Petrousen Money. Hey, I'm five to seventy LA Sports Live

day Dodger Baseball against the A's is back.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh, it's back back back tonight Dodgers on back at
Sex Patch. Your breath, brother, whoa first pitch? It's seven ten?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know you think you have the fancy sock that's
supposed to cover the microphone so when I talk it
doesn't sound like this, like I'm cooking it well. And uh,
you know, you get here, you sit down, you're all settled,
you're ready for the show to start, and you look
around and you can't find that little black piece of
foam that makes your voice sound so sweet superb zone.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, well, Matt, there's nothing better than your voice to me.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh yeah, that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, the pipes, the pipes, It is a show, hal
Toddy Bobblehead Night fifty to fifty celebration of Otami.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
That there's big news around that that we got to share.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Stealing second base in the picture, sliding and acting cool
and Matt, this usually sparks a great deal of chaos
in our town. It usually brings out the worst in humanity,
you know what I mean. Yeah, like when one of
your friends leins the lottery and now we have a

(02:13):
public service announce.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
And God blessed the Dodgers for recognizing this. Now, it
maybe took them two bobbleheads too long, and maybe because
you're out.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Maybe because they are so wealthy, they they could do
it with every bobble ahead. But you know, I'm getting
ahead of.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
The airport, so before the Chavez Ravine area of Los
Angeles on a Shoheo Tani bobblehead night would be hammered
by traffic, by hangers on, by loiterers, folks standing around
freaks making sure they get one of the first forty thousand. Right,

(02:52):
So about fifteen people are gonna get shut out.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Reminded me of a usc football game, like an hour
before kickoff in the nineteen eighties in and around the
Los Angeles Coliseu.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, just gridlock. It's just complete redlock, total grid breeks
and total death. Yes, And that's what it became. And
because they didn't want to make fifty five thousand bibble heads,
they made forty thousand bibble heads. And I'll be damned
if I'm going to be one of the fifteen left
empty handed. So people would start lining up at seven
eight am in the morning and just wrecking that part

(03:27):
of town, Sunset Boulevard, the one ten, the backside on
your way up a stadium, way off a rubber side,
all of it.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Frog Town. People couldn't even breathe Ilesion.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Heights, just disaster disaster.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
At the Barlow Respiratory Hospital, people couldn't get their their
their proper care.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
It became strife and discord at the gates. You know,
you got a little bit of a press going up
again like you're like, it's a general admission, big compounds
or to Metallica, and you got a soccer game.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
We can't have it.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
So they were able to make fifty five thousand. Tonight's
fifty to fifty, not steven, but fifty to fifty O
Tani bobblehead signifying his fifty home run fifty stolen based
season last year. Him sliding is the pose the head bobbles,
not the arm or the leg or anything like that.
It's it's a bobblehead. It will be available to every

(04:20):
single person that comes through the gate, one per person,
by the way, So don't be showing up with five
tickets saying I want five for each one of these tickets.
That ain't how it works. You got two hands, you
get one bobblehead and that's all. Now you've got three hands,
maybe they'll give you two.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
I just got a shout out from Alicia del vae
on the secret Textoso line.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
With seven texts, a line brought to you by your
sokel Toyota dealers.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
We make it easy. Fraudtown, fool.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
That was the shout out front humpfu, exactly right, beautiful man.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's a wonderful day to be on the air. Mynful day,
mile my, what a wonderful day. That's gonna be a
great night. It'll be packed out there. It's a bullpen game.
And really, you know, not to sound like a like
a douche, but it is well, I mean it is uh,
it is pretty remarkable, the just the level of I mean,

(05:14):
we lived through Mannywood and I was around when Nomo
was twisting, uh at, so were you. And of course
you know the World Series of the eighties and we
we remember many things around here, but the impact of
Shoe a Otani seems to be a yeah, it's it's

(05:35):
gotta be the most well rounded global impact that I've
ever seen an athlete have on anything in my lifetime.
And it's just mind boggling that he was lighting up
the halo right down.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
The street for six years.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, and you can say, okay, covid and his first
year was okay, okay, four years he won.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
High school like he's not even pitching. He's not pitching.
He was pitching. He was the best pitcher in baseball
and the best hitter in baseball. For four of those
six years in Anaheim, and it's like it it didn't
even happen. It wasn't even an event as far as
the Los Angeles, the Greater Los Angeles are now, people

