you would say that? No? No, oh, better get Maco.
We met the Mako people in New Orleans at the
Super Bowl. But if you asked me, as a pumpkin
pie haircutted kid watching Sports Center, if I thought I'd
ever be filling in for Dan Patrick, I would probably
say no, probably not. Oh how cool is that? One
day that guy I'll be his number one filling So

(00:47):
I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis Danny g Super
producing eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. The most
buttery voice in radio, The smooth Danny G. Mar is here.
Thank you guys, Fox Sports Radio Nation for hanging with
us again. We're on from two to four on the West,
five to seven on the East. Monday through Friday, Cavino

(01:08):
and Rich as we shout out the Mako people that
we met at the Super Bowl. Yeah, good people. That's
where I had the conversation with LeVar. Oh, you were
doing your two man show. Well, here's what happened. We
were having cocktails with a bunch of the sponsors and
just a good time in New Orleans, and I roll
up with my college Hall of Famer, by the way, LaVar. Aaron,
I mean, what a guy, right, I mean, one of

(01:28):
the funniest dudes. I love LeVar. I'm having my Tito's
and soda. He strolls up. He pulls the straw out
of my drink and throws away. He's like, what are
you doing, straw? And that started a whole two man
show where Levar's telling me that I can't have a
straw in my cocktail. I thought that was standard, the
little bar straw, he said, hold on. He said it

(01:51):
was also the way you were sipping in like and
he had his pinky and he said, bent the straw
down to fit into your mouth like a little wood.
Rich originally asked for a silly straw, you know, the
little circle lead loops. But yeah, he was saying it
was the way you were doing it too, So straw
with a cocktail is a no no depending on how Yeah,

(02:13):
and Rich also asked for an umbrella and a sword
for his little pineapple fruit. I mean, who doesn't shout
out to the make up people. Shout out to our
buddy LeVar from two pros and a cup of job
All right? Uh? Why did Lebron ruin everything? Hold on,
I need to preface this. I don't want the Lebron smoke,
as I saw how he ruined Doug Gottlieb's day.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yes, and best believe we are on live on AM
five seventy the Blowtorch in southern California.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Better believe it. Lebron is waking up hearing you bozos
right now. Hey, Lebron, let it be known that me
Covino here, I'm a fan and I will say this respectful.
As he kissing the king's ass, My dad's gonna hear me.
Why are you kissing Lebron's eh? Why are you kissing
his as? I don't know, Dad, I'm just trying to

(03:00):
be diplomatic here. I don't hate Lebron. Sounds like you're
kissing his day. Sounds like no. I will say, when
you live under a microscope. Guy's been famous since he's
you know, been out of high school. Before high school,
you gotta give props first before you bring these things up,
because he rarely missteps and he's done so many things right.

(03:22):
Imagine if you were under that microscope, camera's on you
all the time, how many times you would have misstepped? Right,
So probably be in prison. I think this is a
misstep for Lebron and it's kind of funny. So you're right.
He has been under the microscope since he was a teenager,
and to think this, very few bad things anyone could

(03:44):
say about Lebron James. So if that's kissing his ass,
then so bad. I'll also say this, I am not
guilt free here. I've also made this mistake before and
I'll tell you my story. So again, I James smoked
at the Olympics. No, no, no, you'll hear about it,
and I'll tell you what if you guys don't know
my story. Lebron James did call out Doug Gottlieb yesterday

(04:06):
and Doug is like, I really don't care. I don't care.
There was it was a lot of drama here at
Fox Sports Radio, though yesterday, come on, Doug loves it.
He has to. I would love it. Hey, Lebron, feel
free to call me out. I really don't care. But
Bron made fun of Doug for having a three and
twenty four record as a coach. Don't you have anything
better today on your day off? I'm Doug gottlieb everybody,

(04:30):
So here's what happened. The way in a few weeks
I might have more coaching wins in little week is
a low blow. What I'm just saying. I'm a coach.
Oh you know now you're coach coach Davis. I'm coach Rich.
Give me, give me a couple of weeks. So again,
give me what I say. Coming what I say about Lebron.
I say I respect my team's one to know, but

(04:50):
I do mean what I say. Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio in for Dan Patrick, Danny g I
need you on standby in case I say anything out
of line or wrong because you're the resident Lakers fan.
But this is the story as I know it, all right,
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox It's All Star Weekend.
Most of us weren't doing in right there's a lot

