He is the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the blowtorch AM five seventy
LA Sports. He is a Fox College football analyst and

Good morning, Hello, Petros, morning guys.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
How are you hello?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Hello? Hello? How is your sinco? To Mayo.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yesterday? Right? Yes, it was pretty uneventful.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Do you did no sell clebration?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
No, you didn't grab a Modello a little delayed to
meet you a lot of Monday and have that a
little bit or.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I had a Modelo. My wife and I had a Modelo.
She bought a six pack of Modello and we had
a couple. We are sponsored by Modello.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
As you know.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Nice Modello meets a lot of Monday on the Petrosen
money show because it's a great Mexican logger with the
mark of a fighter hashtag Modello USA. Please drink responsibly.
We did have a modello but nothing. But you know,
it is appropriate if you guys are interested. It is
(02:38):
actually appropriate, yeah, to celebrate in California for Cinco de Mayo.
You know, a lot of people say, oh, it's a
it's a it's a bigger holiday in the United States
than it is in Mexico, and this and that. It's
become a commercialized kind of event in the United States
(03:01):
because of you Jose Cuerrevo or Modelo or Corona or
Patron or what at Don Julio or whatever brands And
maybe that is true. But when the Battle of Puebla
was won by the Mexicans, and it was not against
the United States or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
If the history is known by people, it's French.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
The Mexicans beat the French a larger force of French
soldiers and that was.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
The Battle of Puebla.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
That was a huge deal all over the United States
at the time because a lot of people thought that
the French at eighteen sixty two wanted a piece of
that good Southern cotton, and that means the Civil War,
there was a blockade and all that. Some people thought
(04:00):
that France was going to help the South in the
Civil War to knock out the North, or at least
to try to get their secession. And when France got
beat in Puebla, there was a lot of celebration, especially
in California because California was a Union state, so it
(04:21):
is appropriate at the time. And there was not a
lot of celebration in Texas because Texas was a Confederate state.
So single Demaya was very significant at the time in
the newspapers and stuff in the United States. So it's
okay to go to the Cabo Cantina and drink syrupy
(04:42):
margarita and have a chick from sales throw up all
over your chest.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
He's gonna say, if you get a little Pinata key
chain as a take home from one of the Modelo girls,
you know, feel good about things.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Because at the time of the Battle of Puebla, that
was a big deal here as well.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Foot log.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Now, if people think that it was US that got
beat by the Mexicans in eighteen sixty two, they.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Are sadly mistaken. Yeah, taking.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The United States knocked out the Mexicans in the Mexican
American War a few years before our own Civil war.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Speaking of wars, the bomb threat, evacuations, what was that
all about?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I was, I was here to get a mill.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And there is a there's a big there's a big
festival in Redondo beat where the r lives. And it
was started by a guy I went to high school
with and so I've been involved with it since day one.
And it is pretty you know, for a festival, it's
not like Outside Lands or Coachella or Montaoo or something
(05:55):
like that. It is a bumber shoot, you know, all
of these different festivals around the country and world. It
is a smaller festival, but it's really cool. They get
good acts, you know. Willie Nelson has played it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Said, Cheryl Crow was there this year.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Cheryl Crow. This is the second time my daughter met
Cheryl Crow.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
This year.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Rull surprised with She showed me a pick that Cheryl
Crow signed and gave her.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I was like, where the hell did you go?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
But yeah, there was a swatting, a swatting event where
the young people call the swat team and send the
swat team and they think it's hilarious. The Beach Life
got shut down for a couple hours or they were delayed,
and they evacuated the Redondo Beach Pier and all of
(06:45):
my people that work at that event and all that
were sequestered on the third day. And who was playing
the third day James Taylor, sweet baby James, and my
Morning Jacket, who.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I actually did show up to see.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
So I went out there on Sunday despite the swatting event,
and everything ended up okay. But yeah, it was a
I got out of yoga on Sunday and I had
all these texts about a shooting or a mad active
shooter or a bomb thread or something going on on
the pier, and it was obviously very concerning, but it
(07:20):
ended up being okay and the event went off without
a hitch really, so that was it was good news.
