Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros
and Money Show on air at AM five seventy LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Bad Money Smish,
check out the fit and Petros Papadakas. That's what we
like to hear here they are on your home of
(00:23):
the LA Dodgers, in sync and down the Green. Petrosin money,
trosin money, Rose in money, Rose in money Ros.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
The game to the winner is always a little less
than the loss to the loser.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Going out, Nick Petro, Sam five seventy LA Sports our
final show of the week, a three and a half
hour show. You get the bonus half hour because the
clips don't tip off till seven thirty against the Kings.
Adam Ausen will be around with pregame at six thirty,
so we got three and a half hours to cover
a whole lot of football, including Rivalry Week coming to
(00:59):
its inclusion tomorrow. That'll be at seven thirty pm right
here on AM five seventy The Battle for LA The
Crosstown Showdown, a two hour pregame from live age doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Feel like Game one of the World Series, Dodgers versus Yankees,
does it, Matt.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm trying. I would have put it ahead of the Clippers,
but that's why we're going to be off an hour
early or half hour early.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You led with Clippers Kings, Matt.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, that's probably a bad thing, probably should have led with.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
But that's who we are.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
But that's what we do. You know, that's what we're
going to on AM five seventy. We're not going to
Ucla versus Fuller ten basketball at seven pm. We're going
to Clips at seven point thirty.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Well, that's a problem, Matt, because nobody cares about rivalry week.
And it used to be a real if you're on
LA sports talk radio, it used to be a real
LA sports talk radio staple.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
It's our time to shine. I mean, we have a
captain of USC football hosting the show. All your old friends, coaches,
you know, people in the fraternity of USC Trojans and
UCLA Bruins. That PARTI dissipated in this contest that would
take over the city for a week at a time.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Now, we didn't just totally phone it in this week.
We had we hit.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It took us a couple days but we hit our
y Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Because there was nothing going on right. Ethan Garber's came on,
Rick Neuheisel came on, Ronnie Lott will come on today
in our final hour talking about the Lot Impact Trophy
and the big rivalry. So there are those things happening,
But you're right, it's not a daily occurrence with the
(02:34):
fight song playing and a walk down Memory Lane and
all of those different things, because we are hand in
hand with the public's lack of interest for this year's game.
Very very rarely are both teams under five hundred, and
this year they are. And we will have that kind
of talk or neither team as a winning record, I
(02:56):
should say, And we will have that kind of talk
as the the day continues. But I am sorry, Matt,
it's rivalry week and we have other things to promote.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Again, I'm just lamenting. You know what it used to
be and what it used to mean for the Petros
and money show.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, yeah, there was a lot of things that used
to be. Matt, you know, used to do a show
at Hooters all the time, all the time. What is it, Tim?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I remember the glory days like Matt's where we every
day player coach, former player, somebody who was a great
that made an impact on this game. The Eric McNeil's
of the world.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Somebody would say something about something, Somebody would upset somebody.
Last night, the only person to show up for the
rally for USC was Jade and Mayava. Guys only started
one game.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And Lincoln Riley was there. Right the head coach made.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Noh, he's never been to the rally.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Ever, what what he didn't go to the rally. No,
he doesn't sacrifice traveler for the victory.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't think Lincoln Riley really embraces the USC part
of coaching at USC, other than the living in palace Verdies.
I think he embraces that part of living in southern California,
but I don't think he embraces the action.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But today I got the distinct privilege. Oh gee, his
name can't coach then, thoughts.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
You want a head coach that gets into this rivalry, Guys,
I'm sorry, Petros. This is a head coach that gets
into it, understands it. Sean Foster All.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
To show up, come out here and be ecstatic.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
He went to the robbery rings some noise so we can.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Beat on these boys.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
You got that.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I got a little someone wants on the chant.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Okay, here we go up tuesdown. We all know who
run this team. Oh yeah, all right, fours up up tuesdown.
We all know who running this town. Fors up tuesdown.
