He's still getting situated, so I'll do my best. Danny G. Yeah, Yeah, Good morning nation. Yeah, We're gonna talk some sports today, all right, of course, Joel on the ones and twos on a Glockenspiel, Spotty Boy on the videos at Covino and Rich Let's get interactive, let's get involved, Let's have a good day. It's day three of the Dan Slam. We got one more show, big holiday week. Super excited for it. Rich is out there in Texas. How's it going, hop along Dicky?

Yeaha'na. We're gonna talk some fireworks, We're gonna talk some movies. We're gonna talk some NBA.

You know, Hey, don't over promise because we've got prizes to give away. And we got to do midweek major the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. We do it every midweek. Are they midweek or major? So there's a lot to get to today.

Oh, we're gonna talk baseball, We're gonna talk some cookouts. We're gonna get to everything.

But I think that out that required a Howard Dean scream at the end of that.

Yeah yeah, uh you know, I was, by the way, speaking to which if you're a little tired, that's calling uh you call that a Joe Biden. Did you see he said he almost fell asleep at the debate?

No?

Was he see this for real? No?

You know why? Because I am a little tired after doing Dan Patrick. It those our schedule off. For as fun as it is, I love doing this three hours of awesome and it's always a great time, but it throws off our our regular schedule. Normally we're on from two to four on the west, five to seven on the east. So I mean, if something happens, there's a good chance I fell asleep.

So again, not to get political, people hate.

That sounds a little political to me.

No, because he said, Biden said, hey, man, I almost fell asleep on stage at the debate. He said he just had traveled a lot internationally that week. He didn't listen to his team who said Joe rest up for the debate, and he said they were because he almost fell asleep.

And he had a cold and he's one hundred and eighty eight years old. Look enough of the excuses. Yeah, just bring it next time, that's all. Well, listen, bring it next time.

I know that when we do the Dan Patrick Show, it's a hell of a lot of fun and honor. But you're right, it does throw off the schedule. I'm up late last night because I can't fall asleep, but I want to fall asleep because we got to wake up early for Dan. And you ever watched that. I don't think you did Season one of Your Honor.

I saw the first few episodes. I remember it being extremely intense.

Dude, intense is not the word. And then season two came out, and for some reason it was on Showtime and maybe I was busy watching football with something else. There was like I'm busy with my kids.

That's the show with Brian Cranston.

Yeah. Yeah, And I was like, oh crap, look, season two is on Netflix. I've been binging the hell out of that this week. It's so good. It's so intense. But you know when you watch something so serious about murder and crime and every episode you're freaking hearts beating where that can't be the last thing you watch before you go to bed.

Yeah, but you're a little extreme, but I understand the feeling. I understand the feeling. What was the show spot where Rich said it was like traumatizing and he couldn't sleep because it was so scary, And then we watched it, We're like, is he serious about that? It was kind of like Stranger Things or something like that, which was like, I just I.

Couldn't even sleep. I was terrified, and we were like, come on, man.

We watched it and we laughed like he was like making a big deal about this. This was the show he couldn't what was it?

You know that Disney cartoon? No, what was it? Man?

It was some show so long. There was some show Rich was all about, and he's like, don't let your kids watch, man.

I just couldn't.

I had to watch something stupid. I remember you brought this up recently, So again, that's all relative, but I do know the feeling, like we can all relate. But I don't know if Your Honor is gonna make me feel that way. But there could be some some scary psychological movie, like scary thriller, some scary movie, and then I start feeling some sort of spirit in my room and I start feeling weird vibes that could get me going. It just depends on what you're watching.

If you're watching some alien documentary, or you're watching, like I said, Your honor Or back in the day, Marty, if you're watching Ozark and like, you know, there's some intense ending of an episode, I can't then just be like all right, bedtime, like I know, I know what it was, and people are gonna crack up laughing.

What was it? Rich came in one day and he's like.

You know that feeling when you watch something terrible.

And you just can't sleep, and they're like, yeah, what'd you watch.

