I don't want Vic to derail the show because he
(02:59):
was trying to derail their show and the last segment, yeah,
he was trying to the friend show. He was trying
to he was trying to derail with claims of racism
in France, and we can't have that. No, we don't
do that here.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We're not doing that. No. Serena Williams got community noted
on Twitter saying that they wouldn't serve her at a
restaurant in France is because the restaurant was booked. And
I know something about a booked restaurant and over officious
customers tell you that right now, no place for that here.
And you know what, there's no place to yell you're
(03:35):
a fraud and you're a loser to a radio show

We we can have a Papa shot out there if
you guys want it. Yeah, it may take two hours
to put together, but we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Put everybody at risk out in the street.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
What about social media Matt's Times Square like spinning Instagram
thingto machine.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
We can bring that out. Well, I shouldn't say we
can bring it out. It's a massive machine.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I got asked, right, and he gives it to us,
not like Ronnie who won't even rent out his karaoke machine.
And all you can sing on Ronnie's karaoke machine is Eraser.

And it's a really good one too, guys. A few
the lights and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, so that's all gonna be fun and we'll be
out in the eight oh five. We don't.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm sure Jonas Knox is going to swing by, absolutely.
I put the invite out to him.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
He's out of town. I think I've been filling in
for him this week.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I thought he said he was going to make it
out there.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Look at that, well, and that's what I want.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You know. I was talking to Brady Quinn about the Olympics,
because you know he's married to an Olympic gold medalist
gymnast from over the day, Yeah, Alicia's sacramony. And he
was out there and he said that the French were
going out of their way to be so nice. And
then I hear Vic with these accusations on the Friend Show.
Ben and Fred and Vic sits there and lets Ben
(08:21):
Maller say all those things about Dave and doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's not cool, Vick.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
They took calls about Dave today making fun of him.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They took calls making fun of Dave, our intrepid Dodger
reporter and the best damn guy that covers the team
in town.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, all those creepy overnight moles that only come out
at night because the day is much too bright.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The freaks come out at night.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They got the Ben Mallard bat signal and called in
to attack Dave.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
The Malard militia, correct, the Mallard missanthropes.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Vic, Dave, you didn't stand up for Dave.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I was not I was no not in on that segment.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Didn't acknowledge it and say, hey, that wasn't cool.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Man, Too busy trying to indict some poor French restaurant, Vic.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Let me clarify. You know, the chaos and it all
loops back to the TAVERNA don't do it, Vic, Hey,
you know Serena Williams walked in and we were booked, booked.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You have to wait.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
A special A special guest came in from thousands of
miles away.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Wouldn't you produce a table for the special guests?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, it really depends, you know. I mean, you can
only do so much if you have bookings and every
table is reserved and it's a bougie place and there's
no wiggle room, and you've already carried a table that
didn't exist out into a front room that's not supposed
to exist and put a tablecloth on that for somebody else.
And here comes Serena with her entitlement and her sour
(09:59):
look on her face. What am I gonna do? Soccar Blue, Sorry,
we can't help you. I didn't expect some guy in
l A to call me a racist when I made
that decision as a French matre d man.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't know what went down.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I'm not going down that Den River sand Man with
you on that.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I'm just this is strictly calling with a corrections and retractions.
No one is, no one is too big for your
reservation book. Just because it's Serena Williams doesn't matter. I'm sorry.
Vic Uh. We did not take calls from people taking
shots at Dave. According to figures, we played one caller
from Ben's show last night. Who told a joke about Dave?
(10:39):
That was it?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And that's too much? Okay, that's still too much's.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
It's a it's a family few that I would like
to uh suffocate because obviously these guys are friends for decades.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't think so, Vic, I don't think they like
each other. I think they've got a real problem.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, I think there's a real issue there, Vic.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, it'll play itself out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And here you are attacking the restaurant industry international.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
I'm just I'm talking procedure, and Pete, no one's more
familiar with restaurant etiquette and procedure than yourself.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know. So you roll up demanded table, they tell
you we're booked, so you would is booked?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Okay, it's booked, and in roll is a very special
guest like thousands of miles away.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Thousands of miles away. They doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It mattered last segment, not at all.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
They're in.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
They're in for the they're in for the Summer Olympics
twenty twenty eight copy.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Okay, well you know what that tells me, Vic, This
this is not a return customer. I got to take
care of my regulars. I guess especially it's going to
come to my restaurant once and then I am never
going to see him or her again.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Serena Williams has a home
in parents.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, so then maybe I did take care if she
might return.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
My point is if my point running the restaurant, I
have a bat.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
If you're if it's a booked restaurant and you give
it a shot and say, hey, let's try to get
a table, they tell you, sorry, we can't do it.
