Pee the second stop of our three stop twenty twenty
six PMS summer tours at Brewery Eccinannaheim.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And there was a rumor I was not involved in this.
We had an oral surgery in the family today, so
you know, one of those numb faced, screaming children.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's in coherent.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
But I was told of a mining what would you
call that expedition deep into the bowels of the of
the building with you guys with your helmets on, with
the lights on the helmets, kind of like I don't
know which one of you would be, the little Asian guy. Yeah,
(02:33):
you know, like in a temple of doom, you and
you and Kate's in the mining cart, like flying all
through the building like space mountain, you know, with spining
and spinning all around and pulling out different prizes. Is
that Am I wrong to say I heard about this.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I heard you.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Had like a leather jacket on and like a lass sue.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Like a leather hat, maybe a whip. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The way I would describe it is we were walking
down the hallway here at the office. The door to
the prize closet was opened. We both dipped in there,
and I said, look at this ass. It's been sitting
here for years. Kate's start grabbing it and let's get
the hell out of here before anybody notices.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
So you showed almost Ulysses s Grant like leadership, uh
and said hey, get your get get on your hands and.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Knees, pick up these these these these nicknacks. I did
not carry anything out. Kates carried everything out. I just
realized that, Kates, do you want to like put it
all in a pile and we can snap a photo
of it and post it on petros and money.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
What are you sure carrying it out in like a
mining cart or in like a cart that you used
to like move your luggage at a hotel.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I think all the stuff we took because most of
it is clothing.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There's a little bit.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Oh he just grabbed the sack of about three hundred
sticks of lip bomb.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So there's that lip bomb.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So like everyone's going to get a prize.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We're gonna be able to pass out a five seventy
LA sports lit ball.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I've been in the prize closet relatively recently, and I
have the same feeling every time I look into the
prize closet.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And I've seen this stuff for years.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
That and I feel overwhelmed, and I know, almost kind
of like looking at my garage and what my son
has done to me. I know, if I dig into
the garage, I'll find valuable things, things that I can use,
things that I.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Need, even at some point things you can sell correct things.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That I could give away the listeners. But often when
I look in there, I'm just overwhelmed and I cannot
undertake the project.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's just too much for me. Usually we have something.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Coming up in the preps on the case just to
held up. It's gotta be.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I mean, if you're not clocking in at at least
two hundred and seventy five pounds, that Clippers number fourteen
Terrence Man autographed jersey is gonna be a little large
for you.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well, we have some extremely widely.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Right, and I think that I think the indie rock
kids like to wear them long anyway, right, Yeah, but
I mean, oh we got two of those Terrence Man.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
That one looks even bigger, a double X and an XL,
which is amazing. How we weren't able to dump.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Those yeah when he was still on the team, Like, hey,
maybe we give away the Terrence Man autographed the Clipper
jerseys when Terrence Man is still a Clipper three years ago.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
How about the one thousand lip bombs that are in there?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, mentioned that mentioned the sack of.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
A thanks a lot, Kates.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I don't know why they sitting Oh yeah, I see
what you're saying, Like.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Marty, like Matt's walking around like Jean Wilder pointed stuff,
and Kate's is like Marty Feldman and a young breaker
side limping after and picking up things off the floor.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, we need some of those lip bombs.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
You gotta get those.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
They got a dot. Oh look at that Dodger polos
and Dodger t shirts. What size is that T shirt?
That looks uh one of those.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
They like a little material or like the material of
your great uncle's polo, And you're like, god, this material
feels like we're an.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Official merchandise of MLB right now.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Potatoes, Nike T shirt, the Nike T shirt is is
gonna be sought after. That's that's gonna be a good get.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now the Palace, it's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I would keep going, I'm sorry, we're still we're still
doing inventory.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yeah, the polo, I would describe and again as I'm
looking at him, spread out those shoulders that thing is
it at minimum double XL bingo?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Okay, this is this city connect Dodgers. What is this
nighttime blue?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So we're helping, uh Kevin McHale, Yes, so, oh you know,
my wife told me I've got broad showed of that side.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Brought me these club and they're.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Great shoulders team, but I don't think they're filling up that.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
We have a three X and a four X in
the polo as well.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Wow, yeah, and it's not Dodger blue. I would describe
that as a I think in in automobile terms, a
cobalt blue is what that blue would be, like a
blue gray sort of tint there.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And we got three of those. And again, I.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Mean I just now I think of you and Kate's
doing like a drop in the mining cart and there's
like a big four X polo over your face and
you can't see where you're going.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You like, ditch it.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And then as soon as we throw it from our face,
we turn around and there's a guy with a curvy
sword that's closed in on us.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Well, we got polos forlos what else do we have?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, we also have the I.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Don't think you're getting a polo if you're.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Not a Look at that Chargers We got a Chargers
baseball cap official merch and a Justin Justin Hurt you
up Justin Herbert jersey. Well, like I said, the Dodger
polo is like an odd shade of blue.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Where is it a sign jersey from Justin Herbert? Is
it proven? He can read it? Right?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
It is now it is still in the plastics. So
it is a brand size medium. Oh look at that
size medium for the smaller listener.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So for our most petite listener.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
We have a jersey of a giant man.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Now we just added something else, and this was not
something we had to steal added per.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Game week steal any of it? Did you? Did you
guys steal it?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
We weren't told you we did it.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, we did not ask parent.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Wow, how was it opened?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
The door was.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Open every now and then the doors open.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
It's moving day here at iHeart.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, we're moving week. I should say the I did. Also.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I don't know if you want to give this a waypee,
but there were two boxes with my name on them,
and when I opened it up, there was a Little
Giants DVD autographed by you, me, Ronnie and David Besse.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Somebody should have that, right, So.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
That's in there as well, Dave.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
We said at two nights State an MGM Resorts destination.