He's like quid Games.

Oh that's right. He's like, don't let your kids watch, don't watch at night, don't watch after midnight.

He'll turn into a grimlin. It was terrible, and we all watched it. Like I mean it was.

It was pretty gruesome at points, but they didn't give me nightmares the way you were describing. But but to be fair, I do know the feeling where you need almost a palate cleanse. You need a palate cleanse of sorts, just to refresh your your mind and go to sleep peacefully.

I get it.

I get what you're saying.

I needed a palate cleanse like you said. I mean like earlier the night. Earlier in the night, I watched my Mets jump out another game over five hundred, scoring another five plus inning, five plus run inning, and extra inning. So yesaid, it was a nice night. But I'm watching Your Honor, which I didn't even want to recommend to you because you don't listen to me anyway, but you would love it, Brian Cranston. It's so intense, and I know season two has been out a minute now, but I'm watching that and then I'm like, I can't go to sleep. My mind's moving a million to a million ways, even.

After waking up five am on the West. For Dan Patrick, I find that hard to believe. Danny g said the same thing. Hey man, I was a little restless last night. Couldn't fall sleeve. I was like how I was exhausted. I was like Joe Biden. I was not an out trying to watch was Oh you know what my girlfriend on last night Family Affair. It's a new Netflix movie, number one on Netflix, brand new, with Nicole Kidman and Zach Effron.

Well, they have a yeah, they they have.

I've never seen tighter faces in my life all in one game.

That is true. There's a lot of tight there's a lot of botox in that room.

Yeah, but Rich, I had like like a cartoon toothpicks up my eyes, you know, like like Tom and Jerry, they're just trying to stay awake. I just I was trying so hard. I had the exact opposite feeling that you had yesterday.

I was out. I was snoring throughout the whole movie. That's the movie where zac Efron's like a superstar and he ends up with his assistance mom.

Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'll tell you this. I could wrap this up. Two seconds started off pretty entertaining. Halfway through I was snoozing.

Well I could have saw that coming. You're talking about two picks in your eyes.

But it's really slowed down. That's my point though, And I was tired, so.

I watched the game that I binged, your honor. So there's a point of me bringing this all up besides, you know, relating to everyone that knows that feeling of ya. I can't watch some crime documentary and then be like, all right, can I? So I'm like, all right, what can I put on this nonsense? Like something light that will make me laugh that It's just there's no way there's anything serious about I'm like, oh, look what's on Netflix?

You know what? This reminds me of?

Two.

This reminds me of rich and I know a lot of people that do this. Their last bite has to be something delicious on their entree. They save their last bite because they don't want that feeling of I don't know, a piece of broccoli to be their last bite. They wanted to be the tasty, savory or sweet whatever. And if they have the last bite and it's some sort of piece of broccolini. They're upset by that.

The example would be we were we were in Vegas for Fox Sports Radio. You and I were covering a fight and I had my last bite, my last bite of like a delicious my last bit of like a delicious filet mignon, and I need my palate clan. I think, like Danny your spot or someone said like, hey, you want to try chucken palm, and I took a bite and I'm like, ah, damn it, this ruin the last taste in my mouth. So, yes, maybe I'm very particular, but yes.

That's what I'm trying to point out here. You're a little bit on the wack of do.

Something visionist history too, because it wasn't us offering it, it was you saying, are you gonna finish that? And then you took up what was left on the plate, and then you're like, damn it, I shouldn't have done that.

Danny. Maybe you're right, but there is a point to this whole story other than the relatability of not wanting to go to sleep after watching some creepy crap. So you're honor super intense I'm like, I need something else to watch on Netflix. There it is. I was like, perfect, that's my boy with Adam Sandler Vanilla Ice Andy Samberg, one of the funniest yet dumbest movies in the last decade plus. And I put it on and as I put it on, there it is the guy we're filling in for. I forgot that Dan Patrick played Randall Morgan with a big poofy blonde wig. He was like the entertainment reporter that was there trying to get the story. And I'm like, man, what has Dan Patrick been in besides these Sandler movies? Then I go on Dan Patrick's IMDb. Let me tell you, boys, we're filling in for a comedic legend.

