You can listen to us in the skies. You can
listen to us underwater as long as you have a signal.
I guess it'd be hard underwater.

If you didn't have a signal, it would be hard,
but you know you could figure it out if you

Three hours started an hour ago. We are going until
five because we have Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That's right, Matt, we have Clippers basketball. We've got UCLA
basketball tomorrow, which will be another flex alertler. In the
last hour, Matt talked about how the Lakers and the
Clippers are in better shape than the Signs and the Warriors,
so we had that going for us here as the city.
(01:55):
We also talked about the Petros and Money Warriors Big Stormwatch.
There is a storm watch post on AM five seventies,
Instagram and x account that you can see the Petros
and Money show addressing the swift water of the La River.
And we just wanted to show, or I guess I
(02:17):
wanted to show and Matt did approve. In the first segment,
I believe or uh lukerote warm approval, but I will
I appreciate that. I wanted to show the local news
types like these these foot soldiers that are walking around
in Altadena right now, acting cool, talking about mud, that
(02:38):
they're not the only ones that can stand around in
the rain and scream and yell into the into the ether. Okay,
it's not just you guys. Question yeah, or you know,
don't be a clown, uh, Matt, we do have a
word of the day.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Did you know Johnny Manzel was dating jose Canseco's model daughter,
Josie Conseko.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
They were dating. They'd been together for about a year,
and sadly, according to TMZ, they have broken up. Now
is this a great American power couple? I don't know.
Johnny football one of the great most legendary college football
players of all time, Heisman winner and virtual god in
(03:35):
college station. Josie Conseko a lovely woman and a model,
kind of a long jump shooter, the kind that you like, Matt.
And apparently Josie's the one that dumped Johnny Manziel. But
they still have love for each other and it's not
(03:55):
that much of a bitter breakup. According to Josie's source,
Johnny Manziel was a great boyfriend. He just had some
work to do on himself, which sounds like his nose
what he does every year is still a little cochi.
She hung around with a bloke named Smokey. She loved
(04:16):
him though he was Cokie. He took her down to
Chinatown and he showed her how to kick the gong around.
I'm sad for Johnny Manziel. Matt, you know, I want
Johnny Manziel to stop drinking tall boys and golfing with
his dad and get his life together and put it
(04:38):
in the right direction. But it doesn't seem like it's
going to happen. And now his model girlfriend, Josie Kenseko
has said goodbye. Do you know his first girlfriend was
with h ended up having babies with Nick Cannon.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, a lot of girls have had babies with Nick
the Cannon.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
She's one of them. So Johnny Manziel, you know, he
knows how to pick him whatever. Whatever romantic circles he's
running in, he's running into the Great jose Canseco, half
of the Bash Brothers, and Nick the cannon with the
super sperm.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, so nobody's got more super super sperm than Nick
the Cannon.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I hope that both of we love young love here
on the Petrosen Money Show. As I look at another
shot of the La River where head of your k cow.
We love one young love here on the Petrosen Money Show,
and we hate to see when a young couple breaks
up and calls it quits. Man, it hurts all of
our hearts. Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Can't wait to see who she stumbles upon next right
for her Instagram feed. Vince Young, your number of the
day is one million. Okay, I don't know if you ice.
I'm guessing you may operate the same way I do.
Rarely do I adhere to the recalls that are sent
to me for products that I have purchased in the past.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Now, well, if you bought like a whole boar's head
turkey and they're like, hey, that's recall, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, I gotta throw that away, no doubt. Thankfully, I
have not had to do the food recall thing, but
I mean, like we had a space here that was
like you're gonna send it back and it'll be four
dollars shipping, but will refund that to him. Like whatever,
I'm just throw this stupid space heat.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
The only time I hear about a recall and it
was when I had the Cheves. You know, every once
in a while, I get a call from George Lee.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You say you gotta bring a car.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, you say, you know there's a recall on your Chevy.
It's gonna blow up. Bring it back.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, the seat belt's gonna force you out of the car.
There's an explosive device below your seat and it's going
to eject. Yeah, those things I can. Don't hit the
hazard lights yet, end of the sky exactly. This is
one of the better ones I've seen. Igloo, and I
love Igloo coolers. We talked about the YETI and them
being unwilling to allow the Utah Hockey Club to be
(06:57):
renamed the Utah yettis sure because they own the trademark,
which is BS. So I love Iglow coolers, Iglu coolers,
and it pains me to do this to you, Iglu,
but you're the one that issued the recall. I do
believe if I had purchased an Iglu cooler, and there
had been many many finger injuries, broken bones, including a
(07:20):
finger amputation because of a flaw in their designs. Who yes,
I might go ahead and heed that recall. A million
coolers recalled today after more than a dozen customers reported
severe fingertip injuries, one of them and amputation. It is
(07:42):
the ninety court flip and toe rolling cooler that is
being recalled. There is a circular pattern on the bottom
with an arrow pointing to the month of manufacturer. You
want to make sure that reads twenty twenty four of
January or later. Sold at Costco, Target, Dick Sporting Goods, Amazon, IGLUC,
coolers dot Com and other websites from January twenty nineteen
(08:03):
to January twenty twenty five between eighty and one hundred
and forty dollars. Yes, twelve plus reports of fingertip injuries.
