Assay is not doing Galla Talk fromthe gallup. No blue carpet vase,

(01:56):
no Vassay giggling with players, wives, Kershaw's being nice, Clayton's being an
a hole, none of that.That's always fun to listen to. Not
on the radio per se. Butif you check out the social media platforms,
David vass and social media Matt areout there. So Matt de Becky's
social media Matt is down there.Are they letting him bring his lovely wife
or is he just working? Heis just working, but Vassay gets to

(02:19):
bring Tessa. I'm assuming so Idon't know op for the social media path
as opposed to terrestrial radio, DodgerTalk for Dave Vassa. I think she
usually goes with Dave because Tessa,I don't know if she still is,
but she used to be a baseballfan, and I think she kind of
likes going out there and smelling thegrass. She's earned it, Oh,

(02:39):
there's no doubt about It's definitely earnedit. I mean they did their wedding
dance to talk in baseball exactly right, which was awkward to say the least.
I enjoyed it, yes, butyou enjoy those kinds of things.
Listen. It's important to note thatKate's will be on and Vassay is on
on the on the internet, yeah, okay, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,

(03:02):
TikTok, which all the kids areon today. So it's Gala Dodger
Talk Night at eight six six nineeight seven two five seventy. If you're
a communist, you need not callin eight six six, go to TikTok
nine eighty seven two five seventy.Other than that, we've got a lot
of basketball today as far as ourguests go. Don McClain is going to

(03:25):
come on early because of everything goingon. Yeah, so he's going to
come on early this week. Hedoes not prefer Thursday, but he prefers
it to a Monday. So we'llhave a maybe Swina Clippers play tomorrow at
six thirty, so a lot easierto get him today. Slightly ornery.
Perhaps Don McClain is here the lastnight, I would guess, so,
next segment, and then Yovanne Boja, who is a bit of a Lebron

(03:46):
propagandist. Matt Oh, I don'tknow if I would say propaganda. Well,
we'll talk to him if you tellme. He was part of the
triumpherant that posted the article in themiddle of the night following the Lakers elimination
surrounding Lebron's decision making and how that'sthe most important thing that's happening in basketball
right now with our friend Sam Amaking shams. Is that the most important
thing happened in basketball right now?Or clips? I guess in their world?

(04:11):
For us, no, timber Wolvesare still alive. That's right,
Matt. Come on, you've beendoing twelve minute stories every day on the
tea Wolves talking to ant Man sinceApril. That's right, you know,
And here we are it's gonna happenwith that ownership group. You want to
Taylor versus a Rod. You kiddingme? This is great stuff. You
want us to talk about Lebron.Well, I've got Lebron. I don't

(04:32):
want to be taken less seriously thanI already am, which is not seriously
at all. So I did aLebron story too today. Matt. It's
not long. What are you thinking, I'm gonna hit you? He just
said I'm gonna hit you with that. Lebron just said that Matt is at
the gala. You can't cash inon the AM five seventy LA Sports Graham

(04:53):
on their ig page with their Lebronstory. If Matt den Becky's going to
be out at the gala, you'vemissing out. Man. Maybe we can
should have done it a day earlier. You blew it. He could be
right. I couldn't maximize the potentialof my Lebron clicking story by doing the
story and then getting it out onthe GRAM. You're right, Matt.
Now maybe Kates can gain control ofthe GRAM because he's got access to it.

(05:16):
Now, don't go crazy. Kate'sis in a terrible mood. He
is, Yeah, you are allright, you should be in a terrible
mood. You had to do DodgerTalk last night and tonight. You got
stuck here last night, and missLeslie Kate's birthday. Happy, Happy birthday,
Leslie Kate's I said, birthday,Leslie, it was last night last
night, Oh son of a bitch. Kate spent most of the day trying
to buy her gift at the Americana. Dude instead he had something delivered from

(05:39):
Etsy and after all of that gota great deal. He found out he
has to do gala Dodger Talk tonightbecause is going to play with the team
and play with themselves and Vic thebrick I heard was spewing and sounding like
a fool, washing up Ed Sheerand then making a big thing out he
was yeah, he was, yeah, what he's headlining the gala? He's

(06:02):
ay, so the headlining? Whocares? He used to be into cool
music? Yeah, now you knew. It's talk about Taylor Swift and Ed's
Sheer and it's gross. What happenedto you? What happened to Lee Michaels?
Can I get a witness? Timehas come today? The animals,
Jesus Vick a little New Writers ofthe Purple Sage right, Flying Brothers exactly,

(06:29):
Peter Rowan. Instead we get edshearing and freaking Taylor Swift. What's
happened Vic? What happened to you? I'm just You're like Howard Stern.
You totally sold out. I'm enlightening. You know who's at the galla?

