0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, how did I know it was all hands on deck?

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know. No one told me.

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 6>I was looking for you at Petros, Ronnie and I

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 6>and David Vesse looking around the room.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 4>I heard everybody was there except for me.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we can say all their names what we want,

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 6>but you know they were Big Boy was there, Valentine

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 6>was there. Wow, really, Menace was there. Good dude, by

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 6>the way. Uh, let's see who else was there. Cruz

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 6>was there. He's a really good dude. We stood right

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 6>next to him from ninety two to three, but did

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 6>not see you. And that was we'll see you there.

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 6>But it was a great meeting. We also have our

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 6>jobs and looking forward to a great twenty twenty six.

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 5>All right, Well, you know that is good. I wouldn't

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 5>assume they'd let me on the airwaves if I didn't

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 5>have my job, But here we are. Things have slipped

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 5>through the cracks in the past. You can podcast this

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 5>show We're even going to try to do it before

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 5>the show podcast today at some point. But you can

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:29.519
<v Speaker 5>podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone,

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.200

<v Speaker 5>to six thirty show, and pretty normal shows next week,

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 5>and then on Thursday. A week from Thursday, we're down

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 5>for our final show at BJYS of the football season

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 5>at the BJS in Irvine. I think that show starts

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 5>at three o'clock the BJS in Irvine at the Marketplace.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Is that accurate information, Tim?

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 6>That is Craig Petros. It's a three to six show

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 6>leading into a huge, huge LA showdown between the Clippers

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 6>and the Lakers. That's what our cell, huge huge showdown

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 6>that night. The twenty second add into it Dome Lakers

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 6>and Clippers.

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 5>So what are we saying, Come and watch Lakers Clippers

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 5>with us, or watch the pregame show with us.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 6>Or just come hang out in South Orange County to

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 6>get ready for Clippers Lakers.

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 5>All right, Well, I guess that's a ways off, So

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 5>we'll try to collect them to try this around here

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 5>and get it to the people. But right now, it's

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 5>time for the Word of the Day.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>His words the word of the day.

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Today's word of the day. This was tweeted out by

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 5>one of those Trojan football accounts, But it's all over

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 5>Twitter today. You know, USC Today's word of the day

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 5>is defensive coordinator. Now, you could, in my opinion, hire

0:03:55.160 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 5>Vince Lombardi to be USC's defensive coordinator or whoever the

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 5>greatest defensive mind of today. The coach at Seattle, the

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 5>Seahawks McDonald, you know, some great defensive mind. They they

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 5>couldn't even help us see that much. They hired Deanton Lynn,

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 5>who's supposed to be a great coordinator, and I don't

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 5>think anybody can help us see that much defensively because

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 5>of the way they practice, the mentality of the head

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 5>coach and the mentality of the offense. But you know, Tim,

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 5>that Deanton Lynn left in a very awkward way and

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 5>didn't coach in the bowl game.

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 6>What was awkward about it him in a press conference

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 6>saying I'm here at the bowl game, and then literally

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 6>the next morning he was gone on a plane to

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 6>have all leaving for Pinston.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, yeah, so yeah, his alma mater. But and they

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 5>gave him a better deal. But Deanton Lynn is no

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 5>longer the decordinator at US see Lincoln Riley can hire

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 5>the guy that called. Of course, the players just like

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 5>they wanted Dante wanted the guy who's already there. They

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 5>don't want anybody new coming and upsetting the apple cart.

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 5>But it is official and confirmed by multiple sources that

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 5>former TCU head coach Gary Patterson, the Old Hedgehog, has

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 5>expressed interest in the job and has been in talks

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 5>with USC about the open defensive coordinator position. Gary Patterson

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 5>coached for twenty plus years at TCU and had unprecedented success.

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 5>There was one hundred and eighty one and seventy nine overall,

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 5>won four Mountain West Championships, a Big Twelve Championship, a

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 5>Conference USA Championship, and was one of the best secondary

0:05:55.320 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 5>defensive coordinator, secondary oriented defensive coordinator, calling the plays on

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 5>the sideline, super engaged, hunched over. If you remember the

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 5>way he used to look calling games and when he

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 5>was at TCU, he was really talented. He's also a

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 5>very difficult personality and became more and more crotchety like

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 5>all of us and weird as time went on and

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 5>he continued at TCU.

