but like that was his thing, you know, that was
kind of his You think.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Like Tim Kates celebrating a birthday today, he overdid the
energy drinks and blew out his gall bladder and decided
pet Like if I was reggae Chris, and I was
obsessed with a lot of things. The first obsession that
I had that I would look to knock out is
going to Disneyland every day. Okay, but we're a lot
more accessible. You buy the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
App, you buy a season pass, Well, we're free and exactly.
But then you feel like, I've really got to maximize
the most out of this investment that I've made, and
by going every day for just an hour or two
a day, that really means I'm getting one over on Disney.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I mean my break down the psyche of a listener,

Crunchy Groove Nate, former intern now turned into corporate exact
reputable member of society, Yes, which some people have faked
for years. We were just talking about deactly ring to break. Yeah,
and Nate worked his way up the corporate ladder to
middle management. And we're still friends with Nate, who's miserable
now and balding in middle management.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
He was already bolding when he was with us.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, I just made that part up. I don't know,
but Nate is famous for being an early millennial. On
our show to where it was raining and Matt's very
worried about the rain right now, storm alert, right now,
heavy storm alert on k t l A. I love
local news, but I will say that there's a lot
(03:22):
of worry out there.

Yes, Nate called Nate's day to intern had arrived. It
was raining outside, and he said he didn't show up.
I'm not coming to work. Called why aren't you here?
That's raining?

He said, it's ready. He said, well, did your car
flood or is there your street flood out? Did somebody
in your neighborhood drown or no? So why aren't you here?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Rain?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Didn't want to drive in the rain, which is like
foreign to us because there was a time living in
La or anywhere else that it could be haling, it
could be terrible fog, carmageddon. Whatever. You were expected to
be wherever you were supposed to be, and you were
expecting to be on times right, nobody wanted to hear
about anything.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I don't carevas hailing, mow the lawn edge it too.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And now these modern day excuses like my way moo
wouldn't drop me off and just kept doing hot laps.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's true, just kept going around in a circle.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Leave us alone, man.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
They're at the Sky Harbor Airport.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It is Tim Kates's birthday today, Tim Kates. Tim celebrating
his birthday by going to the doctor. I don't know
why he would do that on his birthday.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And I scheduled weeks ago, and now.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
He forgot that April third was your birthday. He wasn't thinking, yeah, sure,
no problem, will do it. Then it's just a physical yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
But now he's all angry, you know, because it's like, well,

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Every year? I go to get my physical because you're
good looking, man, geez, everybody wants a hand on your big.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And I got a big doctor too. He's got big hands.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
As soon as he comes in, I like, like, literally, guy,
he's a great guy. I bet all right, let's make
sure you dis rube everything and then you know, put
the robe on and let's get through it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Here and he goes like this, we could see why
you had that deep voice, can't we there?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You know, in high school and we had to do our
annual physicals. Our doctor that came to Burrows never tested
anybody or like last to grabber. He's always like you
got two of them down there with the with the yep, yep,
I'll sign off on that.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
See mine was different that. That's how they slipped the crack.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Come over here, a little bit closer, a little bit closer.
I'll turn your head and.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Gob, I don't like this, sing me a song, you know.
Growing up, however, I did with the restaurant and stuff.
I found myself as a football a young football player
at CAL and at SC to maybe have some more
life experience in some ways than some of my teammates,
(06:22):
like with the doctor or seeing the ocean sure, or
you know, having read a book or having read or
you know, or you know, be able to have a
few drinks and not confess I killed a guy once.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I played at a different time and when I was
at Cal for the whole summer, we had physicals at
the end of the summer to start football camp for
the freshman and there was a rumor swirling from all
the upper classmen, Reagan Upshaw, people like that recognizable Tony
Gonzalez was on the team. There was rumors swirling that
you know, they're going to give you the finger, and
(07:00):
you know it was in our dorm. It was a
real point of contention. Many of our players, very trepidacious,
don't want There was a lot of talk, sure, and
it was. It was a nice, demure little Asian doctor.
And I've seen her on the side. I saw her
on the sideline of cal for for years. Yes, lovely lady.
And I remember all the talk came to the point
(07:23):
where as a bit of a of a leader or
a mouthpiece, I said, I will go first, I will go,
and I will come back and I'll say what happened. Yeah,
it was basic, it was I remember, I think it
was Lewis Henderson from Long Beach Polly. It was a
few guys waiting, you know, because we were like the
first shift. And I went in and and without a
(07:45):
doubt I was checked properly and professionally in that way.
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Really?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
What are they looking for?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Thoroughly? My whole undercarriage was scoured. You're eighteen, yeah, But
if you got a faulty sack and you're playing, I mean,
if you've got a faulty bunghole and sack and you're
playing in the big game and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You got the piles, man, pet, you got the piles,
you can't play hembroids if you.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Couldn't play with hembroids.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
No one could play the finger at ease.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Not only that, Matt, but when I walked out that
the other gentleman or boys at that time, really we
could tell that I had been violated. And I think
it was Lewis who got up so abruptly and sprinted
out of the doctor's office. He knocked over the magazine
rack and all the pamphlets at cal about you know,
(08:38):
all the progressive things that you could do. And it
was very it was very Uh, it was a big topic.
I don't know if he ever got his physical. He
never played football. You did play football.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't need this.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So Tim decided to spend his birthday doing that, having saddled,
and then he came here and who who but on
his day off callin.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Ye this by the way, what a guy.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Drives up to the Petros and Money Show prep Zone
studio and delivers. I believe it's a.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Cobbler, a Portho's fruit tart? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Guitart?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, a beautiful fruit tart which customized, yes, customized, in
a separate box. What was that case. It's like a
happy birthday chocolate. It was just a happy Birthday, generic,
but then he got a different on the head said
happy birthday, Tim on it put that on there.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So yes, and are you going to go see Hector
at Don Kuco's tonight and celebrate with the family, Tim,
I mean there's gotta be a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
If I can get out of the studio quick enough
and get to Don Kuco's before they close at nine,
then yes, the plan is to go to Don Cucos
said hello to Hector and marry him and everybody up
there until mos the bartender so journie you end up
having an off day from the Dodger m hm, and
you could get out of here at seven they were.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
They asked black More for the night off and Blackmore
said no, no, vass a lands with the Dodgers playing
seven thirty Eastern time. You think he's gonna scramble to
some Philadelphia iHeart studio to do Dodger talk, keep into
the night and of Beverly Love.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You know what I'm drinking?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
You know who he's going out to dinner with tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
By the way, uh Monday, I'm gonna guess Cole Hammils,
Eric carrows Us at dinner.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Oh that's right for that thing that we did that
one day outfield.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, yeah, the whole who's gonna make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I think right or called the Dodgers soft and then
they went on to win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, so e K says, this is our first road trip.
You're buying me dinner. So they're going to dinner tonight
in Philadelphia. Fun.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
They're going to Ben Franklin's restaurant. It's gonna be awesome.
Uh So we're not gonna talk to Vassay. We thought
Tim was gonna get the night off. He is not
gonna get the night off. He's got to do Dodger
talk at eight and then scramble like a scavenger, like
Lewis Henderson, running out of the doctor's office, knocking over magazine.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Rats, over to the don Kuko's other.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
To the kouk to see ector.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, they close at nine. I think I can get
there by eight, ten, maybe fifteen. I think, Yeah, you'll
be fun.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And not only that, but today is Zen She Sushi Day.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, dev.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I don't appreciate what happened. No, I don't either. I
don't neither. This is a reputable show that's run a
certain way.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And we were kind of zen She Sushi is not
our what they call it in our world account, right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Tim Kates endorses zen She Sushi and they're the best,
and we simply do reads. We would do a Dodgers
on deck presented by zen She Sushi would be our involvement,
but we weren't. We weren't paid, we weren't compensated by
Zen She every now and then enthusiastic endorsers, and as
we've said repeatedly on the show, hit up the Ralphs,
(11:53):
get the spicy tune or something there s every time
it's great stuff at the Ralps to get the Zench Sushi.
And today Debra blessed us with her Zenchi's presence, and
she came bearing gifts again.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Three for me, Matt and Kates Zench Sushi roll combos
in a heart shaped box like the Nirvana song.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Exactly right. Fifteen dollars and forty six cents.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Too much sushi for fifteen forty way too much.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
We said, this is bs. You're just putting this price
on here. So we say, this is incredibly affordable compared
to what Quick Serve out Let's charge these days for
not nearly the quality nor quantity of food. Twenty pieces
of sushi in that heart, three different varieties for fifteen
forty six.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, Tim Kates was up there Zen. She sushi ing up.
But I'll say this, And then we were invited by
Tim Kates. He's like, Debra said, hey, bring the guys up.
She loved meeting you guys. We had remember we had
the taste test last year and Don Martin was like,
what is this. I want the mango chill, I want
the chi lay mango with the free though on it.