Look at that Vegas and the Summer league's there right now.
So maybe you win tomorrow and next thing you know,
you're cashing that thing immediately and headed out to the
Summer League. Shows, meals, drinks, roller coaster ride inclusive, two
nights day at luxore or ex Caliber starting at three
hundred and thirty bucks for two.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
What a deal.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Visit MGM Resorts dot com. We have the fifty eight
inch four k Ultra HDTV done with inventory.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Is that it case? We got it?
Speaker 7 (09:00):
That's it, But that door is still open.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Boys, I feel I understand we have let me. I mean,
I wasn't writing this down, but I have a relatively
good memory. Start with the lip bomb.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, I'd say probably two hundred sticks.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
More than one Terrence Man signed Jersey two of those
petit justin Herbert unsigned, that's exactly right, unsigned but still
in the plastic.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
So if you win and you're you know it's too
small for you, perfect gift, still in the plastic, charge
your hat, charge your hat still in the plastic.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Giant Dodger polos, or normal sized polos with some giant
ones mixed in, or just.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Giant, just giant. Three uh, double XLS, I believe is
what they are with the.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
We have a three X of four X and a
single X.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Okay, so a single X, single X, a triple X
and the quadruple X is what we have.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Correction is that single X is a double X, double
triple in, a quad.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Rouple double triple and a quadruple X Dodger polo with
you know, and these are official, These are.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Already You're right, these are already garnering interest. This text
from the sixty six to one. I'll take that four
X polo. I can diet.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
So we have yes, three of those. Uh and again
very I would say, not your not your standard shade
of Dodger blue, but a high end polo that would
be received well in the workplace.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
It's a city connect one, that's what it says on there.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
It says city connect on it's a city connect But
isn't that the fun fetti that's kind of a weird
city connect right. This has meant have been the one
before it says MLB City connect on it all right,
we'll take.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It whatever, so you will have given this away garage
sales style. I just want to establish these things.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So we can't have tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I think we can't have the grabbing hands to that
that it derails a show. We're trying to do a
show and people are.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Approaching contract the hand shot. Yeah, we can't contract no
turning back.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
So I think Kates, you know, because he often is,
is roaming. We're gonna have the Steven Albatrio banging out
rock music and commercial race live music. So Kate's can
walk around while the rock music's playing and maybe see
someone that would be a fit, like hey, hey, you
you look like you're clocking it at about three hundred pounds.
Here's a sweet four X. Now they may take offense
(11:26):
that they're like four X I'm a three X.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Uay, Oh what do you think, Tim? I mean we like,
I just want to establish this.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I just don't want people to approach us.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
We need to give it away like they The West
Covina was a mess. In the middle of every single
one of our segments, someone was coming up to the
desk while we're trying to do a radio show pointing
to something and saying can I have that?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
And on top of that, they thought it was a
Norserom's rack, like, oh you got in a medium or
a large?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Please?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That one guy tried to trade in three different things,
Oh you gave me this? Think can I have that lunchbox?
That's burst lunch box? You may not have Bert's lunch box.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
May I offer a bit of a counter opinion if possible? Okay,
wasn't it worth purging all that stuff though dealing with
a few snickley customers?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
If it wasn't for the one guy that tried to
trade up three different times, including acquiring Bert's lunchbox.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, people get drunker, their eyes get bigger, they stare
at the table, they see something that's there, they feel
in their mind. Perhaps that can be.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Mon And I do think it'll provide great content during
the breaks on Katese's YouTube show, to walk around and hey,
look what I'm giving away. Let's find out who's going
to get this sweet Terrence man autographed extra large clippers jersey.
Speaker 4 (12:41):

do it? How are you gonna handle that? You better

You get to know their personality and what they're like
before your friends do. Right, like you would have known

weird Wisconsin vibe. You would have known that before he

Between then and now, Don McClain, Great Sports Talk F one,
Great Sports Talk, three Things Thursday, lots of time.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
This is Petrosen Money.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
On demand, on demand, on demand demand.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Patroca Money A five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Tomorrow World Cup returns.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
We had France knocking off Morocco prior to our hitting
the air same tomorrow nooner Spain b Belgium should have
been Spain bus but they've played live crap and you
will hear World Cup matches here on A five to
seventy LA Sports, also on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the official audio provider of the World Cup in twenty
(19:40):
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Plenty going on, so we had to dial up Don McClain.
