I hope nobody shows up with the ice cream Scooper,

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Chest he settled in.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
His chest is very soft.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
And you heard what Fable Rushing said. It was his fault.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh it must have been.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I said that was my fault.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
My legs are so big.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I was terrible.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
It was on me.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
He couldn't see the science. It's my legs are so
bold to say. And the Angels have kept it going.
They won their seventh in a row. Rallied from being
down against the A's up there in Sacramento.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
He got an.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Angel with you right now, just got here and.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
He's going to help the Halo honks quite excited. Is
there but a game under five hundred right now? At
twenty four and twenty five and start a series with
the Marlins at the Big eight.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I'll tell you what they're lining up at the lodge.
Everybody's getting getting a squeeze at the lodge. We might
even take advantage of this. Matt think at like two
o'clock on a Wednesday down in Anaheim, what do you say?
Following the Red Sox Wednesday loss to the Mets, veteran
pitcher Liam Hendricks shared of on social media that he

(04:13):
was being targeted with death threats. Hendrix, who earned the
loss in Wednesday's game, responded to alleged fans who were
sending him horrible and cruel messages after struggling against New
York City. Just an FYI. Threats against my life and
my wife's life are horrible and cruel. My wife, do
you need help? He said on his Instagram story. Leaving

(04:36):
comments and tell me to commit suicide and how you
wish I'd died of cancer is disgusting and vile. Maybe
you should take a step back and reevaluate your life's
purposes before hiding behind a screen attacking players and their
families for shame, losers for shame, for shame, for shame.
Hendricks added that he thinks he speaks for all players

(04:58):
who have had to deal with this in their careers
by saying enough is enough. Enough for this.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Hartman was way ahead of the curve.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
There, You're right.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
That was Steve Hartman responding to all the incoming he
was taking on Twitter enough for this.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
And then Sexy Stone has popped up and said, I
know mind when they say.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
This is the second big league pitcher in the last month, he's.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Been threatened with life. Yeah, hey, death circumstances.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well, you know, you got the sports gaming thing going.
People got the ten freaking prop parlay and one leg
FA opened up the Devil's Dan Matt. Indeed, they have
porn and gambling. You hold the mirror up to society
and it's an ugly reflection all the pitching and moaning
and pitching a fit.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
You're gonna go to price picks. Use the code go blue,
by the way, Go blue at price picks dot com.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
How dare you? How dare you grab our snout and
jam it into the carpet full of pea like that?
O dare you?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Let me pull my head out of the carpet here
and tell you that if Aaron Rodgers is gonna sign
with the Steelers, he better make his decisions soon. Steelers
owner Aren't Rooney the Second said today the team was
willing to wait a little while longer for Rogers to
join the club. So tired, tired of waiting? Tone of

(06:21):
waiting for.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
You new aiding, He's the hardest part.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Every day. It's one moriard.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Ticket and a snip.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
There are those defending Aaron Rodgers saying, let him take
his time. He's going through something in his personal life
right now. Just let him take his time and make
a decision. Okay, going through something personal.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Time, time time. See what's because of me? Clipper Center.
It eats the Zoobots. Has been named the All Defensive
second TVA should have been the Defensive Player of the
Year right. This is Zubat's first career All Defensive selection,

(07:08):
and he becomes just a fifth player in franchise history
to earn the honor, joining Kawhi Leonard, Pat Beverly, Chris
Paul and DeAndre Jordan. Zubats led the NBA in total
rebounds one thousand and ten, becoming just a force Clipper
to achieve this along with DeAndre Jordan, swin Nators and.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
The biggest shoulders in the history of the world and.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
A great Jerry curl Farmer, Petrosen money guest, Michael Kay.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I would like to point out all that being said,
he's not Mike Muscala. Give me a half season of
Mike Muscala over all these seasons of Zubats any day, agreed.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I mean, I'm no basketball expert, and you're the one
that did the three things Thursday to Day basketball, Senadel Smart,
but I'm gonna agree to disagree, Smart. Game two of
the Eastern Conference Finals is tomorrow in Madison Square Garden.
The mailbox heads are all my Knicks scripping. Oh my Nicks.
The Hicks took it to the Knicks. I can't believe

(08:10):
my Knicks melted down like that. Streets across Manhattan are
being temporarily co named after Knicks players to celebrate the
team's a lactrifying playoff run, as the franchise is said
to begin its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since two
thousand on Wednesday night at the Garden. All fifteen players
on your Knicks roster got the honor, with the street

