But may what an eventful show thus far? Well, I
mean we think of the show we've had. In the
first hour of the show, we talked to Rick Neuheisel,
We talked about the history of the city of Torrance.
We welcomed in luminaries from around like Miss January and
Kent the sales guy and Ecuadorian hack karaoke Weirdo karaoke Mark.
(02:50):
Mister McKim my eighth grade teacher at Christ.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Lutheran School, I think I upset them.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Dodger Joe, what did you do to mister mckich just
you know, when I said we're giving away UCLA Fresd State,
he made a noise and I made an example of him,
and I think it upset him.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh did that hat? Oh you didn't want it?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Yeah, he was like, Now, mister mckimm you've been to
a lot worse sporting events than you see La.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yes, no stage exactly.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
I know it gets a little cold in Pasadena at
this time of year, but come on now, I mean,
we can all my cousin Evdence here with his daughters.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Zuzu's Pedals in Long Beach forever, the greatest brunch restaurant
in the history of the world. Exactly right, super Alabama
fan guy with his big cowboy hat and his son. Yeah,
he wore the big hat that I gave him over
the summer tour. I believe that's the hat that is
that where that was from the Yeah, big, floppy, stupid
cowboy summer tour, exactly right.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
And the guy at Rock and Bruce was like, I
thought you were going to dress in like a rock
and roll way.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I was like, nope, I'm wearing the hat.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
And he's like, are you sure you don't want to
wear anyth the other like, nope, no, I'm wearing the hat.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Hat stage. That's what I'm doing. Mustache on or off off? Nooe.
Did you see Joe alt Is here? He's shrunk considerately.
Speaker 7 (03:59):
He got a little bit old, but he looks but
you know what, you can see the fight inside of him.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
His ability to block edge rushers is a question. Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We're gonna have the GM of the chargers.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Joe Hortiz next ten minutes, is going to join us
in about ten minutes, so right now, maybe we should
get to the final hour. Fun fact, in the second hour,
we talked to Gino Toretta and we had show Hal
Tani on there speaking Japanese.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Awesome.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
We had his wife sitting right next to him, and
briefly the dog was there and then jumped away and
we had a very uncomfortable view of the three people
sitting behind them.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Crosh.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
You know, you'd wonder the MLB network. It's like you
might want to frame up that shot before you go
live to show halle Toni's house. But you get those
three people sitting there and it's like, well, there's that
person's fund zone. Yeah, and there's the fund zone of
the person sitting next to him right there, and there's
another fund zone, funds on funds on funds one. I
feel like I'm at the Castle Park over here.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's a fact.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
It's the yeah, we're three fun.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Fact as we continue our Thanksgiving theme fun facts, because
too many people have already skipped over our finest holiday
and found their way to Christmas.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Did you know I heard Christmas music outside by the
Lazy Dog?
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Did you know the gobble? Gobble is only made by
the male turkey. Female turkeys make themselves heard and available
with cackles, purrs and yelps.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's the males. They give them the before they connect
in a certain way, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
And the women say what and the cackle sounds like
we're watching the view. And then the dudes are like.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Female turkeys, like so you're telling me the mail and
that the female is the gobble gobble The female is
a cackle per and yelp.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
So you're me from the WWE the gobblely gooker. Gobbledygooker
is a dude. Had to be a dude. Copy that
exactly right, Me and Gene Huh, we're gonna go to
break we are, I think, sel right, and then we'll
come back and talk to Joe Hartiz.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Do you think that's what we should do?
Speaker 9 (06:16):
Matt?
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I think we can maybe squeeze in a word in
the number, right. I think we squeeze it.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm gonna squeeze it up to you. Go ahead, do
the number one. Here we go. I want to make
sure I get this in Pa.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
It really punched me right in the chest when I
saw the number of the day is twenty one. Is
in November twenty first as in a fundraiser that is
happening tonight at seven thirty pm. The fundraiser a fundraiser
seven thirty pm. Do you realize who was in town
just up the road from US, Mark Harmon? Yes, Mark
(06:51):
Harmon is here to send fifty Dana Middle School students
to visit the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Dana Middle School at San Pedro. Yes, my father's alma mater,
your father's alma mater. Mark Harmon is gonna be there tonight.
