the uh the bio profile on hiswhat is it? It's a big green
a big green ball or whatever itis? Right, Why don't you talk

(01:32):

(01:55):
play Clippers Mavericks tip off. It'son our sister station, AM eleven fifty.
Progressive is the new mainstream. Man. I hate to correct you,
but we gotta trifecta of sports playedby a play time. Don't forget about
the Kings on the iHeartRadio app ina three to one hole up in Edmonton
taking on the Oilers. Thank you, Kates, my apologies, corrections and

(02:21):
distractions, corrections and retractions on theface tired of being nailed by the Kings.
A well, anyway, we areback tomorrow with a full show,

a lot of great content. Everythingcan be podcast on the iHeartRadio app for

(02:43):
your smartphone, or you can streamthe show live with all the bells and
whistles. It's all right there inHD on the app. Now. I
don't know what's going to happen inthe desert tonight, but whatever, Tim
Kates, can you guys hop backon this time soon? I think it

(03:08):
might be a couple of hours.I was glad Kate's got out of there.
Kate's got out right under the wirebefore the b thing happened. I
saw the swarm on TV and Iwas like, I'm out of here.
Ran Monday and never we're talking aboutthe roof. They're like, oh,
they're looking up at the roof.And Kate saw the swarm on TV and

(03:28):
called in and was like, it'sbees. They're not looking at the roof.
So Kate saved the day from thesatellite little bitch truck or his dad's
car, whatever it is. AndI think it's the Toyota Highlander. No,
that's no longer. We can't dothat anymore, can't do it.
Guess somebody on the fifth floor ruinedour chances to drive sweet company vehicles like

(03:53):
Steve Hartman when he lived in oneacross from the boneyard over the other out
of the river. When he washere, it was Valentine and his stupid
cowboy boots. He punctured a holeon the floorboard. Now nobody can have
nice things. I hate to correctyou again, man, it's not boots.
It's uggs that he wears. Twice. Been that kind of week.

(04:20):
You get accused of asking a Roganand Rodney question, and apparently it's open
season on me. Everybody feels likethey can come after me. Now.
Well, and you tell the CEOof the Clusters and he's like, oh,
you gotta go guys. All right, guys, yep, good talk,
boy. I am gonna tell awalker. But sage advice from a

(04:41):
sage. Yes, you know,the greatest roast of all time, Tom
Brady Trump getting rusted. You know, normally I would not subscribe to a
statement like that, But knowing thatwe believe his wife had been banging her
judo instructor for the last ten years, it's been quite well documented, and
that Jeffrey Ross is in charge ofthis thing, it very well may be

(05:03):
the greatest roast all time. Well, I do believe this is going to
be worth watching. What I thinkis going to happen is somebody's going to
get like four words out of theirmouth that are derogatory and Jim Gray is
going to tackle him. Yeah,Jim Gray could kick in the door.
Gray is He's gonna be there andhe's not gonna be able to control himself.
You guys need to stop. Stop. Oh and then then it becomes

(05:27):
open season out freaking Jim Gray.Oh. My favorite thing ever, and
I think about it all the time, is when Jim Gray sat down with
those three New York type guys atthe Super Bowl and they asked him about
popping up in the documentary with Oprahand Steadman and going to dinner Puffy,
and instead of just having a littlefun with it, he's like, what

(05:48):
what does it matter who I havedinner with? And the guy's like,
you know what, get out ofhere, get out, We're done with
you. That was great, Youknow what, Jim, Just leave.
It was the condescending tone in whichhe justiss, hey, Jim, you
know what, just go well,what do you mean, just leave?
We're done? Just leave? Thatwas that was a arguably the greatest.

(06:09):
Uh, we don't play that.I mean we play we play Felger and
Maz. We play what else dowe play? That's play our friend josh
anis getting into it in Minnesota atthe mall of them. But we only
played that one time. Like wego back to Ferg, Felger and Maz.
What we should do is play rattlerattle, thunder, rattle, boom,
boom boom. Don't worry called thecar x Man f fast. We

(06:36):
do need to do more of that, you know, what to hell with
New Year's resolutions? How about theGreek Easter resolutions? Here we go?
Is it in there? Is theUh, it's not in there. Just
go, Jim, Jim, justuh, just get out of here.
It was from a Boston sports radioshow called Tauscher and Rich Toucher, Toucher

(06:57):
and Rich, Toucher and Rich.And here's a lit, sir, from
the Super Bowl a couple of yearsago. Jim Gray with them film stuff.
And that's where you guys live inLos Angeles, okay. And that's
where you guys were having dinner,well right by there. Yes, you
seem to be very secretive about this. Well, why would my dinner plans
be of any interest anybody. Ohno, you've tried to answer the question.
So I was invited open to dinner. So I went to dinner.

