Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yo, here we go another coveno on Rich and for DP.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Show three of the hat Trick. Good morning, we'd.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
The West Side Holiday weekend begins?

Speaker 5 (00:19):
What out Brench? Good morning, Speaking.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Of hat tricks, I'm sort of disappointed to start the show.
Here we are day three of the hat trick, and
my Fox Sports Radio headset won't allow me to wear
my ten gallon Texas hat.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I wear down to the river.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Ten gallon. That's a forty gallon hat.

Speaker 6 (00:36):
Brot that noggin there, he is the noggin boss of
Fox Sports Radio, Rich Davis live from Texas the rest
of us. What a great team man, the best team,
the best sports lineup in the nation in Fox Sports Radio.
We got DNG's super producing on the phones at eighty
seven seven ninety nine on Fox Iowa, Sam our sound
architect on the Glockenspiel.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
He's on the buttons.

Speaker 6 (00:58):
And of course we're and Rich in for Dan Patrick
and super pumped to be here because we're giving away prizes.
We got Brainwave, we got something called weekend Hobnobbing where
we get you ready for the holiday weekend. And of
course we have a very special guest, one of the
goats stopping by it today, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Not Tom Brady, not Lebron James, not Michael Jordan, not
Michael Phelps, not Catley Clark.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We have Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 6 (01:28):
Joey Chestnut will be here to talk about all the
fourth of July weekend festivities.

Speaker 7 (01:33):
Who is the Michael Jordan of his sport?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yes he is.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yes, he is going for title number eighteen, which is
more impressive than any one of those athletes I just mentioned.
So Joey Chess not going for title eighteen. And I
don't know if there's anything in life equal parts disgusting
and impressive than eating seventy hot dogs in ten minutes.

Speaker 6 (01:56):
Probably the aftermath i'd say, well, okay, maybe that. Yeah,
So we'll talk to him about all that and more.
But I hope you had a great, great night. What
a day World Cup action. There's so much going on
here's just wild.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
My first instinct.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
As we are the I guess, first responders of Fox
Sports Radio, all these thoughts are still processing. We're the
first to deliver. That's the beauty of filling in for
Dan Patrick here because normally we're on in the afternoon
two to four on the West, five to seven on
the East. Everything at Covin on Rich FSR. In fact,
we're streaming live right now on YouTube if you want
to chat it up and get the day going. It's

(02:32):
a glorious, glorious Friday, July third, at coven on Rich FSR.
You got the World Cup, you got the world coming together,
you got people chanting in the streets, you.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Got baseball heating up.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
My Yankees are stinking like Abe Lincoln as we celebrate
the forefathers of this country.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Stinking like Abe Lincoln.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
They might stick even worse, like I'm talking like one
hundred years before that, like maybe like John Adams after
like yeah, a big congressional meeting or something.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
Yeah, they for real, like Ben Franklin, dude. So they're
really stinking right now. And you got so much going
on yet Lebron James is still one of the biggest
stories in sports.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Man.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
It's crazy because you wake up today. Well, first off, Rich,
I woke up this morning, got some Goba goal and
I figured out, you know what am I gonna wearing
this casual Friday? So I do a lot my Yankee
hat and ran over here, no traffic. That's the other
beauty of getting him on the West Side at this time.
But dude, it's like, it's like a four prong thought

(03:39):
about Lebron James. Oh yep, and it all goes down
to this. All right, I'm gonna tell you where this
is going to go before we even start. Everyone now,
you know how everyone has a podcast. That's just the
world we live in, and everyone thinks their opinion matters.
That's also the world we live in.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
You know how.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I knew everyone had a podcast the minute that clip
went viral a few months back. With that one girl
is like, job your love. Don't just love your job,
job your love.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
And the other person's like, yo, yeah, oh yeah, he
loved it like he was gonna write it down say
that again.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
That was the moment what I was like, I've always said,
chop your love. The minute that podcast clip went viral,
my thought was, it's we have jumped the shark.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
Everyone does not need a podcast. It's official not everyone
needs one. And if you're like, well, who are you,
Jabroni's look it up. We've been doing this a long time.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
When it comes to Lebron James, the first thing is Warriors, Cleveland, Miami.
We were speculating the Spurs because we thought, hey, the
Spurs could use the wisdom, he could use the Spurs.
This is perfect. Now that's a developing story, right, So
then they added Tobias Harris. So a lot of people

(04:58):
are like, okay, so whatever start Danny gee'z like, man,
I wonder where my guy's gonna go. He's moving he announces, yo,
I'm out. He secures Bronni's contract, but he's like, I'm
moving forward. And then we find out he's willing to
take the league minimum, And then I start thinking, well,

(05:18):
if he was willing to take the league minimum three
point eight three point nine million, whatever it is, why
didn't he just stay with the Lakers and his son
and try to run it back and use that money
to get the pieces that they could use it?

