Dodgers going for a four game sweep tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
For how many times are gonna pass the ball before
we shoot it in the back?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Four It'll come from the gapin Motors broadcast booth at
seven to ten PM. Dodgers on Deck, Tim Kits, David Vassa.
That cast starts at six and no rest for the
weary they'll start a weekend series with the Washington Nationals tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh, the Curly Doves. Get ready.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No break on Monday, no break on Thursday for the
Dodgers this week, just an extended homestand seven games Padres
and Nats before they make a Midwest and East Coast
swing next week.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And we will have David Vassay like we usually do
on days that the Dodgers play, only a three hour show.
How many guests did Matt and I need to get
us through the day? How much? No, we don't need much,
(01:50):
especially with big stories circulating like the Lakers what and
the Bus. Yes, the bus is selling the minority, the
majority becoming a minority owner in a franchise that their name,
of course was synonymous with one of the most famous
owners of all time, doctor Jerry Buss, Showtime Lakers, Kobe Lakers,
(02:11):
and beyond, a very very huge moment in LA sports
history that we all experienced. Have any new facts come
to light, any new strands in the old Duder's head
since we discussed this yesterday, and I think.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Just kind of the particulars of how Genie is going
to state governor that in fact they kept basically like
right around exactly fifteen percent. That will allow her to
do that. So it seemed like that was part of
the plan. Yes, will allow you to be the majority owner.
But these are our conditions. And you know what the
(02:48):
timeline on that is. Is it two years? Is it
one year? Is it five years before that comes to it?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Like what year does Magic come in and flip Ropelika's
desk over and throw him out into the street of
Elsogonda and nash that uh.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And then we also heard that one of the bus siblings,
the six siblings, Johnny, so not a unanimous boat. Not yeah,
one of them voted no, but Jeannie voted yes. That
is that is the report that one of the siblings Joey, Johnny, Jim, Janey,
Jeanie Jesse one of those was a no. But the
(03:24):
five to one ruling, well what about the half. Chaz
the bartender Chazz I heard, believe it or not, I.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Haven't been making drinks every damn night so you could
vote me out.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I already slept through the vote. Unfot it, oh Man,
slept through a long night. You know your bartendant last
it's Thursday night, it's a night for the pros. He
was out till three am. We had a we had
a nurse's convention by and we just you know, it's Thursday.
You know, it's it's three dollars. Cosmos was packed.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You know. It is interesting because all the memes and
stuff is like the are bathing in money now and
Scrooge McDuck or the Krabby Patty's guy bathing in a
shower of cash, and this is true, and that is
kind of how the Dodgers have operated ever since. Well
not when it comes to the radio. That's how the
(04:18):
Dodgers have operated ever since. The new ownership group, no
doubt about it, and they've been fabulous to us. We're
in the bath. But there is a salary cap in
the NBA. It's not the same as MLB. Although if
you have a lot of money and you want to
build a new arena and you're aggressive with trading and
signing people, I guess there's a big difference there.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, I think, like remember the conversation we have with
Don McLean. I don't know if it was last week,
it might have been the week before when we said,
you know, you're watching Alex Caruso through these playoffs and
how incredible that, and what did Don say? It's like, well, yeah,
but you know, for the Lakers, it's okay to keep
them at three million, But now when you're over the
second apron and you got to pay all these exorbitant
taxes at like twelve million dollars, it's a different conversation.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I saw that also on X that they would have
never lost Alex Caruso had they had the money.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh, is that one of the things going around?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's one of the things.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, I think that's yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But what does this mean? This means a guy like
Alex Caruso never gets to worry. You know. It's like
kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, they'll pay that penalty because clearly, I think last
year the tax bill for the Dodgers was like one
hundred and thirty million dollars. So you know, you can
now look, yes, you are, you are.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The same as baseball. No, you can't just build a
roster and pay people in twenty fifty and live like.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Can't that that chicken Chicago isn't crying at Ayotani and
they can pay Yamamoto and now they get all that,
you know whatever, Tanner Scott and it's just not fair.
You can't do that. So but you can, you know,
say all right, whatever, we don't need to trade these
guys that are all coming up for extensions that are
(05:58):
really good because we'll just pay the luxury tax whatever.
I think the other thing too, probably is if there
if there was any concern about Luca, you know, just
kind of not being sure, I would assume all of
that is put to bed.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And the whole mom and pop shop vibe. Yeah, of
the rambusing with people and different things like that. I
would imagine that's going to be over.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's a great one. Yeah, that's a good point. Like
if tylu wants to be the head coach and you're saying, okay,
you can be the head coach, but Kurt Rambis has
to be on her. Yeah, that's not going to ever happen. Again,
I apologize, but but Tye, but but Kurt's going to
be on your steff. That would never happen. Under Mark Wall,
that type of croniism will not be tolerant.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Well, Luka did issue a statement on social media, guys,
Is that right? Yeah? He put this out earlier this
morning where he put it out from I do not
know what it says Lakers are an amazing organization.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I heard he's in jail.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Chris equals great information and concerted Luca.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I'm looking forward to meeting Mark and excited about the future.
I'm also grateful to Jeanie and the Bus family for
welcoming to LA and I'm happy that Genie will continue
to be involved. I look forward to working with both
of them to win championships. Exclamation points.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh, I'm glad he said he wants to win championships
because I I thought he was just here for the stats, right,
I'm glad that that is a priority. That's a little
worried that it wouldn't be. But now that he said
it in a tweet, I can say him behind that
championships means money and attention to great sports talk. Great
(07:47):
sports talk.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
We heard from Luca. Here we go, Lebron James Twitter
walking about the Lakers, the Lakers sale, he's.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Been oddly signed. Island has the King? We haven't heard
from the King's cart. Let me get the flourish. Here
we go.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Actually, there's nothing from him.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Oh, oh, you said there's something. Well, I thought there's something.
I just assumed.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I hit refresh on X and there'd be something from
dude the King.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I'm at his freaking I'm on his Instagram and I'm
looking at some Reframe compression complex facial sculpting cream was
like jerk, like a copper sleeve, like farv. I think
he's like trying to get in on the otani. And
you know, a tani makes all that money for the
facial care over in Japan. That's why they do the
thing with the eyes, because that's the commercial.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Do you skin products?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Love them? And Lebron's like, I want some of that.
I'm doing reframe compression cream.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Do you like skin products?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I didn't mean to deceive you, guys. I honestly thought
you're a deceiver. I thought Lebron would have a statement
like Luca. I mean the same hel is twenty four
hours old, hasn't King James said something from the throne.
I mean, this is all we have.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, how does that make you feel? Matt, that the
cane has been silent? Makes me feel pretty good? Birds
flying the sky? You know how it makes you feel
pretty good? Huh?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Listen show Hay's face. That skin is like the skin
of a baby's ass. Oh it's beautiful, It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I don't know if you've ever been with an Asian
woman with man just.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
One bronze face. Beautiful Scott, that quagmire jaw and that
big ass beard. I am I gonna buy skin cream
from him. I want my face to look like Otani's.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
You're gonna look like a bunch of tattoos from the
nineties that you can't see.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Big ass jaw with weird beard selling me facial cream.
