LA Sports. Don McLain of the Big ten Network in
(01:27):
CAA and right here on AM five seventy is the
BFF and basketball analysts for the Petros and Money Show
is here. David Vassey coming up at seven o'clock. Don
has already picked the Dodgers in five. Yes, which was
one upping my Dodgers in five pick that's supposed to
be coming up next in the College Football Whipperround. Thanks
(01:49):
a lot, Don.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Are you sure you had the Dodgers in five? Are
you just saying that because I said it?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm not just saying that. I also had the Dodgers
in five, and I'd like the Dodgers in so they
could cover us up on Friday. But it's not gonna
happened because I like the Dodgers in five the way
they and you better when I do the College Football
Whip and the next segment. When I do that, you
(02:17):
had better not say anything about your pick earlier because
the people that hurt earlier they're you know, they're gone.
They went back into their house or something. Maybe podcasters
on the iHeart Radio app. But you play it cool.
Do you think you can do that?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
We'll see when we get there.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh, come on, Don, come on, it's time. We talked
a little bit earlier about all the controversy going on
the NBA Let's get this a little bit of nuts
and bolts about the teams in town that you've seen
after they played now one game, Clippers playing again tomorrow
on AM eleven fifty. Let's call this the top story
of it Top story of the day, brought to you
(02:55):
by seem Valley High School. Let's go Pioneers. Don McLean
on the ones and twos. Don let's start with the
team he used to work for for I don't know,
like twenty years, the Clippers. Everybody thought, what a great
year it's going to be for the Clippers. They were playing,
not opposite the Lakers or anything. They're on the road,
(03:15):
got everybody watching Clippers against Utah, and they got blown out,
completely destroyed. What happened to the Clippers against the Utah Jazz?
Is that a big deal to have an opening night
like that? Their worst opening nights since like the eighties.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, it's only one game, so no one's going to
jump to conclusions, or at least they shouldn't. I think
the alarming thing is how they weren't ready to play
the first game of the year against arguably what a
lot of people think is going to be the worst
team in the league.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh yeah, way too many.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Why and it's one thing to lose, but you said it.
They got blown out, and look, I get it. They're
trying to incorporate some new pieces, but not that many.
Like the core group is pretty much the same. Bradley
Beal started, he was on minutes restriction, but other than him,
like all the other guys have been. So it's not
like you got a brand new team like a college
basketball team now where there's ten or twelve new players with.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The coach and a GM that they're all supposed to
be Verry from area.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, and so you can't say that we weren't you know,
we're incorporating new stuff. That's that's not right. It's as
simple as they weren't ready to play, and we'll see
how they bounce back on Friday. It's not even worth
because of how bad they played and that they didn't
show up even dissecting what happened, because it was as
simple as that they weren't ready to play. And I think,
(04:30):
you know, well, I still believe the Clippers are a contender.
I do because of their depth. But let's let's revisit
it in twenty five games and see where we're at.
But it is disappointing if you're a Clipper fan with
Kawhi Leonard healthy after a healthy offseason, wasn't rehabbing, wasn't
trying to come back, had a complete offseason, hardened back,
(04:50):
and like you get blown out by the worst team
in the league. So disappointing, but not a not a
season ender, by mean worse for most people. Because Don
McLain wasn't there to explain it to everybody after the game.
That's right, Well, you heard it right from Don McClain,
who spent twenty years as a Clippers analyst. The Clippers
(05:11):
were so bad last night that there's really nothing to analyze.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They were just terrible and perhaps they'll be better against
the Suns. That game, like we said, is on AM
eleven fifty. We got the Dodgers in the World Series.
You got a prediction for that one.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Don, Yeah, I was thinking Dodgers in five.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah. Just don't say it when I say it. Okay,
let me say it. I'm gonna have it during the
whip in the very next segment. I'm gonna do it. Okay,
second out of nine. Now, what about the le Okay
sucking down at nine? Now, the Lakers. On the other hand,
they don't have Lebron. I don't know how much that
helps or hurts or what that really means. They don't
(05:50):
have much of a bench. Luka Doncic went off, but
the Lakers still lost to what seemed to be a
more balanced Warriors team. Did you take anything away from that?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
What I took away is the Warriors are better this
year than they were last year. Jimmy Butler being there
full time, you know, Lakers turned it over too much.
I think you could say that's maybe because Lebron's not
in there and they're you know, maybe too much was
put on Luca. Wasn't an efficient game for him. I
think he took like twenty seven shots for his forty
three points.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Has had a lot of shots.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
But here's the problem, and I know this from my
own experience, and I don't always go to the one
I played card, but I played with a couple guys
that were superstar players. And when you have a guy
like Datchet's and all his greatness, and he is great,
but when he's taking that many shots, it makes it
so hard for the other guys to play with him
(06:39):
because you never know if you're going to get the
ball or not. If he's you assume that he's probably
gonna come down, take his guy off the dribble and
get his own. Well sometimes he doesn't. Now are you
ready to shoot? Are you ready to make a play?
And so I think that's things that'll get ironed out.
But we talk about this all the time. The problem
is you get used to playing a certain way without Lebron.
(07:00):
We don't know how long he's going to be out,
and then Lebron comes back and you got to start
all over again because he's in there.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And so I just they're going to get used to
playing with the one superstar and then they're going to
have to accommodate Lebron, who's more passing oriented.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But still, yeah, in their complimentary players, you know, Austin
Reeves has found his way. He played pretty well the
other night. But I just think the other guys, it's
the other guys that the other starters, the guys that
come off the bench. How do they fit in, how
do they become productive? How do they affect the game
in a winning way? Playing with Luca now and then
(07:37):
playing with Luca and Lebron once he comes back.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Now, you were very much front and center for the
career in college of DeAndre Ayton, and of course we've
kept up with him in the pros. Now the Lakers
going to be able to get what they want out
of him. It hasn't worked anywhere else, But this is
his moment, right or is he just not that guy? Think?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I think there's a big enough sample set from Arizona
in his one year early in the NBA that he's
just not that guy. He doesn't have the will, the determination,
the ego to be dominant when everyone's looking around and
looking at him with all the physical tools saying, dude,
you could be dominant if you wanted to be, And
(08:19):
he's just not. And so hopefully as the season moves
along and JJ Reddick I think is proven already that
he knows what he's doing, can somehow get enough out
of DeAndre eight and to go along with Luca and
Lebron and the other guys to where they're a winning
team and a playoff team. But I think all of
(08:40):
us thought that going to the Lakers and iconic franchise
and getting to play with Lebron and Luka Doncic.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, to change his whole out look.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yep, and look, like I said with the Clippers, you
can't judge him on one game, but he played thirty
plus minutes I think, and had ten points and six
rebounds against a team that doesn't really play with the center.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, so a little bit. I don't want to say
alarming because it's one game, but if there's a team
in the league, or one of the teams in the
league that he has a chance to dominate, it would
be against the Warriors, and he didn't Warriors.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Big overall, I would say the best thing going for
the Lakers and the Clippers this morning is that nobody
was arrested by the FBI top to bottom. The biggest
story in the NBA that we've seen all season long
is an NBA head coach, Chauncey Billups arrested this morning
by the FBI for being like a front man in
(09:42):
a gambling ring. My god, you know, Don and we
think about we talked about it in the first hour
about how gambling is so prevalent now and it's so
different from when we were players or early in our
broadcasting career that it's not taboo anymore. Vegas is a
whole thing and everybody can gamble on their phones, but
(10:02):
that doesn't seem to be what was happening in this situation.
In the NBA, it's Chauncey Billups on these all night
poker games with the mafia and these super rich guys.
It's rosier with the point shaving thing that they had
with donnahe you know something similar like that. It's a
coach giving out bad information or good information that is
(10:23):
with bad intent. I mean, so these these are deeply
rooted type of story.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
But the interesting thing to me, and you just mentioned it,
that it's changed so much in the appetite or how
it's viewed sports gambling, well for the NFL, the NBA,
whenever something like this comes out. The reason it's changed
is you want all their money, right, yeah, you want
all their money and all the.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Draft Kings, ESPN bat Win, Terry Bradshaw's money. I mean,
it's all they're making money off it, So they want
both sides of it, exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
And so we talked about it's so easy to bet
now and it's so tempting for players, and you know
whether whether these guys are doing it to win money
or they have a gambling problem like they get a
high on. Yeah, you have to know that if you're
giving inside information that no one knows to somebody who's
(11:23):
betting and profiting off that, that it's wrong and this
is the fallout from it, and it's unfortunate. But you know,
maybe this is a wake up call for other NBA players.
