Speaker 2: a panther right in your face before you go into
Speaker 2: the house.
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic again, depending on how you want to
Speaker 4: pronounce it, Uh, Chessia, Checkia, the former Czech Republic, the
Speaker 4: former Czechoslovakia, the Czechs. They like to be known as
Speaker 4: Chechia now as opposed to ce Czech Republic, not Chechnya.
Speaker 2: That's a different place.
Speaker 4: I guess Chesna is the way they say it in
Speaker 4: their native language, but it's very confusing. Chessnut chess, chess chesna.
Speaker 4: A couple fun facts about check ya, they're not winning.
Speaker 4: The word robot was born in check Ya. Check Writer
Speaker 4: Carl Kappik, in his nineteen twenty play ru Are, saw
Speaker 4: the first use of the word robot, and you would
Speaker 4: fit right in there.
Speaker 5: Pee.
Speaker 4: Because Chechia is the most well read country on Earth.
Speaker 4: The average Czech citizen reads thirteen books per year.
Speaker 2: I did know that about Prague. They'd like to read
Speaker 2: very literate society.
Speaker 4: Check ya there it is, check check ya.
Speaker 2: What about chesna?
Speaker 4: Check ya? That's the they say. The English like to
Speaker 4: pronounce it check ya, but the locals call it get no.
Speaker 4: Check here, check here.
Speaker 2: Keddy, Chesney live and Chestna okay. Quick hits to the ms.
Speaker 2: Quick hitch, Come make it quick, y'all. Yeah, Dodgers of
Speaker 2: the spring training game today and goodyear versus the Guardians.
Speaker 2: Rokie Sasaki couldn't get an out in the first inning.
Speaker 2: He walked three and he gave up a grand slam.
Speaker 2: He threw two pitches before Dave Roberts pulled him. Sasaki
Speaker 2: would come back out and pitch a second innings and
Speaker 2: was great putting up zeros.
Speaker 6: You know, spring training, when a guy sucks in the
Speaker 6: first inning, you.
Speaker 2: Can pull him and then he goes back.
Speaker 6: You can pull him out and let him restart the
Speaker 6: second In fresh well, that's kind of cool. It happens
Speaker 6: all the time during the regular season. You know, you
Speaker 6: get lit up in the first inning, four runs, grand slam.
Speaker 4: Won't take a breather. Yeah, let's let's reset. Okay, maybe
Speaker 4: have some of the the gum that's there on that
Speaker 4: big tub.
Speaker 2: Hey, Rochi, you did great? What time did you get here?
Speaker 2: Right at the second ending? Why no reason happened? I
Speaker 2: got my booms ripped off and they pulled me out
Speaker 2: of the game. Now is that kind of went back in?
Speaker 2: Does that count as two starts? Like, Hey, in his
Speaker 2: last start he got really roughed up, But this, this
Speaker 2: most recent start, he really locked it up. Like for
Speaker 2: everybody else, it counts as one game, but the second
Speaker 2: inning for him in the second start is really the first.
Speaker 4: Exactly right, he was really good in his last start.
Speaker 2: I feel like that would really upset a lot of
Speaker 2: stat guys if people worried about this stuff, if they
Speaker 2: didn't just end the game and a tie and stuff.
Speaker 6: What think of it? This way back in the eighties,
Speaker 6: we used to say, psych, he goes out there, gives
Speaker 6: him four runs? Psach kinda come back out?
Speaker 2: Does the hand thing on his hand goes over their dugout?
Speaker 2: Does the psych chumps back to the mouth, clear the
Speaker 2: decks the reset button of baseball.
Speaker 4: What do you think, Roki, you want to go back
Speaker 4: out there?
Speaker 2: What the hell do you think.
Speaker 4: It's climb back on that horse. Here's Dave Roberts after
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 7: You know, I just think he was just missing off
Speaker 7: the plate armside, you know, got behind a little bit.
Speaker 7: You know, I think menzar to hit the Grand Slam.
Speaker 7: There's a walk in there. But you know, for me,
Speaker 7: I think the takeaway, curiously is the way he bounced back.
Speaker 7: You know, it was a long ending. We had to
Speaker 7: take him out of that first inning, had to chat
Speaker 7: with Mark Pryor. Came back and then was able to
Speaker 7: strike the split, work ahead, fastball, played up, you know,
Speaker 7: and then that third inning was just as good. So
Speaker 7: really good stuff.
