Yeah, Dave Wee as we are on the corner of
Edinger and Beach Boulevard. We'd love to see you. We'll
be here until five o'clock going into Thursday night football.
And I was walking in, uh simultaneously with Dave Weis
and Kent who looks wonderful in his tailored suit.

Kent.

I just hope he brought some BJ's gift cards with him. Uh,
and he did. All right, there we go giving away
some BJ's gift cards today. And as they were walking
in with.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
You can't kill our promotional power.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
When they were walking in with this, uh beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
They're right behind the Pete Nuons.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, right behind Pete Noon, who's on at three is
Petros and Money from three to six. But I noticed
a sign stuck in the ground. It said, got Pete Neon,
we got Dan Patrick six to nine, Colin Coward ninety nude,
Fred Rogan and Rodney not sure when they're on. It
just kind of moves. And then Pete Noon is on
at three. But as they were walking in with that sign,
there was a sign staked into the front, like one

(02:00):
of those election signs that you would put in your
front yard that size, that says medicare Seminar inside. And
so for all of those that are here for the
Medicare Seminar are apologies and be welcome.

writing a new interest, Embrace great sports talk, eat sports talk,

of the people here, come on down.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
We're right here on the four five and creat sports.
It's not hard, so we're separated.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I believe the Sarah partition Medicare seminar may be through
that glass that looks to be a pizza oven the
way that it is a chased I believe they are
in that patio area that is the Medicare seminar.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Pizza oven for people, Yes, exactly, that is what well.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I love the elderly, I do not I do not
do not support a proponent of cooking the elderly.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I believe that's where they are.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Okay, so they're having their seminar.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Do you think there's any chance that some of the
Medicare people will trickle out and become part of our show.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I think there's a couple of Medicare people that are leaving. Now.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Until then, pop off the bottle of Asti spumanti.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's right, until then, apparol sprints for everybody.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
We are going to have a couple guests today on
the show.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
We got your phone.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
No nobody's coming live. No local political guest today unless
you want to come down, if you're the mayor of
Huntington Beach or something and you want to come down
with your oil slick hair.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
My brother lost the school board race, so we would
have been able to have one member of the Ocean
View District school Board.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
But alas has he gone underground because he lost? Is
he devastated?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
He was going to have a big celebratory party after
and then I didn't hear anything about the celebratory party
by the time I arrived home from from work.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
So did he concede though, or did he sleep on
it and not show up to like one pm the
next day?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
You know, I believe he ran a competitive campaign, you know,
the top vote getter ran away with it and then
to win.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Nut slinging. I feel like there's a little bit of
mud slinging.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
I feel like a little bit of I heard out
of it of yellow journalism in there.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
After he lost. I heard he got in one of
his big boats and blew his over the house.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's exactly what he did. But he ran. He had
nearly ten thousand votes. Oh wow, that's you know, congratulations
to him for running a solid campaign. But outside of that,
I don't think we're going to get any local politicians here.
No politic politics, no politic politic today.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
But we do have some basketball conversation with three Things
Thursday and with our dear friend Don McClain, our bff.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Next hour, Don McClain three point thirty back into this
hour after practice, maybe meetings, not sure what else, but
we are.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Going to attempt to interview a pro football.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Player, Quinton Johnston, coming off the big first one hundred
yard game of his career against the Browns, a touchdown
sixty six yards in that one swe yard by yard?
What you see out there? I saw a blown coverage
in front of.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Me, face mask bobbling around.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
So Quinton will join us at the back end of
this hour and it's already started.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
What is this?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Who bought this? This can't be like it's responsible for this.
It's probably say that into his microphone. Please get at it.
The price from the Jamison Jamison well to the Catholics
maybe a little while. We'll be here till five Quentin Johnston,
Don McClain. Two guests within a forty five minute span

