you're hurting an accident, winning is everything called the Winning
Attorneys at Sweet James eight hundred and nine million or
sweet James dot com. Now, Matt has really dealt with
a lot today. He woke up in Texas and he
flew home, and he drove in the rain like Orange
Juice Jones all the way to Burbank. And we're doing
the show that way because.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Does the people deserve it.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
We're a hard working show.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
People deserve it.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Staring at my lizard's gullet because that's what the people deserve.
Uh that being said, well, your lizard deserves that. Yes, sure,
there's some housekeeping from yesterday. That And I've talked about
this before. Every once in a while I have to
rabbit punch somebody back on the text also line. It

(03:15):
doesn't mean.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
The short show yesterday. It was an early show.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It was a short show yesterday. But every once in
a while somebody gets a real quick punchback, and a
lot of the time maybe that person doesn't deserve it. Everybody,
most everybody is anonymous on the secret textos line, except
some people like their picture shows up because they open
it up to everybody or whatever. But every once in
a while, you know, maybe I'm in a little bit

(03:39):
of a sour mood. Maybe my daughter kicked me in
the shin this morning with her boot because she broke
her toe and kicked me in the shin in a
stupid boot.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
But anyway, an orthotic boot.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Think he's in a boot, yeah literally, like in a
like Cam Newton's in a boot because he sprained his ankle. Anything.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I think she's into the country music, so she's wearing
boots now, no, no.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Or she could be wearing two boots like that one
Petros and Money listener that wears two orthonic boots. Win
the truck, Yeah, that's that he was up to win
the truck. But without digressing. Every once in a while,
you know, maybe I'm in the sour mood. Maybe there's
something about the text hits a nerve, strikes a nerve,
struck a nerve, and uh, you know, I'll write back

(04:26):
the F word, but I usually what I ride back
is like, hey, f off, and usually people go like
and then I just let it hang like that's what
you get. Every once in a while. The secret textoso
like a cobra will bite you back riding the boots.
And what happened this time was it was about our

(04:47):
Disneyland discussion yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
The exorbitant prices of Disneyland being discussed by the higher
ups in an effort to ingratiate themselves to a frustrated public.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yes, Disneyland looking at Disneyland and saying, hey, looks like
our prices is pretty high. And we had that discussion
on air, and I got a text from a guy
like right after the kids got out of the car
this morning, Yeah, this morning, so like guy that was
podcasting just consumed it.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Hey, I want to I want to be heard, even
though I'm twelve hours late on it.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
And when my kids get out of the car, my
demeanor and the look on my face is much like
Arnold Swarzenegger and the local woman in the end of
Predator in the helicopter flying away just broken and destroyed.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh the latina.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, maybe a mind could have been but was it
not an easy morning, you know, with the shin being
kicked with the orthotic boot. And I got a text
that's debatable. I got a text from a guy that said, man,

(06:00):
you and Matt really dropped the ball on the Disneyland
conversation yesterday between Genie Pass and Lightning Pass congratulate. He
was just really snarky and I wrote that idiots yeah,
and I wrote hey, fall and the guy was like,
are just trying to make constructive He's like, no, you weren't.

(06:21):
I didn't. I didn't answer him back. I guess I
am had l left on open right. So I don't
know if I feel bad about it. But a lot
of people had something to say. I say, I say
say about chance.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Sorry, we got it all wrong.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well there's all I guess. There's all these different things
that you can purchase. The day Pass is different than
the Genie Pass, is different than the Club sixty nine,
Mickey's balls or your face. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know when Mickey's almond balls go on your
neck how much that costs.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I just know it's damn expensive now compared to what
we used to pay. It used to be affordable. It
is no longer affordable.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
But Matt, you know, like so many things in great
sports talk, the positive sports talk, even going to BJ's,
the positive almost always outweighs the negative in the world
of great sports talk. And I have this text to
share from today and the Secret Textos.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
The Secret text does a fine brought to you by
your Sokel Toyota dealers.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
We make it easy one of our listeners' perspectives on
going to Disneyland, and I hope I do it justice.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
In the read, Well, you probably need to get some
pushback from that guy.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I don't know if that guy will be pushing back
for a while. He's gonna be a little banged up
for a while. From the texto, so rabbit punch. Every
once in a while, you know, it's like throwing pennies
into a fountain, and every once in a while, the
fountain throws a big handful of pennies like buckshot right
at your face, and.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
You never know what's gonna be it does does it?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Are you ready for this or not? I'm ready, Petros.
I'm catching up with yesterday's podcast and your discussion about
the exorbitant fees Disneyland charges. I have three kids, so
I know, no matter what, once a year, I'm going
to have to bend over and grab my ankles while
I get nailed by the mouse. I have three boys,
and they all eat like it's their last meal. Especially