We all know who running this town.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I need your roles.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Got to be the loudest.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, coach, we got you.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Wait to go to Sean Foster. That's fantastic. Fours up,
two down.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You all know who runs this town?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, force up, two's down.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right around the second round of that chant, Lincoln Riley
opened another bottle of Justin I saciles in Pallas Murn's estates,
me me, me, me me, uh yeah. Well, if you're
Deshaun Foster, you're a UCLA player, and you've been at
UCLA basically your entire career, almost like Mike Gundhy has
(05:23):
been at Oklahoma State his entire career. You've got to
show up at the rivalry your first year the rally, right,
But I remember Mora would show up. It's just something
that Lincoln Riley doesn't do. Either way, Matt, nobody seems
very happy about it this year. But good on de
Shaun Foster, like you said.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Borsa twos down, we can all know who run this
tam one more time, yeah, Borza twos down. We all
know who run this tam. Borza toos down. We all
know who run this tam and even roles to be
the loudest.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, coach, give me and a clap. Four's up, twos down.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So that is the schedule tonight, Clippers versus the Kings.
I believe it's a special NBA special night.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Can I ask a stupid question not to cut you off?
A gampot?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Don't see the special man?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
What can I ask you guys a question? You know?
And the Texas, if you do the Longhorn down.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You can get penalized for the horns down.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
You can't do the horns down. If you play them, you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Score a to offended as fight on down. Now if
you do that.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
On Saturday night, even Garbers gets in TJ. Harden gets
in the end zone, they do fours up all of
a sudden twos down. Are they gonna get flagged for that?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It really depends. I would imagine how demonstrative and where
they do it.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Because we all know who runs this town.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I heard what they're What you're supposed to do is
you put the base of your index and pointer finger
right at your nose and you have the twos down,
and then you put your tongue through it and you go.
That's how you do the twos down.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Some people blame the lackluster attitude on rivalry week on
Lincoln Riley, and perhaps that's what the blame should Uh,
that's where the blame should lie.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Feels like the Shawn's tried, right, He's tried.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He said, fours up, twos down. We also run this town.
He also said everybody in US he's a stupid idiot,
yeppid that all the smart people go to UCLA.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
And the US. What Lincoln Riley say this week? We
are all sick right now in the in the Trojan.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What did he say? They got the flu? So, uh,
that's what's happening U s C U CLA tomorrow night.
But tonight there's two basketball games Clippers versus Kings, and
on eleven fifty, UCLA is taking the court against Fullerton.
The Titans and Tim Kates will have postgame brew and talk,
(07:44):
and I know it's that a brew and a lump.
He's excited about that and maybe Matt, No.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
You're not gonna go out there for postgame tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No, yeah, no, get it started, man, You know what
I mean, your RV, you get the direct TV dish
mounted on top of you, or win a bago going
and we're partying all night saying force up to is down.
We all know who runs who run his town.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I mean, there was a day that this radio station
camped down on top of the Tower Records building and
did a share the sugar, sitting in until the was
a UCLA got into the sugar bowl. I think in
ninety eight, ninety nine something like that.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It was those who was on the billboard.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
No, we sat it. There was like a sin I
know who sat up there. Victor Brick was up there
all the shows at the time. I don't remember what
the wine up was. We had all local shows. Dave Smith, Yeah,
the sports God was there, your carbone. Maybe the Big
Ben was sure there. I'm remembering. Yeah, it's a long
time ago. Those were the days, guys, when the rivalry
(08:46):
meant something right and people cared in this town about
something spending that on a billboard.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, that says maybe if they had the rally at
air you want, Lincoln would go. I don't think we
have one of those. You have to go all the
way to Manhattan Beach Sweet to get to that bougie
ass market.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm gonna sit on the roof of Airwan now.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Matt before we get to all the Frogman Friday stuff.
