Big Ten schedule of basketball is challenging.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh oh, they got a cot to the West coast.
We're seventy degrees and you don't have to leave your hotel?
Are you stupid idiot reporter? I can't believe you would

breathing food.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They don't even have to change hotels, idiot. The schools
are thirteen miles apart. Oregon is in town to face

hot line by Oh they're cooking and we're gonna get

we're not gonna get him on and he's gonna freaking
harangue Josh LeWitt after the game, and it's Mustlessen radio,
son of a bitch. We'll be back on tomorrow one
with reaction. But right now, before we go any further,
(03:33):
make sure you podcast a show on the iHeartRadio app
or stream it live or follow us on all the
social media stuff. Very important to do that. It makes
us valid in the eyes of the world. You can
wake up to find that out, but right now it's
time for local knowledge.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Is knowledge, common knowledge, it's local knowledge.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up with.
As far as for with your.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Knowledge, well, it's not really in your jurisdiction anymore, Matt,
because El Segundo, that's they don't really creep down there.
But if you drive around the West Side, and I
don't much outside of the football season, go over to
the Fox lot. I'd like to go over there see
Acho and and Huel, Chase Daniel.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Two very likable individuals.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Keishawn who hates me, Paul Pierce, who doesn't know me.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I think the first two you mentioned. You want to
talk about humility, I mean they embody it. Chase, Oh, yeah,
somebody who really embraces the forty one million dollars he
made in the NFL as a good guy in the room.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'd like to see him supplementing his income on Pico
and motor Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's wonderful anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't get over there much in the off season,
but when I did this year, I did see one
of these. I talked about it, and it's a big
story today self driving cabs. Wait now, before we get
into a I know you want to say that a
lady got dragged and was critically injured.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But then you do not want to say that that
was not Weymo.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay, it was Cruise, all right, and that buried Cruise,
and Waimo came up.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Why there's no more Cruise, there's only Wymo.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Waymo's had well, Cruise is starting to test again, but uh,
Waimo has also had some issues. People have been balked.
Uh somebody around here never got dropped off. The thing
just kept circling in circles. I saw that at La.
I had to call for help. This started. And I
(05:37):
saw one in November, turning on motor I saw one
and I was like, is that like a Is that
like a movie car? Like are they shooting or something?
And I was like, no, wamo that Jaguar. Yeah, And
they're already in Phoenix everywhere else and they have already
(05:59):
driven and one point nine million miles here since you remember,
yes here, damn. And they're looking to expand like Tony, Montana,
we got to expand, Atlanta, Miami, Austin. They ain't going
to Houston, they get killed. Waimo has as you met mentioned, Matt,
those Jaguars one hundred of taxis in their fleet. Taxi
(06:26):
and there span in the city is seventy nine square
miles from the west side living Colin Cowherd type mostly west.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Sideuth Santa Monica down Samo.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It goes from downtown all the way to Samo down
to the Marina and weeho you know in between. So
I mean, I guess you can get a Waimo to
take you to the gaylord in mid city if you
want to have a grifters like interaction with some What.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
If I want to boys night out at the mother
Load there on Santa Monica, Bulevard will take you there.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, you're great, go there right now. I want to
do right now. So that's why I've seen him. And
until this week, Matt, the taxis have been purely like
a Victor Brick of a different time, the mobile Victor
Brick in that they only have traveled on the side streets.
(07:25):
Like vic he was definitely afraid of the freeways. He
was and he only traveled in the side streets, which
is why it took him maybe an hour and ten
minutes more on every trip to get anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Two hours fifteen minutes to get to Anaheim with a
broken air conditioner.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Right because of the side street issue. If you've got
the streets open the windows on the freeway, VIC, you
can get the wind blown.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Through your hair instead. You've ruined our relationship with Doom.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
It's a terrible moment. Well, Kate's got it real little anyway.
The point is they've been off the freeways until now
they are going to the can open that get those
buggers on the one, ten, the four oh fever and
the ten. So keep your head on a swivel and
protect your neck. The dirtiest vehicles are coming to ride
(08:14):
dirty all over you on the freeways.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
The number one.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, I mean they that these are supposed to be
safer without a driver. Percentage wise, I can see that
it is supposed to be safer. We have the fox
LA report, the quick report that just tells you that
I have a little bit moreph tank.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Cars on the freeway. Weymo says it will test its
cars on some LA freeways, including the ten, more, ten, four,
O five and ninety Yes as passengers to start. Weymo
does hope to eventually expand to the public. The alphabet
owned companies is using freeways could cut some trip times
in half. RAIMAU has been tests in San Francisco and
(08:54):
Phoenix since August, and we know they're on surface streets
and have.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Had a great safety record.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
We don't about any major problems with It's pretty amazing.
If you think we haven't heard it, we don't hear
about WEMO.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well here I got you.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I got you outside of that guy that got stuck
in the circle.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well that happened. Uh, there have been some issues. Okay,
let's discuss what do we got. Uh, there was a
cyclist that was bonked.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, I know how much you politic for the cycling community.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I try my best. I love big orange unless it's
shirtless teeth. I got no love for that crew. But
there was a cyclist that got bonked by a weymo
now dragged critically injured. That was cruise, But a cyclist
was bomked. There's a Reddit video of one driving in
oncoming traffic.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That a little dangerous.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It got confused because it got surrounded by a bunch
of those gay unicycle guys you know on the motorcycle. Yeah, yeah,
and they are predominantly gay, is what I understand. I
haven't heard that part of it. Well, they were right
going right by the mother load and uh so, I
guess it spooked the weimo and the Weimo ended up
going on the other side, and now it's on the
other side of the road. So there's a video of
(10:03):
that of it going into oncoming traffic. No one was hurt.
Last May, one crashed into a pole in Phoenix and
then promptly smoked the pole. That's the Gamo side of Also, Matt,
people have messed with Waymo's not cool. Pedestrians stalled one out.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The estay in front of it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
By standing in front of the waimo and playing tim
and square with the Weaimo, which is less powerful than
the tank. Downtown, a guy tried to drive away in
one but was stopped by the police when uh, I
guess you couldn't find the pedals.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
There's no pedals in here. The whole thing is uh yeah,
it's self driving, so there's no pedals.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's just like going to McDonald's or or or Starbucks.
Now it all operates via an app and when you're
in a Waymo, the company can be contacted. A person
can be contacted immediately if you're like, oh my god,
my Waymo's gone crazy. It's holding a gun to my head.
Stop him, you know, And right that whatever, the person
(11:10):
will apparently travels over. But they can't like drive it themselves.
They can't.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They can't get it to pull over, like take curb
or something.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well, and sometimes it takes a while, but they can't
drive it themselves, right. They have to put a program.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Can't be like hey, you climb into the front seat,
We'll disable the audience.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Like driving school where the guy takes over when you
start to freaking out with.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That pedal on the passenger side, just hammers the break.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Mike Johns a guy in Arizona. They got stuck driving
in circles and they could not immediately help him, and
so it didn't pull over right away, and then the
roadside waimo didn't show up for forty five I'm stuck here.