(08:27):
when we're Disneyland. I can literally feel my bank account
draining the further we get into the park. And to
hell with those corn dogs. It's about those g damn
turkey legs. You try to resist because they cost as
much as a Toyota Corolla, but they smell so good
and before you know it, you're chowing down on a giant,

(08:47):
running back sized leg of some mutant fowl. Thank you, sir.
Disneyland is an egregious place as far as the charges go,
and we endorse knots Berry Farm here as a show,
not even close collectively. We don't always collectively endorse one thing.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Well, at least you and I. I don't know if
Kates is on board with our appreciation, admiration, and dedication
to knots Very Farm, but certainly the two of us
be it boys and berry fried chicken meals.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
As a Californian, I can't see Kate's bending the need
of Disney.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
But he never weighs in when we discuss Knots. He
never joins in. Other times, when we discuss things that
he too appreciates, he always rings the doorbell and pardon
the pun himes in.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Well, one thing about Knas is you don't have a
bunch of dork idiot clubs walking around in vasts like
they're gonna squab and gang gang up. You don't have that, No,
you do not. Maybe some cowboys in India, well you know.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
A little kid you want to wear Well.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
I don't hear Kate's chiming in now, Well not Verry
Farm doesn't have like Disneyland gangs, like those gangs, but
remember notts Berry Farm. Also, you have to have a
person over the age of eighteen with you because all
the fighting that is not true.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's a lie you're talking about. Yeah, you're talking about
Magic Mountain.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
No, not very far.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Reinstating chaperone policy, okay, big deed in response to fight
happening all over the park involving teenagers at knots Berry Farm,
that's old s man.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
And they're not fighting over the jam either, that's old
s man.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Preserves. Please have some respect for Walter Cordelia.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
I've been to knots Berry Farm. I think twice.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
I told you what I mean, I knew it, and
both times I went kicking and screaming.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I knew it.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Like a plumber.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
You this out and then I was close to nots
When you guys were at the Rock and Bruise and
Boyna Park, we were like one hundred yards from the entrance,
yet right.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
There you wanted to go.

Speaker 7 (11:00):
No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I knew it. I knew it.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Are we on an island? What about Ronnie?

Speaker 5 (11:08):
I love nuts berry. I go there just for the
chicken by itself.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
The last time you went, Ronnie, come on?

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Last time in all honesty, probably about two years ago.
But do you know what as a as a kid,
I went to Knotsbury far more than Disneyland.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
There, cakes and then.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Goddamn chicken is something that I was raised on.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Loving, no doubt you Kate, you could have seen that
coming a mile away. You knew Ronnie would love the
chicken meal, no question. And I bet you even drink
the bois and berry juice while you kid boisonberry ice cream,
Bois and berry everything, boys and berry fast forever Ronnie
written all over at KG idiot?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
How about that? Kate's fun out there? Yeah? You want
to get your bandle and walk down the street and shame.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
Next thing you know, you got a knife in you.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Go hang out with the Hoboes at the Doughnut prints, Kate's.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Head on a swivel on notds Berry Farm, p you'd.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Never been to Cloud nine, man cloud nine? Back at the.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Cloud nine airbrush t shirt at Disneyland that says, hey,
what's up? Say?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's exactly what it says.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Don't look at me, puppet.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know is Kate's Is it because you've you feel
as though you have some sort of allegiance to Magic Mountain?
Is that? Is that what this is? Born and bred?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I mean, that's not exactly close to Santa Barna, but
closer than not.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
It's quite closer than not.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Please don't tell me that you hate Snoopy.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Who he doesn't even know. Yeah, he doesn't even know
camp Snoopy is there, he doesn't even know.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Kates doesn't share our love for Shoals and Vince Waraldi
and Lucy.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
And if there wasn't Disneyland on the table, we would
go to Magic Mountain. Nots Berry Farm was a distant
I mean distant.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Third, how about that alligator farm down the street that
used to be there from not to Berry Farm right on?
I think it was a beach boulevard. You used to
have an alligator farm.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
I don't even know what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
That we went there. We went there for a middle
school field trip. Never forget that either.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
I heard Sawn Adam lost an ankle out.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
I think took it.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I don't know how you feel Kate's about Disney now,
but I am shocked. I am shocked that you would
buck the petro.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
He like think about just wouldn't let the girls watching Nickelodeon. Hm, hm,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
I think he's a full Disney guy. Why does he
feel about that now?