(07:29):
is what the schedule says. And prizes prizes as a
matter of fact, what are the prize? Well, we mentioned
that wee help us out here, dude, appreciate you being
in the back, but prizes, what do we have? What
do we got today?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Come on, you don't still working? What have we got?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
It's a tough tab, but we're still working, okay. Clippers
Chargers U c l A. We got tickets to each
of those Clippers Chargers U c l A. That is
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
There's also a Walter Payton uh placard.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, the prize.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Hooker that he wants us to give away to.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Do we have any Bears fan, any Chicago Bears fans
in the house. Yeah. See, I was like, I just
take it home. Well, yeah, but we got a Thursday
night football with the Bear.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
People still don't love running back, That's.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
True, they don't love I mean, any Jackson State fans.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Okay, so we have Clippers tickets.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
I take a nip of this right now.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Chargers tickets, Ucla tickets?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Is that basketball or football? Football?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Football?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
So I was just for tomorrow, okay, So for the
UCLA Iowa game tomorrow at the Rose Bowl. We have
those tickets, all right?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
All right, Matt, real quick, let's go just a real
quick bite of history in Huntington Beach. We've been here
many times in Huntington Beach, never this far from the sand.
Matt and I usually are a lot closer to the
water when we're here.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
I don't know what's going on, you know.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
I hope we don't end up beyond the freeway at
some point, and I certainly hope we don't end up
all the way down the ninety one East well that
which is very possible. Where those were the most passionate
Angel fans come.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
From most definitely.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
But we are here in beautiful Huntington Beach. We are
on Beach Boulevard, which we know was originally what what
was the thoroughfare Beach Boulevard dugout to do it was
a cattle route, cattle nose to butthole, all the way
down to the water where the rancho was. That's what

(09:24):
Beach Boulevard is and was a cattle route, and it
is still in many ways a cattle route. Replaced the
cows with mindless people in cars, and it's not changed
very much. Now, what about the sprawl. Living in the sprawl,

(09:47):
there was nothing. Now we have all this stuff. Dead
shopping malls rise like mountains. Beyond mountains, we have zombie malls.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I mean, it's looking pretty close to the Westminster Zombie Mall.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Everything is on street. Everything you could ever want is
on Beach Boulevard. But it all used to be brush,
foliage and cow dumb.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Anyway, the Westminster Mall regularly hosts the wildly insensitive sinking
Titanic inflatable slide. By the way, it just seems like,
you know, a little like hey, you know, the ships
sunk and hundreds of people died.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
But let's make it a slide that the kids can
go down. I gotta be honest, I do prefer they
feel like time's going by. I prefer the Hindenburg Fourth
of July avent Oh the humanity, Yes, where everybody burns
to death in the celebration.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
First of all, the first name of Huntington Beach. We
all know it's named after the rich guy in the
railroad and the oil. But the first name of Huntington
Beach when it was a Tongvian village was loop.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Pucking one more time, please, loop pucking. Yuh so clicking there,
kind of a little bit of a click, Like there's
a little clicking there.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's like a G and an N together.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Then it was.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Called a very benign name where like a horror movie
could happen, or like a coming of age movie.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Shell Beach.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh, okay, what are you doing great?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
What you do is microphone my soundback on this is
stayed freaking saboteur.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
God guy finishes his meal. And when I say finishes,
I mean every last leaf of Brussels sprout has gone
out of that dish. There's no trace, and there was
no fat and gristle. It is every last freaking nibble.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
After Shell Beach.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
They called Huntington Beach Gospel Swamp, yes, because it was
filled with fundamentalists Christians, and they would have revival meetings
that were in the Marshlands, which is now where Golden
West College is, which is a revival meeting of sorts,
you know, for the death of your high school grades.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Hey, it's very all right. I'm gonna get my associates
in two years, and then I only got to pay
two years for the bachelor's degree. Yeah, financially responsible, you
go to the Golden West.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
So it used to be lufpucking right. Then it was
Shell Beach, then it was Gospel Swamp, and here we
are in Huntington Beach, California. I think they.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Settled on the later. I feel like they settled on
the right one.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
There was midget car racing here from nineteen forty six
to nineteen fifty eight.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
You're supposed to call them little people.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
No midget car racing. Midget cars.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
I don't think they were real people cars racing. I
don't think little people got behind the wheel.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
What this fair, boy? Hey, you just got passing election.
You gotta watch your mouth.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So what did this used to be? Yes, a cattle route.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Something for you to tell somebody when you're driving on
Beach Boulevard, and you could say, instead of the exhaust
on that Hyundai, if this was one hundred and fifty
years ago, it'd be.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
The butthole of a cow.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
And you know what they say, does more damage to
the atmosphere those Kyle flatulens as opposed to the exhaust.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh do you.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Think the exhaust on Beach Boulevard is bad now? The
farting one hundred and fifty years ago stifled half the
half a northern Orange.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Count hole in the ozone. Get boils on your heat.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
That's why all the Real Housewives moved to the south.
It was a migration in that time. They ended up
down in the Newport Coast area. Well, thank you all
for being here and learning a little bit about your surroundings.
A big thank you to Jesse who's over there at
the bar with the smart guy haircut.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
He brought us these these Millican High School t shirts.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Oh wonderful.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Millican High is having a bit of a renaissance, Matt.
They have won the Moor League for the very first
time in there, I mean in at least sixty years
or something. Long Beach Poly usually just sure does the
jack Rabbit style on everybody and then finishes and then
everybody that's their style. But this year the Millican Rams

