how what where they drive.
That's why ship fast and free back by free Road
(07:07):
has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installations where they come to you. That's right, tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. Okay, let's
go here, Rob g. The numbers are out and they're
not great. The All Star numbers for one Lebron James,
Lebron Jabron James, Lebron James. This might be the worst
(07:32):
birthday president in the history of.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Cause today's birthday, right, forty one years of Happy birthday, Lo.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I was gonna say fifty one, wow, forty one. Yeah,
Well listen, depending on the play, he looks fifty one.
There are some players out there.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's the only reason I Saiday can't.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Move and that might primarily be the reason why for
his forty first birthday, he was gifted the latest, the
first edition of the NBA All Star Game voting and
Lebron James, arguably the greatest player in NBA history, what
could be his final season in the NBA. We're expecting
the retirement tour, the Kobe Bryant. They don't love you
(08:09):
like that. You don't get the kind of love. Apparently
Lebron don't get the kind of love because he's finishing
right now fifteenth in NBA All Star voting, behind such
superstars as Trailblazers forward Denny Avjiya Kazunta.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Who is right?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Who?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
So if the voting in it today they have this
weird process. Maybe he gets in, maybe he doesn't. But
the idea that Lebron James could not be voted in
the NBA All Star Game for the first time in
over twenty years very real.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I got a message for Lebron James. Is this on?
It's on, Lebron James, give the fans a middle finger,
oh my? And if they do you somehow get in,
like by the skin of your teeth, do not show up,
do not partake. How dare they disrespect you? And what
(09:00):
could possibly be your last year? This is just an exhibition.
This ain't no real basketball. It's an exhibition and worse,
it's in Los Angeles the All Star Game. I know
it's into it, don't right, but it's in Los Angeles,
so fans couldn't look at this and go, well, this
could be his last one. It's in LA. Let's, you know,
(09:23):
do this for his lifetime achievement. It ain't like that.
If this was we put the best numbers in the
computer and they give you a number and those are
the people make the All Star then fine, he doesn't
belong there an exhibition game. Do you know that when
Magic Johnson wasn't in the league, the league put Magic
(09:43):
Johnson in the All Star Game? I covered it in Orlando,
oh ninety three. Yeah, yeah, after the HIV. But but
my point is, if you're Lebron, you should not really
be thrilled about what this is, how this is transpired,
(10:04):
because it ain't that real. And the idea that they're
really going to vote who's the guy you just said,
Rob g who's ahead of them? Seriously something Yukovich Danovich
from Portland? I don't know, but you get my point, like,
really is that what we are? Come on? Man? So
if I'm Lebron James, no matter what, if I skin
(10:27):
on my teeth or whatever. Do not and ot participate.
Thank you very much for being this disrespectful after all
these years. Yes, I'm here telling Lebron James do not
partake in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
First of all, what in the world are you doing
defiting Lebron? I take a few days off and I
don't know who you are. The heck is this thing on?
Is that Ron Parker next to me? What is going on?
I'll say this, this is what I don't even know
we're doing right now. You say, I don't ever talk
about Lebron.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Wrong, dang it. If this can happen to Michael Jordan,
this can happen to Lebron. This happened to Michael Jordan.
Fans did not vote him in.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Of course, the coaches put him in, and they put
throw him in the game, and uh Vince Carter Isaiah
Thomas has to convince him. Hey, fans, come on, man,
you know Michael Jordan's last game.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Let him start? Okay, cool? No, produ you know, and
he let him start.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
My point is Michael Jordan's Michael Jordan, and it happened
to him, Lebron, and you know how I feel about him.
He ain't that and this can happen to him. It's
possible for anybody. So to me, I don't view it
as a as a the indictment on the fans. I
think it's just where we are. He's missed a bunch
of games already this season. I think fourteen of them.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Did you hear the difference between the person that you
mentioned in place of Michael Jordan compared to the guy
who's in front of him now from Portland, from the Trailblazer.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I did, okay, I did, okay, And I mean one
of us if we played who he played for, could
name him again?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Okay, I can't. I don't know his name. I don't
know who that is. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And maybe if he played all the games, we might
be having a different thing because you've seen more. Maybe
there's more plays you can remember all that. Donky did this,
But I don't take it as an old big indictment.