There is a severe pinch that occurs between the drawer
on the top there, one of which resulted in the
drawer of steamed buns exactly. It says that they're opening.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
The drawer to get yourself like a sculpin cause you're white, right,
and then all of a sudden you've lost your finger
and you don't get to party with your igler you're
at the emergency. What happened, man?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Where's my beer? I lost my finger? Man?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
You what?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes, a finger to multiple broken bones, multiple finger injuries,
and one multiple lacerations and one amputation of a fingertip
gos So.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You think yet he pissed people off? Igloo said, hold
my beer.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And be careful when you hold it, so cut off
your finger.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Who sucks the hardest? Here? We got Yetti, who wouldn't
let the Utah hockey team be the yetis right, which
is so stupid because it's thousands of year old term
for a for a snow abottinable snowman.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, and nobody's gonna skip buying the YETI cooler brand
sweatshirt because they already bought it.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Shut up. Yeah, so YETI very egregious there. Then you
have Stanley, which we've talked about, which a bunch of
they don't even like. They tip over and then the
water spills out everywhere, and they should just be a
working man's lunch box. Yeah, well, now it's become an
accessory for white chicks. And then and now you have Igloo,
(09:39):
which is literally turning people into four fingered.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Weirdos, cutting off fingers you know.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, if you're walking around with four fingers in England,
they think you got caught for stealing something. That's what
they did in the village, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So I'm still going with Igloo, even though i might
lose a finger.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah. Well, it's certainly it certainly is the og indie
rock choice of the especially right now. Yeah, and that's
us to a t, no doubt. Speaking of that, this
is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Burt Bacharack and held David wrote today's song of the
day called rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head, performed
by bj Thomas for the film Butch Cassidy and the
Sun Dance Kid that won an Academy Award for Best
Original Song in nineteen sixty nine. Because it is a
crunchy groove Thursday, it's also award season and the Petros
(10:32):
and Money Show has achieved success with being award at
number twelve and the best sports talk radio category according
to Barretmedia dot Com. Meanwhile, the Clippers will be looking
for a little success of their own against the Utah
Jazz on a back to back at Delta Center in
Salt Lake City. And you know, our good friend Adam
Oslin will be down the hall working hard to get
(10:53):
you that Clippers countdown show at five o'clock.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
All right, running, stay dry.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Don McLain will join us next a weather related song
of the day, very appropriate as we are on stormwatch. Absolutely,
you know, Matt, what if we just jerked the wheel
and we became Coleman guys? Oh, not a bad idea, right,
Coleman didn't do anything. No, and they make the stoves
(11:24):
too and all that sort of stoven hole. We'll be
right back with Don McClain.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Working our way toward five o'clock for Clipper pregame, headed
into Clippers Jazz. Hey reminder, the PGA Tours in fact
back right now in Southern California should have been LA
Open Week at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Sadly the
Fires moved the event down to Tory Pines, but it
is still happening. Scottie Scheffler, Rory mcelroyd, Jordan's Speeth, Colin Morrikawa,
(12:00):
all the big names are down there for the signature events.
So get down where the legends are made. Today it started,
It runs all the way through Sunday and you can
get your tickets at Genesis Invitational dot.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Com joining us right now live from the La River
is the leading scoring the history of the Pac twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He is.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Statue at Seami Valley and Lemon Park is rain drenched.
Right now. You see him on the Big Ten Network
at Best One Fan Duel Sports with those Clippers who
had a pretty good first half. The next ass he
kisses will be the first. He's joining us in your
(12:43):
Southern California at Toyota Dealer Celebrity hot Line. It is
Don McClain. Ladies and gentlemen, Hello, Don, how are you?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I apologize in advance. Guys, I'm stuck in the car
and I didn't realize doing this hit you would be
able to probably hear the rain coming down.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
That's okay, you know it is.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It is raining like a cow pissing on a flat
rock out here right now.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Ayah, cow bit.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Fabulous? Don fabulous? Uh uh now, Dona, I guess first
things first, we got to talk about the Lakers. I
don't know if it's a big deal that they lost
to the Jazz last night. I know the Clippers were
playing at the same time. Going into the All Star Break,
they'd won ten of eleven or something, So is it
a big deal that that they lose that game going
(13:34):
into the All Star Break, or is it a bigger
deal that they have to acclimate Luca to this team
and get this guy in shape.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Way, bigger deal acclimating Luca. They're gonna they're gonna lose
some games here coming out of the break too. Just
figuring out rotations and minutes and staggering minutes and doing
all the things that you need to do when you
add a caliber the player of Luca. But that doesn't
mean it's not gonna work. It's just it's gonna take
some time. It's been proven year after year whenever these
(14:01):
superstars get together that it's not an immediate thing. So
not surprised they lost last night, the last game before
the breaks, always the hardest regular season game of the year.
And also just trying to figure out, you know, what
Luke is going to be and how he's going to
fit in there.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What about the rest of the I know I've asked
you before, Don, but just kind of now that the
trade deadline has passed, teams are what they are. There's
going to be a couple of buyout guys. We'll get
into what the Clippers did with the buyout here in
a second. But it's kind of how you think they
stack up and what percentage of chance you think they
have of just kind of let's just say making a
conference finals run, because man, that ten and eleven has
(14:40):
looked pretty darn good.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, you're talking about the Lakers, Matt.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, the Lakers still done well.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I thought you meant maybe the whole Western Conference. No, look,
it's hard to say. It really is because of Lebron
and where he's at as a player. How motivated is.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Luca going to be?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I have a feeling he's going to be motivated. How
did the other pieces fit with that? Defensively? Are they
gonna be good enough? Because that's the thing when adding
Luca and generational offensive player but not a good defensive player.
So what does that mean when you get to the playoffs.
I don't know. As much as I think I know
about this game, I'm not sure in two months or
(15:19):
in April, when the regular season's finished, where the Lakers
are gonna be. I really don't. They could be unbelievably
good and we're talking about them maybe winning the whole thing,
or they could be well, it just didn't work out
this year.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, and you know what, just go to where you
were gonna go, and that is the West as a whole.
Because you know, while we're all and we should be
freaking out over the Oklahoma City Thunder, they look like
a buzz saw right now and they weren't even healthy
prior to the last week. But in the meantime, Nikola
jokicch and the Nuggets have won eight straight and they're
starting to hit their stride. Is it top heavy or
(15:54):
do you think it's pretty even? You know, if you can,
just like you said, punch your ticket in a tournament
and see how this thing plays out.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
I think it's that, man. I think I look, Oklahoma
City is really really good, and aln Holdgrin's back and
Hartenstein's back like they're even better. So they're the favorite,
but I don't think they're like an overwhelming favorite where
all of us are saying, well, you know, it's gonna
be hard for anyone to beat them in a seven
game series. I think they're the favorite, but it's not
by a lot. And I think Denver, you know, will
(16:25):
get it together in the playoffs. They got the best
player in the game, you know, the one the one
interesting team for me is Houston that's up there and
Memphis for that matter, Like both those teams are surprises
that they are where they are, so will they be
able to carry that into the playoffs? And they're inexperienced,
Houston more inexperienced than Memphis. But it's going to be interesting.