(13:54):
rammed it in their Colo beautiful and they're in the playoffs.
We got women so old soccer. Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Congratulations Millican.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah, and thank you Jesse for representing the Millican Rams.
As we always say, my very first high school football
game ever as a freshman was against the Millican at
Long Beach.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Millican, what they do to you? Don't ask what I
didn't come here?

Speaker 3 (14:20):
How about what I did you do?

Speaker 4 (14:21):
I didn't come here to protect Rambo from you. I
came here to protect.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
You, to rescue from you.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
I came here to rescue you from him.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
They had to rescue Millican from me.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Right, Okay, I announce my arrival.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
And my big donut neck roll. Thank you and thank
you all for being here. We're gonna have a great show.
God bless you. The Petrosen Money Show live at BJ's
Restaurant in brew House.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Come on down and see us.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
We'll be right back with three Things Thursday, a lot
of a bitterness early in the basketball season.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yes, considerable Bangle Ravens coming up at five o'clock.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
It is the one and only Petrosen Money Show live
from Beautiful Bjay's Restaurant in Bill brew House four oh five,
adjacent Beach Boulevard and Eddinger right off the freeway. Quentin
Johnson from TCU, and of course the Chargers is scheduled
to join us this hour. We're gonna talk to Don
McClain in the next hour about all the basketball movement.

(15:23):
We got tickets to give away. Matt just gave away
tickets to UCLA, Iowa. There still is a Medicare seminar
going on, and Matt, it seems that there's somebody up and.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Speaking just like I am.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh yeah, up and speaking competing speakers.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
I can see the competing speaker right there. Yeah, and
I have a little bit of avarice toward their events.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Well, he does have a nice polo tucked in a belt,
presenting himself very well at that Medicare for All seminar.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
He looks better than me and I'm here.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh, hold your tongue. He does not.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Stand in here with a look of avarice, not at all,
but we appreciate everybody being dressed for the crowd.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
That's a rah.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's right, Matt, walk the plank.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's right.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
It is time for the top story of the day.
Three things Thursday. We're gonna do right here one. Three things. Well,
oh wonderful, you got a beer.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
We got lebron James because they were playing Compacto on
Spectrum Sports nut on the TV here as we await
the beginning of Thursday Night football, which you will hear
right here. So we do three things Thursday. Number one,
cheers to Bronnie James. He has been sent to the
G League. I've heard about Bronnie James sent to the

(16:41):
G League. He will be part of the South Bay Lakers.
Everybody lost that right. I thought up the charade.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
I thought we were all we were all happy that
we all knew that this was gonna happen. I didn't
think they had to send him in that weird pod
from Running Man.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
They just shot him into the you know, he's in
the two.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Like the vacuum tube from the bank.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Oh yeah, I don't think that was very interesting.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Note, by the way, the first thing ever sent through
the first vacuum tubeop a live cat, true story, true story.
Second thing, the I amnorse that experience, Yes absolutely. I
don't know if it survived or not, but that's for
whatever reason. We start with the Lakers after Bronni They
were the first up last night after they as they

(17:25):
wrap up their five game road trip with their fourth loss.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
How did they do? So? They were one and four.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
One four, Yeah, the only win was against the one
win Raptors in Toronto. They come home after losing to
Cleveland by twenty four, Detroit by twelve, and last night
Memphis by seventeen. Routed in each of the three on average,
they are losing their games. They're four and four, their
four losses by fourteen and a half points. There are

