Wherever you get your podcasts now Here's Petros Papadacus and
Matt money Smith.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Success is achieved by doubling our strength, not by eliminating
our weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The hour two go until six thirty tonight, not quite
seven o'clock, but a three and a half hour show.
It's Clipper Basketball. Clipper's hosting the Knicks. Lakers got him
last night. Clippers get him on the second of a
back to back. No Jalen Brunson after he rolled his
ankle in overtime yesterday. Big win for the Lakers. Can
the Clips make it two in a row? Well? Find
out six thirty pm. Pre game seven thirty pm. Tip.
(01:14):
No Dodgers today on the air because of the Clipper game,
so you can see it on the telly. But our
next game will be on Sunday with a first pitch
at one o'clock. And perhaps the most exciting thing we
got going today, not necessarily in the next week, pe
but is the bang bang bang here we go?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Alright? I mean what that is exciting that I think
the it brings the day damn energy, Matt. We need
that jolt of energy three and a half hours show
on a Friday. You know, I know you've been working
throughout the day. You might need a bang bang bang
here we go or some day damn energy to get
through this. I feel like you might maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Maybe we will go. I feel better. I feel a
little bit better.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Would you feel better if they maybe if you had
a Philipino DJE Maybe if the Filipino dj came through.
Because Monday we are live in Cerritos from four to seven.
See the if and look in our eyes at one
(02:19):
one and eighty third Street in Cerritos, right out the
six oh five freeway at South Street. Matt and I
will be there with our promotions team. Tim Kates is
gonna stay back and hold it down. We'll have prizes
on site, Dodger tickets, Beach Life Festival tickets, of which
(02:43):
we have to give away today, BJ's gift cards, BJ's
restaurant in brew House. We love being there. This fulfills
our deal for the twenty twenty four season BJ's ore.
Bj stints are a lot like how would you say it?
Like the NFL season. You know, it starts you win
(03:08):
the twenty twenty four super Bowl the twenty twenty four season,
but it happens in twenty twenty five. You know, we
finished the bjays contract in twenty twenty four, in twenty
twenty five, but it's the twenty twenty four contract. That's
correct to say, right too? Yes, yep, yeah, Because now
(03:29):
are they coming back? Have we back?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, yes, it'll be coming back.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh wow, Matt, that's Pozochi's for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It is very excited about that, all right. I was
distracting myself by dancing in a similar fashion as Uncle
Buck Russell did with Marcy in the living room of
his brother and sister in law's home while babysitting Mazie
(04:04):
and the other kids.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
John Candy has been dead for decades, but we still
talk about him in the leagues today.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I always liked Uncle Buck's moves when Marcy is trying
to like kick his legs out and for whatever reason,
to get his boots out there.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Even though they say, Matt, you know, he has a
little bit of a weight problem. But John Candy was
a leading man. He had the emotion and the lackability
and was without a doubt, a leading man. Now you
might think that these are dated references, but Fred often
likes to tell a story about Jack Lelane's wife being
(04:41):
named Elaine l Laye. Late it's time for the word
of the day. His words the word of the day. Now,
whenever we talk about Bjay's restaurant in brew House, a
man and this is today's word of the day. Vinnie Bong,
Vinnie Bong Senior. He always comes to our mind because
(05:03):
I believe we are at the Bjays in West Covina
and Vinnie Bong signor did not take one bag of
food to go on the company dime, but two almost
like chop wood carry.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Water seven dishes, like.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
He was feeding the whole family. And God bless him
by the way we throw well, you don't have those
hookups in Vegas exactly right. And you know nobody that
lives there goes to the buffet on the strip, which
is they were cheap. But anyway, we throw a lot
at our lead in show for good reason. They're an
(05:43):
insufferable group, figures is fine, Ronnie, you're cool, but you
got to give him credit. Vinnie Bong, who I would
say as much as Ned Colletti now because of the
forty minute marathon interviews, and as much as Dan Waki,
(06:04):
Vinnie Bong is property of Rogan and Rodney, right, yes, right,
like if one of those nineties eighties sweatshirts it said
property of Valencia.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Oh yeah, like the bum equipment kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, if he has a sweatshirt, it's property of Rogan
and Rodney XXL Deep Sea Fishing Outing twenty twenty two.
Vinnie Bong, He's the one that basically hinted at this
story seven hours ago. He said, if the Raiders do
(06:40):
go down the trade route for a veteran quarterback for
twenty twenty five Geno Smith makes a lot of sense.
Keep an eye on that one. And then after it
came to fruition as we know it did. Now, Vinnie
Bong then tweeted on top of that two little emojis
(07:07):
of the guy holding up his hands like the guy
when the guy, the security guy at Chicago beat Jordan
in the coin thing in the dock.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
When he was mocking him with the palms to the
sky from the Blazers finals game and win.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Guy. Correct, that's what Vannie Bong's doing. Like what bombs
of this guy?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, aren't you supposed to be an insider, Like
aren't you? Oh, come on, come on, man, nobody else
had this what he had this seven hours ago? Where
was Rappaport all those douches fighting it out and he
didn't have any of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Jnny b had it first. It was your guy. If
it was your guy, Harry and who predicted some move
for the Harry Henderson like this, you'd be like yeah,
you'd be like, wow, way to go, Harry.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I mean, Vinnie basically just telling everybody they're gonna trade
for Geno Smith seven hours ago by saying, if they're
gonna make a trade, you know Smith, somebody to keep
an eye.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's like a Wooes bomb right before I drop it.
But it's a Vinnie Bong.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's Yeah, what a bang from the bonger.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Give him his credit, dude, I think take it five,
five or six appetizers from.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What you do is let somebody else congratulate you on
having it, and then you reply to them, and then
that's how the people see it as opposed to the
are not great?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Oh you don't like Vinnie Bong's self victory lap. You
know some people, Matt, not everybody has Greg Papa. Who's
gonna Who's gonna blow their horn for him? Some people
have to blow their own horn for themselves. Greg Papa
is not putting on Vinnie Bong and blowing his horn.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I love that, Greg Papa.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah, well, I'm disappointed that you won't let Vinnie ba.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I want Vinnie Bong to have his I want Vinnie
Bong to get his flowers. I'm sorry I have to
direct my eyre and anger at someone. Since Fred and
Rodney got off, you know, we're let off the hook
thanks to our hypothetical of which lady would you rather
lay with the U indigenous or the they?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Then, well, which experience do you think would be? Do
you know the way? It is a nurturing tantrick like slow,
slow dive sort of experience. Yeah, that's we all have
a place in this world. Well, it depends on what kind.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Of moods you're I'm never in that mood. Well, mag
you know something, chicken, So listen, I really like this conversation.