If it's going on, you gotta call Don. Pun't been
a lot of work for CIA's draft every year working
for Multime Networks, calling college basketball game the leading scor
in the history of u CLA, the leading score in
(20:05):
the history.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Of the Pac Twell which is.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Back yes, joining us on the soap out Toyota celebrity hotline.
It is the baron of Box Canyon himself. What's cracking down?
How are you?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I'm great A lot going.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
On, okay, Don, before we get to the Pro basketball
free agency stuff and the Clippers and the Aspiration controversy
with Kawhi Leonard and that trade and all that. UCLA
has a new euro and he's like the number one
euro ever you heard about this guy.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
I haven't seen him, but I've heard he's really good.
And if you're talking about a kid that's potentially being
talked about for being the number one pick in the draft,
it's like it's different. You're here for, oh, he could
be a first round pick in a year or two.
You're that all the time, but when you hear number
one pick, your yours kind of perk up. I'm planning
on kind of enough to speak because I haven't seen him,
watching a little bit of film, just because I'm curious,
(21:04):
but certainly a really good get for UCLA. Everybody in
the country wanted him, and I'm really looking forward to
showing up at UCLA practice here in a month or
two and checking them out.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Not to put you on a spot here, Don, but
just kind of I mean and all we know is
sort of the stats that are thrown at US. Tim
Kates did some digging around. He hung thirty seven and
nine rebounds on the US on the US and Phoebus
U seventeen World Cup last week. But the way I
understand is because he's seventeen, like they've got him for
multiple years, right, Like, this is not a guy that
(21:35):
can pop straight to the NBA with some of the
changes they made, right, So this is a guy that's
going to be around for a minute.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, you have to be nineteen. So I'm assuming if
he is that good, and by all accounts it seems
like he is. If people are throwing it's one thing
for people to throw around first round pick, that's one thing.
There's a lot of guys because there's thirty of them.
But if it's being thrown around that he could be
the number one pick in the draft, that means he's
really good. So hopefully, if he is that good, UCLA
(22:04):
has him for two years and he creates a bunch
of wins for them, and then he'll probably go to
the draft.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
How do you think they ended up kind of putting
this thing together? Is the collective getting better? Do they
have more money for anil Did they figure out the
euroth because it seems like a lot of the Serbians
go to Illinois. Now they've kind of got a pipeline
over there with Underwood, Like, what do you think put
this thing together?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
I think it's all of it now, Matt. I think
everybody looks to the nil. But really, when you talk
about high major programs, if you want a guide, there's
a number for that, and if you can get to
that number, then you're in the running. But it can't
just be the money. And I know it's not that
because we had a couple of guys that went back
to school and all the money was pretty equal. It's
really about the opportunity. And all these Europeans come over
(22:48):
here because they want to play in the NBA or
at least get a chance to play in the NBA.
So what program is going to maximize that the most
so that I can be a high draft pick and
play in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
How much Don has because you work in the draft
and with young players, how much has and you work
with European players, work with players from all over the world.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
How much has that changed?
Speaker 4 (23:12):
And how you do your job European basketball talking to
European people understanding how they develop basketball as opposed to
how we do it here.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Oh man, that could be a two hour conversation.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Pee.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I think what strikes you, being involved like I am,
is how much more fundamentally sound European players are when
they come over here than American players. Not to say
they're better, just that they're more fundamentally sound. They've been
taught from early age how to pass, how to dribble,
how to shoot, versus relying on athleticism a lot of
(23:46):
the time to be a really good basketball player. And
I think that's the thing that jumps off the page first.
And I think it is a case by case basis,
because there are guys that come here that really want
to play in the NBA and those guys that come
over here that want to play in the NBA. And
that becomes clear too that a lot of the Europeans
don't really want to live here, contrary to what's been
(24:09):
going on with World Cup and all the people that
come over here. I think a lot of guys that
play have grown up playing in the European professional leagues
are comfortable there, and so that's been kind of interesting
to watch over the years.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Too, all right, don to investigations. I'm not sure if
you saw it. I had assumed when I heard the
trade was on hold, that it was going to maybe
be a three teamer and can they figure out how
to move brandon Ingram or squeezing Peyton Watson or something
like that. But now is being shared and each team
has made a statement, the Clippers and the Raptors that
(24:44):
this exchange for Kawhi Leonard is on hold until the
league finishes their aspiration investigation, until some sort of discipline
is handed down to either the Clippers or Kawhi. The
Raptor's saying they are not going to agree to the
deal until they know kind of what the league's decision
is as it relates to his being available until next year.
(25:07):
What you you've worked with front offices before, Like, what
do you think ends up happening here?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
And how big of a deal is this?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Well, when I heard it I was on hold. I
thought it was because Kawhi couldn't get enough load management
days from the Raptors. Yeah, you know, this is a
hard one because it's an NBA investigation and they still
haven't come down with they're ruling, and what's going to happen,
and I get it from the raptors perspective, you know,
(25:36):
and it you know, the question should be brought up
or could be brought up. Is that part of the
reason why the Clippers wanted to offload Kawhi? What's part
of that? Like they think he might be missing a
bunch of games this year, and so from the Raptors perspective,
I mean, he's still making fifty something million this year.
