Speaker 1: League game made me laugh pepsi out of my nose.
Speaker 1: I thought it was rude. Uh, you guys aren't to
Speaker 1: the coach pitch level yet. No, we are, Oh the
Speaker 1: coach pitch of the machine.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so anounce the machine pitch. I probably probably
Speaker 3: went up a little too soon.
Speaker 1: We're being honest. He's the youngest kid on the team,
Speaker 1: and uh, well, you know his dad does sports talk radio.
Speaker 1: We better get it together. Got a lot of pull
Speaker 1: out there. You better get it together, kid, You freaking weirdo.
Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, do you think Scott Wiland? Do
Speaker 3: you respect him? Would you consider STP a grunge band.
Speaker 4: Back in that era?
Speaker 1: I think they're a grunge band, but I also think
Speaker 1: that they have some crossover qualities into just regular rock
Speaker 1: and roll because I think he's the only Have you
Speaker 1: seen them with the guy, the American I guy or
Speaker 1: whenever that guy the voice guy I saw? Well, I
Speaker 1: just I ran into it because I was hosting the
Speaker 1: stream for Beach Life, So it's not like I seeked
Speaker 1: it out. I would never go to an STV show
Speaker 1: just because I don't want to end up standing next
Speaker 1: to Mark Willard. But thank you. I knew you'd get it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Somebody's got to get it, somebody here. Nobody
Speaker 1: else gets it. But for cover yourself, police are coming yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go, like you know, I like
Speaker 1: to do this show a structure, you know, in the
Speaker 1: words of Jim Lampley, right have pat Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: hosted Beach Live so STP and I think the two
Speaker 1: brothers live in Pallas Burdi. Yeah. I run into those
Speaker 1: guys a lot, like they have kids in the Little
Speaker 1: League and stuff like that, and they're really nice guys.
Speaker 1: I don't really know them at all, but they're really
Speaker 1: nice guys, and everybody says they're really nice people, and
Speaker 1: they're very understated and they just kind of skulk around Pallas.
Speaker 1: Verdi's the guys from Stone Temple Pilots and we all
Speaker 1: know what happened to Wiland, which is sad. But I
Speaker 1: saw them at the Beach Life at Redondo, And first
Speaker 1: of all, that's a really tight band. You kind of
Speaker 1: notice those things like you see a band like that
Speaker 1: live and like they go on stage and they just
Speaker 1: start and they click in and just you know, you're like, oh, damn.
Speaker 1: And the guy was great. He had a lot of
Speaker 1: energy and the wrap around looks on and he was
Speaker 1: just young and he looked like he looked like a
Speaker 1: fake Wiland. But he sounded great. And you know, the
Speaker 1: sound of the band is the sound of the band
Speaker 1: that's still there. So I was, I was. I liked it.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, this is really cool. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it was great. I mean, way better when it was
Speaker 1: the original and he probably you know, could have been
Speaker 1: maybe sober that night. It would have been a really
Speaker 1: good show. But I thought that they were really cool
Speaker 1: when I saw them.
Speaker 3: I think he's the only meadhead lead singer of that
Speaker 3: era because, like, let's think about it this because he
Speaker 3: was a former football player, right, Scott Wiland, Ye played football.
Speaker 3: But you think Kurt Cobain knew what a Don Joy
Speaker 3: knee brace was, Scott Wiland.
Speaker 1: No, I think Kurt Cobain probably couldn't defend himself in
Speaker 1: a fight, yes, Scott Wiland, and neither could Novaselich. Maybe
Speaker 1: your brother see I can't have these conversations with Matt
Speaker 1: Well because he was the music director at k Rock,
Speaker 1: So it's always like, well, you know, that's how Scott
Speaker 1: was back in the day. I remember being at Scott
Speaker 1: at the whiskey at Go Go Back in Chicago in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. That's just like, Okay, we can't we can't
Speaker 1: just have like an idiot conversation about it because he
Speaker 1: knows everybody and you know, all the all the rock
Speaker 1: singers like, uh yeah, I remember that band Buck Cherry
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, Joey, I.
