Speaker 3: into that moment, and that that would be the big
Speaker 3: story if if we didn't have our own.
Speaker 4: Profess something personal to attached to an unfortunate event on
Speaker 4: the other side of the country. But goddamn, Vic Jacobs,
Speaker 4: you've done it again.
Speaker 3: Personally, personally, we might have to bring the comrades back
Speaker 3: down to Vic's house.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: Let's get out to Jupiter, Florida, Tony area.
Speaker 4: A lot of golfers, you know, some say the law
Speaker 4: would look the other way for a high profile resident,
Speaker 4: and you might wonder how many times they have just
Speaker 4: can't do it this thirty second time, sir.
Speaker 2: Everybody gets one or two chairs.
Speaker 4: Its Matt, you know we pull you over. We send
Speaker 4: you home, but when you roll the car just can't
Speaker 4: send you on your way on the roof. Tiger Woods
Speaker 4: hit like a cock a tank truck or something. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like a landscape truck or something like that. He
Speaker 4: hit a tank truck. Yeah, it's like I think it
Speaker 4: was a mobile car wash something.
Speaker 3: That something rolled Tiger Woods blue zero point zero. But
Speaker 3: they think that he wasn't right. You couldn't have been
Speaker 3: completely all clear.
Speaker 4: I think they said, you got a pee over here,
Speaker 4: and he's like, I ain't peeing over there.
Speaker 2: They said, we're gonna cup our hands and they're gonna
Speaker 2: pee into our hands, and we're.
Speaker 4: Gonna see, and we're gonna find out.
Speaker 3: We're gonna look into the pee like like a gypsy
Speaker 3: reads the tea leaves, and it's gonna say oxy coto. Unfortunately, personally,
Speaker 3: Tiger has some personal problems with pills. Yeah, it seems
Speaker 3: we're just speculating somebody was ahead of it. Well, let's
Speaker 3: let's rewind to February. Was it February twenty fifth, twenty third?
Speaker 3: Pretty close February twenty third, literally a mile from my house.
Speaker 3: Tiger Woods crashed in the border between Rancho Pallas Verdi's
Speaker 3: and Rolling Hills estates rolling to a stop in an
Speaker 3: unincorporated area after he blew up the sign that says
Speaker 3: welcome to Rolling Hills. Estates Matt that sign, which was
Speaker 3: blown to smithereens because it was made of wood, has
Speaker 3: not been replaced.
Speaker 2: No, in the last five year.
Speaker 4: Why would you replace it. It serves as a reminder
Speaker 4: of the dangers. It's absence of distracted driving.
Speaker 3: And of course it's COVID coming out of COVID coming
Speaker 3: out of me too, and George Floyd and all of
Speaker 3: the things that we've been through in the last few
Speaker 3: years we were on the air for you know, we
Speaker 3: might have been a little sensitive. So when Vic said
Speaker 3: he that Tiger would was reaching for his pills, and
Speaker 3: that's how we remembered it, that Tiger Woods was reaching
Speaker 3: for his pills. Vic Vic made on the day of
Speaker 3: the accident.
Speaker 4: Speculative it was an unbeculative proclamation by Vic.
Speaker 3: In the moment, literally fifteen minutes after the presser, the
Speaker 3: Lamita sheriffs are like, yeah, he's his legs all flimsy.
Speaker 3: You know, they're doing old thing and there's no one
Speaker 3: saying he's in pair. No one's saying he was going
Speaker 3: the wrong way or anything like that. No one's saying.
Speaker 3: We were talking about how dangerous the area that area is.
Speaker 4: In that particularly, there's a lot of accident ordinary are.
Speaker 3: I mean there's literally a runoff street on that street
Speaker 3: because it's a really harsh downhill curve. And we were
Speaker 3: talking about all that stuff, and then VIC and what
Speaker 3: at the moment, I guess it's written on the wind.
Speaker 3: It seemed a little too far for us, or well,
Speaker 3: let's let's listen to how it would all played out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's so much speculation about what.
Speaker 2: And yes, my.
Speaker 10: My speculation is, you know, he still has not fully
Speaker 10: recovered from his back surgery.
Speaker 11: He hasn't played much golf at all in his last
Speaker 11: probably what a few months because of the back surgery.
