Cleepers tomorrow, Matt, because theClippers they're gonna play the Maverick. I

(01:34):
think the Clippers could win it.Well, yeah, you go back up
on the hill. They look prettyuh, look pretty good, look pretty
strong. Without Kawhi Leonard and hishoodie there looked at a little bit more
mustly than that Luka Doncic guy looklike their guys had muscles, and they
were playing you know, the fleshycrew from the rec League. That's you

(01:55):
know, like in chol a littleolder, skinny bearded Kawhi Leonard look like
all like vegan and crackheady, andthen donche who looks like he just eats
a lot, a lot of pizza. Although they did come together and score
a great deal of points they did, you could say that they were let
down by their less fleshy or crackheadliketeammates. Yeah, a couple of those
skinny guys. Huh, how aboutyou start eating like the rest of us.

(02:16):
Well, enjoy the game tomorrow andsee what wins out. You won't
hear it here, you will hearit on AM eleven fifty, and it's
timed out for the final hour.Fun fasts, fun effect. It's yeah,
we're three fats fun facts. InJapan, many American cartoons and for

(02:36):
that matter, foreign cartoons are edited, and I don't know how they would
do this. It seems like alot of work. We discussed this with
The Simpsons, where the only characterwith five fingers is God. Mickey Mouse
set the tone with four, WHILETDisney saying five looked like a string of
bananas dangling from a hand in cartoons, so most cartoon characters have four.

(02:58):
The only problem is keep it simple. In Japan, the word for the
number four is very close to theword for death, so it is seen
as a sign of bad luck.So they don't like cartoon characters with four
fingers, and popular tradition of cuttingoff a finger by the yakuza come on.
So they add fifth fingers to alot of American cartoons to avoid exactly

(03:20):
that. A lot of banana hansout there, a lot of banana hans.
You go to Japan and you're like, man, you know what just
look like a banana hans and alot of them turn into tentacles and then
they violate. That's right, agirl all orifices. Oh no, oh
no, I'm gonna go do Japaneseporn voice over. That's gonna be quick

(03:44):
haits, every quick hits, makeit quick? Oh them just that show.
Yeah. Dodgers thirteen and eleven witha day off Tomorrow there Washington,
d C. White House down Lawyersstart k three game series against Curly w

(04:06):
the angel that want to expand onthat? What are the Dodgers? Are
they in a bit of a rutand we should just go yesterday? What
do you mean? Well, Idon't think it works where it's like a
tiebreaker who scores the most runs atthe end of the year, right,
I think when you go two andfour on track the Mets and the Nationals,

(04:27):
maybe it's not the most recent resultthat you should point to, but
the ones prior to that. Hey, I talked about the Dodgers. I
know they're back on track. Ithink the Dodgers could win it now.
The Angels just got swept by theRats. Oh no, they've got a
real problem. Oh no, they'reat home for the start of the series.
Versus Bulti bar and the curly.Ohs oh, everybody knows the old

(04:49):
face going. The old face arecoming in here with their curly. They're
going to put it down. Oh, Baltimore has come alive in the world
of baseball. After two decks aidesof of dormant, sad, pathetic offerings
to a Major League baseball season,tell you what else is coming alive?
What's that? Earlier today at YankeeStadium, the Yankees took on the A's

(05:12):
five pitches into the game. AaronBoone was not happy with the plate umpire
at home Wendell Stead, old hunter, Hunter, Wendellstead. And then this
happened. The first base umpire yousaw making that call. You're not yelling
at me, I did what Ithat's Wendellstead. I'm looking for to get
hit by the pitch. I've gotanything else to say. You're gone,

(05:35):
Okay, okay, We're not goingto need a John Boy breakdown of that
one. We got a very clearthere you go, now, Aaron saying,
I didn't say anything. It wasa fan in the first Aaron saying,
hold on a second, I didn'tsay a word. I don't care

(06:08):
anymore. He was still tossed,where's the where's the lunkheaded New Yorker to
stand up and say, hey,no, it was said they were there
was mood, but you heard thatthe umpire at that point. I don't
care. I didn't kill my wife. I don't care. I don't care.

