Speaker 2: Who cares in money? Showy. That is a dumb ass question,
Speaker 2: though you know there's no doubt. There is no doubt,
Speaker 2: and that is why Mick did say kudos. That is
Speaker 2: the worst question I've ever been asked, although it did
Speaker 2: bring back memories to Ronnie versus Don McClain. Another moment
Speaker 2: where somebody who in the media just liked that guy
Speaker 2: that asked the question. You don stuck your hand in
Speaker 2: the furnace and god burn writing shotgun for the next
Speaker 2: couple of days.
Speaker 4: Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
Speaker 4: official songs?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Don, That's that's what I read. What's
Speaker 2: the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
Speaker 2: immaterial for this particular segment of the show. It's still funny.
Speaker 2: You're raising your voice at me. God, I love the anger.
Speaker 2: I love the aggression. Anyway, a big thank you to
Speaker 2: David Vassy. He's still out of Camelback Ranch. We'll be
Speaker 2: back on tomorrow at three o'clock. But the first spring
Speaker 2: training game here already, Yeah, on am FI seventy. Usually

Speaker 2: dot edu for the spring program CUI dot edu slash Coaching.
Speaker 2: You know, you could you know what might not hurt
Speaker 2: you to further your education a little bit, Don, Maybe
Speaker 2: you learn a few tricks there when you're talking to
Speaker 2: those number one draft picks. You know, probably a little
Speaker 2: bit at Lutheran, uh, probably a little two down the
Speaker 2: road for any new trips to set in your ways, Don,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that. You know, you're never too old
Speaker 2: to change. Look at the Christmas care with old Ebenezer
Speaker 2: screwge he changes ways, remember tiny Tim, Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 2: remember that. All right, don't get mad you raise your voice.
Speaker 2: You know you did it? Was you? All right? Don uh,
Speaker 2: this is I don't care about. I'm there, you are,
Speaker 2: I'm you. Guys ever find out like what his what?
Speaker 2: What his affiliation is that I explained this at at
Speaker 2: length yesterday. Nobody wanted to hit here. Well, this is
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to explain, like, and you know this
Speaker 2: because you work the Big ten now. And I've done
Speaker 2: three Michigan State games in the last two seasons, all
Speaker 2: in Michigan, one in a Ford Field and too at
Speaker 2: East Lansing, and I know how to research for a
Speaker 2: game and whatever. It's collegeotball, so it's a longer time
Speaker 2: to get ready and all that. I have never seen
Speaker 2: so many people covering a bad team. And yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And this is just Michigan State football,
Speaker 2: so imagine what it is like. There's the Spartan podcast,
Speaker 2: the sword Cock podcast, the you know they have. I mean,
Speaker 2: it is endless, So it could have been any of
Speaker 2: those idiots and even Pete. They treat like I had
Speaker 2: Illinois last night. There was Illinois beat Riders there. Yeah, multiple,
Speaker 2: I go on a lot. Yeah, it's a whole like
Speaker 2: I knew everything I never needed to know about a
Speaker 2: bad football team leading up to any Michigan stole. Oh
Speaker 2: that guy's pretty because you get all ready for you.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, look at this guy. He runs this
Speaker 2: on a hunter, this and that all they're down forty
Speaker 2: okay uh Anyway, the fun fact is about Glendale, Arizona.
Speaker 2: Don Cammel back Ranch is in Glendale. That's relevant because
Speaker 2: that's been there. It's where the Dodgers have spring training.
Speaker 2: Did you enjoy it, Don? Yeah, So we're doing Arizona
Speaker 2: fair fun facts. There is a great community college in Glendale,
Speaker 2: Arizona is known as Glendale Community College Glendale CC, home
Speaker 2: of the Gauchos. The Gauchos opened in nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 2: The most famous alum of the Gauchos ever a guy
Speaker 2: named Vince Fernier or Fernier real name Alice Cooper. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: actually Vince Fernier is the real name. How do you
Speaker 2: come up with Alice Cooper out of Vince Vernier. He
Speaker 2: was really into horror and like campy, over the top
Speaker 2: kind of B movie stuff. Okay, so I think it
Speaker 2: comes from that Alice Cooper. Yeah, like the rocky horror
Speaker 2: and some gender bending vibe rock and roll action, all
Speaker 2: the stuff Dawn's into. I don't know, Harry Don, I don't.
