Speaker 2: we can't get like a little afternoon action.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The Compass game is at nine am. It's SMU Louisville.
Speaker 2: I'll be in studio for that. Well, there we go.
Speaker 4: How does Matt money Smith treat a weekend that does
Speaker 4: not involve the Chargers?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I haven't decided yet. I've got an open invitation
Speaker 2: to Cosm. A friend of mine got one of the box.
Speaker 2: He's got a box at Cosm for Oregon USC at
Speaker 2: twelve thirty fantastic. I haven't been there. I haven't either,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, I get a week off of football,
Speaker 2: do I really? But the rain has impacted the ocean.
Speaker 2: I'll probably still go in, but I probably won't spend
Speaker 2: as much time as I normally would, because somehow that'll
Speaker 2: reconcile it in my brain that I'm not going to
Speaker 2: get some sort of microbe that's gonna make me, you know,
Speaker 2: purge from every orifice in my body for two days.
Speaker 2: St Oh my god, the.
Speaker 4: Two heads so calcer for boy, is it gonna spend
Speaker 4: his Sunday watching that team called the Chicago Band.
Speaker 2: God. No, I most definitely am not doing NFL football
Speaker 2: on Sunday, but college football on Saturday. Yes, if I
Speaker 2: get if I am granted a reprieve from football on Sunday,
Speaker 2: I do take it, all.
Speaker 4: Right, lay it on everybody who may have missed it.
Speaker 4: It's a big one legitimately in the AFC playoff chase.
Speaker 2: I'm taking the points. I told you, I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: the points. I think Jonathan Taylor can run the football.
Speaker 2: You know, you can negate those Spagnolo blitzes and all
Speaker 2: the headaches that he could cause. I'm a little concerned,
Speaker 2: as I said, about the twelve sacks from Daniel Jones
Speaker 2: in the last three games and the interceptions, but that
Speaker 2: defense should be humming and lou Anarumo has showed that
Speaker 2: he can you know, he can kind of keep the
Speaker 2: Chiefs and sort of mess with Mahomes a little bit
Speaker 2: like he did when he was with the Bengals, and
Speaker 2: he's got much better personnel. And perhaps it's just the
Speaker 2: charger in me, you know, that's just kind of hopeful that, Wow,
Speaker 2: could we really get a five and six Chiefs team
Speaker 2: come Monday morning?
Speaker 4: Does that really come in here just before the football
Speaker 4: season started and say beware the Indianapolis Colts winning that
Speaker 4: division and being a surprise team because lou An Arumo
Speaker 4: is about to do what Vic Fangio did in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: So you said here, that's Oh, I thought you were
Speaker 2: going to go the path of did anybody come in
Speaker 2: here and say this is the year the Chiefs finally
Speaker 2: hit the wall?
Speaker 4: I said, Mark, I said that literally within a couple
Speaker 4: of hours after the Eagles burst their balloon, suddenly the
Speaker 4: mystique felt on.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 4: They didn't lose that Super Bowl, they got humiliate.
Speaker 2: What's the name of your program, Dave.
Speaker 5: It's called Football America there, it asked, So these are
Speaker 5: the things that it's essentially the uh, it's essentially the
Speaker 5: Chris rockbit of oh, you want me to celebrate you
Speaker 5: because you're taking your kid to school.
Speaker 2: You'll just celebrate because you're staying out of prison. I'm
Speaker 2: not merely talking about fall in America, I am. I'm
Speaker 2: not just giving takes. Well, I'm giving spot on information.
Speaker 2: A man that puts football in the title of his
Speaker 2: signature program should be able to deliver these sort of nuggets.
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean.
Speaker 4: Dasha on Football by Dave damashak if if the higher
Speaker 4: ups would have allowed, but I was jammed into football America.
Speaker 2: Here you go. I did this one for your final.
Speaker 2: It is a fact there are over two thousand graduates
Speaker 2: of the Concordia University Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics
Speaker 2: Administration program in colleges and high schools in the state
Speaker 2: of California alone. Accelerate and elevate your career by joining
Speaker 2: this vast community of excellence. Visit CUI dot edu, slash
Speaker 2: coaching and per our comment or commentary. In the last segment,
Speaker 2: he in a CUI dot eedu and coaching out there
Speaker 2: in uh in Utah, Okay high school football here in
Speaker 2: southern California, reins king over Texas, over Florida and most
Speaker 2: definitely over Utah, and I take it as a personal affront.
Speaker 4: High school football America is going to react the same
Speaker 4: way we just did.