Speaker 11: It's possible, I don't know, you know, I'm not there, obviously,
Speaker 11: I'm a pretty.
Speaker 2: Kind of speculation we're talking about here.
Speaker 11: Well, possibly he was he had a spasms, back spasms,
Speaker 11: maybe reaching for a painkiller, and it caused you know,
Speaker 11: a you know, a deflection of his clarity and his concentration.
Speaker 11: You know, he takes a moment, especially such a dangerous
Speaker 11: road to go off the road. He might have just
Speaker 11: been reaching for a painkiller or reaching for some relief.
Speaker 4: Wait, we don't know the details of the crash. Pick.
Speaker 4: They did a good job though of.
Speaker 3: Legally for his pills. But he was reaching for his pills.
Speaker 3: We've all come to that understanding.
Speaker 4: He was reaching for relief. Beautiful description by our bearist
Speaker 4: Vic the brick there.
Speaker 2: It feels like I wanted more. I wanted him to
Speaker 2: say it.
Speaker 3: You can hear me say, what kind of speculation you
Speaker 3: tried to extract that kind of like Barbara Walters, and
Speaker 3: then Matt realizing that Vic might have been venturing in
Speaker 3: some rough territory as we were all a little gun it's.
Speaker 4: Just a coward.
Speaker 7: Really.
Speaker 4: Ultimately, that's when it comes out here. I was a coward.
Speaker 4: We were all willing to put himself out there.
Speaker 3: We were all a little gun shy in that turn, Mat,
Speaker 3: and there is no doubt that Matt was like, it's
Speaker 3: all pure speculation.
Speaker 4: But now we don't know the details of the crash. Vic,
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna get in here and try to cover
Speaker 4: us legally. We don't know the details of the crash. Vic,
Speaker 4: Let's hear the whole thing one more time.
Speaker 3: Here is five years ago, February twenty third, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: Tiger Woods crashes in the Palace Vernese Peninsula area headed
Speaker 3: to the Rolling Hills Country Club, VIC. The brick hits
Speaker 3: the air shortly after the Limidas Sheriffs press conference and
Speaker 3: makes a clairvoyant clairvoyant state.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's summer speculation about what happened.
Speaker 10: My my speculation is, you know, he still is not
Speaker 10: fully recovered from his back surgery.
Speaker 11: He hasn't played much golf at all in his last
Speaker 11: probably what few months because of the back surgery. It's possible, possible,
Speaker 11: I don't know, you know, I'm not there, obviously, I'm
Speaker 11: a pretty.
Speaker 2: Kind of speculation we're talking about here, man. Well, possibly
Speaker 2: he was.
Speaker 11: He had a spasms, back spasms, maybe reaching for a painkiller,
Speaker 11: and it caused you know, a you know, a deflection
Speaker 11: of his clarity and his concentration. You know, he talks
Speaker 11: a moment, especially such a dangerous road, to go off
Speaker 11: the road. He might have just been reaching for a
Speaker 11: painkiller or reaching for some relief.
Speaker 4: Wait, we don't know the details of the crash.
Speaker 2: Perhaps, like.
Speaker 4: God, I love, reaching for relief. He was reaching for relief.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did in such compassion and empathy. I didn't
Speaker 3: remember it like that, No, we I mean the way
Speaker 3: we put it for the last five years. Whenever we
Speaker 3: hear anything about Tiger Woods or remember the crash in PV,
Speaker 3: we always say reaching for his pills, y'all. You know
Speaker 3: that's our right this seat like, look at this text
Speaker 3: and the text Sulco. Let me read this for you,
Speaker 3: secret text, A.
Speaker 5: Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 5: We make it easy.
Speaker 3: Only four feral animals on this earth are celebrating Tiger's
Speaker 3: dui today, Petro White, ass Smith.
Speaker 2: Nordigan and Vic the MF. Brick Bills.
Speaker 1: Y'all.
Speaker 4: He was given a breathalyzer today it was zero points zero.
Speaker 4: Yet he was still issued ay driving under the influence
Speaker 4: citation for failing to submit to a urine test.