What if he's gone for twenty five games or forty
(25:58):
games or something like that. Now you're paying fifty million
for half a season. So it'll be interesting to see
how it shakes out. I'm sure they'll get it done,
because it would be awfully awkward if the trade blew
up and Kawhi had to come back to the Clippers.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Especially if it sounds like they've already agreed why I
don't know, to hand him that one hundred and twenty
eight million dollar extension, which is the reason why he
wanted to go there. I know this, I don't know
if this is uh. I know how you'd answer this,
But can you see the NBA looking at this like, Ma,
this thing gets really ugly. If we bring a hammer
(26:33):
down on this.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yeah. But also I think I think yeah. I think
the other owners though, are like, hey, man, like, we
can't have this in our league. Everybody starts circumventing the cap.
We got a major problem. So it's one of the Yes,
I agreed, that's exactly right, Matt, But I think the
flip side is Adam Silver can't look at other owners
in the eyes. It's be like, hey, guys, this doesn't
(26:56):
look good for the league. Let's just sweep it under
the rug. I don't think that that can happen. And
because I don't think the other owners in the league
are gonna let it happen. Something there. We don't even
know if there is something there.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
No, I'm sure there's not. Come on, these these are
reputable people. Don you work in basketball. These are people
that are buttoned up. One and only. Don McClain is
our guest. He is our best guest and our best friend,
and we know him all too long and talk about
these things. Now, Don, you've always been a white guy
(27:27):
playing basketball, and not just a white guy, but an
American white which we established yesterday or last week was
a little different from the European white guys. But the
European white guys are certainly whiter than the black.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Guys, and that cannot be disputed.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
There has been a little bit of an outcry on
our station this week that this team has too many
white guys and how could a team with so many
white white guys win a championship. We are always very nonchalant,
having a good time about around here. We say white guy,
Filipino guy, black guy, Mexican guy, won a balling guy.
There's all kinds of guys out there, and doubt so.
(28:09):
I mean, as a white guy playing basketball at a
time when it was even less fashionable, what are your
thoughts when you hear all this white black talk.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Well, I mean, I'm not sure. I haven't followed what
the fallout is. I saw what stephen A said, but
I don't know what happened after that. But I would
just say this, I don't think just because it hasn't
been done doesn't mean it can't happen. Yes, it hasn't happened.
We're the three main guys on an NBA team were
(28:40):
white and they won a championship. But I don't think
that means it can't happen. And I'm not saying the
Lakers are going to win a championship this year. But
I just think it's that it's that just because it
hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Corrections on you don it did happen in nineteen fifty
three that George Might and Lakers with three.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
White guys and stuff.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Today, okay, is but what you know, just in terms
of the way they decided to go about this, I mean,
that's a lot of money to give the Walker Kessler,
It's a lot of draft capital to trade for Walker Kessler,
and with the contracts for Luca and Reeves, this is
now your nucleus for probably for the next four years.
Do you like the pieces they put around Luca? It
(29:26):
certainly looks like this was per his direction of what
he wanted, and it kind of reminds me of the
Brunson thing, like, Hey, we've got a star. Let's put
the right pieces around him and let's see.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
If we can do it exactly. And that, to me
is the real answer to your question. P is like,
you have one of the best players in the league
on your team, what does he need to win around him?
Austin Reeves could complimentary Guy can score, can get twenty
five at any time. If they're loading up on Luca,
they needed rim protection, they needed presents in the middle.
(29:58):
Walker Kessler perfect those two has just happened to be white.
But they are doing that. They're putting stuff around a
superstar player that hopefully is going to lead to them
winning more. Do I think they're championship team right now? No,
but I think this is a good foundation to keep
building around Luca that maybe, you know, in another you know, year,
(30:18):
or two transactions, whatever happens, that they are a team
that can win a championship.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know, I I hope so, don I hope so
for all our sake, we're gonna take it. We're going
to march across the Vincent Thomas b Dona. Were you
disappointed about the US and the World Company know that
you got pretty into it and in France and Morocco.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I think the thing that was disappointing to me was,
you know, I thought the US could beat Belgium, and
it was clear in five minutes they were not beating Belgium.
And I don't know anything about soccer and strategy and
all that, but I've watched enough sports in my life
where you can see a team that is overmatched even
(31:06):
from the beginning in they were. And I think the
most disappointing thing, and I know he's taken a lot
of incoming, is poolisic. Like, dude, if you're a star man,
you got to play like a star and if you're
gonna win big games, and that was a big game.
Either your star has to dominate in any sport, not
just soccer. Either your star has to dominate or one
or two other guys that you weren't expecting to have
(31:27):
gigantic games due. And it was none of that for
the US, which was disappointing.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
There he goes Don McClain, Ladies and gentlemen, he knows
it all, even the soccer. Don, thanks for doing it,
and we'll talk to you soon. And stay white yep
to you guys all right, feeling that good white pride
by the whites. There he goes Don McClain, coming back,
more great sports talk, some more World Cup analysis. You know,
(31:54):
it's all peripheral. I don't know anything that actually can't
really tell you anything going on on on the pitch,
but hey, I said, pitch, okay, we'll be back with that.

