Speaker 2: I'm great and not disappointed that I'm not following you
Speaker 2: to the Intuit Dome tonight, fresh off another appearance in
Speaker 2: Eugene last night. I've lost count of how many times
Speaker 2: I've been there this year, maybe four, triple that.
Speaker 1: Wow, twelve times in Eugene.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's twelve, but it's it's nine or ten.
Speaker 1: So you're becoming very familiar with the entire area of Eugene,
Speaker 1: organ not that you already weren't familiar with it, because
Speaker 1: walking the Pac twelve Trail, I.
Speaker 2: Never went to the Sweet Cheeks Winery before. I found
Speaker 2: a Cheeba hut in Eugene, which is commer for a while,
Speaker 2: but went for the first time yesterday.
Speaker 1: Have you been to a cheeba hut in California or
Speaker 1: is it only a traveling thing for you?
Speaker 2: In this traveling thing, I don't even know where they
Speaker 2: are in California. But the one in Tucson I went to,
Speaker 2: then it shut down, then it reopened. I've been to
Speaker 2: the tim b one a couple of times, but yeah,
Speaker 2: found the Eugene one yesterday. Went with Guy Haberman, who
Speaker 2: with last night.
Speaker 1: I know Guy, he's a new father, is he not?
Speaker 2: He is November and so had a pretty good game
Speaker 2: last night. Oregon actually knocked off Wisconsin, which was surprising
Speaker 2: based on the year that Oregon has had. But yeah,
Speaker 2: eight o'clock tip, seven am flight not a great combo, no,
Speaker 2: but we deal with it.
Speaker 1: So what do you I mean, you're you're one hundred
Speaker 1: feet tall. You can't sleep on the prop plane back
Speaker 1: from Eugene. Well, it's not a prop plane anymore, regular
Speaker 1: play remember the prop? Oh yeah, yeah. So it took
Speaker 1: like two and a half hours to get to Eugene.
Speaker 1: But there was free beer and wine, and you'd stop
Speaker 1: in Redmond, you stop in Medford, Medford. I hated that flight.
Speaker 1: I absolutely hated that flight. It's like, why does it
Speaker 1: take It's like flag across the country. But we're a
Speaker 1: propeller plane going to eugen So did you go to
Speaker 1: sleep dawn on the plane or did you go did
Speaker 1: you take a nap when you went home? I know
Speaker 1: you had to do a lot of preparation to be
Speaker 1: a great sports talk today. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: crossing of the t's and dotting of the eyes to
Speaker 1: do great sports talk.
Speaker 2: I got a little sleep last night and then a
Speaker 2: little bit on the plane, and I'm good. I'm ready
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we do have a fine show lined up.
Speaker 1: We are going to talk to Don McClain about basketball,
Speaker 1: because he is our basketball expert. And if we bring
Speaker 1: him in for three hours today, that means he's not
Speaker 1: going to join us tomorrow. So we'll ask Don the
Speaker 1: basketball questions. I guess that we were going to ask
Speaker 1: him yesterday, I mean tomorrow today, If that makes sense.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you did. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you did enough research to do that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean to answer those questions.
Speaker 2: Accusing me of doing research for this show.
Speaker 1: No, I would never, but I will say this earlier today.
Speaker 1: We will talk to David Vase in the next hour
Speaker 1: live from camel Back Ranch, and I went to now
Speaker 1: David Vassy. There's like three places around Dodger Stadium that
Speaker 1: Vassay kind of claims as his own. They're not his,
Speaker 1: but he claims them as his own. One is the
Speaker 1: Mexicali Taco Company on Figaroa right past Sunset or Caesar
Speaker 1: Chavez whatever it's called. That place, So right past where
Speaker 1: Figaroa is, you know, going into downtown, right past there,
Speaker 1: there's Mexicali Tacos next to that old theater. Dave likes
Speaker 1: to go there. He likes to go to Lessort It's
Speaker 1: which is like a pizza, sandwich Dodger themed place in Chinatown.
Speaker 1: I've never been there. And he likes to go to
Speaker 1: the coffee place right next to the Mexicali taco company
Speaker 1: called Aquella Ria or something. It's in a Brazilian coffee place,
Speaker 1: and those are Dave spots. And I've been to the
Speaker 1: coffee place with him and the Mexican place with him,
Speaker 1: and every once in a while I'll go to the
Speaker 1: Mexican place without him and take a picture of myself
Speaker 1: at the Mexican place, and he gets butt hurt. Why
Speaker 1: because he feels like that's his place and like he
Speaker 1: found that place, so I'm not allowed. Good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good taco play. I like tacos, you know.
Speaker 1: It's a good Mexican taco place with real Mexican people
Speaker 1: eating there, and the fresh waters and all the many
Speaker 1: things that we enjoy from our friends of the South
Speaker 1: and this area, of course, which also used to be Mexico. Now.
Speaker 1: Dave gets real butt hurt when I send him a picture,
Speaker 1: and I sent him a picture today of myself inside
Speaker 1: the place waiting for my burrito, and Dave called me an.
