We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with

favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on

Trip all summer with LA Sports. I'm sorry, Tim, last
time I plugged it in wrong and I was reprimanded.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Why is Tim so dressed up today?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Well, that's a good question. Stop the show? Would you?
Thank you? Ronnie? Sorry about that. I know Ronnie does
not like stopping the show. It's like mid coitus for him.
That's right, but he'll do it if you ask nicely. Uh, Tim,
Tim Kates is wearing a nineties like you know, it's interesting.
Don A while back, Sweet James, who's always very so
(00:47):
gracious and kind to me, bought me a TV. A TV, yeah,
like one of those frame TVs. I kind of forget
that it's there. You know. Usually I have some like art,
you know, because of my depth. Rightly, I have like
an art piece or something.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Most people do until they're watching something.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right, but I don't like I'd never watch it, even
though it's there and it's huge and it's beautiful. I
use the Westinghouse that was also free. That's over to
the left of it.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You put that TV up yourself, of course.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Not put anything that nice. I wish I could. I
wish I would. I wish I could do that so
I could fix all the stuff around my house. But
I that I can't that. I just stare at me
Ineptley now and anyway, or I watch the computer. You know,
that's right in front of me. The TV's directly behind me.
But I don't know what happened. Somebody sat on a
button or something, and the TV behind me has been
(01:43):
playing NonStop twenty four hour Dawson's Creek Marathon. And I
got to say, as a young man in college when
it came out when I was at USC, we love
Dawson's Creek. Me and the other baseball players love some
dec and we love Katie Holmes, we love Michelle Williams.
(02:05):
And I got to say, Kate's has got a real
d Creek vibe today. Well, like, yeah, I didn't watch
the show. Like when Kate's came back here, Well, you
were playing in the NBA at that point. But when
Kate's came back here, you know, when the show was
starting and he was plugging in the machine because I
have no skill other than this, right, And some might
say that that's, you know, I'm a hack. Somebody even
(02:26):
tweeted that that it was a hack, and I was
a hack last night. Last night, somebody tweeted that, yeah,
because I made fun of Lincoln Riley complaining about USC schedule.
Oh that's the Dawson's Creek song. I'll turn it up, dude.
This is the intro and they're like on the beach
kind of a It was a real New England coastal vibe.
(02:51):
But in reality they shot it in North Carolina so
they could have more of the year to shoot. James Vanderbeek,
who I hear is struggling with a with cancer. Sad
to hear. Joshua Jackson is pacey. Who does this song?
It's Paula Cole. I wanted to say Amy Mann, but
(03:11):
it's not Amy Mann. It isn't Paula Cole, the same
chick that sings Where have all the Cowboys Gone? Yeah,
that's the same chick. And she goes you be aye,
you be old in that song. No, I'll go do
the dishes. Yeah, you don't have a beer? Pretty heavy
(03:32):
in the nineties, we listened to some pretty heavy stuff,
like all the white guys are singing along to Jeremy's
spoken in the Pearl Jam song and it's like about
a kid committing suicide. It's it's like, really, why is
that our song? Why don't we like why are we
all singing along with this? You know this song is
about your life withering away, you know, while your husband's
(03:52):
at war. Why does this have to be the theme
song for a bunch of high school kids in Hyanna's
Port or wherever the hell? Anyway, I've been watching Dawson's
Creek making me think a lot about myself.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So you'veen so you've been watching it on the loop,
just on mute.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But I just I just a way channel No, I
just I don't want to. I just I just mouthed
the gate staring at Dawson's Creek and remembering, you know,
and being like, oh, this is later. They must be
in college here look at this. And you know, one
thing I noticed is Dawson always has his chain out,
(04:32):
chain out, Like you think people just have their chain
out now, but in the nineties there's a lot of chain.