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, route, Well, yeah, it's that, you know, the crossroads
of being a cheap skate and an overprotective parent whose
kids aren't allowed to watch SpongeBob yep, I can tell
you which one's a boulevard and which one's a side street.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Freaking cheap skate. SpongeBob is very sexual. In fact, sponges
are are contraceptives.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
At that's exactly right.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Last time we went to Disneyland was with the Station
when you guys did the show out there.

Speaker 7 (13:58):
I don't know what was that eight years ago time?

Speaker 6 (14:00):
And the last time we went to California Adventure was
for the Station holiday party two years ago, and that
was free. So I don't think I paid for Disneyland
in a long time.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, I went this last one. I was over served
and was heckling ellen K on the parade. Not my
best hour.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
You heckled helen K at Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
A little bit. Yeah, she was like on the I
mean I wasn't heckling her, but you know, I was
just being no. I was like, there she goes se
Queen of California inventurel and case the best.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
I see those parades about this not very deep in public.
I mean like, no, it's not. She probably heard every
word you said. She absolutely did.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Here's myam cow.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Oh yeah, Universe, Oh yeah, that could be a two
Kates could be there.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
It is loyal University had Universal Studios passes growing up.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
Well they were like, yeah, I had Universal Studios passes
up to five years ago.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
So you're saying, I'm gonna get knife at Knots, but
I'm gonna be fine at the city Walk? Is that
what you're trying to tell me?

Speaker 7 (15:05):
Key, I mean this is growing up pre city Walk.
I mean this was o G. Universal Studios, a team truck,
I mean, the whole thing. This is back when you know.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
What's the main attraction beyond the studio tour at Universal
at that point.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, obviously Steve Hartman on the studio tour with the
mic in his hand doing the tour, that's the main attraction.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Uh it was Miami Vice at the time, it was
the Dog Show.

Speaker 7 (15:30):
Uh this is pre Simpson's, pre water World. Yeah, oh
oh yeah, yeah, man can look at him.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
You get Jaws, right.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
You still get Jaws on the tour though, right.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Party in the Red Sea Kong.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
Now they got Fast to the Furious there too.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
On this Back to the Future though. Back to the
Future was the best.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
There's a musical you can see, Ronnie. If you're nostalgic
about it.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Well, I'll just never forget that time that we went
for the station event and we went remember vass A
was there, and Vassie's cousin was there, and there are
a bunch of they're they're like like a group of
kids in front of us, and we were in line
waiting to go in and Vassie's cousin's dropping f bombs
left and right, left and right, and Dave and I
are looking at each other saying do you not see
these kids in front of us. Anyway, I digress.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Sorry what happened?

Speaker 5 (16:21):
I just told you?

Speaker 3 (16:23):
That was it?

Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah, that was it. It was we were waiting in
line to go inside the Back to the Future ride.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
David Vassi's cousin has a filthy mouth.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
You know what happened? Those young kids grew up and
started going not to Berry Farmer, get in trouble.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
That's what. So you know what, we remember that one
guy a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Universally you're dropping f bombs.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I knew it. I knew it. Kates, I knew it.
I knew it.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
Where are Universal Studios all day? Magic Mountain? Disney went, well.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
You have no love for real California. You're not a
real You're not. You know, somebody should come and confiscate
your guns. Walter not would be disgusting.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Freaking Transformers, stupid, Jurassic Park, dumb, ghost Town awesome, awesome,
paying for gold brilliant.