The biggest football game of the week is probably the
Monday night game against the Ravens. And we had a
very nice visit yesterday with the Chargers GM at the
BJS in Torrance Joe Hortiz, and that game is coming
up on Monday, and I think we've given away our
allotment of tickets.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yes we ended up giving away three pair yesterday. We
do not have any more to give away. There are
still some available limited tickets available at Chargers dot com
slash tickets. Lamar Jackson the odds on favorite to win
the NFL MVP, Justin Herbert, who's been playing the best
quarterback in the NFL the last four weeks on their
four game win streak, And you'll hear it on our
sister station All ninety eight point seven of five to
(09:45):
fifteen pm kickoff with three o'clock pregame, three thirty pre
game somewhere in there. But we do have tickets to
give away. Pe what do we have? We have tickets
to get how many period do we have to give
away today?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Two pairs, two pairs.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Unleash the Beast. Now, for those that think of PBR
as perhaps blue ribbon, totally understandable, Professional bull Riders Association
is the PBR Professional bull Riders and the Unleash the
Beast is their big sort of EPL style tournament, you know,
(10:24):
where you accumulate points week after week after week and
ultimately they crown a chant like a sprint race, like
a sprint race, like a weekly you know, it's just
a weekly tally. There may not be a bracketed, single
elimination tournament. It's more of a season long thing over
there on the PBR. And having done a little bit
of digging, is we're gonna have two pair of tickets
(10:45):
to give away to the Unleash the Beast Tour in
Ontario this weekend, the only stop in the LA area
for the Professional bull Riders PBR. As the Unleash the
Beast events, writers compete for points to qualify for the
world finals ultimately be crowned the world champion. That's a
million bucks you get in a coveted gold buckle. Tickets
are available at Ticketmaster, but we do have two pair.
(11:07):
And as I dig some digging around the I did
some digging around the PBR, it turns out not only
do they have a tab for riders like John Krimber,
Colton he Hello, we have Eduardo a Parcidio, okay, Claudio Montana,
but we also have standings for the bulls.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Bull standings. Oh yeah, like the toughest bull.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, exactly. So we have bull standings, and included with
all of those great athletes, we have got the freaking
bull standings. From the current top of the crop, younce
Brody's pet to still making a charge here. Man Hater
in second place is making a run right now. So look,
(12:01):
you know, it's not just about it's not just about
the riders. It's about the bulls. And the bull standings
are pretty tight. Yauchts Brody Pett currently has an average
score of forty six point five. Man Hater right behind
it at forty five point seventy five, and don't sleep
on whiskey business or King Tutt just over a point behind. Say,
(12:27):
So that's what we're giving away tickets too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That people are into it.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I know they are, so I want to make sure
these people know that we know, we know the Kansas
City the current thro.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm just trying to say people are into.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Unfortunately, there is no California team. As surprising as that
may be. The Kansas City Outlaws currently or team leaders
just ahead of the Carolina Cowboys in Florida Freedom, followed
by the Texas Rattlers, the Austin Gamblers, the Missouri Thunder,
the Nashville Stampede, the Oklahoma Wild Catters.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Wild Canter.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's been a rough go for the Arizona Ridge Riders
this year.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, it's hard to ride the ridge for too long, man, And.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Believe it or not, the team in last place, New
York City, the New York Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
New York City's got bull riding.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Apparently they do. The New York Mavericks are in dead
last place, a mere three thousand, three hundred points behind
the Kansas City Outlaws. Who's sitting first?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
How many pairs of tickets do we have to give away?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Two pair?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
This guy says, Matt talking pbr is worse than you
talking half one. Well, you're getting.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Both today ahle how you like that jerk face jerk
I might follow I might follow it to Saint Louis
and then Wi chitah might at the tour manut at
the PBR.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You mean both shocked to know that my daughters went
to the PBR and Phoenix last month when it was there?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
At a great time?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I hear it's really it is a blasting Yeah, I've heard.
It's a really good.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Watch the bull like beat the crown up out of
some guy and yell and scream.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And then there's music and a lot of fun in
between each race.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's cool.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, it's a great time out there.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
A lot of ball kicking, a lot of ball kicking.
