Everybody freaking out, Get their hands on the game. One
Grand Slam, celebratory strike, a pose Freddie Freeman bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I mean it was a big moment, Matt, huge moment,
maybe one of the greatest moments in the history of baseball,
at least this century. To see Freddie Freeman holding up
that bat in triumph with the bad ankle, after everything
he'd been through over the year with his son Max
health problems. What a special moment.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And it is.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Cast in plastic forever for Dodger fans tonight. Is it
as popular as Shoe Aotani's bobblehead the other night?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
What should be? Perhaps it should be? And again they
give out only forty thousand of these.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So everyone in attendance will not get one. Stay in
the line unless there's forty unless there's.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Only thirty eight thousand coming in tonight at Dodger Stadium.
But that's probably not the case. We got a great
show today. We are looking forward to it. It is
a Frogman Friday, Frogman prog Man, let the waves carry

Speaker 4 (04:36):

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Oh you go here, oh you, oh you go.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
The Cubs are in town. But when I say go cubs,
I say I mean Loyola Cubs. We have a Loyola
Cub in the house. And Matt all the luminaries are
reaching out today. Alicia Delville right off the top, texting
about she sent me a picture of Freddie Freeman and
a T shirt and it says milf on it. It
says man, I love for it, Yes exactly, And then
(05:31):
she wrote that's clever. And then Alicia Deva wrote this,
The Queen of Wittier Worthy Girls are Prettier wrote this.
Pe Dave, I say said, everyone gets a babble hit tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I feel like Alicia's right in the room with me
when you read it like that, right, yeah, really do well.
She was with us the other day and the DJ. Yeah,
that bathtub we did.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We shared a dream, three straws now bathtub.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I'm going to go through this again. We've just done
this with the Otani said everybody gets it, and then
we said everybody gets it. Don't worry about that line
and they had to correct.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Eight one eight secret text us A line corrections and retractions,
corrections and retractions. Dave said on Rogan and Rodney that
everybody gets a bubblehead. Kates, how can this happen? This
is the second second, second bibblehead night in a row,
and there's already masked confusion. There's gonna be warning the streets,
(06:30):
there's gonna be violence in Echo Park.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Kate's is doing what we're all doing, and that's refreshing
the Dodgers social media feed to see if it says
every one of the first forty thousand, because.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
There's never a giveaway. Everyone like, there's never a giveaway
where everyone gets it. It's always capped at forty thousand.
This it's like the game starts at seventy ten. Everyone
knows that it's always capped at forty thousand. What are
these nuggets of misinformation coming from Dodger people like David
Vasse and Dodger social media.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
If it comes from David Vessey, I'm tempted to believe
it to be the truth. However, we just went through it. Well,
it says on the Dodgers social media feed everyone, Yeah,
that's wrong. This is like when it's it's still up.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't know. This is like when it's raining and
you look at your phone and it's raining on your
phone and it says on your phone that it's not
raining zero percent chance, and it's raining on you. This
is like that situation, same thing every bibblehead night. We
can't get it again, and we could blame That's why
it's a big deal. If anybody said you told me
to get out a line, does anybody send us a
(07:33):
bibblehead Matt? No.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
There was a time when we would get a box
of one of everything before the season started. We would
get the Dodgers promotional giveaway sampler and we could go
through it together.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It was like going to Deny and ordering the sampler,
the appetizer sampler. It was a greater time in our lives,
really was. You could sit there. Yes, Kate, I'm on
Dodgers dot com right now.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I clicked on tickets to buy a ticket for tonight's game,
which looks like there's only a limited amount out left
off at left hand, the left side is that the
reserve section.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Thanks to clarifying that.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
If you if you read it, it says contact us now.
He's trying to help us, Matt Freddie Freeman bubblehead first
forty thousand ticketed fans, maximum one giveaway item per person
per valid ticket see reading off the website.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And if all they have left is limited seats in
the upper left reserve area, yeah, leave us alone on
a lower than forty thousand people that have purchased tickets.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I heard David Vasy and he said that there is
good to be everybody in the stut. No, you were
giving misinformation. Forty thousand guys, So stay in line like
you regularly get between noon and three, just like all
the losers waiting in line at Coachella. Matt, you're a
Coachella Vetanano. What's going on out there? What's the problem
out there? Matt? Is everybody nightmare traffic on the ten?
