Speaker 3 (02:57):
Oh, but mostly the Pinos. Next Monday, we're live at
BJ's Restaurant in brew House in Sorietoast, also known as
the Toasts.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
The people like us.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I believe Matt said that many months ago, and the toast, Hey, kids,
it's stuck in my head. It's unfortunate. Hey, we're getting
up to the toast today. Right to the toast, dude,
right out the signature of the toast. What any third
street instead the Toast. We'll have prizes on side, including
Bjy's get card, Dodger tickets, tickets to beach life. You
(03:37):
can't wait to see you there.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's gonna be an awesome time. I might dare to say, Matt,
you're gonna pop off from four to seven. All right,
it is time now for the top story of the day,
top story of it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So we had a pair of games over the weekend
in the Lakers and the Clippers, and this is someone
who watched both of them, one here late night as
I'm two hours ahead of the Los Angeles time zone
in Houston, and another back home on Saturday night. I
came to this conclusion. It's something we've discussed before, but
I don't think we've had an opportunity to see these
(04:20):
two teams tangle in as many days, two games, two days.
What a waste. For the second time in the last
fifteen years, the Clippers had been served popularity on a
platter right there in front of them to try and
(04:41):
snatch up some kids, the next generation of basketball fans.
I see it with what the Chargers are trying to
do with their flag football leagues all over the Southland.
They know NFL allegiances are very hard to break. And
while it may not make a lot of sense for
someone who was born and but their dad or their
(05:02):
mom was a Packer or a Steeler or a Giant
or a Cowboy fan, and despite being a native Los ANGELESO,
they continue to support those teams instead of taking their
kids to a game or two of the Rams or
the Chargers and having the benefit of having that team
right here. But basketball, now, basketball is much more transactional,
(05:26):
but it's much more individual.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, they've faced everybody out. The NBA has priced everybody
out as far as actually going to the stadium, So
it's very easy. It's very easy to switch allegiances when
you're never there.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, now there are still old bastards like us who
do look at the name on the front of the
jersey and appreciate it, stay loyal to it. But over
the last thirty.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Years, that's how I think of it. I like to
speak slowly, like I'm a cowboy going through the Love
this valley. I'm loyal to it. Love the trees and
the wind.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Feel the Chris Brace, smell the dirt.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Death. This valley was untouched.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
This was spearheaded. In my opinion, I believe that's Imo
and text Lingo by Alan Iverson. Not people were Jordan fans,
just as they were Larry Bird or Magic Johnson fans.
But Iverson was the one who started the run of
kind of rod or Die, Wherever you go, I go
sort of feelings, and then kind of manifested itself. Expanded
(06:33):
in the mid two thousands with the arrival of Carmelo
and Lebron, but it really exploded with Kevin Durant. If
I were to pick a face of the I like
this guy. I don't care where he plays, it's a
pretty easy one. Because Kevin Durant was in freaking Oklahoma City,
for God's sake, Say now, he was in Seattle for
a second, but a tiny ass market forty second in
(06:57):
the United States. And by the way, they have no
business happening in NB A franchise ahead of the likes
of Seattle Market fifteen in my God, Vegas, Kansas City, Nashville,
all ahead of it debt. But to have Kevin Durant
become this megastar with his own best selling shoe, the
top selling jersey. Let it be known that no franchise
was safe from a migrating fan base if you didn't
(07:19):
have a superstar and or weren't winning. It's part of
the reasonable. Even though I didn't always agree with it.
From a basketball performance angle, I understood the Lakers superstar position.
Just keep someone that sells jersey, that becomes a kid's
favorite player on the roster, and you'll always have dads
and moms and sons and daughters that want to visit
(07:41):
Staples Center, Crypto the Crypto dot com arena to say
they were there to see right, Magic or Kobe or
Lebron played basketball in person. But you had some lean
years the mid nineties their biggest star was Nick van
Exel or Eddie Jones. Love those teams, but the form
(08:01):
wasn't sold out, and that was before the Iverson craziness
took hold and obviously the kd deal, But the Lakers
weathered it and then they arrived in the late nineties
with Shaq and Kobe, and then you know, there were
a few lean years after Shaq was traded the Kobe
Bryant trade demands, but they were able to recover with
the trade for Pow in just two and a half
(08:22):
short seasons. They win two titles in twenty nine ten,
but after that he had a six to seven year
run where the Clippers had an opening. Kobe entered the
twilight of his career was a bit of a polarizing personality.
The Lakers weren't a title threat. The Clips catch a
break by winning the draft lottery and in the number
(08:45):
one overall slot, they get a superstar Blake Griffin, a
style of basketball kids would love. They get a bona
fide MVP candidate and his prime in Chris Paul. And
they were in a position to challenge for an NBA
title every single year for a half decade, and they
did nothing with it. They stepped on their d's repeatedly.
(09:09):
They never won sixty.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You've got a lot of highlights played in the Twilight
Oh yeah, of Sports Center's popularity. But beyond those great highlights,
I believe you're correct. Hey, we were there when Blake
Griffin got traded at Sherwood Man.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Anyone can get traded, tim They only won the division once,
They only made it out of the first round the
first round twice, and it was impossible to gain any
momentum without the eyes of the nation upon them in
a conference final at least, never mind the NBA Finals.
And it's not like they were getting housed by some
buzzsaw in Their timing was just bad. No, they're booted
(09:45):
by the Grizzlies, who weren't superstar driven. They peed away
a two to nothing lead against the Blazers because of injury,
a three to one lead they had on the Rockets.
There's just no reason to hit your wagons to that
train of sadness. It was apparent that there was nothing
disappointment coming.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It was Gavin Newsom's train to nowhere. Yeah, you hit
your wagon and every year it led you absolutely to
the same place in the middle of nowhere, and every
year you're like, no, this year, this train's gonna take
it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Fabulous, gonna take me to a beautiful.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Stat every year, it just to take you straight to
the death valley.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Zizik's road with a bindle and no water. And then
before you knew it, the window was closed. The Lakers
experiment of going young, trying to make superstars out of
top five picks D'Angelo, Russell, brandon ingram Lonzo Ball failed
miserably just because they picked the wrong guys. And instead
of putting their heads down and being patient, they turned
things over to Lebron And in that immediate moment, Laker
(10:47):
fans were excited and all about it and this nightmare.
We got the best player in the league. Let's go
win some games. They did that in their second year.
Unfortunately for them it was in the bubble, so they
didn't get the full reward of that. But then it
started unraveling again. And again here's your opening ballmer. You
got Kawhi, you got Paul George, local guy, you got
(11:08):
UCLA's Norman Pole. You have great homegrown young players like
Zoubs and Coffee and Terrence Man, gritty guys that you
can appreciate. So you got Artja Hives James Harden to
go with Palm Dale's Paul George at All lined up
superstar and Kawhi Leonard to pull the people in, and
what happens They step on their day again. Guys can't
(11:29):
stay healthy, mental freaking breakdown in the bubble. They got
all super sad, guys lost their minds. It was an
abject failure. And yet again this year you're looking at
the Lakers and saying, man, it's getting ugly. This team
is bad. They're throwing a hail Mary at head coach,
getting a first time guy who's a freaking TV and
(11:51):
podcast star to be the not very likable, a condescending
jerk when he's sitting at the podium, and the Clippers
have group.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
They have the most inner native arena of all time built.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Right, Yeah, everyone's tired of Lebron having control of the Lakers.
