Welcome three hours of great sports dotto the Petros and Money Show on air
at am five seventy LA Sports withthe ability to really go anywhere and do
anything, streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadioapp hosted by Mad Money Smith. Check
out the Fit and Petros Papadakas.That's what we like to hear. Here
(00:21):
they are on your home of theLA Dodgers in sync and down the Green,
Petros and Money Trosen, Money trosIn Money, Rosy Barron, James,
Barron, James, Barron, James, Barron James, can't do it
Selling Barron Jos Warriors, Big Bron, you talk, you talk, can't
(00:49):
do it. Selling, cannot playwith him, cannot win with him,
cannot coach with him. Can't doit Blevron James. You see the march.
It couldn't be anything else. Barryleft a mark on my ass with
his horns. I embarked on lifeat a stroat Bond. I didn't do
anything. I don't have an explanation. Call it out. Vic No Dodgers
(01:15):
Baseball tonight from the Gallupin Motors Broadcastbooth. Tomorrow they will take on the
Giants at seven pm. So wegot a full four hours halfway home.
You missed Don mclayin right at thestart of the show, immediately after Bronnie
James was drafted by the Lakers.We will replay it because it was an
awesome conversation anyway, but this wasreally yah. Yeah, this is great
analysis from a great basketball mind.You could replay Barry too, very much
(01:40):
more one sided than Don. Donnyhad the positive and the negative. Bronnie's
a hard worker and he was thesecond best player at the whole NBA combat.
Yeah, that's what he's courting out. Barry's friend and he was the
one that told him Tatum was betterthan Lonzo Ball, which if you recall,
just about everybody said. But Magictold us that he had strawberry pancakes,
that Lvar made strawberry pancakes and hesaw and it was very Arry talked
(02:02):
about him being a nice kid anda hard worker. It was very similar.
Remember Magic's defense of why he tookLonzo Ball, a guy that had
a bit of an awkward shot andpeople worried about him being able to get
it off, and does that reallyplay? You kind of need a dad,
crazy dad, And he said,I had breakfast at this family's house,
(02:24):
and I saw the bond between fatherand son and how all these boys
interact, and that's what sold me. What Rob Polenka told us was he's
a hard worker, he's a highcharacter. When you draft someone good,
you know what they typically say,Guy's got a forty inch vertical, which
(02:45):
Bronnie does. He's got incredible length. He's only six' one, but
he's got the wingspan of a guyat six' eight. He defends four
position. That's typically what the conversationis, not hey, she's a nice
school. They drafted Colin Yee.Basically, he's a great guy. He
works for a lot of jobs,love having them, works hard time for
(03:08):
three things. This is this isone of the most embarrassing things. And
somebody pointed this out. It's notjust embarrassing that the Lakers did this,
because everybody knew they were going todo it. What's embarrassing is the media
people trumpeting this and saying things thatthey would never say about anybody else,
like any good father would do this. It's like, what the majority of
(03:34):
fathers aren't involved in a game ofcompetition. Any good father would do this,
any good father. I'm betting onthese genes. Well, let's continue
that conversation as the number one thing. We'll go through all the NBA draft
(03:57):
and free agent conversation right now.Ultimately, this is what I believe it
came down to. It was impossible, and this I think should should help
guide you and how you feel aboutthe selection of Bronnie James at fifty five.
Ultimately, it was too big ofa risk for Rob Polinka and Jeanie
(04:20):
Buss and Nick Mazela and Joey Bussand Jesse Buss and Kurt Rambus and that
collective in that room and JJ Reddickto draft any other player at fifty five
as long as they were going toresign lebron James. Because everybody's been talking
(04:43):
about how will Bronni be received inthe locker room, that number fifty five
pick would be absolutely eviscerated by Lebron. Oh. He would make sure you
want to talk about sabotage. Hewould ensure that that fifty fifth pick had
absolutely zero chance of success because youhumiliated his son by allowing him to go
(05:09):
undrafted. Bronnie had to get drafted. His path to the NBA. Even
though he was drafted fifty fifth overall, and everybody's talking about, oh,
what does a fifty fifth pick everbecome? Well, there's a reason they
have it if it's not a risk. If the fifty fifth pick. I
just love how everybody yells at you, like all this new stuff are starting
(05:30):
to make a big deal. Well, then why have it? Then?
Why have a fifty fifth pick?Why not just cut the draft off at
thirty and have a free for allyou can sign, Yeah, you can
sign whoever you want. Let's justhave a first round that goes to thirty.
You get one pick every year,and then you can go out and
sign whoever the hell you want afterthat. No, it doesn't matter.
(05:51):
That's why the pick exists. That'swhy they're sixty picks every year, and
that's why second rounders like Gilbert Arenasand Draymond Green and the three time MVP
Nikola Jokic and just last year,Hey, how about Nick van Exel for
the Lakers as a second round pick? How did that work out? It's
a hell of a lot better thantheir first pick. George Lloyd, that's
(06:12):
who it was. I don't know, but I don't like it Lloyd or
Peter in such a way. Yes, so there's a reason why there's sixty
picks in the draft, because teamsfind value in them. And as we've
said repeatedly throughout this show, allyou have to do is go back to
last year and look at what happenedwith Trace Jackson Davis that Golden State took
with the fifty seventh pick. Theguy averaged twenty minutes a game and nearly
(06:38):
double digit points and five rebounds ina block with the fifty seventh pick.
That's what he contributes. Now,I would assume that Brownie James is not
going to play in a game thisyear. If it is a true meritocracy
as to who makes the roster andwho gets put into a game, we
should make history in a Laker uniform. And that's all this is. It
(06:58):
is playcating an individual who was inthe conversation as the greatest basketball player of
all time and happens to be onyour roster and has decided that instead of
his son staying in college developing hisgame, making a crap ton of money
on nil deals, that he insteadwants him in the NBA and he wants
him in a uniform on the benchnext to him. We don't know if
(07:21):
that's Bronni's just if that's his desire. And Bronnie would have liked to have
stayed in college and hung around kidsand made a bunch of five ten million
bucks in nil money and endorsement dollarsthrough Instagram and TikTok and all of those
platforms. But now he's a Lakerbecause his dad wanted him to be.
And ultimately, that's what it comesdown to. And you can be okay
with that and say whatever Lebron's earnedit. I think it's gross. I
(07:45):
do too. I think if Lebronreally wanted Bronnie on the team, he
could have run through a channel thatwould have been a legitimate channel. He's
not drafted. He's signed, justlike Austin Reeves was by Nick Mazzella as
an undrafted college free agent. He'sput on the South Bay Lakers, and
he earns his way onto an NBAroster. In all it would have taken
(08:11):
was three fewer picks, three fewerselections. Your son didn't get to have
a celebration in his honor and wasn'table, you know, and wouldn't be
talked about on ESPN by Adrian Wojnarowskiand Stephen A. Smith and j Billis
and the Wolfman Bob Myers. Butthat's what he wanted. He wanted his
(08:31):
son to have a draft moment,so he demanded that the Lakers draft him
fifty fifth. Otherwise, this isBronnie's day, right, Bronnie's moment,
and that's what he wants. Hewants a press conference with Rob Polaka and
Bronnie has a. He has respondedon social media. The Lakers put out
the welcome with Bronnie James shooting ashot, and he wrote beyond blessed.
(08:54):
Yeah, you know, I guessyou would say blessed life. It is
a blessed life and may he findgreat success. Hope it all works out
for him. By all accounts,Don McLean said, we joined us earlier.
Barry said it in the last segmentas working with guys that worked with
him. I guess in some sortof summer travel ball teams. Seems like
a great kid. Hopefully it worksout for him and all of the work
(09:16):
that his dad has done. I'ma star effort, so I have star
yeah to diminish his likability rating.Tired of the starf and Matt tired of
it. We are subjects of theking, and we nevus the king.