That also happened in San Francisco, the roadside waimo after
the guy's weimo just stopped. Why are you stopping? Why
(11:53):
what are you doing to me?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I've got nothing to say. We've taken a paw ah.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Well, anyway, the freeways are going to be tested by
Waymo self driving cars on the ninety, the one ten,
the four h five self driving cars on the freeway
in ten minute NBA quarters. As Jackie Slater would say, Matt,
what in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
What in the world, What in the world can we
get more from a KTLA reporter station.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Weimo is going to be testing out its fleets of
driver lists rebo taxis on our freeways and that excludes
this one ten freeway here right behind me, the ten,
the ninety, and the four five, And that's all happening
this week. Take a look here. Of course, we know
this is a huge step for Waimo, the company that's
owned by Alphabet and its quest to cut down on
(12:46):
trip times and better serve riders in its seventy nine
square miles service area amid competition with Uber Lift and
other human powered services. The company said utilizing freeways would
make some trips fifty percent faster.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That's what I said.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah, they wanted to get into the look at this
guy quickly efficiently. They're a lot safer than anything else
on the road because they have three different methods of
uh identifying problems on the road.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Okay, travelers wide vehicles with radar dismal's attached to the
roof and sides. I'm already been ferrying riders on city
streets across the area downtown.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
LA, different ways of identified.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
What the hell is this guy?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
This guy shocked seems actually at the self driving cars
have been shown to be safer than human driven vehicles,
but data from the National Highway Traffic Administration shows at
the number of collisions reported by WAYMOW in the last
six months has grown by roughly sixty percent. That goes
in hand with the services growing popularity.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
And there has been accidents from what I've read about that,
so from safe in some areas using them, but not
in others. At this point, I.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Still do not trust the technology nobody.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
It's a little more questionable without that driver in the car.
And this like this morning, a car, you know, somebody
just slammed on the brakes in front of me. I
just don't know if the car is able to respond
that quickly.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Because you want to trust AI or a driverless car
or anything like that, I mean, I want, you know,
eyes on the.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Right, he's running the counter at fullip counter. They have
three residents.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
You know that the drivers should be treating this on
the freeways normally, right, c HP is going to be
doing that too, exactly.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
You know it's going to be a little awkward encountering
a vehicle this or with no driver or no nobody
in the vehicle at all, So I thing just treat
it as another vehicle.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
A common question I got on Alcio Media this morning
from our viewers is what happens if I get on
a crash with one of these vehicles on the freeway?
Speaker 10 (14:58):
Right, So, well, we understand, you know what if something
does happen to that sort is don't leave the scene.
The vehicle then should then roll down its windows and
then somebody should be contacting you via the vehicle. They're
also going to make any representative out. So but then
it's just like a regular crash. Something does happen, it's
staying on scene and then resolving whatever the incident that occurred.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Rot really quickly.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Would you ride one of these rebo taxis on the
tree ride?
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I think it's personal preference, but more than anything, if
you don't have to, if you're not gonna drink and drive,
then hey, use whatever options that you need.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
To use the massive rota going to drink and d
what if you're going to drink and drive?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Hey, Kates, it really was a great display of how
local that.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Was a disaster case was going to expand.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
This would say, that's effing tusk a loose Alma level.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
This is LA it's a random.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Would I if I understand.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
There's three ways that they are able to read traffic?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It never gave the three ways by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Story, you really did, Kates.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
We'll be right back with three things Thursday. I'm gonna
ruin math story. No, yeah, no, it's trickles down. Damn it,
it's cracking everybody, welcome back. It's Petterson money on Amphi
seventy l A Sports your Home, the Super Bowl fifty nine, Sunday,
(16:21):
February ninth day. At least we don't have to go
to a party. Yeah, yeah, you're going to Diavon Buster.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Guys, we're gonna put you in Damon Busters. We're gonna
bring hacks up. Hartman's gonna be the.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Mc Joe McDonald's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh, Joe McDonald's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Don't even be there. We're gonna have a nine man panels.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's gonna be great. You guys are just gonna do
the show altogether. It's like a banquet. The Super Bowl
is gonna be on behind you, Seahawks versus Steelers.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
But most people are gonna be interested in what you
guys are saying. The biggest game of the world is
going on.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Can we go after kickoff? No, you're gonna stay and
you're gonna talk through the whole game.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, you gotta go play by play during the breaks.
Right now, as we move forward, it is time for
three Things Thursday, Three thingsters.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
After last night watching Megalex with a Mega shove, oh yeah,
it bore a return to one of the most baffling
moments in the history of the.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Lakers, like the dumbest thing magics ever.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And when you consider that it was Magic Johnson that
pulled the trigger, I guess we shouldn't be too surprised
by it. His tenure in the Laker front office, selecting players,
friend of our colleague, he is signing free agents choosing
coaches as nothing short of a and unmitigated disaster. But
(17:53):
after watching Zoubs last night, I'll play Wemby yesterday, it
deserves renewed attention. Because it truly just did not make
the least bit of sense. Mike Muscala one of our
favorite names in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Oh but because of the muscalos. Muscala, he's got big
traps and triceps, big muscalos.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
He finally called it a career.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Played on three teams last season, got solid minutes with
the Wizards fourteen per game, then moved to the Pistons
thirteen minutes per game before fading away with the Thunder
to close out the season. He is not playing this year.
He's only thirty three years old. Certainly could still work
his way into a rotation as a three point shooting
big man, but quite simply.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He's just not that good.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Career averages six points, three rebounds, shooting thirty seven percent
for his career on threes is certainly not worth trading
the potential upside of what megallets our favorite laker if
eats a Zubats offered. Now we are biased. He was
our favorite. We bought Megallex jerseys the moment when he
(19:00):
was drafted. He did had a great time when Zoobs
hopped on with us.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He's was a wonderful guest, always has been.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
The thing is beyond our bias. Zoobs was playing good
basketball in his third season.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, but remember Magic said on TV that wasn't in the.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Playoffs though, No, because Mike Wuscala had so much playoff
experience for a team that was hovering around five hundred
exactly right and looked like, I don't think they're gonna
make it.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Magic really showed his ass on that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You sure did. Zubox was averaging eight and a half
points five rebounds in his third season, a starter for
a third of the season, playing around sixteen minutes a game.
Sixteen minutes and you're getting nine and five and a
block per game. Felt pretty great only twenty one years old.
But as you said, Magic said, oh, we need a
(19:51):
guy that's gonna help us with a playoff push. Lebron
James is here, this is his first season, and we
are not going to see Lebron James not included in
the postseason. So Muscala is the man for us.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, I remember, I remember the logic and all that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, twenty seven year old Mike Muscala, who in forty
seven games that season was averaging seven and a half
points four rebounds in twenty two minutes, so six more
minutes one less point one less rebound per game. He's
twenty seven and in his previous five seasons pretty much
had the same or worst numbers every single year.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Instead of developing a big man who had great promise
and a high ceiling who could help protect, well, I
don't know the big man you have that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Want to play center. We've heard this story from the
Clipper side in the past. They never even played Muscala
when they acquired him from Philadelphia and the Tobias Harris trade.
He had not suited up for a single game. They
probably weren't going to play him. So when the Lakers
called and offered a young seven foot one, soft hands
around the basket, not afraid to mix it up, download
decent rebounder who was just twenty one years old for Muscala,
(21:09):
not to mention Zubat's the second round pick, he's on
a cheap, free look contract, they basically hit the mute
button and went, this is somebody pranking USCA, this is
a joke. How do we slow play this to make
sure they don't pull it off the table immediately. Muscala
would not even be back the following year for the Lakers.
He played seventeen games for them. He averaged six points,
(21:33):
two rebounds on forty three percent shooting from the field.
The Lakers, of course, completely collapsed the final four weeks
of the season. Lebron James pointed fingers at the likes
of Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball and Luke Walton as
not being winning basketball players, not knowing what it takes
to win in this league. Now, of course, Anthony Davis
(21:56):
is here. They won the championship in the in the
Disney Bubble, so you can't take that away from them.
But as you mentioned a moment ago, Pete, considering Anthony
Davis is going to be out for a week and
everyone is now trying to figure out where they're going
to find a big man at the trade deadline. Uh,
they have been on the look for and the hunt
for a big man since they traded for Anthony Davis,
who is a big man but does not want to
(22:18):
play like a big man.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
It's not like the old The one guy that would
be a perfect fit to protect Anthony Davis was on their.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Roston Well, I don't know, have you think going up
against Victor Webbinyama last night and posting twenty one points
in twenty two rebounds in thirty four minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He's grown from a decent rebounder into a dominant rebound dominant.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Clippers are twenty seven and twenty probably have no business
having that record, considering what we thought this team was
going to look like. Leonards just got back. Follow that thread, man,
follow that thread. Paul George is a punchline in Philadelphia.
