Speaker 3: the Tuskegee coach. I believe he got his justice correct.
Speaker 5: Well, he was handcuffed, But where's the apology from Morehouse
Speaker 5: it's time for the final our fun facts.
Speaker 2: In effect, it's yeah, We're three.
Speaker 5: Brought to you by Concordia University Masters in Coaching and
Speaker 5: Administration Program at Concordia University, Irvine. It's a fact we
Speaker 5: had coach Hami Ortiz on earlier this week, and it's
Speaker 5: a fact that he coached Sam Darnell. You want to
Speaker 5: coach a great guy like that, you better go to
Speaker 5: the Masters in Coaching UH program and get it figured
Speaker 5: out at CUI dot eedu slash Coaching.
Speaker 2: That Cui dot eed u slash coaching. Did you know?
Speaker 3: The flat topped three is known as an edge, like
Speaker 3: the haircut, like the Yeah, it's like, are a number
Speaker 3: three with a flat top like military grade flat top.
Speaker 3: The phonetic symbol edge is for the tailed Z like
Speaker 3: beige vision pleasure. It was introduced in the mid eighteen
Speaker 3: hundreds as a phonetic symbol, but there was a push
Speaker 3: in the age of forgeries to make the edge the
Speaker 3: standard form of a three, so you could not turn
Speaker 3: it into an eight. And there was a great push
Speaker 3: and it stuck for like three years. Bit ironic that
Speaker 3: it was about three years, but ultimately the standard round
Speaker 3: topped bulbousy headed three was able to hold off the
Speaker 3: flat top and it's much more determined militaristic style.
Speaker 5: So not a flat top three, the haircut the actual
Speaker 5: number three in its shape on a typing city exactly right,
Speaker 5: Because I was going to say, if the flat top
Speaker 5: three is what a guy with a flattop is, then
Speaker 5: the flumehead eight is what you got called.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's time to the quick hits. Everybody, come to
Speaker 2: the MS quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 4: Due.
Speaker 5: Yeah, camel Back ranch going now, but really gets going
Speaker 5: on Friday.
Speaker 2: Pitchers and catchers.
Speaker 3: Oh, I know is Otani's there, so you know, seems
Speaker 3: like it's really going on. Is gone Agains.
Speaker 5: Dodgers made a move today. They gave Max Muntsy a
Speaker 5: one year deal ten million guarantees that includes a seven
Speaker 5: million dollar salary for twenty twenty seven, ten million dollar
Speaker 5: team option, three million dollars buyout for twenty twenty eight months.
Speaker 5: He was headed into the final year of his current
Speaker 5: deal before signing the extension. He's thirty five, and he
Speaker 5: holds the postseason franchise record with sixteen play off homers
Speaker 5: forty six scored runs in October.
Speaker 3: Spring Chicken, thirty five walks around like he's fifteen man.
Speaker 5: He's looked thirty five for fifteen years. The Dodgers also
Speaker 5: resigned Key k Hernandez to a one year deal he
Speaker 5: told Dave this much at the polo event for four
Speaker 5: and a half million dollars. Here's a message from the keystar.
Speaker 6: What of Dodger fans playing simple? I'm back again. Sorry
Speaker 6: it took so long. That wasn't up to me, Andrew,
Speaker 6: But yeah, there's no other place I would rather be
Speaker 6: than here. So let's go for three in a row.
Speaker 4: Andrews True, Andrew Maaigo.
Speaker 5: Andrew Gosha. Dodgers also traded Anthony Banda former Petros and
Speaker 5: money guests to the Minnesota Twins, where you can hang
Speaker 5: out with James Outman in exchange for international pool money.
Speaker 2: What'd you get in return? Chlorine and a pump.
Speaker 3: I got this sweet eight foot in ground with pebble
Speaker 3: pack and a saltwater system.
Speaker 5: They sent the net with it grew. The Dodgers can
Speaker 5: use that to sign an international guy wild story from
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia Phillies. They released outfielder Nick Castanos. Today, Castanos
Speaker 5: is still O twenty million.