(06:23):
in Orange County are gonna get all but hurt and
they're gonna be like, oh, totally big deal down here.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well yeah yeah? But was there was there a crush
at the Catch in Anaheim? I know it's closed now.
And the Hooters in Anaheim, I don't know if that's
Lucky Dog, the Lazy Dog, the j James Schmid, Like,
are are those places teaming with folks when the they're

(06:49):
probably all clues?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, they got the big train station there, now that's
pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I mean not just wondering, you know the BJS we
go to on the back side of it on the
city drive, Like, is that are they teeming with folks?
When there was Otani Bobblehead Night, did it bring a
massive economic boost to the entire area, retail and beyond
because Otani existed? I think not.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh, the islet said Orange had never been so backed.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Did a gigantic bus load or five of Asian tourists
roll up to the Clubhouse store every day during off
hours and road trips, and spend three hundred dollars a
piece at least on Otani paraphernalia. Period. I probably not
period period. Ever seen anything like it period. I'm not

(07:40):
with people wearing dreadlocks out in the out like many would. No, not,
that was cool. The gannet shirt with the little beard
coming out made it look like your pubes. That was cool.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
That was a good one. Nothing like this.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
It's just not the same.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
And you don't have to line up today. That's why
we're doing this. David Veasse put it on his Twitter.
He's gonna us a little bit later in the show,
around five point thirty to set the scene.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Hunkered down next to your Pontiac Bonneville and fromtown, smoking
a cigarette with your wife being around for a little
while longer, and then you're making your way up the hill.
You go back up on the hill, and that would
be Chavez Reviet.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Indeed, So don't rush unless you want to and you
feel like hanging out for four hours exactly, Yes, you
want to four hours from now. First pitch from the
gallupin Motors Broadcast booth seven ten pm. Uh, there are
already people there. There are we have that on good authorities,
which is people. Yes, it's not smart. You don't need
to do that. Get a chance.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's not like you're gonna get one of the Easter
egg charger video o Tadi bobbleheads either, No, worry's sliding
into a base that looks like an apple pie or something.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
I don't know what the uh, she'll.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now have a thousand of them or so right, the
special ones with a different.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I don't know. But just because you line up early
doesn't mean you're going to get one of us, one
of the special ones, right, So it doesn't it doesn't
make a difference.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Remember when der call back in the day to date
myself here, as someone who really loved going to see
live music, I would regularly go to concerts and concerts
that were in high demand. You would line up for
you know, five six hours.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Oh yeah at the music plus yeah. You of course,
I know where you used to get yours, your secret place.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Rito Latino.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
But then the lines got to be so bad that
they stopped doing it in order, and they started saying, hey,
we are going to hand out wristbands, oh yeah, yea,
And then at ten am. We're going to pull which
number lines up first, and then you will get in
order sequentially behind number, like one hundred and forty four

(09:52):
is now number one. Now, everybody get back in line.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
I remember that's how men like Barry from Barry's Tickets
built their impody.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yes, they would get three hundred people in that line,
so they would get the first ten slots, buy all
the tickets. Yeah, I mean that's that's what it was.
And that's exactly kind of what the Dodgers finally came
around to, like, we've got too many people in line.
It's destroying business. People are freaking out. People can't get in,
So please heed this call.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Maybe do it for every bobblehead. It's just the thought.
Maybe maybe do it for every single bobblehead. We do
have some information regarding our questions regarding the time spent
in Anaheim at these places may or may not exist anymore.
Secret text also line brought to you by fine.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
We make it easy. Big a Hooters is now a
pretty kitty waxing studio.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh well, I don't know. Is that a drooper? Is
that horns because they put us in That magnifying guy
nearly killed us. It could be a joe, but no,
I think it is closed. I think almost all.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I know it's closed, but I don't know if it's
a waxing stiff got you?

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
The lazy dog is still there? How dare you desecrate
those happy hour margaritas.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
And that little uh, that little plastic container of licorice
and fruit loops for the kids on the way out?

