where there's like eighteen teams but only fifteen make the tournament.

(01:13):
That's nasty work right there. That's there's a lot of
people in the Big ten. Yeah, and really they should
just take the Big Ten logo off the Big Ten

You don't think it's exciting, I'm saying what like, of course,
but they have a lot of Japanese guys on the team. George,
would you rather they go play somewhere else?

Speaker 5 (01:52):
No, they're exactly where they should be.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Two Japanese starters back to back nights.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Cannot wait until this season, dude, because okay, so if

with bullpinning the whole damn playoffs. Now when when they

make sure that he's healthy, well, I'm just saying just
to just to make sure that he is healthy come

(02:33):
the postseason and he doesn't even have to be one
of your top guys. Your best player doesn't have to
be one of your top guys. That is amazing, and
it is always a joy. It is always a joy
to see Molky Bets regularly because I get a chance
to see him regularly and he's a very nice guy.
Oh really, were when you live next door to you

(02:55):

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Cool? Great, you got Boogie Bets at your school. I
got a Dodger fan teacher who needs tickets flex tomorrow
because UCLA's on a eleven thirty. So how long does
a college basketball game take? Two and a half hours? Yeah,
so two and a half and it'll go till two
and then there's like an hour post game. So we'll

(03:23):
start at three, and then pregame for Clippers is at
three thirty. So I'll be on for just a little
sliver of time tomorrow. But that's okay. We're still gonna
do great sports, great sports till it'll be something out
there for you guys. To podcast. Okay, it is now
time for the final hour. Fun fact. I researched something
for you and I made it sports related, George, because

(03:44):
I know.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Fun in effect.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, we're three.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Fun fact. Did you know that drafted the same year
out of the PAC ten. I think it was the
Pac ten then Yeah. Twenty eleven the NBA draft, Clay
Thompson was drafted eleventh from Washington State. From Washington States,
Nikola Vujovich was drafted sixteenth in the same draft out

(04:13):
of USC Nikolavovich I did not know Vuzvich went to US.
He scored more points in his career in the NBA
than Klay Thompson. No way, are you kidding me? That's right?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Gohead, Well, Clay did miss like two full years, so
I mean, I'm just saying, so, just out there, ball
it got It's got to be close.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's got to be close.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
He's outscored Clay and he's still going. And Clay is
at the end of his rope. Nikolajevitch forever to the
end of the road.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
He should have came to the Lakers. No, Clay, lay
Well didn't work out. Time for quick gets everybody something
ms quick come make it quick, y'all. Wow, the Dodgers
have arrived in Tokyo a player only owner sushi dinner

(05:12):
provided by Otani, Yamamoto and Sasaki. Do you know how
good that probably is? Why? Just because it's in Japan,
we're not the same motion? No, what is the point is?
Is that?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Is that sushi? That is a native food? There? Oh
my god, I wasn't even looking out I'm looking out
the window. Wow, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think that's looking towards Japan.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
So I'm saying, is that imagine the links that they
are going to go to. Yes, he's gonna get the
freshest of the fresh, the the just They're probably gonna
bring in the top chefs from the entire world, the
entire country, and bring them in to make sure that
him and the Dodgers have the best sushi experience, the

(06:03):
best omakase experience that they ever had in their life.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
You ever eat o makase? I don't even know what
it is. I had a ramen last night from where
I don't rowe ramen. I don't know, No, I don't
q row. I don't know what do you want from me? Wait? Wait?
What are you acting like? Kil bill.

Speaker 5 (06:24):

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Right, well let me go back to the door dash
and look what I got.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, see, I'm a I'm an authentic ramen guy.
Don't don't give me your little mumbo jumbo.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
No, I want it.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
If it ain't if it ain't boiled at least if
the broth didn't take sixteen to eighteen hours to make,
I don't want it.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Cole Reu Ramen. There's a few of them in Torrance,
which has the largest Japanese population outside of Peru. Did
you make that up?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
No, he said, outside of Peru. Peru has a gigantic Yeah,
and so does Brazil.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh but hey, omase. They will have two exhibition games
over the weekend versus Japanese teams. They take on the
Cups on Tuesday morning, three am. Here on AF five
seventy LA Sports. Everybody's got a romin place that's better
than your place. God, all I wanted was to please
my daughter. George.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Oh wow, so there are twenty This is a fact
coming from Peyton.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, this isn't cool. You break your own researcher.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
In here twenty two thousand, five and thirty four self
reported Japanese Peruvians.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
That's a grip. Yes, Tampa Bay Rays, now look up Torrents.
The Tampa Bay Rays are playing this season at the
Yankees spring training complex, with damage to the Tropic Cannonfield
is being fixed, including a new roof raised. Ownership announced
today that the team will not pursue a new stadium
in Saint Petersburg, but instead will return to the death