You say, but look at how many times I've won
rolling Garros. They say, sorry, we still can't do it,
and you turn around and attack them on Twitter? Is
that what we want to do? Vic? If I was
at the Papa Vegas, ever, and I told her you
didn't have a spot, and then she turned around and
attacked me on Ax, I'd say, I'm justified. I'm glad
(12:31):
I didn't give her a spot, because that's the type
of person she is.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Or if I was running the restaurant and let's say
I have which is what she means to plan B,
I would say, so Rito, why don't you try?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You know?
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Cafe Bleu over on on the left bank, it's a
sensational restaurant.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I'll call them, make sure you get a table.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I would that's good business thing.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Who's to say they didn't do that? And she just
wasn't indignant angry.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Who's to say they didn't didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Who's to say which way the wind blows.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I'm looking at this restaurant's website right now for reservations.
They've got zero reservations except for one o'clock in the
afternoon through this weekend.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Everything else in that book, she should have gone at
one when all the French are sleeping it out. How
dare you vic?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
She wants to go next Tuesday. There's plenty of tables
of it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I'll see that.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
It's it's it's such a special time in Paris. Why
why not go the extra mile and accommodate you know special.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Greatest female athlete in the history of.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Athletics, I mean, the Queen of Roland Garrot on so
many occasions, the.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Red Clay.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I mean, I was just uncomfortable with the whole booking process.
I just want everything smooth and comfortable.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Listen, I'm sorry that she couldn't get into the Parisian
restaurants she wanted, and she needed to attack them on
social media. Attacking then somebody like you has to come around,
and you know, you know the type of people that
attack restaurants on social media. Patrick Mahomes, Brother, that's it. Okay,
it's not cool, Vic, you know better.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That guy's awesome.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
I love I love restaurants, but I also love service,
and I loved going the extra mile for my customer.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
And that's what I would have done if.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
I'm running the ut a bad attitude.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But if she's a serf, dude with an attitude.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, by the way, the restaurant replied to her on Twitter,
did you guys see this? Dear missus Williams, please accept
our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight. Unfortunately,
our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked, and the only
unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, La Unk,
(15:00):
which was fully reserved. We have always been honored to
welcome you and will always be welcoming to you again, Sincerely,
the Peninsula, Paris, Hi.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
How difficult is it? How am we to ficeele? Is it?
To get a table and a couple of chairs?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And say, you know, you know her husband's like a
billionaire Reddit founder, right, right, right, Vick, I mean we're
not talking about like you know, she didn't she didn't
roll up to a Parisian restaurant with like Lil Wayne
and Flave. You know. I mean, I think you're painting
a picture that would not hang in the loop. Am
(15:44):
I wrong? Now?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Well, I mean I was at the Taverna when freaking
Marlon mckeeverer rolled up and you told me to beat it,
and you gave him my table. I did, so, you know,
I had.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Your table picked up and moved to the alley on
Center Street.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
That's exactly right. And I was shanked.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yes, I said, make sure you shank this guy real good.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
So peeing the history of the Taverna. You're telling me
a special guest came. You didn't make special accommodations.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
For the special. I'll tell you this book. I'll tell
you a great story, my father, it was even worse
than that. Like, let's say you walked into the restaurant
and it was busy and chaotic, and our lives were
busy and chaotic, and we're not stable people. We proved
it every day. And a guy saw his party and
just walked to the table. My father, with hands full
(16:33):
of plates clearing a table, told the guy please go
back to the front and I'll come and talk to you.
And the guy said something snarky, and my father dropped
the place, picked him up and threw him like a
cannon ball through the door to hit the light post outside,
and he slid down the light post and their party
(16:56):
just all got up and left. They had a table.
So I hope that answers your question.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Listen, whatever John Popadakas does for me is love or did.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But yes, most of the time we tried to accommodate everybody.
But if you said, my point is, if you said
something to the restaurant tour John or Tom Papadekas had
had a snarky attitude, you could be physically assaulted in
those days, and I've seen it on more than one
occasion that there was physical assault.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, it seems like this, and again I wish I
was there to have witnessed the encounter. I speak with
ignorance on the matter, but based on the Twitter exchange,
it appears as though there were some empty tables and
the fit was thrown, suggesting why can't I have that table?