Nobody cared about ad a zero in terms of moving
the needle as a superstar despite being paid like a
top five player of the league. And you just said it.
You know, the Clippers got a likable head coach, Gretaty,
bunch of play hard superstars, and a freaking two billion
(12:22):
dollar brand, freaking news state of the yard arena that
you'd like to think everyone would want to at least
check out just to see what the line.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I want to check it out, but I'm saving up
for parking exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Instead, they stick you with seventy two to one hundred
dollars parking, and that becomes a headline and a talking point.
If you want to go see a basketball game, not
only are the tickets going to cost you one hundred
bucks to sit in the nosebleeds, but it's gonna cost
you another seventy to one hundred dollars to park your car.
Kawhi Leonard still hurt. They didn't care. They resigned him.
(12:59):
People weren't going to into it. The storyline became empty seats.
Despite all the glowing reviews, I mean, how many people
did we hear from that said, O, yeah, I want
to it to it. It's incredible. You got to see
this place. But no, what he went. Team starts winning,
they're a little bit likable, they're pushing for a top
four seed, and then the hammer dropped. Watching Luca last night,
(13:19):
my god just freaking moved to Seattle. I mean, holy hell,
he is now feeling it. A superstar of superstars, a
megastar and in the analogy we mentioned when he arrived
the puppy added to the house that has the old
dog running around like he was five years younger instead
of at the end of the line. I got no
(13:41):
idea what Lebron is on these days, but man, he
ain't going quietly into retirement anymore. He, since the trade
of Luca, has decided to play at a considerably higher
level than he had been. Dancicic just turned twenty six
a couple days ago, throwing Magic Johnson like full court
he to the old man and stride for dunks, no look,
(14:02):
whip passes to teammates for wide open threes, taking one
of the best defenders in the game, and Kawhi Leonard
making him look foolish on dribble drives that are ending
in and ones. He's got the crowd eating out of
his hand when he's hitting step back threes and counting
the points one, poh three, everybody chanting along with him.
(14:23):
He's not just a basketball player. He's a beer drinking,
food eating little bit, pudgy showman, a freaking showman.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You left out the smoking oh and a smoking vapin
and hookah.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Vapian and hookah done. It's just not funny. Yeah, that's
super funny column. And now the Lakers are set for
the next ten years. To hell with the Oh, he's
gonna have to want to stay. He may not want
to be here, crowd. You see those Hollywood stars bowing
down to him and for all the Kicker window is closed, Matt.
(15:01):
It is not just closed, it has closed. It is cocked.
There is a metal screw that has been driven into
the encasement and now they've just yeah, they put plywood
over it as well, and they've stuck out over the
top of it.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well, I'm glad we have him here on the station
and we get pre.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, I mean everything is now. It's think about how
much it has shifted in freaking three weeks dramatically. Genie
has no control of the team. It's all clutch sports.
I hate Lebron James, f U Browny too, I love Luca.
How do I get tickets? Billy Mack and Stu. Stu's
(15:39):
not fighting with Billy anymore. He's all happy again.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Lebron James is not a front and center anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
No, He's like and that's what's funny, right, That's kind
of what led to his little, you know, peeing and
moaning at the All Star Game. That's what the speculation.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Was very interesting what Sonny Vaccaro sort of alluded to
just with his voice, like whatever happened there the trade? Yeah,
I think we all know what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well, hey, what happened came just in time for the
NBA Netflix partnership in Genie's show Running Point starring Kate
Hudson to show up at freaking number one. The timing
is incredible.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I wonder why people taking I wonder why people say
that this stuff is scripted.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Let me think about it.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You know, I never that show ever get that impression
at all.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Netflix. The NBA Netflix is looking for play by play properties,
and they have got a massive, massive, freaking purse from
which they can pull tens to hundreds of billions of
dollars from. And Running Point shows up when Clutch Sports
is putting Bronnie in the game for ten minutes and
(16:51):
he looks like a child that's been allowed on a
court as part of some promotion where his ticket got
pulled at halftime and he gets to play five minutes versus, oh,
it's not Lebron's team anymore. They didn't let him know
they were trading for Luca. He was all pissed off,
and Genie and and Rob Polinka pulled the master stroke
and now bang. Netflix's running point the Genie bus story,
(17:15):
how to run a team and take it away from
your a hole. Brothers starring Kate Hutson is number one.
My god, what did I say? Put plywood over that? Yeah,
just in case it in case it in freaking I
don't know, just you know, raise it, Clippers. The window
isn't shut, it's gone. The whole the whole building's has
(17:37):
been blown to nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Tomorrow Clippers at Suns tip off at seven right here
on anti Scipologies.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
My apologies. Stupid me for thinking one of the richest
men in the world could pour tens of billions of
dollars into a team to make an NBA franchise relevant
in town with the state of the art arena.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I know, Gillian and their sports public really doesn't pick
the team or create that kind of stuff, but they've
done us no favors, certainly have it. That's a direct
text to zoobots and that's about it. So whatever your
windows closed, enjoy it's closed. Hitting the glass over and
(18:18):
over like a confused bird. We'll be right back with
Bill Plaski. He'll talk about this and among other things
on the Petrol somebody should go on a m FI seventy
l A Sports.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Petro San and mondy AM five to seventy LA Sports.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Little play
by play Tonight you see LA at Northwestern trying to
shake off that loss to Purdue from Friday. Get back
on the winning side of things. Is they only have
a couple more games until the Big Ten tournament shows
up a week from Wednesday. You'll get tip off coming
(18:55):
up at six pm, so we will get out of
your way at about five thirty ten.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Night, All right, joining us right now, the one and
only hero of the city. His sharp pen, eloquent tongue,
overall fabulous demeanor. One of the greatest scribes ever, a
best selling author, and of course the number one sports
(19:20):
columnist on earth, perhaps the most decorated we've ever had.
He writes through the LA Times. See him on Around
the Horn as well on ESPN, and is the great
Bill Plashki on your Southern California Toyota Neators celebrity hotline.
Always great to catch up with Bill. A joyful time
in town. The Lakers are hot, highly anticipated Dodger season coming.
