But you know what, Manzi, I've been criticized. No, I've
been criticized, and I'm one of those who criticized this.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But I've been criticized that how did you grow up
in New York around a lot of Puerto Rican people
speak Spanish? And you know what I mean? And yet
you know I know more Yiddish than I know Spanish.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We know why?

Well, because also Queens and where I grew up in

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I'm from New York, and you know what I mean.
But I know a little pequito. I know a little Spanish,
but not.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It's just just keeps only saying poquito because that's the
way you can't say, you know, you say you only
know what that'd be solo? Right, Yeah, I know, lecha,
I know. Okay, look at your pan. You know pan
it's bread? Is that what it pans? Oh yo, you
gotta know. All you every day is chicken, letogo juices.
(03:11):
But I can't eggs wos.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I can't sit the name of that chicken restaurant.
Well you don't go there anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Right, Well you say that Rob, You like that person
who says the allen salmon They salamon, No salmon, man, salmon. Yeah,
let me get your salmon. I want some salmon.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I got a buddy, you're not listening.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
When he finally he thought he was growing up in
this world because he's a chicken tender and fried guy.
And we finally went out, you know, finally getting older,
and grown. Yeah, let me get the salamon. And I
looked at the waitress and I just now in my head, like,
let let my man have his growing. Y'all understand for him,
that's like you you don't really like what you like,
and that's it. This was massive for him. Yeah, let
(03:57):
me get the baked salmon and Cisco. Okay, okay, we're
right there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
We're getting better. And the waitress did a Danny Thomas
spit take all over.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Him because she just couldn't believe he said that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I don't know it. See, you know what the spit
take is? Anybody take? Okay, I just threw the name
because he's the one invent all right, a spit take?
How is that? Let's let's have let's take a double take.
Right now? Where were at? Robb g? Rob G at
the table.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I'll set the table before I do real quick peeling
back the curtain. Manty has a lot of fans on YouTube.
I don't like it, so I want to read this
one first. Okay, I really didn't like Manty at first,
but she does do a great job.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I bet.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
First of all, wait a minute, it makes no sense,
no context that Scott Shapiro should be commenting on the
YouTube chat.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I think that was Dan Byer.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Still here, I'm just saying, okay, all right, now that
that's out of the way.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The best part about it, Monts, you didn't have to
do anything to get better just exists.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
He was like, I ain't like her. I like her.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I didn't say I didn't like her first, but now
that I hear it, she does this, it's just said,
I ain't like Monty, I like Manti.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Oh gosh, all right, guys. NBA whity night was last night.
We had a doubleheader, two very well one entertaining game
and the early game was great. Yeah, Houston and okay, see.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
To Houston's a disaster.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
As you said, Houston, we got a problem.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
And the nightcap, Luca and the shorthanded Lakers got smacked
by Stephan the Warriors, despite Luca dropping forty three, twelve
and nine didn't was enough. Interestingly enough, though, coming out
of that game, one of the storylines that were seeing
develop here trickle out over the last you know, eight
(05:54):
hours or so, is what was going on with Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Obviously he didn't play.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
He's not gonna playuntil mid November at the earliest, and
several people, mostly on social media, pointed out, you know
what Lebron seems off. You know, it doesn't seem like
himself right there on the side. Jovan Buja, longtime Lakers insider,
friend of the show, friend of the show sometimes, was
on a podcast today as as he was in the
(06:22):
building and they asked him about it, and first he's like,
you know, I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's kind of a weird topic.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
But then he said this quote.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
The vibes with that situation talking about Lebron have not
been the best. I'll say so again, I don't really
want to go too much down that road, but he did.
I thought there were times just looking in the huddle
or looking at the bench that he wasn't as engaged
as he typically is when he out. You don't want
to project on the people what you think they're feeling
or acting like. But just in the observations I made
(06:53):
of his body language was not great, and I do
think it was a bit different than what has been
in the past, and this same situation where he's sitting out.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Lebron.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The last part of what he said, I one of
the parts that towards me and I agree within that look,
the camera wasn't on him quite as normally as much
as they are, and you don't want to read too
far into it, but Lebron is very very intentional, very calculated,
very aware. Knows this is a national game, knows this
is the NBA is back. It's a big deal. So
(07:27):
on NBC, everybody's watching it, you know what I mean,
Like Lebron is fully aware of what's going on. This
is Lucas now first year as a full season with
the team. Everybody's watching. Luca's in the best shape of
his life. You got DeAndre A and you got Marcus Smarts,
some new players. People are watching. It's versus Stephan the Warriors,
and for Lebron to look a bit disengaged, to look
(07:48):
distracted at times, to not be in there, that is
intentional from Lebron to me. Now, I don't know what
he's trying to imply. I don't know what he's trying
to say, but Lebron was saying something with us at
a time. Because if you can say a lot of
things about Lebron, but one thing you can't say is
historically Lebron's up dapping up teammates, got personal handshakes with
every last one of them, talking in their ear, cracking jokes,
(08:11):
having fun with them. That's one of the great things
about Lebron is he's very ingratiating to teammates, whether you're
a street clothes on the bench or whether you're another
star with me. And for him to not do that
screams louder than most people because he is usually that
with his teammates. So Rob, I feel like there's something there.
Is it the idea that you know didn't work out
the deal with the contract? Is it the idea that
(08:35):
you know maybe they're kind of moving forward. It feels
like the franchise are starting to move forward without him
saying you're here now, but we have to start thinking
of life without Lebron. I don't know, but something did
seem a little off for a big game, first game
of the season. Lebron totally knows those moments, totally owns
those moments totally, even tho if he wasn't playing, I'm
gonna be a part of it. I'm dapping up, I'm
(08:56):
doing this, and he wasn't that And for Lebron to
do something intentional We've seen him doing podcasts more than
ever lately, we see him golfing more than ever lately,
we see.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Him do a lot of uig or that's what he's
doing and and maybe he's acting like it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
So in last point too, with the sciatica, just just
a strange like to be out weeks, that's kind of
strange too, and that normally a day by day or
take it a week at the time, but to just know, oh,
he's going to be out for weeks is a bit strange.
So I don't know what's going on there. Can't that
be corrected if you wash your hair? Oh that's see,
I'm sorry when we need some head and shoulders or
(09:33):
something up in here. So yeah, that was someone else,
Reals Russell Westbrook or somebody'd be like, all right whatever,
even Steph kind of all right. Just in his own
Lebron is intentionally stand up during time I was wapping
up everybody. Ah stand you know, got a certain personal
handshake for me that felt like, hmmm, something seeing off.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
There's nothing off. This is Lebron who understands that his
time is coming gone in Los Angeles, that he's not
a main focal point that they didn't even offer him
even offer him, hey, an extension and then let you
turn it down or what that know, that was no
contract offered on the table. This is it. You're playing
it out, you're picking up your option and then that's it.
