Speaker 2 (02:14):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I think we're about to Okay, robb Gi, you're looking
at me like you got something to say to me.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Man, if you do say it with your chest, I.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Got a lot to say to you. Okay, I'm telling
you right now on a Fox Sports radio nationwide on
ten thousand affiliates, I will not co host with Calvin
Washington again.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
And why is that?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Because the first time I did it, I had over
eleven hundred dollars worth of car repairs because a semi
truck tire hit my car. And then on Friday, I
go and put up big numbers per huge, you know,
went Fullberry Bonds on it again. And then on the
way back, in the effort to listen to my own
clip because I'm weird like that kind of lame, got
pulled over by a cop, got a cell phone ticket.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Okay, I got yeah, Martin, That's what happens. So I
have a lot to say to this for Let's dissect
a couple things. Number One, what in the truck or
don dude, are you blaming me for on the semi
I had nothing to do with that. Keep your eyes
on the What I'm hearing is you are an irresponsible driver.
You don't keep your eyes on a roll so you
running in the tires and then you're out here using
(03:18):
your phone on the row. Look Steve the second rolling
his head that you can't believe you riding around texting
people and looking at YouTube and Instagram while you're driving,
blaming me on that, and Martin, you know what else
I just learned?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
What's that? You lucky? Right now?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I should have Sam hit the breaking news for Steve
breaking news.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You are more and more.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Like your namesake, Rob, as in Robert Lee Parker, because
what I'm learning about you is you are a numbers
watcher every single time he does the show, not even
the next day, Martin, I haven't even had I haven't
even put my daughters to bed before I already see
yo numbers. We do big things. This is why I'm
in the building. This is what happens when you have
(03:58):
Rob g In instead of Rob. He checked the numb
and a screenshot of the YouTube numbers. He's worse than Rob,
and I didn't think it could get worse than Rob.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
So you know how like you could tell how old
somebody is about how they answered the question of who's
their batman? Yeah, I feel like kind of the same
way with who's your Kanye?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
All right?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
And so this reminds me of Kanye wrapping outside for
jay Z to like.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Please pay attention to me. Pay attention to me, Jay Like.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
And then finally and you know, immortalize the song last Call.
He gets his attention boom, and all of a sudden,
the rest is history. Rob Kanye, he listened to my mixtape.
Ear he's trying to get any Will anybody pay attention
to me? Look what's happening? And you know what that
officer said, Yes, Rob g, I will pay attention to you.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
You ain't paying attention to You're hey.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
At least I'm honest about it, Mark and mean, like,
you know, I don't even know I was working today
until you email me. Well you full of it, you know,
damn well you say you're alarm clock four different times
to get these takes off.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
We know he has also seventeen different shows. Did you
do twenty shows a day too?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
One earlier?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
But I definitely was in the chair at the dentist
office and saw the email come through and I was like, oh,
she was like do you have to go?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
And I was like, you can fin out, we can finish.
But I do have to I'm not going home.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
She wou wasn't gonna hit you. Oh we got a
quick root canal. We gotta do like nah nah no.
All right, let's get to the show Man again again
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. A couple of
things some house keep and keep that number handed when
you need it. And if you want to find us
on socials KB live for myself Martin Weiss an odd
couple FSR.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Those are way to do it. You already know.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You can listen live at Fox Sports Radio dot com
and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
All right, let's get to this, Martin.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
There is a pictures have been floating around over the
I think you would agree the last two months or
so with Luca, whether it was just spotted here, spotted there,
and he looks so great, he looks like in shade.
But now we officially kind of have an answer to this,
as his whole body has looked looks different with this
article that he had that just came out over the
(05:55):
weekend and Luca himself talked about it was for men's health,
it was a feature on him and essentially, just to
get to the gist, he says, I always work on something,
always work on my body. But he had it motiv
He had added motivation coming off of the injury, being
nicked up all season, only playing fifty games between the
two teams, and it also getting traded, so he had
that in these and more than anything he said, he
(06:16):
slimmed down, he's tone and he says quote just visually,
I would say, my whole body looks better. He said
that in the NARCO and it does, and it does,
so I'm gonna jump out on this. For me, I
love what I'm seeing from Luca. I love the fact
that he acknowledged it because to me, sometimes when people
call you on your flaw, when they call you out
on your issh, when they call you out on your thing,
(06:39):
it takes really a real man or a woman to say,
you know what, You're right, you know what I mean,
You're right. I am being deficient here, I'm not being
efficient here, I am slacking in this area.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And I liked it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Luca didn't just say no, I'm fine. I am what
I am and it is what it is, and it's
gotten me the five All NBA First Team All NBA.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Deal with it.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I dragged the team in the finals it is what
it is. I'm good enough. I like that he took
it to heart. I liked that he took it personally,
and I like that he went to work, and whether
he got some advice from a somebody liking Lebron who's
in year sixty eight and still looks amazing and still
obviously in great shape. Whether he just took it personally,
that man, I could get traded from the team that
(07:17):
I thought would be home and I thought I was untradable,
and that's now we now see that's the case, and
really set the NBA on alert. This is not the case.
Anybody can get to smoke, whether it's Luca, whether it's
Ann Edwards, anybody. If Luca could get it, anybody can
get it. But more importantly, I like that he's activated
with this, that he's taking it on his shoulders, that
he's out here shooting text messages. We hear de Marcus smart, he'
(07:38):
shooting text to DeAndre and trying to build a team,
trying to be participatory and now being a Laker as
he looks like he's gonna get the deal eventually, a
four year deal worth you know, two and a quarter
one hundred million so I actually like what I'm seeing
and the fact that he's bounced back, and we talked
about this last week.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I believe it was Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I expect Luca now to get a ring in the
next four years because to me, you realize you can
be better. You're great, was great MVP candidate all the time,
kind of one of those guys, but you can be better.
And now you put yourselves in a situation to me
where you got a couple of players I don't think
(08:18):
they're good enough to really contend, But I do think
he put himself in a position, Martin where he can
really be an MVP candidate again, because I think that's
gonna work in his favor.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Usually, you ain't have these criterias.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You're the best player on the best team, so they
kind of give it to you, even if it's like
some other person where you had a number one seed
by far, we gotta give it to you.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And Luka Rashid the MVP votes in that scenario before, right,
And I think he's gonna get it this year because
his team won't be loaded and he's gonna ball out
and keep his team in a you know, four to
six seven seed ish and people will be like, man,
this might be the year he gets that MVP.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But bottom line for me, I like this, And again,
they got Lebron ain't gonna be here much longer. So
I think the window is now open for the Lakers.
The Lebron or the Luca era no longer the Lebron era.
And I like that he's took it personally. And I
like again that he didn't just say I've been good enough.
He went and wanted to get better and we'll see
how foot how long it lasts. But a lighter, healthier
(09:12):
motivated Luca. I like that for La.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I mean, I like it too. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You know, there's no way not to like it, right,
there's nothing to not like about this if you're a
Los Angeles Laker fan. But I just wanted we should
all just take a moment as a country and.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Just okay, we're plotting. What are we are plotting?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Shout out to Luka Doncis for showing up to work
this summer. Congratulations America. He did something that you and
I and everybody else here does all the time. Professional
athlete works out more at eleven. I mean, like, ultimately,
you know what the take is from this Nico Harris
has to print this article out and pin it on
his fridge. You mean to tell me that this article
(09:55):
said that Luka Doncic said, for the first time build
a weight routine to help them build total body strength.
Luca's been in the NBA for five years now, six
years now, yeah, right, six years now. This has also that. Oh,
when he was in Dallas, he listened to everything the
Mavericks had to say, but then when he would go
(10:16):
back to Europe would get limited information. You mean to
tell me that the Mavericks are just you know, hey,
figure it out on your own.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I refuse to believe that's the case now.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I can't believe that's the case, especially an organization like Dallas,
which is scouted internationally so well. They draft, They got
people over there right now, right, it's somebody's job over
there to work Luca dodgers out, and you know it
is somebody. It didn't work this whole team, Luca, though,
seemed like it was happening more and more and more.