But it just happened with the guy from the Raptors,
Jani Porter. Yeah, Jani Porter. And so we don't know
(11:43):
if this is just the beginning, even.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
If there's a lot more.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That that they're you know, once these guys that they've
you know, arrested, what if they start talking and there's
more people and more players. Hopefully not, but this could
be I'm a big It's already a big story. It
could become an even bigger story.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Knowing what you know and being so involved in the
NBA like you are and NBA people. I mean, I
suppose that the Chauncey Billups element of this was pretty surprising.
But are you surprised by the prevalence of these stories
and how much they're coming out more and more, Like
you just said, they had the situation with Porter and Canada.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, no, I'm not. Because you've made sports gambling so mainstream,
so available, so easy, and it's just it's it's overwhelmingly tempting.
I think for some of these guys just be like, Oh, no,
one's gonna know if I just tell them that so
and so is not playing, and I know one's gonna know. Well,
(12:44):
they know there's companies now that track all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So if there are more stories, if this is like
the tip of the proverbial iceberg, how's the NBA gonna
go forward? Like what does Adam Silver do? Come up
with another n season tournament? Like how do they combat
all this negative attention?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, the real question is do you start to distance
yourself from the draft Kings and the fan duels of
the world, even though you like their sponsorship dollars and
make it less available, less mainstream, less a part of
our league. I mean, that's one way to do it,
but I highly doubt that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, they already have that money, is already accounted for, right,
So now that that money's accounted for, what are they
going to do? Right, just wear it with a bunch
of lawyers and pr statements.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I guess, I guess, but I'm sure there's already, you know,
plans being made for teams to meet about this again,
even though I'm ninety nine point nine percent sure they've
already met about this.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Don't shake points, Yeah, don't hang out with the mob.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Don't tell people who's injured and who's not seeing. It's
like a no brainer, Yeah right, the mob things different
because it wasn't it didn't involve sports. It was this
illegal poker games.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Because these people are sports figures that.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Would be part of the meeting as well. We're not
gonna hopefully associate with the five crime families of New York.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The only Italian you get to hang out with is
an Argentinian Italian named Manu Genobili.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
And you can still go to Olive Garden.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's a pretty interesting situation. So in recap, the Clippers
beaten so badly, what can you take from it? Nothing?
The Lakers Luca takes too many shots, and then it's
gonna be weird when Lebron comes back.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, I don't know, not weird, it's just going to
take incorporating him back. As you know. Look, every team
when they start a season, there's you know, there's nothing's
perfect to start the season. So it's going to take
some time to when Lebron's ready to incorporate him back
in there. But I think the Lakers are gonna be fine.
They're definitely better than they were last year with Luca
(14:55):
for a full season. But we'll see how they progress.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And the NBA, they like that good money for the gambling,
but they don't like the fallout perhaps right all right,
the most that you're gonna get out of the basketball
mind of Don McClain, at least today, probably we'll have
the quick hits in another hour. Petro sent money on
AM five seventy LA Sports the College Football Whip with
(15:18):
my Dodger prediction. Don't choose, it's coming up, Mack. Don't
do it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Don. We've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or
your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset
on the iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Petro sent Money back with you live on AM five
seventy LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app. You can
also podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app. We've got Dodgers.
We got Blue Jays Tomorrow World Series Game one. Who
would have thought that the Dodgers would be in the
World Series this year other than everybody, But it's happening
(16:05):
and it's exciting. The city comes to life Don.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Two months ago. I don't think a lot of people
thought they'd be in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They flipped the switch. Don like the Lakers of yesteryear,
except likable and we'll be happy in this series. Tomorrow
show starts at two on the Flex Alert. We'll be
done at four. Kates takes over. It is time, though,
since we've talked about all kinds of other stuff to
(16:32):
get to the college football whip Flack. I love being
here for the whip. Well, it's not a day to
talk about gambling, but the first is not. Well, we'll
give some picks. The first official college football Playoff rankings
will be released to tuesdays from now Tuesday, November fourth,
to be exact. It's year two of the twelve team formats.
Still hard to understand what is actually happening for a
(16:55):
lot of us. We have enormous conferences with sixteen, seventeen,
eighteen teams. Each team plays only eight or nine league games.
The league games are staggered randomly, so you can go
a decade and only play a league rival three or
four times. Is there any way to guarantee strength? The
quality of schedule and the league schedules get decided years
(17:17):
in advance, but the players can change schools within the
conferences every year.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
What's fun for me, pe is I'm going to be
in Eugene that day, so that may be our open
Oh my god, Oregon is in the love?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Didn't it make more sense? For instance, don the Pac
ten football teams would play each other, and then they'd
play the other nine conference teams every season, Plus they
had three non league games to add on their own. Yes,
felt like it made more sense. The Pac ten and
Pac twelve had an average ninety minute flight, mostly across
(17:56):
the Pacific time zone. Now the Big ten the Big
twelve teams plan across four time zones, and everybody bitches
about the travel east to west and west to east.
Who exactly is better off with these new extreme massive conferences?
The fans, the players, the players' families, the media. I
(18:18):
don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Everybody's making money though, right,
so shut up, get on the plane. Last week's picks
were a dreadful two and five. I'm now twenty five
and twenty one overall in twenty twenty five. I'm going
to help you out this week, peepe I was wrong
on road favorites Texas Tech and Utah. My only two
wins Notre Dame minus nine and a half, Maryland plus
(18:41):
three and a half over UCLA plus. Both of those
wins only by half a point. Without further ado, let's
get to this week's picks and the college football with Wow,
you're alma mater Dawn, Ucla three and four at number two,
Shockingly Indiana seven and zero, nine o'clock, I'm big noon
on Fox?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Is that a factor? P I know it wasn't basketball,
but like the market having to play at nine am.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It would be. But like all of these they say
it is, they'll use it as an excuse, except Tim
Skippers that he wouldn't. But all of these college football teams,
a lot of them practice in the morning now, and
it's like you practice at eight point thirty. You're on
the field at nine am Pacific time every day, and
then you complain about that being the kickoff time, Like,
(19:27):
isn't that what you do to try to acclimate yourself.
And now they just do it anyway because the schedules
are flipped for the players the way they put them
in class. So I would say, yeah, it's a factor,
but you practice at nine am.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Now it's as different though shouldn't be as much of
a pro. I was in school and you were in
school practice.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, Chip Kelly moved into the morning on the West
coast and everybody followed. Suit USC does it too, and
they complained about the nine am kick at Illinois, and
it's like, you guys are practice every day. Every day.
You check your phone at like nine thirty, ten o'clock.
You get us he practice stuff because they're out there right.
The Bruins three game winning streak has been entertaining and
(20:08):
inspiring this month, but the party will continue in Bloomington.
Not much no parties coming to a screeching halt in
a season and a half in Indiana, Kurtzignetti's teams have
shown no mercy to lesser teams. It's great to see
the leadership from Nico Iamalayaba in UCLA's last second went
(20:29):
over Maryland last week with Deshaun Foster and Tinos and
Seri out of the picture. We've seen Nico flash that
five star talent, but Ferdie Mendoza will be the best
quarterback on the field Saturday, and the Hoosiers are playing
for higher stakes than the Bruins. If this was a
basketball game between these two hoop blue bloods, I'd be
taking Ucla definitely. But it's football, and I've got Indiana
(20:53):
minus the twenty four and a half. Ooh yes, black
black Whay Party's over number eight Old Miss six and
one at number thirteen, Oh Klahoma six and one, nine
o'clock on ABC. That's their big noon counter flack Flack Lane.