Yeah, he's in a ton of Sandler films. You know, because the same man, much like you and I grew up watching Dan Patrick on Sports Center, you know, he grew up with him, was a fan and Navy King pals along the way somehow.

But he's a lot of movies. Not only is the great Dan Patrick, you know, the best in the radio sports biz. I looked up Damn Patrick's IMDb and he was in Hustle, he was in Hub Halloween American Vandal brock Buyer, The Ridiculous Six. He was on Entourage blended with Sandler grown Ups, That's My Boy, Jack and Jill grown ups the first one, Chuck and Larry benchwarmers, playmakers like God. He was in Clerk's water Boy Basketball like I mean, we're talking like not like one cameo. It made me realize that.

DP that just shows us, the man, how much we pail in comparison. To be honest, we haven't even made a Sharknado yet. This guy's in all these sweet ass Sandler films. The thing is, I thought that was Jim Lampley in the That's My Boy movie with that blonde puffador.

He had that gray wiggy had uh. It's funny as hell.

But yeah, I've seen those clips. I've seen Dan Patrick with that wigan from That's My Boy, but I've never seen That's My Boy. And that's a stellar cast because Yo, v I p let's kick it. I'm a big Vanilla Ice guy.

Vanilla Ice is the you know, he's like the hand them comic relief. But the whole point of that movie, if you've ever said, was Adam Sandler. And it's pretty vulgar and funny, like it's it's a very hard arm funny comedy. You'd like it.

Are you sure you didn't?

Sandler is uh in this movie, which I think is over a decade old. Now, Danny, have you ever seen That's My Boy?

Or No? No is the one? Just for reference again, you've seen Dan Patrick with this blonde white wig on, and that's what he wears in this movie. I've seen that Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler is like a little teenage boy. That's how the movie starts. And he gets his super hot teacher pregnant in an inappropriate relationship.

So it just it's he grows up to be like, you know, sort of like a misfit at Andy Sandberg's kid. It's really funny. It's like a dumb, funny Sandler movie.

Again, we interviewed Andy Sandberg for that movie when that movie came out. Yeah, I remember, and because I remember the premise when you when you talk about it, but I've never seen it.

Maybe I want to tonight if you need a pale you want to if you want to throw it back on a way back Wednesday, and you need something about this.

If their team sickens you tonight, like the Yankees sicken me, right, Yankees can't even beat the weak ass Reds. Give me a break. Elie de la Cruz strutting into third, moon walks into third, jog's into third, hitting triples like it's his job.

It kind of is.

But when your team disgusts you and you need a palette cleanse, don't watch that new Zach Effron movie watch Yeah, because his abs will sicken you. Watch That's My Boy on Netflix, starring the great Dan Patrick.

Don't worry if Elie de la Cruz does it hit a triple, He'll get to third base by just easily stealing two bases anyway.

By the way, you know how anything Aaron Judge hits he destroys. Yeah, yep, every time Ellie de la Cruz gets on base, it's like a double turns it into a triple somehow. That dude is just too fast for baseball. It's crazy to see. It's like a whole different level when you watch it live. The same thing with Aaron Judge. Ellie de la Cruz is just so electrics. It's ridiculous. Should be a household name, just on how electric this guy is. It's just that he's getting lost in Cincinnati right now.

Yeah. No, I watch a clip the other day that it's quintessential Ellie da light cruise. Even though his career is young. It was one of those you know, beat out in a field, single stall, second stall, third, Stoll home and I'm.

Like, what within a minute, in a total of a minute, he pulled the little league move in the big leagues. So when your team upsets you because the Yankees again lost to the Reds yesterday, the Yankees fan, you know, watch something fun tonight like that.

There you go.

I'm a little envious of Dan Patrick's acting career, to be honest, not that I want to be an actor, but those are some fun movies. He's a part of.

