Speaker 1 (01:26):
Longtime bff of the Petros and Money Show on AMPHI
seventy LA Sports, it is Don McClain co hosting today
until six o'clock. Welcome Don, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'm great, Pete, thanks for having me again in you
being of not arguably of the best introductions of any
guests in radio today. Some say that, some say that
I would say that, but I have an announcement. Okay, wait,
you have a real announcement, a real announcement as it
pertains to that, and it's interesting that you didn't say
(02:02):
it today.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Should I do that? Sure?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Because she usually included in the intro when I come
on the show, myself and Brooke McLain have reluctantly but
necessarily hand it off. The Canoe Valley Basketball Club, No,
(02:30):
it was time for us to step aside, have a
new leadership team.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, you don't have kids in.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
And we don't have kids in it anymore. It's you
feel like we're kind of moving into a new phase
of our lives. Congratulations is done.

If your kids dressed up and try to get out
there in the Canoe Valley Basketball League, they look like
the cable guy. You know, it's not that gome too
hard with the kids. Congratulations done.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, it was time and we both feel good about it.
She was doing the majority of the work. I had
kind of stepped aside for the last year and a half.
Or so, and we had a.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Lot of tears in the crowd, a lot of tiers
like the DNC when Biden was speaking, a lot of teers.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
We had, we had it was time for a younger
jolt of enthusiasm. There's coaches in place now that are
ready to take it over and they're going to do
a good.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Job, Cedric Sobalo. So it took, but you know, it
was a good run.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And we started it because for our kids, obviously selfishly,
but it became more than that. And I feel like
we put a lot into it, a lot of time,
a lot of effort, but we feel like it it did.
It did a lot of good for the community.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Absolutely it did. Now do you think that you know,
like Jerry West as the logo of the NBA, like
they're going to use you to do a like shooting
as an homage to the the founder of the Canejo
Valley Basketball League, like a silhouette of you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, it's interesting, bull because on the website, uh, I'm
the managing director, it was the managing director, and there
has been conversation on whether I should stay on the
website as a founder. Fag your head, just like the
Queen of it gone like the ghost. No, no, you
don't want to be gone like the ghost like the ghost.

So it's great to have Dawn here. Should we do
the Frogman stuff now, Kates, Yeah, let's do that. Okay.

brine of the sea on our tongues, where the Petrosen
Money photoshop bandit reminds us all that Matt lives by

Speaker 8 (07:34):
Actually best records Doyers that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Plays it every Friday. He'll be playing it tonight at
Dodger Stadium. I have a great relationship with Deeta rule
and Dee rule. I gotta say not every I say
I say, I say not everything that the Dodgers do,
especially in today's day and age, in town anywhere. And
don you know this, well, you to games all over
the country all the time. The game production right, Like
(08:05):
you go to a RAMS game and it's almost like
they should pay you. It's so offensive, it's so loud,
it's so it's terrible. And the Chargers Southern California franchise,
they get a little bit better, They do a better job.
Just get some Mariachi s dudent Ain't that hard. And
I want to give Lon Rosan and the Dodgers credit.
They put a lot of power in Dieta rules hands.
(08:27):
They give him the keys and man, he does not
disappoint He makes that a wonderful atmosphere. No, he does
every night at Dodger Stadium. So we appreciate Deeta rule.
Now we also appreciate the people. Do we have some
kind of music to commemorate yesterday's show. Oh, by the way,
Ronnie's on vacation. Ronnie had a meltdown yesterday and he
left town.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I don't know. You know, we had a big crazy
party yesterday. Matt's out today with the Chargers. And look,
we do the Summer Tour events and we've done them,
what is it eleven years? Ten eleven years, and before that.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
We can do like longer than that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's been a We did events before that, but they
didn't have an official thing and all that. And as
the Summer Tour has evolved quote unquote what we do,
it's become more and more corporate, more and more controlled
by people at the station, more and more involved with money,
(09:34):
less and less grab ass and in front of the
burned out Elks Club in Sampedro kind of stuff. That
being said, having done it for eleven years and having
been to the Van's location to do it, I think
this was the fourth time we'd been there. I don't
know what it was. It was a Thursday, It's not
(09:55):
like anything, but it was the biggest remote I think
that we've ever done, the most people and I don't
really have a gauge on that, and the craziest vibe,
Like there's a lot of excitement and people loved being there.