a sensational set as well. Who'sthe d amazing amazing? Have you ever

(06:54):
been invited to the galla? No, Kate's you're the host of Dodger Talk
and moronle Casino dot deck. Haveyou and your lovely wife Leslie Kate's ever
been invited to the Dodger gallup?Many times, Petros, we have not
been invited. So you're like,uh, You're like Joe Kits the other
night in the Laker Game five,you didn't miss a free throw because you

(07:14):
haven't attempted a free throw. Absolutely. Do you feel a little slided by
that? No, not at all. If I went, if I win,
I'd just be there taking up aseat. I wouldn't be somebody raising
a paddle to donate money. Youknow, right in a check you would
be like, Hey, there's TimKates, the host of Dodger Talk and
his lovely wife Leslie. That's awonderful ornament for any real Well, if

(07:34):
I can get her away from ChrisTaylor for two minutes, Oh god,
he's got to work on a swing. He's not, He's he's stuck it.
Hit last night again, hit lastnight, mantros. Sorry that was
a weak hit, weak ass floaterover the short stop. You're weak.
We'll take it, seet you threewill take it then, yeah, he
will, just like you'll take it. Vic, take it right on the

(07:56):
chin. Have you ever been tothis down? Have you ever been invited
to the Gallovic? And turn thatvolume down, Vic, don't touch that
coat. Sounds good, sounds goodmoney like my money's rocking. The audio.
The audio is is okay, yeah, p is there is a little,
a little Just answer the question,have you ever been invited to the

(08:18):
gallup? I have not been invited, but I love the I love the
gallop? But how do we knowif we love it? If we've none
of us have ever been invited.I've seen, I've seen numerous videos.
I've heard. I have never beenWhy would you be invited? Petros.
Matt's never been invited. Why wouldMatt be invited? We do we used
to do, uh, the Cityof Hope, Dodger Preger, That's right.

(08:39):
That doesn't justify it and does it? We promote the brand. We're
a very powerful mouthpiece for sports insouthern Calornia. We have been for nearly
two decades. Think of some richguy at the galla from Brentwood that's going
to raise his paddle and buy atrip to the Cook Islands or something.
Oh that sounds great, all right, Hey, I was there and you
know what I saw? Petros andmoney, right, coolest thing ever.

(09:01):
You know. I was at agalla last night and a guy came up
to me with a with an oldfashion and he shoved it into my hand
and he said this is for youbecause you and Matt entertain me every day.
And I said, thank you,sir. And you know what,
me being at that gala that meantsomething to him. And no one at
the Dodger gala is ever going tohave that feeling about seeing Matt and I.
No one nor Vic nor Tim,Kate, Ronnie have you ever been

(09:24):
invited? You Grace? No?No, never? Never do you guys
want to host it. Maybe oneyear I could. I could work Hoby
Rod hosted. I don't want tohost. I don't want to work it.
I want to be invited as asignal of appreciation for all the work
we do to promote the Dodger brand. Yeah. I want to walk up
to Freddie and Missus Freeman like I'ma peer and be like, hey,

(09:45):
Freddie, here we all are likewe always are here on the field at
Dodger Stadium. Isn't this great?Isn't this great? Let me ask you
a question. You thinking about buyingthat vacation there to the Turks and Caicos?
Oh? Yeah, Freddie, Ilike that place. Yeah, a
friend that goes out there every year. Do you think there is a higher
percentage of people that would get excitedabout seeing Nick Chrismitt or seeing Vic the

(10:09):
Brick? You don't think there's anecho shut out? How dare you?
I mean you see Vic the Brickwalk in and full Dodger's regalia. If
Vic showed up at this, he'dbe the most popular guy in the room,
especially on the field, given thathe's never shown up before, right,
and he hasn't shown up to anythingin years half decade. It would

(10:31):
be a huge deal. I'd behonest with you, though. There's been
a lot of turnover on that Dodgerroster. The old dudes like Kershaw,
he's there. They they would loveto see Vic. But the new guys
would be like, okay, you'retelling me t Oscar doesn't want to see
VIC. I think the Oscar wouldlove to see Vic, exactly right.
They would get along famously. Nochance you're going, though, have Vic.

(10:52):
No chance, let all love fortaosco Hernandez. No chance you're going
Vic. I will. I'll belistening to say you'll be there at Spirit
because your expiritt to the reports fromDavid Vess and Tim Kates, I think
Carrols goes to this thing. Ohyeah, like this is the thing You've
got to go. If you're CarrosIt's it's like a festival. There's no

(11:16):
cap it's not on Dodger, it'snot out on the field at Dodger Stadium.
Well there's tables, man, Okay, so guess what guys come.
But we're not sitting you no problem. I don't want to sit. I'm
gonna stand at the bar anyway thewhole time chatting people up like, oh,
you're vot Ca soda man, aren'tyou. And by the way,
I see you got that soa likeyou said, if there's tables, how
about just wheeling another one out andanother one and another one and another one

(11:39):
because you can't Like Tim Kates,you should be there and Leslie should be
at the Dodger gallop. There isno excuse for them not to be part
of this other than like far toooften you might sit next to Nancy Neverett,
oh radio. Much like the LifetimeMovie Network film we're watching right now.