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 4>If you know what I'm saying, do you know what

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying.

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Oh, and he had a lot of success, but just

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 5>drove people crazy. And I've seen a few examples behind

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 5>the scenes of him just totally crashing out and doing

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 5>weird stuff that you don't normally see. And no one

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 5>else has really hired him since he left tc Remember

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 5>he did a Western album. Remember that he did an album.

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 5>He got sired in twenty twenty my dad, Yeah, twenty

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 5>twenty one, And then in twenty twenty two he worked

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 5>with sark as a special assistant an analyst, and then

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 5>he did the same job in twenty twenty four. So

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 5>maybe the TCU money's dried up now I don't know

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 5>the contract details, And now he wants a real job

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 5>and he's ready to be a coordinator again and hasn't coordinated.

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's been a head coach forever. And if

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 5>he goes back into somebody's program in Lincoln Riley's the

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 5>head coach, it's just hard to imagine how that would

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 5>work out. But you know, I mean, he had Sonny Comby,

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 5>who's the head coach at Louisiana Tech and a noted

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 5>air raid Mike Leach.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 4>Guy.

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 5>He had Sonny Comby, as his offensive coordinator at TCU

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 5>for a while, so maybe he's used to working with

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 5>air raid types from Leech's tree, like Lincoln Riley. But

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 5>there it is. Gary Patterson, one of the true characters

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 5>of college football, seemingly interested in the defensive coordinator job

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 5>at USC.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 6>Now he's got West Coast ties. Remember he was a

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 6>defensive coordinator.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 5>He was at cal Pauly with a lot of those guys,

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 5>or maybe not cal Pauly, maybe Davis Cossacks.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he was at Davis too.

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 6>Well, if he could rock the visor like he did,

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I'm all for that. I love a good

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 6>visor on the head coach. He's one of my favorite coaches.

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 6>And I loved watching his secondary play. I mean, so

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 6>rarely would you ever see a guy uncovered in the secondary.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 6>Quarterbacks would have to make really accurate throws into small

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 6>spaces because he was on top of it, and he

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 6>would wait till the last second to put that secondary

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 6>call to the corners and safeties and linebackers when he

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 6>was coordinating the defense, so much so that sometimes they

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 6>would just wear a no call and play it in

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 6>vanilla because they snapped it too fast. And the guys

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 6>are waiting for the calling. He's a heck of a

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.959
<v Speaker 6>technician on the defensive side. But I don't know how

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 6>that helps Lincoln Riley because of just the mentality of

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 6>the whole deal. But interesting as USC looks for a

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 6>new defensive coordinator as Deant and Lynn used them as

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 6>a stepping stone as well as UCLA.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 4>All right, it's time for the number of the days.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Top number of the day.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 6>Number of the day is not many? Yeah, not many

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 6>people have been going to UCLA basketball games this year.

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 6>Despite what's the top twenty five team that Mick Cronin

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 6>has shout out to.

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Are they still top twenty five?

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 6>They've now just been out of the top twenty five

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 6>after bat they lost like two straight. They lost it

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 6>at Iowa and they lost at Wisconsin.

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 5>Over there, hasn't Josh Lewin been getting torn to pieces

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 5>on air?

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 6>It was not pretty after the Iowa game, Like I

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 6>listened to it.

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 4>That he was real friendly after Wisconsin to trying to

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 4>make up for it.

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 6>I think. So that's what I understand. Mark huskas And

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 6>is this tweet link and it caught my attention just

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 6>about a half an hour ago, and his press conference

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 6>today with the Beat Riders. Not a lot of them

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 6>cover UCLA basketball, but Ben Boltch, Ben Bultch, is the

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 6>only one, our friend at the LA Times, still covers

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 6>the team. Yeah, he did ask a lot of questions

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 6>today and he asked him this question about attendance. Now,

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 6>I preferce this by the fact that UCLA has been

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.439
<v Speaker 6>in and out of the top twenty five. UCLA is

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 6>ten and five on the season in college basketball. I

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 6>know a lot of people are we're not.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 5>Really paying attention to it because you're not working with UCLA,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 5>like usually if you're up at night doing brewing talk

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 5>or something.