You mean to tell me that now we are just
now intermitted fasting. We're just now figuring that intermitted fasting.
(10:50):
I've been doing it for the last eight months and
people keep coming. People think I've been in the gym.
I haven't stepped into gym once. All I do is
I don't eat before two o'clock.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Right. He says this like.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Nico Harrison is vindicated off of this, because if you're
telling me that none of this was happening before, that's
the implication that none of this was happening before that
he never was going to do it, especially if you
gave him that money. Now it worked out for the
Lakers and more than likely to your point, I'm not
(11:23):
saying this to refute anything that you just spent the
first however long, laying out. I think all of that
is true. MVP is on the floor absolutely championship. I
mean we saw it. Yah, we saw fat Luca do it,
So why can't skinny Luca do it?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Right? You think it only be better? Right?
Speaker 5 (11:38):
But that was my initial takeaway from this is two takeaways. First,
interesting that he only mentioned Lebron's name only the writer
mentioned Lebron's name and Luca didn't mention it once. The
narrative once Luca got traded here was that he was
going to study with Lebron. He references Michael Jordan and
Kobe Bryant in the article not Lebron. James found that interesting,
(12:00):
but more than anything, to me, this was vindication, like
you had to get what you could because if you
paid him everything, he was never going to do this
type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Here's where I have issue with what you're saying on paper.
I get what you're saying, and I wouldn't be mad
if it was for Luca, for Ann Edwards, wouldn't have
been mad, if it was looking for Tatum, wouldn't have
been mad, if it were looking for you know, Sga,
wouldn't have been mad. But you can't tell me we
believe a catastrophic injury is on the way for him
because he doesn't take care of his body. And then
(12:31):
you go and get Anthony Davis and then you pair
him with Kyrie Irving, six year older Anthony Davis. You
know what he's not even I'm not saying a catastrophic injury. No,
I'm talking about what Nico. Nico's saying. He believe a
catastrophic injuries around the corner. And you know, we believe
in all of this, And I'm My biggest issue with
it was I'm I that would have been shocking because
anybody waking up reading Luca is traded, it's crazy. But
(12:52):
if you're doing it and you're getting Anthony Davis not
a Hall of picks, that to me is the crazy part.
Because he's often injured, you're pairing what often injured Kyrie.
He's six years older. The math wasn't mathing, but that to.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Me, I'm not saying that the Hall was great, right,
but I'm saying the if I'm staring down the barrel
of making Luca doncis the highest paid player in the
NBA or moving him, and I'm reading this article expected
to think that this is groundbreaking news right now, there's
no way as a GM, I'm tying my future to
(13:28):
that guy.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The only other issue I have with that is, and
I mentioned this at certain points, this happens with athletes.
This happens as applicable in any walk of life. When
you and we know this, we talk about people who
are overly talented, naturally talented, you name the thing in
life they've been able to rely on that talent.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Luca has been a professionals.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
He was like thirteen, literally, and to me, what I
read is he's worked hard, you know, but that next level.
You talk about a Kobe Bryant, that maniacal level, he
probably hadn't approached that. And I think to me was
that what was Dallas doing to get him to that level?
And maybe he couldn't, you know, maybe they just couldn't.
Maybe he needed the kick in the butt of being
(14:08):
traded to kind of take it to that next level.
But I do believe some people have to There are
a there's an ability to take it to another level.
And you just didn't know that because all I've ever
been was good like Lebron James, as hard as he
works now and we know and all this, I guarantee
you if he would say I wasn't twenty two three four,
I was working out and I was in a gym,
But that next level I had to go to Miami
(14:31):
and learn. Oh shoot, I got with d Waite. He
talks about it. I got with dv Wade. I saw
work on levels. And so I think sometimes people have
to get to another level, they have to see it,
they have to have a kick in the butt, that
something to having an experience before they take it to
the next level. Which is why Kobe is so revered
in that regard because he seems to be somebody at
that engine from go, and I think not everybody's born
that way. And again, I don't care if it's a salesperson.
(14:53):
I don't care. If it's a singer, I don't care.
If it's a dancer, I don't care. If it's an
NBA player. Some people, it takes a moment when you go, oh,
that's the Kobe Ryan coming too. The Olympics, Lebron and
mellow they all stars, first team NBA, you know, we
the guys and KD. Then they see Kobe and they go, oh,
there's another level. And I just think sometimes you need that.
I think Luca through this situation, got that. But I
(15:15):
totally get what you're saying. If they don't trade him,
does he ever get there? We don't know, But I
get what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
For this article to come out like this, and I
get what you're saying about the Lebron and going to
see and being at the next level. The problem is
now the author in this actually wrote that Luca jumped
forty two inches at the combine, which A didn't have
any and go to the combine and beef Luka never.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Dnty in forty two inches.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
But if you go back and watch Luca and then
bubble highlights with nobody in the stands and education reform
on the back of people's jerseys, Luka Doncis was.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Dunking the ball.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
He was going to the room aggressively and dunking the ball,
and you could see a progression in his game to
a more on the floor type of game going year
in year round.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
He was getting.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Heavier, like he was moving physically in the wrong direction. Right,
And so that's the thing is like you look at
sure like even a guy like Dwight Howard, right, he
was never all the way locked in, super talented, but never,
I think, to his own admission would tell you that
was never all the way locked in, never locked in
on diet never.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
But he never like got out of shape. No, no, no,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Like if he had took it to another level, we
would have seen whatever that could have been. Maybe he
could have actually lived up to the baby shack and
all of that. But Luca, we saw it going the
other way. And I think that's where you see this
Men's Health article. And I was supposed to be like, oo.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Look out, now the only other point, I add real
quick and then we'll break here. But I do wonder
if for understating his injuries and as somebody right now
who's at a bum knee and at some point I'm
staring down the barrel of probably a knee replacement. That's
a real thing when you can't do work out the
way in which you want to. And I do wonder
(16:53):
if Luca, we've kind of just swell, he nicked up.
He's nicked up, and he's like, dude, I can't give
you what you want and also be playing during the
season and be in the best shape. And I wonder
if that had something to do with it, And we'll
tell you what that if it did.
Speaker 4 (17:07):

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Those are their two parents in the world. Which one
are you? Right now?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
I'm in that phase where I think she wants to
listen to kids stuff, but her kids stuff is very
adult oriented because she's in the you know, YouTube and
Netflix stuff like that. So I don't even know what
I would classify what you listened to right now.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
It's weird age trying.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Yeah, she's like on K pop and stuff like that.

(19:33):
got another minute or so before we got to get
to Steve.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, I just honestly, I thought the uh, no one
ever answered this question. I don't even know if there's
still a thing anymore. Remember when glow Rilla was was
posting about Damian Lillard. Oh yeah, you know, like it
was at the All Star at the All Star Game,
took a picture together.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
She's like, you know, basically, whose man is this?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And then, uh, you know, because I want them JA
get them, glow It said, I just read it, and
then adding whoever it is can't whoop me.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I really d g a f uh. I'm not going
to translate that, but I just had to thowt.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I just wondered, you know, it's Damian Lillard, you know,
three time All Star currently recovering from you know that
that injury.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I just wondered at the time, like, do you think
they ever like battled each other?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Across the dinner table, you know, like low really and
Dame Lillard, Like, I don't think Dame was I don't
think was trying to trying to rap, if you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I'm just saying, like, who do you do? Like? I who?
