(00:23):
the LA Dodgers in sync and down the green, Petrosin Money,
Trosin money, ros In money, ros in money. Isn't that
what everybody wants, just for a moment, to be unencumbered.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Going it out, Vic Petrosan Money AM five seventy LA
Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and is we
just won't be defitting Wednesday, and we won't be stopped.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll roll through the neighborhood knocking down stop signs tonight.
Matt Knight, our new eyes, Matt Smiths. They call him
the old any new eyes, old new eye, new eye.
Somebody texted me, was Matt surgery successful? And I was.
I was so tempting to be like.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
No, no, he lost my eye.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
He's blind.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It was successful. Thank you to you, thank you to
Tim Kates, thank you to doctor Marafi at LA site.
It is incredible to now recognize what I was living
with prior to my surgery compared to what I can
see now. You know, the world's just a much more
beautiful place today, P really is. It's kind of like
(01:36):
I was living in standard definition, that's right, and today
I'm living in HD.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's like you did shrooms.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It is uh good for you. If I had known
it was like doing shrooms, I would have done this
twenty years ago, just for the hell of it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Tonight, Matt and I will go till six thirty. Clippers
versus Wolves pregame at six thirty, tip off at seven
thirty on Amphire seventy LA Sports, and don't forget Sunday
night Matt's big new eyes football game chargers at the Chiefs.
Wait till you to hear the nuances he'll be able
to describe now.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I used to have to. I had the most embarrassing
pair of readers because of the binoculars. They were the
ones that pinch your nose and have no arms, so
I could have them on the end of my nose.
I could read my notes while I had the binoculars
in front of my eyes. To see because they give
us such great seats at Sofi Stadium on the seventh
level in the corner of the end zone, as you
(02:27):
well know. And now I won't have to use this anymore. Oh,
I'm very excited about that, because it's all about how
I look while broadcasting a game on the radio.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's a whole new world, Matt, a new exciting point
of view. And just like a Laddin told Princess Jasmine,
don't you dare close your eye?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah it can show. Doctor Morafi has shown me the
world shining, shimmering.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Splendid Sunday night Chargers Chiefs talk up on AM or
no excuse me on ninety eight Dogs over on the
FM part of the dial. Let's promote this first Tomorrow,
Matt and I have a big show. Now I'm a
little under the weather, but I'm gonna feel better by tomorrow,
(03:13):
I promise. I'm just telling myself that. But my football
season ended and I inevitably get sick when it's over.
But we're still going to Downy DJ's Restaurant in bru
House in Downy from two to five. We got all
kinds of stuff to give away, Matt, and it's going
to be a hell of a show. Sure do a
show of redemption.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, we got a great Thursday night football game on
the station, Lions versus Packers, two playoff teams. That'll be
at five o'clock. So we start an hour early at
two pm, and we will give away tickets to the
aforementioned Chargers, not the Chargers Chiefs game at Arrowhead that'd
be weird. Figure out how to get there by Sunday.
(03:55):
But instead of the Chargers Buccaneers game that'll take place
in a few weeks out at SOFI Stadium Sunday afternoon,
So we have those. We have Clippers take us to
give away one of the hottest teams in the NBA.
They only missed out on the NBF Cup quarterfinals because
of point differential and their slow start against the Rock.
Yes it is bs Man. The Wall could have starred
(04:15):
in the NBA Cup. And we will also be giving
away fifty dollars BJ's restaurant in brew House gift pads,
and I would assume there'll be some of UCLA tickets
in there, maybe one of the teams that Spain is
talking about. At the top of the hour, Sarah Spain,
good game with Sarah Spain. Good game with Sarah Spain,
LAFC something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's a podcast that should be advertised hourly. It is. Well,
we'll be out there tomorrow. Tod McClain is going to
join us.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We'd love to see you.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And that brings us to this. Last night, Tim Kates
did brew and talk and I got a few text
here and there. Ucla played their very first Big ten
basketball game ever and they beat you dub by eleven
and it was at Polly And now they have to
go to Oregon. Is that okay? So that's kind of
(05:11):
weird bit odd, right, So Sunday they're at Oregon tip
off a three. That's on eleven fifty because there's going
to be a Clipper game. So Tim Kates will be
on eleven fifty on Sunday around five thirty talking.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's right after the Rourke thirty minute infomercial. It's God
be great some hatchets and bespoke items.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Rourke is a great brand.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Matt.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I won't have said they're having that, they're having a
great Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It in my timeline, probably because the two of us
have talked about it together. So my microphone has picked
up on that, and now I see all that Rorke
has to advertise.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, last night, you'd think that mc cronin after winning
the very first big ten game ever at UCLA, our
dear friend mc cronin, you think you'd be excited. But
here he is with Tracy Murray and Josh Lewin and
damnit Matt. They're having some technical difficulties and you know
they didn't they didn't hire Bert. I don't think this year,
(06:13):
so they don't have Burt to kick around. It's not
Bert's fault, but I don't know who they're in.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The either of our guys.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Mick is not in the mood, not happy with his
team's performance.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, three blind mice, three blind mice.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Oh wow, okay, take two mickells about way stop just
stop wow.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Leading into that was a scramble drill for the microphone,
right and just turned on and the headset and I'll
give you mine and you can wear this.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I believe the guy was on, as somebody earlier said,
the commode.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yes, he was on the commote. He was attacked by
the brisket.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So here is I mean, that's not a great way
to start. And you could just hear poor Lewin. Lewin's like,
why should I you know, they didn't even lose, and
I'm gonna wear this right.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He knew it was coming.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Josh knew that this was going to be the most
uncomfortable two minutes of radio that he knew that we
were going to play it.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Three blond mice, Three blond mice.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Okay, Take two, Mick Onechell's about this game to night.
Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I mean, I'd rather ask some questions. I'm a little tired.
I don't really feel like, yeah, I'm telling you about
the game.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
We just watched it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh my, you know, maybe if.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
There was not a padd O'Brien lazy one are the headlines.
He had already asked a very detailed question that the
microphone was not turned on, So I think he didn't
want to go through that all over again. Okay, take
to Wait wait wait, sorry about that?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Wait wait wait wait? You think that maybe if they
weren't going to Eugene on Sunday, if Oregon was here, Yeah,
that he'd be in a little bit better of a movie.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think so. And it's it's a one off, right,
They're just like going up to Oregon and they come
back for like five more home games. It's an it's
an asinine bit of scheduling that the Big ten put
together here.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Okay, take two, Mick, why don't you tell us about
this game to night? Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I mean, I'd rather ask some questions a little time.
I don't really feel like, yeah, I'm with you telling
you about the game we just watched it.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh, telling you about the game that you just watched. Ouch,
it got worse. How could it get worse than that?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
He was asked about the defense, and Mick, as you know,
likes deflections.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, defense, I knew you were going to talk to
me about offense, so you ask about defense and gets
mad about that movie dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I knew you were gonna come out here and ask
me about offense.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's not from last night.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Here's Mike last night. Further in his postgame interview, Poor John, if.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You foul, okay, you're either out of position or you
have no discipline okay, and that's coaching. Get him in position, okay,
or they don't get to play.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
That's real simple. I mean, that's just the way it
should be. And you know this is not Little League,
So you know Fouling is a byproduct of being out
of position or having no discipline, like Lazar when he
left his feet for a shot fake on a five
foot eleven guy. Okay, and he's six ' five.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Okay, so he's gonna.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Jump in block shots now, I mean, you can't do
that as a senior like you cannot. That's an egregious mistake. Yeah, okay,
that's gonna put me in to some mental hospital. Happen
when that stuff happens, I questioned my entire choice of
doing this for a living, Like if if Lazar's the
(09:50):
fun of it's the smartest guy on our team is
going to do that, Tracy, I mean, I'm fifty to
fifty to make it through the season.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Or a laser dude.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
This is must listen radio, really is. And that was
on five to seventy last night. No, it was on
eleven fifty.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Oh the Patriot.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, you had clips blazers here, you had the running
diary zoo.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Let me hear it one more time about the six
' five guy that jumped at a shot fake from
a five to eleven guy.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So you know, Fouling is a byproduct of being out
of position or having no discipline, like Lazar when he
left his feet for a shot fake on a five
foot eleven guy. Okay, and he's six ' five. Okay,
so he's gonna jump in block shots now, I mean,
you can't do that as a senior like you cannot.