Just kick a lot of balls out there. Man, man hater.
That sounds like man hater. Second, currently second, All right.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It is a frog man Friday around here. Life itself
is full of rocks and whirlpools, an ocean that man
avoids with the greatest caution and care. On a frog
Man Friday, we passed the time by honoring the greatness
(14:43):
of the Pacific Ocean and knowing that we must fear
it as well. We honor our lifeguards like Greg Crumb
we honor our Coastguards and our beach police, even the
guys on the BECI.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Clets oh very important.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And the ATV guys. We also love to honor the
great Mike Nelson character played by the one and only
Lloyd Bridges, one of the greatest television shows ever produced.
Off the coast of Rancho Palace Verdes see how I.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Knew the voice, but I had almost forgotten the faces.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Met Cougar Laurens.
Speaker 4 (15:23):

again for me?
Speaker 4 (15:46):

Speaker 2 (15:49):
You're flying to Hawaii tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (15:50):

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh yeah, thanks for the translation, Pep.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
What are you nuts?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
We're still going to take the stuff to Florida? Do
you know what that's like? These days? You got the
effing Navy everywhere, You got Frogman you got AC's with
the satellite track and stuff, got the effing Bellasoul Choppers
off the arts. We're losing one out of every nine loads.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
There's no dark walk anywhere. Let me tell you, forget
about the money.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
What do you suggest that is actually reasonable?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Sea Lab Oh, come on, olive branch. We did have
a lot of guys that wanted to have an anchor
baby with Pitt Pip, excuse me, so she could stay
in in the States. Matt a terrible text I just
got from a guy whose last name is Rodriguez. It
(16:51):
says Matt is reading old results PBR team season ended
in October, Austin Gambler's won, and are the champions? Well,
then why are we giving tickets away to a new one?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Then? Why? Like then, don't get on me, get on
pbrfreaking dot com.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You don't think they're you don't think they're up enough
on there results?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh oh no, no, no, I see what he's saying. Yes,
the tournament bracket is already out. I see what he's saying.
I see, I see, I see all right, but still
like you know we we well listen, I'm trying, okay,
trying to build some he gave an effort. Yes, I mean, so,
what are we like just part of the silly season,
Like they just come to California. That's say, hey, yeah,
(17:33):
he feels like California, folks. We're just gonna do a
little exhibition out.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
It's like the tennis silly season of the Gulf Silly Season. Well,
put Matt just a place to go make some extra money.
They're mocking us, basically. Yes, it seems like I think
we got to the bottom of it at the first
damn segment of the show. This is a silly season event.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Electrifying adrenaline rush of PBR witness world class athletes going
head to head with powerful bucking at this must see competition.
What competition. It's already been settled. You've made fools with me.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's the silly season, Matt.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, it's not hard to do.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
We'll be back. We've got more. We've got a lot
of stuff to do. Top story of the day NFL
stuff College football whip black.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I really thought man Hater was gonna catch you outs too. Well,
what they did know that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Do they have a big barbecue with all the bulls
at the end of the year, and everybody eats them
or how do they handle it? I don't know, what
is that bad to say? Yeah, they got names. You know,
people got names.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
They got names. People maybe like really like the bull
named hell right.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I guess do the bulls come back like, Hey, I'm
back for another year kicking an ass.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Maybe maybe they're like, hey, you know they're bringing out
Flapjack to this one. We got to get out to
that event and think that big, nasty and always been crazy,
we're gonna make it out, but they are.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It's hard to believe that the extensive research we've done
on PBR has led us to this right sandtrap.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I managed to get at least three minutes of research
in once I recognized it was on the rundown right
as we signed on. I take great offense to people
saying I don't know what I'm talking about when it
comes to PBR.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
We'll be back with PBR tickets and the one and
only Don McLain.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Let's give him away and stop talking about it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
The Petchers and Buddy Show on a frog Man Friday
go until six thirty between now and then two pair
of tickets to the PBR Unleash the Beast tour for
(19:53):
you Bull Rider fans, so keep on listening.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Tonight we got two events. We got Clippers Kings right
here on five sets, and we got UCLA basketball versus
Fullerton on AM eleven to fifty.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Joining us right now on the Southern California Toyota Dealers
celebrity hotline. The leading scorer in the history of the
PAC twelve. You see him now in the Big Ten Network.