(21:14):
Kiffin brings his high powered offense and the Palace on
the Prairie, and the Rebels will also be bringing their
portable basketball hoop to the sideline where they dunk.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
That'll be a Norman as well. Kiffin wanted to give
his players a way to celebrate scoring touchdowns and creating turnovers,
so instead of a turnover chain or a hat or
a turnover shotgun, the Rebels celebrate by slam dunking the football. Okay,
much like Don McLain tries to use our trash cans
as some kind of display of superior talent here at
(21:46):
the station, not fooling anybody.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Don Yeah, a.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Quarterback John Mattier, the engineer, had hand surgery in late September,
missed a game now in two games back. But Tier
has not found on the elite level he showed in
the first four games. The Rebels are coming off a
loss at Georgia. But if they beat Oklahoma. They finished
with four very winnable games in November, and how what
an eleven and one record in the SEC not guarantee
(22:14):
them a playoff? Bit it will for sure the wrong
team might be favored here. I expect some touchdowns and
some celebratory slam dunks on the Rebel sideline. I'm taking
punk Aslane Kiffin an old miss plus.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Four and a half black, I do plus four and
a half.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Number fifteen, Missou six and one at number ten, Vandy
six and one, twelve thirty ESPN Vandy two and a
half point favorite Vandy and Indiana. What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
This is the Andy coming up beating Lsules.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That's right. Eighteenth time Missouri and Vandy will meet on
the grid iron, but it's the first time they've played
with both schools being ranked. This showdown features a pair
of upwardly mobile coaches. A guy that Tim Kates has
interviewed on the radio before, Miszoo coach Eli Drinkwitz, better
known as Coach drink. He's an foc freend of Kates.
(23:13):
Yeah he is. After you talk to him on the phone,
he was like m I Z and he expected Kates
to say z ou. But Kate's was like, all right, coach,
thanks lot.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Coach had a great game.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He didn't say it. Vandy's coach Clark Lee, both being
mentioned for the open Penn State and Florida jobs. This
is Vandy's first game as a top ten team since
nineteen forty seven, seventy eight years.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Wow, isn't Game day gonna be there too?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I guess yes. And Pavey's mom, who's a lot of pressure,
hot blooded Latina. I believe Vandy is a team of
destiny with Diego Pavia and his mom leading the charge
in his sixth year, He's leading the charge for the doors.
That's what they call him for. Sorry, Coach drank better
(24:03):
luck on the coaching carousel. I'm taking Verity minus two
and a half anchor down doors? What number eleven BYU
seven and zero at Iowa State five and two twelve
thirty on Fox, Clones two and a half point faves.
I picked BYU to lose the Holy Warren probo last week,
and I'm wrong. I wouldn't have done it. I shouldn't
(24:25):
have done it. Didn't that game go overtime or no?
It was close, but no. BYU went to overtime with
Arizona the week before Dawn thanks for researching. Props to
freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeyer, who has played his way into
the National Freshman of the Year conversation. Now the Cougar's
hit the road to Ames, Iowa, where the Cyclones have
(24:45):
announced both banged up running backs Carson Hansen and Abu
Sama will be full doze. What makes this coaching matchup
interesting to me is the physical nature of both men.
Kalanie Sataki played starting fullback for four years at b
scored one career touchdown because he blocked on every play.
Matt Campbell was a decorated defensive end for D three
(25:07):
Powerhouse Mount Union. Both teams are a reflection of their coach.
I'm going with the chalk again. I've got the Clones
minus two and a half Black At some point he's
gonna play like a freshman. Number twenty three Illinois five
and two at Washington five and two, twelve thirty pm
(25:27):
on Fox. That is a game I am not calling.
Why not not assigned it? Sign me a game. The
Huskies are four and a half point favorite. After a
week performance in an armor, the Huskies face the biggest
game to date against the Alliani. The Dogs need to
bounce back if they want to finish in the upper
half of the Big ten standings. Illinois put up a
(25:50):
spirited fight against Ohio State before losing. Now they've had
a week off to refocus and get ready for their
final five games. The and I will be just as physical,
if not more physical, than Michigan was against U dub
last week. So I'm taking Illinois plus four and a half.
Take it Fish, what we're still going really? Number twenty
(26:14):
two Texas five and two at Mississippi State one o'clock
on the SEC Network. Horns are seven and a half
point favorites. Arch Manning in Texas have been relegated to
the SEC network tomorrow for the umpteenth time. My arch
Manning rant is as such. The young man came into
the season with three spring footballs and three fall camps,
(26:37):
all under Steve Sarkisian's systems supervision. Plus he started two
games in twenty twenty four. Check out the August Twitter
accounts of your favorite college football expert. Arch was a
Heisman front runner and the consensus number one pick in
the twenty twenty six NFL draft, but he's under delivered.
He's been really good against Sam Houston and San Jose
(27:01):
at home, of course, he has. He played well on
the Red River rivalry on a neutral field in Dallas,
but he struggled on the road like USC in the
Ohio State, Florida and Kentucky away games. He's completed fifty
two percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three picks,
and the team is one and two. If he was
a true freshman, we'd give him a pass, but he's
(27:22):
in his third year on the team. He looks confused
when he drops Back's not seeing the picture quickly. Mississippi
State was four and oh before losing three straight, but
the Tennessee loss was an overtime. In the Florida loss
was my two. This could be a breakout road performance
for Arch, but with the cow bells ringing, I'm taking
(27:43):
the Bulldogs plus seven and a half points flow flat.
Have you ever been to Stark, Vegas? I have not you. No.
Houston is six and one at Arizona State. We've been there, yes,
many times. Five and two five o'clock ESPN two Devils
(28:04):
seven and a half point faves. The Forks were up
across the Valley of the Sun last week versus ASU,
where they held off the biggest payroll in college sports,
the Texas Tech Red Ragers, without their quarterbacks. The Red
Raiders were without their quarterback twenty six to twenty two,
signature win for the Devils, who cannot afford to let
down against the Willie Fritz led Cougars. On Saturday, Houston
(28:27):
features a double barrel run game with Texas A and
M transfer Casey Weigman and Rice transfer Dean Conners exciting Whites.
ASU quarterback Sam Levitt has been battling a foot injury
for weeks, but he still threw for over three hundred
yards against the high priced Texas Tech d The Devils
will be without superstar receiver Jordan Tyson, who's been ruled
(28:50):
out with a bad hamstring. This should be a tight game,
but this does not well. I'm not trying to upset
the ASU mascot Sparky the Sun Devil. But I'm taking
Willie Fritz in Houston plus the seven and a half Wow.
Last week's off the menu prop was spot on. I
predicted another Power Fork coach would be fired over the weekend,
(29:13):
and Florida, which won its game over Mississippi State, still
can Billy Napier. I wonder if college basketball coaches will
be getting fired in December and January like the college
football happened so early this year in September and October.
This week's off the menu prop, I see the Dodgers
winning the World Series in five games over the Blue Jays.
(29:36):
They beat the Yankees in five last year, and they'll
beat Toronto in five this year.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Black. Thank you. Let's reset the picks, Dawn. My favorites
this week are Indiana, Vandy, and Iowa State minus the points.
My underdog picks Old miss Illinois, Mississippi State, and Houston
all plus the points. That's fruit in those ways. Everybody
enjoy the games, and that is the college football whip.
(30:04):
Coming up next on a segment that you will love
that you may have never heard of. It's called only
Kate's cares, which means just by title alone, it precludes
your interest. That's right, and we'll be right back with more.

(31:13):
the new Angels manager, signed a one year deal. Gotta
feel pretty good about that. Yeah, did you ask about
that big vote of confidence? Coach stayed away from the
former Blue Jay and Dodger. The great Sean Green was on.
That was that was cool? Derek Carr, former Raiders quarterback.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
What does he have to do with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
He's a huge Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
He's going to Game four, by the way, so he's
coming back down for the game. So we saw him
at Dodgers Stadium like two months.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
He's also Matt's least favorite NFL player in the last
twenty years, Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Matt's attacked him
for years because he was the Raiders quarterback. The to
why because when the Chargers are losing, you got to
find somebody else to attack. We'll see if they win
tonight live on KFI. Enjoy the game, Des fruits and
las wuego. All right, El fuego. It is now time
(32:03):
done for a segment that is not new but rarely
used for obvious reasons. Uh. Tim Kates is feeling himself.
He's got Scam going three weeks. That thing is up
and run, doing a great job. Scam's, you know, kind
of like the sprunt. It's kind of like the spruce goose.