Speaker 3: Remember, like if you gathered Layne Staley, Dave Grohl, Kurt Cobain,
Speaker 3: Chris I'm pretty.
Speaker 1: Sure Hartman could beat all those guys up or Scott
Speaker 1: Wiland and you just say Cornell Cornell is a big
Speaker 1: animal though he was kind of like the who's the
Speaker 1: guy in the who plays Aquaman? Terrible actor, big hairy guy.
Speaker 1: Oh Jason Momoa yeah, Momoa, Yeah, that's what your guy
Speaker 1: Cornell was to the grudge. He's like the Momoa of grudge. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But if you're like in a room and they say,
Speaker 3: all right, word association or does anybody know what this is?
Speaker 3: And somebody just says cowboy caller Wyland's the only guy
Speaker 3: raising his hand. A true meathead as far as the
Speaker 3: grunge music era.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean if you're talking about I mean,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to sound like Matt and this is see,
Speaker 1: this is the problem. If you're talking about nineties music.
Speaker 1: The number one meathead is the lead singer of a
Speaker 1: great indie rock band called Guided by Voice.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say Henry Rowlands. No, not
Speaker 1: Henry Rowlands. Guided by Voices. Robert Pollard, right, Ronnie. Robert Pollard,
Speaker 1: the lead singer of Guided by Voices, was not just
Speaker 1: a meathead. He was a math teacher during the day.
Speaker 1: He'd get drunk at night and sing all those weird
Speaker 1: indie rock songs. He was a pitcher at Wayne State
Speaker 1: and he did pitch a no hitter while he was there,
Speaker 1: no kidding. Yeah, so that to me, like you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that, I mean, Guided by Voices
Speaker 1: is not as popular as Don't Temple Pilots. But to me,
Speaker 1: the ultimate meathead sportsman lead singer is Robert Pollard because
Speaker 1: he pitched a no hitter. Born in Ohio, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: they were Dayton, Ohio. Brady Quinns from Ohio. He's a meathead.
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense. There is no bigger meathead that
Speaker 1: dog haunts. Yeah. How how was the two prosident a
Speaker 1: cup of Joe? What happened? Did you guys talk about Murray?
Speaker 3: We talked, We talked Kyler Murray, we mixed in some
Speaker 3: other You know, it's a football Friday there on that show,
Speaker 3: Petros What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we just I mean it's March.
Speaker 3: John Paul Morosi came by and talked Italian Italian and.
Speaker 1: John Paul Morossi.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to sell us on the legitimacy of your
Speaker 3: qualifications to be representing a country. It's like John, I
Speaker 3: cut a fart at a Spumoni one time. So can
Speaker 3: I play for Team Ittaly?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It sick? What are we doing here? I'll call ned.
Speaker 1: It's a frogmed Friday park. Now, hear the sailors cry,
Speaker 1: smell the sea and feel the sky. The ocean's lullaby
Speaker 1: can call even the most restless frogmen like Steve Hartman
Speaker 1: from a very restless soul. You're on the Pettersen Money Show. Frogmen.
Speaker 1: We like to celebrate the fragments of the sea and
Speaker 1: those that protect us from it, lifeguards, coastguards, harmer patrol,
Speaker 1: the police, everybody the baby. We also like to celebrate
Speaker 1: the great Lloyd Bridges, who played one of the great
Speaker 1: characters in the history of television, shot right off the
Speaker 1: coast and Rancha Palace Burns at Marine Land of the
Speaker 1: Pacific now known as the Taraana Resort Hotel. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Mike Milson Sea hunts.
Speaker 5: Suddenly an anchor came crashing down from topside, missed me
Speaker 5: by ashes. A man in the anchor line grind at
Speaker 5: me playfully. It wasn't funny. Underwater is no place for
Speaker 5: practical jokes. And if I could have talked, I'd have
Speaker 5: chewed them out right there.
Speaker 1: All right, Underwater is no place for practical jokes. You
Speaker 1: a hold.