They're terrible. He's been a disaster on a max deal
(23:01):
for four years. But and again, this team has no
draft picks, nothing for the foreseeable future in because of
the trade for Paul George and Oklahoma City, the trade
for James Harden from Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I just remember after watching that game last night, us
screaming Muscala over and over and over again. Uh. And
in case you're not playing attention to the Clippers, which
is totally understandable. Uh, Zubots right now.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Adam got the the same hat that from yesterday? Different color?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Today? Was the rat?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Do you think it's because we complimented him on the hat?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He's got a pep in a step as he should.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Zubots this year when it comes to centers in the NBA,
third and minutes, third in rebounds, sixth end points. But
Muscala we touched on this yesterday. Second thing, Adam Silver
talking about things they're kicking around to try to make
the league more palatable as a television product.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I thought you made a very valid point yourself there, Matt,
that why would less of this product? So we're so terrible,
we want to offer you less of what we are.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know, we're going to fix this, give you less.
That's our goal, is that right? So less of what
you were?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I mean I get it because the NFL has had success,
you know, moving games along and really striving to fit
games into that three hour window.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's baseball with the pitch clock wildly successful. But no, no,
that's not that's that's cutting from a twelve minute quarter
to a ten minute quarter, from a forty eight minute
game to a forty minute game to get in line
with high school, college and the international game. Is nobody
has a problem when it comes to the complaints of
(24:52):
the overall length of the game.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Is they're what you do during the game.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, like and even just try far with your stupid
tunnel walk. That too, from a timing standpoint everybody. Typically
it lodges the same complaint, which is just got to
watch the final five minutes, like the rest of the
game isn't really that entertaining. I'll just flip it on
with that. And then the other side of that is, yeah,
in the final two minutes of the game are unwatchable
because the team's just following the whole time intentionally, So
(25:19):
figure that part of it out as opposed to cutting
it from twelve to ten minutes. The problem that ails
the NBA is quite simply not fixable. It's what Don
McClain has addressed here many times. Their players don't care.
There's no I don't care.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
They don't have the passion that they're supposed.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
To somebody used to exactly right, you have to catch
that on a pod. Now. There's no loyalty to a team.
There is no interest in making a connection with a
fan base in a city, in a market and trying
to become one of the most beloved athletes in a
town's history. It is individual, it is selfish. Oh, it's
the it's the player in palment era of the NBA. Yeah,
(26:00):
and it sucks. Nothing wrong with players getting in a
bunch of money, so the owners don't pocket tens or
hundreds of millions of dollars more. I have no problem
with that, but they don't know what.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
To do with it.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
They lost their minds when they got all their money
and started acting like complete assholes. Yeah, it is the
individual selfish. Pay me as much money as you as possible,
and then after I get that contract, I'm gonna tell
you to trade me somewhere where it's easier for me
to win a championship. The Jimmy Butler situation in Miami
(26:33):
is truly like, if you want to encapsulate it, this
is it. He is already on his fourth team and
part of this is the Chicago Bulls problem. They drafted him,
he wanted to stay there. They said he wasn't a
max player when he was, and then his journey began Minnesota, Philadelphia, Miami.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They don't honor the contracts the way they should and
just play like Yeah, people used to.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, I don't know if you're Jimmy Butler and you're
only making fifty eight million dollars this year as a
thirty seven year old in the twilight of your career,
when you average sixty two games per season, in an
eighty two game year. I mean, maybe it's not enough, fairpoint,
But and then you compound that with he's only got
a fifty two million dollar option for his age thirty
(27:15):
eight season coming next year. That's his option, not the team,
so he can just take it up feet out. It's
been tough for him one hundred and ten million bucks
for two years in age thirty seven and thirty eight.
It's not good enough, Ryles. I need an extension at
sixty mili per for my age thirty eight, thirty nine
and forty seasons, or else I'm going to behave like
a petulant child. That is what ales the NBA.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Lebron and Adam Silver ruined the end.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
They ruined it so much for Jimmy's coffee shop in
the bubble. Remember that I was great.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Rachel Nichols went over there and got coffee.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And I am right coffee and what Jimmy buckets all
the big time moments. In the end, the guy went
to two NBA finals with the Heat beloved in that community,
the the embodiment of Heat culture. What a waste it is,
freaking Sherman's March to the Sea. Burn it all scorched earth,
(28:10):
Miami hates him. None of it might as well have
existed Jimmy's coffee shop. You are a distant memory, and
it's because.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's like Devin George. We don't even remember him around here.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No, we certainly don't. And it's all because one hundred
and ten million dollars over two years for a thirty
seven and a thirty eight year old individual isn't enough.
Lebron and Kevin Durant are arguably the two best players
of this era. They're each on their fourth team if
you count the two times that Lebron played for the
(28:46):
Cavs fourth the two best players on four teams.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
It's not right.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
That's what's destroying the NBA. Finally, quickly, this is my
favorite story from three Things. It tells you what a
disaster the NBA All Star Game is, Like, what a
complete nothing burger.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I know you checked, Matt. The shot clock is off.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
What a non event that this has become when a
WNBA player declines their invitation for a three point exhibition.
I saw this, and it's being treated like the end
of the world.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I wondered what you would think of it.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Caitlin Clark has declined the invitation to go one on
one with a three point sharpshooter in the NBA, like
Sabrina and Esco did last year with Steph Curry, which
by the way, was the highlight of All Star Weekend,
a w NBA player versus an NBA place sad comment,
it's the high point and now they don't know what
(29:46):
they're going to do. They just assumed that Caitlin would
accept the invitation, whereas on that stage San Francisco, the
new two billion dollar arena, and Caitlyn Clark, to her credit,
by the way, for a league that wants to do
nothing but tear her down and insult her at every turn,
said that she would like her first All Star appearance
(30:09):
to be for the WNBA, even though they stiff her
for the Olympics. Even though they stiffer at every freaking turn,
She's still trying to give back to that freaking league
that nobody cares about, save Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, and she bended the knee with some statement and
that's not going to help her. No, not going to
help her at all. They're still going to resent her
exactly and want her to be gone and books will
be written about how poorly the mismanagement, how poorly the
one chance this league had to climb out of sports oblivion,
(30:46):
and they absolutely ruined it because of their jealousy and
their short sightedness and their inability to accept the fact
that this chick from Iowa is a sensation and no
one wanted to watch you before and no one's gonna
want to watch you after.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's the truth.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
And your best season ever, Cheryl swoops with not even
close to her rookie season. You guys are awful. You're
awful people.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
And now the NBA is left scrambling how do we
save the All Star weekend? Caitlyn Clark has declined our invitation.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And they dust off Larry Bird. I mean, can Larry
come out and do it?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Get bird Claire Bird Bird burn Lair bird Bird, What
are we gonna do?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
And I was like, man, that brother could play. The
next day I saw that he was white, and I
was like, damn that.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
La Bird Bird Burn burn. Adam, Yes, it's your assistant
Director Commissioner of the NBA. Yes, Caitlin Clark has declined.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
No, what are we gonna do? Hey, Adam? Blah yeah,
blah blah. It's me lebron blah blah. Hey, I just
read the first three pages of the Fountainhead, and I realized,
we screwed this whole thing up. We ruined the league.
We'll be right past.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I know what we will do the we she will
save the weekend.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Plain the blood of Windors. We'll be back with a.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Lot of blood. Petro Sayan Money in five seventy LA
Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio have full four hour show. Today.