Speaker 2: Right Like, Wait, sir Utah, who canceled Texas Florida California.
Speaker 2: That that there isn't a California team in there is
Speaker 2: is beyond egregious. But here's your fun fact.
Speaker 4: And again called me p that's the greatest compliment you've
Speaker 4: ever given me.
Speaker 2: Dave. I'm sorry, Dave. But because I call you Dave,
Speaker 2: I call you shack, I call you Damna sheeck. I
Speaker 2: think I've I've got to focus, I've got to narrow
Speaker 2: it into one name.
Speaker 4: But here it is, I celebrate you showing up drunk.
Speaker 2: Pistachios aren't nuts. They are, in fact droops, the family
Speaker 2: that includes cherries, peaches, and olives. Mean technically, the pistachio
Speaker 2: is a fruit, and ultimately what it is is the
Speaker 2: seeds of a fruit and the outer fruit is removed
Speaker 2: during processing, and what you're eating when you eat a
Speaker 2: pistachio is the seed of a fruit.
Speaker 4: This could really disrupt as we head down the home
Speaker 4: stretching the chase for the Chechy Award in the Granddaddy
Speaker 4: category of a all fruit of the year.
Speaker 2: Pistachio could be a point. I've had some of those
Speaker 2: sweet chili pistachios, or with a little bit of kick
Speaker 2: to them, the sparacha pistachios. They are a true treat.
Speaker 2: Top two nut.
Speaker 4: But now that it's not a nut, now that it's
Speaker 4: a fruit, beware, honey crisp apple. Darn right, you may
Speaker 4: catch a challenge yourself. I have a fun fact if
Speaker 4: I could throw one in real point for you. Uh,
Speaker 4: it's November twenty first. This is the wildest sports stat
Speaker 4: I think for real. Okay, Ken Griffy Junior born on
Speaker 4: this date among MLB ballplayers is only the has hit
Speaker 4: the second most. I gotta I gotta get the language
Speaker 4: right here. So people born on November twenty first in DeNora,
Speaker 4: Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh, Ken Griffy Junior has only the
Speaker 4: second most career home runs.
Speaker 2: From donor from DeNora, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: Born on November twenty first, Stan Musual has more home
Speaker 4: runs than Ken Griffey Junior does career.
Speaker 2: That wild right, that is wild? Still wilder?
Speaker 4: Do you know that the color orange got its name
Speaker 4: from from the fruit orange?
Speaker 2: And how's that possible?
Speaker 1: How did.
Speaker 2: How did the fruit precede the color it's in?
Speaker 6: It was?
Speaker 1: It was?
Speaker 2: It a black and white world. It's wild, isn't it?
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to it? What breaks my brain? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a hard one to reconcile. What came first? The
Speaker 2: color orange or the orange?
Speaker 4: Well, it has to be the color day one, when
Speaker 4: the fruit started showing up, the colors preceded them, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just a name. Maybe not burt.
Speaker 4: Umber, maybe not the maybe not the the real fancy ones,
Speaker 4: not that, not maybe not the cabernet. But I mean,
Speaker 4: like you know, red, blue, g I mean, orange had
Speaker 4: to exist before the fruits came around.
Speaker 2: It's it's odd that the fruit. But then again, like
Speaker 2: if you think about a cherry, there is a color
Speaker 2: called cherry, but it's cherry red. They put red after it,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like there there is a
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 4: No, because what you're saying is then it would be
Speaker 4: called the orange orange.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a red cherry. It's a black cherry.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. It is odd. It is very odd,
Speaker 2: all right, Quick hitsms, quick hits, come make it quick y'all.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right, We're gonna rip through these because
Speaker 2: of our fruit nut fun fact and other extensive conversation
Speaker 2: that we have anytime shit comes in, which is why
Speaker 2: we love having him. Dodgers non tendered Evan Phillips and
Speaker 2: Nick Frasso today. Phillips, free agent recovering from Tommy John,
Speaker 2: of course was their closer for a number of years,
Speaker 2: will not be available to pitch until late summer next season.
Speaker 2: Andrew Freeman, so of the Dodgers would consider signing him. Then,
Speaker 2: remember Brady Anderson. I love this story.
Speaker 4: You know, Mark McGuire, who has gotten the similar accusations
Speaker 4: and Stutch also became a hitting coach. As you know,
Speaker 4: the Halos have now hired Brady and Anderson to be
Speaker 4: their hitting coach.