(13:02):
And we had a whole thing and we talked about
it on the show.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Because we were excited. It was great. We got a
tour of the zench Platter and.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Then Matt and I went up there just now and
we're sitting there having a nice conversation and what does
the sales guy? What does the sales guy say? He says,
it's like he's playing racquetball in a nineteen eighties movie
with some guy during lunch.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He says, first, you know, he knows how to play
the game. He butters us.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Up, you guys are great.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
First fifteen minutes he gave us fifteen minutes on the zenshit.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You guys talked about sushi for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We're like, yeah, it was good. We only talk about
things we like. Debor did a hell of a job
taking us on a tour of all the different varieties
of zen she available at our local grocery.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
So sis, I'm ever gonna get to Asia?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I felt like I was in our bullpen, but I
felt like I was sitting in a cafe in Hong Kong.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And we were excited about that, and we shared our
experience with our listeners. This is what he liked to do, right,
And then he innocently and then he said, I don't
even remember what was said, Kates, do you remember what
was said?
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Vaguely?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Did we say we wanted to mount the sushi?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Did we say something bad? Just the guy was like,
what you guys said was a little risque. Yeah, it
was like, hey, won't you shut up? He said, we
made it. Really he made us uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And then he said, I didn't know whether or not
I should send the air check to her because I
was uncomfortable with how riskue your behavior was and the
turn that the topic took. And then he says, but
I did.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Nobody calls us into a meeting and makes us bleed
her own blood like that.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Matt and Deborah looked at us and said, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeah she did.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
She did, however, qualify and say I wasn't sure if
I should send it to the higher ups, but I did,
and she said they had no man, no response, none,
none like good?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Or bet? Is that good?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Or bet? She goes, I think that's good.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right. I'm just saying, let's break into this dish
of fish. Why does it have to be that way?
Why is it going to be Why does it have
to be like why can't it just be like, hey,
we love that you talked about Zenhi sushi for fifteen
minutes last time we fed you. You guys gonna talk
about it today? Instead, it was well, you guys got
a little loose, and I was like, well, why are
we here then?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
If it was so offensive, what are we doing here
now eating sushi again?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You wouldn't have invited us up here, and she wouldn't
have brought six trays, three of which were for our show.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I should stood up and said, I don't know what
this is, Jim, just some kind of slap on the wrist.
What is this?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
We're not gonna do that. Okay, we're not going to
play the stephen A game about what we would have done,
because what we did do is we took it.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
We did. We took it like cours I would have
stood up. No, we said one more thing.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Because we took it. We allowed Jim to humiliate us.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah we did.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And then we took our sushi and we came downstairs,
and you promptly gave your trail away.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
To be fair, I did, did you really? I was offended.
I ate some of match.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, we split it here. There's no way we were
gonna eat dust one of those. It was too much food.
Too much food for fifteen dollars and forty six cents.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What a value?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, way too much food. I had to share mine too.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's your birthday case. You can get away with eating
at least a third of that fruit tart and an
entire tray of Zenci sushi. You've earned it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
If that guy said one more thing, man, I was
gonna flip the table. Be like prostitution horror and flip
the table.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was incredibly risque.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
And that's incredibly risque. What did we say?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Understand?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And then Matt tried to make He tried to lie
and say, oh, yeah, that was upe.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I remember you said you said you wanted to that.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, and then no, now listening, now, listen, now, this
is gonna get played again. The history is repeating itself, Matt.
World War One is a little bit of history repeating.
World War One becomes World War two. We didn't learn
our lesson, did we? But see that's millions have to die.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And everybody has whatever line of work you're in. We
all have the department and for us it's sales where
they're slick. Man, they're slick. They're a little slimy, a
little smarmy. We appreciate them.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I don't trust the cut of their Jim.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Jim thinks he's smarter than us.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I don't like the cars those guys drive.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
He just think for some idiot sports talkers, he can
play this game on a higher level and be like, Okay,
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say, hey, that
fifteen minutes was great, but it was a little riskue
And then that way they're gonna do the fifteen minutes,
but they won't do the risk a part. And I'm
gonna get an a plus plush sound check and it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Be amazing, wrong, Jim.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Instead, you're getting called out, Jim telling us we were.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
We're not just a Neon Miller light side at your
bar that you could turn on and turn off when
you want. We're breathing flesh eating men.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You sign up for petros and money and you get
the whole thing, the whole inch alat thing.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
This escalated quickly. Yeah I did.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I did like that, Kates. You know what I would
have done. I would have put soy sauce in a
squirt gun. And then she got up shot right his
I it was we had a great time. We had
a great time with this zen sh We did.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
We did. But then Joel, I think, was upset with
the tray that I selected for us. What do you mean,
because he like tried to push the tray, a certain
tray on me, like a poison. It's like, hey, here
you go take this down with you. This is for you.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
You tried to poison.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I grabbed one to my right instead, and he said, verbatim,
are you gonna take that one? It's like, yeah, I'm
gonna take this one. Why, what's the big deal? Oh yeah,
I just you know, yeah, I'm taking this one. This
is the one I'm taking. I didn't know you got
into a fight with act Oh. I didn't, but it
was just an odd response to when I grabbed that,
He's like, oh, that's the one you want. Yeah, And
(18:54):
we consumed it and it was delicious. We had a
little bit of a soy sauce accident. But outside of that,
I thought, I went, great, what do you mean a
soy sauce accident? I meant to do that, soak your
papers and all soy sauce. I used it as a plate.
We didn't have plates, we didn't have chopsticks. We had
(19:14):
with sabi. We had soy sauce. And so I would
say the the prep zone, it got a little salty.
I may have dripped a liberal amount of soy sauce
on the carpet that will not be steam clean anytime soon.
In the Taylor swift room, no oh, in the dog
in the prep zone, well, let me just say this,
(19:35):
they could have gotten a lot uglier in there. It
could have.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Thank god, cool their heads prevailed. You know, you guys
were a little risque.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Sat there when talking about you guys just sat there,
warri it. I was like, where the fight from Petro
some money? I don't know if we didn't just sit
there and what do we say? I mean we said
to deb like, wait a minute, what was sai? Well
I turned and said, but still we're here today. That's
what I said. Basically, your words are meaningless, salt and pepperhead,
But you know I'd rather have your head than.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Dave Weez, Happy birthday, Tim, Thanks Matt. And you wonder
why we have a hate list. Nobody likes us. I mean,
you know what, thoughbody, we didn't deserve that. We didn't
deserve to go in there. They say, here's some sushi.
But what you guys did seven months ago, I don't
(20:29):
like it? Little risque.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You don't say, did we talk about the naked sushi
like the chicks? That are a trade?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That's what it was. That's what it was like.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
We would ender the room and expected to have a
chick laid out right. Well, isn't that a Japanese delicacy.
Isn't that just embracing the culture.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
It's more like a Diddy party.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Actually, I mean maybe not OnlyFans or no, it's a
very common thing. Naked sushi tray person, very common, very
very totally. I bet we could order one right now.
We could have it here, and it's Tim's birthday. By
our final hour, we could be eating sushi off some
naked lady.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's exactly what it was. You had mentioned pulling yellowtail
off an ass cheek.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
They're usually legging face up. We did a face down.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
One right there in the crack.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
We got two little dimples. Well too, was Sabi bulls
here at the dimples.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I don't know what to tell you. I'm an ass man.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Put it on the backside. Turn over, sweetie. Ah. I
hate everybody so much, they hate us. Why can't we
just go eat sushi and have a peaceful day.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Man, if he would have said one more thing.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
If he said, I would have been like, hey, man,
you buddy. You know I didn't even realize he did
something wrong until like five minutes later, when you and
Tim were like, hey, why do you say that? And
I was like, yeah, man, why do you say that? Now?
I'm living now, I've never been more offended in my life.
I'd take offense, I take umbrage.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And he's now in our new boss, Brian Long's office,
like you see.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
You see what it's like to work with these guys.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, Yeah, welcome to the rodeo.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Jim, all right, we'll be right back with Don McClain.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Sorry, Tim, if it's if it was our account, none
of us would be happening.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
We'd be fired.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, by the fact that it's Tim's account.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Tim's right on the border.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Now, if it was your account, you guys, you're right, Jim,
we went over the top.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You're right over the tab. What was it exactly that
I said? I will hone in myself immediately, all real
them and Jim, I'm sorry. Sometimes I let Hi get
a little aboust had a mouthful of tunerole, you know,
I just took some of the hobby and just shove
it on my pants.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Icy.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh god. All right. Don McClain is next.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Go until seven pm. A full four hour show. Dodger
Baseball returns tomorrow. Dodger Sphillis first pitch at three forty
five pm.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
It is time for the BFF of the Petrusen Money Show,
a beloved member of the LA Sports media and beyond
Big Ten Network. FS one c A a fan duel
sports Clipper broadcast the Great Don McClay, leading scorer in
the history of the pack. Twell, the next ass he
kisses will be the first. And I wasn't gonna rain later.
(23:42):
I tell you to go over to eleven Park and
see me Valley and stand underneath that statue in Marvel
and it's greatness. It's gonna dump Johnny Us right now home.
I'm your southern California. Tell you to do a celebrity hotlight.
It is Don McClain, Petros and money. What's dragging? Don?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
How are you wait?