(08:32):
assignments corresponding with their jersey numbers. West thirty second Street
has been named Carl Anthony town Square.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I'll meet you for coffee in Carl Anthony town Square.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Obviously, the Gay District and then Jalen Brunson number eleven.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
What do you mean. Obviously it goes around saying I
think you just got cocked by Jimmy Butler. I don't
think there was a gay there. I think Jimmy was.
That is what the rumor was. Jimmy just slept with
his lady.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
You should just watch some videosling brunts and Boulevard is
part of the Diddy crew like that. Keep scrolling, Matt
if you don't look like me, keep scrolling.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Jalen Brunson. Boulevard is wear more straight crowd heads. That's
at West eleventh Street and Seventh Avenue. That's where all
the short kings hang out.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, short King. The signs will remain up for the
rest of the team's playoff run as they seek to
win their first NBA title since nineteen seventy three.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
My knicks blew it. I can watch TV, I can
listen to the radio.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I think of Harvey Kaitel listening to the Dodger World
Series game in bat Lieutenant, Yeah and punching those Oh such.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
A terrible, horrible, awful, awesome movie.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
That's what we've done to society. The twelve team College
Football Playoff will move to a straight seating model this fall.
I wonder why rewarding the selection committees top four teams
in the top four seeds in the first round.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Mind you kidding meet Powell? You kidding me with this? Indiana?
You kidding me?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Rotten?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
The four highest rank conference champions earn the top four seeds,
regardless of where they're ranked. Now, independent Notre Dame is
eligible to also earn a first round by if the
Irish are ranked in the.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Top four, how would that makes sense?

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
And now that they don't have to play USC anymore,
much more likely that they'll find themselves in the top four,
you know, moving forward without that tough game on their schedule.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
All four team I'm not even going to address them.
All four teams that are in the first round by
the inaugural twelve team college football Playoff lost their first game.
The five highest rank conference champions will still be guaranteed
spots in the twelfth team field.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I heard I had to tune into Paul today after
the news broke, and I'm pleased to report that the
first caller as soon as I punched in, said Paul,
if I were them, I would have a play in
Imagine the week before the playoffs starts. She got four
se seed teams going head to head, the one advances,
that wins and the other one goes home. Tell me

(11:01):
who says No, Paul, everybody else, I'm managing Paul.

Speaker 1 (11:12):

We haven't talked to him since the Cooper Flag lottery pick.

(12:15):
He was in Chicago last weekend.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, doing a combine.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
That's right, And now we have the Conference finals raging.
He is the leading scorer in the history of the
PAC twelve. His statue in Lemon Park and Seam Valley
stands strong. He works for fan Duel Sports c AA,
Fox Sports, one of the Big ten network, the One
and only Don McLain on the Southern California Toyota Dealers

(12:41):
Celebrity Hotline, the baron of Box Canyon. Hello, Don, how
are you?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Sorry about last week? Guys got hung up on the man.
What's that freeway from downtown Chicago to O'Hare the ninety four? Yeah, disaster, Yeah,
that's construction. It's going to be done in thanks.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
They said that thirty years ago, Don.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Which doesn't help you in April or May well.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
How was it out there, Don? Other than the traffic
on the ninety four there?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
It was good. It was good.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
We have so many guys this year. It's you know,
some did well in certain areas, some guys shot it better,
some guys tested well, but overall, our entire group was good.
And as you mentioned, it was kind of fun being
out there. We actually worked out about forty five minutes
after that lottery happened, So it was kind of fun
that the whole Flagg family was there, and so they
came to the gym and it's kind of fun to

(13:34):
see their reaction and what happened, and so, yeah, it
was a good week.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
You've been.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
You've told us about these guys becoming superstars. Before they
become superstars, you recognize something in them when you're working out,
and whether it's Paul George or Shay Gilgess, Alexander Tyrese Halliburton.
But with Cooper Flagg, if I were to tell you, hey,
Luka doncic for Cooper Flag, I mean, that's essentially what
they did. That's how they got in a lottery. Like

(14:00):
what are the Mavericks getting? How good is he compared
to a guy that you know was five first team
all Nbas. I mean it feels like this is sort
of one of those ones in a generation prospects.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, he is.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
But what's interesting is, you know, when Luca got drafted
by the Mavericks, it became his world because they weren't
very good and so he was allowed to be the
guy initially. I think one concern I have, and look,
he's not going to have the experience losing like most
number one picks to. But the one concern I have
is he's playing with Kyrie, He's playing with Anthony Davis,