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Are you ready to be sad? Just an FYI? JT.
Schmids is no longer there. It has been knocked down.
Everyone knew that restaurant was a goner. They hauled it
away in a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
That's too bad. There was never a better parking lot
that displayed the admiration and addiction to monster trucks in
Orange County as J. T. Schmid's when the ducks were cooking,
when the ducks were like winning Stanley Cups and stuff.
Oh Matt, it was monster trucks and.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
That was a real Orange County to do the hot
the fox racing stickers, metal necklaces, bicycle chain necklaces. Unbelievable
cultural clash out there. But anyway, the Dodgers will play
the Angels after the A's are in town. It is

(12:14):
a bullpen game tonight. Dalton Rushing is gonna catch, and
everybody's seen catch. That is true, Matt. That is the
report at a Dodger stadium. Dalton Rushing is gonna catch.
How quickly we forget about Austin Barnes. Yesterday supposed to
be a day of lamentation for Austin Barnes. Instead we

(12:35):
went on a long and winding road of talking about
Austin Barnes's replacements. Legs, the legs and ass of rushing,
which isn't even his most prominent feature. It's his mustak.
He's got a big mustak, so big mustache, so oh god,

(12:56):
even bigger bummer, Matt J. T. Schmid, the owner passed away.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
That is a bummer.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Now, maybe that's a lie. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I have a Hooters was replaced by Solita Tacos and Margharita.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
All right, well, that sounds like a place we could
get behind.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's also permanently closed.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Okay, we were to get all the way behind it
back to the freeway, I guess.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Cparently not a great location. I guess they have Holy
Rollly ice cream in there. Aleppo's Kitchen Mediterranean sounds like
maybe your people.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
No it is not.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
I believe that's your people in a coffee shop called
La mill and Solita's Tacos permanently closed.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
That's a shame. Yeah, we had some good times in Anaheim, Matt,
we really, you know, it's it's wrong to turn our
back on our Anaheim past.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
It was there, Listen, I know we did did shows
in lot g uh and it was borderline.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I know what you're thinking of. And the answer is no,
there was nothing worse, nothing Worse's worse.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
No, this was this was the worst. We did multiple
shows on the sidewalk in front of the entrance, like
not even the VIP entrance or where there was the
main out on the street, just out on the street.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Like where they would drop a delivery box.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Right exactly, like just a steel door that went into
a random staircase of the Honda Center. We did multiple
shows at a card table in an empty parking lot
because nobody gave a good goddamn about the ducks, and
yet we were out there five six times.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
They're gonna win a title.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yes, they are very exciting. Brian Burt came out, was
very kind with his time. We talked to everybody, talked
to everybody. They came out to see us, but they wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Try our best. But we were not allowed in the building. No,
and we didn't really want to be in there either.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was very It was a very strange time.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, I don't know why. I just accepted it, right,
Just like.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
How looking back on that, how was it that we
were like, yeah, this is this is normal.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
I mean I have an excuse. I was in my twenties.
You have no excuse. Yeah, this is normal.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
And show on parking lot sidewalk.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
It did not feel normal, which is unfortunate. The ELTEREDO
uh that with with the with the hole yeah the bulls,
butthole pointing toward Angel Stadium is also gone. So I
don't know what happened. You know, you can't say it's
because Otani left. Otani was there and all those places closed.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah he's gone, still closed.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Matt what I
had a conversation with Isabelle yesterday and she was very
very keen on having me tell you that. We had
a conversation, oh so much so that. I just got
a text that says, don't forget to tell my we
talked yesterday.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, I'm jealous. I wish I would have had the
opportunity to talk to her, but I believe I've blocked
her number, so I never have the opportunity to talk
to her, and I don't know how to get it back.
I've not been able to figure.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
That out yet.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Don't forget the Phoenix Gun Club next to next door
to the Honda Center. It has its own BB gun
range rip. It's gone.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Damn tell you that it's gone as well.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Man, that's sad, man, wow, man freaked out. So we
are going to talk to James Worthy about very exciting
NBA playoffs for he has contracted with the Petrosen Money
Show all the way through the NBA.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Playoffs, Yeah, through the finals, just in case the Lakers
or Clippers made it that far, we'd have our James
Worthy to break it all down every single Thursday. And
that was not the case, No, alas each of them unswelled,
the Clipper, well yeah, each of them unceremoniously booted from
the postseason. The Clippers in humiliating fashion into Game seven,

(17:13):
and the Lakers just in humiliating fashion. Period throughout the
course of the first round, this.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Text says, I would see Asian tourists walking the streets
of Fullerton when Otani was an Angel and JT was
not a person, he was owned by the Honda Center.
But they are building oc live right out there.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, the sam Wellies are like doing a whole to
do out there.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Those dirty Italians think they're gonna resuscitate Anaheim? Right when
when when the Cats couldn't do it with their giant cheeseburger.
If the Cats couldn't do it, Matt, why did they
send us so many times to Anaheim?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
I think it was before we had the Dodgers, but
still right, because that was when we had the Lakers,
and so Lakers are out of season or yeah, it
still doesn't make sense that we went down. I guess
that's why to the catch, because we didn't have the
Dodgers yet, and so the Lakers are out of season.
We're the Lakers station, and that was how we spent
our summer was doing shows from Anahei, which was weird