(06:29):
The draft this Thursday, you'll hearit right here on AM five seventy
after the Dodgers Nats game. Chargerswith the fifth pick, Raiders with the
thirteenth, the Rams with the nineteenth. Our old friend Raider GM. Tom
to LESCo, formerly of the Chargers, yet to be on the show since
he's been hired by the Raiders.Dog maybe this will be the week.
Well, he did speak to themedia and said we're gonna draft the best

(06:53):
available player rather than immediate need anythingelse. He also said he might trade
it. News flash, GM sayshe's opening trading up, moving back,
picking at a spot like everybody alwayssays the same thing. So, yeah,
like we have a plan right nowto go up if we have to
and be aggressive with it. We'vegot a plan if we stick and pick
obviously, and we've got a planto go back if it's within a certain

(07:15):
range. It's been normal. Thisyear is like other years, like there's
been conversations with other teams, butit's probably more general than specific. It
really wouldn't get more specific to usuallylike later in the process Tuesday, Wednesday,
even Thursday, even sometimes when you'reon the clock. So but it's
been about the same amount of work. But that goes into that rumor is

(07:35):
Jade and Daniels trying to figure outa way to make himself a raider his
connection with Antonio Pierce Sandue Sanburduo.But many say seems like the commanders really
want to take him, so mayjust end up at the number two pick
playing in the nation's capitol, likeyou know, like some movies that may
be pop on from time to time, like White House Down The current w

(08:03):
Patriots are reportedly open to trading thenumber three overall picking Who's a Patriot?
The President fighting for his life JamieFox and the White House Now exactly right,
and Arizona Cardinals number four overall pickreportedly available via trade. But that
price is very high. You no, I've heard if that is a high
price like Sacks off fifth Oh,okay, high price North from rack Chargers

(08:31):
at number five may come in ita nice Hey, you know what Nordstrom
rack? You know, if they'rea little bit up there, how about
we maybe we're even TJ Max.We're not the Hollywood suit outlet though,
No no, no, no no, not the Hollywood suit outlet. But
hey, if they don't want to, they don't want to do a deal
with you, maybe we can figuresomething out here. I got socks too,
would you like a pair of socks? Matt huge News quarterback and number

(08:54):
two overall pick Zach Wilson was tradedtoday the Denver Broncos. Know what that's
next to? State of Colorado?Just buttresses up right to the west too.
You talk and wyomings, We're gonnaget a lot of action. The
deal includes a late round pick swapfor sixth and seventh, and the Jets

eleven fifty Warriors Big and Matt All, I got for that. The Athletico
Yes, they released the results,our friend Sam Am, much to the

(10:54):
chagrin of the Duke of Sports,who thinks it was tainted and tinted and
biased and inconsiderate for all Laker fans. Hey, F you ducas exactly right,
F you do. You could notbe a bigger, more annoying homer
which loses all credibility, which iswhy he needs to take us off of
his bio. Even though nobody likesor retweets or does anything with his running

(11:20):
diary or his tweets, he needsto take a five seventy off of his
bio. You are not a representativeof this station. I'm sorry. You
worked here for five minutes and you'vebeen at KFI for a half decade.
Enough. Let's try to lend credibilityand it's bs and you get us in
trouble with people like the guy thatput this thing together. One hundred and
twenty seven players. Who is thisyear's MVP forty one percent? And these

(11:43):
are NBA players Nikola Jokic, bestdefender in his rookie season, Wembin Yama.
If you're building a roster from scratch, who you take in first?
Wembin Yama and then Jokic. Mostoverrated player Gilbert Rudy Gilbert thirteen percent.
I think that is anti Frank That'swhat I think that is. That's an

(12:07):
anti Yuo. Not cool Jordan Poole. It gets socked in the face on
video. Overrated old face punch sevenpercent, said Trey Young again. Hair
issue. You gotta tease that badlynot good. Who's the greatest player of
all time? Forty five percent Jordanforty two, Lebron nine percent, Kobe

(12:28):
favorite arena to play in thirty fourpercent, MSG, seventeen percent, The
Boston Garden thirteen percent Staples Center.So there you go tonight, pe big