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's more part of our.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 5>Daily weekly routine, and we talk about how the Bruins

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 5>are doing. I don't really know, even though I consider

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 5>myself to be close personal friends.

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 4>With Mick Cronin. No, but I don't really know what's

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 4>going on.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 6>No, they're ten and five on the season. They're two

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 6>and two in Big Ten play.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 4>So things could be going better, right.

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 6>They beat Washington in Oregon before the holidays, that weird

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 6>start to the conference play. But since instance the start

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 6>of the new year, they went on the road, lost

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 6>at Iowa, lost to Wisconsin. They're home against Maryland tomorrow

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 6>night a Fox if you want to watch it. Dave

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 6>Roberts is the honorary captain. They're going to celebrate the

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.559
<v Speaker 6>former UCLA outfielder and Dodger manager.

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 4>They have like some dorky T shirt with him and

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Mick on it.

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 6>I kind of like it. So if you donate to

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 6>the Men of Westwood, you get a T shirt. So

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 6>if I can have twenty bucks, maybe Petros, I'll donate. Okay, Well,

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 6>today Mick was asked by Ben Bulch about the crowd.

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not giving bucks to the Man of Westwood.

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 6>The crowded. Paul's been very underwhelming. Now they had a

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 6>winner break serly, Well, it's been this way forever. Yeah,

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 6>but you had two big ten games against Washington and

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 6>Oregon and they had about six thousand, seven thousand people

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 6>at those games.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 4>But it was Christmas break.

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 6>Well it was actually before Christmas break the UC riverside

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 6>the UC Riverside game, they had forty four hundred people.

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 6>That was during Christmas break and they've been on the

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 6>road since. So it's been a little underwhelming the attendance

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 6>this year. With more than a little it's supposed to

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.719
<v Speaker 6>be a big year. For UCLA basketball. They put a

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 6>lot of money in the nil it's a top twenty

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 6>five team for the most part. Here's Mick Cronin asked

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 6>by Ben Bulch about that.

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 4>What did he say? It's I don't hear anything.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 6>He was asked about the crowd and he his quote

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 6>to Ben Bolch was you need to speak to Martin Jarmon,

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 6>the athletic director at u c l A. And then

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 6>he kind of walked it back a little bit and said, Hey,

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, it's the winter break. It's tough with the crowds,

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 6>you know, but anytime you get a good crowd, especially

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 6>in college basketball, it's a winning experience and a great

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 6>experience for the fans and the players. But we get it.

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 6>We're in a professional city and we're in a city

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 6>that you know, it's got the Lakers and the clip

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 6>it locked down. That's okay. Uh No. We got a

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 6>computer monitor though, making that that lockdown winning at half time.

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 6>We were winning a halftime Mick, and then my computer

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 6>froze up. And Ronnie's trying, and bless him, he's trying

0:12:59.600 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 6>to get this.

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 4>When we can ask.

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 6>Usually you do, coach, and you had a little bit

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 6>to say to the Ben Bolts of the La Times.

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, he was asked about the crowd and his

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 6>first immediate response was great, go ask Martin Jarmon, the

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 6>athletic director. I don't know what Martin Jarmon's going to do, Petros.

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 4>About lower the prices?

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean lower the price is lower. I mean what

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 6>is that really going to do to help out the

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 6>situation with the attendance.

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 5>It's a way Ralfi gets going. Wait till you see

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 5>all the kids down at SELFI having the time of

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 5>their lives, like Sergeia.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 6>Well this is for college basketball. It's a different story.

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 4>Now they should be able to get drink and walk

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 4>over there.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 6>Here's Mick, let's see what we got here.

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Here's here is you know what what could be done

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:42.719
<v Speaker 4>to get it?

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's a Martin Jorman question.

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 6>What does it.

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Mean to have you've been there with great crowds?

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean when you do have it?

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 7>Well I would tell you this. There's it's the simplest

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 7>question ever. I mean, having a great home crowd is awesome.

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 7>Simplest question. Yeah, I don't think you can expect it

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 7>over your holiday break. Okay, all right, so you know,

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 7>we've been on break for a long time, right, so

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 7>you know those you know, those type of games. But

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 7>when you're in a pro city, you're probably gonna have

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 7>to wait till conference play and your kids are back

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 7>at school.