(14:34):
So what does his role become. He's probably not going
to be the guy with those two on the team.
So are we going to see everything that Cooper flag
brings to the table. So it's one of those give
and take things where yeah, you're not going to, you know,
lose fifty games a year, but are you really going
to be able to establish yourself and do all the
things that I see that everyone saw last year at Duke.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
With a pretty good roster.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
That he's going to what separates him? Don you know?
Some guys come in like Steph and they can shoot
from thirty five feet and in other guys are great defenders.
You know, look at Thompson, He's a first team All
defensive player, which is crazy for a guy that's that young.
Just kind of what would you say is is what
he's that?

Speaker 1 (15:18):
You know?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
What makes him special? Is there a particular skill that
he has?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
It's his mental makeup?

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Matt He believes every time he's on the court, no
matter who's on the court, that he's the best player.
So it's a little bit and it's funny to say
with a guy that's got so much hype around him
going to be the number one pick. But there is
some irrational confidence in Cooper flag But it works for him.
You know, he just he believes and you know his measurables,

(15:45):
the long arms really help him. It's one of those
things where he doesn't have any holes in his game.
The shooting has gotten a lot better than what a
lot of people, including me I saw him last summer.
I thought that would be an area of concern. It
wasn't at Duke and it continues not to be. When
you evaluate him. There's just nothing that he doesn't do

(16:05):
well or really well. And then you put on top
of that confidence I'm talking about, then you put on
top of that that the guys the best teammate anyone seen.
And I asked, so I've like ten rebounders that help me.
These guys that are in college or just out of college,
high school guys that all want to help out. And
so I do it for when I start talking to
these teams here pretty soon. I ask them a lot

(16:27):
of questions because they talk to him more than I do,
like after the workouts, over whatever, and I one of
the questions I ask is who's.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Your favorite guy?

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Not your favorite player, because it's obvious Cooper is the
best player out here, but who is your favorite guy
to be around? Who's the best to interact with in
all of them? Cooper flag Wow? And so you put
all that stuff together and it's just like, there's no
way that this guy isn't going to figure out how
to be a at minimum a multi time All star, the.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
One at only Don McClain hero the most, and especially
our show, we love talking to him. Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Don you ever seen the movie teen Wolf?

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:06):
But I don't remember it. I don't remember anything anymore,
but I know the movie all right.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, let me just run a scenario.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
You understand the premise of Team Wolf.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Though, I think.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
So, guy's a teenager and he turns into it he's
a were wolf, right, yeah, And he's playing he's playing
high level high school basketball. He gets well as a team,
and then and then there's a scrum like a jump ball,
and he he Wolf's out turns into a Wolf dribbles
down the court, does it like a double pump flying

(17:37):
dunk from the free throw line, and the ref claps
claps his hands and sayles plan keep playing, And then
a montage ensues with a teen Wolves just dominating.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Uh, you know, as a great basketball player who didn't
want to back down to anybody, you know, especially at
the high school level, with a I don't want to
say irrational confidence, but a great deal of confidence. What
do you do if a guy Wolf's out like that
and the ref says we're going to play? Do you leave?
Do you?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I mean, when you run for your life? Are aren't
you freaked out a tiny bit?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
How would the other pioneers handle it? If you think
like I mean, honestly.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
I would have told our power forward that average two
points a game and we could we could withstand his
five fouls just to take him out.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
I don't know if you can.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know if you could take a wolf. Wolf's
gonna kill you.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Like he can jump.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
You know what's funny about the fact that you brought
that up? He and I had at first, I'm like what,
but he kept going, So Danny Wolf's here every time.
Danny Wolf makes a three Cooper flag burst into a
wolf house.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Every time.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Well, I think you guys like some real camaraderie. You've
got a lot of guys that might not be easy
to reach out to every single guy. Good idea for
camaraderie with your group this year, Don, get them all
together and screen team Woh, no doubt. I mean, what
a moment.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, yeah, a great idea.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Thanks, Don. Are you overall enjoying the conference finals? Everybody's
got such a Twitter patient Nick Fever, the media and
New York City and there's not really that much else
to celebrate. But do you find it intriguing?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
I do, and I think because there's no clear favorite,
I think Oklahoma City is kind of slowly becoming the favorite.
But coming into these playoffs, I don't think anybody thought that,
you know, there was one team that was gonna dominate
these playoffs, and so that's what I always hope for.
And maybe I'm different, but I'm just looking for competitive games,
competitive series, and it's been that for sure. That game