It's James Worthy, the one andonly the jersey hangs in the rafters,
the memories of him as a playerin our minds and hearts. But

(14:22):
of course he is an Emmy Awardwinner. On Spectrum. The Lakers are
in the playoffs, fighting it outanother game tonight, rough Game one,
and here to discuss it all withus is big game James Worthy on early
this week because of the crazy Dodgerschedule. Thank you for accommodating us,
James, How are you, hey, hey, hey, all good man,

(14:48):
you know, just pregame, tryingto get a pre game face going
here a pregame attitude, you know, so after that uh, disastrous second
quarter of a game in Game one, so yeah, it's just you know,

(15:09):
you you the idea is to tryto split one, and that's hard
to do in Denver. They don'tlose it home that often, and when
you have a slight opportunity with thelead, not to guarantee a win,
but you know they that that secondquarter will haunt you for a long time.

(15:33):
Yeah, you mentioned the pregame faceyou want to you get on James.
I mean, it looked like theywere ready, you know, that
that was the one they had toget. That they got the rest even
with the play in. You knowhow much this team will wear you down,
and it just almost felt like,and you know, would love to
know kind of your thoughts that theystarted to figure this out. The Nuggets
sort of weather the storm and bythe time the fourth quarter rolled around.

(15:54):
It's just so reminiscent of all theseLaker Nugget games that end with Nicola jokicch
either making a shot or making thepass and the Nuggets pulling away in the
final five minutes. Yeah, youknow, for about the last several weeks
or so, a month, evenpost All Star Break, I still,

(16:21):
even in the playing situation that theywere in without some key components, particularly
Vanderbilt and different lineups and stuff,I still didn't think they were a team
that anybody wanted to see in thefirst round. Even Denver given the fact
that they've beating them eight times ina row, kind of embarrassed them last

(16:44):
year with the sweep. You know, I still you don't want to see
them in the first round until afterGame one. You know, it was
remnants of reminiscing of like last year. You know, when you have a
twelve point lead in the second quarter, you protect that it might get down
to eight. And the frivolous amateurturnovers that were may give the momentum to

(17:12):
Denver was just something that they couldn'tovercome. And then all of a sudden,
Pope woke up, all of asudden Porter woke up. So they
got to go in tonight. Iknow they had a good start. They're
gonna have to do that again,and they're gonna have to sustain it for
forty eight minutes and probably the biggestbattle this season. How much do you

(17:36):
think James is fatigue a factor whenthey played this team, it seems.
And how much was it a factorwhen you guys used to go to war,
because man, you guys didn't seemto get very tired. And I
know you were tired, but youseem to have it at the end of
the game. You get tired,you know in January when you know you

(17:56):
played like five games and you know, eight days and some back to back
games and we travel commercial so Easternairlines, you know, t w A,
sitting through storms, and but younever get tired in the playoffs.
Never you got to hold summer theto uh to to rest. You know,

(18:21):
this is when you pour it inand pour it on. Uh.
You know mentally there's no there's noresting. Uh. You don't get tired.
You know when when you after,after you play, you rejuvenate and
you get the mind going. There'sno there's no fatigue. Uh. And
and then't really you know, there'sa little altitude, but I think getting

(18:41):
there the day before, get sometime in that that that's not a factor.
So no, I don't, Idon't, I don't. I don't
believe the fatigue is is an issue. The seems like d Russ has taken
a lot of incoming. Uh youshoot one for nine on on your threes
and and I think people just sortof see the margin you lose by they
look at the box score, andand he's obviously gonna be the guy that

(19:06):
the finger gets pointed at. Thequestion that I wonder, James, is
how much of this is specific inyour opinion, specifically by design by Michael
Malone and his staff, because whoeverd Russ is guarding, they are running
like rip Hamilton. I mean,he is just running through screens all over
the place. D Russ is notgreat at fighting through them, and it
just seems like, speaking of fatigue, he just may not have it on

(19:30):
the other end because he's busy chasingdudes. It seems like on the other
end of the floor NonStop. Andit was like Caldwell Pulp that whole game.
Yeah, offensively, you know,he got some some good looks.
Yeah. Uh, you know hecouldn't knock him down. You know that's
you know, you're gonna have thosenights and force it for him. You

