Vietnam is for you. It is the overall fourth least
obese nation in the world for total population. When it
comes to the female population, it is the least obese
nation on the planet. Two point one percent of the
(03:33):
ladies being labeled as obese.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Well what it makes sense because we know the longer
you squat in the bush, the more strength you receive,
and the longer that you stay in the hotel room
in Saigon and stare at the ceiling fan. The weaker
you become, and there's a lot of squatting on the bush.
You're gonna get strengthen in it, loose weight.

and fuller like over the years.

It's a little too close for my comfort with my
family being in the house. So we got personal security, uh,
to take care of all of that when we're on
the road. We got someone with my wife, got you know,
someone also at the house surveying the house. So just
to let that be known, they are arm So I
hope if you decide to go to my house, uh,
(10:04):
you think twice.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, I guess you let people know, whether you have
personal security or not, that they're armed, ready, willing and
excited to shoot.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
If we're being honest, I want you to break in.
I want that. That's what I'm paying them for. I'm
paying those guys to kill some bottle they break into
my house.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I'll leave the chocol line there for months. Bill Belichick
is officially the head coach at North Carolina. Come on
to raise up. It's a three year, thirty million dollar deal.
Here he is earlier at the presser when asked why
he wants to kill coaching at the right page of
seventy two.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I ask you this, respectfully, just hit seventy two. Why
do you want to keep coaching? What's in it for you?
Speaker 7 (11:08):
You've proven yourself over and over and your legacy of sale.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Why keep coaching, well, beat's working.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, when you love what you do.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
And my dad told me it's when you love what
you do, it's not work. Uh, it's really it's I
love what I do. I love coaching. I love the
interaction with the players. I love building a team, working
with the assistance, game planning, the game itself, which you know,
there's some good ones, there's some bad ones, but they're
all learning experience and working with you know, young kids
who with the energy, enthusiasm to want to be good,
(11:39):
to want to be successful. It's uh, you know, it's
great every day to wake up and come into that environment.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I didn't think you'd come right out and say the chicks,
the co eds, sorority mixers.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I got to be honest, guys, it's the strange.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's you guys. Have ever been to a golf night mixer?
You know, like the first hall is sex on the beach,
the second hole is a mud slide, the third it's
freaking awesome.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Jim, I'm glad you asked two words strange. Wool Boise
State quarterback Malachi Nelson.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I remember that dude, he bought his mama bag.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
He bought his mom his dream or dream Bag dream
Bag former number one overall prospect in the class at
twenty twenty three out of Losal entering the Portal again.
He went to USC but left after one season. Boise
State lost the job to Maddox Madson a freshman and
played in three games this season for the Broncos, so
(12:33):
he has a red shirt, still has some more on talent.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
He's in the portal riverside JC.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
No, somebody's gonna pay him. It's not that he's bad,
and he's not bad.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He's just getting beaten out.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Well, he got beat out by Mattson because Madson is
a guy who plays more within himself. They're a team,
obviously that has a chance to do great things. They
have a buy in the playoffs. They've They've been great
in every game, barely lost to Oregon because two kick returns.
Madson helps the offense be more conservative and Cutter calls it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That way, Malick, I want you to hand the ball
to Ashton right.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
They have a great running back and their coach is
a defensive coordinator in Spencer Danielson. So I don't subscribe
to oh my god, he's terrible. I've seen him play.
He still has that arm talent. He can still throw
it down the field and the ball jumps out of
his hand a bit, so we wish him luck.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Will will I be admired by how strad he throws it.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I wouldn't go that far. Okay, more to come on

Joining us now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline,
the BFF of the Petros and Money Show Basketball of
Ficionado and Man of the World, NBA Award winning player
leading scorer in the history of the PAC twelve, Big
Ten Network, Fan Duel Sports TV CIA, the one and
(14:43):
only Don McClain. The next ass he kisses will be
the first. The Lakers somehow have lost Lebron for a
while for personal reasons. He went from Saturday's going to
play in every game and now he's not on the team.
What a weird murky situation. What a tough deal for
poor JJ Reddick in his first year.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, and you wonder.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
I mean, there has been talk about it, and I
think we've talked about it, that maybe he doesn't have
the explosiveness that he wants out and he doesn't and
maybe managing his body as well as he's done it
throughout his career, maybe not playing in as many games.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
But who knows.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
When they say personal reasons, you don't know what it
could be. And we're not in those conversations, so we
have no idea. But certainly if anybody's earned time to
be away for personal reasons, it's Lebron James. But how
consistent he's been in the level he's played at for
so long.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We talked about it a little bit earlier this week.
Don that for whatever reason, and oftentimes you know, they
have inside scoops and there's a reason why they put
the topics on the table to debate. But seem like
national media wanted to talk about Lebron James getting traded
that the talk of him getting traded to the Warriors
is crazy because they're both so far over the cap
that they have to make everything match dollar for dollar.