It is empty as it stands right now. Well, because
(17:50):
that table is reserved and the person who reserved it
is en routed and will be seated from the reservation
they made a week ago, correct, And that's where the problem.
That's how the problem is.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I mean, Vic, I mean, we could get a folding
table and chairs and put them by the bathroom, but
she'd probably complain about that.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Right, well, you must show show some some some class,
some dignity.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Are you saying that they didn't for your customer?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I don't know, I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
That this is not a popular take by you, Vic,
Usually you have.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
To be I'm I'm about customer service.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
What about the information that Tim Kaits just shared the
response from the restaurant and then also adding in that
through the weekend, this restaurant is so popular they have
but a single reservation available between now and Sunday and
it is for one pm. Now, having all of that
information at your at your disposal, do you still feel
(18:49):
as though she was wrong where they specifically pointed out, Hey,
those two tables were for another restaurant. We don't control them.
We controlled the roof top bar where you were trying
to get a table where there were none. The tables
you saw do not belong to us.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
I would have reacted in the moment with a little
more empathy for the for my customers.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Why do you always stick up for the billionaire? Vic?
Are you always?
Speaker 7 (19:17):
I'm considering Serena Williams basically a customer.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, who wanted the table.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's all I said, Just like, just like Vic the brick,
just like any other customer who gets turned away back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
We're full, We're booked. Those tables aren't open, they're reserved.
That's why you can't have them, because someone will be
occupying them in the next five minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Now if the if it's the big puzza pole vaulter,
that's a horse of a different.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Color, Vic. What if they see Serena and the couple
behind them in line at the stand says, well, we
don't have a reservation either. But you just seated her.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, you just seated that giant headed woman. I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
You know what this reminds me of, guys, remind st
of a television episode I saw show called Yes Dear.
A couple goes out for a nice dinner, you know,
they don't tend to go out to date night. They
finally managed to make their way out to the finest
Chinese restaurant in.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Town, and here comes some hot shot a radio. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
They think they have a reservation. They've lined everything up,
they have meticulously planned this evening out, and they've been
sitting in the waiting room for a considerable amount of time.
The husband the wife has grown tired. The husband has
become embarrassed because of all the people that are jumping
the line in front of them, and they the fatigue
(20:38):
of irrelevancy. Yes, why because of celebrity? Is my money
not good?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Here?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Do we not all have mouths and hands with which
we eat?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I know it's Vix a communist, Matt, you make fun
of me and say I'm a communist. Fix a real communist.
He wants equal for everybody, No tables available unless you're
really important.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Like Serena and all all.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It doesn't matter oligarchy, Yes, it could be so Rena Williams.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It could be a net Williams.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, we'll listen, Vic, put a cark in it and
listen to this, because this is it here.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's going to be really cool reading this.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, it's just to be saying.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Still waiting for their table.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Hi, Steve Hartman and Victor Brick Jacobs, we have a
sixty dinner reservation.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Of course, gentleman, your table's ready.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Okay, Why they see those guys before us?
Speaker 6 (21:35):

in l a Hey, Victor Brick. Feeling you feeling you? No,

Speaker 6 (21:55):
If you think the Lakers a gonna win this weekend,
I think the Lakers cann win it.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
By more than four and a half.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I'm trying to get even from football season.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, so am I.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You see that amazing analogy?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You see that's a great poll.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Great poll. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Your celebrity experience, vic has clouded your judgment.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Great call.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
That was a documentary, the great.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yes, dear listen, if you're your speeches now, aren't you
not at all? That was a fabulous poll. By the way,
an amazing analogy.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
But if you're a tourist in Paris, I'm just saying,
if you own a restaurant, open yourself up, go the
extra mile.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's my day restaurant. It's the most desirable table in
all of Paris.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The peninsula. For God's sakes, Vic.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It's not a restaurant. It is the restaurant that everybody
wants to eat, where everybody wants to eat.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, we couldn't. Doesn't she have an assistant to call
and make a reservation?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Call ahead, Salian points.
Speaker 1 (23:08):

know is I think it's kind of communist when a
man works twelve hour day and can't have a couple
of beers on the way home behind the wheel a car.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's just bad luck.
Speaker 1 (23:20):

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Very excited to talk to our old friend, a class
act and a great guy. A decade as the GM
of the Chargers, the pride of John Carroll, University. Some
changes were made after last season, and quality, respected people
do not remain on the market for long. He got
(25:19):
snatched up by the Raiders. Now the GM of the
Silver and Black Unbelievable still has great ties to the area,
not just through the Raider fandom, but the Corona del
Mar High School. Let's go see kings Kate sees him
and Coastamson down at camp and he joins us now
(25:40):
on your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline. The Great
Tom Telesco once again on the Petrosen Money Show, Tommy T.