Like other shows, we ran out of beer, but unlike
(10:19):
other shows, when we ran out of beer, we hit
the gas and started serving vodka straight whoa, whoa, and
only one person was removed. Firemen carried out drunk only one,
which is great. I mean that's usually actually pretty good
ratio for us for however many people they're saying were
(10:39):
there a thousand or something, But it was. The band
Fast Times is the coolest band, and they do such
a great job. There's such a great everything everything all
they want full depeche Mode, G and R. Like, you
can't imagine how versatile the band is and how much
fun they are and how little they take themselves seriously
(11:02):
and do a great job. I mean, it was absolutely glorious.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Have them come play for your fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I am not throwing a party. I help my I
hate my Yeah, why would I have a band that
plays at my work, play at my face. I'm not
even having a fifty I'm forty seven. I'm not gonna make.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It three years, dude, you'll come around.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Not gonna make it, Uh Vic? I know watched the
show on YouTube? Did you, Vic? Did you watch the
show on YouTube?
Speaker 9 (11:32):

Speaker 10 (11:34):
I watched it on YouTube for my angle. It was
the greatest of all time. I texted Tim earlier. I
said it was the goat, not just because a number
of people, but the the electricity in the crowd, Fast times,
sensational as always. Remember they're at the Whiskey of Go
(11:56):

years at the Canejo Valley Basketball.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Appreciate, appreciate that Vic the best player ever out of
the Canejo Valley Basketball League. A lot of people don't

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I don't know if I ever told you this peak.
You know who is the most accomplished athlete ever out
of the Canao Valley Basketball Club. Drake London.

Genie Buss is sensational.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
We had an artist do a big giant the artist
that's doing like the big old O Tawny mural and
a little Tokyo and the big old all these murals
all over LA. Like he's the big sports artist going
right now, and he's he's tight with Steve van Dorin.
Oh really, And he was there and he did like
a twenty minute I said caricature, but he said it's
(13:37):
not a caricature. So I didn't know. A portrait a
portrait of Don Martin. Oh really yes? And then When
Genie Buss arrived, Don Martin took her by the hand
and took her right over and was like, look at
this portrait of me.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Is that up over the fireplace at the Martin house?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
No, dude, did he take it with him? I didn't
see what happened the portrait. I never got here. Oh here,
here's you. Take a look at that. Can we tweet
that out Kate's gain the Petrosen money account. That Don
Martin for sure above the fireplace right now? It's pretty good,
right full lips. I mean, look at dawn. The portrait's
(14:16):
very nice. But I don't know if he took it
with him or what happened. I know Don celebrated a
birthday this week, so really what a beautiful present. Yeah,
and Jeanie was just marveling at it. You would have
thought she was looking at the Mona Lisa or something
like that. It was. It was really gorgeous. So we
had did that jump out to you, vic or what? Oh?
Speaker 10 (14:33):
Absolutely that was? That was a sensational Well it took
what twenty twenty five minutes for the portrait of Don Matkin.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I got to be honest, I have very little perspective
on what was going on at all? And the remote
and because every time I had to pee, and every
time I went to go, well, one time I went
around the back to vape, but then the other times
I went to pee and I couldn't get to the bathroom.
I'd got like ten yards and took a bunch of
selfies and then had to go back. And that happened
(15:00):
like five or six times. So I never got to
the back to see where all the people were drinking
the vodka and all that stuff. Because we were right
up front doing the show. A lot of luminary showed up.
Really yeah, Christian Hussoy, the skater, Alicia del Valler showed up.