(17:52):
four wins on average by six so tight wins, blowout
losses nobueno. But last night was a bit of a meltdown.
Well yes, for head coach JJ Reddick and all his
gel He.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Gotta say, I watched all eight minutes of the press conference.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Nice and I was like, Wow, this guy seems to
be getting a little volatile. Man. Wow, man freak out.
And it's early, man, I mean we're not even you know,
I mean it is right after Halloween.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
You start out three and zero and everyone's like, is
in this great? I mean, guys, we got it. We
got a new vibe around town.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
In NBA terms, the season is not even as barely
a fetus with no hands or feet to complete it.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
We saw that first crack in the viral video from
court side of him screaming and imploring his team to
shoot the Efen ball, and some suggested he was speaking
toward Lebron James because he had held the ball twice
in a sequence that ended with a shot clock violation.
Last night, however, he had nothing but praise for the guy.

(18:57):
Lebron was the only dude spared the Reddick wrath, and
as detailed here before you play the clipped tim somebody
we're familiar with Dan Wiki has a follow up question
after he praises Lebron. Yeah, and as we thought would
be the case with Reddick, it was met with a

(19:17):
a little bit of curtness.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Oh yeah, I think Lebron was fantastic tonight. I mean,
the biggest thing stood out. I mean, I had no
idea he hit thirty nine till I'm not looking at
the box scores during the game, but you know, he
played hard, you know, almost forty years old and played
the hardest on our team. Says a lot about him.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
I guess the natural follow up to that is, I mean,
what does that say about everyone else on a night
like tonight when you guys were shorthanded?

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Were you satisfied with the effort that you got from everyone?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Out of us? Are? Oh? Oh, wicky, none of us are.
He would put the microphone down to signal time for
the next question.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
JA I thought if did he put his microphone down
or was he scratching his leg?

Speaker 3 (20:04):
I thought he tried to play it off right. No,
he just kept putting his microphone down. After his short
curt answers, how do I.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Avoid my true nature of being an enormous duce?

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Exactly? He does not suffer fools, and many don't suffer
fools and don't have time for nonsense or blabberine or
dianberine or anymore speech. But Reddick has always done that
with an aura of a hoolery, with complete condescension, no
consideration that perhaps the question was worded just a little

(20:34):
bit wrong, or the person askings a.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Little bit nervous.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
But as you can hear, here, here, here, h a
r hre here here in the final moment before he
literally drops the mic and storms off.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah, it felt like he was, you know, he was
gathering his bearings, yes, and then he completely lost patience.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
His long demonstrated disposition put on hold for the last
six months starting to show up alongside the losses.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
JJ, you're talking a lot about two out of the three,
two or three guys getting them to put in the effort,
and talked a lot about wanting to play hard, and
Lebron being the guy that played hard.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
In tonight's game.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
How do you address that with the team. What's your
philosophy for approaching I just did boom boom.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
I just did it. Just dick through the media, you
idiot with your circuitous, long winded question. That's just regurgitating
things I already told you. I just did, and I'm done.
We got to get on this bird home from Memphis.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
See.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
And I'm not misinterpreted that. I thought that maybe he
was saying, like I just yelled at him already before
I came out of.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
And talked to you guys. Perhaps he did, or I
did it through the media Phil Jackson style.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Either way, bing bang boom, Both ways, drop them, my
storm off the stage. Check out my hair. It is
plas into play. So it couldn't possibly look terrible after
forty eight minutes of coaching basketball. Now, I can't say
for certain, but I have been around quite a few
coaches for a while now, and there's one thing that's
pretty easy to identify when it exists, and that is

(22:15):
the fixer, the know it all, the player, the coach
that thinks well. Person before me, they didn't know what
the hell they were doing. I know what I can
do with this. I don't know how they didn't win
with this or well, you know they had bad roster.
Just let's go get this guy and that guy. We'll
plug them into my system and you're going to see

(22:35):
the I'm smarter than everyone. Just watch what we're about
to do out there. And that's basically what JJ Reddick
laid out from the jump. He said, we need to
develop players. Last time I checked, the previous staff took
an undrafted Austin Reeves from the South Bay Lakers and
turned him into an All star. Prior to that, Frank