(05:13):
of criticism. We talked about it yesterday. Man, it sucked.
Even Draymond Green set it sucked. Trey Young said it sucked.
Everybody said it suck. What did Draymon say on a
scale of one to ten zero? Yeah, yeah, I mean
people did not hold back on their thoughts and feelings
about the All Star Game. I mean David Kevin Love
was chirping yesterday. Did you see that Danny g about, Hey,

(05:35):
if you want people to participate, He was calling out
Mac mclung winning three years in a row.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Would think we should call him out for some of
his jokes during those twenty minute breaks?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, well, I think didn't Kevin Durant even say, hey,
if you get to criticize it so much, hey, let's
just not have an All Star weekend and we could
just chill. He did. I got it right here, he
tweeted out last night. I think it's more fun to
complain about the NBA than to actually watch it. Crazy,
cancel All Star weekend and let's just give everybody a
break since we're so miserable around this time. It's true,

(06:08):
but you're just calling it as you see it. But
people don't think not like it people want to lie.
But think about it this way, guys. We brought this
up like a month ago, and we focused on how
Charles Barkley and Shack and all the the you would say,
the face of the NBA as far as broadcasters and

(06:29):
pregame and post game, they're roasting the league. Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart's essentially doing stand up about how bad it is.
The players are saying it no other sport poops on
itself like the NBA. Imagine if you know a Rod
and Jeter and Big Papa, Big Papa, Big Poppy Papa.

(06:53):
Imagine if they were like, yeah, baseball stinks. Imagine if
you know Kevin Burcard and Joe Buck and Collinsworth they
were all like, yeah, you know, the NFL stinks. Yeah,
they're trying to lift the sport. They're trying to polish
a turn. So the INBIA is doing nothing to help itself, right,
And that's the same as we see it, right, So
at least they're being genuine about it because we also

(07:16):
feel the same thing. And they're just calling it as
you see it, And now I'm calling it as I
see it now. So it's All Star Weekend everybody had
their criticisms. To my understanding, Lebron's there and he's an
All Star, and last minute he's like, yeah, I'm not
gonna play, and you got to put yourself in his

(07:36):
size sixteen shoes. Probably wanted to see how he felt,
That's what I'm imagining, and then realized, like, you know,
what's not worth it? Not playing? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Wow, first time in twenty years that he wasn't active
in the game. And Yannis, to be fair, did the
same thing.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
But it ads to the disappointment. In all fairness, Yiannis
isn't Lebron. Right, Lebron has done a lot to lift
the league. I don't say that the kiss ass, but
last minute, you know what you're doing. Now you're taking
the roster spot of someone else. Someone else could have
been there had he made this decision sooner. But maybe
he was really waiting it out, giving the benefit of

(08:15):
the doubt. Waited out to the last minute to see
if he felt good enough. But his toots, he's hurt,
his ankle hurt, whatever saw needed the rest wasn't good
enough to play. Now. Criticism number one again, roster spot taken.
I'm not real worried about that, Well, no, what you're
not in the NBA, bozo, What if you wanted to
be on an All Star team? That would have been

(08:36):
kind of cool in a league that complains about the weekend?
Who's Lebron? Who's he taking a spot for anybody? Someone
that doesn't deserve to be there anyway? Well, I mean
that's not necessarily true because Trey Young deserved to be
there and he wasn't there unless, yeah, because of injury, right,
because spots were opened, So Lebron James missteps there, takes

(09:01):
a spot, could have gave it to somebody else, could
have nominated someone else. That would have been cool. Right,
But they're taking team pictures, which is always I guess
an honor. Right, you're there with all the greats of
the year, or it should be an honor. That's the thing.
My favorite group photo every year is all the NFL

(09:22):
head coaches. When does that come out? That is pretty good?
That's always they're taking the All Star team photos and
Lebron James jumps in with some big names. They're All
Stars guys, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, James Harden, Kyrie's there.
They're all there posing and they're All Star uniforms and

(09:44):
Lebron James jumps in with street clothes. This is the
team photo. Street clothes, dude, like, not like a warm
up outfit, Like this is what he was rocking. And
they're like, all right, we're taking the team photo. Now,
I understand he was I understand he wasn't playing, but
you're gonna tell me his ankle hurts so much that
he couldn't throw on a pair of shorts, the tank top,

(10:08):
the shirt and just pose the rest of the team
like a guy who's honored to be on the All
Star team. I thought that was odd, in my opinion,
ruin the photo. I get it, he's Lebron James. Any
photo with Lebron James is a great photo. I'd be
thrilled to have a photo with Lebron James. But these
are his contemporaries, these are other big stars. If I