Speaker 6 (24:03):
It's supposed to rain later?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah? Yeah, it's a I the storm snuck up on
everybody like a guy. Yeah, like a guy that crouches
down behind you and then somebody comes and pushes you over.
It's that kind of storm.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
So keep me like the guy. You mean, the guy
like like the guy at the Clipper game last night
that was standing literally two inches behind me with his
photo with his camera shooting the court from two inches
behind me.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
You mean kind of.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Like that, Yes, just like that, resting his crouch on
your very wide shoulders. Yes, Don, yes, yeah. Before we
get into the local pro teams, Don, you've got your
stuff going on, right, you start your big pro camp
next week. I know this. We tried to get you
in to host a show, but you start your very
busy season with the draft. Is there anything you could
(24:51):
tell us about that or should we move on?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
No?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
We started. We still have three guys that are coming
out that are playing in the Final four, Flag, Proct
and Broom Whoa Whoa. So it's gonna trickle in, you know.
Liam McNeely started today actually, and then they'll start trickling in.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
We're gonna have a big group this year.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Danny Wolf's coming in. You know a lot of guys
that that you know, people I think know who they are.
So I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be a lot.
We're gonna have multiple groups, which sometimes we do, sometimes
we don't, but for sure it's gonna be multiple groups
this year. So it'll be a lot, but it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I saw a thing today some NBA Scouts, anonymous scouts.
One compared Cooper Flag to Scottie Pippen, another to Kawhi Leonard,
and another to Jason Tatum. What is that crazy? Is
that what we're witnessing? Is that what we're gonna watch?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I think? So what happened with Flag?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
He's been here the last couple of summers, and I
think what's surprised a lot of people, including me, is
how well he shot it this year. I still think
mechanically he's got some things that we're going to talk
about and work on that need to speed up. But
it went in more than I think people thought, and
I think that changed the narrative of him. I think
the biggest comp heading into this year at Duke was
Andre Carolinko ak forty seven, just kind of a long athletic,
(26:12):
really good defender, good player, but not really the offensive player.
And I think he proved this year that he's a
much better offensive player than people.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Think, and I think that'll continue to evolve.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
So those three guys you said, I'm not sure he's
going to be exactly like any of them, but I
do think that he is going to be a multi
time All Star before this is all said, now, I'll
tell you this, and this is something like this intel
that I get in doing this really tells me more
than what I'm watching on the court. John Schier told
(26:43):
somebody that I was talking to the head coach at
Duke that Cooper Flagg is the best teammate he's ever
been around.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
In his life.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Geez.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
So think of how widely regarded he is as a
player and just watching him play for the head coach
of his team to say that, and John Hires been around,
he won a national championship with Duke too. Like that
to me is why he's going to be one of
those guys that's just an All NBA guy every year.
Just that he's going to be that guy.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Don are you looking forward to the final? I mean,
I know you got guys that you're going to watch
and it's worked for you. But I mean it's it's
no Vcus or George Mason's or or anything like that.
I mean, the same people that are lamenting the four
one seeds are the same that pushed for the nil.
But does it not make it make it as exciting
(27:34):
for you or or how do you feel it?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
I think the other way, Pee, I think you probably
had the best four teams. Yeah they were one seeds,
but I think you had the four best teams, and
I think that makes for better basketball, like more competitive.
It's not a Cinderello. If they get hot, they might
be able to knock them off. No, this is the
four best teams. Let's get it on and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
How give a deal is it that three of them?
And I know, like in the case of with which
and I broom. I mean, he's a guy that transferred
a few years back from Morehead State kind of thing.
But you look at the way Houston's constructed. Is it
a big deal that Duke is kind of relying heavily
on these freshmen versus these other teams that use the
portal to get their best players.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
It's a great question, Matt. Somebody asked me that a
couple of days ago, too. Well, here's the thing. All
of college basketball is trying to get old. I'm watching
it with my own two eyes right now because Trent's
somewhat involved in it. Everybody they don't care about young.
They just want old. They figure in Houston, by the way,
I think, their youngest players twenty three years old. So
(28:40):
their idea is our twenty three and twenty four year
olds will beat your eighteen, nineteen and twenty year olds,
which kind of is true until you run into Duke.
My eighteen nineteen twenty year olds are more talented than
your twenty three and twenty four year olds, so the
age gap is closed by how much talent we have.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I really believe.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Duke's gonna win the thing because they're just better than
the other three teams. They have better players, more talented players.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
The one and only Don McClain is our guest on
M five seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers.
We also got the Clippers. They host the MAVs tomorrow.
Pregame is at six thirty. Things are wrapping up at
the beautiful Into It Dome before we get into that
and this playoff picture down the stretch. I mean, everybody
(29:29):
knows how tight the West is, but man, it's kind
of hard to follow her or figure where people are
gonna end up when it's so damn tight, like this
isn't it?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Well, it's hard to keep track of and the only
ones I know are the Clippers. But it's hard to
keep track of who has all the tie breakers because
it's so close.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You don't know.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
There's teams that could could dump a game at the
end of the year, and you say, well, why would
they live it? Well, it doesn't matter because they have
the tiebreaker.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And so the.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Clippers have the tiebreaker over the Warriors and the Grizzlies,
but not the te Wolves, and so we've been talking
a lot about that on our show of what's going
to happen coming down the home stretch. Obviously, everybody wants
to be in the top six. They don't want to
be in the playing game. But I said this. I
didn't say it last night, but I said it before.
Think of this scenario of who two through five are?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Okay, you got.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Houston, the Lakers, Denver, and Golden State. Would you risk
playing a one game game playing game?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
The reward would.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Be you get Houston. Now if you lose that game
and you win the next one, now you got Okay. See,
and that's not good. But my point is this race
to the sixth seed, well you're getting either the Lakers
or the Nuggets. So it's kind of an interesting situation
and an interesting question. Would you risk playing a one
game playing to get the Rockets versus getting the Lakers?
(30:52):
Are Nuggets? Kind of an interesting thought?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What was that? What was the year that it was
the Clippers I think right that got accused of paying
because they wanted to face the Was it the Nuggets
or what? And sure enough they made easy work of
that first round opponent. I think it was the year
they lost to the Suns after having that three to
one lead or something like that. So it's not like
it's out of the question. I mean, teams have done
this before, and it would make like you asked the
(31:16):
question down. I think it makes perfect sense to get
the young Rockets, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
But the problem is you're risked what happens if something
happens in that one game play And that's the difference.
It's not just straight one through eight anymore. You have
to get play that playing game. And we've seen over
the member line. Was it two years ago the Clippers
were in the play in and PG got COVID the
day before and they lost the play in and missed
the playoffs. So it's a little dicey saying yeah, we'll
(31:43):
do that to get the Rockets. But anything can happen
in a one game series, for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Do you think the Lakers are built to win a
multiple series in these playoffs? They have some flaws, but
they seem to be playing pretty well.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
They more and more they see look like they're going
to be able to win. I'm not saying they're going to,
but I believe in it more now than I did
when they first got Luca. But that's that's probably an
obvious thing to say, because they needed to incorporate him
and him and Lebron to figure each other out and
what the rotations were and how you were going to
stagger Minnettes and all that. But yeah, I do think
(32:18):
they can, and I think they've proven it here the
last month or so.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
We talk about the you know, the Lakers. Now that
they get Luca, they take off. The Warriors get Jimmy Butler,
they take off. Is it safe to say that maybe
the Clippers acquired a much more healthy Kawhi Leonard and
that's why they've now taken off and should be a
team that's looked at a little bit differently because of
maybe like the level of play that he's kind of
experiencing right now.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I do.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I do think that, Matt, and I'm not saying this
just because I do the show every night or most nights.
I do think that the Clippers can make a run.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I really do.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
And this was the plan the whole time, was to
make sure that Kawhi was right right now, not in January,
non February, right now, And the Clippers I think came
together once Norman Powell came back from injury and they
had their whole group. They have looked completely different, and
Kawhi is a big part of that. But I think
Pale being back and this was always the thing that.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
They were going to do.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
And we'll see how it plays out once we get
to the playoffs. But yeah, they're they're they're.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Playing really well right now.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
The Clippers just one last thing for me. Don have
you ever I don't. I can't remember, except for maybe
the Warriors that year they ended up with the first
pick with Weisman, But I don't remember there being a
team like Philly that was so below what expect I mean,
they were expected to challenge for a title and they're
one of the five worst teams in the league this year.
If do you remember anything this bad like that?
Speaker 6 (33:44):
No, but I mean you lose EMBIID and PG. I mean, yeah,
you're gonna be one of the worst teams in the league.
Now Maxi's out for the rest of the year. Yeah, No,
I can't. I can't remember that, but you know, you
bring it up, Matt, So it's we're talking about that.
This is why there's so much talk and so much
about resting guys in load management. And making not rushing
(34:06):
guys back from injury, because if you're injured, you're done
in the NBA. And Philly, You're right, the expectations were
sky high before the season started. When they got our
sign pd MB looked like he had. MB had a
pretty good Olympic, so you thought maybe he lost weight.