(12:03):
It's like the stepchild that nobody cares. You're right, Matt, You're
right. He wants to see,Oh, the hardest tongue and oh,
come on, he's going to clickhis tongue on the mic to start the
event. That's what they do.And that's like the gavel that starts the
event. And that's a perfect point. And I'm sorry they got to catch
some strays on this, but sobe it. What do you think?
What do you think has more peopleconsuming the post game on the sports net

(12:28):
or Dodger Talk, not even closetsay I hate to say, but we
live in a car culture. Thosefreeways are packed twenty four to seven.
Now this is a fair text,Matt. This is a is a limited
distribution, distribution channel. Here isa limited distribution. Some gentle pushback on
us. What do we get?PU two are complaining about the gala,

(12:50):
But if you are actually invited,you both complain about all the wealthy douches
there. We wouldn't even go,We wouldn't go. The answer to that
is, we wouldn't even go.But that doesn't mean we don't want to
be invited. That damn it.And Kate's would go, and he wouldn't
complain about the wealthy douches. I'dbeen on stuff too. You wouldn't win,
but you bid, yeah, exactly, And if you did win,

(13:13):
you'd look at your wife and say, Leslie, what have I done?
What have I done? I hadto guess the price. My god,
we're going on a cruise down theDanube biking cruises. I thought that was
the one on the Loan Beach Pee. If you haven't been invited to the
Dodger Gallery yet, that AI themesong is not gonna help. Are you
kidding? If they know we smokepole, they're gonna invite us. They

(13:35):
love that stuff at the Dodgers.Are you kidding me? Hey? What
to the line? Okay, Confuciusbreaks a lot. You got any more
Chinese philosophy for us? Matt anypre y Ming dynasty philosophy. There about

(13:56):
Dillo's and Lube have to bring itup to the CEO of the cluster.
It's been zero days. I actuallythrew down a high cool from Confusions today.
Did you really they actually let youcome on the show? It had?
Oh kyk had left? Huh didamazing lay until he had no Puerto

(14:18):
Rican goat's milk left in him,and then they and then it alive and
a love threw him into the Caribbean. They started talking to Vic, so
they were on remote on a liveshow, not there self. Report,
Matt, I've had him on Ibelieve a minute. We have done that
with Vic for forty minutes at theHollywood Park Casino. The answer to the
forty minutes is absolutely not. Butthe opening side. But we have done

(14:41):
that move before and that would makeus hypocrites. And if there's one thing
we're not hypocrites. No, howabout key k All with the guy said
he's got a d D and whenhe plays the outfield, he's got trouble
concentrating, pitched the pitch. Prettycool stuff from ca. Here's a text
that is good, pet. Trust. You seem like the kind of guy
or sport personality that would have asingle gala outfit that everybody is used to

(15:05):
and not looking forward to seeing youin it. That's not the case at
all. You're on TV you gota million suits. Yeah, but I'm
not like Don Cherry. You know, it's like, oh, he's gonna
wear that one outfit with the Martiniglasses on it. That's not me.
And if it was, it wouldn'tmatter because I never get invited. I
wait, I'd never get invited inanything. It is fair to point out

(15:26):
that when formal attire is requested orrequired, well it's not every time.
I would say eight out of ten, you got the tails with the cumber
bun and the both dumb and Dumber. Yeah, with the us save the
out on every cumber bun us,the both tai Us tails. That's your

(15:52):
look. I have the Heisman Trophylapel pants right at the pin I'm a
voter, and then the other pinthat says be the Bruins well Pine and
the Free Palestine pan of course,well you know me, Matt, you
know me, well, Intana,that's what I'm on you. I will

(16:14):
say this, if they were auctioningoff, say something that's scarce here in
California, like a carton of Newports, or like a head dress if they
were. If they were, ifthey were auctioning off a carton of Newports
and a Native American headdress, Iwould purchase those, throw the headdress on,
and then light up the noops rightat the table there because it's open
air. Well, I would thrownoops to everything. Oh, everybody gets

(16:36):
you know what these are just forme? If they, hey, Don
Treue, let they auction off thatgiant box of noops with like the ten
cartons in it. I know DonTreill from Oakland would smoke Newports, no
doubt. You think he's invited.Yes, could you see Matt and I
like dumb and dumber in our inour uh fighting with arcanes coming in doing
the sword fighting. No, youguys would be a dynamic couple. That's

(17:03):
a nice set of hooters. Owls. Eat the owls. This party really
died, So you're not going uhvic huh not invited? Who's the last
thing you were invited to VIC Imean, I mean, clearly you're not
going. I'm not going. Butagain, I celebrate the unity in the