Speaker 4: Know, all right, Harriet Johnson was already read why don't
Speaker 4: you ask?
Speaker 2: God? Are you raising your voice at me? God'm just
Speaker 2: so tired of being confused?
Speaker 3: You are?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are? Where did you come up with that?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it wasn't a Glenndale's CC. It's
Speaker 2: time for the freaking quickts god ms quickets. I'll make
Speaker 2: it quick, y'all. Oh yeah, another day of workouts a
Speaker 2: cable back ranch. Don You said you've been there? I have.
Speaker 4: They used to actually do a really cool thing that
Speaker 4: you'd go out there with your team and they'd have
Speaker 4: tournaments around spring training, so you got to play games
Speaker 4: and then go to the spring training games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my kids cool enough to get invited when all
Speaker 2: the cool kids went and did that? Done? Okay, Sorry,
Speaker 2: we did fight out that. Gj Oshinobu Yamamoto will start
Speaker 2: Saturday's Cactus League opener, But it looked like everybody else
Speaker 2: was having fun. I went aware of a great time.
Speaker 2: I am aware of the super time. Dad, Why don't
Speaker 2: I give? I don't know. Versus the Angels, Yoshi's gonna pitch.
Speaker 2: Also expect Freddy Freeman, Will Smith, Ti, Oscar hernandez Andy
Speaker 2: Pai Haz in the lineup. Kyle Tucker is likely to
Speaker 2: be in Sunday's lineup. We got that game too on
Speaker 2: the station. Lakers are thirty three and twenty one, fifth
Speaker 2: seed in the West Dawn. They're off until Friday when
Speaker 2: they take on the Clippers. And Lon Rosen, a tall,
Speaker 2: ominous man. He's been the executive vice president of the
Speaker 2: Dodgers since twenty twelve is now the Lakers president of
Speaker 2: Business Ops. So does that mean he's not doing the
Speaker 2: Dodgers anymore? I suppose so. Rosen? Who was why I
Speaker 2: saw this? I saw this riding on the wall. When
Speaker 2: Tim Harris stepped down the other day, I said, here
Speaker 2: comes uncle Lawn to fill that gap. He was once
Speaker 2: Magic John since agent moves from the Dodgers to the
Speaker 2: Lakers to run business ops. In four months under Mark
Speaker 2: Walter's ownership, the Lakers longtime business operations head, multiple scouts,
Speaker 2: and the two bus brawls, not to mention Linda Rambis
Speaker 2: and Kurt and park Ass. Kurt are all out. But
Speaker 2: you know what, all the people that left got paid.
Speaker 2: Yeah they got paid in a hurry, Yeah they did,
Speaker 2: don But what about their identity? You know, what about
Speaker 2: the greatness of working for the Lakers, That thing that
Speaker 2: made them hold their head up so much higher than
Speaker 2: any other person that works for any other NBA team
Speaker 2: in the world or a team.
Speaker 4: Seems like a different time in this world and in
Speaker 4: professional basketball.
Speaker 2: So I believe you're correct. The Clippers are twenty six
Speaker 2: and twenty eight, holding on to the ten seed in
Speaker 2: the OSA. They host the Denver Nuggets tonight. Tylu was
Speaker 2: asked at practice yesterday about how much Kawhi Leonard will
Speaker 2: be used while they get Darius Garland back and the
Speaker 2: roster to full strength.
Speaker 5: He's at his minutes, you know, he's on his minutes.
Speaker 5: So we just can't overdo it, you know. So, like
Speaker 5: I said, we're smart about it. We know we just
Speaker 5: can't run him into the ground. As much as he
Speaker 5: wants to play more and do more, Like we just
Speaker 5: know that, you know, that load. We just can't continue
Speaker 5: to do it night in the night out, and so
Speaker 5: it'd be some nice where almost a little bit more
Speaker 5: than others.