I think you are Leave it to Otani. He's got
a beautiful This face is skid is supreme.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Now. I remember that when the mccourts bought the Dodgers,
Losorda was silent for like a couple weeks while they
were negotiating a deal for Losorda. And then they made
a deal and Tommy came out and said, I love
(10:21):
the mccourts, K're of the best. We're gonna work together.
I'm Tommy Lesorna. Now it didn't work out that great,
but that's why he was silent for that time, because
he was waiting to see whether or not he was
going to endorse him based on how they treated him. Right.
Do you think it's a similar situation here? Do you
(10:42):
like skin products, or do you think he's trying to
sell the skin products and wants to leave those on
top of the Twitter feed for a while, Right?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I think I think it's the Michael Jordan approach. Right,
Republicans by sneakers too, Like, hey, you know Bus family
and Mark Walter supporters, they all buy reframed compression cream,
facial skull thing cream.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Is there a code we can use for that, Matt.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's yeah, it's it's bron Lames five.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Copy that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And there's one based on teenagers for more oily skin
called Johnny Brames six. Yeah, why Johnny Brains Jembron names.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Is Bronni on social media? Because I've looked. I found
a fake account, but I'm trying to see if maybe
he said something about the new ownership.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Like please don't trade me, please keep me. Papa what
does it mean.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Papa Brownnie, it's just Bronnie because you know he's a
one named superstar.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I thought it was Johnny Brains.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Uh. He has not posted anything in a week and
the last thing he posted was the best of Bronni
from his inaugural role.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's gotta be short season.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, you know what, to his credit, it is the
highlights from his South Bay Lakers. So instead of posting
Laker highlights, these are all South Bay Laker highlights.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I heard a lot of people came out for those
South Bay Laker games. Was out now listen, I am,
I'm I'm worried. I'm worried about what Lebron's silence means.
Do you think they're negotiating right now how they're going
to treat each other? I mean, come on, Matt, help
me out. What's gonna happen with Jabron Lames. What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Matt? I think I know what we want, but I
think we know what we want.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I know what I want to happen, But is there
a chance that that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I want to live in that world right now. I
want to live in my fantasy world of hope and
dreams as opposed to reality where people say, well, you know,
Mark Walter is all about superstars, and he's got Otani,
and he's got Freddy Freeman, and he's got Mookie Betts,
and you know that are polarizing superstars.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Jabron Lames is polarizing, and Walter knows enough that the
people of Los Angeles are tired of Jabron lames lame
act of his masquerade.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think that's fair. He does, unfortunately have a no
trade clause, so if you want to try to maybe
just trade him for Kevin Durant or something on one
for one swap the player option, yes, you know kind
of thing. I think that that's sadly not on the table.
Maybe he just encourages him to opt out.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Well, because I see, like Lake Show Yo the most
annoying Twitter feed of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I love that guy because I love his avatar. It's
so funny.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Tweeting out stuff like at Lebron James, what do you want?
What's on your wish list? Because Mark Walter is gonna
get it for you? Yeah you're rich now. And it's like, hey,
when I don't want Lebron James us spending Mark Walter's money,
that's show. Hey, that's that's show. Hey territory, that's for
(13:44):
David Vasse.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Now now I'm scrolling through the Lake Show Yo.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It really bothers me. Yeah, Lake Show Yo taking his
victory lap, like all of a sudden, he's Scrooge McDuck
along with with with Mark Walter, that's not your money
to spend. It's Mark Walter's money to spend. You're just
a You're a masquerade. So I don't know, Matt, I
(14:15):
don't know what's gonna happen. But do you think Mark
Walter is going to have like a meeting with Jabron
Lames at the Pelican Hill like Mike Brown and Kobe
Bryant did that one time? Remember that? That was another
like I fired, that was like another they never spoke.
That's an old Petrosen Money Almanac story. Because back when
the Lakers hired Mike Brown, who's been fired and hired
(14:39):
by like twenty NBA teams. Back when the Lakers hired
Mike Brown, there was that weird period just like we're
dealing with with Jabron Lames, where there was silence, and
then after like a couple of days, people were like, hey,
Kobe's never even talked to this guy yet, Like he's
(14:59):
the coach of the Lake, yet he hasn't talked to Kobe.
And that became a big talking point. And then one
of our listeners, who happened to be a waiter down
at the clubhouse at Pelican Hill. One of our listeners
texted the secret textos line the.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Secret text line brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
We make it easy. At that time, it had a
different sponsor. He texted the Textoso line and said right
now at Pelican Hill, which tracked because Kobe lived on
the Newport cost He said, right now at Pelican Hill.
Mike Brown, who lived in the Anaheim Hills at the time,
is meeting with Kobe Bryant at my table, and I'm
(15:43):
giving the secret Textoso line the information, the text.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Brought to you by your sokell Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
And we read the text ever had unbelievable We read
the text on the air, We went viral as a show,
and the waiter was promptly fired. However, he still lives
in our memories as one of the great contributors to
Great Sports Talk and the cause of the secret Textoso
(16:12):
line that ever lived great sports Talk.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I believe he acknowledged that he hated.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The job anyway. Yes, oh no, we are still in contact. Yeah,
he's like, no worries. He texted that job anyway. Yeah,
he text from time to time, you can keep your job.
He still got a lot of dishes to wash, wash
them yourself, right, So I mean we were. I don't
feel as bad. You know, It's not like he lost
his job and then he fell to the bottle and
(16:37):
then he started with math and then he jumped off
the cliff at Torrey Pines like none of that happened.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I think he was just like mac guitar Murphy. He
just took off his apron Connor and walked out the door.
Man he left, he was, he left.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I don't know I've even got his final check, but
you he I was supposed to text the sports talk
radio show that Kobe Bryant's are there right now. I
gotta understand why he got fired, and he does too. Uh.
He still shows up at remotes and takes credit for
the guy uh as the guy from the Pelican Hill
golf Course that told us that Kobe Bryce. So, if
you're like at Rolling Hills Country Club or at the
(17:13):
rev Or at the La Country Club right now, and
you see Lebron and a gray haired high yeah Jabron
Lambs and a gray high haired gentleman, a high haired
brill cream gentleman like Mark Walter, and you see them
at the Polo Lounge commiserating, and you have the textoso
(17:39):
give it to us.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We expect some intel.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
We deserve it, and the people deserve it because I
want to know what's going to happen with Jabron Lames
and Mark Walter, don't you, Matt, no doubt? And what's
going to happen to Johnny Brahms.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Maybe Mark Walter just clears him. Maybe he leaves him
on open all the time, you know, mind, He's like,
I'm not dealing with it. I'm just going to ignore him.
Hopefully he'll get the hint and he'll just opt to
get out of this contract and take his act elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Gosh, I hope he does.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And sadly he won't. It's fifty two million dollars.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
What's fifty two million dollars to a billionaire?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Fifty two million dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Breaking news, Matt, this is gonna affect you. No, no,
From several sources, Mark Walter has just purchased the Pacific Ocean.