Speaker 2: Impostor on the text an impostor.
Speaker 1: He called me an impostor and tried to say that's
Speaker 1: not real, and that's you're a fake. You know all
Speaker 1: the things that he likes to say to me. And
Speaker 1: I want to say this, and I would never mention
Speaker 1: this to anybody ever, because I don't do this. I
Speaker 1: talk to people all the time, and I never say
Speaker 1: a word about it on the air because I don't
Speaker 1: like the way it sounds. But I'm going to say
Speaker 1: it right now because I want to stick it to Dave.
Speaker 1: Two different people came up to me and said, I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of the radio show, or hey, are
Speaker 1: you still doing TV for Fox or whatever? Like two
Speaker 1: people came up to me there and said hello, and
Speaker 1: do you know who? They didn't mention Dave at all.
Speaker 1: Dave was not mentioned at all, And that is what
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't care what happened with the ad
Speaker 1: glass and yeah, high song Cam hit a home run
Speaker 1: at camp or whatever. We didn't carry the game today.
Speaker 1: That is secondary to the fact you think Da've forgotten
Speaker 1: Dave at his place And now I'm the big dog
Speaker 1: at the Mexicali Taco Company.
Speaker 2: Because this is what I do. When I come in here,
Speaker 2: I ask questions. So does Dave normally get approached by
Speaker 2: people when he goes? I have no idea, and I
Speaker 2: don't because that's probably why he's mad. I am very
Speaker 2: rarely approached at all anywhere. But I was approached at
Speaker 2: the MEXICALI twice and one of them was a woman
Speaker 2: in a dress. And Dave's got to wear that. Yeh,
Speaker 2: he's got to wear that on his birthing. You know
Speaker 2: what he'll do too, He'll boycott that place. He'll never
Speaker 2: go back. Now you think, so, yeah, bet, I don't
Speaker 2: go there anymore. Well, you know where I'm supposed to
Speaker 2: go tonight? Where into it Dome? How many times would
Speaker 2: you say in your yes? How many times? Because the
Speaker 2: Clippers are playing tonight?
Speaker 1: Right? And you know me, I like go to all
Speaker 1: the sporting events and you know, just to show my
Speaker 1: face because.
Speaker 2: You're hoping people approach you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the Clippers. Yeah, the Clippers are playing tonight
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock is the tip off. Pregame is at six,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna high tail it over there. I have
Speaker 1: to do a promotional thing for Toyota, and uh, I'm
Speaker 1: going down to the end too. It don't. But this
Speaker 1: might surprise you that, Uh, I can't get anybody to
Speaker 1: go with me? No way, I got two extra tickets.
Speaker 1: I asked Colin to go with me, and he like paused,
Speaker 1: like he was trying to think of an excuse and
Speaker 1: he couldn't get an excuse out. And I was just like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, like, doesn't anybody want to be wanted?
Speaker 1: Like wouldn't. I mean, I know Kawhi Leonard is doing
Speaker 1: load management tonight, but I still feel as if it's
Speaker 1: an important Like, I mean, it's an important event to haven't.
Speaker 2: Let's try one more time, asked me, if I want
Speaker 2: to go tonight, don would.
Speaker 1: You like to accompany me on my trip to the

Speaker 2: at Saint.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was not playing, okay, but still you're there
Speaker 1: supporting your son.

Speaker 2: my kids weren't involved, and I wasn't getting paid to
Speaker 2: be there.
Speaker 1: Like if somebody said, like, don I got I got
Speaker 1: court side seats to the Lakers, come on down. Okay.
Speaker 2: I mean I've been to Dodger games, I've been to
Speaker 2: a Rams game in the last couple of years, but
Speaker 2: I have not been a basketball game that my kids
Speaker 2: haven't been involved or I'm not working in a long time.
Speaker 1: Colin, you have nothing to do tonight. You have nothing
Speaker 1: going on tonight. You're not going, you're not married, you

Speaker 2: of year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I will be talking during the uh
Speaker 1: Toyota activation. They got like a cord out there and
Speaker 1: they have all kinds of stupid stuff set up. And

Speaker 1: idiot monkey And you don't want to come and do
Speaker 1: some ball handling drills? Yeah for the people. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I get my colones out there do my stuff. Okay.

Speaker 3: half of Not Quite Ringside, for our boxing show. We're
Speaker 3: preparing for a boxing show on Saturday.

Speaker 2: first quarter.
Speaker 1: I mean, sam It's not like Sammy Long's not like
Speaker 1: what hey, Sammy, I'll call you later. You know, like
Speaker 1: what you can't do that. You can't reschedule a call
Speaker 1: with Sammy Long, let alone the coach of Hills, who's

Speaker 3: to Bible study at South Bay Community Church. Our the
Speaker 3: man just Bible study start. It starts at seven thirty,
Speaker 3: And well.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna talk to the guy the coach
Speaker 1: at Laguna Hills or whatever?
Speaker 2: Phone speaker phone.
Speaker 1: That's the CaAl I have.