(08:50):
But why is changed? Is a disaster on Friday before Coachella,
but no one can park. It's like people have been
there for days without being able to blow it out
or get any water. It's a mess in the street. Man,
It's like the grapes of wrath. Yes, the ghost of
Tom Joad is haunting these people, only worse, Only worse
than what they experienced in the dust bowl. What happens
out of the desert with kids who don't know how
(09:13):
to navigate an outdoor space. No, No, there's like a
problem this year. Now, there's like a thing somebody wanted. Josh,
what's going on? What the major issue is? It's not
like that one time Ralph Lawler got caught on the
ten and couldn't get here to call the Clipper game.
And that was a terrible night. Yes it was. That's
one of the worst to the history of Los Angeles.
Poorly Ralph, well, he the ten was cut off before Beaumont,
(09:34):
you know, he couldn't get around it. There was no
way for Ralph to get around it. He was like
cut up over man, he's right at the Flying Jay
and there was no way to get out. But it's
a bad situation right now in Coachella. I don't think
it's a bad situation at Dodger Stadium. Only if you
get in line and you don't receive the bobblehead. That's
that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I would rather err on the side of caution of
forty thousand, then everybody gets one. We aired on the
s I everybody gets one last time, and we were
uh well, people told us they were wildly disappointed at
us for telling them to get out of line.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, we'll have David Vasse for clarity at four forty five.
By then, of course, it could be too late. And
Don McClain is going to join us in the three
o'clock hour, one of the angriest men in the history
of sports. He's covering the clippers who are red hot,
and it's getting real tight. Matt down to stretch, real tight,
you know how tight tight as a Queen Latifa jumpsuit.
(10:31):
I would think she'd wear a more matronly outfit now,
you know, given her age and her size.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Started delivering that joke twenty five years ago, and I'm
not going to stop.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, I mean, Nicki Minaj has come in at Eva Longoria. Yeah,
Arihanna a Rihanna jumpsuit. You know that's also happened in
the past. But the point is it's a very very
Megan Trainer jumpsuit. It's all about that base. Do you
know that Megan Trainer has a dual toilet for her
(11:02):
husband and her to blow it out at the same
time because they she did say, very intimate as a couple.
It's like that Saturday Night Live Kevin Nelan Victoria Jackson
the love toilet. But it's real and Megan Traynor has
it so all about that bass. No trouble, so we
make that thunder more. We do have NBA talk and
(11:27):
sorting out all that stuff with Don McClain. Matt might
do something odd. I'm excited peace, everybody's excited about it.
But I don't think we have the right I don't
think we have the right angle on our show. I
mean i'd forgive me Matt, you know. I mean I
don't right angle for I just feel like for our
show because I was listening to another show yesterday. In fact,
(11:49):
last night I was in the shower.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Not only were you listening to it, you spread the news.
You spread the good news. Yeah, on that show you said, hey.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It was like Martin Luthor. Yes, you were saying, Look,
you don't have to spread the you have to whip
yourself in the back to be a Christian. You don't
have to pay off the Catholic church to pray. I
have a new way, and I spread the news. I believe.
I texted you after your long day of NFL boot camping.
I texted Tim Kats. I was on the iHeartRadio app
(12:17):
and I was listening to another radio show and how
they approached the coming playoffs right, because I mean it's
not This isn't rocket science. I mean, how many ways
are there to talk? I mean it's basically like you're
talking to your barber or like that Hartman drop. You
know what we should? I think the Lakers can win it?
You think the Laker? Yeah, well, Luca, well.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
You stepped in something there. I think we should do
a show. Instead of being in a station, we're in
a barber shop. Oh oh okay, well that's no we're
talking follow me here. You're trying to land us in court.
We're talking sports in a barber shop.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Great call.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What do you think of that? We'll call it the shot.
I'm gonna trade market.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
What I'm saying. Well, I was listening to another show.
Wasn't in a barber shop, It was right here in
this studio. Actually, was it three guys in one studio. No,
you know this, They were all at different studios, all three. Yeah, independently,
they were. They were. I'm just saying, so you're not
sure what somebody's doing in their life. I don't know
how we're going to approach this. Right, we're gonna bring
on Don McLain. We're gonna ask about the Lakers. He's
(13:19):
gonna answer. However, Yes, we're gonna bring on Don mcain.
We're gonna ask about the Clippers. They're gonna answer whatever
you want. But yesterday I heard a show take a
much different approach. They spoke for the better part of
an hour. Now follow me here, Matt. I am look,
I'm not you know. Look, I know you're a smart guy,
and I'm not trying to talk down to you. So
don't take it like that. You know, I don't act
(13:40):
like I'm telling you something you don't know. This is
for all of us. I am. You can go ahead
and make jokes all you want. I'm trying to improve
our show. Okay, what the Laker playoffs are gonna be?