Speaker 2: Other Dodger news, Tommy Edmond is progressing and his recovery
Speaker 2: from ankle surgery and taking BP Lawyers. World Baseball Classic
Speaker 2: News starts at two am with Chinese Type A versus Australia.

Speaker 6: How about Mike Trout's not even a starter for Team USA.
Speaker 6: He can't even sniff the outfiel When you got Aaron Judge,
Speaker 6: Roman Anthony and Byron Buxton out there starting, that sounds.
Speaker 4: Like he could maybe start over one of those two guys.
Speaker 4: Maybe Bucks didn't center field, you know, I would assume
Speaker 4: maybe the whoever the Angels manager is now after Ron Washington, he's.
Speaker 2: Been saying a lot of weird stuff. Trout, right before
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic said he was going to use
Speaker 2: a turo for a bat against Mexico, and a lot
Speaker 2: of people were offended. So keep him on the pitch.
Speaker 4: Sticks against the Chinese.

Speaker 2: on the Netherlands. If I had known that, I would
Speaker 2: have never taken the drugs replacing him. You're on Vanders Slute,
Speaker 2: horrible murderer.
Speaker 4: I believe he is imprisoned. He might have killed himself.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they might have. They might have sloot. They
Speaker 2: might have let the slute finish it off in prison,
Speaker 2: or as you would say, Matt, call it, call it yourself.
Speaker 2: Still alive, all right, the Sliss still in prison, still
Speaker 2: in prison, Yeah, let us sloote out.

Speaker 3: You know, we just got to go game by game.
Speaker 3: Obviously there's a lot of noise outside.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I tried to not pay attention to that. You gotta
Speaker 3: go game my game, and that's too games. I think
Speaker 3: we play.
Speaker 4: Agree, that's one way to put it. They did play great.
Speaker 4: They dominated their opponents by double digits.
Speaker 2: In the game, he made a wild shot after falling down,
Speaker 2: and he said his teammates referenced it being on and one.
Speaker 4: Like shot going back to the nineteen nineties mixtape days,
Speaker 4: was skipped to malou In Jamal Crawford. He was asked
Speaker 4: about it after the game.
Speaker 2: Luca have a bit of a lighthearted one.
Speaker 8: I didn't know you were efficient out of the N
Speaker 8: one mixtapes. What was your experience kind of growing up
Speaker 8: watching those and do you have a player there that
Speaker 8: you kind of like or imitate your game from.
Speaker 3: I was a kid and I couldn't be on internet.
Speaker 3: Maybe you know Iverson did he do it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 8: No, no no, it was like street ball kind of things.
Speaker 2: And oh no, no, no, no, I don't know. I didn't watch.
Speaker 2: I didn't watch.
Speaker 4: This is a very uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: See.
Speaker 4: Now, that's how you do it, Lebron. When you say
Speaker 4: something and people are like, oh, you were into the
Speaker 4: end one and then you get schooled on what the
Speaker 4: end one is and you're like, oh, yeah, I guess
Speaker 4: I wasn't.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite line from The Godfather? Honestly, guys, I
Speaker 2: can't never seen them.
Speaker 3: So they would say on the bank. So that's why
Speaker 3: I said that, come too, you.
Speaker 4: See, not hard, very easy to just tell the truth.
Speaker 2: And I don't know. The Clippers are twenty nine and
Speaker 2: thirty one, they're ninth in the West. They got to
Speaker 2: win over the Warriors last night. Draymond was unhappy Warriors
Speaker 2: Dayneterhauser knocking all over.
Speaker 4: And needing fewer all over them man.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night they host the Pacers.
Speaker 4: Who is that white guy?
Speaker 2: It's pitiful, other terrible.
Speaker 4: Who's this giant white guy, It's just swatting everything away?
Speaker 2: Love that guy. He's a darker hue than you and
Speaker 2: I'm at slightly. Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson is not
Speaker 2: being tagged and will now become an unrestricted free agent.
Speaker 2: Matt There's a lot of NFL news out there.
Speaker 4: He is the best defensive end on the market, had
Speaker 4: been franchise tagged before. He will hit the market and
Speaker 4: is expected to command a large number char I shouldn't say.
Speaker 4: Chargers Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dolman announced his retirement.
