Speaker 1 (01:53):
I'd like I have one question. I have a question
at the bar. I have a hankering for a hot Todd.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Can they make you? I mean, it's not that hard
to make a hot Toddy? Is it? Can somebody get
me a Maker's Mark hot Toddy? Is it Ski week?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I feel a little cold inside, Matt. I want a
hot Toddy. I don't go skiing, but I was in
the snow over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Let me go get my fox tights in my bowle
at helmet so they can sit here and suck back
some hot toddies.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Would somebody make me a hot toddy? Is it so
hard to make a hot poddy? Perhaps you can order
me a hot toddy and Matt will.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Need some cash.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Looks like there's a celebration behind the bar. It's somebody's birthday,
or maybe an anniversary or a graduation, or they were
asked a prom or I don't know something, but it's
it's your birthday, all right.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I just I was just look, I don't want to
order something live on radio, but I want.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
A hot toddy? Is that so hard? No? Thank you?
All right?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
We got Don McClain, We got a lot more great
sports talking. We're going till five o'clock eat sports talk.
As Matt said, who is hungry? I know what your
thirst is. Your thirst is for Dodger content, isn't it?
You want Dodger stuff. Fasse came on yesterday and said
that they're gonna they're gonna re up with TiO scars.
What he heard we pushed him into answering the question.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
People got excited about that when we mentioned it in
here what.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
It means for them to make a trend script.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
So we did that yesterday and then wet everybody's beak
like a big stork. And now there's even more Dodger
news with the word of the day.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
His words. The word of the day. Today's word of
the day is Okie Nawa.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yes, Dave Roberts, Southern California's Coach of the Year manager. Actually,
if we had to have one, is in right now
oki Nawa being honored. Oki Nawa is an island in
Japan's Q Shoe region. Roberts is also in Japan to

(04:03):
appear in a commercial for Kenosheita Conglomerate Group.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
So he's doing a commercial like.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
The Hedge Fund, the Guggenheim Partners of Okinawa.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
They make like all kinds of stuff, and he's gonna
do It's like, you know, Philip Morris, Sure he's gonna
do a.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Commercial like a Johnson and Johnson and Matt you know,
you found a couple pieces of it. We happen to
pull the audio.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
We do have the audio of Dave Roberts negotiating with
the Kenoshida Group Ltd. That same would be fine together
on each that time, Sam, what do you wants?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
You forget? You betray me?

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I was only eighteen years old.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Unresputable phone.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Explained why I leave.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Here's why you leave this. I've ate you make it.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
And then Sato just stares at him what you want
and walks away.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, now that was not actually Dave Roberts.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well then what you say it was? That's who I
thought it was. I was like, it is not going
well over there.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I made a mistake.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
It's much much more celebratory tone. Here's Dave Roberts in Okinawa.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
I was born in Naha. I have okinaw in blood
and will always be home for me. Family is everything.
There's respect, there's love, and that's something for me. That's

(05:51):
part of who I am.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Posit real quick.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
We all know it's very important when you're speaking to
people that maybe English isn't their first language, like Japanese people,
to speak very.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Slowly exactly right, because that translation. I'm gotta figure it out.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
And everything I do with my job, I take the
Okinawan people with me. Winning the World Series for the
Los Angeles Dodgers the city of Los Angeles was incredible,
an incredible challenge, but The final piece for me was

(06:28):
to come to Naha to be with my people and
celebrate with you guys together. So now my journey for
twenty twenty four is finally complete.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
So thank you, beautiful congratulations Dave. Now, is it doing
as much for Okinawo as karate Kid too?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Did? No? No, but guys, but it's certainly a hell still.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Impactful, perhaps make gift and good for Dave Roberts going
on the Victory Land the tour.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Enjoy it. It's been long enough he didn't get a
chance to do it in twenty twenty. He might as
well get it out of the way here in twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Knock it out. And usually when we come here in
order of hot Toddy, Yeah, where's my hot Toddy?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Usually when we come here, uh, high school football coaches
or something will come. But today we've even attracted a
more higher calling. The priest of the local Greek Orthodox
church here in Downey, Saint George's or Saint Jorgo, says
we would call it a nostosios floctus. Here Tommy father,