People had their chain out and not like a big
glimmery chain either but just like a rope channing. You know,
there was a lot of chain out beads. I had
a rope chain out silver. I don't know if it
was out, but I mean, you are a white guy
(04:52):
but also a basketball star.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Can we bring those back by the way as like
older guys?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The silver chain?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, I wear a chain. I always wear a chain.
I always wear my cross. It never comes off. And
every once in a while I'll lean over and move
around or something, and I noticed that my chain is out,
and I tucked that chain immediately because I think I
look like a douche. Like, oh my god, you look
like a douche. Do you know what I mean? I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I wouldn't think if if you're single chain with a
cross on it popped out, I would I wouldn't instantly
come to the conclusion that you're a douche.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But look at how it's out, Like God, I've never
heard this part of the song. This part of the
song really sucks. Am I wrong like that? I never
heard that.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't think I've explored the song this for far.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
After Well, you didn't watch the d Creek like I did, brother,
I didn't look it into a Petros.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You either have two b TV or Netflix just running
in your TV on the background.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I don't know whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
It runs just streaming on both services, so it's just
constantly going episode episode.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Sure, it's me TV.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
No, it's whatever's the whatever runs Dawson It's it's it's
like with it to me, I think it's it's some
program on the TV that will play you Dawson's Creek
over and over and over and it's the best. Like
I go to bed there in college, I wake up
there back in high school, and I'm never turning it off.
(06:21):
It's really great. And when I was in college and
I lived with baseball players, the only channel we got
on our TV was Channel five, So that's CW with
a dancing frog back then, yeah WB, and that you
know what, they had d Creek So it was what
wonderful thing.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And it sounds great, Pete.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But Kate's looks like he needs to take a walk
on the La River and think about how deep he
is with the outfit he's wearing today, Like you said, McLain,
like looks like he's going to meet like a girl
for lunch and like ya talk about what's.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Going Every time I come here, it's usually shorts Van,
let's meet in the quall pants on a collared shirt. Yeah,
what is going? Yeah, that's weird. My bad, Sorry, guys,
I know what it is. Got he's got cucos after
the show.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You think it's a night for Cooketown. You know what?
High school football night?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yep, high school football, then cuckos and you know Petros.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I think I noticed you and Tim are wearing similar
colored huge shirts.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We are.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We're both in the Michigan State Green.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Actually, I think mine's a darker hue than your. There's
a high school football game that we're going to locking
you out of high school. They're a hosting village in
the football.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Game, you are of a darker shoe. And then we're
going to doc cucos. Better bring a sweatshirt, Tim, you
ought that warm tonight?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
How about that? It's kind of cool out? Don Are
you going to just try to have your bare arms out?
Like Joe Manjack, I would not recommend that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
This might be the first time I've ever worn a
sweatshirt here.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Ever, Did you say Wolfman, Jack Pee, No, I said
Joe Man he's a wide receiver that plays with bare arms.
And you know, dog, I was gonna say, that's what
really looks comfy. Yeah, you say that to me a bit.
(08:13):
I can totally see Kate's meeting at the Quad and
trying to have like a conversation with like half Asian chick.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Close your eyes, Close your eyes. I'm welcome back to Dodgers,
not Dagon Dodgers. All right, I'm sorry we got to
start the show. I'm so I don't want to wait
for our lives to be over. Don There are ways
(08:50):
of spreading light, be the candle or the mirror that
receives it. Welcome to the show, everybody. It's the Interest
in Money Show. Flex back today because the Dodgers are
in Seattle. Even though it's a big game, big game tonight,
(09:13):
apparently they've already clinched, and some of the Dodgers we
were off yesterday, so there's a lot of fanfare since yesterday.
There's some from us. The Dodgers clinch the NL West,
they are the NL West champions. Way to go Doyers. Yeah,
big celebration last night. Oh you know, you know, you know,

and however, yeah, so it's like David Vassa in the
clubhouse getting champagned and screamed at and shirtless.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Clayton Kershaw's is body is changed over the years. It's
all kind of old hat around here, so to speak.