(10:28):
was Steph Curry, if I was Kevin Durant, be like, yo, man,
put your uniform on. What are you doing? You're ruining
the photo? Ruined the photo? Now, what did I say?
I said, I've been there and I've done that. I
am not guilt free here. I have my own stories,
but we also want to open it up to you
and your thoughts eight seven seven ninety nine one fox.
To me, it just adds to the feeling of how

(10:50):
little do you care about this? Because when you, the player,
the superstar, the team doesn't care about the product, how
do you expect the fans to care about the product?
How do you expect us to care about the game?
You don't even care enough to put the uniform on
for a photo. And that's just one little side story here,
but that feeling translates to us, and that's why we

(11:14):
are left here like that was boring. No, it's the
question here is ruining the topic, really is ruining the photo? Yeah,
and some people care? How could you not? Some people? Dude,
that's the problem. It's supposed to be an honor. How
you're supposed to care. If you don't, why should I?

(11:37):
I have so many examples of I'll give you a
really bad example to start it off. It's still early.
Nobody's listening, right, I mean, it's probably the most listen
to Dan Patrick Hower. But well, then I gotta say
this a little. I gotta preface this by saying, you know,
when you're a little kid, you have no perspective, especially
when you're a little eighties kid and you're a little
sexist eighties kid. That was me, little sexist eighties kid.

(12:00):
Do you know what the story goes? Danny G. Cavino
didn't believe the Go Gos played instruments. I didn't. I
thought that was fake. I believed the Chipmunks were more
real than the Go Goos. Like, there's no way girls
played drums and guitar. This guy's terrible, very sexist. I
was like, I believe Alvin and Simon and Theodore are
real musicians. I don't know about these Go Gos? Do
you hear this guy? That's how I felt as a kid.

(12:22):
You've come a long way. I've evolved that you don't
when it should show you. Man, what a great guy
in Kavino turned out to me? Yeah, because he was
like the worst eighties kid that ever was. Yeah, that's
not what we were thinking.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
It was the eighties. Okay, So I evolved a lot.
But when I was an eighties kid, there was like
one girl on your little league team? Right, looking back
as a girl dad, as a respectful evolved man, I say, man,
good for them, how cool? How cool is that? But
back then, when I was a nose picking, little sexist bratt,
I was like, man, let's go ruins the whole photo,

(12:53):
the whole photo, because it made your team look soft. Right,
you displayed that the photo and your friends come over.
You got a girl on your team, and you're like, yeah,
I guess looking back, I'm like, I'm I'm like, wow,
she was ahead of her time. Good for her. That
was great.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
She was good.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
She held her own. Back then when I was a kid,
I'm like, look at her holding the sign, ruining the photo.
You little Dutch boy girl haircut? So I felt not
gonna lie ruined the photo. My examples are not as
terrible as could. He knows I'm a good man, but
I hear what you're saying. Or how about the kid
that had the He was like a little bit of

(13:29):
a husky kid. So he had to get an oversized
jersey or something he had to wear like oversized pants,
and they didn't match anyone else's team. Like this kid,
this kid right here, husky I had. He ruined the photo.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
I had.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I had a all right, now you're talking, because I
had a I'm talking. I had a team photo for
one of my little leagues. I remember they would put
on a plaque and you put that crap in your
room because you were proud of it. Like my little
league team, right there is one kid who wore jeans.
What a pathetic team you played for two awards jeans

(14:01):
little League picture day. So here I am. You know,
it's like probably nineteen ninety one, you know, the you know,
Minor League Red Sox, and I'm with all my buddies.
Everyone's got their navy blue red Sox, you know T shirts.
Who was on your team, Kelly Leak of the Bad
News Bears? Did you ride a moped there?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
You know?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
We had the navy blue T shirts. My kids teams
now they have like professional unifor jeans on the little
league team besides the coach and he's like nineteen seventy slash.
Has everyone else recognized that as parents, my kids, my
sons and T ball. He has a home and road jersey.
They have legitimate uniform. We had ones from the sixties

(14:37):
and we got them like left over you recycled, though
we did. We had mine smelled like cigars. We had
T shirts like let's say I was the Brewers that year.
We had a blue T shirt. They just had Brewers,
like they just printed T shirts, white baseball pants and
T shirts.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Now my kids on the Rockies we have home and
away jerseys, and we have like the purple baseball socks
and matching belts and their five. But you know what,
you could relate because that kid, for whatever reason, maybe
they made a stupid face or they showed up in jeans,
ruined the foe. And that's what Lebron James did. This
is an onerous the All Star team. Hey, let me

(15:13):
ask you one quick question, rich the guy that backs
into his parking spot thinks he's better than you. Lebron
James is there with his other contemporaries, other superstars, and
he's wearing street clothes. What is he the coach? Does
he think he's better than me? Playing problem? It's Lebron James.