Who else showed up? Kate's who's in there talking to you?
Distracting things?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Nobody.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
I'm just trying to get things settled there? What's up?
Who was aware settled?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Why? What are you doing there?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
What's happening?
Speaker 8 (15:25):
Everybody was there yesterday? Was Christian Yeah, Christian sy was there.
Steve van Dorn, the opponent, our new boss, the opponent
was there, the boss.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, I met the CEO of Vans is like a
French Canadian guy. Oh it's Blackmore.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
The CEO of Vans is a French guy.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, Michelle.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They were like, we'd like you to meet Michelle, okay,
and I was like, I thought it was Steve van
Doid but you know they have a big I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Still a little confused. So they don't have a bar
there at the Vans we set up. We gave away
do we do we sell beer? Do we give it away?
Speaker 8 (15:55):
I think it was given away.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
We sold. We gave away brewery acts, and we gave
away blue ice. Volume ran out until we ran out. Oh,
we gave away Eto n zo ocha green tea. I
think we ran out of those until we ran out.
Doctor Pepper, zero sugars were there. We gave away everything
we could until we ran out.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Hey don there was hot dogs on a grill that
mister van Dorn was cooking himself. There was a taco
company there making street tacos and ice cream like the
Balbola bars, and they dip him in chocolate and you
can put kind of sprinkles overview.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
And I'm coming next year, and that's it.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
It's all free. It's all for the people. You don't
pay anything.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'm coming next year.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It was actually a pretty cool event where it's in
the vans, you know, the Van's headquarters, right there off
the four oh five with the top of it as
a checkerboard bill. Yeah, you can't miss it, right there
off the harbor. And I just I cannot believe. I
hate to try to be so sincere on the air
because we do such a grab assy show, but you're
an ale and I am a terrible person, but I
(16:51):
really it's hard to it's hard to reconcile the generosity
of Steve Van Dorn toward our station and our show
and why he would make us custom made shoes, open
up the headquarters, have this big celebration for our listeners
and all that just crazy, really grateful that it happens.
(17:12):
And I'm glad we're not going to go out and
do another event for some weeks, maybe a month or
so hopefully, because I don't know how we can top
that for a while. That was pretty spectacular. And thank
you to all of our sponsors, everybody involved, and even
Brian Blackmore for showing up, and black Moore showed up
black A lot of these people showed up, a lot
(17:34):
of station types showed up, a lot of big wigs,
a lot of muckety MUCKs.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
I had three different people buzz.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
There was an incredible buzz to the event and its fulfilled.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Like being cut off by you right there, Victim had faith.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
It's all right. I had three different people who work
in the buildings that are you consider management, who have
not been to a summer tour since last year?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Did they do what they did the last couple of
years and offer us money? And then that guy gets
never got.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
To that point, but all three of them were like, man,
you guys put on a show. This is pretty impressive.
It's like, hey, thanks for coming out of the building. Buco.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You guys are all going to get a bump and pay.
I can feel it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, I don't think so. That's the thing. It's like, well,
what do you guys get out of bench pressing all
those people? Well, Don sends a text and says, great job.
No one did a portrait of me. What about me?
I'm working, I'm more than menudo. You know what I'm saying, Vic.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
You're telling me it was an extraordinary event and the
prize is listen. I don't want to belabor the cornucopia
that was runneth Over at.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Least went above and beyond. We threw every piece of
spaghetti at the wall. We could thank you everybody who
showed up. The guy, Rusty Valdevilla who won eleven thousand
dollars in the Toyota cash giveaway, and we're making it
easy to keep winning. Log on right now to MFI
seventy LA sports dot com slash contest for a chance

by your Southern California Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
We make it easy. Why eleven thousand?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Because we did eleven years of the summer tour, so
last year we gave away ten.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
There was an answer to that, because why wouldn't it
just be test.