We're your home of Super Bowl fifty nine a week
from Sunday, that'll be February ninth, the Eagles versus Chiefs.
We are your home of UCLA Basketball. It's tonight tip

the Clippers. That is tomorrow a super Flex for the
Petros and Money show. And he we are your home
of the World Series champion Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
That's right, the Dodgers out there doing good, showing love
in the community. They got the caravan going. I saw
Shoo Taani driving the back of a big fire engine
UH with his jersey on, and I think it was
necessary for him to wear the jersey. It's like it's
shoe hail Tony. I mean maybe just put a big.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Fire on the point.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I mean it does, but it's just like it's like
I don't need Like if I see Wayne Gretzky around,
I don't need him. It is like a hockey outfit Bay.
It's me, Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You like to walk around with a microphone and headphones
on just to make sure, but he knows who you are.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You're right, I do that. I also I carried my
USC football helmen.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's right. That's the other hand. Microphone went in.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Why is something face mask? Gray? Well, it wasn't great
when I played. Pete Carroll took over in that interesting
story here. I'm glad you asked would you like to
try it on? Let me slap your head. You can
see what it's like right now. One of our favorite
people out there who may or may not have attended.
He may or may not have attended today, and then
he might have had to eat some crow what he
(33:50):
saw Toddy behind the wheel of that big Oh. I
should have been.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
There with an inside look at the dodge. Here this
is the vass Report with David Vassa.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Only davidsse the legendary voice of AM five seventy LA
Sports on the Dodgers our embedded reporter, nobody does it better.
You can find him on Spectrum Sports Net and MLB Network.
He's on the Southern California Tell you to do a
celebrity hotline.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Hello Dave, Hello guys. Yes, you know, I'm just gathering
myself similar to an Olympic athlete getting ready for the
long jump of his life for Dodger Fest on Saturday.
So I figured I just stay in that squat position,
really gathering, you know, the lower half to not only
host three hours of Dodger Talk on Saturday at Dodger Stadium,
(34:42):
by the way, force my way into that. And on
Monday we actually have another Dodger Talk at seven o'clock.
So I really need to conserve all my energy for
those two shows.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Your power, you know, like a video game, you know,
power up to meet Yeah, load through your ass and
through the hips into your opponent. In this case, who
was the opponent?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
How you couldn't What do you mean you had to
force your way on?
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Well, you know, I'm not sure they anticipated my want
to be part of Dodger Talk, even though I was
on the stage for the last twelve years you know,
I'm not sure if they carved out a spot for me,
but I found a way to carve out a spot
for myself and we will have Bert the engineer there
as well. He did a side check today check.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Do you think that maybe a jealous announcer like Nelson
or somebody like that tried to box you out? Dave?
Speaker 5 (35:38):
No, never, I feel like it was just I'm so
low maintenance. You know, we had the largest ratings on
KLAC since nineteen eighty one. You know, I could understand
how that could be an oversight by the organizers.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Subtle shot. Well, I guess it's a reminder that the
squeaky wheel gets the grease and David vassa and polite
and assuming that there will be a spot for him
caught them off guard. But it's great to hear that
that got resolved, Dave, And your broadcast is always the
best of the bunch anyway.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Sounds like swimming.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Yeah, you know it's an official broadcast. When Dave Weis
has his crew bring a step and repeat, that's when
you know it's official. No matter where your position in
the parking lot at Dodger Stadium, because that is where
Dodger Fest will take place because of the ongoing construction
inside the stadium. It's been relegated like it was before
(36:35):
another year when they were doing not the renovations. So
this is the updated, updated renovations for the home clubhouse
and the visiting clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So in the parking lot. Dave as someone who's a
veteran of Dodger Fest. For those that have decided or
were lucky enough to secure a ticket for a small fee,
what should they what should.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
They have been?
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Donated a fire relief to money?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
That's correct, It's phenomenal, absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Everybody giving their.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Shorectors aren't just riding around in Tonka trucks in the
Pacific Palisades. Mark Walter and the Dodgers donated one hundred
million dollars how about that to bring La back? And
o'tani himself donated a half a million dollars to fire relief,
and I feel like that earned him a spot to
drive that fire truck today.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
We didn't say they were on Tonka trucks.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Don't said that a fire truck with firemen ud truck.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
We all want to drive a fire truck. I mean
that's a boyhood dream, right, Even though you're not capable
enough or have the courage to be able to be
a firefighter.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I want to have sex on the top of a
fire truck. Because that's right. You wrote that into a movie.
Yes you did. You wrote that, right, Dave? So, who's
do we know who's going to be there? Do it?
Do we have a an idea of what players, managers,
front office people are going to be a Dodger Fest?
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Oh yeah, basically everybody including show Hey o'tani who is
scheduled to be on Dodger Talk on Saturday to close
it out as a grand ow.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
What did you make of that English statement that he
that he made in receiving the MVP. Is he going
to do it in English a little bit? Or now?
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Hey, I'm expecting that right because he can do that
and speak to the people at the parade, why not
speak to the people on Dodger Talk in English? It
feels like you know he can, he can deliver and showed.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Up to the bbwlish English. Yeah, make him speak English.
What about the Korean guy, Dave? When are we going
to get a taste to high.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Scho Hey Song Kim. I believe he is going to
make an appearance there as well. But really the headliners
are Otani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Beds and of course the
two times two time Cy Young Award winner, the one
and only Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh, you're gonna say, Clayton Kershaw. That was a curveball
right there. You get the puny.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Team, man.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
That's right. Technically, what happens to.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
The guys that aren't on the team, Like, if KEK
shows up, are you gonna like lock him out?
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Kk? Was that some Utah NHL hockey game yesterday which
was very interesting?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well, it's the Utah Hockey Club, the old UHC. I'm
sure he did that out there. Hey did I don't
know if we asked you about this? Dave did uh
walk us through the Mookie thing with Sasaki? I read
a piece that said, like he showed up. He gave
an impassioned ten minute speech to Sasaki that they felt
went a long way.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Yeah he did. He really, uh you know, took that
leadership role of being at that meeting at Peter Cooper's
home with Sazaki to really implore to him just the
culture of the team and how the biggest stars are
welcoming him, and he would not be treated any less
than any of them. And I really believe that's one
(39:58):
of the things the culture has changed ange with Mooky
and Freddie, where you hear them talk about these young
guys and new players coming in and being themselves and
they're not there to chastise them or put them down,
even though they've only been in the league for a
year or two. They're there to kind of help the transition,
to try to get the best out of these guys.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I think that's
(40:21):
what the message from Mookie was.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Fan Fast over the weekend, don't miss it podcast, and
I'm sure it'll be all over social.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
By the way, Petros, I'm not sure you guys know
about the hottest new steakhouse on the Boulevard Boulevard Steakhouse,
I have not. My spies told me last night Mookie
Betts was seen in there dining in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Well on the dirty Boulevard, on the dirty you better,
you better go out.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
I'm going out so close to Woodman Avenue.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I'm going down on the dirty Bulevard. I'm going out
on the dirty Boulevard, going on the dirty Bavard. Play
it up Kaid's player.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
He's too late. He's just low on the track.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
We're playing it out dirty Boulevard lou Reid. All right, Dave,
thank you very much. Oh Dave. One last thing, Uh, Dave.
Did you know Tony Robbins's own part of the Dodgers
that kind of caught Matt Guy off the time?
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah? That was that was so enlightening yesterday. You know,
you don't see him sitting next to Magic John. No,
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
I heard he swallowed Mark Walter and made him sign
him in and then he spit him up. He wouldn't
let him out.