No wait, yeah, you're gonna have to check with him, Matt.
You're gonna have to check with him if you want
to paddle out tomorrow. You're gonna have to have lunch
(18:41):
with him and Sloopies in Manhattan Beach. You're gonna have
to be there with with Mark Walter if you want
to paddle out again and get his permission. He has
purchased the Pacific Ocean and he's purchased every single KFC
in China, which is a huge.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's a big deal Christmas Eve especially, Yes, Tim.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Is he charging surf by the minute, Like so every
time you're in the water, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Like, yeah, there's a beater on your ankle. Like the
house arrasts hard to regulate, Yeah, very hard. We'll see
Mark Walter very ahead of things.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
He's got to finance six point six billions somehow.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I guess the biggest question about it would be, is
this guy gonna build a new arena? Because let's be honest,
that's the big thing. I mean, that's that you know
they're eighteenth That is it? Eighteen seven? I think is
what it is. Yeah, I mean like balmber did built
for the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
How'd that work out?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Pretty well?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I mean it's an awesome arena, but nobody's going I mean,
but it's like this, you drop the Lakers in there,
it'd be passed.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, it's the standard of of NBA arenas. I mean,
it's it's a huge upgrade just in being at an
arena ever and anybody who's in there, and then you
go into the crypto, You're like, damn, this place sucks.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How quickly they get outdated. I mean that think's only
twenty five years old.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And it's always sucked though, I mean, it always kind
of sucked. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I never liked it. Yeah, but it was impossible, it
was it was impossible to leave the Forum. The Forum
was incredible. It was such a great place.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Well, they built they built a Marriott, you know, they
built something to have so many events, so many nights,
and it wasn't very it wasn't very original, it wasn't
very unique. It didn't feel special.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
No, it's a two team arena.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, it just felt like a giant Marriott. Three teams, right,
and then.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
The start problem. Lakers extend their Staple Center partnership through
twenty forty one season.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Oh oh, and they're in the midst of a nine figure,
multi million dollar renovation.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Because like, I mean, and I hate to be this
guy because I know I'm a hater and I'm so
filled with hate, but I mean, I lived downtown before
they built Staple Center. I lived in downtown Los Angeles
after Staple Center was built. But before they built La
Live and around that time, when Staple Center was built,
(21:06):
they had the Palm down there. There was like people
were buying million dollar apartments in what they called the
South Park area. A lot of Asian families were moving there.
They opened a market downtown, and then they opened a
whole foods downtown, which was totally foreign to those of
us who lived downtown. You'd have to drive down Beverly
(21:28):
or First Street, you know, to get to a market,
or you'd have to drive down to usc which is
not close to get to a supermarket. I know. Everything
was just like going to a gas station, liquor store,
and so it made sense. You know, the Lakers were there.
There were always people walking around in jerseys. You remember
what it was like Mad season tickets I used to go. Yeah,
(21:48):
I mean it was but you know, even when you
were working. I mean, you go to the Palm, you
know there were people. Sure, there were hobos in the
I mean, you know, it was downtown LA But now
you go down to the area, even though l Live
is there, downtown is death. Like downtown is full death.
It's been like that forever. Like there's literally blown out
(22:10):
skyscrapers where families used to live that have graffiti all
over them, like New Jack City, and that just kind
of feels like they're stuck down there, you know. I mean,
Javez Ravine is one thing that's you can see downtown,
but that's a Lesion hide. Echo Park is different. A
little bit down Sunset. It's not far down.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's always been a neighborhoodye And and now you know,
with with the encampments.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Where Staple Center is sucks, Crypto is absolutely sucks, and
not like Inglewood is a shining jewel of a place
people want to be. Traffic wise and logistically, it definitely
is not. But it's better than It's better than going
downtown in twenty twenty five. I don't think anybody can
argue that.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, most definitely.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So it's interesting, you know, it feels like what used
to be. And as you know, Matt, it was the
number one venue on earth, Staples Center, with the Lakers
playing there, concerts every night, something popping off, Pinocchio Theater
across the way, they built that big Ritz and the
big Marriott. I mean, all of those things were great,
(23:15):
and now it's like an anchor. It's like an albatross
around their net.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I don't know what the number would be. To buy
themselves out and build a new arena be awfully hard
to do, I would assume, because they look at that
as the anchor of all of those businesses and the
hotels and you know that. But as you said, the city.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Has let them down. The city has let every single
one of those businesses down, including State.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Well here's something to keep in mind, Mark Walter and
Todd Buley, they own twenty seven percent of AEG. They
bought it from philip Anshoots in twenty twenty one, so
they've got their hands now in AG and philip Anshoots
is eighty five years old. And then nobody has said
what he's going to do with his stuff if he died.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
While his kid, his kid is running it all. You know,
his kid runs all of it. Yeah, Chauncey billups and shoot,
he's gonna pass it along to him. But I just don't.
I mean, you know, the Lakers are as anchor a
tenant as you could possibly have. And now what they
could do is you know you mentioned those unfinished you
know condos that stalls out.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
The whole thing is COVID. The whole thing's dead.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Like just what if you dropped it in there, and
then you would have the steepest rake you know, ever,
like you just be looking right down on top of
that core.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I mean, downtown's a problem. You know what used to
be a great a great advantage, you know, being in
the center, the media center ESPN moved across the street.
They've closed that studio for the most part.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
All those dudes and they're button down Oxford's with jerseys.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
So far, everybody was having the coolest time of their
lives and that's all over because the city is so
poorly run. I mean, let's be honest. I mean I
lived downtown in all kinds of different eras, and it's
never been it's always not been a great place to
have like a girl come meet you and walk down
the street. You'd never do that. But it also wasn't
a place that was just death. And now it just
(25:02):
represents death, absolute desolation down there. And if Mark Walter
is smart, you'll find a way to move that stadium
because what is what is the city doing for anybody
down there in that area? Any of those businesses that's
that's not much, not much at all. We'll be back
with some great news, some big events going on around
(25:25):
town tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Here all over, I got great news. Is there any
of their kind sadly in my life?

all the day. Well, thank you for listening. We appreciate

like enormous disappointment in Los Angeles and they hire a
new ad at USC and it's like, great, now we
can get Lincoln Riley out of here. And it's like, no, no,
he's got this huge and then they hire like a
(27:01):
new GM. It's like, great, now we can get rid
of liquor. Right, No, he's still here's this gigantic buy
out there. And I remember, you know when Luca got
traded here, every oh Lebron didn't know about it. This
is great, we can get rid of Lebron James. Now, no,
he's still got this player option thing. And then you know,
the Mark Mark Walter buys the Lakers and we're like great, awesome,
(27:23):
finally out from under the thumb of the king, no
more getting nailed by the king, staring off at the
motel of the what the weird cheap seascape painting on
the wall and plying vista and it's like, no, no,
you still get this. When will we get rid of
(27:45):
the king. No kings. I don't want to be subject,

he's got a lot of prep in well.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
You got to get You know, you've got another difference
between Money Davis money ass cheek and Janelle money. You
know what I'm saying. I know what Jeff Fish can't
be lying on the truth.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I know Janelle Mone do not know the other ones.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
She's got a.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I like that Janel Mone.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Oh yeah, she got big like the other ones. I
just know. I mean, but I mean the one Janelle
Monet is she's uh, she's shown her her chest on
multiple occasions.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yes, that's right, she did start doing that chest out
surprising you guys don't know Victoria Money. I mean, she's
worked with Chris Brown, are a Grande.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
She was also with Boujou Bonton.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Oh I Love Bougia Bontan a single called Party Girls. Okay, well,

not black enough for me, basically, is what I'm saying. Now.