Speaker 3: Matt, Let's get out to the Jupiter, Florida. Is this
Speaker 3: the sheriff, The sheriff in Jupiter Martin County, I believe
Speaker 3: is the area. It's in an America's penis that beautiful
Speaker 3: state dangling in the gulf in the Atlantic. Here it
Speaker 3: is the press conference. I wish we had Vic on
Speaker 3: that court. Well, unfortunately we've taken Vic's comras away the
Speaker 3: company has. I wish he still had this comrade so
Speaker 3: we could go check in and Whittier at the DOJA,
Speaker 3: but unfortunately all we have is the presser.
Speaker 9: They did do some in depth roadside tests and when
Speaker 9: it was a termined, he was placed under arrest and
Speaker 9: taken to the Martin County Jail. At the Martin County Jail,
Speaker 9: and even on scene, we really weren't suspicious of alcohol
Speaker 9: being involved in this case, and that proved to be
Speaker 9: true at the jail. So mister Woods did a breathalyzer
Speaker 9: test blew triple zeros. But when it came time for
Speaker 9: us to ask for a year analysis test, he refused.
Speaker 9: And so he's been charged with the UI with property
Speaker 9: damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. In
Speaker 9: the crash, no one was injured. Mister Woods and not
Speaker 9: seem to be injured at all, and the other gentlemen
Speaker 9: were not injured. But this is again, this happened a
Speaker 9: few hours ago, so I've given you the information that
Speaker 9: I have right here right now.
Speaker 2: When he was asked to pee, Tiger said that's personal.
Speaker 6: He might have just been reaching for a painkiller. I thought,
Speaker 6: reaching for some relief.
Speaker 2: I thought he was on for real right there.
Speaker 11: He might have just been reaching for a painkiller or
Speaker 11: reaching for some relief.
Speaker 2: Vick new.
Speaker 4: Vick new, just like he knew those butchers ruined the
Speaker 4: career of Yao Ming when we all doubted him.
Speaker 3: That was the other Victor Brick Prophet Elijah moment. That
Speaker 3: was a big moment.
Speaker 2: That was a real old That was an old Testament moment.
Speaker 3: A Chinese doctor butcher Yeow's foot, and he'll never be
Speaker 3: the same, y'all. Hey, ship up, you don't do it.
Speaker 3: That's the most irresponsible to like. Sure, he might be
Speaker 3: from China, Vic, but my god, I have it on
Speaker 3: good sources. I know one of the doctors.
Speaker 12: He was right.
Speaker 2: He was right about that, and he was right about
Speaker 2: Tiger reaching for relief.
Speaker 11: He might have just been reaching for a painkiller or
Speaker 11: reaching for some relief.
Speaker 4: Hey right, I'm right up in here. Hey wait, we
Speaker 4: don't know the details of the crash.
Speaker 2: Vic.
Speaker 11: Hey, Hey, hey, he might have just been reaching for
Speaker 11: a painkiller or reaching for some relief.
Speaker 7: Hey, hey, you gotta do this for me.
Speaker 9: We really weren't suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case,
Speaker 9: and that proved to be true. At the jail.
Speaker 6: He might have just been rea reaching for a painkiller
Speaker 6: or reaching for some relief.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, we don't know the details of the crash.
Speaker 4: Vic He's gonna move on from here, everybody. I'd like
Speaker 4: to strike that from the record.
Speaker 2: Moving forward.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk to DoD McLean in the very next set.
Speaker 3: We hope Tiger Woods gets the help he needs. Pills
Speaker 3: are bad, okay, not reaching for a relief. He's been
Speaker 3: all beat up over his life from all the golfing
Speaker 3: and the hoarring. He gone hoaring more than most cowboys.
Speaker 4: When the guys had back surgery and I think achilles
Speaker 4: surgery in the last ten months.
Speaker 3: And he's also just hammered those hips into so many chicks,
Speaker 3: and that is just throwing his whole back off.
Speaker 4: If I'm having a three autumn combo at the Perkins
Speaker 4: and I see a nice curly redhead man and the
Speaker 4: hostess stand there, the hell you want.
Speaker 2: Me to do?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't have to like nothing but a man.
Speaker 3: You don't have to punish your loins like you're doing
Speaker 3: reverse flies. Like let's calm down, like you heard you
Speaker 3: rushing blood over here. Okay, you had so much sex
Speaker 3: you blew your back out.
Speaker 6: We're not going to hide who we are just because
Speaker 6: some horse shakes are around.