And uh, but I'm just wondering, like, when are we
going to get to this? Are we gonna can we
kind of get this thing moving a little bit quicker?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What the number of the day?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No, no, no, I meant if that lady's gonna slowly
draw it out, you know, and we're we're we're weaving together.
And now we've got to play with those crazy sticks
that you see in the fish parking lot.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
She she's got to make her specialty that she's.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Gonna mak her special tea.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, she might smoke you out. You'd pass out.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, then I'd pass out, and then I wake up
and I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah that they that energy chick will treat.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You like your dog. That you are exactly right Like
Iggy Pop. I want you to have the power in this.
I want you to take control.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's time for the.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Number of the here's my number.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Number of the day says a lot about you that
you can't give any bong as flowers.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I congratulations Vinnie that you have that. That's wonderful. Vinnie
and I had a wonderful time on one of the
nights of the combine, A very nice gentleman, and I'm
happy that he had that seven hours ago. Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh, remember that somebody does something. I'm gonna be like,
isn't that their job? Mess touchdown past Herbert, wait to
do your job.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Your number the day is about twenty I think probably
about kids, maybe fifteen, maybe twenty five, I don't know.
I did something today for the Associated College Press. They
reached out to me last week. They were maybe two
three weeks ago. They do a huge convention every year,
(11:16):
and this year it happened to be in Long Beach
at the Hyatt and someone had connected them with me
since I lived close by. They were trying to find
somebody in sports to talk to the kids that were
interested in sports media and specifically play by play. So
was able to get with a group of college students
and talk a little bit about the world of play
(11:38):
by play and great kids Samuel.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Play, Josh Lewin, and Mick cronin sound I did.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was like, what you really need is post game conversation.
This is what you have to look forward to. Sammy
does a lot of the sports for KALU. The Kingsman
does football and basketball. I met Max who's at OCC
who does a bunch of of their sports there, and
we got a Fresno State Mountain West Network already girl
(12:06):
that goes to Fresno State. I think her name was
Linn if I remember right, but I bring it up
because of this p I kind of I knew this,
but I guess I didn't know the extent of play
by play out there. Due to the proliferation of streaming
and the desirability of every parent to watch their child
(12:31):
play a sport wherever they may be. This is for
all of you that dm us or email or text
or whatever about how do I get into the business.
I have a podcast. This is the route to go.
Every sport at every school is now up for a
(12:53):
play by play slash analyst, maybe a sideline reporter role.
You can get your reps. I was digging into what
was going on in the moment. They all stream on YouTube, Yeah, YouTube,
ESPN plus Temple versus Queen's University Women's Lacrosse Central Connecticut
versus Sacred Heart Softback.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I remember the PAC twelve network was trying to do that,
and maybe that's something they were ahead on, but you know,
they are so stupid about everything else. But yes, using
the young people at the school that are already working
on this kind of stuff to put on sports and
work sports that otherwise would not be covered. Right, it's
(13:30):
a great opportunity. Yes, it's awesome. Do not this is
your path.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
This is a much better path because play by play
is everywhere. Our man Colin got a big game tomorrow
night for NFHS over there on their network. He's doing
Harvard Westlake Roosevelt in the state champ in the I
think it's that's a big one, big one. So our
man Collin's going to be on that, and he lives
(13:56):
in Los Angeles and gets to do play by play,
gets called big games like Harvard, Westlake, east Vale, Roosevelt. Bang,
here we go. That's the path we go. Mac Wrestling
Championships on ESPN Plus today. You know what I'd give
to be able to call them Mac Wrestling Championship.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Actually, that does sound like that might warrant somebody who's
a little bit more experienced.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Probably reversal, take down, reversal escape, but yeah, great group
of kids, a lot of local college kids. Be it
at the Community of San Diego Community College. There were
Chris was from there, a lot of local kids and
really enjoyed talking with them and discovering that they're already
(14:41):
doing play by play as students and everything from water
polo to women's softball to football, basketball, men's football, obviously
men's basketball, but football as well. Great opportunities out there
if you weren't aware, get yourself into the play by
play folks.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Ronnie, this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
The Future Heads are a British band from Sunderland with
our song of the day called back to the Sea
because it is a Frogman Friday on the Petrosen Money
Show where it's back to the Sea we go with
three hours of great sports talk as we look to
the future and head toward Clippers basketball with the New
York Nixon Town for a head to head match up
(15:25):
into it where Adam Oslin will be hanging out ready
for your Clippers countdown show that begins at six thirty.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
The same thing.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's well coming up neck now you're running. We will
have the top story of the day. Oh, maybe a
hot take.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh, I'm excited about this one, Bete, I am excited
about this One's.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We will have a wag centric F one report a
little later, but a top story of the day that
is being sold so high.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh yeah, bull market, bull market on the top, on
the top story.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Congratulations the Vintie bok Sior.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We're doing his job.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Stay with us. Be done tonight after six thirty Clippers
versus Nick's tip off. At seven thirty, Adam Silver hit
a button and exploded poor Jalen Brunson's leg because he
(16:50):
might have beaten the Lakers last night in overtime, just
like he did Anthony Edwards. Oh say, he's a vampire,
that guy. That's true. But thanks for listening. Make sure
you podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app. If you're
not with us when we're on, you could be with
us when we're not and you can stream it live
there too for a real cool sound And right now,
(17:11):
speaking of that, here comes the original SoundHound, Matt Smith
with the top story to story of it head.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I swear it was like a fever dream, like a
vision from the Angel Moroni, Like holy hell. Everyone was
so close. They were all around it. All of these
people had pieces of this thing, but they couldn't connect it,
(17:44):
and it didn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
And then p then and then I realized, like I
was shot, Like I was shot with a diamond bullet,
a diamond bullet right from my forehead.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
And I thought, my god, the genius of that will genius.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You remember how you felt when you solve the horse
death mystery. To this day you still talk about that triumph.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, I mean, it's not every day you figure out
why horses die and horse races.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Right, I finally have that feeling today. I have that
feeling as I should out just.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Like Vinnie Bong. You know, you got toot your own
horn sometimes. You know what I'm saying, Matt and I
am prev Are you congratulating yourself?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I are congratulating myself. We've been all around it, the collective,
We in the media. The day it happened, we talked about, oh,
this this makes no sense. This has to be Adam Silver.