Are they not gonna be? We are the Dodgers here
and it's a big thing, and we're your Dodger station
and that's where our bread is buttered. Very exciting. But
the Lakers, you know how we approach these Laker playoffs.
(14:04):
I think it's important, don't you. And we can't just
do it like the previous nineteen years we've been on
the air. This year's got to be different.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Okay, So what are you going to do that's different?
Or are you just suggesting we have to do something?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Let me just tell you what the other shoe did?
What did they do? They talked about for about forty minutes,
maybe forty five. They argued about who got a better
tribute video? Where and why? And who gets proper credit.
It was an unbelievable delegation of credit. It was like
(14:37):
pros and cons for credit, like Luca's video? Did Lebron
get a good enough video? Where? And then the subject
was so powerful Cleveland, Miami, Dallas, La, you name it,
it's worldwide. The subject was so powerful they tried to
change the subject on the show to something more comical,
(15:01):
you know, some Nico Harrison bs or something like that.
Why is he getting the blame? The topic was so
strong it just again like a hurricane just flew back
and knocked out the other topic, and they talked about
it for so long and it really seemed to get
everybody like they've covered it then, but everybody pretty riled up.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, I'm trying to say, you know, I think
it's important to talk about who deserves the most credit
when it comes to the Lakers maybe having success. And
we don't know if they will have success.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
But if they do, can't anybody independently assign credit where
they believe it belongs to. No, isn't that more of
an individual thing? Like, Hey, I think JJ Reddick deserves
the credit for the way he's coached the team up.
And then maybe somebody else will come in and say, yeah,
but I like the way Lebron led this team through
the peaks and valleys of in eighty two game. Then
someone else can come in and say, well, yeah, but
they really went next level when Luca arrived, and I
(15:53):
think all three could probably be right. Well, I mean
that would be okay, not something worth digging your heels
in and perhaps even exiting a show, because somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
There's that's alleged that anything like that would ever happen. Matt. Okay,
we got into that yesterday and I got peepy whacked
in a big way. I asked Ronnie a couple of questions.
Everybody's like, hey, you slow down, you slow down. You're
asking too many questions, and so I don't want to
say like that. All I'm saying, Matt, there's a different
(16:22):
way to approach it. Okay, we'll approach it. I'm just saying,
don't start looking at this like the Lakers might beat
this team in the playoffs or that team in the playoffs,
or the Lakers will be seated here there everywhere in
the playoffs. Think about it is who gets the proper
credit on the Lakers, Luca or Lebron and why? And
then think about the GMS, who gets the proper credit
(16:44):
as the GMS, Ron or Polinka, Rob Polenka or Nico
Harrison and why? And then the owners Genie Bussy saw
that too much time with this audio or that one
hundred year old lady in Dallas, and why? Who's an hour, Matt,
I spent an hour with the audio. That seems like
a long time. I believe it's the same amount of
(17:05):
time you spent. I had my thumb on that thirty second.
Of course you did, Matt. I had to oh, you're
you're you you rise.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
But look, I'm trying to improve our show and snarky
on the like thirty seconds ahead button. Okay, Like I
was right there. You want to be all snarky, bang
like bang like bang. You want to be snarky, I do,
and I'm trying to improve our show. Well, so I
guess we'll just Unfortunately, my top story covering the current
situations for running our two NBA teams in town will
likely not focus. I know who gets the credit in
(17:36):
which GM or Pseudo is most responsible for the arrival?
You just want to get doncic.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We're like a boat run aground with the engine just
dying out, spewing a bunch of bile into the air,
without really really exploring.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
With the lines of boat running aground is a good
thing that on board and you just lift it up,
And we're not exploring what the listeners really want to
get into, Matt, and that's mine. Do you understand I
feel like our show would suggest, Yes, we do explore
with the listeners.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Do you understand what I'm saying? The delegation of credit,
Like was it Pete Carroll's offense or was it Norm
Chow's offense back in those days. He deserves the credit.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I just don't care. I don't care. Are you saying
that I was wrongly inspired by the wrong show.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Well, I mean, I just don't care who should get
credit or not credit for a trade that happened. As
long as the team that I'm rooting for is successful
were playing well, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Who can get different If you think the way that
trade went down is the way you think it went down,
then you're delusional.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I did hear the word binary thrown out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
And someone said binary, you're not thinking about this in
a byinary. That's what it was.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
And I think it was the La Times reporter that
covers the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's what I'm trying to say. Guys, we got to
think outside of the books. Okay, we've been doing this
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, I think sometimes here's let me just let me
just finish with this, let me finish with this. Maybe
you're looking at it from the wrong side. You want
to you want to assign credit. I prefer to assign blame,
and I want to make sure the right people are
getting blame when failure occurs because far too many people
(19:11):
have received far too much blame for their failures, and
if this person should experience failure in the near future,
I expect him to get a lot of blame.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
That was part of their that's that was part of
their message. Part of their message was too much negativity.