What's cracking? Tom? How are you welcome to the show?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Hey, long time no talk. It's great to be back on.
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's wonderful to have you on. It's great to hear
your voice. And the listeners love here hearing from you
as well. They came very accustomed to these interviews. Uh,
just give us a little overview. What it's been like,
Uh the last few months. You work for the Chargers
a long time? Uh, did not remain on the job
market very long. H A GM for the art rival
(26:16):
an amazing transition.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Yeah, I mean, what a what a league in the
NFL is you just never know what's going to happen.
But yeah, it's it's been great. I'm very lucky, grateful
to have this, this opportunity to go to the Raiders
and their franchise, and it's been great. It's been you know,
a whole you know, new journey, new people, new challenge
(26:39):
to be a part of this and you know, something
I love to do. And and you know, when I
left the Chargers, didn't know exactly what was going to
be next, was trying to figure out what the next
stuff was going to be and really had no idea
what it could be either from you know, maybe going
coach some high school football, the may hook on with
another team, didn't really know. And then the Raiders thing
kind of came up, and it's been a great fit
and it's just been great refreshing, something new, something different,
(27:02):
and you know, and then doing training camp down here,
it's been you know, a little bit weird. Well yeah,
it is a little different, you know, same fields and
you know, same set up at the hotel here, but
it's been great. They're very comfortable for me here.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Great to hear your voice again, Tom, Great to have
you back on again. I think for all the Raider
fans that are listening, just kind of go straight to
the football. And the first draft pick that you made
for the Raiders, someone that a lot of people thought
was going to go in the top five before you know,
the college season ended, brock Bowers ends up sliding to you,
and you got two great tight ends. Your depth chart
(27:37):
just came out, you listed with two starting tight ends,
Bauers and Mayor. Just kind of take us through that
selection and and sort of how it became brock Bowers.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Yeah, you know, it was really important us with that
first pick to make sure we took a really clean prospect,
and that was a big thing. Make sure, you know,
wherever we took we felt like had the highest odds
possible of succeeding with us. Like, you know, there's there's
no guarantee with these picks, but we really want to
make sure we drafted a clean prospect. And you go
through the process and you have to, you know, you
(28:06):
have to have every contingency plan prepared for us. You
just don't know what's going to happen. Didn't really think,
you know, we thought black Bars could go before our pick,
but then again, you know, he plays a position that
you know, necessarily isn't always drafted really high. So we
were prepared in case that came up, and it did.
And you know, one thing with the Greaters last year
(28:27):
is just on offense. We need to score more and
he can help us with that in the passing game.
As far as some matchup work, we also have Michael Mayer,
who the Raiders that drafted the year before. You know,
two probably different, little different style of tight ends, but
two guys that can really help out the quarterback, you
know with a EGI throwers, pitch and catch, move the chains.
(28:48):
So you know, got we've got high hopes for Brock
moving forward.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Wonderful stuff from Tom to LESCo. You working with Antonio
Pierce an l a legend in his own right. What's
that relationship like? He's got a lot of energy and
looks like he surrounded himself for you guys have surrounded
him with some veteran guys like Marvin Lewis and Tom Coughlin.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Yeah, you know, he's he's the real deal. I mean,
it's it's been really cool working with him. He's you know,
trying to establish an identity here and establish a Raider
identity and I'm both sides of the ball, and that
that's been his his plan. His attention to detail has
been outstanding in camp, everything from practice preparations to the
things he do on the grass, and he just you know,
(29:30):
he's such really high expectations, communicates that really well. He
knows how to motivate and push people. And then when
you just mentioned like we have a really wide ranging staff.
We've got some younger, energetic, up and coming coaches, and
then we also have some experienced coaches like Marvin Lewis
former head coach. We've got Rob Ryan on the staff
and Joe Philbin another former head coach. Joe's working with
(29:51):
somewhat with our offensive line. So he surrounded himself with
with a lot of experience to kind of lean on,
you know, as he works through this. Because this is
his first time a full time NFL head coach. Is
you know, first off season, first training camp. But it's
been great working with him thus far.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Tom, I know, uh, he's more than a mustache to you.