(07:58):
trap that is Traupic Canaf when it is ready to
play in again. But have you ever been to Tampa? Yes? Oh, yeah,
because you played in Jackson. Yeah, I've never been out there.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And I've been to Bush Gardens has one of the
best one of the best roller coasters is called Cheetah.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Have you ever been to tarp And Springs? No, that
has the very large Greek population, largest Greek population in
the United States of America.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Okay, now we're speaking of that. About fifteen percent of
the population of Torrance has Japanese heritage. See, this is
what happens when you bring your researcher to work with you.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
But I told you already that Torrance had a big
like I told you that.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Everything we fact check around around here. I want listen, listen.
I had a producer tell me something once that and
I and I parroted it and it was a bad Oh.
I had a guy walk me off a cliff in
a football game Syracuse un LV. This she walked me
right off a cliff. I got like a tweet from

(09:01):
Brady Poppinga like that's wrong, and I was like, I
know it's wrong. Oh, I guarantee that clip was not
worse than the clip I walked off of.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Not radio, I was on National TV. Yes, I was
on Wait, Wait, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
This was so bad that I got a a call.
So I was working at a local radio station. I
got a call from ESPN. I had never even worked
at ESPN. Okay, So one one of my heroes, just
a guy that I loved, was Stuart Scott, right, so

(09:37):
he had already so he had already done the uh,
you know, the u V the V Foundation thing, like
you knew. He was saying, you knew it was bad,
and and he says in my ear, George, Stuart Scott
just got moved to hospice and and you know, they
don't expect me to live.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And I was like devastated, devastated. I am on air.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
I am at KFWB here in La on the on
the at that point, The Beast nine eighty so, and
I'm there and I'm talking and I was doing a
solo show that day because Brett winterber out for some reason.
So I said it on air. I was like, man,
I just got some news. Blah blah blah. I'm super devastated.

(10:21):
Next thing I know, I'm getting texts, emails and everything
from people at ESPN.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
They're like, where did you find this out? Blah blah
blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
So now I'm like freaking out, like damn, I'm never
going to work again in this industry because it's twenty
fifteen and I'm just getting started. And so with either
twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen, and I'm just getting getting started,
and I'm like, oh, well, my career is over.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
And turns out like a week later, he was moved
to hospice.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
So somebody told you he was going to die before
they had told everybody that.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
He was going to die. Yeah, and you said it
on the air. Yeah, And how did you know? Because
the producer and how did he know? I have no idea,
but but it turned out that he would say some
things that weren't necessarily true, so we ended up calling
him that's good soor so oh good, So he did
so we gave him the nickname sourcos I love if.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Guy says something to you don't know if you can
believe it or.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Not, yes, so then I never I would just if
he said anything to me. It was always like, uh,
let me, let me fact check this first.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Bill Belichick just got the Raider jump. The Clippers are
in Atlanta tomorrow to take on the Hawks four thirty
tip off on a FI seventy. We talked about that
our friend Paul George from Palmdale is consulting with doctors
this week on treatment options for his groin and knee injuries,
including a possible procedure. The decision is expected early next

(11:45):
week as George meets with his doctors to finalize the
best route. PG has played through groin, finger, and knee
ailments this season, a lot of injuries over the last month.
According to sources, he took some injections for five consecutive
games for the start breaking February. Poor Paul George, Yes,
he had to quit the podcast. Mark Gastino has found

