Speaker 3: Craging everybody. Welcome back.
Speaker 4: It's Petros and Money Live with Don McClain on this
Speaker 4: beautiful crunchy Groove on Thursday the Sun poking through after
Speaker 4: the Rain on a seventy LA Arts. You know the
Speaker 4: other day I went on with I do the five
Speaker 4: am Morning Thing on Wednesdays on Fox Sports Radio. Travis
Speaker 4: Clay Travis for about seven years. Clay Travis has been
Speaker 4: in Rush Limbaugh's spot five years. Limbaugh died about five years,
Speaker 4: so Clay Travis it's been five years, so it's the
Speaker 4: same time slot and that is what I started doing,
Speaker 4: was Klay Travis's show. But I've been grandfathered in as
Speaker 4: the Wednesday guest at the same time with LeVar Arrington,
Speaker 4: Jonas Knox, our friend, and Brady Quinn every Wednesday. And
Speaker 4: what they asked me about this week it's a national show,
Speaker 4: was La Rain and or as we call it here
Speaker 4: Lo Rain. And it is kind of interesting the way
Speaker 4: the news freaks out about the rain in La and
Speaker 4: different things like that. I don't remember local news going
Speaker 4: this nuts about it. I was younger, but I do remember.
Speaker 4: I don't know when it happened, but I don't remember
Speaker 4: the rain being a thing when we like, no one
Speaker 4: said I can't come in it's raining. No one said, yeah,
Speaker 4: oh that's gonna be bad because it's raining. I mean
Speaker 4: it was everybody knew. You just had to go about
Speaker 4: doing whatever it is you were supposed to do, unless
Speaker 4: you were like a baseball player or it was something
Speaker 4: outdoors that could be rained out. Like they wouldn't rain
Speaker 4: out our football workouts unless we we're gonna screw up
Speaker 4: the field and we had a spring game or something
Speaker 4: coming up. Then they'd bring us in the gym so
Speaker 4: we could barf on the floor in the gym, but
Speaker 4: no one And I remember when it happened. You remember
Speaker 4: Intern Nate, the guy that asked you what kind of
Speaker 4: dip you throw? And you said, poke kope and then
Speaker 4: just let him hang and he just stood there in
Speaker 4: the corner for forty seconds because you only gave him
Speaker 4: a one word answer.
Speaker 2: Is he still in the corner like Lonzo Ball?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's actually married, I believe to an Asian woman.
Speaker 4: But Intern Nate, that was the first I've ever heard
Speaker 4: of it. And that must have been I don't know,
Speaker 4: twenty twelve, maybe maybe longer than five years into the show.
Speaker 4: He didn't show up for work one day. He wasn't
Speaker 4: coming because we used to get interns and we used
Speaker 4: to work them and they used to do stuff and
Speaker 4: it was helpful, and he was like, can't come in today.
Speaker 3: We're like why.
Speaker 4: He's like the rain and we were like, well, did
Speaker 4: your car get flooded out? Did your is the area
Speaker 4: you live in? Is there a flash flood?
Speaker 3: Did? What do you mean? The rain?
Speaker 4: But that's that became the norm, and it is just
Speaker 4: kind of an interesting thing because it used to be.
Speaker 4: If I had to drive to work and it was raining,
Speaker 4: it was like, damn everybody, you know, it's going to
Speaker 4: be problems and all this. But now there's no one
Speaker 4: on the roads. Everybody stays home like a bitch. Your
Speaker 4: thoughts done well.
Speaker 2: I think COVID has even made it more easier to
Speaker 2: say I'm not coming in. I think technology too, you
Speaker 2: can work from home a lot easier than used to
Speaker 2: be able to. But yeah, I don't I don't understand
Speaker 2: it either, and I don't know exactly when it started.
Speaker 2: But I agree with you that rain is more of
Speaker 2: a thing than it ever used to be.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a thing in other places because
Speaker 4: it's a thing all the time and they just have
Speaker 4: to live with it. And out here in La we
Speaker 4: used to pretend like we were Midwesterners or something and
Speaker 4: just act like we could live with it. But now
Speaker 4: we've become so soft that we can't even act like
Speaker 4: we live with it.
Speaker 3: We have to act like a bitch top to bottom.
Speaker 3: And I guess it makes sense. We are pretty I.