Speaker 8 (05:29):
Because he was the one saying boo hoos the Lakers
wouldn't give him a max contract.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
So yeah, so you start thinking, well, there's something fishy
there that doesn't add up, and want to start to me,
you start speculating there, how does that add up?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
It adds to me.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
He's looking for happiness. Could they have kissed his ass anymore, dude.
As much as that, like.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Le Bron, there was this new management, there was the
there was discrepancies.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Year one more year.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
You he has one more year, one more year, he
has one more year, but that one more year, he
wants to just do it his way. And the reality
is it was never about the money. It was about
the respect. And I think the Lakers didn't The Lakers
didn't respect him. You know, Lebron James doesn't need your
money again, and I think now he feels like I
can put hold on you.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
And Danny are saying different things.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Though Daniel goes to the Lakers.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
He goes to the Lakers, he feels like he sort
of overlooked and not loved the right way.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
He goes somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's not about the money. He just wants to feel
like the savior for someone. And that narrative is not
in Los Angeles anymore.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Okay, So then you know you got all these stories,
all this speculation. Then you're here in seventy six ers.
How about the Nuggets. Nuggets are calling man Nuggets, that'd
be a fit Nuggets Nuggies, And then you wake up
today and what was the obvious was no longer now
becomes part of the conversation again, what do I mean

(06:50):
by that? Now they're saying the buzz is out there
about the New York Knicks. You like the New York Nicks,
And there's stories to back this up too. You're like,
they don't need him, as my mom would say, Rich,
they need him like I need a hole.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
In the head.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Right, it's a big mom saying. Right, Mom's that's a
boomer top ten freight.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
Can I give you a real quick synopsis of what
my parents would say about this?

Speaker 4 (07:15):
They need Lebron James like I need a hole in
the head, Steven, that sounds kind of dark.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Now, what mom say? No, my dad would after that.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Hey, that's heavy dooty Lebron James through the Knicks, heavy dooty.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
These are these are great mom sayings.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
And get this Rich.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Now this starts to unfurl and unfold as of this morning,
and again I'm still processing this myself. I start seeing
these clips everywhere of Rich Paul talking to r pal
Max Killerman like Mexican.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
I've I've loved Max Killerman for.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Years as a as a broadcaster, in analyst.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
That's because you're an eighty year old boxing.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah, because I used to come up when he was
the young boxing guy.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, that's why identifies as an eighty year old white
guy even though he's a forty year old Latino guy.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
He likes boxing and baseball. I'm cool with that. Yes,
that's true.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
All right.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
So you got Rich Paul and Kellerman chopping it up,
and Rich Paul says what we all thought, right the
energy that he would have been a Nick this year.
I would have Yeah, would have been a Nick this year.
There's so much to think about though. Would have been
a Nick this year hadn't they won? He would have
been a Nick this year hadn't they won. So what

(08:30):
does that mean? Does that mean that, like, since they won,
it seems like they don't need him, So he wants
to go to a place where he could be the hero?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Is that really just the truth of it all? Like
the hero? Though.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
It's one thing to want to, you know, leave on
a high note and make a run for it, but
it's like, no, I want to go for a place
where I think I'm the piece that they need.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
I'm the answer here.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
You don't want to go to a place after they
win and then be the reason why they take off
step back, you go to the place where they are
this close. Like I'll give you the analogy if you're
an NFL fan, I'm a Niners guy. What did Mike
Evans say in the offseason? Why did Mike Evans sign
with the Niners and have all that excitement because he,
deep down inside is like, I'm the piece brock Perty

(09:17):
just needs a wide receiver, one like me to get
him over the hump. You want to be the piece
of the pie they're missing. You don't want to You
don't want to go there and be like, oh, they
took a step.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
But the obviousness is a double edged sword, right, It's
like a damned if you do and if you don't
sort of situation.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Because if he were to go there and.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
He won again, ah Man, chip chasing pad in his stance,
just trying to be in that Jordan conversation even harder.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
You know, ah Man, he went with an.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
Already winning team, like Rich said, and if he did
go and they didn't win, then it's all his fall, right,
So that's not like man, that's not a.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Great Kevin durankot Covi.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know when he went to the Warriors fresh off
of championship, but what could happen? He got to win
his right exactly, So Durant, Kevin Durant always fell short.
So then Levin Durant said, let me go to Golden State.
And everyone said, oh, he's chasing chips.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah, he's criticized for it, but guess what.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
It works though, work now.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
But there's no guarantee. Yeah, in retrospect they're like, oh, yeah,
but it worked, right, it would be a major risk
because if it didn't work, it's all Lebron's fall.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Now.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Rich Paul asked, or told Kellerman. Kellerman asked, have the
Knicks checked in? And Rich Paul's like, yeah, so they're talking. Okay,
So they are communicating, according to Rich Paul, and according
to this clip I saw, unless it's Danny Jean, let's
this is all AI do.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
I need to breakfast?

