We make it easy. Dave 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.920 asking Jonas what position he was playing in the Little 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.200 League game made me laugh pepsi out of my nose. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.840 I thought it was rude. Uh, you guys aren't to 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.080 the coach pitch level yet. No, we are, Oh the 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:24.200 coach pitch of the machine. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.640 Oh yeah, so anounce the machine pitch. I probably probably 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:28.560 went up a little too soon. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.760 We're being honest. He's the youngest kid on the team, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.599 and uh, well, you know his dad does sports talk radio. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.479 We better get it together. Got a lot of pull 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.919 out there. You better get it together, kid, You freaking weirdo. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.599 Hey, by the way, do you think Scott Wiland? Do 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.600 you respect him? Would you consider STP a grunge band. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:47.920 Back in that era? 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.400 I think they're a grunge band, but I also think 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.279 that they have some crossover qualities into just regular rock 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.440 and roll because I think he's the only Have you 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.400 seen them with the guy, the American I guy or 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.400 whenever that guy the voice guy I saw? Well, I 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.159 just I ran into it because I was hosting the 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.240 stream for Beach Life, So it's not like I seeked 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.320 it out. I would never go to an STV show 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.400 just because I don't want to end up standing next 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:18.520 to Mark Willard. But thank you. I knew you'd get it. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.760 Thank you. Somebody's got to get it, somebody here. Nobody 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.680 else gets it. But for cover yourself, police are coming yourself. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.279 I don't want to go, like you know, I like 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.279 to do this show a structure, you know, in the 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:42.120 words of Jim Lampley, right have pat Yeah, I was 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.279 hosted Beach Live so STP and I think the two 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.440 brothers live in Pallas Burdi. Yeah. I run into those 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.360 guys a lot, like they have kids in the Little 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.960 League and stuff like that, and they're really nice guys. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.960 I don't really know them at all, but they're really 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.880 nice guys, and everybody says they're really nice people, and 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.960 they're very understated and they just kind of skulk around Pallas. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.560 Verdi's the guys from Stone Temple Pilots and we all 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.280 know what happened to Wiland, which is sad. But I 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.000 saw them at the Beach Life at Redondo, And first 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.680 of all, that's a really tight band. You kind of 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.520 notice those things like you see a band like that 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.279 live and like they go on stage and they just 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.080 start and they click in and just you know, you're like, oh, damn. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.320 And the guy was great. He had a lot of 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.359 energy and the wrap around looks on and he was 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.599 just young and he looked like he looked like a 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.359 fake Wiland. But he sounded great. And you know, the 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.520 sound of the band is the sound of the band 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.280 that's still there. So I was, I was. I liked it. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.200 I was like, damn, this is really cool. I'm sure 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.359 it was great. I mean, way better when it was 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.840 the original and he probably you know, could have been 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.400 maybe sober that night. It would have been a really 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.040 good show. But I thought that they were really cool 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.080 when I saw them. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.479 I think he's the only meadhead lead singer of that 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.880 era because, like, let's think about it this because he 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.480 was a former football player, right, Scott Wiland, Ye played football. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.279 But you think Kurt Cobain knew what a Don Joy 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.520 knee brace was, Scott Wiland. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.320 No, I think Kurt Cobain probably couldn't defend himself in 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:15.000 a fight, yes, Scott Wiland, and neither could Novaselich. Maybe 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.200 your brother see I can't have these conversations with Matt 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.840 Well because he was the music director at k Rock, 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.679 So it's always like, well, you know, that's how Scott 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.920 was back in the day. I remember being at Scott 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.280 at the whiskey at Go Go Back in Chicago in 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.239 nineteen ninety. That's just like, Okay, we can't we can't 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.560 just have like an idiot conversation about it because he 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.200 knows everybody and you know, all the all the rock 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.920 singers like, uh yeah, I remember that band Buck Cherry 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.240 be like, yeah, Joey, I. