Speaker 3: your last quote, love of God? Is that always the
Speaker 3: same as love of good? Cogna Yukes, Petrosen Money in
Speaker 3: five to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 3: Dave Damn, the Scheck and I Solving the World's problems
Speaker 3: in our commercial breaks six minutes at a time.
Speaker 4: Solve this quiz for me very quickly. Who's gonna win
Speaker 4: the AFC West Broncos in control, the Chargers right behind them. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Chiefs a diar five and five, they do. The Chiefs
Speaker 4: do have a solid schedule ahead. It ain't a breeze.
Speaker 3: It's not a breeze, but it's home games are they're
Speaker 3: tougher games.
Speaker 4: Ad Dallas ain't a gimmey.
Speaker 3: I just it's it's crazy not to say the the
Speaker 3: Broncos because of how far ahead they are right now. Well,
Speaker 3: the Chiefs can't catch the Bronco. No, the Chargers have
Speaker 3: to win out. Oh look, if the Chargers went out,
Speaker 3: they win the division because they'll sweep the Broncos and
Speaker 3: there's no way they're not losing one more before they
Speaker 3: face the Chargers in Week eighteens can the Chargers went
Speaker 3: out with this offense on line's gonna be pretty tough
Speaker 3: how long till Alt's back not coming back out at all?
Speaker 3: Out for the year.
Speaker 4: I completely missed that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, out for the year. So that's rough. That's been
Speaker 3: a hit. But suspect they'll knock off the Raiders. The
Speaker 3: Eagles are an interesting one because they've struggled offensively. So
Speaker 3: can you get into a little dog fight with them
Speaker 3: and win by a field goal. And then after that,
Speaker 3: what do you do on a short week. You got
Speaker 3: to go to Kansas City, you know, because the schedule
Speaker 3: makers always do that to the Bolts. It's weird how
Speaker 3: it happens. They're always playing there on Thursday nights on
Speaker 3: short weeks.
Speaker 4: It is true, but you could drive the final stake
Speaker 4: into the dynasty ongoing.
Speaker 3: And Jesse Minner has been very good against Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 3: in his three games against him. He has done a
Speaker 3: pre bang up job against him defensively. How about this,
Speaker 3: Max Wan from the seven to one to four is
Speaker 3: our winner of the Grand Prize. He won Wednesday, so
Speaker 3: he has now got the Resorts World Las Vegas four
Speaker 3: pack at tickets to see the Raiders Broncos Grand Prize
Speaker 3: Prize on NFL week on PMS. Way to go Max.
Speaker 3: Check out Good Morning Football Overtime. It just ended on
Speaker 3: Fox eleven plus that's case. That's Channel thirteen here in town.
Speaker 3: So thank you to our friends over there Good Morning
Speaker 3: Football over time on Fox eleven plus four helping us
Speaker 3: out in the NFL all week with that fantastic week
Speaker 3: of prizes for the people. I'm gonna cough.
Speaker 4: I was wondering what was going on there? Go ahead,
Speaker 4: you want me to keep talking.
Speaker 3: I got so excited about our NFL prize.
Speaker 4: Got choked up. Good for you, you're a human being.
Speaker 5: Well, anytime macOS the Resorts World in Vegas, he gets
Speaker 5: very excited.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 3: I love it there, I absolutely love it.
Speaker 4: It's okay, where are your emotions on your sleeve? Friend?
Speaker 3: What did I I've got so much sports stuff that
Speaker 3: we did not get to because we were talking about anything.
Speaker 3: Whatever happens when when we get together, it's always a blast,
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to think of what do we got?
Speaker 6: We got two hours to go still, man, So I'm trying.
Speaker 3: To figure out where we should start here because I
Speaker 3: know we got Buha in the next segment, so we're
Speaker 3: going to cover the basketball there. So I've got all
Speaker 3: this stuff with my conspiracy college football. I do have
Speaker 3: some college football, do it? You went a little bit?
Speaker 7: Sure? All right?
Speaker 6: Here we go to sorry of it.
Speaker 4: Hi, By the way, is acc definitely gonna put a
Speaker 4: team in there.
Speaker 2: They have to.
Speaker 4: If they don't have to, they can reject a Power
Speaker 4: five champ if they see fit to do so.
Speaker 3: I think they'll put Miami in there.
Speaker 4: If Pitt sweeps Miami and Georgia Tech, which is not
Speaker 4: probable but possible, right, I don't think any team deserves
Speaker 4: to go out of that.
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty hard for the CFP to keep
Speaker 3: an ACC team out.
Speaker 4: Well, if you put yeah, sorry that you James Madison
Speaker 4: is better than you, right, is not probably gonna happen.
Speaker 3: And so we got elimination games this weekend. My pal
Speaker 3: Pammy is asking me to go to Cosm with them
Speaker 3: on Saturday tomorrow for USC Oregon. So I might grab
Speaker 3: my Colin cowhard glass of vodka cigar probably not, and
Speaker 3: see if I can do a douchey summation of what
Speaker 3: USC did at the half, only to watch them get
Speaker 3: blown out by Penn State in the second half.