Speaker 3: So when you're mingling with the Fox luminaries at the
Speaker 3: tarrann A every year, are you not reminiscing about what
Speaker 3: used to be here back in the day.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, right after we hits to Don McLain here,
Speaker 1: what are you nuts? You gotta get that stuff to Florida?
Speaker 1: Do you know what that's like? These days? You've got
Speaker 1: the freaking Navy everywhere.
Speaker 6: You got frogmen, frogmen, you got EC two's with the
Speaker 6: satellite tracking stuff. You got the freaking bell two O
Speaker 6: nine assault choppers up the assmen. We are losing man
Speaker 6: out of every nine loads. No duck walking.
Speaker 1: Tell you you're good about money?
Speaker 6: What do you suggest that is reasonable?
Speaker 1: All right, Jonas, what did you want to ask me?
Speaker 1: All right, so you're hanging out with Rob Stone at
Speaker 1: the Terrannea? Okay, yeah, are you not thinking about Frogman
Speaker 1: Friday while you're there? Every time? Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: the Terrannea Fox events started a really long time ago,
Speaker 1: and I've exhausted the marine land story.
Speaker 3: By the way, for people that don't know, Rob Stone
Speaker 3: also not allowed to be on the show.
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, we're okay, We're okay. With the Stoner.
Speaker 1: I did a I helped his son with a report
Speaker 1: about reggae or something. His son at Tcuro's like, I
Speaker 1: can't do it. I'm doing a bowling event. Yeah, his son,
Speaker 1: like Bob Stone or the young Stoner. I did. I
Speaker 1: helped him with like a broadcasting thing or something. So
Speaker 1: we're back. We're not on bad graces. We just wanted
Speaker 1: to get Stone on when he was doing a bowling
Speaker 1: event and Mookie Betts was at and he said, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't have time. They were like, what you said?
Speaker 3: Excuse me if Brady tell you the story about when
Speaker 3: they went to see Rob Stone. So he was doing
Speaker 3: a bowling event in Florida and Brady Quinn and his
Speaker 3: wife and their thirty eight hundred kids show up to
Speaker 3: this bowling event and they make signs and they're making
Speaker 3: all this stuff to try and celebrate his buddy, Rob Stone.
Speaker 3: I guess the people at the bowling event are like, hey,
Speaker 3: it's not that type of place here, Like you gotta
Speaker 3: like really keep quiet, you can't make noise.
Speaker 1: So they had all these sides.
Speaker 3: They were so excited to see him when they walked in,
Speaker 3: like no, no, no, no, no, no, this isn't what that's about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of what's my experience trying to get
Speaker 1: Rob On to talk about Mookie Bets at the bowling
Speaker 1: I didn't know the bowling event was like Bobby Fisher
Speaker 1: playing chess in Russia. Sorry my bad. But Rob Stone
Speaker 1: at the Terranea, which is old marine Land, which was
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know this anymore, but there
Speaker 1: used to be a marine land style park with killer
Speaker 1: whales and a narwall and look, the killers whales were
Speaker 1: Orkie and Corky. There was the Baja reef where you
Speaker 1: could swim with sharks. And I hate this because every
Speaker 1: time I go on with Tim Conway, he tries to
Speaker 1: get me to talk about it, like because it's funny
Speaker 1: to him, like, hey, dig dog, what do you think
Speaker 1: happened down there in the old Tarrannelle used to be Marineland, right,
Speaker 1: b blah blah blah. And I'm like, they named the
Speaker 1: kid from Life Goes On after a whale. It's possible, Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean Corky I think is not only the whales name,
Speaker 1: but I think one of them Orkie or Quirky. When
Speaker 1: they closed Marine Land when I was in elementary school,
Speaker 1: they closed Marineland and they moved those two killer whales
Speaker 1: to Texas. And one of them bit the arm off
Speaker 1: of a trainer and then the other one drowned or
Speaker 1: the same one I think bit the arm off of
Speaker 1: a trainer. So there's like a nub arm guy walking
Speaker 1: around just like the Tiger King lady. And then one
Speaker 1: of them just took one down to the deep and
Speaker 1: drowned one. They did not want to leave Marineland in
Speaker 1: the Pacific we go apparently, But yeah, I have told
Speaker 1: that story too many times, like to Joe Buck, to
Speaker 1: Troy Ach when you know what used to be here.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like to the point where I
Speaker 1: just don't tell the story anymore. Also, the Fox Seminar,
Speaker 1: me being me and being from the area, and all
Speaker 1: the different people that show up inevitably, like even your
Speaker 1: friends like Joel Klatt and Rob Stone and all of
Speaker 1: those people, like you're talking to them, but they're looking
Speaker 1: over your shoulder for somebody more important to talk to, like,
Speaker 1: oh is that Pete Schreger? Who is there? That is
Speaker 1: my life at the Fox Seminar, where people are like, so,
Speaker 1: how's your family, I'm like, oh, you know, pretty good.