Speaker 5 (41:31):
It sounded familiar, you know, but it's not something that
we're constantly reminded of that Tony Robinson has a piece
of the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
And somebody said, hey, did you shake his hanlier? I
was like, no, he wasn't there. Was it like shaking
the club of bananas? He wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
He's a very large Did you do after that interview?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Guys five one armed and Matten did a headspin right

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh oh, they got a cot to the West coast.
We're seventy degrees and you don't have to leave your hotel?
Are you stupid idiot reporter? I can't believe you would

we're not gonna get him on and he's gonna freaking
harangue Josh LeWitt after the game, and it's Mustlessen radio,
son of a bitch. We'll be back on tomorrow one
with reaction. But right now, before we go any further,
(03:33):
make sure you podcast a show on the iHeartRadio app
or stream it live or follow us on all the
social media stuff. Very important to do that. It makes
us valid in the eyes of the world. You can
wake up to find that out, but right now it's
time for local knowledge.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Is knowledge, common knowledge, it's local knowledge.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up with.
As far as for with your.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Knowledge, well, it's not really in your jurisdiction anymore, Matt,
because El Segundo, that's they don't really creep down there.
But if you drive around the West Side, and I
don't much outside of the football season, go over to
the Fox lot. I'd like to go over there see
Acho and and Huel, Chase Daniel.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Two very likable individuals.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Keishawn who hates me, Paul Pierce, who doesn't know me.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I think the first two you mentioned. You want to
talk about humility, I mean they embody it. Chase, Oh, yeah,
somebody who really embraces the forty one million dollars he
made in the NFL as a good guy in the room.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'd like to see him supplementing his income on Pico
and motor Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's wonderful anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't get over there much in the off season,
but when I did this year, I did see one
of these. I talked about it, and it's a big
story today self driving cabs. Wait now, before we get
into a I know you want to say that a
lady got dragged and was critically injured.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But then you do not want to say that that
was not Weymo.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay, it was Cruise, all right, and that buried Cruise,
and Waimo came up.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Why there's no more Cruise, there's only Wymo.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Waymo's had well, Cruise is starting to test again, but uh,
Waimo has also had some issues. People have been balked.
Uh somebody around here never got dropped off. The thing
just kept circling in circles. I saw that at La.
I had to call for help. This started. And I
(05:37):
saw one in November, turning on motor I saw one
and I was like, is that like a Is that
like a movie car? Like are they shooting or something?
And I was like, no, wamo that Jaguar. Yeah, And
they're already in Phoenix everywhere else and they have already
(05:59):
driven and one point nine million miles here since you remember,
yes here, damn. And they're looking to expand like Tony, Montana,
we got to expand, Atlanta, Miami, Austin. They ain't going
to Houston, they get killed. Waimo has as you met mentioned, Matt,
those Jaguars one hundred of taxis in their fleet. Taxi
(06:26):
and there span in the city is seventy nine square
miles from the west side living Colin Cowherd type mostly west.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Sideuth Santa Monica down Samo.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It goes from downtown all the way to Samo down
to the Marina and weeho you know in between. So
I mean, I guess you can get a Waimo to
take you to the gaylord in mid city if you
want to have a grifters like interaction with some What.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
If I want to boys night out at the mother
Load there on Santa Monica, Bulevard will take you there.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, you're great, go there right now. I want to
do right now. So that's why I've seen him. And
until this week, Matt, the taxis have been purely like
a Victor Brick of a different time, the mobile Victor
Brick in that they only have traveled on the side streets.
(07:25):
Like vic he was definitely afraid of the freeways. He
was and he only traveled in the side streets, which
is why it took him maybe an hour and ten
minutes more on every trip to get anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Two hours fifteen minutes to get to Anaheim with a
broken air conditioner.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Right because of the side street issue. If you've got
the streets open the windows on the freeway, VIC, you
can get the wind blown.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Through your hair instead. You've ruined our relationship with Doom.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
It's a terrible moment. Well, Kate's got it real little anyway.
The point is they've been off the freeways until now
they are going to the can open that get those
buggers on the one, ten, the four oh fever and
the ten. So keep your head on a swivel and
protect your neck. The dirtiest vehicles are coming to ride
(08:14):
dirty all over you on the freeways.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
The number one.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, I mean they that these are supposed to be
safer without a driver. Percentage wise, I can see that
it is supposed to be safer. We have the fox
LA report, the quick report that just tells you that
I have a little bit moreph tank.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Cars on the freeway. Weymo says it will test its
cars on some LA freeways, including the ten, more, ten, four,
O five and ninety Yes as passengers to start. Weymo
does hope to eventually expand to the public. The alphabet
owned companies is using freeways could cut some trip times
in half. RAIMAU has been tests in San Francisco and
(08:54):
Phoenix since August, and we know they're on surface streets
and have.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Had a great safety record.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
We don't about any major problems with It's pretty amazing.
If you think we haven't heard it, we don't hear
about WEMO.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well here I got you.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I got you outside of that guy that got stuck
in the circle.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well that happened. Uh, there have been some issues. Okay,
let's discuss what do we got. Uh, there was a
cyclist that was bonked.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, I know how much you politic for the cycling community.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I try my best. I love big orange unless it's
shirtless teeth. I got no love for that crew. But
there was a cyclist that got bonked by a weymo
now dragged critically injured. That was cruise, But a cyclist
was bomked. There's a Reddit video of one driving in
oncoming traffic.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That a little dangerous.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It got confused because it got surrounded by a bunch
of those gay unicycle guys you know on the motorcycle. Yeah, yeah,
and they are predominantly gay, is what I understand. I
haven't heard that part of it. Well, they were right
going right by the mother load and uh so, I
guess it spooked the weimo and the Weimo ended up
going on the other side, and now it's on the
other side of the road. So there's a video of
(10:03):
that of it going into oncoming traffic. No one was hurt.
Last May, one crashed into a pole in Phoenix and
then promptly smoked the pole. That's the Gamo side of Also, Matt,
people have messed with Waymo's not cool. Pedestrians stalled one out.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The estay in front of it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
By standing in front of the waimo and playing tim
and square with the Weaimo, which is less powerful than
the tank. Downtown, a guy tried to drive away in
one but was stopped by the police when uh, I
guess you couldn't find the pedals.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
There's no pedals in here. The whole thing is uh yeah,
it's self driving, so there's no pedals.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's just like going to McDonald's or or or Starbucks.
Now it all operates via an app and when you're
in a Waymo, the company can be contacted. A person
can be contacted immediately if you're like, oh my god,
my Waymo's gone crazy. It's holding a gun to my head.
Stop him, you know, And right that whatever, the person
(11:10):
will apparently travels over. But they can't like drive it themselves.
They can't.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They can't get it to pull over, like take curb
or something.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well, and sometimes it takes a while, but they can't
drive it themselves, right. They have to put a program.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Can't be like hey, you climb into the front seat,
We'll disable the audience.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Like driving school where the guy takes over when you
start to freaking out with.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That pedal on the passenger side, just hammers the break.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Mike Johns a guy in Arizona. They got stuck driving
in circles and they could not immediately help him, and
so it didn't pull over right away, and then the
roadside waimo didn't show up for forty five I'm stuck here.