(16:47):
I think that the Clippers have a chance as well.
I think the Lakers. There's a lot of teams that
I wouldn't be surprised if they got to the conference finals.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
The one and only Don McClain dropping knowledge as always
on the Pettersen Money Show regarding basketball and live calling
in the airstrike from Saigon in his car right now,
Don the Clippers finish up tonight taken on the Jazz.
Like you said, the hardest game of the year is
the game before the break. But the Clippers have to
(17:20):
be pretty surprised or pleasantly surprised with how the first
half went, or maybe that's what they expected.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
No, I think I think it's above expectations. If you
go back to what happened in the offseason and PG Leavin,
I think everybody thought they would go back to being,
you know, at best, a playing team. There's a lot
of people that didn't even pick them in the playing
before the season started. So they've definitely exceeded expectations. And
you just wonder, with what they've added, does it strengthen
(17:47):
them enough that they can make a run in the playoffs.
But that's kind of what I just said. I wouldn't
be surprised if they did, if they got hot in
April and in one of playoff series or two and
found themselves in the conference finals.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What do you make of the Ben Simmons thing? Don
I mean, we know you get drafted number one overall,
there's always going to be teams that want to see
if they could kind of figure it out. But sort
of what's happened with Ben thus far and what might
the Clippers be able to figure out here?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Well, I think they're going to use him for what
he is. I don't think this is like a reclamation project.
At least from the outside looking in. It doesn't seem
like that that they're saying, oh, we can turn Ben
Simmons career around. I think it's no. We added a
big defender, playmaker, good passer, but he can't shoot, So
what's his role. I have a feeling his role isn't
(18:35):
going to be big. I think once you get to
the playoffs, you can use him for defensive purposes and
spelling hard in if you get in foul trouble. I
just I don't think he's going to be playing heavy
minutes on this Clipper team. But a good addition, you know,
especially when you talk about matchups in the playoffs, playing
different people. So I think a good signing by the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
What are you most excited about, don for NBA All
Star Weekend? I know you've bought your pileise and your
track tap and your potato salad and you're ready to
to really just you know, turn on the TV and
just be engrossed. What is I mean? Come on?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
First of all, ain't nobody eating potato salad over here?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Mac salad, coleslaw, No nothing.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Mac and cheese?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Okay, yeah, I don't really. I mean, if I'm home,
if I'm not doing college stuff, I will turn it
on because my boys will probably have it on and
I'll watch it. But I can't say that I'm really
looking forward to any of it, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You know, and everybody else I guess, well, you know
you got the four team I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Kevin Hart's gonna be the MC this year.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Oh, that's exciting. They got a They got four teams
this year, Donna, I would you care to handicap them
for us? You got the young guys, and then I
think you got the kind of young guys, and then
you got the old guys, and then you got the foreigners.
I think, or if I think, are the four teams
your your thoughts on which team you would want to
(20:11):
put your money on?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
There? Not the old guys, that's for sure. That's why
we have four teams in the All Star Game now
because of the old guys and not wanting to risk
anything during the All Star Game. You know what, I
don't know what they should do. You know, they've added
this other stuff along the way over the years. You guys,
tell me, is the Pro Bowl now?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Is that more exciting for people? They watch it more
once they got rid of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
They're all terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Maybe, I don't know, has some life.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I don't know. I don't know what the solution is.
Because I felt like the NFL was going down the
right road with just elimiting the game and making it
fun and having skills competitions. But if you guys are
saying that's not working, I'm not sure what you do
at this point. You see, I like too much like
them with money.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
No, the what they should do is do one, two, three,
can coon and give everybody the freaking week off. Uh
don UCLA is in Indiana. That's the first time they've
ever played at Assembly Hall. How much of a setback
was the loss to Illinois and and and you think
they'll be able to step up and beat Indiana tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I think they can. You know, Mike Woodson's gone after
this year. But it's interesting they throws up and beat
Michigan or somebody the other night.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Mich.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Michigan.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You're right, Michigan. You're right, Michigan.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah. And so you wonder where their heads are at.
But typically UCLA coming off a loss is pretty good.
They're fine. They're right where they should be.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
The one thing that they should keep playing for, though,
is the double buy in the Big Ten tournament. If
you finish in the top four seeds, you get a
double buy and you only have to win I think
three games to win the tournament to get the automatic bid.
Not that they need the automatic bid, But I think
that should be a goal of theirs to play less
in the Big ten turn tournament so you're more ready
for the NCAA tournament. But they're fine, They're they're They're
(22:04):
where they should be probably, and if they finished strong,
they get one of those top four seeds, they'll be
they'll be set up to make a run in the
Big ten tournament.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Thoughts on uh, I'm doing Auburn Alabama on Saturday, don
and uh? As I get the SEC notes, I noticed
they're including every team and four teams are going to
get a triple buy in the SEC basketball tournament. Your
thoughts on a triple by versus the Big ten slicing
out two teams and going with a double buy.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I don't, Well, it's it's interesting. I don't think anybody
deserves a triple by. I don't care how good your
season's been. But I also don't like the Big ten's
cutting out three teams either. Yeah, you know that, that's
that's the bad look for coaches. Like that can get
coaches fired. If you don't make the Big if you
don't forget the NCAA tournament, you can't even make the
Big ten tournament. It's just a bad look and I
(22:56):
hate it for the coaches. So I don't know what
this will says. Like the WCC, how about this. Everybody
makes it in the WCC. So if you're the last
or if you're ten or eleven, there's eleven teams. If
you're the tenor eleven seed. To win the WCC tournament,
you have to win six games sheets.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
It's like winning the tournament.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
They go to war the w CC. Brother, Well, we
appreciate you. Don get home safe, have a great weekend,
enjoy those all star festivities, know how much you're looking
forward to them. And uh, and be safe out on
the roads. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Don yep, all right, guys, doctor there he.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Goes Don McClain with the rain, Don McClain in the rain,
twas just a garden in the rain, close to a
little leafy lane that we call the four oh five freeway.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Coliseums right there, Colisseum, right out the four oh five,
right there.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Just ask Colin Cowherd. He's moving to Chicago, which is
right off of Lake Erie. Talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Exactly right.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Late, Titty Kaka, that's a good one, t k Tim Kate. Okay, Uh, Matt.