(17:26):
community from a Dodgery organization. Thisis this is a party for La Man.
It's not really for LFL. Itried to come, they'd be they'd
be turned around at the gate.Right. It is open to people purchasing
tickets. Well, yeah, youcan buy a table for like twenty grand.
Individual tickets are available as well.How much of those, Well,

(17:47):
cal Berry, it's worth it.It's worth it. It's a great foundation.
It is. We appreciate it.You just did a charitable foundation event
last night. We lean into I'mgoing to one this weekend. We love
charitable Foundation. I love it Dallas. Which is why it's unfortunate that we
weren't invited, because if anybody knowshow to get the community involved and excited

(18:08):
about something, it's and Kate's andwe're underutilized. We couldn't pay for tickets.
It'd be humiliating because we would showup and they'd be like, oh,
that's cool, the Dodgers invited you, and we'd be like, eh,
we bought tickets. That'd be embarrassed. Sure would because they would assume
we'd be on the invite list.How are you going to invite hard Tongue
and Hairston And all of a suddenwe got to buy tickets to get in.

(18:30):
That's humiliating. They'd be laughing atyou guys. Yeah, get the
radio guys purchasing tickets again. We'relike the guy that shows up for football
camp in the uniform that he madehimself, you know, with a cardboard
helmet and then pants with the cutwith the weird with the pats taped on
the outside with duct tape. I'mthe homeless guy that's been sleeping in the

(18:51):
training room that shows up for puntreturn. That's usc so uh. Overall
our humiliating week, I was removedfrom the Beach Life steam and stream and
replaced by one of the King's icegirls. What it's not new information here
too? Well, I'm not watchingstream then, I mean if you ever

(19:17):
watched it before? No, Imean, who's going to introduce incabus Kylie
Kylie from the King And I thinkof all the bands on Beach Life,
probably not the one that he's mostupset about not being able to introduce.
I really wanted incabus I wanted totalk about Calabasas right and now one of

(19:37):
those guys came from the other sideof the one O one to meet up
with the band. Mike Practice,Brandon and all the other guys were on
the west side of Mike was onthe other. I heard brand that's a
furry talk. If there was aband, I would intro I would love

What do you want from me?Yes? Thank you. Everybody's pilot on
me all week. Don McLean willjoin us in our next segment. I

(21:21):
bet he was invited to the Galla, a galla for the richie riches.
Can we get a Dodger storage Warsfor the rest of us? Yep,
We'll be right back here. Heshowed up to get into Rice Hall and
they wouldn't give him a wrist band. We are we are ouptioning off the
remnants of what was left in YasupWeeks Club Locker. I'm in yep.

(21:47):
Don McLain next, or on theiHeartRadio have Greatest Roast of All Time Tom
Brady Roast Mass Jeff Ross live onNetflix from the Kia Forum. This Sunday
for the Netflix is a joke.Fast tickets are moving fast. Get yours

(22:07):

six six nine seven two five seven. You want to go to the Greatest
Roast of all time? Jeff Rossgiving it to Tom Brady giving him the
business. Keep listening today because we'regiving away more tickets, but right now
we'll give it away to call herten eight six, six, nine,
seven, two, five seventy onthe Sokow Toyotadina Celebrity Hotline. It is

(22:30):
our basketball beacon, our hoops compass, our man in the arena, the
leading scor in the history of thenow defunct PAC twelve and UCLA, which
is not defunct despite the news.He is one of the great people of

(22:56):
all time. Bally Sports Spectrum.Sports Net is where James Worthy works.
But you can see Don McClain workingCA and getting guys ready for the drought,
and he joins us now to discussthe Clippers blowout loss and the Lakers
elimination. Hey Don, how areyou? I'm doing great? So it

(23:22):
made me think pe when he saidthe now defunct PAC twelve. The running
joke around here with our friends wherewe live is if I go to a
place too often, it closes there'sbeen a restaurant because you know me,
I don't like people, So Iwas trying to find the restaurants where people
aren't. Well. It turns outthat's a pretty good indicator of restaurants not
staying open. Like literally literally,there's been five or six places that I

(23:47):
went to frequently that have closed.And now the joke is I have so
much power over that. I gotthe Pack twelve conference to close. Yeah,
I was there too, so long. You're like Lebron, You're like
the grim Reaper. Everybody on Baccaccio'sis still open right on the lake.
Oh yeah, okay, so wegot that, and Finny's is still open.
Yep, all right, yeap,all right. I think those are

(24:07):
I think those are McClain proof.Those two places. They got too many
people in there. But yeah,your numbers are dwindling. If your numbers
are dwindling and I walked through thedoor, you're in trouble. Fair enough,
Is that the last game we'll eversee the Clippers play at Staples Center
as a home team. I don'tthink so. No, I don't think
so, as bad as it lookedlast night, Like this is what they

