He's the under pressure.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Every damn night there was the threat of my d
you know what I mean. It's like, wow, he didn't
block that shot, but he certainly changed it.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Wow, A bunch of things must have gone wrong if
you're listening to this.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Not everything.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Are the retirement or true?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
What's next? The real loneliness is living amongst all these
kind people that only ask one to pretend. Pretty heavy, Yeah,

(01:27):
frog man fraud everybody tonight Dodgers had heavy load is
off their shoulders. They've clenched the West, and so have
the Mariners in the Al, rendering tonight useless. Yet you
can still listen and enjoy the game on m FI
seventy LA Sports all weekend long. We will have the
games and a gigantic thank you to the snake killer himself,

(01:52):
Don McClain, college and pro basketball analyst, mentor to the
U and I'm talking about the elite basketball youth of
the globe and overall, BFF to the Petros and Muddy
show your plans for the weekend, don.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Uh Speaking of mentoring youth, we have a couple of
players in town from the East Coast that have been
here for a few days that were getting indoctrinated into
the program. So I have a little bit of that,
and then after that some college football Ryder Cup, even
though the US team's getting their brains beat in right now.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
See if you can see Matt Smith in the background.
He told us yesterday I'm going to that all right.
It's been a great weekend, great sports talk. Even though
we were off yesterday, we had four very long productive
shows Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It's time for the
lessons learn.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Jim can't twitter about Town pitcher.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I guess he delivered a really sick Burns with no
concerns since we don't have Matt to do his Italian voice.
But all you have to do is say less than
one after Kate's does the Spanish lesson? Okay, see, yes
that's good.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Don lesson on Lexiono lesson one.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
We had Rob Dibble on because the Dodgers have so
many struggles in the bullpen and Rob Dibble was such
a great closer radio or Yeah, he's got a very
popular radio show on the East coast, and he was
actually in Cincinnati being honored with some teammates watching Paul
Sken's shove it on Hunter Green, who's another great pitcher

(03:37):
as well, and he had some great analysis about closers
and things of that nature and the.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Relief the Dods the class of the NL don't. Don't
sleep on the Brewers. They have much better pitching than
people think. But the Phillies are a bunch of blue
collar dudes. They want to fight. They are going to
battle you tooth and nail. So you've got you've got
very different teams. Padre padres, I think they're like a
sushi eating team. So those those are some guys that

(04:05):
you know they're they're like, oh, hey, man, look at us.
We won a playoff spot. Who cared, dude win win
a championship?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Would you? So?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
No, I think the Dodgers are going to be fighting,
And you know, I don't like the Dodgers. For me
to say that I love them, I love the Freddie Freemans,
the rookie Betts is. Dave Roberts. Couldn't be a nicer guy. Hey,
sometimes you gotta go out there and maybe fight somebody.
So that's the problem. They don't go to bars and
get in fights anymore.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Players need to go to bars and get in fights.
I agree, that's what That's what Rob Dibble says. The
Padres guys are too worried about being watched on social
media and they don't get drunk and go to bars
and get in fights anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
The Padres eat sushi.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
What about going to what about getting drunk going to
the sushi bar in getting in fights?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, no, no, no, that's a conflict. Lesson too, next
on those lesson too.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know, the Dodgers are battling it out with their
Arizona and whenever they're playing somebody from another market. Sometimes
you know, that's not the Dodgers, you know, one of
the great brands in the history of sports. You know,
we look up to see if they have theme songs
or anything like that, and we had some interesting ones
from Arizona. First, they have this one with like the

(05:18):
George of the Jungle drum. There comes the rattle, right,

(05:44):
that's pretty good. All right. Then we have this guy
who is the leader of the band the Refreshments, who
ended up doing the King of the Hill intro. You know,
this is their Arizona Diamondback songs. Yeah, three up and

(06:18):
then three down. That's how it works. Get the day,
say downtown to the stadium, and I think you say,
when you hit a whod oh it is you?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
We back the guy.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
That really liked this song? W w W come no,
what do you you don't like it?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I just think what I've realized is I don't like
team theme songs. Like those two songs didn't sound bad,
but wow, I don't know they're singing about a team,
go Arizona. I still think it's necessary. Does anyone get
fired up listening to the song?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I kind of was not the second one. I like
this one.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
A little lesson three, Lee, lesson three.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
There's a new sports bar that only plays check games
in silver Lake called un Tame spirit What games? Only
female sports games? Chicks on Chicks you mean on TV
with the sound and Tame Spirits is the first women's
sports bar in LA and it's just in time for
the WNBA Finals.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
I knew that people love women's sports in general, I
didn't realize that there was such a demand for it
that people literally just come here and hang out because
they love the vibes. You open this bar in silver
Lake so we have a space for people like us
to watch all the women's sports that get played on TV,