He's regular person who was discussed on this show. It
is very hard to get stabbed in the seventh grade,
but unless you're at Dana Middle School.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
He is also celebrating the release of his book Ghosts
of Panama okay, co authored by Harmon and San Pedro.
Rotarian Leon Carroll, who worked as a technical advisor on
NCIS for twenty one years.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
I'd like to think that at this point, ah Mark
Harmon should be able to write.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
His own books.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Well, I think, oh, mister Carroll gives him some legitimacy
for the wartime he books.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Thank you, Joe, it's great to meet you. When I
said that, because.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
You're wearing the jersey, it is happening at the Cabrio
Marine Aquarium.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh okay, that was that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Look at that six thirty pm Mark Harmon in town,
and yet we didn't know and had an opportunity to
bring in the star of Stealing Home to have a.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Conversation with him. You cla cornerback.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Exactly right, and he's right up the road. He's doing
a fundraiser. It's hard to get Mark Harmon to talk
about football. It's like getting Gary Beeben, the old UCLA
Heisman winner who doesn't like to talk about football a
whole lot. It's hard to get those guys to talk
about football. That being sad, Tim, did you know about this?
(08:28):
Because this is humiliating. I mean Mark Harmon has long
been a moving target that the Pedrosen Money Show has
not been able to nail with our radio drones and
the fact that he is not only right he's in
San Pedro, California, I mean he's in my He's in my,
my family's hometown.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So I don't understand Kate's.
Speaker 10 (08:48):
I had no idea, Guys, I had no clue.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That he was right up the road. I found out today.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
I was looking for event, what's happening in the greater
Torrents area, and I start dipping into San Pedro and
I see, Oh, Mark, there's an interesting number of the day,
son of a bee?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Where were you? That is a that's a tough pill
to swallow.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
He's got a new book out. Maybe I'll reach out
to the publisher. We can try to get him on
at a bad idea, Dos of Panama. He's autographing copies
of it tonight and sending fifty kids to the United
Nations headquarters in New York.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Way to go, Mark Harmon, You're a good guy, all right,
Matt at his time for the word of the day.
It just wears the word of the day. This is interesting.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Is anybody going to the Las Vegas Grand Prix over
the weekend?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
One event? We got a deep pocketed.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Dude back there, guy all the way back there, and
he is wearing a sweatsuit. That makes sense, sweatsuit and jewelry,
so that lets you, you know, it gives you a
little bit of idea. I could see a shiny watching bracelet.
Yeah from here.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
F one.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
I'd love to go to the event, but I have
to call a couple of football games and Matt is
traveling with the Chargers. Otherwise he would go. But very
difficult sledding trying to get an in the country for
a certain Japanese As we're here in Torrance, Formula one
driver Yuki Sunoda.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Soda can't get in. He was interrogated.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
It looks like a child that that might not have
been why, but he was interrogated for several hours by
US border control officials before finally being let into the
country for Saturday's Las Vegas Grand Prix. The racer for
he told the reporters that he had no issue with
(10:34):
his previous two visits to Austin or Miami, and he said,
luckily they let me in after a couple of discussions,
well a lot of discussions. Actually, I nearly got sent
back home. Why why did they stop Yuki Sunoda at
the border, twenty four year old, three foot tall F
(10:55):
one driver.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Why are you asking for? Are you solicit?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I know why, or at least I think I know why.
Easter and coke. It did not have a.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Keyster full of full of yo. Okay, that's mind. This
that's how I got. Although I'm sure cocaine is quite
prevalent in the racing world. I mean, it feels like
a decadent sport, right, a decadent drug for decadent people.
He was wearing his pajamas, And let this be a
lesson to all of you, no matter who you think
(11:26):
you are, when you're crossing customs, whether you're in Sumatra
or Las Vegas or wherever.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Wear clothes going through customers.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
So the custom person knows that you're just not a
guy freeballing it into the country. That's right, you think, right,
you think you can free ball it into the I mean, look, granted,
maybe the US isn't what it used to be, you know,
back around right after World War two or right after
World War One, wherein we emerged as a world power.
(11:59):
Maybe Ronald Reagan isn't the president dropping missiles down Cadaffi's
chimney anymore. We're still a proper country, and you can't
just come in here with your balls out, Yuki Sonoda,
you got it, You've got come on. And I learned
this this the other day. I was walking into work,
and recently we've had some shakeups. Our Matt and I's
(12:21):
boss for for twenty years, is no longer here, Don Martin.