Speaker 7 (17:11):
That sounds fun.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
That attraction's amazing and it's real too, that's right.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
The only thing I remember is the log Jammer that's
still there.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
It's the best log ride around.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
That's the best log the Calico Mine. Yeah, log ride,
it's great.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's the best one around.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
I don't look, I don't want to go any further
with this because it's just going to create more bitterness.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
How do we get on this? How do we get
on the nuts? Disney We talked.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
About Disneyland yesterday and I had to punch that guy
back right this morning. And then that one guy said
that he has to buy a turkey leg the size
of a Corolla.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh yeah, you know. I always just looked at the
people eating the turkey legs and I was like, I
can't do that.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, I don't. I don't.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I can't be the guy that's eating the turkey leg here.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, what are you at? A rent fair?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Right time? Is like, I'm fine eating a corn dog
as big as my leg, but the idea of I'm
in a turkey leg in my face just seemed a
bit untoward.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Totally untoward Matt And if nobody's if people aren't toward,
then we don't want to be part of it.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Right, Calico Mine ride forever.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
We got, we got James Worthy. We'll ask him to
coming up next. You know, we're just like twelve year
old kids arguing about amusement parks.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
You know what texto source save it. I don't want
to hear it either.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
About well, there's some people like there's guys that like,
do I agree with Cocono's Kates?

Speaker 7 (18:30):
Oh, okay, I'll keep those coming.

Dennis Hopper gun in the air, you know, takes a
shot at the guy up on the platform. Who does

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
I just thought of that. I was like, yeah, I
remember being it. No, I wasn't in the audience. I
was on the freaking stage. Yeah, we've lived it.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
That's why we remember so vividly, Right, Matt, it was terrible.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I mean it was really really terrible.

(23:16):
Strong Built Ford Proud.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Joining us right now as you know, Matt one of
our favorites, and what a time of excitement and anticipation,
not just for the near future but the distant future.
Isn't this great That's how everybody feels with Luka Doncic
as a Laker. Lakers have been looking pretty good, and

(23:39):
they beat up on Utah. They're gonna beat up on
Utah again and then break the All Star Game. That is,
you know, not as much as of an event as
it used to be. You talk, you talk, but still
a very exciting time to be a Laker fan, no
doubt about it. Emmy Award winner, hall of Famer and
a hero to all of us. The great James Worthy
on The Petterson Money Show us what's cracking, James? How

(24:01):
are you?

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Hey? Hey hey, rainy, rainy rainy looks beautiful outside.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
It is, and it's nice to have a little rain.
We don't mind the rain around town as long as
everybody's safe. Tell us, James, was it everything you thought
it would be? I mean, you've been to a part
of a lot of great nights that people were anticipating,
whether it's honoring somebody like Coop or Kareem or or
somebody handing the ball to Lebron when he breaks the record.

(24:27):
But to have Luka Doncic in the building and performing
and the excitement that was felt felt pretty special.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Absolutely. I mean there's certain you know dates and trades
and big things that have happened with the Lakers. I
mean Kareem being traded for Milwaukee. You know, Magic Johnson
being drafted by the Lakers, and that was the beginning
of showtime. You know, a coin toss, uh, you know,

(25:00):
getting getting getting James Worthy, you know, the number one
draft pick at eighty two. So there's been Kobe's shot,
but you know, getting Luca Doncis in twenty twenty five.
I don't mean, I don't mean Tom making a comparison,
but that night, the excitement and everything that was going
on in the building, you know, uh, it felt like,

(25:24):
you know, one of those moments like maybe Kobe's last game,
you know, where everybody just was so excited. You know,
it didn't have the celebrity crowd, even though there were
the Los Angeles so everybody's there. Kobe had it from
all over the world. But it was just one of
those feelings like it felt great, it felt good. The

(25:45):
future is you know solid now. A lot of people
were thinking, well, what what what's happening after Lebron It's
a d go a stake and we build around him,
you know, so that has been you know, NULLI five.
Everybody thinks now that with a twenty five year old
feen On that the future is bright. The current situation

(26:09):
it's pretty pretty bright too. So the team has been
trending in the right direction defensively, one of the best
in the league the last month or so. So, yeah,
it's it's it's another level, you know, it's it's almost
like you're in you know, Lakers had a four year
car and now all of a sudden we got five years.

(26:30):
Oh yeah with Lucas Cunning.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, James, just in terms of the basketball, what did
it look like to you? How long you think it'll
it'll take? I mean the guy's been out since Christmas,
it's been a while. Just kind of what you saw
from him and and what you think it's going to
look like. And I don't know, let's just say two
weeks a month, Like, what, what do you anticipate this
taken in to kind of get his basketball leagues underneath
him again?