Speaker 4: You did, couldn't help it, poor time. I'm gonna hide
Speaker 4: who I am. Are you Tiger Woods?
Speaker 3: Nope, it's like what tiger wears red and black on
Speaker 3: a Sunday. Now he wearsn't mind just to tie his shoes.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal.
Speaker 11: You might have just been reaching for a painkiller or
Speaker 11: reaching for some relief.
Speaker 3: Those words don't know the details of the crash. Big
Speaker 3: those words ring in the in the annals of heavens
Speaker 3: now of heaven. Now, it's unbelievable. What a great job
Speaker 3: digging up the infro, digging up the old sound. Don
Speaker 3: mcclan will join us. Next, we'll talk about the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 3: The Lakers and the Clippers are bff and hoops and beyond.

Speaker 3: The Lakers are surging, Clippers are back about five hundred
Speaker 3: Sat Mary's is a new coach, the leading scoring the
Speaker 3: history of the PAC twelve from a legend Gotta Si
Speaker 3: Valley where a statue eleven park stands above the children.
Speaker 3: We're talking about Don McClain for the Big ten Network
Speaker 3: from CAA from FS on the Back twelve Network.
Speaker 2: The next ass he kisses.
Speaker 3: Will be the first and he joins us once again
Speaker 3: on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Online.
Speaker 2: Hello, Don, how.
Speaker 7: Are you wait? Can I hear that right? They let
Speaker 7: you guys into Dodgers Stadium yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they sure did.
Speaker 7: I thought you guys weren't allowed there anymore?
Speaker 3: Nah things after weekend we got mother a f't by
Speaker 3: Don Martin a few years back at the suite, and
Speaker 3: that started kind of a long cold spell to where
Speaker 3: we weren't actually not there, but we were there.
Speaker 2: A lot less. But now with our new boss, Brian Long,
Speaker 2: we're there basically about as much as we want to be.
Speaker 4: We called the shots, Don. We get there to you
Speaker 4: when we want to go right, pretty sweet?
Speaker 3: Right, it's my big it's my big thing, and I
Speaker 3: want to f right now, just like the end of
Speaker 3: booget Well, Don, We're always happy to talk to you.
Speaker 3: You are our favorite person and you have so much
Speaker 3: great insight. Did you know while you were calling on
Speaker 3: so many Big ten games all year long that the
Speaker 3: Big Ten was going to be this bully like in
Speaker 3: the tournament, just bopping and bullying people around.
Speaker 7: I kind of did, Actually you know it's you know,
Speaker 7: i'ven't been in the Big Ten for very long, a
Speaker 7: couple of years, but it just seemed like this year
Speaker 7: and being in watching college basketball for as long as
Speaker 7: I had have that from top to bottom it was
Speaker 7: pretty strong, and that the top level teams were that good,
Speaker 7: and I think that's kind of playing out now. No
Speaker 7: one saw Iowa. I didn't think Iowa would be in
Speaker 7: the Elite eight. But you know Ben mccollins, he's an
Speaker 7: interesting cat, but he can coach, and so we'll see
Speaker 7: what happens tonight. But yeah, I'm not that surprised that
Speaker 7: the Big ten's done this well in the tournament.
Speaker 4: You mentioned him, Don it's the closest thing we have
Speaker 4: to Cinderella. I know he might take offense to that
Speaker 4: at Iowa, but for people that aren't following Iowa basketball,
Speaker 4: this is now a trend. We've seen it with Kurt
Speaker 4: Signetti at Indiana. In football, Ben McCollum has won everywhere
Speaker 4: he's been, whether it was north West Missouri State win
Speaker 4: in d two titles in a single season. At Drake,
Speaker 4: he led them to their greatest season ever. Is this
Speaker 4: is this something that we should be paying more attention
Speaker 4: to and just continue to hire these guys that win
Speaker 4: at every level.
Speaker 7: Maybe, and I'll tell you, Ben McCallum. I did a
Speaker 7: couple IOWA games this year and Ben McCollum really likes
Speaker 7: him some Ben McCollum, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: But yeah, But the reason I'm saying that isn't to
Speaker 7: disparage him at all. It's that he has real confidence
Speaker 7: in what he does. The interesting part for me is
Speaker 7: going to be next year with McCollum because he's got
Speaker 7: a fifth year senior guard, one of the best in
Speaker 7: the country, Bennett Sturtz, that's been with him since Startz
Speaker 7: was a freshman at Northwest Missouri State. And you know
Speaker 7: the luxury of having a guy like that a point guard.
