Prog Man It is a Frogman Friday and the Petrosit

And on a Frogman Friday, Petrason Money Show sentiments the
greatness of the Pacific Ocean and those that protect us
from it, Lifeguards, Coast Guards, Harbord Patrol, the US Navy Frogmen.
Did I mention lifeguards? Lifeguards? They do a great job Frogmen.

(01:55):
We also play great homage to the one and only
Lloyd Bridges who've played a great character Undersea Mercenary Mike
Nelson and one of our favorite television shows ever produced
about seventy five years old.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Now Sea hunts with tanks of compressed air strapped to
his back. Man has a new found ability to penetrate
the four fifths of his world that consists of water.
He does it for fun, for exploration, and for work.
Dave Norfolk did it for work for a career. He

(02:30):
was an underwater maintenance man for twenty miles of submarine
cable armed with a compact induction device. He checked his
cable for wear and tear, for corrosion and decay, and
then Dave Norfolk met his dead on the job. Dave

(02:53):
died at the hands of two other men who had
learned to live under water and to kill underwater.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
They were no.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
Scars, no wounds to testify to what happened. They simply
turned off the valve that delivered air to Dave Norfolk
and watched him drown helpless.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Tough way to go.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
That's a real tough way to got very detailed.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
We were gonna try to get Billy Zane to read
this for us, but he left with his wallet, chain
and white jeans and went down the hall to another interview.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Ted bub can you stay for one more shirts? Go
to commercials. See you later, guys.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
We're gonna play Dodger Pa Man Todd Lights. What are
you nuts? We still gotta take that Florida man. You
know what that's like these days.

Speaker 7 (03:44):
You got the Navy everywhere, You got frogmen, you got
the EC two's with the satellite tracking, you got the
bell two nine of salt choppers up the ass. We're
losing one out of every nine loads. That's no dunk
walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money. What
do you suggest that's reasonable?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Dieter role Dodger. Oregon is gonna play frog Man Friday
and see that today.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Oiliers Bulliers, Blier's Biers to.

Speaker 2 (04:28):

Speaker 8 (04:37):
Bire diar doar dire.

Speaker 9 (04:41):
You.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Oh yeah, fire diar dire.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
B You know you you you know, you know, you
know you.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Good luck to the Dodgers, good luck to everybody involved.
Thank you everybody. It's pretty great week. We're very happy
to be here in the world of great sports talk,
Great sports talk.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Don McLean, our bff, will join us in the very
next segment.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Matt, we'll talk basketball. The Lakers lost.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
I don't know if you noticed, but didn't cover an
officials talk after the game. Yeah, got a little ugly
there late. You know, game was tight, they wanted that
and one that didn't happen, and then all of it.
You know, it was just kind of the last straw.
You know, the camel's back.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
But you can't take it. I've taken so much.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
I can't have a white guy dumping thirty one in
after the worst outing of his life and you know
that guy's getting yelled at by a bald officially short.
You know you just can't do that.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, you know what, I don't think we should make
it about race. I think way too many people are
talking about race when it comes to the series and
it's running the series.

Speaker 8 (05:53):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Don McClain, a white man, will join us in the
very next segment, and then David Vassey, who's ambiguously white,
will join us in the four o'clock hour. We will
talk to Dave about he's at Dodger Stadium and there's
some breaking news out there, right Tim, I think some
things have happened.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
When it comes to the Yawyers, well, it all started
with the Ontario Tower Buzzers tweeting out that tomorrow Blake
Snell is no longer having a rehab start there.

Speaker 10 (06:22):
He was scheduled to start against the Ram who told the.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Tower Buzzers that they could talk out of school like that.