(19:46):
Everybody's happy. Hello, Bill, how are you?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
The most important question is did you did you not
agree with me on Mick Cronin?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Oh, I don't agree with you at all anything. McK
cronan says. It's fine. He could go into the stands
and start choking students and I would support him, Bill,
And if you attacked him, I'd come over to your
house and challenge you physically.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I believe Nick Cronin puts the word angel in Los Angeles. Yeah,
that's my position.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
That's right, because he does good interviews.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Come on, well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
He doesn't do good interviews.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Do in the immortal words of Ralph Lawler, Bill, how
do you know that?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
To answer your question, Bill, I understand that he could
be polarizing because he gets all riled up. But I
think everybody on his team probably expects him to be
that way, and they knew he was going to be
that way when he signed like that. If it upsets
some of the bruin uh blue bloods in the stands,
the F bombs can be hurt so loudly. Uh, then Yeah,
(20:53):
maybe he Maybe he will end up in uh in
Indiana and Bloomington or something like that if it's too
much for the people here, because if he's coaching it
Indiana or a place like that, the crowd is so
loud you can't hear him cussing out the player.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
That's a great point, But I think miss gotta win.
He got to win big in order to keep the
fans on him. Sack, because I think the fans are tired
of him.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Are you tired of them?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know he's He's a great guy. He's a great interview.
I love talking to him. He just drives me crazy
when he passes away into his players and doesn't take
it on him one himself drives me nuts. But enough
about me, Cron, How about the USC women? How about
Juju Watson?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Bill, you're gonna lead with that?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Wait? Bill, come on, Bill, you can't just say that
and then walk away from the Bruins. We got him
here on the station. They're playing Northwestern. They got a
shot to win the Big Ten tournament. Is in this
part kind of part of the shift of not being
able to get after kids anymore. I mean, these kids
are making eight hundred grand, four hundred grand, six hundred grand.
(21:54):
Gotta be able to challenge him. Look at what Rick
Patino's done at Saint John's. Everybody was all over him
last year for his behavior on the sidelines, and oh,
this doesn't work anymore, even though it's Saint John's and
it's New York City and it's supposed to be like
And now look at them, They're going to end the
drought since twenty nineteen. They're the number six team in
the nation because it's finally somebody holding these kids accountable.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Man, I think he goes with Campbell, But does he
do it publicly? After every laws make it so public
in his vitriol against his players. And I realize, you're
all pros, we're all making good money. But even in
JJ raris your crash? Is payers like that? I mean,
I just think I think he goes a whole over
the line in the sidelines. How about how many tests
(22:38):
does he get? How many technical fouls does he get
that hurts the team?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, a couple here.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
And I don't think you have some money? Did he
have a chance to win a Big ten tournament?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, Yeah, I think so. I mean, you got Michigan.
That's that's shown some cracks miss they already beat Michigan State.
Produced got no big men like there. You know you
get on a run, and sure, why not.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
I'm a big tournament. I'll come out here and support
me corone hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
All right here you heard of it, just like Kieran
Culkin's wife's gotta have four kids now, the great pill
Plaski is our guest, So Laine, last night I didn't
watch it. That's all right, Bill wil was born. You
wrote about the women's basketball and I'm even gonna ask
you about it. You mentioned Juju Watkins. You've always been
(23:30):
a fan of women's basketball. You've loved Corey Close for
years and sung her praises on our air. But how
big of a story legitimately, Bill, do you think that
USC women and Juju can be if they make a run,
which they probably inevitably will, uh.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Deep into the tournament. She's the new Kaitlin Clark and
look at Kitland Tarket last year. To the reading, it'll
be huge. USC is the best team in the country,
and there I do believe are we winn's the championship
and Juju is the best player in the country. I
think I think it's all gonna be. It's gonna be
the headlines, it'll be the park page, It'll be huge
in a couple of weeks. She's just she plays. She's
(24:10):
like a mixture of Kobe and MJ and Shaq and Lebron.
I mean, she's like, she's like a little bit of everything.
She's so talented. She pulls up the screen. She she
drives the ratings, and she's so cool. I mean, she's
so cool. I don't know. I'm just a huge Juju fan,
huge USC basketball women's basketball fans, not a big UCLA
(24:33):
basketball fan, women's basketball fan too. Right now, Corey host
can't have a good game against USC.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
The Big Ten basketball tournaments are back to back weeks
and they're both in Indianapolis. Uh so are you going
to attend both? Just the women? Just the men?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
No one, no, no, Ben boltays all are traveling. Stop
the biggest stories the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Luca and the Lakers Luca is taking the spotlight from Lebron.
Uh it's become there's a major shift we were just
talking about in the last segment. Uh, A gigantic story.
How far do you think it can go and is
this us for the next decade talking about how great
Luka Doncic is and the Lakers pee cocking this guy around.
(25:17):
He's a great player.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I'm stunned. I can't still can't believe him in the
Laker uniform. Looke looks like it's some kind of uh
A mass parade or something. I can't believe he's actually
run proplem gold. They are so much better than I
thought they'd be. They are stunning, They are NBA Finals good.
He's changed everything. He's re energized Lebron. He's re energized.
They are. He's got the spacing down, typically played great defense.
(25:44):
He's done. He's done wonders just by showing up. I'm
stunning you guys. Are you as surprised as I am?
I'm stunning good.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, I'll tell you Bill. I think the the thing
that that jumps out at me more than than anything
is I feel like in these nine games that he's
been here, that Laker fans and and this could just
be being a prisoner of the moment, but that Laker
fans are more excited about this than they were the
first nine games of Lebron James as crazy as that sounds,
(26:13):
that's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Right your money, you're absolutely right on the fans love
this guy. He love this guy in the way he's
already grew with that Lebron he owns he owns the
team now. But then and Lebron his credit. It's not complained.
It's not at least not saying anybody I know about
losing power. But he's lost all his power. This is
(26:36):
Lucas team, and they play with Lucas energy, they play
with Lucas his fun. He laughs, he jokes, he gestures,
he's a real person. I mean, he's just he's anti
Lebron and he's changed every He's changed everything over there.
I mean, you watch it, you think, well, this team's
really really good. And I give JJ Redder credit because
(26:59):
I thought he couldn't coach. It's in a massiful job.
Get these guys. He's lower in order, getting the play defense,
getting in the play harder every night. It's it's really
as good. It's a complete stunning turn around of events.
Studying turn of events for me.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah, I tell you, And you're around him. You go
to the post games, you go to the games, you
hear the way he interacts with his teammates, Like, like
Petro said, we were just talking about this. I don't
know if he appreciates it, just because of the alpha
male that he is and and sort of how he's wired.
But I hope he realizes how Luca got him off
(27:35):
the hook and how toxic things were with the Lakers
prior to Luca's arrival, because remember, all we were doing
was bitching about Bronnie and what a mess. How is
this guy taken over this franchise? And why is Bronnie
James on the Lakers? And why are they the sixth seed?
And now it's this is the number one must watch
team in all of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
It's a great point. One of the point you make
is nobody's talking about Bronni anymore. Nobody's talking about Bronnie.