We're going to talk a little All Star. There was
a disappointing All Star thing. We'll discuss it. I think
everybody wants to know about the NBA All Star Game.
We'll talk about that. We still have our baseballing and
(24:23):
our quick hits and our fun fact in our day. Amsinger,
my god, Amzinger is going to bring this stinger, So
stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Petro some money, big thank you to Don McClain. Has
tonight the last night prior to the All Star break,
few games on the slate for the NBA. One of
them will be Clippers Jazz out there in Utah and
we will go to that at five pm a little
over an hour from now. But of course, if you
missed a conversation with Don, feel free to relive it
through the Petros and money Pot podcast. Make sure you
(25:01):
subscribe to that.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
All right, Matt, we have NBA All Star Weekend approaching,
and I mean it's not it's not the attraction that
it was when we were young. It's not well, the
NBA has really struggled to keep it relevant. And the
NBA All Star Weekend three point contest rematch that we
talk so much about with Caitlin Clark between the yeah,
(25:29):
and I guess I don't know why they would make
this announcement on Thursday. The only thing like the All
Star weekend is this, This is All Star Weekend. Yeah,
they're cleaning out tomorrow. Push brooms are pushing out the
poop and needles away from the street in front of
the Warriors Arena. Yeah, the Chase Center as we speak. Well,
(25:50):
they're chasing away some freaking meth heads as we speak.
And I could only imagine that they made this announcement
on Thursday because they thought that they could beg Caitlin
Clark to do it. They'd probably been blowing her agent
up or whoever, her weird boyfriend McCaffrey and offering more
(26:11):
and more money. But I love the fact that Caitlin
Clark doesn't give an app But it is not going
to save them here, probably because with the NBA mismanaged
the WNBA so poorly, and everybody treated her like crapping
her rookie year, even though she saved the league.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But I think it might be the opposite of that,
and I wish she would get over it. She continues
to try to ingratiate herself with her fellow WNBA players. Yeah,
and she's like, no, I'm not going to do it
for the NBA. I want to do it for the WNBA.
The first step or three point shoot it because they
didn't invite her the last time.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Doesn't the NBA run the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Essentially, they certainly want to subsidize it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah. One does not exist without the other. Yeah, so
what It was just a Steph Curry and New York
liberties Sabrina I and Escu that fell through. According to
report from Joe Varden and Anthony Slater of The Athletic,
despite the popularity of last season's addition to All Stars
(27:08):
Saturday Night, the dynamic Shooting duo will not run the
contest back all this gobblygook means we could not get
Caitlin Clark to do it. Curry and I and Escu
were reportedly not interested in the rematch. Instead, they wanted
to expand the contest to include Indiana feverstar Kaitlin Clark
and potentially Dallax Maverick's wing and Curry's former teammate our
(27:29):
friend Klay Thompson. Clark said no and they said please,
and she said no, and they said we won't smack
you upside the head like all those chicks in the WNBA.
And she still said no. She wants her first three
point contest to be at WNBA All Star Weekend, which
is held in Indianapolis later this summer. I don't understand.
(27:52):
I feel like they're the same company.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But go ahead, Tim, Why wouldn't they ask Angel Reeston
she's widely popped.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Well, she can do the thing where she shoots and
then gets her own rebound and shoots.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, she doesn't shoot threes.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, she has her own cereal though, but she's like
the best player in the WNBA. Not Somebody had her
cereal at the supermarket and they threw it at the
basket and it missed, so they picked it up, and
they threw it up the basket and missed again, and
then they picked it up and it took three or
four tries, but eventually they got it in there. The
(28:26):
box was a little beat up, a little worse for
wear and tear. But good luck to everybody involved in
the All Star weekend. I doubt that anything will happen
at All Star Weekend that will move the needle for
the NBA. But the NBA sitting a lot prettier than
they were a couple of weeks ago because of the
Luka Doncicic trade to the Lakers. It feels like that
(28:50):
gave the NBA a shot in the arm that it needed.
How long it will last, who's to say, especially with
the Sanders and Travis Hunter headed to the combine Matt
Smith later this month.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yes, this is the first year of the weird, the well,
the new let's try to save the All Star Game
approach where you've got like six teams Kenny versus Chuck
versus Shack versus Candace, the Rising Stars versus ten All
Star like it's a real S show this year. And
(29:23):
I don't know whether or not people will teat will
will tune in on Sunday, But if they do, thinking
they're going to find like a one hundred and seventy
to one hundred and sixty five East versus West showdown, No,
you're gonna see like, Hey, here's Kenny Smith's team against
Chuck Barkley's team of international stars, and here's Shacks old
guys versus Candace's Year one or Year two players, and
(29:47):
then the winners play like it is a real S show.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
God, you laid it out pretty well. Man. Now I
understand you know. I was having a hard time understanding.
But now that you laid out Candace has the first
year players, Bark has the euro trash, and Kenny's got
the local black guys, I feel like that's I did
not I don't believe that was Isn't that what you said?
I don't know Kenny, I do I believe Kenny has,
Like if you have between three and seven years of
(30:15):
service in the NBA, that's how stupid this is. Well,
then who's got the local black guy team? Who's coaching
that team?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I guess Shack. He's got.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Ernie exactly say boys, exactly right. Okay, Well, I'm looking
forward to not watching it at all. My eyes will
be glued to college basketball to match Matt's expertise, punch
by punch like Bruce Lee in a choreographed fight. Matt
mentions a guy from the Big ten I duck and
(30:46):
mentioned somebody from the Pac twelve. Because there's two teams.
We'll be right back. We got a fun fact. We've
got a quick hits. We have got Amsinger from the
MLB Network to praise the Dodgers as we love to
do here on the Dodger station. You're dead and a
live guy birth the other day, and that'll take us
(31:07):
to Clippers Jazz tonight

listen to us anywhere thanks to the iHeartRadio app in
the five to seventy years out of state go home.
You can listen to us in the skies. You can
listen to us underwater as long as you have a signal.