And I was there in the concert for the third
day and I saw totally Banta Caine.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
What do you mean thanks for the pet my Morning
Jacket fan ticket.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I mean I'll get a ticket. I didn't say invite
me for free again. Gone, No, I don't like I
don't like doing things by myself.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Petro, Petro, she always a peach pit fant me.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
There's only a few things I like going by myself, Petros,
I don't I don't want anybody there with me.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I ran into a totally Banta Caine, remember him, the
defensive guy from cal played like ten years in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And he's got like he has.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
He showed me that he's got, like a beach football
game coming up full tackle with guests coaches Deshaun Foster.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And Marsha Lynch up in Santa Cruz.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
There's gonna be like, you know, like in Point Break
where they got and they had the football game on
the beach and they're like, don't you know that's Johnny
Utah beat USC when he played for Ohio State in
the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, be the wrong way, the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But speaking to the microphone, squid brain.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I know the writer really, yeah, I know the guy
that wrote Point Break. Peter Alef's his name is his name?
Speaker 6 (08:58):
Really cool guy speaking lax war child seriously of movies
and scripts and and different things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
The Lakers.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Okay, I mean this, this this season has the potential
to be movie worthy. Now I don't know how. Yeah,
all right, So I asked you making it past Houston
because nobody had them, nobody gave them a chance to
survive against Houston. Making it to this this round. Is
(09:35):
it enough to have made it to this round and
get slaughter or do they have to be competitive either way?
I mean, a massacre can end up being a movie too,
But yeah, what type of movie is this? Is this
a horror flick?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
It's really enough, right, It's never enough? No, not for
the Lakers. I mean, when did you move to l.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
An years It's been eleven years and now okay, so.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Twelve twelve years, twelve years.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
So even when Kobe and uh pow Gasol and all
that and everything going on back in the day, everybody
in town and you remember Jonas had like Laker flags
flapping off, remember that, Yeah, everywhere and all that, and
it's just not that's not the case anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I worked at a TGI Fridays that was the Laker Bar?
Was that the one there?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
The one near the airport.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I used to go to the Magic Johnson one when
I came out literally was the Laker It was like
a nightclub, Magic Johnson's TGI Fridays, And like, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You're right it popped off.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh man. Yeah, that was like the place to go.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, you could get like a young core cocktail, like
a a Lonzo ball Brandon.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
No, No, this is back when I was playing.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Like it was the Magic Johnson Dip, back when I
was I mean, it was a who's who a people
up and it was like right down the street from
the airport.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I'm saying even when you arrived at La as A
as a resident.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I didn't do anything. I didn't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Well, I'm just saying it was the Lakers were a
bigger deal.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, Like I mean, I was out and about on
the weekend, like you said, at Beach Life, and I
go around and I don't see you know, I just
don't see it. I see a Laker hat every once
in a while. It's just not like it was as
far as the excitement goes. Now, they have a new
ownership group, and I believe I watched the new ownership
(11:41):
group many years ago up close, working with the Dodgers,
take over the Dodgers and slowly make.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All the changes that they wanted to.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Ned Coletti became Andrew Friedman, who has turned the Dodgers
into what they are today and so on and so forth.
Remember they didn't fire Don Mattingly, but they parted ways
with him mutually, which is so weird. I mean, that
could even happen to JJ Redning, as positive as the
coverage has been of him. So what I think is
(12:15):
that there's going to be major changes. I don't know
what exactly that means. You already see it within the
front office. Lon Rosen has gone there and taken over.
He was with the Dodgers forever, so under this ownership group,
so I do think there'll be a lot of changes
for the Lakers. I don't think beating the Houston Rockets
(12:38):
without Kevin Durant is really that big of a.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Deal, despite what the news.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
People or the proxies for Lebron or whoever else is talking.