What's funny is I think she'd get him if I
think so too.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
And I was one the energy who would initiate the
battle because because because that's the thing, Like, I feel
like Damian Lillard and I'm not knocking his basketball ability
or anything like that. I'm not knocking anything like that,
but I think very much like jo Kis maybe would
like to rather race horses, I think Damian Lillard would
(21:01):
like to maybe be a rapper, right like in a
different life. He like fancies himself like somebody's like, yeah,
you know what, man, I could have done that. I'm nice,
I can do this. So I wonder if he's like,
because we run across this in our daily lives with
the guy who ended up and maybe ten years ago
he ran across some more. But the guy who could
hoop but never made it, and he just wants now
(21:23):
he just goes around trying to hoop against everybody else
to just to show you how nice he is at.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Hooping, and we all like, man, he used to be nice.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
And so just imagine if that guy somehow got with
like Dido, what's the day of loving Bonica from loving basketball.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
He's like, they gonna have to go hoop. They're gonna
hoop it out or wrap it out like he's wrapped
for your heart.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I feel like, listen at the end of the day,
the day go in, and I feel like that had
to happen.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
They had to at least, and maybe that was their
way of starting today, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Warming up.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
We wrapped to each other, like you know some people
maybe a little massage, little music going. Maybe for them
it was like spatch Spitch of your hottest bar. To me,
I'll just say, all right, we have it. Glorella, if
you're listening, we answering you. I want to know one.
I'm putting my money on her. She's got more interesing.
Plus I heard her wrap a baby a nursery rhyme
thing out here and uh with big boy girl out
(22:19):
here in La. She wrapped the whole little nursery baby
love of what a love It was actually pretty dope.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
I said, see, I feel like Damian Lillard, which is
he could do something like that. Yeah, but they just
had some well basketball, they might had us bar off.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's probably how we had to holler her to get
her number right there, Uh, Dame Dollar, all right, we
got to on the way. Some good news in a
tough situation for Deon Sanders. If you haven't heard, will
tell you right now it is Steve the Seger. He's
gonna get you set on with trendy.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
A couple Kevin Washington, Martin White, so on the Magic
City Monday and again Rob Parker is out, he'll be
back to Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
He'll be back Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Nice little vacation for him, touring the South and join
himself around there, so he'll be back then. If you
got achy knees, stiff back joints not cooperating, some days
your body just like nope. And on those days, luckily
there's a lead with just one pill of the lead
provides up to twelve hours of paying release. So you
can keep it moving use as directed. All right, Rob
g Man, this is Dion Sanders. Kind of been a
(23:26):
miia for the last three months or so. He popped
up at the Big twelve media day. We got to
see him there a little bit. But he's been on
and off. You see him a handful of times. He
might do something on social media, but come to find
out on a serious note, he had been dealing with
bladder cancer. Now this is where correct me if I'm wrong,
Rob g This is where gets sketchy. Some purports are
(23:51):
his bladder was removed period. Others are some of his
bladder was removed, right, yes, part of it with the
part of it with the tumb I should tell you
for sure.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
He said today he depends on depends. That's a quote
from him. No, it's absolutely a quote from him. So
he says he's up and using the bathroom four or
five times a night into a colostomy bag.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, and I saw the bag.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
If you follow him on the gram he uh, there's
a video of him, you know, fishing, and then he
kind of like fades pans and then you see the
bag just sitting on I don't know, a bench or
so so obviously a tough situation for him, what he's
going through. He's been through so much physically over the
last decade twelve years or so. He had a staff infection,
(24:37):
he had infection in his leg after getting some some
footwork done to the tune of where he's got kind
of rough legs, scarred up legs, and then obviously he's
missing toes on his foot and now all of a
sudden this he's had blood clots and he's just had
a lot going on physically. And one of the things
I love about him Martin is that, and it's a
trait that honestly, I want to have more of. I
(24:59):
think I'm I'm okay with it. I think he found
the perfect balance of not telling you what's going on
per se, but also telling you and keeping a great disposition,
keeping a very you know, he's his faith in God
and his faith in you know, the power of God
in his life, and he just keeps a great attitude
of moving forward and encouraging. And I said that to
say he's not hiding things where we are. You know,
(25:21):
some people hard and then you find out they're going
through it, and maybe something bad happens because they've been
harboring something he just doesn't overly have to share, but
he even when he does. When he was going through
the foot stuff, he's like, hey man, he kept his
faith and I love that about him. As he's been
going through this, and he said he's ready to coach.
He's ready to go year three Colorado, and he's up
(25:41):
for the task. Obviously he's going to be difficult. Obviously
we're all wishing him the best with this. But just
remarkable all that he's been going through. Now knowing this
and given everything that's going on, right you're coaching, you
got you know, you got sons plural, you got other
kids that's your an adopted son if you will, and
Travis Hunter and all trying to go to the league.
And I just think that's remarkable all that he's been
(26:03):
able to do, and again coming off of so many
other surgeries that he's had to go through.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Yeah, he said today, I listened today the first five
ministers of his availability. He said today, he's had fourteen
surgeries in the last two years. He has had more
surgeries out of the game than he did in the game,
which is generally works in reverse for.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Most NFL players.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
You're going under the knife while you're playing, as opposed
to after the fact. But and I k everything you
say in terms of he looked like he was in
very good spirits today. He looked like I think, I
think to your point of he keeps his faith so on,
he also does a good job of presenting a very
(26:47):
strong front in moments like this.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And I think, not to go off on a too
far of a tangent.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But like a lot of people who are like twenty
years old or twenty five and under could take note
and like, you don't have to post everything every single
step off the way, you know, And I think that's
something that we see a lot out of a lot
of people who are younger and have grown up on
the internet. Deon Sanders, at each moment of these different
(27:15):
health instances that he's had, has both shared what happened,
but also shared in a way that projected his strength
and his ability to deal in his faith and so on.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
My secondary takeaway from this was.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
We might have to give Dion some grace here and
also Shadure Sanders from grace. And ultimately it's not about
what happened today, but about the draft. I think that
if you went back to the way that we talked
about Shador leading up to the draft process and the
way that leading up to the draft process and immediately
(27:55):
following there was a lot of how on earth My
biggest question, how on earth could they have been so wrong?
They're not having that Day one draft party if he
thinks he's a fifth round pick, right, Like that's Deon
Sanders knows enough to know.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
About the optics of what this looks like.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
You know, if your son's are going to be drafted
for seventy two more hours, maybe you order the catering
for Saturday afternoon instead of Thursday night.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
But and I have no reason to believe he's lying.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
But what Dion said today was, you know, I was
essentially lying to my kids, telling them that the reason
I was going to the doctor so much was from
my feet, right because I wanted my boys to focus
on their once in a lifetime opportunity to make it
to the NFL and play at a high level. And
so fourteenth thirty reason two years, you know, dealing with
(28:49):
all of this this offseason. He just recently he still
got a colostomy bag and he's going to the bathroom
four or five times a Night tells me that this
is not something that was resolved months and months ago.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
This was something that resolved weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Right, and may not even yeah, right, they say he's
cancer free, but obviously the post.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Right, and he's not all the way resolved.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Resolved is probably the wrong verb to you, But to me,
it's like, I went and I came on these areas
and was like, how could Dion Sanders, one of the
most plugged men who can seemingly hire just go through
his contact list and his iPhone and hire the next
It's just a coach of Colorado because all of them
played football, all of them Hall of famers.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
You want to name Michael, you name it, can go
get on the sideline.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
You know, it's a Hollywood Walk of Fame on the
sidelines of Colorado. How could he even so off about
the way the NFL felt about his son, because I
always thought that Chador was a probably a second or
third round pick that they got drafted in the fifth
round because he failed the interviews, right, he failed the
job interview part of it. Well, now I have maybe
(29:55):
a little bit of a better understanding as to why
the perception seemingly out of Boulder and in the NFL
was so wide, Dean had a lot more.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Going on than just getting his sons ready for the draft.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Yeah, I mean he might have been for the first
time disconnected or or I mean, listen, two things can
also be true or well, I don't know exactly your
you know, your take on it, or well, my thought
still being because of the interview fail because of Dion
being so much, and because of how NFL sometimes feels
about backup quarterbacks and guys who are gonna be the
(30:28):
circumstance around them, the pomping circumstance.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I don't want that around.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Hey, if I'm not gonna play this kid for another
two years, three years, he's I view him as a backup,
a third or fourth round pick ultimately would be a fifth,
then why do I want to bring him his fanfare,
his X amount of millions of followers that I'd have
to deal with, put him in, put him in people
who might come to the stadium, and obviously his father,
what y'all doing, baby, play my son, baby? You know,
(30:53):
going through all the day. And so I think there's
an element still that people are like, I don't want
to deal with that for a guy that I view
as a backup in a year where not a lot
of guys teams needed quarterbacks. So I think two things
he could have been clearly not could have He was
clearly going through something dion and maybe not as tapped
in as he normally would be. When you're dealing with
(31:14):
cancer the word now, I'm dealing with a bum knee, right,
it is not.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Like a torn ligament or something like that. That's something
he has experienced with.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Even a toe. Unfortunately they said he we gotta cut
another toe.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
He's been through that. Cancer is a whole different bag
and a different part of your body. So I do
think there's an element of what you're saying that he
had to deal with this. It may not have been
as locked inn or tapped in, but I still believe
there's an element of we didn't like hole cocky, how arrogant,
how he thinks he knows it all.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
So I think that's valid. I'm not taking that away.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
My thing is I think that dim probably would have
heard more about that, like about, hey, guys, this is
the current perception of how you're.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Being viewed, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Like, I think that maybe if there had been like
I just say that it makes sense now, or it
makes more sense at least there's a plausible reason why
there was no change in attitude or changing direction or
changeing approach to that, to that perspective up until I
mean after draft day, right, you know what I'm saying.