(22:58):
Vogel staff, Walton's staff each developed Kyle Kuzma as a
late first rounder into an All Star and Alex Caruso
into one of the best two way players and someone
that had been a desired trade target at each of
the last two trade deadlines. So it's not like the
previous coaches had any issues developing players that found their

(23:20):
way into their laps, either late in the first round,
second rounders, or through the G League. They've been developing players.
Put a pin in it.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
We might have to unless you could finish the first
thing another you sure, Matt to put a pin in it,
because finished it in the next segment. We were attacking
JJ Reddick, but we will put a pin in that.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
There's plenty more to attack FO. Time to talk to
Quintin Johnson.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
I love talking about this guy a few years back
when he was at TCU.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
We're doing their games.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Matt loves talking about him now as a Chargers wide receiver,
coming off a career day and over the Browns, getting
ready now for the Titans. Q Johnson had one hundred
and eighteen yards and a touchdown last.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Week in Cleveland, Ohio.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Online
live from the b Jason Huntington Beach right in the
middle of three Things Thursday is Quintin Johnson of the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
What's cracking, Q?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
How are you doing pretty good?

Speaker 8 (24:26):
How about yourself? Oh?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
We're doing right well. Uh, just give us a little
overview of what the year's been like. It feels like, uh,
you've really become very comfortable with this new group and
you're starting to really flourish out there with Justin Herbert.

Speaker 8 (24:40):
Oh, yes, sir, Well, you know last year, last year
wasn't just the complete you know, Desira season for myself.
I had I had, I had, you know, you know,
expectation and stuff. I don't think I just all the
way met. But at the same time, I kind of
turned that around to use that as a learning experience
going into the season. So, you know, just going into
the season, I had a lot of confidence that got
got ex to work with the guys over the summer,

(25:01):
and you know it's showing up on the field.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
How how different, Q, is it what they're asking you
to do this year versus last year?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
If at all?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Or is it just very similar and you're just you know,
got developed a little bit more of chemistry and a
little more comfortable out there with Justin.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, somewhat somewhat somewhat similar. You know,
obviously obviously a little bit bigger role with with with
with Keenan and Keenan and might not be in here.
But I means other than that, you know, not too much.
I feel like I feel like a lot of my
success this year and and stuff like that just coming
with coming with more confidence and more field for the
game as I you know, get used to being an

(25:36):
NFL football player.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
When you when you go through your first season, I
assume you kind of get out of it and you say,
all right, this is what I feel like I need
to work on in the off season. What what was
that or what were those things and and how did
you attack them? And how do you feel like you've
improved coming into year two?

Speaker 8 (25:52):
Yeah? Sure, just I mean just as far as like
my rous just being more just being more technically my
roses was coming to technician really just really just holding
on my craft a lot of stuff, like you know,
get more catches up and stuff like that, and then
and then so at the end of the day, once
you got out at it's just it's just it's just
getting into the playbook, learning the playbook, making sure you
know what to do it all the times.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
What about living in l a Q. Do you feel
comfortable out here? Do you feel like an Angelino?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Now?

Speaker 4 (26:17):
I mean, I know you didn't go Hollywood because you're
playing great, but tell us, tell us what it's like
being you and Los Angeles striding around the city.

Speaker 8 (26:26):
Man, it's one So, I mean, I mean, it's way
it's way different than texts. Obviously, I get, I get
I get spoiled by the what uh yeah, by the
way out here. So every time I go back to Texas,
I forget the actual seasons and stuff. But I mean
everything's been cool.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I like it. Well you deserve it. Uh.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
And speaking of Texas, you know, uh, I don't know
if you've ever seen one in person? My daughter was
very interested in it. Uh, the horned frog, the actual
horned frog.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
And there's a couple of kinds of it, but the real,
the real horned frog is a lizard. And uh they're
illegal to own.

Speaker 8 (26:57):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Have you ever seen one of those in person? Or
just a dude in the outfit out there in Fort Worth?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (27:03):
No, the clothes I got. So it's actually staying a
real lived ones. Our mascot I haven't. I haven't seen
one of the person though.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, because they shoot blood out of our eyes. You
know they're serious.