Speaker 10 (06:27):
Yeah, don't talk on to buzz.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
String your freaking fans along and let them be disappointed
once you announce after they're at the ballpark that Blake, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
That cheeseburger castro is gonna get.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Cold instead of pitching in front of five thousand. He's
gonna be pitching in front of fifty five thousand people
tomorrow night. So Blake Snell is reportedly gonna be the
starting pitcher tomorrow night, his first start since coming off
the injured list.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
He's producer run shows. I'll see I's ninety six k
so we will have the latest there from David Vasse
in the next hour from Dodger Stadium. As the Braves
are in town and the big pitching matchups and all
the stuff going on, we are right right on top

(07:14):
of that.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Something interesting, Matt. You might find it interesting, you might not.
Sometimes may be good. Sometimes maybe it But.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I think it goes without saying that there's one of
us that is super interested in hockey this year the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, and I think it's I think a little surprising.
Jim Kates is all in the Kates of all the teams.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
He loves these ducks.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
He's been a big duck guy.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
He loves these Ducks.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
And this goes back months.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
He's been trying to make it happen for quite some
time now.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Tonight it's a special night in the Kates household because
I happen to know that Logan Everett, the young running
back from Village Christian, is going to take out one
of the Kates daughters to dinner or something so she'll
be out of the house. And then Leslie Kates, the

(08:17):
matriarch of the Kates family, gun Girl Gifts, is going
to be out with some other moms in the area,
maybe to the black Angus.

Speaker 10 (08:28):
Fingers, crossed Denim and diamonds.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Ruby Gray, Kate's oldest is now married, living in Arizona
with the name of a comic book character. And then
the youngest Kates also has some kind of outing.

Speaker 10 (08:45):
She's going out with her friends involved in friendship.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
That means probably smoking cigarettes and drinking natty.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Oh, there's no doubt. Well, a lot of days the
kids vate. That leaves Tim Kates tonight, there's no he
doesn't have to do Dodger talk, he doesn't have to
do Dodgers clubhouse show. He doesn't have to hang around.

Speaker 10 (09:08):
Just a pregame till seven.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
That means.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Game three. Yeah, it's all noted the game to win
for the Ducks.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Is there a local Burbank bar where somebody wouldn't brand
now and we all know to know Tim does not
have a lot of friends, Like, he doesn't have a
guy he can call, Like I suppose he could call Ronnie?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
What about Jonas Knox? Didn't he give you a Christmas gift?
He did? He did?

Speaker 10 (09:37):
Are all close here? I think Ronnie and Jonas are
probably close.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I have a relationship outside of this show, but Kate's
Kate's doesn't really have like a friend to call and
be like, hey, I'm really into these ducks tonight and
we can be the part of this together. And we've

(10:02):
kind of been chopping up where he might go or
what he might do. There's not a lot of spots
in the bank to watch the docks. Well, it's not
like somebody's gonna like have the Laker game on. The
Lakers aren't playing.

Speaker 10 (10:14):
Yeah, but the Dodger game's going on.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Well yeah, but what about just like a straight sports bar,
Like don't you have a super Sports center? Ninety TVs
on the way, either BW three or something like that.

Speaker 10 (10:25):
Barney's Beanery Toys.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Have an idea, Jim, why don't you a lunch a
call up to our good friend Adam Osland And perhaps
I don't want to hang out.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
To Magnolia Orchid, right, down Magnolia.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Why don't you want to hang out with Adam the
former Tinhorn Flats?

Speaker 10 (10:41):
Well, it's Magnolia corner. Yes, I can get it. I
can get behind that.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Why don't you take Ronnie's advice?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, the last time I went out with Adam, last
time he went out with who Adam we hung out.

Speaker 10 (11:10):
He's got a nervous tick where he rips up and
tears about that.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
But he got over that.

Speaker 10 (11:16):
I haven't been out with him since that was six
years ago.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Quit drinking, he got in shape, he bought a bunch
of cats, and he no longer does that now. If
he doesn't drink anymore, I don't know why you'd want
to go hang.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
You know, he does drink, but he'll drink the the
the beer that has no alcohol, so.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
He'll have us again. He stopped drinking drinking alcohol Adams out.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
What I would do, Kates is I would put on
your best pair of acid washed jeans and hit up
the now Voyager and just roll the dice and s here.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
They're not going to be watching Kate's Wants volume.