That's what it's all you need to know about. Thought
about the Lakers. They've gone from being a joke to
a serious contender. And Lebron better be thankful because this
guy could see this guy could give Lebron uh well,
one or two more titles, and so you know, and
Lebron was done. He was done before the trade. He
(28:19):
was done. He was done here. I wrote to Day
to Day for trade ad is you trade Lebron and
Broncho your ask out? I'm surprised he didn't ask out
so when when the trade was made? But to see
what's happened to his career now into his career arc,
into the Lakers' career arc, it's just startling it just
so it feels so different over there. You're right, it
(28:39):
feels like there's hope, there's light, there's fun, and Lebron
had had stolen all that way.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
This guy gave back, always bringing hope and life and
fun to every conversation. Is Bill Plaski, He's like a
rainbow entering the rooms. Are you going to tope? Bill?
You had so much fun in China.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I'm not going all that way for two damn games.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
No way? But you are excited. This is a pretty
exciting UH Dodger season as far as anticipation goes, Is
it not?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
They're so good, they're gonna be so good, They're they're
setting themselves off here ripped by me every every week
when you lose and they lose, I'm ripping him because
that's the only story out there. Literally win one hundred
and twenty games. You're unbelievable. They had two rotations, they
have an all start there, I mean, is there you
all see any way they don't win the world Yeah,
(29:36):
right right now? You see any way they don't win
the World Series. Any chance they don't win the World Series? Sure,
no chance, there's so much better.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, there's always a chance, Bill, don't do the no chance.
Don't you remember this is the best Dodger team that
I've ever seen, and they got bounced by the pod race.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Remember Dave Roberts interview with Dan Patrick, what he said,
We're gonna win the World Series and they guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That was terrible.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, but but then it has this kind of team then,
I mean, Sho's gonna pitch for God's sake. That's unbelievable.
The rotation is so deep a lot, I'm so deep.
They're all they're all one rings, they've all been heroes.
I mean, it's just, yeah, I don't see any Only
(30:22):
injury can stop them. Only injury. Only too many Indians,
too many pitches. But you know they're going to do that.
They'll have bull playing games the whole season probably, so
they'll do every days again, to play for October. I
just don't see anybody. I see nobody even in their
in their stratosphere, and it's crazy. So again I'm setting
them up to getting self to get ripped. Yeah, get
(30:44):
a Bill, it could be really they could. They don't
sweep in Tokyo. I'm gun coming after him.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Grow the tree, to grow the tree, to chop it down.
Grow the tree to chop it down.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Exactly, Gradous's exactly what we're doing to everybody in town.
Speaker 3 (31:00):

Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's exactly right. Maybe people can meet you if if
our show is going to be after the Dodger game.
Let's say the Dodger game is running a little bit
long and you have already left your residence to make
your way down there, is there a particular kind of
like window of time you'd like the listeners to maybe
meet you at the Pat Nixon statue.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Oh, I am gonna go see Pat, but it's probably
before the game. Yeah, yeah, probably around somewhere at the
two o'clock hour, three o'clock hour. Well, we started four.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
The Pat Nixon statue, would you Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I'll be around. I'll be to see Pat around three twenty.
I also like to stop by the library too, the
biblio Tech. It's beautiful there. Well in Serrina.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
What enough money on it?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Tonight? We got uc it, We got UCLA Northwestern. So
Matt and I will do another twenty minutes after the
top of the hour. Here your dead guy. Birthday of
the day, Matt. I was inspired by the city of
your youth, the Black City, Chicago. George Pulman not born
in Chicago, but a Chicago giant, buried in the Graceland
(33:25):
Cemetery right next to Daniel Burnham, a real stickler for
money power and the mistreating of employees. But George Pulman
is a great name of the nineteenth century. Born in
New York. His father was a carpenter and a handy guy.
He learned a lot from him, and he ended up
(33:46):
in Chicago. And Matt, as you know Chicago in the
eighteen fifties, you'll remember, because you had your pants all
hitched up, was like a swamp. City was built too low.
We too low. So they raised the street level like
three feet in Chicago, a few meters in some places.
(34:07):
And Pullman and a partner went to Chicago to raise
buildings up like Jesus raised them up like six feet
while keeping the buildings open at the same time. Of course,
Pullman developed a railroad sleeping car, the Pullman Sleeper, designed
after the packet boats that he knew on the Erie Canal.
(34:28):
The first one was finished in eighteen sixty four. Right
after Lincoln was assassinated. Pullman had his body carried from
DC to Springfield in a sleeper, and the orders poured in.
Everybody wanted to ride like Lincoln's lifeless body.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Matt Our cars are so quiet that you'll sleep as
well as dead, Abe did. That's why I leave. That
was the marketing pitch.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Well, it was called the Presidential Car. In eighteen sixty
seven he introduced the tell on Wheels, a sleeper with
a kitchen and a dining car, and then the Delmonico,
the first sleeper dedicated to find cousine with a menu
prepared by New York City's Delmonico's. Pullman's trains also had porters,
(35:20):
guys bringing sandwiches and mending clothes and doing everything that
came from Pullman. That was his idea. Him and Old
Andrew Carnegie. They built out of him. Well, I felt
the pause. I thought you were waiting for that, so
I mean, I thought you might be like, wow, I
know about Carnegie. I've been okay, forget it. They bought
(35:43):
a financially troubled Union Pacific in eighteen seventy one took
over the railroads Pullman. Washington is named after him, Matt.
They did that because they were like, for sure, if
we name our town Pullman, they'll bring the railroad here.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
We'll get some tracks.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Instead, the railroad went to Spokane. They kept the name.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
He did have his own company town in Chicago, you know,
Matt Pullman Chicago, twelve miles from the Loop to How's employees.
He charged them rent, and during the financial panic of
eighteen ninety three he never never lowered their rent. And
the depression he laid off hundreds. Still wouldn't lower rent,
(36:26):
wouldn't lower ticket prices. Legendary strike that the entire US
felt tarnished his name. Only thirty four people were killed.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Not a bad ratio, you know back then.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Well, at least he cut wages thirty percent during.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
A depression and then raced rent. What a good guy.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Illinois took his town away in eighteen ninety eight and
annex did to Chicago. He died the year before of
a heart attack, fearing that former employees or labor supporters
would dig up his body and beat it up. He
is sealed in lead and concrete. George Pullman one of
(37:09):
the great train men.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Of the United States history. So not just lead, not
just concrete.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
The casket was made of and sealed in lead, and
then like six feet of concrete on every side. You
can't get to George.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
No, you're not gonna get that carcass out.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You might take his town, you can't.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah, that's exactly right, beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, that's my backyard Pullman.
I think it's probably like Rosland. Now, the Burnham Woods
you mentioned Burnham is kind of the woods where we
would you know.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
The giants of the city of Chicago.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Matt, exactly. You're a live guy. This is made for
you and for all of our Petros and Money Show listeners.