But that doesn't mean people don't appreciate the celebration. And
the reason there is a celebration for baseball especially is
because the long and grinding nature of the baseball season,
so they enjoy that. Seattle's had their celebration. They don't
(10:22):
make the playoffs every year. And now they're gonna play
the Dodgers tonight. What do we expect, Tim, Is this
just like a throwaway or are they gonna play zayre Hope?
I mean, who's playing and what's happening.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It's not a throwaway series. You're still gonna have Ima
she and Pitch tonight. He's gonna be a part of
the postseason and on Sunday You're still gonna have Clayton
Kershaw on his final ever start in the major leagues. Guys,
that's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
By the way, did you guys hear David Vasse yesterday?
And every year he does a great job, and every course,
every time they advance, they celebrate. He does a fantastic
job because the players all love him. But just listen
to this real quick with him, Clayton kersh off, very emotional.
Speaker 1 (11:01):

all of a sudden he realizes he's gonna miss everybody.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, here's the here's DV with Clayton Kershaw towards the
end of their two minutes together.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I know Skeen's had a great year and he rightfully
should win the sille Arm. But Yama's right there, if
not more, and uh, well going, he's on our team.

our own as the show continues. It is a Frogman Friday.

celebrate prog Man. The Sea Frogman are friends that keep
us safe from the Sea Lifeguard and Coast Guard the
Pacific Ocean, where down the Plain would go over the
(12:34):
mountains and arrive at Zooma beach as a young man,
and that's right, swim out past the breakers, watch the
world die. We also celebrate the great Mike Nelson character
played by Lloyd Bridges and one of the greatest television
shows ever produced. Right off the coast of Branch of
Palis parties at the marine land of the Pacific Sea Hunt.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Suddenly an actor came crashing down from topside. Listen lely
by isshes. A man in the anchor line rended me playfully,
it wasn't funny. Underwater is no place for practical jokes.
And if I could have talked, I'd have chewed them
out right there.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Come down to pipe done.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So I'm preparing, but not really preparing yet. I feel
like I'm prepared in broad strokes. It we'll get more finite.
We we'll only a week or two require broad strokes
for you to day. Okay, Yeah, I'm going to Big
Ten Media Day on October ninth.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I know what you can watch on the plane, what
Little Dawson's Creek where is that don Chicago, Chicago. Well,
that's not Dawson's Creek, is what's going on?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (16:11):
No, it is.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
That was thirty years ago, Petros.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's a hell of a show, okay, and it's in
the news now and it's been on in my house.
That's that's where of all the cowboys gone. You be
oh yep be yep be, oh yep be. We listen
to a lot of weird music, you know, back in
the nineties. Yeah, you know like that. Uh, anyway, fine,
(16:39):
nobody wants to have any foe with Dawson's Creek. Five.
I feel like we already did no whatever, just an
exciting time. The one thing I did notice is how
crooked Katie Holmes. His face is crooked house Like. She
has the most weirdest, most crookedest face, like sideways crooked
like her mouth and her eye, and she does like
a whole weird blinking thing like she was a real weirdo,
(17:02):
but in a very charming and disarming way and very attractive,
but a real crook face, like a real Maybe somebody
should look it up. Maybe she'd be like, wow, let
me check this out.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Maybe you know quiet she's been the last like fifteen
years since she well she had a split.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well she got you know, she should not have gotten
in a relationship with Cruise. They got married, right, and
then they had a baby, Siri Cruz. Cruse only loves himself. Okay,
that was not a good match for Katie Holmes. Twenty twelve,
they got divorced. We haven't seen her very much in
the less she had Siri Cruse, the baby, and then
(17:41):
you know, she was having sex with Jamie Fox for
many years. A lot of people didn't know that what
she was before Cruise no after and he was putting
his face all over her crooked face. Like see now
we're talking d Creek again. Yeah, that's all I wanted.