(19:42):
last night was unreal.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, game was incredible because of your guy, Tyrese Alibert,
and he does it again. I don't know if I've
ever seen somebody make so many freaking clutch shots in
the playoffs this early in his career. Don What is
it that he's got in him that leads to the
I don't know if it's ice in his veins, if
it's whatever. The stakes are the highest, he has just
pinpoint focus. But like, truly, I can you remember anybody

(20:08):
making this many shots?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
No?

Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, But it goes back to a little bit what
I was saying with Cooper. I mean, he's he's Tyreez
is a very very confident guy and confident player and
so and look throughout time, at whatever level of basketball
or any sport, there's guys that like that stuff, and
then there's also really good players that don't like that stuff.
They don't like the game being on the line and

(20:32):
they got to make a shot. And you know, we're
seeing it some I hate to say, and I'm not
going to name names, but with our group this year,
that they shoot it incredibly in our gym when we're here,
and then we go to Chicago and they don't shoot
it as good. We had our pro day yesterday at
the Lakers facility, guys didn't shoot it as well. Because
it's different and there's people watching, and it's you know,

(20:54):
some guys like it and some guys don't. And I
think Caliberton's is one of those guys that doesn't mind
the pressure, don't mind the lights, and usually delivers.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Don McClain is our guest. The OKAC was down to
the Nuggets. Last time we talked to down and he
said he believes okay See is the cream of the
crop and will rise to the top in the West.
Do you still feel like that after watching the Minnesota
game one? Do you think Minnesota could make a fun
series out of this?

Speaker 5 (21:25):
I think they can. I think Oklahoma City is gonna
win it. Their depth just wears you down. And that's
the one thing about that New York Indiana series. But
I think it showed last night that if Tims is
only going to play seven guys, I don't think there's
any way that they can win the series because this
deep into the season, you know, these games are physical.
The officiating has been terrific letting them play, and you

(21:47):
play seven guys, man, you're just gonna get worn down.
And I think that's gonna happen in that next series.
But the reason I'm saying that is Oklahoma City's got
tremendous depth, and so not only to withstand and the
physicality and long games in long, long series, but if
things happen, hopefully guys don't get hurt, but foul trouble
and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
So it matters.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
Depth at this point of the season really matters, and
I think Oklahoma City's got the best depth.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
He's Uh, I'm not saying this facetiously or being a
prisoner of the moment, but just watching the range of
guys he's defended and how well he's done. Is Alex
Caruso the best defender in the NBA right now?

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I mean just like, yeah, everything that they've thrown at
him and who they've asked him to guard, and the
job that he's done. I'm just in this postseason, I
guess I should say yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Yeah, I would say yes, he's been the best defender
individual defender this in this postseason because of his ability
to you know, play defend multiple positions in multiple guys.
There's not a lot of guys that can stand up
big guys like Jokic but also then guard you know,
somebody else guard and so his his his flexibility and

(22:58):
his versatility to defensively, it really stood out for sure last.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
One for me.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Don I was able to do the research here in
the moment, Don McClain comes on, tells us about a
guy who's working out, they go on to superstardom, and
yet somehow they last until Paul George the tenth pick,
Shay Gilgess, Alexander the eleventh pick, Tyrese Haliburton the twelfth pick,
and Donovan Mitchell the thirteenth pick. What is wrong with
these general managers?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
We'll forget Devin Booker thirteenth pick.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Devin Booker thirteenth pick. What's wrong with these guys?

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, look, this evaluation of players is hard, and it's become,
I believe, even harder because of all the analytical data
they have in front of them. And it's almost like
it's like, you, guys, ever read Malcolm Gladwell's Blink? Essentially
your first instinct is the right one, And I think
that these guys get so overwhelmed with information that they
forget what their first instinct is. And the other part

(23:54):
of it is what was their role in college? You know,
there's a lot of players that get to me that
do way more than you saw in college. Because it
wasn't their role, and so they're way better than what
they showed in college, even if they were highly regarded.
Guy like Devin Booker, but Devin Booker at Kentucky was
because that team was so good, was literally just a

(24:14):
catch and shoot guy. Nobody knew that he could get
stuff off the bounce and get the spots and that
he was a scorer not just a shooter.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
And so they get.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Fooled by that by what guys did in college and
what their role was and what scheme they played, how
did they play offense? And so I think that's the
biggest reason why NBA teams miss on guys that become superstars.
And the other thing is is what team are they
going to, what's their role going to be there? And
some guys just step into a play like Donovan Mitchell.