Speaker 4: Elimination game, by the way, out of any content, any contention.
Speaker 3: While that's the question, is it an elimination game for
Speaker 3: Oregon as well? Yes, you think so? With two losses?
Speaker 3: If they they if they knock off Washington with two losses,
Speaker 3: they can't get in.
Speaker 4: All right, Maybe I get maybe I should back off
Speaker 4: that proclamation, but it will be difficult for them because
Speaker 4: that by definition puts them out of the conference title.
Speaker 3: Because and it would be hard to put them in
Speaker 3: over sc with a head to head loss, who also
Speaker 3: would have two losses. You're right, So it is an
Speaker 3: elimination game. You're right, because they're not going to put
Speaker 3: more than than three. They're going to put in Indiana,
Speaker 3: Ohio State and whoever wins this game. That's a great point. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so yeahlminated India.
Speaker 4: It's remarkable that my alma mater is not just going
Speaker 4: to make it for a second straight but is a
Speaker 4: lock to make. If they right, it'll blow up Purdue
Speaker 4: sixty to nine. They're going to beat Purdue obviously again.
Speaker 4: And if they lose to Ohio State in the conference
Speaker 4: title game, in a respectable way, I think you can
Speaker 4: make a case that they're still one of the four
Speaker 4: best teams.
Speaker 3: Think so yeah, in a respectable way, they get blown
Speaker 3: off the field, one loss possible, could they slip out
Speaker 3: of the top four? Oh yeah, ole Miss if ole
Speaker 3: Miss ends up with one loss.
Speaker 4: But ole Miss isn't going to finish with one loss.
Speaker 4: This is the hash that gets settled in the last
Speaker 4: quarter or so of the college football season where teams
Speaker 4: have to play each other and there's no tie available, right,
Speaker 4: so these teams are going to knock each other off
Speaker 4: and we'll clarify things for fit.
Speaker 3: Either Georgia or Ole Miss will get knocked out of
Speaker 3: where the top four I got you. One will stay
Speaker 3: in the other one cannot make it. And that's a
Speaker 3: great point. Yeah, so Indiana will stay in as they should.
Speaker 3: And by the way, UCLA fans, maybe put your eyes
Speaker 3: on that North Texas Rice game as the most interesting
Speaker 3: of the weekend, so you can get your eyes on
Speaker 3: your potential next head coach, because maybe you go the
Speaker 3: path we've talked about this, Maybe you end up going
Speaker 3: the path that Indiana went with Signetti when they plucked
Speaker 3: him from James Madison, and you go the route of
Speaker 3: Eric Morris at North Texas hit.
Speaker 4: The ground running.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And if AVA wants another And by the way,
Speaker 3: there's something crazy going on there, we'll have to talk
Speaker 3: to Bolch next week about the uh, the tax fraud
Speaker 3: that's going on their kates. Bad stuff there, bad stuff.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on with the big business
Speaker 4: element of the Rose Bowl versus so Fie, but I'm
Speaker 4: telling you that is a bad move that is not
Speaker 4: going to help. It's just doesn't do a program. It
Speaker 4: doesn't do any it's gonna make it worse. It's the
Speaker 4: same thing.
Speaker 3: It's just down the four or five instead about the
Speaker 3: Pasadena you know, up the the one on one to
Speaker 3: the one thirty four.
Speaker 4: But it's a little bit worse. It's a little bit
Speaker 4: further away.
Speaker 3: No, it's it's I don't know, what do you think
Speaker 3: it's it's probably can't tailgate. It's so fine, you can't
Speaker 3: tail games. You tailgating is a big I.
Speaker 4: Mean, the Rose Bowl is one of the three best
Speaker 4: college football tailgating experiences that I've that I've had.
Speaker 3: It's just been so far. It's so far from campus.
Speaker 3: As Petros has said, they got to build a place
Speaker 3: on campus, which they'll never do. So there's really no
Speaker 3: good Sillies.
Speaker 5: What are you catering though, towards the fan base of
Speaker 5: students that don't travel and barely go to basketball games
Speaker 5: one hundred yards away from the dorms already? You cater
Speaker 5: towards the alumni who are driving from Orange County, the
Speaker 5: Ie San Diego and they don't care where it's after
Speaker 5: crevit anyways. Yeah, and now they can't tailgay they're at
Speaker 5: so far it is a.
Speaker 4: Bad look that vacuus Rose Bowl. When when you look
Speaker 4: at it and they're playing a big time game or
Speaker 4: big time foe and it's half full, it's it ain't
Speaker 4: a great.
Speaker 3: Like Eric Morris, Drew Messta Maker bring him both here,
Speaker 3: the quarterback whisperer that made cam Ward, then made Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 3: that made Baker Mayfield and now has his superstar at
Speaker 3: North Texas at nine and one. Maybe they sneak in
Speaker 3: as the number twelve team, you know instead of two lane.