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:48.280 Remember, like if you gathered Layne Staley, Dave Grohl, Kurt Cobain, 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:50.560 Chris I'm pretty. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.040 Sure Hartman could beat all those guys up or Scott 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.960 Wiland and you just say Cornell Cornell is a big 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.960 animal though he was kind of like the who's the 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.920 guy in the who plays Aquaman? Terrible actor, big hairy guy. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.880 Oh Jason Momoa yeah, Momoa, Yeah, that's what your guy 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.480 Cornell was to the grudge. He's like the Momoa of grudge. Yeah. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:12.920 But if you're like in a room and they say, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.400 all right, word association or does anybody know what this is? 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.680 And somebody just says cowboy caller Wyland's the only guy 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.600 raising his hand. A true meathead as far as the 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:22.640 grunge music era. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.960 Yeah yeah, I mean if you're talking about I mean, 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.960 now I'm going to sound like Matt and this is see, 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.000 this is the problem. If you're talking about nineties music. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.600 The number one meathead is the lead singer of a 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.840 great indie rock band called Guided by Voice. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:37.080 Oh. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.840 I thought you were gonna say Henry Rowlands. No, not 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:45.160 Henry Rowlands. Guided by Voices. Robert Pollard, right, Ronnie. Robert Pollard, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.920 the lead singer of Guided by Voices, was not just 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.680 a meathead. He was a math teacher during the day. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.560 He'd get drunk at night and sing all those weird 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.959 indie rock songs. He was a pitcher at Wayne State 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.360 and he did pitch a no hitter while he was there, 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.000 no kidding. Yeah, so that to me, like you know, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.400 I mean, I know that, I mean, Guided by Voices 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.560 is not as popular as Don't Temple Pilots. But to me, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:12.440 the ultimate meathead sportsman lead singer is Robert Pollard because 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.920 he pitched a no hitter. Born in Ohio, yeah, oh, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.440 they were Dayton, Ohio. Brady Quinns from Ohio. He's a meathead. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.360 Yeah that makes sense. There is no bigger meathead that 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.319 dog haunts. Yeah. How how was the two prosident a 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.320 cup of Joe? What happened?

The ocean's lullaby 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:23.720 can call even the most restless frogmen like Steve Hartman 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.600 from a very restless soul. You're on the Pettersen Money Show. Frogmen. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.679 We like to celebrate the fragments of the sea and 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:37.120 those that protect us from it, lifeguards, coastguards, harmer patrol, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:44.640 the police, everybody the baby. We also like to celebrate 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.120 the great Lloyd Bridges, who played one of the great 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.960 characters in the history of television, shot right off the 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.800 coast and Rancha Palace Burns at Marine Land of the 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.800 Pacific now known as the Taraana Resort Hotel. I'm talking 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.560 about Mike Milson Sea hunts. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.280 Suddenly an anchor came crashing down from topside, missed me 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.640 by ashes. A man in the anchor line grind at 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.640 me playfully. It wasn't funny. Underwater is no place for 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.199 practical jokes. And if I could have talked, I'd have 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:15.360 chewed them out right there. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.960 All right, Underwater is no place for practical jokes.

Okay, yeah, are you not thinking about Frogman 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.400 Friday while you're there? Every time? Well, first of all, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.240 the Terrannea Fox events started a really long time ago, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.120 and I've exhausted the marine land story. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.000 By the way, for people that don't know, Rob Stone 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.480 also not allowed to be on the show. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.760 Well, no, no, we're okay, We're okay. With the Stoner. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.720 I did a I helped his son with a report 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:06.560 about reggae or something. His son at Tcuro's like, I 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.560 can't do it. I'm doing a bowling event. Yeah, his son, 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:14.160 like Bob Stone or the young Stoner. I did. I 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.600 helped him with like a broadcasting thing or something. So 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.600 we're back. We're not on bad graces. We just wanted 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.320 to get Stone on when he was doing a bowling 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.240 event and Mookie Betts was at and he said, guys, 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.439 I don't have time. They were like, what you said? 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.240 Excuse me if Brady tell you the story about when 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.480 they went to see Rob Stone. So he was doing 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.240 a bowling event in Florida and Brady Quinn and his 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.920 wife and their thirty eight hundred kids show up to 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.440 this bowling event and they make signs and they're making 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.240 all this stuff to try and celebrate his buddy, Rob Stone. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.840 I guess the people at the bowling event are like, hey, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.800 it's not that type of place here, Like you gotta 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.679 like really keep quiet, you can't make noise. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.600 So they had all these sides. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.400 They were so excited to see him when they walked in, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.480 like no, no, no, no, no, no, this isn't what that's about. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.679 Yeah, that's kind of what's my experience trying to get 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.880 Rob On to talk about Mookie Bets at the bowling 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.520 I didn't know the bowling event was like Bobby Fisher 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:15.680 playing chess in Russia. Sorry my bad. But Rob Stone 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.320 at the Terranea, which is old marine Land, which was 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.280 a lot of people don't know this anymore, but there 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.000 used to be a marine land style park with killer 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.720 whales and a narwall and look, the killers whales were 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.520 Orkie and Corky. There was the Baja reef where you 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.360 could swim with sharks. And I hate this because every 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.720 time I go on with Tim Conway, he tries to 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.120 get me to talk about it, like because it's funny 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.120 to him, like, hey, dig dog, what do you think 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.200 happened down there in the old Tarrannelle used to be Marineland, right, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.840 b blah blah blah. And I'm like, they named the 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:51.160 kid from Life Goes On after a whale. It's possible, Okay, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.920 I mean Corky I think is not only the whales name, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.560 but I think one of them Orkie or Quirky. When 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.960 they closed Marine Land when I was in elementary school, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.840 they closed Marineland and they moved those two killer whales 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.160 to Texas. And one of them bit the arm off 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.640 of a trainer and then the other one drowned or 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.360 the same one I think bit the arm off of 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.800 a trainer. So there's like a nub arm guy walking 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.040 around just like the Tiger King lady. And then one 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.880 of them just took one down to the deep and 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.480 drowned one. They did not want to leave Marineland in 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.600 the Pacific we go apparently, But yeah, I have told 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.040 that story too many times, like to Joe Buck, to 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.000 Troy Ach when you know what used to be here. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.680 So it's kind of like to the point where I 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.400 just don't tell the story anymore. Also, the Fox Seminar, 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.720 me being me and being from the area, and all 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.160 the different people that show up inevitably, like even your 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.680 friends like Joel Klatt and Rob Stone and all of 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.560 those people, like you're talking to them, but they're looking 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.280 over your shoulder for somebody more important to talk to, like, 0:15:55.320 --> 0:16:00.480 oh is that Pete Schreger? Who is there? That is 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.520 my life at the Fox Seminar, where people are like, so, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.400 how's your family, I'm like, oh, you know, pretty good. 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.080 My kids are kind of a nightmare. Oh excuse me, Hey, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.120 great to see you, Kenny, Albert, Reggie, what are you 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:16.200 doing here? It's kind of sad, all right? Joining us. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.920 Next we will have Alan Sleiwah. We have a big 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.720 announcement coming up at the end of this hour, a 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.680 big announcement you're not gonna want to miss. And you're thinking, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.800 what's in it for me? And I'm gonna answer you 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.480 a lot idiot. A lot of it is in it 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:36.080 for you. David Vasse will join us for a Steve 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:43.800 Hartman midday Show postgame interview. That things took off like 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:48.480 a rocket. Did you hear that Dave was over Yeah, 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.520 he couldn't get in. Well, you got Hartman over here, 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:56.760 just firing bullets at me like a freaking mortar machine. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.440 I miss seeing him in that chair. I love harm. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:05.240 His hair hasn't changed color. It's amazing the vitality. I mean, 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.520 I'm gray here the guys thirty years older than me. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.520 I also don't think the Steve Hartman owns a jacket. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.000 I think it's all station issued polo shirts. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.480 I always thought it was just like a snap on 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:23.280 lego hair. That's great, We'll be back with sleiwa The 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.320 Lakers are hot and Lebron is sacrificing. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:40.200 This is Petro Send Money to Man demand it's cracking. 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.520 Everybody, welcome back.