A very PMS, A live guy, A happy, a live guy.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's gonna be an awesome time. I might dare to say, Matt,
you're gonna pop off from four to seven. All right,
it is time now for the top story of the day,
top story of it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So we had a pair of games over the weekend
in the Lakers and the Clippers, and this is someone
who watched both of them, one here late night as
I'm two hours ahead of the Los Angeles time zone
in Houston, and another back home on Saturday night. I
came to this conclusion. It's something we've discussed before, but
I don't think we've had an opportunity to see these
(04:20):
two teams tangle in as many days, two games, two days.
What a waste. For the second time in the last
fifteen years, the Clippers had been served popularity on a
platter right there in front of them to try and
(04:41):
snatch up some kids, the next generation of basketball fans.
I see it with what the Chargers are trying to
do with their flag football leagues all over the Southland.
They know NFL allegiances are very hard to break. And
while it may not make a lot of sense for
someone who was born and but their dad or their
(05:02):
mom was a Packer or a Steeler or a Giant
or a Cowboy fan, and despite being a native Los ANGELESO,
they continue to support those teams instead of taking their
kids to a game or two of the Rams or
the Chargers and having the benefit of having that team
right here. But basketball, now, basketball is much more transactional,
(05:26):
but it's much more individual.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, they've faced everybody out. The NBA has priced everybody
out as far as actually going to the stadium, So
it's very easy. It's very easy to switch allegiances when
you're never there.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, now there are still old bastards like us who
do look at the name on the front of the
jersey and appreciate it, stay loyal to it. But over
the last thirty.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Years, that's how I think of it. I like to
speak slowly, like I'm a cowboy going through the Love
this valley. I'm loyal to it. Love the trees and
the wind.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Feel the Chris Brace, smell the dirt.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Death. This valley was untouched.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
This was spearheaded. In my opinion, I believe that's Imo
and text Lingo by Alan Iverson. Not people were Jordan fans,
just as they were Larry Bird or Magic Johnson fans.
But Iverson was the one who started the run of
kind of rod or Die, Wherever you go, I go
sort of feelings, and then kind of manifested itself. Expanded
(06:33):
in the mid two thousands with the arrival of Carmelo
and Lebron, but it really exploded with Kevin Durant. If
I were to pick a face of the I like
this guy. I don't care where he plays, it's a
pretty easy one. Because Kevin Durant was in freaking Oklahoma City,
for God's sake, Say now, he was in Seattle for
a second, but a tiny ass market forty second in
(06:57):
the United States. And by the way, they have no
business happening in NB A franchise ahead of the likes
of Seattle Market fifteen in my God, Vegas, Kansas City, Nashville,
all ahead of it debt. But to have Kevin Durant
become this megastar with his own best selling shoe, the
top selling jersey. Let it be known that no franchise
was safe from a migrating fan base if you didn't
(07:19):
have a superstar and or weren't winning. It's part of
the reasonable. Even though I didn't always agree with it.
From a basketball performance angle, I understood the Lakers superstar position.
Just keep someone that sells jersey, that becomes a kid's
favorite player on the roster, and you'll always have dads
and moms and sons and daughters that want to visit
(07:41):
Staples Center, Crypto the Crypto dot com arena to say
they were there to see right, Magic or Kobe or
Lebron played basketball in person. But you had some lean
years the mid nineties their biggest star was Nick van
Exel or Eddie Jones. Love those teams, but the form
(08:01):
wasn't sold out, and that was before the Iverson craziness
took hold and obviously the kd deal, But the Lakers
weathered it and then they arrived in the late nineties
with Shaq and Kobe, and then you know, there were
a few lean years after Shaq was traded the Kobe
Bryant trade demands, but they were able to recover with
the trade for Pow in just two and a half
(08:22):
short seasons. They win two titles in twenty nine ten,
but after that he had a six to seven year
run where the Clippers had an opening. Kobe entered the
twilight of his career was a bit of a polarizing personality.
The Lakers weren't a title threat. The Clips catch a
break by winning the draft lottery and in the number
(08:45):
one overall slot, they get a superstar Blake Griffin, a
style of basketball kids would love. They get a bona
fide MVP candidate and his prime in Chris Paul. And
they were in a position to challenge for an NBA
title every single year for a half decade, and they
did nothing with it. They stepped on their d's repeatedly.
(09:09):
They never won sixty.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You've got a lot of highlights played in the Twilight
Oh yeah, of Sports Center's popularity. But beyond those great highlights,
I believe you're correct. Hey, we were there when Blake
Griffin got traded at Sherwood Man.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Anyone can get traded, tim They only won the division once,
They only made it out of the first round the
first round twice, and it was impossible to gain any
momentum without the eyes of the nation upon them in
a conference final at least, never mind the NBA Finals.
And it's not like they were getting housed by some
buzzsaw in Their timing was just bad. No, they're booted
(09:45):
by the Grizzlies, who weren't superstar driven. They peed away
a two to nothing lead against the Blazers because of injury,
a three to one lead they had on the Rockets.
There's just no reason to hit your wagons to that
train of sadness. It was apparent that there was nothing
disappointment coming.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It was Gavin Newsom's train to nowhere. Yeah, you hit
your wagon and every year it led you absolutely to
the same place in the middle of nowhere, and every
year you're like, no, this year, this train's gonna take
it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Fabulous, gonna take me to a beautiful.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Stat every year, it just to take you straight to
the death valley.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Zizik's road with a bindle and no water. And then
before you knew it, the window was closed. The Lakers
experiment of going young, trying to make superstars out of
top five picks D'Angelo, Russell, brandon ingram Lonzo Ball failed
miserably just because they picked the wrong guys. And instead
of putting their heads down and being patient, they turned
things over to Lebron And in that immediate moment, Laker
(10:47):
fans were excited and all about it and this nightmare.
We got the best player in the league. Let's go
win some games. They did that in their second year.
Unfortunately for them it was in the bubble, so they
didn't get the full reward of that. But then it
started unraveling again. And again here's your opening ballmer. You
got Kawhi, you got Paul George, local guy, you got
(11:08):
UCLA's Norman Pole. You have great homegrown young players like
Zoubs and Coffee and Terrence Man, gritty guys that you
can appreciate. So you got Artja Hives James Harden to
go with Palm Dale's Paul George at All lined up
superstar and Kawhi Leonard to pull the people in, and
what happens They step on their day again. Guys can't
(11:29):
stay healthy, mental freaking breakdown in the bubble. They got
all super sad, guys lost their minds. It was an
abject failure. And yet again this year you're looking at
the Lakers and saying, man, it's getting ugly. This team
is bad. They're throwing a hail Mary at head coach,
getting a first time guy who's a freaking TV and
(11:51):
podcast star to be the not very likable, a condescending
jerk when he's sitting at the podium, and the Clippers
have group.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
They have the most inner native arena of all time built.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Right, Yeah, everyone's tired of Lebron having control of the Lakers.
Nobody cared about ad a zero in terms of moving
the needle as a superstar despite being paid like a
top five player of the league. And you just said it.