We knew this was going to happen. Fata compley. It's just another rung
(09:41):
climbing Jacob's ladder, step by step, rung by rung, and at the
top of the ladder get nailed bythe king. At the bottom of the
ladder you get a scrowed on yourget nailed by the up the ladder.
You gotta service the king real quick. Yes, I feel bad, honestly,
this is what I truly I think. This is one of the things
(10:05):
to also keep in mind. Thereare Khalil Ware was that the individual that
Don wanted to celebrate talk about thehard work he put in, how he
was written off at Oregon, waswritten off for half of his time at
Indiana, and you know, heand Khalil and his team put together an
opportunity to change his attitude and focusand become the player that they all believed
(10:28):
he could be, and he realizedthat dream by being selected fifteenth. Overall,
very emotional, all those stories areovershadowed. All the stories camp Spencer
busted his asset Rutgers for four years, transfers to Yukon and walks in there
as a twenty three year old.I don't care. Hownjie White Guy helps
him win a National champions I don'tcare. Nobody cares. I don't care.
(10:50):
I don't care about Joe Mazzella's Tshirt. Yeah, I don't care
about anything. All I care aboutis the King and JJ Reddick and Brownie
Jane and that and for and andeverybody's asinine nailed by the King reaction to
this, that's the sect like Berryand look, Barry just came on and
talked about Brownie for ten minutes,and when he brought up Dalton Connect's name,
(11:13):
we were like, you know,he's a lot better, right,
Dalt Connect's a great story. DaltKonnect was six' one in high school.
He sprouted like Dalton Control. Hegoes to a JC for two years,
outplays everybody in his JC league.Control never gunstock. Control goes to Northern
Colorado, plays great, a smallstar. Oregon wanted him big War.
(11:39):
Tennessee won the bidding War, theNIL bidding War, and what does he
do. He takes over the SEC. He's SEC Player of the Year.
Tennessee wins the regular season SEC,and Dalton Konnect shows up and arguably has
one half of the responsibility of themost exciting game in the NCAA tournament this
(12:01):
year. Tennessee beat Craton in theSweet sixteen on Friday, Perdue Heldolphinzaga.
Here's Dalton Connect's first shot and it'sgoing, and that's what you're gonna see
from him. He's a tremendous playercoming off screens. Connects control. He
(12:22):
and Zach Edy in the Elite eightfor a right to go to the Final
four. As teams that have struggledto make it to the Final four in
Tennessee and Purdue over the years.It was a high leverage affair. Ends
up going for thirty eight and tradingpunches with the two time Player of the
Year after being at Northern Colorado fortwo years and at JC for two years
prior to that. A guy thatalso believe it or not worked hard,
(12:46):
high character and put in whoa wait, yeah, I was only only there's
only one hard working player and thisdrapped the rest of these guys. They
just float in on talent. Thisis a guy that those long Frenchmen.
Yeah, this is a This isan exceptional pick by Rob Polinka and the
Lakers. He is going to stepin, make threes, defend he can,
(13:09):
but he's not six to one.But at six to six, guess
what he can do compromise a defensewith the ball in his hand. Bronni
grew two more inches. He's backto see I still hear that. Somebody
suggested that maybe he could still finda growth spurt, which was an interesting
that would be Ramona well done onthat front. He can get to six
five? Yeah, maybe she said. Also she's betting on the jeans.
(13:30):
Okay, well, good luck onthat. I'd like to celebrate the I'm
gonna have dinner tonight with Sean Lennon. Celebrate the jeans. Uh like,
take a moment to celebrate Dalton Connect. Great pick, way to go,
Rob. That was deserving of thehigh fives and the hugs. And then
can you believe the way this thingbroke and this guy fell to us?
A plug and play twenty three yearold that's ready to contribute next year with
(13:52):
Lebron James, who's gonna be fortygreat thirty nine right now, gonna be
forty in December. The brownie stuffis painful, gross. Yeah, let's
celebrate connect. That's what I'm gonnacelebrate. It's like when what Norm Chow
said when I told him Philip Riverswasn't invited to the highestman ceremony so many
years ago. Let's sick. Itwas sick. He was sickened by it.
(14:13):
I was sickened by that North Carolinastate, all right, rad Obama
wanted him to be a tight end. Disgusting. That's sick. More to
come. We'll do an F onereport. We got some local knowledge,
but Ronnie's a laker. We're gonnatake a little We're just gonna Rannie's a
laker. We're gonna walk away fromit for a second and then we're gonna
(14:37):
walk it back. Walk away.We got to. I mean, it's
been seeing me walking by. Tearsare in my eyes. Look away,
baby, The F one report comingup. Man Petrow some money at five
seventy LA SPORTSLV, everywhere on theiHeartRadio. At Big Day today, the
second round of the NBA Draft,everybody waiting with baited breath until pick fifty
(14:58):
five was on the clock. Whenthe pick was in, the name Brownie
James was red and many a sportsfans across the country formed an opinion.
If you would like to hear oursit is shared by the great Don McClain.
You will hear it in about anhour. Make sure you are sticking
around. We are here until sevenpm and then Tim Kats will have off
(15:18):
day Dodger talk with a farm report. Still plenty to get to between now
and then, though, including niceman, it's time for a quick F
one report. Last weekend in Barcelona, Max for Stopping took the Spanish Grand
Prix for his seventh win and elevenraces this season. Believe it's pronounced Barcelona,
Barcelona. I said that, soyou wouldn't say it the other way.
(15:41):
God, what people say Bartholona,That's what I would have said.
Yeah, I can't win. Youcan't win, You can't win. The
three time reigning world champion lost outon the pole Smoker to sprite like Lando
Norris and the resurgence of the Clarenteam on Saturday, but they definitely overtook
(16:04):
the curiously odd looking George Russell inhis silver arrow early on Sunday to pull
away for a comfortable win in hissixty first career Grand Prix win. The
Dutchman took the championship lead after winningthe Spanish Grand Prix back in twenty twenty
two, a lead he is notrelinquished, since a run of over seven
hundred and seventy days at the topof the standing seems like a long time
(16:26):
it does. Norris would bring hisMcLaren home for a solid P two finish,
with Sir Lewis Alright Hamilton ramming outof the podium for p three.
All Right helda first podium finished witha seven time Wispy Voice World champion this
season. I've bet at a disadvicethanks to Arka on our team and I'm
not at via Bay. But theMerks had a solid weekend, with Russell
(16:48):
bringing home forth place of several arrows, finally heading in the right direction and
their quest to return to the frontof the field. He's hoff the drum
arm going the other way in Spain, where the horses of Ferrari Lil Chuck
Leclair and the self proclaimed smooth operatorCarlos Signs both struggled with pace last weekend,
the Scooteria Factory team not enjoying thelong corners at the circuit day.
(17:15):
Barcelona, come on, man,are we really doing that? It's Barcela
finishing in fifth and sixth and neveroffering up much of a challenge to the
front runners. Things got so bleakfor the scooteria that the two teammates had
a brief incident on lap three comingtogether into turn one, when Leclair pushed
Signs off track while trying to conservehis tires. After the race, Signs
(17:37):
accused Lil Chuck of complaining too much. More signs that the honeymoon is coming
to an end for the two,with Signs being replaced by Hamilton next season.
The European swing continues. This isthe greatest swing in the F one
calendar this week in Austria. Isn'tthis great? More on that race in
a second, As the F oneCircus Chris crosses the continent for the next
(18:00):
six races over the summer months.But as you know, Matt, the
PMS F one report is more thanjust on track news. We'd like to
focus on the off track activities theworld's best drivers often have many, and
we'll do that today with some newsand notes from the F one wags.