Speaker 2: Now, local guy McGuire was mashing home runs, you know,
Speaker 2: while he was at SC, while he was a USA
Speaker 2: Olympian before he came across Jose Conseco, and you know,
Speaker 2: obviously made some poor choices like Barry Bonds did. But
Speaker 2: Brady Anderson's fifty home runs came out of nowhere. Yes, like, wait,
Speaker 2: he's got how many home runs?
Speaker 1: This guy?
Speaker 2: He's got like eight the year before seven, the year
Speaker 2: before fifty, the.
Speaker 4: Guy I always compared to Brady Anderson without the help
Speaker 4: of anything that, at least as far as I'm aware of,
Speaker 4: Mark Rippin with the Washington team whose name you're no
Speaker 4: longer allowed to say, in nineteen ninety one or nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety two. Yeah, it was one of those two years,
Speaker 4: fourteen and two, one of the real dominant teams of
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl era. But it was a fat comp
Speaker 4: leagu Yeah, it was a FATA compley that they were
Speaker 4: going to win the Super Bowl. They're gonna win it
Speaker 4: by a million points. And it was a buzzsaw for
Speaker 4: one year. A buzzsaw. And when people talk about Belichick
Speaker 4: and Chas Nol and Bill Walsh and whoever else, people
Speaker 4: always leave off Joe Gibbs. But when you talk about
Speaker 4: the greatest head coaches of the Super Bowl era, else
Speaker 4: won won Super Bowl with non Hall of Fame Qbs
Speaker 4: three times?
Speaker 2: Is that wild Williams? Thisman Ripping, Yeah, that's their three
Speaker 2: Super Bowl championships. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Amidst the in the age of Elway and Aikman and
Speaker 4: Steve Young and Joe Montana and all the rest of it,
Speaker 4: Marino couldn't get over the hump even once. Joe Gibbs
Speaker 4: did it three times with those guys who are borderline.
Speaker 2: Hamm and agers ninety one. Mark Rippin throws and remember
Speaker 2: they said different era thirty five hundred and sixty four
Speaker 2: yards and twenty eight touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Mark Rippin.
Speaker 2: Ernest Beiner's back there running the rock and Mark Rippin
Speaker 2: is freaking slinging it around his receivers. Gary Clark, Art Monk.
Speaker 2: It is one of the most fascinating teams because none
Speaker 2: of it makes any sense on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2: None of it. Wait, those guys are the ones right.
Speaker 2: It's just absolute madness. Where were we? Lakers have won
Speaker 2: three in a row. They're off till Sunday. Clippers are
Speaker 2: four and eleven. Now they're terrible. John Morant wants out
Speaker 2: of Memphis. LaMelo Ball wants out of Charlotte. UCLA could
Speaker 2: be playing their final home game ever at the Rose
Speaker 2: Bowl tomorrow. Washington's coming down. Jedfish reportedly wants the UCLA job.
Speaker 2: Usc Big One twelve thirty pm Saturday, taken on Oregon.
Speaker 4: And here's another one in a weekend of games. The
Speaker 4: teams just can't afford to lose if they want to
Speaker 4: win their division and make them hey. In January, the Rams,
Speaker 4: winners of five in a row, hosting the Tampa Bay
Speaker 4: Buccaneers in SOFI on Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 2: I'll take the Rams. They're on a heater man, chargers
Speaker 2: are off, They're on the Bibe and are availvalle and
Speaker 2: instant oil change home with a fifteen minute oil change,
Speaker 2: no appointment needed, Stay in your car service find a
Speaker 2: location near you at sokeloil change dot Com brings us
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh's weekly chat.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, we we got beat.
Speaker 7: And you know the positive of that is we can
Speaker 7: learn from it and that's and uh and we can
Speaker 7: be better for it. We'll have that opportunity and that's
Speaker 7: that's what we'll attack.
Speaker 1: The most important lessons to take away from.
Speaker 7: That really, I mean that list is really what we're compiling,
Speaker 7: you know, and uh, you know, any and every way
Speaker 7: we can.
Speaker 2: Any specifically when you think less wise you can.
Speaker 7: Take away from you like I said, like I said yesterday, Yeah,
Speaker 7: we we felt I think that, uh, we got beat
Speaker 7: every every which way you could be in every every
Speaker 7: every phase, every situation, situational phase of the game.
Speaker 1: Uh, just that.
Speaker 3: That's that message. And you know, and even even bigger
Speaker 3: than that is it's.
Speaker 7: Every guy in that room, every every player, every coach,
Speaker 7: every every staff member.
Speaker 3: You know, everybody has uh in their.
Speaker 7: Lives had issues that had to be fixed, and we
Speaker 7: have some football issues that have to be fixed. But
Speaker 7: everybody's good at it. Everybody knows how to do it. Uh,
Speaker 7: they care deeply and they're not going to back down.