(15:33):
That's the point, dude. You gotta play the humble card
because people are gonna sayn James, do you want him
to suit up? So that the dude is that asking
a whole lot. You're already there, you're taking a team photo.
Are you not on the team? But he's not playing?
So what he's been to like twenty of them exactly.
You're not caring about it, right, so why should we

(15:56):
the fans? If you want to share some funny stories
about ruining the photo. I have a few the team
photo as a kid where the one dude in the
front row was wearing jeans and I couldn't as a
little kid, my OCD was like, what is this stupid kid?
I hate that for you. We should track that kid
down beat them. Why is this one kid wearing jeans

(16:17):
in our baseball team photo? I hate it? Looking back,
you were mad at the kid, but you have to
now as an adult, evolved adult site it's because his
parents didn't love him that Now, now this sounds super douchey.
My wife and I were on our honeymoon, So let
me preface by saying that, because it's not like I'm
some world traveler, but my wife and I have a
photo of us on our honeymoon. We did a little

(16:38):
little the little trip around Europe, only time I ever done.
It was awesome. So for our honeymoon, one of the
stops on our trip was France, one of the most
beautiful sight trail'll ever see. You get Oh, of course
I got a wal You got a walshole. You know,
I got a wassle, tell me about it, not a croissanto.

(17:02):
The background is picturesque, like you know what celebrities are
in there, like douchey yachts in the French Riviera. Behind
me were mountains, the water and all those rich people's boats.
My wife and have a photo. Oh and in the
background is Odell Beckham Junior and Victor Cruz and they're
wearing timberlands. They're posing on a boat. My wife and

(17:23):
I have this picture of her and I. And right
as the person clicked the picture of my wife and
I with the most picturesque background, some tiny little kid
walks in our frame. But it looks like he's standing
next to us like he's our child. So I have

(17:45):
like the most beautiful picture of my wife and I
and next to us it looks like we adopted like
a little Dominican kid or something. That's what he looks like, Danny. Sorry,
So that's one. There's a rule it goes along with this,
so that pictures aren't ruined. That's a little kid a
big poppy photobomb, so the photobomb will ruin the photo bomb.

(18:08):
The photo bomb is interesting because if you're at a
bar taking a photo. Hey, you got together with your
old college buddies. It's funny one time when some dope
at the bars. But if he does it more than once,
then you gotta be like, hey, dude, scram because I
get it. The one time photobomb is funny. Like now,

(18:30):
Google could fix that easy. But I had to bring
this up because I'm at the park with my daughter
and her friends. And my daughter has like three year
of her little best buddies, their little girl squad. They're
all seven years old, eight years old, and it's like
her little best pals, and they were all they had

(18:53):
all come from gymnastics, so they were looking all cute
and their little outfit. So I was like, hey, girls,
oh that Emmy's dad. Here, take a picture. There's some
other girl that's like not in their crew. Was like
me too, how do you tell a little kid get
out of Oh it's like the little kid that didn't
tress up for Halloween. I was like, I was like,

(19:13):
that's cool, all right, now one without her, What are
you gonna do? You can't tell a little kid get
out of the picture. My daughter and her best friends
and some random girl at the park. I'm like, hey,
random girl at the park, you're gonna set this one out.
You asked that girl to take the picture. That's what
you do, and you jump in andfle and Danny. The
other lesson learned here at Cavino Rich as we talked

(19:35):
about Lebron. As Cavino said ruining the All Star photo,
he did, I would love for Danny g because again
he's a Lebron super fan and Lakers fan. I'm not
a Lebron hater, but in my opinion, he did. There's
there's wait. You think it sound like I'm a Lebron
poster above my bed. You don't.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Now, I'm a Lakers fan, and whoever our lead dog is,
then I'll support that player.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Do you agree?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Though?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like that was a yeah time the moment, it's a
look yeah, yeah, I have to wrap this up. I
have a lesson, and Covino's dad has a solution. Yeah,
Cavino's dad, how would you say? The lesson is if
there's a new person in the in the crew, your