Speaker 3: But for the most part, you know, we want to
Speaker 3: make sure we're safe from him.
Speaker 2: Hey, don you got it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Any thoughts, Well, it's just going back over the years
Speaker 4: and how they've done this every year and protecting his
Speaker 4: load and how long he plays and all that. It
Speaker 4: just seems to have never worked out. So I don't
Speaker 4: know why the Clippers are still in the business of
Speaker 4: preserving Kawhi Leonard's career and lengthening it when they haven't
Speaker 4: really gotten anything out of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not just burn that candle right now? Right
Speaker 2: see where it takes you. I don't I don't get it.
Speaker 2: But tanking has been a big topic in the NBA.
Speaker 2: Last week, two teams were fine for sitting players. Mark
Speaker 2: Cuban had something to say about it. Today, Phoenix Sun's
Speaker 2: owner Matt Ishbia sounded off on the issue of tanking
Speaker 2: in the NBA, calling it a losing behavior done by
Speaker 2: losers who lose and much worse. I added that last
Speaker 2: lose much worse than any prop bet scandal. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Tanking is losing behavior done by the super losers who
Speaker 2: are real losers. Ishbia wrote, purposely losing is something nobody
Speaker 2: should want to be associated with. Embarrassing for the league
Speaker 2: and for the organizations, and to talk about this as
Speaker 2: a strategy strategy is ridiculous.
Speaker 4: But what's funny is is if you notice everyone tank,
Speaker 4: you know what, last week or the week before is
Speaker 4: a huge topic on tanking, and because guys were sitting
Speaker 4: people and it looked like they were intentionally trying to lose.
Speaker 4: So once everybody started talking about it, now teams are
Speaker 4: just shutting their players down for the season. Instead of
Speaker 4: it looking like they're trying to you know, pull pull,
Speaker 4: put him in and take him out, they're just shutting
Speaker 4: him down for the year.
Speaker 2: So same thing. So Ishbia is a hypocrite. No, I'm
Speaker 2: not saying him.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying teams that were being accused of tanking
Speaker 4: and were being talked about were kind of you.
Speaker 2: Know, there's more than one way to end up in
Speaker 2: the tank exactly.
Speaker 4: So what I'm saying now, just shut him down and
Speaker 4: nobody can say they always hurt for the rest of
Speaker 4: the year.
Speaker 2: Oh they're not tanking. You just got hurt. Yeah, what
Speaker 2: do you want us to do? Lebron's got siantica? Have
Speaker 2: you ever had it? Yeah, some form of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't wish that on anybody.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 2: UCLA has five regular season games left on the schedule.
Speaker 2: The Bruins will host number ten ranked Illinois, and you
Speaker 2: know they don't seem too formidable Saturday, five pm at
Speaker 2: Polly Don will be over at sc Mick Cron in
Speaker 2: his schedule to talk to the media tomorrow morning, and
Speaker 2: don't read too much into it. It's his normal day
Speaker 2: before the game media scrub to talk about the matchup.
Speaker 2: But don't raise your voice, do not there, you are there,
Speaker 2: you are over under.
Speaker 7: And how many TV cameras show up tomorrow because usually
Speaker 7: it's Ben Bolch, the guy from the website Brewer Report
Speaker 7: and maybe the Daily Brewer.
Speaker 2: Is it in Champagne? No, it's in Paulie tomorrow, PAULI.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna But they were just in Michigan.
Speaker 2: Why don't they just go over to Champagne because it's
Speaker 2: a two game road trip, all right? Fine? Over under
Speaker 2: TV cameras, fine, I would say, because it's la oh
Speaker 2: yeah more than five Okay, good call. That's what I was.
Speaker 2: It was in Champagne. Yep, it's kind of out in
Speaker 2: the middle of nowhere. Kansas guard Darren Peterson is believed
Speaker 2: to be the number one pick of the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: six draft, but last night another incident with Peterson. He
Speaker 2: checked out of the game three minutes into the second half.