(10:14):
We're done. After that, players are coming in. U Ayton
came in.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Lebron's haven't even talked to him, you know, they didn't
call him and say, Lebron, what do you think about?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
But no, that was a Luca pit right, that was
a Luca My Luca wanted them or whatever. So Lebron's
not dumb. He understands what's happening, and slowly but surely,
the Lakers are moving forward without him. This is what
happens when you stick around too long and you think
you're gonna have the same cloud. You never have the
same cloud the whole time. Nobody, unless you play a
(10:47):
shorter period of time, gets gets to run the roots,
you know, the whole time, especially if you overstay. Most
guys Lebron came through the league with they're long gone.
They're all long gone. Lebron's still playing five seven, seven
years after all the people, you know what I mean, Like,
that's a long time after the fact, so he knows
(11:10):
what's going on.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's why he's disengaged. Happens. No, that's why I said
everything he does is intentional. But I will say this
is this is to me, if this ends up being
the last year, and if there's gonna be this up
and down roller coaster or stuff like this, this isn't
how you want it to end. Like you, Lebron has
been a lot of things. He could be that and
(11:31):
and and you can love him, hating whatever, but like
he hasn't had a lot of blemishes in that type
of attitudes.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You might not. I should have took the last shot,
he should have passed the ball.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I don't like that he changed teams, and you know,
but the idea of like how he's conducted like you
don't want to You wouldn't want it to go out
like that, especially with the career he's had, like what
he means to basketball, where he is in the pantheons
of basketball. But but you wouldn't want it to go
out like that. That is way for a long time.
I don't disagree.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And now when you all of a sudden pulled back
and be like it's not gonna be your way we're
moving forward. We have our star of the future. We
gave him the big contract. He's bringing in people who
he thinks compliment his game. When that happens, people powered.
He's used to getting his way and and he doesn't
(12:21):
want it to be that way. He still want thinking
as long.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
As I'm on a team, no matter who you bring in,
you should still come to me and I should be
signing off on stuff. And I think that's a.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Root awake that you took the for I was just
getting ready to say it's a rude awakening when since
probably fourteen's this whole life, no you you thirteen, probably
you've been like, this is your world. And in fact
he's become this son right that everything else orbits around him.
And this is the first time somebody was like, nah, brother,
you might have to just be Mercury Mars or you know,
(12:54):
you're a part of this. But there's new orbit, there's
new sun. This thing that everybody's orbiting is Luca, and
I think that's that could be a very foreign place
to be for.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Hey, hey, Lebron, are you picking up your player option?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yes or no?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
What you ain't got no other table in conversation one
in one. You got another seventy five million on there
for me to pick up if I want.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
But you have to if you're at some point like
the Lakers loved Kobe Bryant and it got bad at
the end. He was their injured all the time. He
was their own at the end, right, and he was
their own and it got bad and it burned him
on the on the back end, and you got new ownership.
They're trying to progress and get back to you know, championships.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
All right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. What
did you think about Lebron's pouting last night on the bench.

Speaker 7 (17:23):
Man, I appreciate you, guys. I gotta get it on Lebron.
I'm so sick of this dude. Passive, aggressive, whiney poudy.
The chosen one ain't so chosen. You know, he's over
states welcome at least by five years. He should have
walked away after the asterisk from Bubble Championship and went
(17:44):
and played golf and.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Left us alone.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Well there it is. Sometimes you stay too long. Appreciate
the call, Brian. It can't go sideways for you. I
don't mind the time. I just think me and Rob
do you talked about this. I just think we'll take
some call. I'll tell you a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Go ahead, Johnny in Minnesota. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Johnny?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Hey, Rob and Kelvin.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
How are you all doing today?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Man, thank you?
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Yes, hey, Rob, he told me to call you back
when the Lakers beat us in Game five last year?
Was that the year before? Anyways?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes, I guess that's why you call back, you guys.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
I believe you guys. Just brought up the three my
three favorite players, uh, Kobe, Michael, Michael, Kobe and Lebron.
Tho's got to be the last the best three players
in the last thirty years. And when when Lebron goals,
it's gonna be like sad like Kobe. Man, That's all
I gotta say.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I listen.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I do think once he's gone, I think we'll get
further away from realize how tremendous he was and the
choke hold on the league.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
No, you will the choke hold that he had on
the league. But there'll be a lot of people be like,
good ridden.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I don't disagree with that, but I'm saying, once you
start to see the documentaries and and by the way,
I mean I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Can we get can we Yeah, what just because we
we like to have a vision is history?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Like, go ahead, get some costs, go ahead, just get
some casts.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Andre in Massachusetts, save us. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
What's up, Dre?
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Hey, how you doing? Thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
The fact that the matter is Lebron is Robin right now,
the Batman days are overs, and his feelings then he
can't accept it. And by the in fact, no matter.
It's a shame because Luka Doncic arguably the best player
he's ever played with in his career, and he has
an opportunity i e. Tim Duncan going back to ninety nine,
two thousand and three, to be in the conversation to
(19:36):
win a championship with this team. They're not going to
be the favorites right now. Oka see in Houston. But
if Lebron was bought in doing what he needs to do,
he's not a young man anymore. Luca Doncis is twenty seven,
He's coming up into his Larry Legend years. Okay, so
it has to be through Luca. But because Lebron is
not the Batman, he's not the pseudo GM that's just
(19:57):
too much for him to accept, and it's a crying
shame because this is an opportunity for him to go
out with some dignity and still being in the conversation
to compete. So, Lebron James, you created the player empowerment era,
right Yet, Calvin you one hundred percent, he does master
the narrative and everything is intentional and he wants to
control the news cycle. And that's exactly what he's doing, pouting,
(20:18):
putting out these vibes to create this secondary story which
might take its all the way to the season.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Like me, let me say this, Andre, because your point
is well taken, let me say this to you too.
It's kind of like the Jerry Jones thing, Like he.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Doesn't want to win a Super Bowl unless he's the GM,
and it's his way. Do you know what I'm saying, Like,
instead of being like I already won three super Bowls,
I had a dynasty, I'll hire the right people, I'm
gonna get credit, I'm gonna be holding the trophy at
the end of the day, he doesn't want to hold
the trophy unless he's the general manager.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
We don't win in my way winning, We ain't winning.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And you brought up a great point, Drake, thanks for
the call that Tim Duncan is a perfect example of
nobody was screaming for Tim to leave. And he had played,
you know, I don't know, seventeen eighteen years, but because
he kind of was out the way played ball, he
played his position, he played the role. He had understood
that it's not Qui's team, it's Tony Parkers, you know,
so on and so forth, and and that there's a
there's a way to age with grace, is my point.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You can do that real quick.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Orlando nl Passo, you're on the odd couple Fox Sports
Radio on this Worship Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
What's up my man?