Speaker 2: Hey, you're a real jerk, Nick.
Speaker 5: He's going into the final season of a five year,
Speaker 5: one hundred million dollar contract. The Phillies released Castanos and
Speaker 5: then revealed the reason they're still mad at him, because
Speaker 5: he got bench last season after bringing beer into the
Speaker 5: dugout during the.
Speaker 2: Game Cold one, Cold One.
Speaker 5: Castanos's person a handwritten note on social media explaining the
Speaker 5: incident that preceded his benching. He said he brought beer
Speaker 5: into the dugout after being taken out of a game
Speaker 5: and complaining to Thompson about team rules. He said teammates
Speaker 5: took the beer away before he drank.
Speaker 3: Any Now, I did hear that he removed one of
Speaker 3: the beers from the six pack and then put his
Speaker 3: finger through the empty loop and just kind of walked in,
Speaker 3: swinging those five beers, just kind of showing it off,
Speaker 3: bringing it to, singing.
Speaker 2: It to hears too. Good friends, tonight is kind of special.
Speaker 2: The beer will pup friends tonight is kind of special, pitched.
Speaker 5: I'm not common maths, so tonight to give me my
Speaker 5: twenty mil.
Speaker 2: Give me my twenty mil. Now that would be further Norths.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to refresh your career, hey, Harps. Castianos
Speaker 3: just came in with some beers. What should we do
Speaker 3: about it?
Speaker 2: Climb enough. It's a clown question, Bro, That's a clown question.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 5: The Lakers are thirty two and twenty one of their
Speaker 5: host the MAVs tonight in the final game before they
Speaker 5: all start night. The Lakers current hold the sixth seed
Speaker 5: in the West, but Lebron it's not good enough for him.
Speaker 5: Bath game back on Minnesota for the fifth seed, one
Speaker 5: game ahead of Phone X for the seventh seed, and
Speaker 5: the play in turning Luka Doncic, who looks about as
Speaker 5: old as Max Muntzy hamstring strain four straight game out,
Speaker 5: hopes to be able to make an appearance in Sunday's
Speaker 5: All Star Game for.
Speaker 2: The World Team.
Speaker 3: You remember the offseason diet Revenge Tour Body by Jake.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you like the way you feel?
Speaker 2: You ask yourself, look in the mirror. Do you like
Speaker 2: the way you write?
Speaker 5: MAVs star Cooper Flag's got a mid foot strain and
Speaker 5: he's out tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, son of a bitch. I was gonna go see
Speaker 3: him in the Castro Rising. Shit, we just promoted that exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that now it's just canipple. Some say
Speaker 3: that Cooper's waving the white flag. The Clippers go to
Speaker 3: the All Star break on a winning note. Fully functional
Speaker 3: employee Adham is still x haaling five win over the Rockets. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard laughing all the way to the game winner.
Speaker 3: Slippers are twenty six and twenty eight, sitting in the
Speaker 3: ninth seed on the basically five hundred. Basically, you know,
Speaker 3: one of those games goes the other way and they're
Speaker 3: at five hundred at the break instead of twenty six
Speaker 3: and twenty eight, twenty seven and twenty seven. I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, I just kind of put that together. So
Speaker 3: ye're right on a technicality, you were wrong.
Speaker 2: You're right, but you were wrong. But I mean, just
Speaker 2: one game is different, Just one single game. Matherin to
Speaker 2: throw it in six point nine to play. The Clippers
Speaker 2: find Kawhi looking to be the hero tonight.
Speaker 3: Leonard down the left, Downy spins in the freako line,
Speaker 3: right jumper for.
Speaker 2: The lead, puts it in went two seconds left. Leonard
Speaker 2: is lethal.
Speaker 3: Here in Houston and the Clippers up for one O
Speaker 3: four one O two, two seconds to play.
Speaker 2: How about that, Kevin, Durant. How you like that? Uh,
Speaker 2: send goon? How you like that?
Speaker 4: Take that?
Speaker 2: Send gooon?
Speaker 4: You like that?