(08:06):
and especially with.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Sound, because we don't get to with sound.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
See a lot of that in any other bars that
we go to, and so we thought, live, why not,
let's let's do one for ourselves. So just love the
community and everyone that's come in here and really like
supported us and just like really come up to us
and say how grateful they are.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Come on, Don, what I mean, it's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
We're going over there. After we had Don McLain, Hey,
Liberty on get the liberty. Let's get a sound Up.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Put a lot of reaction on the Instagram post since
you guys talked about this a couple of days ago.
Oh yeah, yeah, here's here's a question. What is the
official closing date?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (08:48):
How many TVs do they have? Is my question? There's
a lot.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
There's a lot of sports, you know, women's soccer, women's
water polo with a butt cracks, a lot going on.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Lesson four, lexion quatro, less than for Barry Alvarez has
had it.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
He's had it with people booing Luke Fickle and camp Randall,
even though Wisconsin is five hundred to start the year
and they're not doing great.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Coach, what do you make of how fans have reacted here?

Speaker 4 (09:19):
I think it's embarrassing. I think it's terrible, despicable. They're spoiled, rotten. Uh,
here's a team that you get young players trying to
trying to come on, are competing, They're going to have
a chance to get better, and you flip on them
early in the season and you flip off you for real,

(09:40):
you're chanting for the coach.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
What do you think it makes How do you think
that makes the players feel? And that's that's point that's
that's just, that's disrespectful. It's it's not loyal.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
You're not a fan.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
If I'm that person sitting next to me, boom, I
don't get your ass out of here.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
We don't need you in here.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
You don't want to watch this, Go someplace else.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Go boom a bar, Go booing a bar. We don't
need you in here. You you don't want to watch this,
Go someplace else. Go booon a bar, Go booing a bar.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
You're right about one thing, pe he has had it.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Go booing a bar. Don if you want to boo
yea and that's just point. Sure ass that great point, coach.
Thank you, thanks guys, that's awesome, Thank you. Those are
the lessons learning great sports talk. A big thank you
to dog had playing for being here today. You booing

(10:41):
the games at a bar. The college football whipper out.
We don't need you in here. You don't you don't
want to watch this, Go someplace else. Go boom a bar. Yeah,
boo a a bar. We've made it even easier to
take la sports with you this summer. Make AM five
to seventy or your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast,

(11:04):
a preset on the iHeartRadio using Apple car Play or
Android Auto road Trip all summer with LA Sports. That
wildcard round, I'm not saying it will, but if it
ends in the wildcard round, people are gonna feel like,
for sure their breath. They're not gonna lose in the
wildcard round. Come on, pee, people are gonna feel like
their breath was caught short. All right, Well, you know,
maybe you can make some extra money for the family

(11:25):
by wagering on the college with wow yea all season down.
I've been pumping the Oklahoma Sooners and their new quarterback
Johnny Matteer, the transfer from Wazoo. He led the Sooners
to a victory over Auburn on Saturday, but on Tuesday,
Oklahoma announced his right hand was injured in the first

(11:46):
quarter of the game. He flew to La Wednesday to
have surgery on his right hand, because who's going to
do it in Oklahoma? Right right with tear tweeted on
Thursday that the surgery was a success. Sooners are currently
on a bye week. They announced that material miss Kent
State on October fourth. Okay, I think they're going to

(12:08):
be okay. There I'm guessing they'll be ready for Texas
on October eleventh. On Sunday, he was the betting favorite
to win the Heisman Trophy. This injury knocked him down
the board for now. The new Heisman betting favorite is
Fernando Mania, Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I met that kid at CAL a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Ferdi Mendoza, who left Cal and took the money and
ran to Bloomington, Indiana.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Last week, you mean Cal didn't have money to pay.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Him, right, Actually, I think Mendoza got mad because the
money that Cal was going to pay him they paid
to this Hawaiian quarterback that they brought over that's starting
there now, and Ferdi Mendoza felt passed over like the
old Testament. Last week, my picks were four and three overall.