Speaker 3: That's your guy. So watch that North Texas versus Rice
Speaker 3: game at like four thirty ish and then figure out
Speaker 3: the tax fraud case with the shelter thirty seven crap
Speaker 3: that's going on.
Speaker 7: That's a bad scene.
Speaker 3: And hawaiiun LV that's right, watch that too tonight tonight
Speaker 3: seven thirty pm. Jo Bam Bouha gonna join us. I
Speaker 3: guess a little bit early. So we got a break
Speaker 3: here on the Lakers.
Speaker 1: We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
Speaker 1: you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
Speaker 1: favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app using Apple Car Play or Android Auto
Speaker 1: road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3: That's Jo Say and Monday five to seventy LA Sports
Speaker 3: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have a full
Speaker 3: four hour show today and while Clippers play tomorrow Sunday
Speaker 3: NFL Football Big One Chiefs versus Colts, the news around
Speaker 3: town is all about the Dodgers and their dynasty and
Speaker 3: how Mark Walter, owner is going to extend that fairy
Speaker 3: dust that he has sprinkled on the Boys in Blue
Speaker 3: three World series titles on his watch will now be
Speaker 3: applied to the Forum Blue and Gold. And here to
Speaker 3: help us make sense of the latest news, Andrew Friedman
Speaker 3: Farhans eighty going to be consulting the front office of
Speaker 3: the Lakers is the great Yovann Boujat. We certainly appreciate it, Yovan.
Speaker 6: What's happening?
Speaker 7: I'm doing well?
Speaker 3: How are you great? How did you take the news
Speaker 3: of Freedman? Anxiety kind of being the guys that are
Speaker 3: tabbed early surprised, not surprised, temporary, Like, what do you
Speaker 3: take away from this not surprised?
Speaker 8: I think it makes a lot of sense, especially when
Speaker 8: you think about that Mark Walter is a busy guy
Speaker 8: and he needs help with running multiple franchises and tapping
Speaker 8: into TWG Sports, the entity that he created to oversee
Speaker 8: all his sports holdings.
Speaker 7: I think that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 8: And to your earlier point about the fairy dust from
Speaker 8: the Dodger side, like, I think that has to be
Speaker 8: the goal here, right, Like, the Dodgers are not only
Speaker 8: arguably the best and the most well run organization in baseball,
Speaker 8: but arguably in sports right now, right So I think
Speaker 8: if the Lakers, that should be the goal and the
Speaker 8: standard for the Lakers is not only being the best
Speaker 8: and most well run organization in basketball, but in sports period.
Speaker 8: So if they can apply some of the structure and
Speaker 8: logic and process from what they did with the Dodgers
Speaker 8: to the Lakers, I think that makes all the sense
Speaker 8: in the world.
Speaker 3: So in terms of just like you said, makes sense
Speaker 3: but temporary, do you think we'll see like the same
Speaker 3: sort of application they had with the Dodgers, where hey,
Speaker 3: we're going to get Friedman and on top of Freedmen,
Speaker 3: we're going to get Anthropolis, and then we're going to
Speaker 3: get Gomes and then we're going to bring anxiety. Is
Speaker 3: that sort of what you envision some of these number
Speaker 3: twos or threes from around the NBA are going to
Speaker 3: be plucked and we'll build this super office, super front
Speaker 3: office like they date in baseball.
Speaker 8: Yes, that is my understanding with the goal with the
Speaker 8: front office moving forward is they want to bring in
Speaker 8: the best and the brightest, and there's no salary cap
Speaker 8: with the front office, right, so you can poach and
Speaker 8: pluck people from different front offices around the league, bring
Speaker 8: in the best scouts and the best analytics people and
Speaker 8: the best player development people, and just in terms of
Speaker 8: how you structure the organization like this is where I
Speaker 8: think Mark Walter's fingerprints are going to be super important
Speaker 8: in terms of just turning this into a top notch, functioning,
Speaker 8: well oiled machine. So I think, you know, the Lakers
Speaker 8: have I've talked about this before, but in some departments
Speaker 8: they'll have two to three people, and some of the
Speaker 8: top organizations in the NBA have five to six people.
Speaker 8: So I think it's both about quantity and quality here
Speaker 8: in terms of bringing in the best and spending whatever
Speaker 8: you know that price requires, and then also bolstering those
Speaker 8: different groups within the front office.
Speaker 7: To have as many.
Speaker 8: People as the top organizations, if not potentially more so.
Speaker 8: I think this is the one area where there's no
Speaker 8: salary cap. You know, it is different, but comparing baseball
Speaker 8: to basketball in terms of how it works with the
Speaker 8: rosters and how much you can spend and whatnot.
Speaker 7: But this is an area that if you can.
Speaker 8: Build the best front office in the NBA we've seen,
Speaker 8: like looking at what OKC has been able to do
Speaker 8: over the last fifteen years or so, you can do that,
Speaker 8: you can be well set up for decades to come.
Speaker 7: So I think that that is the goal right now
Speaker 7: with how they're trying to build this out.