You know, it's huge, but it's hard to get it
off the ground, right, you know what I mean. And
(32:24):
now he's got it flying. He's got that monstrosity flying
for three weeks and gaining momentum. Buck Martinez yesterday, Derek
Carr who and Suzuki today didn't even need vassay today,
rest your voice, Fassay your loser. I mean, he's really
kicking ass. So this is these are stories that Kate's
a masses had like the span of a couple of days. Well, yeah,
(32:45):
it's called only Kates, but let me tell you, these
are stories that Kate's are masses that we don't care about, Like, hey,
you want to do this story and we're just now,
what are we doing? You know, just ignore him?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
How have I been doing the show for twenty years
and I've never heard about this?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I don't know, maybe you're not the list. It's called
what Only Kate's Cares?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And now for a segment that I've already lost interest
in before this open is finished, Only Cakes.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Welcome, dog, You're made in voyage here for Only Kate's Cares.
Thanks for having me, Absolutely, You're always welcome. Please come
back anytime Tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Really, he's kind of a reluctant guest. Being held hostage
is all you're saying. Well, he's just kind of like,
what is tomorrow night? Big night?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I'm keeping an open mind. I have a feeling I
might be interested in some of this.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Okay, I think you will. Don Petros probably not, but
you Yes. Tomorrow's Game one of the World Series Clippers
and Action Lakers and Action by Tomorrow Night. Also here
in Southern California, the ninetieth edition of the East LA
Classic Oh Mike Garrett, Yes, Got Garfield versus Roosevelt High
(33:54):
School and high school football.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Garrett and the guy from the Black Eyed Peas Where
I Am.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
A sold out crowd is expected at East LA College
for the seven thirty kickoff game. DJ Mustard will be
part of the halftime festivities. I know you're a big
Mustard fan. Don never heard of him. He's very tangy.
Now Garfield is on the verge of winning the Eastern League.
They're six and two, five and zero in league. Roosevelt
is four and four, but don't look now. They have
(34:19):
won three straight and they're three and one in the league.
After switching to everybody's favorite offense, the double wing attack.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
That walks in the city.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Undisciplined linebacker Eric Sinheimer points out on his Twitter yesterday,
don't expect a lot of passing in this game. Both
teams will run the football. We could see up to
seventy carries between the two teams tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
In the East LA Classic, Mike Garrett went to Roosevelt
by the way.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Oh yeah, you're gonna have to try again, Tim, I'm
not really all that.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Mike Carrot's a very first Heisman Trophy winner in the
history of the city of Los Angeles. That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Maybe this will get you not playing in the game.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Well no, but you know that's I think about when
I think about it. And you know who loves the
East LA Classic is will I Am from the uh
He first went to.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Palace sad It's high school. Remember he performed at SOFI
Stadium when they play. Was it last year or two
years ago? Will i Am was out there as part
of the halftime festivities. But the game is now back
at East LA College. Here's another one for you. Don
Maybe you care about this.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Jelitu Cina, but of jelly Tue reena bud of jelly Tae.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Everybody loves peanut, butter and jelly.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yesterday I was at.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Trader Joe's checking out and Trader Joe's had a box
in the frozen section of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
cutting a circle. Oh uh oh, they're not uncrustables. They're
Trader Joe's brand peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And the
lady at the checkout said, do you hear about this?
(35:49):
I said, nope, She goes. Trader Joe's is being sued
by smut. They are over their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
They said, trademark infringement in unfair common poti.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Making a peanut butter jelly is.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Right based on the constables are very unique and it's
not a real like regular sandwich. It's a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich cut in the circle.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yeah, but in a freeze, didn't they smuckers.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
The look they say is theirs.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
The packaging and the way peanut butter and jelly's written
they say is theirs. But that whole space saucer look
circlar with like.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
This feels like, you know, the the Utah hockey team
wanted to name themselves the Yetties and Yetti the cup
was like, you can't do that. They're like, it's a
it's a mythical monster, Like we can't do that and
they couldn't do it. I think it's ps brother.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Yeah Smuckers by the way, says you can't do this
because we've been selling in this space since two thousand,
so it's not like they've had the market for one
hundred years.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Or do they care about if you care about that.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I think it's kind of an interesting story. The only reason,
the only reason I don't care about it, and this
is breaking news because I've never said this on the show. Okay,
I am not a big fan of peanut butter and jelly.
What what I'm not?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
I don't know, never happened.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Not even peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
What if we switched it up like peanut butter and
strawberry jelly or grape jelly.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Just never been a big fan.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Okay, Well, sorry, they didn't go over. Well, Oscar de
la Joya went to Garfield. You're still on that, Petros,
We're way ahead.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah, we're talking p B and Jay Dude.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Come on, man, here's another one one more for you guys,
in case you care. One more Game one of the
World Series is tomorrow night. William is from East La.
But it looks like they sent him to West LA
for high school because of the music. That makes sense,
but he still celebrates the East LA class. Tickets for
Game one of the World Series and the Rogers Center
are going for over one thousand dollars to sit up
(37:49):
in the nosebleeds there in Toronto. In Toronto, there's a
way you can see Game one or Game two without
having to buy a ticket.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
You know how the hotel, the hotel the one that
those two people were having sex and that the whole
place was. We've all seen that.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Take the Toronto Marriott City Center hotel has rooms limited,
but rooms still available with a views still available of
the field. How are they still available as of I
don't know. An hour ago there was a couple left.
Really you could.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Get a room for nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Whoa what if you're a Bonfoy member, you know Continental
Breakfast and the nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
That's a great question.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
I may remember a bond butt the price does go
down by like seventy five dollars.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Oh yeah, actually it's cheaper by about seventy five eighty
dollars if you're a member of Marriott.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
The guys you get eighty off of nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
The guys from Los Lobos went to Garfield. Good to know.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
A couple of them, two double beds and a view
of the baseball stadium. Eighty eight hundred dollars plus tax
one king bed. If you're the baseball stay, it would
be pretty awesome. But eighty eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Let's type in Don's bonvoy number and see if it
goes down, like you know at the market when you
give him your phone number and you see how much
it goes down.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Now, the one that I was looking at earlier was
a sweet like a junior suite.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
They call it the Large Room.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
It basically had a pull out couch and a couple
of beds in like a little kitchen area, like a
nice hotel room.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
That one's gone. That was near ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
It would be awesome though, to watch a game in
a hotel room. Yeah, it would be pretty whatever you
want to do in the hotel room while you're watching
the game.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Now, it comes with four high chair four high chairs
that you could use to sit in, but you can't
hear the game because there's soundproof windows. You turn on
the TV ten thousand dollars to turn the TV on.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
No, but I'm watching the game live and then I
hear the sound on TV.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Now apparently according to Steve Sacks, I think he was
there recently with the a's. You can't from the field
look up and see in anymore. They've darkened the windows.
You can see out perfectly fine I'm talking about, but
the windows are darkened looking up out there. So you
got nine g's plus tax, and if you're a Marriott
Rewards member, you get it for about eighty seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
What are you going to do for the other three
and a half hours of the games? After your two
minute chops? Wait, what are you guys talking about?
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Would we wouldn't even be through the first out of
the top one. There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I guess you should a room service. I don't know
what you want to jeez. Very so it was a
swinging a whiff on the Now. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
I like the I like the hotel room.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Okay, the peanter burn and jelly sandwich story was that
a swing. I talked to the people, and Trader Joe's said,
well listen, I mean, I didn't google the story. It
came to me.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
The story came to me Trader Joe's employees have a
weird vibe.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Dude. Kevin, the manager of the Burbank Trader Joe's, is
a big listener. I have to say, I'm not saying
they're weird. I'm just saying it's a weird vibe. And there.
Oh yeah, real crunchy, groovinge crunchy, and I wouldn't be
surprised if they just go in the back and start
rapping each other. Yeah, you're right. Go in there and
ask for a soda, lay down on the granola, Molly,
go in there and ask for a cocher sprite. Do
(41:13):
their reaction cocher like what? We don't carry that stuff here.
We got probiotic sodas, So if you want that, we
have Doctor Brown's. It's ten times more expensive, same amount
of calories. All right, we'll be back with more Petro Sabney.
A whole other hour, a great sports talk. I got
a fun fact that's about Canada, much more interesting than
(41:34):
what we just did.