Speaker 7: The guy plays forty minutes every night to run your team,
Speaker 7: understands what you want. You've been with him for so long.
Speaker 7: It will be very interesting to see what I would
Speaker 7: look like next year without Sturtz and some of these
Speaker 7: other guys that have been with McCollum for two, three,
Speaker 7: four years. But it's clear this guy can coach. And
Speaker 7: you're right, Matt, I think there is something to be
Speaker 7: said for these guys that have put in their time,
Speaker 7: paid their dues they've wanted all levels, doesn't matter what
Speaker 7: level it is, and then maybe it does translate to
Speaker 7: the highest levels.
Speaker 2: The one and only Dawn McClain a hero to all
Speaker 2: of us.
Speaker 3: We just talked to mc cronin the other day and
Speaker 3: he talked about how he's on the phone twelve hours
Speaker 3: a day because once the thing's over, you have to
Speaker 3: freak out and reposition your team and get everything locked up.
Speaker 3: And he needs five million more dollars. I mean, if
Speaker 3: Iowa can make it to the Elite eight, maybe if
Speaker 3: you see laid and running too Yukon, they would be too.
Speaker 3: But what are some of your closing thoughts on the
Speaker 3: Bruins in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7: Well injuries heard him at the end, No billadeh obviously.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not saying they would have beat Yukon,
Speaker 7: but I think they might have beaten Yukon if Billadehau
Speaker 7: was playing. So that was just unfortunate. And you know,
Speaker 7: it's hard to judge a season or performance at the
Speaker 7: very end. And look, all coaches in the ncaire judged
Speaker 7: on their performance in the NCAA tournament just getting there
Speaker 7: and then what you do once you get there. But
Speaker 7: it's hard to judge ECLA because Bill odon Play is
Speaker 7: arguably their best player, their leading scorer. So you know,
Speaker 7: is it a horrible season? I mean, you probably fell
Speaker 7: short of some expectation, but it's because of injury, so
Speaker 7: it's hard to say. But Mikeel figured out, Makeel figure
Speaker 7: out how to get another five million and figure out
Speaker 7: how to put another good team on the floor next year.
Speaker 4: Is there something that you see with because it is
Speaker 4: a lot of recognizable names. I know it's not Kansas
Speaker 4: and North Carolina, but Duke's there, Michigan's there. I mean,
Speaker 4: obviously we've seen what Rick Patino has been able to
Speaker 4: do in a couple of years with Saint John's. Is
Speaker 4: there a particular path to follow or is it as
Speaker 4: simple as what you kind of just ended with there,
Speaker 4: don just get them another five million bucks, you'll be fine.
Speaker 7: Well, it doesn't. It's interesting and this conversation could take
Speaker 7: an hour. Matt like, just because you have a big
Speaker 7: nil budget doesn't guarantee success. There was a team in
Speaker 7: the Big ten this year that had the second biggest
Speaker 7: andile budget in the country and finish five hundred and
Speaker 7: didn't make the tournament. So it's not a lock that
Speaker 7: if you have unlimited anile money you're going to get
Speaker 7: to the final four. It doesn't work like that. I
Speaker 7: think the balance is you have to have a staff
Speaker 7: that really knows how to evaluate players. You understand that
Speaker 7: you have to give these guys money whether you want
Speaker 7: to or not, whether it's a million, two million, whatever
Speaker 7: it is. But you can't miss on the million or
Speaker 7: two million guys like you have to. You have to
Speaker 7: be able to evaluate somehow character, how are they in
Speaker 7: the locker room, do they fit the system? Do they
Speaker 7: want to win? Are they tough? Those things that I
Speaker 7: talked to coaches all year about that we're having good
Speaker 7: seasons or bad seasons. That's the hardest part is the
Speaker 7: portal is so fast that you don't really get answers
Speaker 7: to those questions because you don't have them on campus
Speaker 7: for a weekend. You don't recruit them for two years
Speaker 7: like they were coming out of high school. And so
Speaker 7: if your staff is very good at evaluating guys and
Speaker 7: talking to people and understanding what the kid's about, now
Speaker 7: when you spend your two million, it's probably translating the wins.