The Watt Stacks concerts in the seventies in the coliseum,
Now that's black. Turn it up. We'll be right back
on the Petro Some Money Show. Hello, PMS listener.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Big Juneteenth News. In the very last segment, everybody very
excited about the event. You know, last night, just on randomly,
I was driving my son to his his tutor and
we were let's just shuffling the music on the I
(36:44):
Pad or whatever iPod. Damn. Yeah, that's my phone.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
I want to play the iPod game and you.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Know, oh the iPod game, what a segment.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I have the whole Watt Stacks concert, you know, just
because I add stuff and there was something on there
that I thought was interesting, and I didn't know about
the Wattstacks. It was like a after the anniversary of
the Watts Riots, maybe ten years later in the early seventies,
there was a big show at the LA Coliseum and
(37:16):
it was all it was an all black show and
you know, sold as for black people, and it was
literally the stands of the coliseum completely filled. It was
nineteen seventy two, and one of the recordings I had
was Billy Eckstein, the old jazz singer who performed at it,
(37:40):
telling people that they have to get off the field,
you know, come on now, baby, get off the field.
Isaac Hayes, it can't come out till y'all get off there.
We went on for like twenty minutes, and my son
and I were like, are they ever going to get
off the field? You know, people, you know, come on
now see you over there, I'll see you. You got
to get off the field. That's not note enough. Spot. Yeah,
(38:00):
He's like Black Moses. Black Moses ain't coming down until
you get off the field. I mean it went on
for on and on and on. So I went back
and listened to the CD and it has the staple
singers on it and Little Milton and Albert King and
you know, the people keep running out on the field
and they kick him off. But ultimately it was a
(38:22):
successful event. Jesse Jackson's out there and a d shiki
giant fro. I mean, we're talking about seventy two, Matt
and you know, I am, and everybody you know in
the coliseum somebody and Tim Conway Junior somewhere back there
going digdo And so I watched that whole thing, and
then Black Moses did eventually come out Isaac Hayes and
(38:44):
that was pretty sweet. But there's a whole documentary movie
about it from a few years later that came out
in the seventies that Richard Pryor kind of narrates, and
I watched that last night. It was pretty interesting. Watt Stacks,
and it was just crazy to see all those people
and what people look like in our city, you know,
in the seventies, seventy two at what was just one
(39:08):
of the most awesome soul concerts that you could ever imagine.
I mean it was some real the bar keys played.
I mean there was some real funky acts. I'm not
saying you know that Lil Wayne and Anthony Anderson isn't
cool for Tonight's Juneteenth event, but that Watts Stax event
at the Coliseum for the La Riots or the Watts
(39:30):
Riots Anniversary quite something. Now, Matt, there still is you
would I know that you wouldn't believe this.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
The Secret Tax does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
We make it easy, but there is still a demand
for Rookie of the Year content here on the Petrosen
Money Show. As the week goes on, can you believe that.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
It's a little wild.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
A little while? It's a little wild the year One
of the great most impactful movies ever made about baseball
about a young.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Person, it seems a little hyperbola.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Whose arm got super tired after an injury. And eventually
the young kid is on the Chicago Cups and he
befriends a pitcher called the rocket Chest.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
This is a This is a thirty thirty two year
old movie, so which making sure I put it in content.
You know, I want to make sure I stat what.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
You know, what does that make it less relevant? Lebron
James has watched every Godfather Okay, well, what's his favorite quote?
All of them?
Speaker 2 (40:38):
There's so many, there's got to be one that really
resonates with him, though.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I'menzo the Baker. If there's problem, I will help. Uh No,
we had chet Stedmand the Rocket, the guy played by
Gary Busey. I mean, the guy's a young kid in it,
but it's the guy from American Pie. If that's the
kind of perspective you need. Yeah, it's a pre teen.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Maybe American Pie also twenty.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Years old, you know what. Yeah, fine, Matt, it's an
old movie, all right. Well, the kid asked, it's relevant though,
because we don't know what's gonna happen when they fire
up the shoulders of these Dodger pitchers again.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Out of what my shoulder will do if I hated.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Again exactly, So we played that, but you know what,
I hated him again. A few people have pointed out
to me that you you killed the best part of
the conversation with chet Steadman and Henry Rowan Gardner from
the Great Movie in nineteen ninety three Rookie of the Year,
where Stedman ended up just wearing out Rowan Gardner's mom
(41:41):
just every which way. I mean, now, you were from Chicago,
you know how women are there. She had her leg behind.
I mean, you could not imagine the twisting. She called
him the rocket, for sure, but for a different reason Steadman.
But anyway, Uh, here's Stedman. The other part of that conversation,
(42:02):
which I missed, call.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Only more sexually active than other stepmens. We know.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Stedman, Bailey, there is a seaver who was shot in
the head.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
No, I was thinking of another stepman.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Oh Oprah's husband. Are you alleging that she hails from
the aisle? No, I'm just saying that you want to
know which fish she'd like to bite tonight?
Speaker 5 (42:23):
None of what my shoulder will do if I hate
it him again.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
So anyway, here is chet Steedman played by Gary Busey.
And we know later in the movie what's implied we do,
But here he is calling Henry Rowan Gartner over and
they have one of the great conversations about quality pro
baseball airplane food that was ever written.
Speaker 6 (42:48):
Hey, rookie, come here, have a sea what'd you get chickens?
How are they good? How are you one of the
best Salisbury steaks have ever had in my life?
Speaker 5 (43:05):
You want some.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
That is as good as it gets?
Speaker 6 (43:25):
See? What'd you get?
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Chicken fingers?
Speaker 6 (43:28):
How are they good? How are you one of the
best Salisbury steaks have ever had in my life? You
want some?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Sure Salisbury that's impredib.
Speaker 5 (43:39):
What my shoulder will do if I hate it up again?
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Well you can still cut that Salisbury steak?
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah, with what a chainsaw?
Speaker 6 (43:47):
One of the best Salisbury steaks I have ever had
in my life.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
You want some?
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yes, I want some? And Steedman's cutting him off a
piece right there with the little airplane trade down. Come
on back. You know you got free time at home,
taking long walks with the dog on the beach and
drinking chardonnaye. Watch this impactful film.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Oh I thought you're gonna tell me to get some
ground chuck and make some sau spur.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
That's what gets there, That's what gets you to the
table matt.