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 6>All right, there's men.

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 7>That's just the way.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, Right, that was awesome. Our computer froze up

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 6>and Ronnie fixed it.

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate this, says.

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 5>The prices of most games at Polly are insanely high, really,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:33.720
<v Speaker 5>and they.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Don't let you go into the lower bowl even if

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 4>it's empty.

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 6>Now that talk to Martin Jarman about that is ridiculous

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 6>if that's the case.

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 4>So it's something to think about.

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 6>If you're getting a Pauli pavilion that's a third full,

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 6>meaning two thirds of Paulie's empty, you're not letting people

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 6>just go down and sit in the one hunderd.

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you better come up with the little Caesars pizza

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 5>pizza special to try to stimulate sales. You know, this

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 5>is one of the problems they have in San Diego.

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 5>At the San Diego State game. San Diego State football

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 5>built that new stadium and they hired a new coach

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 5>and they had a very good football team in twenty

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 5>twenty five, they won like ten games with Sean Lewis,

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 5>and they couldn't put anybody in there. And the reason

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 5>is because the prices are so high. The community is

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 5>rejecting it because they're not they're not making it affordable

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 5>for people to.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Go to the games.

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 5>Here's then they have the soccer team down there that

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 5>plays in the same stadium. Prices aren't as high, and

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 5>they fill the thing up and they're shooting off fireworks

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 5>and it's a Latino fun fest. And somehow the stecas

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 5>can't find a way to pull that off. And part

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 5>of it is because the prices are too damp high.

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 6>At Paulie there's the one hunter section, the lower bowl,

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 6>and then there's the upper section, the two hundred section.

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 6>The get in price for UCLA Maryland basketball tomorrow night

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 6>in a corner section two twenty four is thirty one dollars.

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 4>That's not bad.

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 6>That's a get in price set up in the tip

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 6>top corner. You want to sit in the lower bowl

<v Speaker 6>row says limited availability one hundred and twenty seven dollars

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.080

<v Speaker 6>the cheapest lower bowl ticket.

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 4>That's too much.

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 5>Now you start, you're not gonna make any money if

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:27.600

<v Speaker 5>you're not willing to meet them halfway, and lower your

<v Speaker 5>prices and make it a little bit more accessible for everybody.

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 5>You only raise your prices when there's a line outside,

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 5>and everybody will pay whatever to get in.

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 8>with an early sort of flex alert on a Frogman Friday,

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 8>where the Clippers continue with their road trip, having crossed

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 8>the Brooklyn Bridge to rendezvous with the Nets at Barclay's Center.

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 8>That'll begin with our friend Adam Oslin, who's in the

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 8>building getting ready for that Clippers countdown show that begins

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 8>at three point thirty.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 6>You know, Petrose, if Ronnie were a football player, I

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 6>think he'd be a safety. You should have seen him

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 6>running around in the studio to get that audio from

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 6>Mike Cronin. He had great closing speed on the computer.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.120
<v Speaker 4>It was Alinella Malo.

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 6>I mean he was, you know, twenty yards off the

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 6>ball in the computer and just closed in.

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.400
<v Speaker 5>I not reflected his forty time, but when he gets

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 5>the pads on, he plays with football speed.

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.919
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, lightning lightning speed.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:20.400

<v Speaker 1>Don?

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:41.120
<v Speaker 4>How are you?

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you mentioned tickets and ticket prices because I think,

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.199
<v Speaker 2>for the first time in the last twenty two or

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty three years, I actually went to a college game

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't get paid for when Saint Mary's played

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 2>at Pepperdine last week.

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:04.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh with Trent, Yeah, how much was it?

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 4>How much was what the tickets?

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>No, the ticket was free. I'm saying, Pete, what what

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 2>you're misunderstanding? I went to a college team that I

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't paid for, meaning I wasn't working. Yeah, Yeah, that's

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>what I meant.

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 4>I got you.

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 5>No, No, I understand. I wouldn't go to a game

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.399
<v Speaker 5>if somebody wasn't at me either. I don't even know

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 5>if my if my kid was there, I don't even

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 5>know if i'd go.