(07:18):
But it was it was because yourOprah's famous and you have and Tom Brady
was filming something and you happen tobe there. That doesn't they're two very
famous people. And then there's JimGray. I know Tom right, Oprah
knows Tom Steadman knows Tom, Oprahknows my wife. We're all friends,

(07:40):
So why not have a dinner.So that's what that was. Okay,
so you got there really early fordinner then because perhaps they ran late.
Well, it was the beginning ofthe very secretive No. I mean,
I mean I don't know what whatyou're trying to get to the end point.
I mean, right, you don'twant to be here real real quick

(08:03):
quick? Are the questions when youput what you no, you just won't
answer any questions. It's boring.I mean you're being defensive and looking at
that weird all right, a stupidquestion, but real quickly, all right,
then I don't want any quick question. Okay, were you doing having
dinner with somebody? No, wedidn't know you were having dinner. And
I told you that he didn't likethe answer. How Jesus, Jim,
just go. You have to doby you get out of here. Oh

(08:24):
Jesus, Jim just go. You'reJim Gray. You think we need you?
Oh God, he's gonna do itfor these fifteen minutes. Just get
out of here. I told youhe didn't like the answer. How Jesus,
Jim, just go. Jim Grayis gonna try. He's gonna he's

(08:45):
gonna pull in the line of firelike Eastwood at the Bone. Eventual,
the amount of just sell is bangingthis guy and banging that guy. It
is going to be incredible. She'sgonna be the Horror Battlon. It's gonna
be amazing. We got tickets toto give away the lucky listeners. Yeah,
the Horror of Babylon. And ifyou happen to be in that room

(09:09):
and Jim Gray tries to assault theGreat Jeffrey Ross, it is your responsibility,
as a pist listener to prevent thatassault. Attempt to assault by Jim
Gray. You have to tackle thatguy crossbody block exactly right. It's time
for the front fun fact, it'sfun effect. It's the Yeah, we're

(09:33):
fact. A pound of honey ismade by two million flower visits, an
average hive of fifty to sixty thousandworker bees will fly fifty five thousand miles
back and forth to bring that honey. And a honeybee worker only makes an

(09:54):
average of one twelfth of one teaspoonin her life lifetime. Oh that's great,
b and right there. Huh.They might have had the B guy,
but we got that. That's right, you can have the bee guy.
We do our own research instead ofsome questions. Honey quick hits everybody.

(10:22):
Ye Dodgers are nineteen and thirteen.They wrap up their nine game road
trip tonight in Arizona. Ya'm amoto coming off a great performance. First
pitch at six forty and you knowthe Angels and Phillies finished up today.
Don't care? What don't care?Sorry? Apologies, We love you,

(11:26):
Game five tonight like excited about that? Well fifty kidding me? You know,

the series. Like the talk,that's a long day for the salty a
Matt it is, you know,producing Rogan and Rodney having a track down
a professional beekeeper. And now you'vegot to do a pregame with interviews and

(11:48):
round tables. It's a playoff contest. The stakes have never been higher.
He's got to do half. Uhthe TikTok guy's gonna interact with him?

this out so we can get alittle rattle rattle, thunder rattle. That's
all right, What do we got, Kate's here we go, crattle rattle,
thunder clatter, boom boom boom.Oh we just got the jingle.
We didn't find the Holmes versus croninf that's kind of improvisational segment, is
this? I think it's pretty muchstandard fair for Petro spining. Lebron's stamponent

(12:35):
didn't come in. Lebron James couldnot now wait twenty four hours to get
back in the news. Last night, he first a statement on Twitter.
Sam I've seen and heard a lotof reports about my future. I said
it last night and I'll say itagain. I do not know yet,
as I'm only thinking about spending timewith my family and friends. Oh exclamation

(12:56):
point, family and friends. WhenI know, after speaking with my family,
my counsel, as well as myrepresentation about it, then you guys
will know with your soul. That'swhat he said. Actually, just the
night before, I just want toget into the family, honestly, started
looking at the schedule. Obviously,I got, uh, you know,

(13:18):
my son, one of my boys, is just trying to decide if he's
gonna, you know, enter thedraft or go back to school. I
got another kid that's playing au ballright now, my daughter is playing volleyball,
and my wife is doing so manygreat things. So it's about family
right now. And then a coupleof months, I got to go to
Vegas for training camp, so andI'm gonna rest my body for for USA
B. But that's kind of theinitial thoughts. I mean, I know,