Speaker 4: He was just signed to a big free agent deal
Speaker 4: last year. He was one of their big free agent
Speaker 4: signings twenty seven, prime of his career and said he's
Speaker 4: going to retire, so kind of weird, but whatever. Rams
Speaker 4: head coach Sean McVay spoke to the media today. He
Speaker 4: said there is in fact dialogue between the team and
Speaker 4: quarterback Matthew Stafford. We talked about this in the past
Speaker 4: about his contract. He has way underpaid after having won
Speaker 4: the MVP. Dak Prescott is making sixty million bucks a year.
Speaker 4: Stafford is expected to make forty. So they will try
Speaker 4: to give him a higher salary while also trying to
Speaker 4: get his number against the cap to go down. They'll
Speaker 4: do that with void years in a multiple year deal.
Speaker 2: UCLA, Matt has got another big one tonight and they're
Speaker 2: gonna lose. How do you know that? Well, you know what,
Speaker 2: I don't know that you're right for a million dollars.
Speaker 2: I knew you were gonna come out here and ask
Speaker 2: me about offense. You do have to make shots to win.
Speaker 5: Are you asking a question or ben.
Speaker 2: No making a statement? I'm just trying to read the story.
Speaker 2: Welcome to college basketball, buddy. Well, you would know then
Speaker 2: that UCLA is nineteen and ten. They're eleven and seven
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. How do you know that? That's
Speaker 2: the record? They host Nebraska to night in the final
Speaker 2: home game of the season. It's written down terrible, terrible.
Speaker 2: Well it's not terrible. It's not favorable, but the Big
Speaker 2: Ten and a lot of good teams.
Speaker 7: I don't really have a lot to say.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Well, yeah, I understand you should have beat Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Losers talk about we were winning at halftime and you were,
Speaker 2: but then you'd lost. Well, got a TV buddy, I
Speaker 2: watched it yes on television on FS one. The Bruins
Speaker 2: will face USC on Sunday.
Speaker 6: Who hates nil more? You think Eric Musselman or Mick Cronin.
Speaker 6: After all the money spent on this Baker guy who's
Speaker 6: now gone, there's.
Speaker 2: Only a million dollars, and you kick them off the
Speaker 2: team before the tournament in Gillerinas attacks you will his
Speaker 2: son still on the team.
Speaker 6: And then you got Meg who, like every other we's
Speaker 6: complaining about these guys not performing and not living up time.
Speaker 4: I think Mick is beyond an il mix. Is very
Speaker 4: unhappy with college basketball, but.
Speaker 2: Just life in general, except for take making a left
Speaker 2: on sunset every day, which makes it very happy.
Speaker 4: The schedule, the travel, the conference.
Speaker 2: The two things I like doing making a left on
Speaker 2: sunset and I like making baseball analogies when I'm talking
Speaker 2: about that, But what do you think the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: doing that? Why do you think the Dodgers do that?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Coach Okay, look, I hope that Cronin
Speaker 2: beats the mayor tonight. But the mayors doesn't go down easy.
Speaker 2: It's hard to take on the city.
Speaker 4: What about coach Krzyzewski. Much like Mick Cronan, he didn't
Speaker 4: like the NC.
Speaker 2: He's not making his snarly face that he used to
Speaker 2: make when he said this.
Speaker 4: He's tired of a tournament expansion. He says it's been
Speaker 4: a big mistake. Capable teams right now than ever before.
Speaker 4: Way too many have nots it is not their fault.
Speaker 4: Stop messing with something that's gold.
Speaker 2: It's gold.
Speaker 4: That's the quote. And in other college athletics news, no
Speaker 4: surprise here after a judge ruled that Trinidad Shambliss can
Speaker 4: go back and play college football at his alma mater
Speaker 4: after being declined three separate times. The Mississippi State House
Speaker 4: just passed a bill that will exclude nil earnings from
Speaker 4: state income tax. You you school janitor, you're gonna pay
Speaker 4: the state what you owe the state. You construction worker,
Speaker 4: You're gonna pay the state what you owe the state.
Speaker 2: But not this special young quarterback from Farris State.
Speaker 4: No suh. He will go through Scott FREEESA knocking Louisiana.
Speaker 4: Say the same thing, young man, Not can Alabama say
Speaker 4: the same thing your apps.