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 4>The one and.

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 5>Only Don McClain is here. We're always happy to talk

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 5>to him. I was at a very famous deli in

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 5>San Pedro yesterday, Don the meat shop, and the guy

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.399
<v Speaker 5>madd my sandwich said. I was listening to Chet Briquette

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 5>on your radio show, and he was spot on. He

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 5>knows everything about barbecuing. And this is a very very

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 5>reputable butcher shop down So you can if you can

0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 5>impress those Baltic men, you can do anything. That very

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 5>Darko's Meat Shop very impressive.

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Somed maybe I'll come get to meet from them.

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 5>You want a leg, a lamb or something, come on,

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 5>come on down to Darko's. Don, it's the real art,

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 5>and they can have build a sandwich and we can

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 5>eat it together at White Point.

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that'd be nice, Ye, it would be nice. Uh.

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.680
<v Speaker 4>UCLA has lost a couple straight.

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 7>Don.

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 5>We've been talking a little college basketball today and we

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 5>talked about Mick cronin a little bit. This is supposed

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 5>to be a big year for them. How good can

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.640
<v Speaker 5>they be? And what do you think the story will

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 5>be as they get into the meat of the Big Ten.

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 5>They've lost two straight.

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I think the Big Ten is of Donkld

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 2>this year. Not that it isn't every year, but it's

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 2>just when you go on the road, man, it's it's different.

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 2>And I said this last year, Pete, and I think

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 2>I said it to you and Matt. You know, when

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 2>you get used to playing in the PAC twelve. And

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 2>this is in disrespecting the Pac twelve because I was

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 2>a part of that forever. But when you go to

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.359
<v Speaker 2>and you play in front of three thousand people. You

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 2>go to Stanford there's fifteen hundred. You go to Washington

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>State there's two thousand, you kind of get used to that.

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I know, guys aren't there forever, but even for a

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 2>year or two, and then you're going to these Big

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 2>ten arenas and they are packed fifteen thousand. So it's

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a different deal. And I'm not reading too much into

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 2>them losing a couple of games on the road, but

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's going to be like that. I

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 2>still think they're an NCAA tournament team. I still think

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>they're going to finish in the upper half of the

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Big Ten. But there's no gimmeis in the Big Ten

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 2>like there was in the Pac twelve for years.

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.120
<v Speaker 6>Speaking of crowds, don that's a perfect lead in until

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 6>we were talking about Mick Cronin was asked by Ben

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 6>Boltz today about the lack of crowds at UCLA home

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.639
<v Speaker 6>games this year despite having a really good team, and

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 6>his first response was, go ask Martin Jarmon, and then

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 6>he alluded a little bit and said, Yeah, it's tough

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 6>because we're on the quarter system and the long winter break,

0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 6>and you know, we go on the road. As you

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 6>mentioned the Big Ten. They just had crowds at Iowa,

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.879
<v Speaker 6>really big crowds on the road and lost. Now they

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:06.879
<v Speaker 6>come back tomorrow and they face Maryland, a really good

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 6>team in the Big ten, and who knows who shows up?

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 6>Is there anything that can be done at Paul's at

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 6>the ticket prices? And then they got a good product

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 6>on the floor.

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't I don't know what happened because it's

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 2>been like that. It's been like a slow lead tim

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. It really has. And there's a

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of years in the Alford era where they didn't

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 2>win and then howling at the end where they didn't win.

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's not like they haven't won and Mick has won.

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean they went to a final four what three

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:36.959
<v Speaker 2>years ago, So I don't I don't know what it

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 2>is is that the fan experience at the game is

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 2>that did a lot of really die hard UCLA fans

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 2>when I was playing, there were younger, they got older.

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Are they still around? Do the kids that you know?

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming a lot of those families that have season

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>tickets got passed down in the family. Those kids just

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>aren't basketball fans. I don't think it's one thing. I

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:05.440
<v Speaker 2>think it's a lot of things. But you can't point

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that they haven't won. I mean they're

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're not top five in the country every year,

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 2>but they have one and been consistently winning with Mick

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 2>since he's been there.

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 5>Doc McClain, our guest, you heard what he said to me. No,

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 5>I went to the game for free, paid.