(07:41):
Tommy who I grew up with. He's here and maybe
the magal garments have really changed. He's not at his
he was at where a quarters at. I think he
was visiting the Foster homes just a little while ago.
So uh, he's gonna maybe come after we talk to
Don McClain or something and give up blessing.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
To the people.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
We'd love that for a holiday blessing father. Maybe all right, okay,
Tommy for you lock too. The Great Priest is here
from Saint George's. Which way is Saint George's this way
or that way?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
This way? That's no.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
You just pointed at the donuts. There's a bakery. I'd
like to put it at the bakery. There's a bakery.
I want for you guys.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
At the bakery.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
There's a place not to get the holy bread down.
Let you bless these doughnuts. I just picked up not
doing the donuts right up the road.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Thank you Tommy for being here, God blessing.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yes, Kate, we do have some more Dodger news, guys,
would the last two minutes here the Dodgers put it
out there that earlier today Freddie Freeman underwent surgery what
on his right ankle, consisting of the bridement and the
removal of loose bodies.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
The surgery is performed and job.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
He's expected to be a full participant and ready to
go for spring training.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Beautiful. None of applause there, none.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Of applause there Any update on TiAl Scar Hernandez.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
No update on taotkcar. I don't know why everybody wanted
to run with it. My god, it's.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Fine looking around here.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Here's my number.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I've adjusted my uh, I've adjusted my number of the day.
And because I am of a diminutive stature, all right,
So we've got rams, we got a lot of Dodgers,
we got some iron maidens dive from we got Ashton Gent,
we got some Raiders, we got chargers, we got Dodgers,

(09:34):
more raiders.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Your number of the day is zero. Damn you.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
You know you ruined it? What hide that thing? Hide
that thing? Maybe this is the first time I think
we've done a remote where nobody is wearing Laker gear.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Double Broncos.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
We got Broncos Broncos and they're not playing tonight. It's yes,
I know she had to ruin it, but there's one person,
but you wear it all the time, that's your standard.
And her hair is purple like your hair's purple. Like
some people that are older their hair's purple. But your
hair's purple, like really purple.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I think I think you get where I'm going though,
I thought it was zero now that I've stood up.
But we've got Dodger, Dodger, Dodger, Dodger, Raider, Raider, Charger,
Bronco Like. It's the least amount of Lakers gear that
we have seen in years and doing these shows normally
there's a ton of Laker gears scattered out in the
bar when we do the BJ's Restaurant in brew house appearances,

(10:29):
and man, we are in the midst of the NBA season.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
We are twenty two games in November, twenty two games in.
I mean we're a quarter of the way into the season.
You got Lebron James on your team, Anthony Davis, they
drafted his son. Are alleging that people care less about
the Lakers now in the city of Los Angeles, because.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
That is exactly what I am alleged. I'm alleging it
is the lead. The success of the Dodgers, combined with
the a holary of Lebron James, has led to maybe
the least amount of people dusting off or sh shaking
out a Laker T shirt or sweatshirt and throwing it
on and walking around town with their chest puff and.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
We do a sports show.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
There's at least dozens and dozens of people here, and
we have more Broncos representation for Denver than we do
the LA Lakers.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
How about that. We might even have more representation for
iron Maiden there we do exactly the Lakers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
In fact, Saint George's Greek Orthodox Church has as much
representation here as the.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
LA Exactly right. And it's a good point. At Saint
George's they have an iron Maiden. But you know what,
there's that's not the case.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Be awesome if the Spanish Inquisition was clearly Catholic, had
nothing to do with the Greek Orthodox Church.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Nothing. Where is my hot toddy? I don't think you're getting.
I mean you're getting. What does that guy have to
do get a hot toddy around here?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Probably head up to Mount Water, that'd be my guess far.
It's probably the closest mountain.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
All right, Roddy, this is the song of the day.
The Blasters are Rockey League fit for a poll?

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Bye from Downte, California. Yes, even the day called shaking.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
What's crocking, Don? How are you?