Speaker 2: We have our dear friend, the one and only Tom
Speaker 2: to LESCo, joining us on the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 2: Serious XM NFL. He learned it all from us his
Speaker 2: media career. Just kidding. Longtime GM of the Chargers with
Speaker 2: the Raiders as well our longtime friend and informational pillar,
Speaker 2: Tom Telesco. What's cracking, Tom? How are you? Yes?
Speaker 5: Everything I know in media is from Petrow some money
Speaker 5: And if you want to listen to this Friday, nine
Speaker 5: am to twelve, Channel eighty eight Curious XM, we'll talk
Speaker 5: all free agency, all draft, everything you can handle for
Speaker 5: three hours.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: Look at that plugged straight out the gate. Very wait
Speaker 4: for the host to get to it. I heard it yourself.
Speaker 2: I heard you have a parody song about Max Crosby
Speaker 2: to the Rolling Stones, Angie Crosby cross Man. Anyway, we
Speaker 2: appreciate you plugging that, Tom, because it is it is
Speaker 2: a wild time. Is this supposed to be a more
Speaker 2: active year than normal?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: I mean this is just the way it is that
Speaker 5: you get this little week between the combine and free agency.
Speaker 5: But you know next week there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 5: of action going on. There's just there's so much cap
Speaker 5: space amongst the teams right now now, a lot of
Speaker 5: a lot of players, a lot of big name players
Speaker 5: had already signed back to their clubs last year with
Speaker 5: early extensions. But there's gonna be a lot of big
Speaker 5: names on the market next week, there's gonna be a
Speaker 5: lot a lot of changes and then you know, and
Speaker 5: then you're transitioning into the draft right away. Just watching
Speaker 5: the combine last weekend and the amount of prospects and
Speaker 5: the and the positions that are strong. But yeah, there's
Speaker 5: gonna be a lot going on in the month of March.
Speaker 5: And this is every year, this one. The league is
Speaker 5: so exciting because you know, from a fan standpoint, you
Speaker 5: have a chance to see some some some real action
Speaker 5: from your club. And the big thing is, like, there's
Speaker 5: so much money out there available, so these players will
Speaker 5: get some pretty big contracts next week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, cap went up over three hundred million bucks. Every
Speaker 4: team seemingly has money. To Petro said it. You spent
Speaker 4: time in Vegas. You're the GM of the Raiders. You
Speaker 4: know Max Crosby very well. It seems to be the
Speaker 4: biggest name out there. Uh seems like today was sort
Speaker 4: of the first day we got multiple media folks saying, yeah,
Speaker 4: it feels like this is going to happen sooner than later.
Speaker 4: Your thoughts does he get moved, and your thoughts on
Speaker 4: that decision by the Raiders, where they're at, the division
Speaker 4: they play in, and whether or not that's kind of
Speaker 4: how they should be approaching, you know, their franchise player.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I can definitely see the logic behind it.
Speaker 5: They have to add so much talent to the team
Speaker 5: and sometimes you may have to move an asset that
Speaker 5: you know is very good to acquire a lot more
Speaker 5: assets and younger assets moving forward. Now, you would ask
Speaker 5: me us a couple of weeks ago, I didn't think
Speaker 5: it was going to happen. Nothing, aboudies it more than
Speaker 5: a Raider than Max Crosby. And you know Max bill
Speaker 5: is his name with two exes, So I mean, what
Speaker 5: more rable is that to have Max with two xes? Right, So,
Speaker 5: but I just didn't see it happening. You know, it
Speaker 5: kind of feels like something may happen. But the hard
Speaker 5: part from the Raiders is just getting true value back
Speaker 5: for a player who's an all pro player at a
Speaker 5: premium position. So if you get back to first round
Speaker 5: draft picks, it sounds like a lot but in the end,
Speaker 5: they're just lottery tickets, and odds will tell you that
Speaker 5: a team, if you have two first round picks, you'll
Speaker 5: hit on one out of two, and then one of
Speaker 5: the odds you have to hit on a pass rushers
Speaker 5: who's an all pro. So to me, if that trade
Speaker 5: goes down, you're looking at two first round picks, and
Speaker 5: I would want a starting player in return as well.