(20:21):
brother's new girlfriend, or hey, that's you know, Uncle Hank's
Fluozy of the month. Yeah, Uncle Hank's Fluzi of the month.
When you take that Christmas photo. That person's on the end.
That way, they could be cropped out when their time
is over.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
They've all heard about this by now though, so it's ruined.
But they know what you're up to.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
But if you're hanging out with all your old high
school past, you should also have the wherewithal to know
it's their job to take the photo. How they pick
up on that rule take the photo or if you're
in it, go on the end because you might eventually
be cropped out of this bad boy just the rule,
Like you gotta know. But I am in favor of
that person being in the photo. Sometimes I offer up

(21:05):
because I don't want to be in that photo. I'm like,
you know what, I'll take it, you know, because I
don't want to be with you guys, Danny. I learned
that lesson on an episod. I'm not seeing a bright
future with this little get together on an episode of
How I Met Your Mother. This is a great lesson
they learned where if the person's permanent, that could be
the first photo. So I'm always cool with the new

(21:26):
person being in the photo. Just put them on the end.
But Kavino's dad has the best solution. My dad was
the inventor. This is true story, guys, the inventor of photoshop.
What he used to do, and this is true. My grandma,
every grandma had like walls of photos right high school
photos were still framed like graduation photos, family photos, wedding photos.

(21:52):
We don't live that life the way we did growing up,
where there's a million photo frames all over the wall.
By the way, in a related story today, I saw
I think it was on buzz gen Z. Like teenagers
in twenty year olds have a new fascination with printing
out like tangible photos. So they're saying that maybe it's
on the come it's on the come up and come back,
that the idea of printing out photos is fascinating to

(22:14):
a teenager. So it would always be who's that guy,
And it was like the ex husband or ex boyfriend
or ex somebody. It was a lot of like people
who were in these photos that weren't necessarily in the
family anymore. So my dad would cut out celebrity heads
of anybody of John Davidson, the host of Hollywood Squares,

(22:34):
or Tony danzer Henry whoever's famous at the time, pictures
from the TV guy. Yes, Steve rkle you. He'd cut
out like mister T's head or something, and he would
put him all over you know, these people's heads. You'd
go over my house or my grandmother's house to be
all these like random celebrity heads covering the other heads
on the frame. So Judith Light was at Thanksgiving ninety one. Yeah,

(22:57):
So my dad claims that he's the true inventor of
photoshop because he was the first to do this in
the early eighties. Now again, how did I do this?
I pulled the Lebron so I'm not innocent here. And
your thoughts on him ruining the team photo at the
All Star Game? I mean, did he did he not?
We'll talk a little Lebron and all your feedback. Covino

a story. We're talking about ruining pictu That's what we're

person is Lebron. James and Lebron. We don't want to smoke.

Dan Patrick. I feel like we made a lot of
great points. Cavino brought this up because Lebron Dre Lebron James,

(25:47):
Lebron James, he was in a street cloth for the
NBA All Star photo and Cavino said, he kind of
thrown on a warm up shirt or something. I think
a disrespect to his teammates. You say, he is me.
I'd be honored to jump in a photo or for
him to jump in a photo with me. You said
he ruined the photo op by wearing street clothes when

(26:09):
everyone else is in uniform. And we you know, brought
up the basic rules when someone photo bombs you. Oh,
it's funny at first. If they try to do it
a second time, it's like, all right, loser, get out
of here. I was saying, when you try to take
a picture of your kid with like their friend and
some ancillary kid at the playgrounds like me too, and
you're like, how do you tell a little kid to
get out of there? The new relative kids scram the
boyfriend or girlfriend of the relative at a holiday has

(26:32):
to be on the end of the photo so they
could be cropped out when they're out of the mix.
Now I'm calling out Lebron, I say it, uh respectfully
but I'm also not innocent here, cause, like I said,
I've evolved. Look at me now, man, what a great guy.
I don't back into parking spots. I don't think I'm
better than you. I'm not sexist anymore. I'm a girl dad.

(26:56):
I watched the WNBA. I'm a great guy. But Danny
g there was a point in the early two thousands
when I was a mega magga douche, right, I really was.
It's hard to believe, no, no, no, but you gotta
hear me out though, because I really I still think
there's a part of me that's right. But looking back,
I was wrong when Como says I'm a girl dad,

(27:18):
I'm not sexist. It's like when when a racist person
goes I have black friends, Like come on, yeah, So
I remember one of our buddies was having a themed
party and I don't know. That was like painful to
my ears back then, like I'm not doing that, what
but like, why buddy, our buddy had a pink party?