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Hey, Rob, Hey, listen, let me start off like this, Rob.
Someone called me an la hater those thousands of people around,
and guess what I did, Rob around?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, I admitted to that. I was in front of Crypto. Yeah,
and uh, somebody said, hey, you l a hater, and
I did turn around. I thought he was talking.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
About what he were though.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Hey hey heyro We embraced it, so it's all good.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's all good.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
Lebron's is the same old, same old pasive regretsive it's
about me, me, me me, If he wins. All it's
all good is because Lebron Kerry Corps says, money he
loses is.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Lebron's everybody else?
Speaker 10 (21:59):
Yes, yeah, it's always the same, same o Lebron. But
I love it because once mister jj at Riley over here,
mister Plumber of his own era, you know, one night
he goes down and he gets canned. I wonder who
they're going to blame that error.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Is crazy, Orlando Plumber of his own aras crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Very nice. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (22:21):

I did lick one. I wasn't sure which one to Yeah,
I wasn't sure what to respond either. There's why did
you hear me? Get background?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I was like, how do I what do I do it?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Do I say what I would say off air?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
No, Monty, be careful. We want to save your job.
Of course, I'm trying to save your job.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Unfortunately, all our jobs to save your job Rob G.
What did I tell you right when Rob G signed
on to this show. What I say to you, it's
about my only job is to make sure that rob
gets the retirement.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
That's all I said. Like, that's your job is to
make sure I can get to a t and fighting
for his life. Yes, if you made a kids so
hard for him, he go home sweating and crying and
just Rob G pulls up to the house and he
just sits in the driveway for forty five minutes. It
just decompresses, like it contemplates. All right, well, thank you
and Rob G.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
We do have a new baseball manager in the Major League?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We do?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Is that like a hint for me to set it up.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Right there?
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But I would try to do it with said, my
only job is to make sure that you don't get fired.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Want and to set the table just say it. Yes,
rob have his popping them?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, I want to have my pop them.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I want to say, you confidence pop them? There you go.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Yes, the sound is Giants have a new manager. It
is a groundbreaking higher that apparently one person at least
is not happy about. The Giants have hired Tennessee baseball
coach Tony Vittello as their next manager. Okay, he has
(24:20):
never coached in the majors. He has never coached in
the miners, and as a result, he is the first
manager in MLB history to have never managed at any
level in the pros.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Buster Posey the former catcher who's an icon with the
San Francisco Giants, and I understand they won the three
World Series when he was there. He's beloved and for
a little bit last year, remember the Giants got off
to a good start, and everybody's like, oh, Buster, he
made the trade to bolster their team. All that, But
(24:54):
this move by Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants
is total bus league would a capital b Ain't no
way you're setting like trying to re.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Establish the market, change the criteria to get somebody to
be a major league manager.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
This is a pipe dream.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
And this is like throwing a stone in the ocean
hoping that it hits a whale out there somehow and
it's gonna work out.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
People, in order to become a major league managers put
in time and effort. Guys have set on the bench
for twenty years for an opportunity to be a major
league manager. Seriously, there are all kinds of people who
are looking for opportunities, who have worked in the minor leagues,
who have put in the work and all that. It
(25:49):
ain't fair. I don't care what he did in college.
I don't care two of the players on the roster
now played for him in college or whatever.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I don't care. This is bad, bad for baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Had nothing to do with what he's done at Where
was he Tennessee, Tennessee, right, Rob g Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
It's nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's just like an opportunity that is way over his
skis that only looks like this is going to be
wind up being a disaster winning respect in the clubhouse
from players.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And all that.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
This is a tall order. We saw this years ago,
didn't They didn't know There Dame hire a high school coach.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Once Notre Dame hired a high school coach from Cincinnati
didn't work out. All I'm saying, Kelvin, is that this
is breaking all the coach in Major League Baseball, that
this is the first guy ever, ever, ever, ever to
get a job without at least being a coach somewhere.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'm paying some other dues in a minor leagues.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Well, I disagree.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And here's why someone always has to be the first,
Someone always has to break the mold, something always has
to be new. And also we see this happen in
the NBA, NFL all the time. You can be Bobby Knight.
We won Bobby Knight. They were trying to get him
for years, trying to get Toms or as you know,
you know, being in Michigan trying to get coach.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Come again, trying to get coach k champions.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And then you get the Rick Patinos, you get the
Billy Donovans, you get guys who come into from college
into the pros. You get the Larry Browns. So my
point is, we see this happen in NFL all the time.
You guys come NFL, Well, you would never coach anywhere that.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
This guy he is at coach. He's at coach with college.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
No no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
So I understand to say, isn't in the pros. But
my point is we get people who are pulled from
the college ranks to be a coach in the pros
and then they whether they fail or to succeed, there's
the opportunity. But it happens all the time. Why can
it happen to MLB, what happens to another maj You
know what division you're in?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
The San Francisco Giants know what division they're in? What
what they're familiar? Okay, what they're up again?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
But no, no leaves me to my second point though, Okay,
so are you throwing the towel in?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Is that what I'm asking? What?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I'm glad you brought that up. And what this move
shows me is we talk about it all the time
here and I bring it up. The gone of the
days of having that manager who is the guy he
has the absolute pulse of the team.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
He is the face.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You know, he might not be the face as far
as the star of the team, but he has the
entire ethos of this team.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
We know now this is run very corporately.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Now you have all the analytics guys with the GM
that's connected with all the analytics and the and they're
pioneering and they're making the things for the manager. Here's
what we're going to do. Here's our system of how
we want to run this thing. Can you be okay
with doing that? This isn't the days of you're the manager,
hands off.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
We're over here. Those days are gone.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
And this shows me to me, he must have the
same type of mindset, same type of approach to things.
And they're like, here's our guy who will run our system,
not saying, hey, Rob Parker, we think you're a great skipper.
You've done your thing here the keys, do what you want.
Those days are gone. Can can they give you the
history of the San Francisco Giants. Who has some of
the greatest players who have ever played there. Okay, they
(29:07):
have a storied history.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Willie Mays played there, Willie McCovey, Barry Bonds, This team
won three championships in a six year span. The greatest
manager of Major League Baseball history, Bruce Boche went to
five World Series one four, went to five in his career,
was a manager there. And you're telling the people of
San Francisco seriously that your next skipper has no experience
(29:34):
in the major leagues at all. This ain't Charlotte or
some offshot franchise.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
And I say Charlotte NBA, but you know what I mean,
like like some franchise like that where they're willing to
get to give it a shot because they've never won anything,
They've never had the greatest players who ever played the
game in those places. I get it.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I do.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Can you imagine if the Yankees said, Okay, we're gonna
give it to Aaron Boone and hire a guy who's
the baseball coach at Fordham Are you are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I'm serious. It would not be taking. People would be like,
what New York Yankees. Here's counter here's my counter to that.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
That could have not how I get what you're saying
with the Yankees, but I do think Silicon Valley. We
see it with the Warriors, we see it with the Giants.