(13:43):
maybe I'm playing semantics here because Idislike him so strongly, but like,
counsel is is really your lawyer?Like I think he is maybe misunderstanding
what council is. Like it's justanother turn, it's an adjective for lawyer.
No, No, he goes tothe Lebron tried fun, council,
got you It supposed to see uncilthe council, not the counsole. Yeah,

(14:05):
no, it's the counselor up inthe clouds. God, I hate
that guy and we had James Worthyon a little bit earlier with some great
perspective on those Lakers. Unfortunately,it was it was a trait that we
saw quite a bit this season.You know. It's unfortunately we had this

(14:28):
still lot of that at least twelveor fourteen games where you know, the
same thing they should have won.They shouldn't even been in that play in
position again, because there were timesduring the regular season where they had leads
against really poor teams sometimes or teamsthat were without players, and they just

(14:50):
lost. And you know, Iknow they had injuries like everybody else,
but when it gets to the playoffs, it seems like it was the same,
you know, the lack of understandingvalue of possessions when you have a
twelve point lead, when you havea twenty point lead, you know,

(15:11):
players that sometimes aren't supposed to huddletogether and take care of that craft themselves,
you know, and say, look, as it can't be turning the
ball. We you know, look, it's what we need to do.
And they just didn't have that theyhad. You know, I kind of
call it like the pace car atthe at the at the Indianapolis five hundred

(15:31):
where just you know, the pacecar it sets the pace, it goes
around and round and round, andthen it gets out of the way,
and then the cars come and theyrace, and I just don't understand what
this type of you know, veteranplayer like Lebron ad you know, enough
experience. I think Rees has hadenough experience to not be able to handle

(15:56):
that, you know, so thatwas a that was a problem. And
then when you when you play ateam that has that, and they just
kind of you know, file theirnails, you know, until the last
five minutes of the fourth court theysay, oh, okay, let's go,
let's go get this one. Andthey're very good at it, and
the Lakers just seem to not beable to you know, equal that.

(16:21):
You know, they're not as theirtheir cohesiveness is not as good as Denver.
So you got to control certain things, can't turn the ball over,
you got to get the good shots, you know, just so, but
they just time after time, turnoverafter turnover. And now you know,
they had they had their chance.You know, so many people are focusing
on how tight the contests were,and I get it. You know,

(16:45):
they have the twenty point lead,they have double digit leads in almost each
of the five games, but theystill lose four games to one. That
Denver is now eight and one againstthem the last two postseasons. But like,
what what do you what do youlook forward to next year? If
you know Oklahoma City and what Minnesotaare doing with these incredibly young rosters,
you know, twenty five year oldShay Gilgis, twenty two year old Anthony,

(17:10):
Like, what do you think thefuture of this team is from a
competitive standpoint? That still, bythe way, finished seventh in the Western
Conference or with those young teams aheadof them, can they just afford to
run it back or do they needto do something major? You look at
what's you look at the playoffs rightnow, like no Steph Curry, no

(17:33):
kd Yeah, Lebron, Lebron gettingyou know he's out. There's probably another
guy that you know that's that's JamionGreen, those guys. You know,
it's it's a change that other guardright now. Man, it's it's it's
it's it's different. And it's notlike it's like you know, it's not
like it's like Okay, Celtics andLakers for sure, you know, San

(17:56):
Antonio, they're going to be backin action pretty soon. You know Denver
has emerged. It's just, youknow, I think that for me,
the inability to to grow. Whosaid who are coached beforehand? Phoenix now
Oogel, Yeah, you know,And it's just it's it's it's hard.

(18:21):
You know, every two years yougot, you got different coach. You
know, you're trying to stack up. I look at you know, I
look at Beasley in Milwaukee when wehad and he couldn't he couldn't hit the
ocean. Sometimes that's the system,you know what I mean. And and
so I don't think the Lakers haveallowed it to grow. I think we
wanted a bubble. We were goodthat year, were decent, but I

(18:45):
think you know, we we lostPolk, we lost Monk. You know,
we traded out players to get player. That's fine, but we haven't
gotten what Denver has or what youknow, the teams that that that are
stick like glue, you know.And that's why I think we have inconsistencies.
We made we made moves after thetrade line, you know, after

(19:07):
last year, and we got youknow, the Russell Westbrook. Then we
bought some guys in they had halfa season last year. It looked pretty
good. What they what they're ableto do, then you transfer that to
this year, you know, itjust it, you know, they still
they had like forty five fifty games. And that's the only way I can
explain it. Like Denver's lost together, they won together. They've been injured

(19:30):
together. Boston when they they tooktheir time, spent four or five years
losing, then they finally So Idon't know what the answer is. You
know that they're talented enough to runit back. Does that mean that gives
them more time to to get bettercohesiveness or get to know each other better.