So you're like, okay, here we go and they couldn't
stay healthy and here they are in the lottery again.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Don McClain, our hero. What do you make of the
Adaimara story? If anything done?
Speaker 6 (34:34):
I heard you guys talking about that yesterday. I highly
doubt that those were real demands. I highly doubt that.
And if they were, it was basically he was too
afraid to tell.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Him he was leaving exactly, but because he.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Knew if those if those really were demands, he knew
the answers to those demands, and so I'm just that's
my way of saying I'm leaving.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
It kind of felt like the universal feeling amongst all
those guys was they wanted to run it back, and
Marrow was the same way, and then it changed. How
bad is that? I mean, where do you think you'll
end up?
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Well, here's the thing, Pete And again, I know I've
talked about it a lot the last couple of weeks,
but this money is out of control. And I don't
know what UCLA was offering him for him to stay,
but I guarantee you it's going to be more somewhere else.
And that's not a knock on UCLA because I heard
what they paid for Donovan Dent. But there's only so
much money. And I think there's a lot of people,
(35:33):
especially in the Big Ten and talking to coaches and
people around the league this year, that really liked to
Die Mara, So I wouldn't be surprised if somebody threw
a bunch of money at him. And that's why he
ended up leaving, not because he didn't like the players
on the team or Mick Cronin or what, just that
the money's too good. And you're seeing that that guys
(35:55):
want to stay, but you can't, like literally, you can't
leave a million dollars on the table just because you
want to stay out of school.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
You can't.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Yeah, So it's like that's that's that's what we're dealing
with now, and that's why you're seeing all this movement.
So many guys in the port. It's like this is
this is family changing money.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Really, Matt and I would know each other's arms off
right now. You just heard us right now. No, you
can't leave that money.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
On the table.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
You gotta go, gotta go in hell, Kansas is probably
gonna pay him six million bucks. The amount of money
you here they're throwing around.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Holy hell, Yeah, it's I've told you guys last week,
didn't I that if you're a rotation player top eight
in a Power for school, you're getting a half a
million dollars minimum. Gee, So you're telling me this guy
is getting paid a half a million dollars and he's
not even gonna start.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah he is, Oh, all.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Right, okay, well inflation it's really really hitting basketball this year.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, Don, you're the greatest. Thank you for the great
interview as always, and we'll talk to you next week.
And good luck with the rain. Good luck with the rain,
and good luck with your endeavor. It's already hailing, and Recita,
protect your neck, yes, no, look, yes, yes, yeah, look
out the window, guys, it's coming. It's just cloud.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Thank you, Don. The ominous clouds have arrived in Burbank.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It is hailing, and Reciita I have a report. Yeah,
and somebody robs Smell last night while he was getting
his boobs ripped off.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
No way, Yeah, Chilean gang. Spitzer's been trying to get
them out for a while now.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Trend de agua. We'll be right back with more pets.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Somebody big thank you to Don McClain. I think, uh,
Petro's precipitation over here monitoring the weather. What do we
got there?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I got this right now. We got hail in Granada Hills,
the home of John Elway. And uh, this just came
in from World Series Champ and friend of the show
College World Series champ and friend of the show. Speed
Up Saltes Glendale Junior College. Vaccaro Baseball at Historic Casey
(38:16):
Stengelfield is delayed thirty minutes. Whoa due to lightning and thunder.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Look at that.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
So when I said it was hailing and rosida, I
meant it.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
And you have all the weather apps. I have them all,
You have them all? Well yesterday reference them all because
of the failures of Apple Weather.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yesterday, Apple Weather said I'm by my On Monday, it
rained all day in Palace Verdies. It was a light rain,
but it was raining. Went out there, And then I
looked at my weather app so enough to the way
they canceled baseball practice for my son. And I looked
at the weather app. And what did it say?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Sonny?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's a lie and that's what it says right now here.
Look at this, Matt, look at this text. We had
a zenchi sushi earlier today. Oh no, it's going to
rain here. Yeah, I know, matth it's been updated. Time
for some text, doso, sir, fine.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
We make it easy. The Japanese have a name for
eating sushi off a naked woman's body. It's called nio timori.
Tell that to your prude sales guy. How do you
like that? Jim got you cut in a little crossfire?
How do you like that?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
What nio timuri?
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Something like that?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Did we both just curse?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You're sure?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
You bozos really need to get after Vassa's ass and
rub your poots all over. His call of wanting the
Dodgers to lose would be a shame. If his best
he Snells Zilla, he almost did. Now.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
In Snell's defense, it was it was a circus behind him.
Wasn't necessarily No, you're blaming in front of him. You're
blaming Max Munsey and Andy pie Has who better clean
it up pretty soon. There's gonna be a little bit
of a switch out there. Oh wow, Matt, I mean,
(40:08):
am I right?
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Case?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Well what about Mookie? He's missed a few plays over
there at short You don't care about that though, huh.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Well he's at least hitting home runs. I mean, you
got piez. What about Max's missile that he that was?
That's what Joel Tony said changed everything last night. It
was Monthsey right. The Dodgers defense has been awful, guys, right,
and it's been lipstick on a pig with Freddie Freeman
and Tommy had been picking up bad throws the first
eight games of this year. The fact that Freddy Freeman
(40:35):
has not won a Gold Glove with the Dodgers is
a joke. And you see what it looks like when
he's not out.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
There exactly, Kiki over there just trying to pick the ball.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
You don't want to respond to my pie has concerned,
I mean the circus and center field just he's dropping balls,
he's getting picked off.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Is like a small mall circus like Circus Vargas or
is it like the Barnum and Bailey circus where you're
at the Staples.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
No, it's a small town try only one that comes
to Burbank and on worse. Yeah, small town circus is worse. Right,
that's a small like me. Here's what I want to know.
How big is the how big is the tent in
center field? Is it a real high top or is
it just a small you know, like there's not much
to seem like that one flyball he caught the other
(41:19):
night late in the game was a bit of a mess.
He made the catch, but it's like, damn dude, you
you know they ruled that a double last night from Alb's.
That was a clear drop in center lead. They ruled
that a double. They ruled it a dubblish because Snell
didn't get charged for the air or he didn't get
charged and earned run though, right, So that's because the airs, Oh.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
I guess because there was an air before that. That's
a good point TEXTO. So hey, pee, I'm in Brentwood.
It's hailing gold bars and pearls. Here's yeah, that must
be from the Malibu fire.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Well, that's a wheelchair guy though, you go to the
Montana side of things, and it's not rain, it's raining. Hail,
it's haley, it's hailing rain. It's hailing rain and raining.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Another day. I got this this morning because the Dodgers
won last night. Another day of Matt's unshowered red algae
seawater balls being dragged across your face. Good morning, Yes, Irin, I.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
Are they going to go one hundred and sixty two?
Speaker 1 (42:18):
And oh?
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I don't know, but they might, they might. It's true, Pe,
if you choose to interact, this is great advice.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
And I wish you know, I wish what I wish
you would step off that ledge, my friend. I wish
you would cut ties.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
With all the lies I tell myself a lot, there's
no doubt, man, how did you know? How did you know?
I've been lying to myself? It's true, p. If you
choose to interact with great sports talk, you must accept
the good and the bad great sports talk. You will
laugh at people being humiliated, but you must accept that
sometimes you yourself will be the one who is humiliated. Man, Wow,
(43:04):
man freaked out, Jam, It's very true. Half inch of
snow in Santa Barbara, half inches snow. It's blowing up
out there.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
The weather machine's doing crazy things today.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
It's a wild deal. And Blake Snell got robbed. His
house in LA didn't get robbed. He got robbed in Seattle,
in his bougie neighborhood in Seattle. So he doesn't really
know what was stolen because he's not up there. He's
with the Dodgers in Philadelphia, like his child at home. No,
that's like his home's like off season home. I guess
Richard Sherman also has a home in the same area
(43:42):
and he was robbed as well. Family was there with guns. Yeah,
we'll see what what happened there. But that's the Blake
Snell situation. As our show continues. I hope Vassay is okay.
You know Vassay last night his home or him him
he himself in Philadelphia. Oh you mean Vassa's okay emotionally right?
(44:06):
With Snell getting robbed, I got you, yeah, and having
a miserable outing. Really the first two have not been great. Well.

Him, Like, what do you mean, like cholesterol?

No, Like you know, he would always roll up and
bring you a shot of five hour Energy and he
would dust one with you. I never drank him though,
but like that was his thing, you know, that was
kind of his You think.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Like Tim Kates celebrating a birthday today, he overdid the
energy drinks and blew out his gall bladder and decided
pet Like if I was reggae Chris, and I was
obsessed with a lot of things. The first obsession that
I had that I would look to knock out is
going to Disneyland every day. Okay, but we're a lot
more accessible. You buy the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
App, you buy a season pass, Well, we're free and exactly.