Now it's a different era, different area, different mindset. Very
innovative guys are always ahead of the curve that whole court.
I completely agree with the Yankees because it's the ethos
we don't do this, we don't do mustache. They finally
(30:34):
changing it, but we, you know, a nott to have this.
It's like a certain way of culture in the Bay Area.
It's different. Being innovative would not accept it. That's why
I said the Bay Area. I said specifically the Bay Area,
and I think they're willing to go with this. And again,
you brought up a guy who was part of those
three championships with bust to Posey. This isn't if he
feels this is the guy. I'm not saying it's gonna
(30:55):
work OIC. We all don't know that, but I'm saying
he clearly feels this guy fits the future of what
doing fits our system.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
And I think you might start seeing.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
More of that because, like I said, I don't right
now on our screen here, one of our twenty six
TVs is the Big Ten Network, and we see what
Irver Meyer College to the pros. We see it all
the time in NBA, we see it all the time
in the NFL. Why can't MLB do it? Because it's
I'm really asking you the question.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Because the difference is just what you said is there
is no league between the two. There is no league
for you to go to if you were a college
basketball coach, there's no in between league to get you
to the next one. So that's the natural progression. The
difference between a high school baseball player going to the
major leagues, right.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Is there's a minor league system, and the same thing
with the NFL. There's college football and there's NFL football,
not the UFL or whatever those other bogus leagues are.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
There's no intermediate league. And that's the difference. Why, yes,
you do go from college basketball to the NBA. There
is no other middle league to learn from. That's the
natural progression.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
There is a minor league, and it's a long standing
minor league where people have put in a lot of energy,
time and stuff. And I'm just saying for a franchise
like the San Francisco Giants, most fans I would be surprised.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
I don't know that if they're not that this is
bush league for that franchise. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
This is not and also ran some franchise. Do you
know what kind of attendance they get and what kind
of crow they don't love? The Giants go every year
to a game there. I've never been to that place
where every seat is at film And that's why I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Buster Posey knows that better than me and you, So
I feel like he has to have a post where
maybe he understands they're okay this or the opposite.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I don't care if they're not.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
This is something they're going to learn to love once
we you know, in his mind obviously because he made
the decision, we become successful. But I just really wanted
to ask you that because you've been covering like we
see this all the time in the NBA. We see
this all time in the NFL. They see the clamoring
the NBA with for twenty years, was clamoring to get
coach k literally pleading throwing them a bag. Kobe Bryant like,
please come, coach Flicker like, there's no doubt that people
(33:16):
want these college ranked you. The Lakers wanted Dan Hurley
like this happens in the NFL, NBA, and I'm like why.
I'm just like, why doesn't happen in MLB's But and
I get what you mean with the the that minor league.
The only thing I would say their version of that
is top not schools in the NBA, NFL. That would
be your minor league. If you coach at Florida, coach
at Alabama, coach at UNC, you know basketball and duke basketball.
(33:37):
All right, one's gotta go on the way. We'll hit
you up with that in just a moment. Stick around
for it. Thee I couple Robin Kelvin on a worship Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
All right, one has gotta go. This is an honor
of We'll running out of time, so I'll get to
it quickly. If you not heard, uh there was a
heist at the Louver, the museum and Paris in France,
and uh past me some Louver. Oh you know, Rozie,
you ain't gonna you ain't gonn Yeah, he ain't gonna
(34:59):
make it.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Robbie just done. Ain't worry about it no more. Yeah,
we know.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
So they went in there, they stole a bunch of
stuff and they're trying to figure out who did it.
It looked like a heist movie like Ocean's twenty six
or something like that, the way they would do it
if you had a chance to see all the stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
They put on a video.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
So got me thinking. The Louver is the most traveled
museum in the world. So the conversation is, these types
of attractions around the world, Manti rob g Alex rob
One has to go these national, these worldly, global treasures,
the Eiffel Tower, the Louver, the Great Wall of China,
the Statue of Liberty, and the Colosseum one of these
(35:36):
great monuments of the world that everybody knows. They travel,
they take pictures in front of Colosseum here in southern California. No,
not that one, the original, the one where Gladiator took
place in Rome. In Rome, I've been there.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
It's bigger than you thought.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Oh yeah, right, and then just thinking, man, people were
just killing themselves as a form of sport.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
It's still stand. It's remarkable if you've ever been. You
gotta check it. It's bigger than you think it is
to think, you know, cranes, no stuff to get it done?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
How do you do it?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Martians are unbelievable pyramids all that?
Speaker 4 (36:08):
All right? Which one has to go?
Speaker 3 (36:09):
One? You can say, hey, I could do it out
as far as traveling, visiting, and you know it's significance.
The Colosseum, the Louver, obviously this is the origin of
the point of it. Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall
of China, the Eiffel Tower? Which one so easy?
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Which which one?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
The Louver?
Speaker 4 (36:25):
I mean you're talking about a museum.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
The other ones are like these, you know, Uhmark Ladmark places,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Like the Great Wall of China? What are you doing
with that?
Speaker 11 (36:35):
The Eiffel Towers, the stud that Statue of Liberty? Robbed G, No,
you disagree. This one's easy for me. But it's not
the Louver. It's the Great Wall of China. You know,
me and my people don't do well walls.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Just saying where's the button Alex, rob g Cautu, where's
the button?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Where's the button for rob G? If I said that
they would be.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Up and all racist yes, I can say that.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Yeah, you can't people.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, when you put people and you people and what
you got out of Alex Monti.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
It has to be the lorve. For me, I didn't
ever know.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I just forgot it existed. All the other ones are
you know, I've either been or I want to go.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
You pay to go to the nerve. It's like, yeah,
you think you pay, you got to go to pay
to go to Statue Liberty. No, I could see it
from a far I said, pay to go to. I
didn't know. You couldn't see it, Alex. You want to
get deeper to simple?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
We don't have time for Yeah, simple. We all said simple, simple, Please,
we know how deep you are.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Pretty deep. Okay, but it's asleep.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Statue of liberty. What No, I'm saying, that's your answer
for sure, Statue of Liberty. It was not a gift,
now did we it? It's bad? Oh? I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Was it not good? Well?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Was it high? Was it?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
We did? Still a lot in this country. It's not
good nerve. I don't know. People stole that so a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I think for me, it's the it's the it's the louver.
It's I've been there. And it's great, but the other
the other ones are just amazing marvels to be made.
But I don't want to hear more about this Statue
of liberty

(02:11):
But you know what, Manzi, I've been criticized. No, I've
been criticized, and I'm one of those who criticized this.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But I've been criticized that how did you grow up
in New York around a lot of Puerto Rican people
speak Spanish? And you know what I mean? And yet
you know I know more Yiddish than I know Spanish.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We know why?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, because also Queens and where I grew up in
my high school. I have a lot of Jewish friends
as well.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You do, I know you do. You're from New York.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I'm from New York, and you know what I mean.