But Aidan O'Connell probably best known outside of Raider fandom
for that incredible mustache that he Sports depth chart has
an or did not name a starter says Gardner Minshew
or Aidan O'Connell. What can you tell us about your
quarterbacks that that well, one you inherited, the other you
brought in as a free agent.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Yeah. Really, this is the first time in my career
I've been in a situation where really not sure who
our quarterback will be opening day. We've got got those
two guys competing for the job and both you know,
different styles of quarterback. But we're a lot of play
out and see how it goes. I mean, Aiden Aiden
in a really difficult situation last year when they made
a head coaching change and then really have made a
(30:52):
coordinator change. And through all that, I played extremely well.
And you know, and and he's got a lot of
fuels we like, but he's still young quarterbacks. We want
to make sure, you know, didn't know how the draft
would play out. We want to make sure that we
had some depth and competition with him at that position
going into the season. So we had signed Gardner Minshew.
And Gardner is a you know, it's not an older
(31:15):
not an older quarterback, but he does have some experience
as a starter with a couple of different teams. And
Gardener just has the Moxie Bottom as far as moving
the football team and converting third down and converting in
the red zone. So those two, those two guys have
been battling it out. And you don't necessarily have a
time frame on who will name the starting quarterbacks for
the opening day against the Chargers, But we're going to
kind of let it play out and they'll both play
(31:37):
in the first preseason game and we'll kind of take
it from there.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Tom, you mentioned a Raider identity. You know, the NFL
is not a league where you have a bunch of
time anymore. So you know you're trying to put your
mark on a roster quickly if you are, how much
do you consider, you know, the identity of the franchise,
you know, the Davis family, Darth Vader, you know all
that stuff. Does that you know, is there is there
(32:01):
a certain mentality?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I mean have you started wearing all black and uh,
you know, dressing loud, you know with I mean, how
do you consider that in your decision making?
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Well, I am wearing all black, yeah, and you know
I'm a I'm a Raider now and it's fun to wear.
But yeah, I mean, identity is really important and I
do think you need to play to the identity of
your brand, and the Raiders have a brand and and
that's we want to get to. I mean, even you know,
El Davies used to say it's us versus them, it's
(32:33):
us verus everybody, and it's it's a cliche to say that,
but certainly our football team this year we have to
take that on. But you know it's going to be
an aggressive, physical mentality and that's the way and you
just can't say it. You got to show it and
you got to have access to it. And our training
camp has been tough for me. We went Saturday night,
we went live live with everybody with the ones, twos,
(32:54):
and threes. It was probably the most live work that
I've been around maybe my career. But we handled the
right way. But you know, we're trying to develop the
mindset and develop an identity on both sides of the
ball of how we're going to play. And but yeah,
we want to play like the Raiders of old. Now
the game's changed them, we know that. But look, they
had a lot of speed on offense and on defense.
(33:15):
They played with a lot of physicality and intimidation and
as we'd like to get to and play the right away.
So that's the goal. We have some work to do.
It's certainly fun trying to get there.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Ship the conversation here Tom no longer talking Sea Kings football,
but Washington University Bears football is young. Thomas is making
his way to the college level. What can you share
with us about his trip to Saint Louis and what
kind of football we're looking forward to him playing out there?
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Cool, I'm just looking forward to get out there and
win a job. You know, it's you're not in high
school anymore and there's a lot of good players around.
So he leaves pretty soon to get out for their
their training camp, and this is a great time for
the Telesco family. We've got a high school game Friday
night because we have one more sun at cdm is Inn.
We'll have some college football Saturday afternoons, and then we
got pro football on Sundays with the Raiders. So, uh,
(34:07):
my wife has a lot of work and travel to
do to try and catch these games. I don't know
how it's gonna do it. I don't know how I'm
gonna do it either, but but yeah, this is just
a great time, great time to be around football, and
I've been so lucky. I'm I'm the only one in
our organization that's going to see their family at training camp,
but not during the season. My family will be staying
back here so much as I can finish high school.
(34:28):
But yeah, just a great time to be around football
right now.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Take a little sniff of Vegas, though, don't they? Tom,
I mean to get around?
Speaker 8 (34:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:38):

like when they you know, the the yeah, the burner,
like the Twitter memes of you you got.
Speaker 8 (34:55):

that far down the strip yet.
Speaker 1 (34:58):

in the house, right, I mean they still got the
house in Coronado.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
We burned it in a terrible plastic fire.
Speaker 4 (36:25):

Secret text does.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
A fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
This is easy for Vic to say when he hasn't
gone to a restaurant in four years, for shame, for shame. Uh.