We have documented many changes coming tothe driver's lineup for next season. Only
(18:22):
seven current drivers were secured rides forthe twenty twenty five seasons. Those are
starting to fill up. While thoseare being negotiated. There have been some
recent updates to the F one Wagslineup as well. Fresh Office first grand
pre win in Miami Sprite like Lando, Norris made a move in the significant
other seat next to him. Thediminutive brit a favorite amongst the F one
(18:45):
fan base, is currently dating Portugueseactress and model Margarida Corseerro. I think
that's exactly right. Margarita Corcierro Corcierro, who broke up with Brazilian football player
(19:06):
Jao Felix after a four year relationship, has over two million social media flowers,
so she's more popular than him.An actress and a model, Matt,
the twenty one year old Portuguese linguisasausage smoke show tool Threat, has
appeared in four Portuguese television movies,all of them named after sausage. We
(19:29):
are your official home of Portuguese Novella'sMatt not even close, not even true.
She was also a contestant on thePortuguese version of Dancing with the Stars.
Now. Lando and Margharita got firstlinked up when he was seen driving
her in Joo, her boyfriend atthe time, around Monaco. Earlier this
(19:52):
year while the pair was still dating, and then they were spotted again following
her split from it. He waslike their chauffeur and they're like NA on
the back seat and he's like,I look ahead, And then next thing
you know, little Lando crawls upbetween her long legs. Have you seen
my watch? Could this be theofficial first rebound for the sprite light Lando
Norris? Could it? Yeah?Shut up? Oh we think it is?
(20:19):
And more f one wags moves.Frenchmen and alpine driver Estimanocne is currently
dating model and medical student Flavi Bottlela, another dual threat. Oconne, who
has a vast a likability to getunder everybody's skin on the circuit, went
official with his relationship earlier this year. Is out bottle La for next year.
(20:42):
I read that he might be out. He might be. I think
you're out, dude. She wasseeing the paddock in the paddock, cheering
on her beloved. She has overone and a half million followers on Instagram.
Twenty year old medical student with aspirationsto become Oh that buck tooth Frenchman
doesn't have that a surge him.She's a rocket and a surgeon. Matt
(21:07):
born in Gice, France. Flaviholds the prestigious title of Miss Colte de
Azour, a remarkable achievement in theworld of beauty pageants. That's a big
one. Yeah, that's the onethat. Uh, that's the big one.
Honey boo boo won it. Beyondthe glitz and glamour, she aspires
to leverage her platform to contribute tofight against cancer it caused close to her
(21:30):
heart. She has portrayed as awoman of substance, displaying resilience and commitment
to making a poss a deep impactbeyond the spectacle of the fashion world and
all will hare having very expensive tastest. O'conne previously dated Italian model Elena Berry.
(21:51):
However, the two had quite asplit in twenty twenty three, with
fans only finding out that when theynoticed that he had unfollowed her on instant
through all the legend tuck hits breakup. That's standard. That's a standard
operating procedure these days. Oh,you've gone from taken to it's complicated.
(22:11):
Lastly, Matt, when you're awine voice Canadian, it's got to be
tough to wheel the ladies, butit helps when your father's a billionaire and
he employs you as a mediocre Formulaone driver. Such are the challenges for
Lance Stroll Strong, Oh so ridiculous? What the hell happened? It's not
that ridiculous, Lance the Winding Voice. Stroll, who was previously linked to
(22:34):
Italian model seta part of the Ali, has a new squeeze in his life
and is currently dating Canadian model MaryLou Bellinger. Hey, you could be
so effing godly literally saved kittens fromthe ocean. So what so I got
(22:56):
drunk and whipped out matise. There'svery little information about the French Canadian model
other than the fact that she gotdrunk and whipped out of teas in an
oiler's game. The twenty four yearold Bellinger is from Montreal. She's five
eight, light brown hair, andis represented by the Select Modeling Agency out
of la That's a big deal.That's like, that's a big or.
(23:19):
The two went public with their relationshiplate in twenty twenty three, when Bellinger
posted an image of the couple ata football game. Whatever Stroll scores off
the track has not translated to hissuccess on the track. The Whiny Voiced
Wonder currently sits eleventh and the driverstandings, trailing his teammate and two time
world champion Fernando Alonso by twenty fourpoints. Geez, But when the dad
(23:41):
owns a team, Hey, what'stwenty four points? When you're wheeling leggy
models, the legend, the legend. Don't cry for Lance. There's always
his fledgling tennis career that daddy willfinance as well if this doesn't work out,
all right. The Red Bull isthe side for the Austrian Grand Prix
(24:03):
this weekend. Racetracks don't come muchmore picturesque than the circuit at Spielberg Matt
located in the stunning valley of theRiver Moor the Styrian Mountains. The valley
is lined with castles and ruins,and it's home to the museum in Graz,
dedicated to the city's most favorite sunFarnald Schwartzene is sound right, Yes,
(24:25):
right, It's got his own museum, just like the Lebron Museum at
that mall with that cool draft suitright when you walk into foyer. Now,
does the mall and Akron have thebreath taking backdrop of the Austrian Alps.
No. The Red Bull ring isa popular stop for drivers teams and
fans alike packs quite a bunch fora short track. The first half rewards
(24:47):
power as the cars blast along threestraits separated by a pair of uphill right
handers, but the drivers work theirway downhill. It becomes a toboggan ride
of sorts. Matt, It's kindof cool, just like the matter hornet
isn that is there lay the eleven. It's like constantly driving by Bobby Miller's
(25:11):
tattoo over and over. Did yousee the red eyes man? Freaked me
out? I think there's two ofthem. The eleventh race of the twenty
twenty fourth season marks the second raceof the European Triple Header, following Barcelona
and preceding the historic British Grand Prixat Silverstone next week. The Austrian Grand
(25:33):
Prix also welcomes the third sprint ofthe season, following China in Miami,
with Austin Brazilian cutter remaining on theschedule for sprint racing. Strong performance from
Max for stopping in the Red Bullteam at their home circuit is about as
the shirt as Tim Kats ordering thebonus pack from the uh smacking seeds.
(25:56):
Oh I get the big bucket andall those Samplers bound to happen. Five
lights go out at three am onSaturday for the Sprint, at six am
on Sunday for the Grand Prix.We will be watching. We are your
Austria show bro. We love AstraAdel Mice, Let's go. Nobody supports

the von Trapp family singers like Wegi. It's not close. And if I

hard, beyond so hard. Imean, who knows what's gonna happen to
us? The nazzies are at ourdoor. Yeah, live for today,
Mice, Come on, Vice.That is your f one report Southern California.

Sports is knowledge, common knowledge,it's local knowledge. He's very knowledgeable
on the things that you come upwith as far as for with your knowledge.
All right, man, I sawthis story and I thought you would
find it interesting because, well,we are right on the cusp of fourth
(28:33):
of July, and you live bythe beach. I live in a more
quiet neighborhood, so I don't reallyknow if you're starting to feel the effects
at two am. Yeah, thefireworks two am, not last night night
before. Yeah, it's usually abouta month buffer before and out you get
your two weeks of fireworks before forthe people that the sooners as they're called,
the people that want to jump thegun jump in the line. Oh
(28:56):
it's it's a gun, all right. Yeah, it sounds like you up
there in the dead of night.And then there's the two weeks after where
I love these explosivos so much.I'll keep it going that. I've got
to keep this explosive to you,keep it continue the same thing, this
explosive party of celebration for America.That is what it's all about. So
and it's great having a dog,by the way, Well they yeah,
(29:18):
wonderful having a dog when that ishappening for a month long. People that
have dogs in southern California, theyfeel the effects. And it's not just
if the fourth of July. It'sif the Dodgers win a title, break
out the fireworks, right. Imean, we saw that in COVID.