It was a day of the draft. They are moving
(32:18):
like it was like he was going in the first round. Yeah,
And so that's why that just makes it makes a
lot more sense.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
You.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I just still also think Dion has been Dion since
literally he was drafted with gold chains and you know,
the six sunglasses on. And I think part of them
is like do I want to deal with that with
this kid who isn't Andrew Luck?
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Sure, who isn't Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
You know, as far as that type of prospect, I
don't want that fan fear. I don't want that pomp
circumstance for guys gonna sit on my bench for two
to three years. Maybe I think that played a role
as well. But wishing d I think we both are
I can speak for both of us wishing him all
the best players up for Dion uh and just wishing
him the best. Coach Prime get back on your feet
and be able to do what you do for sure,
Play of the Day on the way. Plus, somebody has
(33:01):
some jokes on their way in the Cooperstown. We'll tell
you who that is. It's the Odd couple Martin Wison

Rob g and Alex Martin, were you here that day
we had the T Paine Nate dog conversation? No, no, no,
it was It was last week and we had that conversation.
It was what Kerrie Rhodes was here a couple by
the way, Kelvin Washington and that's is of course you
hear Martin weiss In for Rob on this Magic City
(33:48):
Monday And just to get before we get to play
the day, that was the conversation we had. We've had
this before early on when I started with this show.
T Paine or Nate Dogg and they two clear T
paying for them, and I said, I'll give you the solo, right.
I don't think that's closely. You can't name one or two,
but no hooks and all of that. I feel like
(34:08):
y'all sleeping on Nate Dog. And I do feel like that.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I mean, this is to me now, it's knocking on
the door of Cam Newton Jalen Hurts conversation, Like, I
get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Sure T Payn had a better solo career.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Sure Jalen Hurts has been one more playoff games.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Been to the super Bowl, super Bowl, MVP, all of that.
But the peaks that they dog hit.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
T Pain could Darry Wish, the peaks that Cam Newton
that fifteen to one team, get out of here, get
out of town.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Take that.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
My man's wrong on two points. Right now, it's okay, listen,
this can be the player today. Okay, don't play. I
mean this will be the player today right now. I
still don't know your answer to regulators because they don't
stop the.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Du what you mean that that's the best of all
of them? But Alex, you have a drop? Do you
have a T Paine drop?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
But you have a Nate Doug hold up, drop, Yeah,
what's up player today?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
That Rob G. That's not fair. You asked for that, Drop,
mind your business. I asked for before this conversation.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Ever he did to be fair, he also could have
asked for t Paine d Love.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
What make the.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
List look at you? Dj Ally Alex. Now, I can't lie.
I'm a big t paying guy too, but y'all just
said it a little too easily.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
On Ny Dog.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I didn't appreciate that. All right, Let's get to the
tire reck play of the day.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It's the center field rod Ree guys Rockchi did sis
right there? Mike Trout joins the.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Thousand RBI club a.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Two run bomb the center.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
All right, Angels Radio there on Mike Trout getting another
home run. By the way, Mike Trout, you're talking about
a baseball player about seven eight years ago. Was always
topic of conversation, and now it's just like, oh yeah,
Mike Trout, like it's still good any but just like.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
I mean, I feel like the topic of conversation about
Mike Trout was really are you a nerd?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Or do you like baseball?
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Because it was like either your voting Miguel Carbrere to
be the MVP of the America League, or your voting
Mike Trout, your voting Mike Trout if you're a nerd
in your voting mcgul Cabrera if you like baseball and
winning and you know, host eager performances.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
And sound like somebody that was in Detroit at the time.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
And also I stand against sabermetrics in general. Okay, I'm
not mad at that too. That was your tire rack
play the other day.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And for over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive shit fast and free back by free Road
has their protections with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot com.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
It is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
We have the TV's going on in here, and I
just looked at the Dodgers Reds game and they just
showed a little promo August eighth. First off, are you
all bobblehead people? Like?
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Do you like them? You collect them? See if you
collect them at all? Bibbleheads when you go.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
To a little bit, Yeah, I'm one of those, Like
I just did the pregame pre impost for the Dodgers,
not Saturday ago, and it was Fernando Veleezuez. So I'm like,
all right, he's a legend. He's passed away recently. As
I got it, they just kind of handed it cheese
walked in as I got to keep that. The reason
I bring that up. Let me tell you the Chaos said,
is gonna sue August eighth at Dodger Stadium. You know
who's getting a biblehead that night?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Otani?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
No, great guess, because those go crazy people line up
hours and hours and hours in advance. I think these
bibleheads are gonna go crazier than Otani. That's gonna give
you a clue. August eighth, Is that that day?
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Yes? That day? Yes? Yes, eight eight co ho. I
know Kobe's gonna be biblehead.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I said the same thing to Manci. Mancy's in the building.
Of course, she said, it's not even close to another
night that's coming up.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Really, wait is that night? Wait? Are you saying twenty fourth?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I don't know what day it is, but I can
tell you that the bobble coming up after that is
five times bigger than the Kobe Knight.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Okay, we already had about three o tiny Knights which
go crazy Kobe coming up eight to eight.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
It's not an athlete, said a Wormerton. It's not an athlete.
The only person I can think was Vince Scully.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Nope, that would be the only person I can think
that would make people really go crazy to the point.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
It's not an athlete, not an athlete, not even in sports,
not even a real person.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
It's a character. Oh God, this is gonna be like
freaking Darth Vader some anime. Hello Kitty, Oh yeah, that
is gonna be big. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
She says she's getting requests now for that, and Kobe
is before that. Kobe, God blessed it that. Kobe. Bryan
is so mad right now? Are y'all kidding me? Kobe?
Speaker 4 (38:47):
But I hope she's the Dodgers in shack and everybody
t mac. I hope she's wrong. I just let me
not get in trouble. Yellow kid. He was huge when
I was in high school, like grade school. I could
just I could see it.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
But I guess if you were telling they were gonna
do some pop up at Targeted Toys r us or something,
I get that. But Dodger Stadium with Kobe eight eight day.