Speaker 3: That's the problem I have is that I we have
Speaker 3: it on zoom as well, if you can't make it
Speaker 3: on in person. So I was planning to go.
Speaker 1: If I had on zoom, if I had tickets and
Speaker 1: a Toyota promotion thing night and there was a Laker game,
Speaker 1: would you go to that? Would you change your plans
Speaker 1: for that? I could see you totally doing that.
Speaker 2: Laker game.
Speaker 3: No, I I still have to have to stick to
Speaker 3: my commitments.
Speaker 2: Pete.
Speaker 3: If I okay, if I had nothing going on and
Speaker 3: I didn't have two basketball games to call on Saturday, he.
Speaker 2: Still wouldn't go.
Speaker 1: Don I would go. I'm just kind of sad i'd
Speaker 1: be there. Here's a young broadcaster with an opportunity to
Speaker 1: spend time with me. Petros Papadakis of The pett.
Speaker 3: Someone bet I interviewed when I was in seventh grade.
Speaker 2: Right, something you have to take in consideration, though, calling
Speaker 2: is p will be out of there after the first quarter.
Speaker 1: It'll be pretty quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're not even even if you wanted to go,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't even get to see the whole game.
Speaker 1: It stay as long as he wants to give him
Speaker 1: a ride. I just said I had a ticket for him.
Speaker 1: I bet you, Ronni would Ronnie? Would you go? The
Speaker 1: show's over at six? Would you want to go? Ronnie?
Speaker 4: Not today?
Speaker 1: Petros? Why not? Ronnie? What do you got? You gotta
Speaker 1: wash your hair?
Speaker 4: Well? First of all, you know I'm your third option
Speaker 4: and you're actually not. We went to like being the
Speaker 4: third option. We have an extra ticket for you, ron
Speaker 4: Not to mention the fact that it's the Clipper game.
Speaker 4: You and Colin could come now if it were the Lakers,
Speaker 4: then you know, perhaps maybe we could talk a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, the Lakers don't have a Toyota activation there playing tonight.
Speaker 1: My point is that no one wants to go with me.
Speaker 3: I do want to see the new stadium. I heard
Speaker 3: it's state of the art.
Speaker 1: He's never seen this. I saw Don one broadcaster.
Speaker 3: I saw Don at uh what was that a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago at the Crypt he was he was
Speaker 3: doing a broadcast there.
Speaker 1: And that time I saw you at the Crypt at
Speaker 1: the Clipper game. That one time, Don, Remember that one
Speaker 1: time you saw Colin that one time there?
Speaker 4: Now, Petros, if you had a couple of tickets to
Speaker 4: go see whacked a Hatchie, I mean that's that's a
Speaker 4: horse of a different color, then well yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I have a promotional thing. I've been
Speaker 1: given to it. It's an NBA game. It is a
Speaker 1: state of the art stadium. I know it's a load
Speaker 1: management night, but I think it does tell a tale
Speaker 1: of the lack of popularity of the Clippers, or my
Speaker 1: lack of popularity.
Speaker 2: Well, you're just gonna have to wear it, pee, You're
Speaker 2: you're on your own.
Speaker 1: You can I have an Ethiopian social media Mats's yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not sweating it. I'm just saying, imagine if I
Speaker 1: had like a gang an Asian guy, an Ethiopian guy,
Speaker 1: and then a six foot ten guy, and Dawn and
Speaker 1: then me fat weird looking job of the hut Greek
Speaker 1: just walking strutting into the across the bridge at the
Speaker 1: end of it dome, going up those steps, descending those steps.
Speaker 1: It would be like staying alive strutting around town, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, imagine that Ethiopian map right
Speaker 1: Who's got a different vibe because of the Ethiopian vibe,
Speaker 1: which is a different vibe calling Chinese Japanese. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of Asia knocked out right there. And then Dawn
Speaker 1: gives us what basketball legitimacy? And here's me, the admiral
Speaker 1: of great sports talk, great sports talk. Oh, we could
Speaker 1: be snapping our fingers like the Jets or the Sharks. Man.
Speaker 4: I could just imagine how many people would actually go
Speaker 4: up to you. Oh my god, how much of the
Speaker 4: enjoy the show.
Speaker 1: I could see it.
Speaker 4: That happens all the time with Matt.
Speaker 1: He does. And you know what, I'm gonna start reporting
Speaker 1: when it happens to me now, and maybe if I'm
Speaker 1: able to tell everybody how popular I am, they'll start
Speaker 1: believing me and come with me to the Clipper Go.
Speaker 1: I would just you know, I've known Colin a long time.
Speaker 1: I don't remember when he interviewed me when he was
Speaker 1: in seventh grade, but I do remember Calin, you know
Speaker 1: from what we've known each other now for ten years.
Speaker 1: And you get an opportunity to spend time with Petros Papadakus.
Speaker 3: And you turned that down, and you're.
Speaker 1: Turning it down.
Speaker 2: I mean Laguna Hills High School basketball.
Speaker 1: Co right, Like that guy can't call you in the
Speaker 1: morning and be like, yeah, this is a guy who
Speaker 1: good mid range guy.