That's an egregious mistake. Okay, That's gonna put me in
(10:44):
to some mental hospital somewhere when that stuff happens. I
questioned my entire choice of doing this for a little bit,
like if if Lazar Stefanov, it's the smartest guy on
our team, is gonna dosto. I mean, I'm fifty to
fifty to make it through the seasons the best.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It is the best. Then it's good to see Mick
Havana laugh with the guys a little.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean, you know, you gotta what you feel bad exactly,
but I'm sure he was very frustrated incorporated in the moment, Matt,
you know, when the engineer disappears and he's blowing it
out and you're trying to do a live interview in
front of the three dozen Brewin fans that have hung
around and hear the interview and a half Tim Kates
(11:28):
wanted to do a story yesterday. I don't know what happened.
He wanted to do a story yesterday and only Kate's
cares about how no one.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Cares about UCLA basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
At this point of the year. And then he just
just like UCLA's fans who were thinking about maybe going
to poly Pavilion, he just scrapped it and threw it away.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think that could have been fear based and never
even did the story. I think that could have been
fear based. I don't think he wants to come on.
We know that Mick listens to the show. Mick no
how much we love having them on, So why would
we have them on if nobody cares? We know people care.
They care about what MC has to say. Because they
care about what mcc has to say, then maybe you're
(12:12):
not into the idea of prairie View A and m
on a Tuesday next week.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But they played prairie View, Yes they are. I've called
a prairie View game. I know, I'm no fool. I
know about I had did Perry prairie View versus Morehouse.
What are the great moments in my life at the Coliseum?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Well, if it was.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Halfway through the fourth corner, the power grid in the
whole block, and La went off and they weren't able
to do the postgame show with.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Bone Crusher, and they just sent you home.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I know, actually I drove. I drove over to the
Fox studio at Staples Center and put a button on
it with MICHAELA.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
They Brian webbered you and just get out of here.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
That's the end of the game. That's the only game
I've ever been through in my whole life that I
didn't finish was the Prairie View A and m Versus
More House game at the Angel City Classic. It used
to be a thing for the HBCUs to come out
and play in the coliseum and the bands would do
their thing and all that. And now because USC runs
(13:14):
the coliseum, I guess they don't do it anymore, or
there's no funding for it or whatever. But I certainly
enjoyed that moment. I don't know, Matt. I just feel
badly that Mick had to go through that at the
end of the game. And I don't know what's going
to happen up in Eugene. I don't know if they're
going to hire a local engineer. I don't know. I mean,
(13:35):
I would imagine that Josh Lewin is not worried about
the x's and o's of calling the game. He's such
a veteran broadcaster, He's done so many pro sports and
all kinds of different broadcasts over the years, especially on
the radio. But I would if I was Josh Lewin,
I would be a nots about the post game. Yeah,
(13:58):
you know, and it's terrible. It's like you go through
everything jet like it's like being the headliner. Everybody's gonna
perform before. You have got to be on the chopping
block and Mick's just gonna put your balls in a fight.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
It's hanging in front of youhead like this sort of
dem It really is. While you're trying to call a game,
you're trying to prep for the game that week. You're
in the midst of the game and the throes of
the game, perhaps it's in the balance, and all you
can think about is, my god, if they lose this,
what is it going to be? Like? My god, if
(14:30):
they win this, can this team please get some defensive stops.
It's just it's everything you do, I would assume comes
with a caveat of how this going to affect Tracy
Murray doesn't, But no, my post get because he because
because Josh has to bring him on, and that's what
sets the tongue.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And Mit doesn't treat us like this. We do not
treat us like this. He's the best, and I don't
think he treats Lewin badly, but I think the dynamic
has reached critical mass.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Tro some money to best show him down.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I cannot wait until UCLA organ on Sunday. UCLA at
number twelve oregan big game chip off at three on
AM eleven fifty. Now that was that out yesterday, getting
his eye removed like an egg and chopped up and
then put back into his head. And now he sees
like the six million dollar man.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Twenty fifteen, twenty fifty. It's like the terminator with that
red dot thing.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We did have a great show yesterday with the snelebration.
We brought Blake Snell into the Dodger pantheon. They did
a press conference. Scott Boris sat there for twenty five
minutes and nobody asked him a question, and nobody asked
Guems the question either. But Friedman flipped.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Him one FCID take this one.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, he flipped him some of the scraps off the table,
but Boris just stood up there looking like his face
was carved out of granite and didn't even answer the question.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
And Boris and Boris is see U effers umfors you
want to take shots at me last year for my
Blake Snell contract for saying I did all these guys wrong.
Frankie montass was making sixteen million bucks a year, you idiots.
That must be why Boris was up there. I'm Scott Boris.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Taking his bows.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Vassa did an interview with Snell. That's on Yeah, that's
up on the Instagram Live and on the iHeart radio app.
We did the same, it's up on Instagram and on
the iHeart Radio app. And the best question was asked
by Tim Kates. Thank you appreciate that with Tim Kate
said hey, how hungry are you for Will series?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
And Snell was like, oh, real, hundred dog, I'm famished
you really, I don't feel like I asked it that way. Petro,
Oh really, if only we had an audio component to
it that that could be found in the midst of
the seven layers of lasagna that you've just warmed up
(16:58):
and jammed into your mouth. Engineer Rick.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hur real hungry brother.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
O Kates is freaking out. I wish you could see it.
He's freaking out, man, trying to find it.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Man, I'm trying to find out where this interview was.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
How do you not have it as your ring tone?
You're talking to Blake Snell about how hungry he is
and him getting fired up and going viral about why
he signed with the Dodgers because he's here to win.
G Dark what I am?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
I do have it in my sin folder because I
sent it to everybody in my contact.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The butthole out of a bison, That's how hungry I am.
You ever have buttholes from bison? You have bison wrecked
them before. I'm real hungry, Jim real. So he did
that and we talked to Vassay, But apparently Vassay has
got new information, and as Colin Cowhard always says, new
information equals new opinion.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
He's got it.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
How hungry are you to win a World Series Championships
with Tampa in twenty twenty?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:56):
I mean that's an ultimate team goal, So I really
can't wait. I've never won one. It's all I want,
It's all I think about. And they just did it,
so now we got to find a way to do
it again. I'm very excited to be on this team,
but I mean, you gotta win a World Series. It's
the only thing I want to do is win a
(18:17):
World Series. And then after that continued to repeat.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Yeah, what a great question, a great thoughtful answer.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Exactly right. So guy that's got two cy youngs, I
already won a cy.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Young toll he thinks about guys, all I.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Think about is winning that world So that's why I'm here.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That's all I can think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Let me ask you a question, Blake, How hungry are you? Man?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
How hungry I listen to that?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I could try every single topping here at the Potato bar,
that's how hungry I am.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Listen to how emphatic I know, Kates. You may think
that Petro's embellished a little bit, but really listen to
the way you deliver those three words forwards. How hungry?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
He embarrassed me at the moment, Matt, he embarrassed me.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Became so most with Tampa. I just want the very end.
How hungry are you? How hungry are you?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 2 (19:07):

Speaker 6 (19:42):
But if asked the question, and I pardon me if
you guys already mentioned this, but he was fourth yesterday
We had talked about whether or not he'd be maybe
one or two question. Jim Hill went one and then
the beat writers kind of went two three if.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
They jumped him, and I think was gracious. He knew
he was gonna get a one on one.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
And as soon as they went to the back and
they said, you know, David in the back, David seventy
Snell just start laughing.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh, everything changed, right, That's why I'm here. Dog.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Man?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
All good? You know, just a little bit disappointing, and
you know what what boys are doing, but you know,
trying to trying to keep em ahead. Man, No disappointing.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's kind of felt that way. Uh, you know, sort
of like a holding pattern, like you're waiting to land
at the uh the airport for a while. Uh. With
the Lakers, Uh, I mean now that you look at
the team and you see that they had the same
record as Darbnham did last year. Uh, do you see
any I mean, they they pretty much look like the
same group of dudes.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Well when they play the way they played in the past,
meaning you know, a little bit stagnant on offense.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
There was a game of a couple of games ago
when ad only had one shot I believe in the
fourth quarter that looked very familiar to something we've seen
in the past. And you know, uh, the theme is
we're gonna run everything through a D and I think
their chances are really better. But the offense is not
(24:09):
the issue. I mean, there's some things they can improve
on offensively, but defensively, you know, the way they jumped
out of the gate this season. You know, I thought
Reddick and I still think Reddick is doing a good job.