(27:41):
I'm like, what is that? What is that sounds lame
exactly right, and especially I'm in my early twenties, I'm
trying to be super cool guy. My girlfriend's like we
gotta go. And I'm like, I'm not what, what is
a pink party? Everybody's wearing pink like everybody but me. Eh,
I was there. I was there, so dude. Everyone shows

(28:03):
up and all the dudes, you know, they're wearing their
pink button down that they got it express or structure
at the time. Everyone's busting out their pink outfit and
I showed up. I am not lying. I'm true to
my word.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Here.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
I showed up blue button down and everyone's like, it's
a pink party. I'm like, I don't care what party.
You're lucky i'm here. But here I am thinking I'm
better than you, just like Lebron. Yeah, that's why I'm
speaking from experience you and the you and the a
hole to that. I remember, look at those photos now,
i want to punch myself in the face. I'm like,
what a douche? Look at me? Why was I such

(28:38):
a jerk? That's how I feel. I'm the only guy
posing with a bunch of dudes in pink shirts and
I'm wearing a blue shirt like I'm cooler than all
of you. No one, no one necessarily was like, oh man,
I can't wait to wear a pink shirt. But when
someone said, hey, we're having a theme party. Was at
a really cool club in New York City. We were
in our twenties. Danny, When I tell you, the picture
is all the you know, beautiful girl and the dudes

(29:01):
are all wearing like, you know, like a pink T
shirt or button down. It was a theme. You don't
necessarily love the theme, but when you get invited to
a party with a theme, you go along with it.
When they have that Fanatics white party every year and
everyone wears you know, they're all the rich people go
to that party and they wear they're linen used to
go to. I never went to a bitty party. Don't
start that rumor that you hated. Cavino would be the

(29:23):
guy that would show up to that Fanatics white party.
That who's the guy I'm drawing a bike, the guy
that runs Fanatics. Oh, Mark, Uh, what's his name? I forget?
You forget? Yeah, just like you did, Mark carry on
Mark douche with money. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's it.
You'd be the guy that shows up in like a

(29:43):
black T shirt, and I did that with the blue
button down. The point is I ruined the photo. I
ruined the photo looking back? Who's that a hole?

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Oh? Else?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Cavino too cool to wear the pink shirt? And again
I deserve the Michael rue but Michael Rubin not Mark.
How do you criticize me when you're the dummy talking
about it and didn't even think of his name. I
didn't get the Mark Rubin invite Michael Ruben, Michael Ruben,
you know, by the way, I forgot to think on
purpose when he ruined the baseball jerseys this past season.

(30:16):
So your thoughts. I want to know two things. Did
Lebron ruin the photo? And the times as someone or
maybe it was you that ruined the photo? Chris in
La you're all with coven On rich In for DP.
What's up? Man?

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Good morning? So hey, I love his show.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Thanks.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
You know, I think he has a spot on man.
I think this is this is Lebron being Lebron. He
always wants to be the center of attention and he's
all about team as long as the team revolves around him.
And think about it, ten years from now, twenty years
from now, if someone looks at that picture, what's the
main thing that's going to stand out Lebron?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
It looks like he's the coach, like he's better than them.
I don't like that. If I was hard in or
KD I remember, he's trying to big time me here, No,
I don't like that. Won't put on his jersey. He's
not playing that.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
You're acting like it's so hard to put on shorts.
To put on shorts in the shirt, that's not asking
a lot.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
To be fair, He's dealing with an ankle and foot injuries,
so that would have aggravated the injury.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
He put short. Yeah, I'm sure, just like an aggravating
when he put on his outfit in the morning. Adam,
my face n in Ohio, you're on what somebody'll we're
kod Man? What's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Hey, listen, everybody's calling him mister, mister Lebron James. Here,
here's a fact, a straight fact. This shong man was
in high school. He was just a crowd prince back then.
But during that period when he was in high school,
you were to have zero contact with agents. You were
to see zero gifts from anybody. Okay. Bottom line is

(31:53):
Prince Lebron at that time got a nice, real nice
hummer from an agent. Didn't turn around erected and the
only the only reason it was ever just because he
wrecked and it became public record. A reporter got a reporter,
you know.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
So what's the what what? What's What's your point? Tim Ken?