Speaker 2: So tell me who your best player is.
Speaker 1: Like, really, you get an opportunity to spend time with me,
Speaker 1: Petro's Papadakas.
Speaker 3: I mean seventh grade calling, you would have been over
Speaker 3: the moon.
Speaker 1: Right, He would have changed the he would have changed.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, is the polished that much off the
Speaker 1: puzzo that you that you don't want to go? You
Speaker 1: know that you can't even like Ronnie doesn't want to
Speaker 1: go over it?
Speaker 3: P No, No, you know, Petros, if I say had
Speaker 3: one day in advance, you told me, hey, let's go
Speaker 3: to the game, I would have cleared my schedule.
Speaker 1: I would have been there.
Speaker 2: You know what it is pe around here. These guys
Speaker 2: come in here, they're hungry, they want to get into business,
Speaker 2: and then once they start going on the once I
Speaker 2: feed him a little, is not even the same guy anymore.
Speaker 1: No, he's like my lizard, you know, my lizard. I
Speaker 1: feed my lizard every day, and she's gotten so fat
Speaker 1: and happy that now like I have to like push
Speaker 1: a worm like right by her face for her to like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, like she won't even take two steps to
Speaker 1: go eat. And that's you, guys. That's you, guys. I've
Speaker 1: done you guys at disservice with introducing you to Great
Speaker 1: Sports Talk and letting you guys into the great sports
Speaker 1: Talk failing Great Sports Talk. Not you, Ronnie, You've been
Speaker 1: here the whole time. If you don't want to go
Speaker 1: to the game, that's fine. But Colin Yee, a young
Speaker 1: whipper snapper like that, unmarried, filled with piss and vinegar,
Speaker 1: would rather go to Bible study talk to the Laguna
Speaker 1: Hills coach than to spend the night with Petros Papadaka don't.
Speaker 3: Forget Sammy Long not quite ringside, and you.
Speaker 4: Know, call and think about this. You could possibly meet
Speaker 4: your future wife at tonight's game.
Speaker 2: That's a great point, Ronnie, that is a great point.
Speaker 1: Like one of the Clipper spirits.
Speaker 4: Maybe she has a Bible in her purse you have
Speaker 4: to do there you go.
Speaker 1: We would hit it off right away.
Speaker 4: It's just the new test and you guys can go
Speaker 4: outside and pray for the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bible just drops out of her purse and
Speaker 2: right behind her.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me? I believe you drive something. Oh

Speaker 1: father in law lives close to in the Virginia?
Speaker 2: I will make I will make a note of it
Speaker 2: to get you an answer.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, it wasn't top of mind when I got
Speaker 1: home last week?
Speaker 2: No offense?
Speaker 1: What was don? Not that geez cure about dealers? Your
Speaker 1: voice of me knowing that is what happened? All right? Finally,
Speaker 1: this is not related to you. Did you know about
Speaker 1: the Ac Slater episode that we talked about, Don, You
Speaker 1: weren't there for that unveiling and Saved by the Bell?
Speaker 1: The College Years? You're familiar with the show? Yes, Ac
Speaker 1: Slater meets a chick who's like a Chicano studies chick,
Speaker 1: a Chicano studies like a like a militant Mexican chick,
Speaker 1: kind of hot, sounds like Dora. And she tells Ac Slater, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up with you and your dark ass skin? You
Speaker 1: don't look like a Slater to me. You're a Latino
Speaker 1: and Slaters. Yes, Slater's like what and she's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: look at your skin. How come you're ten all year long? Eh?
Speaker 1: And he's like all freaked out and he starts getting
Speaker 1: into Chicano studies and Zach Morris John Paul Gossler says
Speaker 1: to him, like, you know what is all the chicanoss
Speaker 1: is like, I'm Chicano. I guess you never cared. He's like,
Speaker 1: you didn't care either. You know what, you didn't even
Speaker 1: tell anybody, but that chick told Slater right there. She
Speaker 1: is telling him that he's a Latino. And I just
Speaker 1: got a text that says, ever since my blonde haired
Speaker 1: ashkar Nazi Jewish girlfriend heard the saved by the Bell bit,
Speaker 1: every time she tells me to do something with manual
Speaker 1: labor involved, I ask her why me and not her?
Speaker 1: And she now responds with your Latino, you guys created
Speaker 1: a monster, And he wrote, technically, She's right. I am
Speaker 1: a dark skinned Mexican. So I'm sorry that we didn't
Speaker 1: play that for you, don but it's one of the
Speaker 1: great episodes. It's called Slater's War. Slater's War and you
Speaker 1: can buy it for like one ninety nine on Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime and enjoy that twenty five minutes or twenty two minutes. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got a full night tonight. When I get home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: find out the Civil War battlefield in Virginia that your
Speaker 1: father in law naves that live next to Hey, what's
Speaker 1: it like hosting sports talk radio in Los Angeles? Not
Speaker 1: like you'd think. Let's just tell you right now. It's
Speaker 1: not like you think, guys, But I do want to
Speaker 1: ask you about some pro basketball stuff. Don since we're
Speaker 1: here and I'm the only one tonight headed too a
Speaker 1: pro basketball game. I work in sports in LA. I
Speaker 1: do my due diligence. I show up at events once
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 2: But do you call two high school basketball games on
Speaker 2: a Saturday and have a.