Listen. That's why sometimes we never want to take for granted and we want to let we want to let you know the DP audience that yo, it's an honor room. Were fill in for Dan. We're big fans, just like you guys are and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, I want to jump off the show with a story about Klay Thompson because I feel like this is one of those things that Kavino and I disagree on and when we disagree, it could get heated, it could get fun. But I'm just I'm always fascinated by Kavino's takes.

I think we're gonna agree and disagree, not to what are down the expectation here.

We're feeling it for Dan Patrick step it up. He's an actor.

No, I know, I know. And the story involves Klay Thompson's dad, who, as you guys know or maybe not no, was an ex Laker. Okay, now Klay Thompson Golden State Warrior. I think he's going to his twelfth season, been in the league for a while, he's a veteran now at this point. Really stunk it up at the end of his last season. Danny g and I were talking about that in the kitchen. We're like, yo, he was really bad at the end of last year.

What happened? I mean, dude, Draymond Green seemed like he was crying about it. So maybe, you know, maybe maybe he has more guest left in the tank, because Draymond seemed like he was sort of bumped to see him go.

Draymond Green said he did shed a tier or two. Didn't try to talk him out of it, said, you know, I'm proud of you, bro, And he said it's never going to change what they accomplished or their friendship and relationship moving forward. But Klay Thompson decided to say goodbye to Draymond Green and Curry and the Golden State Warriors. He took a three year deal fifty million with the Mavericks. Now, Maverick, you may say why, or you may say, hey, look, they all got what they got four right, they all got four each, Clay, Draymond, Steph, they got four wins. He's closer than all all of them now by making this move, which again, if you look to last year he seemed to be ready to make, seemed like something was off, something was not right. He's closer to winning another championship and creating his own path in the legacy with the Mavericks. Look, you get one career for the most part, most people you know, especially in the NBA. Yeah, so if he could win another one with that squad, he's closer with the Mavericks than he is with the Golden State Warriors. At least at this time, he's closer than Draymond and Steph. So it's a decision he made. He seems comfortable and confident with it. I'm sure it's not easy. That's a big decision to make, especially when you're synonymous with one team and winning like that and those other players splash brothers. I mean, that's tough. It's tough to move on and say goodbye, and all you want in that moment is probably probably the support of your close friends and family. He had the support of his teammates, who were said to see him go, and the story is that his dad was extremely disappointed that he chose the Mavericks over the Lakers.

We listen, You're so right about the rarity of a guy sticking with a team. We just can't get used to that, because you know, you grew up and there were guys that were franchise dudes. You played on one team your whole careers. That is old news, that's a thing of the past. Yesterday, we argued about yadi Air Molina later in the show, and I was talking to my wife about it, and you know, like I said, her family's Cardinals fans. I'm like, yeah, he played almost twenty years just for the Cardinals. That doesn't happen in any sport anymore. And when you look at Clay, it's time to move on and here's the headline. Like you said, Clay Thompson, his dad was disappointed that he picked the Mavericks over the Lake. I'm not feeling in a very congratulatory mood right now. Michael Thompson told Serious x NBA Radio he wanted his son to go where he played the Lakers. Now, Clay said, there's financial savings. The difference between living in Texas where I'm at right now and California was a big deal. Even when you're making millions, you do have to think about those things.

And you have to think about did he want to play with Lebron? Was that appetizing or enticing in any weird way? Or did he stay away because he didn't want to play quote unquote as we jokingly say for Lebron in La. Did that have something to do with it? Does La not have the pull it once had as a city as a franchise or did he really just see savings Dallas, chance to win, good squad, he could be an impactful player there. Like Either way, he did what was right for him, And now his dad is saying he's disappointed because he was praying. Talk about pressure his dad said he was praying every night that Clay ended his career where he played as a Laker.