Speaker 6 (10:51):
This and then here's what drives me crazy, and I
get it because Rich Paul then says, you know, you
gotta show Brunson some respect. He says, it's the Brunson show.
You gotta respect that we understand, and everybody listening understands,
like this is Brunson's team dude. But he says that

(11:14):
Brunson needs to call Lebron, and I'm like, get.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Out of my face.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
This is no disrespect to Lebron at all. We're fans,
let's make that clear. But I think if you're the
guy and it's your show, Lebron needs to be calling Brunson.
That's how I see it. But they're still like tossing
this and dangling his carrot rich And my favorite thought
about all of this drama as the Lebron stuff on
furrols and continues to be the saga of the summer

(11:42):
right now, even though the World Cup is popping and
everything else is going on, is that everybody has turned
into you know how, everybody's a podcaster and everybody's an expert.
Everybody now has put on their John Stosseil mustache, and
everyone thinks they are sports investing gators.

Speaker 7 (12:01):
That's the truth. And also WNBA experts.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
All right, everyone taking everyone taking the lead of Pablo Tory.
Everybody's going to uncover the next big story.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Yes, dude, it's even gotten me like trying to figure
out pieces of the puzzle and I'm like, hey, man,
Mitchell Robinson says, wait until you hear the truth. Did
you hear that him and Ananobi were chatting online and
they were talking about missing each other, like damn man,
And he's like, yeah, man, you know I tried everything
to stay in New York.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Wait until you hear the truth.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
You're like, well, what's the truth is that?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (12:34):
Is that like a hint about Lebron? Like is there
more pieces to this puzzle? Like they don't need Lebron.
Let's be real about this. However, you know that it
would be the hottest ticket in town, but the Knicks
don't need it Lebron.

Speaker 8 (12:45):
It feels like too much of an anti climactic move
for Lebron. That's like showing up to a party and
all the confetti's on the floor and everybody's gone home.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Dude, It's crazy.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
Twenty four years in the league, Lebron James is still
the hottest chick in the room. Every team is involved
in this conversation.

Speaker 8 (13:03):
Paul, by the way, also said that twelve teams have
called him about Lebron.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
Check that out, not just any twelve teams, you know,
Like we're talking high profile contenders. So it's a matter
of Uh, it's sort of like Lebron. They're saying it's
in Bronson's court, but it feels like it's in Lebron's
court when it comes to New York or any of
the other thing.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Is the New York things interesting to me, Cavino, because
you got to ask most Knick fans. You know, we
know a lot of Knicks fans because we're from New York. Yeah,
most Knicks fans.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
They don't want to dude, that's my gut feeling. Dam
My gut feeling.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
My gut feeling is that they get damn fatty.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Give me a break and we're good right now, Get
out of my face.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, they love Lebron.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
They love og, they love the tipping, they love the
they love the coach Mike Brown.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
They love everything this team is doing.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I feel like a lot of Knicks fans would be
like if f Lebron get deaty. However, if you ask
the team, the guys on the court that are actually
playing the game, Hey, how would you feel about adding
Lebron James to this mix? How do you know that
whole roster wouldn't be like, of course it's Lebron James.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Bring them in.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Like, you got to think of that perspective, not the
fan perspective. Could you know the player perspective, The Knicks
might be like, Yo, we just won one. Guess how
we have the best chance of winning two. I don't
know Lebron James being part of this?

Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, does this keep the Knicks in a championship mode?
Does it keep them back in the finals? Does it
start the dynasty? I guess of their run you can
continue it? You can't say with a straight face, or
does it really bring the circus to town and make
things worse? You can't say with a straight face or

(14:47):
any face for that matter, that the Knicks are worse
off by adding Lebron James.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
It's like adding Lebron James. You don't know that.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
What made the Nick special is team, even though it's
Brunson's team. What made him awesome is you know, he's
that working class sort of blue collar leader.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Mebron and selfish and all that.