Speaker 5: We had this story earlier because of what Joe Judge said,
Speaker 5: but we would have to educate.
Speaker 7: You have this baby in the season that father has
Speaker 7: to play good football.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 7: It's a day by day production business. He has to
Speaker 7: be great to perform and go out there and play.
Speaker 7: And what I say that is you need to let
Speaker 7: him sleep. He needs to be another room detached. You
Speaker 7: have to explain to the mother, like, hey, listen, he
Speaker 7: ain't waking up for him midnight feedings every season.
Speaker 3: He's full metal jacket.
Speaker 5: You do whatever you want with us. Trinidad Chambliss, the
Speaker 5: quarterback at Ole Miss, got his extra year of eligibility
Speaker 5: to run for the Revs one more time in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty six. So that's a big story in college football.
Speaker 5: The various F one cars are being unveiled one by one,
Speaker 5: the liveries and such. We saw the Cadillac one on
Speaker 5: Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 4: It look great.
Speaker 5: Red Bulls showed off their twenty twenty six cars at
Speaker 5: the un four time champion Max for Stopping, who said, basically,
Speaker 5: this was my idea was very exciting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, this is something that I asked for
Speaker 8: already for a while, so when it's finally arrived, I'm
Speaker 8: very happy to see. Yeah, it looks a lot more
Speaker 8: fresh and it's a really cool livery It's of course
Speaker 8: still crazy to think about it that, you know, Red
Speaker 8: Bull had the idea, of course making their own engine
Speaker 8: and now basically almost being able to drive it. Yeah,
Speaker 8: we're all very excited. We know it's a tough project,
Speaker 8: but we're all very excited.
Speaker 2: To get on the way.
Speaker 5: Now things change, though, after he drove the new Red Bull,
Speaker 5: we're stopping said just a piece of man. Basically, the
Speaker 5: new generation of cars are anti racing, not fun to drive,
Speaker 5: comparing them to the all electric Series Formula E but
Speaker 5: on steroids.
Speaker 2: Wish I am not, by the way, sweeping regulation.
Speaker 5: Change for twenty twenty six has introduced a new era
Speaker 5: of power units that target a near fifty to fifty
Speaker 5: split between combustion.
Speaker 2: Power and battery power.
Speaker 5: As a result as an added emphasis on making the
Speaker 5: electrical energy available, resulting in drivers focusing on recharging the
Speaker 5: batteries underbreaking and in corners, while tactical deployment of the
Speaker 5: energy is expected to be a.
Speaker 2: Key factor in races.
Speaker 3: Kind of stole it a little bit from IndyCar, where
Speaker 3: they have the push to pass and you have to budget.
Speaker 3: You're push to pass throughout the course of the race,
Speaker 3: and it puts a little more strategicy anti racing in
Speaker 3: the UH in the driver's hands. I would say too,
Speaker 3: of all the liveries, as Max called them, I think
Speaker 3: Audis that's the number one. As much as we like
Speaker 3: the Cadillac and want to puff the chest out for
Speaker 3: the American brand out, he's the one that knocked it
Speaker 3: out of the.
Speaker 2: Park this year. I like the pink one. Whoever that
Speaker 2: is still because that dude came back to run it.
Speaker 5: Men's hockey beat Lafta five Latvia, Wear it Latvia, you idiots.
Speaker 5: Latvia went down five to one. Canada shut out Checkshia.
Speaker 5: Where so Chechnya Chechnya five to nothing in men's hockey?
Speaker 5: What about Chloe Kimpie That Miles Garrett's girl, Chloe kim
Speaker 5: went for the Olympics first snowboarding three pete but takes
Speaker 5: home silver. There's exactly one snowboarder in Olympic history with
Speaker 5: three gold medals. Sean White, Oh, the Flying Tomato. You know,
Speaker 5: that's what they call him because he's got red hair.
Speaker 5: It's flying Tomato.
Speaker 2: It's what he does.