It was some of the biggest fireworksdisplays in the history of the See you
don Mexico loses to Venezuela, Let'slight off some fireworks we get in certain
(29:41):
neighborhoods. Yes, it's unfortunate forL three to lose in that way.
But Matt, maybe maybe I guessyou're not feeling the effects in Seal Beach,
but maybe you will because this yearcould be a little less explosivo in
southern California. Matt. As youknow, many long standing fireworks shows have
(30:02):
been canceled or droned. And nowI had to talk to the guy.
Now, a huge law enforcement crackdownis going off. So the Guardina Police
accomplished the largest single seizure of fireworksin recent state history. Matt. The
(30:27):
fireworks came from China. China,correct, They're in a warehouse. They
were on Vermont. It got ratedlast week. The numbers aren't pressing.
Staggering seventy five tons of illegal fireworks, doubling up the next largest seizure in
(30:48):
California history. It's enough to popthe top of a Guardina and cars seventy
five tons of fireworks. If youknow a Guardina cop, you are going
to be treated for the most incrediblefireworks show ever. Well, that's what
I'm thinking that I mean, Idon't know if anybody skimmed any off the
top of one of those one hundredand fifty three pallettes of fireworks. That
(31:14):
boxes palettes, two fifty three foottrailers, and one forty foot big rig
to remove all of the fireworks.That is how many fireworks. That's not
cool. We're stacked in that warehousein Vermont. Now where did the fireworks
go? You asked? If itwas nineteen fifty five and Bill Parker was
(31:36):
still in charge from the LAPD,it would be driven out to the middle
of nowhere and exploded or distributed amongstthe LAPD family, one of the benefits
of being an LAPD officer. Butyou can't do that anymore. H camera,
They can't destroy it, which theythought they might be able to,
he said. The chief of policeand Guardina said, it's pomp like a
(32:00):
relationship status. So where does itgo? It all goes to another warehouse,
stuffed into a whale carcass. Youknow, well, that would be
sweet. I mean it would begood. I don't think you need it
all. It's in San Bernardino,in a storage facility in sand Burdo,
So we got to drop a scudonto that storage facility and get ourselves to
(32:21):
show up the century. It couldbe stolen, there could be I mean,
San Bernardino is more crime ridden thanGuardena even I believe rackheads, right,
a lot of crackheads. So youcan't just detonate them out in the
middle of nowhere like you used tobe able to. It's all cooling off
right now, Isn't that where Katesgoes to shoot his bullets into burms sand
burdu Well, you know San BernardinoCounty and buttresses right up to Nevada.
(32:45):
So there's a lot of open space, a lot of open land out there.
So Kates might shoot a gun thatstarts in California going, but it
goes to Nevada or shoots over toArizona. It's like one of those Mario
cart bullets that just keeps going.So there's seventy five tons of explosives,
neighborhood mortars, illegal explosives tucked awayright now, like the arc of the
(33:07):
government covenant in the back of awarehouse in San Bernardino. Now three guys
were arrested and booked. Three guys. Three three guys for two or for
three semi trailers worth of fireworks accordingto the Daily Breeze, three guys.
(33:28):
According to the Daily Breeze, whichis the local South Bay rag, three
guys were arrested and now they're outon the streets. The fireworks were estimated
to be worth three million dollars.Three million dollars worth of fireworks. Sweetheart
packed the house. We got tomove, so we're down three mil this
year. I don't know. Canwe make it back. No, Fourth
(33:50):
of July is once a year.What can't make it back? Twenty twenty
Dodger Championship is not gonna carry usanymore, dear, cannot make it back.
I don't know if this means thatSam Pedro and Carson, and of
course Guardina will be less exposivo thanthe last hundred years here in town.
Seems like it would be on fourthof July. I don't know, But
(34:13):
if it is, then we knowthat it's probably in part due to this
daring raid by the Guardina Policia andI hope that stuff is safe and SANDFORDU,
I mean it, geez, Ihope that's that warehouse is made of
asbestos out there. Matt. Youknow what I'm saying. I appreciate the
(34:35):
police, the police and the jobthey have to do and what they are
tasked with. Are you saying thisis a chicken ass raid? Can we
not just have neighborhood fireworks on thefourth of July? Can we not enjoy
as a city k col KTLA theConway Junior show fighting for the helicopter shot
of La looking like freaking Kadafi isstill alive and it's triple on the on
(35:00):
the cusp of war like? Canwe not? Can we not just have
what we're known for? We probablyare gonna have it? We probably we
probably are. So what do wedo? This was a bold raid by
the guardena police. You're saying,what should they be doing? Should they
be sweeping up the hoboes instead orshooting the fireworks at the hoboes? Is
that what you do? It's atwo pronged position. One to your point,
(35:21):
you raided a crack house and youjust kicked in the first door you
saw and you pulled out like twogarbage bags of weed. And you never
got upstairs to where they're mixing themeth in the bathtubs. Like there's still
gonna be well, we can't goto China and where it's being made,
Matt, there's still gonna be aton of fireworks in Downey and Southgate and
all of the spots. These wereillegal fireworks, Matt, illegal fire think
(35:44):
neighborhood mortars, not in Downy,Matt. Everybody wants the neighborhood mortars with
more like and as we discussed thanthe last two three weeks, you and
your neighborhood, mine and my neighborhoodin Long Beach, all of our fireworks
shows are being canceled. We relyon neighborhood mortars to bring us what the
(36:04):
fourth of July stands for, thatfair ill legal fireworks. All the fireworks
in twenty twenty got canceled because oftwenty twenty, right, and there was
more fireworks than have ever in thestreet. That's true. And this was
a product of that, and andI believe that benefited America and particularly Southern
California as a whole. I mean, we became can we at least just
be ambivalent about this bust and notsupport the criminals. I think so.
(36:30):
I think it's I don't want tosupport the criminals. I'm just saying,
what if we really what if wereally accomplished here? What if we well,
we moved a whole bunch of fireworksfrom Gardena to San Bernardina. But
those but how will those fireworks bedistributed? Matt? How will these be
distributed? Where will they go?At least one in five in five years,
(36:52):
if we go out to sand Burduinto that warehouse, are those fireworks
all dusty and still? There?Are they? When you take communion and
they come pew by pew to letyou know it's your turn. I just
love the idea of someone walking throughthe police office, the actual headquarters in
Guardiena, and be like, okay, homicide, you're up. Go ahead,
take two boxes and detectives. Herewe go. You're now up.
(37:14):
Go ahead, take the sparks,sparklers for you, beat walkers, all
right, you're up. Traffic.There's nothing left I know. So a
big fourth of July bust Matt inGuardina by the Guardena police before we wrap.
I think they go over to thehustler casino and wonder what's going on
over there? You know, wellpolice are citing I say, Native pee
(37:34):
born and raised here. I dohave a question before we wrap this.
Well, Guardina High School used tobe the Mohicans and then they changed it
to the Panthers. I it's unfortunatelyit was a mohawked Native going holding a
hatchet in mid screen and now it'sa purper. It's a panthes. What's
(37:55):
up with that bear? Surper?The bear's name is sir per. Have
you noticed? And I don't knowwhy this is. Why do so many
people call it garden Ya instead ofGuardina because they're stupid. It's it's it's
wild. Yeah, it's it's Guardina. Uh huh. Yeah, that's a
tough one for Guardina. No no, no, no no, Now that's
(38:17):
a Gardina. Yeah, like itorn'ts Guardina. The same people that say
Guardina are the same people that sayGlen Dalay. Yes, types, I
did have a San Pedro last nighttwice. That hurts San Pedro. That
ain't right, and San Pedro it'slike, really, you shut your mouth,
you filthy? Yes, filthy isright. Then she said Preston was
(38:42):
from Seal bitch, No, shedidn't. Yes, well that's not okay,
Seal bitch I was like, heydude, that's not okay. Now,
the proper pronunciation is paramount a lotof people don't know that. All
right, big firework rain, we'llbe back. We got one more hour
a great sports doc, Larasa WadSports Time. Yah
Welcome three hours of great sports dotto the Petros and Money Show on air
at am five seventy LA Sports withthe ability to really go anywhere and do
anything, streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadioapp hosted by Mad Money Smith. Check
out the Fit and Petros Papadakas.That's what we like to hear. Here
(00:21):
they are on your home of theLA Dodgers in sync and down the Green,
Petros and Money Trosen, Money trosIn Money, Rosy Barron, James,
Barron, James, Barron, James, Barron James, can't do it
Selling Barron Jos Warriors, Big Bron, you talk, you talk, can't
(00:49):
do it. Selling, cannot playwith him, cannot win with him,
cannot coach with him. Can't doit Blevron James. You see the march.