Speaker 7: That's that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 8: Because we'll talk a lot about having paid in the veterans.
Speaker 1: Where do you think, what's your belief in that group?
Speaker 6: Guys?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like I said, it's the it's the whole
Speaker 7: team I have faith in and they do as well.
Speaker 7: I mean very very tough men plus faith. That's uh,
Speaker 7: that's what I believe. That's what I think of our
Speaker 7: team and every single guy, uh man, woman in the organization.
Speaker 7: You know, they've they've all had issues to fix h
Speaker 7: in their life and in their careers in football.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't be here if they weren't good at that.
Speaker 3: I know they know how to do it. I know
Speaker 3: they care, and I know they're not going to back down.
Speaker 2: And of course tomorrow as we wrap quick Hits, Dave
Speaker 2: Grand Prix, Las Vegas Grand Prix F one is in Vegas,
Speaker 2: a city of opulence and a sport with opulence, super
Speaker 2: superstars that make superstars look like character actors. Two red
Speaker 2: flags came out stop things in the second practice session
Speaker 2: because there was a loose maintenance Governor turned seventeen. It
Speaker 2: was very similar to the inaugural Vegas Grand Prix a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago when that water valve cover came
Speaker 2: loose on the strip. Damaged. Carlos signs Ferrari he Noo
Speaker 2: drives for Williams. But be sure to check in on
Speaker 2: the F one this weekend. That's me snoring. I don't care.
Speaker 3: It's not for me.
Speaker 4: I don't have room in my life to attack a
Speaker 4: new sport this lake.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you should check out cricket. Done and done.
Speaker 1: We'll be back with Don McClain. We've made it even
Speaker 1: easier to take LA Sports with you this summer. Make
Speaker 1: AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy LA
Speaker 1: Sports podcast a preset on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2: Using Apple car Play or Android Auto road trip all
Speaker 2: summer with LA Sports that chose some money joining us
Speaker 2: right now on a game day. He doesn't tell you
Speaker 2: to avert his eyes and not have a conversation with
Speaker 2: him when he's on the call number nineteen Ucla vers
Speaker 2: Presbyterian tonight at seven thirty pm on Big ten Network.
Speaker 2: He'll be there court side calling it. Dave damashek in
Speaker 2: for p and joining us now like he knows every
Speaker 2: Friday at great Don McClain, what's happening, Don, how's it
Speaker 2: going guys?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm getting ready to get in the car. We'll
Speaker 6: see if I've anything left in the tank. After last
Speaker 6: night's ball game down at the Galen Center, that was wild.
Speaker 2: What happened? Share it with us?
Speaker 6: Triple game winner at the buzzer from three down two
Speaker 6: for the win for USC.
Speaker 2: Early season college basketball. Don McClain is all over it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Let's start there then, Don, because mc cronin said that
Speaker 2: he doesn't believe in messaging, he doesn't believe in doghouses yeat.
Speaker 2: The last game, no Donovan dent out there Trent Perry
Speaker 2: to start the game instead. It was the twos and
Speaker 2: he said, look, these guys just played better in practice.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, well, they may have.
Speaker 6: I wasn't at practice, but they may have played better
Speaker 6: at practice, but it's more about and look, even though
Speaker 6: he says it's not a message, it was a message
Speaker 6: to the players that we need to get off the
Speaker 6: better starts and defensively, they just they won and they
Speaker 6: took Arizona the wire, but they just haven't had the
Speaker 6: same urgency, the same intensity on the defensive end, especially
Speaker 6: the start game. So I think that was why he
Speaker 6: did it. The interesting thing will be who he starts tonight,
Speaker 6: because that second group acerblal State's not very good, but
Speaker 6: they got off to they shut him out for the
Speaker 6: first I think four and a half minutes that starting
Speaker 6: group on Tuesday, and then there's a little bit of
Speaker 6: drop off in the second half. So it'll it'll be
Speaker 6: interesting to see when we when we get to Pauli tonight,
Speaker 6: who's starting.
Speaker 4: Don Uh, we've been over this already, so we don't
Speaker 4: need to rehash it once again. But of course it's
Speaker 4: nice to reconnect with donal Klin since this is going on.
Speaker 4: He broke my heart when I thought he might come
Speaker 4: to play on the on the banks of the Three Rivers.
Speaker 2: He came. I watched him playing time You're here and
Speaker 2: Don joins.