Speaker 6 (15:26):
It sounds fun in there, like you guys have called
me from remotes before, But that one sounds.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Loud popping off here Downy. They're getting after it. Yeah,
a lot of boost. Yeah, we got a we got
a real cross section of the people here in the
beautiful gateway city of Downey, California.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Don, but uh.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
I mean, you played at the NBA for ten years,
don and you won an award and all that most
improved Player, And I would imagine every once in a
while you had a night where you guys got blown
out by thirty or or blew somebody out by.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Thirty or even forty that does that happen a lot?
I mean, is that a real score? When that happens?

Speaker 6 (16:00):
When he mad Well, I unfortunately played for the Washington
Bullets from nineteen ninety two to nineteen ninety six, so
there was a lot of forty point games in there
in those four years. But I think when there's expectations,
I think when there's when there's expectations for.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
You to be a good team.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
And I'm not saying the best team in the West
or anything like that, but a good team, a playoff
worthy team, then forty point losses become more magnified. And
I think, especially with JJ Reddick being so early in
his career, everybody's watching every move and seeing how he's doing.
And you know, the wins and losses obviously are easy
to see, but like how's the team reacting? Are they

(16:41):
playing for them? Are they playing hard every night? Or
they move in the ball all those things that you
that you talk about when you when you bring in
a new coach and then you get blown out by
forty and like it's the message being received. And I
watched some of that, some of his press conference last
night on one of the channels, and what I didn't

(17:01):
like was like where was the we're going to fix
this kind of thing. It was like, these guys need
to take an ownership, they need to do this, they
need to do that. Like, no, let's let's fix this.
And I think that when you have a veteran team
sometimes you trust them more than maybe you should. And
we'll see what happens. But it certainly wasn't a good

(17:23):
look last night.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
No, I just kind of dig it into that even more.
Don the last two. I think it was the Timberwolves. Yeah,
the Timberwolves was the game prior where they had some
serious defensive lapses, and I mean this was pretty bad.
I know, you can get it out of context because
people will clip you know, the three or four really
bad defensive possessions, but you know you got guys on
runouts that just they're unimpeded. I mean there's guys flatfooted

(17:48):
walking down the floor is that, Like, is there is
there any reason to read more into that than just hey,
this guy's just weren't into it that night, because it
certainly when it happens in back to back games and
you got that giant and then last night that wide
open layup, it seemed like there's just maybe a little
something more.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Well, there is those nights. Let's let's start with that.
Like there it's an eighty two game schedule, it's a
long season, and whether fans want to hear it or not,
there are those nights where you just don't have it
for whatever reason. So I think it's a little early
to jump on. They're not the train of they're not responding,
they're not buying in, they're not doing this, they're not
doing that. But I think if we get to you know,

(18:28):
January to the trade deadline and it's still happening, then
maybe maybe it's not being received. But you know, again,
when there's expectations, this is what comes with it.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
The we brought this up a little bit earlier just
you know, Gabe Vincent was signed. It had a great
not great, but you know, it's a very valuable player
for the Miami Heat. Helped him get to an NBA finals,
played well in that playoff run. He was there sort
of one of their three point snipers, and it just
has not worked out. I think you shot like twenty
two percent last year. He's a seventeen percent or so

(18:58):
this year. His minutes of been cut. He's kind of
been the guy on the receiving end of both of
those sort of plays. The dunk and the layup. Is there,
you know, because that's what JJ was. I don't know
if I'm trying to draw this thing out too much,
but JJ is one of the best shooters you know
of his era, really of any era. Do you think
there's something there where he's like, you know, come on, man,

(19:19):
you got to do better than this, And there could
be his minutes have been restricted it.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Maybe I found it odd that he's the guy that's
kind of been really the most flat footed on d
and really having a rough go on this stretch.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Well, you know why they brought him in, and it
made sense when they did, because you have to surround
Lebron with shooting, and he proved that he could shoot Miami.
The difference is a guy like Gabe Vincent coming from
UC Santa Barbara undrafted. The underdog kind of not mentality,
but he was an underdog to even make it in
the league. In Miami, those guys are celebrated and there's

(19:55):
no pressure to be good like you work that you
hear about the heat culture, you work and hopefully you
get good enough that you can be in the rotation
and you can play. And it's just a whole different thing.
So now you come to LA and there's all this
expectation of what you did Miami, you're going to do
in LA and you know, arguably the biggest franchise in
the NBA, it's LA, It's Hollywood, it's all these things.