I mean I don't I don't think this is a
coaching thing. You know, giving up thirty something points plus
(24:30):
thirty points in the third quarter, you know, having a
little lead and have time and only to have that
same old story. So you know, that's you know that
that's a player issue. We can't talk about, you know, injuries,
and I know that's a part of it, but uh,
(24:53):
it's you know, it's early and teams have, teams have
scouted them. You know, nobody's nobody's leaving. Uh, don't connect anymore.
They're not leaving him. They're staying at home. So they
they've gotten kind of familiar with what they're running. So
now it's up to the Lakers to figure out how
they're going to deviate to get back to you know
(25:15):
what they were showing us that first week. Now they
were playing some sub part teams, and that gives you
a measure. When they played Phoenix, when they played Denver,
they played Oklahoma, that gives you a measure. But you
know they have to find a way that defensively have
some type of identity.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, you mentioned defense, James, and I kind of think
about it's. Look, if it's Anthony Edwards, it's Anthony Edwards.
But when you got a rookie like Terrence Shannon just
kind of taking an inbounds pass and running right up
the floor and throwing a dunk down on your head
and you're you're Gabe Vincent and you're just giving them
the old oh lea. I gotta believe it's it's plays
like that that that would be you know, shown and
(25:59):
reshown as to you know, kind of where's where's the effort.
I I don't mean to nitpick, God knows, I couldn't
keep up with a guy like Terren Shanna. Not mean
to say that, but it just seems like there have
been way too many of those moments this season, those
highlight real dunks or fast breaks where seemingly they're just
not ready, they're not waiting for it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Yeah, lack of effort, lack of effort, not getting back
on defense after a turnover. Uh, sometimes not getting back
after a may basket. So I don't know what that is. Uh,
you know, you're you're right. Too many in the in
the in the in the paint points. And Orlando came
(26:43):
in without their star player. Now other team seems to
do okay with with with it without certain players, and
you know, it's it's it's a it's a it's something
that I know Reddick is pointing out, this guy comes
from coach K and Coach K was a main you
(27:04):
know he was he was tough. So I know he's
telling everybody. But it's got to transfer to the court.
So that's that's player from top to bottom can't have
these lags. Man, It's whoa, it's it's it's not something
that is going to you know, get them respect around
(27:24):
the league. You know, with teams when they think you're
gonna you know, lay down in a third quarter, they
you know, that's that's not a good that's not.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
A good good feeling James, how much of that like
just thinking of Dave Vincent. I mean, here's a guy
that was signed to a pretty meaty deal for a shooter,
for a role playing guy that was getting you know,
between twenty and twenty five minutes off that heat bench
and turned himself into a solid defender's good three and
D guy. You know, he's making thirty five thirty seven
percent of his shots and man just has not worked
(27:54):
out here for whatever. I think it's ten percent or
seventeen percent or something like that. It was a really
no low number last year. How much of that transfers
over to the defensive side when this guy just cannot
get his shot to fall that's what he was signed
to do. He's dropped ten minutes per game from what
he was getting in Miami and it's starting. Does that
work in Is that something that happens in conjunction? Hey,
(28:15):
the SHOT's not falling. Now, this guy's kind of letting
it up a little bit here on defense as well.
We have figure out how to get this guy going.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, I think I think the other night when Reeve
was out, de Lo was out a lot of guys.
I don't know if he started it up. He played
maybe thirty minutes twenty seven to thirty minutes. Now, when
you're getting five minutes here, six minutes here, he still
(28:46):
had to produce. But he's a player that you give
him minutes, he's more productive. In Miami, he was getting
more production. But the minutes that he has, he's got
to focus on that and he's got to be a
little bit more productive. He's a bench of player, you know.
Derek Fish and I talk about this this all the time.
You give an NBA player more minutes, he'll find ways
(29:08):
to be productive. But if he's not playing a night,
if he's playing six minutes here, I'm definitely not for
he gotta knock down. She gotta be ready, you know. Yeah,
your phones always got to be on the hook. So
he does have to produce. Miami system, for whatever reason,
was more catered to him. You know, they didn't really
(29:31):
have a dominant ball type of guy, and so they
it was a little bit more motion I think. But nevertheless,
Vetcham players who have been paying a nice bag have
to come out and perform consistently, night in and night out.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
The one and only James Worthy of dear friend of
the Show, bringing the real truth on The Petroson Money
Show you can see him tonight on Spectrum Sports Net.
Has been struggling for threes, like oh for his last
nineteen But did I miss this thing where he said
he was gonna play in every game this year? Where
he made that proclamation, and uh, doesn't it seem like
(30:12):
he if anybody should have a night offer to it
should be Lebron James? What what do you make of
that situation? James?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, I think they I think they're gonna, they're gonna
they're gonna give that a second thought because his greatest
shape is the ind and what he does more than
anybody in the offseason. I mean, this guy comes in
on game days like four hours before it does these
crazy Kobe Bryant workouts, right, So, but nobody, you know,
(30:45):
father time is not an injury, you know what I mean.
It's not like you're breaking an ankle a year. It's
father time is it's something else. I remember Father time
got me when I was taking off from the free
throw man like I used to take off for my
and I just remember descending about halfway there. They turned
(31:05):
into a finger row that you know, And there was
no pain, there was no injury. It's just wear and tear,
and I think some of the shot selection, some of
the threes. I know, some of the turnovers that used
to look like clear as day Now you know sometimes
that's fatigue that you don't know about. So you know,
(31:27):
he's got to figure out a way to produce efficiently,
and he did the last game. I mean, Lebron is,
I mean, he's a wizard when it comes to that.
But I think over time and leading this team, I
don't think eighty two games. If there's anything that that
defines load management, you look in the dictionary that Lebron's
(31:51):
photos should be. Besides, if anybody needs it, he does.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, just to build on that a little bit, James
and for whatever reason, and people feel like it because
you know, he's someone that's a bit polarizing. He's in
the conversation is the greatest player ever, So if you
compliment or you criticize, it's going to be met with
derision from the other side. It does feel like and
it should. He's in his twenty first season, He's going
(32:16):
to be forty years old in a couple of weeks.
Like it should look like it's starting to slow down.
I do feel like, compared to last year, though it does.
I hate even saying it because I don't want to,
but it does look different this year, doesn't it. It
looks like it's a little bit different this year compared
to last year.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Well, when he came out of the box with those
what three or four triple doubles in a row. Yeah,
you know that kind of that kind of like overwhelmed people.
But Lebron can get a triple double, I mean easily.
I mean, I'm not saying I'm not taking anything away
from it because I have one and my whole career
(32:58):
and he had three or four in a row. But
it doesn't take away from the minutes played to travel
on a back to back game for a veteran player
with that many miles. It's just little things. You don't
even see it. It's not on the injury report. It's
(33:18):
just it's just there. Uh. Sometimes you don't want to
you know, you don't want to get back, you know,
and sometimes it's just sometimes you might take a break
on offense, you know what I mean, you might stand
in the corner and wait for it. So, I don't know,
Lebron's never going to give in to fatigue or two old.