This has to be Adam Silver. The NBA has been
(18:55):
taken incoming. Their ratings are crap, their TV partners are kissed.
It is an absolute mess. You talked about the rumor.
Why why would the Mavericks do this? It's been a
national story. Who owns the Mavericks? The Adelsons. Miriam Addilson,
She's had a power broker, Sheldon Adelson.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And she's like a hother of your soul.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
She owns the Sands, the Las Vegas Sands. Pat Dumont,
the new Mavericks governor, taken over for now minority state
owner Mark Cuban twenty five percent. Addelson owns seventy five
percent Miriam and dumat president of the Sands Corporation. Miriam's
(19:40):
net worth since her husband, Sheldon passed away and she
inherited all of it thirty two billion, fifth richest woman
in the world, the richest Israeli and the forty fourth
richest person. Yes, the Las bac Vegas Sands is gone,
but the Sands company is not. It's massive. It's the Venetian,
it's the Palazzo.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
They still have to pay off Frank Sinatra's rider.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
They do.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
And also when he drove a golf cart through a
giant window.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
All right, here's the check book, what do we owe you?
They do all the casino action in Macau and Singapore.
It's a massive no, they don't like to gamble out there, Matt,
not at all. When Cuban sold the majority steak, why
did he do it? Quote this is from Cuban. The
(20:29):
advantage is what you can build and where, and you
need to have somebody who's really, really good at that.
Patrick and Miriam they're the best in the world at
what they do, literally in the world. And when you
get a world class partner who can come in and
grow your revenue base and you're not dependent on things
that you were in the past, it's a huge win.
(20:51):
And that was a new arena with a casino attached
to it, right next to the new Convention Center in Dallas.
That's why they were in a legalized gambling making its
way from state to state. So she buys the MAVs.
Miriam pumps something she is not a stranger to, pumps
two million dollars into the political cause, hands Governor Abbit
(21:15):
a million dollars himself, and she was rejected. The Texas
legislature said no, we're not doing it. So she gets pissed.
She wants her casino. She doesn't get it. This is
why she bought the Mavericks in the first place. And
everybody says, what well sabotage, You trade Luca, you raise
(21:38):
ticket prices, you piss everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Off, kick that fat guy out right.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You kick the fat guy out. You get the all
the people mouthing fire Nico, you get a no vote
on public funding for a new stadium. Now you can
pull the team, move it back home where you live,
Las Vegas. But I was like, that's not going to happen.
You're not leaving one of the richest markets, one of
(22:03):
the largest markets, for a sliver of its size. You
cut your net worth by two thirds. The Texas Rangers
are the twelfth most valuable team in Major League Baseball,
the soon to be Las Vegas A's after that announcement
twenty ninth, Mavericks' ninth on the Forbes list of most
valuable NBA franchises four point seven billion. You are not
(22:25):
moving a top ten team to market thirty eight. It's
not happening. Second part of this the infuriating sound that
Kate's played from Colin Cowherd saying Lebron's pulling the strings
on this behind the scenes. Lebron knew, lebron knew, Hey,
(22:49):
eighties not for me. I need help, I need someone
that's gonna get me another championship and it's not AD.
So you go out and you get me Luka Dancic
g darn you. And we're like, that's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard. And I think privately Lebron had said
he's a good fit, he's not the perfect fit. And
(23:14):
then I started thinking it was way too weird, this hole.
We had to keep it quiet. Rob Polinka was the
only guy I could trust because our relationship with Kobe
when we did that deal back in the day at Nike,
and he was Kobe's agent and I was the head
of endorsement and marketing Nico and Rob and that's why
(23:35):
I did the deal for Ad.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Oh, that's.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Just it didn't make sense. It's like, you need to
keep it quiet for what because you It's not like
you didn't pedal propaganda after you made the trade about Yeah,
we weren't gonna pay him. He's fat, he's drunk, he smokes,
His crew is a nightmare. We didn't want him. Like, Okay,
you would have had Anthony Edwards Minnesota trades you Anthony
(24:00):
Edwards for Luca. The Pacers would have traded you. Tyrese Haliburton,
and five number ones for Luka, Doncic, Devin Booker from
any of those guys. But you took Anthony Davis, a
perennially hurt thirty one year old because you had to
keep this a secret. What who'd you have to keep
it a secret from?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Hey, if you were going to trade him anyway, why
wouldn't you get a better deal?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Exactly? And then it hit me like a diamond bullet,
like a give it to me again, Kate's like a
freaking diamond bullet.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It hit me.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And then I realized like I was shot, Like I
was shot.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
With a diamond, a diamond bullet right from my forehead.
And I thought, my god, the genius of that, the genius.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Back We don't everybody was right. Everybody was right. Adam
Silver's behind this. The Addlesons want to move to Las Vegas,
and Lebron.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Knew Zimmermiru and Tyler flu.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And here's how I connect all these dots. The NBA
is going to expand, perhaps as soon as next year.
The two markets they are going to add are Seattle
and Las Vegas. Lebron has already been public and behind
the scenes we know he's going to be part of
that ownership group in Las Vegas. The NBA is going
(25:34):
to accept a bid from someone that has Lebron as
part of their group because they want that. Look, you
know how important it is to them. You know what
those courts are painted with, what those T shirts, How
important this stuff is to them. They want Lebron in.
And so whichever group gets him, you know, the number
is going to be the number. Everybody's going to bid
it up anyway to get that Las Vegas expansion franchise.