Speaker 3: The one and only Don McLain. We love talking to him.
Speaker 3: Donna Bennett, your son is it Saint Mary's. Randy Bennett's
Speaker 3: going to going to Arizona State. What do you think
Speaker 3: is going to happen at either place?
Speaker 7: Well, I think I think for Trent selfishly, I think
Speaker 7: it's a good move. You know, Randy Bennett is a
Speaker 7: great teacher and he's his track record has proven of
Speaker 7: bringing guys in, they developed, they get better. Style of
Speaker 7: play is a different story in the sense that if
Speaker 7: you're a wing, if you're a guard, you know, they
Speaker 7: throw it into the post a lot. And so I
Speaker 7: think for Trent long term, it wasn't a great fit
Speaker 7: but a great but a great place to be to start,
Speaker 7: if that makes sense. Micki McConnell, the new head coach
Speaker 7: played for Randy's been in the been assistant in the
Speaker 7: program for ten years. He says he's going to do
Speaker 7: things a little bit differently. I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 7: The Randy Benneckon coach. But he's been at Saint Mary's
Speaker 7: forever and there's a big jump from the WCC to
Speaker 7: the Big twelve, so it will be interesting to see
Speaker 7: how he does with the style that they play, which
Speaker 7: is not fast, not up tempo, but they've always been
Speaker 7: really good defensively, and I think again selfishly for Trent
Speaker 7: that was a big thing is he learned how to
Speaker 7: play defense this year and so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 7: But I think Trent's happy to be where he's at
Speaker 7: and looking forward to next year.
Speaker 4: To have the professional ranks don and shifting and start
Speaker 4: with this always just I don't quite understand why this
Speaker 4: has to be the timeline of how these things go.
Speaker 4: But you have Joe l Embiid winning an MVP, everybody
Speaker 4: throws their arms up. He only played sixty whatever it
Speaker 4: was three games. How the hell can that guy be
Speaker 4: the MVP. They put in a rule, got to play
Speaker 4: sixty five to win MVP or being All NBA. Now
Speaker 4: this year, this is a dumb ass rule. Kate Cunningham
Speaker 4: getting screwed. We got to launch this rule into space,
Speaker 4: like where do you come out on you know, trying
Speaker 4: to avoid load management while also understanding that a situation
Speaker 4: like Kate Cunningham's could come up and you don't want
Speaker 4: that got to be punished.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a tough one. The easy thing would be, okay,
Speaker 7: rest days, you can't have a certain amount of rest days.
Speaker 7: Well then they just fib and say he's got a
Speaker 7: sore ankle or a sore knee or whatever, and that's
Speaker 7: their rest day. So I don't know what the answer is.
Speaker 7: But the real problem these guys, I mean, they care
Speaker 7: about the awards, but it's not about the awards. It's
Speaker 7: about contracts. If you're All NBA, you're supermax, which is
Speaker 7: different than a max. And so you're punishing these guys
Speaker 7: not only by not letting them be available for the awards,
Speaker 7: but you're costing the millions in future contracts because they're
Speaker 7: not first, second or third team All NBA or Defensive
Speaker 7: Player of the Year or whatever it is. And so
Speaker 7: I don't know what the solution is. I frankly haven't
Speaker 7: thought about it enough. But to me, it seems wrong
Speaker 7: that if a guy gets hurt, okay, he doesn't get
Speaker 7: the award, but now you're screwing him out of millions
Speaker 7: of dollars on his next contract with that rule. So
Speaker 7: it doesn't seem right to me.
Speaker 3: Don McClain always in the right is our guests, and
Speaker 3: we sure appreciate him. Donna has your perception of the
Speaker 3: Lakers change in the last few weeks. They they've climbed
Speaker 3: into the three spot now.