Pee the second stop of our three stop twenty twenty
six PMS summer tours at Brewery Eccinannaheim.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And there was a rumor I was not involved in this.
We had an oral surgery in the family today, so
you know, one of those numb faced, screaming children.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's in coherent.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
But I was told of a mining what would you
call that expedition deep into the bowels of the of
the building with you guys with your helmets on, with
the lights on the helmets, kind of like I don't
know which one of you would be, the little Asian guy. Yeah,
(02:33):
you know, like in a temple of doom, you and
you and Kate's in the mining cart, like flying all
through the building like space mountain, you know, with spining
and spinning all around and pulling out different prizes. Is
that Am I wrong to say I heard about this.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I heard you.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Had like a leather jacket on and like a lass sue.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Like a leather hat, maybe a whip. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The way I would describe it is we were walking
down the hallway here at the office. The door to
the prize closet was opened. We both dipped in there,
and I said, look at this ass. It's been sitting
here for years. Kate's start grabbing it and let's get
the hell out of here before anybody notices.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
So you showed almost Ulysses s Grant like leadership, uh
and said hey, get your get get on your hands and.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Knees, pick up these these these these nicknacks. I did
not carry anything out. Kates carried everything out. I just
realized that, Kates, do you want to like put it
all in a pile and we can snap a photo
of it and post it on petros and money.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
What are you sure carrying it out in like a
mining cart or in like a cart that you used
to like move your luggage at a hotel.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I think all the stuff we took because most of
it is clothing.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There's a little bit.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Oh he just grabbed the sack of about three hundred
sticks of lip bomb.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So there's that lip bomb.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So like everyone's going to get a prize.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We're gonna be able to pass out a five seventy
LA sports lit ball.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I've been in the prize closet relatively recently, and I
have the same feeling every time I look into the
prize closet.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And I've seen this stuff for years.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
That and I feel overwhelmed, and I know, almost kind
of like looking at my garage and what my son
has done to me. I know, if I dig into
the garage, I'll find valuable things, things that I can use,
things that I.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Need, even at some point things you can sell correct things.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That I could give away the listeners. But often when
I look in there, I'm just overwhelmed and I cannot
undertake the project.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's just too much for me. Usually we have something.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Coming up in the preps on the case just to
held up. It's gotta be.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I mean, if you're not clocking in at at least
two hundred and seventy five pounds, that Clippers number fourteen
Terrence Man autographed jersey is gonna be a little large
for you.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well, we have some extremely widely.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Right, and I think that I think the indie rock
kids like to wear them long anyway, right, Yeah, but
I mean, oh we got two of those Terrence Man.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
That one looks even bigger, a double X and an XL,
which is amazing. How we weren't able to dump.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Those yeah when he was still on the team, Like, hey,
maybe we give away the Terrence Man autographed the Clipper
jerseys when Terrence Man is still a Clipper three years ago.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
How about the one thousand lip bombs that are in there?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, mentioned that mentioned the sack of.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
A thanks a lot, Kates.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I don't know why they sitting Oh yeah, I see
what you're saying, Like.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Marty, like Matt's walking around like Jean Wilder pointed stuff,
and Kate's is like Marty Feldman and a young breaker
side limping after and picking up things off the floor.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, we need some of those lip bombs.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
You gotta get those.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
They got a dot. Oh look at that Dodger polos
and Dodger t shirts. What size is that T shirt?
That looks uh one of those.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
They like a little material or like the material of
your great uncle's polo, And you're like, god, this material
feels like we're an.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Official merchandise of MLB right now.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Potatoes, Nike T shirt, the Nike T shirt is is
gonna be sought after. That's that's gonna be a good get.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now the Palace, it's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I would keep going, I'm sorry, we're still we're still
doing inventory.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yeah, the polo, I would describe and again as I'm
looking at him, spread out those shoulders that thing is
it at minimum double XL bingo?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Okay, this is this city connect Dodgers. What is this
nighttime blue?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So we're helping, uh Kevin McHale, Yes, so, oh you know,
my wife told me I've got broad showed of that side.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Brought me these club and they're.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Great shoulders team, but I don't think they're filling up that.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
We have a three X and a four X in
the polo as well.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Wow, yeah, and it's not Dodger blue. I would describe
that as a I think in in automobile terms, a
cobalt blue is what that blue would be, like a
blue gray sort of tint there.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And we got three of those. And again, I.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Mean I just now I think of you and Kate's
doing like a drop in the mining cart and there's
like a big four X polo over your face and
you can't see where you're going.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You like, ditch it.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And then as soon as we throw it from our face,
we turn around and there's a guy with a curvy
sword that's closed in on us.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Well, we got polos forlos what else do we have?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, we also have the I.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Don't think you're getting a polo if you're.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Not a Look at that Chargers We got a Chargers
baseball cap official merch and a Justin Justin Hurt you
up Justin Herbert jersey. Well, like I said, the Dodger
polo is like an odd shade of blue.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Where is it a sign jersey from Justin Herbert? Is
it proven? He can read it? Right?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
It is now it is still in the plastics. So
it is a brand size medium. Oh look at that
size medium for the smaller listener.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So for our most petite listener.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
We have a jersey of a giant man.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Now we just added something else, and this was not
something we had to steal added per.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Game week steal any of it? Did you? Did you
guys steal it?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
We weren't told you we did it.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, we did not ask parent.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Wow, how was it opened?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
The door was.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Open every now and then the doors open.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
It's moving day here at iHeart.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, we're moving week. I should say the I did. Also.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I don't know if you want to give this a waypee,
but there were two boxes with my name on them,
and when I opened it up, there was a Little
Giants DVD autographed by you, me, Ronnie and David Besse.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Somebody should have that, right, So.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
That's in there as well, Dave.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
We said at two nights State an MGM Resorts destination.