(12:07):
a lawsuit against ESPN over the airing of a clip
from that twenty twenty three sports Memorabilia show where he
confronted Brett Favre about the Michael Strahan sack. Why give
me my sack back? Why? Because he wants damages. He
claims the clip of the encounter that went viral and
later appeared in the ESPN Doctor Memory Menory the New
York Sack Exchange UH was included without Gastono's consent or permission,

(12:33):
and since then he has been attacked on social media
with ridicule, scorn, and contempt five million dollars.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
He shouldn't have went, He shouldn't give me.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
My sack back.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
How I want it is the silliest things. Oh give
me my sack back. Well, like like we're in a
hot tub time machine. We're not in a hot tub time machine.
He can't go give it, give it back my sack back.
What you did to me is worse than ojou.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Nobody did anything.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Do you understand? So I've never met Mark Gastnoble. What
I do know is Mark Gastino is one of the
least like people around.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I want my shack back.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
He can want it back all he want what wants
to You can wish in one hand and do something
in the other one and see which one feels up.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
But right now it is time for our number one guy,
especially this time of year, the Great Don McLain on
the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
He is working with the Big ten Network. Saw him
on the desk today looking good with that big ten
acre guy with you know, the anchor of the Big
ten Network, who's got the sloping nose like the real
ski slope. That guy, he's really good and he was
with McClain today. The leading score in the history of
UCLA basketball. His statue stands in Lemon Park in Beautiful

(15:07):
Seame Valley and he joins us now on the Petrosen
Money Show. What's cracking?

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Don?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
How are you out there?

Speaker 4 (15:13):
How's it going?

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Pee? Yeah, we had a good day.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
I only had to do half the day to day,
so we had the first two games Oregon one and
Wisconsin one, setting up a really good morning tomorrow of
UCLA Wisconsin, Oregon, Michigan State so two really good games,
good energy in the building, which I knew it would be.
I'd heard that, And with Indiana playing the first game
of the day, you got things got things going early.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Don I mean, like George and me, you're a West
Coast guy, a guy that came up and the old
PAC ten and then PAC twelve, and this is, I believe,
your very first Big ten tournament. What is your vibe?
And it feels like the West Coast teams in basketball
are holding their own pretty well out there.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
They are, you know, it's you know, the Big Ten
obviously with the PAC twelve going away, and I sense
this throughout the year, not in a bad way necessarily,
but just that the Big ten was superior to the
PAC twelve. But I'll tell you being here today now
it may change tomorrow and over the weekend, but the
energy in t Mobile Arena for the PAC twelve tournament

(16:18):
was every bit the same as it was here today
because and that's not to say the Big Ten wasn't good.
It's to say that the PAC twelve energy was just
as good. So not that much difference, just in a
different part of the country with different teams.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
When we look at teams that can actually win a
national championship, Like not even just make the Sweet sixteen
or Elite eight. How many teams and who are they
in the Big Ten that we should be looking at
and penciling in as literally a team that could cut
down the nets.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, here's the.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Thing, George, that's hard because the one thing that's been
great about the Big Ten this year is there hasn't
been a dominant team like Purdue was Zach Eaty the
last couple of years. They won the league going away
and they got to the championship game last year. The
Big Ten is more like strengthen numbers. And we were
saying today how Oregon's the eighth seed in this tournament
and they could win this tournament. So it's kind of

(17:09):
hard to predict like who could make a run and
go all the way to the final four and win
a national championship just because no teams are that highly rated.
Michigan State won the regular season and they're probably going
to be a two seed. Now, that doesn't mean they
can't win a national championship. But I guess what I'm
saying is there's been so much parody in this league

(17:29):
and so many good teams it's kind of hard to identify. Okay,
that's the team that's going to make the run and
win the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Don McClaine live on The Pettersen Money Show. You see
him on Fan Duel Sports. You also see him on
the Big Ten Network, especially this week for the Great
Big Ten Basketball Tournament. Don McClain's first.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
We remember the old PAC ten Tournament in the vacuous
Staples Center where Don McClain would be out there on
TV with Ernie Kent, and Ernie Kent would be staring
daggers into the camera like he's gonna kill somebody on
the other end.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I remember erniebody.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Because I used to hoop with them all the time
when I was up there with you know, Luke and Luke,
Luke Ridnaard and Luke Jackson, Freddy Jones, Real Oregon Legends
of Scales and Brian Bracy coming out of Yeah, man,
do you remember Ernie kids?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Stanny p about that?