Speaker 1: My kids are kind of a nightmare. Oh excuse me, Hey,
Speaker 1: great to see you, Kenny, Albert, Reggie, what are you
Speaker 1: doing here? It's kind of sad, all right? Joining us.
Speaker 1: Next we will have Alan Sleiwah. We have a big
Speaker 1: announcement coming up at the end of this hour, a
Speaker 1: big announcement you're not gonna want to miss. And you're thinking,
Speaker 1: what's in it for me? And I'm gonna answer you
Speaker 1: a lot idiot. A lot of it is in it
Speaker 1: for you. David Vasse will join us for a Steve
Speaker 1: Hartman midday Show postgame interview. That things took off like
Speaker 1: a rocket. Did you hear that Dave was over Yeah,
Speaker 1: he couldn't get in. Well, you got Hartman over here,
Speaker 1: just firing bullets at me like a freaking mortar machine.
Speaker 1: I miss seeing him in that chair. I love harm.
Speaker 1: His hair hasn't changed color. It's amazing the vitality. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm gray here the guys thirty years older than me.
Speaker 3: I also don't think the Steve Hartman owns a jacket.
Speaker 3: I think it's all station issued polo shirts.
Speaker 1: I always thought it was just like a snap on
Speaker 1: lego hair. That's great, We'll be back with sleiwa The
Speaker 1: Lakers are hot and Lebron is sacrificing.
Speaker 2: This is Petro Send Money to Man demand it's cracking.
Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome back. It is frog Man on the Petro
Speaker 1: sand Money Show on AM five seventy LS Sports, your
Speaker 1: home of Dodger Baseball. David Masseys in Arizona, Dodgers take
Speaker 1: on the Socks first pitch at one oh five tomorrow tonight.
Speaker 1: We got Clippers clip versus Bulls. It was a lottery
Speaker 1: team last night, the Bulls in town. The Lakers played them,
Speaker 1: and that's why Lebron played. That's my opinion. What do
Speaker 1: you guys? What are you getting that there? Joining us
Speaker 1: now a star Hoops talk on YouTube which got a
Speaker 1: lot of heat on it, and of course right here
Speaker 1: on the A five seventy LA Sports iHeartRadio app and
Speaker 1: all our shows and Beyond reports every day and does
Speaker 1: a great job covering pro basketball and the Lakers for us,
Speaker 1: among others. Alan Sliwa on your Southern California Toyota Dealer
Speaker 1: Celebrity Hotline after the Lakers looking hot headed towards the
Speaker 1: playoffs during March Madness, what's cracking? Alan? How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm doing good, brother, I'm doing good. I love that
Speaker 4: little they beat the Chicago Bulls. Lebron came back for
Speaker 4: the lottery team. I like that. I like you just
Speaker 4: had of you very sly threw that in there. I
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 1: It's because I'm a bad person and if I just
Speaker 1: say things straight up, I mean, what fun is that?