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Well, I think the first thing I anticipate is that,
you know, Lebron's probably picking him up and taking him
the practice in the morning, you know, getting him into
a routine of you know, just a little bit more
than he's done as far as discipline. Uh talking to
him about how he keets his body. But what I
saw the other night was typical Luca. A little bit

(27:17):
out of shape, you know, obviously hadn't played since December,
but still effective. You know he uh h hit the
ball in his hand. Is it's you know, it's it's
very positive. You know something's going to happen. His ability
to score, his ability to pass from anywhere. It's almost

(27:38):
like having you know, too, Magic Johnson's on the floor
at the same time with with Luca and Lebron. But
Luca has this dynamic eye sight very similar to he
and Yolkicks kind of have that that floor vision. So
but yeah, he's not in shape. Obviously, you know, the
defense will be test. You know, that's something that I

(28:02):
think JJ Riddick coach Reddick will you know, probably have
a lot to say about how he can improve in
that area.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
What about just pace, I mean, you know, the Mavericks
you know, operated at the most deliberate pace of any
team in basketball last year. Does does that jibe with
kind of how Lebron and Austin Reeves and JJ Reddick
want to play or are they going to have to
accommodate sort of the pace that Luca likes to play,
and just how damn devastating he is in these half

(28:31):
court sets.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
So devastating, And how does the ability Like one of
the best plays the other night was, you know, Luca,
he does it all. He can rebound, he can score,
he can pass. He got a rebound, took one pass,
I mean one dribble and made that long pass over
the defense. So his ability to be quicker does it

(28:56):
come in his body speed? But I think it comes
to his ability to pass the ball anywhere from you know,
twenty to thirty feet with accuracy. So he's not going
to slow people down. There's people running like magic could
get it to you from safety feet, you know, safety feet.
So he has a pace that's not super fast, but

(29:20):
while everyone else is running fast, his pace is fast
enough to you know, make accurate passes. From what I've seen.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
The Great James Worthy is our guest Spectrum Sports at LA.
A lot of excitement about his Lakers in town. One
of the negative things that has happened is this trade
is being contested. It's very awkward, and now you got
connect kind of trying to process it all. The young
guy looking all angry there on the bench. How do
you think this is going to play itself out, James.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Well, he'll get over it. Unfortunately. You know, all players
always say when they get traded, All players always say, well,
I know it's a business, and you know, I understand,
but when something like this happens, you kind of have
to have that same answer. It's a business, it's the
way it is. I'll get through it. You know, he

(30:16):
was very positive here and he just needs to continue
that and understand that he's a commodity. You know, it's
tough in this league when you know your trade bait.
But I never got traded, but my name came up
from time to time. As long as I do, someone
wanted me, and that you know, in order to get something,

(30:38):
you got to give something. I always said, Okay, it
hurts a little bit, but you know, I still have
a job, and you know, and he's young man, he's
got he's got a long career. He just needs to
talk to guys you know his age whould have been
traded and you know and understand that. You know, you
just have to grind through it.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
James, what as someone who had I'm sure plenty of experience.
It seemed like there were a lot more of them
back when you were playing Alex Len. What is the big, meaty, fleshy,
two hundred and eighty pound white guy's got six files,
maybe seven or eight minutes? What does that give the
Lakers now that they got him? Who I would assume

(31:17):
is someone that will be matchup based, right, And you
need to have a body like that for the Luca
or the Nikola Yokich's and that sort of you know,
showdown you may have in the postseason.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yeah, sometimes you need those Greg Kite you know, there
you go come in and wear you down. Kareem hated
Greg Kite. He just war them out. He boxed Kareem
out every time. You know, he got into Kareem's hips.
And you know you need a guy like that to
help get in the way, you know, don't you know,

(31:52):
especially if they know how to do it, you know,
if they know how to come in and kind of
wear you down and getting away and frustrates you. And
six files they have, you know, don't make it easy
on a guy like Jolkics or mb didn't you know
it's it's he's done his job. And so I think

(32:14):
he can do that, you know, pretty smart guy. I
hope he can clog up the middle and tip some
balls out for offensive rebounds or whatever it takes to
be physical with other bags when we need him.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
You know, Jackson Hayes well enough. I'm sure he's been
on the team long enough. Like how how do you
think all this sits with him? The oh Lakers, you know,
they got to go get Mark Williams oh Man, I
really just kind of blew it for this year. They're
gonna have to figure something out, like what's what's going
on with the player when when he's out there as
the starting center and how much the game do you
think he has in him that that can be raised