You're going to and that's what that's what this is.
We can't have that negativity going on the play now.
I think the negativity flips to positivity because if we
can't bring this negativity into the bowling tournament, dude, because
there the next round robin.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
If the new White euro gets the blame, then at
least the blame is assigned evenly across Laker superstardom, and
then that would become equitable, as opposed to the current
situation where only one Laker superstar is routinely assigned blame
while the other seems to have been given a free
pass through the first twenty five games of his Laker career.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I don't think that's a buy andary reapproach. So I
appreciate that, but I'll say this work on multiple well,
you know what I want to say something too. Take
that three take tac toe from Atari I want to
say something smart too, Okay, because it's my show too,
and I want to say something that's impactful about this situation. Okay,
I'd like to say that right now. What would you
like to say? Say it? Are you ready for me
(20:21):
to say it? I think we've all been ready for
twenty seconds when it comes down to the Lakers versus whoever. Yeah,
I'm more interested in the Lakers versus the Lakers, Lebron
versus Luca. They're playing each other well in my in
(20:43):
my world of covering the world of sports, which is
rudimentary compared to some I'm looking at you. Every time
I looked at social media, they're celebrating Luka Doncic and
they're making fun of Lebron's That's not cool? Is that binary?
Is that equitable? This word binary? I'm not sure I
(21:07):
know what it means.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Mister, mister La Times reporter, I'm not sure I know
where you're going with that.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Maybe I'm the idiot here now I listen to the hour.
We're all idiots. Look, if everybody wants to bother me
about details when I'm a concept guy, that's not my fault.
We'll be back with Don McClain. He'll get to the
bottom of this basketball twister. Coming up next? Do we
(21:34):
embrace our guests? Not this one though.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Tomorrow and Sunday Tickets available at gp LB dot com.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
All right, Matt, joining us right now on your Southern
California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. The show's pff. The next
ass he kisses will be the first the leading score
in the history of the PAC twelve and beyond. The
NCAA tournament is over, but his work with CAA has
(22:13):
just begun. He works at Fan Neuel Big Ten Network,
FS one and the aforementioned. It is the snake Killer himself.
On the brink of the NBA playoffs, Don McClain, as
the Clippers are red hot and the Lakers finishing up
to what's cracking? Don? How are you?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
What's going on? Guys? Yeah? This coming down the home
stretch here. The regular season has been kind of fun,
like funner than it normally is in years past.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Did you think, I mean, we all knew that the
West was really good, but did you know that it
would be as Vic the Brick would say, tighter than
an Ava Longoria jumpsuit down the stretch?
Speaker 7 (22:57):
I mean, I don't think anybody expected this time because
I don't think we've ever seen it before. But it
speaks to the depth of the conference, and you know,
you never know if teams are trying to lose or
win to get certain matchups. But it will be fascinating
this weekend to see who plays and doesn't play for
certain teams to try and get those matchups.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Do you think that's a real thing this year done
to to get the seven and take the path of tooth.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Really well, I think that's what we talked about last week,
Like you're running the risk of a one game playoff
to get that seven seed. Anything could happen, but the
reward is you get the most the least experienced team
in the Western Conference in the first round. So it's
a dangerous game to play, but the risk reward I
think is pretty good. But again we'll see based on
(23:45):
who's playing. But the flip side of that, Matt is
Houston's in a position where they could try and maneuver
to who they're playing by winning or losing games. So
it's really really interesting stuff here late in the season.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, it's you know, you go be even if you
just look at the number one. If it's a one
eight matchup and that eight team is say, you know
the team that lost the seven eight first matchup in
the play in and it's Minnesota or it's Golden State,
Like that's not a walk in the park for Oklahoma City.
I mean, is there any do you think there's any
(24:19):
first round matchup if it lays out that way? Let's say,
and it's Clippers, Lakers, and it's Nuggets, whoever else that
would be. I can't remember who's in there right now,
but like, it doesn't seem like there's any bad matchup
that's we're gonna see in the first round. Oh, Grizzlies
would be the other one.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Yeah, And that's what I was just gonna say. Man,
Like the Grizzlies and the Nuggets, because they fired their coaches,
that like, to me, that could go either way. It
could galvanize them and they get real hot in the
playoffs and maybe win a series, or they're just done
and they and they lay down. So that that's something
to keep an eye. And I think if you ask
teams who would you want to play in the first round,
(24:55):
I think because they fired their coaches, you would probably
say the Grizzlies. Are the Nuggets?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Are we to believe the numbers. Sometimes the numbers make
sense and tell the stories. Sometimes they don't. The numbers
say that the Clippers have the best defense in basketball,
and over the last what is it, sixteen or eighteen games,
they have the second best net offense in basketball. Is
that what it looks like to you when you're watching it?