Speaker 1: But it is interesting, Alan, though. The Lakers are playing well,
Speaker 1: and it kind of started when Lebron went out with
Speaker 1: his I don't know which elbow was it. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he did, but see you know that to
Speaker 1: not I did it again, and I'm sorry. Tell us
Speaker 1: about the momentum behind Austin Reeves and Luca. It's certainly
Speaker 1: a fun watch, not unreminiscent to what we saw at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I think the Reeves piece of this is
Speaker 4: such a critical piece for the Lakers. I think their
Speaker 4: record now after beating Chicago yesterday, they're nineteen and three
Speaker 4: when he scores twenty or more points. So it's such
Speaker 4: a critical, critical piece for the Lakers to have Austin Reeves,
Speaker 4: not just you know, Chip in sixteen fifteen something along
Speaker 4: those lines. But when we were watching Austin Reeves the
Speaker 4: beginning of the season, remember Lebron missed the first fourteen games,
Speaker 4: and we were watching Austin Reeves as just the true
Speaker 4: true facilitator, a ball handler, a scorer, somebody that can
Speaker 4: get to the free throw line. And I'm not telling
Speaker 4: you it's perfect. And Austin Reeves in these last handful
Speaker 4: of games, I think it's three games in a row. Now,
Speaker 4: the Knicks, the Minnesota Timbles, and then yesterday against Chicago Bulls,
Speaker 4: he just looks more like himself. And if that means
Speaker 4: whatever that pecking order is, or if that means all right,
Speaker 4: more minutes with Luca and Ar, whatever, it looks like
Speaker 4: they need to do more of it, because the Lakers
Speaker 4: are more dangerous when Luca and Ar are the two
Speaker 4: focal points on the offensive side. And I do think
Speaker 4: Lebron has the capability of playing a different type of
Speaker 4: role where I think Luca and Ar probably are more
Speaker 4: just the best version of themselves when they're on the ball.
Speaker 3: So knowing the team as well as you do watching them,
Speaker 3: covering them, discussing them, even though everybody recognizes that that
Speaker 3: is possible, and maybe he is capable of doing that
Speaker 3: and letting those two guys in essence be the stars
Speaker 3: and the focal points. How realistic do you think that
Speaker 3: is to expect Lebron James, at this stage of his career,
Speaker 3: with his reputation, to actually be welcome to that idea.
Speaker 4: I honestly, I think it is realistic, and I'll tell
Speaker 4: you why.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: It's been the conversation for the last week, and all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, the Lakers without Lebron started beating some
Speaker 4: teams that are above five hundred in their playoff teams,
Speaker 4: and we see how bad the Lakers have been beating
Speaker 4: anybody that's of significance, either in the Western Conference or
Speaker 4: in the East. They beat the Knicks, they beat the
Speaker 4: Minnesota Timberwolves, and I think it's just kind of that's
Speaker 4: the chatter right now. The chatter is is Lebron able
Speaker 4: to take a little bit more of a back seat.
Speaker 4: I think if you're forty one years old, you should
Speaker 4: be welcoming this, and I think it's a good look
Speaker 4: for Lebron if he does do it. It's also the
Speaker 4: only shot that the Lakers have. And again, this isn't
Speaker 4: just a Lebron problem, because I could point out other
Speaker 4: issues with the Lakers, but I think it's the only
Speaker 4: shot you have of winning a first round matchup and
Speaker 4: maybe making some noise in the second rounds. Got to
Speaker 4: be Luca, the guy that you brought over, that you
Speaker 4: traded for, that you handed the keys to the franchise,
Speaker 4: who put up fifty one, ten and nine yesterday, and
Speaker 4: then Austin Reeves has to be a player that is
Speaker 4: as close to an All Star caliber guard, and that's
Speaker 4: the only way that that's going to happen. I think
Speaker 4: Lebron is open to it. I think Lebron to the
Speaker 4: best of his ability. Hopefully, maybe I'm being too confident
Speaker 4: here when I say this, but I think he'll understand
Speaker 4: and realize it's also a good good look for Lebron
Speaker 4: by being more of a team player and hopefully everybody sacrifices.
Speaker 3: Would you say if they want to win a first
Speaker 3: round matchup? Is that the goal? Is that considered a
Speaker 3: success this year? And you're all hard hitting questions? Well,
Speaker 3: I just because no, that's like sixty minutes.
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, we get you up a lot
Speaker 1: of time here.