Speaker 1: Conference call with the Laguna Hills coach and have a
Speaker 1: special conference call with Sammy Long to talk about combat
Speaker 1: sports deep into the evening.
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't, and then throwing a Bible study
Speaker 2: to boot.
Speaker 1: No, but I will attend half of a quarter of
Speaker 1: an NBA game the sons of bitches. So nobody talked
Speaker 1: to me about anything. Don't say anything to me because
Speaker 1: I I'm the proprietor a great sports talk in this city.
Speaker 1: Nobody plays the foosball in this time without my permission.
Speaker 1: Great sports talk all right, Don, The Lakers are headed
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. Lebron is out there saying mean
Speaker 1: things about Luca on the side, Luca's out there foul
Speaker 1: baiting and yelling at the refs. DeAndre Ayton doesn't want
Speaker 1: to play, says they're trying to turn him into Clint Capella.
Speaker 1: They've lost two straight. It feels like they're in this
Speaker 1: weird holding pattern, waiting for Lebron to leave. What the
Speaker 1: hell's going on, Don, Let's have something that happen.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Pete, because I've been coming on your
Speaker 2: show for so long, I never, or at least I
Speaker 2: try not to rush to judgment on anything.
Speaker 1: While you are always very very measured when it comes
Speaker 1: to saying. Although with the Clippers this year, you did
Speaker 1: tell me that they weren't going to win it all.
Speaker 1: I mean you were very quick, well very quick to
Speaker 1: judgment there, and so you kind of wait to see
Speaker 1: if things materialize. You wait to see if things change
Speaker 1: as a season goes on. But we've been talking about
Speaker 1: their defense from the start, and so I wasn't quick
Speaker 1: to judge. Maybe they'll get better, maybe they'll have a
Speaker 1: different scheme, maybe guys will buy in more whatever it is,
Speaker 1: and it just hasn't happened. I mean, they're just not
Speaker 1: good enough defensively to talk about them in the same vein.
Speaker 1: Is the teams at the top Denver, OKC teams like
Speaker 1: that and so. And I've asked a question of you
Speaker 1: guys and myself. Is it personnel? Is it scheme? Is
Speaker 1: it the coaching?
Speaker 2: You know? Is it individual? They're just not good defenders.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's the scheme. I think it's just
Speaker 2: they don't have guys that are great defenders, and collectively
Speaker 2: that makes them not a good defensive team. And that's
Speaker 2: why they're you know, they're a playoff team for sure.
Speaker 2: But I don't think we can keep talking about them
Speaker 2: contending anymore. I just unless something changes, which I don't
Speaker 2: see happening this late in the season.
Speaker 1: How much of is it to do with new ownership,
Speaker 1: Obviously that's been in the works for some time. It's
Speaker 1: changing hands, Lawn Rosen is moving in, Tim Harris is
Speaker 1: moving out. You know, all that stuff is in the
Speaker 1: process of happening. Those wheels are turning. They're waiting for Lebron.
Speaker 2: To be done.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to do anything while he's still there.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like trying to fill sour yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and just everything right, all the attention, everything he says,
Speaker 1: all the side eyes and all that stuff. It's it's
Speaker 1: like trying to build your house around an elephant. So
Speaker 1: it is a lot of their problems due to that,
Speaker 1: just kind of the awkward transitional moment they're in.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think they'd be this team
Speaker 2: even if the team didn't get sold. I think the
Speaker 2: Lebron thing is is solid because I think what it's
Speaker 2: going to become, which everybody knows, is going to be
Speaker 2: Luca's team, and then they build around Luca and try
Speaker 2: and put enough players around him that they can contend.
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't watch a ton of Laker games,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't seem like there's great cohesion between Luke
Speaker 2: and Lebron just watching them play. Forget what they're saying
Speaker 2: off the court or what they're not saying or whatever,
Speaker 2: just watching them play, I just don't think that there's
Speaker 2: enough room for both of them to really be at
Speaker 2: their best individually. And so I guess they are in
Speaker 2: that kind of holding pattern to see what Lebron's gonna
Speaker 2: do after this year, and then they can move on
Speaker 2: and start to build their roster around Luca and see
Speaker 2: if they can't, you know, with the money that Lebron makes,
Speaker 2: which he deserves, you know, but that's a lot of money,
Speaker 2: a lot of cap space you're gonna get if he's
Speaker 2: off the books after this year.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. I watched some of the
Speaker 1: Celtic game last night, and of course the Celtics were
Speaker 1: in town over the weekend playing the Lakers, beating up
Speaker 1: on the Lakers pretty bad on the pat Riley Statue night.
Speaker 1: And that guy from Cal Jalen Brown, the guy with
Speaker 1: the painted on hair, and he had like a high
Speaker 1: flat top at Cal. Right, Yep, that happened like that
Speaker 1: went away? Quid Yeah, that that thing must have flown
Speaker 1: off his head on the plane to Boston. Like what happened?