Speaker 2: He has now missed fifteen games with injuries and flew.
Speaker 2: He's left three games early. Here is Bill self after
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 6: Well, we've had it more than a couple of times,
Speaker 6: and I didn't anticipate that tonight at all. I thought
Speaker 6: he was good to go. But obviously we only got
Speaker 6: eighteen minutes out of him, and you know, that's disappointing
Speaker 6: because he could have had a really big night. But
Speaker 6: but you know, one thing about it is we've we've
Speaker 6: we've it's happened often enough that our guys have learned
Speaker 6: to play without him, even though that's not the way
Speaker 6: we want to play. But that's certainly something that we're
Speaker 6: not unaccustomed to.
Speaker 4: There was a lot of NBA scouts at the Illinois
Speaker 4: USC game last night to watch Keaton Woggler from Illinois,
Speaker 4: who's a really great college basketball story rated like one
Speaker 4: hundred and fiftieth in the country, and now he's leading
Speaker 4: Illinois and scoring, could be Big Ten Player of the
Speaker 4: Year as a freshman, has rocketed up a draft boards.
Speaker 4: And then gil Gilbert Arena's kids Elijah, So there was
Speaker 4: a lot of scouts there to watch that. But Peterson
Speaker 4: came up and he was squarely in the conversation to
Speaker 4: be the number one pick in the Springs Draft.
Speaker 2: Not anymore. Why doesn't he want to play? He's trying
Speaker 2: to protec. I don't know, but like I said, so
Speaker 2: hard to get basketball players to play basketball.
Speaker 4: I don't understand. I think he's just showing enough to
Speaker 4: try and preserve himself so that you know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: He'd have been better off just not playing at all
Speaker 4: this year. He still might have been in the running
Speaker 4: for being the number one pick.
Speaker 7: Got three biggest games this year. He hasn't played it exactly.
Speaker 7: The Arizona game he had flu like symptoms right after
Speaker 7: warm ups.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he he is. Maybe he's having anxiety attacks.
Speaker 4: I don't know what he has, but no one's gonna
Speaker 4: spend or use a number one pick on that.
Speaker 2: Do you think Bill self will be able to solve
Speaker 2: this he's a good coach. Solve it. He would have
Speaker 2: already solved it. Here's frustration.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple of weeks ago, he's like, oh, you know,
Speaker 7: we're not worried about Darren's gonna be okay. Now he's like, well,
Speaker 7: we're used to both of you guys are ganging up
Speaker 7: on me and we're raising our bar.
Speaker 2: What do you what? I was going to say, next?
Speaker 2: You are? You are? I'm gonna talk to Brian Long.
Speaker 2: Women's hockey team USA rallies late with the late goal
Speaker 2: and the third period to tie it, and then Megan
Speaker 2: Keller with the game winner in overtime. USA wins gold
Speaker 2: with a two to one overtime win over Canada. This
Speaker 2: is the one time every four years that everybody gets
Speaker 2: geeked up about women's hockey.
Speaker 7: M hmm and curling and curling. Are we done with
Speaker 7: the curling stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, don come on, everybody's into it. Nod. Look,
Speaker 2: me and my wife could do that. Oh, it's like pickleball.
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to be curling. Now you got to find
Speaker 2: a place to curl. Yeah. Crazy. Tomorrow's semifinals of men's
Speaker 2: hockey at five am, Canada versus Finland and US versus Slovakia.
Speaker 7: If Canada and the US advanced to the gold on Sunday,
Speaker 7: I might get up. Really honestly, what's happen? Because I
Speaker 7: was six am? Five am, and you know, because there's
Speaker 7: gonna be some haymakers.
Speaker 2: In that game I'm here for. Yeah, well, couldn't you
Speaker 2: just record it? Like first thing, you don't look at
Speaker 2: your phone, just flip it on.
Speaker 4: What if I what if I wake up at four fifty,
Speaker 4: get the TV on and get the beers going right away?
Speaker 2: Oh, just so by the time it's five am, you're
Speaker 2: just riled and by six fifteen you'd be back. I
Speaker 2: missed a third period.