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Well, I've sat on our show on Wednesday night. I
think again, if you ask coaches in the West who
you don't want to play in the first round, I'd say,
I betch you most of them would say the Clippers
because Kawhi didn't play the first half of the year.
If Kawhi played the first half of the year, they
might be the two or three seed, or even maybe
the one seed. Who knows, but this is who is
the plan for Kawhi and the rest of the team
(25:40):
to be fully healthy and ready to go for the playoffs,
and so their record says there. Who you know, they
could finish four or five, sixty seven, whatever it is.
But I don't think anybody wants to play the Clippers
in the first round.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You know, we've talked so much over the years about
the clippers and their chances and how hot they can
get and if it's the right moment meant for them,
you know, the Chris, Paul, Blake, Griffin, Paul George Kawhi
and now and now this machination. Is this the most
running on all cylinders under Tylou that you've recognized them
(26:13):
being headed? Is this the best position they've been in
in a while since we've been doing this, don I mean,
we've been waiting for something to happen for a long time.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Yeah, it's a great point, Pee and I think so.
I'd have to probably think about it a little more,
But off the top of my head, it just feels different.
It feels like there's been less stuff this year and
less you know, comings and goings or whatever it is.
It just feels like this year the plan was executed,
that Kawhi didn't play for the first half or so,
and that he'd come back, and that everybody would be healthy,
(26:42):
they'd banaged the roster, they'd be in a good spot,
hopefully a top six seeds. So you're not in the
play in and it's all kind of laid out that way,
and I think we'll see what happens. It doesn't guarantee anything,
but I think you're right. I think this is the
best they've been set up heading to the playoffs, at
least far as I can remember.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
What about the numbers on the on the Lakers, don
you know they they had that like a month and
a half stretch where they had, you know, the best
defense in basketball was prior to Luca's arrival. But and
now you look at their big three. Is there a
better big three out there right now than Reeves, Luca
and Lebron the way they're they're playing, Like, what do
you see when you look at where they're at headed
into the postseason, Well.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
They're playing at a high level. I haven't watched them
a lot, but I think you could make the eye.
And I hate to say this because I do the show,
but I don't know. I'd probably put Kawhi, Harden and
Zoo up against those three right now with how well
they're playing. But you know, the whole thing for for
really for every team, but mostly for the Lakers, it's
going to come down to their defense. And let's not
(27:42):
forget that Lucas had problems in the playoffs and people
have targeted him and went at him and let's see
if that's not an issue this year, because if it's
not an issue, the Lakers have a really good chance
of going deep to the to the conference finals or
even the finals.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You don't think it's bad that they don't have any
big dudes.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
I mean a lot of people don't have big dudes.
The Rockets really don't have big dudes, and they're the
two seeds. We'll see. It'll depend on the matchup. Like
if you match up with the Clippers and you don't
have a big guy, it's probably a problem. I mean,
Zoo had a triple double against the Rockets the other night,
So I think it depends on who you're playing. But
these coaches are so good now about scheming and staggering
(28:22):
minutes and being able to play small. And that's the thing.
When you get to the playoffs, it could go one
of two ways. You either try and match up to
the team you're playing, or you make them match up
to you. I'm of the latter. I'm like, I'm running
my best unit out there. You figure out how to
guard us. I'm not going to change my lineups to
(28:42):
try and figure out how to guard you.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
If if we are lucky and fortunate enough to get
the first ever Lakers Clippers playoff showdown, do you think
it would be predominantly Kawhi on one of the big
two Luca or Lebron or do you think they would
or do you think Jeff Bandi and Tyler would would
rotate him and kind of spread it out, Like how
do you think they'd approach that?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Well, I'll say this that Chris Dunn is their best
on ball defender and he can guard multiple positions, like
he could handle not that anyone can handle, but he
could handle a guy like Lebron. He could handle a
guy like Luca who's a little bigger than him, just
because he's so strong. And so I think that's the
first one. Like who are you putting done on? I
would assume it would be Luca, and then Kawhia would
(29:26):
match up, probably with Lebron. It would be interesting to
see and I think a lot of people would be
would be fascinated by that. In Hugard to and in that.