(25:58):
So you have to have Lebron on your side. Three
D chess, three D chefs. So here's what Miriam Addelson does.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Pomp up the NBA, go to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Black channels to Lebron. I'm gonna, hey, Lebron, I'm gonna
get you your freaking championship. I'm going to send Luka
Doncic to the Lazos. She's only eighty. I'm gonna send
Luca deb to La Lebron is going to be playing
for an NBA title in his in his twilight years
(26:32):
instead of just playing out the string for a playing game, right,
I am going to have the entire Dallas market infuriated
with me. So in twenty twenty five, when it's time
for the Las Vegas expansion franchise to be awarded, Adam
Silver will award it to me, and I will then
(26:52):
sell my majority stake of the Mavericks because, okay, you
know what, We're gonna rectify this situation in Dallas. We're sorry,
we got you bad owners. Cuban's gonna come back to
the rescue. I'll take on a majority, We'll get another investor.
We're getting the Mavericks back Adelson. He'll make a little profit.
Couple hundred million bucks in his pocket for what he
(27:13):
had to do. Adelson gets awarded the Vegas franchise with
Lebron James as the expansion because of the good deed
she did in delivering him Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks,
and then she and here in business. Two years from
now when that franchise launches.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
What of the smoldering crater that is Dallas, Texas?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Couple hundred million bucks and Mark Cuban's pocket for taking
it back over buying it, buying a distressed asset that
he just sold seventy five percent for three and a
half billion. He'll buy it back for three billion. Hey,
assets distressed. I don't have Luka Donci Jennymore. The guy's
already traded Steve Nash. He already took an incoming for
(28:04):
getting rid of a guy that ended up going on
to win two MVPs and was able to recover from
that and win an NBA Championship. He's no stranger to this.
He knows how to navigate these rough.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Waters well at all.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
The call was coming from in the house.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I think I think maybe a few of those links
in the circle fit, maybe not all of them, but
may the circle be unbroken. I think you're gonna have
to run it by Rodney Pete.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
When the Adelson James Ownership Group launches the Las Vegas
hard Eights, you'll know the Hard Eights something along those lines.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
If they're gonna be the hard Eights, then for sure.
I mean, I think it was vampiric in nature. I
think the point you make, Matt about why did it
have to be quiet? Why did it have to be politicant?
If you were gonna already infuriate everybody? Yeah, what do
you care?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It's the only way you could have traded him to
the Lakers is if you just did it without holding
an auction. It wouldn't be possible to just deals would
have been too good. Yeah, the deals would have been
so much better anywhere.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Else deal with the fileout which you which you anticipate and.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Want and like today, Mark Cuban's doing an interview locally
in Dallas saying, yeah, look, if I were, if I
were still running the team, I would have netted at
least for first round picks and a younger superstar. He's
out there saying that I'll save you, Dallas, I'll come
to the rescue because this would have never happened on
(29:47):
my watch if I were still the majority owner.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Well, Matt, I mean I don't want to say that.
You know, I'm all in and just dive in both
feet and you know, be eating up like that guy
in the James Bond movie in the in the Cocaine Crusher.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
That'd be sweet. There's a lot of different ways you
can go, you know. Yeah, that's check out this way.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I think it was Benicio del Toro. Oh yeah, remember
that it was in one of the Timothy Dalton ones. Anyway,
thank you for listening. Let us know what you think
about Matt.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
The hell was the name of that that movie. Damn
it licensed to revoked? Is that what it was? License revoked?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
All I know is I paid for all those Dalton
Bond films to see him in the theater, even the
one with Denise Richards played a doctor.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Oh Christmas, Christmas, Christmas Jones.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Christmas good head or something oh.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Even better good like that? I think was the hot
was the good Head.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
We'll be right back, We'll get it all sorted out.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
On a five seventy LA Sports your home of the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Do that between now and six thirty. It's the waterfront
at Ronando Beach, Sublime, Pretender's Cake, Sugar Ray, all that.
So between now and six thirty, pair of tickets to
Day two of Beach Life. Get your tickets now, still
available at Beachlife Festival dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
All right, man, I got a couple of text osos
for you here before we move on.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Secret text us A fine brought to you by your
so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
We make it easy, Ruggan and Rodneyer media professionals. And
they're paying their own money to go watch their favorite
team play in another country. Let's just move on. Yeah, no,
they that's the kind of thing that really upsets people.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Right there, Like no that right there, that's whore that
text was from.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I can't wait for Matt to get a call from
an unknown number in about three hours. It's gonna be
Rodney and Rich Paul on the other line. Tell him
if he says one more g damned thing about the
trade orchestration, he'll be sent back to Indianapolis. He'll be
exiled if he spills any more of the grand plan.
It's a clutch world, Matt.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Spoiler alert. I have a feeling my destination will be
solidified come Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Your partner is going to go missing. No way knows. Sparatu.
Here's that segment and lets it slide. Also, Lebron isn't
going to own the Vegas team. He already owns the Lakers.
Bend the knee and spreads your cheeks, so you like
getting nailed by the king. Here we go, that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Did you ever think you'd be selling ceramics for Marongo
Casino when you were working at your dad's restaurant as
a young kid. The answer is absolutely no, and did
not foresee that? Matt, You are right, it's Christmas Jones.
Licensed to Kill was Dalton's bond film with a very
young Benisio del Toro going through the cocaine crusher. The
(33:13):
world is not enough is Pierce Brosnan featuring Denise Richards
is a nuclear physicist named Christmas Jones. So that's my bat,
Timmy Dalton, Tim Dalton, Yeah, he I cannot believe I'm
saying this, but Matt Smith's rabbit hole actually checks out.
(33:37):
Smith got the call, Silver got the call from Clutch.
Silver called that woman. That woman got a brown bag
full of casino chips. Lebron got his duca Bronny and
Luca and lead this team at the twenty thirty five
with Lebron as head coach. Adam Silver is super deep.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
State Deep State Forever.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Hey, why don't you order the eight and do a
do rag underneath it, you pinhead.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
It's a good look for me, the do rag under
the cap.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
You guys are so harsh on Brownie. Twenty six percent
seems pretty good from the floor. What does he shoot
on his feet?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well done?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
All right, we'll be back. We got the fe report
and Don McLean still cut
How's the stream stream commencing broadcasting on a five to
seventy LA Sports and streaming on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
While it's the longest running afternoon sports show in the city.