Speaker 2: Thought about not coming in today because it was rainy.
Speaker 4: Well you know what, Actually I did want to say this,
Speaker 4: Kates did say no way, don't. I want to say
Speaker 4: Tim Kaid did Kates did say these shows?
Speaker 3: I'll cim baseball.
Speaker 5: Because everybody remember this, Petros?
Speaker 3: You you really said that, Tim, You really think God
Speaker 3: would knock you say? Do you think?
Speaker 5: It was raining pretty hard dawn at the time, so
Speaker 5: what it was coming down and Petros was driving up
Speaker 5: from the hill and I was like, Man, I wonder
Speaker 5: if Don's going to a text ands say you can't
Speaker 5: come in because of the rain.
Speaker 2: You know what, Tim, I would give you permission, mister
Speaker 2: gun owner. If I ever called anybody and said, hey,
Speaker 2: I can't come in because it's raining, you can just
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 3: And shoot me.
Speaker 2: Literally if that, if those words ever come out of
Speaker 2: my mouth, it's over.
Speaker 3: I'm done. You might as well just finish me off.
Speaker 3: It is a different world, you know.
Speaker 4: I Mean, everybody's pretty shocked that we used to do
Speaker 4: the things that we did without the accouterment that we
Speaker 4: have today, like dry minding, touching yourself, you know, just
Speaker 4: using your dry mind, right, or maybe a magazine. I mean,
Speaker 4: I remember when DVD porn was like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: VHS VHS, but then you pause it too many times,
Speaker 4: the rewinder, the tracking gets all messed up. You know,
Speaker 4: all right, don I have a good story for you,
Speaker 4: Australian News. I don't have to dry mind this. We
Speaker 4: have audio Australian News. I love Australia. Actually I had
Speaker 4: a story about Australia on Monday. A guy was in
Speaker 4: an endurance.
Speaker 6: J It's Kip and this is Petros and money's Australian News.
Speaker 4: There's an endurance race and the car after like thirty
Speaker 4: it's like a twelve hour race and it's like two
Speaker 4: minutes in a guy hits a kangaroo. Kangaroo explodes everywhere,
Speaker 4: gore everything, wrecks the car done. That was our Australian
Speaker 4: story on Monday. This Australian story actually comes from Milan, Cortino,
Speaker 4: which is where they're doing the Winter Olympics, which you're
Speaker 4: so locked in on. And this is Australia Channel nine.
Speaker 4: Danika Mason a report that was drunk.
Speaker 6: Well, she wondernk the like the price of coffee over
Speaker 6: here is actually fine. It's more the price of coffee
Speaker 6: in the US that we are going to have to
Speaker 6: get used to. I'm not sure that the Iguanas, where
Speaker 6: are we going with that one? But anyway, the fact
Speaker 6: that we've got so many athletes who are willing to
Speaker 6: compete as well after her as well. She is just
Speaker 6: one of those athletes that you keep in their mind
Speaker 6: and you just look at them and go, what an inspiration?
Speaker 2: No, I agree, she has a lot.
Speaker 3: I agree with you completely.
Speaker 2: Dan, company that ain't want drink that right there is
Speaker 2: and I say, Brook, it's time for bed.
Speaker 4: That's when you grabbed like the upper arm party a
Speaker 4: wife like, all right, time for bed. All right, we'll
Speaker 4: eaven h now look full disclosure. I had lunch with
Speaker 4: Mark Usker from outside the studio today at the Smokehouse
Speaker 4: down the street.
Speaker 2: Nice the rules actually invite right down.
Speaker 3: He invited me to lunch.
Speaker 4: He invited me to lunch, Chad, I had some I'll
Speaker 4: take you guys to lunch if you guys want to
Speaker 4: go next week.
Speaker 3: I want to go today. Well, if you want to
Speaker 3: go next week, I'll take it. I won't be hungry
Speaker 3: next week. All right, Well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I had lunch today with Mark Cusker from outside the
Speaker 4: studio and he ordered a course light in a bottle,
Speaker 4: as he's happt to do, so I ordered a bloody
Speaker 4: Mary Now we're not in altitude, but I had a
Speaker 4: drink today and.
Speaker 2: We have live action of you.
Speaker 6: Literally like the prize of coffee over here is actually
Speaker 6: fun and.