But I know a little pequito. I know a little Spanish,
but not.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It's just just keeps only saying poquito because that's the
way you can't say, you know, you say you only
know what that'd be solo? Right, Yeah, I know, lecha,
I know. Okay, look at your pan. You know pan
it's bread? Is that what it pans? Oh yo, you
gotta know. All you every day is chicken, letogo juices.
(03:11):
But I can't eggs wos.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I can't sit the name of that chicken restaurant.
Well you don't go there anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Right, Well you say that Rob, You like that person
who says the allen salmon They salamon, No salmon, man, salmon. Yeah,
let me get your salmon. I want some salmon.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I got a buddy, you're not listening.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
When he finally he thought he was growing up in
this world because he's a chicken tender and fried guy.
And we finally went out, you know, finally getting older,
and grown. Yeah, let me get the salamon. And I
looked at the waitress and I just now in my head, like,
let let my man have his growing. Y'all understand for him,
that's like you you don't really like what you like,
and that's it. This was massive for him. Yeah, let
(03:57):
me get the baked salmon and Cisco. Okay, okay, we're
right there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
We're getting better. And the waitress did a Danny Thomas
spit take all over.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Him because she just couldn't believe he said that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I don't know it. See, you know what the spit
take is? Anybody take? Okay, I just threw the name
because he's the one invent all right, a spit take?
How is that? Let's let's have let's take a double take.
Right now? Where were at? Robb g? Rob G at
the table.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I'll set the table before I do real quick peeling
back the curtain. Manty has a lot of fans on YouTube.
I don't like it, so I want to read this
one first. Okay, I really didn't like Manty at first,
but she does do a great job.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I bet.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
First of all, wait a minute, it makes no sense,
no context that Scott Shapiro should be commenting on the
YouTube chat.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I think that was Dan Byer.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Still here, I'm just saying, okay, all right, now that
that's out of the way.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The best part about it, Monts, you didn't have to
do anything to get better just exists.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
He was like, I ain't like her. I like her.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I didn't say I didn't like her first, but now
that I hear it, she does this, it's just said,
I ain't like Monty, I like Manti.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Oh gosh, all right, guys. NBA whity night was last night.
We had a doubleheader, two very well one entertaining game
and the early game was great. Yeah, Houston and okay, see.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
To Houston's a disaster.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
As you said, Houston, we got a problem.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
And the nightcap, Luca and the shorthanded Lakers got smacked
by Stephan the Warriors, despite Luca dropping forty three, twelve
and nine didn't was enough. Interestingly enough, though, coming out
of that game, one of the storylines that were seeing
develop here trickle out over the last you know, eight
(05:54):
hours or so, is what was going on with Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Obviously he didn't play.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
He's not gonna playuntil mid November at the earliest, and
several people, mostly on social media, pointed out, you know
what Lebron seems off. You know, it doesn't seem like
himself right there on the side. Jovan Buja, longtime Lakers insider,
friend of the show, friend of the show sometimes, was
on a podcast today as as he was in the
(06:22):
building and they asked him about it, and first he's like,
you know, I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's kind of a weird topic.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
But then he said this quote.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
The vibes with that situation talking about Lebron have not
been the best. I'll say so again, I don't really
want to go too much down that road, but he did.
I thought there were times just looking in the huddle
or looking at the bench that he wasn't as engaged
as he typically is when he out. You don't want
to project on the people what you think they're feeling
or acting like. But just in the observations I made
(06:53):
of his body language was not great, and I do
think it was a bit different than what has been
in the past, and this same situation where he's sitting out.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Lebron.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The last part of what he said, I one of
the parts that towards me and I agree within that look,
the camera wasn't on him quite as normally as much
as they are, and you don't want to read too
far into it, but Lebron is very very intentional, very calculated,
very aware. Knows this is a national game, knows this
is the NBA is back. It's a big deal. So
(07:27):
on NBC, everybody's watching it, you know what I mean,
Like Lebron is fully aware of what's going on. This
is Lucas now first year as a full season with
the team. Everybody's watching. Luca's in the best shape of
his life. You got DeAndre A and you got Marcus Smarts,
some new players. People are watching. It's versus Stephan the Warriors,
and for Lebron to look a bit disengaged, to look
(07:48):
distracted at times, to not be in there, that is
intentional from Lebron to me. Now, I don't know what
he's trying to imply. I don't know what he's trying
to say, but Lebron was saying something with us at
a time. Because if you can say a lot of
things about Lebron, but one thing you can't say is
historically Lebron's up dapping up teammates, got personal handshakes with
every last one of them, talking in their ear, cracking jokes,
(08:11):
having fun with them. That's one of the great things
about Lebron is he's very ingratiating to teammates, whether you're
a street clothes on the bench or whether you're another
star with me. And for him to not do that
screams louder than most people because he is usually that
with his teammates. So Rob, I feel like there's something there.
Is it the idea that you know didn't work out
the deal with the contract? Is it the idea that
(08:35):
you know maybe they're kind of moving forward. It feels
like the franchise are starting to move forward without him
saying you're here now, but we have to start thinking
of life without Lebron. I don't know, but something did
seem a little off for a big game, first game
of the season. Lebron totally knows those moments, totally owns
those moments totally, even tho if he wasn't playing, I'm
gonna be a part of it. I'm dapping up, I'm
(08:56):
doing this, and he wasn't that And for Lebron to
do something intentional We've seen him doing podcasts more than
ever lately, we see him golfing more than ever lately,
we see.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Him do a lot of uig or that's what he's
doing and and maybe he's acting like it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
So in last point too, with the sciatica, just just
a strange like to be out weeks, that's kind of
strange too, and that normally a day by day or
take it a week at the time, but to just know, oh,
he's going to be out for weeks is a bit strange.
So I don't know what's going on there. Can't that
be corrected if you wash your hair? Oh that's see,
I'm sorry when we need some head and shoulders or
(09:33):
something up in here. So yeah, that was someone else,
Reals Russell Westbrook or somebody'd be like, all right whatever,
even Steph kind of all right. Just in his own
Lebron is intentionally stand up during time I was wapping
up everybody. Ah stand you know, got a certain personal
handshake for me that felt like, hmmm, something seeing off.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
There's nothing off. This is Lebron who understands that his
time is coming gone in Los Angeles, that he's not
a main focal point that they didn't even offer him
even offer him, hey, an extension and then let you
turn it down or what that know, that was no
contract offered on the table. This is it. You're playing
it out, you're picking up your option and then that's it.