Speaker 3: But I just wonder, if you're a Lakers fan, how
Speaker 3: honest are they about the reality of this team in
Speaker 3: comparison to every other team in the West, especially at
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just realistic, right, I think you
Speaker 4: know if I came on here instead, well, the Lakers
Speaker 4: France seventeen NBA championship. They don't win a championship. It's
Speaker 4: not a good season. I could say that, but I
Speaker 4: don't know if there's much juice behind that. The two
Speaker 4: best teams in the West are OKAC in San Antonio.
Speaker 4: You're gonna face one of those two teams in the
Speaker 4: second round. If you win a first round matchup, I
Speaker 4: don't think you go much further than there. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: call it a success. I just kind of call it
Speaker 4: the reality of the Lakers situation. Now, if you'd ask
Speaker 4: me that same question a week ago before they played
Speaker 4: the Knicks, before they played the Minnesota Timberwolves, they've now
Speaker 4: won seven of their last eight games. They're sixteen games
Speaker 4: over five hundred, I'd have told you I don't think
Speaker 4: they're winning a round. But let's see here, they got
Speaker 4: a stretcher coming tomorrow. They got Denver two against Houston.
Speaker 4: Kind of randomly here, Orlando and Miami are playing really
Speaker 4: good basketball. I think both of those teams won as
Speaker 4: one six in a row, the others won seven in
Speaker 4: a row. We're gonna find out a lot more about
Speaker 4: the Lakers over these next couple of weeks. But I'm
Speaker 4: not saying it's the goal to get past the first round.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that that's probably the reality of the
Speaker 4: Lakers situation.
Speaker 1: And we're looking to the off season in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, and there's new ownership and they'll there'll be
Speaker 1: a lot of change. I mean, you can't plan a vacation,
Speaker 1: can you, Allen. I mean, this is going to be
Speaker 1: a pretty gnarly off season, maybe the most significant in
Speaker 1: some time.
Speaker 4: Just depends specials because if they're out by May first,
Speaker 4: I got plenty of time for a vacation because the
Speaker 4: free agency won't start until July first. But if they
Speaker 4: go a couple of round.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something every four or five days or
Speaker 1: do something at the point that you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: cover there.
Speaker 4: That's a good point. We'll have to go live from
Speaker 4: cam kuon No.
Speaker 1: But sure you want to go down there is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me let me rephrase that one. Probably not
Speaker 4: going by not going to can Koon. Yeah, but we'll
Speaker 4: we'll take a look at the calendar. We we'll we'll
Speaker 4: find a different place on the map. But it is
Speaker 4: going to be I mean, this summer is kind of everything.
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is it's your first
Speaker 4: opportunity to properly build around one of the top five
Speaker 4: players in the league in Luca. I think everybody just
Speaker 4: expects reeves to get paid, which you probably will, and
Speaker 4: then the question is going to become well, how do
Speaker 4: you put together the rest of the roster. What I
Speaker 4: will tell you is just as important as them filling
Speaker 4: out that roster, it's also going to be filling out
Speaker 4: that front office. Because the Lakers are known for not
Speaker 4: having this. You know this this really really deep. You
Speaker 4: got a president of Basketball Operations and then a GM
Speaker 4: and then assistant in GM, and you got all these
Speaker 4: scouts there. They have to really really stock up in
Speaker 4: the front office. And I think if there's one thing
Speaker 4: Mark Walter and his group can do, you don't have
Speaker 4: a salary cap there. So not only are you trying
Speaker 4: to fill out your roster the right way around Luca,
Speaker 4: you really got to fill out your front office.
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick doesn't strike me as a guy who's going
Speaker 3: to coach until he'st two hundred, like Lenny Wilkins.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like he's he's built to get
Speaker 1: interesting parason.
Speaker 3: I just he looks exhausted at times, and I just wonder,
Speaker 3: have you seen any adjustments from him or is he
Speaker 3: really with feet in the ground.
Speaker 1: This is the way I coach.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look exasperated, I'm gonna call guys out and
Speaker 3: if you're not with me, then you got to go
Speaker 3: play somewhere else.