Speaker 3 (00:09):

Petros in Money Show.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Wherever you get your podcasts now Here's Petros Papadacus and
Matt money Smith.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Success is achieved by doubling our strength, not by eliminating
our weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The hour two go until six thirty tonight, not quite
seven o'clock, but a three and a half hour show.
It's Clipper Basketball. Clipper's hosting the Knicks. Lakers got him
last night. Clippers get him on the second of a
back to back. No Jalen Brunson after he rolled his
ankle in overtime yesterday. Big win for the Lakers. Can
the Clips make it two in a row? Well? Find
out six thirty pm. Pre game seven thirty pm. Tip.
(01:14):
No Dodgers today on the air because of the Clipper game,
so you can see it on the telly. But our
next game will be on Sunday with a first pitch
at one o'clock. And perhaps the most exciting thing we
got going today, not necessarily in the next week, pe
but is the bang bang bang here we go?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Alright? I mean what that is exciting that I think
the it brings the day damn energy, Matt. We need
that jolt of energy three and a half hours show
on a Friday. You know, I know you've been working
throughout the day. You might need a bang bang bang
here we go or some day damn energy to get
through this. I feel like you might maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Maybe we will go. I feel better. I feel a
little bit better.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Would you feel better if they maybe if you had
a Philipino DJE Maybe if the Filipino dj came through.
Because Monday we are live in Cerritos from four to seven.
See the if and look in our eyes at one
(02:19):
one and eighty third Street in Cerritos, right out the
six oh five freeway at South Street. Matt and I
will be there with our promotions team. Tim Kates is
gonna stay back and hold it down. We'll have prizes
on site, Dodger tickets, Beach Life Festival tickets, of which
(02:43):
we have to give away today, BJ's gift cards, BJ's
restaurant in brew House. We love being there. This fulfills
our deal for the twenty twenty four season BJ's ore.
Bj stints are a lot like how would you say it?
Like the NFL season. You know, it starts you win
(03:08):
the twenty twenty four super Bowl the twenty twenty four season,
but it happens in twenty twenty five. You know, we
finished the bjays contract in twenty twenty four, in twenty
twenty five, but it's the twenty twenty four contract. That's
correct to say, right too? Yes, yep, yeah, Because now
(03:29):
are they coming back? Have we back?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, yes, it'll be coming back.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh wow, Matt, that's Pozochi's for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It is very excited about that, all right. I was
distracting myself by dancing in a similar fashion as Uncle
Buck Russell did with Marcy in the living room of
his brother and sister in law's home while babysitting Mazie
(04:04):
and the other kids.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
John Candy has been dead for decades, but we still
talk about him in the leagues today.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I always liked Uncle Buck's moves when Marcy is trying
to like kick his legs out and for whatever reason,
to get his boots out there.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Even though they say, Matt, you know, he has a
little bit of a weight problem. But John Candy was
a leading man. He had the emotion and the lackability
and was without a doubt, a leading man. Now you
might think that these are dated references, but Fred often
likes to tell a story about Jack Lelane's wife being
(04:41):
named Elaine l Laye. Late it's time for the word
of the day. His words the word of the day. Now,
whenever we talk about Bjay's restaurant in brew House, a
man and this is today's word of the day. Vinnie Bong,
Vinnie Bong Senior. He always comes to our mind because
(05:03):
I believe we are at the Bjays in West Covina
and Vinnie Bong signor did not take one bag of
food to go on the company dime, but two almost
like chop wood carry.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Water seven dishes, like.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
He was feeding the whole family. And God bless him
by the way we throw well, you don't have those
hookups in Vegas exactly right. And you know nobody that
lives there goes to the buffet on the strip, which
is they were cheap. But anyway, we throw a lot
at our lead in show for good reason. They're an
(05:43):
insufferable group, figures is fine, Ronnie, you're cool, but you
got to give him credit. Vinnie Bong, who I would
say as much as Ned Colletti now because of the
forty minute marathon interviews, and as much as Dan Waki,
(06:04):
Vinnie Bong is property of Rogan and Rodney, right, yes, right,
like if one of those nineties eighties sweatshirts it said
property of Valencia.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Oh yeah, like the bum equipment kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, if he has a sweatshirt, it's property of Rogan
and Rodney XXL Deep Sea Fishing Outing twenty twenty two.
Vinnie Bong, He's the one that basically hinted at this
story seven hours ago. He said, if the Raiders do
(06:40):
go down the trade route for a veteran quarterback for
twenty twenty five Geno Smith makes a lot of sense.
Keep an eye on that one. And then after it
came to fruition as we know it did. Now, Vinnie
Bong then tweeted on top of that two little emojis
(07:07):
of the guy holding up his hands like the guy
when the guy, the security guy at Chicago beat Jordan
in the coin thing in the dock.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
When he was mocking him with the palms to the
sky from the Blazers finals game and win.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Guy. Correct, that's what Vannie Bong's doing. Like what bombs
of this guy?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, aren't you supposed to be an insider, Like
aren't you? Oh, come on, come on, man, nobody else
had this what he had this seven hours ago? Where
was Rappaport all those douches fighting it out and he
didn't have any of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Jnny b had it first. It was your guy. If
it was your guy, Harry and who predicted some move
for the Harry Henderson like this, you'd be like yeah,
you'd be like, wow, way to go, Harry.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I mean, Vinnie basically just telling everybody they're gonna trade
for Geno Smith seven hours ago by saying, if they're
gonna make a trade, you know Smith, somebody to keep
an eye.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's like a Wooes bomb right before I drop it.