(10:14):
We're done. After that, players are coming in. U Ayton
came in.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Lebron's haven't even talked to him, you know, they didn't
call him and say, Lebron, what do you think about?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
But no, that was a Luca pit right, that was
a Luca My Luca wanted them or whatever. So Lebron's
not dumb. He understands what's happening, and slowly but surely,
the Lakers are moving forward without him. This is what
happens when you stick around too long and you think
you're gonna have the same cloud. You never have the
same cloud the whole time. Nobody, unless you play a
(10:47):
shorter period of time, gets gets to run the roots,
you know, the whole time, especially if you overstay. Most
guys Lebron came through the league with they're long gone.
They're all long gone. Lebron's still playing five seven, seven
years after all the people, you know what I mean, Like,
that's a long time after the fact, so he knows
(11:10):
what's going on.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's why he's disengaged. Happens. No, that's why I said
everything he does is intentional. But I will say this
is this is to me, if this ends up being
the last year, and if there's gonna be this up
and down roller coaster or stuff like this, this isn't
how you want it to end. Like you, Lebron has
been a lot of things. He could be that and
(11:31):
and and you can love him, hating whatever, but like
he hasn't had a lot of blemishes in that type
of attitudes.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You might not. I should have took the last shot,
he should have passed the ball.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I don't like that he changed teams, and you know,
but the idea of like how he's conducted like you
don't want to You wouldn't want it to go out
like that, especially with the career he's had, like what
he means to basketball, where he is in the pantheons
of basketball. But but you wouldn't want it to go
out like that. That is way for a long time.
I don't disagree.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And now when you all of a sudden pulled back
and be like it's not gonna be your way we're
moving forward. We have our star of the future. We
gave him the big contract. He's bringing in people who
he thinks compliment his game. When that happens, people powered.
He's used to getting his way and and he doesn't
(12:21):
want it to be that way. He still want thinking
as long.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
As I'm on a team, no matter who you bring in,
you should still come to me and I should be
signing off on stuff. And I think that's a.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Root awake that you took the for I was just
getting ready to say it's a rude awakening when since
probably fourteen's this whole life, no you you thirteen, probably
you've been like, this is your world. And in fact
he's become this son right that everything else orbits around him.
And this is the first time somebody was like, nah, brother,
you might have to just be Mercury Mars or you know,
(12:54):
you're a part of this. But there's new orbit, there's
new sun. This thing that everybody's orbiting is Luca, and
I think that's that could be a very foreign place
to be for.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Hey, hey, Lebron, are you picking up your player option?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yes or no?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
What you ain't got no other table in conversation one
in one. You got another seventy five million on there
for me to pick up if I want.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
But you have to if you're at some point like
the Lakers loved Kobe Bryant and it got bad at
the end. He was their injured all the time. He
was their own at the end, right, and he was
their own and it got bad and it burned him
on the on the back end, and you got new ownership.
They're trying to progress and get back to you know, championships.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
All right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. What
did you think about Lebron's pouting last night on the bench.
We'll have We'll continue that conversation next with you. It

say Saga?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Is the Indian Elijah? Is that fair? Rob caution? Racist? Racist? Racist?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Now I feel like you're not watching the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You just don't get it.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Clear, you don't You.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Got it all right? Lebron seemed a little off. Seemed
like he was trying to send a message.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
What do you think anything now? You can't know just
when you're when? You know? That's saying a lot done?
All right, say I'm.
Speaker 3 (17:07):

Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Man, love you guys, Thank you, appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Man, I appreciate you, guys. I gotta get it on Lebron.
I'm so sick of this dude. Passive, aggressive, whiney poudy.
The chosen one ain't so chosen. You know, he's over
states welcome at least by five years. He should have
walked away after the asterisk from Bubble Championship and went
(17:44):
and played golf and.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Left us alone.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Well there it is. Sometimes you stay too long. Appreciate
the call, Brian. It can't go sideways for you. I
don't mind the time. I just think me and Rob
do you talked about this. I just think we'll take
some call. I'll tell you a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Go ahead, Johnny in Minnesota. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Johnny?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Hey, Rob and Kelvin.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
How are you all doing today?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Man, thank you?
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Yes, hey, Rob, he told me to call you back
when the Lakers beat us in Game five last year?
Was that the year before? Anyways?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes, I guess that's why you call back, you guys.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
I believe you guys. Just brought up the three my
three favorite players, uh, Kobe, Michael, Michael, Kobe and Lebron.
Tho's got to be the last the best three players
in the last thirty years. And when when Lebron goals,
it's gonna be like sad like Kobe. Man, That's all
I gotta say.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I listen.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I do think once he's gone, I think we'll get
further away from realize how tremendous he was and the
choke hold on the league.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
No, you will the choke hold that he had on
the league. But there'll be a lot of people be like,
good ridden.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I don't disagree with that, but I'm saying, once you
start to see the documentaries and and by the way,
I mean I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Can we get can we Yeah, what just because we
we like to have a vision is history?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Like, go ahead, get some costs, go ahead, just get
some casts.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Andre in Massachusetts, save us. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
What's up, Dre?
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Hey, how you doing? Thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
The fact that the matter is Lebron is Robin right now,
the Batman days are overs, and his feelings then he
can't accept it. And by the in fact, no matter.
It's a shame because Luka Doncic arguably the best player
he's ever played with in his career, and he has
an opportunity i e. Tim Duncan going back to ninety nine,
two thousand and three, to be in the conversation to
(19:36):
win a championship with this team. They're not going to
be the favorites right now. Oka see in Houston. But
if Lebron was bought in doing what he needs to do,
he's not a young man anymore. Luca Doncis is twenty seven,
He's coming up into his Larry Legend years. Okay, so
it has to be through Luca. But because Lebron is
not the Batman, he's not the pseudo GM that's just
(19:57):
too much for him to accept, and it's a crying
shame because this is an opportunity for him to go
out with some dignity and still being in the conversation
to compete. So, Lebron James, you created the player empowerment era,
right Yet, Calvin you one hundred percent, he does master
the narrative and everything is intentional and he wants to
control the news cycle. And that's exactly what he's doing, pouting,
(20:18):
putting out these vibes to create this secondary story which
might take its all the way to the season.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Like me, let me say this, Andre, because your point
is well taken, let me say this to you too.
It's kind of like the Jerry Jones thing, Like he.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Doesn't want to win a Super Bowl unless he's the GM,
and it's his way. Do you know what I'm saying, Like,
instead of being like I already won three super Bowls,
I had a dynasty, I'll hire the right people, I'm
gonna get credit, I'm gonna be holding the trophy at
the end of the day, he doesn't want to hold
the trophy unless he's the general manager.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
We don't win in my way winning, We ain't winning.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And you brought up a great point, Drake, thanks for
the call that Tim Duncan is a perfect example of
nobody was screaming for Tim to leave. And he had played,
you know, I don't know, seventeen eighteen years, but because
he kind of was out the way played ball, he
played his position, he played the role. He had understood
that it's not Qui's team, it's Tony Parkers, you know,
so on and so forth, and and that there's a
there's a way to age with grace, is my point.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You can do that real quick.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Orlando nl Passo, you're on the odd couple Fox Sports
Radio on this Worship Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
What's up my man?