Speaker 10 (11:52):
That was a great reference, by the way, from that Voyager.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean, hats off to you for now Woyarder reference
TEP place was awesome.

Speaker 10 (12:01):
I wish it were still there.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I want to go somewhere where you can hear the
the the announcers talk, hockey, talk, puck. Am I wrong?

Speaker 10 (12:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I don't want to just watch the barn where you
can see and when the Duck score, I want to
hear brow him in the background by Patty Wise. I
want to look to my left, my right and high
five other Duck fans.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
So I don't know if you're gonna find that in Burt.
I don't know if you're gonna find it in Anaheim.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I mean I don't have time to go down to
the OC though, because I am on the air till seven.

Speaker 10 (12:30):
Here's top the Buck at six thirty.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
You should go to the Barney's. I think Barney's you
can find some like minded dorks and get up on
the bar and do the Gordon Bombay speach. Get everybody
all lathered up, and Dodgers will be going and people
will be like, isn't that the voice of the Dodger
pregame show? And you can gee, damn right, it is.
Wow them. Here is Kate's Live later denied at Barney's.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
But guys, I've been there. I know how you feel.
I wanted to cream that jerk that busted my knee
when I played in the miners, and I really really
wanted to go after stancing for that cheap shot. But
you know what, my knee will heal. And if I
become someone I'm not, if I sink to their level,

(13:18):
well then I've lost more than my knee.

Ducks fly together when.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
The wind blows hard and the sky is black.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Docks fly together when the wishes are crowing on the couch.

Speaker 10 (15:20):
You're Latino, Hey, fool the Dodgers games on, move over?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh come on, dude, this is gonna be a special mind.
I want to reach out to our listeners in the
in the in the mouth of the valley down here
and say hey, hey, don't let Tim Kates do it alone.
You guys gotta love the Ducks too. I mean, somebody's
got to be into this, certainly not me or Matt.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Don't we have a stick. Don't we have a hockey
stick in the office. Take that with you and just
start tapping it, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
You going around tapping it round, tapping like you're gonna
have a face off.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Right.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Let people know you got the fever. Man, I got
the fever.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I know what's going on in you guys want to
fly together with me? Ducks flying together? I think I
don't want.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Tim to have to go about the Bejays that we
used to go to there in Burbank. They got a
bunch of TVs they do. It's that's an Iceland bar.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Teams is going down, so they're going.

Speaker 8 (16:16):
That's where you're going.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
See you in the ice Pompey Team Iceland is tough,
but we are a Team USA and we are going
all the way. I don't know, Matt, I don't know.
I just don't want Tim to be part of his
own lonely Hearts club, you know, I think he deserves better.
With all the Kate's girls out and about tonight, Look,
here's a guy that loves the Ducks and he's got nothing.
He's got nothing to show.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
I think everybody and I know what Kate's is going
through right now because everyone has been there. Many sports
fans that are listening right now that love great sports talk.

Speaker 10 (16:48):
Have gone to the bar great sports talk, and.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Every TV is on the Dodger game, and you're that's
You're that sap sitting at the end of the bar
with the one thirty two inch little piddley a TV
on the court.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
You put it on ESPNU. I went to Oklahoma State exactly.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
That's got the Okie State Kansas baseball game on and
no idea, whatever, dude, we'll put it on. It's on
the deuce. Here you go enjoy and everybody else is
screaming with what's going on on the other TVs. And
then all of a sudden, when it's quiet, you yelled.
Something great happen.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Place though, there has to be a Ducks play. I mean,
we're in Los Angeles.