(18:18):
because the Dodgers were on KFWB and I believe the
Angels were on seven to ten weren't they. It was
very very odd.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Been a walk down memory lane.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, just looking back on it, really really odd.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
With the Angels coming to town, Gooba is on the Dazzler,
Wayne Ran Dazzo.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
The Dazzler, the Dazzler.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
So everybody's looking forward to that, But first the Dodgers
have to get done with the freaking Ay isn't this great?
Big win? Last night? Dalton Rushing catches Tonight to Night
Colin Yee aka Shanobi.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh, he's dancing his ass off right now. He likes
this groove.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
He's in a good mood.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
He's always in a good mood. Yeah, he's the best.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
He's a great he's a great man. That's just a
great person.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
What a great family too. I mean you see where
he gets it from. Just a great family.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
You should put him on air. Boss, No, No, I won't.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'm gonna make him go to Oklahoma City. He's gotta
get his ten thousand hours. I think he's going to Enid, Boss,
I don't think he's going to Oklahoma City. Yeah, that's right,
he'll start ing it then they'll get to Okay. See,
Enid would be quite a large town compared to where.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
He was sent. We'll be back with James Worthy. You know,
there's nothing quite like living in Southern California.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Shohy Otani babblehead night. We cannot say it enough. You
do not have to line up early. Fifty five thousand
tickets sold, fifty five Shohei Otani bobbleheads will be handed out.
You can only get one. Getting there early does nothing
for you. Don't feel the need to screw traffic lines, egress, ingress,

(20:15):
all of that. Show up whenever you want, and you're
getting the bobblehead. As for this moment, p James Worthy
is brought to you by your Southern California Ford Dealers.
Ford is offering employee pricing on all Fords. You pay
what Ford employees pay. Get into your Southern California for dealers.
Take advantage of employee pricing while you can Ford from
America for America.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Joining us now, matt our, dear friend. Of course, the
Lakers season is over, so is the Clippers. Yet he
still remains as basketball rages on East Coast, having a
party between Boston and the Celtics. Although Tatum's injury has
soured a little bit, he is the largest kling on

(20:58):
in the history of the Galaxy, and a Hall of
Famer and an Emmy Award winner, and of course his
number hangs in the rafters at the Crypto, the one
and only used to be in the Forum, the Great
James Worthy. Here to the people on the Petrosen Money Show.
What's cracking, James? How are you?

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yo? Yo? Yo? What's up? Man? Just thinking about going
down and getting one of those bubbleheads tonight? Exactly?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Well, they're for everybody, but you gotta have a ticket.
You know, you're James Worthy. You might be able to
call somebody that you might know that has some kind
of a connection there. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
I'd like to think you could get I gotta, I gotta.
I got a Dodger employee outfit. You know, I'm just
kind of selling capcorn. I'm selling popcorn bro like.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
An usher with the hat.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Nothing here, just James Worthy and a Dodger working polo.
That's all.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
No big deal, tallest usher I've ever seen, Uh, James overall,
I know that that Boston vers since New York has
got a lot of people's attention. Are you enjoying that?
I mean, it's felt like such a long time since
the New York Knicks have really made noise and the

(22:12):
NBA has kind of just gone on.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah. Yeah, man. When I watched the games in New York,
particularly when it's played in the Madison Square Garden, you know,
I see my old friends like Patrick Ewing and Grandmama
and you know dark, I see all those guys, and
I remember all those battles that they had with Miami

(22:37):
and Chicago. So yeah, I mean, I hate to see
anybody get hurt. I hated it when Tatum went down,
and I kind of figured, you know, that Boston would
come back with a vengeance and try to, you know,
spread this thing out. But New York is, you know,
they've battled very well and we'll see. You know, it's

(22:58):
not over yet, but I think they really have a
good chance of winning that series.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
You mentioned it, James, the Knicks of the nineties, the
late eighties than the nineties the early nineties kind of
walk us through. Were they really that tough? Those pat
Riley teams? Did they just muddy up the game? Because
I think of the bad boy Pistons as Yeah, they
seemed like kind of badasses. They could they could really
kind of throw it down and kick some ass. But

(23:24):
I couldn't ever figure out if the Knicks, outside of
Charles Oakley, of course, we're kind of more show and
a little more you know, just kind of the way
they played as opposed to really being kind of ass
kickers or Am I totally wrong on that?