How's the stream stream commencing broadcasting on a M five

It's the Petro sand Money Show on AM five seventy
LA Sports. Don McLain of the Big ten Network in
(01:27):
CAA and right here on AM five seventy is the
BFF and basketball analysts for the Petros and Money Show
is here. David Vassey coming up at seven o'clock. Don
has already picked the Dodgers in five. Yes, which was
one upping my Dodgers in five pick that's supposed to
be coming up next in the College Football Whipperround. Thanks
(01:49):
a lot, Don.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Are you sure you had the Dodgers in five? Are
you just saying that because I said it?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm not just saying that. I also had the Dodgers
in five, and I'd like the Dodgers in so they
could cover us up on Friday. But it's not gonna
happened because I like the Dodgers in five the way
they and you better when I do the College Football
Whip and the next segment. When I do that, you
(02:17):
had better not say anything about your pick earlier because
the people that hurt earlier they're you know, they're gone.
They went back into their house or something. Maybe podcasters
on the iHeart Radio app. But you play it cool.
Do you think you can do that?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
We'll see when we get there.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh, come on, Don, come on, it's time. We talked
a little bit earlier about all the controversy going on
the NBA Let's get this a little bit of nuts
and bolts about the teams in town that you've seen
after they played now one game, Clippers playing again tomorrow
on AM eleven fifty. Let's call this the top story
of it Top story of the day, brought to you
(02:55):
by seem Valley High School. Let's go Pioneers. Don McLean
on the ones and twos. Don let's start with the
team he used to work for for I don't know,
like twenty years, the Clippers. Everybody thought, what a great
year it's going to be for the Clippers. They were playing,
not opposite the Lakers or anything. They're on the road,
(03:15):
got everybody watching Clippers against Utah, and they got blown out,
completely destroyed. What happened to the Clippers against the Utah Jazz?
Is that a big deal to have an opening night
like that? Their worst opening nights since like the eighties.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, it's only one game, so no one's going to
jump to conclusions, or at least they shouldn't. I think
the alarming thing is how they weren't ready to play
the first game of the year against arguably what a
lot of people think is going to be the worst
team in the league.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh yeah, way too many.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Why and it's one thing to lose, but you said it.
They got blown out, and look, I get it. They're
trying to incorporate some new pieces, but not that many.
Like the core group is pretty much the same. Bradley
Beal started, he was on minutes restriction, but other than him,
like all the other guys have been. So it's not
like you got a brand new team like a college
basketball team now where there's ten or twelve new players with.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The coach and a GM that they're all supposed to
be Verry from area.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, and so you can't say that we weren't you know,
we're incorporating new stuff. That's that's not right. It's as
simple as they weren't ready to play, and we'll see
how they bounce back on Friday. It's not even worth
because of how bad they played and that they didn't
show up even dissecting what happened, because it was as
simple as that they weren't ready to play. And I think,
(04:30):
you know, well, I still believe the Clippers are a contender.
I do because of their depth. But let's let's revisit
it in twenty five games and see where we're at.
But it is disappointing if you're a Clipper fan with
Kawhi Leonard healthy after a healthy offseason, wasn't rehabbing, wasn't
trying to come back, had a complete offseason, hardened back,
(04:50):
and like you get blown out by the worst team
in the league. So disappointing, but not a not a
season ender, by mean worse for most people. Because Don
McLain wasn't there to explain it to everybody after the game.
That's right, Well, you heard it right from Don McClain,
who spent twenty years as a Clippers analyst. The Clippers
(05:11):
were so bad last night that there's really nothing to analyze.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They were just terrible and perhaps they'll be better against
the Suns. That game, like we said, is on AM
eleven fifty. We got the Dodgers in the World Series.
You got a prediction for that one.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Don, Yeah, I was thinking Dodgers in five.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah. Just don't say it when I say it. Okay,
let me say it. I'm gonna have it during the
whip in the very next segment. I'm gonna do it. Okay,
second out of nine. Now, what about the le Okay
sucking down at nine? Now, the Lakers. On the other hand,
they don't have Lebron. I don't know how much that
helps or hurts or what that really means. They don't
(05:50):
have much of a bench. Luka Doncic went off, but
the Lakers still lost to what seemed to be a
more balanced Warriors team. Did you take anything away from that?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
What I took away is the Warriors are better this
year than they were last year. Jimmy Butler being there
full time, you know, Lakers turned it over too much.
I think you could say that's maybe because Lebron's not
in there and they're you know, maybe too much was
put on Luca. Wasn't an efficient game for him. I
think he took like twenty seven shots for his forty
three points.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Has had a lot of shots.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
But here's the problem, and I know this from my
own experience, and I don't always go to the one
I played card, but I played with a couple guys
that were superstar players. And when you have a guy
like Datchet's and all his greatness, and he is great,
but when he's taking that many shots, it makes it
so hard for the other guys to play with him
(06:39):
because you never know if you're going to get the
ball or not. If he's you assume that he's probably
gonna come down, take his guy off the dribble and
get his own. Well sometimes he doesn't. Now are you
ready to shoot? Are you ready to make a play?
And so I think that's things that'll get ironed out.
But we talk about this all the time. The problem
is you get used to playing a certain way without Lebron.
(07:00):
We don't know how long he's going to be out,
and then Lebron comes back and you got to start
all over again because he's in there.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And so I just they're going to get used to
playing with the one superstar and then they're going to
have to accommodate Lebron, who's more passing oriented.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But still, yeah, in their complimentary players, you know, Austin
Reeves has found his way. He played pretty well the
other night. But I just think the other guys, it's
the other guys that the other starters, the guys that
come off the bench. How do they fit in, how
do they become productive? How do they affect the game
in a winning way? Playing with Luca now and then
(07:37):
playing with Luca and Lebron once he comes back.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Now, you were very much front and center for the
career in college of DeAndre Ayton, and of course we've
kept up with him in the pros. Now the Lakers
going to be able to get what they want out
of him. It hasn't worked anywhere else, But this is
his moment, right or is he just not that guy? Think?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I think there's a big enough sample set from Arizona
in his one year early in the NBA that he's
just not that guy. He doesn't have the will, the determination,
the ego to be dominant when everyone's looking around and
looking at him with all the physical tools saying, dude,
you could be dominant if you wanted to be, And
(08:19):
he's just not. And so hopefully as the season moves
along and JJ Reddick I think is proven already that
he knows what he's doing, can somehow get enough out
of DeAndre eight and to go along with Luca and
Lebron and the other guys to where they're a winning
team and a playoff team. But I think all of
(08:40):
us thought that going to the Lakers and iconic franchise
and getting to play with Lebron and Luka Doncic.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, to change his whole out look.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yep, and look, like I said with the Clippers, you
can't judge him on one game, but he played thirty
plus minutes I think, and had ten points and six
rebounds against a team that doesn't really play with the center.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, so a little bit. I don't want to say
alarming because it's one game, but if there's a team
in the league, or one of the teams in the
league that he has a chance to dominate, it would
be against the Warriors, and he didn't Warriors.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Big overall, I would say the best thing going for
the Lakers and the Clippers this morning is that nobody
was arrested by the FBI top to bottom. The biggest
story in the NBA that we've seen all season long
is an NBA head coach, Chauncey Billups arrested this morning
by the FBI for being like a front man in
(09:42):
a gambling ring. My god, you know, Don and we
think about we talked about it in the first hour
about how gambling is so prevalent now and it's so
different from when we were players or early in our
broadcasting career that it's not taboo anymore. Vegas is a
whole thing and everybody can gamble on their phones, but
(10:02):
that doesn't seem to be what was happening in this situation.
In the NBA, it's Chauncey Billups on these all night
poker games with the mafia and these super rich guys.
It's rosier with the point shaving thing that they had
with donnahe you know something similar like that. It's a
coach giving out bad information or good information that is
(10:23):
with bad intent. I mean, so these these are deeply
rooted type of story.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
But the interesting thing to me, and you just mentioned it,
that it's changed so much in the appetite or how
it's viewed sports gambling, well for the NFL, the NBA,
whenever something like this comes out. The reason it's changed
is you want all their money, right, yeah, you want
all their money and all the.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Draft Kings, ESPN bat Win, Terry Bradshaw's money. I mean,
it's all they're making money off it, So they want
both sides of it, exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
And so we talked about it's so easy to bet
now and it's so tempting for players, and you know
whether whether these guys are doing it to win money
or they have a gambling problem like they get a
high on. Yeah, you have to know that if you're
giving inside information that no one knows to somebody who's
(11:23):
betting and profiting off that, that it's wrong and this
is the fallout from it, and it's unfortunate. But you know,
maybe this is a wake up call for other NBA players.