(33:43):
He's mentally, he can't do that. It's just not going
to work in his paper. But having seen Kareem and
having you know, myself, and you know, like you know
now watching guys who who have injuries, you know, like
Kawhi Leonard, you know, you know, I know that in me,
you know. So it's the same thing with Lebron. I
(34:04):
think sometimes when I see turnovers five turnover, six turnovers,
sometimes I think that's fatigue. That's just my opinions.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
And James, let's last one. And we certainly appreciated the
just expectations, you know, the expectations that were placed upon
JJ Reddick and this team and Lebron and Anthony Davis,
and I know it's still wairly, it's a quarter of
the way through the season, but you look at the
top and it's a lot of familiar It's the Oklahoma
(34:34):
City Thunder read the best record last year. It's the
Mavericks who were in the NBA Finals last year. We
knew the Grizzlies were going to be better with the
return of John Morant. The Suns we knew would probably
figure it out if they could get healthy. Like how what,
like where do you think the expectation should be. And
I don't bring that up to like project what it's
going to look like in April, but just kind of
to project about the load management, about figuring out how
(34:56):
to ride this roster, and what's a realistic number for
the regular season if you want this team to at
least have a shot in the postseason? Sit should we
be thinking about a top six seed? Should we be
thinking about just hey, just get into the play in,
be healthy, and then take your chances when the playoffs
run around come around? Like, where do you think the
head space should be?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
In my opinion, based on the ross that they have,
they shouldn't be looking at anything below six, you know,
making the the change put Delil on the fence with
which I think he's accepted and starting to play into
that role that can be productive. I don't know what's
gonna happen with Woods coming back, but you know, I
(35:41):
think you know, a couple of weeks ago, man, we
were in second place, yeah in the West, and I
was like, lord, I haven't felt that since you know,
the nineties, almost it feels like. But I looked at
the schedule as well, and I said, Okay, they're gonna
be they're gonna get tested with the schedule, go out
on the road, five games in seven days. They can't
(36:03):
be looking anywhere below six. They can't be looking at
playing and all that. They're good enough, they really are.
If Freddick can continue to, you know, get them to
understand what they need to do nine in and night
out for four quarters or at least three and a
half strong quarters. And let your let your bad half
(36:26):
of the quarter. If you're going to have a lull,
let it be in the you know, the first quarter,
or you know, maybe in the second. Don't let it
be in the third and fourth. You just got to
keep preaching that and running it through a d and yeah,
that's that's that's the plan.
Speaker 1 (36:42):

matter of moments. Lakers in Miami. Always great to catch

Bjay's Restaurant in brew House from two to five and
you asked for the secret textosal line I We'll give
it to that's right now, Matt. A lot of people, uh,
and I know you're apped very, very eager to defend yourself.
But a lot of people were just a little skeptical
(39:28):
about your Magic City story. And at the Strip Club
in Atlanta, Yes, famous strip club. There's some texts regarding that,
brought to you by your Southern California Toyota.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Do uh just I guess quick reset. I didn't know
that to eat wings at Magic City you had to
go into the strip club. I was under the electressian that. Yes,
I was under the impression that if there was like
a takeout area where you would just eat the wings
and not go into the strip club. That's how it
was sort of presented to me, and I accepted.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I swear I thought the Buddy Ranch was the place
I could buy rabbits quote unquote voice of the Bolts,
Matt Moneys.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
My kids love bunnies. I just wanted to get him
a new pet.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Catching up with the podcast, glad to hear Money got
his eye transplant. I don't believe they transplanted Matt's eye.
I haven't seen him yet. I don't think he's got
one weird eye or anything.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I look.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
That I could pitch.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
In all the years listening to the show, I've heard
some wild stories from Hartman trying to make you cock
somebody that happened to Vic selling bootleg perfume in the
heart of the Soviet Union during.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
The Cold War.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
We don't think that happened Colin.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Bs on that, but those and any future stories will
never shock me as much as money eating wings with
Lou Williams at Magic City thanks Giving a weekend. What's
the turkey recipe? Next year? Stopped the brine and butter
and had the Magic City for a twelve piece of
lemon pepper and getting lost in Brandy's arm. Uh you know, Matt,
(41:20):
it was. It was nonchalantly delivered, nonchalantly delivered.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I didn't think people were gonna doubt me. I thought
I was just gonna be humiliated, as you called me
a stiff booty Leroy, Well.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Stiff boot shows up in Magic City.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I'm thinking, I'm just gonna get some wings at the
take I win to and take this uber back?
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Who told you that there was like a wings station
there that you wouldn't have to go in? If why
wouldn't they take all the advantage in the world if
you did all the money they can instead of just
selling you.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Wing yeah, think about it.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
I know.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
I guess I had just assumed that this is like
a there, that's where you aft up. You assumed I did.
If they were famous for their wings.
Speaker 6 (42:02):
Yeah, hey, Matt, were they good wings? I don't think
you ever addressed whether or not they were.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Actually I didn't have any Wait a second, wait a second. Yes.
I was so upset by the whole thing and so
uncomfortable that I was like, listen, I just want to
go in the corner and I'm gonna watch this Georgia
Tech Georgia game and I'm gonna drink my beer. And
like they brought the wings to the table and there's
(42:30):
a naked woman dancing like.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
You're supposed to eat. Yeah, suck, you're supposed to suck
the chicken meat off that exactly while you watch somebody's
open orifice wave in your face.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
It was not the setting for me to consume wing.
It was like, no, I don't want them now, and
everyone's like, stop being a bitch, I just eat the
damn wings. They're really good. And the one person I
was was like, really good wings, these are really good wings.
I was like, yeah, that's great. You can have them all.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Petres I thought, if you spank it too much, both
your eyes would have to be replaced.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
No, I only went depends if you use both hands
or not.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
I'm sure Mac goes to Hooters for the wings as well.
Giant eye roll ensues.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
And we went to Hooters because we were paid to
go to Hooters. That's why we went to Hooters.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
I was really hoping for a review on the Uncle
Jeff Honey jerk wings.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
No, they brought the lemon pepper. They said that those
were their signature wings.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
Oh, the lou Will lemon pepper barbecue.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
There you go, named after lou Will, who was eating
them at the end of the bar. I did not
eat them with him. I just saw him there.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
I cannot consume these. I cannot after seeing your open orifice.
It's right here, you tell Matt right here? Can you
tell Matt to slow down a little when he's telling
his story about the naked woman?
Speaker 2 (43:51):
She was. She had quite a bit of art adorning
her torso she wore very she wore undergarment, undergarments below
that covered very little of her her undercarriage, and then
(44:12):
a takeout tray that you would find in like a
cafeteria or a Chinese restaurant with some lemon pepper wings
are delivered to our table, and she was dancing in
front of us.
Speaker 6 (44:23):
That game went to eight overtimes. At what point did
everybody just stop what they were doing? The dancing stopped,
and you all gathered around the TV.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
There was one person who did that cats and he's
talking right now. Nobody else gave a good goddamn.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
Did you look around like, hey, guys over here, I
did not overtime seven.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I was trying to hide, was trying to hide from everybody.
I felt like a fool. And that's the truth.
Speaker 6 (44:45):
Hey, Cinnamon, they stuffed him on that two point conversion.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
All right, I'm gonna believe Matt, my radio partner of
almost twenty years. I'm not gonna I'm no longer gonna
read the I'm calling bs.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
It's fair to call bs. Everybody. When I told them
the next morning, when they had heard that I went
and I didn't know that it was a strip club,
it was like, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard,
said I how it was sold to me? How hungry
are you? I'm very hungry because I didn't eat wings.
Because this woman's rectum was right next time to put
(45:16):
them in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
I'm not hungry enough. A couple more days of not
eating mad, you'd eat those wings right in front of
that woman's bush.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, you're probably right. So is that like a cat
claw right there on your booby or what is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Come on, like Eve the Rapper?
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Yes, there was. That's exactly what she had going.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Mail me mal mail me me on me' all. So
he went to the wing, he went for the wings,
and then he didn't have any No, he just had
some booblin. And we're supposed to believe, yes, but this
wasn't the plan.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yes, that's what you're supposed to believe. I consumed an
SEC eight overtime contest sec acc rival regame.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I mean a lot of people. I mean Matt, Wow,
I know I would never say, Matt, you're a stone
cold liar like that didn't happen? Didn't happen?
Speaker 6 (46:11):
Did you guys get a bottle or you just go
by the shots or the six dollars service domestics bottle?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
I had, I believe somewhere around four to five stellas.