Speaker 7: I mean I looked at it today and they're in
Speaker 7: a good spot in tern If the playoffs started today,
Speaker 7: I think they'd have Houston in the first round, which
Speaker 7: would be good for them. I think, I just you know, again,
Speaker 7: and I said this a million times this year and
Speaker 7: probably last year. Are they good enough defensively to go
Speaker 7: all the way? I mean, it'd be great if they
Speaker 7: want a series or two. That's better than not winning
Speaker 7: a series or two. But this is about winning championships
Speaker 7: and I just don't know if they're good enough defensively
Speaker 7: for that. And I think Oklahoma City is just so
Speaker 7: far ahead of everyone in that regard. And that's not
Speaker 7: to say that they don't have a chance, but I
Speaker 7: just when I watch the Lakers, which isn't very often
Speaker 7: but I have, I'm just watching a team that I
Speaker 7: just don't think has the personnel to hold up defensively
Speaker 7: in a seven game series against a really good team.
Speaker 2: Last one.
Speaker 4: Don it's not a championship level competition, but the Clippers
Speaker 4: are playing pretty great after making their trades, do you
Speaker 4: I guess I'll just ask an opinion question, do you
Speaker 4: like this team better kind of where they're at looking
Speaker 4: forward to next season to get in a full, healthy
Speaker 4: season out of Darius Garland having a year a full
Speaker 4: year with a younger player like Matthin Like, do you
Speaker 4: like where they're at today versus where they were going
Speaker 4: into the season.
Speaker 7: I think if you've given up on the fact that
Speaker 7: that older the roster before these moves wasn't good enough,
Speaker 7: then yes, because it looks like they're transitioning into getting younger.
Speaker 7: It's going to take some time, but at least they're
Speaker 7: on that path instead of banging your head against the
Speaker 7: wall with a roster that was pretty good in one games,
Speaker 7: but not nearly good enough to contend in the West.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I like. I like the fact that that
Speaker 7: they're heading in that direction. They've gotten younger, good players,
Speaker 7: and you and you move on to next year and
Speaker 7: continue to add I saw something today, Matt, you might
Speaker 7: know this. Do they get they get a first rout
Speaker 7: like a high pick this year if it's outside the
Speaker 7: top three from Indiana I say.
Speaker 4: Indiana worst record in the league. But if they do
Speaker 4: fall out of that top three, they would have the
Speaker 4: fourth overall pick. If that's where it lands.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that that would help matters if you're
Speaker 7: the Clippers. For sure, this this draft and by the way,
Speaker 7: I'm finishing by last week off. We're starting up next
Speaker 7: week with our draft stuff. But but yeah, this draft
Speaker 7: is loaded, loaded from it's it's the most loaded draft
Speaker 7: I've seen. I mean, I haven't thought too much about it,
Speaker 7: for sure in the last ten years. From one to twenty.
Speaker 7: A lot of fresh it's a lot of freshmen, but
Speaker 7: a lot of good players. Man Like, if you have
Speaker 7: the twentieth pick you're getting, you're getting a player that
Speaker 7: you would probably have to pick tenth in most drafts. Don,
Speaker 7: that's how that's how good this draft is.
Speaker 2: Where do you think? Where do you project Barkuna? I
Speaker 2: am Bartona.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, the Hill's Barcona.
Speaker 2: I am Barton.
Speaker 12: I am the one ruler of all the jungle. Marcuona's
Speaker 12: blood is the blood of the jaguar.
Speaker 3: Lottery pick. You got the blood of the jaguar. Come on,
Speaker 3: you're a lottery guy for sure. Yeah, thank you Don
Speaker 3: for your great analysis. One and only Don McClain does
Speaker 3: nobody better.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 2: I think Barkuna can go top five.
Speaker 4: Got the goddamn blood of a jaguar.
Speaker 12: I am Barton, I am the one ruler of all
Speaker 12: the jungle. Marcuna's blood is the flood of the jaguar.
Speaker 2: What did you do to the people of Marakeith?
Speaker 12: Though I have the power to destroy my enemy, I
Speaker 12: Barcona have persa people on arcade and they will all die.
Speaker 2: Those who do you find me?
Speaker 4: I mean the two three zone is one thing box
Speaker 4: and one with Barkuna your face death. I'm taking that
Speaker 4: guy number one every day.
Speaker 2: We'll be back with some reaction to the Tiger Woods
Speaker 2: pill reaching there. We'll have a word.
Speaker 4: Wishing for relief.
Speaker 1: Southern California's most listened to sports talk show this Money
Speaker 1: on Demand.