Speaker 4 (39:07):

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Man, if you do say it with your chest, I.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Got a lot to say to you. Okay, I'm telling
you right now on a Fox Sports radio nationwide on
ten thousand affiliates, I will not co host with Calvin
Washington again.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
And why is that?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Because the first time I did it, I had over
eleven hundred dollars worth of car repairs because a semi
truck tire hit my car. And then on Friday, I
go and put up big numbers per huge, you know,
went Fullberry Bonds on it again. And then on the
way back, in the effort to listen to my own
clip because I'm weird like that kind of lame, got
pulled over by a cop, got a cell phone ticket.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Okay, I got yeah, Martin, That's what happens. So I
have a lot to say to this for Let's dissect
a couple things. Number One, what in the truck or
don dude, are you blaming me for on the semi
I had nothing to do with that. Keep your eyes
on the What I'm hearing is you are an irresponsible driver.
You don't keep your eyes on a roll so you
running in the tires and then you're out here using
(03:18):
your phone on the row. Look Steve the second rolling
his head that you can't believe you riding around texting
people and looking at YouTube and Instagram while you're driving,
blaming me on that, and Martin, you know what else
I just learned?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
What's that? You lucky? Right now?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I should have Sam hit the breaking news for Steve
breaking news.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You are more and more.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Like your namesake, Rob, as in Robert Lee Parker, because
what I'm learning about you is you are a numbers
watcher every single time he does the show, not even
the next day, Martin, I haven't even had I haven't
even put my daughters to bed before I already see
yo numbers. We do big things. This is why I'm
in the building. This is what happens when you have
(03:58):
Rob g In instead of Rob. He checked the numb
and a screenshot of the YouTube numbers. He's worse than Rob,
and I didn't think it could get worse than Rob.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
So you know how like you could tell how old
somebody is about how they answered the question of who's
their batman? Yeah, I feel like kind of the same
way with who's your Kanye?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
All right?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
And so this reminds me of Kanye wrapping outside for
jay Z to like.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Please pay attention to me. Pay attention to me, Jay Like.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
And then finally and you know, immortalize the song last Call.
He gets his attention boom, and all of a sudden,
the rest is history. Rob Kanye, he listened to my mixtape.
Ear he's trying to get any Will anybody pay attention
to me? Look what's happening? And you know what that
officer said, Yes, Rob g, I will pay attention to you.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
You ain't paying attention to You're hey.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
At least I'm honest about it, Mark and mean, like,
you know, I don't even know I was working today
until you email me. Well you full of it, you know,
damn well you say you're alarm clock four different times
to get these takes off.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
We know he has also seventeen different shows. Did you
do twenty shows a day too?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
One earlier?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
But I definitely was in the chair at the dentist
office and saw the email come through and I was like, oh,
she was like do you have to go?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
And I was like, you can fin out, we can finish.
But I do have to I'm not going home.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
She wou wasn't gonna hit you. Oh we got a
quick root canal. We gotta do like nah nah no.
All right, let's get to the show Man again again
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. A couple of
things some house keep and keep that number handed when
you need it. And if you want to find us
on socials KB live for myself Martin Weiss an odd
couple FSR.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Those are way to do it. You already know.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You can listen live at Fox Sports Radio dot com
and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
All right, let's get to this, Martin.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
There is a pictures have been floating around over the
I think you would agree the last two months or
so with Luca, whether it was just spotted here, spotted there,
and he looks so great, he looks like in shade.
But now we officially kind of have an answer to this,
as his whole body has looked looks different with this
article that he had that just came out over the
(05:55):
weekend and Luca himself talked about it was for men's health,
it was a feature on him and essentially, just to
get to the gist, he says, I always work on something,
always work on my body. But he had it motiv
He had added motivation coming off of the injury, being
nicked up all season, only playing fifty games between the
two teams, and it also getting traded, so he had
that in these and more than anything he said, he
(06:16):
slimmed down, he's tone and he says quote just visually,
I would say, my whole body looks better. He said
that in the NARCO and it does, and it does,
so I'm gonna jump out on this. For me, I
love what I'm seeing from Luca. I love the fact
that he acknowledged it because to me, sometimes when people
call you on your flaw, when they call you out
on your issh, when they call you out on your thing,
(06:39):
it takes really a real man or a woman to say,
you know what, You're right, you know what I mean,
You're right. I am being deficient here, I'm not being
efficient here, I am slacking in this area.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And I liked it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Luca didn't just say no, I'm fine. I am what
I am and it is what it is, and it's
gotten me the five All NBA First Team All NBA.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Deal with it.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I dragged the team in the finals it is what
it is. I'm good enough. I like that he took
it to heart. I liked that he took it personally,
and I like that he went to work, and whether
he got some advice from a somebody liking Lebron who's
in year sixty eight and still looks amazing and still
obviously in great shape. Whether he just took it personally,
that man, I could get traded from the team that
(07:17):
I thought would be home and I thought I was untradable,
and that's now we now see that's the case, and
really set the NBA on alert. This is not the case.
Anybody can get to smoke, whether it's Luca, whether it's
Ann Edwards, anybody. If Luca could get it, anybody can
get it. But more importantly, I like that he's activated
with this, that he's taking it on his shoulders, that
he's out here shooting text messages. We hear de Marcus smart, he'
(07:38):
shooting text to DeAndre and trying to build a team,
trying to be participatory and now being a Laker as
he looks like he's gonna get the deal eventually, a
four year deal worth you know, two and a quarter
one hundred million so I actually like what I'm seeing
and the fact that he's bounced back, and we talked
about this last week.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I believe it was Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I expect Luca now to get a ring in the
next four years because to me, you realize you can
be better. You're great, was great MVP candidate all the time,
kind of one of those guys, but you can be better.
And now you put yourselves in a situation to me
where you got a couple of players I don't think
(08:18):
they're good enough to really contend, But I do think
he put himself in a position, Martin where he can
really be an MVP candidate again, because I think that's
gonna work in his favor.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Usually, you ain't have these criterias.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You're the best player on the best team, so they
kind of give it to you, even if it's like
some other person where you had a number one seed
by far, we gotta give it to you.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And Luka Rashid the MVP votes in that scenario before, right,
And I think he's gonna get it this year because
his team won't be loaded and he's gonna ball out
and keep his team in a you know, four to
six seven seed ish and people will be like, man,
this might be the year he gets that MVP.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But bottom line for me, I like this, And again,
they got Lebron ain't gonna be here much longer. So
I think the window is now open for the Lakers.
The Lebron or the Luca era no longer the Lebron era.
And I like that he's took it personally. And I
like again that he didn't just say I've been good enough.
He went and wanted to get better and we'll see
how foot how long it lasts. But a lighter, healthier
(09:12):
motivated Luca. I like that for La.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I mean, I like it too. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You know, there's no way not to like it, right,
there's nothing to not like about this if you're a
Los Angeles Laker fan. But I just wanted we should
all just take a moment as a country and.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Just okay, we're plotting. What are we are plotting?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Shout out to Luka Doncis for showing up to work
this summer. Congratulations America. He did something that you and
I and everybody else here does all the time. Professional
athlete works out more at eleven. I mean, like, ultimately,
you know what the take is from this Nico Harris
has to print this article out and pin it on
his fridge. You mean to tell me that this article
(09:55):
said that Luka Doncic said, for the first time build
a weight routine to help them build total body strength.
Luca's been in the NBA for five years now, six
years now, yeah, right, six years now. This has also that. Oh,
when he was in Dallas, he listened to everything the
Mavericks had to say, but then when he would go
(10:16):
back to Europe would get limited information. You mean to
tell me that the Mavericks are just you know, hey,
figure it out on your own.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I refuse to believe that's the case now.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I can't believe that's the case, especially an organization like Dallas,
which is scouted internationally so well. They draft, They got
people over there right now, right, it's somebody's job over
there to work Luca dodgers out, and you know it
is somebody. It didn't work this whole team, Luca, though,
seemed like it was happening more and more and more.