Speaker 1 (19:20):

Speaker 1 (19:56):

Speaker 8 (20:00):

What do you mean, easy lover, We say we're coming
out to the eight oh five bang, one hundred and
fifty white people without even lifting a finger. We'll be

FI seventy LA Sports. Thank you, Vick Yeah, frog Man Friday.
(20:51):
On the Petrosen Money Show, Don McClain is here.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Really good opening segment, Pete, nice job.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Thank you. It's hard to control. Thank everybody. Get the
Canao Valley Basketball Club announcement in which I was not
exc introduced Dawn control vics echo. Thank everybody for the
great event yesterday. And we had Genie Buss on and
of course it is the cycle of the petros and
(21:20):
Money Show that every summer Genie buss shows up at
one of our events. And for about I would say
maybe about a six show period. There is a cooling
of anger toward the Lakers because of her.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Cooling of anger from you.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Well, just less attacking because of the well, we're gratified
that she showed up, and we're happy and we're grateful.
So you feel like, oh, you know, I don't want
to beat up on Genie too much, you know, And
she's there, she's not there to answer basketball questions. If
(21:57):
you ask her a basketball question, she says she's not
comfortable answering it. She's very sweet to show up. Some
people want us to put on our tiger claws and
just be like, well do you look broddy James, you know,
and do all that stuff. But that's not what we're
going to do in that situation. But she kind of
(22:18):
leads to all of it. Anyway. You ask her a
general question and she says, they're excited about JJ Reddick.
She wants you to have time, if you're JJ Reddick,
to get this figured out and all the different people
on the staff, and she wants people to be patient
with the situation. Am I characterizing this well? But if
(22:40):
Genie Bush shows up and is dancing to Billie Idol
covers and then sits down. It's not going to be
quote unquote a hard hitting interview. I'm sorry, I just can't.
I can't do it. I see her as a baby
seal sitting there, and I'm not going to start beating
her with a bat. Yeah and exactly right, read room man.
(23:01):
But anyway, here's some of the stuff that she said.
Some of the stuff she said did make news. He
doesn't do a lot of interviews, and we're always grateful
when she comes out, but we're not going to be like, hey, Genie,
what do you say to all the people that hate
Rob polinkoln Is stupid ass hair. You know, you just can't.
It's just not gonna be that way.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Here she is on selling the team. Now, this is
something that people want them to do because they're a
family ownership group, and some people want them to do this.
I would say, and the people that own teams nowadays
are more like hedge funds or equity groups. What would
you say the Gugenheim is is that an equity group?
The people that own the Dodgers, And now they turn
(23:42):
around and sponsor this MLB Baseball trip to Tokyo, brought
to you by Gougenheim Dodgers going out to Japan. So
all of that links in together. You're not going to
have the Lakers live in Shanghai sponsored by the Bus family,
you know what I'm saying. So, and the Celtics are
being sold here she is talking about the team being sold.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Think that they're just people that are always looking to
challenge themselves and something else. Al So, certainly, you know,
Wick has had his success as the governor of the
Celtics winning championships, and you know it's maybe he wants
to do something different. And same with Mark. You know,
(24:20):
he's done a lot for lowering the cost of prescription
drugs for people, and you know, and I expect him
to continue to do more and more now that he
doesn't have to worry about the.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Data life of public service, right exactly. You know who
took over for Mark Cuban. This is a guy with
a big ass hat. Looks just like Jr. From Dallas,
big ass hat. Really, no, no, would you sell the
team if you were the Bus family. I mean, I
know it was the dad's dream to have him hang
on to it, but these things are worth six billion dollars. Now.
(24:56):
If somebody told doctor Buss that the Celtics without the arena,
We're gonna sell for six billion dollars. He might tell
the family just to go ahead and sell.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
What's interesting is the NBA just got that new TV deal.
I think it's like, what's seventy five billion or something,
and so the valuations of franchises isn't going to be
higher anytime soon because everyone was waiting on that number.