It couldn't be anything else. Barryleft a mark on my ass with
his horns. I embarked on lifeat a stroat Bond. I didn't do
anything. I don't have an explanation. Call it out. Vic No Dodgers
(01:15):
Baseball tonight from the Gallupin Motors Broadcastbooth. Tomorrow they will take on the
Giants at seven pm. So wegot a full four hours halfway home.
You missed Don mclayin right at thestart of the show, immediately after Bronnie
James was drafted by the Lakers.We will replay it because it was an
awesome conversation anyway, but this wasreally yah. Yeah, this is great
analysis from a great basketball mind.You could replay Barry too, very much
(01:40):
more one sided than Don. Donnyhad the positive and the negative. Bronnie's
a hard worker and he was thesecond best player at the whole NBA combat.
Yeah, that's what he's courting out. Barry's friend and he was the
one that told him Tatum was betterthan Lonzo Ball, which if you recall,
just about everybody said. But Magictold us that he had strawberry pancakes,
that Lvar made strawberry pancakes and hesaw and it was very Arry talked
(02:02):
about him being a nice kid anda hard worker. It was very similar.
Remember Magic's defense of why he tookLonzo Ball, a guy that had
a bit of an awkward shot andpeople worried about him being able to get
it off, and does that reallyplay? You kind of need a dad,
crazy dad, And he said,I had breakfast at this family's house,
(02:24):
and I saw the bond between fatherand son and how all these boys
interact, and that's what sold me. What Rob Polenka told us was he's
a hard worker, he's a highcharacter. When you draft someone good,
you know what they typically say,Guy's got a forty inch vertical, which
(02:45):
Bronnie does. He's got incredible length. He's only six' one, but
he's got the wingspan of a guyat six' eight. He defends four
position. That's typically what the conversationis, not hey, she's a nice
school. They drafted Colin Yee.Basically, he's a great guy. He
works for a lot of jobs,love having them, works hard time for
(03:08):
three things. This is this isone of the most embarrassing things. And
somebody pointed this out. It's notjust embarrassing that the Lakers did this,
because everybody knew they were going todo it. What's embarrassing is the media
people trumpeting this and saying things thatthey would never say about anybody else,
like any good father would do this. It's like, what the majority of
(03:34):
fathers aren't involved in a game ofcompetition. Any good father would do this,
any good father. I'm betting onthese genes. Well, let's continue
that conversation as the number one thing. We'll go through all the NBA draft
(03:57):
and free agent conversation right now.Ultimately, this is what I believe it
came down to. It was impossible, and this I think should should help
guide you and how you feel aboutthe selection of Bronnie James at fifty five.
Ultimately, it was too big ofa risk for Rob Polinka and Jeanie
(04:20):
Buss and Nick Mazela and Joey Bussand Jesse Buss and Kurt Rambus and that
collective in that room and JJ Reddickto draft any other player at fifty five
as long as they were going toresign lebron James. Because everybody's been talking
(04:43):
about how will Bronni be received inthe locker room, that number fifty five
pick would be absolutely eviscerated by Lebron. Oh. He would make sure you
want to talk about sabotage. Hewould ensure that that fifty fifth pick had
absolutely zero chance of success because youhumiliated his son by allowing him to go
(05:09):
undrafted. Bronnie had to get drafted. His path to the NBA. Even
though he was drafted fifty fifth overall, and everybody's talking about, oh,
what does a fifty fifth pick everbecome? Well, there's a reason they
have it if it's not a risk. If the fifty fifth pick. I
just love how everybody yells at you, like all this new stuff are starting
(05:30):
to make a big deal. Well, then why have it? Then?
Why have a fifty fifth pick?Why not just cut the draft off at
thirty and have a free for allyou can sign, Yeah, you can
sign whoever you want. Let's justhave a first round that goes to thirty.
You get one pick every year,and then you can go out and
sign whoever the hell you want afterthat. No, it doesn't matter.
(05:51):
That's why the pick exists. That'swhy they're sixty picks every year, and
that's why second rounders like Gilbert Arenasand Draymond Green and the three time MVP
Nikola Jokic and just last year,Hey, how about Nick van Exel for
the Lakers as a second round pick? How did that work out? It's
a hell of a lot better thantheir first pick. George Lloyd, that's
(06:12):
who it was. I don't know, but I don't like it Lloyd or
Peter in such a way. Yes, so there's a reason why there's sixty
picks in the draft, because teamsfind value in them. And as we've
said repeatedly throughout this show, allyou have to do is go back to
last year and look at what happenedwith Trace Jackson Davis that Golden State took
with the fifty seventh pick. Theguy averaged twenty minutes a game and nearly
(06:38):
double digit points and five rebounds ina block with the fifty seventh pick.
That's what he contributes. Now,I would assume that Brownie James is not
going to play in a game thisyear. If it is a true meritocracy
as to who makes the roster andwho gets put into a game, we
should make history in a Laker uniform. And that's all this is. It
(06:58):
is playcating an individual who was inthe conversation as the greatest basketball player of
all time and happens to be onyour roster and has decided that instead of
his son staying in college developing hisgame, making a crap ton of money
on nil deals, that he insteadwants him in the NBA and he wants
him in a uniform on the benchnext to him. We don't know if
(07:21):
that's Bronni's just if that's his desire. And Bronnie would have liked to have
stayed in college and hung around kidsand made a bunch of five ten million
bucks in nil money and endorsement dollarsthrough Instagram and TikTok and all of those
platforms. But now he's a Lakerbecause his dad wanted him to be.
And ultimately, that's what it comesdown to. And you can be okay
with that and say whatever Lebron's earnedit. I think it's gross. I
(07:45):
do too. I think if Lebronreally wanted Bronnie on the team, he
could have run through a channel thatwould have been a legitimate channel. He's
not drafted. He's signed, justlike Austin Reeves was by Nick Mazzella as
an undrafted college free agent. He'sput on the South Bay Lakers, and
he earns his way onto an NBAroster. In all it would have taken
(08:11):
was three fewer picks, three fewerselections. Your son didn't get to have
a celebration in his honor and wasn'table, you know, and wouldn't be
talked about on ESPN by Adrian Wojnarowskiand Stephen A. Smith and j Billis
and the Wolfman Bob Myers. Butthat's what he wanted. He wanted his
(08:31):
son to have a draft moment,so he demanded that the Lakers draft him
fifty fifth. Otherwise, this isBronnie's day, right, Bronnie's moment,
and that's what he wants. Hewants a press conference with Rob Polaka and
Bronnie has a. He has respondedon social media. The Lakers put out
the welcome with Bronnie James shooting ashot, and he wrote beyond blessed.
(08:54):
Yeah, you know, I guessyou would say blessed life. It is
a blessed life and may he findgreat success. Hope it all works out
for him. By all accounts,Don McLean said, we joined us earlier.