That also happened in San Francisco, the roadside waimo after
the guy's weimo just stopped. Why are you stopping? Why
(11:53):
what are you doing to me?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I've got nothing to say. We've taken a paw ah.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Well, anyway, the freeways are going to be tested by
Waymo self driving cars on the ninety, the one ten,
the four h five self driving cars on the freeway
in ten minute NBA quarters. As Jackie Slater would say, Matt,
what in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
What in the world, What in the world can we
get more from a KTLA reporter station.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Weimo is going to be testing out its fleets of
driver lists rebo taxis on our freeways and that excludes
this one ten freeway here right behind me, the ten,
the ninety, and the four five, And that's all happening
this week. Take a look here. Of course, we know
this is a huge step for Waimo, the company that's
owned by Alphabet and its quest to cut down on
(12:46):
trip times and better serve riders in its seventy nine
square miles service area amid competition with Uber Lift and
other human powered services. The company said utilizing freeways would
make some trips fifty percent faster.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That's what I said.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah, they wanted to get into the look at this
guy quickly efficiently. They're a lot safer than anything else
on the road because they have three different methods of
uh identifying problems on the road.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Okay, travelers wide vehicles with radar dismal's attached to the
roof and sides. I'm already been ferrying riders on city
streets across the area downtown.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
LA, different ways of identified.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
What the hell is this guy?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
This guy shocked seems actually at the self driving cars
have been shown to be safer than human driven vehicles,
but data from the National Highway Traffic Administration shows at
the number of collisions reported by WAYMOW in the last
six months has grown by roughly sixty percent. That goes
in hand with the services growing popularity.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
And there has been accidents from what I've read about that,
so from safe in some areas using them, but not
in others. At this point, I.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Still do not trust the technology nobody.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
It's a little more questionable without that driver in the car.
And this like this morning, a car, you know, somebody
just slammed on the brakes in front of me. I
just don't know if the car is able to respond
that quickly.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Because you want to trust AI or a driverless car
or anything like that, I mean, I want, you know,
eyes on the.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Right, he's running the counter at fullip counter. They have
three residents.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
You know that the drivers should be treating this on
the freeways normally, right, c HP is going to be
doing that too, exactly.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
You know it's going to be a little awkward encountering
a vehicle this or with no driver or no nobody
in the vehicle at all, So I thing just treat
it as another vehicle.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
A common question I got on Alcio Media this morning
from our viewers is what happens if I get on
a crash with one of these vehicles on the freeway?
Speaker 10 (14:58):
Right, So, well, we understand, you know what if something
does happen to that sort is don't leave the scene.
The vehicle then should then roll down its windows and
then somebody should be contacting you via the vehicle. They're
also going to make any representative out. So but then
it's just like a regular crash. Something does happen, it's
staying on scene and then resolving whatever the incident that occurred.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Rot really quickly.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Would you ride one of these rebo taxis on the
tree ride?
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I think it's personal preference, but more than anything, if
you don't have to, if you're not gonna drink and drive,
then hey, use whatever options that you need.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
To use the massive rota going to drink and d
what if you're going to drink and drive?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Hey, Kates, it really was a great display of how
local that.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Was a disaster case was going to expand.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
This would say, that's effing tusk a loose Alma level.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
This is LA it's a random.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Would I if I understand.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
There's three ways that they are able to read traffic?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It never gave the three ways by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Story, you really did, Kates.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
We'll be right back with three things Thursday. I'm gonna
ruin math story. No, yeah, no, it's trickles down. Damn it,
it's cracking everybody, welcome back. It's Petterson money on Amphi
seventy l A Sports your Home, the Super Bowl fifty nine, Sunday,
(16:21):
February ninth day. At least we don't have to go
to a party. Yeah, yeah, you're going to Diavon Buster.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Guys, we're gonna put you in Damon Busters. We're gonna
bring hacks up. Hartman's gonna be the.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Mc Joe McDonald's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh, Joe McDonald's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Don't even be there. We're gonna have a nine man panels.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's gonna be great. You guys are just gonna do
the show altogether. It's like a banquet. The Super Bowl
is gonna be on behind you, Seahawks versus Steelers.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
But most people are gonna be interested in what you
guys are saying. The biggest game of the world is
going on.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Can we go after kickoff? No, you're gonna stay and
you're gonna talk through the whole game.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, you gotta go play by play during the breaks.
Right now, as we move forward, it is time for
three Things Thursday, Three thingsters.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
After last night watching Megalex with a Mega shove, oh yeah,
it bore a return to one of the most baffling
moments in the history of the.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Lakers, like the dumbest thing magics ever.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And when you consider that it was Magic Johnson that
pulled the trigger, I guess we shouldn't be too surprised
by it. His tenure in the Laker front office, selecting players,
friend of our colleague, he is signing free agents choosing
coaches as nothing short of a and unmitigated disaster. But
(17:53):
after watching Zoubs last night, I'll play Wemby yesterday, it
deserves renewed attention. Because it truly just did not make
the least bit of sense. Mike Muscala one of our
favorite names in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Oh but because of the muscalos. Muscala, he's got big
traps and triceps, big muscalos.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
He finally called it a career.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Played on three teams last season, got solid minutes with
the Wizards fourteen per game, then moved to the Pistons
thirteen minutes per game before fading away with the Thunder
to close out the season. He is not playing this year.
He's only thirty three years old. Certainly could still work
his way into a rotation as a three point shooting
big man, but quite simply.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He's just not that good.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Career averages six points, three rebounds, shooting thirty seven percent
for his career on threes is certainly not worth trading
the potential upside of what megallets our favorite laker if
eats a Zubats offered. Now we are biased. He was
our favorite. We bought Megallex jerseys the moment when he
(19:00):
was drafted. He did had a great time when Zoobs
hopped on with us.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He's was a wonderful guest, always has been.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
The thing is beyond our bias. Zoobs was playing good
basketball in his third season.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, but remember Magic said on TV that wasn't in the.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Playoffs though, No, because Mike Wuscala had so much playoff
experience for a team that was hovering around five hundred
exactly right and looked like, I don't think they're gonna
make it.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Magic really showed his ass on that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You sure did. Zubox was averaging eight and a half
points five rebounds in his third season, a starter for
a third of the season, playing around sixteen minutes a game.
Sixteen minutes and you're getting nine and five and a
block per game. Felt pretty great only twenty one years old.
But as you said, Magic said, oh, we need a
(19:51):
guy that's gonna help us with a playoff push. Lebron
James is here, this is his first season, and we
are not going to see Lebron James not included in
the postseason. So Muscala is the man for us.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, I remember, I remember the logic and all that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, twenty seven year old Mike Muscala, who in forty
seven games that season was averaging seven and a half
points four rebounds in twenty two minutes, so six more
minutes one less point one less rebound per game. He's
twenty seven and in his previous five seasons pretty much
had the same or worst numbers every single year.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Instead of developing a big man who had great promise
and a high ceiling who could help protect, well, I
don't know the big man you have that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Want to play center. We've heard this story from the
Clipper side in the past. They never even played Muscala
when they acquired him from Philadelphia and the Tobias Harris trade.
He had not suited up for a single game. They
probably weren't going to play him. So when the Lakers
called and offered a young seven foot one, soft hands
around the basket, not afraid to mix it up, download
decent rebounder who was just twenty one years old for Muscala,
(21:09):
not to mention Zubat's the second round pick, he's on
a cheap, free look contract, they basically hit the mute
button and went, this is somebody pranking USCA, this is
a joke. How do we slow play this to make
sure they don't pull it off the table immediately. Muscala
would not even be back the following year for the Lakers.
He played seventeen games for them. He averaged six points,
(21:33):
two rebounds on forty three percent shooting from the field.
The Lakers, of course, completely collapsed the final four weeks
of the season. Lebron James pointed fingers at the likes
of Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball and Luke Walton as
not being winning basketball players, not knowing what it takes
to win in this league. Now, of course, Anthony Davis
(21:56):
is here. They won the championship in the in the
Disney Bubble, so you can't take that away from them.
But as you mentioned a moment ago, Pete, considering Anthony
Davis is going to be out for a week and
everyone is now trying to figure out where they're going
to find a big man at the trade deadline. Uh,
they have been on the look for and the hunt
for a big man since they traded for Anthony Davis,
who is a big man but does not want to
(22:18):
play like a big man.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
It's not like the old The one guy that would
be a perfect fit to protect Anthony Davis was on their.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Roston Well, I don't know, have you think going up
against Victor Webbinyama last night and posting twenty one points
in twenty two rebounds in thirty four minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He's grown from a decent rebounder into a dominant rebound dominant.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Clippers are twenty seven and twenty probably have no business
having that record, considering what we thought this team was
going to look like. Leonards just got back. Follow that thread, man,
follow that thread. Paul George is a punchline in Philadelphia.
