Former footballer Eyal Berkovich engaged in a heated argument with his son Lior on their podcast "The Magician and His Sons." The dispute erupted when Lior repeatedly complained about various ailments, allergies, and skin issues. Berkovich, frustrated by his son's constant complaints, compared him unfavorably to his own grandmother Agi, who he said also frequently complained about feeling unwell.
Berkovich stated, "You remind me of my grandmother Agi. You know why? All the time he doesn't feel well. All the time he has allergies and shingles. You remind me of grandma, with the back and cupping therapy, like a 100-year-old woman. My butt hurts and my head hurts."
Lior retorted that his health problems were inherited, blaming his father for his genetic makeup. "You know why? I got bad genes. I wrote down all the data. I'm also short, I have allergies, and it's all because of you. Skin problems, you have psoriasis all over, me too. I got screwed. I'm going to be bald. I got a mouth, and a little charisma, that's my luck. Everything else is you and I blame only you. You will always be guilty," Lior said.
Berkovich dismissed his son's complaints as hypochondria, urging him to adopt a more positive outlook. He insisted that his son's issues were minor compared to older relatives, citing his 80-year-old grandfather Ze'ev and grandmother Miriam, who is in her 70s, as examples of people who don't complain despite their age and potential health problems. "What is this thing? Like some hypochondriac! I don't wake up once in the morning and something doesn't hurt him. What are you, 80 years old?" Berkovich exclaimed, adding, "I feel like stabbing your head already, leave me alone with these nonsense. Leave me alone."
Lior explained that his openness about his health on social media as a content creator was not indicative of negativity but rather a part of his online persona. "I've become a content creator, a real content creator. I tell everything. The fact that I complain doesn't mean I have bad energy," he stated.