It's just so I could really cement my place in Hey,
this is who I am at Magic City, all right.
I'm the white guy.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Drained eight hundred dollars, eight hundred dollars for a bottle
of Tito's. These are thirty dollars at the liquor stores

I could read my notes while I had the binoculars
in front of my eyes. To see because they give
us such great seats at Sofi Stadium on the seventh
level in the corner of the end zone, as you
(02:27):
well know. And now I won't have to use this anymore. Oh,
I'm very excited about that, because it's all about how
I look while broadcasting a game on the radio.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's a whole new world, Matt, a new exciting point
of view. And just like a Laddin told Princess Jasmine,
don't you dare close your eye?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah it can show. Doctor Morafi has shown me the
world shining, shimmering.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Splendid Sunday night Chargers Chiefs talk up on AM or
no excuse me on ninety eight Dogs over on the
FM part of the dial. Let's promote this first Tomorrow,
Matt and I have a big show. Now I'm a
little under the weather, but I'm gonna feel better by tomorrow,
(03:13):
I promise. I'm just telling myself that. But my football
season ended and I inevitably get sick when it's over.
But we're still going to Downy DJ's Restaurant in bru
House in Downy from two to five. We got all
kinds of stuff to give away, Matt, and it's going
to be a hell of a show. Sure do a
show of redemption.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, we got a great Thursday night football game on
the station, Lions versus Packers, two playoff teams. That'll be
at five o'clock. So we start an hour early at
two pm, and we will give away tickets to the
aforementioned Chargers, not the Chargers Chiefs game at Arrowhead that'd
be weird. Figure out how to get there by Sunday.
(03:55):
But instead of the Chargers Buccaneers game that'll take place
in a few weeks out at SOFI Stadium Sunday afternoon,
So we have those. We have Clippers take us to
give away one of the hottest teams in the NBA.
They only missed out on the NBF Cup quarterfinals because
of point differential and their slow start against the Rock.
Yes it is bs Man. The Wall could have starred
(04:15):
in the NBA Cup. And we will also be giving
away fifty dollars BJ's restaurant in brew House gift pads,
and I would assume there'll be some of UCLA tickets
in there, maybe one of the teams that Spain is
talking about. At the top of the hour, Sarah Spain,
good game with Sarah Spain. Good game with Sarah Spain,
LAFC something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's a podcast that should be advertised hourly. It is. Well,
we'll be out there tomorrow. Tod McClain is going to
join us.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We'd love to see you.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And that brings us to this. Last night, Tim Kates
did brew and talk and I got a few text
here and there. Ucla played their very first Big ten
basketball game ever and they beat you dub by eleven
and it was at Polly And now they have to
go to Oregon. Is that okay? So that's kind of
(05:11):
weird bit odd, right, So Sunday they're at Oregon tip
off a three. That's on eleven fifty because there's going
to be a Clipper game. So Tim Kates will be
on eleven fifty on Sunday around five thirty talking.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's right after the Rourke thirty minute infomercial. It's God
be great some hatchets and bespoke items.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Rourke is a great brand.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Matt.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I won't have said they're having that, they're having a
great Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It in my timeline, probably because the two of us
have talked about it together. So my microphone has picked
up on that, and now I see all that Rorke
has to advertise.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, last night, you'd think that mc cronin after winning
the very first big ten game ever at UCLA, our
dear friend mc cronin, you think you'd be excited. But
here he is with Tracy Murray and Josh Lewin and
damnit Matt. They're having some technical difficulties and you know
they didn't they didn't hire Bert. I don't think this year,
(06:13):
so they don't have Burt to kick around. It's not
Bert's fault, but I don't know who they're in.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The either of our guys.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Mick is not in the mood, not happy with his
team's performance.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, three blind mice, three blind mice.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Oh wow, okay, take two mickells about way stop just
stop wow.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Leading into that was a scramble drill for the microphone,
right and just turned on and the headset and I'll
give you mine and you can wear this.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I believe the guy was on, as somebody earlier said,
the commode.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yes, he was on the commote. He was attacked by
the brisket.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So here is I mean, that's not a great way
to start. And you could just hear poor Lewin. Lewin's like,
why should I you know, they didn't even lose, and
I'm gonna wear this right.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He knew it was coming.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Josh knew that this was going to be the most
uncomfortable two minutes of radio that he knew that we
were going to play it.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Three blond mice, Three blond mice.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Okay, Take two, Mick Onechell's about this game to night.
Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I mean, I'd rather ask some questions. I'm a little tired.
I don't really feel like, yeah, I'm telling you about
the game.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
We just watched it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh my, you know, maybe if.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
There was not a padd O'Brien lazy one are the headlines.
He had already asked a very detailed question that the
microphone was not turned on, So I think he didn't
want to go through that all over again. Okay, take
to Wait wait wait, sorry about that?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Wait wait wait wait? You think that maybe if they
weren't going to Eugene on Sunday, if Oregon was here, Yeah,
that he'd be in a little bit better of a movie.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think so. And it's it's a one off, right,
They're just like going up to Oregon and they come
back for like five more home games. It's an it's
an asinine bit of scheduling that the Big ten put
together here.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Okay, take two, Mick, why don't you tell us about
this game to night? Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I mean, I'd rather ask some questions a little time.
I don't really feel like, yeah, I'm with you telling
you about the game we just watched it.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh, telling you about the game that you just watched. Ouch,
it got worse. How could it get worse than that?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
He was asked about the defense, and Mick, as you know,
likes deflections.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, defense, I knew you were going to talk to
me about offense, so you ask about defense and gets
mad about that movie dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I knew you were gonna come out here and ask
me about offense.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's not from last night.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Here's Mike last night. Further in his postgame interview, Poor John, if.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You foul, okay, you're either out of position or you
have no discipline okay, and that's coaching. Get him in position, okay,
or they don't get to play.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
That's real simple. I mean, that's just the way it
should be. And you know this is not Little League,
So you know Fouling is a byproduct of being out
of position or having no discipline, like Lazar when he
left his feet for a shot fake on a five
foot eleven guy. Okay, and he's six ' five.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Okay, so he's gonna.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Jump in block shots now, I mean, you can't do
that as a senior like you cannot. That's an egregious mistake. Yeah, okay,
that's gonna put me in to some mental hospital. Happen
when that stuff happens, I questioned my entire choice of
doing this for a living, Like if if Lazar's the
(09:50):
fun of it's the smartest guy on our team is
going to do that, Tracy, I mean, I'm fifty to
fifty to make it through the season.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Or a laser dude.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
This is must listen radio, really is. And that was
on five to seventy last night. No, it was on
eleven fifty.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Oh the Patriot.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, you had clips blazers here, you had the running
diary zoo.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Let me hear it one more time about the six
' five guy that jumped at a shot fake from
a five to eleven guy.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So you know, Fouling is a byproduct of being out
of position or having no discipline, like Lazar when he
left his feet for a shot fake on a five
foot eleven guy. Okay, and he's six ' five. Okay,
so he's gonna jump in block shots now, I mean,
you can't do that as a senior like you cannot.
That's an egregious mistake. Okay, That's gonna put me in
(10:44):
to some mental hospital somewhere when that stuff happens. I
questioned my entire choice of doing this for a little bit,
like if if Lazar Stefanov, it's the smartest guy on
our team, is gonna dosto. I mean, I'm fifty to
fifty to make it through the seasons the best.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It is the best. Then it's good to see Mick
Havana laugh with the guys a little.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean, you know, you gotta what you feel bad exactly,
but I'm sure he was very frustrated incorporated in the moment, Matt,
you know, when the engineer disappears and he's blowing it
out and you're trying to do a live interview in
front of the three dozen Brewin fans that have hung
around and hear the interview and a half Tim Kates
(11:28):
wanted to do a story yesterday. I don't know what happened.
He wanted to do a story yesterday and only Kate's
cares about how no one.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Cares about UCLA basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
At this point of the year. And then he just
just like UCLA's fans who were thinking about maybe going
to poly Pavilion, he just scrapped it and threw it away.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think that could have been fear based and never
even did the story. I think that could have been
fear based. I don't think he wants to come on.