Speaker 5: King Kim had a chance to join him in that
Speaker 5: club on Thursday, attempting the Olympics first three peat in
Speaker 5: snowboard halfpipe, but lost out on to the Republic of
Speaker 5: Korea's seventy year old Gion Choi seventeen year old.
Speaker 2: She was seventy. That'd be awesome.
Speaker 5: We'll be back with more. Petro said Money James Worthy.

Speaker 3: Lakers got one more game tonight, but we have the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six NBA All Star Game taking over Los
Speaker 3: Angeles all weekend long. We don't want you to miss

Speaker 3: every single week, and we certainly appreciate that. James Worthy
Speaker 3: brought to you by the twenty twenty six Ford f
Speaker 3: one fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
Speaker 2: It is time to see Ford in a new life.
Speaker 5: It is the one and only James Worthy getting ready
Speaker 5: for the All Star Break. Unless there's some money to
Speaker 5: be made here in LA, we'll probably be taking a vacation.
Speaker 2: As we've discussed in the past.
Speaker 4: With it.
Speaker 5: A Hall of Famer, a champion and an Emmy Award winner,
Speaker 5: and a champion in college when it was college. I'm
Speaker 5: a great James Worthy on the Petterson Money Show.
Speaker 2: What's cracked? James?
Speaker 4: How are you? Hey?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: This one more game before All Star weekend. I am
Speaker 4: sticking around this weekend, you know, as a ambassador to
Speaker 4: the city of Los Angeles for all the NBA fans
Speaker 4: that will becoming see the USA take on the world.
Speaker 2: Which is better than, I guess than what we've had.
Speaker 5: But before we get into that, James, were you ever
Speaker 5: in a guy did you guys ever pull all five
Speaker 5: starters like Kareem, you Byron, Magic ac like everybody sat
Speaker 5: for has that?
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that before? You know this modern time?
Speaker 5: Nah?
Speaker 4: Man, We we weren't setting players in our era. I mean, uh,
Speaker 4: even if we clenched you know, our playoff spot. Usually
Speaker 4: when we got the number one spot, you know, somewhere
Speaker 4: around March April. Uh, Kareem would get some rest for sure,
Speaker 4: maybe not practice, but he would still play the games.
Speaker 4: We definitely would give Magic some rests, you know. But no,
Speaker 4: we didn't. We didn't. We didn't pull all the guys
Speaker 4: out for for a game. We always thought that the
Speaker 4: more you played and the more you got continuity together,
Speaker 4: it was always, you know, always better regardless if you
Speaker 4: were up, you know, thirty points or if you're playing
Speaker 4: a lesser team. We always felt like that time on
Speaker 4: the floor was critical.
Speaker 3: You were a perennial All Star in your day, James,
Speaker 3: What was like, did you have an idea of what
Speaker 3: you wanted to say to the first time All Stars?
Speaker 3: Did you talk with them? Did you mentor them? Did
Speaker 3: you give them a hard time? Was there like rookie
Speaker 3: hazing for the first time All Stars?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: What was it like? What's it like in the All
Speaker 2: Star locker room?
Speaker 4: Yeah, something I was going to say, you know, not
Speaker 4: any premature hazing or anything like that. You usually don't
Speaker 4: see the guys until you get on that bus for practice.
Speaker 4: For instance, my last All Star game was in Miami.
Speaker 4: We had Don Nelson was our coach, and you know
Speaker 4: he knew that, you know, he was playing the Lakers.
Speaker 4: You know that that after the All Star break, So man,
Speaker 4: he practiced us real hard man me magical, Kareem Man.
Speaker 4: We were looking on the sideline and all his players
Speaker 4: were over there resting, mulling, you know, Joe barrit Care.
Speaker 4: He was just killing us.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you get that kind of hazing, and then
Speaker 4: when you get in the locker room, anything goes Man.
Speaker 4: You know, it's guys you've been playing against h you
Speaker 4: might you might tease somebody about their suit or anything. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was always fun in the locker room.