I picture your mom, Cavino, I picture your mom being like Steve, and that's like something your mom would say, like I was praying for you, Steve, and like this dude's praying that in some place for the team he played for. I'm really disappointed. So hey, let me post the question. We'll take your feedback at eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox. Cavino on Rich and for the actor Dan Patrick, the actor I forgot how much of a resume he had. Here's the question. When you make decisions in life, your wife or husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, job, location, what house you buy, Like how much do you run these things by your folks? Is that something you do? Is it something that you say really like? I'll give you one example again and then we'll take your feedback here on Fox Sports Radio. When you buy a new car, I feel like you were shocked when I told you, Oh yeah, I think recently I said, oh, I forgot to tell my dad I bought a new car. And you're like, you didn't tell them?

How does that not come up?

So the decisions in life, what do you run by your parents as a grownup. We'll take your feedback. Next your buds, Cavin on rich In for Dan Patrick right here on Fox Sports Radio.

But Klay Thompson right now. As you know, Michael Thompson, his dad, longtime color commentator for the Lakers, played for the Showtime Late from eighty seven to ninety one, won two NBA championships in that span. Michael Thompson for the most part, is a Laker, right, I mean, he's known for being a Lakers. So he's disappointed when Clay chooses the Mavericks. But now he's on serious x sim Our other stumping grounds are old stumping grounds, saying that he was really disappointed, as you can assess that he chose the Mavericks over the Lakers. He says it was close, came down to the Lakers and the MAVs. With the MAVs went out, you know him, he was hoping and praying he'd finish his career where he played with the Lakers. And I feel like that's a lot of pressure for a parent to put on a kid. He does say in the same breath, he's a grown man, thirty four years of age, just like we were thirty four at one time, and our fathers used to give us advice, and you know, we would choose our own path and that's fine. That's what life is supposed to be. So he's saying in one breath, look, yeah, he's a veteran. He's played in the league as his twelfth season or whatever, over ten years, thirty four years old. He's is old man makes his own decisions. But I'm really disappointed he didn't listen to me and finish out with the Lakers. I'm sure Klay Thompson had a bunch of reasons as to why he chose the Mavericks, So maybe he's not even just letting us know.

About If I can jump in as the Lakers fan on the show The Lakers honestly, Yeah, they need some players to sign, not Klay Thompson though he's a shooter and he wasn't doing that very well at the end of last season. But yeah, he might still have something left in the tank, especially with you know, a new team. The Lakers need size. They were looking for help at center.

I think they need size in youth too.

No youth as well.

Well, they got that in the draft obviously with Connect true and he's a shooter. They need size so that Ad can play more power forward. So I think Laker fans have been looking at that as well as a youth movement.

Yeah, Lakers could use Like you said, they got Connect, but if they got Clay, and Clay was sort of back to a little bit of the old Clay and a big man. If they got one more shooter and a big man, then the Lakers are talking about competing. If he asked me, and right now I'm reading more of the quotes from Michael Thompson Covino, he said, listen, I tried to sell them on the Lakers. Obviously. I tried to sell it. Obviously, the right thing for me to do is to try to bring him to LA. I felt like It was the correct thing for me because I really believe in the franchise. The franchise has been so good to me and my family, including Clay. He grew up a Lakers fan, idolizing Kobe, so he rarely laid it on thick. So I ask you, big decisions in your life, little decisions in your life, how much do you care or I guess you would say take your parents' words into consideration if you're naming your kid, if you're buying a house, if you're dating someone new. Like, I have a question. Do you think most people tell their parents before they get engaged? Like, yeah, Dad, I'm gonna pop the question.