Speaker 4: I'm interested in talking about the proletariat, the working class,
Speaker 4: the guy's actually out on the floor. But before we
Speaker 4: move on from the bourgeois level here, how long is
Speaker 4: Jeanie Buss a part of this executive wing of the Lakers.
Speaker 4: It seems like, well, we know she's the last bus
Speaker 4: at this point. Is she on her way out the door?
Speaker 4: Is she going to stick?
Speaker 7: I think she's going to stick.
Speaker 8: I mean as of right now that they have an
Speaker 8: agreement for her to be on as the governor for
Speaker 8: the next five seasons at a minimum.
Speaker 7: So you know, we've seen with the.
Speaker 8: Dallas situation and Mark Cuban it was more of a
Speaker 8: handshake deal with Wick Grosspec and Boston. It was a
Speaker 8: multi year agreement, but then that obviously ended up being altered.
Speaker 8: So I mean, I don't want to rule out anything here.
Speaker 8: I think there is a scenario in which, you know,
Speaker 8: maybe at some point in the future that that changes
Speaker 8: or that timeline is maybe three years instead of five years.
Speaker 8: But as of right now, with what is currently agreed to,
Speaker 8: it is a five year minimum with her still as
Speaker 8: the face of the organization, that the governor for the organization.
Speaker 7: So you know, it.
Speaker 8: Sounds like that was a pretty big part of this deal.
Speaker 8: And then she already had a working relationship and you know,
Speaker 8: rapport with Mark Walter previous to the sale.
Speaker 7: Obviously he was in my minority owner.
Speaker 8: But I mean, it is interesting though, because in most scenarios,
Speaker 8: like the governor is the majority owner of the franchise,
Speaker 8: and I wonder longer term, how the NBA feels about
Speaker 8: these situations where there is a minority owner presenting sort
Speaker 8: of the face of the ownership group and just in
Speaker 8: terms of Board of Governor's meetings and all those things.
Speaker 8: So I would not be surprised if it changes at
Speaker 8: some point in the future.
Speaker 7: But it does not.
Speaker 8: Sound like change is imminent and we're going to hear
Speaker 8: of a grander change at some point in the coming
Speaker 8: days or weeks or even months.
Speaker 3: All right, man, Booha, does it on Buja's block, Subscribe
Speaker 3: to it on YouTube, on Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts,
Speaker 3: Apple podcasts as well. That's b u ha apostrophe, Yes, block,
Speaker 3: the block belongs to him. What about Rob Polinka, Buha?
Speaker 3: Because that extension was done I believe if I memory
Speaker 3: serves correct prior to the sale. I think if I
Speaker 3: remember right, yeah, it was okay. And like I look
Speaker 3: at Polinka and because I have and you know, planted
Speaker 3: my conspiracy theory about the Dancis trade well before other
Speaker 3: folks hopped onto that and the immediacy after it was consummated,
Speaker 3: he hasn't really done much. The deals have been, in
Speaker 3: my opinion, sort of orchestrated by Clutch for lack Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: The first round picks haven't been great. I look at
Speaker 3: the second round picks and the Austin Reeves is like
Speaker 3: Nick Mazela deals. So how do you think they feel
Speaker 3: about Polenka.
Speaker 8: My understanding is he is in good standing right now,
Speaker 8: and to your point, he recently got an extension. He
Speaker 8: executed the Lukadantris trade, which you know, on its face,
Speaker 8: of course a lot of it has to be blame
Speaker 8: at the feet of Nico Harrison, but I think it
Speaker 8: was a master stroke from Polinka in terms of keeping
Speaker 8: Austin Reeves out of the deal, keeping an additional first
Speaker 8: round pick out of the deal, even keeping Dalton connect
Speaker 8: out of the deal, who value was much higher at
Speaker 8: that time and is obviously, you know, not panned out
Speaker 8: the way that the Lakers were hoping up to this point.
Speaker 8: But I mean, like, of course, you do the Lukadantis
Speaker 8: trade ten out of ten times, so I don't want
Speaker 8: to give him too much credit for that specifically, but
Speaker 8: the fact that he was able to negotiate and maneuver
Speaker 8: that deal the way he did, I do think he
Speaker 8: deserves a lot of credit because I don't think any
Speaker 8: GM just placed in that scenario would.
Speaker 2: Have done that.
Speaker 7: Because really, you could have.
Speaker 8: Made an argument and I would support this, like even
Speaker 8: if you threw in Austin Reeves and an additional first
Speaker 8: round pick, the Lakers still win that trade.
Speaker 7: You associated with where Austin was at at the time.
Speaker 7: Obviously now he's viewed in a different light, but I.
Speaker 8: Think he deserves a lot of credit for that. To
Speaker 8: your point, I think he's nailed a lot of the
Speaker 8: big things right, like the Ad trade, even though that
Speaker 8: was clutch driven to an extent, like he still executed that.
Speaker 8: I think, trading out of the Russell Westbrook situation, having
Speaker 8: the patients to let the asking price come down from
Speaker 8: two picks to one pick, and having that extra pick,
Speaker 8: which now you know, I think partly played into the
Speaker 8: Luca trade. Like he has been patient at the right times,
Speaker 8: and I think executed a lot of big vision things in.