But it just happened with the guy from the Raptors,
Jani Porter. Yeah, Jani Porter. And so we don't know
(11:43):
if this is just the beginning, even.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
If there's a lot more.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That that they're you know, once these guys that they've
you know, arrested, what if they start talking and there's
more people and more players. Hopefully not, but this could
be I'm a big It's already a big story. It
could become an even bigger story.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Knowing what you know and being so involved in the
NBA like you are and NBA people. I mean, I
suppose that the Chauncey Billups element of this was pretty surprising.
But are you surprised by the prevalence of these stories
and how much they're coming out more and more, Like
you just said, they had the situation with Porter and Canada.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, no, I'm not. Because you've made sports gambling so mainstream,
so available, so easy, and it's just it's it's overwhelmingly tempting.
I think for some of these guys just be like, Oh, no,
one's gonna know if I just tell them that so
and so is not playing, and I know one's gonna know. Well,
(12:44):
they know there's companies now that track all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So if there are more stories, if this is like
the tip of the proverbial iceberg, how's the NBA gonna
go forward? Like what does Adam Silver do? Come up
with another n season tournament? Like how do they combat
all this negative attention?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, the real question is do you start to distance
yourself from the draft Kings and the fan duels of
the world, even though you like their sponsorship dollars and
make it less available, less mainstream, less a part of
our league. I mean, that's one way to do it,
but I highly doubt that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, they already have that money, is already accounted for, right,
So now that that money's accounted for, what are they
going to do? Right, just wear it with a bunch
of lawyers and pr statements.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I guess, I guess, but I'm sure there's already, you know,
plans being made for teams to meet about this again,
even though I'm ninety nine point nine percent sure they've
already met about this.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Don't shake points, Yeah, don't hang out with the mob.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Don't tell people who's injured and who's not seeing. It's
like a no brainer, Yeah right, the mob things different
because it wasn't it didn't involve sports. It was this
illegal poker games.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Because these people are sports figures that.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Would be part of the meeting as well. We're not
gonna hopefully associate with the five crime families of New York.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The only Italian you get to hang out with is
an Argentinian Italian named Manu Genobili.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
And you can still go to Olive Garden.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's a pretty interesting situation. So in recap, the Clippers
beaten so badly, what can you take from it? Nothing?
The Lakers Luca takes too many shots, and then it's
gonna be weird when Lebron comes back.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, I don't know, not weird, it's just going to
take incorporating him back. As you know. Look, every team
when they start a season, there's you know, there's nothing's
perfect to start the season. So it's going to take
some time to when Lebron's ready to incorporate him back
in there. But I think the Lakers are gonna be fine.
They're definitely better than they were last year with Luca
(14:55):
for a full season. But we'll see how they progress.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And the NBA, they like that good money for the gambling,
but they don't like the fallout perhaps right all right,
the most that you're gonna get out of the basketball
mind of Don McClain, at least today, probably we'll have
the quick hits in another hour. Petro sent money on
AM five seventy LA Sports the College Football Whip with
(15:18):
my Dodger prediction. Don't choose, it's coming up, Mack. Don't
do it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Don. We've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or
your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset
on the iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Petro sent Money back with you live on AM five
seventy LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app. You can
also podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app. We've got Dodgers.
We got Blue Jays Tomorrow World Series Game one. Who
would have thought that the Dodgers would be in the
World Series this year other than everybody, But it's happening
(16:05):
and it's exciting. The city comes to life Don.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Two months ago. I don't think a lot of people
thought they'd be in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They flipped the switch. Don like the Lakers of yesteryear,
except likable and we'll be happy in this series. Tomorrow
show starts at two on the Flex Alert. We'll be
done at four. Kates takes over. It is time, though,
since we've talked about all kinds of other stuff to
(16:32):
get to the college football whip Flack. I love being
here for the whip. Well, it's not a day to
talk about gambling, but the first is not. Well, we'll
give some picks. The first official college football Playoff rankings
will be released to tuesdays from now Tuesday, November fourth,
to be exact. It's year two of the twelve team formats.
Still hard to understand what is actually happening for a
(16:55):
lot of us. We have enormous conferences with sixteen, seventeen,
eighteen teams. Each team plays only eight or nine league games.
The league games are staggered randomly, so you can go
a decade and only play a league rival three or
four times. Is there any way to guarantee strength? The
quality of schedule and the league schedules get decided years
(17:17):
in advance, but the players can change schools within the
conferences every year.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
What's fun for me, pe is I'm going to be
in Eugene that day, so that may be our open
Oh my god, Oregon is in the love?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Didn't it make more sense? For instance, don the Pac
ten football teams would play each other, and then they'd
play the other nine conference teams every season, Plus they
had three non league games to add on their own. Yes,
felt like it made more sense. The Pac ten and
Pac twelve had an average ninety minute flight, mostly across
(17:56):
the Pacific time zone. Now the Big ten the Big
twelve teams plan across four time zones, and everybody bitches
about the travel east to west and west to east.
Who exactly is better off with these new extreme massive conferences?
The fans, the players, the players' families, the media. I
(18:18):
don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Everybody's making money though, right,
so shut up, get on the plane. Last week's picks
were a dreadful two and five. I'm now twenty five
and twenty one overall in twenty twenty five. I'm going
to help you out this week, peepe I was wrong
on road favorites Texas Tech and Utah. My only two
wins Notre Dame minus nine and a half, Maryland plus
(18:41):
three and a half over UCLA plus. Both of those
wins only by half a point. Without further ado, let's
get to this week's picks and the college football with Wow,
you're alma mater Dawn, Ucla three and four at number two,
Shockingly Indiana seven and zero, nine o'clock, I'm big noon
on Fox?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Is that a factor? P I know it wasn't basketball,
but like the market having to play at nine am.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It would be. But like all of these they say
it is, they'll use it as an excuse, except Tim
Skippers that he wouldn't. But all of these college football teams,
a lot of them practice in the morning now, and
it's like you practice at eight point thirty. You're on
the field at nine am Pacific time every day, and
then you complain about that being the kickoff time, Like,
(19:27):
isn't that what you do to try to acclimate yourself.
And now they just do it anyway because the schedules
are flipped for the players the way they put them
in class. So I would say, yeah, it's a factor,
but you practice at nine am.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Now it's as different though shouldn't be as much of
a pro. I was in school and you were in
school practice.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, Chip Kelly moved into the morning on the West
coast and everybody followed. Suit USC does it too, and
they complained about the nine am kick at Illinois, and
it's like, you guys are practice every day. Every day.
You check your phone at like nine thirty, ten o'clock.
You get us he practice stuff because they're out there right.
The Bruins three game winning streak has been entertaining and
(20:08):
inspiring this month, but the party will continue in Bloomington.
Not much no parties coming to a screeching halt in
a season and a half in Indiana, Kurtzignetti's teams have
shown no mercy to lesser teams. It's great to see
the leadership from Nico Iamalayaba in UCLA's last second went
(20:29):
over Maryland last week with Deshaun Foster and Tinos and
Seri out of the picture. We've seen Nico flash that
five star talent, but Ferdie Mendoza will be the best
quarterback on the field Saturday, and the Hoosiers are playing
for higher stakes than the Bruins. If this was a
basketball game between these two hoop blue bloods, I'd be
taking Ucla definitely. But it's football, and I've got Indiana
(20:53):
minus the twenty four and a half. Ooh yes, black
black Whay Party's over number eight Old Miss six and
one at number thirteen, Oh Klahoma six and one, nine
o'clock on ABC. That's their big noon counter flack Flack Lane.