Speaker 4 (32:12):
The point is the point is any other athletes at
that time would have lost everything as far as any
kind of amateur status.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
I'm still not following. He's he's a privileged guy, I think.
But Lebron for the last twenty years has done an
amazing job. Yeah. So that's how we started a conversation,
and that's why it stands out even more Danny J.
And then when you think about why is everyone hating
on the All Star Games so much this year? This
only adds to the are you pointing out though I'm

(32:43):
just playing Devil's advocate. Yeah, we're pointing out just another
trivial thing where Lebron would be like, really another people
noticizing history close to me. It's a real life moment.
We've all been there. I've been there, I've been that person.
I think he even knows, like, yeah, I missed up
because he could have easily put on his outfit. So
you're saying Lebron ja Lebron James wearing street clothes where

(33:04):
everyone else has a uniform is equivalent to when the
kid wore jeans in My Little League picture. Yes, that's
oh really quicker. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I was just gonna say that. Your boy, Arnie Spanier
texted into the show. I'm sure, Yeah, weekend personality here
on the network, and I'm sure people have maybe some
experience with this when it comes to work photos.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
He says.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Fox Sports said let's take a picture with all the hosts,
so I jumped in. They said, no, only the Monday
through Friday host.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
The real ones. That's horrible, man, that's that's mean. Yeah,
I don't like that. Well, put Arnie on the ends
so we could crop him out of here. That's exactly
that's how you hand them. Love you, buddy, Danny. No, no,
we met Arnie. Can you take the photo? That's what
you met?

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yeah, Arnie called the show this morning and then I'll
edit you out of the podcast version.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yeah, that's cold blooded. All right. How about this, though, Danny,
g can you give me who was on that team
that maybe it was their first time on that team,
or maybe it's a younger player and they're just honored
to be there. You don't think that sort of ruins
the moment for that guy who's proud to be in
a photo and a teammate of Lebron James. It ruins

(34:15):
the moment for that guy. You know, I think Tatum's
on that team, but like he's been there, done that.
But for a younger player, he okay, like Tyler hero
you don't think it meant a little something to him
that he played in the time where the great Lebron
James was on his All Star team. Oh man, you
got a photo, dad, Tyler Heroes an old guy. He

(34:36):
busts out the photo. He's like, yeah, look, I played
on a team with Lebron. Lebron's not even in the uniform.
You don't think it kind of ruins it for those guys.
You know, it's a slight It wasn't intentional in my opinion,
but it was a misstep that could be perceived as
disrespectful to his teammates and as a fan and as
a guy who's been there and done that and seen it,

(34:57):
it rubs rubs me the wrong way. The b side
to Johnny gil I gotta I gotta tell you two quickies.
Number one, Danny, this is the vain part of me.
I feel like you're not as vain as me, or
especially Cavino. If you took a photo with one of
your heroes but you looked like crap in the picture,

(35:17):
would that haunt you?

Speaker 4 (35:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
I would let it go. Yeah, Like I I have
pictures with some of my heroes, but I feel like
I don't look good like I have. Like I have
a picture with Joe Montana, and I feel like I
look weak as hell. And it's like, can I display
a photo where you look like, oh man, I look
terrible that day? Whereas that just that's vanity? Take it over, right?

(35:40):
And how about this Cavino? Every year for a few
years I had gone to this old school wrestling convention
with some of my buddies just because we were reminiscing,
you know. It was it was fun to see those
old school wrestlers that we grew up with, right mm hmm.
Guys like sergeants Slaughter. They go there in their costume,

(36:01):
right like, they played up, like because they know fans
were paying fifty bucks or whatever to take a picture.
The Demolition wore their face makeup. Jake the Snake Robert
showed up there I'm not even joking. Wearing a Golden
State Warriors T shirt and like baggy pants, and I'm like,
like dad jeans, Like I'm thinking, like, why don't you
assume he should go there? Yeah, in his jake the

(36:27):
snake gear, you would think.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yeah, instead of ruined the moment, that would be like
mc hammer showing up to a meet and great back
in the day in Underruth.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, no, where's the hammer pants? Buddy? Speaking of ruining photos,
we were at the Volume party for Super Bowl weekend
and we got invited to Colin Cowhert's party. Right the
Volume party. We hadn't seen Colin in a minute, and
you know we're fans. We're filling in for Colin on Friday. Yeah.