I mean that's they make you feel like the Lakers
season is cinematic because no one ever shuts up about it,
whether it's mediocre or halfway there or I mean, they
have to be good enough to win a championship because
they're the Lakers, and just like the Celtics, right it's
(13:06):
supposed to be that way and right now it's not.
And that's okay. I mean, but it's been that way
for quite some time. Lebron hasn't really had that much
success in the playoffs ever since he arrived here.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Now that could be.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
For a myriad of reasons. You don't have to point
your finger at Lebron if you don't want to. But
that's just the case. And it's funny because a lot
of people, like you said, Levarn, they didn't have I
think it was more likely for the Lakers to get swept.
If for Vegas odds, then it was for them to
win this series as far as Vegas was concerned. And
(13:42):
that's not what happened. They went and beat Houston. But
we put like a Houston ryder on before the series started,
like a month ago, and he said something to the
effect of, I don't know what everybody's thinking, JJ Reddick
is going to coach circles around Udoka.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And ended up I mean, that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And that was a month before and before any of
the games started, and that is actually what ended up happening.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
So had other priorities. You know, he's got a look.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
One time, the guy slips and falls into a hot
white chick who happened to be somebody's wife, you know,
a bad situation.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Go figure. But what happens in al too.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
You know, they won a couple of game.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I guess I spoke as if you damn white people.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
If they win a couple of games against ok C LeVar.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I think you'll get some heat in town because and everywhere,
because obviously it's a big story.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But I mean, I don't think OKAYC played particularly well.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
As it was the first time SG hadn't scored twenty
points all year in the game, he didn't have.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
To, and they looked pretty comfortable. Yeah, and that's what
it was. They were comfortable letting Check get involved. He
got developed early. They didn't adjust to it like you
gotta adjust to it.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Neil partner used to work for the Lakers, you know,
and that, like he was there with him when Kobe
won the championship and Orlando, and I was actually.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
There when they with him when they lost.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
To the Celtics and Paul Pierce got.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Wheel chair it away and all that and he pooped himself.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
And I was there that night and all that. So
my radio partner, who likes to break down these things,
you know, this time of year and stuff, his expert
analysis was, Hey, chet Holmgrin's pretty skinny. Maybe he'll get hurt. Yes,
it's I think it's a tall order for the Lakers
to beat the Thunder. I mean, obviously during the regular season,
(15:42):
I don't think they got within twenty in any of
their games. Maybe one, But it's it's going to be
over soon, and then Lebron will do different things to
call attention to him while the conference finals in the
NBA Finals are going on.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
You know the thing it is that by the Petros
Papadek is joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. You
know what I think it is about the Lakers nowadays,
there's no real connection to the fan base or because
everything feels so you basically just handed the keys over.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
To Lebron and said, all right, you can take it
out for a space.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, and you know that's a little bit.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I mean I could say that about the Clippers too
in town, not that anybody really care.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But the Dodgers are a different story.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah, Well, we have relationships with the players, right, It's
not like we don't talk to Otani, but Vasse does
and different other people do. And back when when the
Lakers were on our station and even if they weren't,
Like we talked to Kobe, you would come on. We
would talk to Pau Gasol. Not every month or every week,
(16:45):
but they would come on a couple times a year.
We would have relationships with different players, and they were
more accessible. And I don't know if it has something
to do with Lebron or the modern NBA, but these
these these teams don't and make these players available for
their television stations anymore other than the standard you know,
(17:06):
post game stuff that they have to do or what
they're required to do by the media. The players have
become totally insulated from the fan base and it's more
about a tunnel walk. And I mean, they just don't
really feel like they're regular people anymore, not that they
ever really did. I mean, the NBA, there's always been
a separation between the players and the fans because the
(17:30):
players are so weird looking, right, like, they only look normal.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
To one another on a basketball next to each other,
exactly right.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
You know, And when they're not, you're like, wow, Derek
Fisher is pretty a lot taller than I thought.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Which is crazy, Like, little dude, did you mean you're
like WHOA hold on, wait, wait, you're wait a minute,
I was talking bad about you, and you had those
two win puppets, Wemby and Cheded Holmgren.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, it's like the.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Last time they saw each other was outside of car dealers.