Speaker 3: That's how I talk. Let's listen to her. That's such
Speaker 3: a lie.
Speaker 6: It's more than copy in the US that we are
Speaker 6: going to have to get used to.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that where are you going with that one?
Speaker 6: But anyway, the fact that we've got so many athletes
Speaker 6: who are willing to compete as well after her as well,
Speaker 6: she is just one of those athletes that you keep
Speaker 6: in their mind and you just look at them and go,
Speaker 6: what an inspiration?
Speaker 2: Just remember this, don just remember this. She apologized, but
Speaker 2: she'll be without a job. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: It's okay to get her, but should we hear her apology?
Speaker 2: Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 6: So just to apologize. Look, I totally misjudged a situation.
Speaker 6: I shouldn't have had a drink, and especially in these games.
Speaker 2: The drink it's cold, We've got a lot it's cold.
Speaker 6: Probably didn't help us altitude, but I want to take
Speaker 6: full responsibility. It's not the standard that I set for myself.
Speaker 2: Listen to that, and then listen to the the report
Speaker 2: that you did.
Speaker 3: No, I agree, she has a lot.
Speaker 6: Literally be like the price of coffee over here is actually.
Speaker 3: Five seven drinks. No, it is not.
Speaker 4: No, it's one drink with altitude and no dinner. You hurt,
Speaker 4: and it's cold, get out of here. It's four factors.
Speaker 2: What if she weighed forty pounds.
Speaker 4: She said cold altitude, no dinner, one drink, and then
Speaker 4: she says no excuses.
Speaker 6: To take a moment, if that's okay, just to apologize. Look,
Speaker 6: I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink,
Speaker 6: and especially in these conditions it's cold, you've got our
Speaker 6: streed and not having had dinner probably didn't help very well.
Speaker 2: That's a salad. It's not that cold in five Savignon
Speaker 2: blounts Savignon Blount. He's in Italy.
Speaker 3: Okay, keyanti whatever, But I like that.
Speaker 4: After she said all of that, she said no excuses.
Speaker 4: She says, cold altitude, one drink, no dinner, no excuses.
Speaker 6: But I want to take four responsibility responsibilities. It's not
Speaker 6: the standard that I set for myself.
Speaker 2: When she gets back from a launch, she will be
Speaker 2: looking for work.
Speaker 4: That no way, dude, I think She's going to be
Speaker 4: even more popular than ever. Come on, there's no journalistic
Speaker 4: standards anymore. Look at the people we put on TV.
Speaker 3: Who cares?
Speaker 2: She'll have a podcast that'll be your next move. No
Speaker 2: more live TV for her drinking with Dan.
Speaker 3: Here's my number, number of the day. Number the DP
Speaker 3: is ten.
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Michael Irvin posted a video with his
Speaker 2: thoughts on the recent Super Bowl in San Francisco Santa Clara.
Speaker 2: Game itself was in Santa Clara. Uh, all the festivities
Speaker 2: were in San Francisco. You know, cal McLean lives up
Speaker 2: there now, so he saw all those people and all
Speaker 2: those things going down up there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Did he go to any Super Bowl parties
Speaker 3: or anything? I think he did, not like the famous
Speaker 3: people ones, but I think.
Speaker 4: He went to the denim and diamonds. Rob Gronkowski, gaylah.
Speaker 2: Michael Irvin and his rant used the word phrase or
Speaker 2: the word or phrase blah at least ten times in
Speaker 2: his description. Class it sucks. Well everything was in San
Speaker 2: Francisco though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but all right, honestly, this is a horrible super Bowl.
Speaker 7: They don't they should never, ever, ever, ever bring the
Speaker 7: Super Bowl back to San Francisco.
Speaker 3: I agree, I'm sorry, full agreements.
Speaker 8: City.
Speaker 9: This is and all the years of going to a
Speaker 9: super Bowl, this was the worst.
Speaker 3: This this this seems so like.
Speaker 4: Blah.
Speaker 9: It was blah in the city, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: It was just it just wasn't jumping like you see
Speaker 9: his super Bowl was jumping.
Speaker 3: It was blood the people blah blah.
Speaker 9: The buildings out here looks blah. You know, when you
Speaker 9: go and you're going to events, it's like blah.
Speaker 8: I'm thinking, it's so much money out here because the
Speaker 8: techis out.