You'll see him on the Big Ten Network doing Ucla
Fullerton tonight. He also handles his business on fan Dual
Sports with the Clippers. An award winner in the NBA
(20:33):
and a hero to the people here in the city
of Los Angeles. His statue in Lemon Park reminds everybody
in Seebee Valley's hometown that the next ass he kisses
will be the first. It is Don McLay on the
Petrosen Money Show. What's Cracking? Don? How are you?
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I am, in fact p heading to UCLA right now
and it is one of my favorite games of November December.
You might ask why because November December games usually aren't
very close, but it's Fullerton tonight, and you say why Fullerton?
Why because the notable alumni franchise has moved from the
(21:09):
PAC twelve net to the Big ten Network, and basically
the school that started it all for the Notable Alumni
franchise was cal State Fullerton because we don't care. We
don't care really about athletes. Former athletes were into entertainers,
people that invented things, obscure celebrities. Those are the people
(21:33):
we're looking for notable alumni. No offense, Matt, but you
were on Pepperdine's Notable Alumni.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
So I appreciate that you.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Are a veteran of it.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
But Fullerton started it because everybody got excited because their
two most famous alumni are Kevin Costner and Gwen Stefani,
exactly the demographic.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
We're looking for in notable alumni. People like that.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Notable Alumni franchise has become very strong, and we were wondering,
I mean because bringing it over from the PAC twelve
to the Big ten network, we we thought it might
be a little bit of an endeavor, kind of like
building the Panama Canal or something like that. So Don
was a.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Tough I've had to explain it more than once to
these producers of what we're trying to do and how
much fun with it, and I think the guy that's
producing the night, Glenn, this is the third game now
done with him, and I think now he finally understands
he understands it.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
We don't care that a twelve.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Time All Star in the major leagues went to Chattanooga, Like,
we don't. We don't really care about that. We're looking
for other people, not athletes. So now I think he
gets it now.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So are you playing the hits tonight? Don Are you
introducing Costner and Stefani to the Big ten audience for
the first time, or are you going to go obscure?
You're going to go a little ad like, what's what's
the plan here? How do you get this thing going?
Speaker 7 (22:59):
Well, I think I'm going to do what I just
said to you guys, Like I think anybody that watches
a lot of Big ten Network has seen it already.
We've done it a couple of times, but they haven't
been very good, right, But tonight he's good and they'll see, Okay,
this is what the notable alumni is there about.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
This is what we've been looking for. How long does
it take with these weird I mean we always talk
about this, but all the teams are new and they're
not the same as always. They're rebuilt with older guys
from the transfer portal. How long does it take a
guy like Mick cronin with a team that people expect
to be is that's pretty good? How long does it
take them to put his rotations together and get it
(23:36):
all right?
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Well, I think it's a case by case basis. P
I think some teams get it faster than others. I
think in the case of this UCLA team, you know,
there's so much emphasis on defense, not turning it over,
you know, certain certain things that he really locks in on,
and I think the offense comes last. But the good
news is last year they had a whole different team,
(23:59):
but it was a bunch of European freshmen and I
don't think they were ever going to.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Be good offensively.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
This team, with the players they brought in, have a
chance to be good offensively, and I think they might have.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I think they might have, you.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Know, gotten ahead of it last game because they started
shooting it.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Well.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
I just think the way Mick coaches, and he's terrific
and he's won a ton wherever he's been, but it's
not easy playing for him in the sense that if
you're not doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing defensively,
if you're turning it over like you're gonna you're gonna
hear it, and so to settle in offensively may take
a little bit longer. But I was encouraged the other
(24:38):
night in that game again t Idaho State, that they
may have turned the corner offensively because their defense is
going to be really good and already is like the
their their defensive metrics are off the charts, and so
now it's just about the offense catching up to it.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Dona, how about a call. You mentioned Chattanooga, and I
think you did that that game, that USC Chattanooga game.