(13:03):
Now I'm eleven and eight on the season.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Not bad.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
My three losses were brutal. I had Purdue plus twenty
four and a half. They lost by twenty six to
Notre Dame. I had Oregon thirty four and a half
minus thirty four and a half and they beat Oregon
State by thirty four. I had Nebraska plus two and
a half at home to Michigan, and Michigan won thirty
to twenty seven, another half point loss. Nonetheless, we move

(13:28):
on to this week's picks. Can't wait to hear them.
You sound exuberant, You really sound fat. Number twenty one.
Usc is four and oh at Illinois three and one
nine am on five. Usc is favored by six and
a half puntos on the road.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, it wasn't Illinois like a top ten team. Well yeah,
before last they got smoked by Indiana.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I wouldn't fifty three point long smoked would be putting it.
It was more of a sexual degradation. Big Nude was
expecting two ranked teams, but the Trojans are the only
ones with any kind of momentum. The fighting a line.
I got destroyed in Bloomington last Saturday, sixty three to

(14:14):
ten Illinois and Indiana. That's why Fernie Mendoza's getting all
that love. Illinois and Indiana were tied seven to seven
with five minutes left in the first corner. It looked
like a normal game, but the Hoosiers went on an
unprecedented fifty six to three run to curb stomp chief
Allioni Wicic. The final score was sixty three to ten
in Indiana and Red Grange rolled in his grave. So

(14:39):
how much luster is off the sc Alliani game A lot?
And one of the chances USC comes in complacent that
Illinois might be able to pull off an upset a lot.
We have no confirmation yet. At the university's health services
department sent over some grief counselors to speak to the
Allioni team and coach Bilma the Trojan It's come in

(15:00):
on cloud nine over four games. Quarterback Jade Miyama has
played four great games. McKay lemon is a star receiver,
Hannah Returner, and SE's other star wide out, Jacobe Lane
is expected to play after he didn't transversus Michigan State.
One reason the Hoosiers were able to beat down Illinois

(15:21):
is due to the injuries the Ilioni has suffered. Six
of their top seven defensive backs are out. It's a
major factor, especially against USC. A win at Memorial Stadium
is certain to move the Trojans into the top twenty
and three and one picking USC games this season, I'm
bravely taking the Trojans minus six and a half fight

(15:47):
fight all. He'll be there for big noon pre game.
Oh I can't wait till it's a double edged sword
for me because if usc wins, I win the pick.
If they lose, I get to get after Lincoln Riley
all week. Either way victory here, the UCLA is zering
three yur alma maters at Northwestern one in two twelve

(16:09):
thirty Big Ten Network wows for everybody thinks and a half.
Tim Skipper leads the Bruins and the Northwesterns converted soccer
field alongside Lake Michigan to coach his first game as
the UCLA interim head coach. UCLA should feel comforted numbers tomorrow.
Only twelve thousand fans showed up for the Oregan game

(16:29):
at Northwestern a couple of weeks ago, so the Bruins
should feel right at home. How many were at the
unlv game unlv A lot They was at Allegiant, so
oh yeah, I mean I think they filled the lower bowl.
Vegas shows up for the Rebels. Now the new Mexico
game number on the field, I expect the Bruins to

(16:53):
play with more focus, more passion. Quarterback Nico Iamalayama needs
to improve his level and become more of a team leader.
If these two teams met at Grant Park in Chicago.
Ucla would win on raw talent, So I will take
the Bruins with their new coach and more open attitude.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Wait, what was the line?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Six and a half plus six and a half? Arizona
bare down three and zero at Iowa State Go Clones
four and oh four o'clock ESPN Clones favored by six
and a half. No one expected the Cats to start

(17:35):
the season to have a good record. They're three and zero.
Take that, Brian Blackmore. Brent Brennan was on a hot
seat following last year's collapse. Some people were making fun
of his yellow corn like teeth. The Zona Zones were
sitting at three and one last season and win to
a free fall, losing seven of their last eight. But

(17:56):
Arizona couldn't fire the head coach, not in his first season.
So bravo to quarterback Noah Fafita and a survide for
sticking in there. He's thrown six touchdowns, ran for three
others zero picks. He's getting the ball out faster. He's
matured as a quarterback. They have a good offensive coordinator
in Daigi, and I like the way he's throwing the
ball away instead of taking sacks and taking sacks when

(18:19):
he can't throw it away. That's progress and kudos to
Brennan for re stalking the playmakers through the portal Zona's
top two running backs and top two receivers all transfers.
All that being said, this might be Matt Campbell's best
team in his ten years and Ames, I love rock
Obeck the quarterback. The Clones have a well defined identity

(18:40):
and a tough, physical team and a great home field.
Crowd of white people. Give me the sits minus six
and a half points. It's a white people say every
line six and a half this week. This one's not okay.
That disproves your statement. It's not what I d There