Well, look, I'm saying yes, But I am the same guy that called my dad in the middle of the night to tell to tell him I got married in Vegas. He's like, you what, And I'm like, just let mom know. I know she's going to be extremely disappointed, though, but they had seen, they had met her. Yeah, I was already dad, but I didn't tell them. I just did it right. But I do think that your parents deserve that respect. I'm not saying you need to listen to what they say or do what they say, but you should factor in their opinions. They've lived it, they've done it, they have experience in life. They're your parents now. Rich and I Here's why I said, we're going to agree and disagree. I think we both agree that Michael Thompson put a lot of pressure on Klay Thompson, the fact that he's coming out publicly saying he's really disappointed in the son's decision, which wasn't a hard one. I mean, which was a hard one to make. I don't know that rubs me a weird way. I do respect Michael Thompson's honesty here, but I think all his son wants is some support. So I think you and I agree on this whole. Michael Thompson's reaction to Klay Thompson. That's a little oof, right. Oh yeah, we agree there. But I think where we disagree, and this is where we take your phone calls at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Where we disagree is Rich doesn't run anything by his folks. Rich has this attitude of he's his own man, who cares. He's not a little boy anymore. And call me a man boy, call me a mama's boy. Another Sandler film. Oh, yeah, Mom, a whole not as grandma's boy. Call me grandma's boy.

I don't care.

Yeah, every decision you mentioned before was a major life decision, or like a big decision. I'm not calling my mom at the grocery sto or should I get cocoa or fruity pebbles. No, that's not it. But you talked about, you know, before you get married, before you purchase a home, before you name your child. You mentioned these are all big decisions. Why wouldn't you run it by You're not asking them for their permission, You're just running it by them. Discussing things. You're not always going to get the great feedback that you want. I remember my mom telling me I'm not I don't want to call anybody out, all right, fine, I will. I remember calling them out. Hey, Mom, I'm thinking about naming my daughter Ava. At the time. I don't know, maybe that was a hot name. Ava.

She was like.

Ava, that's an ugly person's name, and she was more she was more playton than that dude. She went off, that's the worst name ever. I'm like, jeez, man, I probably should have kept it myself, because now she ruined it and I ended up not naming my daughter everybody because she ruined it for me, and I chose Melody. And after that, I didn't tell her because I'm like, you know what, I'm not even gonna tell her what I would name my kid because she's gonna ruin it for me and I'm just gonna do my own thing. And I named her Melody as a result. So I get the fact. I get the idea of making your own decisions. What I don't get is how you don't run some of these things by your parents just in conversation if you're lucky enough to still have them around, because I bet you anything, people who don't have their parents around would give everything they have just to have that one conversation about those major life decisions. Hey, I'm thinking about getting a divorce. Hey, I'm thinking about, like I said, even getting a new car. Those are just things you run by your parents because they're your parents. And rich does not vibe into that at all. And what age did that stop?

Though?

Did I did it ever start?

I think from I don't know about you, Kabino, I felt like once I was out of college and working, as much as I I respect my parents, and I talked to my dad a couple of times a week. You know, I have a great relationship with my dad.

In a way, Rich, I don't know how much you do. You buy a new car and you forget to tell your dad. On my way home, my family probably the top people. I'm calling Yo, Yeah, sweet new ride.

Oh yeah.

It kind of deals to get. I would even call my dad maybe before I signed the deal, like, here's the deal, sound good to you? Not that again, I'm not asking permission. It's just like the run by I'm saying, but it's because I need a co sign it.

Yo.

And again Rich Rich always paints me out to be like that's baby boy mentality, and guys you might agree, but Rich is like, nah, man, I don't. I just do my own thing.

A great example would be the uh the famous hawk to a girl. Canino's first thought was huh what would her parents think? And my first thought is never what would my mom or dad think? Respect I don't live my life with the thought in the back of my head what would gregor Marianne think? I just don't. I love them, but I don't make decisions ever based on what they would think. Is I'll be honest, I think for all the good advice they've given me, I think they've given me equally bad advice at times, because I think, as Clay chose Dallas because that was right for him, his dad can't see that path. A great example would be when my wife and I were looking for houses, my dad tried to discourage me.

You're not asking for permission, You're just you're just running.

It by him.

So what's your relationship all surface about? What picks you're gonna make this weekend? When it comes to gambling, Like, there's no real conversation. What do you talk to your mom about the weather? You don't you ever bring up anything important?