Speaker 7: The proper way.
Speaker 8: But I do you think if you look at the
Speaker 8: minutia and like the Alex Caruso situation or some of
Speaker 8: these situations where they drafted well, but then they gave
Speaker 8: guys like Austin Reeves or Max Christie shorter term contracts
Speaker 8: that ended up having them enter free agency a bit
Speaker 8: earlier than the Lakers had to pay up earlier than ideal.
Speaker 8: Like there's been a lot of like the details that
Speaker 8: I don't think have been smooth sailing with this front office.
Speaker 8: So I think that's where Mark Walter coming in and
Speaker 8: adding in advisors.
Speaker 7: And new voices in the front office.
Speaker 8: I think at times it's been very insular, in a
Speaker 8: bit of an echo chamber over the last half decade,
Speaker 8: and I think the goal should be bring in people
Speaker 8: with no ties to the Lakers, bring in people who
Speaker 8: don't know Rob, who don't know Genie, who have no
Speaker 8: relation to Showtime or Kobe Shack or even Kobe Palell,
Speaker 8: and just bring in some new voices, some new perspectives,
Speaker 8: and people who had success in other organizations doing things
Speaker 8: in a.
Speaker 7: More modern way.
Speaker 8: So certainly I think there's a lot to nitpick and
Speaker 8: a lot of criticize.
Speaker 7: Over the last half decade.
Speaker 8: They did win a championship under his stewardship, they did
Speaker 8: make another conference finals, and they did execute the Luca trade.
Speaker 7: So again, there's been.
Speaker 8: Some big hits, but there's also been some big misses.
Speaker 8: And certainly with the details, that's where I've had the
Speaker 8: most issue with things.
Speaker 4: Booha, let's talk a little more Luca. By the way,
Speaker 4: if you guys got married Luca booja, now we're cooking
Speaker 4: with gas either way. Observation, I feel as.
Speaker 8: Though we're talking both from We're both in the Balkan region, so.
Speaker 4: Well, you have a lot in common. You've been up
Speaker 4: close and personal with with Luca, the new look Luca
Speaker 4: as it turns out, as we see, as we saw
Speaker 4: him re emerge from his big weight loss. You know,
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of guys eat their way out
Speaker 4: of the league, and I feel like there's an assumption
Speaker 4: that Luca is new and improved and that's going to
Speaker 4: be durable. What's your sense of that? Is Luca somebody,
Speaker 4: do you watch his eating habits, his workout habits. How
Speaker 4: sustainable is it or is it something that all those
Speaker 4: higher ups that we're talking about here are going to
Speaker 4: have to keep an eye on along with Luca's handlers.
Speaker 8: I think it's sustainable because Luca's weight has fluctuated in
Speaker 8: the past, and he has.
Speaker 7: Gone through periods where he has been in much better shape,
Speaker 7: And there have been.
Speaker 8: Previous seasons where he has played his way into better
Speaker 8: shape or been stricter with the diet or the off
Speaker 8: court habits. And I think there's really no greater motivation
Speaker 8: than being publicly criticized and ridiculed and even shamed, right
Speaker 8: Like I mean, I think Dallas had to find some
Speaker 8: way to justify the Luca trade, and the immediate thing
Speaker 8: that they put out there was the weight and the
Speaker 8: conditioning and the habits and the shape and all that stuff,
Speaker 8: and it was like he basically got body shamed for
Speaker 8: uh the last six months going into the season and
Speaker 8: then comes out with the men's you know, health and
Speaker 8: shows the new body and stuff. But like, I think
Speaker 8: there's no greater motivator than having people like we've all
Speaker 8: been there with someone posts a photo of you and
Speaker 8: you don't like the lighting or it looks like you
Speaker 8: got a double chin or something, and it all of
Speaker 8: a sudden, you're like the next week or two, you know,
Speaker 8: you're going to the gym more, you're eating better. Now
Speaker 8: imagine that on like a national, global scale where people
Speaker 8: can't comprehend why you are traded and the only thing
Speaker 8: that people can blom onto is like your way fat
Speaker 8: or how you look or whatever, why you so fat?
Speaker 4: That didn't work on sh no did it?
Speaker 7: And look But the second, I think this is going
Speaker 7: to be a thing.
Speaker 8: In terms of the second, if he starts to put
Speaker 8: on weight, comes into next season in a little bit
Speaker 8: worse shape, people are going to be harping on that
Speaker 8: and talking about it again. So he's kind of on
Speaker 8: notice with this, I think moving forward with his career
Speaker 8: and you know, to my knowledge, he stuck with basically
Speaker 8: everything he's done going back to the off season, and
Speaker 8: we have seen him post these career best basically across
Speaker 8: the board. He's at career best numbers or you know,
Speaker 8: matching his career best numbers. So I do think it's sustainable.
Speaker 8: But you know, can he sustain this through his prime?
Speaker 7: I think so.