Speaker 6 (15:11):
I think that's old news, but it becomes all about
Lebron James when that's not what the Knicks are about
at all. That was very much a team effort, and
we all know who the leader of the team was.
It just wasn't rubbed in our face. We could just
see it with our own eyes, you know. It's it's
Jalen Brunson's team. So today, as of today, what we

(15:32):
already knew but we thought was like a done story
because they won, it was confirmed that that's where he
would have been in New York. And I think that's
also like patting maybe the possibility, Like, hey, just so
you guys know, we would have done that anyway, right,
Like they're making that a fact, the known fact, so
that if it happens that the world knows that, hey,

(15:53):
we're not doing it just because they won. We were
gonna do that before they won. I think putting that
information out there also sets that up for the possibility.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
All right, Well, listen, there's also, as Colin Cowherd stars
said yesterday here in Fox Sports Radio Star the seventy
six ers Now with Jalen Brunson, how about Kevin, how
about an hour and a half down the Jersey Turnpike,
would I say, Jalen Brunson, Jalen Brown, Jalen Brown.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Now in Philadelphia, go an hour and a half down
thanks to Jalen Rose. There's just so many Jalens against confuser. Yeah,
do people realize that's a fun fact. I'm not trying
to backpedal my misstep, but I will. I said Jalen
Brunson instead of Brown Cavino. I'll give you credit. I
never saw that little clip where Jalen was not a name.

(16:41):
Do people know that?

Speaker 7 (16:43):
Yeah, it's all over social media?

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
Ever here that's like Jalen song on Twitter.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Do you think every you think every single dude listening
and woman know that Jalen wasn't a name.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Of course, and every single person follows us on our socials?

Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yeah, yeah, everybody. No, not everybody, of course, there's some
bonehead that doesn't know it.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
And if you don't, the show's at Covino and Rich, Yeah,
at Comino.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
And Rich, at Danny G Radio, at Steve Covino, at
Rich Davis, everything, at Fox PI.

Speaker 8 (17:11):
Irish Sam ninety nine, Yeah, at Spots Center running our
video YouTube, at CONCHSR.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm so happy that every one of our listeners is
is the genius Lanni Papo Jalen.

Speaker 6 (17:24):
Didn't you read my notes? Everyone is a sports investigator.
That's the whole point of this conversation.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Until Jalen Rose, the name Jalen didn't exist.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Same like until the movie Splashed with Tom Hanks in
the eighties, there was no woman named Madison, which is
wild too.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
So yeah that dropping.

Speaker 8 (17:40):
Let me you were talking rich about Colin yesterday and yeah,
he was the first one I heard bring up the
Sixers Jalen Brown there now, of course from the Celtics.
Celtics fans still hot and mad over that whole situation.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
That poor little kid, that's cry.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
Oh man, that was horrible. Speaking of things online.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
And by the way, Danny g you know what everybody's doing.
I'm not even joking.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
This is how the business works, right, everyone, especially like
podcasters with no listeners. They're just going to the camera,
to the microphone. They're like, I'm telling you, I'm pretty adamant.
In fact, I know from inside sources he's gonna be
a nugget. I tell you he's gonna be a nugget.
All right, cut And they're like, all right, save that
in case, save that in case, just so they can

(18:20):
use that when it happens to go viral. Like I
told you, let's look back and they'll show the date.
And everyone's trying.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
To everyone's trying to connect the dots like Tyree SATs
pee Wee Herman, dude Tyree smatsy up up and coming
superstar in the NBA on the sixers. Of course, now
he is cool. He's homies with Lebron. They are both
repped by Clutch, So Lebron is definitely going to go
to the seventy six ers. And you guys, I was
thinking on my drive in, he'll go up to the

(18:48):
Rocky Stairs on the fourth of July tomorrow, Lebron and
make his announcement they like the founding fathers of our
glorious country. On the two hundred and fiftieth birthday, He's
going to become a Philadelphia seventy.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
Six er.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Of slow motion video released tomorrow on the fourth of
the Remember.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
To clip that in case it happens, so it makes
us look cool. That's the world we live in, right
because everybody's a sports investigator. But now that Rich Paul
has come out and said all this, like I said,
I feel like he's patting the possibility. You know, he
would have done it anyway, So now thinking I did,
in my mind, I was like, he's either going to

(19:28):
be a warrior if they can make that happen. Miami
San Antonio sounds cool, but I don't know, Like I
think the Knicks is a strong possibility because they are
most likely if he wants to go out on a
high note, they're most likely to still be there, and
with Lebron, like Richard he said, have a greater chance

(19:52):
of making it happen.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Again.

Speaker 8 (19:54):
I'm surprised you guys think there's a good chance of that.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
I and I don't.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
I don't think they obviously don't need them, but I
think it's a possibility.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
But Kavino, just to make sure we're on the right page,
do it right now ready, I guarantee Lebron James is
going to the Nuggets, cut.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Warriors, Nicks, Sixers. I now spot our video guy, have
that on seven. You can set up cutting spot.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
Yeah, so so we can say I told you, Remember
when I told you here we were in for Dan Patrick.