Speaker 4: Us his recruitment was still hanging in the balance when
Speaker 4: he played in the Dapper Dan Tournament and what was it,
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, that's that Calipari that was recruiting you. Uh.
Speaker 6: Calipari was an assistant for Paul Evans at that time.
Speaker 6: And Dave, I think I've told you this that that
Speaker 6: tells you how good of a recruiter is no offense
Speaker 6: to anybody from Pittsburgh. How good of a recruiter Calipari
Speaker 6: is that he can get a white kid from southern
Speaker 6: California to even visit Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: Ah, you would have been the missing piece. But anyway,
Speaker 4: let's talk about the here and now. Calipari. I don't
Speaker 4: know how many analytics he's applying here, but the word
Speaker 4: on the street is as they take over more and more,
Speaker 4: and it's I guess, sort of old, an old story
Speaker 4: at this point that the Lakers are lagging a little
Speaker 4: behind the rest of the league. How say you, are
Speaker 4: you aware of this and how important do you think
Speaker 4: it is for them to catch up?
Speaker 6: Well, it's interesting because JJ redd it kind of strikes
Speaker 6: me as an analytics guy, and so maybe that was
Speaker 6: the case in the past.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm not in that locker room. I'm not in those meetings,
Speaker 6: But you know, everybody's got their own opinion on analytics
Speaker 6: and how much they should be used. I'm involved with
Speaker 6: it in the pre draft process that I do in
Speaker 6: the spring with the CAA, who I work for. They
Speaker 6: have an analytics department when it comes to recruiting players,
Speaker 6: and players they already have that are in the NBA,
Speaker 6: and so I think everybody chooses how much they want
Speaker 6: to use analytics in terms of evaluation, in terms of performance,
Speaker 6: in terms of on the cord, who plays what, how
Speaker 6: many minutes. I'm of the opinion that it's somewhere in
Speaker 6: the middle. Like I don't think you should ignore all analytics,
Speaker 6: but I don't. I think if you're only using analytics,
Speaker 6: you're probably gonna miss some stuff.
Speaker 2: It's a salary cap league, don It's an intricate salary
Speaker 2: cap league because of the penalties for first aprin, second apron,
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, Like what do you think,
Speaker 2: what do you suspect Andrew Friedman in far Hanziety, you're
Speaker 2: gonna try to dig into try to figure out what
Speaker 2: the Lakers are doing right or aren't doing right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good question, and you know, I think
Speaker 6: that's kind of my point. And it'll be interesting to
Speaker 6: see what happens with two baseball guys coming into basketball
Speaker 6: and how they can apply what they've used to a
Speaker 6: great deal of success with the Dodgers into professional basketball.
Speaker 6: I mean, I think, and I may be speaking way
Speaker 6: out of turn here, but I feel like analytics is
Speaker 6: way more applied to baseball than basketball, or should be,
Speaker 6: at least from where I sit in what little I
Speaker 6: know about it. But it doesn't hurt to have guys
Speaker 6: that who have had success in another sport come and
Speaker 6: take a look at what you're doing in your sport.
Speaker 6: You know, they've done so well with the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: It just feels a little bit like a computer is
Speaker 4: making the difference. And I think that's unsatisfying on a
Speaker 4: visceral level for diehard sports fans. But what do the analytics,
Speaker 4: or more importantly, what does Don McClain say about LaMelo
Speaker 4: ball perhaps being a fit for the Clippers. They obviously
Speaker 4: goes without saying have not gotten off to a great start.
Speaker 4: Is you know, LaMelo is now dissatisfied in his situation.
Speaker 4: Any possibility of that happening.
Speaker 6: I mean, there's always a possibility. And here's the thing, Dave,
Speaker 6: that analytics doesn't measure. And this is where I have
Speaker 6: a problem with people that only rely on analytics. Doesn't
Speaker 6: measure heart, doesn't measure toughness, doesn't measure how you are
Speaker 6: in the locker room, doesn't measure how good of a
Speaker 6: teammate you are, doesn't measure how coachable you are. And
Speaker 6: so when you rely on oh, well, LaMelo does this,
Speaker 6: this and this, and this is what the numbers say,
Speaker 6: and you bring it And I'm not saying he's going
Speaker 6: to I'm just saying it's the possibility you bring him
Speaker 6: into your locker room and he and he puts it
Speaker 6: up in flames because of his personality. And this is
Speaker 6: for any player. And that's why when you solely rely
Speaker 6: on analytics, you're walking a slippery slope because there's so
Speaker 6: much more that goes into it than just what the
Speaker 6: numbers say on the court.