Speaker 10 (17:23):
Well not in Burbank.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
It's all King's territory, but they people up here hate
the Ducks. My fallback is Phineas in downtown Burbank. Go
there by yourself once. Thanks for bringing that up, Petros
I did. I watched the national championship game on that
Monday night by myself as we were off early the
college football champion make any friends?

Speaker 10 (17:45):
No, I sat by myself and a little TC. Anybody
didn't talk the waiter. Maybe that was it.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
And when the Oregon score excuse me, uh, Indiana scored.
I looked around to high five some people. Nobody wanted
to high five. Everybody was watching something else or just
doing their own thing.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Were watching Gray's Anatomy. I heard that's a big Gray's Anatomy.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
I mean Spurs Timberwolves is gonna be going on at
the same time. Maybe that game is gonna be on
the TV and there'll be no Ducks against the Golden Knights.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I don't know what you feel bad about yourself if
you just went home.

Speaker 10 (18:14):
I mean that's like the old fallback.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
I guess just pete a crack a crack a beer
and you know, calling at night, call a pal to
come over and watch it with you.

Speaker 10 (18:23):
Who am I going to call?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
That's where that's where we Yeah, we got no friends.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
If I had a pal, I'd go out with him.
If you're about that What about that old woman who's
lives you saved. I saw her, uh today, we honked,
but that was about it. I think she's married happily.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
If you know what, though, if you were more tolerant
of Armenians, I think you'd have more friends. And I
think that's on you. You're right, you know, that's like
being I'm moving to Atlanta, but I hate black people.
It's like, okay, well, well.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
You're really kind of you know at bedcates not sleeping,
you're eliminating a lot of the a lot of the
fan base that you could be friends with.

Speaker 10 (18:58):
I mean, it is a little weird if I go
out there.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Did I to watch the game at a place in
like UFC fightings on and like it stared down because
I want to put the hockey game on.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
You're gonna be that guy exactly that asks to change
a channel to something that very few people are interested in.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Wat they're one hockey friendly bar in the whole mouth
of the valley.

Speaker 10 (19:16):
There's Champs Sports Bar or by North Hollywoy.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah hit Champs go to Champs still have it on?

Speaker 10 (19:22):
Probably not?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
What about that all women's sports bar that's saying, Oh,
we got one right up the street from me. Remember
the women's sports bar that was Remember we did the
commercial for Dodger Stadium right Silver Lake. Yeah, they just
played chick games. But I'm sure you can.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's kind of like the Ducks. I mean, what are
they going to put on, Kate, you got, like you said,
the Spurs Timberwolves thing is on Prime video, so they
got to have the Amazon Prime. I guess they probably
do now with the Thursday Night football and all that.
So yeah, I think you're right, that's gonna be on.
The Dodger game is gonna be on? Is it the
opening night of the WNBA tonight?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Sure?

Speaker 10 (19:58):
Put that onto?

Speaker 2 (20:01):

be my guy, my team.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
There you go, quite very impressive guy, Matt Steve's incredibly
he brought us some Rick and Morty stuff.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
I'm jealous. I'm not in the studio today. That's what
I get for staying.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I'll tweet out a picture of him with your with
your Rick and Morty skateboard deck.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Oh heck yeah, I'm a I'll eat the s out
of that thing.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
But a very h a very powerful mover and Shaker
works right down the hall and uh and by hall,
I mean all of the street at the wall at
the Warner Brothers studio.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Oh, we can walk there. We used to go to
the Captain a.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Bit of a solar plexus Ponchos like, so what do
you do? You know you work a storyboard?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Just what are you taking?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
A video?