Look at that Vegas and the Summer league's there right now.
So maybe you win tomorrow and next thing you know,
you're cashing that thing immediately and headed out to the
Summer League. Shows, meals, drinks, roller coaster ride inclusive, two
nights day at luxore or ex Caliber starting at three
hundred and thirty bucks for two.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
What a deal.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Visit MGM Resorts dot com. We have the fifty eight
inch four k Ultra HDTV done with inventory.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Is that it case? We got it?
Speaker 7 (09:00):
That's it, But that door is still open.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Boys, I feel I understand we have let me. I mean,
I wasn't writing this down, but I have a relatively
good memory. Start with the lip bomb.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, I'd say probably two hundred sticks.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
More than one Terrence Man signed Jersey two of those
petit justin Herbert unsigned, that's exactly right, unsigned but still
in the plastic.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
So if you win and you're you know it's too
small for you, perfect gift, still in the plastic, charge
your hat, charge your hat still in the plastic.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Giant Dodger polos, or normal sized polos with some giant
ones mixed in, or just.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Giant, just giant. Three uh, double XLS, I believe is
what they are with the.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
We have a three X of four X and a
single X.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Okay, so a single X, single X, a triple X
and the quadruple X is what we have.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Correction is that single X is a double X, double
triple in, a quad.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Rouple double triple and a quadruple X Dodger polo with
you know, and these are official, These are.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Already You're right, these are already garnering interest. This text
from the sixty six to one. I'll take that four
X polo. I can diet.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
So we have yes, three of those. Uh and again
very I would say, not your not your standard shade
of Dodger blue, but a high end polo that would
be received well in the workplace.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
It's a city connect one, that's what it says on there.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
It says city connect on it's a city connect But
isn't that the fun fetti that's kind of a weird
city connect right. This has meant have been the one
before it says MLB City connect on it all right,
we'll take.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It whatever, so you will have given this away garage
sales style. I just want to establish these things.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So we can't have tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I think we can't have the grabbing hands to that
that it derails a show. We're trying to do a
show and people are.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Approaching contract the hand shot. Yeah, we can't contract no
turning back.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
So I think Kates, you know, because he often is,
is roaming. We're gonna have the Steven Albatrio banging out
rock music and commercial race live music. So Kate's can
walk around while the rock music's playing and maybe see
someone that would be a fit, like hey, hey, you
you look like you're clocking it at about three hundred pounds.
Here's a sweet four X. Now they may take offense
(11:26):
that they're like four X I'm a three X.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Uay, Oh what do you think, Tim? I mean we like,
I just want to establish this.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I just don't want people to approach us.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
We need to give it away like they The West
Covina was a mess. In the middle of every single
one of our segments, someone was coming up to the
desk while we're trying to do a radio show pointing
to something and saying can I have that?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
And on top of that, they thought it was a
Norserom's rack, like, oh you got in a medium or
a large?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Please?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That one guy tried to trade in three different things,
Oh you gave me this? Think can I have that lunchbox?
That's burst lunch box? You may not have Bert's lunch box.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
May I offer a bit of a counter opinion if possible? Okay,
wasn't it worth purging all that stuff though dealing with
a few snickley customers?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
If it wasn't for the one guy that tried to
trade up three different times, including acquiring Bert's lunchbox.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, people get drunker, their eyes get bigger, they stare
at the table, they see something that's there, they feel
in their mind. Perhaps that can be.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Mon And I do think it'll provide great content during
the breaks on Katese's YouTube show, to walk around and hey,
look what I'm giving away. Let's find out who's going
to get this sweet Terrence man autographed extra large clippers jersey.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
But when it comes to the Wonderland Murder, John Holmes
Big Puzzo Prizes.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's the Those are the raffle tickets, a.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Deep voice of Matt Smith, the voice of the Bolts.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
And I think it'll be different this time from September
because we have live music, so the people are going
to be entertained during the breaks.

Between then and now, Don McClain, Great Sports Talk F one,
Great Sports Talk, three Things Thursday, lots of time.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
This is Petrosen Money.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
On demand, on demand, on demand demand.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Patroca Money A five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Tomorrow World Cup returns.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
We had France knocking off Morocco prior to our hitting
the air same tomorrow nooner Spain b Belgium should have
been Spain bus but they've played live crap and you
will hear World Cup matches here on A five to
seventy LA Sports, also on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the official audio provider of the World Cup in twenty
(19:40):
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Plenty going on, so we had to dial up Don McClain.