Speaker 4: But do they need to do something that might feel
Speaker 4: a little rash to try and salvage this season?
Speaker 6: Uh? And I said this last week. You weren't there obviously, Dave.
Speaker 6: But it just it's it's the same old thing for
Speaker 6: the Clippers. There's always something, always something, and he usually
Speaker 6: revolves around Kawhi Leonard and he's not playing and they'll
Speaker 6: say we're waiting for him to get back, just like
Speaker 6: they said for the last six or seven years, and
Speaker 6: it just goes round and round. So yeah, bring in
Speaker 6: mellow ball and yeah, maybe that'll help, but it ain't
Speaker 6: gonna change what's been happening for the last you know,
Speaker 6: five to seven years. When Kawhi and PG came, it
Speaker 6: was it's it's it's it had been one thing after another,
Speaker 6: and it's still one thing after another.
Speaker 2: And if it keeps getting worse. The fact that there's
Speaker 2: an unprotected lottery pick headed to Oklahoma City in this
Speaker 2: any draft, holy holy right if Boozer's on that team
Speaker 2: or Demands or one of those guys, my god, yeah,
Speaker 2: well yeah yeah, And you know.
Speaker 6: Again, that's just another fallout from the failed PG Kawhi thing.
Speaker 6: Like they celebrated when those two came, like they were
Speaker 6: going to win multiple championships, and they've been to the
Speaker 6: Western Conference Finals once. As pg's gone and so are
Speaker 6: all their draft picks.
Speaker 2: It's that when I saw that today, unprotected and they're
Speaker 2: four and ten with the fourth worst or tied for
Speaker 2: the fourth worst number of wins in the league. That's
Speaker 2: that's absolutely terrifying considering and by.
Speaker 6: The way, in Matt this is a really good this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good to the Lakers. Done and Lebron's return
Speaker 2: twelve assists, one turnover, said that it was laughable that
Speaker 2: anybody questioned whether or not he'd figure out how to
Speaker 2: fit in that he can fit in anywhere. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you had a chance to watch the game
Speaker 2: against Utah, if you saw the highlights or whatever, but look,
Speaker 2: he looked great. He was moving the ball, you know,
Speaker 2: from the corner, from the mid post, and it looked
Speaker 2: fantastic when he and Luca were out there. But then
Speaker 2: I looked at the plus minus and it was kind
Speaker 2: of weird. It was minus eleven when he and Luca
Speaker 2: were on the court, and plus seventeen when it was
Speaker 2: Lebron no Luca, plus seventeen Luca no Lebron. I know
Speaker 2: it's one game, but do you think there is something
Speaker 2: to that? Because they're both so good with the ball
Speaker 2: in their.
Speaker 6: Hands, Maybe I think that's something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 6: But I do think, and I think I said this
Speaker 6: to YOUOT a few weeks ago that I hoped that
Speaker 6: this was the approach that Lebron would take, did not
Speaker 6: just come in there and you know, not kick Luca
Speaker 6: to the side, but try and outduel him or score
Speaker 6: as many as him. That he kind of took a
Speaker 6: back seat and became a facilitator in a ball mover.
Speaker 6: And you know, I think if it's going to work,
Speaker 6: really work long term with the Lakers, I think that's
Speaker 6: how it's going to have to be. It's Luca's world,
Speaker 6: Lebron's playing in it, and he's helping not only Luca
Speaker 6: but the rest of the team with his IQ. And
Speaker 6: that doesn't get talked about enough. How smart Lebron James is.
Speaker 6: Whether you like him or not, you can't deny that
Speaker 6: he is one of the smartest basketball players that's ever played.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought it up in that way because intellectually,
Speaker 4: I'm sure Lebron James, and if he can remove the
Speaker 4: ego of who he is and has been in the league,
Speaker 4: understands that Luca should be the main man on the team.
Speaker 4: But obviously heavyweight boxers have a hard time calling it
Speaker 4: quits when obviously it's done for them. Quarterbacks who are
Speaker 4: one time superstars have a hard time repressing the desire
Speaker 4: to be the difference in an offense, to be more
Speaker 4: of a passenger like Peyton Manning when they won the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl Sego. How hard do you imagine that is
Speaker 4: for Lebron right now to accept?
Speaker 6: Well, I think Lebron is well aware obviously of his legacy,
Speaker 6: and I think what his motivation would be if it
Speaker 6: stays the way it is, is to win another championship,
Speaker 6: and that supersedes everything. When you're done playing, people remember
Speaker 6: your career for what you did, not really so much individually,
Speaker 6: but how many championships you won, and that's across the board.