We still do the imitation. God bless him. I appreciate it.
I love you, you know, we you know, and it's
always important to be productive in a time of change.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, we love him.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
This is our second BJ's without down. But let it
be said, Matt that the new boss I saw, or
the new corporate guy my opponent, the opponent, Paul Corvino,
has been on the show many times already. I saw
him walking into work the other day and he said,
look at you, you're dressed like a clown. I was like, oh, no,
(12:57):
you know, maybe I'm gonna have to change my way.
And then I see Yuki Sunoda makes a lot more
money than I do. He can't even free ball it
into the US anyway, right, send you home? And his
balls were bappling all over the place when he came
in from Miami and Austin. But now change in regime. Man,
you better dress up when you're crossing into the border.
Now you better put on some Lululemon pants and a
(13:19):
Travis Matthew shirt.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That'll fly, that'll get you, that'll get you in. That's
my uniform. That's exactly right. And you look like a clown.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
That's why. That's my uniform of legitimacy. Yes, yeah, my
uniform of a clown.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Look at you. Why don't you dress like that? You
look like a clown. And then I thought I'd say
something funny, but he just walked away. It wasn't open
for discussion. Running this is the song of the day.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
Shake your groove thing is our song of the day.
A hit from the year nineteen seventy eight from Peaches

(16:36):
SOFI Stadium. The Harbor coming up, and you'll hear it
at our sister station all ninety eight point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's not the Harball, it's the hort Tees showdown. It is. Yes,
it is joining.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Us right now. We've had him on before. Whenever he
comes on, it's always in the South Bay. We had
him on at the Rolling Hills Country Club. The Great
Joe Ortiz, one of the planesmen from the Great University
of Auburn or Auburn University, Tumor's corner there and he
was the assistant GM for the Ravens last year. He's
(17:10):
the GM of the Chargers this year, and they're both
playing such great football. Maybe the Ravens not as much
of a surprise to the rest of the world as
the Chargers are, but.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
No surprise to Joe Hort.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
He's our guest on the Petrosen Money Shows Southern California
Toyota Dealer celebrity headset.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Which is on his head right now. Welcome.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
How did you get down here to was Did you
find it hard? We were worried about your duel with
Hawthorne Boulevard. No, it it was pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I just kind of dropped my sons off at home
and then in Hermosa and then just drove on down.
I don't know what roads. I just followed the navigation,
but I did come in my Toyota Sequoya. So there
you go at that and two balls.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Jersey. Did you get it at a Southern California Toyota? Yes,
he did, of course he did.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
I mean, the NFL is a place where everybody knows everybody,
and there's a lot of love between guys that you
worked with, or even somebody that knows the guy that
you work with that they say that's a good guy.
You know, there's trust there. It's something like that about
the football world. So how different is your approach when
you're playing a team that you really know the innards of,
(18:15):
you really understand their structure, and they're playing you and
they know about you.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, you know, I think some of the coaches on
our staff will come down that may not be as familiar.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Obviously our offensive a lot as on our offensive staff. No, no,
the Ravens personnel, but some of the defensive and then
even the special teams coaches will ask me about a
couple of players. But aside from that, you know, the coaches,
they prepare like they do every other week. And uh,
you know, I just got a I got a lot
more friends coming in for this game than I do
the previous ones. The only difference is these guys will
be rooting against us. You know.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
So there was a rumor that you used to do
a weekly show in Baltimore at a restaurant called the
Rusty Scupper.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
So I never did it, but there is a restaurant
called the Rusty Scuppers.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Oh yeah, we thought, well, you know, we like we
could get our own horteese. No, we're going to open
a Rusty Scuffer exactly right, good seafood plans. Yeah, when
you have you're both your coordinators spent time on the
Ravens staff.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
How similar are these teams?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Do you see a lot of what you spent time
with out there in this Charger team this year?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah? I think so, you know, I think that's that's
the way you know, Jim and I's philosophy, you know,
And that's a great thing I'm saying. You know, Harball's coach.