I mean I do talk a lot about my gambling picks with my dad.

Again, and I'm not criticizing anyboy's relationship, but I think it all comes down to the type of relationship you have with you, your parents or family, whoever this may be. And that's gonna be different for everybody. And I do get that. But I'm not the weird guy as you painted out all the time for running those things by my parents. You're still there, there, You're still there, offspring.

But what about what if? Again? What if you are more risky than your parents or you guys have different ideologies. My example I was gonna give was when my wife and I were looking for houses. My dad was like adamant about like, oh, I would not buy a house that you have to renovate and redo them. Like yeah, Dad, but I think, like we're getting this price and if we put this much money into it. We've talked about it, but he was like, I want to do it, and it ended up being like one of my best decisions. I, you know, moving to La I don't know if I would do that. I bought an investment property in Colorado. I remember my dad being like, oh, terrible idea and like and ended up being a good idea. Like so some times, when let's say you're a riskier person, I don't know, I just feel like sometimes like uh, I'm I'm on the side of clay here where it's like for you man, I.

Think Rich runs stuff behast his parents after he's already made the decision.

After yeah, after, but like again, like just something simple like the car. Rich was talking about his new car and he's like, oh, I I didn't even tell my dad I got a new car. I'm like that's a major purchase. Dude, It's not like you bought a pair of jeans. You know, you don't got to run those things by your parents. And again, it's not permission. Rich always paints it out like you're asking permission. No one's asking permission. I never call up my dad like, hey, Dad, you think I should lease or or no. I would actually say, hey, here's the least, here's the here's the finance. What do you what do you think? It doesn't mean I'm gonna do what they think, but I do run it by them just to see because maybe there's a comforting answer there that backs up my my decisions. Rich, who's the first person you called after you got the dup Scott our boss? Because he's he kisses ass. That's why get at that's something my dad, my dad, that's a dad thing.

You know, he's kissing as whys? But you know what a great example again, these are these These are all times where someone would maybe talk to a family member or close friend. But the story goes back to Clay. His dad said he's disappointed he chose Dallas over the Lakers.

But Comino, Honestly, I think Clay's dad needs to chill with that. And I say that respectfully because this is dad. But when you make a life changing, tough decision the way Clay did, all you want is support, and you want that from your parents, the people closest to you.

You don't want your dad publicly out there.

Saying that you potentially made a decision he's not happy about. You don't want even if he is. Clay's dad has every right to feel every way he does, but you keep that to yourself. Just for your kid, for your kid, and just pray for the best. At that point, you're not praying for your kid to play for the Lakers. You're praying for whatever decision he makes. That's a selfish way to me, to be honest, his dad was just being selfish, you know. If we're being real about it and right, not righteous right about it, you know he should be now praying that his son made the best decision for him, not that he's a Laker. Look, you know who handle this well, Shaquille O'Neill. To my knowledge, when you think of college, you think of Shaquille O'Neill. Lsu right, Yeah, yeah, baby, And my daughter she had a big choice to make. Well, she gonna play for LSU of Florida.

And she chose Florida.

And I remember seeing a story like I was thinking, man Shackson, Toby, I wasn't disappointed. I'm happy for my daughter. He was extremely happy. Never even mentioned once that ah, he really wanted her to, you know, follow in her dad's footsteps. He was proud that she was choosing whatever was right for her, even though it might sting a little bit.

Well, your thoughts, your feedback, we'll take it next. Cavino and rich In for the Great Dan Patrick right here live from the Mercedes Benz Studios on Fox Sports Radio.

We're playing a game Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player eight seven seven ninety nine. On Fox. Is the number if you want to play later, if you want to call and chime in. Now, we're live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis. We're talking about Rich and I both agree Michael Thompson's dad maybe was a little too honest in his disappointment that his son shows the Mavericks over the Lakers. But where we disagree is on the fact that it's okay to run things by your parents at any age.

I didn't say it was wrong.