You know, the Clippers got a likable head coach, Gretaty,
bunch of play hard superstars, and a freaking two billion
(12:22):
dollar brand, freaking news state of the yard arena that
you'd like to think everyone would want to at least
check out just to see what the line.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I want to check it out, but I'm saving up
for parking exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Instead, they stick you with seventy two to one hundred
dollars parking, and that becomes a headline and a talking point.
If you want to go see a basketball game, not
only are the tickets going to cost you one hundred
bucks to sit in the nosebleeds, but it's gonna cost
you another seventy to one hundred dollars to park your car.
Kawhi Leonard still hurt. They didn't care. They resigned him.
(12:59):
People weren't going to into it. The storyline became empty seats.
Despite all the glowing reviews, I mean, how many people
did we hear from that said, O, yeah, I want
to it to it. It's incredible. You got to see
this place. But no, what he went. Team starts winning,
they're a little bit likable, they're pushing for a top
four seed, and then the hammer dropped. Watching Luca last night,
(13:19):
my god just freaking moved to Seattle. I mean, holy hell,
he is now feeling it. A superstar of superstars, a
megastar and in the analogy we mentioned when he arrived
the puppy added to the house that has the old
dog running around like he was five years younger instead
of at the end of the line. I got no
(13:41):
idea what Lebron is on these days, but man, he
ain't going quietly into retirement anymore. He, since the trade
of Luca, has decided to play at a considerably higher
level than he had been. Dancicic just turned twenty six
a couple days ago, throwing Magic Johnson like full court
he to the old man and stride for dunks, no look,
(14:02):
whip passes to teammates for wide open threes, taking one
of the best defenders in the game, and Kawhi Leonard
making him look foolish on dribble drives that are ending
in and ones. He's got the crowd eating out of
his hand when he's hitting step back threes and counting
the points one, poh three, everybody chanting along with him.
(14:23):
He's not just a basketball player. He's a beer drinking,
food eating little bit, pudgy showman, a freaking showman.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You left out the smoking oh and a smoking vapin
and hookah.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Vapian and hookah done. It's just not funny. Yeah, that's
super funny column. And now the Lakers are set for
the next ten years. To hell with the Oh, he's
gonna have to want to stay. He may not want
to be here, crowd. You see those Hollywood stars bowing
down to him and for all the Kicker window is closed, Matt.
(15:01):
It is not just closed, it has closed. It is cocked.
There is a metal screw that has been driven into
the encasement and now they've just yeah, they put plywood
over it as well, and they've stuck out over the
top of it.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well, I'm glad we have him here on the station
and we get pre.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, I mean everything is now. It's think about how
much it has shifted in freaking three weeks dramatically. Genie
has no control of the team. It's all clutch sports.
I hate Lebron James, f U Browny too, I love Luca.
How do I get tickets? Billy Mack and Stu. Stu's
(15:39):
not fighting with Billy anymore. He's all happy again.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Lebron James is not a front and center anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
No, He's like and that's what's funny, right, That's kind
of what led to his little, you know, peeing and
moaning at the All Star Game. That's what the speculation.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Was very interesting what Sonny Vaccaro sort of alluded to
just with his voice, like whatever happened there the trade? Yeah,
I think we all know what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well, hey, what happened came just in time for the
NBA Netflix partnership in Genie's show Running Point starring Kate
Hudson to show up at freaking number one. The timing
is incredible.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I wonder why people taking I wonder why people say
that this stuff is scripted.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Let me think about it.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You know, I never that show ever get that impression
at all.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Netflix. The NBA Netflix is looking for play by play properties,
and they have got a massive, massive, freaking purse from
which they can pull tens to hundreds of billions of
dollars from. And Running Point shows up when Clutch Sports
is putting Bronnie in the game for ten minutes and
(16:51):
he looks like a child that's been allowed on a
court as part of some promotion where his ticket got
pulled at halftime and he gets to play five minutes versus, oh,
it's not Lebron's team anymore. They didn't let him know
they were trading for Luca. He was all pissed off,
and Genie and and Rob Polinka pulled the master stroke
and now bang. Netflix's running point the Genie bus story,
(17:15):
how to run a team and take it away from
your a hole. Brothers starring Kate Hutson is number one.
My god, what did I say? Put plywood over that? Yeah,
just in case it in case it in freaking I
don't know, just you know, raise it, Clippers. The window
isn't shut, it's gone. The whole the whole building's has
(17:37):
been blown to nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Tomorrow Clippers at Suns tip off at seven right here
on anti Scipologies.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
My apologies. Stupid me for thinking one of the richest
men in the world could pour tens of billions of
dollars into a team to make an NBA franchise relevant
in town with the state of the art arena.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I know, Gillian and their sports public really doesn't pick
the team or create that kind of stuff, but they've
done us no favors, certainly have it. That's a direct
text to zoobots and that's about it. So whatever your
windows closed, enjoy it's closed. Hitting the glass over and
(18:18):
over like a confused bird. We'll be right back with
Bill Plaski. He'll talk about this and among other things
on the Petrol somebody should go on a m FI seventy
l A Sports.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Petro San and mondy AM five to seventy LA Sports.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Little play
by play Tonight you see LA at Northwestern trying to
shake off that loss to Purdue from Friday. Get back
on the winning side of things. Is they only have
a couple more games until the Big Ten tournament shows
up a week from Wednesday. You'll get tip off coming
(18:55):
up at six pm, so we will get out of
your way at about five thirty ten.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Night, All right, joining us right now, the one and
only hero of the city. His sharp pen, eloquent tongue,
overall fabulous demeanor. One of the greatest scribes ever, a
best selling author, and of course the number one sports
(19:20):
columnist on earth, perhaps the most decorated we've ever had.
He writes through the LA Times. See him on Around
the Horn as well on ESPN, and is the great
Bill Plashki on your Southern California Toyota Neators celebrity hotline.
Always great to catch up with Bill. A joyful time
in town. The Lakers are hot, highly anticipated Dodger season coming.
(19:46):
Everybody's happy. Hello, Bill, how are you?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
The most important question is did you did you not
agree with me on Mick Cronin?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Oh, I don't agree with you at all anything. McK
cronan says. It's fine. He could go into the stands
and start choking students and I would support him, Bill,
And if you attacked him, I'd come over to your
house and challenge you physically.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I believe Nick Cronin puts the word angel in Los Angeles. Yeah,
that's my position.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
That's right, because he does good interviews.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Come on, well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
He doesn't do good interviews.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Do in the immortal words of Ralph Lawler, Bill, how
do you know that?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
To answer your question, Bill, I understand that he could
be polarizing because he gets all riled up. But I
think everybody on his team probably expects him to be
that way, and they knew he was going to be
that way when he signed like that. If it upsets
some of the bruin uh blue bloods in the stands,
the F bombs can be hurt so loudly. Uh, then Yeah,
(20:53):
maybe he Maybe he will end up in uh in
Indiana and Bloomington or something like that if it's too
much for the people here, because if he's coaching it
Indiana or a place like that, the crowd is so
loud you can't hear him cussing out the player.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
That's a great point, But I think miss gotta win.