Barry said it in the last segmentas working with guys that worked with
him. I guess in some sortof summer travel ball teams. Seems like
a great kid. Hopefully it worksout for him and all of the work
(09:16):
that his dad has done. I'ma star effort, so I have star
yeah to diminish his likability rating.Tired of the starf and Matt tired of
it. We are subjects of theking, and we nevus the king.
We knew this was going to happen. Fata compley. It's just another rung
(09:41):
climbing Jacob's ladder, step by step, rung by rung, and at the
top of the ladder get nailed bythe king. At the bottom of the
ladder you get a scrowed on yourget nailed by the up the ladder.
You gotta service the king real quick. Yes, I feel bad, honestly,
this is what I truly I think. This is one of the things
(10:05):
to also keep in mind. Thereare Khalil Ware was that the individual that
Don wanted to celebrate talk about thehard work he put in, how he
was written off at Oregon, waswritten off for half of his time at
Indiana, and you know, heand Khalil and his team put together an
opportunity to change his attitude and focusand become the player that they all believed
(10:28):
he could be, and he realizedthat dream by being selected fifteenth. Overall,
very emotional, all those stories areovershadowed. All the stories camp Spencer
busted his asset Rutgers for four years, transfers to Yukon and walks in there
as a twenty three year old.I don't care. Hownjie White Guy helps
him win a National champions I don'tcare. Nobody cares. I don't care.
(10:50):
I don't care about Joe Mazzella's Tshirt. Yeah, I don't care
about anything. All I care aboutis the King and JJ Reddick and Brownie
Jane and that and for and andeverybody's asinine nailed by the King reaction to
this, that's the sect like Berryand look, Barry just came on and
talked about Brownie for ten minutes,and when he brought up Dalton Connect's name,
(11:13):
we were like, you know,he's a lot better, right,
Dalt Connect's a great story. DaltKonnect was six' one in high school.
He sprouted like Dalton Control. Hegoes to a JC for two years,
outplays everybody in his JC league.Control never gunstock. Control goes to Northern
Colorado, plays great, a smallstar. Oregon wanted him big War.
(11:39):
Tennessee won the bidding War, theNIL bidding War, and what does he
do. He takes over the SEC. He's SEC Player of the Year.
Tennessee wins the regular season SEC,and Dalton Konnect shows up and arguably has
one half of the responsibility of themost exciting game in the NCAA tournament this
(12:01):
year. Tennessee beat Craton in theSweet sixteen on Friday, Perdue Heldolphinzaga.
Here's Dalton Connect's first shot and it'sgoing, and that's what you're gonna see
from him. He's a tremendous playercoming off screens. Connects control. He
(12:22):
and Zach Edy in the Elite eightfor a right to go to the Final
four. As teams that have struggledto make it to the Final four in
Tennessee and Purdue over the years.It was a high leverage affair. Ends
up going for thirty eight and tradingpunches with the two time Player of the
Year after being at Northern Colorado fortwo years and at JC for two years
prior to that. A guy thatalso believe it or not worked hard,
(12:46):
high character and put in whoa wait, yeah, I was only only there's
only one hard working player and thisdrapped the rest of these guys. They
just float in on talent. Thisis a guy that those long Frenchmen.
Yeah, this is a This isan exceptional pick by Rob Polinka and the
Lakers. He is going to stepin, make threes, defend he can,
(13:09):
but he's not six to one.But at six to six, guess
what he can do compromise a defensewith the ball in his hand. Bronni
grew two more inches. He's backto see I still hear that. Somebody
suggested that maybe he could still finda growth spurt, which was an interesting
that would be Ramona well done onthat front. He can get to six
five? Yeah, maybe she said. Also she's betting on the jeans.
(13:30):
Okay, well, good luck onthat. I'd like to celebrate the I'm
gonna have dinner tonight with Sean Lennon. Celebrate the jeans. Uh like,
take a moment to celebrate Dalton Connect. Great pick, way to go,
Rob. That was deserving of thehigh fives and the hugs. And then
can you believe the way this thingbroke and this guy fell to us?
A plug and play twenty three yearold that's ready to contribute next year with
(13:52):
Lebron James, who's gonna be fortygreat thirty nine right now, gonna be
forty in December. The brownie stuffis painful, gross. Yeah, let's
celebrate connect. That's what I'm gonnacelebrate. It's like when what Norm Chow
said when I told him Philip Riverswasn't invited to the highestman ceremony so many
years ago. Let's sick. Itwas sick. He was sickened by it.
(14:13):
I was sickened by that North Carolinastate, all right, rad Obama
wanted him to be a tight end. Disgusting. That's sick. More to
come. We'll do an F onereport. We got some local knowledge,
but Ronnie's a laker. We're gonnatake a little We're just gonna Rannie's a
laker. We're gonna walk away fromit for a second and then we're gonna
(14:37):
walk it back. Walk away.We got to. I mean, it's
been seeing me walking by. Tearsare in my eyes. Look away,
baby, The F one report comingup. Man Petrow some money at five
seventy LA SPORTSLV, everywhere on theiHeartRadio. At Big Day today, the
second round of the NBA Draft,everybody waiting with baited breath until pick fifty
(14:58):
five was on the clock. Whenthe pick was in, the name Brownie
James was red and many a sportsfans across the country formed an opinion.
If you would like to hear oursit is shared by the great Don McClain.
You will hear it in about anhour. Make sure you are sticking
around. We are here until sevenpm and then Tim Kats will have off
(15:18):
day Dodger talk with a farm report. Still plenty to get to between now
and then, though, including niceman, it's time for a quick F
one report. Last weekend in Barcelona, Max for Stopping took the Spanish Grand
Prix for his seventh win and elevenraces this season. Believe it's pronounced Barcelona,
Barcelona. I said that, soyou wouldn't say it the other way.
(15:41):
God, what people say Bartholona,That's what I would have said.
Yeah, I can't win. Youcan't win, You can't win. The
three time reigning world champion lost outon the pole Smoker to sprite like Lando
Norris and the resurgence of the Clarenteam on Saturday, but they definitely overtook
(16:04):
the curiously odd looking George Russell inhis silver arrow early on Sunday to pull
away for a comfortable win in hissixty first career Grand Prix win. The
Dutchman took the championship lead after winningthe Spanish Grand Prix back in twenty twenty
two, a lead he is notrelinquished, since a run of over seven
hundred and seventy days at the topof the standing seems like a long time
(16:26):
it does. Norris would bring hisMcLaren home for a solid P two finish,
with Sir Lewis Alright Hamilton ramming outof the podium for p three.
All Right helda first podium finished witha seven time Wispy Voice World champion this
season. I've bet at a disadvicethanks to Arka on our team and I'm
not at via Bay. But theMerks had a solid weekend, with Russell
(16:48):
bringing home forth place of several arrows, finally heading in the right direction and
their quest to return to the frontof the field. He's hoff the drum
arm going the other way in Spain, where the horses of Ferrari Lil Chuck
Leclair and the self proclaimed smooth operatorCarlos Signs both struggled with pace last weekend,
the Scooteria Factory team not enjoying thelong corners at the circuit day.
(17:15):
Barcelona, come on, man,are we really doing that? It's Barcela
finishing in fifth and sixth and neveroffering up much of a challenge to the
front runners. Things got so bleakfor the scooteria that the two teammates had
a brief incident on lap three comingtogether into turn one, when Leclair pushed
Signs off track while trying to conservehis tires. After the race, Signs
(17:37):
accused Lil Chuck of complaining too much. More signs that the honeymoon is coming
to an end for the two,with Signs being replaced by Hamilton next season.