Speaker 5: Will anybody give up that much for him? I don't know,
Speaker 5: but I guess it seems like it's coming to a
Speaker 5: head before the league year starts, and we'll kind of
Speaker 5: see where that lands. If we asked me last week,
Speaker 5: I got it said, I didn't think it's going to happen,
Speaker 5: But last couple of days it seems like it's more
Speaker 5: progressing that way.
Speaker 4: You certainly know, you know what difference a quarterback makes,
Speaker 4: having been with Philip Rivers justin Herbert and then in
Speaker 4: Las Vegas, not necessarily having that franchise quarterback to lean
Speaker 4: on your thoughts on Fernando Mendoza felt like being at
Speaker 4: the combine in Indianapolis. Tom A lot of people were
Speaker 4: surprised when when he weighed in at two thirty six
Speaker 4: and kind of checks that justin Herbert, Josh Allen size
Speaker 4: box six, five thirty six, I think is what it was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was surprised too. I thought he would be
Speaker 5: more in the two twenty range, and he's you know,
Speaker 5: he's over sixty four two thirty five. He's a really
Speaker 5: thick lower body, and that's franchise quarterback. And you see
Speaker 5: with Justin I mean, even with the good offensive lines,
Speaker 5: you take hits back there, so you got to have
Speaker 5: some size to handle that. And Mendoza has that, and
Speaker 5: the Raiders for a long time since since Derek karr Leff,
Speaker 5: had been looking for a young quarterback, a young franchise
Speaker 5: quarterback to build around, and they're probably gonna be able
Speaker 5: to have that. Now, it's going to take some time.
Speaker 5: There's still a lot of holes that have to fill,
Speaker 5: certainly on defense. This past year they had a lot
Speaker 5: of one year contract and a lot of older players,
Speaker 5: so they're gonna have to loop some masssets on that
Speaker 5: side of the ball as well, but then continue to
Speaker 5: build around for Na Mendoza and upgrade the offensive line.
Speaker 5: So a lot of work to be done there. So
Speaker 5: that's why you can see why they probably are entertaining
Speaker 5: a little bit moving Max Crosby for a lot of
Speaker 5: picks and maybe other players because they have a lot
Speaker 5: of holes to fill. The biggest thing is don't fill
Speaker 5: the biggest hole with the quarterback this year in the draft,
Speaker 5: the one.
Speaker 2: And only Tom Telesco, our friend from Serious xam our
Speaker 2: GM brain on the Petros and Money Show. Tom. When
Speaker 2: the NFL combine happens, is there typically an overreaction from
Speaker 2: the GM types or does it just confirm something you
Speaker 2: usually already knew.
Speaker 5: It usually confirms that the whole notion that players are
Speaker 5: rising and falling at the combine really is not true.
Speaker 5: I mean usually the player is on the board where
Speaker 5: he's been a lot of the players that test very well,
Speaker 5: like the tight end at Oregon, Sadik, like everyone knew
Speaker 5: he was going to test well, So I don't think
Speaker 5: it's going to change anything.
Speaker 2: I figured he would test well when he would like
Speaker 2: hurdle it over like seven guys against in a big
Speaker 2: ten game. You know I'm pretty good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, track background and these an outstanding athlete. You can
Speaker 5: see it on the field. So most of these players
Speaker 5: that ran fast and tested well, they're players that were
Speaker 5: known to test well already. And as you saw this
Speaker 5: year the com a lot of players that knew they
Speaker 5: weren't going to run fast just didn't run. And we'll
Speaker 5: see if these players end up running or testing at
Speaker 5: their protags at their schools or not. I think that's
Speaker 5: part of the reason why there were so many fast times,
Speaker 5: because all the fast guys said, we'll run and the
Speaker 5: guys that don't run this fast that, you know what,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna wait on this one, so we'll see. But
Speaker 5: and then every now and then you get a player
Speaker 5: that does test better than you anticipated, and then you'll
Speaker 5: go back and you'll meet again with your scouts, kind
Speaker 5: of go to the tape again, so if you missed anything,
Speaker 5: and sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, but sometimes we'll
Speaker 5: give you a cross check as well.