Speaker 4 (22:52):
A YouTube?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Can? We'll be back with Donoy. God damn, I don't
even produce this show. We'll be back with Tom mclar deck.
This is Petro.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Send money on to Man Demandmandman Well, big breaking Dodger
news and we'll del deeply next hour with Dave Bassey.
Blake Snell scratched from his Tower Buzzer start tomorrow. Instead,
he will make his Dodger debut on the twenty twenty
six campaign tomorrow against the Braves. Braves tied for the

(23:34):
best record in the NL with the White Hot Cubs
and they are in town for three Chris Sale tonight
against them at Chan that is set tomorrow. It looks
like it's gonna be Blake Snell, So Dave, we'll get
into that when he joins us in about an hour.
And remember that means we are going until six tonight
when Dodgers on Deck will start.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
You know, it is hard to watch those NBA games,
whether you're written for the Lakers or you're rooting for Oka.
See just Lebron and Sega both laying on the ground,
convulsing like they're having a seizure, like they're actually hurt,
wasting time while the refs decide a flagrant.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, chet, Holmgren had a bad one last night too.
I mean it was like you took a freaking breadth
the hitman heart shopped to the neck.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Lebron's laying there holding his wrists.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Oh yeah, I show the replay. It's like, you know
they're going to show the replay, right, and he's watching
the replay like, I hope I landed on that arm
and not the other armors.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
I'm holding this ridicular Like when did it could become
like soccer? Like when did it become like a yeah
to lay there, Vadi?

Speaker 4 (24:39):
I mean, think about it. It was like Vade was
one of the Vade you know, was the first euro
sort of big man.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
I mean, I guess Smit's was there already, but you know,
Petrovitch played his balls off. He was tough, as name Petrovitch. Yeah,
I mean he was a badass, but Vlade was kind
of the guy, and it's it started with him and
it worked, and all these freaking people start to think
about it.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
There's not even is there a euro on the freaking
okc is dort No, well, I.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Mean there's a Canadian Shay Gilgis Alexander. Yeah, that's the
buzzy headed foreigner.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Felt like a referee Jubi Lee last night. There's no
doubt about that. And joining us to discuss it is
no want and only Don McLay. He is the leading
scorer in the history of u c l A N
the PAC twelve. He works at c AA, Big ten Network,
Pack twelve Network, FS one and Big Fox. The next

(25:42):
ass he kisses will be the first. And now that
we're in the NBA playoffs and there's all kinds of
officiating talking back, it is Don McClain on the Petroso
Money Show on AMPHI seventy LA Sports, on your Southern
California Toyota Dealers, Celebrity Hotline, the Baron of Bucks Kenyon,
what's cracking down?

Speaker 8 (26:02):
How are you hey? Sorry for the tardiness. We're transitioning
into the combine starting tomorrow, so we're trying to get
organized and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Don't worry, I had someone here. I had hot basketball
takes to fill the time. Don don't you worry about that.
It's great sports talk right earlier, great sports, don't I said,
I didn't like the referee jubilee. I don't like everybody
lays there writhing around like they're dying, like soccer, and
the referees go over to the thing. I want to
watch a basketball game. I don't want to watch this.

(26:34):
I was annoyed with the bogged down nature of the
game last watching replay, tired of lies.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
Well that that is a thing, by the way, and
even in college, and they've tried to clean it up.
But these you know, and look, there's some referees that
are better than others, but they get tricked by these
players with the body gyrations when there's any contact, and
they act to the contact and they call a foul

(27:02):
when it's really not a foul. There's an art to
selling fouls, and some guys are really good at it,
and they get to the foul line more than others.
And you know, I was reading this morning about what
Lebron said and what JJ Reddick said, and it's true,
like Lebron you know, really doesn't flop. He's been so
powerful and so explosive and so strong that he's never

(27:25):
had to do that. But he's probably along the way
in the last twenty whatever years, has left a lot
of free throws, you know, not gotten a lot of
free throws because he doesn't do it. And there's guys
that live on that stuff. So it's hard. Refereeing is
a hard job. I get it, but it's just it