If it's going on, you gotta call Don. Pun't been
a lot of work for CIA's draft every year working
for Multime Networks, calling college basketball game the leading scor
in the history of u CLA, the leading score in
(20:05):
the history.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Of the Pac Twell which is.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Back yes, joining us on the soap out Toyota celebrity hotline.
It is the baron of Box Canyon himself. What's cracking down?
How are you?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I'm great A lot going.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
On, okay, Don, before we get to the Pro basketball
free agency stuff and the Clippers and the Aspiration controversy
with Kawhi Leonard and that trade and all that. UCLA
has a new euro and he's like the number one
euro ever you heard about this guy.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
I haven't seen him, but I've heard he's really good.
And if you're talking about a kid that's potentially being
talked about for being the number one pick in the draft,
it's like it's different. You're here for, oh, he could
be a first round pick in a year or two.
You're that all the time, but when you hear number
one pick, your yours kind of perk up. I'm planning
on kind of enough to speak because I haven't seen him,
watching a little bit of film, just because I'm curious,
(21:04):
but certainly a really good get for UCLA. Everybody in
the country wanted him, and I'm really looking forward to
showing up at UCLA practice here in a month or
two and checking them out.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Not to put you on a spot here, Don, but
just kind of I mean and all we know is
sort of the stats that are thrown at US. Tim
Kates did some digging around. He hung thirty seven and
nine rebounds on the US on the US and Phoebus
U seventeen World Cup last week. But the way I
understand is because he's seventeen, like they've got him for
multiple years, right, Like, this is not a guy that
(21:35):
can pop straight to the NBA with some of the
changes they made, right, So this is a guy that's
going to be around for a minute.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, you have to be nineteen. So I'm assuming if
he is that good, and by all accounts it seems
like he is. If people are throwing it's one thing
for people to throw around first round pick, that's one thing.
There's a lot of guys because there's thirty of them.
But if it's being thrown around that he could be
the number one pick in the draft, that means he's
really good. So hopefully, if he is that good, UCLA
(22:04):
has him for two years and he creates a bunch
of wins for them, and then he'll probably go to
the draft.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
How do you think they ended up kind of putting
this thing together? Is the collective getting better? Do they
have more money for anil Did they figure out the
euroth because it seems like a lot of the Serbians
go to Illinois. Now they've kind of got a pipeline
over there with Underwood, Like, what do you think put
this thing together?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
I think it's all of it now, Matt. I think
everybody looks to the nil. But really, when you talk
about high major programs, if you want a guide, there's
a number for that, and if you can get to
that number, then you're in the running. But it can't
just be the money. And I know it's not that
because we had a couple of guys that went back
to school and all the money was pretty equal. It's
really about the opportunity. And all these Europeans come over
(22:48):
here because they want to play in the NBA or
at least get a chance to play in the NBA.
So what program is going to maximize that the most
so that I can be a high draft pick and
play in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
How much Don has because you work in the draft
and with young players, how much has and you work
with European players, work with players from all over the world.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
How much has that changed?
Speaker 4 (23:12):
And how you do your job European basketball talking to
European people understanding how they develop basketball as opposed to
how we do it here.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Oh man, that could be a two hour conversation.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Pee.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I think what strikes you, being involved like I am,
is how much more fundamentally sound European players are when
they come over here than American players. Not to say
they're better, just that they're more fundamentally sound. They've been
taught from early age how to pass, how to dribble,
how to shoot, versus relying on athleticism a lot of
(23:46):
the time to be a really good basketball player. And
I think that's the thing that jumps off the page first.
And I think it is a case by case basis,
because there are guys that come here that really want
to play in the NBA and those guys that come
over here that want to play in the NBA. And
that becomes clear too that a lot of the Europeans
don't really want to live here, contrary to what's been
(24:09):
going on with World Cup and all the people that
come over here. I think a lot of guys that
play have grown up playing in the European professional leagues
are comfortable there, and so that's been kind of interesting
to watch over the years.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Too, all right, don to investigations. I'm not sure if
you saw it. I had assumed when I heard the
trade was on hold, that it was going to maybe
be a three teamer and can they figure out how
to move brandon Ingram or squeezing Peyton Watson or something
like that. But now is being shared and each team
has made a statement, the Clippers and the Raptors that
(24:44):
this exchange for Kawhi Leonard is on hold until the
league finishes their aspiration investigation, until some sort of discipline
is handed down to either the Clippers or Kawhi. The
Raptor's saying they are not going to agree to the
deal until they know kind of what the league's decision
is as it relates to his being available until next year.
(25:07):
What you you've worked with front offices before, Like, what
do you think ends up happening here?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
And how big of a deal is this?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Well, when I heard it I was on hold. I
thought it was because Kawhi couldn't get enough load management
days from the Raptors. Yeah, you know, this is a
hard one because it's an NBA investigation and they still
haven't come down with they're ruling, and what's going to happen,
and I get it from the raptors perspective, you know,
(25:36):
and it you know, the question should be brought up
or could be brought up. Is that part of the
reason why the Clippers wanted to offload Kawhi? What's part
of that? Like they think he might be missing a
bunch of games this year, and so from the Raptors perspective,
I mean, he's still making fifty something million this year.