(24:29):
do, and they've been doing itfor years, and you know whether it's
good or bad or indifferent, Likethey they sometimes lose the games they're supposed
to win, but then they turnaround and win win games they're not supposed
to win, and so I reallyexpect, like Game four, for them
to come out with the right defensivemindset tomorrow night and win that game.
Why was it so bad done?Like A I don't know, man,

(24:51):
Like I don't get it. Andlike you saw how they started on Sunday
in Game four with the defense,and they were up and into guys ball
pressure. Everything offense was clicking becauseof it. And then it's almost like
they switched uniforms because Dallas came outwith the defensive mindset. They were up,
they were into I could tell inthe first four minutes Dallas was winning

(25:11):
that game just because of how theywere flying around the ball, how they
were guarding the ball and making shots. And the Clippers got off to a
bad start because of the Dallas defenseand never got on track. And so
again I think if the Clippers canrecreate what they did Sunday to start that
game, then they win Game sixtomorrow night. The one and only Don

(25:32):
McClain is our guest. It isa wild time in the NBA and in
LA a little bit of a desperatetime with the Lakers down and out and
the Clippers at least down. Donoverall. Are you surprised at how kind
of difficult it's been for them ordid you expect this series to be rough
and tumble? No. I toldall the people we work with, I

(25:55):
thought this was going seven right whenthe matchup came out. I mean,
these are two evenly match teams.Both teams do things a little bit differently
on the offensive end, with differentpersonnel. But the Clippers got three superstar
players that Dallas has too. Butyou know they're down three too, because
even though there's a lot of futureHall of Famers on the floor, Danchits

(26:15):
for the most part has been thebest player, and he was by far
the best player last night, andso that's why they have a three to
two lead. But that doesn't meanthe Clippers can't come back tomorrow night with
that defensive mindset I'm talking about andwin it. You think we'll see Kawhi
again. I don't think we'll seehim in this series. But if they
can win Tomorrow night and then winon Sunday at home, I maybe it's

(26:40):
just wishful thinking, hopeful thinking thathe would be available for the second round,
But we don't know. Were yousurprised how bad he looked in that
Game three I think it was.Yeah, Game three, I mean it
was weird, Like Game two helooked okay, yeah, there were some
play and then all of a suddenGame three, I was like, what
the hell? This guy probably notplaying again? Yeah? Yeah, But

(27:00):
we never know, man, whatthe what the pain level is and what
players are dealing with. You know, you can read an injury report and
it says inflammation, But how muchinflammation? Like is it killing him and
he's just trying to give it ago? Is it just bother bothering him
a little bit. That's what wedon't know. And in a player as
great as Kawhi Leonard, you haveto believe, because I agree with you,
it looked really off and weird.I have to believe that he was

(27:23):
playing through something that he probably shouldn'thave been playing through. But you got
to give him credit for at leastgiving it a go. A Mom and
Pop Typhood restaurant somewhere in Westlake,if Don McClain ducks in and walks into
your your ret, you're done.Run them off foreclosure in two weeks.
Uh now, Donna, speaking offoreclosure, the Lakers are done, And
of course that begins the off season, Lebron Is he going to retire?

(27:48):
Is he ever going to come back? Are they going to fire the coach?
Uh, it's not surprising, rightbecause we've we've done this for years
now. But your impressions are theway that ended and what it's going to
look like next year if you hadany guesses. Hey, look, I'm
not pointing fingers at any of theplayers, but how long is it going
to go that it's the coach's fault? Like it's time after time that it's

(28:10):
the coach's fault for them underachieving andnot meeting expectations. So I guess it
could be a coincidence that the lasttwo or three coaches they've had haven't been
ready for that job or weren't rightfor the job. But to me,
you got to start looking at likeyour personnel and how it's put together.
Does it fit? Why aren't wewinning? And it can't be as simple
as we need a new coach.I mean, how many coaches are you

(28:32):
going to go through before you figureout that it might be that the roster's
just not constructed correctly. I mean, Ad for the most part, stayed
healthy all year and they still,you know, lost in the first round.
So I don't know, and Ithink it's just I think it's lazy
to just say it's the coach's faultand fire him and bring in another coach,
and then you go through another one, two or three year cycle and

(28:56):
then after that's done it well thecoach wasn't working, and then do it
again. I just don't know howlong you do that. Yeah, three
or four would be great. Thisis going to be Lebron's fourth coach in
six years if they do, infact fire Darvin. Just something super specific,
don and trying to figure out ifif I'm you know what the I
don't know a damn thing about it. But if I'm being too hard on

(29:18):
Lebron, but you played with somereally great, superstar veteran players, I
would assume you've been in a positionwhere you don't have any timeouts left and
they're kind of going through situationally whatyou need to do. I mean,
he's on the free throw line andhe's got to know if he makes both
free throws, the defense has gotto get set because they're probably not going
to take a time out since theLakers don't have one and they looked like