Speaker 3: So what do they You mentioned you're an ambassador, Like
Speaker 3: what do they have? Are you out there on Friday
Speaker 3: night with the first and second your players? Are you
Speaker 3: hackling the celebrities? Are you judging the slam Dunk contest?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 4: What is corporate NBA stuff? Like Kia Automobile. I'm doing
Speaker 4: some stuff for New Balance is going to be in
Speaker 4: town this weekend. You know, I was the first one
Speaker 4: to wear that shoe. A lot of the corporate entities
Speaker 4: that deal with the NBA are going to be here,
Speaker 4: and I'm going to be, you know, making some appearances
Speaker 4: on their behalf and also on Saturday. You know, I
Speaker 4: won't be judging anything, but I'll be at the Saturday
Speaker 4: events and also the Sunday game.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, make some money. They all start breakthche Yeah.
Speaker 5: Matt the Great James Worthy joining us right now on
Speaker 5: the Petros and Money Show, and we everybody wants to
Speaker 5: see Worthy and he deserves to be compensated for it.
Speaker 5: He's always wonderful with the people. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 5: So you're going to be out there. Do you think
Speaker 5: this could I mean, obviously the thing is dissipated as
Speaker 5: far as the competition goes, and there's all kinds of
Speaker 5: different reasons as to why. But do you think the
Speaker 5: USA versus the world is a good idea? And then
Speaker 5: it'll be good?
Speaker 4: This is going to bring back some competition because everybody
Speaker 4: all were he assumes or knows that that. I mean,
Speaker 4: our top players are from where they're they're they're not Americans, right,
Speaker 4: So I think I think it's you know, the you
Speaker 4: know America you know, has to you know, prove that
Speaker 4: you know that it was you know, our game, and
Speaker 4: you know we've always you know, dominated it. But I
Speaker 4: think in the last ten years or so, there's been
Speaker 4: a sudden change in you know, dominant players, you know,
Speaker 4: different countries. So I think this year will be the
Speaker 4: most exciting one that we've seen in ten twelve years.
Speaker 3: I mean, you just said it, James, it's US versus
Speaker 3: the world. And I think when you look at the
Speaker 3: world roster, I mean, if everybody's playing, they're probably the favorites, right.
Speaker 2: The top.
Speaker 4: I mean you look you name the top five top
Speaker 4: ten players uh in the NBA, and you know you
Speaker 4: start with Yoke. You can start with whoever you want
Speaker 4: to start with. And you know you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 4: get Luca, You're gonna get Yokies, You're gonna get the
Speaker 4: Shade from Canada. You know you're you're gonna get the
Speaker 4: guys from France. So yeah, I mean that that says
Speaker 4: a lot about how the game has evolved. But I
Speaker 4: also think it has a little bit to do about
Speaker 4: you know, guys not you know, staying in college long
Speaker 4: enough to you know, to let that college coach rip
Speaker 4: that little ego out of your chest, get some discipline,
Speaker 4: get some fundamentals. You got guys that are taking four
Speaker 4: or five steps, you know, to get you know, it's
Speaker 4: like they're carrying the ball. I mean I can name
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff that I see the lack of
Speaker 4: defensive principles. So yeah, I mean Europe has I remember
Speaker 4: going to Australia back in ninety six. Linda Rambis took
Speaker 4: us over there, Me, Kirk Moses, Lalone, Terry Tiger. We
Speaker 4: were trying to help the Australian team get ready for
Speaker 4: the ninety six Olympics, and you could tell back even
Speaker 4: back then that they were they were really working hard
Speaker 4: on the fundamentals of the game, you know, and then
Speaker 4: all the euro step and the three point all that
Speaker 4: stuff came later. But they've caught up. And if we
Speaker 4: don't watch out, they're gonna, you know, they're gonna have
Speaker 4: a lot to say about what's happening in the NBA.
Speaker 5: You might have to wrap yourself in the flag and
Speaker 5: take over for the USA if things get it crazy
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 2: James the Great Chambers.
Speaker 4: I have to do, man, whatever I have to do.