Speaker 8 (27:13):
Yeah, I don't. I don't, I don't. I don't want
to be around it anyway.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm good I looked into this.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
But yes, that's good research for this conversation with Quentin Johnston.
Coming off one hundred yard plus game, a touchdown in
Cleveland and a twenty seven to ten victory, they're second
in a row. They will host the Titans on Sunday.
Tickets available at Chargers dot com slash tickets. Uh, Quentin,
what is what is louder? The horn at the TCU,

(27:37):
horned frog, the frog horn, the frog horn, or the
cannon that fires off at so far when the Chargers
score a touchdown?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (27:45):
Oh uh, it's a toss up for sure. I'll play
the canon because the cannon kind is just like kissing
kids about to fly.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Oh yeah, Now when you scored, though, No, when you score,
you're in never doing your dance and celebrate with your teammates.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
How is that?

Speaker 8 (28:02):
You don't, you don't even you don't even realize exactly.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
How is lad coming along? I would assume that he's
leaning on you and uh and leaning on some of
the other guys Josh Palmer and stuff in his first
year and certainly looks like it's going great and it's
just getting better game after game. What's that been like
and and kind of what kind of stuff have you
been sharing with him? Is he gets through his rookie year?

Speaker 8 (28:21):
Oh yeah, you know, one hundred percent. I mean, I mean,
I mean the main thing I was just saying with
him was just was just kind of you know, just
telling him that he just needs to you know, develop
a routine and you know, you know, on and off
the field to kind of just help him out and
and kind of just I'm just relieving him over like
any stress of this that that doesn't have anything to
do with him actually playing football. But other than that,

(28:41):
he's he's He's came in from you know, day one,
and you know, I got it on you know obviously
all his all his working, you know, dedication to the
game of showing up on the field, you know, happy
for him all the time. We always we always got
good energy bounced off each other from game to game,
and uh, I feel like I feel like we motivate
each other.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
How did your body feel at this point in the sea.
And you know, i'd be interesting for our listeners to
know what an NFL player's body is like post Halloween.
You look good out there, But how do you feel,
Quinton Johnston?

Speaker 8 (29:10):
I feel, I feel, I feel good for the most part.
You know, you know, just with any football game, you
always have you know, you know a few you know,
nick and bruises here and there. But it's but it's
nothing serious. It's all about It's all about just maintaining yourself,
you know, stay staying in the train room, being being
proactive about about your treatment and stuff.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Take us, uh, take us behind the curtain, if you
don't mind, Quinton last. You know, sometimes the TV cameras
we'll get to the sidelines and after a play last week,
we saw you and Justin and Joshua Palmer and coach
Sanjay Lo kind of huddled around the surface, like what
do you guys go through when you when you come
off the field. What is it that you're looking at.
What is it that you're trying to kind of solve

(29:48):
mid game or maybe kind of look at to exploit
mid game. What are you guys going through?

Speaker 8 (29:53):
Oh yeah, so, I mean, I mean, just depending on
kind of like what look we get we go we
go back and and and kind of like do go
over go over what the defense was in any any
any you know, like additional chacks. We need to make
anything that that we that we need to either do
better or tweak. And then you know we kind of
we kind of just go off go off of that
and you know, just just put our heads together and
you know, find out ways to fix it.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Quentin, it's great to watch you have success out there,
and it's great to watch you flourish under this new
coaching staff. We know pro football is not easy and
we appreciate the effort you do out there week in
and week out for yourself and your family. Thanks for
joining us and spending time and good luck on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
God bless you.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
Yeah, I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
There he goes, Quentin Johnston, you have the Chargers A
fine young man.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
He didn't know.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
He didn't know, you know, like Jesus said when he
was on the cross, forgive them Lord, they know not
what they've done. He didn't know that he interrupted three
things there, Okay, he.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Didn't know he put a pin in it.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
You know, it's like when a child walks into the room.
All the parents are passionately making lots. The child doesn't know's.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I can think of some other analogies that happened once.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
You know, my sister caught my parents and i'd heard
about it, you know that, because she ran into my room.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
I'm very upset. This was back when I was college athlete,
so I.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Was I was not always in the house. She's very upset.
And the next morning, you know, I was like this awkward,
it's kind of funny, you know. I mean, I didn't care,
and I was laughing at my dad, and he was
kind of he got to get it, get a little agitated,
and he said, it's better she saw us two people
that are in love and not two dogs in the street.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
So it's better that Quentin interrupted us here.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
At BJ's and not two dogs still.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
That are in love, and not two dogs fornicating in
the street out on beach Bullevarm.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Exactly right, thank you, Ronnie. We'll be right back. We'll
pick it up and we're going to attack JJ Reddick.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Sorry but yeah, yeah, everybody, Welcome back. It is the
one and only. I'm sorry, I don't control the speakers.
Welcome backs.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
It too loud.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, a bunch of like, well, well, the guys, it's
so sorry, base Bin.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
It's like, hey, I'm here to see Oakenfold and I've
got my head in the speaker and it's pounding my
brains into mush.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
We're here on a M five seventy LA Sports. We're
giving stuff away. It's the Petrosen Money Show live at
BJ's Restaurant in brew House in beautiful Huntington Beach. We're
at the one right off the freeway, making it easy
on you. And we were interrupted by Quentin Johnston from
the Chargers who joined us during Three Things Thursday.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
But that's okay. We'll get it back going.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Again as we are going to be here all the
way till five o'clock with Thursday night football coming up,
then Bengals Ravens throwing one one now.