(32:48):
compared to what he's given them so far since he's
probably going to be the starter now moving forward.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
One of the greatest attitudes on the team love Hayes
his energy along with along with well when we have
MaTx Christy, Uh. I used to love to see them
in the game, and then we had h Vanderbilt back.
That's kind of energy they need, you know, you know,
those kind of dogs that that come in and and
and just give you the energy, you know, uh uh

(33:15):
Danny Smith is one of those dogs, and so you know,
he's not supposed to be starting, but he knows that,
he knows a d is gone and he's he's got
an opportunity and he's he's taking full advantage of it.
You know. I see sometimes where he has eight rebounds.
His plus minus is always in a positive, you know way,
And I love him. He's not He's not gonna. He's

(33:36):
not gonna, you know, really care what the what what
coach you know, uh, you know, Reddick does. And that's
the thing about the coach. He's really good at communicating
what could or could not be right now. He's got
he's got an age plan, you know, at full capacity.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
James, we hope you enjoy the All Star break after
another night of work coming up here with Geeter and uh,
we don't know, Oh, if you have to go out
to the All Star Game and wear a leather jacket
on a stage or anything, you don't have to do that.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Do you. I'm I'm gonna chill this year, man. This
usually mind Hawaii trip, but I'm gonna stay in La
man and and just hang out and just enjoy the
rain and relax and you know, catch up on some
stuff I gotta I gotta cleed out of storage space.
You know, that's that kind of stuff that stinks.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
We'll keep your head on a swivel out there in
public storage.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Well, fortunately it's in my garage. But oh yeah, still paying,
still paying the ass. Yes it is.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
There's no doubt. Quite literally, the great James Worthy. We
appreciate him. Thank you, James, and Matt will be right back.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
We will. James Worthy as always brought to you by
your Southern California four Dealers if your vehicle was damaged
by the recent LA Area fires, or Southern California four
Dealers offering you employee pricing plus no payments for one
hundred and twenty days. Because this is our home too.
It takes all of us to turn heartbreak and heartache
into hope, rebuild, and make it home again. La Strong,
Build Ford Proud. Feel as though we maybe touched on

(35:06):
a topic that could feature some textosis. What luka doncic
no knots man, excuse me knots.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Look, this is a show of sophisticated people, you know,
I mean, Matt, you're a great communicator with that beautiful
voice and that sharp witt of yours. Oh yeah, so
sh sit here and lower ourselves and argue about amusement parks.
That's a bunch of eleven year old.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
If it's what the people want.

Speaker 7 (35:37):
Didn't you spend the first twenty minutes of the show
doing exactly that?

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Well? I wanted to talk about having to punch that
got back about the rabbit punch you executed. I'm a
human being, you know what I mean. I had to
wait for that guy to turn around so I could
punch him hard in the back of the head and
then run away. We'll have a more sophisticated segment neck. No,
we will guarantee that.

Speaker 7 (36:12):
It's still twenty after the hour, roughly route around there here.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Did you know there was a Valentine's Day lunch today
at work and you're in the building. There was a
Valentine's Day lunch today? Did anybody attend it? I did
not go.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
No, very uncomfortable for a married man to go into
a Valentine's work party, right, I did not either, all right?

Speaker 4 (36:34):
But they did have.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
Food, and from what I heard, you could send Valentine's
grams to people in the building, which was.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
Right, really weird, Like.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
God, I'll send one to Michelle Cbe and the.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
Food of choice Fresh Brothers, heart shaped pizza not Fresh Brothers.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I looked, no, go ahead, and Matt, why don't you
go up there and ridicule the people that are going
to try to eat it?

Speaker 4 (36:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Wait a minute, there goes food. Hey, hey, that's been
out there pretty long. That's gross. Look at congealing.

Speaker 7 (37:06):
Can't see Foush's face. The pile of pizza so high?

Speaker 3 (37:10):
All right? Uh? How much you think Rodney would pop off?
The big game? James saying that Luca is as big
as Kobe's last game?

Speaker 6 (37:19):
The secret text does.

Speaker 5 (37:20):
A fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
I guess not much.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
I don't know much.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
I heard that Jonas Knox hosted the Rogan and Rodney today,
but Rodney made an appearance. Yeah, but Rodney made an appearance.
What were they mad about? What was the story?