Speaker 5: Captain America. James Worthy joining us right now. I know
Speaker 5: he didn't feel too bad that the Duke guys got
Speaker 5: punched when they rushed the floor at Chapel Hill the
Speaker 5: other day North Carolina with the big win over Duke.
Speaker 5: But James, when it comes to the Lakers at the
Speaker 5: All Star Break, you know, Lebron James said it after
Speaker 5: they lost to OKC that they're not a championship team,
Speaker 5: and oksee is I'm not really sure if that's a
Speaker 5: message or just a just a moment of truth or
Speaker 5: whatever it is. But what is the state of the
Speaker 5: Lakers here at the proverbial halfway point.
Speaker 4: I think Lebron hit it right on the head. You know,
Speaker 4: they're not a championship team. Oklahoma is even without some players.
Speaker 4: Their system is such that you can just plug in
Speaker 4: a reserve or you know, another player and the system
Speaker 4: still works. That's championship quality right there. Uh, the Lakers,
Speaker 4: they can get there. I mean, I don't use any excuses,
Speaker 4: but I'm waiting for the day when everybody is on
Speaker 4: the floor at the same time, our big three, you know, Luca, Lebron,
Speaker 4: and Austin and then we have everybody else healthy, a
Speaker 4: healthy bench, and hopefully we can get that after the
Speaker 4: All Star break, because right now, I think if you
Speaker 4: look at it pre All Star break, is probably disappointing
Speaker 4: that you know, you didn't take care of a couple
Speaker 4: of games and you did have some injuries, but you
Speaker 4: still had opportunity to kind of cares some games and
Speaker 4: it didn't happen. So we're still seeking that it's there.
Speaker 4: Trust me, it's there, especially when Ayton is playing efficiently
Speaker 4: and really is you know, our bench and we got
Speaker 4: two defensive guys, Marcus Smart and van Nevelt. When they're
Speaker 4: you know, on the floor defending I think, you know,
Speaker 4: this team is a threat. I don't say there like
Speaker 4: the top three, but they could be in the West.
Speaker 3: I felt like we would always James say, oh, you
Speaker 3: want to get one of those top four seeds. Just
Speaker 3: get that first home series and then afterwards you're fine.
Speaker 3: But that was always kind of the goal, right, maybe
Speaker 3: try to win the division or get a top four seed.
Speaker 3: Now is it adjusted to just be healthy and stay
Speaker 3: out of the play in everything else you're fine, be healthy,
Speaker 3: stay out of that.
Speaker 2: Is that kind of what the approach is.
Speaker 4: I think it is. I think it would be considering
Speaker 4: where they are at the moment. They got to win games,
Speaker 4: and I think the key word is healthy. Help, you know,
Speaker 4: takes care of a lot of things, and then avoid
Speaker 4: that play in because you don't need to be playing
Speaker 4: extra games with a forty one year old veteran and
Speaker 4: you know you already have you know, injuries that are
Speaker 4: still you know around nagging. So you need to be healthy.
Speaker 4: Come in and there sixth spot, fifth spot, and you know,
Speaker 4: just go from there and then be healthy in the
Speaker 4: playoff start. You got Luca, you got Austin. Ree's a
Speaker 4: healthy team that no one wants to I always say this,
Speaker 4: no one wants to see the Lakers, but I think
Speaker 4: it holds through this year, given the fact that JJ's
Speaker 4: had a year under his belt, Lucas had a full
Speaker 4: year under his belt. They've had some disappointments, they got
Speaker 4: a lot of make up for, and I think they're
Speaker 4: aware of that.
Speaker 3: Last one for you, James, brought to you by the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six Ford F one fifty, California's best selling
Speaker 3: truck brand. It's time to see Ford in a new light.
Speaker 3: Just wrap it up with one last All Star War.
Speaker 3: We just saw it in Los Angeles. Not in Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: but Clayton Kershaw was in the All Star Game.
Speaker 2: It was a big to do.