(29:40):
a complete jumbled mess on that finaldefensive possession where Jamal Murray's looking at a
wide open left elbow jumper for anotherwin and Lebron James is essentially out of
bounds on the baseline with a handon Aaron Gordon, Like, it could
not have gone any worse in agame that ended their season at the end
there. Yeah, again though,Matt like, is that the coaches faulty

(30:00):
could be? Were they not werethey not instructed on what the game plan
was for that final possession? Oris it the players not paying attention to
what the game plan was or whatwas talked about? And so you know,
you'd never know what happened there.But it's unfortunate because the Lakers played
well enough to win that game andthey didn't. And but we're seeing it

(30:22):
like these shot like you know,Tyrese Maxi the other night hits one from
forty to send it into overtime,Like NBA players make shots, they do
and in those situations and so sometimesyou got to just tip your cap.
But you're right, I mean,that was way too easy of a look
for a final possession. The oneand only Don McClain. There's nobody better,

(30:44):
There's nobody more honest, and there'snobody more busy and tired this time
of year running around with those youngdudes trying to get them ready for the
draft. So who do they hire? Don what kind of coach can come
in there and then really get theseguys say? And that's the thing,
I mean, you know, Ijust I don't know at what point and

(31:07):
who is that guy? Like,I mean, you could interview thirty guys
and you don't know who the rightguy is for that guy. And let's
be honest. You know, LebronJames is arguably the best player of all
time, and you know, aguy that understands a game, been in
the league for twenty plus years,like he could probably coach if he wanted
to, But you have to coachhim. And I think that's important to

(31:29):
understand that, like as much asLebron knows it, as great as he
is, you have to have agame plan, both offensively and defensively,
and it's got to be run bythe team, no matter who your personnel
is. So I don't know ifDarvin Ham did that or not, but
I just feel like they're in thismode where if it doesn't work, it's
got to be the coach's fault.And I'm not sure that's the case every

(31:52):
time. I mean, again,you could run through five more coaches and
if you still underachieve, it ain'tto coach. It's something with the construction
of your roster, the personalities inyour locker room or something, because it
again, it just can't be thecoach every single time. Don McClain is
our guest. Don. We're inthe playoffs and the Clippers are on the

(32:15):
brink of elimination with Harden and thentheir superstars Lebron's out, Kd's out,
Steph Curry's out. Are we witnessinga real changing of the guard, and
then what's it going to do tothe league? I think so, and
I like it. I don't likethat those great players are getting old,
but I like the fact that wedo have some new stars really emerging.

(32:36):
Shay Gilgess, Alexander Tyrese, Maxey, Doncic, all these guys that are
now that we knew were good,really really good young players, all stars.
But you know, as we know, legacies are created in the playoffs,
and I think these guys are startingtheir legacies by winning games. Winning
series, So there is pee thereis a changing of it. It's not

(32:57):
over yet for those older players becausethey still got they still got you years
to go. But you can justfeel that these young guys are coming on
and coming on fast. For people, they may lose interest when their favorite
team, the Lakers, get bouncedor if the Clippers are eliminated. How
would you describe Anthony Edwards to encouragepeople to watch that series against the Nuggets?

(33:17):
Does he remind you of anyone inparticular? And how ridiculously good is
he at twenty two years old?He reminds and I hate to say this
because everything's going to light up,and I don't know if anyone else has
said it. He reminds me ofMichael Jordan. He really does. Like
his offensive and defensive tenacity, theway he plays, the way he's talking

(33:39):
ess the whole game, his athleticismat the rim, his dunks. Like
if you showed some film at Jordanearly in his career, it looks a
lot like Anthony Edwards. I don'tthink Edwards is a shooter that Jordan became,
yet he could be, and I'mnot saying he's going to be better
than Michael Jordan or as good asMichael Jordan. But he does remind me

(33:59):
a lot of Jordan watching him playDon McClain. He had a mid range
much jordan esque, they said abouthis mid range and many other things,
and has an ability to close downany restaurant by finding it. I really
like this place. Not a lotof people here. Well, it's the
reason we dare. That's why Iwalk in because there's not a lot of

(34:20):
people here. Do we dare talkcollege basketballbby? Do we want to go
on campus right now? Talk toYeah? Why not? I didn't see
any of those players champing out exactly, throwing people outside s. He's got
eleven new players, don, that'slike two whole teams. Welcome to college
basketball in twenty twenty four. Everybody'sgot eleven new players. Yeah, seriously,

(34:45):
everybody? All right, it's justyou know, we could go on
for an hour about this. Butthe way it's set up, with ni
own money being given, with theability to transfer so easily twenty two hundred
players in the transfer portal this year, everybody's got eleven new players. All
right? So well, I guessSeptember if I used to spend one hundred

(35:07):
hours getting ready for the season.I'm now spending three hundred hours getting ready
for the season. Well, youcan't say let God sort them out.
You've got to sort them out,all right. Well, thank you Don,
and keep working hard with your guys. We appreciate you taking out the
time and the great perspective. Andgood luck to the Clippers on Friday.
Yep, we'll see see you guys. Hi business killer Don McLean. Hate

(35:35):
to see that you do, andwe'll return with more great sports talk.
We'll have a secret Textelso rodeo aroundsports talk check in with the Lifetime Moving
Network. Of course, you havewant booja still the cup. Oh booh.