(15:57):
Literally one team cannot take back one dollar more. That's
not gonna have it. But what do you what do
you make of that? Is that subtweed? Is that Lebron
planting seeds of discontent?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Like?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
What what do you think would lead to all of
that conversation and why we're talking about Lebron being traded?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
You know, Matt, I usually have answers for you guys.
I have no f an idea, you know, like I
just I don't know, you know, does he want to leave?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Who knows? Maybe they're not.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
It doesn't seem like they have a team.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
That can win a championship this year.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Okay, So I could see Lebron in that scenario realizing
that and saying, you know what, I got to get
somewhere where if I insert myself on this team, I
might be able to take them to the next level
and potentially win a championship. That that I could see. Now,
did he manufacture it?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Did his people? May?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
I don't know, but that to me is the only
scenario where it makes sense where he's looking around going,
you know what, this team ain't gonna win a championship.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Can I get to a team that could?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
We talked about and you know his personality well in
JJ Reddick and kind of things were great when they
were ten and four. Now they're not completely one of
the most uninspiring defensive performances we've seen in a long
time by you know, a team that has sights on
making the playoffs and potentially making a run against Miami.
He took to the lectern and talked about being embarrassed
(17:21):
and how his team should be embarrassed. Do you think
there's any issues there? Just kind of knowing what his
personality is When things start getting bad.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Well, this is where you might go back to. He
doesn't have any head coaching experience. You know, when things
are going good, anyone can coach. Right, you're winning, everybody's happy,
No one's saying anything. But when you start losing, that's
when experience as a head coach, I think comes in.
And I'm not saying he can't do it. I'm just
saying that's the first thing I think about, is like,
(17:50):
here's the adversity you've never you know, as a player,
he went through some adversity, I'm sure, but it's different
when you're an individual, you're not managing a team. And
so we'll see, We'll see how he reacts, We'll see
how the team reacts to this, and if he can
get him spun back around and playing better like they
were to start the year.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
If you had to guess, and you had to guess,
Don mcclainstown got gun to your head, will we see
Kawhi Leonard playing in an NBA game for the Clippers
in twenty twenty four, Yes, before christ.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I think, is that close?
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I think I think the way I think, the way
the schedules laid out, they had most of this week off,
they played Themorrow night, they play Monday, and then there's
a few other days off, Like there's days in between
there where I think he's getting real practice time in
Now I would I would actually be surprised if he
doesn't play before the first of the year.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Now, there have been allegations that I got Kate's sick.
Tim is sick and he's working a seven hour shift today.
More than that, you seem to be battling something. Don
Who are you playing to? Do you have a okay? Okay,
you're not I heard a couple of times. If you're
feeling all right.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Don't you put you don't you try and put your
sickness on me the radio?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Dude? All right, I'm feeling just fine.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I'm just saying I've been blamed and I haven't been
around you in weeks. So if you are under the weather,
I'm not taking the blame for that.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I don't get sick.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, you didn't get sick. You didn't go to the Midwest.
You'd playing your reindeer grab ass games.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, Pete, what are you trying to do today? Man?
You got me in the Midwest and the cold. Now
I'm sick. Got the sniffles like.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I mean you did? You coughed a couple of times,
don I mean you know? I mean people have been
sick around here. I jumped to a conclusion. I apologize
you did.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Sorry, jumped the serious conclusions.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
You know I've been jumping at conclusions about while Lebron's
out too. You don't want me to ask you about that,
all right? You know what, guys, I'm gonna try to
get this thing back on track. Yeah, you do that.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
If I wake up sick tomorrow, p I'm calling you
first thing in the morning.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Don, great, Don my plane, ladies and gentlemen, sick, not sick.
And he hasn't been in the Midwest and months and
it's great to talk to me.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Actually, I'll be in the Midwest in February, so I'll
keep you posted on that. I'll let you know what
I'm I'll let you know when I'm departing and.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Coming back in the status of your health.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yes, and I.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Will make sure that you know whether or not I'm
feeling great or not when I leave and when I
come back.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
That would be appreciated Don, especially before we do the interview,
so I don'm not made to look like a fool
on air. Today. It turns out I thought I had
nothing to do with it. Today it turns out I
single handedly fired twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Years ago in this room, and believe that totally forgot
about it not okay?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Really, Yeah, I was reminded that it didn't go how
I thought at all.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Hey, hey, just because you can get people fired doesn't
mean you can get people sick through the radio either.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, Pee, you know power you think you are?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Powers are only limited.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Dead Guy Birthday of the Day. Robert Norton, noie, the
old RNN happy It would have been ninety seventh there, Bobby,
A little tune in the background there from the Silicon
Valley Show. Because your smartphone, the personal computer, your Intel stock,
the trade war slash political platform of making chips in
(24:21):
our relationship with Taiwan. Yes, this guy nicknamed the Mayor
of Silicon Valley co founded Fairchild's Semiconductor in fifty seven,
Intel Corporation in sixty eight, and he is the guy
that named Silicon Valley Silicon Valley. Born in Burlington, Iowa,
he went to Grennell. He was a champion diver, and
(24:44):
he nearly got expelled for a prank. He stole a
twenty five pound pig from the Grinnell mayor's farm and
held a luau on their fraternity lawn. The mayor did
not find it funny. He wanted him arrested and told
the local paper quote in the state of Iowa was
stealing to domestic animals, a felony which carries a minimum
(25:05):
penalty of a year in prison and a fine of
one dollar. Thankfully, he was so smart that the chair
of the physics department, Grant Gail, went to bat for him, said, Hey,
we can't lose this guy. He's too smart, too valuable.