Speaker 4: Big thank you to Don McLain talking some Sweet sixteen,
Speaker 4: Elite eight UCLA basketball and Lakers Clippers as well. David
Speaker 4: Vessey will talk Dodger baseball about an hour and a half.
Speaker 4: We're off at six for Dodgers Diamondbacks. Dodgers on deck
Speaker 4: galloping Ford Broadcast Center, seven to ten pm. First pitch.
Speaker 4: It'll be Emmett Shean tonight going for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kate's is my phone in there?
Speaker 12: Yeah? It is?
Speaker 2: I need to hit the phone so I can do
Speaker 2: the secret text Usso man, oh got your little crossbar? Hey,
Speaker 2: how you supposed to do with textoso on no phone?
Speaker 5: Maw secret texts all fine, reach for relief, but you're
Speaker 5: so called Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: The text also does have a lot of Tiger Woods
Speaker 3: reaching for relief. One guy said that he doesn't work
Speaker 3: anymore and he can't listen to the show because his
Speaker 3: wife hates it. But he escaped out of the house
Speaker 3: so he could listen to them because he knew that
Speaker 3: we did talk about tiger Wood.
Speaker 4: Reaching for relief.
Speaker 3: This says, now, that's what I'm talking about. Great sports
Speaker 3: talk will always include Tiger Woods each sports talk, banging chicks,
Speaker 3: and vtb's clairvoyant insights.
Speaker 2: You can't get that anywhere else.
Speaker 11: He might have just been reaching for a painkiller or
Speaker 11: reaching for some relief.
Speaker 3: And that's why I listened faithfully to you and Matt
Speaker 3: stupid bucket hat Smith.
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4: I do appreciate that. You know, some sports shows people
Speaker 4: are like, oh Man, big win by the Dodgers. I
Speaker 4: got to tune into that tomorrow. Yeah, No, NFL and
Speaker 4: Rapped coming up tomorrow. I got to get a preview
Speaker 4: on that show today. Well, Tiger Woods flipped his car
Speaker 4: for a second time.
Speaker 3: There's that matter. There's wedding crasher calls. If you'd prefer
Speaker 3: oh or VIC the brick was drinking negative modelos in
Speaker 3: Mexico while most of us were still in our dad's sack.
Speaker 2: Only you guys can turn the.
Speaker 3: Most serious sports story into chicken effing Yeah.
Speaker 9: We really weren't suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case,
Speaker 9: and that crew to be true.
Speaker 11: At the jail, he might have just been reaching for
Speaker 11: a painkiller or reaching for some relief.
Speaker 4: We don't know the details of the crash. VIC, I'll
Speaker 4: reaching behind the passenger seat. In the front seat, I
Speaker 4: envisioned a bottle of pills rolling back and forth on
Speaker 4: the floorboard, in him reaching and taking his eyes off
Speaker 4: the road, momentarily.
Speaker 3: Finishing up work here on the East Coast. And I
Speaker 3: saw the breaking news about Tiger Woods, first thought, Holy crap,
Speaker 3: I cannot wait. Great sports talk, great sports talk, the
Speaker 3: season opener win yesterday. Let's talk about an agent, golf
Speaker 3: prone pill poppin season.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 4: If he doesn't bang the manager at Perkins, We're not
Speaker 4: talking about him swinging around like he swung it around.
Speaker 4: I love all of them, you know, if he's banging
Speaker 4: like if he's got a slew of Instagram models, it's like, yeah, whatever, man.
Speaker 4: But the fact that he took that redhead that looked
Speaker 4: like straight from Central Casting and dazed and confused and
Speaker 4: took her back to his place, handle business, handle.
Speaker 3: Business, reaching for relief was vic insinuating Tiger was jerking
Speaker 3: it good stuff show probably show writes itself great sports talk,
Speaker 3: and Tiger Woods gets in trouble.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: We'll do your word number song of the day. Sorry
Speaker 3: about the long commercials, the Dodgers and us being off
Speaker 3: for a few weeks or you know, having shorter shows.
Speaker 3: We're working on it. We want to make it so.
Speaker 3: Maybe you don't have to listen to the Culturistas podcast
Speaker 3: commercial again.
Speaker 2: Like every every break.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have to listen to the commercial because
Speaker 4: I subscribe to the pod. I'm so cultured. Now I'm
Speaker 4: going to airwan when the show's over.