Speaker 9: Here, right, but it all looks so bla blah blah
Speaker 9: blah blah blah.
Speaker 8: And I didn't want to dampen anybody thought to hope
Speaker 8: about a super Bowl during the Super Bowl, so I said,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna wait. But I couldn't wait until this moment
Speaker 8: came to tell you, damn, it's this. I believe I
Speaker 8: warned of this.
Speaker 4: I warned of this. What I said it was gonna suck.
Speaker 4: You know, you can't control if the game sucks, and
Speaker 4: if the game is great, it overshadows all the other
Speaker 4: stuff that is blah. As Michael Irvan just said, but
Speaker 4: he's absolutely right. That is a terrible stadium. That is
Speaker 4: a great example. That is the number one example, and
Speaker 4: Sofi is number two. That just because something's new does
Speaker 4: not mean it's cool. And the Santa Clair vibe is blah.
Speaker 4: And if you're looking for excitement in the Silicon Valley,
Speaker 4: you better get in the car and drive because you
Speaker 4: ain't gonna find it there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Ronnie, this is the song of the day.
Speaker 10: Today's song of the Day is brought to you by
Speaker 10: Gladys Knight and the Pips with a tune called Friendship
Speaker 10: Train from the year nineteen sixty nine, A crunchy groove
Speaker 10: with plenty of soul for your Thursday afternoon. On the
Speaker 10: Petros and Money Show, were Best Friend. Don McLean has
Speaker 10: hopped on the Friendship Train for three and a half
Speaker 10: hours of great sports talk Filly in for Matt Smith,
Speaker 10: who's on tour What.
Speaker 3: Tour?
Speaker 11: Flying Squirrel Indeed, and the NBA is back as the
Speaker 11: Clippers begin the second half of their season with the
Speaker 11: Denver Nuggets and into a dome where Adam Oslin will
Speaker 11: be with that.
Speaker 10: Clippers countdown show coming up at six point.
Speaker 9: Thirty day, Hey.
Speaker 4: You, Ronny, six thirty tonight Clippers versus Nuggets we'll get
Speaker 4: some of Dog's thoughts on the NBA as they enter
Speaker 4: their second half half.
Speaker 2: I am that I don't have to drive you into
Speaker 2: a dome anymore.
Speaker 4: It seemed like it wasn't a fun place for you
Speaker 4: to reach from Westlake, but into it is a new
Speaker 4: arena and it.
Speaker 3: Is well made. You have to admit that to this
Speaker 3: too bad. They can't really, you know, match it with
Speaker 3: the products on the court.
Speaker 4: And hey, we'll discuss it next.
Speaker 1: Petros Papadakis that money's this is petrosend money on demand.
Speaker 4: Hey Federson money on m FI seventy LA Sports. Happy
Speaker 4: to be with you today and every day for the
Speaker 4: world of great sports talk. Don McClain is here great
Speaker 4: sports Talk, a real.
Speaker 3: BFF for the show.
Speaker 4: You can see him on FS one on Saturday calling
Speaker 4: the USC organ gave. He did that USC Illinois game
Speaker 4: last night at Galen USC was serviced at a funeral
Speaker 4: pyre by the Balkan Five, The Kings of Champagne.
Speaker 3: You've been to Champagne, Orbana? No? OK, real nice.
Speaker 4: It's a great college town, it really is, especially for football.
Speaker 4: All right, Don, we got to do it. I know
Speaker 4: you don't want to talk about it. But we got
Speaker 4: to do it. The Clippers are back tonight. We have
Speaker 4: Clipper programming, and Kawhi went off in the All Star Game.
Speaker 4: He did and they have position to be. Like you said,
Speaker 4: somewhere in the middle, what do you think the rest
Speaker 4: of the season is going to look like for the
Speaker 4: La Clippers?
Speaker 2: Don Well, incorporating new players in getting used to playing
Speaker 2: without Harden is the biggest thing. And then zoo Brook
Speaker 2: Lopez is going to have to play more minutes. Mathn's
Speaker 2: a good player. Not sure if he'll eventually start or
Speaker 2: continue to come off the bench, But you know, what's
Speaker 2: the expectation now you made those trades, Basically.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get out of the plan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're they're solidly in the playing like I
Speaker 2: think they're five and a half games up on whoever's
Speaker 2: in eleventh place right now, So it looks like unless
Speaker 2: it completely falls apart, they're gonna be at minimum in
Speaker 2: the play it. So it'll be interesting to see moving
Speaker 2: forward what the Clippers do. I don't think this year
Speaker 2: means that much. It's I don't believe that they can
Speaker 2: get hot at the end and make a run in
Speaker 2: the playoffs, especially since they got rid of those two guys.