You mean to tell me that now we are just
now intermitted fasting. We're just now figuring that intermitted fasting.
(10:50):
I've been doing it for the last eight months and
people keep coming. People think I've been in the gym.
I haven't stepped into gym once. All I do is
I don't eat before two o'clock.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Right. He says this like.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Nico Harrison is vindicated off of this, because if you're
telling me that none of this was happening before, that's
the implication that none of this was happening before that
he never was going to do it, especially if you
gave him that money. Now it worked out for the
Lakers and more than likely to your point, I'm not
(11:23):
saying this to refute anything that you just spent the
first however long, laying out. I think all of that
is true. MVP is on the floor absolutely championship. I
mean we saw it. Yah, we saw fat Luca do it,
So why can't skinny Luca do it?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Right? You think it only be better? Right?
Speaker 5 (11:38):
But that was my initial takeaway from this is two takeaways. First,
interesting that he only mentioned Lebron's name only the writer
mentioned Lebron's name and Luca didn't mention it once. The
narrative once Luca got traded here was that he was
going to study with Lebron. He references Michael Jordan and
Kobe Bryant in the article not Lebron. James found that interesting,
(12:00):
but more than anything, to me, this was vindication, like
you had to get what you could because if you
paid him everything, he was never going to do this
type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Here's where I have issue with what you're saying on paper.
I get what you're saying, and I wouldn't be mad
if it was for Luca, for Ann Edwards, wouldn't have
been mad, if it was looking for Tatum, wouldn't have
been mad, if it were looking for you know, Sga,
wouldn't have been mad. But you can't tell me we
believe a catastrophic injury is on the way for him
because he doesn't take care of his body. And then
(12:31):
you go and get Anthony Davis and then you pair
him with Kyrie Irving, six year older Anthony Davis. You
know what he's not even I'm not saying a catastrophic injury. No,
I'm talking about what Nico. Nico's saying. He believe a
catastrophic injuries around the corner. And you know, we believe
in all of this, And I'm My biggest issue with
it was I'm I that would have been shocking because
anybody waking up reading Luca is traded, it's crazy. But
(12:52):
if you're doing it and you're getting Anthony Davis not
a Hall of picks, that to me is the crazy part.
Because he's often injured, you're pairing what often injured Kyrie.
He's six years older. The math wasn't mathing, but that to.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Me, I'm not saying that the Hall was great, right,
but I'm saying the if I'm staring down the barrel
of making Luca doncis the highest paid player in the
NBA or moving him, and I'm reading this article expected
to think that this is groundbreaking news right now, there's
no way as a GM, I'm tying my future to
(13:28):
that guy.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The only other issue I have with that is, and
I mentioned this at certain points, this happens with athletes.
This happens as applicable in any walk of life. When
you and we know this, we talk about people who
are overly talented, naturally talented, you name the thing in
life they've been able to rely on that talent.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Luca has been a professionals.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
He was like thirteen, literally, and to me, what I
read is he's worked hard, you know, but that next level.
You talk about a Kobe Bryant, that maniacal level, he
probably hadn't approached that. And I think to me was
that what was Dallas doing to get him to that level?
And maybe he couldn't, you know, maybe they just couldn't.
Maybe he needed the kick in the butt of being
(14:08):
traded to kind of take it to that next level.
But I do believe some people have to There are
a there's an ability to take it to another level.
And you just didn't know that because all I've ever
been was good like Lebron James, as hard as he
works now and we know and all this, I guarantee
you if he would say I wasn't twenty two three four,
I was working out and I was in a gym,
But that next level I had to go to Miami
(14:31):
and learn. Oh shoot, I got with d Waite. He
talks about it. I got with dv Wade. I saw
work on levels. And so I think sometimes people have
to get to another level, they have to see it,
they have to have a kick in the butt, that
something to having an experience before they take it to
the next level. Which is why Kobe is so revered
in that regard because he seems to be somebody at
that engine from go, and I think not everybody's born
that way. And again, I don't care if it's a salesperson.
(14:53):
I don't care. If it's a singer, I don't care.
If it's a dancer, I don't care. If it's an
NBA player. Some people, it takes a moment when you go, oh,
that's the Kobe Ryan coming too. The Olympics, Lebron and
mellow they all stars, first team NBA, you know, we
the guys and KD. Then they see Kobe and they go, oh,
there's another level. And I just think sometimes you need that.
I think Luca through this situation, got that. But I
(15:15):
totally get what you're saying. If they don't trade him,
does he ever get there? We don't know, But I
get what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
For this article to come out like this, and I
get what you're saying about the Lebron and going to
see and being at the next level. The problem is
now the author in this actually wrote that Luca jumped
forty two inches at the combine, which A didn't have
any and go to the combine and beef Luka never.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Dnty in forty two inches.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
But if you go back and watch Luca and then
bubble highlights with nobody in the stands and education reform
on the back of people's jerseys, Luka Doncis was.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Dunking the ball.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
He was going to the room aggressively and dunking the ball,
and you could see a progression in his game to
a more on the floor type of game going year
in year round.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
He was getting.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Heavier, like he was moving physically in the wrong direction. Right,
And so that's the thing is like you look at
sure like even a guy like Dwight Howard, right, he
was never all the way locked in, super talented, but never,
I think, to his own admission would tell you that
was never all the way locked in, never locked in
on diet never.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
But he never like got out of shape. No, no, no,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Like if he had took it to another level, we
would have seen whatever that could have been. Maybe he
could have actually lived up to the baby shack and
all of that. But Luca, we saw it going the
other way. And I think that's where you see this
Men's Health article. And I was supposed to be like, oo.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Look out, now the only other point, I add real
quick and then we'll break here. But I do wonder
if for understating his injuries and as somebody right now
who's at a bum knee and at some point I'm
staring down the barrel of probably a knee replacement. That's
a real thing when you can't do work out the
way in which you want to. And I do wonder
(16:53):
if Luca, we've kind of just swell, he nicked up.
He's nicked up, and he's like, dude, I can't give
you what you want and also be playing during the
season and be in the best shape. And I wonder
if that had something to do with it, And we'll
tell you what that if it did.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Next.

Those are their two parents in the world. Which one
are you? Right now?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
I'm in that phase where I think she wants to
listen to kids stuff, but her kids stuff is very
adult oriented because she's in the you know, YouTube and
Netflix stuff like that. So I don't even know what
I would classify what you listened to right now.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
It's weird age trying.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Yeah, she's like on K pop and stuff like that.

(19:33):
got another minute or so before we got to get
to Steve.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, I just honestly, I thought the uh, no one
ever answered this question. I don't even know if there's
still a thing anymore. Remember when glow Rilla was was
posting about Damian Lillard. Oh yeah, you know, like it
was at the All Star at the All Star Game,
took a picture together.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
She's like, you know, basically, whose man is this?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And then, uh, you know, because I want them JA
get them, glow It said, I just read it, and
then adding whoever it is can't whoop me.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I really d g a f uh. I'm not going
to translate that, but I just had to thowt.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I just wondered, you know, it's Damian Lillard, you know,
three time All Star currently recovering from you know that
that injury.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I just wondered at the time, like, do you think
they ever like battled each other?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Across the dinner table, you know, like low really and
Dame Lillard, Like, I don't think Dame was I don't
think was trying to trying to rap, if you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I'm just saying, like, who do you do? Like? I who?