Speaker 4: What the Rams have two first round picks, Tom, they
Speaker 4: got thirteen. I think twenty nine is the other one,
Speaker 4: or maybe it's thirty. But just kind of when you're
Speaker 4: that close to making Super Bowl, when you have a
Speaker 4: quarterback that just won the MVP and is I think
Speaker 4: thirty seven, Like, how do you how do you best
Speaker 4: use those draft picks? Do you do you trade one
Speaker 4: of them for We were talking about this yesterday at corner,
Speaker 4: Like maybe McDuffie if he's on the market, do you
Speaker 4: get more you know, there's some guys that are twenty four,
Speaker 4: twenty five years old, or are you cooking more at
Speaker 4: players like that with your first round draft picks. What's
Speaker 4: the proper way to use those when it feels like
Speaker 4: this is a team that is all chips to the
Speaker 4: center of the table for this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd keep pushing them in. But you can keep
Speaker 5: pushing them in by still using your two first round
Speaker 5: draft picks at positions that you feel they can come
Speaker 5: in and contribute right away. And that's maybe the one
Speaker 5: difference where there may be say he's got two players
Speaker 5: at assimilar position. One's more of a project that may
Speaker 5: take a couple of years, and other guy's probably a
Speaker 5: little bit more ready made. They may go a little
Speaker 5: bit more ready made player, but they don't have a
Speaker 5: ton of holes. But in the holes it to have,
Speaker 5: I think they can fix in the draft. Me corners
Speaker 5: one of them. This is a pretty good corner draft.
Speaker 5: There's no doubt they could use one. This is a
Speaker 5: really good receipt for draft and that at least in
Speaker 5: the first two rounds, maybe the first three rounds, and
Speaker 5: they can use another receiver next to Puka, and then
Speaker 5: you know Davonte Adams, who get a little bit closer
Speaker 5: to the end, but they add another receiver for that group.
Speaker 5: It's really deep at the tackle position, so it can
Speaker 5: line up for them where they can add some players
Speaker 5: without having to go trade for a veteran, which also
Speaker 5: brings salary into it. And I'm assuming with with Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 5: he'll probably have another contract adjustment this year is my assumption,
Speaker 5: So that's going to take up some cap space. So
Speaker 5: you know, would they look at the potential starting quarterback
Speaker 5: for down the road, that road that they draft this year?
Speaker 5: You know, the only one that fits that is ty Simpson.
Speaker 5: Will they know that road? I don't know. You know,
Speaker 5: they may just kind of push the can down with
Speaker 5: another year with Stafford and just kind of go from
Speaker 5: some position position players right and take a player like
Speaker 5: Simpson in the first round with one of their two
Speaker 5: first round picks. So we'll see if I can see
Speaker 5: them using their two foot their two ones on position players.
Speaker 2: What's going to happen to guys like to on Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: You know, there's so.
Speaker 5: Many teams right now that don't have to starting quarterbacks
Speaker 5: that we saw Kyler Murray is going to come out
Speaker 5: next week, Kyler Murray, You're gonna be able to get
Speaker 5: at the league minimum, which is for him. I think
Speaker 5: this over like one point five one point three million dollars.
Speaker 5: You're getting a starting quarterback at basically basically for free.
Speaker 5: Two will be the same way if he's released, because
Speaker 5: he has so much guaranteed money, and Cousins would be
Speaker 5: a little bit wary just on the age. You've actually
Speaker 5: played pretty well at the end of last year. But
Speaker 5: there's a lot of teams that need quarterbacks right now.
Speaker 5: There's really only one legitimate first round quarterback this year,
Speaker 5: and that's Mendoza, and we know he's going to go
Speaker 5: to the Raiders. There's not a lot of our places
Speaker 5: to go unless you want to sign with Lake Willis,
Speaker 5: who looks interesting but just has a really small body
Speaker 5: of work. So those guys are all going to find homes,
Speaker 5: and more than likely Kyler Murray will probably start somewhere
Speaker 5: this year, and two will probably compete for a job
Speaker 5: somewhere to start as a bridge quarterback. More than likely.
Speaker 4: Tom to LESCo with US, longtime general manager of the
Speaker 4: Chargers with the Raiders, spent time with the Colts for
Speaker 4: a long while when they were winning Super Bowls with
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning. You drafted Ion in the first round. He's
Speaker 4: up this year. Bradley Boseman retired. I assume they're going
Speaker 4: to cut their losses with Makai Beckton. If Zion's number
Speaker 4: is too big to bring him back. How hard is
Speaker 4: it for a team that also, I think is knocking
Speaker 4: on the door of that Super Bowl. That's where they
Speaker 4: think they are to find three interior linemen in the
Speaker 4: same offseason.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's some other teams going through just the same way.