(19:51):
know, he's under the microscope defensively, Yeah, I mean last year the
they targeted he him. You know, he was a little weaker last year
he's a little stronger this year.I just think, and you know,
he needs to get more more physical, even to the point maybe if he

(20:12):
gives up a file you know,don't get you know, uh in a
situation where you're being handled physically.And also you have to be careful when
you help and try to get backbecause he you know, when when Yoki
says that picks that handoff, there'sa lot of defensive reactions. You got
to move off your man for acouple of seconds and then try to get

(20:36):
back to him. It's it's hard. You see how they score. But
my point is this when I lookat a D and Lebron and jo Kic
and Murray, you know, thetotal stats you know kind of measure up
with the exception of Lebron only toshooting two shots in the fourth quarter and

(20:59):
the he Jokic gets his and Winniegets him, Reeves ruey D'Angelo. They
have to find a way. Youcannot go you know, that inefficient against
their their other three guys, uhGordon Porter and and uh Corwell, Pope,

(21:27):
you can't. You can't have thatkind of disparity. I mean,
and then our bench, I don'tbelieve we had any points from our bach
last night, So how do youcorrect that. You got to find a
way to involve guys early, especiallyRue who we used to isolate. He
has the size, the physicality.Got to get him going. So say

(21:47):
if you some players are not goingto go get their own So I think
that's critical too, along with Dilowho was critical, but also our bench.
You know, Prince gave us alittle bit, but we got to
get other guys going compared and contrastingto what Denver's getting out of theirs.
James Worthy, there's nobody better.Have you seen James watching the league over

(22:11):
the last couple of years or thisyear? Anybody one or two guys that
do a better job neutralizing Jokitch?Is there anybody out there that can?
Dwight Howard did it? Yeah,I think in twenty because it takes youngest
is an old school guy, youknow, he's uh, Paul mckeeskey or

(22:33):
one of those one of those guys, you know, one of those old
tough one of those tough guys thatjust move people around, you know,
Dan Issel, you know, uh, one of those you know, big
guys that Dave Cowan's a little taller, but just physical and he moves people.
He walks around with his hands up, you know, like he's being

(22:55):
arrested. But what he's doing withhis body, he's just moving people.
He's just moving people around, andthen all of a sudden he'll make a
quick move or he'll do something.He's got a two footer. He's a
genius. He's Kareem Abdul Jabbar andMagic Johnson in one. He doesn't miss
that little jump hook, soft touch, he brings the ball up the floor,

(23:18):
fast break. He can make passeslike nobody else. And so that's
what when I look at him,I'm like, damn, that's magic Kareem
all in the one. So youknow, in order to neutralize him,
it's got to be a pace andif the Lakers don't have pace, they
have a lot of pace in thefirst quarter, a little bit in the
second. But if you if you'regoing to walk it up and not put

(23:41):
him in a pay situation and attackhim, and the only guy that can
do it is a d So that'sthat's that's how he's never filed fromble uh.
It's it's a tough matchup. Yeah, it did that, And I'll
finish with we'll finish with this,James. Do you think just the way
Lebron opted to play the fourth quarterwas sort of recognizing time and score and

(24:07):
conserving yourself because it's in every otherday thing, knowing the you know the
you know what it is playing inDenver. Because the guy took one shot
and it was right when he cameoff the bench at nine minutes. Then
he never took another one, reallywas not aggressive the rest of the quarter,
and it was a double digit leadfor the Nuggets at that point.
Now, I wouldn't want to thinkthat, I hope not. I know

(24:29):
that when when we're not, whenhe's not, you know, when it's
not a one man fast break.A lot of times he's running off of
rebounds when you got a half courseset and you're kind of stagnant and there's
not as much ball movement as itneeds to be in your eye sewing,

(24:49):
and then you know when you tryto go in to a well prepared defensive
team who knows you very well.They've been watching you for the last twenty
one years. So that's when thedeflections happened. Unfortunately for Lebron, I
think seven turnovers were his and sowhen you are in the twenty five point