But Van Gundy's been unbelievable this year for the Clippers,
and I'm sure he'll figure out a game plan if
in fact they do get the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
The one and only Don McLain. Here are the people
working hard this time of year. He's got all the
best basketball players in his gym and this draft getting
ready to go for c AA. So very busy time
of year for Don. When the College Basket all season ends,
we sure appreciate you coming on. Did you enjoy the
Final four down all four one seeds? It felt like
(30:07):
it was pretty cool, very competitive. A lot of people watched.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's unusual that all four one seeds,
but I think those were the four best teams, and
you know, they were really good games. I don't think
anyone's complaining about that. I think those of us that
are in the game and around it as much as
we are, and the portal has just become such a thing.
And NIL money and the money that they're thrown around
this year is staggering for NIL. But it's I guess
(30:33):
what I'm getting at is, with all that stuff going on,
it was great that they capped this year off with
a really good final four.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He's it like, I saw the Toppins going back to
Texas Tech and they nearly booted Florida.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Is that is that? Like?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Do you look at that and say, hey, that's a
good thing for nil because what would he have been
like a mid to like a mid second round guy,
and instead he goes back for a team that certainly
looked like they had a chance to win it all.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Let me, let me, let me tell you this, man. Yeah,
this is where it's gotten to. There are guys now
that are potential first rounders, not second rounders, first rounders
that are going back to school because of how much
funny it is. These are numbers that start with three
and four now, not one or two.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
So it's more lucrative to stay in school than to
be the twentieth Yeah, and.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
To be a first round pick wild Like, it's it's
insane what's going on right now. But you know what,
if the market will pay it, I'm sure these guys
will take it, and they are.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I'm just trying to get over the fact that mister
topham hat is on a basketball team at all. I know,
I didn't even know that. I thought he was working
the trains before we let you go, don How is
camp McClain going. You gave us a little glimpse into
it last week. Where are you guys at right now
with all your rookies.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Well, guys are trickling in. The guys that played in
the final four. Broom will be here on Wednesday, and
Procter and Flag will be later in the week next week,
I think. But yeah, they're trickling in. We got we
got seven guys here now, and I don't know what
we're getting to. It's gonna be a lot. It'll probably
be the most guys we've ever had, but it'll be fun.
(32:14):
It will be competitive, a lot of like we were
talking about earlier with matchups in the NBA, A lot
of a lot of opportunity for me to have guys
match up with different positions and styles, and so it'll
be fun. It'll be fun the next year five six weeks.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Any truth to the rumor that you've added a snow
cone break into Camp McLean a five minute snow cone
break in the morning session that was.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Talked about in the meeting, but we went with orange
slices and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Nice, very nice. Get this interesting. Come on, guys, get
the machine before we let you go.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Don I know you're probably pretty familiar with Tom Michigan
used their their big men. Your thoughts on a Dai
mara deciding that that's where he wanted to head to Well.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
First of all, Dusty May is a really good coach,
and I think I think I told you guys a story.
I had Danny Wolf last summer coming. He was going
from Yale to Michigan, and you know, I saw what
I saw for a couple of weeks in our gym,
and when I talked to Dusty, you know, when Danny
was heading that way and just how are you going
to use him? And he used him perfectly. I mean
Danny Wolf went from an IVY League center to the
(33:18):
to a first round pick this year because he had
such a good year and how Dusty used him. So
I'm not exactly sure how he'll use Mara, but I
did talk to him about him, and he just he
affects the game on both sides. And I just said
to Dusty his length is a problem on both ends.
And so however you can maximize his length and his size,
(33:41):
I'm sure he'll be really good for him.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
No snow cones, I mean seriously, hot car slices. Yeah,
but how could we lose that.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
I got an idea, if you come out and run
the snow cone machine, I will give a snowcone.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Break Cooper, you want the cherry red or the Coca
Cola flavor. I should just be dressed up like the
Good Humor man. Oh yeah, nice, hey boys. Snow Cone
man coming by to see you guys getting ready for
the NBA dress. All right, don we love you, thanks
(34:15):
for doing it. We know you're mith with the snow
cone math. Clearly I look like an alcoholic, but not
a meth head. Matt boy, Fellas, who's for snow cones?