(20:16):
It is a way different thing when you're a shooter
coming into that situation, coming from Miami, where there wasn't
a lot of expectation. You were the underdog and you
made it and he did great because you worked in
the culture and all that stuff. And so the last
thing you want to do to a guy that can
shoot is talk about his shooting because it just puts
more pressure on him. So I just wonder what the

(20:38):
conversation is with him. But you're right, Matt, if you're
not guarding and you're not making shots, and you were
brought here to make shots, then you probably shouldn't be playing.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, we brought this guy in for his big puzza
and he can't get a wreck. I mean, the great
Don McClain is our guest and we're happy to have him.
We're here live at the Bjay's Restaurant in bro House
and in California.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
I got my hot Toddy. Thank you to the people
at the bar. God bless you all. I need some
cash to tip him out. I don't think I got cash.
We don't really get some cash, Don.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
It's interesting, you know, we watched Lebron defy the clock
for so many years.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Did he wake up old last week or something? What
happened out there? Don?

Speaker 6 (21:24):
I don't think so. I mean, I don't think he's
as explosive as he once was, but you know, the
productions still there. The numbers were there last night. I
do think the consistency of his production, because of his
age and how many years he's been in the league,
is natural. I don't think you can expect him to
play at the level that he's played at for so
long every single night. The shooting's a little weird because

(21:47):
usually when guys everyone in the NBA. When they get older,
they lose some of their athleticisms, so their shooting becomes
even better because it has to become better because they
can't rely on their athleticism as much more.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
So.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
That one's a little perplexing because when you slow down
and you're used to bulldozing guys and getting buy them
and dunking at the rim for the last twenty years,
now it's well, let me just shoot over the top
of this guy so that I don't have to expend
all that energy going through guys and getting contact and
doing all that other stuff. So I don't know what
that's about. But he's proven to be a very good

(22:22):
three point shooter, so I wonder if he just doesn't
he needs a game or a half or a quarter
to get back on track.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
I asked James, word, is it worthy this? Yesterday? Before
the game, don I'll ask you. And you know, they
got off to a quick start. People were excited, and
maybe that raised expectations a little bit higher than they
should have been. Now they're sitting in the nine spot.
They're just a game back of six, but they're also
just a half game up of being out of the
playoffs altogether. I said, you know, what's what's the right

(22:51):
expectation for this team? Is it a playing game team,
is it a playing tournament team? Is it a top
six seed? Like when you look at it as they
go through this rough stretch, what do you think they
are and now that we've kind of got a third
of the season or the season out of the way.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yeah, it's hard to say, Matt, because you could go
down the list of all the teams bunched up in
the top ten in the West and say, what's your expectation.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure what it is. Because
if you can separate yourself and rip off six, seven,
eight games in a row, you're probably going to be
in first or second place by the end of that.

(23:24):
So I think it just comes down to that. So
to me, the question is can the Lakers do that?
Can they rip off seven or eight games in a
row and show everyone that they are for real and
they are going to be a top six team. I
think whatever team or teams do that, you can say, well, yeah,
the expectations for you to be in the top six.
But right now, like the expectation of the Clippers, wasn't anything.

(23:47):
I think a lot of people didn't even think they'd
be in the playing and now they're in that same
conversation as the Lakers, like, what are they Are they
a playing team? Are they a top six team? Well?
If they can win seven or eight in a row,
they're top six teams.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Well, and they look like much more of a team
than the Lakers do at this point. Would you say that, don.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
Yeah, because they're not relying on on, you know, one
or two guys. It's it's it's more of a team now.
And it'll be interesting when Kawhi gets back how that
dynamic changes. But right now they're they're defending their asses off,
and obviously they didn't last night, but they have been
really guarding. Jeff Van Gundi deserves a lot of credit