They're terrible. He's been a disaster on a max deal
(23:01):
for four years. But and again, this team has no
draft picks, nothing for the foreseeable future in because of
the trade for Paul George and Oklahoma City, the trade
for James Harden from Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I just remember after watching that game last night, us
screaming Muscala over and over and over again. Uh. And
in case you're not playing attention to the Clippers, which
is totally understandable. Uh, Zubots right now.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Adam got the the same hat that from yesterday? Different color?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Today? Was the rat?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Do you think it's because we complimented him on the hat?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He's got a pep in a step as he should.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Zubots this year when it comes to centers in the NBA,
third and minutes, third in rebounds, sixth end points. But
Muscala we touched on this yesterday. Second thing, Adam Silver
talking about things they're kicking around to try to make
the league more palatable as a television product.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I thought you made a very valid point yourself there, Matt,
that why would less of this product? So we're so terrible,
we want to offer you less of what we are.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know, we're going to fix this, give you less.
That's our goal, is that right? So less of what
you were?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I mean I get it because the NFL has had success,
you know, moving games along and really striving to fit
games into that three hour window.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's baseball with the pitch clock wildly successful. But no, no,
that's not that's that's cutting from a twelve minute quarter
to a ten minute quarter, from a forty eight minute
game to a forty minute game to get in line
with high school, college and the international game. Is nobody
has a problem when it comes to the complaints of
(24:52):
the overall length of the game.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Is they're what you do during the game.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, like and even just try far with your stupid
tunnel walk. That too, from a timing standpoint everybody. Typically
it lodges the same complaint, which is just got to
watch the final five minutes, like the rest of the
game isn't really that entertaining. I'll just flip it on
with that. And then the other side of that is, yeah,
in the final two minutes of the game are unwatchable
because the team's just following the whole time intentionally, So
(25:19):
figure that part of it out as opposed to cutting
it from twelve to ten minutes. The problem that ails
the NBA is quite simply not fixable. It's what Don
McClain has addressed here many times. Their players don't care.
There's no I don't care.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
They don't have the passion that they're supposed.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
To somebody used to exactly right, you have to catch
that on a pod. Now. There's no loyalty to a team.
There is no interest in making a connection with a
fan base in a city, in a market and trying
to become one of the most beloved athletes in a
town's history. It is individual, it is selfish. Oh, it's
the it's the player in palment era of the NBA. Yeah,
(26:00):
and it sucks. Nothing wrong with players getting in a
bunch of money, so the owners don't pocket tens or
hundreds of millions of dollars more. I have no problem
with that, but they don't know what.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
To do with it.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
They lost their minds when they got all their money
and started acting like complete assholes. Yeah, it is the
individual selfish. Pay me as much money as you as possible,
and then after I get that contract, I'm gonna tell
you to trade me somewhere where it's easier for me
to win a championship. The Jimmy Butler situation in Miami
(26:33):
is truly like, if you want to encapsulate it, this
is it. He is already on his fourth team and
part of this is the Chicago Bulls problem. They drafted him,
he wanted to stay there. They said he wasn't a
max player when he was, and then his journey began Minnesota, Philadelphia, Miami.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They don't honor the contracts the way they should and
just play like Yeah, people used to.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, I don't know if you're Jimmy Butler and you're
only making fifty eight million dollars this year as a
thirty seven year old in the twilight of your career,
when you average sixty two games per season, in an
eighty two game year. I mean, maybe it's not enough, fairpoint,
But and then you compound that with he's only got
a fifty two million dollar option for his age thirty
(27:15):
eight season coming next year. That's his option, not the team,
so he can just take it up feet out. It's
been tough for him one hundred and ten million bucks
for two years in age thirty seven and thirty eight.
It's not good enough, Ryles. I need an extension at
sixty mili per for my age thirty eight, thirty nine
and forty seasons, or else I'm going to behave like
a petulant child. That is what ales the NBA.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Lebron and Adam Silver ruined the end.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
They ruined it so much for Jimmy's coffee shop in
the bubble. Remember that I was great.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Rachel Nichols went over there and got coffee.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And I am right coffee and what Jimmy buckets all
the big time moments. In the end, the guy went
to two NBA finals with the Heat beloved in that community,
the the embodiment of Heat culture. What a waste it is,
freaking Sherman's March to the Sea. Burn it all scorched earth,
(28:10):
Miami hates him. None of it might as well have
existed Jimmy's coffee shop. You are a distant memory, and
it's because.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's like Devin George. We don't even remember him around here.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No, we certainly don't. And it's all because one hundred
and ten million dollars over two years for a thirty
seven and a thirty eight year old individual isn't enough.
Lebron and Kevin Durant are arguably the two best players
of this era. They're each on their fourth team if
you count the two times that Lebron played for the
(28:46):
Cavs fourth the two best players on four teams.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
It's not right.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
That's what's destroying the NBA. Finally, quickly, this is my
favorite story from three Things. It tells you what a
disaster the NBA All Star Game is, Like, what a
complete nothing burger.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I know you checked, Matt. The shot clock is off.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
What a non event that this has become when a
WNBA player declines their invitation for a three point exhibition.
I saw this, and it's being treated like the end
of the world.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I wondered what you would think of it.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Caitlin Clark has declined the invitation to go one on
one with a three point sharpshooter in the NBA, like
Sabrina and Esco did last year with Steph Curry, which
by the way, was the highlight of All Star Weekend,
a w NBA player versus an NBA place sad comment,
it's the high point and now they don't know what
(29:46):
they're going to do. They just assumed that Caitlin would
accept the invitation, whereas on that stage San Francisco, the
new two billion dollar arena, and Caitlyn Clark, to her credit,
by the way, for a league that wants to do
nothing but tear her down and insult her at every turn,
said that she would like her first All Star appearance
(30:09):
to be for the WNBA, even though they stiff her
for the Olympics. Even though they stiffer at every freaking turn,
She's still trying to give back to that freaking league
that nobody cares about, save Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, and she bended the knee with some statement and
that's not going to help her. No, not going to
help her at all. They're still going to resent her
exactly and want her to be gone and books will
be written about how poorly the mismanagement, how poorly the
one chance this league had to climb out of sports oblivion,
(30:46):
and they absolutely ruined it because of their jealousy and
their short sightedness and their inability to accept the fact
that this chick from Iowa is a sensation and no
one wanted to watch you before and no one's gonna
want to watch you after.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's the truth.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
And your best season ever, Cheryl swoops with not even
close to her rookie season. You guys are awful. You're
awful people.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
And now the NBA is left scrambling how do we
save the All Star weekend? Caitlyn Clark has declined our invitation.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And they dust off Larry Bird. I mean, can Larry
come out and do it?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Get bird Claire Bird Bird burn Lair bird Bird, What
are we gonna do?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
And I was like, man, that brother could play. The
next day I saw that he was white, and I
was like, damn that.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
La Bird Bird Burn burn. Adam, Yes, it's your assistant
Director Commissioner of the NBA. Yes, Caitlin Clark has declined.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
No, what are we gonna do? Hey, Adam? Blah yeah,
blah blah. It's me lebron blah blah. Hey, I just
read the first three pages of the Fountainhead, and I realized,
we screwed this whole thing up. We ruined the league.