Speaker 4 (18:23):
So you know what's funny about that you mentioning that,
is that the minute the Pac ten Tournament became the
Pac twelve Tournament and they went straight to Vegas, was
the minute it was full for every game, And so
all these Big ten people are telling me, I've heard
it since I got here, how great it is. Indianapolis
is like the perfect spot to have the Big SID
tournament and all this stuff. Well, and I keep saying, well, Okay,

(18:46):
in three years they're They're the Big ten tournament's going
to be in Vegas. I'm like, wait till it gets
to Vegas and then you tell me that it's the
best place to have it is Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Can you see LA make a real run here? Don
without like a bona fide star, like I remember that
last Final four run they made. You know, you gotta
Heimie Hokas, you got Johnny Jusang. What can they do
this year? Do you mar Bailey? Do you think they
can pull somebody out?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
I think they can. I think things have to go right.
I think Mara's gonna have to continue to be a
big factor for them because all these teams in the
Big ten or Big I think they can for sure
make a run in this tournament. And then once you
get to the NCAA tournament, it's hard to say because
it's all matchups. And I've said that for years that
if you have a good draw and the matchups are correct.
You can make a run, and you see Ali is

(19:32):
certainly good enough to do that.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Is there a possibility to see some of that musclem
in magic coming out of the Big Ten Tournament and
USC having one of those upset years and finding a
way to get to steal a bid from somebody.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
The problem, George is, and we've talked about that in
the PAC twelve for years, it's only been a couple
of times where a team has won four games in
four days and won the whole thing. Colorado did it
in the first year, Oregon did it five or six
years ago with Peyton Pritchard. The problem for USC is
they got to win five because they only they didn't
have to buy, So they have to win five games

(20:09):
in a row in five days to actually steal the bid.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well, well, I guess.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
There's gonna be no muscleman magic in George. Don McClain
in Indianapolis having the time of his life, not quite
like Vegas, but he's still having a good time.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Kids, don't worry about it. To the NBA real quick Ton,
Things have really changed for the Lakers since the last
time we talked. Lebron got hurt and uh Luca looks
a little slower as they're on the road, a little
bit tired. They lost to the nets when they weren't
supposed to. They got the Milwaukee box tonight. Overall, do
you think they'll be able to sustain and kind of

(20:46):
maintain through Lebron's injury and create some excitement again like
they did the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Well, it's just hard, p because you're you're trying to
incorporate Luke and then Lebron gets hurt, so now it's
a whole different game. It's a whole different thing you're trying.
I'd incorporate Luka on. Does that mean they can't? Look,
they're in a good position in the West, but it
is imperative if the Lakers are going to make a
run in the playoffs, for Lebron to get back, and
preferably get back before the regular season ends so that

(21:14):
he and Luca can continue to evolve together on that
team before the playoffs start.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yeah, and how much can you say that that JJ
Reddick in his rookie coaching debut, really for his inaugural season,
how would you judge the job that he's done compared
to you know what the roster looked like on paper.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
I think he's done an unbelievable job. I really do.
With all the pressure and all the scrutiny that the
Lakers get having Lebron on your team, you know, it
didn't start out great, and it looked like it was
going to be the same old Lakers we've seen the
last four or five years. But he's gotten them to
buy in. And I've said this a million times on
this show. Head coach's job is to get guys to

(21:57):
play hard and play together, and he's seemingly has done that.
But it doesn't work without Lebron. It just doesn't. And
you could say if Lebron was on any team in
the league, it wouldn't it'd be the same thing. And
so I think overall he's gotten that culture headed in
the right direction, playing the right way, playing hard, and
I think if they get Lebron back, I think you

(22:19):
know they are going to make a run in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Clippers seem to have kind of settled down and figured
some things out. Do you think they're kind of over
that loll that they had there?