(24:25):
for his work with that defense, but I think more
more than that, it's just James Harden has become that
guy again where he does whatever's necessary to win Norman Palace,
playing out of his mind, and then the rest of
the guys understand their role in they're and they're willing
to play their role to try and win games. And
that's for the most part what they've been doing.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
The amateur ranks, Don, and and it was a defensive
effort that left coach Cronin wanting Yet they got the victory.
I know, it's early, and it was the first big
ten tournament game. They'll play Oregon on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Blond mice, three blond mice. That was very, very unfortunate. Yeah,
it was. It was really he was having a victory
lap Burt. They wouldn't pay my right, that's right, yeah, Bert,
that's what they get.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
And that's what they're somewhere in a diner eating something
in celebration.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
He's right here staring at him done and he has
already polished off a ribi Brussels sprout mashed potato combo
plate and a puzzookie.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
So, yes, you're exactly right.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
He uh, he's still got two more hours.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Oh he's he's got at least another go ahead, Bert saying.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
I haven't eaten since my last meal.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
See what take my wife? He's got all his ingers.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Just it's Henny young Man. It's it's early again. Much
like the Laker conversation, Don, but just sort of what
you've seen from U. C.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
L A so far.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
And you know why, Laser you know Lazas is jumping
to try to block the shot of a five ft
eleven guy when's six foot Very unhappy, very unhappy about that.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
Yeah. Well, like the Clippers, they hang their hat on
the defensive end, and I think ever since that New
Mexico loss, they've really turned it up. And what's different
this year is before it was more of a possession
game and we're going to control the tempo, We're going
to get stops and we're not going to turn it
over so that we're gonna have more possessions than you
and that will win the game. This year, it's a

(26:21):
little different because they're a little more athletic, a little deeper.
They're trying to turn defense more into offense and playing
a little faster and turning people over their ball pressure.
They're they're picking up full court way more than they
ever have, and I think that they're getting better at that,
and I think it's going to continue where they turn
people over, get out and transition and score. But yeah,

(26:43):
they have I'm doing that game Sunday. It's a monster game.
If there is such a thing as a monster regular
season conference game in December, this is the game because
Oregon's number twelve in the country. Haven't lost yet. I
did their game last night, they beat USC So it's
going to be a really really good test for both teams.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
On is the Pac twelve all the modern guys, the
ones that are the best in the Big Ten, Like
Oregon isn't football?

Speaker 6 (27:07):
Don?

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Is that what's going on?

Speaker 6 (27:09):
I think Oregon is going to contend for the regular
season championship for sure. I don't know if they're gonna
win it, but they're gonna be They're gonna be there
at the end. They're they're really deep, they're really old,
which everyone wants to be now in college basketball, and
they got a lot of good players, and so I'm
not saying they're gonna win it, but they're they're they're
gonna be there at the end for sure.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
The great Don McLain, we do professional, we do amateur,
We do diner talk. We let Bert inject hilarious comedy.
You get a little bit of everything. That was kind
of weird scheduling though for UCLA, right it's like, hey, yeah,
but you got to go up to Oregon for one off?
What happened to the travel partners?

Speaker 6 (27:50):
I found this out a couple of weeks ago that
the Big Ten has always had a rule.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
I guess. It's a rule where there has.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
To be two days in between games conference games, so
there can't be a Thursday Saturday or you know, Friday Sunday.
It's always two days in between or more, I guess.
But if you look at everyone's schedule, it's like that.
It's like you play on Tuesday, and then you don't
play till Saturday, and then you don't play till Wednesday.
It's pretty spread out once you get into conference play,

(28:19):
which I think they kept that because of the travel
now adding these four West Coast schools. But yeah, it's
a little different than we're used to in the Pac twelve.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Whatever happened to our cool travel partner style? Don I mean, geez,
well that.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Went out the window when when you change conferences. How
they're doing it actually, if people want to know, is
so it's twenty regular season games in basketball, you only
play the four West Coast schools or only play each
other twice, so everyone else you play once. So Washington