(35:58):

till seven pm. Dodgers are offtonight. They'll play the Braves, starting
a home series tomorrow after their ninegame road trip came to an end last
night in Arizona with a victory Clippersbasketball tomorrow night. As well. Gave

(36:21):
away a pair of tickets for theTom Brady Roast in that last segment.
I think we still have one morepair to get you. Tim got two
more pairs two wow. Between nowand the end of the show. Well,
Matt, we do have some reaction. Secret text us a line brought
to you by your so called Toyotadealers. We make it easy. Just

(36:43):
some of the things we've been discussing. It's Galla night, Dodger Talk featuring
Tim Kates at seven o'clock Dodger Galaafter the longest road trip of the season,
spend the night makes sense. InChavez Ravine with Ed Sheeran, this
text says they, oh, andwe established it. Not Ronnie, not
Matt, not me, not Kate, and no, not Vic are invited

(37:08):
to the gala ever and have neverbeen. Everyone is invited, and we've
never been invited to the ping pongtournament, the Clayton Kershaw ping Pong.
Nope, I've been invited. Haveyou been invited to that? Done Dodger
talk from out there a couple oftimes that's not invited though that's allowing you
to do Dodger talk out there.I feel like it was an invite from

(37:30):
Clayton and Ellen. No, didthey come on the show, Clayton,
did you? It's not like Hey, wacky Petros and Money fun Guy radio
partners playing ping pong. They gotWill Ferrell and like Ryan Reynolds and like
dress up in some daisy dukes andyou guys are a ping pong team.
We don't get invited to anything pullsmoking because we pull. We pull smoke
all the time. You don't havetime to go And this says this,

(37:53):
everyone's invited to the gala at theRed House, And you're right, You're
right. Can we all just getalong at the Red House? Furniture?
We can at the Red House.It's been a while. I'm rich at

(38:14):
aka Bighead. I work at theRed House, and I'm black. I
like pumping iron, the pumping furnitureinto people's homes. I'm Johnny aka t
Engage. I work at the RedHouse and I'm white. I like deer
hunting, bass fishing and extending creditto all people at the Red House.

(38:37):
I'm black and I love the RedHouse. I'm white and I love the
Red House. I'm a black womanand I love the Red House. I
am white and the Red House isfor me. At through Red House,

(38:58):
when I got the sofa perfect fora black person, all white person,
this is the vine that you're notgoing to find that You're not going to
find this or not going to findthat visa red I was shearing his red
hair on stage, and white peopleby furniture and expanded people too. Not

(39:21):
very diverse. Not to invite thetwo uh, middle aged white guys that
do afternoon drive on AM radio.Not very diverse school at all. I'd
rather go to the Red House.Gallow copy that, but it is in
North Carolina. Take hard in knowingthat comedian Elaine Boosler was probably not invited

(39:42):
either. You're right, Elaine Booslerwas probably not invited. If you guys
missed this. Boozler was kicked outof Dodger stated the other night. He
was not kicked out. She wasrefused admission. She was arrested for not
following the rules. She was detained. She was yes, and they told
her. You know, then theysaid you have to leave or we're gonna
arrest this bag. Right, shesaid, I'm I booted Boozsler. She

(40:06):
didn't have to leave, but shewouldn't let go of her bag. So
then eventually Boozler got booted. Andyou're right, we are not invited.
Neither is Boozler. So we're inthe Boozler boat. I don't think we're
in the Boosler We are in theBoozler boat. What makes us any different?
You know what, You're right becausewe have done what Elaine Boosler claims
she has done, and that isat least fifty different things for free.

(40:28):
That's right. For the Dodgers,we have definitely done at least fifty We've
done a lot of work for theDodgers, not more like Boosler. Like
and unlike Boosler, our work hasbeen much more recent. Yes, you
guys are a bunch of clippers,grizzy riders. That's what you are.
Were you riding the clippers grizzy there? Matt God no, a little bit.