Both teams coached by Harball, so that we we have
similar identities. And yeah, you know we're we're built, you know,
in their image, and that's that's a good thing to
build yourself after. And and that's that's our goal. We
want to be tough and physical. We said it from
the beginning, and uh, you know, I think we're living
(19:38):
up to that.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
You certainly know how important having a quarterback is. You
got Lamar Jackson in Baltimore two m v p s,
maybe a third this year. Now you've got probably the
one of the most, if not the most physically talented
quarterback in the league in Justin Herbert. How much how
how much did you know about Justin before you you know,
got this job and really dug into it. And how
(19:59):
surprise he is on a heck of a run this
last five weeks.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
He's playing great ball. And uh, you know, obviously when
you go into schools as a scout or you know
with the scouts, or you know, I saw Justin play
his last year against Washington. We played Seattle that weekend,
and uh, so we were all at the game and
it was a rainy, windy day and he's just throwing
darts all over the place, and you knew how great
of a kid he was. You knew how great of
(20:23):
a competitor, and certainly his talent speak for hisself. And uh,
but when you get here, I think, I think the
thing that mesmerizes me as an evaluator is how athletic
he is for a man that size, you know, it
just he looks like an elite sized tight end, you know.
And then just get you watch a move and and
run and it's it's so deceptive. And and then just
(20:46):
a person, you know, coach closed about him, and there's
a reason. And he's just a special individual, special competitor,
really a rare teammate. And I tell a lot of
the young guys in in our in our scouting department
that they are blessed to be around players like Justin
and Khalil and Derwin because those players they're they're unicorns,
you know, aside they're super talented, but just the type
(21:09):
of teammate and people they are is just it's rare
in any profession, any profession. But to be that successful
and that talented and yet such take such a humble
approach and a hard working approach is tremendous. And they're
great leaders.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
You know, it's interesting when you interview coaches and people
for a living, you hear a lot of the same things,
and you know, it's not like anybody stands in front
of their team and says, you know, we're going to
be soft. Yeah, you know, we're going to buckle in
the fourth quarter. Our legs are going to buckle. You know,
everybody says we want to be physical, we want an
identity of physicality, and we want to.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Beat teams with our will.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
To get it done is such a different thing, and
to get it done in a quick fashion.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I guess in pro football.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Maybe it's easier than it is in with a different
program in college or something. But how do you actually
go about flipping the team's mental physically.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Well, you know, I think one the players that coaches
said it before. It existed already, and you know, he
just coach brought it out. And you know it's it's
the leadership of coach, you know. And and you know
we're not we're gonna work. We're gonna outwork everyone, but
we're gonna have fun doing it, and we're gonna go
out the extra mile. We're gonna have the fourth quarter finishers.
And you and you bring in the staff he's brought in.
It starts with Ben Herbert in the weight room and
(22:23):
just put all the position coaches, all the coordinators. There's
just an attack mentality and that's the mentality they set.
And then we have players that can match that and
and they were here before and the ones we added,
you look for that and the players you're adding and
uh and we've been able to find that in the
in the new players, the draft picks, the free agents,
the pickups.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You mentioned the uh.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
You mentioned the draft picks, and there was a lot
of discussion. I don't know how much you paid attention
to it nationally. With the number five pick got the.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Tackle here, he just left the right tackles Jersey. You
guys are unreal how much how.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Much debate was around it, and and just kind of
now that you're ten games in, Uh, he legitimately should
be in the Rookie of the Year conversation when you
think about what he's doing and what he means to
this offense.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Yeah, I mean he's a special player, special special person
in terms of debate. You know, we loved him from honestly,
Jim and I were together when Baltimore played Houston in
the in the divisional game. Now that we both had
second meetings set up with with the Chargers and we
(23:33):
got talking, he asked about JJ McCarthy just because it's
his you know, hey, he's JJ. You know where's JJ
I go? And we talked about that and then he's like,
how about the tackles. Have you looked at the tackles?
And I'm like, heh yeah, Joe all Is you need
to look at Joe all He's special. And uh so,
you know, there wasn't a lot of you know, discussion.