Let's sell some Hyundais avatars.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
So I think that there's an element of that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
But you are right, like there is no like we
don't have the same connection. I mean, there were Asian
dudes in this town and Mexican dudes in this town
that would throw themselves on a funeral pire for Kobe.
I mean, I mean they felt like they knew him.
You know, people would run up on Kobe in a
(18:25):
parking lot and talk to him. I mean, I remember
these things from my radio career, and yeah, I was
critical of Kobe. Kobe was a confounding guy to cover.
You know, we've forgotten a lot of that because of
the way he died, and that's probably fair. But at
the same time, it was a lot different. I think
it's a really good question because it was a lot different.
(18:46):
I do think the NBA, at least in this town.
I can't speak for Philadelphia or Chicago or whatever, but
at least in this town Los Angeles, we've lost our
connection with the teams that we used to have that
we used to have just doing sports.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Is that just a symptom, like you said, is that
just a symptom.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Of where we are as a society, because I've heard
that about other fan bases too.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Well, but to me, it's like doing sports talk radio locally,
you know, like you really have your fingers and feet
in the ground, like in the dirt we talked. We
have access to everybody, football players, everybody baseball. You know, nobody,
nobody is above coming on the show, whether we have
(19:30):
a sponsor and element to it, or they'll come and
talk to us.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
For an hour.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
You know, they are accessible to the fans in that way.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
The Dodgers do tons of events.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I mean they have an event and a Hundai in
down dealership in Downey tomorrow with David Vasse and Alex Vesia.
He's the Dodgers best reliever. It's his day off. He's
going to a car dealership to do an interview for
an hour with a reporter. That's a connection with with
the area Downy is known as Mexican Beverly Hills. Huh
(20:06):
So that's you know that that's not even gonna happen
with Luke Canard. You know what I mean, Gonna said
Dalton connect to do that, so so yeah, I do
think it's it's a problem with the modern NBA that
they've lost a lot of their connection with the fan
base and the players act like entitled TikTok rappers a
(20:27):
little bit more than they act like basketball players.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I mean, that's fair. All that makes sense. By the way,
are you anything coming up on the show? You guys
got anything to morown? Any special guests, events, any remotes?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
What's going on on Friday a week from Friday? Will
be in Downey at the BJ's all right for the
Dodgers before the Dodgers Angels game in Anaheim, So we'll
get Mexican Beverly Hills going for it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Now, what is your what's your go to? What are
you taking home to the fan when you leave BJS?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
What do you hopefully?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Just my my days of getting like six meals for
everybody and walk down too bad?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Those days are over.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
The oldest trick in the book.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, if you work, if you do it a remote,
you eat there and then take stuff to go as
well too, so you can get two meals out of
the whole deal.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
What do I have lined up for today?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I mean tomorrow, later, today, Gosh, I wrote a whole
bunch of stuff and now I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, you know you got the uh oh.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
You can get a Disneyland license plate now in California
for like one hundred and thirty bucks.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It's awesome.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Eighty bucks a year.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
You can get a special Disneyland license plate for all
the weird disney Head people.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You know, Oh, it's great.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Let's show up at the park and they're in like
a different Disney gang, like Geppetto's toy makers.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Or some weird people.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Man.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, the Disney types are really weird.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You know, I'm very reluctant to talk.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
You know, we all have that sixth grader in us
that we'll talk for hours with our friends about an
amusement park.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
You know, we still have that, even.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Though you get older, you still do that talk about
amusement parks and the rides and all the different stuff.