I guess it'd be hard underwater.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
If you didn't have a signal, it would be hard,
but you know you could figure it out if you
were a tech type.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, I guess. You know what if you got Wi
Fi on the open seas, you're not underwater, but you're
in the middle of the ocean. If there's Wi Fi
on that ship, you can listen to the Petros and
Money Show. That's how awesome. The iHeartRadio app is today's show.
Three hours started an hour ago. We are going until
five because we have Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That's right, Matt, we have Clippers basketball. We've got UCLA
basketball tomorrow, which will be another flex alertler. In the
last hour, Matt talked about how the Lakers and the
Clippers are in better shape than the Signs and the Warriors,
so we had that going for us here as the city.
(01:55):
We also talked about the Petros and Money Warriors Big Stormwatch.
There is a storm watch post on AM five seventies,
Instagram and x account that you can see the Petros
and Money show addressing the swift water of the La River.
And we just wanted to show, or I guess I
(02:17):
wanted to show and Matt did approve. In the first segment,
I believe or uh lukerote warm approval, but I will
I appreciate that. I wanted to show the local news
types like these these foot soldiers that are walking around
in Altadena right now, acting cool, talking about mud, that
(02:38):
they're not the only ones that can stand around in
the rain and scream and yell into the into the ether. Okay,
it's not just you guys. Question yeah, or you know,
don't be a clown, uh, Matt, we do have a
word of the day.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Did you know Johnny Manzel was dating jose Canseco's model daughter,
Josie Conseko.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
They were dating. They'd been together for about a year,
and sadly, according to TMZ, they have broken up. Now
is this a great American power couple? I don't know.
Johnny football one of the great most legendary college football
players of all time, Heisman winner and virtual god in
(03:35):
college station. Josie Conseko a lovely woman and a model,
kind of a long jump shooter, the kind that you like, Matt.
And apparently Josie's the one that dumped Johnny Manziel. But
they still have love for each other and it's not
(03:55):
that much of a bitter breakup. According to Josie's source,
Johnny Manziel was a great boyfriend. He just had some
work to do on himself, which sounds like his nose
what he does every year is still a little cochi.
She hung around with a bloke named Smokey. She loved
(04:16):
him though he was Cokie. He took her down to
Chinatown and he showed her how to kick the gong around.
I'm sad for Johnny Manziel. Matt, you know, I want
Johnny Manziel to stop drinking tall boys and golfing with
his dad and get his life together and put it
(04:38):
in the right direction. But it doesn't seem like it's
going to happen. And now his model girlfriend, Josie Kenseko
has said goodbye. Do you know his first girlfriend was
with h ended up having babies with Nick Cannon.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, a lot of girls have had babies with Nick
the Cannon.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
She's one of them. So Johnny Manziel, you know, he
knows how to pick him whatever. Whatever romantic circles he's
running in, he's running into the Great jose Canseco, half
of the Bash Brothers, and Nick the cannon with the
super sperm.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, so nobody's got more super super sperm than Nick
the Cannon.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I hope that both of we love young love here
on the Petrosen Money Show. As I look at another
shot of the La River where head of your k cow.
We love one young love here on the Petrosen Money Show,
and we hate to see when a young couple breaks
up and calls it quits. Man, it hurts all of
our hearts. Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Can't wait to see who she stumbles upon next right
for her Instagram feed. Vince Young, your number of the
day is one million. Okay, I don't know if you ice.
I'm guessing you may operate the same way I do.
Rarely do I adhere to the recalls that are sent
to me for products that I have purchased in the past.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Now, well, if you bought like a whole boar's head
turkey and they're like, hey, that's recall, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, I gotta throw that away, no doubt. Thankfully, I
have not had to do the food recall thing, but
I mean, like we had a space here that was
like you're gonna send it back and it'll be four
dollars shipping, but will refund that to him. Like whatever,
I'm just throw this stupid space heat.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
The only time I hear about a recall and it
was when I had the Cheves. You know, every once
in a while, I get a call from George Lee.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You say you gotta bring a car.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, you say, you know there's a recall on your Chevy.
It's gonna blow up. Bring it back.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, the seat belt's gonna force you out of the car.
There's an explosive device below your seat and it's going
to eject. Yeah, those things I can. Don't hit the
hazard lights yet, end of the sky exactly. This is
one of the better ones I've seen. Igloo, and I
love Igloo coolers. We talked about the YETI and them
being unwilling to allow the Utah Hockey Club to be
(06:57):
renamed the Utah yettis sure because they own the trademark,
which is BS. So I love Iglow coolers, Iglu coolers,
and it pains me to do this to you, Iglu,
but you're the one that issued the recall. I do
believe if I had purchased an Iglu cooler, and there
had been many many finger injuries, broken bones, including a
(07:20):
finger amputation because of a flaw in their designs. Who yes,
I might go ahead and heed that recall. A million
coolers recalled today after more than a dozen customers reported
severe fingertip injuries, one of them and amputation. It is
(07:42):
the ninety court flip and toe rolling cooler that is
being recalled. There is a circular pattern on the bottom
with an arrow pointing to the month of manufacturer. You
want to make sure that reads twenty twenty four of
January or later. Sold at Costco, Target, Dick Sporting Goods, Amazon, IGLUC,
coolers dot Com and other websites from January twenty nineteen
(08:03):
to January twenty twenty five between eighty and one hundred
and forty dollars. Yes, twelve plus reports of fingertip injuries.