(19:01):
are a lot that are six and a half. You're
starting to see these games be a little bit more close. Yeah,
so they're less than a seven, a little bit more closer.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Hey, a few buddies.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Number seventeen, Alabama's two and one at number five, Georgia
three and zero four point thirty on ABC Dom's favored
by three and a half.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
There was discussions Pee about a month and a half
ago because our good friend's daughter goes to Georgia. Now
of me being at this game, oh for real. Yeah,
to be on the sideline with Kirby. I don't know
if I'd be on the sideline, but I'd be there.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Hey, kurb, this one's being played between the hedges and Athens, Georgia,
almost being played in front of the watchful eyes of
Don McClain. The biggest trend in this game is the
mood point. Kirby Smart has a one and six record
against Alabama, but of course, from all those games Nick
Saban was coaching the Tide. One thing going for Bama
is that junior quarterback Ty Simpson is clicking with the

(19:59):
offensive court Ryan Grubb. Simpson is completing over seventy percent
of his passes with nine touchdowns and zero picks. Here's
a familiar name for our listeners. The Bulldog's leading receiver
through three games is Zach Branch played two seasons at
USC before transferring out. He can run, catch, and return,
but after a strong freshman year in twenty twenty three,

(20:20):
he did not deliver at USC in twenty twenty four,
scoring just one touchdown. Now he's a Dog. Dawn almost
saw it. The Dogs deserve credit for coming back from
a twenty one to seven deficit of Tennessee a couple
weeks ago to ultimately pull off an overtime win. Bama
and Georgia are both coming off by so this should
be a high level game. I will take the time

(20:41):
plus three and a half points Flack. Oregon is four
and oh at Penn State three and oh four thirty
NBC Nitny Lyons favored by three and a half. This
is a rematch from last December's Big Ten Championship game
with the DUTs one forty five to third, but two
minutes left Penn State trailed by eight points and had

(21:03):
the ball at midfield, but Drew Allen threw a pick
on second down. So here's opening. The Ducks and Nitdney
Lions play another barn burner. Prior to last year's meeting,
these teams have not played since my senior year of
high school January first, nineteen ninety five Rose Bowl. That
was Kerrie collins Ki, Johnick, Carter, Kyle Brady undefeated Penn
State team, three first round picks. They crushed the Ducks

(21:27):
thirty eight to twenty, but there was no playoff for
BCS he had in college football, so they finished number
two behind the undefeated Nebraska Cornhuskers. That makes sense, man, Yeah.
The biggest trend in this game is James Franklin's twelfth
season Penn State. The Nidney Lions are four and twenty
versus top ten teams. They had a great run game,

(21:51):
and they have one with Nick Singleton and Kate tron Allen.
But I'm still waiting for the aforementioned Drew Aller to
deliver a significant signature Romans. The Ducks of Cruise threw
their first four games, quarterback Dante More formerly of UCLA,
completing seventy five percent of his passes with eleven touchdowns
just one pick. UCLA could use him. Now, I guess

(22:13):
do you think I'm expecting a low scoring game. I'm
taking we are Penn State minus the three and a
half to get revenge really from the December loss. But
I'm not done. Tonight twenty four, TCU three and zero
at Arizona State, six pm Fox, Devil's favored three and
a half. This game is tonight. A lot of points

(22:34):
in this game. Other than a close loss to Mississippi State,
Asus looked great. Last week's win at Baylor reminded the
Big twelve that the Devils weren't just Cam Skeetaboot. The
Frogs also had a statement win last week. They knocked
off SMU thirty five to twenty four in their Iron
Skillet rivalry game. Josh Hoover posted another elite game with

(22:57):
three hundred and seventy five yards and five touchdowns. Passings
of Hoover's touchdowns went to my guy, Joe Manjack, who
played at USC and wears nothing on his arms. Then
he was at Houston, now he's at TCU. ASU has
a former Trojan as well, and running back ray Leak Brown,

(23:19):
who's been great taking over for Skettiboot. Ray Leak was
at USC in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three
when Caleb Williams was a quarterback. He's a better fit
in Tempee where Kenny Dillingham gets him involved running and receiving. Tonight,
I'm going with the Dirt Devils minus the three and
a half points BYU three and zero at Colorado two

(23:42):
and two, seven to fifteen on ESPN. Cougar's favored by
six and a half.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
The bop there you go, don Colorado's in a marquee
window every week in every year, they're five hundred.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
They're walking a tight rope each week.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
What's the spread in this one, Pio.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
I'm considering picking CU plus the point said as a
home dog six and a half in year three and
Boulder Don is fifteen and fourteen overall five hundred. How
can he coach with the same urgency and buy in
with his two sons gone plus the Heisman winner Travis Hunter.
Now he's most interested in the most interesting newcomer in

(24:20):
his program, his new girlfriend Kruci tran influencer actress type
who is twenty two years his junior. As I mentioned,
I'm considering taking the buffs plus. But the hold up
is BYU looks great true freshman Bear Bachmeyer at quarterback.
We love the bach Myers. Bear is the youngest boy

(24:43):
in the family. He's nineteen years old playing with a
bunch of twenty five year old teammates. His older brother,
Tiger is a BYU receiver, Bear throwing to Tiger. It's
a that game at Fulsen be the first true road
atmosphere League game that Bear Bachmeyer is faced in college.