She was with Jamie Fox, Yes, sir, Well she probably.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Got paid by Cruz alimony and just why be in
the limelight anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You just order a dude to come and service you
service and crooked faith. Okay, Well, we're going to take
a break and then we're going to talk to Don
McClain all about what's important in the world.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yes, and what's important in the world.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Dawson's Creek and JJ Reddick getting a contract extension. Maybe
some Clipper controversy. Gonna be kind of hard to have
Clipper Media day behind the dark cloud of that tree
planting shell company.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I haven't heard anything about that in a few days.
I wonder, what's happening.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Do you think it's being buried deeper than no sfaratu
Adam Silver himself, double deeper, double depth. When Dawson's Creek
was made, you know, people did have more depth. I
think young people had more depth. They weren't going around
saying things like six seven you know, things that don't
make any sense. Well, they didn't have AI thinking for them.
(19:09):
That too a bunch of idiots. Dawson's Creek. They had dialogue,
they spoke, They were literary.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
How would you know you watch it with the sound off?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well now, but don't think I didn't watch every episode
with the sound on as a young man, deeply inspired.
I remember once hearing something on Dawson's Creek and be like,
that's good. I'm gonna use that and using it on
like my girlfriend and I got called out like you
got that from Dawson's Creek, and I was like, God, damn.
(19:43):
I wake up in the middle of the night and
still think about that one from time to time. It's
kind of embarrassing. She broke up with you because of it,
because you were unaree. They broke up with me like
thirty times. Took me about thirty times to recognize the pattern.
Twenty nine was a lit. I've had it. We'll be
(20:05):
right back and we'll pick the brain of Don McClain.
We'll have a college football whip around David Masse lessons
learned so much to come more on all the way
till five thirty Dodgers in Seattle tonight date. We've made
it even easier to take LA Sports with you this summer.
(20:27):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on the iHeartRadio using
Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all summer with
LA Sports. You know this is not going to help
us get to the NBA news. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Ronnie's got the fever now. I can't help it.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
This song is stuck in my head.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Ronnie knows if I need to exercise the demon real
emotional depth. That's what Ronnie understands like me. Katie Holmes
recently sparked dating rumors her co star from Dawson's Creek
Joshua Jackson. They dated on the show, and they dated
briefly during their Dawson's Creek time, but the word is
(21:10):
that they're just friends. In the intro to Dawson's Creek,
there's like a bunch of clips of them walking around
on the beach. But this song's about will your son
grow to know his father? Kind of weird, kind of
a heavy vibe, but that's how the nineties wear man,
big pants and a heavy vibe, and everybody had aids. Well,
(21:35):
we were told, don't you touch her. She's kissed like
three guys. She gotta have a fine. Don fine if
you don't want to play in anybody's reindeer games.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Of the.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Lakers have media Day on Monday, but they did a
Rob Polenka JJ Reddick media session. He's yeah and JJ
Reddick got a contract extension after his successful fifty and
thirty two debut season, though the terms were not disclosed.
(22:12):
He preached championship habits after consulting with Super Bowl winners
Sean McVeigh, Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick. That's gonna change everything, guys.
I talked to three football players and coaches. Why do
you hear what they said? He said he had two
(22:33):
productive meetings with Lebron James this offseason, saying the superstar
is in a great spot mentally.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Banja, Lanja, Lanja.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Here's what I think about coaching p and this isn't
specifically to JJ or the Lakers or anyone, But you're
at the mercy of your roster, Like you could be
the greatest coach of all time. But if your roster
isn't built to win a championship, then can you exceed expectations?
So what's the expectation of the Lakers this year? Is
(23:05):
it a championship? I don't think it is. But you
can also watch a team night in and night out
and see if there's culture there, if there's buying, if
there's guys playing for each other, playing to win. And
I think he's done that. But I don't think it's
fair to put on JJ Reddick like if the Lakers
don't win a championship, he's he's not a good coach.