Speaker 8: I think longer term there will be a question of,
Speaker 8: like into his thirties, you know, will he sustain.
Speaker 7: This and how does the age?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 7: But for now, I definitely think it sounds sustainable.

Speaker 3: There we go proletary and bourgeoisie. Huh, that's what we're
Speaker 3: going with here.
Speaker 4: I want to know who was the best fat NBA guy.
Speaker 4: Obviously baseball has had plenty.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you count Shack, it's obviously Shack.
Speaker 4: If we remove Shack, then too easy. Stanley Roberts, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Charles Berkley, Yeah yeah, the round mound of rebound. Well,
Speaker 3: only Kate's cares. I don't know if Kates cares about
Speaker 3: the Shack Kobe debate, but whatever it is that's on
Speaker 3: his mind is what we will deal with next.

Speaker 3: Vasse is not on tonight with Dodger talk.
Speaker 4: A lot, but Draglia I showed up for your third grade.
Speaker 3: It's not David Vasse tonight. Instead, we're going to Fox
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. I had Dave on the mind because of
Speaker 3: the Kimmel clip that was posted earlier today. Our girl
Speaker 3: Olson just cannot get enough, I mean ship between on
Speaker 3: air with Seth Myers and now backstage with Kimmel. She
Speaker 3: is just obsessed with Elizabeth Olsen talking about how she
Speaker 3: can't get enough of Vassa and Spectrum and how she
Speaker 3: has she imagines these different scenarios with Vassa and Ali
Speaker 3: interacts with the players and as she's just recounting his
Speaker 3: arm breaking and it is just it's too much and
Speaker 3: I just need a look. Does Dave need to meet
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Olson? No, we don't mean, we don't need that
Speaker 3: to happen, right, Yes, but let's keep this thing rolling.
Speaker 3: Whatever she's got called Booker on Fallon, Booker on Conan,
Speaker 3: whomever else, book her on Tucker Carlson, and let her
Speaker 3: just keep talking about whatever other shows are out there,
Speaker 3: and let her just keep talking about David Veasse and
Speaker 3: how much she loves watching him on Spectrum. The side
Speaker 3: and just a sidebar to that is how much it
Speaker 3: must get under a certain someone's skin who left Spectrum
Speaker 3: Sports Net to go do her thing in Boston and
Speaker 3: then had to come crawling back to baseball because her
Speaker 3: pet adoption thing wasn't working the way she had hoped.
Speaker 3: And oh, it's just got a chap la Bouja's ass
Speaker 3: something serious case.
Speaker 4: I was over the moon, by the way, as one
Speaker 4: of society's great impaths, for Fasset and for Tim and
Speaker 4: for everybody. I mean, Tim's burning the midnight oil so
Speaker 4: often talking about the Dodgers one hundred and sixty two times.
Speaker 4: I know then he gets fancy with Steve Sachs. It
Speaker 4: gets to be prime time.
Speaker 3: Was six am to nine am producing this show and
Speaker 3: then doing Dodgers on Deck and then doing Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: If David Vessey has got other duties.
Speaker 4: Well, some people have a job, and it's a fun
Speaker 4: job to talk about sports. Should it's still a job.
Speaker 4: I like it when the people who get to do
Speaker 4: it are in fact died in the Wolf fans of
Speaker 4: that team. I know this guy is, and so I
Speaker 4: was happy to see. I know he was legitimately over
Speaker 4: the moon. And last time I was in here making
Speaker 4: fun of the Dodgers, I think he actually took it
Speaker 4: heart a little. He thought he thought I was rude
Speaker 4: and mean spirited, and he dug his heels and he
Speaker 4: defended the boys in Bluitz.
Speaker 5: I almost unfollowed you again on Twitter. I appreciate you, Karen.
Speaker 5: Let's se if you care about this.
Speaker 1: And now for a segment that I've already lost interest
Speaker 1: in before this open is finished.
Speaker 5: Well, high school football playoff time, guys, and we all
Speaker 5: love high school football. Here on the Betros and Money Show,
Speaker 5: Dave Damnscheck some plays at Cresby tonight we got for
Speaker 5: CIF playoffs football. Now we've got overtime. In Omaha Productions.
Speaker 5: You know a little bit about that company. They're partnering
Speaker 5: together to create what they describe now is the first
Speaker 5: national championship game for high school football. The Overtime Nationals
Speaker 5: High School Football Championship Game will take place December tenth
Speaker 5: in Baltimore at the under Armoor Stadium at seven o'clock Eastern,
Speaker 5: and they have pitted what they say are the two
Speaker 5: best teams in high school football.
Speaker 6: Corner Canyon High School.
Speaker 5: In Utah twelve and one and sat PI Justice Academy
Speaker 5: from Mayorlin have been picked to play in the National
Speaker 5: Championship Game. The winning schools athletic department gets a quarter
Speaker 5: of a million dollars for winning this high school National Championship.
Speaker 5: ESPN will broadcast the game. Fourteen hundred under armored seat
Speaker 5: Stadium tickets are ten bucks to get in.