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah? No, I think. You know, Anthony Mason was a
he was a piece of work. Patrick Gilling, I mean,
there were times I think maybe I'm not sure who
the rest of that squad was, but they were pat
Riley took a mentality to New York after playing against
the Boston Celtics and some physical you know, and after

(24:01):
going up against the bad Boys in Detroit. I think
he'd learned a lot about showtime obviously win in five titles,
but I also think he picked up on that physicality
when he went to New York and kind of encouraged it.
You know. I never really bought into anybody being a
bad boy, but New York for a minute there they

(24:21):
were tough. I remember playing them after like eighty nine ninety,
and they did bring a little more physicality than than
I remember the teams in the past.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
It's been a long time just kind of speaking to
those those Knicks certainly the NBA would would love it,
but we know how you feel about the Celtics. Was
there any of that with the Knicks? Just it being
New York LA or it seems like everybody, I don't
want to say likes the Knicks, but everybody likes playing
an MSG, So there's kind of like an appreciation there, Like, yeah,
it'd be kind of cool to have the NBA Finals

(24:54):
at Madison Square Garden if we can't be in it.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah, it was always, you know, something for the Knicks
to prove, particularly when champion teams came to New York.
It was a big game. You know, when they had
Bernari King, Cartwright, some of those, some of those teams, Sparrow,
you know, they were they were tough, and so they
had a lot to prove when those type of teams

(25:18):
came into the Mecca. So they always hiked it up
a lot of times. You know, I don't remember losing
too many times in New York, but whenever they won,
it was a big thing in the fans there. You know,
the people came out from the parks and the boroughs
and they you know, they were really into basketball. They
appreciated the visiting teams as they played well, but New

(25:41):
York always had something to prove because they were always
seemed like they were on the outside looking in. And
so whenever they had Boston, you know, la, uh, you know, Utah,
anybody coming in there, San Antonio, even back in those
days with artists Gilmore and those guys, they wanted to
prove something and that was there, you know, always there
there there things that they had to do.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
The one and only James Worthy, hero of the show,
and the people of the city and beyond joining us
on the Petro said Money show. Uh. Now that they're
out again, uh, and Steph Curry got hurt and all that, Uh,
is the Warriors over? Is it all the way over? James?
It felt like they were gonna do something maybe, but
is it over?

Speaker 4 (26:24):
You kind of think, you know, I kind of I'm
not really sure with Steph Curry they could have done
any better, you know. Uh. Getting Butler was it was
a was a nice addition, But I just I just
didn't feel like in a seven game series, I just
didn't think that they could out play Minnesota in the

(26:47):
sevent game. I mean, we didn't get a chance to
see that. Minnesota won four in the road, didn't give
Steph Curry a chance to get back. But I do
not see the Warriors just like you know the Lakers.
I don't the Lakers as they are now, as the
teams that both they are now, you know, challenging teams

(27:07):
in the future without some changes, some major changes.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I can't believe we got a Rory Sparrow reference on
the show.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
I mean, Mike.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Bernard King's one thing.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Last week we had freaking Rory Sparrow.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Man James that just kind of building on what what
Petros was talking about with Steph Curry, like they I know,
Houston took him to a seven game series, but I'm
sure you watched, you know, as you're watching these games.
The thing that set out to me was like they
didn't even know what the hell they're doing. They're throwing
balls out of bounds, These threes are bricking off the
side of the backboard. I can't it. Does that make

(27:43):
sense to you? I mean, he's arguably the best player
of his era. That you pull someone like that out
in the and it's like a Jenga tower, right, just
the whole thing comes crashing down without him out there,
despite there being Jimmy Butler and Raymond Green and still
some really good players on this team, but my god,
it was a circus out there. These last three games.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Just goes to show you how vital he is, and
how vital his three shot ball is opposed to anybody else,
and how much they look for him. He moves great
without the basketball, and so Draymond Greenan particularly plays well
with Steph Kurr. They know how to facilitate one another.
But without Steph, that's a threat that they don't have.