(21:14):
Kiffin brings his high powered offense and the Palace on
the Prairie, and the Rebels will also be bringing their
portable basketball hoop to the sideline where they dunk.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
That'll be a Norman as well. Kiffin wanted to give
his players a way to celebrate scoring touchdowns and creating turnovers,
so instead of a turnover chain or a hat or
a turnover shotgun, the Rebels celebrate by slam dunking the football. Okay,
much like Don McLain tries to use our trash cans
as some kind of display of superior talent here at
(21:46):
the station, not fooling anybody.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Don Yeah, a.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Quarterback John Mattier, the engineer, had hand surgery in late September,
missed a game now in two games back. But Tier
has not found on the elite level he showed in
the first four games. The Rebels are coming off a
loss at Georgia. But if they beat Oklahoma. They finished
with four very winnable games in November, and how what
an eleven and one record in the SEC not guarantee
(22:14):
them a playoff? Bit it will for sure the wrong
team might be favored here. I expect some touchdowns and
some celebratory slam dunks on the Rebel sideline. I'm taking
punk Aslane Kiffin an old miss plus.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Four and a half black, I do plus four and
a half.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Number fifteen, Missou six and one at number ten, Vandy
six and one, twelve thirty ESPN Vandy two and a
half point favorite Vandy and Indiana. What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
This is the Andy coming up beating Lsules.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That's right. Eighteenth time Missouri and Vandy will meet on
the grid iron, but it's the first time they've played
with both schools being ranked. This showdown features a pair
of upwardly mobile coaches. A guy that Tim Kates has
interviewed on the radio before, Miszoo coach Eli Drinkwitz, better
known as Coach drink. He's an foc freend of Kates.
(23:13):
Yeah he is. After you talk to him on the phone,
he was like m I Z and he expected Kates
to say z ou. But Kate's was like, all right, coach,
thanks lot.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Coach had a great game.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He didn't say it. Vandy's coach Clark Lee, both being
mentioned for the open Penn State and Florida jobs. This
is Vandy's first game as a top ten team since
nineteen forty seven, seventy eight years.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Wow, isn't Game day gonna be there too?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I guess yes. And Pavey's mom, who's a lot of pressure,
hot blooded Latina. I believe Vandy is a team of
destiny with Diego Pavia and his mom leading the charge
in his sixth year, He's leading the charge for the doors.
That's what they call him for. Sorry, Coach drank better
(24:03):
luck on the coaching carousel. I'm taking Verity minus two
and a half anchor down doors? What number eleven BYU
seven and zero at Iowa State five and two twelve
thirty on Fox, Clones two and a half point faves.
I picked BYU to lose the Holy Warren probo last week,
and I'm wrong. I wouldn't have done it. I shouldn't
(24:25):
have done it. Didn't that game go overtime or no?
It was close, but no. BYU went to overtime with
Arizona the week before Dawn thanks for researching. Props to
freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeyer, who has played his way into
the National Freshman of the Year conversation. Now the Cougar's
hit the road to Ames, Iowa, where the Cyclones have
(24:45):
announced both banged up running backs Carson Hansen and Abu
Sama will be full doze. What makes this coaching matchup
interesting to me is the physical nature of both men.
Kalanie Sataki played starting fullback for four years at b
scored one career touchdown because he blocked on every play.
Matt Campbell was a decorated defensive end for D three
(25:07):
Powerhouse Mount Union. Both teams are a reflection of their coach.
I'm going with the chalk again. I've got the Clones
minus two and a half Black At some point he's
gonna play like a freshman. Number twenty three Illinois five
and two at Washington five and two, twelve thirty pm
(25:27):
on Fox. That is a game I am not calling.
Why not not assigned it? Sign me a game. The
Huskies are four and a half point favorite. After a
week performance in an armor, the Huskies face the biggest
game to date against the Alliani. The Dogs need to
bounce back if they want to finish in the upper
half of the Big ten standings. Illinois put up a
(25:50):
spirited fight against Ohio State before losing. Now they've had
a week off to refocus and get ready for their
final five games. The and I will be just as physical,
if not more physical, than Michigan was against U dub
last week. So I'm taking Illinois plus four and a half.
Take it Fish, what we're still going really? Number twenty
(26:14):
two Texas five and two at Mississippi State one o'clock
on the SEC Network. Horns are seven and a half
point favorites. Arch Manning in Texas have been relegated to
the SEC network tomorrow for the umpteenth time. My arch
Manning rant is as such. The young man came into
the season with three spring footballs and three fall camps,
(26:37):
all under Steve Sarkisian's systems supervision. Plus he started two
games in twenty twenty four. Check out the August Twitter
accounts of your favorite college football expert. Arch was a
Heisman front runner and the consensus number one pick in
the twenty twenty six NFL draft, but he's under delivered.
He's been really good against Sam Houston and San Jose
(27:01):
at home, of course, he has. He played well on
the Red River rivalry on a neutral field in Dallas,
but he struggled on the road like USC in the
Ohio State, Florida and Kentucky away games. He's completed fifty
two percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three picks,
and the team is one and two. If he was
a true freshman, we'd give him a pass, but he's
(27:22):
in his third year on the team. He looks confused
when he drops Back's not seeing the picture quickly. Mississippi
State was four and oh before losing three straight, but
the Tennessee loss was an overtime. In the Florida loss
was my two. This could be a breakout road performance
for Arch, but with the cow bells ringing, I'm taking
(27:43):
the Bulldogs plus seven and a half points flow flat.
Have you ever been to Stark, Vegas? I have not you. No.
Houston is six and one at Arizona State. We've been there, yes,
many times. Five and two five o'clock ESPN two Devils
(28:04):
seven and a half point faves. The Forks were up
across the Valley of the Sun last week versus ASU,
where they held off the biggest payroll in college sports,
the Texas Tech Red Ragers, without their quarterbacks. The Red
Raiders were without their quarterback twenty six to twenty two,
signature win for the Devils, who cannot afford to let
down against the Willie Fritz led Cougars. On Saturday, Houston
(28:27):
features a double barrel run game with Texas A and
M transfer Casey Weigman and Rice transfer Dean Conners exciting Whites.
ASU quarterback Sam Levitt has been battling a foot injury
for weeks, but he still threw for over three hundred
yards against the high priced Texas Tech d The Devils
will be without superstar receiver Jordan Tyson, who's been ruled
(28:50):
out with a bad hamstring. This should be a tight game,
but this does not well. I'm not trying to upset
the ASU mascot Sparky the Sun Devil. But I'm taking
Willie Fritz in Houston plus the seven and a half Wow.
Last week's off the menu prop was spot on. I
predicted another Power Fork coach would be fired over the weekend,
(29:13):
and Florida, which won its game over Mississippi State, still
can Billy Napier. I wonder if college basketball coaches will
be getting fired in December and January like the college
football happened so early this year in September and October.
This week's off the menu prop, I see the Dodgers
winning the World Series in five games over the Blue Jays.
(29:36):
They beat the Yankees in five last year, and they'll
beat Toronto in five this year.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Black. Thank you. Let's reset the picks, Dawn. My favorites
this week are Indiana, Vandy, and Iowa State minus the points.
My underdog picks Old miss Illinois, Mississippi State, and Houston
all plus the points. That's fruit in those ways. Everybody
enjoy the games, and that is the college football whip.
(30:04):
Coming up next on a segment that you will love
that you may have never heard of. It's called only
Kate's cares, which means just by title alone, it precludes
your interest. That's right, and we'll be right back with more.

(31:13):
the new Angels manager, signed a one year deal. Gotta
feel pretty good about that. Yeah, did you ask about
that big vote of confidence? Coach stayed away from the
former Blue Jay and Dodger. The great Sean Green was on.
That was that was cool? Derek Carr, former Raiders quarterback.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
What does he have to do with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
He's a huge Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
He's going to Game four, by the way, so he's
coming back down for the game. So we saw him
at Dodgers Stadium like two months.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
He's also Matt's least favorite NFL player in the last
twenty years, Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Matt's attacked him
for years because he was the Raiders quarterback. The to
why because when the Chargers are losing, you got to
find somebody else to attack. We'll see if they win
tonight live on KFI. Enjoy the game, Des fruits and
las wuego. All right, El fuego. It is now time
(32:03):
done for a segment that is not new but rarely
used for obvious reasons. Uh. Tim Kates is feeling himself.
He's got Scam going three weeks. That thing is up
and run, doing a great job. Scam's, you know, kind
of like the sprunt. It's kind of like the spruce goose.