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 6>To sit in the lower bowl behind the scorers table,

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.640
<v Speaker 6>and that section done at Polly It's two hundred and

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 6>forty five dollars again in price is thirty one to

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 6>sit up in the corners of Paul Pavilion. One of

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.919
<v Speaker 6>the text dosors sent a text to Petrolsad, Yeah, fans

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 6>are priced out at Paul Pavilion for UCLA games.

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean two forty five seems a bit much

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 2>when the place is in full. You know, maybe maybe

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.240
<v Speaker 2>restart that and lower the prices. See if people come back.

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's worth it's I would say this because

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Mick is a very good coach and we all love

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>him and he wins, So why not try something to

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.679
<v Speaker 2>get people back in there, you know, watching lower the

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 2>prices way down and then see what happens if everybody

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 2>starts coming back. Didn't you know it was the ticket

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 2>prices Start.

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 5>With that, guys, that's Don McClain. He's an All American.

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Charge him half price. Don McClay our guests on the

0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:30.160
<v Speaker 5>Peches and Buddy Show at m FI seventy LA Sports.

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.440
<v Speaker 5>It's fun to talk a little college basketball. But I

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 5>don't know how much attention you've been paying to the

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 5>Lakers up in Eugene, Oregon and traveling around down but

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 5>it feels like they have somebody out every night.

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.919
<v Speaker 2>He Not to interrupt you, but I was actually in

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 2>your spot last night. I was it was like the

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 2>olden days. I did a game at gil Calliseem with

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 2>mikey Am last night, believe it or not.

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 6>Where to state.

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god in corn Alice, you know, I've never

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 4>been in that building.

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Really. No, it's a it's a it's a historical monument.

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess they call it so it's pretty it's pretty original.

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.239
<v Speaker 2>About five years ago they put in a new like

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 2>jumbo tron in the middle hanging from the ceiling, but

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 2>they can't touch the actual building. There's no air conditioning

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:26.199
<v Speaker 2>in there. I think there's heating, but no air And

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 2>they can't do anything to the building because it's a

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 2>historical monument. I found that out like last year or

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the year before.

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:37.920
<v Speaker 5>You and the Yam are sweating it out and corn Allie, Yeah,

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 5>that's pretty.

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Good freeze outside eighty five inside.

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:44.679
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:46.879
<v Speaker 5>Do you think it will will be a problem for

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:50.239
<v Speaker 5>the Lakers down that they're just not consistently healthy and

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, it doesn't seem like they're ever able to

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 5>kind of play together.

0:27:55.640 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I also think consistently defending and consistently league,

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, bringing maximum effort. I mean, they're not as

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.919
<v Speaker 2>good as the teams above them in the West, so

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>if they are going to beat them, it's going to

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 2>have to be with effort, execution, defending, and so you

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:15.720
<v Speaker 2>don't just turn that on. We've talked about that for

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>years at any level, but especially in the NBA, where

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, it's almost April, let's turn it up and

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>be a really good defensive team. It doesn't really work

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>like that. So in terms of the Lakers, you know,

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:29.720
<v Speaker 2>watching them, I don't watch them a lot that I

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:32.440
<v Speaker 2>watch them occasionally. It just doesn't seem like there's the

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 2>urgency that's necessary to be a championship team. They're a

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 2>good team and they'll make the playoffs easily, but if

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about the Lakers winning a championship, I just

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 2>don't think there's enough urgency, especially on the defensive end.

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 6>Donnie, you got the Clippers and baw and Brooklyn to

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 6>take on the nets coming up later on this afternoon,

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 6>the clips of you know, starting to win a little bit.

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 6>There's still ten games under five hundred. But Tyleru was

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 6>asked about why this team has turned things around and

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 6>he says, it's easy. We're guys are starting to play

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 6>together a little bit more. Was that just the case?

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 6>You think early on the ins and out to the

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 6>guys in the lineup and the rotation was a big factor.

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 6>They couldn't get any consistency.