(27:45):
is hard to watch. And I agree with you, Pete,
like I hate watching guys sell fouls and get to
the foul line when it's really not a foul.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Do you think I know you said you heard what
they had to say. Do you think they have a
case that last night? I mean, the and one was obvious.
You know how they didn't call that continuation for Lebron
was wild. I don't get that. And why the other
two officials can't overrule the guy that made the bad
call in the moment. But do you think the Thunder
got a lot more goes twenty six to twenty one

(28:14):
in free throws? Do you think they're getting more calls
this series? And do you think they have a legitimate gripe.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
I think they have a grive math, but I think
every team could have a gripe, you know, in not
getting calls or getting calls, or they have a couple
guys on their team that sell fouls more so they
get more calls. But let's be honest with no Jalen Williams,
the Lakers aren't winning this series. So whether you have
a gripe about the playoffs or about the officiating or not,

(28:45):
they're not winning the series. So even if the officiating
completely flipped in their favor, they're still not going to
win the series. I mean, they lost both games by
eighteen points. That's not they need. Had been different, we
would have won. There's there's no chance.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
The one and only Don McClain is our guest. He
knows what's going on in the world of basketball. Even
with that end one, perhaps the Lakers would not have
won last night. Uh, they would have covered and perhaps
maybe who knows, the great Don McClain.

Speaker 8 (29:19):
Right, right, you know what, that wouldn't be more important
to some.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
That's right, Matt. Matt was talking about it just a
second ago with shake Gil just Alexander. But what how
would you define like him as a player? What I mean,
obviously he's a great player. He's got great body control.
It looks like he could open his mouth wide enough
to swallow our our twenty five year old television here
in the in the studio. But what like, how would

(29:45):
you define him as a player? What's he like? He's
not like James Harden.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
What does he do?

Speaker 8 (29:51):
He really understands angles, he really understands defenses. His IQ
has gotten so much better over the years. Like, I
really liked him out of Kentucky. When I saw him
at Kentucky, I'm like, that guy's going to be a
really good pro. I never thought he'd be an MVP,
but I knew that he would be really good the size.
He's always played at his own pace, and that's important.

(30:15):
A lot of guys get sped up, a lot of
guys get physical, and they can't deal with it. He
has an answer for anything that the defense has. And
what he really understands is if I can get to
my spot, I'm going to score. There's so many guys
that really and we talk a lot about that this
time of year with the guys I have that it

(30:35):
takes a while to really understand, just get to a spot.
If I get there, there's a very good chance I'm
going to make that shot. And he doesn't care about
highlight plays, he doesn't care about getting to the rim,
he doesn't care about threes. He'll take all the twos
you'll give him, and he just lives off that. And
it's very unique and it's very unusual for a player

(30:59):
to not come But just understand that that I can
get thirty without shooting a lot of threes, when everybody
nowadays thinks I got to shoot a lot of threes
if I'm gonna get thirty.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Don are you? Like I get it's different for you
than for maybe the typical fan, like someone like me
that just likes watching basketball. Never thought I would really
kind of cheer on a Spurs team, you know, I
think about the the era of load management, and of
course they were rivals of the Lakers for quite a
while there. But it seems very easy to like this team.

(31:34):
And I don't know if that's Webbin Yama or if
it's just how young they are with Castle and the
rest of this roster. Would you agree with that, Like,
is there something about this Spurs team that you see
when you watch them. That just makes them incredibly likable.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
Well, for years, Matt and everyone talks about the Heat
culture because it's I guess more in vogue, but there's
been a Spurs culture for longer than the Heat culture.
And there's stories for years about how Tony Parker and
Jenobili and Duncan like, they don't miss practice. They don't
they didn't like, oh my knees hurting today, I'm not

(32:12):
going to go. No. Pop was like, we're practicing and
we're going to develop this way of we are playing.
We're available. If you really can't go, you don't go.
And I think it's still there because women, ya ma
ain't load managing. If you say that to him, he'll
tell you to half off. And so I think that's
still a thing in San Antonio that they built that