Speaker 3: Do you anticipate it being like that for Lebron or
Speaker 3: do you think everybody is under the assumption that he's
Speaker 3: going to play basketball next year and we're not going
Speaker 3: to see some sort of procession about maybe this is
Speaker 3: the last time we're going to see this guy in
Speaker 3: an All Star Game.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's there yet. I haven't felt that,
Speaker 4: you know that generated throughout the league. You know, you
Speaker 4: feeling by now someone would have, you know, done a
Speaker 4: big halftime thing. Rumors about Lebron, you know, possibly want
Speaker 4: to go back to Cleveland where it all started. There's
Speaker 4: all kind of things happening. But I don't think. I
Speaker 4: don't think that's on the table this year. In my opinion,
Speaker 4: I think he wants to win, and he's still playing
Speaker 4: like he wants to win. And I think after this year,
Speaker 4: after the season, you know, and Samantha Savannah will sit
Speaker 4: down and talk about what the next movie.
Speaker 5: My son is in the seventh grade, and I just
Speaker 5: got a text here, James that says, in nineteen eighty six,
Speaker 5: when I was in the seventh grade, I went to
Speaker 5: my first NBA game at the Sports Arena. We got
Speaker 5: there early to watch the Lakers warm up. In the
Speaker 5: middle of his pregame routine, with the arena empty, Worthy
Speaker 5: stopped and waved at my buddy and me. A great
Speaker 5: moment for us sitting in the last row. Thank you, James.
Speaker 2: Word.
Speaker 4: Good memories, man, good memories over there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like the sports Now you got.
Speaker 5: Did you guys have like a cool pregame warm up thing,
Speaker 5: like when Lebron throws the ball into the air and
Speaker 5: everybody squats down and does a special dance or he.
Speaker 4: Na We didn't have anything that would have been cool though.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even think pat Rally would have
Speaker 4: permitted anything like that. He'd just seen something like that
Speaker 4: pre game, especially Jerry west Man. If you weren't serious,
Speaker 4: like if you missed the layup in the layup line, man,
Speaker 4: you weren't ready to play man, and it was just
Speaker 4: so much pressure on everything. But nah, I think it's cool.
Speaker 4: I like it. Actually, it brings the guys together, righting
Speaker 4: for timpaul, anything to get you together, it's cool.
Speaker 2: And do the cool kid in playdance. That'd be cool.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: We love you, James, thank you, and have a great
Speaker 5: All Star break and enjoy all the festivities and you
Speaker 5: deserve to be celebrated.
Speaker 2: Have fun.
Speaker 4: You got it, man, Have a good one.

Speaker 3: Birthday of the day, Dead Guy, Great American would have
Speaker 3: been two hundred and thirty five today. Happy birthday to
Speaker 3: Peter Cooper, American industrialist, inventor, philanthropist, social reformer, best known
Speaker 3: for his founding of the Cooper Union for the Advancement
Speaker 3: of Science and Art in Manhattan. It is still open today,
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty seven years later, and while the
Speaker 3: Cooper Union no longer offers every admitted student a full
Speaker 3: tuition scholarship, in twenty fourteen they shifted to every admitted
Speaker 3: student gets a half to wish go.
Speaker 2: Buy headphones for you guys. You got to bring your
Speaker 2: own headphones.
Speaker 3: In thanks, Boss, appreciate that half the student body is
Speaker 3: on full tuition scholarship, So how did Pete put that together?
Speaker 3: He was born in the big town. His father was
Speaker 3: a hat maker. Buy headphones for the house, Whisper and David.
Speaker 3: The headphones you bought, Boss broke in four weeks, but
Speaker 3: thank you for the effort. His dad was a hat maker,
Speaker 3: a revolutionary war veteran, so not a lot of family money.
Speaker 3: Young Peter received only a limited formal education, but he
Speaker 3: paired that with a strong work ethic passion for self learning.