Speaker 6: And I think that is Lebron's motivation is if you
Speaker 6: somehow this Laker team could position themselves to make a
Speaker 6: run in the playoffs and potentially win a championship, he
Speaker 6: could walk away having done that in his last year.
Speaker 6: And I think that that probably in his mind. I'm
Speaker 6: sure outweighs anything, numbers, you know, totals, anything like that.
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Don have a great call tonight, Big
Speaker 2: ten Network, UCLA Presbyterian, check it out. He'll be on

Speaker 2: can get the hell out of here. Here we go.
Speaker 4: This is this one's gonna be great for Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: Here we Go Happy would have been ninety seventh birthday
Speaker 4: to Georgia Frontier born Violet Francis Irwin, who all right.
Speaker 2: Oh she's dead too soon. She's been dead for a while,
Speaker 2: so you can boo, you're gonna say it's okay. Also,
Speaker 2: no longer with us. Joe McDonald celebrated her death, really celebrated.
Speaker 2: I mean it was an honor. Were you producing his
Speaker 2: show when she died case part of it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he really had a celebration. Ding dong,
Speaker 2: the witch is dead. Listen.
Speaker 4: There are few deeds that a high profile richie rich
Speaker 4: can commit that will upset a town, a sports town,
Speaker 4: more than one of those richie riches moving that team away.
Speaker 2: So I get it. I feel for the team. Shit
Speaker 2: have never been hers in the first place, though, that's
Speaker 2: the problem.
Speaker 1: Up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we ruining the dead guy. Here we go and
Speaker 2: raised in Saint Louis.
Speaker 4: When she was fifteen, Frontier he married a young US
Speaker 4: marine who was heading to Europe during WW two.
Speaker 2: The union was quickly annulled.
Speaker 4: A few years later, Georgia and her mom moved to Fresno,
Speaker 4: where she performed at dinner theaters alongside her mom and
Speaker 4: a duo, the Pamela Sisters. During this time, Georgia married
Speaker 4: her second husband, who was killed in a car accident
Speaker 4: near San Francisco shortly after. The couple had weed. All right, now,
Speaker 4: something's getting fishy here, I'm aware of this. In the
Speaker 4: early fifties, Frontier he worked as a urologist secretary while
Speaker 4: acting at a local theater. It was there she met
Speaker 4: her third husband. The couple divorced a short time later.
Speaker 4: She later married her fourth husband, a stage manager at
Speaker 4: the Sacramento Music Circus, but the couple.
Speaker 2: Split after five years.
Speaker 4: In the late fifties, Frontier he moved to Miami and
Speaker 4: hosted her own television interview show. During this time, Frontiery
Speaker 4: met her fifth husband, a Miami TV producer to whom
Speaker 4: she was ma married for a short time.
Speaker 2: It's in sanity, It's truly insane. This was the case.
Speaker 4: She also performed at a nightclub singer and my performed
Speaker 4: as a nightclub singer in Miami, where she met Baltimore
Speaker 4: Colts owner Carol Rosenbloom, who was separated from his first
Speaker 4: wife Rosenbloom in Frontiera were engaged in nineteen sixty, but
Speaker 4: it took Rosenbloom ten years to divorce his first wife,
Speaker 4: Rosenbloom in Frontiery married in nineteen sixty six, though they'd
Speaker 4: been together for eight years and had two children by
Speaker 4: that point. In nineteen seventy two, Carol Rosenbloom traded ownership
Speaker 4: of the Baltimore Colts for ownership of the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 4: In April seventy nine, Carol Rosenbloom drowned while swimming, while
Speaker 4: Ray Charles sings about it. Drownd while swimming near a
Speaker 4: Florida beach from an apparent heart attack. Some believe there
Speaker 4: was foul play because Georgia inherited a seventy percent ownership
Speaker 4: stake in the La Rang What do you know, Rosenbloom's
Speaker 4: five children inherited the other thirty percent during her year.
Speaker 4: There's his owner. Front of Airy moved the Rams twice,
Speaker 4: first relocating from the LA Memorial Coliseum in nineteen eighty
Speaker 4: to Anaheim, which, when I talked to longtime Los Angeles
Speaker 4: sports fans, that was the misstep. Yeah, the Saint Louis
Speaker 4: thing was was besides the point, it was redundant. Leaving
Speaker 4: La County was the real crime to longtime Rams fans,
Speaker 4: but then she did move them to Saint Louis in
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety five. In two thousand and seven, Georgia was
Speaker 4: diagnosed with cancer. She would die a year later in
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight, when she was eighty. When she died,
Speaker 4: the Rams were sold off to a minority owner named
Speaker 4: Stan Cronkey.