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Hey, Rob, Hey, listen, let me start off like this, Rob.
Someone called me an la hater those thousands of people around,
and guess what I did, Rob around?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, I admitted to that. I was in front of Crypto. Yeah,
and uh, somebody said, hey, you l a hater, and
I did turn around. I thought he was talking.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
About what he were though.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Hey hey heyro We embraced it, so it's all good.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's all good.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
Lebron's is the same old, same old pasive regretsive it's
about me, me, me me, If he wins. All it's
all good is because Lebron Kerry Corps says, money he
loses is.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Lebron's everybody else?
Speaker 10 (21:59):
Yes, yeah, it's always the same, same o Lebron. But
I love it because once mister jj at Riley over here,
mister Plumber of his own era, you know, one night
he goes down and he gets canned. I wonder who
they're going to blame that error.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Is crazy, Orlando Plumber of his own aras crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Very nice. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
No doubt.

I wasn't sure what to respond either. There's why did
you hear me? Get background?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I was like, how do I what do I do it?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
No, Monty, be careful. We want to save your job.
Of course, I'm trying to save your job.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Unfortunately, all our jobs to save your job Rob G.
What did I tell you right when Rob G signed
on to this show. What I say to you, it's
about my only job is to make sure that rob
gets the retirement.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
That's all I said. Like, that's your job is to
make sure I can get to a t and fighting
for his life. Yes, if you made a kids so
hard for him, he go home sweating and crying and
just Rob G pulls up to the house and he
just sits in the driveway for forty five minutes. It
just decompresses, like it contemplates. All right, well, thank you
and Rob G.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
We do have a new baseball manager in the Major League?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We do?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Is that like a hint for me to set it up.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Right there?
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But I would try to do it with said, my
only job is to make sure that you don't get fired.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Want and to set the table just say it. Yes,
rob have his popping them?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, I want to have my pop them.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I want to say, you confidence pop them? There you go.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Yes, the sound is Giants have a new manager. It
is a groundbreaking higher that apparently one person at least
is not happy about. The Giants have hired Tennessee baseball
coach Tony Vittello as their next manager. Okay, he has
(24:20):
never coached in the majors. He has never coached in
the miners, and as a result, he is the first
manager in MLB history to have never managed at any
level in the pros.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Buster Posey the former catcher who's an icon with the
San Francisco Giants, and I understand they won the three
World Series when he was there. He's beloved and for
a little bit last year, remember the Giants got off
to a good start, and everybody's like, oh, Buster, he
made the trade to bolster their team. All that, But
(24:54):
this move by Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants
is total bus league would a capital b Ain't no
way you're setting like trying to re.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Establish the market, change the criteria to get somebody to
be a major league manager.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
This is a pipe dream.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
And this is like throwing a stone in the ocean
hoping that it hits a whale out there somehow and
it's gonna work out.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
People, in order to become a major league managers put
in time and effort. Guys have set on the bench
for twenty years for an opportunity to be a major
league manager. Seriously, there are all kinds of people who
are looking for opportunities, who have worked in the minor leagues,
who have put in the work and all that. It
(25:49):
ain't fair. I don't care what he did in college.
I don't care two of the players on the roster
now played for him in college or whatever.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I don't care. This is bad, bad for baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Had nothing to do with what he's done at Where
was he Tennessee, Tennessee, right, Rob g Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
It's nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's just like an opportunity that is way over his
skis that only looks like this is going to be
wind up being a disaster winning respect in the clubhouse
from players.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And all that.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
This is a tall order. We saw this years ago,
didn't They didn't know There Dame hire a high school coach.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Once Notre Dame hired a high school coach from Cincinnati
didn't work out. All I'm saying, Kelvin, is that this
is breaking all the coach in Major League Baseball, that
this is the first guy ever, ever, ever, ever to
get a job without at least being a coach somewhere.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'm paying some other dues in a minor leagues.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Well, I disagree.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And here's why someone always has to be the first,
Someone always has to break the mold, something always has
to be new. And also we see this happen in
the NBA, NFL all the time. You can be Bobby Knight.
We won Bobby Knight. They were trying to get him
for years, trying to get Toms or as you know,
you know, being in Michigan trying to get coach.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Come again, trying to get coach k champions.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And then you get the Rick Patinos, you get the
Billy Donovans, you get guys who come into from college
into the pros. You get the Larry Browns. So my
point is, we see this happen in NFL all the time.
You guys come NFL, Well, you would never coach anywhere that.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
This guy he is at coach. He's at coach with college.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
No no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
So I understand to say, isn't in the pros. But
my point is we get people who are pulled from
the college ranks to be a coach in the pros
and then they whether they fail or to succeed, there's
the opportunity. But it happens all the time. Why can
it happen to MLB, what happens to another maj You
know what division you're in?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
The San Francisco Giants know what division they're in? What
what they're familiar? Okay, what they're up again?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
But no, no leaves me to my second point though, Okay,
so are you throwing the towel in?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Is that what I'm asking? What?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I'm glad you brought that up. And what this move
shows me is we talk about it all the time
here and I bring it up. The gone of the
days of having that manager who is the guy he
has the absolute pulse of the team.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
He is the face.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You know, he might not be the face as far
as the star of the team, but he has the
entire ethos of this team.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
We know now this is run very corporately.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Now you have all the analytics guys with the GM
that's connected with all the analytics and the and they're
pioneering and they're making the things for the manager. Here's
what we're going to do. Here's our system of how
we want to run this thing. Can you be okay
with doing that? This isn't the days of you're the manager,
hands off.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
We're over here. Those days are gone.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
And this shows me to me, he must have the
same type of mindset, same type of approach to things.
And they're like, here's our guy who will run our system,
not saying, hey, Rob Parker, we think you're a great skipper.
You've done your thing here the keys, do what you want.
Those days are gone. Can can they give you the
history of the San Francisco Giants. Who has some of
the greatest players who have ever played there. Okay, they
(29:07):
have a storied history.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Willie Mays played there, Willie McCovey, Barry Bonds, This team
won three championships in a six year span. The greatest
manager of Major League Baseball history, Bruce Boche went to
five World Series one four, went to five in his career,
was a manager there. And you're telling the people of
San Francisco seriously that your next skipper has no experience
(29:34):
in the major leagues at all. This ain't Charlotte or
some offshot franchise.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
And I say Charlotte NBA, but you know what I mean,
like like some franchise like that where they're willing to
get to give it a shot because they've never won anything,
They've never had the greatest players who ever played the
game in those places. I get it.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I do.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Can you imagine if the Yankees said, Okay, we're gonna
give it to Aaron Boone and hire a guy who's
the baseball coach at Fordham Are you are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I'm serious. It would not be taking. People would be like,
what New York Yankees. Here's counter here's my counter to that.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
That could have not how I get what you're saying
with the Yankees, but I do think Silicon Valley. We
see it with the Warriors, we see it with the Giants.