(23:28):
And I was going to ask you about this because
I was thinking about this earlier. You know, in college
sports now, coaching is really you're at the mercy of
what resources you have. Yes, to a certain degree. You
could be the greatest coach ever. But if your school
doesn't provide the resources to get high level talent in
through NIL, then no one's ever going to know if
(23:49):
you're a great coach or not. And so I think
the point I'm trying to make is that I think
so much has put on the coach individually, but the
coach is at the mercy of his surroundings and as
ross and his salary cap and all those things that
we talk about. But I do think that JJ showed
last year a change in culture of the Lakers. They
(24:11):
just looked different last year. And even though you know,
whatever their expectation was, last year, it looked different. It
looked like there was way more buying than there had
been in the last three or four years. And I
think that's going to continue. But I don't think the
Lakers are a championship level roster right now. So I
think it's unfair to say if JJ doesn't win a championship,
(24:33):
he's not as good as a coach as maybe we
thought he was.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, here he is talking about what is the most
important thing, it seems to the most important component to
coaching in the NBA, which is appeasing your superstars. Here
he is on appeasing his superstars. The word I would
use would be share.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
I think in a team sport, you have no choice
but to share, share the basketball, share the spotlight. I
think all three of those guys have a ton of
respect for each other's skill sets and in each other's abilities.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
One of the takeaways I met with Sean McVay in May,
a few weeks after the season ended and spent the
whole day with the Rams, and I got about three
hours along with Sean, and we were picking each other's
brains and it was very helpful. One of the takeaways
from that was was utility place. You know, that's something
that is a football term, and I think every basketball
(25:30):
team has those utility plays. And so it's the utility
plays or plays where all three of those guys feel
involved in some capacity and they're sharing the court together.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Interesting. I'd never heard of put that way, but that's
been ever since they made the trade for Luca. We
all wondered, how was it going to work. Lebron's been
ball dominant, Luca's been ball dominant, So maybe JJ Reddick
is smart enough in those guys are are ready to
buy in and share, like he said, to where you
(26:03):
can run an offense that involves not only those two
but everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What about Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Austin Reeves too, but he's not his ball dominant in
the past as Lebron and Luke have been. He's a
good player, really good player, but he doesn't need the
ball in his hands to be effective like Lebron and
Luke have been their entire career.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
But if they had a big three, Reeves is the
third the third man like Orson Wells.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, I don't. I don't look at it that way.
Look I just said it. Reeves is a very very
good player, but I don't put him in the same
category as Luke and Lebron. No, not even close.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
How do you balance out JJ Reddick's performance as a coach.
He kind of tweaked out in the playoffs last year?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But is that him or the or the Rossel?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Remember, you know he played all those little guys. He
wouldn't play the big guys. They kind of got he
yelled at the media out But they're big guys were
no good fair enough, they weren't. So how does that
translate to this year. I think a contract extension in
the future, the futura.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I think this. I think this barometer will show if
JJ Reddick can really coach, because there has been going
back to when I covered him at Arizona, there's been
a lot of questions about DeAndre Ayton's motor, his love
for the game. Does he play hard every night? If
JJ Reddick can get the most out of DeAndre Ayton,
(27:27):
that will tell you how good of a coach JJ
Reddick is. If he can get DeAndre Ayton to play
at the level that everybody expects him to because of
the measurables and the talent, then that'll be really doing something.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Lebron James is still there, but they have Luka Doncic
and obviously they did what any franchise would do that
has a guy like Luka Doncic in it, unless it's Dallas.
Sign him up for a long term deal. Make sure
he gets in shape, make it about him first time
he's been in shape. Yeah, make him feel good about himself.
Take him to the back Street Boys concert. All that
(28:02):
they've done, all that, So what does it mean for
them and Lebron James going forward? You think it seems
like they're giving them all the reverence, leaving it wide open.