But it's a Vinnie Bong.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's Yeah, what a bang from the bonger.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Give him his credit, dude, I think take it five,
five or six appetizers from.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What you do is let somebody else congratulate you on
having it, and then you reply to them, and then
that's how the people see it as opposed to the
are not great?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Oh you don't like Vinnie Bong's self victory lap. You
know some people, Matt, not everybody has Greg Papa. Who's
gonna Who's gonna blow their horn for him? Some people
have to blow their own horn for themselves. Greg Papa
is not putting on Vinnie Bong and blowing his horn.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I love that, Greg Papa.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah, well, I'm disappointed that you won't let Vinnie ba.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I want Vinnie Bong to have his I want Vinnie
Bong to get his flowers. I'm sorry I have to
direct my eyre and anger at someone. Since Fred and
Rodney got off, you know, we're let off the hook
thanks to our hypothetical of which lady would you rather
lay with the U indigenous or the they?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Then, well, which experience do you think would be? Do
you know the way? It is a nurturing tantrick like slow,
slow dive sort of experience. Yeah, that's we all have
a place in this world. Well, it depends on what kind.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Of moods you're I'm never in that mood. Well, mag
you know something, chicken, So listen, I really like this conversation.
And uh, but I'm just wondering, like, when are we
going to get to this? Are we gonna can we
kind of get this thing moving a little bit quicker?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What the number of the day?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No, no, no, I meant if that lady's gonna slowly
draw it out, you know, and we're we're we're weaving together.
And now we've got to play with those crazy sticks
that you see in the fish parking lot.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
She she's got to make her specialty that she's.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Gonna mak her special tea.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, she might smoke you out. You'd pass out.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, then I'd pass out, and then I wake up
and I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah that they that energy chick will treat.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You like your dog. That you are exactly right Like
Iggy Pop. I want you to have the power in this.
I want you to take control.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's time for the.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Number of the here's my number.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Number of the day says a lot about you that
you can't give any bong as flowers.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I congratulations Vinnie that you have that. That's wonderful. Vinnie
and I had a wonderful time on one of the
nights of the combine, A very nice gentleman, and I'm
happy that he had that seven hours ago. Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh, remember that somebody does something. I'm gonna be like,
isn't that their job? Mess touchdown past Herbert, wait to
do your job.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Your number the day is about twenty I think probably
about kids, maybe fifteen, maybe twenty five, I don't know.
I did something today for the Associated College Press. They
reached out to me last week. They were maybe two
three weeks ago. They do a huge convention every year,
(11:16):
and this year it happened to be in Long Beach
at the Hyatt and someone had connected them with me
since I lived close by. They were trying to find
somebody in sports to talk to the kids that were
interested in sports media and specifically play by play. So
was able to get with a group of college students
and talk a little bit about the world of play
(11:38):
by play and great kids Samuel.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Play, Josh Lewin, and Mick cronin sound I did.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was like, what you really need is post game conversation.
This is what you have to look forward to. Sammy
does a lot of the sports for KALU. The Kingsman
does football and basketball. I met Max who's at OCC
who does a bunch of of their sports there, and
we got a Fresno State Mountain West Network already girl
(12:06):
that goes to Fresno State. I think her name was
Linn if I remember right, but I bring it up
because of this p I kind of I knew this,
but I guess I didn't know the extent of play
by play out there. Due to the proliferation of streaming
and the desirability of every parent to watch their child
(12:31):
play a sport wherever they may be. This is for
all of you that dm us or email or text
or whatever about how do I get into the business.
I have a podcast. This is the route to go.
Every sport at every school is now up for a
(12:53):
play by play slash analyst, maybe a sideline reporter role.
You can get your reps. I was digging into what
was going on in the moment. They all stream on YouTube, Yeah, YouTube,
ESPN plus Temple versus Queen's University Women's Lacrosse Central Connecticut
versus Sacred Heart Softback.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I remember the PAC twelve network was trying to do that,
and maybe that's something they were ahead on, but you know,
they are so stupid about everything else. But yes, using
the young people at the school that are already working
on this kind of stuff to put on sports and
work sports that otherwise would not be covered. Right, it's
(13:30):
a great opportunity. Yes, it's awesome. Do not this is
your path.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
This is a much better path because play by play
is everywhere. Our man Colin got a big game tomorrow
night for NFHS over there on their network. He's doing
Harvard Westlake Roosevelt in the state champ in the I
think it's that's a big one, big one. So our
man Collin's going to be on that, and he lives
(13:56):
in Los Angeles and gets to do play by play,
gets called big games like Harvard, Westlake, east Vale, Roosevelt. Bang,
here we go. That's the path we go. Mac Wrestling
Championships on ESPN Plus today. You know what I'd give
to be able to call them Mac Wrestling Championship.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Actually, that does sound like that might warrant somebody who's
a little bit more experienced.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Probably reversal, take down, reversal escape, but yeah, great group
of kids, a lot of local college kids. Be it
at the Community of San Diego Community College. There were
Chris was from there, a lot of local kids and
really enjoyed talking with them and discovering that they're already
(14:41):
doing play by play as students and everything from water
polo to women's softball to football, basketball, men's football, obviously
men's basketball, but football as well. Great opportunities out there
if you weren't aware, get yourself into the play by
play folks.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Ronnie, this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
The Future Heads are a British band from Sunderland with
our song of the day called back to the Sea
because it is a Frogman Friday on the Petrosen Money
Show where it's back to the Sea we go with
three hours of great sports talk as we look to
the future and head toward Clippers basketball with the New
York Nixon Town for a head to head match up
(15:25):
into it where Adam Oslin will be hanging out ready
for your Clippers countdown show that begins at six thirty.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
The same thing.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's well coming up neck now you're running. We will
have the top story of the day. Oh, maybe a
hot take.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh, I'm excited about this one, Bete, I am excited
about this One's.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We will have a wag centric F one report a
little later, but a top story of the day that
is being sold so high.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh yeah, bull market, bull market on the top, on
the top story.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Congratulations the Vintie bok Sior.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We're doing his job.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Stay with us. Be done tonight after six thirty Clippers
versus Nick's tip off. At seven thirty, Adam Silver hit
a button and exploded poor Jalen Brunson's leg because he
(16:50):
might have beaten the Lakers last night in overtime, just
like he did Anthony Edwards. Oh say, he's a vampire,
that guy. That's true. But thanks for listening. Make sure
you podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app. If you're
not with us when we're on, you could be with
us when we're not and you can stream it live
there too for a real cool sound And right now,
(17:11):
speaking of that, here comes the original SoundHound, Matt Smith
with the top story to story of it head.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I swear it was like a fever dream, like a
vision from the Angel Moroni, Like holy hell. Everyone was
so close. They were all around it. All of these
people had pieces of this thing, but they couldn't connect it,
(17:44):
and it didn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
And then p then and then I realized, like I
was shot, Like I was shot with a diamond bullet,
a diamond bullet right from my forehead.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
And I thought, my god, the genius of that will genius.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You remember how you felt when you solve the horse
death mystery. To this day you still talk about that triumph.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, I mean, it's not every day you figure out
why horses die and horse races.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Right, I finally have that feeling today. I have that
feeling as I should out just.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Like Vinnie Bong. You know, you got toot your own
horn sometimes. You know what I'm saying, Matt and I
am prev Are you congratulating yourself?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I are congratulating myself. We've been all around it, the collective,
We in the media. The day it happened, we talked about, oh,
this this makes no sense. This has to be Adam Silver.