Speaker 5 (44:14):
Steaks have ever had in my life? You want don't
call me rockets because I'm not the rocket anymore.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Yeah, I don't kidding. You're throwing so slow?
Speaker 5 (44:23):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
No, no, no, I mean, didn't surgery fix your shoulder.
Speaker 5 (44:28):
I don't know what my shoulder will do if I
hate it up again.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
He's heating up their shoulder tonight, yamamoo. I don't know
what I'm I don't know what his shoulder is gonna.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Do have ever had in my life?

Oh yeah, saw spur steak? Oh hey, And you tell
Henry Henry side of their first second. When we get
to our destination, you call your mom on the phone.
You tell her I got some gravy for her Salisbury steak.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Uh, Salisbury's stay. That was the true that you know.
That was one of the life's great lies. When you
were a child and mom said it was steak night,
it turned out to be Salisbury's ground.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
That's what it is. This is gravy.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
It's the worst grave You've ever had in my life, sal.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
One of the best I've ever had in my life.
You want I'm telling you the writing is impeccable.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
I don't know you can have a good rabd Salisbury steak.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
It's well obviously, man. You know you're not chet Steadman.
The best I don't know what my Salisbury steak will
do if I heat it up again. We'll be right

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Honey, hey, you must be doing good because I never

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Tony you Petros Money seventy LA Sports live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. You're home of the World Series champion
Dodgers going for a four game sweep tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
For how many times are gonna pass the ball before
we shoot it in the back?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Four It'll come from the gapin Motors broadcast booth at
seven to ten PM. Dodgers on Deck, Tim Kits, David Vassa.
That cast starts at six and no rest for the
weary they'll start a weekend series with the Washington Nationals tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh, the Curly Doves. Get ready.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No break on Monday, no break on Thursday for the
Dodgers this week, just an extended homestand seven games Padres
and Nats before they make a Midwest and East Coast
swing next week.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And we will have David Vassay like we usually do
on days that the Dodgers play, only a three hour show.
How many guests did Matt and I need to get
us through the day? How much? No, we don't need much,
(01:50):
especially with big stories circulating like the Lakers what and
the Bus. Yes, the bus is selling the minority, the
majority becoming a minority owner in a franchise that their name,
of course was synonymous with one of the most famous
owners of all time, doctor Jerry Buss, Showtime Lakers, Kobe Lakers,
(02:11):
and beyond, a very very huge moment in LA sports
history that we all experienced. Have any new facts come
to light, any new strands in the old Duder's head
since we discussed this yesterday, and I think.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Just kind of the particulars of how Genie is going
to state governor that in fact they kept basically like
right around exactly fifteen percent. That will allow her to
do that. So it seemed like that was part of
the plan. Yes, will allow you to be the majority owner.
But these are our conditions. And you know what the
(02:48):
timeline on that is. Is it two years? Is it
one year? Is it five years before that comes to it?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Like what year does Magic come in and flip Ropelika's
desk over and throw him out into the street of
Elsogonda and nash that uh.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And then we also heard that one of the bus siblings,
the six siblings, Johnny, so not a unanimous boat. Not yeah,
one of them voted no, but Jeannie voted yes. That
is that is the report that one of the siblings Joey, Johnny, Jim, Janey,
Jeanie Jesse one of those was a no. But the
(03:24):
five to one ruling, well what about the half. Chaz
the bartender Chazz I heard, believe it or not, I.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Haven't been making drinks every damn night so you could
vote me out.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I already slept through the vote. Unfot it, oh Man,
slept through a long night. You know your bartendant last
it's Thursday night, it's a night for the pros. He
was out till three am. We had a we had
a nurse's convention by and we just you know, it's Thursday.
You know, it's it's three dollars. Cosmos was packed.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You know. It is interesting because all the memes and
stuff is like the are bathing in money now and
Scrooge McDuck or the Krabby Patty's guy bathing in a
shower of cash, and this is true, and that is
kind of how the Dodgers have operated ever since. Well
not when it comes to the radio. That's how the
(04:18):
Dodgers have operated ever since. The new ownership group, no
doubt about it, and they've been fabulous to us. We're
in the bath. But there is a salary cap in
the NBA. It's not the same as MLB. Although if
you have a lot of money and you want to
build a new arena and you're aggressive with trading and
signing people, I guess there's a big difference there.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, I think, like remember the conversation we have with
Don McLean. I don't know if it was last week,
it might have been the week before when we said,
you know, you're watching Alex Caruso through these playoffs and
how incredible that, and what did Don say? It's like, well, yeah,
but you know, for the Lakers, it's okay to keep
them at three million, But now when you're over the
second apron and you got to pay all these exorbitant
taxes at like twelve million dollars, it's a different conversation.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I saw that also on X that they would have
never lost Alex Caruso had they had the money.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh, is that one of the things going around?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's one of the things.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, I think that's yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But what does this mean? This means a guy like
Alex Caruso never gets to worry. You know. It's like
kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, they'll pay that penalty because clearly, I think last
year the tax bill for the Dodgers was like one
hundred and thirty million dollars. So you know, you can
now look, yes, you are, you are.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The same as baseball. No, you can't just build a
roster and pay people in twenty fifty and live like.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Can't that that chicken Chicago isn't crying at Ayotani and
they can pay Yamamoto and now they get all that,
you know whatever, Tanner Scott and it's just not fair.
You can't do that. So but you can, you know,
say all right, whatever, we don't need to trade these
guys that are all coming up for extensions that are
(05:58):
really good because we'll just pay the luxury tax whatever.
I think the other thing too, probably is if there
if there was any concern about Luca, you know, just
kind of not being sure, I would assume all of
that is put to bed.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And the whole mom and pop shop vibe. Yeah, of
the rambusing with people and different things like that. I
would imagine that's going to be over.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's a great one. Yeah, that's a good point. Like
if tylu wants to be the head coach and you're saying, okay,
you can be the head coach, but Kurt Rambis has
to be on her. Yeah, that's not going to ever happen. Again,
I apologize, but but Tye, but but Kurt's going to
be on your steff. That would never happen. Under Mark Wall,
that type of croniism will not be tolerant.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Well, Luka did issue a statement on social media, guys,
Is that right? Yeah? He put this out earlier this
morning where he put it out from I do not
know what it says Lakers are an amazing organization.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I heard he's in jail.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Chris equals great information and concerted Luca.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I'm looking forward to meeting Mark and excited about the future.
I'm also grateful to Jeanie and the Bus family for
welcoming to LA and I'm happy that Genie will continue
to be involved. I look forward to working with both
of them to win championships. Exclamation points.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh, I'm glad he said he wants to win championships
because I I thought he was just here for the stats, right,
I'm glad that that is a priority. That's a little
worried that it wouldn't be. But now that he said
it in a tweet, I can say him behind that
championships means money and attention to great sports talk. Great
(07:47):
sports talk.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
We heard from Luca. Here we go, Lebron James Twitter
walking about the Lakers, the Lakers sale, he's.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Been oddly signed. Island has the King? We haven't heard
from the King's cart. Let me get the flourish. Here
we go.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Actually, there's nothing from him.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Oh, oh, you said there's something. Well, I thought there's something.