(28:25):
With him on the floor, that threat is maximized. You
got three people kind of keeping an eye on where
he is. If he's in your area, you're thinking that
he's going to receive a pick from your man, So
they take out three defensive men. And then that's why
all these other guys you know, are able to get
their stuff. But without him on the floor, you can

(28:49):
concentrate on your man and your man only you'll have
to double team anybody. You don't have to say, help,
here comes Steph. You don't have to worry about him.
Help so he so he exactly so he isolates, you know,
three defenders just by his motion on the floor, and
that that way, you know everybody else gets their numbers

(29:11):
very easily. When Steph is on the court, on the floor,
off the floor, they have nothing interesting.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Uh, the great James Worthy always a compelling conversation. Uh, James,
you just came from the state of Indiana. Did you
feel the pacer vibe when you were out there?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah? I was at the snacks and sweets confectery, you
know candy thing. Oh yeah, I was so into the
candy man, I didn't even recognize it. But yeah, I mean,
you know, they were very excited. You know, Indianapolis hadn't
been back there in a long time. Uh, to see
how they ended their season last year and to see

(29:51):
them be able to come back and beat Cleveland, a
team that was favored. I know Cleveland had some injuries
with with Garland and you know Mobiley, but still, Uh,
that that that indian Apois team. They you know, they
came to play in the city. It's a great sports
town now, you know that basketball state. Uh. The only
thing bad about it is Larry Bird is from there.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
French Lick. French Lick the uh name. It's a pretty
good nickname, especially with that blonde mustache. Real weird looking.
James of the three remaining Now that the Warriors have
been vanquished, they're off the table because I think that
would have probably been everybody's pick just for star power,
knowing stuff would have come back. But of the three remaining,

(30:38):
because you know each of them, you got the birthplace
of the Lakers, Minneapolis, maybe there's a connection there. You
had a chance to hang out with George Micaen or something.
With the Timberwolves, you got Nikola Jokich, the best player
on the planet, or you have the the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Of those three, which would you like to see? And
I can't I just can't get past the fact that
the Thunder were stolen from Seattle and you guys never

(30:59):
got it. You know, these players don't know the magic
of going to KI Arena and all that. But what
of those three teams would you like to see in
the finals?

Speaker 4 (31:06):
And Kiria was the place to be, right Uh yeah,
I mean, look, Minnesota was in the Western Conference finals
last year. They're going to have a little bit of experience,
you know from that Jokis you could never count him out,
never count him out. But the team that I that
I think will emerge because they've been able to handle

(31:30):
the pressure thus far and the next round we'll see,
uh if they're up to the to the job. That's Oklahoma.
They're well rounded, they got multiple threats and and and
the guy that leads them, Shay is Uh is an
incredible player. Denver, they're good Bury Gordon yokis on the

(31:51):
floor along with Porter shooting well. But I just don't
think they have enough off of their bench to you know,
put seven games series, and you know it puts a
lot of pressure on those guys. They have to play
perfect games almost every game. So you know, Oklahoma, like
you said, you know it's originated in Seattle. You know,

(32:14):
they played well, they kept their their record, and they've
been they've been threatened and they responded and so they
look pretty good. That's the team that I think will emerge.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Denver not the team to beat. It is Okay Seed.
Does your Matt always talks about your heart, you know,
being your guide, you know, when you don't really know
who to root for and you find yourself rooting for
some weird team when you're watching the game. Does that
happen to you when you watch the Thunder James.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, a little bit. You know, I don't really pull
for anybody but but you're right. When I'm watching the
game is where I kind of sense what I like
and what I feel. And it's like the youth and
you know, remind us of a you know, the way
they consistently, consistently dominate, and I just I like the

(33:05):
young kids from Canada. Shay, I just think he's an
amazing kid. He has amazing poise. He never it changes
his expression on his face. So he's calm, he's cool,
he's collective under pressure, and uh that's that's what I like,
as well as the rest of their supporting cast.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
H Did you watch the lottery.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
James, No, not really. You know, I got you know,
I got a little, you know, glimpses of it, but
not really. I didn't really watch. But uh, I guess
Cooper flag, Yeah, I got his number one.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Dallas yeah, Dallas yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Yeah. It'll be interesting, you know to see what Dallas does. Uh.
You know they you know, have an A D and
and Kyrie. Uh. You know, there's a lot of trade
rumors and things that are going to start to happen. Uh.
Team is going to be making moves. But let's see
who we're going to crown as a champion. Uh, before

(34:03):
we get to that.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Did the Lakers ever ask you to represent them at
the lottery?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
I did? We did. Julius Randall, Yeah, the Julius Randall.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yeah, you look good, Julius rand Yeah. And he's turned
into uh, he's a load a monster. I mean he
got with the right team with the right system to
know how to utilize him. Uh. He's physical. Uh, he's
like playing against Julius Pepper's out there when you're playing against.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
That's good North Carolina knowledge right there. How about that?