What's funny is I think she'd get him if I
think so too.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
And I was one the energy who would initiate the
battle because because because that's the thing, Like, I feel
like Damian Lillard and I'm not knocking his basketball ability
or anything like that. I'm not knocking anything like that,
but I think very much like jo Kis maybe would
like to rather race horses, I think Damian Lillard would
(21:01):
like to maybe be a rapper, right like in a
different life. He like fancies himself like somebody's like, yeah,
you know what, man, I could have done that. I'm nice,
I can do this. So I wonder if he's like,
because we run across this in our daily lives with
the guy who ended up and maybe ten years ago
he ran across some more. But the guy who could
hoop but never made it, and he just wants now
(21:23):
he just goes around trying to hoop against everybody else
to just to show you how nice he is at.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Hooping, and we all like, man, he used to be nice.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
And so just imagine if that guy somehow got with
like Dido, what's the day of loving Bonica from loving basketball.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
He's like, they gonna have to go hoop. They're gonna
hoop it out or wrap it out like he's wrapped
for your heart.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I feel like, listen at the end of the day,
the day go in, and I feel like that had
to happen.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
They had to at least, and maybe that was their
way of starting today, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Warming up.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
We wrapped to each other, like you know some people
maybe a little massage, little music going. Maybe for them
it was like spatch Spitch of your hottest bar. To me,
I'll just say, all right, we have it. Glorella, if
you're listening, we answering you. I want to know one.
I'm putting my money on her. She's got more interesing.
Plus I heard her wrap a baby a nursery rhyme
thing out here and uh with big boy girl out
(22:19):
here in La. She wrapped the whole little nursery baby
love of what a love It was actually pretty dope.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
I said, see, I feel like Damian Lillard, which is
he could do something like that. Yeah, but they just
had some well basketball, they might had us bar off.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's probably how we had to holler her to get
her number right there, Uh, Dame Dollar, all right, we
got to on the way. Some good news in a
tough situation for Deon Sanders. If you haven't heard, will
tell you right now it is Steve the Seger. He's

Speaker 4 (23:04):
He'll be back Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Nice little vacation for him, touring the South and join
himself around there, so he'll be back then. If you
got achy knees, stiff back joints not cooperating, some days
your body just like nope. And on those days, luckily
there's a lead with just one pill of the lead
provides up to twelve hours of paying release. So you
can keep it moving use as directed. All right, Rob
g Man, this is Dion Sanders. Kind of been a
(23:26):
miia for the last three months or so. He popped
up at the Big twelve media day. We got to
see him there a little bit. But he's been on
and off. You see him a handful of times. He
might do something on social media, but come to find
out on a serious note, he had been dealing with
bladder cancer. Now this is where correct me if I'm wrong,
Rob g This is where gets sketchy. Some purports are
(23:51):
his bladder was removed period. Others are some of his
bladder was removed, right, yes, part of it with the
part of it with the tumb I should tell you
for sure.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
He said today he depends on depends. That's a quote
from him. No, it's absolutely a quote from him. So
he says he's up and using the bathroom four or
five times a night into a colostomy bag.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, and I saw the bag.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
If you follow him on the gram he uh, there's
a video of him, you know, fishing, and then he
kind of like fades pans and then you see the
bag just sitting on I don't know, a bench or
so so obviously a tough situation for him, what he's
going through. He's been through so much physically over the
last decade twelve years or so. He had a staff infection,
(24:37):
he had infection in his leg after getting some some
footwork done to the tune of where he's got kind
of rough legs, scarred up legs, and then obviously he's
missing toes on his foot and now all of a
sudden this he's had blood clots and he's just had
a lot going on physically. And one of the things
I love about him Martin is that, and it's a
trait that honestly, I want to have more of. I
(24:59):
think I'm I'm okay with it. I think he found
the perfect balance of not telling you what's going on
per se, but also telling you and keeping a great disposition,
keeping a very you know, he's his faith in God
and his faith in you know, the power of God
in his life, and he just keeps a great attitude
of moving forward and encouraging. And I said that to
say he's not hiding things where we are. You know,
(25:21):
some people hard and then you find out they're going
through it, and maybe something bad happens because they've been
harboring something he just doesn't overly have to share, but
he even when he does. When he was going through
the foot stuff, he's like, hey man, he kept his
faith and I love that about him. As he's been
going through this, and he said he's ready to coach.
He's ready to go year three Colorado, and he's up
(25:41):
for the task. Obviously he's going to be difficult. Obviously
we're all wishing him the best with this. But just
remarkable all that he's been going through. Now knowing this
and given everything that's going on, right you're coaching, you
got you know, you got sons plural, you got other
kids that's your an adopted son if you will, and
Travis Hunter and all trying to go to the league.
And I just think that's remarkable all that he's been
(26:03):
able to do, and again coming off of so many
other surgeries that he's had to go through.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Yeah, he said today, I listened today the first five
ministers of his availability. He said today, he's had fourteen
surgeries in the last two years. He has had more
surgeries out of the game than he did in the game,
which is generally works in reverse for.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Most NFL players.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
You're going under the knife while you're playing, as opposed
to after the fact. But and I k everything you
say in terms of he looked like he was in
very good spirits today. He looked like I think, I
think to your point of he keeps his faith so on,
he also does a good job of presenting a very
(26:47):
strong front in moments like this.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And I think, not to go off on a too
far of a tangent.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But like a lot of people who are like twenty
years old or twenty five and under could take note
and like, you don't have to post everything every single
step off the way, you know, And I think that's
something that we see a lot out of a lot
of people who are younger and have grown up on
the internet. Deon Sanders, at each moment of these different
(27:15):
health instances that he's had, has both shared what happened,
but also shared in a way that projected his strength
and his ability to deal in his faith and so on.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
My secondary takeaway from this was.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
We might have to give Dion some grace here and
also Shadure Sanders from grace. And ultimately it's not about
what happened today, but about the draft. I think that
if you went back to the way that we talked
about Shador leading up to the draft process and the
way that leading up to the draft process and immediately
(27:55):
following there was a lot of how on earth My
biggest question, how on earth could they have been so wrong?
They're not having that Day one draft party if he
thinks he's a fifth round pick, right, Like that's Deon
Sanders knows enough to know.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
About the optics of what this looks like.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
You know, if your son's are going to be drafted
for seventy two more hours, maybe you order the catering
for Saturday afternoon instead of Thursday night.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
But and I have no reason to believe he's lying.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
But what Dion said today was, you know, I was
essentially lying to my kids, telling them that the reason
I was going to the doctor so much was from
my feet, right because I wanted my boys to focus
on their once in a lifetime opportunity to make it
to the NFL and play at a high level. And
so fourteenth thirty reason two years, you know, dealing with
(28:49):
all of this this offseason. He just recently he still
got a colostomy bag and he's going to the bathroom
four or five times a Night tells me that this
is not something that was resolved months and months ago.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
This was something that resolved weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Right, and may not even yeah, right, they say he's
cancer free, but obviously the post.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Right, and he's not all the way resolved.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Resolved is probably the wrong verb to you, But to me,
it's like, I went and I came on these areas
and was like, how could Dion Sanders, one of the
most plugged men who can seemingly hire just go through
his contact list and his iPhone and hire the next
It's just a coach of Colorado because all of them
played football, all of them Hall of famers.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
You want to name Michael, you name it, can go
get on the sideline.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
You know, it's a Hollywood Walk of Fame on the
sidelines of Colorado. How could he even so off about
the way the NFL felt about his son, because I
always thought that Chador was a probably a second or
third round pick that they got drafted in the fifth
round because he failed the interviews, right, he failed the
job interview part of it. Well, now I have maybe
(29:55):
a little bit of a better understanding as to why
the perception seemingly out of Boulder and in the NFL
was so wide, Dean had a lot more.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Going on than just getting his sons ready for the draft.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Yeah, I mean he might have been for the first
time disconnected or or I mean, listen, two things can
also be true or well, I don't know exactly your
you know, your take on it, or well, my thought
still being because of the interview fail because of Dion
being so much, and because of how NFL sometimes feels
about backup quarterbacks and guys who are gonna be the
(30:28):
circumstance around them, the pomping circumstance.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I don't want that around.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Hey, if I'm not gonna play this kid for another
two years, three years, he's I view him as a backup,
a third or fourth round pick ultimately would be a fifth,
then why do I want to bring him his fanfare,
his X amount of millions of followers that I'd have
to deal with, put him in, put him in people
who might come to the stadium, and obviously his father,
what y'all doing, baby, play my son, baby? You know,
(30:53):
going through all the day. And so I think there's
an element still that people are like, I don't want
to deal with that for a guy that I view
as a backup in a year where not a lot
of guys teams needed quarterbacks. So I think two things
he could have been clearly not could have He was
clearly going through something dion and maybe not as tapped
in as he normally would be. When you're dealing with
(31:14):
cancer the word now, I'm dealing with a bum knee, right,
it is not.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Like a torn ligament or something like that. That's something
he has experienced with.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Even a toe. Unfortunately they said he we gotta cut
another toe.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
He's been through that. Cancer is a whole different bag
and a different part of your body. So I do
think there's an element of what you're saying that he
had to deal with this. It may not have been
as locked inn or tapped in, but I still believe
there's an element of we didn't like hole cocky, how arrogant,
how he thinks he knows it all.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
So I think that's valid. I'm not taking that away.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
My thing is I think that dim probably would have
heard more about that, like about, hey, guys, this is
the current perception of how you're.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Being viewed, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Like, I think that maybe if there had been like
I just say that it makes sense now, or it
makes more sense at least there's a plausible reason why
there was no change in attitude or changing direction or
changeing approach to that, to that perspective up until I
mean after draft day, right, you know what I'm saying.