Now it's a different era, different area, different mindset. Very
innovative guys are always ahead of the curve that whole court.
I completely agree with the Yankees because it's the ethos
we don't do this, we don't do mustache. They finally
(30:34):
changing it, but we, you know, a nott to have this.
It's like a certain way of culture in the Bay Area.
It's different. Being innovative would not accept it. That's why
I said the Bay Area. I said specifically the Bay Area,
and I think they're willing to go with this. And again,
you brought up a guy who was part of those
three championships with bust to Posey. This isn't if he
feels this is the guy. I'm not saying it's gonna
(30:55):
work OIC. We all don't know that, but I'm saying
he clearly feels this guy fits the future of what
doing fits our system.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
And I think you might start seeing.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
More of that because, like I said, I don't right
now on our screen here, one of our twenty six
TVs is the Big Ten Network, and we see what
Irver Meyer College to the pros. We see it all
the time in NBA, we see it all the time
in the NFL. Why can't MLB do it? Because it's
I'm really asking you the question.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Because the difference is just what you said is there
is no league between the two. There is no league
for you to go to if you were a college
basketball coach, there's no in between league to get you
to the next one. So that's the natural progression. The
difference between a high school baseball player going to the
major leagues, right.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Is there's a minor league system, and the same thing
with the NFL. There's college football and there's NFL football,
not the UFL or whatever those other bogus leagues are.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
There's no intermediate league. And that's the difference. Why, yes,
you do go from college basketball to the NBA. There
is no other middle league to learn from. That's the
natural progression.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
There is a minor league, and it's a long standing
minor league where people have put in a lot of energy,
time and stuff. And I'm just saying for a franchise
like the San Francisco Giants, most fans I would be surprised.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
I don't know that if they're not that this is
bush league for that franchise. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
This is not and also ran some franchise. Do you
know what kind of attendance they get and what kind
of crow they don't love? The Giants go every year
to a game there. I've never been to that place
where every seat is at film And that's why I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Buster Posey knows that better than me and you, So
I feel like he has to have a post where
maybe he understands they're okay this or the opposite.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I don't care if they're not.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
This is something they're going to learn to love once
we you know, in his mind obviously because he made
the decision, we become successful. But I just really wanted
to ask you that because you've been covering like we
see this all the time in the NBA. We see
this all time in the NFL. They see the clamoring
the NBA with for twenty years, was clamoring to get
coach k literally pleading throwing them a bag. Kobe Bryant like,
please come, coach Flicker like, there's no doubt that people
(33:16):
want these college ranked you. The Lakers wanted Dan Hurley
like this happens in the NFL, NBA, and I'm like why.
I'm just like, why doesn't happen in MLB's But and
I get what you mean with the the that minor league.
The only thing I would say their version of that
is top not schools in the NBA, NFL. That would
be your minor league. If you coach at Florida, coach
at Alabama, coach at UNC, you know basketball and duke basketball.
(33:37):
All right, one's gotta go on the way. We'll hit
you up with that in just a moment. Stick around

Speaker 3 (34:38):
All right, one has gotta go. This is an honor
of We'll running out of time, so I'll get to
it quickly. If you not heard, uh there was a
heist at the Louver, the museum and Paris in France,
and uh past me some Louver. Oh you know, Rozie,
you ain't gonna you ain't gonn Yeah, he ain't gonna
(34:59):
make it.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Robbie just done. Ain't worry about it no more. Yeah,
we know.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
So they went in there, they stole a bunch of
stuff and they're trying to figure out who did it.
It looked like a heist movie like Ocean's twenty six
or something like that, the way they would do it
if you had a chance to see all the stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
They put on a video.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
So got me thinking. The Louver is the most traveled
museum in the world. So the conversation is, these types
of attractions around the world, Manti rob g Alex rob
One has to go these national, these worldly, global treasures,
the Eiffel Tower, the Louver, the Great Wall of China,
the Statue of Liberty, and the Colosseum one of these
(35:36):
great monuments of the world that everybody knows. They travel,
they take pictures in front of Colosseum here in southern California. No,
not that one, the original, the one where Gladiator took
place in Rome. In Rome, I've been there.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
It's bigger than you thought.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Oh yeah, right, and then just thinking, man, people were
just killing themselves as a form of sport.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
It's still stand. It's remarkable if you've ever been. You
gotta check it. It's bigger than you think it is
to think, you know, cranes, no stuff to get it done?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
How do you do it?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Martians are unbelievable pyramids all that?
Speaker 4 (36:08):
All right? Which one has to go?
Speaker 3 (36:09):
One? You can say, hey, I could do it out
as far as traveling, visiting, and you know it's significance.
The Colosseum, the Louver, obviously this is the origin of
the point of it. Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall
of China, the Eiffel Tower? Which one so easy?
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Which which one?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
The Louver?
Speaker 4 (36:25):
I mean you're talking about a museum.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
The other ones are like these, you know, Uhmark Ladmark places,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Like the Great Wall of China? What are you doing
with that?
Speaker 11 (36:35):
The Eiffel Towers, the stud that Statue of Liberty? Robbed G, No,
you disagree. This one's easy for me. But it's not
the Louver. It's the Great Wall of China. You know,
me and my people don't do well walls.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Just saying where's the button Alex, rob g Cautu, where's
the button?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Where's the button for rob G? If I said that
they would be.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Up and all racist yes, I can say that.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Yeah, you can't people.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, when you put people and you people and what
you got out of Alex Monti.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
It has to be the lorve. For me, I didn't
ever know.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I just forgot it existed. All the other ones are
you know, I've either been or I want to go.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
You pay to go to the nerve. It's like, yeah,
you think you pay, you got to go to pay
to go to Statue Liberty. No, I could see it
from a far I said, pay to go to. I
didn't know. You couldn't see it, Alex. You want to
get deeper to simple?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
We don't have time for Yeah, simple. We all said simple, simple, Please,
we know how deep you are.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Pretty deep. Okay, but it's asleep.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Statue of liberty. What No, I'm saying, that's your answer
for sure, Statue of Liberty. It was not a gift,
now did we it? It's bad? Oh? I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Was it not good? Well?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Was it high? Was it?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
We did? Still a lot in this country. It's not
good nerve. I don't know. People stole that so a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I think for me, it's the it's the it's the louver.
It's I've been there. And it's great, but the other
the other ones are just amazing marvels to be made.
But I don't want to hear more about this Statue
of liberty