But it also seems like they've made it very clear
what their future is and what it has to be.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Well, you have to because you don't know Lebron. Look,
Lebron ain't gonna play for seven years. I mean it
sounds to me, I don't know anything, but it sounds
to me like this year might be as last, and
I you know, next year is probably as last. That's
I've kind of read in between the lines. That's what
I've gathered. But I think JJ Reddick has found a
(28:39):
way to appeal to both those guys in coexisting and
like he was saying that clip we just heard, that's
the most important thing. But to me, again, you mentioned
them playing small in the playoffs. Now, they didn't have
any big guys last year, at least none that were
any good. They now have one if they get him
(29:00):
to play at a high level. I do think the
Lakers are in the mix in the West.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
How do the Clippers avoid they have their media day
on Monday and Plaia how do they? I mean, I
don't know if the players care, or if it matters,
or how this kind of stuff is interpreted. I mean,
I remember being in a football program where stuff was
happening on the outside and there were rumors and this
and that, and I could tell you how it affected
(29:27):
the team. Basketball teams are smaller, older, a lot more
money involved. How do they go about having a normal
media day and a normal camp with this whole Steve Balmer,
Kawhi Leonard Inspire whatever it is tree planting controversy going.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
On, Well, I have a feeling they will defer it
to the league office and their investigation and all that
stuff that they won't answer any questions directly obviously in
terms of how does it affect the team. He's done
two interviews, you know, I mean internally though, Yeah, but
there's been more that's come out, and like this, it's
not until Adam Silver comes out and says they did
(30:06):
nothing wrong, let's move on, then it's still going to
be hanging over their head. I don't think it'll affect
the team on a day to day basis that much
unless they start hearing whispers that there might be some
real consequences and are the consequences going to affect this
year or does it affect later years? Draft picks, money,
whatever it is, and so we don't know that, and
(30:27):
we'll wait to hear if anything's going to come of that.
But it's unfortunate because this Clipper team has the best
chance to win the whole thing. Ever, like this team
I think is set up and built to have the
best chance to win an NBA title. So you hope
if you're a Clipper fan that this doesn't derail anything.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
If you're Adam Silver and you get a shot at
truth serum and you have to answer something, honestly, I
think if you asked him, what, who's the last owner
you would ever want to have to punish that you
have in the NBA, it would probably be Steve Balmer.
I mean, he built you this stadium that is state
(31:13):
of the art and blueprint for what NBA stadiums or
NBA arenas are supposed to look like and be like
going forward. He's richer than any other owner maybe in
all of sports, maybe him and the guy that owns
the Golden State Warriors. And he's an exuberant, exciting owner
(31:34):
who's right out front, and he doesn't put his foot
in his mouth over and over again like Mark Cuban
who was out in front but ended up pissing off
a lot of people at alienating a lot of people.
Bomber doesn't do that, even though he is involved in
politics and his wife is heavily involved in politics, and
this could be when it all comes out, heavily involved
(31:54):
in politics. But this would probably be the last guy
right that Silver would want to have to deal with.
And how does that affect what will happen. I don't
think they're going to do anything.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Well, I was thinking as you were talking about, thinking
of all the other owners and the other buildings in
the NBA, and you're right, I mean, Balmer is the
last guy. I don't if history tells us anything, pe,
I doubt that they're going to find anything. If anything,
it'll be very you know, the penalties will be small,
(32:28):
like inconsequential. And that's the thing, Like you find Steve
Balmer five million, it's like finding me and you fifty bucks,
you know, like really I need that money.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And so I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Where this is going to go. Pablo Torre made it
fantastic case for himself in all the facts that he presented,
but I just don't feel I just don't know if
there's going to be followed through. The NBA doesn't want this. No,
they don't want this at all.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It reminds me of the NC DOUBLEA for years and
years in years. It's not like the ends and now
still which is totally toothless. It's not like the NC
double A has got like the FBI, like a whole
field of investigators that want to go out and investigate you.