But what I think is gonna happen where I kinda
will meet you halfway. I think Lebron might announce retirement
at the All Star Game. That would be Lebron of
Lebron to go be a little disgrunted. Didn't get voted
(12:20):
in by the fans after all I've done for you
twenty something seasons.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Just what I am, you know, da da da da.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And then to take the moment, Hey, Lebron, you know
we're not starting, you're not playing the game right now,
but what an honor you know you're in.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
The coaches put you in.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Interviewing him so many years and I could totally see
him saying, you know, well, you know, yeah, I appreciate
the fans here to let the young boys do what
they do. And by the way, you know it's good
because it's gonna be my last one. I can because
it's happened in LA. Because the way the offseason win
and the Lakers and him having some you know, little
disagreements and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Knowing the future is Luca.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Then't get the fans are saying, we'd rather have Austin
Reeves than you, or we'd rather trade you to go
get such and such. I could see Lebron make it
this moment taking I'm gonna take a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You don't want to give me this moment.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I'm gonna take this whole, entire All Star moment in
LA and announcestand that's what I can say, I.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Think the best way for Lebron is to snub everybody,
the NBA, the fans, all this other stuff, to let
them know that I see what you've done here, the
idea that this could be my last All Star game.
And I'm still playing at the numbers that they put up,
that he puts up All Star numbers. Okay, the numbers,
(13:29):
this is what these numbers. I'm still doing it at
a high level at this age. Whatever you want, you know,
which one is it? I mean and and and I
just think that to me rather than going along with
it and kind of going there as a parting gift.
And the tail tuck between your legs is totally different. Then,
(13:52):
because Michael Jordan was on the Wizards, a bad Wizards team,
you know what I mean, that didn't even make the
playoffs two years he was there. Lebron's on this team
with Luca. Look at the look at the numbers for Luca.
Luca's in the top. Of course, he could be a starter.
So those same Laker fans decided not to vote for Lebron.
(14:14):
Well the other way. They decided to vote for Luca
and Austin Reeves. No, but they decided they could also
vote for Lebron as well, and they decided not to. Okay,
And the other part is we're all his minions. We're
all these people who will they won't wear his sneakers,
but they'll die at the barbershop about Lebron James. Where
are those people that he would be so far down?
(14:37):
He's still viable, He's still I remember last postseason, I
wouldn't want to see Lebron and Luca. I'm telling you, oh, well,
I would look at these teams, who would you'd rather
take Lebron? And that was just last year. And now
they don't even think he could play in an exhibition game.
Come on, it was all good just a week ago.
Like jay Z said, I just think it's like the.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Rams who had the top spy. Hey, hey, sports like that.
We're talking about discause they're in LA, don't we're talking
about them?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Just telling you all right?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
No, But I just think, yeah, I think it's happened
to Jordan, it can clearly happen in Lebron. And also
I just will be I keep an eye on him
that weekend. That would be very Lebron. Of Lebron to
take that moment in LA and make it about him.
I could totally see that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. If he doesn't
get voted in, should Lebron James boycott the upcoming NBA
All Star Game? I'm with it, Bron, don't go. Nah,
you can't do that. Stiff the fans, stiff the league.
We'll continue that conversation next with you. That's right, that's

Speaker 7 (17:44):
Hey man, I'm good Man, Happy New York to YouTube.
Thank you and the health and the healthy one.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Thank you much YouTube.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Thank you. I appreciate that. I understand your feeling about
Lebon boycotting the All Star Game. Here's the problem with Tantsa.
I'm a Laker fan since the West Rail days. You
have to delineate between the person and the player. As
a player, Lebron is still relevant. Thank god the Lakers
have him now. With Reads going down, they'd be completely
(18:12):
in the toilet without him. He deserves to be an
All Star. Absolutely. You may not like him off the court.
I'm not real silly within either, but as a basketball player,
the man deserves to be in the All Star Game. Period.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It's an exhibition, Solomon. It ain't even really for real,
It's an exhibition. And that's why I'm saying. If I'm Lebron,
I'm gonna give the fans a middle finger. That's what
I'm gonna do. Hey, y'all, thanks for rocking with me
for twenty some years. But blank Yard, Now, come on, Lebron.
You can't be like that one time. It don't go
your way. You can't do that, Rob come on Rob
Tony Robe. You're on the couple, are right?
Speaker 4 (18:50):

Speaker 9 (18:52):
I almost drove off the road hearing this first back boys,
wake up and now my man fifty grand Rob Parker,
Queens New York's Finest is taking.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
A stant Rob Parker, you need to stop. This is
the same Lebron James that told Cheryl Miller Dreams More
name of the contest next year and never show up.
This is the same Lebron James when Larry Bird gave
it a passion speech to the east locker room for
you guys, let's go out here telling the show for
the fans.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
And rolled his eyes and then proceeded to have.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
A damn space jam score when Larry bring Doctor Jays
sitting on the sideline.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
This is the same Lebron James didn't even.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Dress out last year and now you want to get
the fans of the middle fingers.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
He's not even the main character and his on team anymore.
He is a guest that is overstated.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Is welcome at the family house? Okay, get out way, No.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Wow, there you go, Tony.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
I'm not going to be the fat boys breakup.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I know I'm not going to be mad at you.