But I think there's a there's a there's an offshoot
to it now, which you just mentioned, is private equity
(25:26):
firms hedge funds coming in with just gobs of money
to get a stake in teams. So what does that
do for you operationally, you know, in terms of how
you operate with the influx of even more cash on
top of what you're getting from the NBA's TV deal.
But I do think what she said is interesting. It's
like these people who own teams are people too, Like,
(25:47):
just because you own a professional sports team doesn't mean
that if you turn a certain age, you're like, you
know what, I'm gonna go do something different. I'm gonna
cash this thing out and I'm gonna go do something different.
So I think there's that element of it too. I mean,
I don't think, you know, the Bus family. That's that's
on them and their decision whether they want to go
(26:07):
do something else. But I just think there's so much
money involved now, it's got to be tempting to sit
there and say, and you just said it, Pee like,
so you're telling me I could agree to sell this
team and I'm gonna put billions in my pocket. To me,
that would be tempting, right.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And I don't have to check Twitter every day about
what a looser I am exactly and how much I'm
messing this situation up. Yeah, here she is talking about
and this is something we talked about with Kobe and
people before that too. Is Lebron James, regardless of whatever
anybody thinks, is a bargain at the money that they
have to pay him, considering how much he brings in
(26:49):
to the Lakers, and somebody like gd Buss would know.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
And yes, he is, you know, our player, but he's
still a bargain to me. You know, I think he's
he's he's absolutely amazing. He's in the conversation. What do
you mean, you know, because we're a salary cap league,
you know, there's only so much that we can read
and you know, he brings us, you know, the notoriety
(27:15):
in the league, but also internationally, he's he's a huge star,
and you know he's he's a great leader for this
team and what he does for our young players, what
he does for the community. You know, we're just we're
proud to be partners with them. And and you know,
it's the same as you know, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant.
(27:38):
We're you know, because we're in a cat league. You know,
they probably should have been paid you know, twice is
what they get. But you know, we we can only
pay him the maximum.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Dark that's right, And she's exactly right about that. Whether
you like Lebron or don't, that's the truth. And because
it's a salary cap leading and there's rules with that cap.
It would be interesting, though, and I've thought about this before,
if there was some way to rank, like if the
NBA had its own special advisory board to rank NBA
(28:13):
players and then pay him accordingly. What that would look
like when you factor everything in with the TV money
and the international stuff a factor in everything, what would
Lebron James be worth? Like, what would you pay him
if you were going to get if he were to
get maximum value for everything he does, what would his
(28:34):
salary be? It would it'd be a lot more than
fifty million, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It makes it pretty hard though for Laker fans and
people that want to see the next chapter of Laker basketball.
I guess it was the same when Kobe was at
the end of his career. Actually strikingly similar, but nobody
really wants to talk about it. How polarizing of a
situation that was. It just doesn't make sense. It seems
to the Lakers financially to do anything else but give
this guy exactly what he wants forever, well till he's done.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
It depends on how long he's going to play. And
that's going to be really interesting because I think at
the Olympics he showed that and last year he's still
playing at a high level. He really is. It's unfortunate
that they haven't surrounded him with enough for the Lakers
to really win because it pee and I've said this,
and I know that that that you guys like to
get after him, and but it is it is mind
(29:24):
blowingly impossible that he's playing the way he's playing at
this age. It really is, like it is Actually, I
played in that league, and it's different. It was a
different time when I played, but it's still playing eighty
two games a year, playoffs and all this stuff, Like
it's unbelievable the level he's still playing at. It really is,
(29:47):
how much longer do you think he can do it?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I mean, he's forty years old usually Pete.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Look, he doesn't have the pop in his legs that
he had five years ago or seven years ago, but
there's still enough pop. And that's where he sees when
when you see players start to go downhill, it's because
their breaks go out, meaning they don't stop as well
as they used to. They don't explode as well as
they used to, So when the breaks start to deteriorate,
that's when you see it going downhill. But you don't
(30:13):
really see that as much with him. He's not as
explosive as he was, but he's still as effective. Like