Speaker 2: So really it's about looking ahead to the offseason and
Speaker 2: what moves they make in constructing this roster for what
Speaker 2: it's going to look like next year.
Speaker 4: So the Lakers situation is different, although they are also
Speaker 4: kind of in the middle, but more of the middle
Speaker 4: top as opposed to the middle bottom like the Clippers.
Speaker 4: But I made this analogy with James Worthy the other day,
Speaker 4: and James works for the team, but he did answer
Speaker 4: it like he understood what I was saying. And Dawn,
Speaker 4: you often refer to now that you are an empty
Speaker 4: esther of sorts. Your boys they don't live on the
Speaker 4: McClain compound in Wesley. It's you and the dogs and
Speaker 4: Brooke mclan's it. And sometimes she's talking like that Canadian reporter.
Speaker 4: And you got to say, but you often talk about that.
Speaker 4: And the situation with Lebron now where every time he
Speaker 4: calls a press conference, there's and why is he calling
Speaker 4: a press conference just to tell everybody that he wants
Speaker 4: to live his life? That's a pretty baseline thing for
Speaker 4: all of us. Lebron, thanks for getting us all out
Speaker 4: here to tell us that, right, But every time he
Speaker 4: calls a press conference, like he did one for Hennessy
Speaker 4: earlier in the year and everybody thought, oh, my god,
Speaker 4: he's gonna announce this. O my god, he's gona announce that.
Speaker 4: You have all the insider types saying it's over with
Speaker 4: the Lakers. They're ready to move on. He's ready to
Speaker 4: move on. Isn't it kind of like the last few
Speaker 4: months of your kids still being in your house and
Speaker 4: your wife's thinking about what to do with that room
Speaker 4: and to make it like a like a workout room
Speaker 4: or an office or something like that. It feels like
Speaker 4: the Lakers want to plan for the future, but they
Speaker 4: can't because they have this albatross around their neck and
Speaker 4: they have to navigate.
Speaker 3: It very gently on the way out.
Speaker 4: I know he's do Braun, he could do whatever he wants,
Speaker 4: but it doesn't makes it pretty awkward for everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess from a media standpoint, I would
Speaker 2: say this though, if they could ever figure it out
Speaker 2: defensively and somehow figure out a way to be consistent defensively,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they can win the whole thing, but
Speaker 2: if they get everybody back healthy, I think they're a
Speaker 2: competitive playoff team. They're solidly in the playoffs, not to
Speaker 2: play in the playoffs, and so I think everyone's kind
Speaker 2: of waiting if they can get fully healthy, what it's
Speaker 2: going to look like coming down the home stretch. But
Speaker 2: I agree, I understand what you're saying, and there may
Speaker 2: have already been internal discussions that hey, this is gonna
Speaker 2: be my last year with the Lakers, but they're not
Speaker 2: going to announce that when you have a team that
Speaker 2: can compete in the playoffs. JJ Reddick's a competitive dude,
Speaker 2: like they want to make a run this year. I
Speaker 2: think they'll there will be more more clarity on the
Speaker 2: Lebron situation after the season, But I don't think in
Speaker 2: that locker room they're they're they're having conversations about Lebron
Speaker 2: and when he's leaving or is he coming back, or
Speaker 2: is this his last year. I don't I don't think
Speaker 2: that's going on. I think that's the media and how
Speaker 2: much attention Lebron gets in general. But they have a
Speaker 2: good enough team to where it's not like the season's over.
Speaker 2: You know where they're not going anywhere. Everyone knows it.