Speaker 3: Had to leave school before his teen years to work
Speaker 3: various jobs to help support his family. Apprentice to a
Speaker 3: coach maker in his teens, and in his downtime he
Speaker 3: would study science, math, engineering, which led him to work
Speaker 3: for himself. He became an inventor and entrepreneur during the
Speaker 3: early years of the Industrial Revolution, held several patents, started
Speaker 3: multiple businesses, glue and iron manufacturing companies. The iron manufacturer
Speaker 3: really took off. Everything he did made money. He was
Speaker 3: an exceptional businessman, most famous for designing and building the
Speaker 3: Tom Thumb locomotive in eighteen thirty, the first American built
Speaker 3: steam locomotive to operate on a common carrier railroad. Famous
Speaker 3: Newsworthy race against a horse drawn train car did not
Speaker 3: go his way, all right, the horse.
Speaker 5: One Chris collinswor didn't win either. But you know what
Speaker 5: set himself up for a great career exactly, and one
Speaker 5: for his son, who is still incarcerated.
Speaker 2: I couldn't get off the rock.
Speaker 3: The steam powered engine, though, did perform well enough, was practical,
Speaker 3: was efficient, and it paved the way for the rapid
Speaker 3: expansion of railroads across the country.
Speaker 2: Where you gow that to Coop. He earned a substantial fortune.
Speaker 2: He did not keep it.
Speaker 3: He was known for treating his workers fairly, paid them
Speaker 3: a healthy wage, incredibly uncommon at the time. He encouraged
Speaker 3: other businesses to follow his lead. His lasting contribution, though,
Speaker 3: the founding of the Cooper Union in eighteen fifty nine
Speaker 3: self taught success story, was Coop believed strongly in the
Speaker 3: power of education to improve lives, to create opportunities, so
Speaker 3: he wanted to provide free education to working class men
Speaker 3: and women. The Cooper Union established as tuition free courses
Speaker 3: in science and engineering and art. It was one of
Speaker 3: the first colleges in the US to admit women with
Speaker 3: men to provide education without regard to race, to social class.
Speaker 3: He saw education as the great equalizer based on merit,
Speaker 3: not wealth, and he was right. An incredible success. Thomas
Speaker 3: Edison went to the Cooper Union on a full scholarship.
Speaker 2: Great guy.
Speaker 3: Milton Glazer of Pushpin Studios, the guy that created the
Speaker 3: iHeart New York logo. Dave Berg, founder of Mad magazine.
Speaker 3: Josh Lionel, creator of Lionel Trains all Cooper Union. He
Speaker 3: was active in politics, supported public education, improvement of working conditions,
Speaker 3: abolition of slavery. He ran for president in eighteen seventy
Speaker 3: six as a party candidate of the Greenbacks. He lived
Speaker 3: to be ninety two out in eighteen eighty three. Cooper

Speaker 5: started performing at a young age, moving around from sound
Speaker 5: system to sound system. His real job for a long
Speaker 5: time was that of a butcher. However, that's not how
Speaker 5: he got the nickname Cuddy. That is not the nick
Speaker 5: name name Cutty Ranks his origin. Rather, the nickname Cuddie
Speaker 5: comes from the tough street fighting waves and he does
Speaker 5: have at least four very visible knife scars on his
Speaker 5: face and abdomen. However, his past of being a butcher
Speaker 5: did inspire the name and the lyrics to one of
Speaker 5: his most famous dancehall songs, Limb by lim. His debut
Speaker 5: was nineteen eighty six getting around Jamaica and then Miami.
Speaker 5: His nineteen ninety one UK based album The Stopper caught
Speaker 5: my attention for sure as a young man, as did

Speaker 5: some great collaborations with Dennis Brown, Marcia Griffiths, Barris Hammond.

Speaker 5: he spends time traveling or performing in and around Jamaica
Speaker 5: or the world. When he is in Jamaica, he spends
Speaker 5: a lot of time at the famous Debbie's sports bar
Speaker 5: in Clarendon Parish. Debbie's, which is a real I looked
Speaker 5: it up and it's a real. I've never seen anything like.
Speaker 5: I was like, let me check out Debbie's. Like I
Speaker 5: did expect it to look like Fiddy's in Westlake, but
Speaker 5: it was like, what is on that shelf?

Speaker 5: Two Chains used him once in a song, but also