Speaker 8 (32:52):
Thingsters.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
We're talking a little bit mad about Jake Redick and
his snarky press conference last night after the Lakers lost
their fourth on this road trip, going one and four.
And it's interesting to me because JJ Reddick took that
ESPN money for a couple of years, right, he walked
around journalists and the sports media.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yet he still has zero respect for what the writers do.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Yeah, and he was kurt, he was short, He dropped
the mic after a three word answer, he stormed off.
And this is all coming on the heels of what
was a great start. Three in zero. People celebrating him.
They liked the actions, They like they out of time
out plays the set. They liked that Bronny got in
and had that beautiful moment with his dad. Missed a shot,

(33:44):
was a negative three or something like that, and got
to go on a road trip with dad, which.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
You know sometimes he's NBA players are going on the
road for a while.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
It's just kind of weird. They take a kid with you.
And he's in the G league now. So those are
the things that we had covered.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Yeah, he might matriculate his way back up to the
big team. Could On Christmas Day very well, the Lakers
take on the Warriors's gonna be a lot of eyeballs
on that game. We're to get old Pew Bess and
Bronnie out there for that.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
One Warriors big to the Clippers.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Our third thing, So fifty two games now, Number one thing, Bronnie.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Bronnie's in the gleg League. Number two thing, JJ Reddick.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
You are who we thought you were.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
The cracks are already are his finger Jit, you already
about two out of the three two or three guys
getting them to put in the effort, and talked a
lot about wanting to play hard and Lebron being the
guy that played hard in tonight's game.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
How do you address that with the team. What's your
philosophy for approaching I.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Just did I just did see you later and at
press conference.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
So we've talked about JJ reddick, good luck on your
flight home tomorrow. People churlish attitude. So those those were
the first two things.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
That we discussed to the Clippers. Third, fifty two games
fifty two of eighty two is what Paul George averaged
per season. On average, he missed thirty games per season.
Paolo Yorgo, That is thirty five percent of the games
he was asked to play as a max player that

(35:20):
was acquired with a sacrifice of a young player that's
turned into a perennial MVP candidate.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
In multiple Jake Gilgis, alexand raft picks.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Now. On average, the NBA teams played three games a week,
which means, on average, he missed a game every single week.
That was Paul George's career.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
And that's not good enough.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
No playoffs. You want to talk about a trip to
the Western Conference finals? Paul all right. In that series,
he was a minus twenty five. In the elimination Game six,
they lost by twenty seven. He shot five of twenty
with six fouls in the Game four loss, and in
Game two, as they were zero one, he missed two

(36:02):
free throws with eight seconds left while the Clippers were
up one hundred three to one hundred two, and they
would lose one hundred four to one hundred three at
the buzzer.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Left something to be desired.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Thanks for the memories PG the playoffs, Yeah, playoff Pete
year prior.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
And during the regular seaton.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Let's not forget about the bubble. Up three to one
against the Nuggets, Games five, six, and seven, all losses,
PG eight of eighteen, nine of twenty one and then
the piece they resist alls in Game seven, four of sixteen,
two of eleven from three with five turnovers, A minus twenty.