Speaker 4 (34:34):
There you go, it's basketball too.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah, James Worthy, brought to you by Southern California Ford Dealers.
Ford is offering employee pricing on all fours. You pay
what Ford employees paid. Get into your Southern California Ford
Dealers and take advantage of employee pricing while you can.
Ford from America for America.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Thank you, James, you got it. Guys, Jame's Worthy saying goodbye.
Trial updates coming up next. Oh, Cricky, I mean I
am so yeah. You're in this is You have not
been this in since Murta. Yeah, Murdo was a big
one for me. I got two trials going simultaneously.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
You Diddy or and now we're going to have them
Anendez thing coming after yesterday.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Menendez is they're going to be on parole, and then
we have to kill Conway. We got to put up
we gotta bar the windows like we're on seventy eighth
of Vermont.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
That's deep.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
It's not gonna be easy, Matt.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
But I think k if I post the job listing
now for the afternoon drive, yeah, or like do they
wait for for the Reseentence sing to become official for
like the first parole here? Like when do they post
the job well, because you want to get ahead of it.
It's going to be so abrupt when it comes to
an end.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I will answer your question with a statement. Just like
the song we're listening to right now, the Master Creator
has a play, and will the Benandez brothers b line
to KFI Penitentiary Swoll to break the back of Tim Conway,

(36:12):
the frail back of Timmy c oh It's coming, just
like Bain broke Batman's back in the comic books.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
How great would it be if one of them put
on the Bain mask and was like, I've been whooting
Conway for thirty years. All I thought about.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
See him coming out of the loading dock. I'll swoll,
I'll swoll ding Dong. Hey, guys, that was up guys.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Ding Dong was just a radio show, right, yeah, no.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Hard feelings, guys. How was this thirty five years in prison?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Ding Dong?

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Ding Dong? Bob?

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Can I keep you for one more? You stay for
one more? Lile, Eric, get out of here?

Speaker 3 (36:59):
One on one, Lile ding done? Ding do you man
a challenge? You one on what? I'm sure to wife?
Two on one? Got a fair fight, Ding done.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I'm gonna reload.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
So a little update. I let you know what's going on.
We got an update. Man, Oh there's some crazy updates. Okay, beauty,
it's flying in your face, kind of like the NFL schedule,
you know where you just gotta right in the face.
Just it's like the cash grab and the tube. You
just gotta grab what's going by.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Until six o'clock. Dodgers on Deck. We'll talk to David
Vasse five thirty.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh the same.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Tim Kates will be on for Dodgers on Deck. But
Colin Ye is here producing his ass off, and we
appreciate that Ye. In the break there, p I just
ran into Tim Conway Junior in the hallway.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah, what did he say?

Speaker 2 (37:56):
He didn't like our reindeer games? With the Menendez thing.
I think he's stressed. I think he's freaking out, man,
I think he's legitimately freaking out.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Well, maybe he shouldn't have participated in the fry the
Menenda Rosie O'donald's bff loud Menendez is coming for Conway.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
I don't. I didn't feel like he got the chuckles
out of it that we were getting. He was not
yucking it up with me when I was like, yeah,
ding dong and then his brother's coming for your balls.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Man. Yeah, I don't know. I mean he clipped he
clipped off me saying don't do it lile. Yeah, So
you know, maybe maybe he's just in a snood.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I think now that it's real.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I mean it's I mean, it's been real.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't. I don't. I mean, I don't think the
Menendez are gonna risk it. I don't think they're gonna
risk it.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Once sing out. I mean, you're driving by, you see
the KFI letters on the side of the building. You
really think they can pass it up?