We know that Mick listens to the show. Mick no
how much we love having them on, So why would
we have them on if nobody cares? We know people care.
They care about what MC has to say. Because they
care about what mcc has to say, then maybe you're
(12:12):
not into the idea of prairie View A and m
on a Tuesday next week.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But they played prairie View, Yes they are. I've called
a prairie View game. I know, I'm no fool. I
know about I had did Perry prairie View versus Morehouse.
What are the great moments in my life at the Coliseum?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Well, if it was.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Halfway through the fourth corner, the power grid in the
whole block, and La went off and they weren't able
to do the postgame show with.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Bone Crusher, and they just sent you home.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I know, actually I drove. I drove over to the
Fox studio at Staples Center and put a button on
it with MICHAELA.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
They Brian webbered you and just get out of here.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
That's the end of the game. That's the only game
I've ever been through in my whole life that I
didn't finish was the Prairie View A and m Versus
More House game at the Angel City Classic. It used
to be a thing for the HBCUs to come out
and play in the coliseum and the bands would do
their thing and all that. And now because USC runs
(13:14):
the coliseum, I guess they don't do it anymore, or
there's no funding for it or whatever. But I certainly
enjoyed that moment. I don't know, Matt. I just feel
badly that Mick had to go through that at the
end of the game. And I don't know what's going
to happen up in Eugene. I don't know if they're
going to hire a local engineer. I don't know. I mean,
(13:35):
I would imagine that Josh Lewin is not worried about
the x's and o's of calling the game. He's such
a veteran broadcaster, He's done so many pro sports and
all kinds of different broadcasts over the years, especially on
the radio. But I would if I was Josh Lewin,
I would be a nots about the post game. Yeah,
(13:58):
you know, and it's terrible. It's like you go through
everything jet like it's like being the headliner. Everybody's gonna
perform before. You have got to be on the chopping
block and Mick's just gonna put your balls in a fight.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
It's hanging in front of youhead like this sort of
dem It really is. While you're trying to call a game,
you're trying to prep for the game that week. You're
in the midst of the game and the throes of
the game, perhaps it's in the balance, and all you
can think about is, my god, if they lose this,
what is it going to be? Like? My god, if
(14:30):
they win this, can this team please get some defensive stops.
It's just it's everything you do, I would assume comes
with a caveat of how this going to affect Tracy
Murray doesn't, But no, my post get because he because
because Josh has to bring him on, and that's what
sets the tongue.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And Mit doesn't treat us like this. We do not
treat us like this. He's the best, and I don't
think he treats Lewin badly, but I think the dynamic
has reached critical mass.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Tro some money to best show him down.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I cannot wait until UCLA organ on Sunday. UCLA at
number twelve oregan big game chip off at three on
AM eleven fifty. Now that was that out yesterday, getting
his eye removed like an egg and chopped up and
then put back into his head. And now he sees
like the six million dollar man.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Twenty fifteen, twenty fifty. It's like the terminator with that
red dot thing.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We did have a great show yesterday with the snelebration.
We brought Blake Snell into the Dodger pantheon. They did
a press conference. Scott Boris sat there for twenty five
minutes and nobody asked him a question, and nobody asked
Guems the question either. But Friedman flipped.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Him one FCID take this one.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, he flipped him some of the scraps off the table,
but Boris just stood up there looking like his face
was carved out of granite and didn't even answer the question.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
And Boris and Boris is see U effers umfors you
want to take shots at me last year for my
Blake Snell contract for saying I did all these guys wrong.
Frankie montass was making sixteen million bucks a year, you idiots.
That must be why Boris was up there. I'm Scott Boris.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Taking his bows.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Vassa did an interview with Snell. That's on Yeah, that's
up on the Instagram Live and on the iHeart radio app.
We did the same, it's up on Instagram and on
the iHeart Radio app. And the best question was asked
by Tim Kates. Thank you appreciate that with Tim Kate
said hey, how hungry are you for Will series?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
And Snell was like, oh, real, hundred dog, I'm famished
you really, I don't feel like I asked it that way. Petro,
Oh really, if only we had an audio component to
it that that could be found in the midst of
the seven layers of lasagna that you've just warmed up
(16:58):
and jammed into your mouth. Engineer Rick.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hur real hungry brother.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
O Kates is freaking out. I wish you could see it.
He's freaking out, man, trying to find it.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Man, I'm trying to find out where this interview was.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
How do you not have it as your ring tone?
You're talking to Blake Snell about how hungry he is
and him getting fired up and going viral about why
he signed with the Dodgers because he's here to win.
G Dark what I am?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
I do have it in my sin folder because I
sent it to everybody in my contact.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The butthole out of a bison, That's how hungry I am.
You ever have buttholes from bison? You have bison wrecked
them before. I'm real hungry, Jim real. So he did
that and we talked to Vassay, But apparently Vassay has
got new information, and as Colin Cowhard always says, new
information equals new opinion.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
He's got it.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
How hungry are you to win a World Series Championships
with Tampa in twenty twenty?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:56):
I mean that's an ultimate team goal, So I really
can't wait. I've never won one. It's all I want,
It's all I think about. And they just did it,
so now we got to find a way to do
it again. I'm very excited to be on this team,
but I mean, you gotta win a World Series. It's
the only thing I want to do is win a
(18:17):
World Series. And then after that continued to repeat.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Yeah, what a great question, a great thoughtful answer.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Exactly right. So guy that's got two cy youngs, I
already won a cy.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Young toll he thinks about guys, all I.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Think about is winning that world So that's why I'm here.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That's all I can think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Let me ask you a question, Blake, How hungry are you? Man?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
How hungry I listen to that?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I could try every single topping here at the Potato bar,
that's how hungry I am.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Listen to how emphatic I know, Kates. You may think
that Petro's embellished a little bit, but really listen to
the way you deliver those three words forwards. How hungry?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
He embarrassed me at the moment, Matt, he embarrassed me.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Became so most with Tampa. I just want the very end.
How hungry are you? How hungry are you?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Hungry are you? How hungry are you?
Speaker 1 (19:09):

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
How hungry are you?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
That question and answer went viral last night.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Everybody, I know, it's why we're playing it back.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
He'll hungry?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Are you so hungry?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You have to eat, don't you? It's hungry for dim sum?
Where'sss a? How hungry are you?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
But if asked the question, and I pardon me if
you guys already mentioned this, but he was fourth yesterday
We had talked about whether or not he'd be maybe
one or two question. Jim Hill went one and then
the beat writers kind of went two three if.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
They jumped him, and I think was gracious. He knew
he was gonna get a one on one.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
And as soon as they went to the back and
they said, you know, David in the back, David seventy
Snell just start laughing.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh, everything changed, right, That's why I'm here. Dog.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He saw his hunger in his eyes.
Speaker 2 (20:13):

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Sell itthon joining us right now. One of our dearest
friends on the show and one of our most prized segments,
True where we learned from a great Hall of famer
what he means to the city and of course the
state of North Carolina and basketball as a whole is
one of the greatest players of all time is unparalleled
(22:36):
and now an Emmy winning broadcaster at Spectrum Sportsnet. He's
on tonight Lakers in Miami. I guess Austin Reeves got
punched on the pelvis. Nobody could play through a pelvis
punch like the great James Worthy joining us on the
Petrosen Buddy Show on AMPI seventy LA Sports. What's cracking, James?
(22:57):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
All good?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Man?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
All good? You know, just a little bit disappointing, and
you know what what boys are doing, but you know,
trying to trying to keep em ahead. Man, No disappointing.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's kind of felt that way. Uh, you know, sort
of like a holding pattern, like you're waiting to land
at the uh the airport for a while. Uh. With
the Lakers, Uh, I mean now that you look at
the team and you see that they had the same
record as Darbnham did last year. Uh, do you see
any I mean, they they pretty much look like the
same group of dudes.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Well when they play the way they played in the past,
meaning you know, a little bit stagnant on offense.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
There was a game of a couple of games ago
when ad only had one shot I believe in the
fourth quarter that looked very familiar to something we've seen
in the past. And you know, uh, the theme is
we're gonna run everything through a D and I think
their chances are really better. But the offense is not
(24:09):
the issue. I mean, there's some things they can improve
on offensively, but defensively, you know, the way they jumped
out of the gate this season. You know, I thought
Reddick and I still think Reddick is doing a good job.