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't really believe that they're one of the deepest

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 2>teams in the league. And yes they had a couple

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 2>of guys in and out, But when the reason you

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>have the deepest team or you want to have the

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 2>deepest team in the league, is your margin for error

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 2>gets bigger. So if a guy or two is out,

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you can stand and win, Like I would get it

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>to him if they were five hundred, Yeah, maybe I

0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 2>would get it right. Okay, Yeah he had some injuries

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and bring us together and all that stuff, But the

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 2>way they started it wasn't that. And what I find

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:45.160
<v Speaker 2>really fascinating and kind of the timing of it. And

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been looked into his contract situation, but Kawhi Leonard

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 2>has led them in scoring the last twelve or thirteen games.

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 2>After seven years of being in LA or six years

0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, it's been all of a sudden, they're finally

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 2>getting what they paid for. In Kawhi Leonard leading them

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 2>and scoring every night. And you know, during the stress,

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 2>they haven't won every game, but I think they won

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 2>what six in a row. Yeah, And I think that's

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 2>what everybody thought was going to happen when they brought

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 2>him here. And it's just been, you know, one thing

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 2>after another and in and out of the lineup and

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 2>load management and playing not playing, and all of a sudden,

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 2>now he's playing and playing really well. I just find

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>that interesting.

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 6>He's in year two of that three year extension that

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 6>he signed, so after next year, at the age of

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 6>thirty five, will be a free agent again.

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he seems to be scoring the basketball now.

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 4>Look it.

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 5>If you saw Don McLain and Pepperdine at that game,

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 5>I know it was well attended.

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Just know that that ticket was free.

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it wasn't well attended. Petros I feel bad. And

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Shilding's a good friend. He's the head coach at Pepperdine.

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>I've known for a long time. But there was If

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 2>there was no Saint Mary's fans, and I am not exaggerating,

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 2>if there was no Saint Mary's fans there there would

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 2>have been one hundred and fifty people there.

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 9>Whoa let's go ways wow, good look well of that, note,

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 9>this is college basketball very healthy here in town.

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Well right, they are hold on. I should say this though.

0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>They are building a brand new or there's almost finished,

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a brand new, state of the art facility, a rec center.

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 2>So it's a dual purpose where it's the arena for

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Pepperdine basketball and volleyball and all that, but attached to

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 2>it as like a student rec center. Brand new. I

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 2>think it's five thousand seed arena. So it's good. It's

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be really really nice. So hopefully that will

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 2>help them out.

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh, they love you again, They love you again. Thank you, Don.

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 5>I have a great weekend and we appreciate it, and

<v Speaker 6>I think they're calling that the Matt money Smith Arena

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 6>there in Pepperdine because of all the money he's donating.

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, they don't like me there, even though I have

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 5>the voice of the Bolts. One day Pepperdine will open

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.240

<v Speaker 6>great life.

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.320

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:42.359
<v Speaker 6>There, let's wry. Let's hear from the audience. Huh, Let's

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 6>go happy. Would have been one hundred and twenty sixth

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 6>birthday to Richard Halliburton, American traveler, writer, adventurer. Born in Brownsville, Tennessee,

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.399
<v Speaker 6>his family moved to Memphis where he grew up. At

0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 6>the age of fifteen, he developed a up in a

0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 6>heartbeat and the parents freaked out, and they had a

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 6>little money, had a little bit of money, so they

0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:09.839
<v Speaker 6>sent him to Michigan to see a doctor there. Guess

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 6>where they sent him.

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 5>The Battle Yep, the Kellogg Battle Creek don't Masturbate farm

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.279
<v Speaker 5>that Matt loved so much with the cereal.

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:23.360
<v Speaker 6>The Battle Creek Sanitarium run by John Harvey Kellogg. He

0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 6>spent time there for observation. He rebounded was given a

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:30.239
<v Speaker 6>clean bill of health. After that, he would go on

0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 6>to graduate from Princeton in nineteen twenty one, but he

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 6>found that he had a love for traveling in the ocean.

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 6>The words of Oscar Wilde inspired him to reject marriage

<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 5>And that's the original marathon? Whe it's the twenty six

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 5>point whatever, that's the marathon. He's why it's called a marathon.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:40.400

0:37:53.280 --> 0:38:01.320
<v Speaker 6>for his romantic narratives. He had movie star friends, writers, intellects, musicians, artist, politicians.