Just kind of looking at the USC scores, it's been
some tight contest they got they lost to Cal but
they gave up ninety five to U t Arlington. They
beat Idaho State, the aforementioned Idaho State. You just talked
about the Bengals by just six. Are there any issues
over there?
Speaker 7 (25:14):
I mean, I don't think so. You know, Muss does
it a different way. He doesn't have a traditional point guard.
He's always liked big guards. They got it like twelve
six seven guys on their team. And it's by design.
He thinks that offensively he can take advantage of smaller guards,
run him down into that.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Midpost area and score.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Defensively, he likes his guards to rebound and then defend
the three point line, and smaller guards can't see over
the top of those big guards and wings, and so yeah,
I don't think there's any problems, but I think, you know,
Pete started the question with, you know, how long does
it take?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You know?
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I think usc in every team that's incorporating ten, twelve,
fourteen new guys, you're not going to know until Christmas probably,
And I know we say that a lot with the NBA,
but I think with the portal now and how much
roster turnover there is, and how many new guys you have,
and at least mixed been there for six years, you know,
Muss is brand new and so he's got a brand
(26:10):
new roster, brand new way of doing things. And so
the trick is always, and I say this all the time,
can you still win games while figuring it out? That's
that's the key. You know, maybe they're closer than they
should be. Does matter win while you're while you're trying
to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I wanted only Don McClain is our guest. Don you've
been to stage coach? Have you ever been to a
bull riding event or a rodeo, PBR or something like that.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
I have not, but I will at some point. Oh
you got tickets?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Good? Yeah, you know what you want to pair?
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Where's it at Ontario, Ontario?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And it's not like we can get it much closer
to you.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Yeah, kind of like you're remote.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
That's a tarential hill every year just for you.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Now that.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
It's probably not going to work in Ontario during the
basketball season, that would have to be an offseason of understandable.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
We'll call the PBR and let him move it to
the Looney Pit next year in cama Rillo. What about
Dalton connect Don and what you thought he might look
like in the fact that he might be the exact
piece the Lakers have been searching for for a while
and they end up getting him in the in the
draft that picked number seventeen.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Yeah, I think a lot of people were a little
confused as to why he fell.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
I think I kind of know why.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
He had a couple of workouts that weren't great. But
what people don't realize is the draft isn't about who
the best player is. It doesn't go on order like that.
It doesn't go one through fifteen. Is the fifteen best
players in the draft. A lot of it is positional need,
a lot of it is fit how they play. But
certainly he was he should have been picked way before seventeen.
(27:59):
But good for the Laker, And you're right, man, I
think he's he is exactly what they need for now.
He's a sniper and playing off of a D and Lebron,
that's what.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
You have to be.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
You're not gonna have the ball in your hands a lot,
but you better be ready to shoot when it gets
kicked out to you. And I think the other night
ain't gonna get thirty seven every night, obviously, But I
think he's a confident enough kid and what he can
do that that that moment in playing with those guys
isn't isn't going to scare him. And we talk about
(28:30):
that all the time in the draft, like there's guys
that aren't as talented but just aren't afraid. They have
that irrational confidence and that's a good thing. And there's
guys that are super skilled and super talented and they're
measurables are off the charts, but they're they don't like
they don't like that stage, they don't like that moment.
And so I think Connect is mentally equipped for this situation.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Being on the Lakers.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
All the attention that the Lakers get, Lebron gets a
he gets and I think he's gonna he's gonna turn
out to be a really good NBA player.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Uh, last night, you look at the Uh you look
at the Lakers. They get their seven game win streak. Snap,
they do it because everybody's missing free throws. Uh, it
wasn't obviously the two most egregious were, Uh, we're Anthony Davis.