What if he's gone for twenty five games or forty
(25:58):
games or something like that. Now you're paying fifty million
for half a season. So it'll be interesting to see
how it shakes out. I'm sure they'll get it done,
because it would be awfully awkward if the trade blew
up and Kawhi had to come back to the Clippers.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Especially if it sounds like they've already agreed why I
don't know, to hand him that one hundred and twenty
eight million dollar extension, which is the reason why he
wanted to go there. I know this, I don't know
if this is uh. I know how you'd answer this,
But can you see the NBA looking at this like, Ma,
this thing gets really ugly. If we bring a hammer
(26:33):
down on this.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yeah. But also I think I think yeah. I think
the other owners though, are like, hey, man, like, we
can't have this in our league. Everybody starts circumventing the cap.
We got a major problem. So it's one of the Yes,
I agreed, that's exactly right, Matt, But I think the
flip side is Adam Silver can't look at other owners
in the eyes. It's be like, hey, guys, this doesn't
(26:56):
look good for the league. Let's just sweep it under
the rug. I don't think that that can happen. And
because I don't think the other owners in the league
are gonna let it happen. Something there. We don't even
know if there is something there.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
No, I'm sure there's not. Come on, these these are
reputable people. Don you work in basketball. These are people
that are buttoned up. One and only. Don McClain is
our guest. He is our best guest and our best friend,
and we know him all too long and talk about
these things. Now, Don, you've always been a white guy
(27:27):
playing basketball, and not just a white guy, but an
American white which we established yesterday or last week was
a little different from the European white guys. But the
European white guys are certainly whiter than the black.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Guys, and that cannot be disputed.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
There has been a little bit of an outcry on
our station this week that this team has too many
white guys and how could a team with so many
white white guys win a championship. We are always very nonchalant,
having a good time about around here. We say white guy,
Filipino guy, black guy, Mexican guy, won a balling guy.
There's all kinds of guys out there, and doubt so.
(28:09):
I mean, as a white guy playing basketball at a
time when it was even less fashionable, what are your
thoughts when you hear all this white black talk.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Well, I mean, I'm not sure. I haven't followed what
the fallout is. I saw what stephen A said, but
I don't know what happened after that. But I would
just say this, I don't think just because it hasn't
been done doesn't mean it can't happen. Yes, it hasn't happened.
We're the three main guys on an NBA team were
(28:40):
white and they won a championship. But I don't think
that means it can't happen. And I'm not saying the
Lakers are going to win a championship this year. But
I just think it's that it's that just because it
hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Corrections on you don it did happen in nineteen fifty
three that George Might and Lakers with three.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
White guys and stuff.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Today, okay, is but what you know, just in terms
of the way they decided to go about this, I mean,
that's a lot of money to give the Walker Kessler,
It's a lot of draft capital to trade for Walker Kessler,
and with the contracts for Luca and Reeves, this is
now your nucleus for probably for the next four years.
Do you like the pieces they put around Luca? It
(29:26):
certainly looks like this was per his direction of what
he wanted, and it kind of reminds me of the
Brunson thing, like, Hey, we've got a star. Let's put
the right pieces around him and let's see.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
If we can do it exactly. And that, to me
is the real answer to your question. P is like,
you have one of the best players in the league
on your team, what does he need to win around him?
Austin Reeves could complimentary Guy can score, can get twenty
five at any time. If they're loading up on Luca,
they needed rim protection, they needed presents in the middle.
(29:58):
Walker Kessler perfect those two has just happened to be white.
But they are doing that. They're putting stuff around a
superstar player that hopefully is going to lead to them
winning more. Do I think they're championship team right now? No,
but I think this is a good foundation to keep
building around Luca that maybe, you know, in another you know, year,
(30:18):
or two transactions, whatever happens, that they are a team
that can win a championship.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know, I I hope so, don I hope so
for all our sake, we're gonna take it. We're going
to march across the Vincent Thomas b Dona. Were you
disappointed about the US and the World Company know that
you got pretty into it and in France and Morocco.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I think the thing that was disappointing to me was,
you know, I thought the US could beat Belgium, and
it was clear in five minutes they were not beating Belgium.
And I don't know anything about soccer and strategy and
all that, but I've watched enough sports in my life
where you can see a team that is overmatched even
(31:06):
from the beginning in they were. And I think the
most disappointing thing, and I know he's taken a lot
of incoming, is poolisic. Like, dude, if you're a star man,
you got to play like a star and if you're
gonna win big games, and that was a big game.
Either your star has to dominate in any sport, not
just soccer. Either your star has to dominate or one
or two other guys that you weren't expecting to have
(31:27):
gigantic games due. And it was none of that for
the US, which was disappointing.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
There he goes Don McClain, Ladies and gentlemen, he knows
it all, even the soccer. Don, thanks for doing it,
and we'll talk to you soon. And stay white yep
to you guys all right, feeling that good white pride
by the whites. There he goes Don McClain, coming back,
more great sports talk, some more World Cup analysis. You know,
(31:54):
it's all peripheral. I don't know anything that actually can't
really tell you anything going on on on the pitch,
but hey, I said, pitch, okay, we'll be back with that.
And then we got a whole other hour before off
night Dodge talking