Speaker 1: I don't know, But obviously their best player, Tatum is out.
Speaker 1: Does it surprise you that Boston is such a contender
Speaker 1: without their best player? And that and that? Can you
Speaker 1: describe that Brown guy style of play? It seems like
Speaker 1: a seems like a really unique kind of weird player.
Speaker 1: And is that his hair gets on everybody? He apol
Speaker 1: his hand on everybody. I spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: around him in high school. He was an Adidas guy,
Speaker 1: so he came to all the grassroots stuff that we did.
Speaker 1: And he he's always been very strong like and that's
Speaker 1: an under People don't talk about that enough, like strength,
Speaker 1: Like Michael Jordan's the strongest guy ever played against. And
Speaker 1: I think Jalen Brown's that way too. When you're that strong,
Speaker 1: defenders just bounce off you. They can't get underneath you.
Speaker 1: And he's improved as a shooter. He wasn't a good
Speaker 1: shooter coming out of high school, wasn't a good shooter
Speaker 1: at Cal, but has developed into a really good three
Speaker 1: point shooter. And I think that's expanded his entire offensive game.
Speaker 1: But I don't think anyone would argue that he's the
Speaker 1: best two way player in the game right now, offense
Speaker 1: and defense. He at least thinks he is, but I
Speaker 1: would I'd like to hear somebody that's better offensively and
Speaker 1: defensively than him. But he's like, you're gonna see him tonight,
Speaker 1: however long you stay. But Anthony Edwards from Minnesota, same thing,
Speaker 1: like I remember watching him. I had an Arizona State,
Speaker 1: Georgia game non con like December, and he was already
Speaker 1: being talked about the number one pick. And I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: a six or five guy from Georgia's a number one pick.
Speaker 1: And it's hard to see people on TV and really
Speaker 1: see it, but I was seeing him in person and
Speaker 1: you just saw that what I just said, like, he
Speaker 1: was so strong in college that you just know that
Speaker 1: that translates and he's become one of the best players
Speaker 1: in the league. So that's kind of my point with
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. He's so strong. It was even back then
Speaker 1: that that translates. Now it's does your skill catch up
Speaker 1: with your athleticism and your strength. It's interesting because over
Speaker 1: the years we've watched the Clippers make decision after decision
Speaker 1: and then you wait to see how they pan out.
Speaker 1: And obviously Paul George, James Hard and Kawhi all that stuff,
Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't pan out. And then you look
Speaker 1: at the Lakers situation and Lebron and Anthony Davis and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and it didn't pan out. And they're
Speaker 1: all run by front offices and the plan that they
Speaker 1: have is the Celtics and oksee and who the Pistons
Speaker 1: and this like who's got who's running the best franchise
Speaker 1: in the end? Are those the names? Right? I mean,
Speaker 1: the Pistons are a lot of fun to watch, they're
Speaker 1: mean as hell.
Speaker 2: The main decision makers Brad Stevens in Boston, Sam Presty
Speaker 2: and Oklahoma City. Trying to think of some others Joe
Speaker 2: Dumars not anymore, the Pelicans. But I think the culture
Speaker 2: set from the top usually and it trickles down. But
Speaker 2: if you have a president that that really gets and
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens is like genius level, same with Sam Presty,
Speaker 2: genius level, like the way they look at basketball, and
Speaker 2: I think it starts there with who they bring in
Speaker 2: the level of scouting's not the right word, like intel
Speaker 2: that they try and get on guys. Like there's stories
Speaker 2: about Sam Presty and what he does to really get
Speaker 2: a true snapshot picture of who guys are of like
Speaker 2: having some of his people hiding out in hotels watching
Speaker 2: a college team come in to see how the guy interacts,
Speaker 2: like stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Because that makes all the difference when you're building a
Speaker 1: pro basketball.
Speaker 2: Team and you can't have asheads high strung guys. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so I just think that that you know that
Speaker 2: level of understanding and homework is how you build good
Speaker 2: teams that are sustainable, and those are two great examples
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Hey, don you seem to know a lot about basketball?
Speaker 1: Would you like to maybe accompany me, your friend petros
Speaker 1: Papadakas to the Clipper game tonight and into a dome.
Speaker 1: I got two tickets to Paradise and we could pack
Speaker 1: our bags and leave tonight right after the show.
Speaker 2: What do you say?
Speaker 1: No? Is it me? Is it the Clippers? Is it
Speaker 1: the drive?
Speaker 2: Uh? I have a call?
Speaker 1: Do you have a call with the with the Oaks
Speaker 1: Christian basketball coach? We'll be back with mar.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: Rip Eddie Money, former guest of the Petrosen Money Show
Speaker 1: multiple times.
Speaker 2: I remember that friend of the show.
Speaker 1: When I was sitting here next to Eddie Money, I
Speaker 1: looked around and I said, I'd made it, guys, finally
Speaker 1: I'd made it. And now some years later, Eddie's in
Speaker 1: his grave and no one will come with me to
Speaker 1: the Clipper game. Age makes fools of us all.