We'll be right past.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I know what we will do the we she will
save the weekend.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Plain the blood of Windors. We'll be back with a.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Lot of blood. Petro Sayan Money in five seventy LA

UH with his jersey on, and I think it was
necessary for him to wear the jersey. It's like it's
shoe hail Tony. I mean maybe just put a big.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Fire on the point.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I mean it does, but it's just like it's like
I don't need Like if I see Wayne Gretzky around,
I don't need him. It is like a hockey outfit Bay.
It's me, Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You like to walk around with a microphone and headphones
on just to make sure, but he knows who you are.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You're right, I do that. I also I carried my
USC football helmen.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's right. That's the other hand. Microphone went in.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Why is something face mask? Gray? Well, it wasn't great
when I played. Pete Carroll took over in that interesting
story here. I'm glad you asked would you like to
try it on? Let me slap your head. You can
see what it's like right now. One of our favorite
people out there who may or may not have attended.
He may or may not have attended today, and then
he might have had to eat some crow what he
(33:50):
saw Toddy behind the wheel of that big Oh. I
should have been.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
There with an inside look at the dodge. Here this
is the vass Report with David Vassa.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Only davidsse the legendary voice of AM five seventy LA
Sports on the Dodgers our embedded reporter, nobody does it better.
You can find him on Spectrum Sports Net and MLB Network.
He's on the Southern California Tell you to do a
celebrity hotline.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Hello Dave, Hello guys. Yes, you know, I'm just gathering
myself similar to an Olympic athlete getting ready for the
long jump of his life for Dodger Fest on Saturday.
So I figured I just stay in that squat position,
really gathering, you know, the lower half to not only
host three hours of Dodger Talk on Saturday at Dodger Stadium,
(34:42):
by the way, force my way into that. And on
Monday we actually have another Dodger Talk at seven o'clock.
So I really need to conserve all my energy for
those two shows.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Your power, you know, like a video game, you know,
power up to meet Yeah, load through your ass and
through the hips into your opponent. In this case, who
was the opponent?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
How you couldn't What do you mean you had to
force your way on?
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Well, you know, I'm not sure they anticipated my want
to be part of Dodger Talk, even though I was
on the stage for the last twelve years you know,
I'm not sure if they carved out a spot for me,
but I found a way to carve out a spot
for myself and we will have Bert the engineer there
as well. He did a side check today check.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Do you think that maybe a jealous announcer like Nelson
or somebody like that tried to box you out? Dave?
Speaker 5 (35:38):
No, never, I feel like it was just I'm so
low maintenance. You know, we had the largest ratings on
KLAC since nineteen eighty one. You know, I could understand
how that could be an oversight by the organizers.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Subtle shot. Well, I guess it's a reminder that the
squeaky wheel gets the grease and David vassa and polite
and assuming that there will be a spot for him
caught them off guard. But it's great to hear that
that got resolved, Dave, And your broadcast is always the
best of the bunch anyway.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Sounds like swimming.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Yeah, you know it's an official broadcast. When Dave Weis
has his crew bring a step and repeat, that's when
you know it's official. No matter where your position in
the parking lot at Dodger Stadium, because that is where
Dodger Fest will take place because of the ongoing construction
inside the stadium. It's been relegated like it was before
(36:35):
another year when they were doing not the renovations. So
this is the updated, updated renovations for the home clubhouse
and the visiting clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So in the parking lot. Dave as someone who's a
veteran of Dodger Fest. For those that have decided or
were lucky enough to secure a ticket for a small fee,
what should they what should.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
They have been?
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Donated a fire relief to money?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
That's correct, It's phenomenal, absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Everybody giving their.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Shorectors aren't just riding around in Tonka trucks in the
Pacific Palisades. Mark Walter and the Dodgers donated one hundred
million dollars how about that to bring La back? And
o'tani himself donated a half a million dollars to fire relief,
and I feel like that earned him a spot to
drive that fire truck today.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
We didn't say they were on Tonka trucks.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Don't said that a fire truck with firemen ud truck.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
We all want to drive a fire truck. I mean
that's a boyhood dream, right, Even though you're not capable
enough or have the courage to be able to be
a firefighter.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I want to have sex on the top of a
fire truck. Because that's right. You wrote that into a movie.
Yes you did. You wrote that, right, Dave? So, who's
do we know who's going to be there? Do it?
Do we have a an idea of what players, managers,
front office people are going to be a Dodger Fest?
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Oh yeah, basically everybody including show Hey o'tani who is
scheduled to be on Dodger Talk on Saturday to close
it out as a grand ow.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
What did you make of that English statement that he
that he made in receiving the MVP. Is he going
to do it in English a little bit? Or now?
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Hey, I'm expecting that right because he can do that
and speak to the people at the parade, why not
speak to the people on Dodger Talk in English? It
feels like you know he can, he can deliver and showed.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Up to the bbwlish English. Yeah, make him speak English.
What about the Korean guy, Dave? When are we going
to get a taste to high.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Scho Hey Song Kim. I believe he is going to
make an appearance there as well. But really the headliners
are Otani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Beds and of course the
two times two time Cy Young Award winner, the one
and only Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh, you're gonna say, Clayton Kershaw. That was a curveball
right there. You get the puny.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Team, man.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
That's right. Technically, what happens to.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
The guys that aren't on the team, Like, if KEK
shows up, are you gonna like lock him out?
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Kk? Was that some Utah NHL hockey game yesterday which
was very interesting?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well, it's the Utah Hockey Club, the old UHC. I'm
sure he did that out there. Hey did I don't
know if we asked you about this? Dave did uh
walk us through the Mookie thing with Sasaki? I read
a piece that said, like he showed up. He gave
an impassioned ten minute speech to Sasaki that they felt
went a long way.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Yeah he did. He really, uh you know, took that
leadership role of being at that meeting at Peter Cooper's
home with Sazaki to really implore to him just the
culture of the team and how the biggest stars are
welcoming him, and he would not be treated any less
than any of them. And I really believe that's one
(39:58):
of the things the culture has changed ange with Mooky
and Freddie, where you hear them talk about these young
guys and new players coming in and being themselves and
they're not there to chastise them or put them down,
even though they've only been in the league for a
year or two. They're there to kind of help the transition,
to try to get the best out of these guys.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I think that's
(40:21):
what the message from Mookie was.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Fan Fast over the weekend, don't miss it podcast, and
I'm sure it'll be all over social.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
By the way, Petros, I'm not sure you guys know
about the hottest new steakhouse on the Boulevard Boulevard Steakhouse,
I have not. My spies told me last night Mookie
Betts was seen in there dining in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Well on the dirty Boulevard, on the dirty you better,
you better go out.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
I'm going out so close to Woodman Avenue.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I'm going down on the dirty Bulevard. I'm going out
on the dirty Boulevard, going on the dirty Bavard. Play
it up Kaid's player.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
He's too late. He's just low on the track.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
We're playing it out dirty Boulevard lou Reid. All right, Dave,
thank you very much. Oh Dave. One last thing, Uh, Dave.
Did you know Tony Robbins's own part of the Dodgers
that kind of caught Matt Guy off the time?
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah? That was that was so enlightening yesterday. You know,
you don't see him sitting next to Magic John. No,
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
I heard he swallowed Mark Walter and made him sign
him in and then he spit him up. He wouldn't
let him out.
Speaker 5 (41:31):
It sounded familiar, you know, but it's not something that
we're constantly reminded of that Tony Robinson has a piece
of the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
And somebody said, hey, did you shake his hanlier? I
was like, no, he wasn't there. Was it like shaking
the club of bananas? He wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
He's a very large Did you do after that interview?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Guys five one armed and Matten did a headspin right
one more hour ago and brig Sports Talk. Happy to
talk to Dave Ase. A lot of great things happening
with the Dodgers around town and witched my way in there,
ready to go for fan Fest on Saturday. We'll be
right back with another hour, Final Hour, fun fact and
(42:10):