Speaker 2: I've heard of them who currently.
Speaker 4: Owns the Rams and brought them back to LA and
Speaker 4: built so far happy. Would have been ninety seventh birthday
Speaker 4: to Georgia Frontiery.
Speaker 2: Well somebody much more familiar here in the southern California area.
Speaker 2: For your live guy Birthday of the day, it's Canadian News.
Speaker 2: Canadian News.
Speaker 8: You don't rick our show you boezer, Hey the Canadian
Speaker 8: Jimmy Hendrix check born in Montreal, the man who founded
Speaker 8: Mahogany Rush.
Speaker 2: Listen to these licks, Listen to these chords, man, this
Speaker 2: song Land of a thousand chords. Eh started playing drums
Speaker 2: when he was five, kicked ass at dat wanted to
Speaker 2: grab that guepar when he was around thirteen because he
Speaker 2: heard Hendrix Mahogany Rush nineteen sixty nine. Marino founds the
Speaker 2: band surrounding his lead guitar calls it grateful dead meets jazz.
Speaker 2: Doesn't quite sound like that. The vocals even sound like Hendrick. Yeah.
Speaker 2: In an effort to gain press attention in the original
Speaker 2: record company created a fictional story that Frank Marino, prior
Speaker 2: to starting the band, had spent time in a mental
Speaker 2: institution after taking LSD and was visited by Jimmy Hendrix
Speaker 2: in a vision fansible bags quite detailed that got him
Speaker 2: a hit with Strange Dreams, Good old Canadian content laws.
Speaker 2: You know you got to play so many Canadian artists
Speaker 2: on there, uh public airwaves. Another single a new rock
Speaker 2: and roll also on the Canadian charts. Bands loved them.
Speaker 2: Whenever they would tour Canada, Mahogany Rush would open for
Speaker 2: the likes of Aerosmith and the Nuge. They started going
Speaker 2: by Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, and of course that
Speaker 2: led to a split. In the eighties, Marino released a
Speaker 2: couple of solo albums, didn't do much commercially, but he
Speaker 2: was a hired gun on the guitar. He opened a
Speaker 2: studio and then the Internet boom happened. Marino was floor
Speaker 2: when his YouTube channel started getting serious traction from guitar
Speaker 2: virtuosos quote, I always knew I had fans, I just
Speaker 2: didn't know i'd find a half a million of them.
Speaker 2: So he got the band back together. Mahogany Rush starts
Speaker 2: touring again. They released a new album, Eye of the Storm,
Speaker 2: sold out gigs, but sadly with his new found fame
Speaker 2: that had eluded him outside of Canada, Nerve damage in
Speaker 2: the hand. I couldn't pluck the strings anymore. But the
Speaker 2: guitar player says, quote, his tone is unmistakable. He's a
Speaker 2: full spectrum guitar god, as identifiable as sound as Jeff Beck,
Speaker 2: Eddie Van Halend and the Edge our man Francesco Antonio
Speaker 2: Marino seventy one today. Well listen he I am new
Speaker 2: to his noise.
Speaker 4: But so I have to agree with the cynics who says,
Speaker 4: sounds exactly like Jimmy Hendricks, just produced a little bit differently.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, and again, you know, if you could play
Speaker 2: the guitar like Hendricks, why not give it a strump?
Speaker 4: I always wonder how did the other guys in Bond,
Speaker 4: Jovie Fiel, we wrote.
Speaker 2: Some songs too, man. You know, sam Borg got to
Speaker 2: connect with Locklear there for a while out of bad deal.
Speaker 4: Hey Dave, we're all in the Dave Matthews man, We've
Speaker 4: been with you for a long time.
Speaker 2: How about in company, say David Lee Roth and Ben Halen.
Speaker 2: You know what happens.
Speaker 4: You accepted Alvin and the Chipmunks. Those are the ones
Speaker 4: I feel the worst for it. Why does Alvin get
Speaker 4: the shine? We're also magic chipmunks who know how to sing.
Speaker 4: Why do you get first, Billy? Why are we just
Speaker 4: the chipmunk A couple of suckers?
Speaker 2: Simon's couple couple? Batis Theodore is too dumb to know
Speaker 2: what's going on. I'd be wrong. I'm not taking the state.
Speaker 2: Take that home with you, folks for Simon and Theodore
Speaker 2: wronged by Alvin on that over the course of the
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Thank you, Dave, thank you. Coming up next, Fox
Speaker 2: Sports Radio,