Speaker 2: Are you saying that if you invited Eddie Money, if
Speaker 2: he was in studio today, he would have gone with
Speaker 2: you tonight to the game.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how he would deny me
Speaker 1: if I told him my head two tickets to Paradise,
Speaker 1: grab a shovel d mac and then I've been waiting
Speaker 1: so long. Lord Petrosen Money on AM five seventy Still
Speaker 1: look you're listening to Petrosen Money on AM five seventy.
Speaker 1: LA Sports. Matt money Smith is out today. He was
Speaker 1: sick yesterday and he was on, but he was sick.
Speaker 1: Sounded a little rough. Yeah, we got through it. We
Speaker 1: played a lot of your latinos and Tim Kas. Tim
Speaker 1: Kates is out as well in Arizona with family. Don McClain,
Speaker 1: the one and only is here and two guys that
Speaker 1: do not want to go with me to the Clipper
Speaker 1: game tonight, even though I have tickets, good tickets.
Speaker 2: Did anybody volunteer to go? On the textoso, Yes, I
Speaker 2: assume so.
Speaker 1: And then one guy's like, I'll go with you, and
Speaker 1: then was like, you know what, I can't make it
Speaker 1: like I've heard a few a few people are trying
Speaker 1: to mess with me. But one guy wrote this, petros
Speaker 1: who would want to go to a basketball game with you?
Speaker 1: You hate basketball? That's not true. I don't hate basketball
Speaker 1: at all. If Hoosiers comes on, I watched the whole thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: if teen Wolf comes on, I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And those are the two best basketball movies of all time,
Speaker 1: bar none. No one argues that. I mean, that's, you know,
Speaker 1: set in Stone. So I like basketball. Don McClain's one
Speaker 1: of my very close friends. Won't go anywhere with me?
Speaker 1: But Don McClain is one of my very close friends.
Speaker 1: We've known each other twenty plus years.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I wouldn't go anywhere with you. I
Speaker 2: just wouldn't go.
Speaker 1: To Don McClain said to me full disclosure during the break,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say he can get mad at me
Speaker 1: if he wants. He said to me, you could you
Speaker 1: could be getting ten grand from Toyota going there tonight
Speaker 1: and split it with me, and I still wouldn't go
Speaker 1: with you. That is what he volunteered that I didn't say, like,
Speaker 1: come on, Dawn, I didn't say that or anything. We
Speaker 1: went to break, he said, and then it's like, well,
Speaker 1: what are we doing knocking out two three hours a
Speaker 1: night with Clipper programming?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 1: One if I got two tickets to Paradise and I
Speaker 1: can't even get young burgeoning sports broadcast types like Colin
Speaker 1: Yee to come with me and enjoy the game. I
Speaker 1: just to me, that's kind of crazy, not to mention
Speaker 1: the fact that my family doesn't want to go with it.
Speaker 2: Colin, you need an analyst for your games this weekend
Speaker 2: on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Oh, it'd be great. I would love one.
Speaker 3: It'll be at as a Pacific What time six and
Speaker 3: eight o'clock.
Speaker 2: Eight o'clock high school basketball?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Southern Section title games.
Speaker 1: Don't you know what he's not doing that? Like, honestly,
Speaker 1: I can name so many things on earth that would
Speaker 1: happen if Mick Cronin could go out like Sharon Moore
Speaker 1: at Michigan and hold a butter knife to his neck
Speaker 1: in some fat white girl's apartment and get fired before
Speaker 1: Dawn shows up and does a Laguna Hills High School
Speaker 1: Laguna Hills Ramona High School color analysis for you, Colin,
Speaker 1: boys and girls? I would say the boys and girls?
Speaker 1: Am I wrong to say that? Am I wrong? There's
Speaker 1: no you would not. You're You've done favorites for people
Speaker 1: in your life.
Speaker 2: What's a pay scale on a game like that?
Speaker 1: Calling?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but you ain't working for are we
Speaker 2: at least into three figures on that.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, don't I don't know if you want to
Speaker 1: ask another question? See, don didn't want to go one
Speaker 1: more You gonna want to one more step there? Don
Speaker 1: you want to ask them one more question?
Speaker 2: I know it's not four figures that I know, not
Speaker 2: even close.
Speaker 1: Oh do they feed you?
Speaker 3: Me? Me? Me me? You know what I used to
Speaker 3: broadcast in Oklahoma. That was the place to be. They
Speaker 3: used to feed us well.
Speaker 1: I mean I remember doing high school games for Fox.
Speaker 1: But that was cool, like the Fox Sports West John
Speaker 1: Heffner produced and those guys and.
Speaker 2: Walton Honda center right, the.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports but the high school football package and the
Speaker 1: basketball that they used to do the game of the week,
Speaker 1: and they'd put real production people on it, like the
Speaker 1: production people that are doing NFL games. A few of
Speaker 1: them could be on your high school game because it
Speaker 1: was Fox and it was Fox Sports West, and it
Speaker 1: was cultivating people and some people were training some people.