Speaker 8 (20:32):
I remember, Except when you set that sentence up, you
sounded like Rob Parker.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Everyone's going to identify you.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
It's so wild, though, I really cono he's a warrior.
He's going to the Heat, Dude.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
I'm telling you, Nickabocker, this is the best drama and
soap opera that sports could ask for. But what's really
really funny and and I think the funniest part of
this conversation is not all the moving parts, and the
piece is this that you have all these web slooths
and their modern day like scoops callahans really just trying
to figure it out, piecing things together based on what's

(21:10):
like why they're following the breadcrumbs. But everybody is a
sports investigator. It's dude, it's so funny to see me
how everyone's.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
An expert now on social media, there's so many women
that are true crime experts as a hobby and then
they take it too serious and they think they're like
they're gonna solve the Ohio, you know, you know that
unfortunate like Idaho college kids.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
A lot of times they do uncover things and get
to the bottom of things.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
But what I'm saying is a lot of women dive
headfirst into they are now the new true crime experts. Yeah,
there's a lot of young men in the sports game
that are like, I'm the new investigator and I'm going
to get the inside scoop, and you know, sometimes it works.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Our buddy George Sadanov.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
At EsPAS, remember he was the guy that got the
scoop on Lebron to Miami because he saw a moving
truck in his area in Miami.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah, yeah to Lebron James, Yeah, showed out to Georgia.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
We had we had a scoop that we just didn't
break because we were sworn to secrecy. But we had
maybe a little hint that Lebron was coming to LA
because we knew someone through the airport that like saw him,
Like so yeah we sometimes.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
People can say it now, yeah, we were friends with
the pilot that drove them, that flew him.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, yeah, just the truth.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, true story. And he's like, I'm flying Lebron to
LA right now, like for real.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Yeah, it's like how real estate It's like how real
estate agent agents sometimes will spill the beans. So and
so was in town looking around the property. Is their
school systems?

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Right?

Speaker 6 (22:36):
That's another one. But everybody, you got to realize that
was like someone's job, you know. But now that's everyone
like it's so watered down, it's hilarious. So you know,
we the people now over the United States, we don't
want to believe because there's this information everywhere.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
Wouldn't be rich if he just surprised everybody and went
to a team like the Sacramento Kings.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
That would be why but Daddy, that would be funny actually.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
But I have a theory that it's a if he's
gonna if he's gonna make a move and he's willing
to go East Coast.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I think the Knicks does no good for him. It's
a cool, enticing thing. But the Knicks are coming off
a high.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
It's like it would almost be like buying a you know,
if you like the market like I do, or crypto,
you don't buy high.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
The Knicks are high as they've been in fifty some
of the years.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
It's like buying a stock like right now, the nasdacs
at the highest of all time. Right you buying stocks
when everything's the highest. It's risky, Like, dude, it's high,
like nothing's The Knicks are at their height.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
You only have a chance to let them down.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I think the Sixers with Max A, Danny and Jalen Brown,
the Sixers are a thirsty fan base that whole trust
the process.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Thing never worked out.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
They haven't been relevant in forty years, right as far
as winning a title forty fifty years, So isn't there
a part of you that thinks, Wow, Sixers, Lebron could
be a hero in Philadelphia with those wild rabbit fans.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
Still a chance you choose Philadelphia teams you have, you
have a I think you.

Speaker 7 (24:06):
Have a greater chance.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
It could just come down to something as simple as, man,
I want to go have fun with Steph Curry.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Yeah, it could come down to that too.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
After all this a lot of that makes sense, not
not just Curry, but it's good Bud Draymond Green. He
could be reunited if they're able, you know what. And
now I'm thinking about that. As cool as that story is,
even though I don't think it would work, it would
be cool story again, traveling circus of the Golden State Warriors,
Anthony Davis involved. There's a lot of moving pieces that

(24:33):
make it a difficult move.

Speaker 8 (24:34):
Don't you think the Wizards have made it difficult because
they are claiming they are not going to move Anthony.

Speaker 7 (24:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
So I feel like that idea is fizzling a little
more and some of these other ones are picking up
and it really is interesting. So we sort of laid
it out for you today. Nix is the story and
was always a possibility. We get that, but now it's
I think more of a story because they're saying and
they mean rich Paul, it's the Brunson Show. Gotta respect that.