It was a day of the draft. They are moving
(32:18):
like it was like he was going in the first round. Yeah,
And so that's why that just makes it makes a
lot more sense.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
You.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I just still also think Dion has been Dion since
literally he was drafted with gold chains and you know,
the six sunglasses on. And I think part of them
is like do I want to deal with that with
this kid who isn't Andrew Luck?
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Sure, who isn't Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
You know, as far as that type of prospect, I
don't want that fan fear. I don't want that pomp
circumstance for guys gonna sit on my bench for two
to three years. Maybe I think that played a role
as well. But wishing d I think we both are
I can speak for both of us wishing him all
the best players up for Dion uh and just wishing
him the best. Coach Prime get back on your feet
and be able to do what you do for sure,
Play of the Day on the way. Plus, somebody has
(33:01):
some jokes on their way in the Cooperstown. We'll tell
you who that is. It's the Odd couple Martin Wison

Rob g and Alex Martin, were you here that day
we had the T Paine Nate dog conversation? No, no, no,
it was It was last week and we had that conversation.
It was what Kerrie Rhodes was here a couple by
the way, Kelvin Washington and that's is of course you
hear Martin weiss In for Rob on this Magic City
(33:48):
Monday And just to get before we get to play
the day, that was the conversation we had. We've had
this before early on when I started with this show.
T Paine or Nate Dogg and they two clear T
paying for them, and I said, I'll give you the solo, right.
I don't think that's closely. You can't name one or two,
but no hooks and all of that. I feel like
(34:08):
y'all sleeping on Nate Dog. And I do feel like that.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I mean, this is to me now, it's knocking on
the door of Cam Newton Jalen Hurts conversation, Like, I
get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Sure T Payn had a better solo career.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Sure Jalen Hurts has been one more playoff games.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Been to the super Bowl, super Bowl, MVP, all of that.
But the peaks that they dog hit.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
T Pain could Darry Wish, the peaks that Cam Newton
that fifteen to one team, get out of here, get
out of town.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Take that.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
My man's wrong on two points. Right now, it's okay, listen,
this can be the player today. Okay, don't play. I
mean this will be the player today right now. I
still don't know your answer to regulators because they don't
stop the.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Du what you mean that that's the best of all
of them? But Alex, you have a drop? Do you
have a T Paine drop?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
But you have a Nate Doug hold up, drop, Yeah,
what's up player today?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
That Rob G. That's not fair. You asked for that, Drop,
mind your business. I asked for before this conversation.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Ever he did to be fair, he also could have
asked for t Paine d Love.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
What make the.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
List look at you? Dj Ally Alex. Now, I can't lie.
I'm a big t paying guy too, but y'all just
said it a little too easily.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
On Ny Dog.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I didn't appreciate that. All right, Let's get to the
tire reck play of the day.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It's the center field rod Ree guys Rockchi did sis
right there? Mike Trout joins the.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Thousand RBI club a.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Two run bomb the center.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
All right, Angels Radio there on Mike Trout getting another
home run. By the way, Mike Trout, you're talking about
a baseball player about seven eight years ago. Was always
topic of conversation, and now it's just like, oh yeah,
Mike Trout, like it's still good any but just like.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
I mean, I feel like the topic of conversation about
Mike Trout was really are you a nerd?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Or do you like baseball?
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Because it was like either your voting Miguel Carbrere to
be the MVP of the America League, or your voting
Mike Trout, your voting Mike Trout if you're a nerd
in your voting mcgul Cabrera if you like baseball and
winning and you know, host eager performances.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
And sound like somebody that was in Detroit at the time.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
And also I stand against sabermetrics in general. Okay, I'm
not mad at that too. That was your tire rack
play the other day.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And for over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive shit fast and free back by free Road
has their protections with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot com.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
It is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
We have the TV's going on in here, and I
just looked at the Dodgers Reds game and they just
showed a little promo August eighth. First off, are you
all bobblehead people? Like?
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Do you like them? You collect them? See if you
collect them at all? Bibbleheads when you go.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
To a little bit, Yeah, I'm one of those, Like
I just did the pregame pre impost for the Dodgers,
not Saturday ago, and it was Fernando Veleezuez. So I'm like,
all right, he's a legend. He's passed away recently. As
I got it, they just kind of handed it cheese
walked in as I got to keep that. The reason
I bring that up. Let me tell you the Chaos said,
is gonna sue August eighth at Dodger Stadium. You know
who's getting a biblehead that night?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Otani?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
No, great guess, because those go crazy people line up
hours and hours and hours in advance. I think these
bibleheads are gonna go crazier than Otani. That's gonna give
you a clue. August eighth, Is that that day?
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Yes? That day? Yes? Yes, eight eight co ho. I
know Kobe's gonna be biblehead.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I said the same thing to Manci. Mancy's in the building.
Of course, she said, it's not even close to another
night that's coming up.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Really, wait is that night? Wait? Are you saying twenty fourth?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I don't know what day it is, but I can
tell you that the bobble coming up after that is
five times bigger than the Kobe Knight.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Okay, we already had about three o tiny Knights which
go crazy Kobe coming up eight to eight.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
It's not an athlete, said a Wormerton. It's not an athlete.
The only person I can think was Vince Scully.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Nope, that would be the only person I can think
that would make people really go crazy to the point.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
It's not an athlete, not an athlete, not even in sports,
not even a real person.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
It's a character. Oh God, this is gonna be like
freaking Darth Vader some anime. Hello Kitty, Oh yeah, that
is gonna be big. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
She says she's getting requests now for that, and Kobe
is before that. Kobe, God blessed it that. Kobe. Bryan
is so mad right now? Are y'all kidding me? Kobe?
Speaker 4 (38:47):
But I hope she's the Dodgers in shack and everybody
t mac. I hope she's wrong. I just let me
not get in trouble. Yellow kid. He was huge when
I was in high school, like grade school. I could
just I could see it.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
But I guess if you were telling they were gonna
do some pop up at Targeted Toys r us or something,
I get that. But Dodger Stadium with Kobe eight eight day.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Come on, I'm.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Disappointed in Dodger fans. Actually won't even be Dodger fans there.
Speaking of baseball, we got to talk about Bryce Harper too,