(19:52):
I don't know, because they showedgreat signs, you know, so
I was I was just you know, a little confuse from you know,
from game to game sometimes. SoI really don't know. I think I
think teams that stay together and gotogether they always have, you know,
incentive to do better. It's justdepending on what the front office wants to

(20:14):
do. How about the Broncos.Though we love Zach Wilson, Yeah,
acquired last week from the Jets.No surprise, they are not picking up
the fifty year option, just likeJacksonville did not pick up the fifty year
option for Mac Jones. Because aquarterback's fifty year option is twenty two million
dollars plus. The Broncos just draftedBo Nicks, who's like thirty years old,
and you would assume he'll start hisrookie season. Hommy freaking Tom Day,

(20:40):
Holady, how many times we hadsucks in a row? So everybody
wets to know the numbers? Whereare we at? We went sixty and
then what then? What where arewe at? Tom is like twelve sixty
plus twelve with the seven days inthe middle. The academy is so handsome,

(21:03):
so handsome. Look at him,he's so handsome. Hey, you
know. The Big Ten basketball scheduleapplies to you, Matt, It does,
and hopefully some home games. Asof course, USC and UCLA now
part of the Big Ten, theywill play fourteen opponents once. They will
face three opponents twice. In thecase of UCLA the team we broadcast here

(21:27):
on AM five seventy, that isUSC, Oregon and Washington, they will
play twice their road games. Thinkabout football is quite easy, the basketball
stuff not as much. The fourteenteams for one game, seven at home,
seven on the road will include Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota,

(21:48):
Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin. The I'm sorry those are the
home games. Oh no, theroad game's not quite as favorable. Illinois,
Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, and Rutgers. Yeah.
Hey, you know the Kings aredown three to one and their Stanley

(22:10):
Cup playoffs versus the Oilers Game fivetonight in Edmonton. Head coach Jim Hiller.
Hiller, he's got a real Canadianstyle. His team will take their
effort in game four on the roadwith them tonight in a mustling Game five.
This is a game we got totake with the Stadminton. Now,
you know, disappointed we're not tootwo, but we got to go play
this game in Edmonton. Now,in the next game, you know the

(22:32):
feeling, I mean you as aplayer, the team in the room,
the preparation, the effort, it'sright there. So to summon that buck
up back up again is not likewe have to go and find him.
It's right there. We did it, so it should not be that difficult.
Well yeah, okay, drop thebucket. Seven King's games are NHD
on the Kings channel on the iHeartRadioapp. And how about Tiger Woods and

(22:53):
his old pel Carson Daily chopping itup. On the Today Show this morning,
he said he plans on playing inthree remaining majors, the three that
are coming up this season, includingthe PGA Championship, which is in two
weeks at Valhalla. Tiger also announcedthe launch of sun Space day Space Red,

(23:17):
his new line of golf training andlifestyle apparel and accessories. He told
Today that he plans on planning thosemajors. That's exciting, and he told
him with a weird hairline, it'sMary Trey Young esque. Now it'lly holding
one to that thing and it looksreally weird. Him and Lebron, Yes,

(23:37):
Lebron too. You know we gotBarkley and Jordan's Spearbald. What's wrong
with that? I'm wrong with that, Tiger. What's wrong with that?
Guys? You wear a hat mostof the time. Anyway, No one
cares. I can't quite figure outwhat's going on beyond the hairline too,
Tiger. He looks weird. There'slike, uh, I don't reach You
reach for those pills, man,right, You reach for those pills too
many times? He looks beaten down. I don't know if it's plastic surgery.

(24:00):
I don't know if I'll tell youexactly what it is. I know
it's something like that. I'll tellyou what you know. It's not of
jaw reconstruction. It's not that.I'll tell you exactly what it is,
Matt. It's the pills, thepills, preaching for the pills. Dodgers
d Backs. First pitch six forty, Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound. Dodger
fans, get your game, Damemeal On at Shaky's Pizza Parler. Order

A lot of delays. Half toit upon David massaying crew. This year's

Wow, you're still rolling in thedeep on that. Huh. We're boom