(36:56):
We don't have any photos with Colin. None, and people
may find that odd. Like I worked at kay Rock,
New York for eight years. I don't have one photo
of me and Howard Stern, not one. Sometimes you don't
cross paths, No, you just don't cross paths, and you
know you wish you had that photo. You rarely see
Colin because we're on different schedules. He works in a
different building. But you know, I'm a fan, so we're

(37:19):
there at the party. He's like, stars, Yeah, kay, Colin,
we're jumping a photo. We're getting a photo, me and Rich.
John Middlecoff takes the photo. He may have taken the
worst photo than ever was. And I love that guy.
And by the way, I hate it. I love Johnny's great.
You guys hit it off. I talked to me, I
was gonna try to replace me with John Middlecock. I
hate everybody. I thought John was great. I'm like, dude,

(37:41):
you're awesome because he was like real, like he was
really intense. I love talking to the guy. Not a
great not a great photographer. Speaking of photos ruined. All right,
we got more Cavino Rich live from the Mercedes Benz Studio,

to seven on the East, two to four pm on
the West. Out here in La the Mean Streets of Lao,
Covino and Rich follow rate and review our podcast. Let's

(39:31):
wrap up this Lebron James ruining the pictures thing other way,
speaking of out here in la Yeah, first hour we
talked about great TV show endings and how Cobra Kai
really was like the cheesiest best ending. Did you see
they pretty much were driving past the Fox Sports radio building, absolutely,
and I loved it, like all the b roll in

(39:54):
Cobra Kai. They drive right past Fox Sports, right past
us on the corner of where we are, and then
you know in Sino Commons, Danny right down the block
that sign that says in Sino Commons. Yeah. Of course
there's a scene that I don't want to give it away,
but let's just say they're running in the street and
it's right in this neighborhood, kind of like Rocky Boy
they do. They do a playoff for Rocky a little bit,

(40:15):
and it's just really funny that that show that we
both love filmed right in this neighborhood. I thought that
was great for real. So yeah, we talked about that
the first hour. We're the league leaders of Cobra Kai
discussions here on five Sports Radio. Let's be honest. The
Sakai Tukkai was better than All Star Weekend, no doubt.
And we're wrapping it up. Is it the biggest deal

(40:36):
in the world. No, but it's noticeable and it's a
funny story. Lebron James took an All Star Game photo
team photo in his street clothes. Everyone else had a uniform,
everyone else out of their year, and he grew in
the photo. We were sharing some funny stories and you
know again, the new person should either take the photo
or go on the end. And here's another tip. When

(40:57):
you're with the wife of your girlfriend and you're you know,
wanting to capture a moment, because what a wives and
girlfriends always complain about we don't have any pictures together.
You have to pick just the right person, you know who.
I always look for a twenty something year old female
because she knows angles, she knows how to take a photo.
Don't hold your phone up and be like, who could

(41:18):
take a picture? Hey, old guy, don't hand your phone
to an eighty year old ever hand your phone to
a guy named Ebenezer, or guy for any for any
guy for that matter. Yeah, I think I ain't no help.
Look for a hipster too, somebody that looks tech savvy. Yeah,
look for someone that's like, put it in portrait mode
upside down, like you know, some girl that try to

(41:40):
point out a girl that looks that she cares too
much about Instagram. That's who you want taking your photo.
H David and Florida. What's up, David?

Speaker 5 (41:48):
Yeah? So how was the bat boy from my older brother's.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Team.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
Yeah, and we just want the championship, so we're gonna
set up they take a picture. So this older dude
on the team said I couldn't be on it. So
I got all my feelings. I started crying. I started
walking the other way. My brother says, what the what
the hell you doing? Man? Getting the dark picture stopped
being a big wook, So I walked away. So he

(42:17):
got pissed through a softball upside my head. And then
my other two brothers got in a fight, so the
team pitcher got taken, but they were arguing them and
it was all jacked up.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
All because of you. The ball. But the bat boys,
I kind of want to see this photo that right,
they are great. Can I tell you that it's sort
of annoyed me too. You know, I play on softball
teams out here in LA. Sometimes they're a good team,
sometimes they're not. We fight. We won like the the
Valley Championship, almost as big as the Sakai Takai. And

(42:52):
when they did the group picture at the end, like, hey,
we you know we won this season. Like some random
dude that just hung around with the team went in
the photo and I bother me a little disrespect. It
bothered me a little. Yeah, some people don't have picture etiquette.
Wrap it up Christian in Texas. You know what if
he goes real quick twenty seconds, Christian, you have buddy. Hey,

(43:13):
I just want to say that I feel like we're
being a little harsh on Lebron. It's a picture. It's
just a picture.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
I mean, Kobe did it back and I forgot what
it was, but he did the same thing.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
He was wearing like a suit and his two wrongs
don't make it right. But but I just think we
are being tough on Lebron. That's why I have a
bad half player. It's a funny conversation, Lebron. You hear
that Rich Davis got you back. You know who doesn't
Cavin know? And Doug Gottlieb