There is a severe pinch that occurs between the drawer
on the top there, one of which resulted in the
drawer of steamed buns exactly. It says that they're opening.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
The drawer to get yourself like a sculpin cause you're white, right,
and then all of a sudden you've lost your finger
and you don't get to party with your igler you're
at the emergency. What happened, man?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Where's my beer? I lost my finger? Man?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
You what?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes, a finger to multiple broken bones, multiple finger injuries,
and one multiple lacerations and one amputation of a fingertip
gos So.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You think yet he pissed people off? Igloo said, hold
my beer.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And be careful when you hold it, so cut off
your finger.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Who sucks the hardest? Here? We got Yetti, who wouldn't
let the Utah hockey team be the yetis right, which
is so stupid because it's thousands of year old term
for a for a snow abottinable snowman.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, and nobody's gonna skip buying the YETI cooler brand
sweatshirt because they already bought it.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Shut up. Yeah, so YETI very egregious there. Then you
have Stanley, which we've talked about, which a bunch of
they don't even like. They tip over and then the
water spills out everywhere, and they should just be a
working man's lunch box. Yeah, well, now it's become an
accessory for white chicks. And then and now you have Igloo,
(09:39):
which is literally turning people into four fingered.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Weirdos, cutting off fingers you know.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, if you're walking around with four fingers in England,
they think you got caught for stealing something. That's what
they did in the village, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So I'm still going with Igloo, even though i might
lose a finger.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah. Well, it's certainly it certainly is the og indie
rock choice of the especially right now. Yeah, and that's
us to a t, no doubt. Speaking of that, this
is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Burt Bacharack and held David wrote today's song of the
day called rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head, performed
by bj Thomas for the film Butch Cassidy and the
Sun Dance Kid that won an Academy Award for Best
Original Song in nineteen sixty nine. Because it is a
crunchy groove Thursday, it's also award season and the Petros
(10:32):
and Money Show has achieved success with being award at
number twelve and the best sports talk radio category according
to Barretmedia dot Com. Meanwhile, the Clippers will be looking
for a little success of their own against the Utah
Jazz on a back to back at Delta Center in
Salt Lake City. And you know, our good friend Adam
Oslin will be down the hall working hard to get
(10:53):
you that Clippers countdown show at five o'clock.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
All right, running, stay dry.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Don McLain will join us next a weather related song
of the day, very appropriate as we are on stormwatch. Absolutely,
you know, Matt, what if we just jerked the wheel
and we became Coleman guys? Oh, not a bad idea, right,
Coleman didn't do anything. No, and they make the stoves
(11:24):
too and all that sort of stoven hole. We'll be
right back with Don McClain.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Working our way toward five o'clock for Clipper pregame, headed
into Clippers Jazz. Hey reminder, the PGA Tours in fact
back right now in Southern California should have been LA
Open Week at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Sadly the
Fires moved the event down to Tory Pines, but it
is still happening. Scottie Scheffler, Rory mcelroyd, Jordan's Speeth, Colin Morrikawa,
(12:00):
all the big names are down there for the signature events.
So get down where the legends are made. Today it started,
It runs all the way through Sunday and you can
get your tickets at Genesis Invitational dot.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Com joining us right now live from the La River
is the leading scoring the history of the Pac twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He is.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Statue at Seami Valley and Lemon Park is rain drenched.
Right now. You see him on the Big Ten Network
at Best One Fan Duel Sports with those Clippers who
had a pretty good first half. The next ass he
kisses will be the first. He's joining us in your
(12:43):
Southern California at Toyota Dealer Celebrity hot Line. It is
Don McClain. Ladies and gentlemen, Hello, Don, how are you?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I apologize in advance. Guys, I'm stuck in the car
and I didn't realize doing this hit you would be
able to probably hear the rain coming down.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
That's okay, you know it is.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It is raining like a cow pissing on a flat
rock out here right now.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Ayah, cow bit.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Fabulous? Don fabulous? Uh uh now, Dona, I guess first
things first, we got to talk about the Lakers. I
don't know if it's a big deal that they lost
to the Jazz last night. I know the Clippers were
playing at the same time. Going into the All Star Break,
they'd won ten of eleven or something, So is it
a big deal that that they lose that game going
(13:34):
into the All Star Break, or is it a bigger
deal that they have to acclimate Luca to this team
and get this guy in shape.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Way, bigger deal acclimating Luca. They're gonna they're gonna lose
some games here coming out of the break too. Just
figuring out rotations and minutes and staggering minutes and doing
all the things that you need to do when you
add a caliber the player of Luca. But that doesn't
mean it's not gonna work. It's just it's gonna take
some time. It's been proven year after year whenever these
(14:01):
superstars get together that it's not an immediate thing. So
not surprised they lost last night, the last game before
the breaks, always the hardest regular season game of the year.
And also just trying to figure out, you know, what
Luke is going to be and how he's going to
fit in there.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What about the rest of the I know I've asked
you before, Don, but just kind of now that the
trade deadline has passed, teams are what they are. There's
going to be a couple of buyout guys. We'll get
into what the Clippers did with the buyout here in
a second. But it's kind of how you think they
stack up and what percentage of chance you think they
have of just kind of let's just say making a
conference finals run, because man, that ten and eleven has
(14:40):
looked pretty darn good.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, you're talking about the Lakers, Matt.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, the Lakers still done well.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I thought you meant maybe the whole Western Conference. No, look,
it's hard to say. It really is because of Lebron
and where he's at as a player. How motivated is.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Luca going to be?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I have a feeling he's going to be motivated. How
did the other pieces fit with that? Defensively? Are they
gonna be good enough? Because that's the thing when adding
Luca and generational offensive player but not a good defensive player.
So what does that mean when you get to the playoffs.
I don't know. As much as I think I know
about this game, I'm not sure in two months or
(15:19):
in April, when the regular season's finished, where the Lakers
are gonna be. I really don't. They could be unbelievably
good and we're talking about them maybe winning the whole thing,
or they could be well, it just didn't work out
this year.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, and you know what, just go to where you
were gonna go, and that is the West as a whole.
Because you know, while we're all and we should be
freaking out over the Oklahoma City Thunder, they look like
a buzz saw right now and they weren't even healthy
prior to the last week. But in the meantime, Nikola
jokicch and the Nuggets have won eight straight and they're
starting to hit their stride. Is it top heavy or
(15:54):
do you think it's pretty even? You know, if you can,
just like you said, punch your ticket in a tournament
and see how this thing plays out.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
I think it's that, man. I think I look, Oklahoma
City is really really good, and aln Holdgrin's back and
Hartenstein's back like they're even better. So they're the favorite,
but I don't think they're like an overwhelming favorite where
all of us are saying, well, you know, it's gonna
be hard for anyone to beat them in a seven
game series. I think they're the favorite, but it's not
by a lot. And I think Denver, you know, will
(16:25):
get it together in the playoffs. They got the best
player in the game, you know, the one the one
interesting team for me is Houston that's up there and
Memphis for that matter, Like both those teams are surprises
that they are where they are, so will they be
able to carry that into the playoffs? And they're inexperienced,
Houston more inexperienced than Memphis. But it's going to be interesting.