And whenever we talk about Disneyland, it's always like some
disney Head.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Always you're wrong, you know, you always get corrected.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
That's not what Petos toymakers do, you know, like they Disney.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Dorks, like I don't know somebody like that. Yeah, I
kind of.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I remember I took we took my son, I think
it was two at the time, my wife and and
we're just miserable.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I can't stand the place.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And I'm looking around going there are adults walking around
with Chewbacca backpacks on.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
We got to get out of here, like, can we
get we got it? We gotta leave asap.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
The people that roll there, and they're like, you know,
I'm friends with the guy that operates the train on
Main Street.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
You know that. It's the people, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I mean, it's a place, it's a safe place for
for some very sad people. I'm a very sad guy,
like you know, but Disneyland doesn't do it for me.
Although I do have to admit I took my kids
a while back to the Star Wars Land or whatever
that you know that they built there. Yeah, that's you know, well,
just a great attention to detail. I appreciate that kind
(23:23):
of thing in a run drill and in the Star
Wars Land.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah, And you know, I want I want attention to detail.
You know, hey, why are the linebackers a half yard
off the ball? That's not how we normally play. But
here at nine on seven, that's very true. I could
see the erection in his parts.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
He's after me, He's after me.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
He is the coast of the Petro some money show
that you can hear on a blowtorch and five seventy
l a sports.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
So you can feel it at the wind.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
So is soo.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Hiso.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Petro's always fall, will do it again next week?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, there he is, the great Petros papadaekas with us
here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, every scam
starts with one thing, your personal info being available to
the wrong person.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That's what Incogniti does.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
So even though.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
The Minnesota Timberwolves won Game one and pulled off thepset
over the San Antonio Spurgs, even with all of that,
still not happy. And it's not that they're not happy
with maybe the health of their team, which could be concerning.
They're not happy with the way that Victor webbin Yama
(26:44):
is being officiated because although he had his twelve blocks,
they're saying that not all of those should have counted that.
According to Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, historic d.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
We looked at him.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
At least four of them were goaltending, maybe even a fifth.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know, it's kind of to me it's a little
alarming that none of them were called.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
And you know, here's a generational shot blocker who's seven
to six, who goes after everything, and there's like no
height in awareness that these these blocks could could be
you know, goaltends.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I mean, the third possession.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
Of the game was a goaltender and it was a
clean obvious one. So let's just say there were four
that's eight points, you know, value of eight points in
the NBA game.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Massive.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
That's also, you know, thirty three percent of the blocks
were goaltending uncalled.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
If I were to give you a thirty three percent range,
you'd like.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
That, right, I mean, that's a that's a huge number.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Good for Chris Fnce, you know, good for him pointing
out wrong though, no, he's he's telling the truth. I
also think the best part about that is him basically saying,
the guy's too tall for them to be able to
see up there to officiate.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
To get a ladder a ladder crew.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Now, can we get like at least some of these
some of these officials at six three and up, because
they can't, they cannot get anywhere close to what he's doing.
But he's got twelve blocks and to his point, man
if for those if not five are goaltending, I think
it's the right. Phil Jackson used to do this all
the time, to where he would complain in a way
(28:32):
publicly about something and ultimately the next game you would
see some of those calls start to go the other way.
And I think Chris Finch did it in a way
to where he wasn't disparaging the officials. He wasn't, you know,
doing a Jalen Brown that's going to cost him fifty
thousand dollars. I can't imagine he would get fined anything
for this, but simply pointing out, hey, we won the game,
(28:55):
but just so you know, historicalvation, historic night. You know,
a third of those probably should not accounted, and that's
eight points it would.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Have gone in our back pocket. Yeah, I mean that's that.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
The thing is well played. The thing is well played,
and it's well founded as well. Listen, he's not just
blocking at the rim though he's he's blocking three pointers.
I mean, it's crazy his wingspan, he gets to the ball. Oh,
he blocked a shot in the Sixers Knicks game the
other night. But but with that being said, this is
(29:30):
this is deflecting though it's deflecting because I think this
coach knows that his team is tougher than the Spurs.
So it's kind of like a like deflected like Wemby.
Like Wemby, it's it's a way of really gassing Weinby up.