I just assumed.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I hit refresh on X and there'd be something from
dude the King.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I'm at his freaking I'm on his Instagram and I'm
looking at some Reframe compression complex facial sculpting cream was
like jerk, like a copper sleeve, like farv. I think
he's like trying to get in on the otani. And
you know, a tani makes all that money for the
facial care over in Japan. That's why they do the
thing with the eyes, because that's the commercial.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Do you skin products?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Love them? And Lebron's like, I want some of that.
I'm doing reframe compression cream.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Do you like skin products?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I didn't mean to deceive you, guys. I honestly thought
you're a deceiver. I thought Lebron would have a statement
like Luca. I mean the same hel is twenty four
hours old, hasn't King James said something from the throne.
I mean, this is all we have.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, how does that make you feel? Matt, that the
cane has been silent? Makes me feel pretty good? Birds
flying the sky? You know how it makes you feel
pretty good? Huh?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Listen show Hay's face. That skin is like the skin
of a baby's ass. Oh it's beautiful, It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I don't know if you've ever been with an Asian
woman with man just.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
One bronze face. Beautiful Scott, that quagmire jaw and that
big ass beard. I am I gonna buy skin cream
from him. I want my face to look like Otani's.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
You're gonna look like a bunch of tattoos from the
nineties that you can't see.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Big ass jaw with weird beard selling me facial cream.
I think you are Leave it to Otani. He's got
a beautiful This face is skid is supreme.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Now. I remember that when the mccourts bought the Dodgers,
Losorda was silent for like a couple weeks while they
were negotiating a deal for Losorda. And then they made
a deal and Tommy came out and said, I love
(10:21):
the mccourts, K're of the best. We're gonna work together.
I'm Tommy Lesorna. Now it didn't work out that great,
but that's why he was silent for that time, because
he was waiting to see whether or not he was
going to endorse him based on how they treated him. Right.
Do you think it's a similar situation here? Do you
(10:42):
like skin products, or do you think he's trying to
sell the skin products and wants to leave those on
top of the Twitter feed for a while, Right?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I think I think it's the Michael Jordan approach. Right,
Republicans by sneakers too, Like, hey, you know Bus family
and Mark Walter supporters, they all buy reframed compression cream,
facial skull thing cream.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Is there a code we can use for that, Matt.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's yeah, it's it's bron Lames five.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Copy that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And there's one based on teenagers for more oily skin
called Johnny Brames six. Yeah, why Johnny Brains Jembron names.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Is Bronni on social media? Because I've looked. I found
a fake account, but I'm trying to see if maybe
he said something about the new ownership.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Like please don't trade me, please keep me. Papa what
does it mean.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Papa Brownnie, it's just Bronnie because you know he's a
one named superstar.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I thought it was Johnny Brains.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Uh. He has not posted anything in a week and
the last thing he posted was the best of Bronni
from his inaugural role.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's gotta be short season.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, you know what, to his credit, it is the
highlights from his South Bay Lakers. So instead of posting
Laker highlights, these are all South Bay Laker highlights.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I heard a lot of people came out for those
South Bay Laker games. Was out now listen, I am,
I'm I'm worried. I'm worried about what Lebron's silence means.
Do you think they're negotiating right now how they're going
to treat each other? I mean, come on, Matt, help
me out. What's gonna happen with Jabron Lames. What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Matt? I think I know what we want, but I
think we know what we want.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I know what I want to happen, But is there
a chance that that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I want to live in that world right now. I
want to live in my fantasy world of hope and
dreams as opposed to reality where people say, well, you know,
Mark Walter is all about superstars, and he's got Otani,
and he's got Freddy Freeman, and he's got Mookie Betts,
and you know that are polarizing superstars.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Jabron Lames is polarizing, and Walter knows enough that the
people of Los Angeles are tired of Jabron lames lame
act of his masquerade.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think that's fair. He does, unfortunately have a no
trade clause, so if you want to try to maybe
just trade him for Kevin Durant or something on one
for one swap the player option, yes, you know kind
of thing. I think that that's sadly not on the table.
Maybe he just encourages him to opt out.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Well, because I see, like Lake Show Yo the most
annoying Twitter feed of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I love that guy because I love his avatar. It's
so funny.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Tweeting out stuff like at Lebron James, what do you want?
What's on your wish list? Because Mark Walter is gonna
get it for you? Yeah you're rich now. And it's like, hey,
when I don't want Lebron James us spending Mark Walter's money,
that's show. Hey, that's that's show. Hey territory, that's for
(13:44):
David Vasse.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Now now I'm scrolling through the Lake Show Yo.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It really bothers me. Yeah, Lake Show Yo taking his
victory lap, like all of a sudden, he's Scrooge McDuck
along with with with Mark Walter, that's not your money
to spend. It's Mark Walter's money to spend. You're just
a You're a masquerade. So I don't know, Matt, I
(14:15):
don't know what's gonna happen. But do you think Mark
Walter is going to have like a meeting with Jabron
Lames at the Pelican Hill like Mike Brown and Kobe
Bryant did that one time? Remember that? That was another
like I fired, that was like another they never spoke.
That's an old Petrosen Money Almanac story. Because back when
the Lakers hired Mike Brown, who's been fired and hired
(14:39):
by like twenty NBA teams. Back when the Lakers hired
Mike Brown, there was that weird period just like we're
dealing with with Jabron Lames, where there was silence, and
then after like a couple of days, people were like, hey,
Kobe's never even talked to this guy yet, Like he's
(14:59):
the coach of the Lake, yet he hasn't talked to Kobe.
And that became a big talking point. And then one
of our listeners, who happened to be a waiter down
at the clubhouse at Pelican Hill. One of our listeners
texted the secret textos line the.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Secret text line brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
We make it easy. At that time, it had a
different sponsor. He texted the Textoso line and said right
now at Pelican Hill, which tracked because Kobe lived on
the Newport cost He said, right now at Pelican Hill.
Mike Brown, who lived in the Anaheim Hills at the time,
is meeting with Kobe Bryant at my table, and I'm
(15:43):
giving the secret Textoso line the information, the text.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Brought to you by your sokell Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
And we read the text ever had unbelievable We read
the text on the air, We went viral as a show,
and the waiter was promptly fired. However, he still lives
in our memories as one of the great contributors to
Great Sports Talk and the cause of the secret Textoso
(16:12):
line that ever lived great sports Talk.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I believe he acknowledged that he hated.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The job anyway. Yes, oh no, we are still in contact. Yeah,
he's like, no worries. He texted that job anyway. Yeah,
he text from time to time, you can keep your job.
He still got a lot of dishes to wash, wash
them yourself, right, So I mean we were. I don't
feel as bad. You know, It's not like he lost
his job and then he fell to the bottle and
(16:37):
then he started with math and then he jumped off
the cliff at Torrey Pines like none of that happened.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I think he was just like mac guitar Murphy. He
just took off his apron Connor and walked out the door.