But as someone who was a hell of a shooter,
can can you remember being in game? I'm sure you can.
(29:25):
Any games stand out where everybody's just got a case
of the missus. Lebron split a pair. I think Austin
Reeves missed two late in that game and they end
up losing on a last second three.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
You know when when when it's a close game and
you see guys start to miss, the missing becomes more
prevalent and you start thinking about missing, whereas normally you're
not thinking about missing, You're thinking about making it. And
I think it just kind of snowballs on people. But
it happens for whatever reason.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
I was an eighty plus percent free throw shooter in
college ninety two my senior year. My freshman year, I
think I shot eighty two or eighty three. We're at
Oregon State and Gary Peyton decides that I'm gonna be
the guy that night, right from the jump, and he
made me go because he was literally the entire forty
(30:17):
minutes in my ear, the entire game. I went seven
foreen from the free throw line.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Ooh, whoa Gary Payton got in your kisch.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Oh yeah, he's the best ever to get in anyone's kitchen.
Like I was a freshman, I was eighteen years old.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Freaking out, man breaking out.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Before you guys start feeling too bad, I still had twenty.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Five h Yeah, take a GP.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Great. Don McClain is our guest. We're always happy to
talk to him. Judge us every week. The BFF of
the Petrosen Money Show done. Of the Clippers shaping up
the way you thought they would, they're kind of hovering
around five hundred.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Yeah, I do, And I think that You know, a
lot of people looking at the roster without Kawhi would
say that that's good, and I would say that too,
And it's because of their defense. We've talked about Van
Gundy and his influence on that side of the ball,
and I think that's exactly what it's been. When they
guard and they're engaged defensively, they got a chance to win.
(31:21):
And I think some guys have stepped up. Norm Palace
obviously in a bigger role. He's having a gigantic year.
And so the interesting part is going to be when
Kawhi gets back, When he gets back, and how he
incorporates himself into that and does it automatically mean they're
going to start winning more. You have to assume so,
because they're winning games now, But that would be interesting
(31:43):
when he gets back.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Last thing done. A little bit of a well not
a little bit of national story, not but the Lakers, Cliffs,
Bruins or Trojans, but the Sixers. You know Paul George,
you know you worked out with him before his draft.
You still know him today. Just a weird deal in Philadelphia,
worst record in the league two and twelve, and story
leaks that Maxi went at Embiid for being late and
(32:05):
not being professional, and Paul George addressed it and Joel
Embiid addressed it, and they didn't even talk about Embiid's
thing or Maxie. They talked about the leak and they
were like, this is a big deal.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
That was a.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Closed locker room meeting where this happened and nobody was
in there except coaches and players, and we got to
figure out how the hell this thing leaked a what
does that say to you about that team? And is
it that big of a deal because it seemed like
they were both freaking out.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Well, when you're struggling, you have more meetings and you
try and figure it out. And when it's closed doors,
you assume that it's closed doors and it won't leave
the locker room, and so when it does, yeah, that
is a big deal.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
But you know.
Speaker 7 (32:46):
There's obviously issues there and PG getting hurt again is.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
It his fault?
Speaker 7 (32:50):
But we saw that here in La he got hurt
a lot and now it's continuing again, and you know,
it doesn't help that they're doing all this in Philadelphia
where these fans aren't going to watch this for very
much longer, Like they they just they're not going to
tolerate two and twelve or whatever they are. So, yeah,
they do need to figure out who leaked it. I
(33:11):
don't know if they ever will. Importantly, they got to
figure out how they're going to start winning games.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
The one and only Don McClain, he never has to
worry about winning games because he always wins. With the
Notable Alumni feature coming up tonight on Big ten Network,
A good one you see la versus Fullerton. Don have
a great call tonight, and thank you for doing it.