(40:49):
No. Don is the one whosaid he believes they're gonna win.
I don't you don't feel like you'reriding there grizzy just a little bit,
Matt. No, this is howI treat glizzies. I'm Matt Smith.
I'm a pullsmoker. Someone send mea text over the weekend last weekend that

kids say, I'm grilling up someglizzies for the kids. It's like,
yeah, you know, we sayhot dogs. Yes, they're got hot

(41:10):
dogs for the kids, not glizzies. What did the kids call them GLIZZI
hey, how many glizzies do youthink you could fit in Russell Wilson's wife's
ex mouth at that draft day whichshe opens her mouth so wide he got
picked by the Seahawks. I betyou could fit twenty glizzies up and there.
How about just a hot dog abouthim grilling hot dogs for the kids?
Oh? Word is Joyce? CarolOates also not invited. All right,

(41:36):
I feel a little better. Ifeel a little better. Jco also
not going to be there, Matt, all right, okay, you know
there's some other luminaries that aren't going. If JCO doesn't go, then you
can count on me as being Iknow, yeah, even though I've not
been invited anyway. Did Don McLeanjust welcome you to college basketball? Buddy?

(41:57):
He sure did well. Don wasa little short with his answers.
Maybe we asked stupid questions we usuallydo, But dawkam to college basketball,
buddy. Don was a little shortwith his answers because it's in the short
with his answer season for Dawn.He is working out all day with young
guys. I kind of watch youinto that trap too. Yeah, no,

(42:19):
you sure did. I thought youwere going to say goodbye, and
I was like, so, Iguess we're gonna just ignore college canvases.
Yeah, And I was like,hey, yes see you Yeah, well
basketball idiot. Hey I heard JohnnyJoosang was riding his bird scooter around the
protest and fell down. This textsays this, Matt, it's not called

(42:43):
GLIZZI riding, It's called meat.Right, shut up, ride that meat,
Ride that sweet meat. Look atthis. Boozler filled in for Stephanie
Miller a long time ago, possiblyin the same studio you're in now.
You should have had her on theshow. It's a studio right next door.

(43:06):
Have we talked in the same micthat Boosler talked? Probably Matt always
hating on LBJ and The Lake Show. Yes, but loves smoking that clip
show poll. Do not love smokingthe clip show pole? Yeah he does,
Yeah, he does not. True. Sometimes his mouth goes like this,

(43:30):
you reference Russell Wilson's ex wife orgirlfriend. I had to google.
You're right, man, draft youdon't remember that on draft day? How
weird she looked. I forgot.Oh yeah, you could fit thirty Glizzies
easily between Russell Wilson's ex wife.By the way, it was not his
girlfriend. That was his wife.He was married RG three's wife and Russell

(43:50):
Wilson's ex wife. The RG threeex wife and Russell Wilson's ex wife,
the two beat up chicks they broughtinto the NFL with him. They should
have a show like Nicole Richie andParis Hilton and just go around and be
like, hey, what's up.We're barbecuing Grizzy like Stafford and Whitworth.
Yeah, just glizzy it up,do your thing. They should have a
podcast. I'd listen to it.I'd listen to the issued Frumpy First Wife

(44:15):
NFL podcast with RG three's first wifeand not case Is looking her up,
Glizzy Face, Ashton and Rebecca.Yeah, lovely ladies and our apologies call
it A and R. Can weget Booslaan Yes, I don't think that
would be hard at all. Idon't think she'd be allowed to come on.

(44:37):
Why because she got into it withpeople at Dodger Stadium, because she
took the Dodgers on with false information. But Matt, they almost they were
almost hungry with a lanyard on openingday they did, and I wasn't happy
about that. I aired my grievancesand I moved on, and I had
my photo identification in hand and wastold I couldn't have it in hand,

(44:59):
I had to have a lanyard.She tried to smuggle in what would qualify
as checked baggage on an airline,presenting it as though it was well within
the parameters of acceptable admissible carryons.They say, old Glizzy face Wilson's wife
spent all of his rookie salary atthat big Nordstrum in Seattle, like all

(45:22):
of it. Oh, it's athird round pick. You know that would
happen to me. I'd bring mywife up to Seattle. I'd call a
U dub game and I'd be like, you spent all our money. You
spent the whole game check at thedamn Nordstrum, and now what can we
afford for dinner? We're not goingto the met grill. We're gonna get
glizzies at the airport. See tacMy wife just bought a bunch of souvenirs

(45:45):
from the Experienced music Project. Spenta considerable amount of money there. What's
the name of the what's the nameof the music festival in Seattle? Enfest?
At least that's what it used.I thought it was called bumber shoot

I'm gonna bumber shoot you what.No, Seattle is a mess.
Everywhere's a mess except for Brandice.They've extended transfer applications. Will be your
safe space. It feels like theSEC schools, Well, they'll shoot you.

(46:30):
They're not having it, or theyall have a bear on campus and
they'll release it. That's how youkeep the encamp. You know, if
my wife, if my wife spentall my money at Nordstr, I'd marry
a rich chick and be like,that's never happening again. I'll spend And