there's really hasn't been a huge drop off in his game.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We also asked Genie or Genie explained this was the
only time she got booed a couple times, and I
tried to say, like Shart tried to, you know, shame
people off air for shame, but uh, here she is
on Bronnie James.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
We have to let the kid have an opportunity to
play and prove that he should be in a Laker
uniform and everything that we've seen from him and about
him and his work ethic and you know, just some
of the things that he's had to overcome being the
(31:03):
son of a big star. You know, he's he's very
he works hard, he's dedicated, he really wants to do this,
and you know, if we can have a roster of
players with that same mentality, then I think there's this
guy's limit.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I wish they could all be like Bronnie. I wish
they all could be California girls.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Well, the only thing I would say to that is
there's a lot of guys that work hard and have
a great work ethic that want to play in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah, hey, come on about Broni's.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
There's been obviously so much talk about him and whether
or not, you know, he should have been selected in
the second round or not.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
That that's the defense is pretty wild. Well, he works hard.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
What's done is done, though, and we're going to see it,
and I think he's got a window here. It'll be
interesting to see how how big that window is one, two,
three years to prove that he should have been selected
and that he is an NBA player. He's got a
long way to go. But if he in fact does
have a great work epic and I heard that last
year when he was at USC, then he's got a chance.
(32:08):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Well. It was great to catch up with Jeanie Buss
and always very interesting. You don't need us to tell
you don a man who knows the NBA better than
any of us, all the way up and all the
way down from many different perspectives, that it's really not
that easy of a thing to get an NBA owner
to answer any questions. No, they don't have to, let
(32:30):
alone drive an hour and a half, show up at
your own.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
On her for showing up. She shows up every year.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I remember last year she was all the way out
on Thousand Oaks. She comes to all these events and
talks to people, reaches out to people. Is part of
the great sports talk community, great sports talk. She doesn't
have to do it. So we're very grateful that she does.
A long time ago because I've always been really mean
(32:56):
on the no you yeah, not bad time ago A
Genie Buss came to one of my old radio show
events when I was working at the Korean stage and
it was like back when poker was really popular, and
it was at Marango, which is a sponsor for US now,
and we had like a tournament. Deacon Jones was there,
(33:17):
people like that. And she sat next to me and
she was so nice and I said, got you know,
this was twenty years ago, and I said, wow, you know,
I say some pretty mean things on the radio. It's
kind of humbling that you're so personable and nice and
not resentful in person. I said, it's humbling. And she said, well,
you ever see those cartoons where the coyote and the
(33:37):
dog go and they clock in and they chase each
other around all day and then they sit and have lunch.
And I said, yeah, I know those cartoons and it's
something that's stuck with me for a long time. And
she still comes and does the show and pretty nice
of her to do. So we're very thankful. You could
check out that interview on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone.
(33:58):
We'll revisit the week in Great Sport or talk and
talk to Don about some of the things that have
been going on next. It's cracking everybody, welcome back. It's
Petroson Money on AM five seventy LA Sports. Ronnie Fossio's off.
We got Katie in doing a great job. Katie, she's
a lovely lady and my apologies to her. Great sports talk.
(34:22):
Don McClain is here. Matt's going to be doing the
Charger game against the Cowboys tomorrow on ninety eight seven
on the radio. No One's gonna play. We got showe
Aotani and the Dodgers tonight taking on the Rays. And
David Vassa is he coming on today? Yeah? Yeah, David
(34:44):
Vassay is going to join us in the four o'clock
hour to uh, when is Dave Roberts going to address
the media?
Speaker 8 (34:52):
Dias scheduled to talk I think at four five to
the media.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
So we'll talk to Vassay hopefully after that.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Because what what's going on is the Dodgers dfaid Jason
Hayward yesterday, surprising move, very popular player with a thirty
inch waist, just hit a pinch hit home run the
other night. And they're keeping Chris Taylor, who has not
performed for quite some time but has a pretty big
(35:19):
paycheck people like Matt Smith livid. We'll see what David
Vasse has to say after he checks the temperature of
the Dodger Clubhouse and or gets it from Dave Roberts.