They don't want to know anything about anybody. It's the
it's media companies like Torre or Yahoo, which the Reggie
(33:20):
Bush stuff. They're the ones that go out and on
earth things and then begrudgingly the NC double A would
go out and investigate and ask you to do, you know,
to self report and say here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna have a bulband for ourselves.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
This and that.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
The NBA doesn't want to invest investigate this.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
No, no, And so again that's why I said, if
history tells us anything, there's probably not going to be
much of if anything that comes out of this, it's.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Good to know we live in a world of double standards.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, yeah, well we don't know if it's true. But
I've always subscribed to the theory p that where there's
smoke there's fire experience with that, and there's got to
be a little bit of fire there.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Gotta be enough to roast some wienies. We'll be right
back with a very well a volatile woman who look
at your rundown, Michelle. You the Queen of the Horses
from Santa A Nita.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Oh yeah, they're.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Opening up and she wants to come in on and
promote it. But mostly she wants to come on and
be difficult and snarky.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Really right up my alley.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Uh oh, oh, don't worry, Michelle. I get I get
that a lot did. Nobody knows who the basketball player is,
but they know who the singer.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
But this Don McLain was also a lonely teenage broncn
buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck. If
that's I love it any consolation, all right? Tell us
about the racing this time of year, Michelle. I know
that you get all riled up, and you get very excited,
and you you get goosebumps and and your skin is
electric because the racing begins get at Santa Anita after
(37:01):
a long hiatus.
Speaker 9 (37:03):
Not only that, but I'm so excited because today it
is overcast but still warm, so I am so happy
because I hate to be hot. It's wonderful. This is
a perfect day to come racing. I'm really keyed up
for the upcoming meat. Like you mentioned, we're back in
the saddle after the summer away, and tomorrow is going
to be a fantastic day of racing. First plos at
(37:24):
one o'clock. We got the Breeders Cup Challenge races like
you mentioned, and they are win and you're in events
for horse racing super Bowl, which we call the Breeders Cup.
We've got the Goodwood Cup, which is for the Breeders
Cup Classic, and we have a Breeders Cup winner in
there in full Serrano, who is my top pick for
the day. We've also got Johanna's coming back trying to
get in to the Breeders Cup mile on the turf.
(37:46):
He was second last year. We have straight No Chaser
coming in and we haven't seen since his Dubai bust,
although he did win in Saudi and he's last year's
Breeders Sprint winner. So we have so many good horses
this weekend. If you want to see good horse, this
is the time to come. Plus, if you're like me
and you like to dress up, We're having an English
pub on the apron. It's going to be Goodwood Saturday,
(38:08):
so you dress up like you're going to the races
in Europe, which means fancy hats, nice dresses. We've got
an English tribute band. We're gonna have fish and chips, beers,
gin and cocktails, all kinds of good stuff. So tomorrow
is the day to come for you.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Guys.
Speaker 9 (38:22):
I feel like it's a little too fancy for you,
but you might want to come in October and we
have August you want like a morning suit in a
top hat.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I was an English and American literature major.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Yes, boodles quote mean Bronte and I'll believe you.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Emily Bronte or Charlotte Bronte.
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Oh, you know what, that was good enough? You don't
you have to go from there. Also, just so you
guys know, I've never wanted Creek stupid. It's not cultured.
It's different. You could be very smart and still like
not read Shakespeare.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
You want to know how smart I am? Michelle. Since
I don't have a lot to add to this conversation,
I had a pick six at del Mar fifteen years ago.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
That is more than I have said. No job, I
love it.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
There you go, I love it.
Speaker 9 (39:12):
I love it. Also, the end of the month is
one of my favorite days of the meat. We got
Japan Family Day and that is October twenty fi twenty six.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Wait, so if you're Japanese Family Day, you're Japanese in
your single, you don't you don't get to come? Like,
how does that work?