Your take is fine. I'm just saying, Uh, the guy
from Portland, Rob g what was his name? Because I
don't know who to that is, but he's ahead of Lebron? Really?
Is that what we're doing? That's a word of shack.
I'm not familiar with the game. I'm sorry. I'll forgive me.
I'm not familiar, but I want to ask you a
question on national television, Tim in the Inland Empire, My man,
(20:14):
you're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Tim?
Speaker 10 (20:17):
Uh caupo? What's up?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
How are yo yo?
Speaker 11 (20:20):
I had to call when we're talking bad about Lebron?
Speaker 12 (20:22):
I just it's an annual thing, Liza, I have to listen. Rob,
You're so wrong, nobody I want him there. How you
to boy clot something that he wasn't invited to? You
ever heard of that Chris rock joke when he hosted
the Oscars about when they boycotted Oscar so White. He's like,
Jada said, Oh, I ain't gonna go to the Oscar.
He's like, it's like Lehanna telling me, oh I go,

Speaker 1 (21:55):
That's definitely went the high schol was on the Odd
Couple crew. Yeah, yeah, I definitely went to high schooler.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Any thoughts on the All Star Game put a little
button on it for us.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
We're talking Lebron not getting voted in right now, he's
these fifteenth. The way it'll shake out with these two remembers,
the two different teams they're doing it. He'll probably make it,
but it is your thoughts. Rob said, give him the
middle finger up.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, he should give the fans a middle finger that,
you know, like really, like, I'm not gonna be here.
It's in LA. This could be my last All Star Game.
It's an exhibition. I mean, come on, really.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I say he's gonna play you from and I mean
he's gonna accept the invitation once the you know, coaches
get him there, and then he's gonna announce his retirement.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Well I don't know about all that, but what I
do know is it's USA versus the world, right, Yes,
in the USA, it's trouble brother, oh man, oh my goodness.
Oh we're in trouble. I don't care who on our team.
It's a bunch of old dudes and a couple of
young guns. But they don't put well Nicole Y with THEE.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Hyper that changes things a little bit, depending on how
he is, how healthy he is.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
So uh but you look at k you look at
you know the world. Oh my god, good lord, all.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
The all the m VP the last five years, the
last five years, the top three m v P players.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
We'll be playing against the US old steph Old, Lebron, Rambled,
kd Old, everybody. So good luck to us that they
played hard this year.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You ain't got no hope, you ain't got no faith.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
They want to be embarrassed. Hey R forty yes, uh yeah,
we saw the wobbley football. Let's go here last night.
I mean really, the Rams season has blown up in
their face. Ten days ago from there were the number
one seed in the NFC and Matthew Stafford was the
(23:59):
greatest thing since I spread. They were up thirty to
fourteen in Seattle. Right that was there. They were gonna
make their statement win and all that with so much
riding on it. They blow that game. They go to
Atlanta down twenty one to nothing Stafford with three picks
all that. Just what do you make of where the
Rams are? And now their road to the Super Bowl
(24:19):
that looked very bright ten days ago looks very murky.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah, it looks very murky. And you know it's uncharacteristic
of Sean McVay team Matthew Stafford just to come down
the stretch and just falter like they've been faltering. I mean,
like you said, three weeks ago, the Rams were the
toast of the town. And now they got if they
gonna get to the Bowl, they gotta work. They gotta
work hard. Not to say they can't do it, but
(24:44):
they got some things that they need to fix up,
like the turning over. We can't turn the ball over
like that. Atlanta came out with something to prove d
John Robinson put the world on notice like he is
that guy, and Kirk Cousins wondered everybody, No, I'm not
done yet, right. These guys are playing for position, I
mean next year, and Kirk Cousins is playing for a job. Uh.
You know, Atlanta owes him a lot of money still,
(25:06):
but he's letting them know. Look, Michael Pendix Jr. I
don't know we don't know what's going on with his knees.
The third a cl surgery. You're already paying me, so
let me go out here and do my thing. And
and he's played well. I think they won three in
a row, yep, the last three games. And I would
presume that they're going into this final game and they
gonna want to win. So anybody playing, I forgot who
(25:28):
who do they play this weekend coming up? But that's
that's gonna be a tough out for whoever that is.
And I hope that team doesn't need a playoff positioning.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I thought the Falcons cut out their appendix.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I mean, here you go, here you go, they play.
I'm gonna pull us up, keep going, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Okay, Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
There's a yet, there's a there's a bunch of different
conversations too. Looking up. You're talking about this last week.
You got some huge games coming up. I know it's
early is Tuesday, but you got still Delers Ravens fighting
for that division. H DK metcalf a lot of people
mad at him. You know you're going up in the
stands now. We don't have you for two games, including
this one. What do you make of this?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
One who who who do you see coming out?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And maybe who needs it obviously to get in the postseason,
but more so long term.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Well I think long term, I think the Steelers needed
more so than the Ravens is we're not sure if
Lamar Jackson playing, we don't even know playing, then you
scratched that off the list of Lamartin needs playoff wins.