There was discussion that there's that in every draft process
(23:54):
you have to have you have to stack the board. Uh,
but we certainly knew what Joel represented and we felt
like we wanted to have that here. And that's not
to take away anything from the other players that were
selected around him, because we love them as well. And
but just the right guy, right fit talent, you can't
pass up. And uh and we're we were fired up
that he was there.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Then you were right, man.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
You know, it's pretty interesting in the day of uh,
in the day and age of NFL coaches, some of
these guys, at least they especially the newer ones, they
look like guys that sell like high end medical equipment
to hospitals. You know, they're they're good looking guys, their
hairs all combed.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You know.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
It doesn't feel like Marv Levy singing go bills to
the to the to the fans anymore. But Harba is
Harbaugh and we've known him for a long time. I
knew him at USD, for God's sakes, and he's always
been himself he is. What is it about a quirky
guy like that that can that resonates And I'm sure
John is very similar, not as quirky, but that resonates
(24:53):
with players today because uh, it feels like there would
be a disconnect, but there's there's less of a disconnect
more of a connect.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
And then then you could imagine.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, well, you know, it's funny because John John will
tell you, you know, he's got a little bit of
quirkiness too, you know, but and and we all do.
But you know, what I'd say is with both of
the brothers, and obviously have been blessed to work with
both of them, they connect with the players, and it's real.
And you know, they don't try to be someone they're not.
They this is who I am, this is our mentality,
(25:22):
this is how we're going to do it, and it's
it's founded on hard work and and you know, you know,
being committed and team focus and and let's do it
together and let's have fun doing it. And but they're
they're honest and they're real with the players. And I
think if you talk to any player, they'll talk about
you know, how Jim is just what he says, is
how he feels. He doesn't hide anything. You know, if
(25:45):
someone needs to be challenged, he'll challenge them. If someone
needs to be praised, he'll praise them. It's all from
the heart, and uh, and they feel it, and it's
easy to buy in and it's not just with the players,
it's the whole organization. I've said this before, you know.
And when I was doing the interview circuits around the combine,
when when Jim walks in the room, he takes it
up a level, and you guys feel as fans, and
(26:05):
you feel it as co workers and employees in the
building and coaches and you know, business and the operations,
and everyone feels it. There's just a presence to them
and excitement and the passion that you want to match.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
And it's interesting because when he was at the college level,
everybody said, well, that wouldn't work. It's not going to
work in the NFL, you know, because these guys are cynical,
they're grizzled veterans.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
They don't want to hear it.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's not the case at all.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
No.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Well, I mean, listen, it's a game, right you want
to have fun. It requires hard work to be successful.
You boil it down to the basics, and let's go
do it, you know. So let's work hard, let's be focused,
let's be disciplined, let's be right, do right by each other,
and let's go have fun doing it, you know. And
and his message is clear and clean and we go
do it.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
You you got really an incredible amount of young guys
that are big, like big parts of his team and
the success of his team, whether it's second your players
like Tu Lee and Scott, Matt Locke and Dayon and
Q or rookies like Lad McConkey and Joe Walt. And
you've got two fifth round corners, a premium position that
(27:07):
you typically need to find in the first round if
they're going to get out there. Yet, Cam Hartens, are
you still are huge contributors to this team?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Have you been around that?
Speaker 7 (27:14):
And what can you point to as to why maybe
on a team that's playing with veterans that these young
guys have managed to break into it not just the rotation,
but become starters, have become key components to your success.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Yeah, you know, just talking about a lot of the
second year guys first, you know, they just certainly they
were talented and they deserve to be drafted where they
were drafted, and you know, it's about the opportunities that
they can create for themselves and that are that are
given to them. And each one of those guys they
were challenged like, hey, it's there for the taking. And
it's a testament to them, you know, to them like, hey,
they love the game of football. They work hard. Again,
(27:50):
they're committed and they put the time in and they
want to do well and they love the I mean,
they truly love the game. And all those guys you mentioned, uh,
you know that's important for our scouting process. You know,
we look at the players, we look at the talent,
but we also look at the person. And if you
can now the person and hit on the person, they're
gonna match whatever talent. They're going to reach whatever talent
level you think they have. And so you know he
(28:12):
called the high floor high ceiling. Well, those guys that
have that are wired right, they can break through their ceiling.
And I think that's what you're seeing with Tarheeve and
Cam and Ladd and Joe, like you know, all our rookies.
There are a bunch of great guys. The two corners
specifically he asked about, like, hey, that's the process. You know,
you stack the board, opportunity comes to take them. You
trust the picks because you got buy in from the staff.