We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
All right, guys, have good weekend.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Thanks ton Tuesday is the only long show to put
Don McClain on next week. Oh but he is co
hosting on Monday. I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah, cancel
that Tuesday with Don McClain. He's coming in Monday. But
Worthy of Worthy is locked in on Wednesday at three thirty.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Well, I'll be damned.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh good stuff from Don McClain. It is true. It
is frustrating when your superstar basketball type like Paul George
is hurt and doesn't play, because then you're like, well,
what's going on? What does he do if he doesn't play?
Speaker 3 (34:14):
The Wall says it all.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
He does the podcast You're right, my bad. Well, don't
miss Don McClain to not on the Big ten network.
Don't forget Tim Kats on AM eleven to fifty with
Brewin Talk after the game, deep into the evening. We'll
be riding back with some reaction. There is some Otani
news out there, is that right.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
They taking to Don McLain. Let's give away a pair

pair eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy
eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy PBR
Unleash the Beast a caller number ten.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
PBRs like The Bachelor, Matt how so, I think it's
like not shown on live TV, and it's produced like
a game show or reality series where a whole series
can be shot before one episode runs, is that right?
So they travel around the country for two months, shoot
(35:37):
a bunch of shows.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
And then sidroadcast.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
That's why it was confusing for us.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So this will be for next year. Yeah, the production
what they're doing right now?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Correct? Gotcha? Now what did Bill Plask you tell us
earlier in the week. I don't sound Soto and that
your content is everything and right now it's few and
far between. You got your Sasaki guy that everybody's looking after,
and everybody's wondering who's coming back and when the stove
(36:12):
is going to be hot. But right now a little
bit of a holding pattern. Thank goodness for apparel. We
got Otani Watch.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
My name is Joe Haldani.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Otani watch.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
A nightpawn Ham fighter's uniform show Hey Otani war during
the twenty seventeen MPB season. So his UNI in twenty
seventeen was posted to Gray Flannel Auctions this week and
you can get it, Matt. The auction's going on right now.
You can get Otani's jersey. It's got his name on
(36:58):
the back, you know. It says nipon Ham Fighters on
the front. And according to the auction house experts, it's
the earliest known game war and Otawni threads to ever
be available for purchase. As we know, he was a
big star in the NPB before he took over in
the MLB in twenty eighteen, and this was his best
(37:22):
season in Japan. He won the MVP, they won the
Japan Championship Series. He hit three point thirty two. He
had a three point two oeer. Bidding ends on December eighth.
It started at around ten thousand, and we'll see where
(37:43):
it ends, but it's going to be over ten thousand
dollars for Otawi's Nipon ham Fighters jersey.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
And it's called Gray Flannel Auctions.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Gray Flannel Auctions. Okay, apparently most of the stuff they
sell is actually pretty current. Bid nine seven hundred and
forty three dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
You got sixteen days left. Started at five g's yes, Kate.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I think that's actually kind of cool to have his
Japanese baseball jersey.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
For nine grand.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
It's more unique than a fifty to fifty ball that
he hit. You know, it's worth four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
But for nine thousand dollars, I mean, you get that thing.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Signing right in.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Thirty years, it would probably be nine million. Manly strike
while the iron is hot, like make an investment in apparel.
Everything else is much less expensive. On gray flannels, it's
all gray flannel.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
But this well, except for those gray flannels with the
sweet fleece hood like the quick silvers.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Using there's a little a little more expensive, but far
less expensive than the Knipon ham Fighter. So good luck
to you auctioneer types. We will talk F one action
in the very next segment with the word of the day.
We'll do a number of the day we will have
I can't put enough dinner stove up there. I thought
that was good, Dodger, it was.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Hey, look at this Danny Werfle's Heisman trophy ring from
ninety six twenty seven hundred and fifty bucks. That's sad
for Danny that he's got all.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Terrible, right, I don't want to buy Werfels ring.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Terrible.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
You should buy it and give it to Wankie.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
We continue with the PBR knowledge on the Petron Somebody
show at m FI seventy LA Sports. Thank you for
your support on a frog Man Friday