He needs to be good in the postseason. He hasn't
been good all season, so if he were to get
into the postseason to make a deep run and make
it to the super Bowl, you can e raise a
(26:38):
lot of wrong. Sure you're going to eraise a lot
of wrongs with one big right. But for the Steelers,
they needed I think they needed. I think, uh this
is what they brought Aaron Rodgers there for. They need
to get into the playoffs, but they also needed a
playoff victory. And and DK metcalf, I mean, that's an
understatement of how important and impactful uh it gesture was. Look,
(27:01):
and I know Dk, I love, DK's a good friend
of mine. But you just can't do that. You can't.
And what happens is when you're playing a team sport
and you do something selfish no matter what it is,
it has direct ramifications on the team. They win that
game this past weekend, if against the Browns, if DK's there,
I mean, there is no other target on that to
(27:25):
throw a fifty to fifty ball to. For all the marbles,
it's just not there. It won't be there next week.
So unless that defense gets really the the Stellers defense
get really good and being able to stop King Henry
because they just gonna give them the ball no matter what.
They're just gonna feed them the ball and say, hey man,
we're gonna ride your back, especially if Snoop Huntley is
the quarterback. And so the Steelers need this more Mike
(27:48):
Tomlin needs it. I think Dka needs them to get
into the playoffs so he can erase everybody's memory if
he goes into the playoffs and helps them get into
at least the divisional round of the playoffs. So for me,
the Steelers needed to really do this.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I think Aaron Glenn should be fired with the Jets.
And I'm dead serious. I thought, what their performance this
past week was embarrassed. Awful, was embarrassed. And I said
the same thing, and you know I've said this all year.
We both agree. I didn't think Pete Carroll should have
gotten that job in Las Vegas. Another guy who should
(28:26):
be fired. Awful. The Raiders, they don't do anything right.
The Jets don't do anything right. I just don't understand
how teams can be that bad. I'm not saying they
should win the division or something, but be competitive, right.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
You're right, and those games have been not very competitive.
The Raiders, Max Crosby's pissed off best player, and for
the Jets, I just don't know. The worst thing they
did was fire Robert Salad. That's the worst thing they did,
because at least the Jets showed up and they played hard. Now,
Roberts and the Aaron Rodgers experiment that didn't work. But
(29:02):
Robert Salad was one of those coaches that was changing
the culture, and they were playing extremely well with their
young with their young team under Robert Salad. I don't
know if Aaron Glynn is the right guy, but you know,
I'm pretty sure they're gonna give him one more year
to see what he does in the draft and to
see if he can put a viable team out there.
(29:23):
But it is it's disrespectful to the league.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It really is and speaking of disrespectful, I you know,
the Philip Rivers thing never sat right with me because
the one thing I hate about your league, Ephraim, is
the cronyism, the nepotism and the stuff that goes on.
I know, and it's awful. And I've said this to
Kelvin a million times. It's something that really bothers me
(29:47):
because a lot of those opportunities on given. If a
brother gets hired as a head coach, he can't hire
his whole family and all this kind of stuff and
his friends and whatnot. They would not allow it. But
you go look Pete Carroll's sons on his staff, Andy Reid,
Bill Belichick's kids, all that stuff. Who's the coach? I
always forget his name with the with the Kansas City
(30:09):
Chiefs who didn't even play football. My god, rob No
with the Kansas City Chiefs, rob Gie No, his kid,
his kid didn't play any didn't play football right, like
college or anything. Todd Haley and he made it Todd Haley,
but his dad was a big time executive in the NFL.
(30:29):
He became an NFL head coach. Never played high school football,
never played college football.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Seriously, yeah, it happened. The lead, they run do what
they want to do it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
So that's why that's why the Philip Rivers thing bothered me.
And for people say, well, he didn't do that bad, No, no,
he did terrible because the reason to bring him in
from way right, and they didn't win any games. They
could have put that kid in d and he could
have lost all three games. Seriously, what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
He was talking? Yeah, I think he probably it was
a good story and got eyeballs watching, but I think
Leondar would have gave him a better opportunity to win.
But you look, look they've done that before when they
hired just Saturday from at All. Yeah, we talked about
that at some point. You get what you get. Man.
You keep making stupid choices, you get stupid answers and consquences.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And one other and the Sauce Gardener trade when they
gave up to first round pick. Look at where they are,
Look at how this season blew up in their face.
They were eight and one.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, they dropped the ball. There, they dropped the ball.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
It was crazy, is too in that division now the
Jacks are the toast of that division and the Texans
who have won eight straight.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
The Jagson won seventh straight.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