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I hope, So you know, they're they're in the playing
right now and they're gonna You know, that's a hard road.
Anything can happen. You know what if the wrong guy
gets hurt in that playing game and all of a
sudden you don't win and your season's over. So I
don't know if they have enough and enough time to
get back into the top six. So they're not in
the play in but at least they're back to winning
games now.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Don McClain back to work, Big ten Tournament, Big ten Network,
doing great work in his very first Big ten tournament.
Who said you can't teach an old dog. Wait till
they get to wait till they get a load of
your pool party out in Vegas. Don, They're gonna blow
their minds, blow their minds.

I didn't have a little luck. Yeah, I didn't have a
clue what this was, dude, because I was out here
and all I knew.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Was going to learn about some science I knew. No,
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
I knew about the Baptist church that we went to
and Jehovah's witnesses.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
That was it.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Then we came out here and I was like, what
what what is this place? And hey, we're basically like,
listen the uh, the devil lives in there. Don't go
in wait, Oh, you can't say that, George. When we
used to do advertising, I said, that's what they said.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
We used to do. We used to have scientology dot
org here, we used to uh, you know, to learn
new things.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Hey, I said that that's that's that's what they said.
A lot of people said it, though.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
No thoughts on al Ron Hubbard beyond that you know
about him at all.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Pretty weird of course, being on a boat, a boat, dude,
I watched or like three documentary there you got, uh, well,
the We're gonna do jazz today. Roy Haynes would have
been one hundred years old today. He just died last
November at ninety nine. He would have been one hundred
years old A day. Didn't make it, you failed.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
No, I think he was pretty accomplished jazz drummer from Boston,
a Barbadian family. In the forties, George, he became a professional,
hooked up with Lester Young and then Charlie Parker, Bud Powell,
and Stan Getz Sarah vaugh. Yes, George, that puts Roy
Haynes at ground zero for cool jazz, beat bop standards, fusion,

(26:28):
avant garde jazz, A real superstar of jazz drumming. No,
I know you think jazz was just that canneloop song
from Diggable Planets.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
When I was young and I wanted to be Kenny
g and I was just so when I was out,
I was just out in North Caro, Carolina, and then
I was talking to a guy. I was talking to
my one of my good friends, his father in Law
played with Kenny G and some of these other guys.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I had no idea and I.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Mentioned it and he was like, well, Kenny G was
not the original on the soprano sex phone. So he
gave me a thing and I was like, yeah, my
dad used to listen to smooth jazz radio with us,
and he was like, oh my god, smooth jazz and
he was talking about the guy who originated that term,
and he immediately regretted it.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
He was like, we should not be calling jazz smooth jazz.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
No, yeah, Jerry Mulligan. Yeah. See you think I'm stupid?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
No, no, no, I can think. I can think that
you are a phone of friends. He was a member
of John Coltrane's quartet in the sixties. That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
He was given the nickname snap Crackle for his distinctive
sounding snare drum wide musical vocabulary. George even all the
way to smooth jazz, smooth remember the wave, Yes with
the seahorn.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Ninety four point seven, but.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
This guy really could do it all. Also awarded one
of America's Best Dressed Men in nineteen sixty.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Okay, that means you're winning, I guess.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah. Countless awards honored all over the world Wherever they
Love Jazz, got a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys
and a few other Grammys in his lifetime, and of
course Modern Drummer Hall of Fame. His younger brother, Michael,
is famous for working closely with Doctor King in the
black community in the Northeast for years. Every year, I mean,

(28:31):
the guy who lived to be one hundred almost, they
celebrated his birthday at the Blue Note, very famous jazz
club in Greenwich Village on West Third. Have I been there? No,
I have not, Okay, so we haven't been any of the.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Courts Blue Note. Like when you say the word Blue Note,
I think Snoop Dogg.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, that's unfortunate. Blue Notes are really famous jazz label
as well.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
I'm saying because it's an interlude on and Doggie Style
where bow Wow is actually talking on it.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Little bow Wow. Yes at that point, Little Bowow, he
was tiny bow Wow at that point.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, And and he says, uh, yeah, he makes a
comment on there about the about Blue Note.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
But yeah, it's a jazz jazz thing.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
In two thousand and six, at the age of eighty three,
he was still voted best contemporary jazz drummer in the world.

voice of jazz modern radio on Grand Theft Auto for.

have gone in the line of fire, but he knew so.