You know, it's huge, but it's hard to get it
off the ground, right, you know what I mean. And
(32:24):
now he's got it flying. He's got that monstrosity flying
for three weeks and gaining momentum. Buck Martinez yesterday, Derek
Carr who and Suzuki today didn't even need vassay today,
rest your voice, Fassay your loser. I mean, he's really
kicking ass. So this is these are stories that Kate's
a masses had like the span of a couple of days. Well, yeah,
(32:45):
it's called only Kates, but let me tell you, these
are stories that Kate's are masses that we don't care about, Like, hey,
you want to do this story and we're just now,
what are we doing? You know, just ignore him?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
How have I been doing the show for twenty years
and I've never heard about this?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I don't know, maybe you're not the list. It's called
what Only Kate's Cares?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And now for a segment that I've already lost interest
in before this open is finished, Only Cakes.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Welcome, dog, You're made in voyage here for Only Kate's Cares.
Thanks for having me, Absolutely, You're always welcome. Please come
back anytime Tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Really, he's kind of a reluctant guest. Being held hostage
is all you're saying. Well, he's just kind of like,
what is tomorrow night? Big night?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I'm keeping an open mind. I have a feeling I
might be interested in some of this.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Okay, I think you will. Don Petros probably not, but
you Yes. Tomorrow's Game one of the World Series Clippers
and Action Lakers and Action by Tomorrow Night. Also here
in Southern California, the ninetieth edition of the East LA
Classic Oh Mike Garrett, Yes, Got Garfield versus Roosevelt High
(33:54):
School and high school football.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Garrett and the guy from the Black Eyed Peas Where
I Am.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
A sold out crowd is expected at East LA College
for the seven thirty kickoff game. DJ Mustard will be
part of the halftime festivities. I know you're a big
Mustard fan. Don never heard of him. He's very tangy.
Now Garfield is on the verge of winning the Eastern League.
They're six and two, five and zero in league. Roosevelt
is four and four, but don't look now. They have
(34:19):
won three straight and they're three and one in the league.
After switching to everybody's favorite offense, the double wing attack.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
That walks in the city.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Undisciplined linebacker Eric Sinheimer points out on his Twitter yesterday,
don't expect a lot of passing in this game. Both
teams will run the football. We could see up to
seventy carries between the two teams tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
In the East LA Classic, Mike Garrett went to Roosevelt
by the way.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Oh yeah, you're gonna have to try again, Tim, I'm
not really all that.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Mike Carrot's a very first Heisman Trophy winner in the
history of the city of Los Angeles. That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Maybe this will get you not playing in the game.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Well no, but you know that's I think about when
I think about it. And you know who loves the
East LA Classic is will I Am from the uh
He first went to.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Palace sad It's high school. Remember he performed at SOFI
Stadium when they play. Was it last year or two
years ago? Will i Am was out there as part
of the halftime festivities. But the game is now back
at East LA College. Here's another one for you. Don
Maybe you care about this.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Jelitu Cina, but of jelly Tue reena bud of jelly Tae.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Everybody loves peanut, butter and jelly.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yesterday I was at.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Trader Joe's checking out and Trader Joe's had a box
in the frozen section of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
cutting a circle. Oh uh oh, they're not uncrustables. They're
Trader Joe's brand peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And the
lady at the checkout said, do you hear about this?
(35:49):
I said, nope, She goes. Trader Joe's is being sued
by smut. They are over their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
They said, trademark infringement in unfair common poti.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Making a peanut butter jelly is.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Right based on the constables are very unique and it's
not a real like regular sandwich. It's a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich cut in the circle.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yeah, but in a freeze, didn't they smuckers.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
The look they say is theirs.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
The packaging and the way peanut butter and jelly's written
they say is theirs. But that whole space saucer look
circlar with like.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
This feels like, you know, the the Utah hockey team
wanted to name themselves the Yetties and Yetti the cup
was like, you can't do that. They're like, it's a
it's a mythical monster, Like we can't do that and
they couldn't do it. I think it's ps brother.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Yeah Smuckers by the way, says you can't do this
because we've been selling in this space since two thousand,
so it's not like they've had the market for one
hundred years.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Or do they care about if you care about that.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I think it's kind of an interesting story. The only reason,
the only reason I don't care about it, and this
is breaking news because I've never said this on the show. Okay,
I am not a big fan of peanut butter and jelly.
What what I'm not?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
I don't know, never happened.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Not even peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
What if we switched it up like peanut butter and
strawberry jelly or grape jelly.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Just never been a big fan.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Okay, Well, sorry, they didn't go over. Well, Oscar de
la Joya went to Garfield. You're still on that, Petros,
We're way ahead.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah, we're talking p B and Jay Dude.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Come on, man, here's another one one more for you guys,
in case you care. One more Game one of the
World Series is tomorrow night. William is from East La.
But it looks like they sent him to West LA
for high school because of the music. That makes sense,
but he still celebrates the East LA class. Tickets for
Game one of the World Series and the Rogers Center
are going for over one thousand dollars to sit up
(37:49):
in the nosebleeds there in Toronto. In Toronto, there's a
way you can see Game one or Game two without
having to buy a ticket.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
You know how the hotel, the hotel the one that
those two people were having sex and that the whole
place was. We've all seen that.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Take the Toronto Marriott City Center hotel has rooms limited,
but rooms still available with a views still available of
the field. How are they still available as of I
don't know. An hour ago there was a couple left.
Really you could.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Get a room for nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Whoa what if you're a Bonfoy member, you know Continental
Breakfast and the nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
That's a great question.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
I may remember a bond butt the price does go
down by like seventy five dollars.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Oh yeah, actually it's cheaper by about seventy five eighty
dollars if you're a member of Marriott.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
The guys you get eighty off of nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
The guys from Los Lobos went to Garfield. Good to know.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
A couple of them, two double beds and a view
of the baseball stadium. Eighty eight hundred dollars plus tax
one king bed. If you're the baseball stay, it would
be pretty awesome. But eighty eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Let's type in Don's bonvoy number and see if it
goes down, like you know at the market when you
give him your phone number and you see how much
it goes down.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Now, the one that I was looking at earlier was
a sweet like a junior suite.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
They call it the Large Room.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
It basically had a pull out couch and a couple
of beds in like a little kitchen area, like a
nice hotel room.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
That one's gone. That was near ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
It would be awesome though, to watch a game in
a hotel room. Yeah, it would be pretty whatever you
want to do in the hotel room while you're watching
the game.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Now, it comes with four high chair four high chairs
that you could use to sit in, but you can't
hear the game because there's soundproof windows. You turn on
the TV ten thousand dollars to turn the TV on.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
No, but I'm watching the game live and then I
hear the sound on TV.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Now apparently according to Steve Sacks, I think he was
there recently with the a's. You can't from the field
look up and see in anymore. They've darkened the windows.
You can see out perfectly fine I'm talking about, but
the windows are darkened looking up out there. So you
got nine g's plus tax, and if you're a Marriott
Rewards member, you get it for about eighty seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
What are you going to do for the other three
and a half hours of the games? After your two
minute chops? Wait, what are you guys talking about?
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Would we wouldn't even be through the first out of
the top one. There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I guess you should a room service. I don't know
what you want to jeez. Very so it was a
swinging a whiff on the Now. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
I like the I like the hotel room.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Okay, the peanter burn and jelly sandwich story was that
a swing. I talked to the people, and Trader Joe's said,
well listen, I mean, I didn't google the story. It
came to me.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
The story came to me Trader Joe's employees have a
weird vibe.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Dude. Kevin, the manager of the Burbank Trader Joe's, is
a big listener. I have to say, I'm not saying
they're weird. I'm just saying it's a weird vibe. And there.
Oh yeah, real crunchy, groovinge crunchy, and I wouldn't be
surprised if they just go in the back and start
rapping each other. Yeah, you're right. Go in there and
ask for a soda, lay down on the granola, Molly,
go in there and ask for a cocher sprite. Do
(41:13):
their reaction cocher like what? We don't carry that stuff here.
We got probiotic sodas, So if you want that, we
have Doctor Brown's. It's ten times more expensive, same amount
of calories. All right, we'll be back with more Petro Sabney.
A whole other hour, a great sports talk. I got
a fun fact that's about Canada, much more interesting than
(41:34):
what we just did.