I just say that it's one time I bring up something like that, like just recently. I just thought of two examples. Recently, we discussed family vacations because quarterback Zach Wilson went on a family vacation with his young girlfriend. She was wearing a skimpy bikini. I said, hey, no, fiance, that's right, congratulations to them. Got engaged. Over the weekend, we debated, no, no, no, Here's what I said. I said, Look, she looks great, and there's a time and place for everything. That's fine, But how do you feel if your wife or fiance, your girlfriend was wearing a thong bikini in front of your family, your parents on a family vacation, right. Look, if you're on your own getaway, fine, but in front of family and parents and we're just.

Like, what do I care what my parents think? Oh? My own man, fee.

And only they're your parents, right, And then I'll lift that you just get and then I'll say things like only fans, like, I mean, come on, dude, would you.

Start an only fans page? Yeah?

Why not?

I don't know what would your family think? What would your parents say?

Man?

You care about your parents way too much? You see this, I do my own thing, fee. Well yeah, listen, First of all, I'm not starting only fans, but if I wanted to.

Fans, I thought you're opening your toes only page. I mean, I do have great feet, But if.

I if I were to do it, guess what I want to care about? My dad's thoughts on more weird.

Even though you're a grown adult, that's still your dad and your I don't care attitude is more weird to me than you make me out to be. For saying no, it's just respect and out of respect and you're just running it by them and you're just talking to them because they're your parents. I don't think your dad, how do you how would you feel if you were the last to know when your daughter grows up that she enrolled into some college, that she bought a new car, that she did something major and you didn't even know about it. No, it's different when I'm the dad.

But I don't dad. I want my kids to tell me everything. Well, there you go, so.

I have their hold on clear. Rich doesn't mind if his dad sees his wife in the throng. He doesn't care at all because he doesn't mind.

He doesn't care. I do what you want, Joe, come over for a barbecue cookout. Let's do it, you know, let's uh, let's take your feedback. Let's go to the phones. Cavino, rich In for DP. Who do we got, Steve?

Who we got Danny g Let's start with John in LA. Wants to talk to you guys about Clay.

All right, John in La, what do you think about Clay Thompson? The whole father thing is decision? What's up?

Man? Yeah, it's a shame that, uh that Clay is not a Laker. But the reason why he's not a Lakers because he despises JJ. Ready, because no one's talking about it. The media is not talking about the main point that the Warriors and the Clippers had like a crazy rivalry for a long time, and JJ Reddick was jj Rick was like Brayson Allen. Would anyone want to play Brayson Allen once once? That dirty player you know is done in the league. Uh No, So he chose Jason Kidd over JJ Redick. It's very simple.

I'll tell you this, man, I Danny g I'm sure you have thoughts on that as a Lakers fan, but I did insinuate that there has to be more stirring this kool aid that meets the eye.

You like that one.

There has to be more that meets the eye, because you should coin that everything was leaning towards Lakers. Grew up a Lakers fan. Dad was a Laker color commentators. Dad's pushing the Lakers, praying for the Lakers, and he and it's the Lakers, and it's La and he chooses the Mavericks. There's got to be more to it, in my opinion, So I think there's truth. Some I don't know what the truth is to what he's saying there.

I also think more teams would have been salivating over the prospect of getting the signing and trading for Clay.

A sign and trade.

If he had finished last season really strong, if he had gone, you know, nine for twelve from the three point line to end the season instead of that big zero, then I think this would be a whole different story. Right now, I don't feel like teams were necessarily lining up.

I think we're not realizing that Klay Thompson is a huge Shark Tank fan, huge Shark Tank fan, just loves Mark Cuban so much.

It's like, what what does mister wonderful have to do with this? Maybe I don't know. I think there's something going on. Maybe it's a Lebron thing. Maybe it's Reddick. Maybe I don't know. Maybe he's like, I'm not doing what my dad told me to do. Maybe he's a defiant kid. Anyway, your thoughts, your parents, do they matter when you make big decisions. We're gonna talk fireworks and more Cavino and Rich and for Dan Patrick