(36:39):
He was terrible when the games counted. Most same thing
last year. Series nodded at two to two with Dallas
next two games they lose by thirty. Game six, elimination.
He is a minus nineteen and he would miss the
twenty twenty two and twenty three playoffs with injury. So yeah,
Paul didn't necessarily have a Hall of Fame half decade

(37:04):
in Los Angeles. Uh, but p he was upset with
the booze?

Speaker 2 (37:09):
What do you mean there is?

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Didn't he think that people would not be super excited
about the way he laughed and the fact that they
didn't accomplish anything.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Well, you'd like to think maybe he was here, like
the booze are a possibility, you know, Like I.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Like to think of it like and and maybe my
perspective is wrong, you know, as just a fat guy,
but I'd like to think that the millions and millions
of dollars that NBA players make would provide an emotional
cushion for their ego when people say, hey, you suck

(37:48):
or airball or brick or you know, you come to
expect to see more pushing in the men's room.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh there you go, you know anything, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Like I would imagine that like that the seven million
dollars per week or whatever it is you put together
for yourself kind of provides an emotional cush exactly.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
I would think, Well, you tell me as you dissect
his response to the question of what was it like
when you heard the fan reaction.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Bother you though at all that they mowed you for
large stretches of that game, like after five years here
playing your heart off for them, Like, does that bother
you at all?

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Be as a question?

Speaker 2 (38:27):
I mean, you know, it's stupid, stupid. I mean I
was a free agent, you know what I mean. I
was a free agent.

Speaker 8 (38:34):
Wasn't something that I, you.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
Know, demanded a trade or you know, went against the
team here, Like I was a free agent, the team
presented something that was a team friendly, and I did
what was best from you for me in that situation.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
So there was the cheers.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
I appreciate them. Those were the moms that I played
hard for.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
The boos.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
I didn't get it. I still don't it when I
go to any but it is what it is. The
sports now, that's that's what's in sports.

Speaker 8 (39:05):
So yeah, yes.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
Here and uh you know more.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Booze team friendly. Fifty million dollars a year for a
guy that played fifty two games per season missed thirty
five percent of the games. Maybe that's where the disconnect is.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
Let's be fair, if Paul George didn't miss a whole
bunch of games and be hurt when he was a Clipper,
we wouldn't have the what they got.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
You doing, that's true training sound that we have embraced.
And would they get you doing?

Speaker 3 (39:40):
And would they got you doing?

Speaker 2 (39:41):
We wouldn't have it. And would they get you doing
if he was out there playing, and would they get
you doing?

Speaker 3 (39:45):
We wouldn't have that.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
We would not And would they get you doing?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
What they got you doing?

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Not our it's not his fault or our fault that
his body betrayed him.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
No, but you should expect the booze. Let's embrace the booze,
not a big deal.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Let the billowy cash that you've been played because you're
long and explosive, be an emotional cushion from the booze
and the anger of what as a dejected group of
sad people clip or farmis.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
You drive through Palmdale and you look at those kids
playing in the sand. They got no chance, These kids
got no chance. And here's a guy that's made four
hundred million dollars.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
He's sitting there calling these people stupid.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Right for booing them When you escape Palmdale and make
four hundred million dollars.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Kidding me, you know, I see a kid out there
outside a house in Palmdale sticking around in the dirt
looking at lizard carcasses, save yards.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
The kid's got no chair.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
No chance, and this guy made four hundred million bucks.
Come on, embrace it, take it, ease, stiff upper lip,
pollo your go damn it? All right, we'll talk to
Don McClain about that.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
He's a proponent of Paul George, So don't you sure
is be a different perspective. Talk about Bronny in the
G League, Talk about the UC they look and the
USC basketball team.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Got a lot of great sports talk, still a coup
great sports talk. Matt Smith has got another shot at
Jamison to work his way through.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Yeah, just kind of sipping it, enjoying it. Not to
mention thanks to the prize hooker.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Not to mention.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
The dynamic duo of Silk and the Union guy.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Very impactful, A real right left of Huntington Beach.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Ain't it though? Little jab and a hook get both there.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Great sports talk is what we're talking about.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
Sports talk wickeds fun fact, Don McClain word number song.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
I think we've outlasted, outlasted the Medicare Seminar. Oh they well,
oh no, he's sitting with them now, Sundowners though nobody,
really nobody.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
We'll be back with more great sports talk.