But right now, as dam k Twitter mount down Pitcher,
I guess he delivered a really sick Burns with no
(35:39):
concerns sense the lessons learned in great sports talk. Don yep,
so you can know what happened this week because I
know you're coming back next week, all right, lesson one, uh, Lexion,
lesson one. Justin Turner came on on Monday because he
(36:00):
came back to town with the Mariners. He's got a kid,
got a kid now and all that I heard that
here he is talking about his beard.
Speaker 12 (36:06):
I am beard for life. I will say that there
are some moments where I'm like, man, this thing is annoying,
but nothing compares to the annoyance of having to put
a straight razor on my face and shave it.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
So that's the truth.
Speaker 12 (36:20):
Uh is as bad as it'll ever get and never
be to that point where I want to I want
to get out the old straight razor and cut it
all off.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So I totally thank god the Yankees never picked you up.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
My fingers were crossed, my fingers are deadline, like.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Please, the Yankees would have made him shave. Yeah, so
you don't mind shaving, I don't. You're always cleanly shaven, though,
don I don't mind it. You don't look you never
liked straggly screw.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Don't know how long ago it was, but I'm like,
you know what, I'm gonna grow a beard, and I
got I don't know, I think a week into it,
and I was like, the hell with this?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You look like Harrison Ford at the beginning of The
Fugitive when he had.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
There's a lot of there's a lot of gray in
this beard now too. You still look intimidating, unfortunately, do
I Oh yeah, good?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Lesson to lex. You missed the Bachelorette almost this whole.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Season, Thank god. I mean, man, that's a bout.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
That's why I brought it around today so you didn't
have to miss out on all of it. We got
a little Asian chick this year, compact Asian girl.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Compact meaning like five feet not not tall, okay, but
bulbousy eyes very far apart, almost like a hammerhead, and
uh her name is Jen Tran and we're getting down
to the end of it, and.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I just thought you'd really enjoy this.
Speaker 9 (37:48):
Don.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
She's on a one on one date at a hometown date.
We're at Houston, one of your favorite places. Where's she from?
I think she's from Massachusetts or something, and she, uh,
she's with this guy, Devin, and he's introducing her to
his run club, a bunch of people to get together.
They all wear the same shirts and they run.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
All right, guys, so we're gonna start a run.
Speaker 12 (38:12):
We're gonna go around this way and to stay on
the concrete path and just follow me, and so we'll
go do.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
It one mall loop around.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Let's go.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
I'm so excited running is what's the sweetest thing he's
done for you so far?
Speaker 8 (38:23):
I think we all would want to know that.
Speaker 11 (38:25):
Just honestly, he's been really good at like just understanding me,
and like when I'm having a bad day, he's just
there for me.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Isn't real quick. That's what I like about Don mcclan
When he comes in and he knows I'm having a
bad day, He's very understanding. I am, yeah, all very
go ahead, and I had to find what's your favorite training.
Speaker 12 (38:47):
She accepts me for who I am one hundred percent,
where in a lot of my aspects of my life,
I've had to like sacrifice certain parts of myself to
like make things work and explication.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
I just accept you for who you are.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yes, she loves me. I can believe people continue to
watch that. I don't know if they do or not.
I'm stuck. I'm like Sisyphus rolling the rock up the hill.
But she had yoga pants on though in the run club.
(39:19):
I'm gonna say a I like Jen Tran's look. Don't
act like you don't either, Kates, she has some sexual fire.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
Not into it whatever, less than three lexi tres.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Don't sound so excited. Don paid to be excited.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
To do a different cadence than you, guys. I don't
know any foreign languages. Sorry, I did a film noir corner.