Speaker 4: I think he's you know, I think he's safe to
Speaker 4: say JJ's still trying to figure himself out. I will
Speaker 4: say stylistically, he's a little bit different than a year ago.
Speaker 4: I thought in his rookie campaign as a head coach,
Speaker 4: he was more stubborn. I thought, you know, believe it
Speaker 4: or not, I feel like he held his emotions on
Speaker 4: his sleeves a little bit more than this year. Again,
Speaker 4: not this like crazy change while all of a sudden
Speaker 4: he's in and he's Phil Jackson. But I do think
Speaker 4: that he's making some adjustments. He's learning a little bit
Speaker 4: as he goes, I think. And by the way, we're
Speaker 4: not going to know all that until we get to
Speaker 4: the playoffs, because they did win fifty games last year.
Speaker 4: They were the number three seed in the Western Conference,
Speaker 4: and they were out in five games against Minnesota, and
Speaker 4: everybody remembers that series where he didn't make a substitution
Speaker 4: in the second half what's never happened in the history
Speaker 4: of the NBA, and was upset at a reporter asking
Speaker 4: him about that. So maturity wise, I think a lot
Speaker 4: of questions will get answered come postseason. But I have
Speaker 4: seen some signs where I feel like, all right, you know,
Speaker 4: maybe this thing doesn't tick him off as quick as
Speaker 4: it did six months ago or three months ago. And
Speaker 4: that's just gonna come with experience.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 4: This is only a second year coaching in the NBA.
Speaker 4: He's coaching in the Western Conference. It's the Lakers, it's Luca,
Speaker 4: it's Lebron. There's always obviously a lot of eyes on
Speaker 4: this team.
Speaker 1: I see myself every morning trying to get my kids
Speaker 1: out of bed in the face of JJ Reddick a
Speaker 1: lot of the time, you know, just that angry, bitter,
Speaker 1: very self entitled frustration. It speaks to me, are we
Speaker 1: impressed with the Clippers coming back and getting above five
Speaker 1: hundred alan or does it make a difference one way
Speaker 1: or another. They're gonna have to go in a dramatically
Speaker 1: different direction very soon.
Speaker 4: Either way, I'm impressed. I mean, to start out six
Speaker 4: and twenty one and you find out, you know, you
Speaker 4: find a way to get to above five hundred, something
Speaker 4: no team has ever done. When you're fifteen games below
Speaker 4: five hundred, I think you should be impressed. And I
Speaker 4: would say this, the Clippers did something that's a little
Speaker 4: bit unique because a lot of times, especially when you
Speaker 4: have a franchise that has James Harden or Kawhi Leonard,
Speaker 4: you got some of these guys, you're trying to win
Speaker 4: right now. Look in the offseason they got who was it,
Speaker 4: It was Brook Lopez and it was Bradley Beal. From
Speaker 4: an age perspective, it's maybe not the best game plan,
Speaker 4: but they were trying to win right now, and before
Speaker 4: they got to the trade deadline, they decided, you know what,
Speaker 4: we're not going to win, nor are we going to compete,
Speaker 4: even though we're playing as good as basketball as anybody
Speaker 4: in the league right now. They went and started planning
Speaker 4: for the future. Harden was gone. You get a guy
Speaker 4: Darius Garland that's ten years younger Benedict Matherin. I'm not
Speaker 4: watching him every night, but did watch him when he
Speaker 4: was with the Pacers, watch a couple of Laker Clipper games.
Speaker 4: I like him, and I think he's a nice piece
Speaker 4: for them to have for the future. They did get
Speaker 4: draft compensation for a Vitza Zubox, which is why they
Speaker 4: traded him, So I think that it's impressive what they
Speaker 4: were able to accomplish. But I think what's more impressive
Speaker 4: is they decided this ain't happening and let's start planning
Speaker 4: for the future. And I think they started doing that
Speaker 4: at the deadline.

Speaker 1: don't be starting. I got a story about can Coon
Speaker 1: and resorts in can Coon. I've never been there.