Speaker 6: They're on sale now.
Speaker 5: Overtime founder Dan Porter says that this single game format
Speaker 5: will start things off this year and his goal is
Speaker 5: to have a multi team high school football championship tournament
Speaker 5: moving forward.
Speaker 3: And one of the teams just from Utah.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, there's no way. This is
Speaker 4: a great idea. It's it's late in arriving finally.
Speaker 2: But there's no way.
Speaker 9: No Texas, no California team, no Saint Thomas Aquinas, no
Speaker 9: Grayson High School in Georgia, no modern Day, No Bishop Gorman,
Speaker 9: nobody from Texas Centennial.
Speaker 3: How about what Centennial's doing this year?
Speaker 4: That one from Southwestern PA.
Speaker 6: Come on, I mean, what are we doing now?
Speaker 5: California's got the CIF championships, Northern California versus Southern California.
Speaker 6: That's in three weeks.
Speaker 5: Texas has got all their division championships, so they've got
Speaker 5: state championships. But now this company, over Time, along with
Speaker 5: Omaha Productions, is putting together what they call their national
Speaker 5: championship game. And as Aaron Sonheimer pointed out on Twitter,
Speaker 5: this is not a good call.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: I mean, You've got Saint Francis Academy who lost to
Speaker 5: Saint John Bosco this year.
Speaker 6: They're only lost with the Bosco.
Speaker 5: Bosco lost to Orange Lutheran last week and also lost
Speaker 5: a Modern Day during the regular season. So how is
Speaker 5: a team in Saint Francis Academy playing in a national
Speaker 5: championship game when their loss came to a team from
Speaker 5: Southern California.
Speaker 6: Doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4: Well, in the nightmare is for the framers of this
Speaker 4: tournament or you know, one off tournament for now is
Speaker 4: if it's a blowout in either direction, then they chose poorly. Clearly,
Speaker 4: what you need is a great game here to perpetuate
Speaker 4: a future for that.
Speaker 3: I think you know Saint Francis, we know because we
Speaker 3: see them pretty regularly. They'll play one of the teams
Speaker 3: in the Trinity League year in and year out because
Speaker 3: they can't find the competition where they are.
Speaker 2: Oh, what do you know?
Speaker 3: And the Trinity The Trinity League is basically the SEC
Speaker 3: I mean, for all intents and purposes in high school football.
Speaker 3: That's why in O Louta, that's why a team like
Speaker 3: Santa Margarita can go up to Sierra Canyon and blow
Speaker 3: the freaking brakes off of them despite the fact that
Speaker 3: they've got every NFL or's kid out there playing because
Speaker 3: they have no competition like the Trinity League. That's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: every single week when you're playing Olu and Santa Margarita
Speaker 3: and Survey and Modern Day and Bosco, it's like playing
Speaker 3: Florida Auburn, Mississippi. You know, That's what it is. So
Speaker 3: to not include the number one team from the Trinity League,
Speaker 3: but to take us apart from.
Speaker 5: Utah Corner Canyon is where Zach Wilson went and Ray
Speaker 5: Wilson kids go and They've got a pretty good, you know,
Speaker 5: flow of kids going to D one in the NFL
Speaker 5: in the last ten years.
Speaker 3: What's the name of it, Corner Canyon. Okay, I'm on
Speaker 3: max Preps right now. They're not in the top twenty five.
Speaker 3: Like you look at the top ten and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: Saint Francis Grayson, I amg Centennial, Modern Day, Bishop Gorman,
Speaker 3: Santa Margaritta. It's all the teams that anyone that follows
Speaker 3: high school football is South Lake Carol like the Texas powerhouses, Carrollton,
Speaker 3: You're used to seeing Damatha, Saint Thomas Aquinas. You talked
Speaker 3: about that there.
Speaker 5: What are they doing? They were twelve and one in Utah.
Speaker 5: They're gongratulation. That was eight and one from Maryland.
Speaker 4: They lost the game. By definition, they can't be one
Speaker 4: of the two best teams in the country if they
Speaker 4: lost to somebody else.
Speaker 6: I like this. Apparently I'm not the only one who
Speaker 6: cares about this. I like this.
Speaker 3: I like this, good little story. They're all right for
Speaker 3: all you young kids. Ihit Another one who like YouTube
Speaker 3: and want to watch something old and cool, got something
Speaker 3: for you. It popped up on my x feed yesterday
Speaker 3: along with Dave Damascheck's tweets that come out about one
Speaker 3: thousand miles per hour. At you see a little busy
Speaker 3: with the thumbsast.
Speaker 4: Days, Dave, I don't know what that attracks you.
Speaker 5: About sixty six years ago yesterday here November twentieth, nineteen
Speaker 5: fifty nine, shek was fifteen, still tweeting Season one, episode
Speaker 5: eight of The Twilight Zone. Okay, and this episode made
Speaker 5: its debut Time Enough at Last, starring Burgess Meredith, one
Speaker 5: of the greatest episodes of The Twilight Zone.