(24:43):
You know, he was the thirteenth pick and he went
to a team with a lot of guards.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Well, exhem got hurt.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
I forget who the other two guys were, and all
of a sudden, he was starting and the rest is history.
So a little bit of it is luck if those
guys don't get hurt and his role isn't what it
was right.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
At the beginning.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
Utah, who knows. I'm pretty sure he still becomes a
really good player. It might have taken a little bit longer,
but it's kind of all that put together. Why why
guys have become really good players get drafted later than
they should have.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I didn't know that shay Gi gil Jess Alexander.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Neither did Matt.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I guess that he was so floppy. No, you got
all floppy in that game.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Floppy and boppy. Is this something you were aware of?
I mean, you weren't aware of Tea Wolves.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Well, I hate to say it, but it's starting to
look a lot like Harden four or five years ago,
where literally all he's trying to do is get fouled
every time. And you know, I get it, but the
officials had been better than that. I don't know why
he's still allowed to snap his head back and get
all those calls that he's getting. But like I said earlier,
the officiating in the playoffs has been great because they've

(25:47):
been letting them play. But for whatever reason, Sga is
still getting to the foul line way too much.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Start getting to look a lot like Harden. Every trime
you drive a lane all right, we love you, Don,
We're gonna win in the end, have a great night
and appreciate There he goes Don McLean in the end,
feeling like a winner.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
One n Don is all wolf.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
If Michael J.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Fox went back to being just the regular kid, he'd
probably kick him.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Off the court.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Well, Don's the a hole with the chest and the hair,
I mean, with the with the curly hair. I mean,
Don's the guy that would stand and stare down box
like you're kidding me right now? That guy had no
mid range? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (26:29):
But he was in the storyline, he was the best
player care no mid range, and you know he's like,
the hell is going on? Like just the disbelief, the
dismissiveness of that guy, like this is really happening right there. Well,
I mean at first he's like, Okay, we're dominant. Look
at my chest, right, there's my hot chick. This guy's
a nerd. And then he becomes a wolf and he

(26:51):
kind of tolerates that. It seems like the rest of
the league, which is my question he played with this
my ultimate question as to why that's even tolerating people
just run out of the gyrum exactly. I mean, there
is no bylaws for the league about an anthropomorphic freak
on the court. I understand in the same way people

(27:13):
look at Johnny Lawrence and say, man Macio showed up
and really made things hard on Johnny. Sure he might
have had a volatile relationship with Ali, but who doesn't
have a volatile relationship in high school?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
You know, when you're cool and you're a Cobra Kai
and you got a scooter, you didn't get the sense
they were picking on anybody else. You know, it's just
Machio because he took his girl, right, that's the Cobra
kaid just.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
I understand that that angle and then the other like
you know, when it comes to the hairy chested guy
played for the Dragons and teen Wolf, my thought is,
I mean, this guy had it all going and then
all of a sudden some guy becomes a wolf. It's
not even fair. And then he decides not to be
the wolf in the championship game like the end of
Angels in the outfield and loses.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Anyway, you did that on your own. There's a wolf
with you right now, just got here. What do you
think the wolf would get in the portal?

Speaker 1 (28:06):
He's gonna help Oh the wolf.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I mean, well again, what are the bylaws?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I know we have wolf can play? What if they
won't let the wolf play? And he tries to go
like Joana Man to see if they let him in
the wn be.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
They're not checking for your junk. You're a wolf. It's
covered with hair.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's monster bush interesting, right, something to think about? And wolf?
What are the pronouns on a wolf? Coming up? Next? Dead?
And a live guy?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Birthday of the Day. And then we'll pass it off
to off day Dodger Talk.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
It's cracking everybody, and welcome back to Petro sand Money
Show on m five seventy LA Sports Happen to be

(29:30):
Local Original great and Matt, you got the dead guy
Birthday of the Day on this fine.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Day, indeed, celebrating what would have been his sixty seventh
This week is Christian Winn oh Dja Christian Odje, the
man behind two of the hottest of hot and the
moment turned into the douchiest of douche. After the moment
time born in France, started working in fashion fifteen blue

(30:02):
jeans were his calling card. McKeon hired him and he
became one of their main dudes in Denham. They moved
him to New York and before you know it, oh
DJ is a gun for hire. This gun's for you.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Like Norm Chow. After he got fired from BYU.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, Guests, LEVI, i'ce, diesel X XEL all hired him
to revamp their Denham designs. But he wanted more, a
lot more. He wanted Christian Audege to be in the
same conversation as Christian Dior and Georgio Armani and Gianni VERSACEI.