Speaker 5: The Browns are going through a similar situation with more
Speaker 5: than three. They're looking at probably four or five new
Speaker 5: starters the way it is right now, Zion john says
Speaker 5: he's going to get paid and get paid a lot,
Speaker 5: and it's just it's a flying demand. There's so few
Speaker 5: good offensive climemen available, a lot of teams need them.
Speaker 5: So we'll see where that shakes out with the Chargers.
Speaker 5: This is a pretty good draft with interior linemen. It's
Speaker 5: not as strong as tackle, but you can find guards
Speaker 5: the second, third and fourth round. You can find centers
Speaker 5: in the third and fourth round. Now, the question is
Speaker 5: do you want to play with a lot of rookies
Speaker 5: on the offensive line in the year where the Chargers
Speaker 5: like they're so close, you know, to being a Super
Speaker 5: Bowl contender. So do you want to go that route.
Speaker 5: Look into your offensive line with a good guy in
Speaker 5: department like they have there. Especially on the pro side,
Speaker 5: you can find some players. There's gonna be some players
Speaker 5: released between now in the beginning of the league year.
Speaker 5: You know, if you find one opfensive lineman, that's that's
Speaker 5: kind of a cat casualty. You sign one of those guys,
Speaker 5: you find one UFA, you draft a guy, and all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you know you're ready to go. So
Speaker 5: you're going to have to attack it a number of
Speaker 5: different ways, maybe the possible trade. So when you have
Speaker 5: that many players in one position group to add, you
Speaker 5: just have to look at look at it from a
Speaker 5: lot of different perspectives. It's going to be greden seed,
Speaker 5: cap cuts, trades, and then draft and you'll put it
Speaker 5: all together that way.
Speaker 2: Fabulous perspective. Always from Tom to LESCo, our friend nine
Speaker 2: to noon Serious x M NFL Radio for that good

Speaker 4: discussion in the NBA is so they barely have zoobots.

Speaker 2: that's the owner of the Phoenix Suns. He's got a
Speaker 2: real problem with tanking. He doesn't like it.

Speaker 2: to have him beat off on the phone with that chick.
Speaker 2: Really bad scene. Yeah, that guy. I'd be pissed if I.
Speaker 4: Was that gotches life in college sports.
Speaker 2: I guess, like, you know, you hire a guy, you
Speaker 2: pay him all this money. He has all these slogans
Speaker 2: and recruits his ass off, wiggle him away from Colorado away.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even that good. And next thing you know,
Speaker 2: he's polishing the bishop on the phone with a rape
Speaker 2: counselor what's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 4: I'd say something that wouldn't be believed if it were
Speaker 4: written in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: But it's true, you know what, it's true. He couldn't
Speaker 2: believe this if it was in Hollywood, and it is.
Speaker 2: Jean Harlowe speaking of Hollywood, Matt a big time star
Speaker 2: from before our time. Oh Jean, Jean Harlowe, carpenter from
Speaker 2: Kansas City, your favorite town. She would have been one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen years old today, but dead. How long?
Speaker 2: What year do you think Jean Harlowe died?
Speaker 4: I'll go ninth when she would have been howled today?
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 4: I'll go nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: She's been dead since nineteen thirty seven. I'm sorry? What yep?
Speaker 4: Jean Horlow correct Harlow since thirty seven, the.
Speaker 2: Biggest star in Hollywood, basically ever, the one that inspired
Speaker 2: the look, has been dead since thirty seven. She died
Speaker 2: at the age of twenty six, twenty six. Her dad
Speaker 2: was a dentist, she's her nickname, and her mom was
Speaker 2: the daughter of a really rich Kansas City real estate guy.
Speaker 4: Kansas City real estate some of the finest real estate
Speaker 4: in all the land.
Speaker 2: Her nickname was Baby. The mom divorced and her and
Speaker 2: Jean came to Hollywood. Not for Jean to become an actress,
Speaker 2: but the mom thought she could make a run at him.
Speaker 2: Happens at thirty two. Mom was told listen, Gallia too old,
Speaker 2: but your daughter there, Well, it was over. They went
Speaker 2: back to Kansas City, and then she went to Ferry
Speaker 2: Hall School in Chicago. She ended up married to an Air,
Speaker 2: a very rich guy from that school, at seventeen, and
Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty eight she moved back to la as
Speaker 2: a young socialite rich girl and became an extra in movies.