Ask me if you've ever seen the movie, or let
me ask you if you've ever seen the movie Johnny
skid Marks. No Johnny skid Marks was a movie that
came out in like the nineties, and it was It's
(40:00):
pretty sweet ninety eight. It had the guy who's the
king of real estate in American beauty. Oh yeah, it
had Jack Black, Francis McDormand like a.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Lot of really good actors. Lift gal. But everybody thought
it was about skid marks on your underwear. No, what
saw It's a terrible name. That's what I would have thought, right,
Johnny skid Marks. So we reviewed it in the film
Noir Corner, and here's Jack Black and Johnny skid Marks
talking to Johnny skid Mark. Johnny, Sorry, sorry about the
table man.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
She came in when I was you looking, you know,
Otherwise I'd have saved it for you, because.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
You know, you're a regular, and I mean we're friends.
Speaker 10 (40:38):
You know, we're friends.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
It's Okage're right, they're pretty much all alike anyway.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Yeah, two and an ass huh all right.
Speaker 7 (40:49):
I'm at the tables.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Oh yeah, sure, yeah, they're all the same man, Jesus.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
More customers when it rained?
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Do you mind cloud and carry yourself? Johnny skid Marks. Yeah,
you to watch it tonight. It's free on twob is it,
Johnny skid Marks?
Speaker 3 (41:11):
How long is it our forty?
Speaker 9 (41:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Maybe lesson for Lexion Quatro, lesson for now.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
You're a proud Bruin. You reminded me that I'm getting
paid for that.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
No, No, that's all right. Could you act like you're
having fun? Don earn the check. Deshaun Foster is a
conundrum because he really resents the media side of being
a head coach, and it feels like that's a pretty
big side of the job in twenty twenty four. If
(41:51):
you want to keep your job, it's a big job.
But here's Deshaun Foster. What's he explaining here? How he
might not talk, but all the talk can be not
that important.
Speaker 9 (42:01):
There's two teams that were unranked that didn't wait.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Yes, USC and u c LA both unranked at the
end of the year last year, and they're both in LA,
and they're both in LA and US he is ranked
now going into the season, but U c l A
is not.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
There's two teams that were unranked at the end of
the year last year, right the local to Tims, both
of US both unranked at the end of the year,
and then the year starts at one's ranked and ones not.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
That is what it is, you know.
Speaker 9 (42:28):
But we don't come out and play ball. We don't
need anything handed to us. You got to play ball.
That's why talking isn't really my forte because you can
talk all you want, then get out here and lay
an egg. And now, well, or you.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Can once you think about that, don you remember that?
Speaker 9 (42:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Because you're a guy who used to talk a lot,
a lot. Yeah, you talk and you go out there
and lay an egg.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
What now? Now?
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Well, typically you stop talking if you're laying an egg,
but you're going to keep talking if you're whooping someone's out.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Well, let's see what else is that.
Speaker 9 (43:03):
Not be a good talker and get out here and
get these boys play some ball. And that's what it's about.
So we don't need anything handed to us. I'm okay
with whatever anybody has and any public opinions of anybody,
because you just better hope that you didn't say something
I beat you, because you can don't be bad.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
You better hope.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Yeah, I'm not sure what to make.
Speaker 9 (43:27):
You say that again, you just better hope that you
didn't say something I beat you, because you can't be bad.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
If you say something and I beat you could be bad. Okay,
if you say so, head coaching UCLA Football.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
I just you better not say some past p that
you still watch this Battle Ratte show. It blows my mind.
You better not ever start watching it, because you know what,
it's gonna be bad. I'm gonna hold you accountable. I'd
have to up with the money to buy a new
TV if I started watching that, because mind would be broken.
(44:08):
It makes me mad, honestly.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Even the small curves of a bucks Amos.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
You've seen what she looks like. I'm sure she looks
she looks just fine, but just the whole dialogue and there,
I just I can't take it.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
You know what she likes to feel that I've learned
this year. She likes to feel seen. I feel seen
by him. He sees me, he knows he sees me.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
Well, she must not be that hot if this is
the first time she's been seen.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
No, it is seen emotionally seen. Word number saw him
coming up next. Thanks for listening, everybody,