He got to win big in order to keep the
fans on him. Sack, because I think the fans are tired
of him.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Are you tired of them?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know he's He's a great guy. He's a great interview.
I love talking to him. He just drives me crazy
when he passes away into his players and doesn't take
it on him one himself drives me nuts. But enough
about me, Cron, How about the USC women? How about
Juju Watson?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Bill, you're gonna lead with that?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Wait? Bill, come on, Bill, you can't just say that
and then walk away from the Bruins. We got him
here on the station. They're playing Northwestern. They got a
shot to win the Big Ten tournament. Is in this
part kind of part of the shift of not being
able to get after kids anymore. I mean, these kids
are making eight hundred grand, four hundred grand, six hundred grand.
(21:54):
Gotta be able to challenge him. Look at what Rick
Patino's done at Saint John's. Everybody was all over him
last year for his behavior on the sidelines, and oh,
this doesn't work anymore, even though it's Saint John's and
it's New York City and it's supposed to be like
And now look at them, They're going to end the
drought since twenty nineteen. They're the number six team in
the nation because it's finally somebody holding these kids accountable.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Man, I think he goes with Campbell, But does he
do it publicly? After every laws make it so public
in his vitriol against his players. And I realize, you're
all pros, we're all making good money. But even in
JJ raris your crash? Is payers like that? I mean,
I just think I think he goes a whole over
the line in the sidelines. How about how many tests
(22:38):
does he get? How many technical fouls does he get
that hurts the team?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, a couple here.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
And I don't think you have some money? Did he
have a chance to win a Big ten tournament?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, Yeah, I think so. I mean, you got Michigan.
That's that's shown some cracks miss they already beat Michigan State.
Produced got no big men like there. You know you
get on a run, and sure, why not.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
I'm a big tournament. I'll come out here and support
me corone hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
All right here you heard of it, just like Kieran
Culkin's wife's gotta have four kids now, the great pill
Plaski is our guest, So Laine, last night I didn't
watch it. That's all right, Bill wil was born. You
wrote about the women's basketball and I'm even gonna ask
you about it. You mentioned Juju Watkins. You've always been
(23:30):
a fan of women's basketball. You've loved Corey Close for
years and sung her praises on our air. But how
big of a story legitimately, Bill, do you think that
USC women and Juju can be if they make a run,
which they probably inevitably will, uh.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Deep into the tournament. She's the new Kaitlin Clark and
look at Kitland Tarket last year. To the reading, it'll
be huge. USC is the best team in the country,
and there I do believe are we winn's the championship
and Juju is the best player in the country. I
think I think it's all gonna be. It's gonna be
the headlines, it'll be the park page, It'll be huge
in a couple of weeks. She's just she plays. She's
(24:10):
like a mixture of Kobe and MJ and Shaq and Lebron.
I mean, she's like, she's like a little bit of everything.
She's so talented. She pulls up the screen. She she
drives the ratings, and she's so cool. I mean, she's
so cool. I don't know. I'm just a huge Juju fan,
huge USC basketball women's basketball fans, not a big UCLA
(24:33):
basketball fan, women's basketball fan too. Right now, Corey host
can't have a good game against USC.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
The Big Ten basketball tournaments are back to back weeks
and they're both in Indianapolis. Uh so are you going
to attend both? Just the women? Just the men?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
No one, no, no, Ben boltays all are traveling. Stop
the biggest stories the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Luca and the Lakers Luca is taking the spotlight from Lebron.
Uh it's become there's a major shift we were just
talking about in the last segment. Uh, A gigantic story.
How far do you think it can go and is
this us for the next decade talking about how great
Luka Doncic is and the Lakers pee cocking this guy around.
(25:17):
He's a great player.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I'm stunned. I can't still can't believe him in the
Laker uniform. Looke looks like it's some kind of uh
A mass parade or something. I can't believe he's actually
run proplem gold. They are so much better than I
thought they'd be. They are stunning, They are NBA Finals good.
He's changed everything. He's re energized Lebron. He's re energized.
They are. He's got the spacing down, typically played great defense.
(25:44):
He's done. He's done wonders just by showing up. I'm
stunning you guys. Are you as surprised as I am?
I'm stunning good.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, I'll tell you Bill. I think the the thing
that that jumps out at me more than than anything
is I feel like in these nine games that he's
been here, that Laker fans and and this could just
be being a prisoner of the moment, but that Laker
fans are more excited about this than they were the
first nine games of Lebron James as crazy as that sounds,
(26:13):
that's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Right your money, you're absolutely right on the fans love
this guy. He love this guy in the way he's
already grew with that Lebron he owns he owns the
team now. But then and Lebron his credit. It's not complained.
It's not at least not saying anybody I know about
losing power. But he's lost all his power. This is
(26:36):
Lucas team, and they play with Lucas energy, they play
with Lucas his fun. He laughs, he jokes, he gestures,
he's a real person. I mean, he's just he's anti
Lebron and he's changed every He's changed everything over there.
I mean, you watch it, you think, well, this team's
really really good. And I give JJ Redder credit because
(26:59):
I thought he couldn't coach. It's in a massiful job.
Get these guys. He's lower in order, getting the play defense,
getting in the play harder every night. It's it's really
as good. It's a complete stunning turn around of events.
Studying turn of events for me.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah, I tell you, And you're around him. You go
to the post games, you go to the games, you
hear the way he interacts with his teammates, Like, like
Petro said, we were just talking about this. I don't
know if he appreciates it, just because of the alpha
male that he is and and sort of how he's wired.
But I hope he realizes how Luca got him off
(27:35):
the hook and how toxic things were with the Lakers
prior to Luca's arrival, because remember, all we were doing
was bitching about Bronnie and what a mess. How is
this guy taken over this franchise? And why is Bronnie
James on the Lakers? And why are they the sixth seed?
And now it's this is the number one must watch
team in all of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
It's a great point. One of the point you make
is nobody's talking about Bronni anymore. Nobody's talking about Bronnie.
That's what it's all you need to know about. Thought
about the Lakers. They've gone from being a joke to
a serious contender. And Lebron better be thankful because this
guy could see this guy could give Lebron uh well,
one or two more titles, and so you know, and
Lebron was done. He was done before the trade. He
(28:19):
was done. He was done here. I wrote to Day
to Day for trade ad is you trade Lebron and
Broncho your ask out? I'm surprised he didn't ask out
so when when the trade was made? But to see
what's happened to his career now into his career arc,
into the Lakers' career arc, it's just startling it just
so it feels so different over there. You're right, it
(28:39):
feels like there's hope, there's light, there's fun, and Lebron
had had stolen all that way.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
This guy gave back, always bringing hope and life and
fun to every conversation. Is Bill Plaski, He's like a
rainbow entering the rooms. Are you going to tope? Bill?