Speaker 5 (37:46):
Well, apparently Rodney Pete was driving on the road and said,
I'm gonna call it in the show and see what's
going on. But why oh no, no, no, he was
he was going to the John Robinson Memorial service.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
How come no one invited me to that? I played
for him.

Speaker 7 (38:05):
I didn't want to bring it up Petros.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
I can't win maybe a touch. Everybody hates me. That's fine. Uh,
kind of happy for David Vassa and Kate's spring training
coming back means they both get to see their secret
families again, that's true. Well yeah, but they come out

(38:29):
to surprise. I thought it was Hammett. I thought it was.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
Lithe hat p.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Knots Berry Farm just exposed. Kate's like one of the
monsters on Men in Black. That grotesque face hiding under
the facade has been exposed for all the city. Kate's's
heresy against Knats is veried. Is a little disturbing. Not
happy about it. I got my first handy grad night

(39:04):
ninety six on Splash Mountain, and I'm still talking about
Knots and the Spirit Lodge. Knots has all those you
must be this tall to ride signs and a little
stubby legged Kates hates it. Those turkey legs at Disneyland

(39:28):
are disgusting, with flies hanging all off them. Horrible. Wait
a minute, it's not like the open market in Istanbul. Okay, No,
of course they snatch them up. Somebody comes in. It's
like if you drop a cigarette but somebody comes and

(39:49):
scoops up the rubbit. It's not that I wasn't invited
to the funeral. I did not know about it, that's all. Well,
it's not like a funeral they send out invitations like, hey,
guess what coach died? You know, it's not I get

(40:10):
I thought it would be. But I still don't know
who Man Cow is. Guys, wait a minute, No, he's
prominently featured in the second remake of Death Wish with Bruto.
Willis you ever see that one where his wife is
Lizzie Shoe and she gets killed in the beginning. Man

(40:33):
Cow's in that movie. He's all over that movie. It's
not pleasant to watch Lizzie Shoe be raped and murdered. No,
it's not pleasant at all. No, Man Cow is Man Cow.
Say what you want about Man Cow, but I take

(40:54):
him from twelve to two from they come on. He
doesn't do a sports show, guy. All he does is
talk about Chicago and Bruno. Willis you know better than
to ask Ronnie to finish the story you came dangerously
close to. I don't know, Petros, that wasn't pertinent to
the segment.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
I don't know, don that's uh, that's what I read.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
What's the other one?

Speaker 5 (41:17):
I don't know and didn't care. It's immaterial for this
particular segment of the show.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Millions of this guy writes. Meanwhile, millions of listeners all
waiting to hear if DV told his foulmouth cousin to
shut up, but he did he didn't. Hey, Dave, you
remember when your cousin was swearing that one time of
a Universal Studios tour and there were kids.

Speaker 7 (41:52):
I feel like we had two Universal Studios days oh
five and Petros. You weren't around for that. That was
and then later on because Bruno was there and I
was there with Bruno.

Speaker 5 (42:05):
Yes, Jim is correct, we did have two.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
I did go to Universal. Yeah, but there was no
man cow.

Speaker 7 (42:16):
That was two thousand and five.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
TJ and Tracy and Tracy Simer's a very early Brownie
James indicator here in Los Angeles. God rest TJ soul
of course. But you know that was like the Hey,
I'm going to take a job so I can give
my kid to do it. That was a very that
was a very brawny moment. Hey, that guy can coach,

(42:45):
this says, you will get wet, you may get soaked. Well,
there's some texts. I didn't do it more about Knots
because we're higher brow than that. We're a stronger show

(43:07):
of countenance.

Speaker 6 (43:11):
It was last time you guys went to Knots, Petros, Well,
we were so closed. Okay, Matt, oh okay, oh oh, Petros.
How many times have the Papadaka's kids been to the
not to Very farm?

Speaker 3 (43:33):
More than once?

Speaker 7 (43:34):
Okay, less than twice?

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Well, you know I don't like to go anywhere. I'm
on a radio show. What do you want me to
talk about? I have memories of before I was shut in.
You want to expose me? Yeah, so what I've so
what I've decided to become isolated and weird. You don't
have to make a whole thing out of it. Hey, Petros,

(44:00):
let me ask you a question like this is some
kind of congressional hearing. Uncool, totally uncool. I'm gonna call
Man Truth News. You gotta get that Texas out of

(44:22):
your blood. Matt, you're on Alabama. Uh, we'll be right
back with your word number song of the day on
your Man Cow Show of Record.