Speaker 3: Time Which episode is is the pig Face? Episode is
Speaker 3: at the clock is like the time is stopped and
Speaker 3: the dude gets bored? Which one is it? Burgess Meredith's
Speaker 3: character works at a bank. He's kind of a dorky
Speaker 3: guy with thick glasses who likes to read but never
Speaker 3: has time to read. His boss nagsim at work, his
Speaker 3: wife nags him at home. While reading alone in the
Speaker 3: bank's vault, one day during lunch, he survives a nuclear
Speaker 3: blast and when he comes out of the rubble, he
Speaker 3: realizes he's all alone. Everybody's dead.
Speaker 5: He's got all the food he wants, but he's all alone,
Speaker 5: so he grabs a gun he's about to end it
Speaker 5: all before he sees books across the street at a library,
Speaker 5: and he loves books, and he starts to celebrate. And
Speaker 5: here's where we pick up. Okay, the great episode from
Speaker 5: the Twilight Zone.
Speaker 10: Books.
Speaker 2: All the books I'll need, all the books, all the
Speaker 2: books I'll.
Speaker 10: Ever want, Shelley Shakespeare, shawl all the books, I want,
Speaker 10: all the books. January February March.
Speaker 6: She loves to read.
Speaker 10: April May this year, the next year, and the year after,
Speaker 10: and the year after that and the year after that.
Speaker 6: You can read.
Speaker 7: It's worth this.
Speaker 10: I just keep hearing the pan And the best thing,
Speaker 10: the very best thing of all, is there's time now.
Speaker 10: There's all the time I need. There's all the time
Speaker 10: I want time, time, time, Ah, this time enough At.
Speaker 6: Last, I noticed one of the books.

Speaker 6: No, the glasses broke.
Speaker 5: Yes, the old glasses, the only pair of glasses that
Speaker 5: he has to read.
Speaker 6: All these books are gone.
Speaker 3: He's got a cataract.
Speaker 2: I mean he's a thick glasses. Check check it's thick.
Speaker 4: Seeing the Twilight John.
Speaker 2: That's not fair at all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not fair at all.
Speaker 2: It was no, it was was all the time I needed.
Speaker 5: Oh about that. One of the greatest episodes of the
Speaker 5: Twilight Zone. I've only seen like two of them. I
Speaker 5: was gonna say, it's yeah, it's a great one.
Speaker 3: I remember that one. I knew the Glass I remember
Speaker 3: that the Glasses are going to burn.
Speaker 6: Its vote is one of the top three of all time.
Speaker 3: The pig Face is number one, right, I think that's
Speaker 3: the number one where you put on the mask and
Speaker 3: they're the ugly people and they turn ugly, and that
Speaker 3: that you know they're making fun of the ugly people
Speaker 3: and then they become the pig Face.
Speaker 4: They rebooted it in the eighties and there was still
Speaker 4: some good ones there. The movie was pretty good.
Speaker 2: It was fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a little bit underrated. And like
Speaker 4: you said, of course, then Burgess Meredith goes on to
Speaker 4: play the penguin in the Batman series, The Great the
Speaker 4: Great Adam Adam West and all of that, and then
Speaker 4: ironically so he has to cataract that character, and then
Speaker 4: he plays Mickey gold Mill who trains Balboa, who gets
Speaker 4: a cataract or whatever because because Creed detaches is retin
Speaker 4: or whatever he does and he shouldn't get back in
Speaker 4: the ring. But Balboa's like, I gotta get back in
Speaker 4: the ring.
Speaker 6: I got it.
Speaker 4: I'm worthless. Adrian's gonna leave me, don't you know?
Speaker 2: Mick train me?
Speaker 4: He agrees against his will, and then he discovers does
Speaker 4: Mickey he sees at the start of three a young
Speaker 4: prize fighter Nate club or Lang, bare bones and no
Speaker 4: frills attack me though yeah, oh yeah, nasty yeah, nasty
Speaker 4: man might even defy the rules.
Speaker 3: Certainly, you know, to injure, tries to, you know, verbally
Speaker 3: defile another man's wife right in front of him. Can
Speaker 3: really humble a human.
Speaker 7: In a hurry.
Speaker 4: One of the great scenes there certainly is a young
Speaker 4: Dave damashek sat slack jaw watching that right at the
Speaker 4: foot of the Balboa statue. Now, lest did this all
Speaker 4: go down? It was terrible.
Speaker 3: One more hour to go. We'll get you your fun factor,
Speaker 3: your quick hits if you missed it. Don McClain joined
Speaker 3: us the changes in the Laker front office. The Clippers
Speaker 3: their four and ten record and an unprotected lottery pick
Speaker 3: that is still owed to Oklahoma City. Yes, they could
Speaker 3: end up with the number one overall pick, and Boozer's
Speaker 3: kid could be headed to Oklahoma City thanks to the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Way to Go got the Philadelphia Eagles of the NBA.
Speaker 4: Basically they have the best defense, also the cheapest defense, yes,
Speaker 4: by dollar.
Speaker 3: Congratulates you doing it.