But then you feel like, I've really got to maximize
the most out of this investment that I've made, and
by going every day for just an hour or two
a day, that really means I'm getting one over on Disney.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I mean my break down the psyche of a listener,
we no longer have contact.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He was a great listener. He is a great one.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Crunchy Groove Nate, former intern now turned into corporate exact
reputable member of society, Yes, which some people have faked
for years. We were just talking about deactly ring to break. Yeah,
and Nate worked his way up the corporate ladder to
middle management. And we're still friends with Nate, who's miserable
now and balding in middle management.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
He was already bolding when he was with us.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, I just made that part up. I don't know,
but Nate is famous for being an early millennial. On
our show to where it was raining and Matt's very
worried about the rain right now, storm alert, right now,
heavy storm alert on k t l A. I love
local news, but I will say that there's a lot
(03:22):
of worry out there.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yes, Nate called Nate's day to intern had arrived. It
was raining outside, and he said he didn't show up.
I'm not coming to work. Called why aren't you here?
That's raining?

He said, it's ready. He said, well, did your car
flood or is there your street flood out? Did somebody
in your neighborhood drown or no? So why aren't you here?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Rain?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Didn't want to drive in the rain, which is like
foreign to us because there was a time living in
La or anywhere else that it could be haling, it
could be terrible fog, carmageddon. Whatever. You were expected to
be wherever you were supposed to be, and you were
expecting to be on times right, nobody wanted to hear
about anything.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I don't carevas hailing, mow the lawn edge it too.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And now these modern day excuses like my way moo
wouldn't drop me off and just kept doing hot laps.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's true, just kept going around in a circle.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Leave us alone, man.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
They're at the Sky Harbor Airport.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It is Tim Kates's birthday today, Tim Kates. Tim celebrating
his birthday by going to the doctor. I don't know
why he would do that on his birthday.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And I scheduled weeks ago, and now.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
He forgot that April third was your birthday. He wasn't thinking, yeah, sure,
no problem, will do it. Then it's just a physical yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
But now he's all angry, you know, because it's like, well,
you know, are you going to go out tonight? He's
like no, I'm gonna have a balanced meal, you know,

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Why do I get the finger and the grabbing cough?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Every year? I go to get my physical because you're
good looking, man, geez, everybody wants a hand on your big.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And I got a big doctor too. He's got big hands.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
As soon as he comes in, I like, like, literally, guy,
he's a great guy. I bet all right, let's make
sure you dis rube everything and then you know, put
the robe on and let's get through it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Here and he goes like this, we could see why
you had that deep voice, can't we there?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You know, in high school and we had to do our
annual physicals. Our doctor that came to Burrows never tested
anybody or like last to grabber. He's always like you
got two of them down there with the with the yep, yep,
I'll sign off on that.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
See mine was different that. That's how they slipped the crack.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Come over here, a little bit closer, a little bit closer.
I'll turn your head and.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Gob, I don't like this, sing me a song, you know.
Growing up, however, I did with the restaurant and stuff.
I found myself as a football a young football player
at CAL and at SC to maybe have some more
life experience in some ways than some of my teammates,
(06:22):
like with the doctor or seeing the ocean sure, or
you know, having read a book or having read or
you know, or you know, be able to have a
few drinks and not confess I killed a guy once.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I played at a different time and when I was
at Cal for the whole summer, we had physicals at
the end of the summer to start football camp for
the freshman and there was a rumor swirling from all
the upper classmen, Reagan Upshaw, people like that recognizable Tony
Gonzalez was on the team. There was rumors swirling that
you know, they're going to give you the finger, and
(07:00):
you know it was in our dorm. It was a
real point of contention. Many of our players, very trepidacious,
don't want There was a lot of talk, sure, and
it was. It was a nice, demure little Asian doctor.
And I've seen her on the side. I saw her
on the sideline of cal for for years. Yes, lovely lady.
And I remember all the talk came to the point
(07:23):
where as a bit of a of a leader or
a mouthpiece, I said, I will go first, I will go,
and I will come back and I'll say what happened. Yeah,
it was basic, it was I remember, I think it
was Lewis Henderson from Long Beach Polly. It was a
few guys waiting, you know, because we were like the
first shift. And I went in and and without a
(07:45):
doubt I was checked properly and professionally in that way.
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Really?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
What are they looking for?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Thoroughly? My whole undercarriage was scoured. You're eighteen, yeah, But
if you got a faulty sack and you're playing, I mean,
if you've got a faulty bunghole and sack and you're
playing in the big game and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You got the piles, man, pet, you got the piles,
you can't play hembroids if you.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Couldn't play with hembroids.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
No one could play the finger at ease.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Not only that, Matt, but when I walked out that
the other gentleman or boys at that time, really we
could tell that I had been violated. And I think
it was Lewis who got up so abruptly and sprinted
out of the doctor's office. He knocked over the magazine
rack and all the pamphlets at cal about you know,
(08:38):
all the progressive things that you could do. And it
was very it was very Uh, it was a big topic.
I don't know if he ever got his physical. He
never played football. You did play football.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't need this.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So Tim decided to spend his birthday doing that, having saddled,
and then he came here and who who but on
his day off callin.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Ye this by the way, what a guy.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Drives up to the Petros and Money Show prep Zone
studio and delivers. I believe it's a.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Cobbler, a Portho's fruit tart? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Guitart?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, a beautiful fruit tart which customized, yes, customized, in
a separate box. What was that case. It's like a
happy birthday chocolate. It was just a happy Birthday, generic,
but then he got a different on the head said
happy birthday, Tim on it put that on there.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So yes, and are you going to go see Hector
at Don Kuco's tonight and celebrate with the family, Tim,
I mean there's gotta be a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
If I can get out of the studio quick enough
and get to Don Kuco's before they close at nine,
then yes, the plan is to go to Don Cucos
said hello to Hector and marry him and everybody up
there until mos the bartender so journie you end up
having an off day from the Dodger m hm, and
you could get out of here at seven they were.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
They asked black More for the night off and Blackmore
said no, no, vass a lands with the Dodgers playing
seven thirty Eastern time. You think he's gonna scramble to
some Philadelphia iHeart studio to do Dodger talk, keep into
the night and of Beverly Love.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You know what I'm drinking?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
You know who he's going out to dinner with tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
By the way, uh Monday, I'm gonna guess Cole Hammils,
Eric carrows Us at dinner.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Oh that's right for that thing that we did that
one day outfield.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, yeah, the whole who's gonna make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I think right or called the Dodgers soft and then
they went on to win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, so e K says, this is our first road trip.
You're buying me dinner. So they're going to dinner tonight
in Philadelphia. Fun.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
They're going to Ben Franklin's restaurant. It's gonna be awesome.
Uh So we're not gonna talk to Vassay. We thought
Tim was gonna get the night off. He is not
gonna get the night off. He's got to do Dodger
talk at eight and then scramble like a scavenger, like
Lewis Henderson, running out of the doctor's office, knocking over magazine.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Rats, over to the don Kuko's other.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
To the kouk to see ector.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, they close at nine. I think I can get
there by eight, ten, maybe fifteen. I think, Yeah, you'll
be fun.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And not only that, but today is Zen She Sushi Day.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, dev.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I don't appreciate what happened. No, I don't either. I
don't neither. This is a reputable show that's run a
certain way.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And we were kind of zen She Sushi is not
our what they call it in our world account, right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Tim Kates endorses zen She Sushi and they're the best,
and we simply do reads. We would do a Dodgers
on deck presented by zen She Sushi would be our involvement,
but we weren't. We weren't paid, we weren't compensated by
Zen She every now and then enthusiastic endorsers, and as
we've said repeatedly on the show, hit up the Ralphs,
(11:53):
get the spicy tune or something there s every time
it's great stuff at the Ralps to get the Zench Sushi.
And today Debra blessed us with her Zenchi's presence, and
she came bearing gifts again.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Three for me, Matt and Kates Zench Sushi roll combos
in a heart shaped box like the Nirvana song.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Exactly right. Fifteen dollars and forty six cents.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Too much sushi for fifteen forty way too much.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
We said, this is bs. You're just putting this price
on here. So we say, this is incredibly affordable compared
to what Quick Serve out Let's charge these days for
not nearly the quality nor quantity of food. Twenty pieces
of sushi in that heart, three different varieties for fifteen
forty six.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, Tim Kates was up there Zen. She sushi ing up.
But I'll say this, And then we were invited by
Tim Kates. He's like, Debra said, hey, bring the guys up.
She loved meeting you guys. We had remember we had
the taste test last year and Don Martin was like,
what is this. I want the mango chill, I want
the chi lay mango with the free though on it.
(13:02):
And we had a whole thing and we talked about
it on the show.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Because we were excited. It was great. We got a
tour of the zench Platter and.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Then Matt and I went up there just now and
we're sitting there having a nice conversation and what does
the sales guy? What does the sales guy say? He says,
it's like he's playing racquetball in a nineteen eighties movie
with some guy during lunch.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He says, first, you know, he knows how to play
the game. He butters us.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Up, you guys are great.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
First fifteen minutes he gave us fifteen minutes on the zenshit.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You guys talked about sushi for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We're like, yeah, it was good. We only talk about
things we like. Debor did a hell of a job
taking us on a tour of all the different varieties
of zen she available at our local grocery.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
So sis, I'm ever gonna get to Asia?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I felt like I was in our bullpen, but I
felt like I was sitting in a cafe in Hong Kong.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And we were excited about that, and we shared our
experience with our listeners. This is what he liked to do, right,
And then he innocently and then he said, I don't
even remember what was said, Kates, do you remember what
was said?