Man he left, he was, he left.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I don't know I've even got his final check, but
you he I was supposed to text the sports talk
radio show that Kobe Bryant's are there right now. I
gotta understand why he got fired, and he does too. Uh.
He still shows up at remotes and takes credit for
the guy uh as the guy from the Pelican Hill
golf Course that told us that Kobe Bryce. So, if
you're like at Rolling Hills Country Club or at the
(17:13):
rev Or at the La Country Club right now, and
you see Lebron and a gray haired high yeah Jabron
Lambs and a gray high haired gentleman, a high haired
brill cream gentleman like Mark Walter, and you see them
at the Polo Lounge commiserating, and you have the textoso
(17:39):
give it to us.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We expect some intel.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
We deserve it, and the people deserve it because I
want to know what's going to happen with Jabron Lames
and Mark Walter, don't you, Matt, no doubt? And what's
going to happen to Johnny Brahms.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Maybe Mark Walter just clears him. Maybe he leaves him
on open all the time, you know, mind, He's like,
I'm not dealing with it. I'm just going to ignore him.
Hopefully he'll get the hint and he'll just opt to
get out of this contract and take his act elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Gosh, I hope he does.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And sadly he won't. It's fifty two million dollars.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
What's fifty two million dollars to a billionaire?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Fifty two million dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Breaking news, Matt, this is gonna affect you. No, no,
From several sources, Mark Walter has just purchased the Pacific Ocean.
No wait, yeah, you're gonna have to check with him, Matt.
You're gonna have to check with him if you want
to paddle out tomorrow. You're gonna have to have lunch
(18:41):
with him and Sloopies in Manhattan Beach. You're gonna have
to be there with with Mark Walter if you want
to paddle out again and get his permission. He has
purchased the Pacific Ocean and he's purchased every single KFC
in China, which is a huge.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's a big deal Christmas Eve especially, Yes, Tim.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Is he charging surf by the minute, Like so every
time you're in the water, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Like, yeah, there's a beater on your ankle. Like the
house arrasts hard to regulate, Yeah, very hard. We'll see
Mark Walter very ahead of things.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
He's got to finance six point six billions somehow.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I guess the biggest question about it would be, is
this guy gonna build a new arena? Because let's be honest,
that's the big thing. I mean, that's that you know
they're eighteenth That is it? Eighteen seven? I think is
what it is. Yeah, I mean like balmber did built
for the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
How'd that work out?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Pretty well?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I mean it's an awesome arena, but nobody's going I mean,
but it's like this, you drop the Lakers in there,
it'd be passed.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, it's the standard of of NBA arenas. I mean,
it's it's a huge upgrade just in being at an
arena ever and anybody who's in there, and then you
go into the crypto, You're like, damn, this place sucks.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How quickly they get outdated. I mean that think's only
twenty five years old.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And it's always sucked though, I mean, it always kind
of sucked. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I never liked it. Yeah, but it was impossible, it
was it was impossible to leave the Forum. The Forum
was incredible. It was such a great place.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Well, they built they built a Marriott, you know, they
built something to have so many events, so many nights,
and it wasn't very it wasn't very original, it wasn't
very unique. It didn't feel special.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
No, it's a two team arena.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, it just felt like a giant Marriott. Three teams, right,
and then.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
The start problem. Lakers extend their Staple Center partnership through
twenty forty one season.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Oh oh, and they're in the midst of a nine figure,
multi million dollar renovation.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Because like, I mean, and I hate to be this
guy because I know I'm a hater and I'm so
filled with hate, but I mean, I lived downtown before
they built Staple Center. I lived in downtown Los Angeles
after Staple Center was built. But before they built La
Live and around that time, when Staple Center was built,
(21:06):
they had the Palm down there. There was like people
were buying million dollar apartments in what they called the
South Park area. A lot of Asian families were moving there.
They opened a market downtown, and then they opened a
whole foods downtown, which was totally foreign to those of
us who lived downtown. You'd have to drive down Beverly
(21:28):
or First Street, you know, to get to a market,
or you'd have to drive down to usc which is
not close to get to a supermarket. I know. Everything
was just like going to a gas station, liquor store,
and so it made sense. You know, the Lakers were there.
There were always people walking around in jerseys. You remember
what it was like Mad season tickets I used to go. Yeah,
(21:48):
I mean it was but you know, even when you
were working. I mean, you go to the Palm, you
know there were people. Sure, there were hobos in the
I mean, you know, it was downtown LA But now
you go down to the area, even though l Live
is there, downtown is death. Like downtown is full death.
It's been like that forever. Like there's literally blown out
(22:10):
skyscrapers where families used to live that have graffiti all
over them, like New Jack City, and that just kind
of feels like they're stuck down there, you know. I mean,
Javez Ravine is one thing that's you can see downtown,
but that's a Lesion hide. Echo Park is different. A
little bit down Sunset. It's not far down.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's always been a neighborhoodye And and now you know,
with with the encampments.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Where Staple Center is sucks, Crypto is absolutely sucks, and
not like Inglewood is a shining jewel of a place
people want to be. Traffic wise and logistically, it definitely
is not. But it's better than It's better than going
downtown in twenty twenty five. I don't think anybody can
argue that.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, most definitely.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So it's interesting, you know, it feels like what used
to be. And as you know, Matt, it was the
number one venue on earth, Staples Center, with the Lakers
playing there, concerts every night, something popping off, Pinocchio Theater
across the way, they built that big Ritz and the
big Marriott. I mean, all of those things were great,
(23:15):
and now it's like an anchor. It's like an albatross
around their net.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I don't know what the number would be. To buy
themselves out and build a new arena be awfully hard
to do, I would assume, because they look at that
as the anchor of all of those businesses and the
hotels and you know that. But as you said, the city.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Has let them down. The city has let every single
one of those businesses down, including State.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Well here's something to keep in mind, Mark Walter and
Todd Buley, they own twenty seven percent of AEG. They
bought it from philip Anshoots in twenty twenty one, so
they've got their hands now in AG and philip Anshoots
is eighty five years old. And then nobody has said
what he's going to do with his stuff if he died.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
While his kid, his kid is running it all. You know,
his kid runs all of it. Yeah, Chauncey billups and shoot,
he's gonna pass it along to him. But I just don't.
I mean, you know, the Lakers are as anchor a
tenant as you could possibly have. And now what they
could do is you know you mentioned those unfinished you
know condos that stalls out.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
The whole thing is COVID. The whole thing's dead.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Like just what if you dropped it in there, and
then you would have the steepest rake you know, ever,
like you just be looking right down on top of
that core.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I mean, downtown's a problem. You know what used to
be a great a great advantage, you know, being in
the center, the media center ESPN moved across the street.