That's what I'm gonna do, Camp McLean, snow cone guy,
get the VR camera ready for that? Adam, you up
(34:37):
and had a split flavor of Pani Colada flavor. I
brought the tiger's blood today.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Fellas.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Ah, we'll be back with a secret Texas oerdio around up.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
They tell you to Don McLean for joining us Spectro
saying money going until six pm because we got Dodgers
ubs coming up. It's Freddy Freeman bobblehead night. There are
conflicting reports. Everyone gets a Freddie Freeman bible head.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
When it comes to Dodger bobbleheads, forty thousand get a
bobble The misinformation is multifold.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
And we're the only show that focuses on the potential,
the truth, ye have the misinformation.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
We want to know how to cover things. We want
to do it right. We have a lot of listener
reaction here to the first hour. A big thank you
to Don McClain.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Like you said, Matt, brought to you by your so
called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
We make it easy.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Thank you. P.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I'm an architect and we did a home in Homeby
Hills with side by side toilets.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
It's a real thing. I think of all the potential
features possible in a home.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Or maybe you've never really been in love. I guess yeah,
I guess not. That'd be one.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
They've never been in love? A deal breaker like, hey,
I want to do this for the house.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Have you ever.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I wish?
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Have you ever?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Being love?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Before Coachella had a long wait for the campsites. My
buddy Phil said, eight to twelve hour wait the fire
festival all over again. Oh my god, bad scene at
the campsites. Guys, twelve hours to get in. P. My
brother and I used to watch Sea Hunt back in
(36:25):
the sixties when we were youngsters. We loved Lloyd Bridges
and then later we would strap on my mom's big
pointy sixty bras on backwards like scuba tanks and pretend
to swim around the yard fighting bad guys as undersea
mercenaries in the briny Pacific. Good times.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
This was only practice.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Aches Around the corner of time was a moment when
all little lessons would pay a dividend and liberty.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
What what are you talking about, Petros? Where did they
discuss the tribute videos in the NBA? Hey, I'm wasting
my time listening to you clowns. You're right, I took
a calculated risk in the first segment of this show
talking about what another show was talking about, and it
only draws interest in that other show. Oh so they
(37:15):
left us to listen. But I was asking an honest question.
Should we cover it in this way? If you listen
to the last hour of the Rogan and Rodney Show yesterday,
it brings up some very interesting points about how we
should do sports talk radio going forward in the NBA
playoffs Here in LA I believe that to be a
false statement. Then we're on opposite side of the spectrum,
and I don't know if I could do the show
(37:35):
for the rest of the day with you, I might
just fling my headphones off as if they're made of fire.
I'll cover for you and say that we have passion
on this show. I'm a passionate guy. That's okay, And
it's okay because I have a passion. Forty seven years
old and I have passion. You guys should do a
show in a barber shop, but call it clippers. Nobody's
(37:59):
ever done that. Now Here is where the misinformation Matt
is flowing, flowing like water. The Otani out of the
La Aqueduct. The Otani bobbleheads in May, August and September
are for everyone, but I think the others are status
quo babble life. See see that's doesn't that make it?
(38:19):
Doesn't that make it?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
That's misinformation, isn't it? Because they did the same thing
with the original Otani bobble head and said it was
for everyone.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
In the one two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yes, it said that it was for everyone, and then
they corrected themselves and said no, it's not, but they
never took it down.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
And Jim, it's for everyone, Jim, what was the only
show that had the right information? Where did the people
go for the right We were like Radio Free Europe,
John's mustache is long. John has a long mustache. We
were the ones with the information AM Radio Matt. That's
why we have to put him in Tesla's true. Everybody
(38:55):
should have the information that we have. If you don't
have the information on the petes of my show, you
might not get the buy You're gonna show up in
the third inning. No bibblehead for you. Your whole conversation
is non binary, and I don't even know what the
f that mean. If something is binary, that means there's
two things involved, like Lebron and Luca, two guys. If
(39:20):
something's non binary, that means they're one guy. Well, it's binary,
black guy with a Slovenian arm, like when you mix,
you know, like when you mix and match a g
I Joe guy. Like our black Matte Liner action figure
in our office, which is shot the Arizona Cardinals. Black
(39:40):
Matt Liner is one of the fine fine moments in
action figure history. I have no idea what you pull
smokers were arguing about in that first segment. Besides binary,
coked out Kate's not caring about any of it. Also,
I think the only trusted source about bibbleheads is Los
Mila Morris for shame, now no, for shame, lost Meala,
(40:05):
Now look it, I will give you this Los Mila Morris.
Do you know Los Mila Morris. They're the two Latina
chicks from East la Oh that come together and do
they do little skits like through Blue from the floor up,
essay true blue for you and then you know they
do that to Latina's. Los Mila Morris spends a lot
(40:27):
of time You really miss you there, you really are
really missing. Los Mila Morris spends a lot of time
in where they line up for bobbleheads, you know, doing
their videos outside the gate because they don't have tickets.