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Vaguely?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Did we say we wanted to mount the sushi?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Did we say something bad? Just the guy was like,
what you guys said was a little risque. Yeah, it
was like, hey, won't you shut up? He said, we
made it. Really he made us uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And then he said, I didn't know whether or not
I should send the air check to her because I
was uncomfortable with how riskue your behavior was and the
turn that the topic took. And then he says, but
I did.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Nobody calls us into a meeting and makes us bleed
her own blood like that.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Matt and Deborah looked at us and said, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeah she did.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
She did, however, qualify and say I wasn't sure if
I should send it to the higher ups, but I did,
and she said they had no man, no response, none,
none like good?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Or bet? Is that good?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Or bet? She goes, I think that's good.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right. I'm just saying, let's break into this dish
of fish. Why does it have to be that way?
Why is it going to be Why does it have
to be like why can't it just be like, hey,
we love that you talked about Zenhi sushi for fifteen
minutes last time we fed you. You guys gonna talk
about it today? Instead, it was well, you guys got
a little loose, and I was like, well, why are
we here then?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
If it was so offensive, what are we doing here
now eating sushi again?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You wouldn't have invited us up here, and she wouldn't
have brought six trays, three of which were for our show.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I should stood up and said, I don't know what
this is, Jim, just some kind of slap on the wrist.
What is this?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
We're not gonna do that. Okay, we're not going to
play the stephen A game about what we would have done,
because what we did do is we took it.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
We did. We took it like cours I would have
stood up. No, we said one more thing.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Because we took it. We allowed Jim to humiliate us.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah we did.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And then we took our sushi and we came downstairs,
and you promptly gave your trail away.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
To be fair, I did, did you really? I was offended.
I ate some of match.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, we split it here. There's no way we were
gonna eat dust one of those. It was too much food.
Too much food for fifteen dollars and forty six cents.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What a value?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, way too much food. I had to share mine too.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's your birthday case. You can get away with eating
at least a third of that fruit tart and an
entire tray of Zenci sushi. You've earned it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
If that guy said one more thing, man, I was
gonna flip the table. Be like prostitution horror and flip
the table.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was incredibly risque.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
And that's incredibly risque. What did we say?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Understand?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And then Matt tried to make He tried to lie
and say, oh, yeah, that was upe.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I remember you said you said you wanted to that.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, and then no, now listening, now, listen, now, this
is gonna get played again. The history is repeating itself, Matt.
World War One is a little bit of history repeating.
World War One becomes World War two. We didn't learn
our lesson, did we? But see that's millions have to die.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And everybody has whatever line of work you're in. We
all have the department and for us it's sales where
they're slick. Man, they're slick. They're a little slimy, a
little smarmy. We appreciate them.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I don't trust the cut of their Jim.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Jim thinks he's smarter than us.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I don't like the cars those guys drive.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
He just think for some idiot sports talkers, he can
play this game on a higher level and be like, Okay,
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say, hey, that
fifteen minutes was great, but it was a little riskue
And then that way they're gonna do the fifteen minutes,
but they won't do the risk a part. And I'm
gonna get an a plus plush sound check and it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Be amazing, wrong, Jim.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Instead, you're getting called out, Jim telling us we were.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
We're not just a Neon Miller light side at your
bar that you could turn on and turn off when
you want. We're breathing flesh eating men.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You sign up for petros and money and you get
the whole thing, the whole inch alat thing.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
This escalated quickly. Yeah I did.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I did like that, Kates. You know what I would
have done. I would have put soy sauce in a
squirt gun. And then she got up shot right his
I it was we had a great time. We had
a great time with this zen sh We did.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
We did. But then Joel, I think, was upset with
the tray that I selected for us. What do you mean,
because he like tried to push the tray, a certain
tray on me, like a poison. It's like, hey, here
you go take this down with you. This is for you.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
You tried to poison.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I grabbed one to my right instead, and he said, verbatim,
are you gonna take that one? It's like, yeah, I'm
gonna take this one. Why, what's the big deal? Oh yeah,
I just you know, yeah, I'm taking this one. This
is the one I'm taking. I didn't know you got
into a fight with act Oh. I didn't, but it
was just an odd response to when I grabbed that,
He's like, oh, that's the one you want. Yeah, And
(18:54):
we consumed it and it was delicious. We had a
little bit of a soy sauce accident. But outside of that,
I thought, I went, great, what do you mean a
soy sauce accident? I meant to do that, soak your
papers and all soy sauce. I used it as a plate.
We didn't have plates, we didn't have chopsticks. We had
(19:14):
with sabi. We had soy sauce. And so I would
say the the prep zone, it got a little salty.
I may have dripped a liberal amount of soy sauce
on the carpet that will not be steam clean anytime soon.
In the Taylor swift room, no oh, in the dog
in the prep zone, well, let me just say this,
(19:35):
they could have gotten a lot uglier in there. It
could have.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Thank god, cool their heads prevailed. You know, you guys
were a little risque.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Sat there when talking about you guys just sat there,
warri it. I was like, where the fight from Petro
some money? I don't know if we didn't just sit
there and what do we say? I mean we said
to deb like, wait a minute, what was sai? Well
I turned and said, but still we're here today. That's
what I said. Basically, your words are meaningless, salt and pepperhead,
But you know I'd rather have your head than.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Dave Weez, Happy birthday, Tim, Thanks Matt. And you wonder
why we have a hate list. Nobody likes us. I mean,
you know what, thoughbody, we didn't deserve that. We didn't
deserve to go in there. They say, here's some sushi.
But what you guys did seven months ago, I don't
(20:29):
like it? Little risque.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You don't say, did we talk about the naked sushi
like the chicks? That are a trade?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That's what it was. That's what it was like.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
We would ender the room and expected to have a
chick laid out right. Well, isn't that a Japanese delicacy.
Isn't that just embracing the culture.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
It's more like a Diddy party.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Actually, I mean maybe not OnlyFans or no, it's a
very common thing. Naked sushi tray person, very common, very
very totally. I bet we could order one right now.
We could have it here, and it's Tim's birthday. By
our final hour, we could be eating sushi off some
naked lady.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's exactly what it was. You had mentioned pulling yellowtail
off an ass cheek.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
They're usually legging face up. We did a face down.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
One right there in the crack.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
We got two little dimples. Well too, was Sabi bulls
here at the dimples.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I don't know what to tell you. I'm an ass man.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Put it on the backside. Turn over, sweetie. Ah. I
hate everybody so much, they hate us. Why can't we
just go eat sushi and have a peaceful day.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Man, if he would have said one more thing.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
If he said, I would have been like, hey, man,
you buddy. You know I didn't even realize he did
something wrong until like five minutes later, when you and
Tim were like, hey, why do you say that? And
I was like, yeah, man, why do you say that? Now?
I'm living now, I've never been more offended in my life.
I'd take offense, I take umbrage.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And he's now in our new boss, Brian Long's office,
like you see.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
You see what it's like to work with these guys.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, Yeah, welcome to the rodeo.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Jim, all right, we'll be right back with Don McClain.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Sorry, Tim, if it's if it was our account, none
of us would be happening.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
We'd be fired.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, by the fact that it's Tim's account.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Tim's right on the border.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Now, if it was your account, you guys, you're right, Jim,
we went over the top.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You're right over the tab. What was it exactly that
I said? I will hone in myself immediately, all real
them and Jim, I'm sorry. Sometimes I let Hi get
a little aboust had a mouthful of tunerole, you know,
I just took some of the hobby and just shove
it on my pants.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Icy.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh god. All right. Don McClain is next.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Go until seven pm. A full four hour show. Dodger
Baseball returns tomorrow. Dodger Sphillis first pitch at three forty
five pm.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
It is time for the BFF of the Petrusen Money Show,
a beloved member of the LA Sports media and beyond
Big Ten Network. FS one c A a fan duel
sports Clipper broadcast the Great Don McClay, leading scorer in
the history of the pack. Twell, the next ass he
kisses will be the first. And I wasn't gonna rain later.
(23:42):
I tell you to go over to eleven Park and
see me Valley and stand underneath that statue in Marvel
and it's greatness. It's gonna dump Johnny Us right now home.
I'm your southern California. Tell you to do a celebrity hotlight.
It is Don McClain, Petros and money. What's dragging? Don?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
How are you wait?
Speaker 6 (24:03):
It's supposed to rain later?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah? Yeah, it's a I the storm snuck up on
everybody like a guy. Yeah, like a guy that crouches
down behind you and then somebody comes and pushes you over.