(25:03):
But Brunson needs to call Lebron to be like, no, I'm.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Cool with it.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Oh, you know, and that and then the talks could continue. So,

This is what they should be playing after a USA victory,
because everybody's coming here for a good time, not for
some Take me Home Country Road on Instagram and Twitter yesterday.
If you're a faceless, nameless bonehead who disagrees you think

(26:22):
I care, I don't care.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
I know music, I know how music works.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Bro.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
That sounds a downer.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh, I mean, I'm not going to argue. I do
love Neil Diamond America.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Dude, I was thinking, how about American girl Tom Petty
Hey later Liberty.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
He's a woman, she's a woman. Oh yeah, all right.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
There's so many great songs, and we're playing take Me
Home Country Road, which is a beautiful song, but not
for that victory moment when you have everybody here trying
to have fun. But World Cup has been great. There's
some great games this weekend. In fact, we're gonna tell
you what you need to watch. We do this every
Friday on the Caveno on Rich Show, which is normally
on from two to four on the West five to

(27:06):
seven on the East.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
We call it Weekend Hobnobbin.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
So we set you up on what you need to
watch this holiday weekend. Right now, we're live from the
Fox Sports Radio studios. Rich Hop Along Dickey is in Texas.
For over forty years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, shipped
fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot

(27:30):
coma tire buying should be.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Now we speculated, of course, where would Lebron go. It
started out with oh, maybe the heat, maybe with his
buddies up at Golden State, Stephen Draymond, or hey, maybe
back to Cleveland. And now, like you said, everyone's an
investigator and it's opened up everyone Nick six or is
this you know, the Nuggets, the Spurs. I have a

(27:54):
theory that Danny g you were saying, how what if
Lebron ran up the Rocky Steps in Philadelphia on the
fourth of July and he's like, here, I am America,
I'm coming to Philadelphia. The last announcement, you know, rubbed
everyone the wrong way right.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
When he when he was going to Miami. That that
was like one of the big missteps of Lebron square.
So he has one chance? Can he not to get
this right? Right?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
I figured out how we should do it this weekend.
Who's going to Taylor Shift in Travis Kelsey's wedding.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Not me.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
Everyone's mad at me because I said, the John Denver
song is a buzzkill. Imagine they took away my invite.
Imagine the Knicks starting five. You know who was invited
to Taylor Shift's wedding. Imagine this.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Imagine he stands up there because he's one of the
new Nicks starting five. He announces that at Madison Square
Garden Travis's wedding drama.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Dude, that's a good storyline for sure. He's there at
the garden, Like, why is Lebron there? Yeah, Taylor revised
starting five and guess what I am? Can you imagine
that's a good one? Rich, Wow, I like that. So yeah,
everything's a possibility. But we woke up this morning. We
got some Gabba goal and we're seeing all this Rich
Paul to Max Kellerman stuff about how Brunson needs to

(29:17):
call Lebron and that doesn't mean it would solidify anything,
and they do say that, but it would get that
ball rolling again, saying, hey me, as the leader of
this team, Brunson, I'm cool with it, Lebron. We could
use you could run it back again.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Make that clear that the Brunson call isn't insinuating, like
the brunts, Come on, Lebron, please come here.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
It's uh.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
The insinuation is Brunson giving him the like, yo, man,
we would accept you.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
Yeah, But I do think Lebron could also pick up
the phone. They work both ways, Like you know, Lebron,
you can call Brunson, though Bunston's got to call you.
That's how I feel about that. But think about the
ego involved in that though, like couldn't you? I don't
know the way Callin set it up.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yesterday on my drive home, I suddenly could picture Lebron
in that Sixers jersey and and that would be a
dramatic announcement. And and Rich we were joking last segment
about him doing it on the steps there, but that
that would be an insane moment if something like that happened.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I wonder how it will be announced.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I'm not saying it's gonna be dramatic like the decision
back in the day, but Lebron has one chance to
make like a cool announcement one last time, like where
he's going.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
It has to be something. I saw a video of
him and driving in the car. He was eating nuggets.
It's gotta be Denver, Bro, It's gotta be Denver. It's
gotta be I saw. I saw that, I saw the
barbecue sauce in the cup holder and the bag was there.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
It was just I just I just looked up Lebron's
last post just to see, like, you know, my missing something,
and he was just picking out small golf clubs for
Kevin Hart, making fun of Kevin Hart.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
So no, nothing new. So I want to go to
the phone and say, hot, everybody.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
Absolutely. I'm also reading the feedback. Wilhelmina says, I totally
agree with Covino and it's bad one. I agree with Covino.
Why I'm the man of common sense here on the show.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
He talked, what are you talking about? They have of sense?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
But uh, hello Wilhelmina, what up? Scott Fermeyer?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
What up?

Speaker 5 (31:18):
Tony?

Speaker 6 (31:19):
A lot of people chiming in Mauser and Cincinnati gusted
the bus again. We're streaming live at Covino and rich FSR.
You could also join the chat there, join the fun
talk some smack at Covino and rich FSR.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Who do we got Danny g on the phone. Let's
start in New York. Nick.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Wait, it's the actual Nick.

Speaker 7 (31:38):
No, his name starts with an n.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
This is New York Nick, and a two time Twiggy winner.