Speaker 3: I had a buddy step on a needle that was
Speaker 3: left a sewing needle left in the carpet of the
Speaker 3: hotel room that went all the way to his bone
Speaker 3: while we were out there for a bachelor party, and
Speaker 3: the hotel was trying to argue that we should we
Speaker 3: shouldn't get the room for free because they weren't sure
Speaker 3: where the needle came from, because because ten guys showed
Speaker 3: up with a sewing kit to can Coon and it
Speaker 3: was on them that its sewing needle was sticking out
Speaker 3: of the carpet when he walked by.
Speaker 1: Hey, we want the room for free. Look at my friend.

Speaker 1: everybody's trying to act cool around town in LA.
Speaker 3: That's what happens when you steal Trey Young celebration. You know,
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers did it to Freddie Mitchell.
Speaker 1: Freddie Mitchell. I used to not get along with Freddie
Speaker 1: Mitchell at all. I made fun of him on television
Speaker 1: when I was at USC for looking old in the
Speaker 1: face odin. Yeah, I remember being on Billy Mack used
Speaker 1: to have a show called the Carl's Junior Roundtable on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports West, and I was playing at USC and
Speaker 1: they invited me over there, and the other two people
Speaker 1: on the on the panel were Casey Wasserman, Sexual Deviant
Speaker 1: and Susie Schuster, Rick rich Eisen's wife. She was drinking
Speaker 1: orange juice and staying she was sick, and I was
Speaker 1: sitting there and I just started going off on Freddy
Speaker 1: Mitchell saying he looks really old in the face. And
Speaker 1: then we played UCLA that year, you know, of course,
Speaker 1: and we came out for the captains and he was like,
Speaker 1: mother saying, I'm looking old, And I was like, is
Speaker 1: he talking about me?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said that over the summer. You do look old, dude.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, I felt bad for Freddy Mitchell in college.
Speaker 1: He broke his lake so bad he kicked himself in
Speaker 1: the back of the head. And he came back and
Speaker 1: played pro football from there. Yeah. Still an idiot, just
Speaker 1: a stone cold idiot, but God bless him.
Speaker 3: Great celebration though, that the championship belt wrap. Roger stole it.
Speaker 3: Freddy Mitchell doesn't get the credit. Is it gonna come
Speaker 3: from your world of fake wrestling?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but on a football field. First guy ever did?
Speaker 1: What about the discount double check? Yeah, Roger stole that
Speaker 1: from Freddy Mitchell. Copy that. Yeah. We have an announcement

Speaker 1: the the mazzarella sticks I get for free and the
Speaker 1: one meat alta then I choked down during the show
Speaker 1: while I'm yelling the whole time, does have enough compensation?
Speaker 3: Now, let me ask you, because I know that you're
Speaker 3: very fearful of the spicy food while you got to
Speaker 3: talk on the air, which I've made that mistake before
Speaker 3: because it can kind of mess with the vocal cords.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how does a spicy you know, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Like Bert's Burgers was here yesterday, and I love burgers,
Speaker 1: but you can't really enjoy the burger when you're on
Speaker 1: air or you got to go on in a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes, you know, And everybody makes fun of how
Speaker 1: fast I eat around here. It's become like a running
Speaker 1: joke for years because I ate a burrito really fast
Speaker 1: during a break. I mean, what are you supposed to do?
Speaker 1: You get a five minute break exactly? You got to
Speaker 1: get it in. Well. Now it's like a term in
Speaker 1: the Kate's household, like why did you just petros that
Speaker 1: whole pizza? Swear to God? Okay, now let me ask
Speaker 1: you this.
Speaker 3: Have you done a TV or called the Game in
Speaker 3: which maybe it was a little chilly outside so the
Speaker 3: vocal cords were hard to uh, hard to operate because
Speaker 3: I'll see some of these like there are some some
Speaker 3: of it like Mariah Carey. I'm just saying there are
Speaker 3: some analysts you'll watch. I think it was who was
Speaker 3: the guy.
Speaker 1: With Chris Myers. You'd always be like a little honey,
Speaker 1: I love it hot.
Speaker 3: Water because people like yeah, Ben Mallards. Ben Mallards big