It's that kind of storm.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
So keep me like the guy. You mean, the guy
like like the guy at the Clipper game last night
that was standing literally two inches behind me with his
photo with his camera shooting the court from two inches
behind me.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
You mean kind of.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Like that, Yes, just like that, resting his crouch on
your very wide shoulders. Yes, Don, yes, yeah. Before we
get into the local pro teams, Don, you've got your
stuff going on, right, you start your big pro camp
next week. I know this. We tried to get you
in to host a show, but you start your very
busy season with the draft. Is there anything you could
(24:51):
tell us about that or should we move on?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
No?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
We started. We still have three guys that are coming
out that are playing in the Final four, Flag, Proct
and Broom Whoa Whoa. So it's gonna trickle in, you know.
Liam McNeely started today actually, and then they'll start trickling in.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
We're gonna have a big group this year.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Danny Wolf's coming in. You know a lot of guys
that that you know, people I think know who they are.
So I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be a lot.
We're gonna have multiple groups, which sometimes we do, sometimes
we don't, but for sure it's gonna be multiple groups
this year. So it'll be a lot, but it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I saw a thing today some NBA Scouts, anonymous scouts.
One compared Cooper Flag to Scottie Pippen, another to Kawhi Leonard,
and another to Jason Tatum. What is that crazy? Is
that what we're witnessing? Is that what we're gonna watch?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I think? So what happened with Flag?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
He's been here the last couple of summers, and I
think what's surprised a lot of people, including me, is
how well he shot it this year. I still think
mechanically he's got some things that we're going to talk
about and work on that need to speed up. But
it went in more than I think people thought, and
I think that changed the narrative of him. I think
the biggest comp heading into this year at Duke was
Andre Carolinko ak forty seven, just kind of a long athletic,
(26:12):
really good defender, good player, but not really the offensive player.
And I think he proved this year that he's a
much better offensive player than people.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Think, and I think that'll continue to evolve.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
So those three guys you said, I'm not sure he's
going to be exactly like any of them, but I
do think that he is going to be a multi
time All Star before this is all said, now, I'll
tell you this, and this is something like this intel
that I get in doing this really tells me more
than what I'm watching on the court. John Schier told
(26:43):
somebody that I was talking to the head coach at
Duke that Cooper Flagg is the best teammate he's ever
been around.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
In his life.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Geez.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
So think of how widely regarded he is as a
player and just watching him play for the head coach
of his team to say that, and John Hires been around,
he won a national championship with Duke too. Like that
to me is why he's going to be one of
those guys that's just an All NBA guy every year.
Just that he's going to be that guy.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Don are you looking forward to the final? I mean,
I know you got guys that you're going to watch
and it's worked for you. But I mean it's it's
no Vcus or George Mason's or or anything like that.
I mean, the same people that are lamenting the four
one seeds are the same that pushed for the nil.
But does it not make it make it as exciting
(27:34):
for you or or how do you feel it?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
I think the other way, Pee, I think you probably
had the best four teams. Yeah they were one seeds,
but I think you had the four best teams, and
I think that makes for better basketball, like more competitive.
It's not a Cinderello. If they get hot, they might
be able to knock them off. No, this is the
four best teams. Let's get it on and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
How give a deal is it that three of them?
And I know, like in the case of with which
and I broom. I mean, he's a guy that transferred
a few years back from Morehead State kind of thing.
But you look at the way Houston's constructed. Is it
a big deal that Duke is kind of relying heavily
on these freshmen versus these other teams that use the
portal to get their best players.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
It's a great question, Matt. Somebody asked me that a
couple of days ago, too. Well, here's the thing. All
of college basketball is trying to get old. I'm watching
it with my own two eyes right now because Trent's
somewhat involved in it. Everybody they don't care about young.
They just want old. They figure in Houston, by the way,
I think, their youngest players twenty three years old. So
(28:40):
their idea is our twenty three and twenty four year
olds will beat your eighteen, nineteen and twenty year olds,
which kind of is true until you run into Duke.
My eighteen nineteen twenty year olds are more talented than
your twenty three and twenty four year olds, so the
age gap is closed by how much talent we have.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I really believe.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Duke's gonna win the thing because they're just better than
the other three teams. They have better players, more talented players.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
The one and only Don McClain is our guest on
M five seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers.
We also got the Clippers. They host the MAVs tomorrow.
Pregame is at six thirty. Things are wrapping up at
the beautiful Into It Dome before we get into that
and this playoff picture down the stretch. I mean, everybody
(29:29):
knows how tight the West is, but man, it's kind
of hard to follow her or figure where people are
gonna end up when it's so damn tight, like this
isn't it?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Well, it's hard to keep track of and the only
ones I know are the Clippers. But it's hard to
keep track of who has all the tie breakers because
it's so close.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You don't know.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
There's teams that could could dump a game at the
end of the year, and you say, well, why would
they live it? Well, it doesn't matter because they have
the tiebreaker.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And so the.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Clippers have the tiebreaker over the Warriors and the Grizzlies,
but not the te Wolves, and so we've been talking
a lot about that on our show of what's going
to happen coming down the home stretch. Obviously, everybody wants
to be in the top six. They don't want to
be in the playing game. But I said this. I
didn't say it last night, but I said it before.
Think of this scenario of who two through five are?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Okay, you got.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Houston, the Lakers, Denver, and Golden State. Would you risk
playing a one game game playing game?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
The reward would.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Be you get Houston. Now if you lose that game
and you win the next one, now you got Okay. See,
and that's not good. But my point is this race
to the sixth seed, well you're getting either the Lakers
or the Nuggets. So it's kind of an interesting situation
and an interesting question. Would you risk playing a one
game playing to get the Rockets versus getting the Lakers?
(30:52):
Are Nuggets? Kind of an interesting thought?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What was that? What was the year that it was
the Clippers I think right that got accused of paying
because they wanted to face the Was it the Nuggets
or what? And sure enough they made easy work of
that first round opponent. I think it was the year
they lost to the Suns after having that three to
one lead or something like that. So it's not like
it's out of the question. I mean, teams have done
this before, and it would make like you asked the
(31:16):
question down. I think it makes perfect sense to get
the young Rockets, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
But the problem is you're risked what happens if something
happens in that one game play And that's the difference.
It's not just straight one through eight anymore. You have
to get play that playing game. And we've seen over
the member line. Was it two years ago the Clippers
were in the play in and PG got COVID the
day before and they lost the play in and missed
the playoffs. So it's a little dicey saying yeah, we'll
(31:43):
do that to get the Rockets. But anything can happen
in a one game series, for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Do you think the Lakers are built to win a
multiple series in these playoffs? They have some flaws, but
they seem to be playing pretty well.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
They more and more they see look like they're going
to be able to win. I'm not saying they're going to,
but I believe in it more now than I did
when they first got Luca. But that's that's probably an
obvious thing to say, because they needed to incorporate him
and him and Lebron to figure each other out and
what the rotations were and how you were going to
stagger Minnettes and all that. But yeah, I do think
(32:18):
they can, and I think they've proven it here the
last month or so.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
We talk about the you know, the Lakers. Now that
they get Luca, they take off. The Warriors get Jimmy Butler,
they take off. Is it safe to say that maybe
the Clippers acquired a much more healthy Kawhi Leonard and
that's why they've now taken off and should be a
team that's looked at a little bit differently because of
maybe like the level of play that he's kind of
experiencing right now.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I do.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I do think that, Matt, and I'm not saying this
just because I do the show every night or most nights.
I do think that the Clippers can make a run.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I really do.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
And this was the plan the whole time, was to
make sure that Kawhi was right right now, not in January,
non February, right now, And the Clippers I think came
together once Norman Powell came back from injury and they
had their whole group. They have looked completely different, and
Kawhi is a big part of that. But I think
Pale being back and this was always the thing that.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
They were going to do.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
And we'll see how it plays out once we get
to the playoffs. But yeah, they're they're they're.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Playing really well right now.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
The Clippers just one last thing for me. Don have
you ever I don't. I can't remember, except for maybe
the Warriors that year they ended up with the first
pick with Weisman, But I don't remember there being a
team like Philly that was so below what expect I mean,
they were expected to challenge for a title and they're
one of the five worst teams in the league this year.
If do you remember anything this bad like that?
Speaker 6 (33:44):
No, but I mean you lose EMBIID and PG. I mean, yeah,
you're gonna be one of the worst teams in the league.
Now Maxi's out for the rest of the year. Yeah, No,
I can't. I can't remember that, but you know, you
bring it up, Matt, So it's we're talking about that.
This is why there's so much talk and so much
about resting guys in load management. And making not rushing
(34:06):
guys back from injury, because if you're injured, you're done
in the NBA. And Philly, You're right, the expectations were
sky high before the season started. When they got our
sign pd MB looked like he had. MB had a
pretty good Olympic, so you thought maybe he lost weight.
So you're like, okay, here we go and they couldn't
stay healthy and here they are in the lottery again.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Don McClain, our hero. What do you make of the
Adaimara story? If anything done?
Speaker 6 (34:34):
I heard you guys talking about that yesterday. I highly
doubt that those were real demands. I highly doubt that.