I mean I don't I don't think this is a
coaching thing. You know, giving up thirty something points plus
(24:30):
thirty points in the third quarter, you know, having a
little lead and have time and only to have that
same old story. So you know, that's you know that
that's a player issue. We can't talk about, you know, injuries,
and I know that's a part of it, but uh,
(24:53):
it's you know, it's early and teams have, teams have
scouted them. You know, nobody's nobody's leaving. Uh, don't connect anymore.
They're not leaving him. They're staying at home. So they
they've gotten kind of familiar with what they're running. So
now it's up to the Lakers to figure out how
they're going to deviate to get back to you know
(25:15):
what they were showing us that first week. Now they
were playing some sub part teams, and that gives you
a measure. When they played Phoenix, when they played Denver,
they played Oklahoma, that gives you a measure. But you
know they have to find a way that defensively have
some type of identity.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, you mentioned defense, James, and I kind of think
about it's. Look, if it's Anthony Edwards, it's Anthony Edwards.
But when you got a rookie like Terrence Shannon just
kind of taking an inbounds pass and running right up
the floor and throwing a dunk down on your head
and you're you're Gabe Vincent and you're just giving them
the old oh lea. I gotta believe it's it's plays
like that that that would be you know, shown and
(25:59):
reshown as to you know, kind of where's where's the effort.
I I don't mean to nitpick, God knows, I couldn't
keep up with a guy like Terren Shanna. Not mean
to say that, but it just seems like there have
been way too many of those moments this season, those
highlight real dunks or fast breaks where seemingly they're just
not ready, they're not waiting for it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Yeah, lack of effort, lack of effort, not getting back
on defense after a turnover. Uh, sometimes not getting back
after a may basket. So I don't know what that is. Uh,
you know, you're you're right. Too many in the in
the in the in the paint points. And Orlando came
(26:43):
in without their star player. Now other team seems to
do okay with with with it without certain players, and
you know, it's it's it's a it's a it's something
that I know Reddick is pointing out, this guy comes
from coach K and Coach K was a main you
(27:04):
know he was he was tough. So I know he's
telling everybody. But it's got to transfer to the court.
So that's that's player from top to bottom can't have
these lags. Man, It's whoa, it's it's it's not something
that is going to you know, get them respect around
(27:24):
the league. You know, with teams when they think you're
gonna you know, lay down in a third quarter, they
you know, that's that's not a good that's not.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
A good good feeling James, how much of that like
just thinking of Dave Vincent. I mean, here's a guy
that was signed to a pretty meaty deal for a shooter,
for a role playing guy that was getting you know,
between twenty and twenty five minutes off that heat bench
and turned himself into a solid defender's good three and
D guy. You know, he's making thirty five thirty seven
percent of his shots and man just has not worked
(27:54):
out here for whatever. I think it's ten percent or
seventeen percent or something like that. It was a really
no low number last year. How much of that transfers
over to the defensive side when this guy just cannot
get his shot to fall that's what he was signed
to do. He's dropped ten minutes per game from what
he was getting in Miami and it's starting. Does that
work in Is that something that happens in conjunction? Hey,
(28:15):
the SHOT's not falling. Now, this guy's kind of letting
it up a little bit here on defense as well.
We have figure out how to get this guy going.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, I think I think the other night when Reeve
was out, de Lo was out a lot of guys.
I don't know if he started it up. He played
maybe thirty minutes twenty seven to thirty minutes. Now, when
you're getting five minutes here, six minutes here, he still
(28:46):
had to produce. But he's a player that you give
him minutes, he's more productive. In Miami, he was getting
more production. But the minutes that he has, he's got
to focus on that and he's got to be a
little bit more productive. He's a bench of player, you know.
Derek Fish and I talk about this this all the time.
You give an NBA player more minutes, he'll find ways
(29:08):
to be productive. But if he's not playing a night,
if he's playing six minutes here, I'm definitely not for
he gotta knock down. She gotta be ready, you know. Yeah,
your phones always got to be on the hook. So
he does have to produce. Miami system, for whatever reason,
was more catered to him. You know, they didn't really
(29:31):
have a dominant ball type of guy, and so they
it was a little bit more motion I think. But nevertheless,
Vetcham players who have been paying a nice bag have
to come out and perform consistently, night in and night out.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
The one and only James Worthy of dear friend of
the Show, bringing the real truth on The Petroson Money
Show you can see him tonight on Spectrum Sports Net.
Has been struggling for threes, like oh for his last
nineteen But did I miss this thing where he said
he was gonna play in every game this year? Where
he made that proclamation, and uh, doesn't it seem like
(30:12):
he if anybody should have a night offer to it
should be Lebron James? What what do you make of
that situation? James?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, I think they I think they're gonna, they're gonna
they're gonna give that a second thought because his greatest
shape is the ind and what he does more than
anybody in the offseason. I mean, this guy comes in
on game days like four hours before it does these
crazy Kobe Bryant workouts, right, So, but nobody, you know,
(30:45):
father time is not an injury, you know what I mean.
It's not like you're breaking an ankle a year. It's
father time is it's something else. I remember Father time
got me when I was taking off from the free
throw man like I used to take off for my
and I just remember descending about halfway there. They turned
(31:05):
into a finger row that you know, And there was
no pain, there was no injury. It's just wear and tear,
and I think some of the shot selection, some of
the threes. I know, some of the turnovers that used
to look like clear as day Now you know sometimes
that's fatigue that you don't know about. So you know,
(31:27):
he's got to figure out a way to produce efficiently,
and he did the last game. I mean, Lebron is,
I mean, he's a wizard when it comes to that.
But I think over time and leading this team, I
don't think eighty two games. If there's anything that that
defines load management, you look in the dictionary that Lebron's
(31:51):
photos should be. Besides, if anybody needs it, he does.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, just to build on that a little bit, James
and for whatever reason, and people feel like it because
you know, he's someone that's a bit polarizing. He's in
the conversation is the greatest player ever, So if you
compliment or you criticize, it's going to be met with
derision from the other side. It does feel like and
it should. He's in his twenty first season, He's going
(32:16):
to be forty years old in a couple of weeks.
Like it should look like it's starting to slow down.
I do feel like, compared to last year, though it does.
I hate even saying it because I don't want to,
but it does look different this year, doesn't it. It
looks like it's a little bit different this year compared
to last year.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Well, when he came out of the box with those
what three or four triple doubles in a row. Yeah,
you know that kind of that kind of like overwhelmed people.
But Lebron can get a triple double, I mean easily.
I mean, I'm not saying I'm not taking anything away
from it because I have one and my whole career
(32:58):
and he had three or four in a row. But
it doesn't take away from the minutes played to travel
on a back to back game for a veteran player
with that many miles. It's just little things. You don't
even see it. It's not on the injury report. It's
(33:18):
just it's just there. Uh. Sometimes you don't want to
you know, you don't want to get back, you know,
and sometimes it's just sometimes you might take a break
on offense, you know what I mean, you might stand
in the corner and wait for it. So, I don't know,
Lebron's never going to give in to fatigue or two old.