Speaker 2: Lebron's still here. What about next year? I mean, I think,
Speaker 2: and I'm not in that locker room. But I would
Speaker 2: say I would say they're pretty pretty much still in
Speaker 2: the present only because they have a good enough team
Speaker 2: to compete in the playoffs, So they're not quite living
Speaker 2: in pera. I think so, at least from my perspective
Speaker 2: and what I see. If they could, it's a big could,
Speaker 2: you know, be consistent on the defensive end. They have
Speaker 2: enough offense to contend. It's just whether or not they
Speaker 2: can get stops in a seven game series. How many
Speaker 2: years did you work Clipper games? Was it eighteen something
Speaker 2: like that? Yeah, eighteen years or something. And I remember,
Speaker 2: I mean when the owner of the Clippers when you
Speaker 2: started working for the Clippers was of course Sterling, Donald Sterling.
Speaker 2: And then it went to Steve Balmer, who is and
Speaker 2: I know that this controversy thing is coming to a
Speaker 2: head apparently whatever. But Steve Balmer is kind of the
Speaker 2: Kawhi deal. Probably you wouldn't make it now, the Paul George,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't make it now, all those different things that
Speaker 2: have happened. But Steve Balmer, as far as.
Speaker 4: What he spends, the way he takes care of people,
Speaker 4: what he builds, I don't love the team president that
Speaker 4: he hired Gillian Zucker. I think she's terrible, but so
Speaker 4: on and so forth. Steve Balmer, other than that, is
Speaker 4: considered to be a really great owner. Yes, and when
Speaker 4: he took over the Clippers, it was like, wow, yeah,
Speaker 4: why do you see a Clipper's gonna take over? You know,
Speaker 4: it was like a whole thing. Anyways, you know, they
Speaker 4: built that the arena, and that's great and all that.
Speaker 4: The Lakers have a new owner and he's going in
Speaker 4: and systematically all these names that have been associated with
Speaker 4: the Lakers for all these years, Joey, Jesse, Tim Harris,
Speaker 4: you know, Polenka's next. They're gonna let Genie out of
Speaker 4: you know, they're gonna let Jeanie gracefully back off if
Speaker 4: she wants to.
Speaker 3: She's not gonna have any say in anything.
Speaker 4: It's over the Bus family with the Lakers, the legacy
Speaker 4: of the people they had around there, from Gary Vedy
Speaker 4: to the rambuses. I mean, it's all over. And if
Speaker 4: it's not over now, it's coming to an end for
Speaker 4: any of these people. How much is it gonna change?
Speaker 4: How much different are the Lakers gonna be? I mean,
Speaker 4: we saw what this guy did with the Dodgers, but
Speaker 4: the NBA is a different animal.
Speaker 3: They have a salary cap.
Speaker 4: How do you think it's gonna change Because with the Clippers,
Speaker 4: I don't think the ownership change really changed much of
Speaker 4: the perception of what the franchises.
Speaker 2: Is now because they didn't win. Like they went all
Speaker 2: in with the PG and the Kawhi. They thought that
Speaker 2: was going to be it, that was going to be
Speaker 2: the thing that gets them over the hump and gets
Speaker 2: them into the finals multiple times. It never materialized. So
Speaker 2: you can't change your narrative if you don't win. I
Speaker 2: think the Lakers brand is so strong and has been
Speaker 2: for so long that that won't change. The interesting part
Speaker 2: to me is, you know, you can go into the
Speaker 2: tax you can go into the aprons and spend money
Speaker 2: and it doubles and triples what you owe. And based
Speaker 2: on what Mark Walter has done with the Dodgers, I
Speaker 2: could see him doing it with the Lakers, you know,
Speaker 2: going spending way more than everybody else to build a
Speaker 2: team and get players here to win around Luca. So
Speaker 2: that part will be interesting, like how how they operate now,
Speaker 2: because you get the sense that for years the Lakers
Speaker 2: didn't do that because they were a family owned business.
Speaker 2: They didn't have as much money as some of these
Speaker 2: other owners in the NBA. Well now they do, and
Speaker 2: so we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 4: One thing that really stands out to me about Mark
Speaker 4: Walter and you, you know, were a young person in
Speaker 4: the early nineties like I was.
Speaker 3: Don He wears.
Speaker 4: His hat high on his head and he gets his
Speaker 4: hair up under the bill like a flume, like a
Speaker 4: you know, kind of like fanned out like ninety style. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so he wants you to see his hair coming out
Speaker 4: in the front.
Speaker 3: And he's got that hat riding real high.