Speaker 3 (38:54):
There are no campfire letters of the build.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yet not until I sprape.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Spelunking Matt repelling down the building Conway.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Right here, this window, we're gonna have a we're gonna
have a perfect view of them setting up opposite us
at the the NBC building there.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Who's setting up a tripod? Oh it's for a rifle?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Is that Lyle? No, that's Eric.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
I would have guess it would have been like Eric's
and Marksman he learned of these coasts. Well, I'm sorry, Tim,
if you're upset, I don't fried them an end. Hey,
that's John Colebelt too. He's gonna be shaking in his pitches,
no doubt. Uh, either way, I have been. You know,
I love a good trial, Matt. And when I get hooked,
let's go. You know I didn't do the one where

(39:44):
the girl killed her kid. That sucked, and then I didn't,
But I did do the murder that when the guy
killed his kid. So I guess I make a hippocratic
choices or but still, the Diddy trial has kept me
from watching as much of the poison cap mushroom trial

(40:05):
in Melbourne, the Aaron Patterson trial that I want to
be watching more Aaron Shatners. I've been doing Diddy every day,
which feels like, you know, is probably something that a
lot of people have been doing. But just to give
you some perspective. Out in Australia, and maybe you missed

(40:27):
this story the other day for Australian News out in Melbourne,
a woman, a jilted, angry ex wife poisoned her husband's
in laws, aunt and uncle. Three of them died with
poison cap mushrooms beautifully baked into a perfect beef Wellington

(40:51):
served with love and death. And she's three weeks into
the trial and what's going on in the poison ca
app mushroom trial of Aaron Patterson matt Is. She's she
first denied ever foraging for poison cap mushrooms, saying she
got the mushrooms at some random Asian market, you know,

(41:15):
like in reality bites when Ben Stiller was doing the
Menendez brother deal. You know he was Asian.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
See that's not cool, man, not cool, what that happened? No, No,
I'm talking about this lady saying it was the Asian
market that got.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Him, right, And they at first she said, you know, no,
I never forged for no mushrooms, and they were like, well,
here's your phone. You know GPS, and here you are foraging,
and she was like, yeah, I foraged, but I didn't
forge for no poison. She's going down.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Down is where she's going.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Team USA is going down the Dinny.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Trial, by the way, quickly, Pete, which one of the
in laws survived, I know she killed his mom and dad. Okay,
so the aunt was killed.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Seven weeks in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Uncle, seven weeks in the hospital, right.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Not exactly a fun time for anybody at all. He
testified a while back, a few days back when I
first introduced us to the story in the Ditty trial
that's in its third day, and the prosecution has just

(42:21):
dropped anvil after anvil with this Cassie Ventura, who was
his girlfriend or whatever of like ten years. I mean,
disgusting stuff. I don't know if this guy's gonna be
convicted because they're gonna say consent, and then the other

(42:42):
side is gonna say, well, how can you have consent
when there's physical abuse. Here's physical abuse that's proven. It
obviously wasn't a one time thing. Blah blah blah. The
defense is saying, here's all these nasty sexy texts that
she sent them like that only fan chicks sent to
Shannon Sharp just anvil after anvil and some of the

(43:05):
things Matt that Puff Daddy required. In these situations, I
can imagine this Caligula would blush. What's he asked of
me at the end of the day, Coleigula would have blushed.

(43:25):
I mean, you cannot imagine.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
He's a real all sexual degenerate.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Just worse than that, just as a person, my God
in heaven. And then but everybody's like, well, she's a freak,
and it's like okay, but she's like nineteen, this is crazy, yeah,
and this is not all right. This is just what
they started with. So it's day three and lost government
is coming hard and Garygos is not defending Diddy though

(43:55):
they are friends, but his daughter is. She's on his defense.
Oh my god, how about that.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
That's so weird, Like the kids are there where they're
talking about the baby dudes and the oh.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
What you asked of me at the end of the day.
So I'm on it and I'm proud to be on it.
The best thing to do is just people will read
the transcripts when court is over, so people will basically

(44:32):
act out the uh the court reporters transcript.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Right, the players like the court room players.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
They don't do that. They did that in England. Maybe
they're doing it. I don't I haven't found that yet.
They did that in England with the fake Harry Prince
Harry and made them all stupid with a stupid accident.
That was the greatest thing.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Brilliant.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
But uh yeah, you could just read but uh, girl
to your loins because it is hard to accept petros
and money. Court trial analysis and reporting continues as these.

(45:18):
There's the other one too, Karen Reid, you heard about
this one. Who's that the chick that killed her cop
boyfriend allegedly let him freeze to death out there.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I don't know if I remember that.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
The Boston thing a real childhead thing, I think it is.
Can I get me heal you. We'll be right back
with your word number song with it.