(28:35):
You know the players, you know who they are, and
you know what you expect them to be and when
they exceed it. That's what you want because of how
they're made up and the way they're wired.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
You trade it up to get lady. And we're really
starting to see him hit a stride. How like, walk
us through the the evaluation, like what you saw, why
you traded up and why I think it was what
seventh receiver taken or ninth somewhere in it's a weird number,
but maybe, yeah, I think, but it's like just it's
been impressive to watch these last few weeks where it
(29:05):
looks like he's really getting comfortable with justin Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
You know, so the whole process is, you know, it's
the evaluation process. We stack him on the board and
they go off however they go off, and that's all positions.
But Ladd particularly, I saw him individually myself in the
fall at Georgia, and you know, I've spent a lot
of time in the Southeast scouting over the years, and
you know, I'm very familiar with the SEC. So he
stood out before he was even a a you know,
(29:30):
drafts eligible player. And but you know, in terms of selecting,
you stack the board, decision to go up. Hey, there
was a one run on whiteouts and there were a
couple left on the board, but he was the one
we wanted and why wait, why risk it? You know,
we had a trade partner in New England that was
looking to you know, move back and and improve their
pick later in the in the draft, and we were
(29:52):
able to hold the same pit number of picks. We
just had to swap, you know, go back from the
fourth to the fifth. And it's just a move that
made sense because we were able to get the guy
we want in the second round. And then we you know,
trust the process, trust, trust the stack, you know, the board,
and and you know, pick the right guy when it's
your time to pick. And that's what we did.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Je Ortiz is gonna stay here at the BJ's for
hours when we're done, because of see Georgia Tech NC
State games on and he wants to scout that that
super white boy, fat neck linebacker from Georgia Tech.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I know he does, uh.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
And he wants everybody to come up to him and
tell him what they what he what they think about football? Uh. Overall,
how do you like living in the South Bank, How
do you like uh coaching football on the West Coast.
Is it a lot different than what you thought it?
Would be like, it feels like your guy's messages is
resonated throughout the team and everybody's enjoying the experience.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Yeah, it's a great place. I mean, you know, I've
come out to l a couple of times and and
full transparency, My first two trips out here weren't the
greatest because I once I got sick and the other
one I got my card my credit card numbers. Yeah,
you know, I'm like, oh man, I don't know about
this LA.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
A lot of that. I think I's a pretty good
I think I was sick.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Before I got on the plane, you know, but it
just manifested itself while I was here. But you know,
Pete Carroll kicked me off of practice at USC because
he was playing Stanford that weekend, and the head coach
and so I, you know, I you know, and I
understood it, you know, but I called that.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I called the what's your deal?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
That was?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
That was the game?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
That was That was the game. That was the game,
and you have.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
To go for to make it fill. I understood.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, I got to well, you know, they ran it
up on the year before, you know, so I was
on I gotta be honest, I was I was going
leaving the stadium when when I when that happened, because
they went up big and I had to fight to
catch up. I was going to Stanford the next day
to go scout and I had a flight to catch
and uh, I'm walking out and I hear two point
conversion failed. I'm like, oh, he didn't try to hang
(31:56):
half half a hundred on and didn't really, So I
go running back in. And then I saw him the
next day. I'm like, oh, man, that's cold blooded. He's like,
you like that. I was like, I loved it, the
best cold blooded you know.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
So hey, some say hardball ran Pete Carroll out of college.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But no, I wouldn't say.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I say that, no.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Pizza, hell of a coach.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
But you like it.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
You know the kids, you know, the surfing's on the way.

you know, we love where we live. We're right there,
close to the beach and Hermosa. You don't want to
be on a walk street though we're not on the.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Kids and everybody.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I wouldn't want to live on the strands, you know, all.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
The screaming matches on the walks.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
T oh Yeah, that's yeah, that's that's tough. I mean
it's like it's like a you know, looking zoo, you
know where people were Like I literally walked by, we
were taking the dogs for walking. I walked by and
the someone was doing you know TikTok or Instagram, you know,
they were recording something and they were making drinks. And
I thought they were just making drinks, you know, and
I'm I'm not getting ready to interact with them. And
(32:59):
my wife hits me on the shoulder because she's got
that little circle that you know light, and I'm thinking
she's like just making drinks and I'm like getting ready
to talk to her, and my wife hits me, like,
knock it off. She's doing something for you know.