You had so much fun in China.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I'm not going all that way for two damn games.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
No way? But you are excited. This is a pretty
exciting UH Dodger season as far as anticipation goes, Is
it not?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
They're so good, they're gonna be so good, They're they're
setting themselves off here ripped by me every every week
when you lose and they lose, I'm ripping him because
that's the only story out there. Literally win one hundred
and twenty games. You're unbelievable. They had two rotations, they
have an all start there, I mean, is there you
all see any way they don't win the world Yeah,
(29:36):
right right now? You see any way they don't win
the World Series. Any chance they don't win the World Series? Sure,
no chance, there's so much better.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, there's always a chance, Bill, don't do the no chance.
Don't you remember this is the best Dodger team that
I've ever seen, and they got bounced by the pod race.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Remember Dave Roberts interview with Dan Patrick, what he said,
We're gonna win the World Series and they guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That was terrible.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, but but then it has this kind of team then,
I mean, Sho's gonna pitch for God's sake. That's unbelievable.
The rotation is so deep a lot, I'm so deep.
They're all they're all one rings, they've all been heroes.
I mean, it's just, yeah, I don't see any Only
(30:22):
injury can stop them. Only injury. Only too many Indians,
too many pitches. But you know they're going to do that.
They'll have bull playing games the whole season probably, so
they'll do every days again, to play for October. I
just don't see anybody. I see nobody even in their
in their stratosphere, and it's crazy. So again I'm setting
them up to getting self to get ripped. Yeah, get
(30:44):
a Bill, it could be really they could. They don't
sweep in Tokyo. I'm gun coming after him.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Grow the tree, to grow the tree, to chop it down.
Grow the tree to chop it down.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Exactly, Gradous's exactly what we're doing to everybody in town.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Get there, all right, Well, we'll help you, Bill. We
appreciate you joining us, the one and only Bill Plants Brothers,
a hero of the people and an honorary Panic brother
like Zeppo Marx. We appreciate you. Bill. Have a great
week and then weekend and we won't see you in Tokyo. Yeah,
(31:21):

with your right. We got the Dead and the Live guy.
Birthday of the Day coming up next. We'll follow mc
cronin into hell. Well what today to be back on
(31:41):
the Petro send Money show of Flex Alert, no doubt,
but still plenty of great sports talk to be had.
And we've been telling you since the first segment. Next Monday,
we're live from Bjay's Restaurant in brue House and Soritos
from four to seven. That's on one and eighty third.
We've been there before. We'll have prizes on site, including
(32:03):
Bjay's gift cards, beach Life tickets, and Dodger tickets. They
were like, we might have Dodger tickets. Like, we're gonna
have Dodger tickets. We're gonna levard ball it, don't you
know if we wanted to, we could grow back our
amputated leg.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's exactly right. Maybe people can meet you if if
our show is going to be after the Dodger game.
Let's say the Dodger game is running a little bit
long and you have already left your residence to make
your way down there, is there a particular kind of
like window of time you'd like the listeners to maybe
meet you at the Pat Nixon statue.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Oh, I am gonna go see Pat, but it's probably
before the game. Yeah, yeah, probably around somewhere at the
two o'clock hour, three o'clock hour. Well, we started four.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
The Pat Nixon statue, would you Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I'll be around. I'll be to see Pat around three twenty.
I also like to stop by the library too, the
biblio Tech. It's beautiful there. Well in Serrina.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
What enough money on it?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Tonight? We got uc it, We got UCLA Northwestern. So
Matt and I will do another twenty minutes after the
top of the hour. Here your dead guy. Birthday of
the day, Matt. I was inspired by the city of
your youth, the Black City, Chicago. George Pulman not born
in Chicago, but a Chicago giant, buried in the Graceland
(33:25):
Cemetery right next to Daniel Burnham, a real stickler for
money power and the mistreating of employees. But George Pulman
is a great name of the nineteenth century. Born in
New York. His father was a carpenter and a handy guy.
He learned a lot from him, and he ended up
(33:46):
in Chicago. And Matt, as you know Chicago in the
eighteen fifties, you'll remember, because you had your pants all
hitched up, was like a swamp. City was built too low.
We too low. So they raised the street level like
three feet in Chicago, a few meters in some places.
(34:07):
And Pullman and a partner went to Chicago to raise
buildings up like Jesus raised them up like six feet
while keeping the buildings open at the same time. Of course,
Pullman developed a railroad sleeping car, the Pullman Sleeper, designed
after the packet boats that he knew on the Erie Canal.
(34:28):
The first one was finished in eighteen sixty four. Right
after Lincoln was assassinated. Pullman had his body carried from
DC to Springfield in a sleeper, and the orders poured in.
Everybody wanted to ride like Lincoln's lifeless body.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Matt Our cars are so quiet that you'll sleep as
well as dead, Abe did. That's why I leave. That
was the marketing pitch.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Well, it was called the Presidential Car. In eighteen sixty
seven he introduced the tell on Wheels, a sleeper with
a kitchen and a dining car, and then the Delmonico,
the first sleeper dedicated to find cousine with a menu
prepared by New York City's Delmonico's. Pullman's trains also had porters,
(35:20):
guys bringing sandwiches and mending clothes and doing everything that
came from Pullman. That was his idea. Him and Old
Andrew Carnegie. They built out of him. Well, I felt
the pause. I thought you were waiting for that, so
I mean, I thought you might be like, wow, I
know about Carnegie. I've been okay, forget it. They bought
(35:43):
a financially troubled Union Pacific in eighteen seventy one took
over the railroads Pullman. Washington is named after him, Matt.
They did that because they were like, for sure, if
we name our town Pullman, they'll bring the railroad here.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
We'll get some tracks.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Instead, the railroad went to Spokane. They kept the name.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
He did have his own company town in Chicago, you know,
Matt Pullman Chicago, twelve miles from the Loop to How's employees.
He charged them rent, and during the financial panic of
eighteen ninety three he never never lowered their rent. And
the depression he laid off hundreds. Still wouldn't lower rent,
(36:26):
wouldn't lower ticket prices. Legendary strike that the entire US
felt tarnished his name. Only thirty four people were killed.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Not a bad ratio, you know back then.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Well, at least he cut wages thirty percent during.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
A depression and then raced rent. What a good guy.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Illinois took his town away in eighteen ninety eight and
annex did to Chicago. He died the year before of
a heart attack, fearing that former employees or labor supporters
would dig up his body and beat it up. He
is sealed in lead and concrete. George Pullman one of
(37:09):
the great train men.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Of the United States history. So not just lead, not
just concrete.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
The casket was made of and sealed in lead, and
then like six feet of concrete on every side. You
can't get to George.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
No, you're not gonna get that carcass out.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You might take his town, you can't.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah, that's exactly right, beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, that's my backyard Pullman.
I think it's probably like Rosland. Now, the Burnham Woods
you mentioned Burnham is kind of the woods where we
would you know.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
The giants of the city of Chicago.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