(32:33):
that level of competitive spirit. I guess that we don't
sit even in practice, and I think it's carried over
to these young guys. So yeah, I think in this
day and age of everyone not complaining, but I guess
complaining about guys taking time off and load management. I

(32:54):
can't play back to backs like the Spurs aren't about that,
And I think a lot of people, not just me
that's in the game, even just a regular fan I think,
really appreciates that in this climate they were in.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
So you got that Spurs team and like we said,
just stupid how young they are and how good they are,
and maybe that's the one team that can knock off
the Thunder. But with with Castle and Vissel and wembin
Yam and all these dudes that are in their early twenties,
and then you look at the Thunder and it just
seemed to it doesn't matter where they picked their guys,

(33:27):
you know, whether it's Mitchell and the second round or whatever, like,
it just feels like these two teams are going to
dominate this conference forever. And that then leads me to
look at the Clippers and Lakers and go, what the
hell can they do to try to put a dent
into those two rosters?

Speaker 8 (33:42):
And oh, by the way, the Thunder might get a
top five pick again after probably winning an NBA championship
again this year. I mean seriously, so yeah, like they
did it the right way, you know, and everything starts
at the top. You guys, know that in any sport,
any professional sport, college sport, if you got great leadership

(34:02):
and people that understand that Sam Presty's the best in
the game. He is. He just he gets it. He
understands the cap, he understands it all player evaluation, and
like Jalen Williams, the one that's hurt right now. There
was a story I heard last week about how because
we were talking about our guys playing five on five
at the Combine or not, and apparently Jalen Williams, you know,

(34:26):
from Santa Clara, he was projected as like a late
first rounder, decided to play five on five at the
Combine and killed it. And I think that year the
Thunder had like twelve and like twenty four something like that,
and they were planning on taking him at twenty four,
but because he played so well, they had to take
him at twelve. Well, it doesn't matter. The guy's an

(34:49):
All Star. So my point is that Presty really understands
player of evaluation and that's why they're probably going to
dominate for a long time.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Are you going to go to Chicago? Don?

Speaker 8 (35:00):
I am, I'm leaving Monday, fortunately or unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I'm going Chicago, had Don. What are you gonna do
out there?

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Don?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
I mean, you can't just basketball it up the whole time.
I mean, what are you gonna do? You take a
boat ride, go to a museum, eat a beef sandwich, beef.

Speaker 8 (35:21):
Oh, I will go to Gibson's because that's one of
my favorite spots in the country. I will go there
one night.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Some good people watching the bar.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
There got some good people watching in the bar.

Speaker 8 (35:31):
There.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
It gives it's done, that's for certain.

Speaker 8 (35:34):
Yeah, they're gonna be watching me.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Watch me eat this steak.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Good damn it. Good wine list at the Gibsons there done.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's one of the best.

Speaker 8 (35:44):
Did you Oh yeah, don't believe it.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Could I see your I p a list as well.
Thank you, I thank you Don. Nice shot to pop.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Thank you. Don have a great night, Don McClain and everybody.
Did he say the Lakers are gonna get swept? Is
that what he said? He said?

Speaker 4 (36:09):
Well, I think you just kind of said it's it's
impossible for them to win.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
So I guess that would mean that they're gonna get swept.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
You know, Luca gets some sort of magical vape and
it heals his hammy. Oh it makes a cotton candy
and nutmeg in that vape and all of a sudden
MOHAMMI feels great. Then maybe they got a shot.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Okay, special vape and maybe Chet Holmgren will get hurt.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Wait Nope. I feel like I went on to day Bender.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah. Yeah, he went pretty hard out there. Yeah, you
know the thing that you dip your jaw and any
any alcoholic beverages or anything.

Speaker 11 (38:48):
I didn't go hard at all. Now, I did pull
one all nighter, which was probably didn't sleep. There was
a huge Japanese fight that I'm like, hey, we're a
boxing can.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
A pool street fight like fight club. I'm going to
a basement like Japanese fighter.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
You and Sammy Long walking in Double Dragon.