This has to be Adam Silver. The NBA has been
(18:55):
taken incoming. Their ratings are crap, their TV partners are kissed.
It is an absolute mess. You talked about the rumor.
Why why would the Mavericks do this? It's been a
national story. Who owns the Mavericks? The Adelsons. Miriam Addilson,
She's had a power broker, Sheldon Adelson.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And she's like a hother of your soul.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
She owns the Sands, the Las Vegas Sands. Pat Dumont,
the new Mavericks governor, taken over for now minority state
owner Mark Cuban twenty five percent. Addelson owns seventy five
percent Miriam and dumat president of the Sands Corporation. Miriam's
(19:40):
net worth since her husband, Sheldon passed away and she
inherited all of it thirty two billion, fifth richest woman
in the world, the richest Israeli and the forty fourth
richest person. Yes, the Las bac Vegas Sands is gone,
but the Sands company is not. It's massive. It's the Venetian,
it's the Palazzo.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
They still have to pay off Frank Sinatra's rider.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
They do.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
And also when he drove a golf cart through a
giant window.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
All right, here's the check book, what do we owe you?
They do all the casino action in Macau and Singapore.
It's a massive no, they don't like to gamble out there, Matt,
not at all. When Cuban sold the majority steak, why
did he do it? Quote this is from Cuban. The
(20:29):
advantage is what you can build and where, and you
need to have somebody who's really, really good at that.
Patrick and Miriam they're the best in the world at
what they do, literally in the world. And when you
get a world class partner who can come in and
grow your revenue base and you're not dependent on things
that you were in the past, it's a huge win.
(20:51):
And that was a new arena with a casino attached
to it, right next to the new Convention Center in Dallas.
That's why they were in a legalized gambling making its
way from state to state. So she buys the MAVs.
Miriam pumps something she is not a stranger to, pumps
two million dollars into the political cause, hands Governor Abbit
(21:15):
a million dollars himself, and she was rejected. The Texas
legislature said no, we're not doing it. So she gets pissed.
She wants her casino. She doesn't get it. This is
why she bought the Mavericks in the first place. And
everybody says, what well sabotage, You trade Luca, you raise
(21:38):
ticket prices, you piss everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Off, kick that fat guy out right.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You kick the fat guy out. You get the all
the people mouthing fire Nico, you get a no vote
on public funding for a new stadium. Now you can
pull the team, move it back home where you live,
Las Vegas. But I was like, that's not going to happen.
You're not leaving one of the richest markets, one of
(22:03):
the largest markets, for a sliver of its size. You
cut your net worth by two thirds. The Texas Rangers
are the twelfth most valuable team in Major League Baseball,
the soon to be Las Vegas A's after that announcement
twenty ninth, Mavericks' ninth on the Forbes list of most
valuable NBA franchises four point seven billion. You are not
(22:25):
moving a top ten team to market thirty eight. It's
not happening. Second part of this the infuriating sound that
Kate's played from Colin Cowherd saying Lebron's pulling the strings
on this behind the scenes. Lebron knew, lebron knew, Hey,
(22:49):
eighties not for me. I need help, I need someone
that's gonna get me another championship and it's not AD.
So you go out and you get me Luka Dancic
g darn you. And we're like, that's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard. And I think privately Lebron had said
he's a good fit, he's not the perfect fit. And
(23:14):
then I started thinking it was way too weird, this hole.
We had to keep it quiet. Rob Polinka was the
only guy I could trust because our relationship with Kobe
when we did that deal back in the day at Nike,
and he was Kobe's agent and I was the head
of endorsement and marketing Nico and Rob and that's why
(23:35):
I did the deal for Ad.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Oh, that's.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Just it didn't make sense. It's like, you need to
keep it quiet for what because you It's not like
you didn't pedal propaganda after you made the trade about Yeah,
we weren't gonna pay him. He's fat, he's drunk, he smokes,
His crew is a nightmare. We didn't want him. Like, Okay,
you would have had Anthony Edwards Minnesota trades you Anthony
(24:00):
Edwards for Luca. The Pacers would have traded you. Tyrese Haliburton,
and five number ones for Luka, Doncic, Devin Booker from
any of those guys. But you took Anthony Davis, a
perennially hurt thirty one year old because you had to
keep this a secret. What who'd you have to keep
it a secret from?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Hey, if you were going to trade him anyway, why
wouldn't you get a better deal?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Exactly? And then it hit me like a diamond bullet,
like a give it to me again, Kate's like a
freaking diamond bullet.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It hit me.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And then I realized like I was shot, Like I
was shot.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
With a diamond, a diamond bullet right from my forehead.
And I thought, my god, the genius of that, the genius.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Back We don't everybody was right. Everybody was right. Adam
Silver's behind this. The Addlesons want to move to Las Vegas,
and Lebron.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Knew Zimmermiru and Tyler flu.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And here's how I connect all these dots. The NBA
is going to expand, perhaps as soon as next year.
The two markets they are going to add are Seattle
and Las Vegas. Lebron has already been public and behind
the scenes we know he's going to be part of
that ownership group in Las Vegas. The NBA is going
(25:34):
to accept a bid from someone that has Lebron as
part of their group because they want that. Look, you
know how important it is to them. You know what
those courts are painted with, what those T shirts, How
important this stuff is to them. They want Lebron in.