Speaker 7: But what so, there's no fighting in Olympic hockey, Petros,
Speaker 7: you can't do it.
Speaker 2: It's frowned upon. It's not a lot. What about that
Speaker 2: French guy that beat up the Canadian.
Speaker 7: Man that was retaliatory. You can't do that. You can't fight,
Speaker 7: You're not supposed to. You get suspended for a game.
Speaker 7: But they're gonna fight.
Speaker 2: Dude. Yeah, it's a final game. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Suspend me? I'm the Kachuck Brothers. Yeah, that's like he
Speaker 2: had to Rocky five when that guy says, punch me,
Speaker 2: I'll sue you, and Rocky says, sue me for what
Speaker 2: broke the Chicago Bears. You know, what a day for
Speaker 2: Matt to be on tour?
Speaker 4: Huh? Interesting to me real quick? Since you mentioned the Bears,
Speaker 4: it was kind of it. We talked about it on
Speaker 4: the air last night. Caleb Williams showed up. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: but here's what's interesting. So he's there obviously played at USC,
Speaker 4: so there's USC fans, but they're playing Illinois. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: and there was probably five thousand Illinois fans there and
Speaker 4: they're all Bears people, and they're all Bears fans, so
Speaker 4: he was getting from both sides last night.
Speaker 2: Nice. Wait a second.
Speaker 7: You said there was five thousand Illinois fans there last.
Speaker 2: Night, four or five thousand? Oh my god.
Speaker 4: They all traveled, tim all of Illinois, Michigan, Michigan, Perdue,
Speaker 4: they all traveled.
Speaker 2: Why l and travel basketball like? That was half his
Speaker 2: hands in orange for the Alina and the other half
Speaker 2: I didn't see his hands. But thanks for the reporting.
Speaker 2: You knew you were coming in. I didn't.
Speaker 4: It wasn't on my list. Some things to check out
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams hands well, the best time I will they
Speaker 4: could be leaving the state of Illinois. Indiana lawmakers in
Speaker 4: the state House Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved an
Speaker 4: amendment to Indiana State Bill twenty seven by a vote
Speaker 4: of twenty four to nothing on Thursday night that would
Speaker 4: clear the path for the Chicago Bears to build a
Speaker 4: stadium in Hammond, Indiana.
Speaker 2: That is where Matt Smith is born and raised. Would
Speaker 2: they change the name? No, I mean it's right over them.
Speaker 2: I mean it's like, okay, but it's not Chicago. No.
Speaker 2: But the New York Jets play in New Jersey, and
Speaker 2: so the New York Giants. The bill would create the
Speaker 2: Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority, with the power to issue bonds
Speaker 2: acchoir land and finance construction for the stadium. The area
Speaker 2: they are looking at, in particular is called Wolflake ooh,
Speaker 2: not that place where you get batchelism Wolf Lodge, which
Speaker 2: crosses the Illinois Indiana border along Interstate ninety.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they'll be able to find some land
Speaker 4: out there for a stadium.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think that's going to be a problem.
Speaker 2: Chicago's southeast side and in Hammond in the northwest Indiana.
Speaker 2: It's around twenty five minutes south of Soldier Field, so
Speaker 2: it's not really far from uh. I mean, it's all
Speaker 2: kind of right there, but I would imagine that Indiana
Speaker 2: is probably an easier place to do business than modern
Speaker 2: day Illinois. Yes, that's all I agree. Thank you, Don,
Speaker 2: thanks for being here. Good luck, appreciate that. Good luck
Speaker 2: at USC. Let us know if you see anybody out there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: good game tonight. Thanks, light work right, We'll be back
Speaker 2: with more tomorrow at three to finish off the week
Speaker 2: on a prov Man Friday. Don't worry, Matt's not going
Speaker 2: to come back to the West Coast anytime soon. He's
Speaker 2: going to be at the Combine. Where's he at to this,
Speaker 2: He's still on a tour on tour to me Rogers
Speaker 2: each frid Day.