Speaker 11 (39:10):
No, there was a super fight, the biggest fight in
Japanese history between pound for pound superstar. Now ya, the
Monster in no way not the same as al monstro No, okay,
but both very similar in their vicious knockout power. Monstrous
and djunto Big Bang Nakatani who fights out here in

(39:33):
southern California.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
What they did? Did that fight at four in the
morning or something? It was at four in the morning.
You gotta be kidding me. I'm right.

Speaker 11 (39:41):
Tokyo Dome fifty five thousand, the biggest, the fourth biggest
gate in boxing history.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
So you stayed up to watch that I did. And
so I was doing my.

Speaker 11 (39:52):
Dodger logs remotely what time we talking. It's probably started
those dodger logs.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Around midnight, okay.

Speaker 11 (40:00):
So I was kind of winding down with the idea that, okay,
I'm gonna try and pull an all nighter. And I
probably finished the dodge alongs around one thirty two, and.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Then a very Ronnie Fossil like story.

Speaker 11 (40:16):
Yeah, and then I was like, well, there's nothing else
to do, might as well turn on the undercard. The
undercart started at two forty and look what it did
to your hell.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
It messed me out.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
You blame that. You don't think you were like you
weren't running a craps table. And it was touching the
dice and then eating some pretzels and putting all those
germs in your mouth.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
It was the dice to the pretzels. Yes, what does
that ever happen?

Speaker 11 (40:38):
Was that it colin crafts tables. I stayed away from
the alcohol. I tried to get to bed all the
other days relatively early.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
But you stay up all night one night, it screws
up your health.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
It didne brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
We make it easy.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Tim Kates is looking to get out tonight and see
the ducks. Did you hear about that? I told him
he could stay here.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yeah, but that's not fun. You don't serve our food. Well,
he could order like Chipotle or something.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
You when he's drinking his I pa and I went
to Vegas. I didn't drink it all.

Speaker 11 (41:10):
I wouldn't judge him at all. He could have as
much booze here as he was. Tell Tim that I'll
be watching the ducks in my living room in Claremont.
He's welcome to come over and I will be bouncing
back and forth to the Dodgers. That sounds like a
good offer, Tim, but Claremont is it's not as far
as Montclair.

Speaker 10 (41:27):
Send me the guy's number. Maybe I'll take him up
on it.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
It'll only take you three hours to get there. Maybe
for the ninth inning. Yeah, ninth inning, in the very
end of the third period. It's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Heated rivalry really has Kate's juices going. Yeah, Kates has
a bone daddy for some sweaty dudes and pads. That's
why Kate's loves the Ducks, right, Kate's that's right. You
got me pretty excited about those ducks. Can you name
one player on that team?

Speaker 10 (41:54):
H Carlson with two s's carl Carlson Carlton with two asses?

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Huh yeah, Pee, I'm in too, Luca Lake, I'll have
Kates over give him my text Tole. So just tell
a cheap ass to bring beers. I'm not a low
price hole. Looks like that guy will he will let
you come over and violate his polo.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Yeah, that maybe it's a chick.

Speaker 3 (42:17):

him a boys' night out, Bindle Don Cucko's top of
the toilet seat.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
We'll do lines together. It's me one line, Jerry.

Speaker 8 (42:32):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
If Tim well, this is true, If Tim Kates was
less racist, he'd have more friends. But I think that
goes for all of us.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Speak for yourselves. I wouldn't have friends even if I
wasn't racist. Everybody hates me.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Well, they're talking, in fact, no, I'm ass talk back
on talkbacks.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
A response, you moron, Kates, this is King's country. Take
your sharks and your ducks and shove them.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Yeah, Kate's, you ain't gonna have no friends at that.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Bar Kate's put out the only Kate's care signal to
Barney's Magnolia, Finney's, Don Cucko's or wherever, and trust that
the petress and money white.