That might have been one of Vic's most unpopular takes
of all time.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, nobody, very I should say that's not true. Very
very few people have patience for the celebrity that feels
as though they've been wronged when they walk into a
restaurant and are told there is not a table available
for them.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Get out from under my bed, you stink in red.
Long live the Czarina and Rasputant. Matt has been sowing
the various seeds about me in recent days, calling me
a communist although I'm registered as an independent. Matt has
been calling me a communist for days and days, and
(38:04):
it's starting to leak into the textiles and I'm starting
to feel threats. I'm like Klay Travis, don't solicit the
a's for victories over the capitalist Dodger, not one last night,
the communist days over the capitalist Dodgers. Googen'earts a team
that plays in a sewer versus Venture Capital's number one
squad on the summer classic market. Hey p loving Kate's's
(38:28):
outrage about Serena. But if it was Morgan Wallen or
jelly Roll or Chattahoochie meant himself, Alan Jackson, no problem,
here's your table. So Red State take that ish to
Russia with Vic and sell bootleg perfume.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Tim Team Tim has left the room. Well know he
is running back here he is to say his piece.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
I'm sorry I did to hear you guys.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Would Morgan, jelly Roll or Alan Jackson, Chatoochi and himself
around the chata who would be given the table? But
you know he's a big star right wait in Paris,
in Paris, Kate's Paris, California.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, Paris, California. He's sitting down at the Denny's for sure.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Take that one right there at the old Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Knock knock, who's there's there? Ray? Ray?
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Who? He sends vixen to these stars in Paris. What
if it was Flavor Flavor that went to that restaurant?
Speaker 1 (39:38):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Would he be fighting the cause for Flavor Flavor taking
a table too, absolutely or the just Serena because he
loves Serena Williams.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
He loves Flavor Flame. He celebrated flavor Flavor earlier. I
mean it's I think it's I think it's a fair question.
But Vick would if they took the Twitter to barrate
the Peninsula Paris. I think regardless of which celebrity it was,
Vic would take their side.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I think, yeah, but he's got a real boner for
Serena Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And the rolling garrel Yeah, And he wanted to say
that he did not Garrow's garrow.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
The charger board is on the cait and used board wall.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
You know what, I'll get on there, pick it up.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
There is Usually, you know, people don't hang on to
a lot of parafernilia. It really depends on who's who
in the world of Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Usually they either tell us that it's in a box
and storage, or that they gave it all the way
or like the wife sold it in a garage sale,
something along those lines. Seems like, especially these guys that
have seven eight teams, that's a lot of gear that
you feel like you can't wear it exactly right because
it's all they wear when they're employee.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
You saw what Jonathan Smith did at Corvallis. He left
all his stuff at the Goodwill and it was like
racks and racks and racks of beaver clothes. Uh. This here,
says Pete to Leasco is all raided out what they plays.
(41:16):
You're not excited about that, Matt, you don't worry. I
loved hearing from Tom. I mean, I don't know. I forgot.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I knew Thomas went to Washington. I was excited to
share that, but I forgot that. I think it's Nicholas's
is still at cd M.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, there's still You try to divorce them from my
sea Kings, Matt. They're still all the way terrible.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
When I saw Tom at practiced last Friday, he was
so excited to come on the show. Yeah, he wanted
to do no Tuesdays with Tom.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
He said, I had no idea Kate's was raiders. He's like, yeah, okay, man,
you hear them in the in the p room when
you're at the stadium.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
I close your eyes, Tom, take a pee right there?
Speaker 1 (41:54):
What do you think that is what they call? And
it is interesting in uh at Allegiant, I've been there
and they call it the p M and it's not
called the restroom. This comes from the nine to nine.
Another suspension incoming for Vic the brick in the Annals
of misguided ball washing. Yeah, I think I think that's fair.
I mean, I don't want to suspend him, but I
(42:18):
was very disappointed with that take. And then he tried
to bring the He tried to bring the taverna.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Into it, and you would make accommodations.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
No, my father threw a man like a javelin just
for trying to walk to his table.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
I want to take a vote. Go around the room,
take a vote on VIC suspension. Yeah, yeah, you start
kates the guilty. You want to suspend Vic suspension one day?
One day, suspension tomorrow tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (42:45):
Uh, Ronnie, I'm with Tim one day only because Vic
seemingly hasn't learned his lesson.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Because he called it racist on the other show.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
But that's the other show. Yeah, he knew better than here, Yes,
and so I appreciate that, which is why I say
no suspension.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Oh now it's down to me.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Now it's down to up.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