And if they were, it was basically he was too
afraid to tell.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Him he was leaving exactly, but because he.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Knew if those if those really were demands, he knew
the answers to those demands, and so I'm just that's
my way of saying I'm leaving.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
It kind of felt like the universal feeling amongst all
those guys was they wanted to run it back, and
Marrow was the same way, and then it changed. How
bad is that? I mean, where do you think you'll
end up?
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Well, here's the thing, Pete And again, I know I've
talked about it a lot the last couple of weeks,
but this money is out of control. And I don't
know what UCLA was offering him for him to stay,
but I guarantee you it's going to be more somewhere else.
And that's not a knock on UCLA because I heard
what they paid for Donovan Dent. But there's only so
much money. And I think there's a lot of people,
(35:33):
especially in the Big Ten and talking to coaches and
people around the league this year, that really liked to
Die Mara, So I wouldn't be surprised if somebody threw
a bunch of money at him. And that's why he
ended up leaving, not because he didn't like the players
on the team or Mick Cronin or what, just that
the money's too good. And you're seeing that that guys
(35:55):
want to stay, but you can't, like literally, you can't
leave a million dollars on the table just because you
want to stay out of school.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
You can't.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Yeah, So it's like that's that's that's what we're dealing
with now, and that's why you're seeing all this movement.
So many guys in the port. It's like this is
this is family changing money.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Really, Matt and I would know each other's arms off
right now. You just heard us right now. No, you
can't leave that money.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
On the table.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
You gotta go, gotta go in hell, Kansas is probably
gonna pay him six million bucks. The amount of money
you here they're throwing around.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Holy hell, Yeah, it's I've told you guys last week,
didn't I that if you're a rotation player top eight
in a Power for school, you're getting a half a
million dollars minimum. Gee, So you're telling me this guy
is getting paid a half a million dollars and he's
not even gonna start.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah he is, Oh, all.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Right, okay, well inflation it's really really hitting basketball this year.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, Don, you're the greatest. Thank you for the great
interview as always, and we'll talk to you next week.
And good luck with the rain. Good luck with the rain,
and good luck with your endeavor. It's already hailing, and Recita,
protect your neck, yes, no, look, yes, yes, yeah, look
out the window, guys, it's coming. It's just cloud.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Thank you, Don. The ominous clouds have arrived in Burbank.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It is hailing, and Reciita I have a report. Yeah,
and somebody robs Smell last night while he was getting
his boobs ripped off.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
No way, Yeah, Chilean gang. Spitzer's been trying to get
them out for a while now.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Trend de agua. We'll be right back with more pets.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Somebody big thank you to Don McClain. I think, uh,
Petro's precipitation over here monitoring the weather. What do we
got there?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I got this right now. We got hail in Granada Hills,
the home of John Elway. And uh, this just came
in from World Series Champ and friend of the show
College World Series champ and friend of the show. Speed
Up Saltes Glendale Junior College. Vaccaro Baseball at Historic Casey
(38:16):
Stengelfield is delayed thirty minutes. Whoa due to lightning and thunder.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Look at that.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
So when I said it was hailing and rosida, I
meant it.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
And you have all the weather apps. I have them all,
You have them all? Well yesterday reference them all because
of the failures of Apple Weather.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yesterday, Apple Weather said I'm by my On Monday, it
rained all day in Palace Verdies. It was a light rain,
but it was raining. Went out there, And then I
looked at my weather app so enough to the way
they canceled baseball practice for my son. And I looked
at the weather app. And what did it say?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Sonny?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's a lie and that's what it says right now here.
Look at this, Matt, look at this text. We had
a zenchi sushi earlier today. Oh no, it's going to
rain here. Yeah, I know, matth it's been updated. Time
for some text, doso, sir, fine.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
We make it easy. The Japanese have a name for
eating sushi off a naked woman's body. It's called nio timori.
Tell that to your prude sales guy. How do you
like that? Jim got you cut in a little crossfire?
How do you like that?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
What nio timuri?
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Something like that?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Did we both just curse?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You're sure?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
You bozos really need to get after Vassa's ass and
rub your poots all over. His call of wanting the
Dodgers to lose would be a shame. If his best
he Snells Zilla, he almost did. Now.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
In Snell's defense, it was it was a circus behind him.
Wasn't necessarily No, you're blaming in front of him. You're
blaming Max Munsey and Andy pie Has who better clean
it up pretty soon. There's gonna be a little bit
of a switch out there. Oh wow, Matt, I mean,
(40:08):
am I right?
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Case?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Well what about Mookie? He's missed a few plays over
there at short You don't care about that though, huh.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Well he's at least hitting home runs. I mean, you
got piez. What about Max's missile that he that was?
That's what Joel Tony said changed everything last night. It
was Monthsey right. The Dodgers defense has been awful, guys, right,
and it's been lipstick on a pig with Freddie Freeman
and Tommy had been picking up bad throws the first
eight games of this year. The fact that Freddy Freeman
(40:35):
has not won a Gold Glove with the Dodgers is
a joke. And you see what it looks like when
he's not out.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
There exactly, Kiki over there just trying to pick the ball.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
You don't want to respond to my pie has concerned,
I mean the circus and center field just he's dropping balls,
he's getting picked off.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Is like a small mall circus like Circus Vargas or
is it like the Barnum and Bailey circus where you're
at the Staples.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
No, it's a small town try only one that comes
to Burbank and on worse. Yeah, small town circus is worse. Right,
that's a small like me. Here's what I want to know.
How big is the how big is the tent in
center field? Is it a real high top or is
it just a small you know, like there's not much
to seem like that one flyball he caught the other
(41:19):
night late in the game was a bit of a mess.
He made the catch, but it's like, damn dude, you
you know they ruled that a double last night from Alb's.
That was a clear drop in center lead. They ruled
that a double. They ruled it a dubblish because Snell
didn't get charged for the air or he didn't get
charged and earned run though, right, So that's because the airs, Oh.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
I guess because there was an air before that. That's
a good point TEXTO. So hey, pee, I'm in Brentwood.
It's hailing gold bars and pearls. Here's yeah, that must
be from the Malibu fire.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Well, that's a wheelchair guy though, you go to the
Montana side of things, and it's not rain, it's raining. Hail,
it's haley, it's hailing rain. It's hailing rain and raining.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Another day. I got this this morning because the Dodgers
won last night. Another day of Matt's unshowered red algae
seawater balls being dragged across your face. Good morning, Yes, Irin, I.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
Are they going to go one hundred and sixty two?
Speaker 1 (42:18):
And oh?
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I don't know, but they might, they might. It's true, Pe,
if you choose to interact, this is great advice.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
And I wish you know, I wish what I wish
you would step off that ledge, my friend. I wish
you would cut ties.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
With all the lies I tell myself a lot, there's
no doubt, man, how did you know? How did you know?
I've been lying to myself? It's true, p. If you
choose to interact with great sports talk, you must accept
the good and the bad great sports talk. You will
laugh at people being humiliated, but you must accept that
sometimes you yourself will be the one who is humiliated. Man, Wow,
(43:04):
man freaked out, Jam, It's very true. Half inch of
snow in Santa Barbara, half inches snow. It's blowing up
out there.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
The weather machine's doing crazy things today.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
It's a wild deal. And Blake Snell got robbed. His
house in LA didn't get robbed. He got robbed in Seattle,
in his bougie neighborhood in Seattle. So he doesn't really
know what was stolen because he's not up there. He's
with the Dodgers in Philadelphia, like his child at home. No,
that's like his home's like off season home. I guess
Richard Sherman also has a home in the same area
(43:42):
and he was robbed as well. Family was there with guns. Yeah,
we'll see what what happened there. But that's the Blake
Snell situation. As our show continues. I hope Vassay is okay.
You know Vassay last night his home or him him
he himself in Philadelphia. Oh you mean Vassa's okay emotionally right?
(44:06):
With Snell getting robbed, I got you, yeah, and having
a miserable outing. Really the first two have not been great. Well.
Vassay asked dustin May two questions about Dust about Blake Snell,
and a follow up the other night, like, hey, is
smell like you thought he was? And Dustin May was like, yeah,
(44:29):
exactly like I Yeah, but a lot of people don't
know how great he is. Yeah, no, he's like I thought,
are you sure though, cause he's pretty great. Hey man,
I just threw five scoreless?
Speaker 4 (44:39):
All right?
Speaker 3 (44:40):
And that was that conversation. Uh So we'll have more
on that word number, song of the day. We'll have
a minor sports stories in great sports Talk. We know
it's Sonny in Orange County, but there's a stormheaded your
way and you're all gonna be miserable. That guy looks
like a bird. Stop sending me texts that say it's
Sonny and Anaheim. Stop sending me text saying things are
(45:01):
great down here in coach Ta Mesa. Because the rain
and hail and the wrath of God is coming. They're
feeding it right now in Ohi and all over the
San Fernando Valley. Brace yourself and get ready and turn
on the aviary. Like weather Man on Channel.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Five, I think he looks like the blue Jay from
Regular Show. Maybe that's what it is and why I
think he looks like a bird.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
You've got a sam thing eagle to him, no doubt.
We'll be back on seventy LA Sports