(29:51):
Is what he's doing, honestly.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So we can be as we can be more physical
while you're paying attention to whether or not he's blocking shit.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Good move, come on move reflecting.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
I think this Timberwolves team believes they can win this series,
and I believe they can. They believe they can win
it handily. And and again I heard I heard Aunt
say it. He was like, yeah, we out here and
everybody talking about go Spurs go like everybody's against us, everybody.
(30:22):
That collective belief in that locker room is that everybody
is against them. Nobody gives them a chance. And that
comes from that head coach. So I think that this is, yes,
you you put it out there in a way, as
you mentioned Phil, put it in it out there. Yes,
you put it out there. But I think it's a
deflection away from what it is that the true belief
(30:45):
of this Timberwolves team is which they came in there
like we're going to I guess it's not politically correct
to say we're going to kill you, because that's just
we're softening more whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But we're going we're gonna we're going to kick your butts.
How about that?
Speaker 5 (30:59):
That's more two thousand in twenty six, we're going to
come in here and in this series, we're going to.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Kick their butts.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
You know.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
So I don't know when I played, It's like we're
going out here. I'm going out here for keeps. I'm
coming out here to take your life. Player. I'm coming
out here just to tackle you. I'm coming out here
to maim you. I'm coming out here to break something,
to destroy you, your spirit, your soul. I want to
snatch your soul from your body.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Remember the good old days of the throat slash gesture, man,
harken back to the good old days where you could
just take one thumb, just go right across.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, that Italian necktack. Nowadays, what's that?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
No violence? But that was the thought process. I think
this team has a very throwback feel to it. Hell, yes, great,
it's not just, it's not just. And I think this
team has a very throwback field to it, and that's
going to be a problem for san Antonio. Now san
(32:06):
Antonio may grab a hold of the lead. It was
a of the series. It was a very very evenly
matched game, and so those eight points do matter. I mean,
if you get if you get what he said he
thought it was for, if you get two of those
called goaltends out of the four you're talking about four points,
(32:29):
that that last second heroic shot that could have sent
it to overtime doesn't even matter because it's out of reach.
But I think you do. You draw attention to it,
but you draw attention to it knowing that we're going
to whoop you anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And let's just say, you know, you have that extra
eight points in your pocket, and they won by what two?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So you know, you just get that's ten.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
But it also changes the game flow to where maybe
you don't have to play and down the stretch coming
off an injury, and you can monitor his minutes and
buy him a little bit more time on the bench,
but because the game was close, he needed to be
out there. And then you saw he had the turnover
on the inbounds pass late in that game. So yeah,
(33:12):
I think it's a good approach.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Nobody's turning it over like James Harden is turning it over.
And we haven't talked much about the Calves on the
show today. But and that's fine. There's obviously more more,
there's better story. I guess there's better stories than talking
about him. But yeah, well, there's a lot of turnovers.
(33:36):
I think he has more turnovers than he does points
in the in the playoffs right now.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Me too. Dang, that's all right, listen, you know way
too well. Are you turning over?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Mister?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Uh? What's your turnover? I'm married nothing lately.

You know?
Speaker 11 (35:37):
I try not to be shocked, but I saw this
on the news and Florida mother was arrested over the
weekend after she charged onto the field of a youth
football game and repeatedly kicked a thirteen year old player
during a brawl. So multiple parents ran out onto the
field to try and break up this fight.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
But she didn't just try to break it up. She
wanted to join in.
Speaker 11 (36:03):
She was arrested, and the mother of the thirteen year
old is pressing charges against her.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Happens more than you'd know.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Press charges, Go defend your kid, you know what I mean? Like,
does that kid not have any backup?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
See that's what's confusing.
Speaker 11 (36:22):
I'm looking at this photo here on the field, and
I see a whole bunch of kids standing around other
other parents, and she just looks like she's just going
to town.
Speaker 2 (36:33):

grabbing guns, weapons and stuff like that. Like it's a game,