Speaker 4 (39:27):
No?
Speaker 9 (39:28):
You cause you can come and make a family. Then
you just find everybody that you'd like to be a part. Yeah,
it's really great. So we do this in conjunction with
our sister racecourse over in Japan, and it's so much fun.
We have like the best foods like the line to
get the ramen is an hour wait, but it's worth it.
We've got face painting and calligraphy, and we have all
(39:48):
kinds of shows. We have the Dragon Dancers come out,
We do soak tastings. It is super, super fun. It's
honestly one of my favorite days of the meat.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Well, Michelle, we absolutely adore talking to you, and we're
excited to get back out. I know we do a
show there every year. I'm not sure if it's I
don't know. Tim Kates will tell us though, and we
will come and we will have a shot of liquor
with you. Everybody brings liquor.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Kind of liquor.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Well, I know that you drink the Crown, that's right.
Yeah for me, if I'm drinking a Canadian whiskey, it's
Canadian Club just because I hate myself that much. But
we we really do appreciate you joining us and uh
and enjoy that English that English shepherd's pie or whatever you.
Speaker 9 (40:31):
Guys are going to have gone, will you guys? Do
you guys should wear a morning suit or a top
hat tomorrow? We can't come out and send me a
picture I'm.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Going to wear Yes, I'll look like one of those
drawings up there. I think that's Irish real caricature. All right, well,
we love you, Michelle, have a great day.
Speaker 9 (40:46):
Thank you guys. Hope you get to come out for
this amazing meat.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Every Friday opening day, September twenty sixth, free Fridays, all day,
happy hour, free admission, parking, and fifty percent off select cocktails,
beers and wine. And forget the Breeders' Cup Challenge weekend
and the Goodwood English Pub celebration where Michelle U will
be in some kind of throwback garb.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Forgive my ignorance, Pete, but what's the difference between a
morning suit and a regular suit?
Speaker 1 (41:20):
I think it would look like a little bit more
like you were out walking on the moors, you know,
kind of like maybe some high boots, perhaps a vest.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Morning suit's got the long tails in the back, Like,
who has a morning suit?
Speaker 1 (41:36):
None of us?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:38):
She was trying to make us feel and sound SI stupid. Yeah,
but I'm used to that. I remember I was. I
was with a friend of mine who was like a
smart guy, and we were somewhere and there was like
some smarty art chick that he was talking to and
she was like, you know, we're like fifteen. I'm not stupid.
I look stupid. I act stupid. And she was reading
(42:01):
Lord of the Flies and she was like, you'd like
this Petros. It's got like blood and there's like heads
on sticks. And my friend was like, you think he's stupid.
And I was like, yeah, you dumb ass. I'm not stupid,
you dumb ass. I know all about everything. Oh you
showed her. Yeah it's pretty hot too. That's a you know,
(42:22):
I got the Michelle on the Who's Charlotte and Emily Bronte?
Please one or both? Both those women died early, but
one of them died because she was drinking water that
was coming off a cemetery runoff. Oh right, that's all
I can think about when I hear about the Brontes.
I thought she was going to go with Jane Austen,
which is a lot easier. The truth is, Michelle, you
(42:45):
doesn't know anything about English literature. I bet she's not
even read a P. D. James book. I haven't either,
word numbers, Song of the Day. She didn't know anything
about Dawson's Creek.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
What did she say about that?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
I don't never watch an episode of Dustin's ky. It's like, well, fine,
I'm not coming to English Pub Day. Yes, swatted kareem.
That's what you get for trying that skyhowk on?
Speaker 8 (43:18):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
When Don McClean tries to shoot a piece of paper
into the trash and I block it, that means I've
month the best month of my life. O'donna's so you're not.
Don's not been that pissed since Todd Marinom had swatted
him back in eye school. You