It was a lottery 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.000 team last night, the Bulls in town. The Lakers played them, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:09.919 and that's why Lebron played. That's my opinion. What do 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.080 you guys? What are you getting that there? Joining us 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:16.240 now a star Hoops talk on YouTube which got a 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.360 lot of heat on it, and of course right here 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:24.520 on the A five seventy LA Sports iHeartRadio app and 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:30.560 all our shows and Beyond reports every day and does 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.840 a great job covering pro basketball and the Lakers for us, 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:39.680 among others. Alan Sliwa on your Southern California Toyota Dealer 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:45.399 Celebrity Hotline after the Lakers looking hot headed towards the 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.720 playoffs during March Madness, what's cracking? Alan? How are you? 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.840 I'm doing good, brother, I'm doing good. I love that 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.119 little they beat the Chicago Bulls. Lebron came back for 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.080 the lottery team. I like that. I like you just 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.199 had of you very sly threw that in there. I 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:01.439 like that. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.960 It's because I'm a bad person and if I just 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.120 say things straight up, I mean, what fun is that? 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.320 But it is interesting, Alan, though. The Lakers are playing well, 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.679 and it kind of started when Lebron went out with 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.560 his I don't know which elbow was it. I don't 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.639 know if he did, but see you know that to 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.439 not I did it again, and I'm sorry. Tell us 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.520 about the momentum behind Austin Reeves and Luca. It's certainly 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.919 a fun watch, not unreminiscent to what we saw at 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:30.879 the beginning of the season. 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.159 Yeah, listen, I think the Reeves piece of this is 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.440 such a critical piece for the Lakers. I think their 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:42.560 record now after beating Chicago yesterday, they're nineteen and three 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.000 when he scores twenty or more points. So it's such 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.280 a critical, critical piece for the Lakers to have Austin Reeves, 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.200 not just you know, Chip in sixteen fifteen something along 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.000 those lines. But when we were watching Austin Reeves the 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.040 beginning of the season, remember Lebron missed the first fourteen games, 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.600 and we were watching Austin Reeves as just the true 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:08.840 true facilitator, a ball handler, a scorer, somebody that can 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.080 get to the free throw line. And I'm not telling 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.840 you it's perfect. And Austin Reeves in these last handful 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.600 of games, I think it's three games in a row. Now, 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.639 the Knicks, the Minnesota Timbles, and then yesterday against Chicago Bulls, 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.240 he just looks more like himself. And if that means 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.000 whatever that pecking order is, or if that means all right, 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.320 more minutes with Luca and Ar, whatever, it looks like 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.360 they need to do more of it, because the Lakers 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.360 are more dangerous when Luca and Ar are the two 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.240 focal points on the offensive side. And I do think 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.680 Lebron has the capability of playing a different type of 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.640 role where I think Luca and Ar probably are more 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.520 just the best version of themselves when they're on the ball. 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.960 So knowing the team as well as you do watching them, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.719 covering them, discussing them, even though everybody recognizes that that 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.959 is possible, and maybe he is capable of doing that 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.719 and letting those two guys in essence be the stars 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.199 and the focal points. How realistic do you think that 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.600 is to expect Lebron James, at this stage of his career, 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.960 with his reputation, to actually be welcome to that idea. 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.120 I honestly, I think it is realistic, and I'll tell 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:12.720 you why. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:14.359 It is. 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.520 It's been the conversation for the last week, and all 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.080 of a sudden, the Lakers without Lebron started beating some 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.280 teams that are above five hundred in their playoff teams, 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.320 and we see how bad the Lakers have been beating 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.879 anybody that's of significance, either in the Western Conference or 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:32.200 in the East. They beat the Knicks, they beat the 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.400 Minnesota Timberwolves, and I think it's just kind of that's 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.879 the chatter right now. The chatter is is Lebron able 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:40.600 to take a little bit more of a back seat. 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.119 I think if you're forty one years old, you should 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.840 be welcoming this, and I think it's a good look 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.000 for Lebron if he does do it. It's also the 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.920 only shot that the Lakers have. And again, this isn't 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:52.840 just a Lebron problem, because I could point out other 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:54.520 issues with the Lakers, but I think it's the only 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.400 shot you have of winning a first round matchup and 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.480 maybe making some noise in the second rounds. Got to 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.480 be Luca, the guy that you brought over, that you 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.680 traded for, that you handed the keys to the franchise, 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.720 who put up fifty one, ten and nine yesterday, and 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.399 then Austin Reeves has to be a player that is 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.200 as close to an All Star caliber guard, and that's 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.160 the only way that that's going to happen. I think 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.000 Lebron is open to it. I think Lebron to the 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:22.200 best of his ability. Hopefully, maybe I'm being too confident 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.760 here when I say this, but I think he'll understand 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.240 and realize it's also a good good look for Lebron 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:31.320 by being more of a team player and hopefully everybody sacrifices. 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.760 Would you say if they want to win a first 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.879 round matchup? Is that the goal? Is that considered a 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.320