Speaker 10 (31:45):
I may add on my race, Let's go yeah, Mike
Tayson Trivia knocked it out. I always thought that Lebron
should have went to New York in the beginning, because
if he brought a title to the nick back then
he would be forever cemented. They would have built a
statue to the size of the Empire State Building. The
only way that he can he can, like I'm not
saying redeem himself, but if he brought a championship to Philly,

(32:08):
he'd be more but loved there than winning one in Miami, Cleveland,
in LA and I and I do truly believe that
they would, those Rabbit fans would celebrate him forever more
than the other cities. And I can't wait to hear
your feedback.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
Love the show, have a good DA.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
I don't know again, Dick, Damned if you do, Damned
if you don't, because it also feels like you know,
they're they're patting this decision or this this option, like no, no,
we always were interested. It's like trying to convince the
chubby girl that got to glow up that you were
always interested, Like no, no, no, no, no, Now I liked
you when you were chubby, before you got the implants,

(32:44):
before you got all that work.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
I always liked to swear before you lost all that way,
before you got all that money. I was always interested.
I swear to God, I was always gonna make the move.
But then, why are you making the move now? It's
a hard sell. Even though we do believe it, it
doesn't look good.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Cove, could you at least agree that of all the
teams we mentioned, the one where Lebron has the chance
to look like the biggest hero because some people think
that's what the goal is, right, Like, how could he
go out looking like the man?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Would be seventy six ers?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Would be Philadelphia because they're Thurston, they haven't had one.
If he goes to the Knicks, it could be a
letdown Golden State. Like I said, it's the Old Guy show.
He goes anywhere else Miami with Giannis. They're probably not
ready yet. Like, is Philadelphia the spot?

Speaker 3 (33:30):
I think it is.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
Back to the phones?

Speaker 7 (33:34):
All right, let's Connecticut, Dwayne.

Speaker 11 (33:36):
Yeah, Hey are you doing guys?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
What's up? Buddy? What do you think?

Speaker 10 (33:43):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (33:44):
I don't know, man, Just for me, I'm kind of
a storybook guy. Like, I think the best place for
Lebron is just my personal opinion is to go back
to Cleveland, you know what I mean. Like he started
in Cleveland. I feel like he should have ended in Cleveland.
I think if he goes to Philadelphia and they lose,
that's just gonna tarnish his career. I've not tarnish his career,

(34:04):
but I think he's just going to give another uh
kind of like black guy on his career.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
So I take that if he wants Covino, if the
goal is not winning Cleveland is the story but cancer,
but he wants to win right like he's now. It
seems like if Lebron's opening it up to everyone, he
wants his best shot to win. If it's if it's
if it's a storybook like start where you finished, finish
where you started.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Yeah, Cleveland's answer, But I don't.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
I don't know, an not knowing what to believe.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Rich.

Speaker 6 (34:31):
Is it true that you know the Lakers stuff didn't
work out because they wanted all white guys?

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Is that true or no?

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (34:38):
All right, stephen A.

Speaker 6 (34:39):
Covin, that's so funny, dude, Yeah, exactly. Man, He's getting
a lot of heat for his take on that blasphemous
The fact of the matter is all right, so we'll rape.

Wow, we're talking about how everyone's sports investigator. Where is
Lebron gonna go? We speculated what's the coolest announcement Lebron
can make? Like Danny G said, here, what if you
went up the stairs in Philadelphia and he's like, I'm
a sixer, And then I joked about what if he
showed up at Taylor in Travis's wedding at the garden
and he's like, da.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Lebron, why are you here?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Lebron?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
What are you doing here? Well, didn't Taylor invite the Nicks?
Starting five?

Speaker 5 (37:13):
I just that's a good one.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
I just thought it a better one though, right now,
off the dome, Off the top of the dome, Like
Harry Mack, I just thought of this. It's like a
little mini film, right and like Lebron just drops a link.
He clicked a link and all of a sudden he's
in a car and you hear clink clink clink.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Warriors come out to play.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
It comes out and Draymond comes out and he's like warrior.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
I don't think he's that creative.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
Yeah, that'd be great now that movie.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you Bozo's
Mauserati hit us up and he goes, how about this one?

Speaker 3 (37:51):
We all know how Country Road for the.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
US vn's soccer team is driving Covino and saying, what
if Lebron just starts playing John Denver and he's like, oh,
the nugget the road take my home.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
All right?

Speaker 6 (38:05):
You know what, Rich, let's wrap it up. Since everybody
is a sports investigator and nobody knows what to believe,
let's just see what the Fox Sports Radio Nation has
to say about it. Three more phone calls. Thank you
guys again for having fun with us. We appreciate it.
And for Dan Patrick, who do we got Danny Joy?

Speaker 7 (38:20):
Guys? Yeah? Last three you gotta go quick here.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Burt in Boston, Hebert, you.