The European swing continues. This isthe greatest swing in the F one
calendar this week in Austria. Isn'tthis great? More on that race in
a second, As the F oneCircus Chris crosses the continent for the next
(18:00):
six races over the summer months.But as you know, Matt, the
PMS F one report is more thanjust on track news. We'd like to
focus on the off track activities theworld's best drivers often have many, and
we'll do that today with some newsand notes from the F one wags.
We have documented many changes coming tothe driver's lineup for next season. Only
(18:22):
seven current drivers were secured rides forthe twenty twenty five seasons. Those are
starting to fill up. While thoseare being negotiated. There have been some
recent updates to the F one Wagslineup as well. Fresh Office first grand
pre win in Miami Sprite like Lando, Norris made a move in the significant
other seat next to him. Thediminutive brit a favorite amongst the F one
(18:45):
fan base, is currently dating Portugueseactress and model Margarida Corseerro. I think
that's exactly right. Margarita Corcierro Corcierro, who broke up with Brazilian football player
(19:06):
Jao Felix after a four year relationship, has over two million social media flowers,
so she's more popular than him.An actress and a model, Matt,
the twenty one year old Portuguese linguisasausage smoke show tool Threat, has
appeared in four Portuguese television movies,all of them named after sausage. We
(19:29):
are your official home of Portuguese Novella'sMatt not even close, not even true.
She was also a contestant on thePortuguese version of Dancing with the Stars.
Now. Lando and Margharita got firstlinked up when he was seen driving
her in Joo, her boyfriend atthe time, around Monaco. Earlier this
(19:52):
year while the pair was still dating, and then they were spotted again following
her split from it. He waslike their chauffeur and they're like NA on
the back seat and he's like,I look ahead, And then next thing
you know, little Lando crawls upbetween her long legs. Have you seen
my watch? Could this be theofficial first rebound for the sprite light Lando
Norris? Could it? Yeah?Shut up? Oh we think it is?
(20:19):
And more f one wags moves.Frenchmen and alpine driver Estimanocne is currently
dating model and medical student Flavi Bottlela, another dual threat. Oconne, who
has a vast a likability to getunder everybody's skin on the circuit, went
official with his relationship earlier this year. Is out bottle La for next year.
(20:42):
I read that he might be out. He might be. I think
you're out, dude. She wasseeing the paddock in the paddock, cheering
on her beloved. She has overone and a half million followers on Instagram.
Twenty year old medical student with aspirationsto become Oh that buck tooth Frenchman
doesn't have that a surge him.She's a rocket and a surgeon. Matt
(21:07):
born in Gice, France. Flaviholds the prestigious title of Miss Colte de
Azour, a remarkable achievement in theworld of beauty pageants. That's a big
one. Yeah, that's the onethat. Uh, that's the big one.
Honey boo boo won it. Beyondthe glitz and glamour, she aspires
to leverage her platform to contribute tofight against cancer it caused close to her
(21:30):
heart. She has portrayed as awoman of substance, displaying resilience and commitment
to making a poss a deep impactbeyond the spectacle of the fashion world and
all will hare having very expensive tastest. O'conne previously dated Italian model Elena Berry.
(21:51):
However, the two had quite asplit in twenty twenty three, with
fans only finding out that when theynoticed that he had unfollowed her on instant
through all the legend tuck hits breakup. That's standard. That's a standard
operating procedure these days. Oh,you've gone from taken to it's complicated.
(22:11):
Lastly, Matt, when you're awine voice Canadian, it's got to be
tough to wheel the ladies, butit helps when your father's a billionaire and
he employs you as a mediocre Formulaone driver. Such are the challenges for
Lance Stroll Strong, Oh so ridiculous? What the hell happened? It's not
that ridiculous, Lance the Winding Voice. Stroll, who was previously linked to
(22:34):
Italian model seta part of the Ali, has a new squeeze in his life
and is currently dating Canadian model MaryLou Bellinger. Hey, you could be
so effing godly literally saved kittens fromthe ocean. So what so I got
(22:56):
drunk and whipped out matise. There'svery little information about the French Canadian model
other than the fact that she gotdrunk and whipped out of teas in an
oiler's game. The twenty four yearold Bellinger is from Montreal. She's five
eight, light brown hair, andis represented by the Select Modeling Agency out
of la That's a big deal.That's like, that's a big or.
(23:19):
The two went public with their relationshiplate in twenty twenty three, when Bellinger
posted an image of the couple ata football game. Whatever Stroll scores off
the track has not translated to hissuccess on the track. The Whiny Voiced
Wonder currently sits eleventh and the driverstandings, trailing his teammate and two time
world champion Fernando Alonso by twenty fourpoints. Geez, But when the dad
(23:41):
owns a team, Hey, what'stwenty four points? When you're wheeling leggy
models, the legend, the legend. Don't cry for Lance. There's always
his fledgling tennis career that daddy willfinance as well if this doesn't work out,
all right. The Red Bull isthe side for the Austrian Grand Prix
(24:03):
this weekend. Racetracks don't come muchmore picturesque than the circuit at Spielberg Matt
located in the stunning valley of theRiver Moor the Styrian Mountains. The valley
is lined with castles and ruins,and it's home to the museum in Graz,
dedicated to the city's most favorite sunFarnald Schwartzene is sound right, Yes,
(24:25):
right, It's got his own museum, just like the Lebron Museum at
that mall with that cool draft suitright when you walk into foyer. Now,
does the mall and Akron have thebreath taking backdrop of the Austrian Alps.
No. The Red Bull ring isa popular stop for drivers teams and
fans alike packs quite a bunch fora short track. The first half rewards
(24:47):
power as the cars blast along threestraits separated by a pair of uphill right
handers, but the drivers work theirway downhill. It becomes a toboggan ride
of sorts. Matt, It's kindof cool, just like the matter hornet
isn that is there lay the eleven. It's like constantly driving by Bobby Miller's
(25:11):
tattoo over and over. Did yousee the red eyes man? Freaked me
out? I think there's two ofthem. The eleventh race of the twenty
twenty fourth season marks the second raceof the European Triple Header, following Barcelona
and preceding the historic British Grand Prixat Silverstone next week. The Austrian Grand
(25:33):
Prix also welcomes the third sprint ofthe season, following China in Miami,
with Austin Brazilian cutter remaining on theschedule for sprint racing. Strong performance from
Max for stopping in the Red Bullteam at their home circuit is about as
the shirt as Tim Kats ordering thebonus pack from the uh smacking seeds.
(25:56):

Sports is knowledge, common knowledge,it's local knowledge. He's very knowledgeable
on the things that you come upwith as far as for with your knowledge.
All right, man, I sawthis story and I thought you would
find it interesting because, well,we are right on the cusp of fourth
(28:33):
of July, and you live bythe beach. I live in a more
quiet neighborhood, so I don't reallyknow if you're starting to feel the effects
at two am. Yeah, thefireworks two am, not last night night
before. Yeah, it's usually abouta month buffer before and out you get
your two weeks of fireworks before forthe people that the sooners as they're called,
the people that want to jump thegun jump in the line. Oh
(28:56):
it's it's a gun, all right. Yeah, it sounds like you up
there in the dead of night.And then there's the two weeks after where
I love these explosivos so much.I'll keep it going that. I've got
to keep this explosive to you,keep it continue the same thing, this
explosive party of celebration for America.That is what it's all about. So
and it's great having a dog,by the way, Well they yeah,
(29:18):
wonderful having a dog when that ishappening for a month long. People that
have dogs in southern California, theyfeel the effects. And it's not just
if the fourth of July. It'sif the Dodgers win a title, break
out the fireworks, right. Imean, we saw that in COVID.
It was some of the biggest fireworksdisplays in the history of the See you
don Mexico loses to Venezuela, Let'slight off some fireworks we get in certain
(29:41):
neighborhoods. Yes, it's unfortunate forL three to lose in that way.