(33:43):
He's mentally, he can't do that. It's just not going
to work in his paper. But having seen Kareem and
having you know, myself, and you know, like you know
now watching guys who who have injuries, you know, like
Kawhi Leonard, you know, you know, I know that in me,
you know. So it's the same thing with Lebron. I
(34:04):
think sometimes when I see turnovers five turnover, six turnovers,
sometimes I think that's fatigue. That's just my opinions.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
And James, let's last one. And we certainly appreciated the
just expectations, you know, the expectations that were placed upon
JJ Reddick and this team and Lebron and Anthony Davis,
and I know it's still wairly, it's a quarter of
the way through the season, but you look at the
top and it's a lot of familiar It's the Oklahoma
(34:34):
City Thunder read the best record last year. It's the
Mavericks who were in the NBA Finals last year. We
knew the Grizzlies were going to be better with the
return of John Morant. The Suns we knew would probably
figure it out if they could get healthy. Like how what,
like where do you think the expectation should be. And
I don't bring that up to like project what it's
going to look like in April, but just kind of
to project about the load management, about figuring out how
(34:56):
to ride this roster, and what's a realistic number for
the regular season if you want this team to at
least have a shot in the postseason? Sit should we
be thinking about a top six seed? Should we be
thinking about just hey, just get into the play in,
be healthy, and then take your chances when the playoffs
run around come around? Like, where do you think the
head space should be?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
In my opinion, based on the ross that they have,
they shouldn't be looking at anything below six, you know,
making the the change put Delil on the fence with
which I think he's accepted and starting to play into
that role that can be productive. I don't know what's
gonna happen with Woods coming back, but you know, I
(35:41):
think you know, a couple of weeks ago, man, we
were in second place, yeah in the West, and I
was like, lord, I haven't felt that since you know,
the nineties, almost it feels like. But I looked at
the schedule as well, and I said, Okay, they're gonna
be they're gonna get tested with the schedule, go out
on the road, five games in seven days. They can't
(36:03):
be looking anywhere below six. They can't be looking at
playing and all that. They're good enough, they really are.
If Freddick can continue to, you know, get them to
understand what they need to do nine in and night
out for four quarters or at least three and a
half strong quarters. And let your let your bad half
(36:26):
of the quarter. If you're going to have a lull,
let it be in the you know, the first quarter,
or you know, maybe in the second. Don't let it
be in the third and fourth. You just got to
keep preaching that and running it through a d and yeah,
that's that's that's the plan.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
The Great James Worthy, you'll be on TV in a
matter of moments. Lakers in Miami. Always great to catch

Bjay's Restaurant in brew House from two to five and
you asked for the secret textosal line I We'll give
it to that's right now, Matt. A lot of people, uh,
and I know you're apped very, very eager to defend yourself.
But a lot of people were just a little skeptical
(39:28):
about your Magic City story. And at the Strip Club
in Atlanta, Yes, famous strip club. There's some texts regarding that,
brought to you by your Southern California Toyota.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Do uh just I guess quick reset. I didn't know
that to eat wings at Magic City you had to
go into the strip club. I was under the electressian that. Yes,
I was under the impression that if there was like
a takeout area where you would just eat the wings
and not go into the strip club. That's how it
was sort of presented to me, and I accepted.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I swear I thought the Buddy Ranch was the place
I could buy rabbits quote unquote voice of the Bolts,
Matt Moneys.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
My kids love bunnies. I just wanted to get him
a new pet.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Catching up with the podcast, glad to hear Money got
his eye transplant. I don't believe they transplanted Matt's eye.
I haven't seen him yet. I don't think he's got
one weird eye or anything.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I look.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
That I could pitch.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
In all the years listening to the show, I've heard
some wild stories from Hartman trying to make you cock
somebody that happened to Vic selling bootleg perfume in the
heart of the Soviet Union during.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
The Cold War.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
We don't think that happened Colin.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Bs on that, but those and any future stories will
never shock me as much as money eating wings with
Lou Williams at Magic City thanks Giving a weekend. What's
the turkey recipe? Next year? Stopped the brine and butter
and had the Magic City for a twelve piece of
lemon pepper and getting lost in Brandy's arm. Uh you know, Matt,
(41:20):
it was. It was nonchalantly delivered, nonchalantly delivered.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I didn't think people were gonna doubt me. I thought
I was just gonna be humiliated, as you called me
a stiff booty Leroy, Well.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Stiff boot shows up in Magic City.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I'm thinking, I'm just gonna get some wings at the
take I win to and take this uber back?
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Who told you that there was like a wings station
there that you wouldn't have to go in? If why
wouldn't they take all the advantage in the world if
you did all the money they can instead of just
selling you.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Wing yeah, think about it.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
I know.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
I guess I had just assumed that this is like
a there, that's where you aft up. You assumed I did.
If they were famous for their wings.
Speaker 6 (42:02):
Yeah, hey, Matt, were they good wings? I don't think
you ever addressed whether or not they were.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Actually I didn't have any Wait a second, wait a second. Yes.
I was so upset by the whole thing and so
uncomfortable that I was like, listen, I just want to
go in the corner and I'm gonna watch this Georgia
Tech Georgia game and I'm gonna drink my beer. And
like they brought the wings to the table and there's
(42:30):
a naked woman dancing like.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
You're supposed to eat. Yeah, suck, you're supposed to suck
the chicken meat off that exactly while you watch somebody's
open orifice wave in your face.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
It was not the setting for me to consume wing.
It was like, no, I don't want them now, and
everyone's like, stop being a bitch, I just eat the
damn wings. They're really good. And the one person I
was was like, really good wings, these are really good wings.
I was like, yeah, that's great. You can have them all.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Petres I thought, if you spank it too much, both
your eyes would have to be replaced.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
No, I only went depends if you use both hands
or not.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
I'm sure Mac goes to Hooters for the wings as well.
Giant eye roll ensues.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
And we went to Hooters because we were paid to
go to Hooters. That's why we went to Hooters.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
I was really hoping for a review on the Uncle
Jeff Honey jerk wings.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
No, they brought the lemon pepper. They said that those
were their signature wings.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
Oh, the lou Will lemon pepper barbecue.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
There you go, named after lou Will, who was eating
them at the end of the bar. I did not
eat them with him. I just saw him there.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
I cannot consume these. I cannot after seeing your open orifice.
It's right here, you tell Matt right here? Can you
tell Matt to slow down a little when he's telling
his story about the naked woman?
Speaker 2 (43:51):
She was. She had quite a bit of art adorning
her torso she wore very she wore undergarment, undergarments below
that covered very little of her her undercarriage, and then
(44:12):
a takeout tray that you would find in like a
cafeteria or a Chinese restaurant with some lemon pepper wings
are delivered to our table, and she was dancing in
front of us.
Speaker 6 (44:23):
That game went to eight overtimes. At what point did
everybody just stop what they were doing? The dancing stopped,
and you all gathered around the TV.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
There was one person who did that cats and he's
talking right now. Nobody else gave a good goddamn.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
Did you look around like, hey, guys over here, I
did not overtime seven.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I was trying to hide, was trying to hide from everybody.
I felt like a fool. And that's the truth.
Speaker 6 (44:45):
Hey, Cinnamon, they stuffed him on that two point conversion.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
All right, I'm gonna believe Matt, my radio partner of
almost twenty years. I'm not gonna I'm no longer gonna
read the I'm calling bs.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
It's fair to call bs. Everybody. When I told them
the next morning, when they had heard that I went
and I didn't know that it was a strip club,
it was like, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard,
said I how it was sold to me? How hungry
are you? I'm very hungry because I didn't eat wings.
Because this woman's rectum was right next time to put
(45:16):
them in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
I'm not hungry enough. A couple more days of not
eating mad, you'd eat those wings right in front of
that woman's bush.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, you're probably right. So is that like a cat
claw right there on your booby or what is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Come on, like Eve the Rapper?
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Yes, there was. That's exactly what she had going.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Mail me mal mail me me on me' all. So
he went to the wing, he went for the wings,
and then he didn't have any No, he just had
some booblin. And we're supposed to believe, yes, but this
wasn't the plan.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yes, that's what you're supposed to believe. I consumed an
SEC eight overtime contest sec acc rival regame.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I mean a lot of people. I mean Matt, Wow,
I know I would never say, Matt, you're a stone
cold liar like that didn't happen? Didn't happen?
Speaker 6 (46:11):
Did you guys get a bottle or you just go
by the shots or the six dollars service domestics bottle?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
I had, I believe somewhere around four to five stellas.
It's just so I could really cement my place in Hey,
this is who I am at Magic City, all right.
I'm the white guy.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Drained eight hundred dollars, eight hundred dollars for a bottle
of Tito's. These are thirty dollars at the liquor stores
in La What is this place?
Speaker 2 (46:39):
It's a learning experience.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
We are your I like to eat wings right by
your open orifice. I'll see you at Happy I heard