(28:55):
will play UCLA home and road, washingtonill play USC home
and road. That kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
But then.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
You either comes to you gotcha, right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
So it's a little different in that regard, and they
did that to limit the travel. So there is kind
of travel partners, is what I'm saying, but not as
the whole league wide.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well explained Don McClain. We love you, Don and have
a great trip to Eugene, and we'll be watching on
the Big ten network. The people here and Downey at
the BJS love you Don all.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Right, guys, have fun, appreciate it that you're done. Have fune.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
We got a hot toddy father Tommy. Tommy's gonna come
and give us a blessing.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
I need it. In the very next segment, did he leave,
He left, Well, no, he was going.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Is what we gotta do is we got to have
like a bit of you know, we gotta have communion.
So he had to go get the bread to deliver
with the y. So no bread, there's no alter. We
can't perform the divine liturgy here, we can't. We do
it right on top of the not gonna hat, on
top of the pa.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Hey, he went to the bakery and he'll be back.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
So what I mean, body of Christ terrible shape, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible,
and I know what part of the body.

Speaker 1 (30:19):

next Madden? I am ay Ama.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
You talk about connecting events, Tommy.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Felocktu the priest here at Saint George's Greek Orthodox Church
in Downey, You had to cut out. He came, he
bought me a hot toddy. He did not give us
the on air blessing that I asked for. He couldn't
wait out the Don McLean interview. But I did get
this text, which says, is he related to George Philoctu
with his giant neck roll at PV high the same, Yes,

(32:46):
that is his brother, George Filloctu, one of the great
fire hydrant sized Greek running backs of all time. We
could not beat him from rolling hills high at PV
war the number two. He was a senior when Tassa
was a sophomore. He also played a little at se Uh.
That is George Fallocktu's brother. Correct. The Pelock two family

(33:09):
very very proud. Aland Cloth. Does Matt always say amateur
like that, like amateur? Ask him to say amateur.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Porn, amateur. I've always said amateur, amateur, amateur. That sounds weird,
amateur porn.

Dave Roberts as a My mom has reminded me that
Dave is half oaky Now in several times. Okie Now

(33:48):
is a very beautiful island. The beaches are pure white
coral and not sand, and I'll put them up against
those day Greek beaches any day.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
I have blood now. I don't know why the Greek
beaches have to be gay. What does that have to
do with anything?

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Just because there's a lot of gay people in Europe
that like the frolic on the beach in Greece, does
that somehow make our beach homosexual. I don't think that's
the case, So you hold your tongue. I don't think
he was suggesting the beach was gay. He said gay
Greek beach. I think he's saying, like, you go to
Greece and you go to the gay beach.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
This beach is not gay.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
I'm gay, and I'm going to go to the beach
because everybody there's gay.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
I'll tell you what's gay. He's okay. Now in beaches,
you see Daniel Larusso's dance.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
A Southern American trying to celebrate these cultures, and this
is what it devolves to. They're like, damn Iowa State
AD telling people to get off your lawn.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
You know what my credentials are, Iowa State AD.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
My girlfriend now wife, did a tea ceremony, a tea
ceremony for me back in the day. She knew Kumiko
was my first crutch from karate Kaing Part two and
she wanted to fulfill that fantasy for me.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Oh that's pretty cool, if you know what I mean.
I love karate Kid as much as you do. All right.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
I mean the thing is in the movie Laruso, nothing happened.
He didn't throw her down on the table and fulfill
the tea ceremony. The hurricane started and they had to
save Sato.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
You guys, remember this.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
It was so beautiful about it is. There is no
physical engagement, yet it was still this tender, romantic moment
between these two individuals. Can we not just operate on
a higher level? Does it always have to be She
grabbed his boots and went to down. I mean, come on,
that's what happened.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
You guys. Ever see the movie Hoosiers Stop? No, this
is the best. They left this out.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
There's a big sex scene between Gene Hackman and Babs Hershey,
right after he kisses her by the fields, where he's
like aha, He's like I want to kiss you like
that since the day I met you. And then it
just kind of pans off into the Indiana sunset or
what really happened as Hackman threw it down and die.
He wrapped off his shirt and like Willie the Gardener,

(36:05):
and the Simpsons, and he would crazy. They cut six
minutes out of Hoosiers. It was this six It was
a hardcore Hackman said, you saw the big patch of