(16:47):
I think that the Clippers have a chance as well.
I think the Lakers. There's a lot of teams that
I wouldn't be surprised if they got to the conference finals.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
The one and only Don McClain dropping knowledge as always
on the Pettersen Money Show regarding basketball and live calling
in the airstrike from Saigon in his car right now,
Don the Clippers finish up tonight taken on the Jazz.
Like you said, the hardest game of the year is
the game before the break. But the Clippers have to
(17:20):
be pretty surprised or pleasantly surprised with how the first
half went, or maybe that's what they expected.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
No, I think I think it's above expectations. If you
go back to what happened in the offseason and PG Leavin,
I think everybody thought they would go back to being,
you know, at best, a playing team. There's a lot
of people that didn't even pick them in the playing
before the season started. So they've definitely exceeded expectations. And
you just wonder, with what they've added, does it strengthen
(17:47):
them enough that they can make a run in the playoffs.
But that's kind of what I just said. I wouldn't
be surprised if they did, if they got hot in
April and in one of playoff series or two and
found themselves in the conference finals.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What do you make of the Ben Simmons thing? Don
I mean, we know you get drafted number one overall,
there's always going to be teams that want to see
if they could kind of figure it out. But sort
of what's happened with Ben thus far and what might
the Clippers be able to figure out here?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Well, I think they're going to use him for what
he is. I don't think this is like a reclamation project.
At least from the outside looking in. It doesn't seem
like that that they're saying, oh, we can turn Ben
Simmons career around. I think it's no. We added a
big defender, playmaker, good passer, but he can't shoot, So
what's his role. I have a feeling his role isn't
(18:35):
going to be big. I think once you get to
the playoffs, you can use him for defensive purposes and
spelling hard in if you get in foul trouble. I
just I don't think he's going to be playing heavy
minutes on this Clipper team. But a good addition, you know,
especially when you talk about matchups in the playoffs, playing
different people. So I think a good signing by the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
What are you most excited about, don for NBA All
Star Weekend? I know you've bought your pileise and your
track tap and your potato salad and you're ready to
to really just you know, turn on the TV and
just be engrossed. What is I mean? Come on?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
First of all, ain't nobody eating potato salad over here?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Mac salad, coleslaw, No nothing.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Mac and cheese?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Okay, yeah, I don't really. I mean, if I'm home,
if I'm not doing college stuff, I will turn it
on because my boys will probably have it on and
I'll watch it. But I can't say that I'm really
looking forward to any of it, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You know, and everybody else I guess, well, you know
you got the four team I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Kevin Hart's gonna be the MC this year.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Oh, that's exciting. They got a They got four teams
this year, Donna, I would you care to handicap them
for us? You got the young guys, and then I
think you got the kind of young guys, and then
you got the old guys, and then you got the foreigners.
I think, or if I think, are the four teams
your your thoughts on which team you would want to
(20:11):
put your money on?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
There? Not the old guys, that's for sure. That's why
we have four teams in the All Star Game now
because of the old guys and not wanting to risk
anything during the All Star Game. You know what, I
don't know what they should do. You know, they've added
this other stuff along the way over the years. You guys,
tell me, is the Pro Bowl now?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Is that more exciting for people? They watch it more
once they got rid of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
They're all terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Maybe, I don't know, has some life.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I don't know. I don't know what the solution is.
Because I felt like the NFL was going down the
right road with just elimiting the game and making it
fun and having skills competitions. But if you guys are
saying that's not working, I'm not sure what you do
at this point. You see, I like too much like
them with money.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
No, the what they should do is do one, two, three,
can coon and give everybody the freaking week off. Uh
don UCLA is in Indiana. That's the first time they've
ever played at Assembly Hall. How much of a setback
was the loss to Illinois and and and you think
they'll be able to step up and beat Indiana tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I think they can. You know, Mike Woodson's gone after
this year. But it's interesting they throws up and beat
Michigan or somebody the other night.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Mich.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Michigan.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You're right, Michigan. You're right, Michigan.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah. And so you wonder where their heads are at.
But typically UCLA coming off a loss is pretty good.
They're fine. They're right where they should be.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
The one thing that they should keep playing for, though,
is the double buy in the Big Ten tournament. If
you finish in the top four seeds, you get a
double buy and you only have to win I think
three games to win the tournament to get the automatic bid.
Not that they need the automatic bid, But I think
that should be a goal of theirs to play less
in the Big ten turn tournament so you're more ready
for the NCAA tournament. But they're fine, They're they're They're
(22:04):
where they should be probably, and if they finished strong,
they get one of those top four seeds, they'll be
they'll be set up to make a run in the
Big ten tournament.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Thoughts on uh, I'm doing Auburn Alabama on Saturday, don
and uh? As I get the SEC notes, I noticed
they're including every team and four teams are going to
get a triple buy in the SEC basketball tournament. Your
thoughts on a triple by versus the Big ten slicing
out two teams and going with a double buy.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I don't, Well, it's it's interesting. I don't think anybody
deserves a triple by. I don't care how good your
season's been. But I also don't like the Big ten's
cutting out three teams either. Yeah, you know that, that's
that's the bad look for coaches. Like that can get
coaches fired. If you don't make the Big if you
don't forget the NCAA tournament, you can't even make the
Big ten tournament. It's just a bad look and I
(22:56):
hate it for the coaches. So I don't know what
this will says. Like the WCC, how about this. Everybody
makes it in the WCC. So if you're the last
or if you're ten or eleven, there's eleven teams. If
you're the tenor eleven seed. To win the WCC tournament,
you have to win six games sheets.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
It's like winning the tournament.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
They go to war the w CC. Brother, Well, we
appreciate you. Don get home safe, have a great weekend,
enjoy those all star festivities, know how much you're looking
forward to them. And uh, and be safe out on
the roads. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Don yep, all right, guys, doctor there he.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Goes Don McClain with the rain, Don McClain in the rain,
twas just a garden in the rain, close to a
little leafy lane that we call the four oh five freeway.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Coliseums right there, Colisseum, right out the four oh five,
right there.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Just ask Colin Cowherd. He's moving to Chicago, which is
right off of Lake Erie. Talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Exactly right.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Late, Titty Kaka, that's a good one, t k Tim Kate. Okay, Uh, Matt.