So they suspended him for a semester, and then Gail suggested,
maybe let's fast track you in and get the hell
(25:25):
out of here because people are kind of freaking out.
So he got him over to MIT. After graduating, he
joined William Shockley, co inventor of the transistor eventual Nobel
Prize winner, at the Shackle Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View, California,
and he was the leader of the traitorous Eight, the
eight employees of Shockley Semiconductor that said, hey man.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
You're real.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Hejo Bill, and nobody likes you, and so they left
and started their own company, Fairchild Semiconductor. In nineteen fifty nine,
Bobby invented a new type of integrated circuit, the monolithic
integrated circuit monolithic ice made of silicon, a first earlier
chips were made, as you well known from Germany. Yeah,
it took off.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I was waiting for you to get to it, as
we know.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Nine years later he left again, this time in sixty
eight to co found Intel, and that turned into a
powerhouse because of his vision, his brilliance, his reliance on silicon,
and his understanding of how to treat people, which in
turn attracted the field's brightest minds. At Intel, he oversaw
the invention of the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel four
Double four. President Ronald Reagan awarded him the National Medal
(26:31):
of Technology. He was inducted into the US Business Hall
of Fame by President George H. W. Bush. And if
you go to cal poly Slope, grabbing hand, grab all
they can, you will find the Noise School of Applied
Computing in the College of Engineering, thanks to a sixty
million dollar gift from him. Happy would have been ninety seventh,
(26:53):
Bobby Noise.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
All right, Matt beating out Sheila e.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Is.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
We already did knee Peoples this week, but we'll keep
a theme going with another jazz pianist. We recognized McCoy
Tyner yesterday. And it's a nice time of year to
enjoy great piano instrumental music from Jamaica, Queens, home of
the Mets and Juan Soto, but based in my home
(27:21):
state of West Virginia. And this guy's deep in West
Virginia too, not that Morgantown.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yes, but not possibly as deep as you.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Well, well he's born in Queens. You know he doesn't
have the mindes in his soul. But Bob Thompson, a
fabulous piano player, was in a group called the Chanteers
when he was in Queens as a young man, a
doo wop group, but moved to deep West Virginia to
Charleston and went to West Virginia State University, home of
(27:54):
the Yellowjackets. They offered me a scolio, but you turn
it down as I was here for the mine and
then of course going mountaineer days. At first, Uh, he
played the Bob played the trumpet.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I come to play for the Jackets? What am I
gonna do with my Coonskin played.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
With the trumpet and wareris Coonskin. Cap would switch to
piano to join a jazz band, where he flourished in
the very very hot West Virginia jazz scene. He put
out his first album in nineteen eighty one, Morning Star,
and then nine more. And of course I'm sure Bob's
quite concern that the entire Marshall football team right now
(28:37):
has entered the transfer portal because the coach was fired
and they're.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
All they're not the.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
All of them are in there. They're all. It's a
real herdman talent thereunder rich Rod is back at Morgantown.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
That's a bit pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
They all know in West Virginia and love Bob Thompson.
He's enjoyed playing the piano for local forecast. The segment
on the Weather Channel. That's him on the piano nationally
and since nineteen ninety one, Matt he is the featured
pianist on the West Virginia Public Broadcasting show which I
(29:16):
grew up watching, of course, big nationally syndicated, of course
show called Mountain Stage, which is great. It's a bunch
of albums on Spotify and Apple Music that you can
get of Bob just tickling the keys for all those
inbred people of West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And of course he well, you can say that because
you're from that. I can't.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Well, I can say that because I'm in bread. He's
in the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame. Hob's my sister.
It's weird. Bob Thompson a great pianist. So that is
our dad and a live guy birthday to day, and
that is our show. David Vasse will be coming on
(29:58):
next to give you all the latest. Ken Rosenthal validated
his t Oscar moment from last week. They're making their
way to each other quite slowly, the Dodgers and te Oscar.