(25:03):
I'm taking the Buffs plus the six and a half,
and my off the menu prop from last week was
a winner. I chose USC committing nine over nine and
a half penalties against Michigan State and the Trojans at ten.
I come up with a good uh over under on
a little prop bet. Not an official line, not an

(25:27):
official wager. It's not one of my picks. It's a
phony line to have fun with. Okay, this week we
do have an official line though. The ASU TCU over
under for combined points is fifty four and a half.
I'm going over yeah because of Ray League and man Jack.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
He'll be wild in tempeed tonight.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Those are the picks favorites USC, Iowa State, Penn State,
ASU minus the points, and I'm taking under no UCLA,
Alabama and Colorado plus the point. There's fruit and losuegos.
Everyone enjoy the games. Then we'll be right back with
your dead and a live guy. Birthday of the Day.

This is where she became a star. Nineteen seventy eight, Grease,
huge star.

I know the guy that wrote Greece. His name is
Jim Jacobs. He spent a lot of time at my
father's restaurant, and he took me out to dinner for
my twenty first birthdays.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
He must have gotten paid for that, huh Yeah, but
not please?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Really? Yeah. I think he thought of himself as more
of a serious playwright, and his biggest hit was like
Booloo Boo.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
In nineteen eighty, she starred with Gene Kelly and Michael
Beck in the musical fantasy Xanadu.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
That has to Be Old Ass Gene Kelly Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Although the film was a critical failure, its soundtrack was
certified double platinums in five top twenty singles in nineteen
eighty one. Together Here Yeah, and a book he wrote.
In nineteen eighty one, the album Physical was at the
top of the charts Let's Do It. She would continue

(30:26):
to put out albums in the eighties, but also devoted
her time to her family and environmental issues. In the
late nineteen nineties, Olivia Newton John appeared in several made
for television Christmas movies. She continued to put out albums
into the two thousands. Married twice, has a daughter with

(30:47):
her first husband, Matt Litanzi in between marriages. In two
thousand and five, this is where it gets interesting. In
Petro's pay attention, her then boyfriend Patrick McDermott disappeared off
the coast of San Pedro.

too much. She died in twenty twenty two at the
age of seventy three at a ranch in Sanninez.

Very sad. Yeah, well, we're going to do another pop
star here. Are you excited?

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Rosalia an interesting Spanish pop star who is not just
a terrible pop star.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Better than Ezra's song too? Is it better than Ezra?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Reference? You usually don't get around here, especially on days
that Matt is off. No, she's she's a Spaniard. Oh
and she's really popular. Her real name is Rosalia Villa
Tobeya Villa Tobea. You know, in Spain you get a
bunch of names. Born in Cantalonia in ninety two, father

(32:03):
a metalworker and a mother a businesswoman. Her older sister
is her stylist but also her creative director. I'm sure
they never fight. No. She loved the performing arts growing
up down but she was enthralled by Spanish folk music
and she understood it as well. She has reimagined flamenco

(32:23):
by adding reggaeton and pop and hip hop elements. Don
sounds not a lot of the time someone's doing something
new with popular music, certainly not Olivia Newton John god
Rest her soul. Her breakthrough was this song Malamente, a
song that Spain heard and flipped out about and became

(32:47):
even bigger a global success. The album is highly all
time rated Rolling Stone says, one of the top five
hundred albums of all time. Really, She's had eleven number
ones in Spain, two Grammys out here, twelve Latin Grammys,
two Album of the Years within those Latin Grammys. Widely

(33:09):
considered to be the most influential Spanish singer since El Faery,
her biggest influence, their biggest influences outside of Epania are
James Blake and B York, which I know B York
is high on your list. You still have the CD
changer in your car and you keep one of those

(33:32):
B York albums right there.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
No, but I know who Byork is, at least her.

actress named Hunter Schaeffer, a trans person of some sort,
and then a Puerto Rican guy who came after the
trans person Hola, and then the guy from the Bear