They've closed that studio for the most part.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
All those dudes and they're button down Oxford's with jerseys.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
So far, everybody was having the coolest time of their
lives and that's all over because the city is so
poorly run. I mean, let's be honest. I mean I
lived downtown in all kinds of different eras, and it's
never been it's always not been a great place to
have like a girl come meet you and walk down
the street. You'd never do that. But it also wasn't
a place that was just death. And now it just
(25:02):
represents death, absolute desolation down there. And if Mark Walter
is smart, you'll find a way to move that stadium
because what is what is the city doing for anybody
down there in that area? Any of those businesses that's
that's not much, not much at all. We'll be back
with some great news, some big events going on around
(25:25):
town tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Here all over, I got great news. Is there any
of their kind sadly in my life?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yes? Not for me, Matt, I'm walking on the sunshine
all the day. Well, thank you for listening. We appreciate
everybody on this crunchy groove. And Thursday, big Dodger opportunity
to sweep the Dads out of town. Morongo Casino, Dodgers

Dodger Stadium next.

his debut on Monday. He will get the start again
on Sunday. David Vesibell join us next hour with all
(26:38):
the details here.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
And the more I think about it is a lot
like Jabron Lames is a lot like Lincoln Riley. It's
like enormous disappointment in Los Angeles and they hire a
new ad at USC and it's like, great, now we
can get Lincoln Riley out of here. And it's like, no, no,
he's got this huge and then they hire like a
(27:01):
new GM. It's like, great, now we can get rid
of liquor. Right, No, he's still here's this gigantic buy
out there. And I remember, you know when Luca got
traded here, every oh Lebron didn't know about it. This
is great, we can get rid of Lebron James. Now, no,
he's still got this player option thing. And then you know,
the Mark Mark Walter buys the Lakers and we're like great, awesome,
(27:23):
finally out from under the thumb of the king, no
more getting nailed by the king, staring off at the
motel of the what the weird cheap seascape painting on
the wall and plying vista and it's like, no, no,
you still get this. When will we get rid of
(27:45):
the king. No kings. I don't want to be subject,
all right, Matt, local knowledge, it's your team in common knowledge.
It's local knowledge.

He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up
with as far as for.

With your knowledge, all right, give me the black enough

Big Juneteenth News. In the very last segment, everybody very
excited about the event. You know, last night, just on randomly,
I was driving my son to his his tutor and
we were let's just shuffling the music on the I
(36:44):
Pad or whatever iPod. Damn. Yeah, that's my phone.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
I want to play the iPod game and you.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Know, oh the iPod game, what a segment.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I have the whole Watt Stacks concert, you know, just
because I add stuff and there was something on there
that I thought was interesting, and I didn't know about
the Wattstacks. It was like a after the anniversary of
the Watts Riots, maybe ten years later in the early seventies,
there was a big show at the LA Coliseum and
(37:16):
it was all it was an all black show and
you know, sold as for black people, and it was
literally the stands of the coliseum completely filled. It was
nineteen seventy two, and one of the recordings I had
was Billy Eckstein, the old jazz singer who performed at it,
(37:40):
telling people that they have to get off the field,
you know, come on now, baby, get off the field.
Isaac Hayes, it can't come out till y'all get off there.
We went on for like twenty minutes, and my son
and I were like, are they ever going to get
off the field? You know, people, you know, come on
now see you over there, I'll see you. You got
to get off the field. That's not note enough. Spot. Yeah,
(38:00):
He's like Black Moses. Black Moses ain't coming down until
you get off the field. I mean it went on
for on and on and on. So I went back
and listened to the CD and it has the staple
singers on it and Little Milton and Albert King and
you know, the people keep running out on the field
and they kick him off. But ultimately it was a
(38:22):
successful event. Jesse Jackson's out there and a d shiki
giant fro. I mean, we're talking about seventy two, Matt
and you know, I am, and everybody you know in
the coliseum somebody and Tim Conway Junior somewhere back there
going digdo And so I watched that whole thing, and
then Black Moses did eventually come out Isaac Hayes and
(38:44):
that was pretty sweet. But there's a whole documentary movie
about it from a few years later that came out
in the seventies that Richard Pryor kind of narrates, and
I watched that last night. It was pretty interesting. Watt Stacks,
and it was just crazy to see all those people
and what people look like in our city, you know,
in the seventies, seventy two at what was just one
(39:08):
of the most awesome soul concerts that you could ever imagine.
I mean it was some real the bar keys played.
I mean there was some real funky acts. I'm not
saying you know that Lil Wayne and Anthony Anderson isn't
cool for Tonight's Juneteenth event, but that Watts Stax event
at the Coliseum for the La Riots or the Watts
(39:30):
Riots Anniversary quite something. Now, Matt, there still is you
would I know that you wouldn't believe this.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
The Secret Tax does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
We make it easy, but there is still a demand
for Rookie of the Year content here on the Petrosen
Money Show. As the week goes on, can you believe that.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
It's a little wild.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
A little while? It's a little wild the year One
of the great most impactful movies ever made about baseball
about a young.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Person, it seems a little hyperbola.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Whose arm got super tired after an injury. And eventually
the young kid is on the Chicago Cups and he
befriends a pitcher called the rocket Chest.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
This is a This is a thirty thirty two year
old movie, so which making sure I put it in content.
You know, I want to make sure I stat what.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
You know, what does that make it less relevant? Lebron
James has watched every Godfather Okay, well, what's his favorite quote?
All of them?
Speaker 2 (40:38):
There's so many, there's got to be one that really
resonates with him, though.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I'menzo the Baker. If there's problem, I will help. Uh No,
we had chet Stedmand the Rocket, the guy played by
Gary Busey. I mean, the guy's a young kid in it,
but it's the guy from American Pie. If that's the
kind of perspective you need. Yeah, it's a pre teen.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Maybe American Pie also twenty.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Years old, you know what. Yeah, fine, Matt, it's an
old movie, all right. Well, the kid asked, it's relevant though,
because we don't know what's gonna happen when they fire
up the shoulders of these Dodger pitchers again.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Out of what my shoulder will do if I hated.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Again exactly, So we played that, but you know what,
I hated him again. A few people have pointed out
to me that you you killed the best part of
the conversation with chet Steadman and Henry Rowan Gardner from
the Great Movie in nineteen ninety three Rookie of the Year,
where Stedman ended up just wearing out Rowan Gardner's mom
(41:41):
just every which way. I mean, now, you were from Chicago,
you know how women are there. She had her leg behind.
I mean, you could not imagine the twisting. She called
him the rocket, for sure, but for a different reason Steadman.
But anyway, Uh, here's Stedman. The other part of that conversation,
(42:02):
which I missed, call.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Only more sexually active than other stepmens. We know.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Stedman, Bailey, there is a seaver who was shot in
the head.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
No, I was thinking of another stepman.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Oh Oprah's husband. Are you alleging that she hails from
the aisle? No, I'm just saying that you want to
know which fish she'd like to bite tonight?
Speaker 5 (42:23):
None of what my shoulder will do if I hate
it him again.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
So anyway, here is chet Steedman played by Gary Busey.
And we know later in the movie what's implied we do,
But here he is calling Henry Rowan Gartner over and
they have one of the great conversations about quality pro
baseball airplane food that was ever written.
Speaker 6 (42:48):