And so whichever group gets him, you know, the number
is going to be the number. Everybody's going to bid
it up anyway to get that Las Vegas expansion franchise.
(25:58):
So you have to have Lebron on your side. Three
D chess, three D chefs. So here's what Miriam Addelson does.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Pomp up the NBA, go to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Black channels to Lebron. I'm gonna, hey, Lebron, I'm gonna
get you your freaking championship. I'm going to send Luka
Doncic to the Lazos. She's only eighty. I'm gonna send
Luca deb to La Lebron is going to be playing
for an NBA title in his in his twilight years
(26:32):
instead of just playing out the string for a playing game, right,
I am going to have the entire Dallas market infuriated
with me. So in twenty twenty five, when it's time
for the Las Vegas expansion franchise to be awarded, Adam
Silver will award it to me, and I will then
(26:52):
sell my majority stake of the Mavericks because, okay, you
know what, We're gonna rectify this situation in Dallas. We're sorry,
we got you bad owners. Cuban's gonna come back to
the rescue. I'll take on a majority, We'll get another investor.
We're getting the Mavericks back Adelson. He'll make a little profit.
Couple hundred million bucks in his pocket for what he
(27:13):
had to do. Adelson gets awarded the Vegas franchise with
Lebron James as the expansion because of the good deed
she did in delivering him Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks,
and then she and here in business. Two years from
now when that franchise launches.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
What of the smoldering crater that is Dallas, Texas?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Couple hundred million bucks and Mark Cuban's pocket for taking
it back over buying it, buying a distressed asset that
he just sold seventy five percent for three and a
half billion. He'll buy it back for three billion. Hey,
assets distressed. I don't have Luka Donci Jennymore. The guy's
already traded Steve Nash. He already took an incoming for
(28:04):
getting rid of a guy that ended up going on
to win two MVPs and was able to recover from
that and win an NBA Championship. He's no stranger to this.
He knows how to navigate these rough.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Waters well at all.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
The call was coming from in the house.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I think I think maybe a few of those links
in the circle fit, maybe not all of them, but
may the circle be unbroken. I think you're gonna have
to run it by Rodney Pete.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
When the Adelson James Ownership Group launches the Las Vegas
hard Eights, you'll know the Hard Eights something along those lines.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
If they're gonna be the hard Eights, then for sure.
I mean, I think it was vampiric in nature. I
think the point you make, Matt about why did it
have to be quiet? Why did it have to be politicant?
If you were gonna already infuriate everybody? Yeah, what do
you care?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It's the only way you could have traded him to
the Lakers is if you just did it without holding
an auction. It wouldn't be possible to just deals would
have been too good. Yeah, the deals would have been
so much better anywhere.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Else deal with the fileout which you which you anticipate and.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Want and like today, Mark Cuban's doing an interview locally
in Dallas saying, yeah, look, if I were, if I
were still running the team, I would have netted at
least for first round picks and a younger superstar. He's
out there saying that I'll save you, Dallas, I'll come
to the rescue because this would have never happened on
(29:47):
my watch if I were still the majority owner.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Well, Matt, I mean I don't want to say that.
You know, I'm all in and just dive in both
feet and you know, be eating up like that guy
in the James Bond movie in the in the Cocaine Crusher.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
That'd be sweet. There's a lot of different ways you
can go, you know. Yeah, that's check out this way.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I think it was Benicio del Toro. Oh yeah, remember
that it was in one of the Timothy Dalton ones. Anyway,
thank you for listening. Let us know what you think
about Matt.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
The hell was the name of that that movie. Damn
it licensed to revoked? Is that what it was? License revoked?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
All I know is I paid for all those Dalton
Bond films to see him in the theater, even the
one with Denise Richards played a doctor.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Oh Christmas, Christmas, Christmas Jones.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Christmas good head or something oh.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Even better good like that? I think was the hot
was the good Head.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
We'll be right back, We'll get it all sorted out.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (31:06):

Speaker 2 (31:14):

Day two of Beach Life. Get your tickets now, still

Speaker 3 (31:28):
All right, man, I got a couple of text osos
for you here before we move on.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Secret text us A fine brought to you by your
so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
We make it easy, Ruggan and Rodneyer media professionals. And
they're paying their own money to go watch their favorite
team play in another country. Let's just move on. Yeah, no,
they that's the kind of thing that really upsets people.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Right there, Like no that right there, that's whore that
text was from.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I can't wait for Matt to get a call from
an unknown number in about three hours. It's gonna be
Rodney and Rich Paul on the other line. Tell him
if he says one more g damned thing about the
trade orchestration, he'll be sent back to Indianapolis. He'll be
exiled if he spills any more of the grand plan.
It's a clutch world, Matt.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Spoiler alert. I have a feeling my destination will be
solidified come Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Your partner is going to go missing. No way knows. Sparatu.
Here's that segment and lets it slide. Also, Lebron isn't
going to own the Vegas team. He already owns the Lakers.
Bend the knee and spreads your cheeks, so you like
getting nailed by the king. Here we go, that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Did you ever think you'd be selling ceramics for Marongo
Casino when you were working at your dad's restaurant as
a young kid. The answer is absolutely no, and did
not foresee that? Matt, You are right, it's Christmas Jones.
Licensed to Kill was Dalton's bond film with a very
young Benisio del Toro going through the cocaine crusher. The
(33:13):
world is not enough is Pierce Brosnan featuring Denise Richards
is a nuclear physicist named Christmas Jones. So that's my bat,
Timmy Dalton, Tim Dalton, Yeah, he I cannot believe I'm
saying this, but Matt Smith's rabbit hole actually checks out.
(33:37):
Smith got the call, Silver got the call from Clutch.
Silver called that woman. That woman got a brown bag
full of casino chips. Lebron got his duca Bronny and
Luca and lead this team at the twenty thirty five
with Lebron as head coach. Adam Silver is super deep.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
State Deep State Forever.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Hey, why don't you order the eight and do a
do rag underneath it, you pinhead.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
It's a good look for me, the do rag under
the cap.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
You guys are so harsh on Brownie. Twenty six percent
seems pretty good from the floor. What does he shoot
on his feet?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well done?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
All right, we'll be back. We got the fe report
and Don McLean still cut