(30:45):
I can't say he accomplished that, Matt, No, he did not,
but he did connect with Ed Boss.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Kind of reminds me of that guy that made that
movie that uh James Franco made fun of you know
that wh Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Love Ed Boswell was the guy that bought the rest
to Von Dutch after Kenny Howard's death from his family.
Kenny was Dutch Von Dutch, some big money guy, a
little bit of a muscle guy too, Sorenson.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
We're talking about the nineties, a lot of bustley guys
and these Christian Nays a lot of affliction too.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
He was funding it, this guy Pawnie, and he says,
I want out of Jay, and then you know, Christian
knocked it out. Two thousand and two. He became the
lead designer. He comes up with the trucker hat, said
he was inspired by Marlon Brando's cap from The Wild One.
He met with and closed Britney Spears to wear the brand,
and when she and Timberlake broke up and it became

(31:41):
the biggest story in pop culture, the pair happened to
be on People Magazine, each of them donning the Von
Dutch Trucker caps. Next thing you know, Paris Hilton Cutcher
low hand all wearing the one hat. Kutcher was the
real driver of the brand. He was as Douche Dutch
as there was a Dutch, but within a couple of

(32:01):
years Van Dutch van Dutch became Von Douche, Von Douche,
Van Douche van Douche exactly, and it was all von Douche,
no biggie. Though Audijay connected with ed Hardy, licensed the
worldwide rights to his brand, I know, like minus for Douchiness.
He brought over the entire Von Dutch marketing team, all

(32:22):
of his celebrity clients. Sarah Larson became famous through it
and became the face of the brand. It took off immediately.
By twenty oh nine, he's pumping out seven hundred million
dollars in gross revenues and then Douche collapse within two years.
According to ed Hardy himself, what happened.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Ed Hardy the tattoo artists, he really had nothing to
do with douche Iness at all.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
He blamed it on the marketing decisions by Audijer trying
to make it his brand. He said. Audijer started to
feature his own name prominently on ed Hardy items for
no reason, like his signature would just be all over
the shirts and why not?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Hell is this?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
They also said the downfall could because he did.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I mean, I mean not ninety.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
He He also made a bad deal. He thought he
was going to get all Brittany with John Goslin of
John and Kate plus eight and Dawson became kind of
like the guys right, and it fell apart.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
I love this reality. Guys married in this weird Karen.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
They got eight kids, sex stuplans, it's going to be amazing.
When that failed, he tried to get it going with
wine the mont Peeru estate wrapped in ed Hardy labels
because he still owned Yeah, ed Hardy perfumes. He opened
the nightclub Pure at Treasure Island. I mean it's just

(33:46):
a douche is douche guess. He lived twenty eleven. After
trying for a couple of years to get him out,
they finally got him to sell four kids, lived in
mid Wiltshire. Sadly he died young cancer.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Christian Otaja is no longer with us.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
No Henson being the dead guy today. Sadly, Oh that's right, July,
I know he's young.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Just some swollen dudes.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Hey, man, can you just get out of my brand?
Maybe I will start a line of wines with it.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
No, I mean whatever, why not. I mean, once you
go with the once you've turned to the guy from
John and Kate plus.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Eight, he will launch the brand.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Like you probably are. You probably lost the thread right
like you did it with Brittany over there with Von Dutch.
What do you got for me here, Christian John Ghostlin. Yeah,
I mean it's like a fourteen year old that everybody
wants to be with, as opposed to like a weird
dude that getting controlled by some Karen. It's not really

(34:47):
the same.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
But you know, he could drive the hell out of
that sprinter van. I mean drive the hell out of
that sprinter van. Before sprinter vans became a thing, our
man John Goslin was piloting that rig with all them
kids in the back well.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
There is no doubt. No. Today we celebrate Nick Cassavetes