(25:11):
thirty assists. When the ball ispopping and moving, you know your opportunities
are better if Ruey hits a jumper, if rees is if you're unpredictable.
I think a lot of times whenwe iso ad Lebron, there's a lot
of standing, and that's when werun in trouble. He never runs into

(25:33):
trouble, not in the media,not anywhere. The great James Worthy,
a hero to the people. Havea great night today, James, Thanks

List and I prefer to remember JamesWoods from True Believer a good guy.
Oh yeah, or cop the markof a Fighter. That's Lee,

(28:30):
Barbara kinge Garcia, Matt, Idid this one for you. Vladimir naviacav
I'm sorry, but I'm not.Vladimir Navakov actually a very interesting person,
a Russian born American academic, agreat writer, and an entomologist. Anomology

(28:52):
is what we're doing here. No, No is study of insects. Oh
and yeah, it was like astudy of words for me. No.
No. Vladimir was born in ImperialRussia in eighteen ninety nine would have been
one hundred and twenty five. Todaywe don't have Russian news. No,
we do not. I wish wedid. A wealthy, aristocratic Russian family,
grew up in Saint Petersburg. Inhereded an estate from his uncle when

(29:15):
he was fifteen years old, andthen lost it immediately one year later in
the October Revolution. Cocaine October Revolution. Ah, it was the only house
he ever owned, perhaps cocaine atsome point. A lot of times inheritance
you lose it to cocaine. DuringWorld War One, he was studying in
Cambridge, a very brilliant student andwriter. His father was shot by Russian

(29:37):
monarchists in nineteen twenty two in Berlin. It's pretty bad. He got married
in Germany, but he was marriedto a Jewish woman and he felt it
coming World War two, and antiSemitism around Germany was increasing, kind of
like the feeling around IVY League campusesthese days. Who it is an IVY?
Oh, now there's a good one. If the Dodgers ever play IVY

(30:00):
League teams, we're gonna watch poisonivy. Oh yeah, and two damn
righty. He lived everywhere. Innineteen thirty nine he wrote The Enchanter,
which was kind of like the beginningof his masterpiece Lolita. That was like
the but it was in Russia.So that was his last novel that he
wrote in Russia. He studied insectsand became an entomologist in New York Museum

(30:25):
of nat History. He taught atWellesley, Harvard and Cornell Low Ivy Harvard,
Cornell. He wrote Lolita. Youcould argue Harvard way things are going,
you could argue. In fifty fivehe wrote Lolita while on a butterfly

(30:48):
catching excursion. His wife stopped himfrom burning it. Good job, Via,
that made a lot of money.Lolita was a gigantic hit. He
retired to Montreux, Switzerland. Yes, with all the money he made,
he was able to hunt butterflies everywhereCorsica, Sicily and he hunted them with

(31:10):
flamethrowers just a little net. Hewas an individualist, Matt not a pyromaniac.
He hated freud, which might hurtyour cocaine theory. And he was
also a notorious insomniac. Navikov calledsleep a moronic fraternity and a nightly betrayal
of human genius. He was alsostaunchly conservative and cause and that's a position

(31:36):
he held strongly in his own Hewas a strong insomniac. He shared it,
I'm sure with other insomny What doyou think of this? He was
also staunchly conservative. He called protestersgoofy, hoodlums and conformists. He was
appalled by racism against African Americans inAmerica. Lolita is pretty much on every

(32:00):
best book list in the world.He wrote it in English and self translated
it to Russian. Published it firstin Paris because they were worried. But
it was going to be censored becauseit is about a man who does in
love with a pre pubescent girl.I could see that it's no white house

(32:23):
down, certainly not. It doesn'thave the plot line. No, does
not measure. Just got a hornyold bed. Bad guys making their way
in. Look at that. Justguys as workers right in front of George
Washington. Oh he's gonna shoot George. Why do you gotta do that?
That's presidential portrait? Is not cool, No need for that. Whoa,

(32:44):
you're a live dive. Birthday ofthe Day, British News. It's time
for PMS. British News got tosay the kid King dug English News.
It's time for British News. Cheeriotout. We've done it before, we'll
do it again. Hit it.Kate's Happy seventy fourth to Peter Kenneth Frampton.