Speaker 1: I mean, they'd have Doug Freeman, who was a great director,
Speaker 1: come out and do the Taft game because he went
Speaker 1: to Taft and he'd want to sit in the chair
Speaker 1: and direct the freaking Taft game. I mean it was cool.
Speaker 1: What happened to those days? They don't spend them. They
Speaker 1: won't spend them. Well, first of all, there's no such
Speaker 1: thing as that network is gone. That became fan Duel,
Speaker 1: became Bally's, became all that was sold away from Fox.
Speaker 1: Fox sold all the regionals away, and I believe it
Speaker 1: was a labor of love anyway. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if that will ever. I mean, you get your games
Speaker 1: on spend every once in a while, you know, they'll
Speaker 1: have high school games, but those high school games are
Speaker 1: more about recruiting, and they put up of you know,
Speaker 1: the top one hundred recruits and this guy's and the
Speaker 1: and then they end up starting to talk about high
Speaker 1: school players that aren't even playing in this game. But
Speaker 1: when they used to do the game of the week,
Speaker 1: they would approach it. I mean, it's still southern California
Speaker 1: high school and they maybe only had five cameras or something,
Speaker 1: but they would approach it like they were calling a
Speaker 1: college game with real meetings and real local fanfare and
Speaker 1: celebrate what mission be able to.
Speaker 2: Seeing them at Christian they were doing.
Speaker 1: Games, yeah, I mean, and they and I would go
Speaker 1: do those and they would feed like people would be
Speaker 1: scrambling to feed the sideline guy. I mean, can you
Speaker 1: imagine how popular I was in those days, rolling up
Speaker 1: with Jim Watson and John Jackson and Bill McDonald rolling
Speaker 1: up deep. I mean, that's you know. I mean you
Speaker 1: might as well be rolling up with Clint Eastwood and
Speaker 1: Mel Gibson. And I mean, you know, in those days
Speaker 1: in high school, in the high school football days, I mean,
Speaker 1: we used to feel pretty good about ourselves rolling up
Speaker 1: on places. And do you remember the very first one
Speaker 1: they ever did. I remember the first one they ever
Speaker 1: did because I was in college and we watched it
Speaker 1: with a USC football team. We sat and watched it.
Speaker 1: It was Casey Clausen at Alamany as the quarterback, and
Speaker 1: Justin Fargas was the great running back at Notre Dame
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks, and Jim Watson was on the call, and
Speaker 1: I think I think John Jackson was the color analyst,
Speaker 1: and that was the very first one they ever did.
Speaker 1: They I mean, you keep it going, calling and you
Speaker 1: do a great job, but that's the legacy of what
Speaker 1: you're doing. Is when Fox spent money on it, and
Speaker 1: when Fox spent a little money, I mean, no one
Speaker 1: was getting rich, but when the production was a little
Speaker 1: bit slicker. I mean, I know they put the games
Speaker 1: on Spectrum. It's not the same. I mean, we're just
Speaker 1: not talking about the same level of production when they
Speaker 1: have like nighttime shots of Main Street or whatever. You know.
Speaker 1: In Mission Vah, go into a break at Diablo Stadium
Speaker 1: and Bob Johnson sitting there clutching some kids, some fifteen
Speaker 1: year old's face mask it spittle in his face, and
Speaker 1: mother effing him from an inch away. It's not the
Speaker 1: same as it used to be. It just that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was doing one of those games once
Speaker 1: with Modern Day, and it was Rolinson, you know, the
Speaker 1: old coach at Modern Day. We won him an Emmy.
Speaker 1: By the way, on Fox Sports West, John Heffner won
Speaker 1: that guy an Emmy. But Rolinson was playing at Mission
Speaker 1: Viajo and Mission Viejo had an All World Jewish utility
Speaker 1: man named Marty Tadman who ended up in Boise and
Speaker 1: Marty Tadman played. He was like Eric Weddle was in
Speaker 1: high school in college. In high school, he was that way.
Speaker 1: He played corner, safety, quarterback, running back, receiver, He punted,
Speaker 1: he was the kicker, He did everything, and he was
Speaker 1: unstoppable and he was like shifty and he made everything happen.
Speaker 1: And I remember at halftime, Marty Tadman was wearing out
Speaker 1: Modern Day and I asked Rolinson, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. What are you guys gonna do
Speaker 1: about Marty Tadman. I don't know, Petros you got a gun?
Speaker 1: It was like.
Speaker 2: No, what was your follow up?
Speaker 1: I laughed, I'd be in trouble like all those hockey
Speaker 1: players with Trump's choke. I was like, ha, well, let
Speaker 1: me see coach fucking uh. But you know what, nobody cared.
Speaker 1: Like one guy in the OC register was like it
Speaker 1: was very un savery. It's like, yeah, Rowlinson's not gonna
Speaker 1: go shoot Marty Tadman. I think Marty has more guns
Speaker 1: than Rowlins. And that was also the first time I
Speaker 1: ever heard any but he say suited and booted. It