Speaker 4: to fly off when he's running for a fly ball,
Speaker 4: to look like he's giving effort.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: Did you ever rock that style in the nineties with
Speaker 4: the hair under the hat and the hat riding real high.

Speaker 4: I still didn't even back there. I've never I don't
Speaker 4: know what.
Speaker 3: The move was.
Speaker 4: They would put the hair and then they'd spray paint
Speaker 4: the hair up against the bill up.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: For sure, I didn't do it, Okay, all right, because
Speaker 2: I can't remember if I wore if I tucked my
Speaker 2: hair back and then put the hat on or just
Speaker 2: put it on top.
Speaker 3: Think about it.
Speaker 2: I think I tucked my hair back. I don't think
Speaker 2: I ever let the hair come down.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: But again, didn't wear a lot of hat copy.

Speaker 4: not uh. I want to give you kudos for the
Speaker 4: worst airport knowledge ever. Lancing is the closest airport you
Speaker 4: can fly into the East Lansing.

Speaker 4: Don't raise your voice at me. I apologized. Hey Pee,
Speaker 4: I'm not the producer of great sports talk. But there
Speaker 4: is a dead beached whale. Oh yeah, great sports talk.
Speaker 3: There's a dead.
Speaker 4: Whale in Newport. Don really yeah, dead beats. It would
Speaker 4: be great to hear the old news report from when
Speaker 4: in the Great Northwest they blew up the beach whale
Speaker 4: in Oregon, especially to hear.
Speaker 3: Dawn spe pometry.
Speaker 12: The Oregon State Highway Division not only had a whale
Speaker 12: of a problem on its hands, he got a stinky
Speaker 12: whale of a problem.
Speaker 3: What to do with one forty five foot Tell me
Speaker 3: you've never heard this, I haven't dull.
Speaker 13: Eight ton whale dead on arrival on the beach near Florence.
Speaker 12: It had been so long since a whale had washed
Speaker 12: up in Lane County nobody could remember how to get
Speaker 12: rid of one. In selecting its battle plan, the Highway
Speaker 12: Division decided the carcass couldn't be buried because it might
Speaker 12: soon be uncovered. It couldn't be cut up and then
Speaker 12: buried because nobody wanted to cut it up, and.
Speaker 3: It couldn't be burned.
Speaker 12: So dynamite it was, some twenty cases or a half
Speaker 12: tun of it. The hope was that the long dead
Speaker 12: Pacific gray whale would be almost disintegrated by the blast,
Speaker 12: and that any small piece is still around after the
Speaker 12: explosion would be taken care of by seagulls and other scavengers. Indeed,
Speaker 12: the seagulls had been standing nearby all day.
Speaker 3: Was being made ready.
Speaker 12: We asked George Thornton, the highway engineer in charge of
Speaker 12: the project, for his final observation.
Speaker 13: Well, I'm confident that it'll work. The only thing is
Speaker 13: we're not sure. Just exactly how much explosives it'll take
Speaker 13: to disintegrate this thing. So the scavenger, seagulls and crabs
Speaker 13: and what knock can clean it up.
Speaker 12: Move back a quarter of a mile away. The sand
Speaker 12: dunes there were covered with spectators and land lubber newsmen
Speaker 12: shortly to become land blubber newsman with a blast blasted
Speaker 12: blubber beyond.
Speaker 3: All believable bound.
Speaker 12: Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast. The humor
Speaker 12: of the entire situation suddenly gave way to our run
Speaker 12: for survival, as huge chunks of whale blubber till everywhere.
Speaker 4: You know, we never thought of that. Nineteen seventy Lane County, Oregon.
Speaker 4: You can bring that up with sweet cheeks. Over Pino,
Speaker 4: they blew up a car like the biggest piecelet fell
Speaker 4: on a car and it exploded. Thank god it was
Speaker 4: in it. They'd be dead. We'll be back with more
Speaker 4: petros and money. I'm so glad Dawn had never heard that,
Speaker 4: and he spent a whole year in the Northwest. They
Speaker 4: do an exploding whale night for the Portland pails. You know,
Speaker 4: Florence isn't that far from Eugene. Yeah, they go explore
Speaker 4: the areas. They have a sign Exploding Whale Park and
Speaker 4: the Portland Pickles do an Exploding Whale Night every Soilier
Speaker 4: for the minor league teams.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, we'll be back with more. The more you know,