Speaker 11 (38:24):
Know how you doing another personal first? About the song?
You know you're gloud too for your Maxwell's Country Road.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
That's hit down.

Speaker 11 (38:30):
That's the best song. Number two.

Speaker 12 (38:32):
Lebron, I hope he goes home because he's a ring hop.
You're just more hopping than the Easter money man from
Ringing the Ring and it's just a spoiled brut man.

Speaker 11 (38:40):
Good Len.

Speaker 12 (38:40):
I'm glad you're gonna go, you know Michael Jordan's Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
It's exciting, but I don't think it does.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
If you're like on the fence about Lebron or you're
one of those haters, it doesn't help this. You know
this story, you're like, oh God, more Lebron.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
I think I think the knicks him or him calling
Brunson and Brunson calling him and true to go to
the Knicks. That would that's the ending that sucks with
Lebron because they chance of them of them repeating his
slim and it would look like he went there and
ruined it.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
You know, yeap, how do we got the next day?

Speaker 7 (39:09):
All right, let's go to Kenny in North Carolina.

Speaker 12 (39:11):
Kenny Kenny, Hey, guys, love the show, Thanks for thanks
for letting.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Me talk to you.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Oh, thanks man? What's up?

Speaker 7 (39:19):
Hey?

Speaker 12 (39:20):
I just want to say I know I'm not the
only guy that I believes this or I want to
say this, but I just I'm looking forward to the
day that Lebron James retires. I just he's been along,
he's been around a long time. He is an icon.
But I just, I just I'm looking forward to that
day when he's just done with the game and we
can move on.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
Kenny has fatigue.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
Yeah, well, I mean, look, he moves the needle, dude,
every move he makes, everyone's following.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
So, oh the way, you know how old you know
old Lebron is?

Speaker 2 (39:48):
That kid's forty seven years old though, Lebronday.

Speaker 7 (39:51):
All right, last caller on this guys. We'll go to
Iowa Mazer.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Hey, al right, what's up?

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Hey? How you doing?

Speaker 11 (39:57):
Guys?

Speaker 13 (39:58):
That's why I say Lebron's the biggest team I've ever
met in my life. Like he's the kid that always
looks back over his shoulders. See if I was watching
him walk out the door, I got news for Lebron.
No one's watched to walk out for eight years. And
I just want to say, I Heeart, I don't appreciate
you cutting our local air talent. We have no local
sports radio anymore.

Speaker 5 (40:14):
Hey, thank you.

Speaker 6 (40:15):
So it's like Shaka Khan, thank you, Mariah Carrey and
Lebron James.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Is that what he's getting at?

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yeah, when it comes to Lebron Cove, I do get
Lebron fatigue like everyone else does. But with this story,
for some reason, it's different. This isn't Lebron fatigued to me.
This is more like the fun investigator in every sports
fan where it's like everyone thinks they got the leg up,
like ooh, are the hints or breadcrumbs? And I'm Lebron

(40:41):
James for fun? And people do know Lebron does like attention.
Should he cryptically put stuff on social media this weekend
just to throw people in different directions.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
You don't think he's doing that anyway.

Speaker 6 (40:51):
I think he is, Yeah, absolutely Rich Paul doing He's
letting things, yes, set all just so people can speculate.
He loves the attention, There's no doubt about that. But
I do think deep down he knows what he wants
to do. It's like you, Rich when you say you
walk in a room, you know which lady you would
choose if you're on one of these reality shows.

Speaker 5 (41:08):
Lebron knows where he wants to go.

Speaker 7 (41:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I always said that on these dumb dating shows, Danny,
you know, like The Bachelor. Right on day one when
there's twenty five women there, he knows who his final three.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Are going to be.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Like, you can't, like you're a girl man, you walk
in the room with twenty five women, immediately you could
be like, yeah, I know my top three and her.
Lebron James has probably narrowed it down to a couple coup.
I don't know if he knows exactly. Kavino there is
probably intriguing in a few places, but it's the first
Lebron story.

Speaker 6 (41:36):
A while that really doesn't think Rich Paul wouldn't be
talking about the Knicks if they didn't want to see
like the reception and buzz behind that. You know, this
is their way of seeing how the fans feel. Yeah, exactly, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
No, no, for sure.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
All Wilson coming up, we got Joey Chestnut hot Dog Champion.
He's going for title eighteen tomorrow, so before he does
this official weigh in, he wanted to stop by and
hang with us, which is awesome.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
We'll talk to Joey Chestnut this hour. We'll play Brainwave.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Coming up later on the show, we'll talk some more NBA,
and one MLB player is getting a lot of international
love thanks to the World Cup. We'll get to all
that and more. And for the great Dan, Patrick, Cavino,
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