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 6>He was with the who's who of the time. He

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:11.720
<v Speaker 6>never married, though Petros Richard Halliburton never married, he dated

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:15.279
<v Speaker 6>several women in his youth. He expressed intense affection for

0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:19.920
<v Speaker 6>several of them. However, his most lasting relationship was with

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:24.280
<v Speaker 6>the journalist Paul Mooney, with whom he often lived and worked.

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 6>He died.

0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Wait, so they was they were.

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:34.359
<v Speaker 6>Colleagues, Let me say they were gay and didn't say it.

0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 6>I went to Britannica and I went through Wikipedia. March

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 6>nineteen thirty nine, at the age of thirty nine, Halliburton

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:47.839
<v Speaker 6>left Hong Kong aboard a motor boat called the Sea

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:52.719
<v Speaker 6>Dragon en route to San Francisco. Both he and the

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:59.919
<v Speaker 6>boat never made it to San Francisco. They disappeared after

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 6>encountering a severe typhoon some twelve hundred miles west of

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 6>mid Way Island. He's presumed dead because of that typhoon.

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 6>The boat his body never found, so he died at

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:19.719
<v Speaker 6>the age of thirty nine. Happy would have been That's

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.840
<v Speaker 6>he got all that in one and twenty sixth birthday

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:27.800
<v Speaker 6>if he were still alive to Richard Halliburton traveler.

0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 4>To see if Paul Mooney was gay?

0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 6>You know what I can do that real quick post?

0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:35.839
<v Speaker 4>Is that what I read? I don't you know who

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 4>else went to.

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Kellogg's sanitarium and spent a lot of time there. And

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 5>it's a great excuse to play the Tarzan yell because

0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 5>James Outman is a thing of the past for Dodger fans.

0:39:50.360 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 5>But the great Og Tarzan, Johnny Weiss, Mule Olympic swim

<v Speaker 6>Halliburton was, in fact gay.

<v Speaker 4>I told you.

0:40:15.560 --> 0:40:20.680
<v Speaker 6>He concealed it from the public well carefully. Once Oscar

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 6>Wilde to his friends. Oscar Wilde was the tip for me,

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 6>and it's great. You know, I'm glad he was.

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:32.040
<v Speaker 5>He found love with Paul, and he found death at sea.

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.120
<v Speaker 6>What a life. Man died at the age of thirty

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:35.520

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:28.839
<v Speaker 5>of him on the hoa online comment posts appet year, Yeah,

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:31.840
<v Speaker 5>the next door because you know they're kind of like

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 5>uptown Jamaicans and Usain Bolt is a little bit more

0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 5>of a of a down country guy whatever, and they

0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:43.279
<v Speaker 5>did not seem to see eye to eye.

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:44.880
<v Speaker 6>Do you think it was music complaints?

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 5>Like why is this star all night parties, all night

<v Speaker 5>as port Royal for crossover reggae songs in the last

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 5>couple of decades. You got to say Sean Paul is

0:44:16.520 --> 0:44:20.799
<v Speaker 5>cooler than Shaggy and I will proclaim that from the mountaintops.

0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.440

<v Speaker 6>That's why.

0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, he's one.

0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:36.360
<v Speaker 5>Of the few dancehall artists that can really carry a

0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:39.239
<v Speaker 5>whole concert, and carry a whole album, and carry a

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:43.800
<v Speaker 5>whole kind of persona. He does a great job, Sean Paul,

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 5>always positive vibes, and there's nothing we're more about than positive.

0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:49.560
<v Speaker 6>He doesn't look Jamaican.

0:44:50.520 --> 0:44:52.520
<v Speaker 2>You are of a darker shoe than me.

0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 1>No, he's not.

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:53.560
<v Speaker 6>He's not.

0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Actually, well, you know I told you his mom is Chinese.

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 5>You know there's a lot of Chinese people in Jamaica.

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 6>Now, what happens to that the boat doesn't go down

0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:04.120
<v Speaker 6>off the coast of Jamaica like they make it somewhere

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:06.120
<v Speaker 6>else or the Bahamas wherever he lives.

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Who knows.

0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:09.120
<v Speaker 5>They might not have survived, could have been like could

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 5>have died, and they could have died of the typhoid.

0:45:11.840 --> 0:45:14.560