But I don't believe that they have the information, not
the information that the Petrosen Money Show has. We're the only.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Ones that were willing to pay attention to it and
call into account that it was misinformation.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Yeah, you did have to get in line, and we
have to hold strong. We have to keep our eyes
closed when they open the Ark of the Covenant while
the Nazis melt. We've got to look away and stick
to you the way, stick to the one thing. Capped
at forty thousand, it's always been capped at forty thousand.
They're not going to have the first pitch tonight at
seven fifteen. It's always seven to ten. They always cap
(41:15):
the bobbleheads, the sweatshirts, the giveaways at forty thousand, because
they take the other twenty thousand and they distribute it
to friends and family. All lawn Rosen's kids have all
of them a thousand apiece. Exactly right. We used to
be on that receiving list. No more. Those days are
over for us, Matt. The days of wine and roses
(41:35):
have ended. Now we're just drunks. God grant me the
serenity petros. I quit my job this week and called
my mom. She asked me why, and I straight up
said I can get fifty percent more in the portal.
I don't think that's how it works. Yeah, here's less
(41:57):
Mila mo this. Let's listen to that.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
Oh, how we doing in La and Heleno's root tea
to the stadia vesey sangres is looking stem is looking
tho scaring hot dogs. Not you, Celestadio vendelaida scan men
i losolo squerco wellneslas algotas.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Dnn do you understand nachos dogs? Maybe if you were
watching well, what they talk about nachos, they talk about
hot dogs, they talk about ricos, cholos, good looking cholos,
Mexican men and cholas that a Rica, good looking Mexican women.
Speaker 8 (42:40):
I'm like the Dodgers some all about the business.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Nice, all right, One more Matt, one more Las Milla
morees or we got we could do that for days.
One more we can stay out for we can stay out,
we can cover the whole. Well, you know what, let's
do one more, one more. I'm gonna double up. I'm
gonna do. We from Kelly.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
We're from Kelly in La. We like to party named everybody.
Don't forget June twenty eighth. We're gonna be in the
back of the day's super show.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Them where the back of the day's super show? Kate,
So was your dad calling for Los Mila Mornas tickets? No,
you have the mic on, dude, You're like, hello, one more,
one more, Hello, hold on, Dave, one of the mass.
Speaker 8 (43:31):
We are number one, nothing new, nothing. You don't need
another Dodger. Sure I got two of that too. You
so mad, You're so mad. It's the boys in Blue.
This is a leg We're the best. That's your cue.
That's your cue.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
We are number one, all right, that's your cue. That's
your cue. Who rites for them? Because I need that
guy here.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
I believe it's Soderbergh. That's what I've heard. Really, yes,
that's what I've been told to me. It seems more
like a Terrence Mallick, like an epic pee. The confusion
is very easy to decipher. I heard at the end
of Fred Rogan and there was no worry. Everybody that
(44:22):
is in attendance will receive a bobblehead. The simple decipher
actually is this. If you heard it on Fred's program,
you know it was misinformation as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Uh, you know. I do have to say. It does
bother me that we can't get this right.
Speaker 7 (44:37):
I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I have the answer.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (44:39):
That was That was part of the phone call that
I just received.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Who was it?
Speaker 6 (44:42):
It was Dave Wee, So, the VP of marketing, who
heard from his counterpart at the Dodgers, who handles all
the promotional giveaway perfect moving forward this season, all O
Tawny bobbleheads are for all fans and attendance. Every other
promotional giveaway, including tonight, is the first forty thousand in attendance.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
And that makes sense because you don't want people lining
up and freaking blocking the world for the Otani bibbleheads.
If you say everybody gets one and you only get one,
then you don't have to worry about the line. Nobody's
gonna line up.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Because the last one of the last one they blocked
the world. Yeah, blocked the whole world. And that's bad. Yeah,
it's terrible. The world can't stop one stop. It's like
Superman when Lois Lane came back to backwards man, I
want the world to stop. What are you doing today?
The world have blocked the world. So that wasn't misinformation
(45:41):
from the idiot listener. Otani's wide open now, but they
were still pushing the correct They lied about this, Yeah,
and that makes sense. They learned their lesson with the
forty thousand cap on the first Otani Bibblehead night. But
who orders the extra hundred thousand Otani bibbleheads or did
they already have them?
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I'm sorry, sweet niece, you won't be getting your extra
thousand Otani bobbleheads.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
If you guys get the gold teeth Freddy Freeman though, huh,
the gold teeth, gold teeth, The Easter Egg gold teeth
Freddy Freeman Tonight, that's the limited The best one is
that right? Well, His teeth are a prominent feature on
his bibbleheads gold or not they're fake. We'll be right
back with more petros and money word number song of
(46:29):
the Day coming up to deck.