We're going to talk a little All Star. There was
a disappointing All Star thing. We'll discuss it. I think
everybody wants to know about the NBA All Star Game.
We'll talk about that. We still have our baseballing and
(24:23):
our quick hits and our fun fact in our day. Amsinger,
my god, Amzinger is going to bring this stinger, So
stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Petro some money, big thank you to Don McClain. Has
tonight the last night prior to the All Star break,
few games on the slate for the NBA. One of
them will be Clippers Jazz out there in Utah and
we will go to that at five pm a little
over an hour from now. But of course, if you
missed a conversation with Don, feel free to relive it
through the Petros and money Pot podcast. Make sure you
(25:01):
subscribe to that.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
All right, Matt, we have NBA All Star Weekend approaching,
and I mean it's not it's not the attraction that
it was when we were young. It's not well, the
NBA has really struggled to keep it relevant. And the
NBA All Star Weekend three point contest rematch that we
talk so much about with Caitlin Clark between the yeah,
(25:29):
and I guess I don't know why they would make
this announcement on Thursday. The only thing like the All
Star weekend is this, This is All Star Weekend. Yeah,
they're cleaning out tomorrow. Push brooms are pushing out the
poop and needles away from the street in front of
the Warriors Arena. Yeah, the Chase Center as we speak. Well,
(25:50):
they're chasing away some freaking meth heads as we speak.
And I could only imagine that they made this announcement
on Thursday because they thought that they could beg Caitlin
Clark to do it. They'd probably been blowing her agent
up or whoever, her weird boyfriend McCaffrey and offering more
(26:11):
and more money. But I love the fact that Caitlin
Clark doesn't give an app But it is not going
to save them here, probably because with the NBA mismanaged
the WNBA so poorly, and everybody treated her like crapping
her rookie year, even though she saved the league.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But I think it might be the opposite of that,
and I wish she would get over it. She continues
to try to ingratiate herself with her fellow WNBA players. Yeah,
and she's like, no, I'm not going to do it
for the NBA. I want to do it for the WNBA.
The first step or three point shoot it because they
didn't invite her the last time.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Doesn't the NBA run the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Essentially, they certainly want to subsidize it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah. One does not exist without the other. Yeah, so
what It was just a Steph Curry and New York
liberties Sabrina I and Escu that fell through. According to
report from Joe Varden and Anthony Slater of The Athletic,
despite the popularity of last season's addition to All Stars
(27:08):
Saturday Night, the dynamic Shooting duo will not run the
contest back all this gobblygook means we could not get
Caitlin Clark to do it. Curry and I and Escu
were reportedly not interested in the rematch. Instead, they wanted
to expand the contest to include Indiana feverstar Kaitlin Clark
and potentially Dallax Maverick's wing and Curry's former teammate our
(27:29):
friend Klay Thompson. Clark said no and they said please,
and she said no, and they said we won't smack
you upside the head like all those chicks in the WNBA.
And she still said no. She wants her first three
point contest to be at WNBA All Star Weekend, which
is held in Indianapolis later this summer. I don't understand.
(27:52):
I feel like they're the same company.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But go ahead, Tim, Why wouldn't they ask Angel Reeston
she's widely popped.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Well, she can do the thing where she shoots and
then gets her own rebound and shoots.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, she doesn't shoot threes.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, she has her own cereal though, but she's like
the best player in the WNBA. Not Somebody had her
cereal at the supermarket and they threw it at the
basket and it missed, so they picked it up, and
they threw it up the basket and missed again, and
then they picked it up and it took three or
four tries, but eventually they got it in there. The
(28:26):
box was a little beat up, a little worse for
wear and tear. But good luck to everybody involved in
the All Star weekend. I doubt that anything will happen
at All Star Weekend that will move the needle for
the NBA. But the NBA sitting a lot prettier than
they were a couple of weeks ago because of the
Luka Doncicic trade to the Lakers. It feels like that
(28:50):
gave the NBA a shot in the arm that it needed.
How long it will last, who's to say, especially with
the Sanders and Travis Hunter headed to the combine Matt
Smith later this month.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yes, this is the first year of the weird, the well,
the new let's try to save the All Star Game
approach where you've got like six teams Kenny versus Chuck
versus Shack versus Candace, the Rising Stars versus ten All
Star like it's a real S show this year. And
(29:23):
I don't know whether or not people will teat will
will tune in on Sunday, But if they do, thinking
they're going to find like a one hundred and seventy
to one hundred and sixty five East versus West showdown, No,
you're gonna see like, Hey, here's Kenny Smith's team against
Chuck Barkley's team of international stars, and here's Shacks old
guys versus Candace's Year one or Year two players, and
(29:47):
then the winners play like it is a real S show.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
God, you laid it out pretty well. Man. Now I
understand you know. I was having a hard time understanding.
But now that you laid out Candace has the first
year players, Bark has the euro trash, and Kenny's got
the local black guys, I feel like that's I did
not I don't believe that was Isn't that what you said?
I don't know Kenny, I do I believe Kenny has,
Like if you have between three and seven years of
(30:15):
service in the NBA, that's how stupid this is. Well,
then who's got the local black guy team? Who's coaching
that team?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I guess Shack. He's got.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Ernie exactly say boys, exactly right. Okay, Well, I'm looking
forward to not watching it at all. My eyes will
be glued to college basketball to match Matt's expertise, punch
by punch like Bruce Lee in a choreographed fight. Matt
mentions a guy from the Big ten I duck and
(30:46):
mentioned somebody from the Pac twelve. Because there's two teams.
We'll be right back. We got a fun fact. We've
got a quick hits. We have got Amsinger from the
MLB Network to praise the Dodgers as we love to
do here on the Dodger station. You're dead and a
live guy birth the other day, and that'll take us
(31:07):
to Clippers Jazz tonight