Speaker 2: Her husband disapproved, so she left him. Howard Hughes signed
Speaker 2: Chase My Dream. Howard Hughes signed her, and she ended
Speaker 2: up marrying an MGM executive for her second marriage. Her
Speaker 2: first movie, Hell's Angels, ended up being nineteen thirty's highest
Speaker 2: grossing film of the year. Her huge rack and blonde
Speaker 2: hair made her a star. MGM loaned her out and
Speaker 2: she did more stuff Jimmy Cagney in The Public Enemy,
Speaker 2: Clark Gable, and Iron Man. She's basically Matt the original
Speaker 2: platinum blonde chick. So if you ever see a woman
Speaker 2: with platinum blonde hair and red lipstick, you think Marilyn Monroe,
Speaker 2: But originally it's Harlowe who inspired Marilyn Monroe. Because Harlowe
Speaker 2: was such a big deal and so well liked. She
Speaker 2: dated a mobster named Abner'swilman, who bought her a red
Speaker 2: Cadillac and a bejeweled bracelet. He gave her his townhouse
Speaker 2: and his racing horses. She basically destroyed her hair every
Speaker 2: week with bleach and ammonia and luxe soap flakes, which
Speaker 2: made women do that all over the country, like the
Speaker 2: Kylie Jenner poofy lips.
Speaker 4: That's why we had a whole generation of bald women.
Speaker 2: In nineteen or in her twenty first birthday, they bought
Speaker 2: her contract from Hughes. Louis b. Mayer bought her contract
Speaker 2: from Howard Hughes, and she became the world's biggest star
Speaker 2: with a really quick run till she was twenty six.
Speaker 2: Her look was the inspiration for Madonna, even Gwen Stefani.
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, I could see that there
Speaker 2: is a Jean Harlowe cocktail equal parts sweet vermouth and rum.
Speaker 2: She got sick when she was fifteen at a summer camp,
Speaker 2: one of those weird Midwestern summer cap things. She got
Speaker 2: scarlet fever and it came back in her twenties, when
Speaker 2: she was campaigning for FDR and when she was filming
Speaker 2: what would be her last movie with Clark Gable Saratoga.
Speaker 2: She is very sick. She died of kidney failure at
Speaker 2: twenty six in nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 4: I think it's just you look at her and it's
Speaker 4: you know, it's like our high school years. We looked
Speaker 4: like we were thirty. Well, harletwe looks like she's forty.
Speaker 2: She played a hard, hard edged She wasn't like. She
Speaker 2: didn't play like an innocent, giggling woman, right. She played
Speaker 2: like a hard etched gangster girlfriend type of chick, hence
Speaker 2: the platinum blonde hair. Yeah, you know, only twenty six,
Speaker 2: but married four.
Speaker 4: Times, living hard.
Speaker 2: Her last husband was the great actor William Powell. Oh
Speaker 2: from the Nick and Nora. I love the thin Man
Speaker 2: Sure movies. I've shown you the thin Man movies, yes
Speaker 2: you have, and the books dash O Hammett.
Speaker 4: You know they wear the hats with the nets over
Speaker 4: the eye. They just look old, like I'm looking at
Speaker 4: a photo of her and bid headed woman and she
Speaker 4: looks like she's fifty.
Speaker 2: Harlow's been played, Gwen Stefani played and the Aviator, the
Speaker 2: Howard Yes Movie and Sharon Stone and Echo.
Speaker 4: For Stefani, that launch her acting career. That one shot
Speaker 4: she got was she.
Speaker 2: I don't think she was like a cameo. She didn't speak,
Speaker 2: it's probably for the best, and don't speak that.
Speaker 4: I just stand in the best.
Speaker 2: Sharon Stone also played there. Okay, yeah, uh so anyway,
Speaker 2: Jean Harlowe. Very interesting story. And to think that that
Speaker 2: look is still a big thing. You know, they'll dress
Speaker 2: up Billy Elsh like that or something and slapp her
Speaker 2: on the cover of the magazine or even punk. Ask
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian, who's hanging out with Lewis Hamilton and.
Speaker 4: Has the private Jett has it left? Has her private
Speaker 4: jet left for Australia? Is it in round the Kardashian Express.