But Matt, maybe maybe I guessyou're not feeling the effects in Seal Beach,
but maybe you will because this yearcould be a little less explosivo in
southern California. Matt. As youknow, many long standing fireworks shows have
(30:02):
been canceled or droned. And nowI had to talk to the guy.
Now, a huge law enforcement crackdownis going off. So the Guardina Police
accomplished the largest single seizure of fireworksin recent state history. Matt. The
(30:27):
fireworks came from China. China,correct, They're in a warehouse. They
were on Vermont. It got ratedlast week. The numbers aren't pressing.
Staggering seventy five tons of illegal fireworks, doubling up the next largest seizure in
(30:48):
California history. It's enough to popthe top of a Guardina and cars seventy
five tons of fireworks. If youknow a Guardina cop, you are going
to be treated for the most incrediblefireworks show ever. Well, that's what
I'm thinking that I mean, Idon't know if anybody skimmed any off the
top of one of those one hundredand fifty three pallettes of fireworks. That
(31:14):
boxes palettes, two fifty three foottrailers, and one forty foot big rig
to remove all of the fireworks.That is how many fireworks. That's not
cool. We're stacked in that warehousein Vermont. Now where did the fireworks
go? You asked? If itwas nineteen fifty five and Bill Parker was
(31:36):
still in charge from the LAPD,it would be driven out to the middle
of nowhere and exploded or distributed amongstthe LAPD family, one of the benefits
of being an LAPD officer. Butyou can't do that anymore. H camera,
They can't destroy it, which theythought they might be able to,
he said. The chief of policeand Guardina said, it's pomp like a
(32:00):
relationship status. So where does itgo? It all goes to another warehouse,
stuffed into a whale carcass. Youknow, well, that would be
sweet. I mean it would begood. I don't think you need it
all. It's in San Bernardino,in a storage facility in sand Burdo,
So we got to drop a scudonto that storage facility and get ourselves to
(32:21):
show up the century. It couldbe stolen, there could be I mean,
San Bernardino is more crime ridden thanGuardena even I believe rackheads, right,
a lot of crackheads. So youcan't just detonate them out in the
middle of nowhere like you used tobe able to. It's all cooling off
right now, Isn't that where Katesgoes to shoot his bullets into burms sand
burdu Well, you know San BernardinoCounty and buttresses right up to Nevada.
(32:45):
So there's a lot of open space, a lot of open land out there.
So Kates might shoot a gun thatstarts in California going, but it
goes to Nevada or shoots over toArizona. It's like one of those Mario
cart bullets that just keeps going.So there's seventy five tons of explosives,
neighborhood mortars, illegal explosives tucked awayright now, like the arc of the
(33:07):
government covenant in the back of awarehouse in San Bernardino. Now three guys
were arrested and booked. Three guys. Three three guys for two or for
three semi trailers worth of fireworks accordingto the Daily Breeze, three guys.
(33:28):
According to the Daily Breeze, whichis the local South Bay rag, three
guys were arrested and now they're outon the streets. The fireworks were estimated
to be worth three million dollars.Three million dollars worth of fireworks. Sweetheart
packed the house. We got tomove, so we're down three mil this
year. I don't know. Canwe make it back. No, Fourth
(33:50):
of July is once a year.What can't make it back? Twenty twenty
Dodger Championship is not gonna carry usanymore, dear, cannot make it back.
I don't know if this means thatSam Pedro and Carson, and of
course Guardina will be less exposivo thanthe last hundred years here in town.
Seems like it would be on fourthof July. I don't know, But
(34:13):
if it is, then we knowthat it's probably in part due to this
daring raid by the Guardina Policia andI hope that stuff is safe and SANDFORDU,
I mean it, geez, Ihope that's that warehouse is made of
asbestos out there. Matt. Youknow what I'm saying. I appreciate the
(34:35):
police, the police and the jobthey have to do and what they are
tasked with. Are you saying thisis a chicken ass raid? Can we
not just have neighborhood fireworks on thefourth of July? Can we not enjoy
as a city k col KTLA theConway Junior show fighting for the helicopter shot
of La looking like freaking Kadafi isstill alive and it's triple on the on
(35:00):
the cusp of war like? Canwe not? Can we not just have
what we're known for? We probablyare gonna have it? We probably we
probably are. So what do wedo? This was a bold raid by
the guardena police. You're saying,what should they be doing? Should they
be sweeping up the hoboes instead orshooting the fireworks at the hoboes? Is
that what you do? It's atwo pronged position. One to your point,
(35:21):
you raided a crack house and youjust kicked in the first door you
saw and you pulled out like twogarbage bags of weed. And you never
got upstairs to where they're mixing themeth in the bathtubs. Like there's still
gonna be well, we can't goto China and where it's being made,
Matt, there's still gonna be aton of fireworks in Downey and Southgate and
all of the spots. These wereillegal fireworks, Matt, illegal fire think
(35:44):
neighborhood mortars, not in Downy,Matt. Everybody wants the neighborhood mortars with
more like and as we discussed thanthe last two three weeks, you and
your neighborhood, mine and my neighborhoodin Long Beach, all of our fireworks
shows are being canceled. We relyon neighborhood mortars to bring us what the
(36:04):
fourth of July stands for, thatfair ill legal fireworks. All the fireworks
in twenty twenty got canceled because oftwenty twenty, right, and there was
more fireworks than have ever in thestreet. That's true. And this was
a product of that, and andI believe that benefited America and particularly Southern
California as a whole. I mean, we became can we at least just
be ambivalent about this bust and notsupport the criminals. I think so.
(36:30):
I think it's I don't want tosupport the criminals. I'm just saying,
what if we really what if wereally accomplished here? What if we well,
we moved a whole bunch of fireworksfrom Gardena to San Bernardina. But
those but how will those fireworks bedistributed? Matt? How will these be
distributed? Where will they go?At least one in five in five years,
(36:52):
if we go out to sand Burduinto that warehouse, are those fireworks
all dusty and still? There?Are they? When you take communion and
they come pew by pew to letyou know it's your turn. I just
love the idea of someone walking throughthe police office, the actual headquarters in
Guardiena, and be like, okay, homicide, you're up. Go ahead,
take two boxes and detectives. Herewe go. You're now up.
(37:14):
Go ahead, take the sparks,sparklers for you, beat walkers, all
right, you're up. Traffic.There's nothing left I know. So a
big fourth of July bust Matt inGuardina by the Guardena police before we wrap.
I think they go over to thehustler casino and wonder what's going on
over there? You know, wellpolice are citing I say, Native pee
(37:34):
born and raised here. I dohave a question before we wrap this.
Well, Guardina High School used tobe the Mohicans and then they changed it
to the Panthers. I it's unfortunatelyit was a mohawked Native going holding a
hatchet in mid screen and now it'sa purper. It's a panthes. What's
(37:55):
up with that bear? Surper?The bear's name is sir per. Have
you noticed? And I don't knowwhy this is. Why do so many
people call it garden Ya instead ofGuardina because they're stupid. It's it's it's
wild. Yeah, it's it's Guardina. Uh huh. Yeah, that's a
tough one for Guardina. No no, no, no no, Now that's
(38:17):
a Gardina. Yeah, like itorn'ts Guardina. The same people that say
Guardina are the same people that sayGlen Dalay. Yes, types, I
did have a San Pedro last nighttwice. That hurts San Pedro. That
ain't right, and San Pedro it'slike, really, you shut your mouth,
you filthy? Yes, filthy isright. Then she said Preston was
(38:42):
from Seal bitch, No, shedidn't. Yes, well that's not okay,
Seal bitch I was like, heydude, that's not okay. Now,
the proper pronunciation is paramount a lotof people don't know that. All
right, big firework rain, we'llbe back. We got one more hour
a great sports doc, Larasa WadSports Time. Yah