(33:06):
We're gonna prog out so hard itstarted right here, humble pie,
turn it up. Kates born inKent Pops was a teacher, head of
the art department at his high school. Self taught grandma's banjo. Lele is
what he first learned on. Thatwas seven eight piano, nine guitar,
all self taught. Parents were like, you know, he might be a

(33:29):
child prodigies. Kind of figured thisthing out pretty damn well on his own.
Hey mom, maybe we gotta gethim some lessons. He was wighing
to Buddy Holly the Ventures the Beatles. Father was like, all right,
you've earned it. I'll play somedjango ronadi. Yeah you've earned it.
Listen to that chap and from thereit's all he wanted to do. Man

(33:52):
was play first band, Little Ravens, the high school rival band to George
and the Dragons, Frampton and Bowieat the same high school at the same
time. Rival bands, but verygood friends. That's tough. At fourteen,
he joined The True Beats, whichhappened to be managed by Bill Wyman

(34:13):
of The Rolling Stones sixty eight.Was hired at seventeen years old to be
the lead guitar and singer of thefamous band at the time, The Herd.
I'd sue I would send a freakingcease and desist the colin coward.
I bet you they don't even knowhow to pour a beer. When he
was eighteen, he was named theFace of nineteen sixty eight by Rave magazine,

(34:36):
the UK version of Tiger Beat.The Face of nineteen sixty eight has
a robot voice mom. At nineteen, he and Steve Mary out of Small
Faces, started this Humble Pie.Steve was ry Yucci exactly. Yeah,
I let to keep my name outthere. It was a band's band man.
Everybody wanted to jam with him andWhistle, Jerry Lee, Lewis,

(35:00):
Harry Nilson, George Harrison would alljam in the studio and record tracks with
him. Seventy one he went solohit It Caates, seventy two is Wins
of Change had Ringo Starr and BillyPreston on it. But the studio recordings,
for whatever reason, did not punintended come alive commercially. The records

(35:24):
they sold fine played medium sized venues, but it was nineteen seventy six as
Frampton Comes Alive winter Land Ballroom,San Francisco. When you hear it,
it sounds like it was done atlike Irvine Meadows or Shoreline or Red Rocks,

(35:45):
like some massive venue with a generallawn section full of ten thousand people
four nicading and having a good timelike the Yeah Stead winter Land. It
is considered to be, and somesuggest, the greatest live album in rock

(36:05):
and roll history. Seems like abit of a stretch for me, but
hey, little Feet all the way. It was the best selling album of
nineteen seventy six and a top tenselling album in nineteen seventy seven. Was
on the Billboard Hot one hundred forninety seven consecutive weeks shirtless Frampton on the
cover of Rolling Stone made him asex symbol, the sex symbol of nineteen

(36:29):
seventy six. He said he regrettedtaking the photo. People no longer heard
his music for the music, butfor his sweet chest. I just want
to see that British bird chest.After this, that BBC British Chess didn't
really happen. It's it, Thisis it man. He starred with the

(36:50):
Begs in the Sergeant Pepper's Lonely HeartsClub Band movie that was a flop,
recorded throughout the eighties with very littlecommercial success. He did an internet guitar
lesson series, kind of like RickBerry's DVD basketball series. He did the
Pete Frampton I'm gonna teach you howto play guitar better than any teacher DVD

(37:10):
internet series and millions, Oh they'reguitaring to him. Absolutely true. Yeah.
He was one of the kind ofthe dudes that started the super tour
thing. Frampton and Sticks in twothousand hit the road and they're like,
oh, people are actually gonna playto come see this. Let's get Frampton
and Foreigner. Let's get Sticks inForeigner. What's Rio doing? Give him

(37:35):
a holler, So we owe thosetours to him. He stayed. Fair
comes alive, no doubt. OhCe Fair Frampton comes alive. You kidding
me? Can't be stopped. Kepttouring until he got what is known as
inclusion body myocytis made his fingers kindof the muscles not work. So I

(37:58):
